“Don’t worry, I will.”
Helping her off the catamaran, he walked with her a short distance to make sure the obnoxious detective had left, then quickly returned to the salon and called Jack.
“Hi, Scott, perfect timing,” Jack declared, answering the call on the first ring. “I’ve just finished talking to Jay, one of the cops I told you about. Dan Miller did check in, but he was told he couldn’t take any action without notifying them.”
“Well, he did, and he was just here again,” Scott exclaimed. “Mandy was dropping off the chips and salsa she forgot to put in the bags, and he burst through the door threatening to arrest that woman he’s looking for. The guy is out of control.”
“What? He can’t do that. I’m calling Jay back right now to tell him about this.”
“I think you should, then can you come over for a minute? I want to leave, but I’m here by myself and I need another pair of hands for the lines.”
“Sure, and I take it this means your date showed up?”
“Yep, and I’m setting sail before that asshole decides to come back.”
“Good idea, I’ll be right there.”
“Thanks, Jack.”
Music had always soothed Elizabeth’s soul, and under strict orders to wait in her cabin until Scott returned, she had retrieved her iPod from her bag. Pushing the EarPods in place, she’d stretched out and closed her eyes. Exhausted from no sleep, no food, and the danger swirling around her, she soon drifted off, remaining sublimely unaware of the drama playing out in the salon. But in her dreams, she had her own scene evolving…
Carrying her against his hip like a sack of potatoes, the muscled seaman crossed the deck and kicked open the door of his cabin.
“Let me go, you bastard,” she squealed, trying to squirm from his fierce hold.
“You’ve always been a spirited wench, but I’ll soon tame you,” he retorted, marching across to his bed. “A good walloping will put you in your place, then you’ll find out what it’s like to be taken by a real man.”
“You’re not a man,” she wailed, trying to beat him with her fists. “You’re a beast and a brute.”
Ignoring her feeble attempts to escape, he settled on the side of the bed and effortlessly shifted her across his lap.
“I’ve watched you wiggle your hips walking around in that tavern, now I’ll finally see your naked ass.”
“No, no, stop!”
“Be quiet and be still, or you’ll be sorry,” he warned, tightly holding her as he lifted the folds of her dress over her waist.
Mortified and afraid, she held her breath, waiting for the inevitable exposure.
“Ah yes, full and plump just as I thought…” he mumbled, smoothing his hand over her backside.
Though still covered by the thin cotton pantaloons, she could feel the roughness of his hand as he fondled and lightly slapped her backside.
“Already she settles,” he grunted. “Perhaps she’s easier to tame than I thought.”
“She?” Elizabeth shouted impulsively, infuriated by his comment and violently kicking out her legs.
Laughing out loud, he placed his leg over the back of her knees and landed a flurry of hot, stinging swats. Though she wailed and tried to gyrate her hips away from the smarting smacks, he had her locked in place.
“Disobey and my hand talks for me. Do you understand?”
“Ooh, yes…”
“You will say yes, Captain.”
“Yes, Captain,” she whimpered.
“Don’t forget it,” he added sternly, delivering another searing smack.
