Kit was an easy mark for someone as beguiling as Serenity.
Worse, Kit was the one person on the ship who knew the entire truth about Morgan and Jake.
“What?” Kit asked as he neared them.
“Stay away from Serenity,” Morgan and Jake said simultaneously.
Under more normal circumstances it would have been funny.
“Seduce her, Drake,” Jake said, his gaze returning to the source of their discussion. “A woman in love will go to her grave before she betrays her man.”
Morgan shook his head. “And a woman scorned will cry out your darkest secrets from the highest mountaintop. Which is exactly what she’ll do if I seduce her, then refuse to marry her.”
“Then marry her,” Jake snapped. “Leave her pregnant and at home to tend your brats while you’re away.”
It was a thought. It was definitely a thought. But he’d made that mistake before and to this day, he paid for that mistake in nightmares and guilt.
He’d left one wife to die while he was off at sea. He’d never leave another.
If only he could convince Jake of that fact.
Kit spoke up. “I don’t see why you’re worrying, Captain. She loves the Sea Wolf. I don’t think she’d ever tell who you really are, so what does it matter if she writes her story?”
Morgan took a deep breath. “Serenity only knows that the Sea Wolf was a blockade runner during the war and that he now frees impressed sailors. What she doesn’t know is who Ireallyam.”
“No,” Jake corrected. “She doesn’t know whowereally are.”
Jake looked back to where Serenity sat next to Ushakii. “The day she learns that, Drake, I’m going to cut her throat, and you won’t be able to stop me.”
