The Pirate And the Feisty Maid-- Part One—at His Hand
“Indeed, she hadn’t expected him to return from his journey at sea for another two weeks’ time. She should have known. Two years they’d been together, and he always surprised her, weeks early or weeks late.
So here he stood before her, not taking her into his arms like she’d expect from a lover having just returned after six months away, but rather pacing the room like an animal caged, his power coiled tight within.
“I’ve heard rumors, Molly. Rumors that ye weren’t on yer best behavior whilst I ...was away.” When he spoke, his demeanor was one of calm and control, as it always was when dealing with her. Never had he raised his voice to her, for there was no need, their understanding of one another complete. “Is it true, lass?”
How he managed to hear rumors whilst at sea had always been a mystery to her. Perhaps he just assumed she’d misbehave in his absence, for she always did. The months he was gone left her so lonely, she could not bear it. At the worst of times, she’d seek comfort in the arms of her maid.MoreLess
