Zombies, Books, and First Mate
Looking up from her book as she heard the excited chatter of her crew, Scarlet smiled. The love for her crew was so strong that she was delighted in how high spirited they were. Jason and David weren't very far away from her, so she could hear what they were saying very clearly.
"So when we get there, I'm going to go find a beautiful woman to 'hang' with. I'll need to be picky, because all the women will want to 'hang' with me." Jason said in a narcissistic but cool way.
"Yeah yeah. Go be a perv for all I care. I am going to go to the local game shop and get me the latest game in the Bounty Hunter Series. Bounty Hunter Four: Zombies! Oh I can't wait!" David sighed, going off into a daydream about his beloved video game.
Scarlet chuckled as she watched her friends talk about what they want to go do once they hit land again. It has been about a month for them. No doubt they have been getting restless. There are only three women on the ship, including herself. While there are about eight men. One might expect the men wouldn't have as much of a 'problem', but the two women she had picked out were fierce. Plus, no one dared try anything with their captain. They weren't wanting to find out personally why she was called 'Devil's Wrath' Scarlet.
She went back to her book, Guilty Pleasures, to read some more. It had been getting good but she was almost at the end of it. 'Hmm, might pick up the next book.'
Becky's voice from up in the Crow's Nest caught her attention. "Yo Captain, I see an island. It's about thirty minutes away at our current speed. Shall we dock there?" Becky shouts loud enough to be heard over the crew.
It was to be expected from a top ranking bounty hunting sniper, that Becky had wonderful eye sight. Both her and her sister were bounty hunters after her when she had first met them. They are both excellent gunmen in their own rights. She eventually won them over, a gift that had helped her recruit most of her crew she currently had.
Setting her book down on the table next to her, she stands up and walks over towards the Crow's Nest. "Yeah, I think that would be a wise decision. Though, I do feel sorry for the townsfolk." She replied loud enough to be heard while retaining a smile upon her face.
Scarlet turned around and headed for the navigation room where her first mate and navigator, Glen, was located at. Upon reaching the door she turned the knob and walked inside. He looked up from the detailed map he was staring at and leaned back in his chair with a coy smile laid upon his face. "Glen, Becky just informed me that there is an island about thirty minutes ahead of us. Would you happen to know anything about the island?" She in a calm and friendly manner to him.
After standing up from his chair, he approached her, while adjusting his glasses as they attempt to slide down his handsome face. His hair was the color of freshly baked brownies. It was medium length and semi messy but the way his bangs would touch the edge of his glasses, it made the women at every island want to be with him. His eyes, beautiful like fine silver jewelry with jade pieces embedded into it, making you want to gaze at them forever. His skin, creamy like the color of chamomile tea and cream mixed well. It was soft but not delicate. His smile, warm and inviting like a fire in the cold on a wintry night. His body, underneath his unbuttoned suit, was lean and at the same time slightly buffed. She had accidentally walked in on him when he was in the shower and saw more than a female captain should see of her male first mate.
When the space between then was roughly a foot apart, he spoke with a deep and crisp tone that was very attractive to her and probably almost every woman alive. "Yes, I do happen to know, Captain. It is Dream Wake Island. It is an autumn island that is neutral to both pirates and navy. Relatively peaceful, and is also known to have everything we will be needing as well." He leaned in closer to where he was about an inch from her ear and began to speak just a little quieter, while adding a silky undertone to it. "Is that all you came to see me about?"
The last part of the interaction sent a chill down her spine. She froze for a second and blushed at the highly inappropriate question he just asked. Glen backed away from her, starting to chuckle in a childish way. "I'm sorry, Captain, but I had to. You had been staring at me for the last several minutes."
Upon coming to realization that he was laughing at her, she straightened up, and slapped him hard on the arm. "You are such a fucking asshole. I see why you can't get a woman to stay with you. Plus, I was just making sure you were still fit." She hoped he would buy it but knowing him he probably wouldn't.
He stopped laughing and added the silky and alluring tone back to his voice. "We both know you know how fit I am from that 'accident' last week. If you really want to call that an 'accident'." He smirked while lightly licking his upper lip.
With irritation settling in for stating that what happened wasn't an accident, her temperature rose. "God, you are impossible. If you weren't my best friend I would've already kicked you off this ship long ago. I'm out of here!" With that she turned around and headed straight out the door, slamming it hard behind her.
How dare he insinuate that off baseless points. Yes, she had thought he was attractive but wouldn't go there because he was her best friend. She didn't want to ruin a perfectly good friendship over stupid lustful desires. She had to do something to get her mind off the way his breath felt on her neck as he whispered that. Oh it felt so good but also so wrong. His lips so close to her neck that he could've kissed her there. Oh God, she wanted... Definitely got to find something to get her mind off of him. They couldn't get to the island fast enough.
