The captains Temptress

chapter 9

You all will never understand how much I love writing this book😍
---------------------------❤---------------------------

A week and a half had fully passed since the kiss. Rosalind couldn't keep her mind off it though. She was falling for the captain. It was out of the question though, a man like him would never want her. She had hardly seen him all week. Lucian had taken to staying away from her and she had no clue why. It hurt in a way to know he wanted to avoid her. She tried everything to have him notice her. Nothing worked anymore. She slept in her own little cabin alone each night wishing he was there with her. Most of her time she spent in the kitchen with cookie. He was slowly teaching her how to cook. It was rather fun. Today though was like any other day. Cookie and her were in the kitchen doing the normal. Rosalind didn't bother hiding her sad face anymore. It wasn't worth it she was sad and wanted to be happy with a man she could never have. "Aye little miss why thee long face" cookie asked her. I guess he couldn't take it anymore. He had become something of a father figure to Rosalind. He hated to see her sad or hurt. Non of the crew dare mess with her in fear that cookie might get to them.
"I am not sad I am just...." Rosalind was at a loss for words. What did one say to hide there love for another. "Aye see the way ya look at him. With big doe eyes, you have a thing for captain Lucian."cookie said to her. She tried to open her mouth to speak but was cut off. "Don't deny it little miss he looks at ye just the same. I always catch him look'n at ye when your not look'n". She couldn't help but smile at cookies words. Did he really watch her? No he couldn't....could he? "I say ye go up top and tell him how ye feel it can't hurt non" cookie told her. He had a point, it was best to do so now it was dusk out by now. Most of the crew would be down for the night. Rosalind picked herself up and brushed out her skirts. She was ready to face him. She didn't let fear block her sights she just pushed through.
She had been down bellow so long she wasn't aware of what was happening up top. A storm had hit rather hard. Water pelted down and came up over from the ocean bellow. Rosalind tried to find Lucian in all the mess but couldn't. She made her choice and pushed through the men. All were trying to fix the sails and ropes. In the short distance she could her Lucian yelling to the crew. She followed the voice to the railing. "Lucian" she called out hoping he would hear her. She got as close as she could to him. He noticed her finally but his eyes were filled with rage. "Bloody hell woman what are you doing up here your going to get yourself killed!" He yelled at her. All the confidence she had crashed at that moment. She wanted to turn to run but was knocked into by a sailor. His body hit her like a wall sending her over the rail. "Rosalind! Noo" she heard the scream from Lucian as she hit the dark cold waters.

"MAN OVER BOARD" Lucian yelled. He grabbed a rope and had it tied to one of the sails. He had to get her or else he would lose her. Lucian kept the rope tight in hand and dove into the waters bellow. They were dark and cold and unwelcoming. He swam around being hit by wave after wave. He had no luck with finding the girl that held his heart. He couldn't lose her not now not ever. He dove down once more, seeing a small body floating. He grabbed out for her and brought her up. She was out cold it had to be her corset. Lucian held her in one arm yelling as best he could to the crew to pull him up. As they pulled he climbed with Rosalind over his shoulder. He grabbed out for the railing bringing himself and Rosalind over. He laid her down on the wet floor of the deck. She was barely breathing, he grabbed the knife he kept in his boot. Lucian cut open he front of her dress. Her chest heaved as air rushed into her lungs. She coughed up water and shook from the cold. Lucian ripped the rest of her dress leving her in a almost nothing. He took his own shirt off and threw it on her. "Jonathan have someone bring a bath to my cabin" he ordered taking Rosalind down bellow. She shook in his arms from the cold.
Lucian held her in his arms until the bath had been made for her in his cabin. "Rosalind I have to remove the clothes now" he said to her. She nodded and let him remove the shirt and remaining articles of her clothes. He didn't waste time setting her into the bath. She need to be warmed up and fast. Lucian took the time to notice her body. It was small yet perfect. She had curves that any man would love to explore, her breasts were round and full. He couldn't help but stare unable to remove his eyes from her. "God your beautiful" he whispered out unknowingly. "Lucian I came up top to tell you I can't stop thinking about you. Your driving me mad with everything you make me feel." She said to him. Her words stuck to him, she wanted him? He tried to save her from himself. He kept away from her so he couldn't ruin her. Now...now he wanted her he had one chance and by God he would take it. "You drive me mad with your beauty. I have tried to stop myself from ruining you but now I don't think I can stop" he said to her. The words that left her mouth sent him into a world of suprise. "Then take me".
