Delphine
From my position curled on Thaines bed I felt the ship lurch forward, we had been still for a while a blessing for my slight sea sickness that still remained. I heard Thaine enter the cabin I looked up to see him looking at me in a way that made me bristle. There was such pity in his eyes that pity sliced through me. I loathed seeing that pity in his eyes. I looked away unable to look at him any longer. I pulled a loose thread of the grey fabric that was the sheet that covered his bed. The silence spread between us, it was uncomfortable and weighed down heavily on both of us. I heard Thaine clear his throat and I looked up to see him open and close his mouth, but still he said nothing. The pity had faded from his eyes but there was still a tenderness there that confused and enraged me. I watched as he scratched his beard. Frowning thoughtfully he patted it before turning towards his bath room. I remained still in my position on his bed, as I heard a cupboard opening and closing. Then some clanking and water falling into a bowl, I frowned thinking how they had a pipe system on the ship. I moved almost silently to the doorway of his bathroom. I saw him fiddling with the basin which had a pipe just above it, I had not noticed it before but it was a tap system. There was an orient tap that seemed to be the head of a dragon the spout, I watched Thaine press a button on the side of the sink and water spurted out of the tap. I wondered how the water reached the tap and how they managed to have fresh water. But I was too tired to worry about it, I sank down to the floor and from that position I kept my eyes on Thaine as he picked up the scissors and began to trim his beard very short. Almost all of the hair was gone before he picked up an old fashioned straight razor, and I was instantly mesmerized as Thaine made one of the most mundane things, sexy as all hell. Trying to remember to stop myself from drooling I examined the way the muscles in his arm moved as he lifted his hand to his cheek and scraped the blade across. Swallowing heavily I pulled my fingers into fists when I suddenly had the urge to run my fingers over the skin that was slowly being exposed. His cheeks looked smooth and soft. I hadn't noticed before but he had a sharp jaw and strong cheekbones. Also was relieved to find that he didn't have a butt chin, I had never found them very attractive they didn't bother me but I did prefer a man without it. I smiled relieved before I saw him pause and look directly at me in the reflection of his mirror. My smile faltered and I slowly licked my lips. He looked at my confused before our gazes locked and a scorching heat passed between us, my breath hitched in my throat. I could see a war going on just below the surface of his gaze, almost as though he was trying to convince himself to not do something but the decision was a difficult one. I could have sworn I heard him growl before dropping my gaze and resumed his task. But that didn't help the electricity that charged between us, it made the room hot almost stuffy. I couldn't breathe against the tension, I had to move before it suffocated me or I did something stupid that clearly we both weren't ready for.
I moved to stand but I saw a slight movement from Thaine that made me pause, he had placed the razor down. He was done cupping the water in his hands he washed his face and once again, I was entranced as he stood again and I saw Captain Thaine in a completely different light. With his beard gone I was able to see his face completely and it dawned on me just how gorgeous my mysterious Captain was. Struggling to not let myself close the distance between us and let myself do what I wanted to him. I watched as he sighed and picked up the razor again to catch some hairs he had missed. Shaking myself I turned to leave just as the ship rocked dangerously and I stumbled about to fall hard on my ass but I felt Thaines strong arms curve around my waist. In that moment a felt instantly safe but hot searing pain spread down across my hip. I looked down through tears to see that without thinking Thaine had grabbed me with the razor still in hand and sliced the fleshy part of my hip.
He cursed and dropped the razor before dropping to his knees and pulled my shirt up. I closed my eyes unwilling to look at the blood, he brushed just above the cut and that light touch sent such sensations through me that I had to stop myself from gasping.
"Its not a deep cut but I will call Fedor to come and dress it for you," He murmured and without another word or even an apology he left, just about bolting out the door. I sank to the floor my pain fading all that remained was how delicious he looked now. I sat with my hand pressed to my hip to slow the bleeding, still waiting for Fedor to appear but minutes past, close to fifteen minutes went by before I started to wonder what had happened to Thaine. I stood slowly just as I heard one of the crew members shout and there was another low wolf whistle. Frowning I stepped out of Thaines cabin and the scene that I was faced with was so horrifyingly odd that I knew one day I would look back and retell the tail with laughter. Thaine stood with his crew members surrounding him in a wide arc. Standing in front of Thaine seemed to be a flock of Sirens, I only knew this from the pictures and the lesson Thaine had given me from his book. This siren was old and withered from age. She was swaying in front of them singing her song that grated against my ears. I resisted the urge to cringe away from the sound and cover my ears. I saw Thaine start to sway along with the Siren and slowly every man behind Thaine began to do the same stupid dance, I looked back at the siren and she shifted into a very attractive young woman that danced proactively in front of the men. I chuckled when I was close enough to the men to see their expressions, their eyes were glazed over and their mouths hung open as they started ahead. Edging closer I reached the outskirts keeping an eye on the Siren, Thaine had not told me what they did to people but I was not very keen on finding out. I heard a something thud against the wood of the ship, then another thud and another before Sirens started hoping over the side all chanting the same song and dancing the same seductive dance. A crew member with thick red hair, broke free from behind Thaine and moved to embrace the Siren closest to him. That Sirens singing got louder and more shrill it hurt my ears made them ring and burn, as she reached a crescendo before the Sirens form twisted and her jaw stretched out and looked almost as though she had dislocated it to stretch it wide enough, I heard a crack and she shuddered her hands becoming clawed and her teeth growing and stretching out becoming long and deadly. Teeth that could rip a man to shreds in seconds, the ginger man stepped closer and placed his hand on her cheek. His thumb brushed against her largest tooth, the incisor that stretched down to touch her bottom lip, it cut the flesh the blood staining her tooth. Her tongue snaked out and curled around her tooth as she tasted his blood. The ginger man didn't even flinch he merrily smiled and placed his other hand on her waist.
The Sirens lips stretched into what I could only guess to be a triumphant smile. Before she opened her mouth wide and swallowed the ginger man's arm hole, I heard the rip and tear of his skin and saw the blood run down between her lips as she swallowed and licked her lips with her purple forked tongue. He didn't react at all, his arm completely gone all the remained was the socket and a bone that jutted out from wear she had ripped away the skin. The man sighed happily and pulled her closer trying to place his lips upon her fangs. The Siren paused in her song to make a sound which I could only assume was a sadistic laugh. I watched sick to my stomach as the Sirens jaws stretched further, wide enough to fit over the ginger man's head. Now that her song had ceased the man was no longer entranced and I watched him try to jerk away but he could not move away from her, a panicked scream erupted from his throat just as her jaws closed around his head slicing it clean off his shoulders. His body fell to the floor, lifeless a pool of blood instantly forming around his body, as the Siren closed her eyes in ecstasy and chewed. I heard the cracking of his skull as it crumbled against her fangs.
Holding back the vomit that had made its way up to my throat I looked around frantically for Thaine, he had moved from the front and was making his way to a siren that had disguised herself as a blonde woman, with piercing blue eyes I had the odd feeling that I recognized the woman before it struck me that the Siren had disguised herself as a woman that looked almost identical to me. I called Thaines' name as I ran towards him but he didn't re-act, reaching him in I grabbed his arm and shook him yelling his name, he didn't even blink. His gaze was fixed on his Siren who was dancing for him. My hart ponding in my chest, so hard I felt as though it would fail any second. I raised my hand and slapped him, the sound of my hand connecting with his cheek ringing out and bouncing against the sirens song. I desperately pulled his arm and elbowed his stomach. I even kicked him hard between the legs he just coughed and tried to step closer to her. Running out of options I did the next thing that came to my mind. I pulled his hair so that his face was in line with mine and I kissed him hard.
