Pirate Princess

On top of the world

Did he just call me by my real name? The way he said it gave me a warm feeling in my stomach and I cursed myself for getting all excited about that.

He tossed the clothes on my bed and I realized that they were similar to the clothes the pirates wore, just a little smaller.

„They shrunk while washing, might be just the size you need" he said as I ran my fingers across the fabric. It was soft and luckily without any holes in it which was not so often seen among the crew.

„Thank you" I said and he looked at me happily. Then he turned around „Alright, I'll let you get dressed"

„Wait" I said, suddenly remembering my corset problem. He gave me a questioning look. „Could you uh maybe like open the back of the corset for me...? I can't do that myself" I stuttered and felt my face turn a deep shade of red.

„Yeah sure" he shrugged, not minding my awkwardness. I turned my back to him and he slowly started to loosen the tight cording, his warm fingers brushing my skin.

If father would see this, he would probably freak out but he was the one who insisted on the corset and I needed to get out of it.

I could not stand the thought of being trapped in this thing until I am home again. God knows, when that will be. He loosened the rest of the laces and I felt his warm breathing against my skin.

When he was finished he inhaled a sharp breath and stepped away from me quickly: „All done, you're welcome" he muttered and quickly left. I took a deep breath for the first time in a while, relieved. Oh lung volume, how I missed you.

I glanced over at the door, how was I sure that nobody would come in and see me undress? I quickly moved a chair in front of the door, blocking it.

After a while I had successfully put on the clothes. It fit almost perfect, a little too wide but I was actually happy about that. It felt extremely weird wearing pants.

It was something that I wasn't allowed to do at home at all. It's not ladylike they said, screw them. Special times call for special measures. I feel awesome.

I took a few steps and strutted through the room, enjoying the feeling of not having a huge dress restricting my motions.

I probably looked like I was one of them now. I haven't seen my hair yet but I'm guessing it's completely tangled. I ran my fingers through it, trying to comb it. It wasn't that bad actually. I quickly braided it to prevent it from getting completely tangled up.

I slowly removed the chair and peeked outside.
„Look at you, a little pirate bride" I heard the Captain chuckle. They were all staring at me, some whistling. I blushed and looked around uncomfortably.

Why did I ever think this was a good idea?

„Ready to climb the mast now, luv?" the Captain asked and I smiled widely. „Absolutely uh...Captain"

„Just call me Orion" he said and I nodded.
That's a good sign right? On the other hand he already called me by my first name so it was only fair I got to do that as well.

I made my way to the mast and started climbing the ladder. „Bloddy hell she's really going for it"

I chuckled and kept climbing until I reached the top. I slung my arms around the mast, holding on for dear life. „It sure is high" I stated, a little unsure of what to do now.

„Ignore that, just enjoy the view" Orion shouted and I looked around at the kilometers of water surrounding us, glittering in the sun.

I asked for an adventure, here it was and part of me was starting to enjoy it.
