The captains Temptress

chapter 15

Bea and William sat with cookie for what felt like hours. She couldn't believe she was back with her father.

She had no where else to go. No man would ever take her as a wife since she had a child out of wedlock. William would forever be known as a bastard.

No he was just a boy. He was her son her one real love. Oh she wished for a father for her young son. He deserves everything. No man would consider her though. After having a child she had a bit of a tummy now. Her figure much more curvey. Her hips a bit more bigger. Anyone could tell he had a child. Her breasts were no longer smaller and perky but more full from breast feeding.

The night had gotten longer. The long day had finally bit bea. She laid down in the bad with William and fell asleep into a peaceful bliss.

Jonathan had been readying the crew to set sail. They were leaving right away.

Jon was a good man he came from a good family. His father died at sea when he was only a lad. It never stopped him though from sailing the seas.

The adventure was amazing the feeling he got seeing new places. It was something one could never get enough of. Until a young lady comes abored.

Jon was taken by bea. She was a beautiful woman after all. The fact she had a babe didn't bug him like it would most men. Jonathan never knew how much he really wanted a family until now.

He was a bit older now so finding a wife wasn't as easy. Some young girls only took to men his age if they had money. He didn't want a woman who just wanted money. He wanted love affection a family.

His mind drifted to bea. Would she ever marry him? Even if it was for her own sake of a normal life. No one in England would know of willam or her. He could say the young babe was his. Bea would be spared of the rumors and names.

Jin couldn't think like this right now though. Lucian needed him to focus. They needed to get rosalind back. Lucian needed his happily ever after first.

It was always dark. You couldn't tell if it was night or day. How many days had passed or maybe even weeks.

Rosalind had lost track time was moving by and she didn't know how fast. Edward rarely came to see her which for her was nice. He normally brought her food. Food had been her best friend she was so hungry.

She had lost some weight but still looked to heavy for some reason.

Rosalind had taken off a few bits of clothing. Some being stockings extra pettie coats. If she was going to be prisoner she could at least be comfortable.

Foot steps soon came to her ears. The sound was one that could be good or bad. If it was someone else good but if Edward it was bad. Rosalind never knew how to feel.

The door opened and a young girl no more then 12 came in. She carried a tray of food. There was more on it then normal. Maybe Edward had a heart to atlas feed her.

The girl set the tray down but kept her eyes on the food. She looked skinny and pale. Like she hadn't eaten in a bit or didn't get enough. Rosalind couldn't bring herself to see the girl be hungry. " would you like some food"?.

The girl looked scared and a bit shocked by her kindness. She shook her head. "He will be mad if I take from you. He says your his queen. I don't see why though he treats you so bad". The girl whispered to her almost.

Rosalind felt her heart ach a bit. She pushed the food towards the girl. "Please eat he won't have to know"

The girl looked scared like she wouldn't do it. In the end she grabbed a small scrap of food and nibbled on it. "Thank you" she whispered out.

Time pasted as the two talked. Rosalind had learned the girl was 14! Edward bought her from a slave trade. She looked scared as she spoke of it. The girls name was lijah. She told Rosalind that it had been a week almost 2 since they set sail from new York.

It was hard to believe how much time had passed. Rosalind had now given up hope of being saved. She didn't blame Lucian ether. She lied to him he would be better off with out her.

"I want her now!" Lucian yelled. The man who stood in his cabin in front of the desk just looked to him with fear. "We are trying our hardiest but Edward got the head start. We are doing all we can."

Lucian could help but yell at the man to leave. He was mad. This was the love of his life. He would kill Edward to have her back. He needed her to live. 

Lucian pulled out the ring from his pocket. He always had it on him. The small gold ring held a small diamond. It was expensive but he would give the girl anything to see her smile. She deserves the world.

Lucian never left his cabin much anymore. Today was a day he would though. He needed air.

Once outside he stood looking over everyone. The sea air whipped his face it felt good. Lucian watched as the men worked hard doing there jobs.

The one thing that caught his eye was Jonathan. He was bouncing a baby on his hip. The young baby giggled as he did this. The mother loved it too as she watch her son cry with happiness.

Lucian thought the nights Rosalind and him had spent together. Could she be with child? He didn't really try and prevent it. For her sake he hoped not. At least until she was back with him.
