"We must be putting on quite a show," Melissa said observantly as she and Roman walked around the village surrounded by thousands of people.
Every time they turned the corner they had an audience, eyes were on them as they walked arm and arm through the village.
"It's not every day they see the notorious pirate with a beautiful woman," he said with a smile before he kissed her cheek softly.
"Surely you have ventured into town with thousands of women before me," she said with a smile as her blue eyes sparkled in the sunshine.
"Surely you're mistaken, My Lady," he responded.
"My women never ventured anywhere with me unless it was to the bedroom for some bed sport. I am not one to venture into town with women. I prefer to venture myself but as my wife I want you by my side," he explained.
"People are going to stare and question," he said,
"they're curious."
"Their curiosity is going to prevent me from doing what I need to earn some money," she said honestly.
"If all eyes are on us, I can't be too secretive," she said.
"I'm sure it is easily done, show me please how you plan to take money from these townspeople?" he asked greedily.
Roman had a need for money and currency. He raided ships and homes to find valuables and coins.
He wanted to use his wife's charms to help his fortune. He was aware of the gypsy lifestyle and their trickery as well. He believed they would make a great team.
He had been so occupied looking around the village as they walked to notice that Melissa's arm was no longer linked with his.
"So will you show me how you plan to get coins from these people?" he asked again.
"As simple as this," she said holding up a bag of coins with a smile on her face.
Roman checked his breeches and checked the tie that once held his gold coins.
He looked at his wife as she held up her prize.
"Are those my coins?"
"Very much, My Love," she said with a smile of pride and deviance she was proud of her work no doubt.
She was proud that she accomplished to steal his gold coins without him being wise to her actions. She had him distracted, just the way she wished him to be.
"You really shouldn't keep your gold coins where someone like I could get them," she said teasingly.
"How did you?"
"Ah," she said.
"It is very simple your attention was elsewhere, focused on the crowd before us. You didn't realize I slipped my arm from yours and that I untied your coins from your breeches. That's everyone's first mistake, not paying attention. Gypsies do well when crowds as large as this are distracted."
