Sarah's Pirate
“The woman was as fiery as her hair and judging by her actions so far, probably not too bright. She lay sleeping on the cot in one of his holding cells, the black eyes from her broken nose contrasting sharply with her pale skin. He’d been worried that after so many stun hits she might be permanently damaged, but the ship’s medic had assured him that she was fine and would sleep off the worst of it. She’d probably wake with a killer headache, but well, he could probably use that to his advantage....

At least this way he’d have something to bargain with—give him her co-operation and he’d fix her face.
