Pirate's Lost Booty 11
Chapter 11
"You ..." The Sea Wolf tells me, "Come with me for punishment..."
It's a hot day on the sea. Morale is still low on the ship and the heat isn't really helping. I'm being a steward helping Ashton and O'Malley with their morning chores when the Sea Wolf comes up to me. A few people notice that I've been getting these "punishments" more often.
"He didn't do anything," Ashton states.
"Mind your damn business mate," the Sea Wolf threatens him.
"NO! We're tired of this shit," Ashton gets upset even more, "He didn't fucking do anything!"
I'm not surprised Ashton is on edge. Most of the crew members have been on edge since Holystone damn near got them all killed by my father in an attempt to save Bello who had gone overboard. The tension on the ship was plausible to say the least. Most of the boys were finding any reason to get pissed off and Ashton had made it his specific mission to be pissed off because of all of the "punishments" I have been receiving from the Sea Wolf.
"Say something else," Bello warns Ashton, "I dare you. I'm the Quartermaster on this ship. Don't you fucking forget it? Or did you want me to tell Holystone?"
Bello gets in Ashton's face. He's threatening. I would be intimidated if I were him. It's causing a bit of a scene. The carpenter and a few of his cabin boys are walking past but stop in their tracks to watch how Ashton is standing up to the Sea Wolf. Not many boys have been able to do that but I have to admit Ashton seems to have completely grown a MASSIVE pair of balls comparable only to Billy Big Balls at this point.
"You think we're scared...we're not scared..."
I'm shocked. The tension is so thick on the boat that I see O'Malley sweating a little bit and breathing heavy as though something is really about to go down.
"I can make you afraid."
"You can try."
"You have a big bark, let's see you prove it."
"STOP!" I interrupt.
I can't let this go on any longer. I'm scared and I'm not sure for who. Bello is stronger than Ashton but I don't think Bello was aware that Ashton was not alone. I see the way O'Malley paces. I notice how the Carpenter grasps on his ax.
This could go bad...
"I'll go," I state.
"No," Ashton responds.
"It's OK."
I move before Ashton has the ability to stop Bello from taking me away. I know that Ashton has his heart in the right place but I can see this anger that keeps building in him. Maybe Bello doesn't see it. Maybe Bello doesn't care. Either way I knew something was about to blow up pretty soon.
~
We get down to lower levels. I'm thrown fully dressed into a huge bucket of cold water. It feels so brisk that at first, I'm pissed Bello would do that but soon he jumps into the huge bucket with me and presses his body against me. I feel the immediate relief from the hot ass day.
"You ready for your punishment?" Bello asks me.
He kisses me...hard.
His tongue rubs against my tongue. His heart beats up against my chest. He licks my lips, bites my tongue and I pull his hair in return. As he kisses me he strips me naked in the brisk water. He takes all my wet clothes over the side of the bucket.
"Bello..."
"Relax the clothes will dry by the time I'm done with you. This is going to be a long punishment."
He places his hands in my asshole and pushes, easily into my asshole. He has stretched me out by how much we have sex. These so-called punishments have gone on three or four times a day.
"No...I'm not talking about the clothes," I tell Bello, "People are getting mad. They are starting...to...BELLO!"
Bello has turned me over and thrust his dick into my asscheeks. I feel the heaviness of his huge cock pushing into me. I feel him kissing the side of my neck. It is so painful at first and yet feels so good. No wonder why people have been feeling so sorry for me. It's nearly impossible for me to sit. They probably thought Bello was doing some real torture to me.
This has to be the best torture I ever had.
"I've been thinking about this all day," he tells me.
He used to avoid me. It wasn't too long ago that I couldn't imagine Bello looking at me for too long without a sickened look glazing over his handsome face but now it's the opposite. He's never touched me so soft. He's never been so gentle. He's never been so completely addicted to anyone in this world like me.
It's clear that Bello can't take his hands off of me.
I pull out from underneath him and attempt to talk. Every time I open my mouth though a tongue enters in it. His appetite is something I've not seen before. He wants me in the worst way.
"Bello seriously. I think you need to make another excuse to see me. The punishments aren't working. People are getting upset."
He seems irritated that I'm talking instead of making love.
"The punishments are the only thing that won't get Holystone suspicious."
"Holystone isn't my concern right now."
"Then who? Ashton?"
The Sea Wolf laughs at the thought. I'm so serious though and I show him when I try to move away from him for laughing at me.
"It's not a fucking joke."
"Wait wait..." he says gently pulling me back in a way that I've never seen the Sea Wolf talk to anyone before. He's being very gentle, very soft and very sweet.
"Listen, Bello. Ashton is not alone. People think Holystone is sending you to punish me. They think he's a coward who can't do his own dirty work."
"Holystone doesn't care what people think."
"Obviously. That's why he has a mutiny on his hands."
He looks at me seriously now. His eyes melt into mine. I can see that he is really distracted by his hormones by what I just say. A slight bit of the Sea Wolf comes out but he is still holding back much more than he normally would.
"You think I'd let them take over this ship?" he asks me.
"Why are you protecting him?" I ask.
"You don't get it."
"Then explain it..."
"No. I'm not. I have to suffer Holystone all day to get just a few moments with you. I won't waste them talking about him too. We've been through enough adventures. Escaping your father, escaping your father again, surviving at sea and getting away from your mother. Let's just enjoy this time now that we're happy and we're together."
Bello is right. For a man of so few words when he did speak it was so powerful. He hits me with those words and follows up by sucking my lower lip, slowly caressing me as though we have all the time in the world.
I am the one with the curse but I can't resist him.
Before I know it I'm pulling on his silver dreadlocks pushing him onto the side of the barrel. I lick on his broad chest. I lip on his nipples and the small hairs on his stomach. I feel his dick growing, bobbing in the water. He claws along my back and makes his way to my ass. His ass slaps on my cheeks a few times hard. He turns me around and begins to continue where we left off.
"UGH, fuck me!" I growl at him.
He obliges thrusting inside of me slowly. His balls slap against my cheeks. I feel a wave of water splashing up against me. It reminds me of the sea water splashing up against the shore. The sea gets rougher as he gets harder and harder. He chokes me and bites the back of my neck. He presses his hands up against my inner thighs, gyrating them slowly. I squeal in delight feeling him plow harder and harder into me. He gets deeper and deeper.
He lowers his mouth next to my ears and begins to grunt.
"It's so good. This ass is mine..."
"Is it?"
His strokes are long. His torso moves in circular motions. Slow and deliberate yet powerful like a hurricane moving across a field.
"That heart is mine too..."
"I love you Bello."
This seems to send him over the edge, "I'm about to cum..."
Before he cums I hear the sound of feet tumbling into the room. I turn and see none other than Trip! My heart drops when I see his face. He looks at me and then looks at Bello!
There was no talking ourselves out of this situation!
"Fuck..." I state.
Trip must realize the look that replaces the Sea Wolf's face because he turns to run. He doesn't get far. He's not nearly as quick enough.
The Sea Wolf hops out of the bucket and tackles him to the ground before Trip can hit the door. The Sea Wolf tackles him and restrains him.
"It was you...you attacked me that night," Trip realizes.
Maybe he remembers how the person pounced on him. I remember why Bello attacked Trip. He attacked him because of me. Of course, I didn't know that back then. I had no idea who attacked Trip. Trip looks over at us. I had killed his brother and Bello had beat him to a pulp. We were not this guy's friends. It was clear.
"Baby...grab me my knife. I'm about to do what I should have done a while ago..." Bello states.
I hesitate. I'm excited that Bello just called me baby but I hate the idea of killing Trip. Maybe it's because I was so confused the day that I killed Track. I hadn't meant to even though it was self-defense. For some reason, I feel reluctant to hurt Trip at all.
"You going to say anything?" I ask Trip.
"Of course not," Trip states, "I don't care what you two do..."
Bello isn't having it. I watch has he positions his hands over Trip's neck. Without a knife I knew Bello was willing to strangle Trip with his bare hands. I can see the look in Bello's eyes. He's afraid Holystone will find out our secret. He's willing to kill to keep it a secret.
"He's lying," Bello states, "He'll do it.
I don't know what to do. I don't fully believe Trip either but at the same time, I hated the idea of Holystone being with Bello.
Would it be the worst thing in the world if Bello's feelings for me were revealed?
It could possibly explain those punishments and stop the mutiny that was about to happen.
"Please...let him go," I state.
"Lafayette..."
"For me."
I had pulled something I knew he wouldn't turn from. Besides, I hated the idea of naked Bello grappling down Trip for longer than he needed to. The only person he needed to be naked wrestling with was me.
Bello gets off of him. Trip doesn't hesitate to leave the room in a hurry.
Bello looks over at me with questioning eyes, "You made a mistake..."
Maybe that was a mistake. Maybe I wasn't a pirate. Maybe sparing Trip was the weak thing to do, but sometimes being weak wasn't such a bad thing.
~
I get back to the cabins late that night.
"Where have you been?" Black Jack asks.
I shake my head. The threat with Trip revealing us didn't stop Bello from making love to me several more times that night. You would think it was the last time. Maybe he was scared it was. I didn't mind though. I could hardly walk as I make my way to my bed and collapse. I try to put on a scowl to hide my pleasure at that point.
"I'm fine," I tell him.
"No...no you're not," Ashton approaches me.
He's with Skyrat and O'Malley. The two of them look down at me with some serious concern in their eyes.
"This has to stop now," O'Malley states.
"I told you guys...I'm fine. Seriously."
"No fuck that," Ashton states, "If he hurts you he hurts me."
Ashton had to get it through his brain that if anything was to go on between us it would have happened already. He refuses to give up. Maybe he thinks playing tough like this is going to fix things.
"What do you want to do? Take over the ship?" Black Jack asks.
"Why not?" Ashton asks.
"I'm with you," O'Malley states.
Black Jack shakes his head, "This is dangerous talk..."
"I'm not going to let Holystone's Sea Wolf keep torturing him..."
I'm annoyed. Black Jack may have had a little crush on me but I knew he was the smartest among my friends and wouldn't act on his dick. The rest of them were literally going around having a dick measuring contest.
"I don't need your protection," I let them know.
"I care about you. I want to show you I can protect you," Ashton states.
He seems resilient in his resolve.
"He isn't hurting me," I whisper to the group.
"What?" Skyrat asks, "We see how you walk..."
I get quiet.
Black Jack is the first to realize what all of this means, "You and...the Sea Wolf?"
I nod. It feels heavy that he's saying this to me. The other two keep looking at me as though I'm speaking some whole other language. I'm not really concerned with them though. My eyes go straight over to Ashton. Ashton looks at me with this real confused look. I might as well have been speaking another language besides the usual pirate lingo that spread across the ship.
Ashton seems so hurt at that moment. The look on his face just doesn't seem to quite get it.
"What did he do to you? Did he rape you?"
He wasn't getting it. The others get quiet. They seem to get it immediately but Ashton is just so confused.
"No. It was willing."
"The man is a monster. How many times has he done you harm? I hated myself for bringing you to this ship BECAUSE of what he did to you with the Judas Chair. And now...now you're with him..."
He gets loud. He gets real loud. A few boys around us turn. It's Black Jack who tries to quiet him and bring it in so the other boys don't hear what the conversation is.
"I can't help how I feel," I state.
"You chose HIM over me?" Ashton states.
"He chose him over the rest of us," O'Malley responds, "Don't take it so personally."
Ashton doesn't seem to be calming down, "No. It's not the fucking same. Our connection when we first met was real. That shit was authentic. I didn't pull that out of nowhere. I didn't pull our chemistry out of nowhere."
He was right.
When I first met Ashton I could have sworn that he was the person that I could possibly end up with at some point. Ashton was just that gentleman. He was a pirate with a mysterious and yet elegant side to him. He wasn't the man known as the Sea Wolf. He wasn't the nightmare. Yet sometimes you fall in love with the dream and no the nightmares.
"I have something to tell you," I admit.
"What?"
I hesitate.
"Ashton..."
"Just spit it out."
"Ashton I'm your brother."
There is an audible gasp from the other boys but not from Ashton. We didn't really look alike in any sort of way. Our personalities weren't even all that similar.
"You're lying..."
"He's not," Skyrat adds in.
There is an awkwardness at that moment.
"Your father had another son," I tell him, "The Captain knows about it. Right now we are on our way to sacrifice me to the witchdoctor's gate so that the curse on me can be broken."
What was a pirate adventure without a curse and a broken heart? Seeing Ashton like this though makes me sick to my stomach. He looks so upset. I look over and see how upset he is.
"Damn..."
"Ashton..."
"Don't touch me!"
He must believe me. Maybe he always knew that there was a point where I just stopped being interested in him. Now he knew what that point was and why. I can see his mind pondering as he walks away from me. I watch as Ashton goes to sit on his own cot. He doesn't look at me. He just stares at the ground thinking. His brain seems to be working over time. I've never seen him so upset but I can fully understand why this is happening right now.
I can fully understand why he is so pissed at this point.
"Just give him time," Black Jack whispers to me.
He tries to comfort me by putting a hand on my shoulder but it doesn't work. I feel like shit. I should have told Ashton so much sooner so that he didn't get his feelings worked up into me. I should have let him know what it was.
~
The next few days, Ashton acts like I don't exist. He doesn't look at me in my eyes. He walks past me even when I'm talking to our friends. He avoids me on purpose and I don't think Black Jack was completely right. Time wasn't helping this situation. I can tell we are getting closer to our destination. I don't know how I know but I can feel it.
I can feel it because there is a heat in the air. It's this unique heat that I've never felt before. I can feel it because Holystone has locked himself to the steers himself. He won't pry himself away from the map even for a minute. He wants to make sure we are right on course. He wants to break this curse so badly.
And I was the sacrifice.
And I had no way to break it. I had no way to get out of this.
"Line up..." one of the Boatswain announces.
I look over at O'Malley confused when I see a bunch of the lower level crew members coming to the top deck at this time of day. Usually, the heat kept anyone who didn't have to work the deck below.
"What's going on?" I ask O'Malley.
O'Malley shrugs, "Holystone seems bothered about something..."
"Is it..."
I stop short of saying it. I wonder if Holystone found out that people were speaking out against him on the ship. Did Bello tell?
When the boys line up I see Bello behind Holystone. Holystone has a gun in his hands. Something is happening. Something bad. I can tell by the look in the Captain's eyes and even the rare embarrassed look that Bello is wearing at this time.
The Captain paces slowly around to the center of his crew. All eyes are on his vexing, cold stare.
"One of you has something to admit to..."
He pauses.
A few people look around. I see Ashton in the distance. He's standing next to Trip and Black Jack on the other side of the deck. Our eyes connect at the same time. I smile at him trying to give him strength but he looks away...uninterested.
"...I discovered something. Something Bello has been hiding," Holystone announces, "I've discovered the fact that one of you are sleeping with the man I love."
There are gasps on the ship.
My heart sinks.
I wonder how he found out about it. I turn to Trip. Trip doesn't return my stare. Did he tell? Could he have told?
Did it matter?
Would Holystone kill me? I was going to be sacrificed anyway. It didn't matter.
Holystone points his gun around the crowd causing a bit of panic, "He doesn't have sex with me anymore and last night he told me that he was in love with someone else and he doesn't want to touch me. I want to know who that person is."
Bello almost growls at that moment, "Holystone don't do this. I told you I wasn't going to say who it was."
Bello finally stopped with Holystone. He finally stopped being his little sex slave. I should be happy but immediately I'm frightened.
I look over at Trip.
Trip knew it was me.
Holystone points his gun, "NO one touches Bello, except for me! Those are the rules. Everyone knows the rules and everyone knows the consequences. Admit who it is."
Everyone gets quiet.
No one talks.
I look over at Trip nervously. He isn't talking.
"WHO IS IT!" Holystone growls.
"It's Lafayette."
I turn towards Trip realizing it came from his way but it's not Trip who ratted me out...
It's Ashton.
