Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I do not own the Vampire Academy world and its character. This is what I would think happen if Rose somehow found her self in amongst Pirates.
RPOV
The days flew by as we sail closer to Lisbon. We ease into the harbor and the captain order the men to set the anchor.
After the captain had re-bandage my wound I had took up residence back in my room. Now I was taken a bath since the captain and Jack said that I could. I layed there in the water allowing it to relax the tight muscles in my back. I reach and grab the sponge and soap it and begun to raise my leg up into the air and washing it causing the soap to leave a white frothy film across my leg. A sudden draft whip around my damp body as I turn my head only to see the captain standing in the door way. With a shock look on his face and so many emotions running through his eyes, to just pick out one would be impossible. I slip my upper half into the water.
"What are you doing in here?" I ask hardly making any noise come out of my mouth.
He cleared his throat.' To let you know in about an hour we will be heading into town and for you to be ready Roza." he said as he look at the floor.
"OK, but I am still protesting on the dresses. We will only buy two and that is all." I said I didn't want anymore than that.
"We'll get as many as I think you will need and that is not up for argument." he said again a little sterner.
"Suit yourself captain. After all it is your money. But let me warn you the dresses I wear are not cheap by any imagination. And it will cost you a pretty penny." I said hoping this would deter him.
"Worth every penny I can assure you Roza." he said as he started to turn and leave.
"Before you leave. Do you think you could wash my back. Since my wounds have started to heal they itch." I said not really wanting him to do it. But my back did itch and I could not reach the spot, no matter how hard I tried.
"Ahem sure." he said walking further into the bathroom and kneeling behind me, I handed him the sponge and soap and then I leaned forward to allow him access to my back. He gently started scrubbing my back going easy over the newly healed wounds. Once he finish he rinse the sponge and began to rinse my back off.
"There better?" he ask I notice the huskiness in his voice which became heavy accented as the words roll off his tongue.
"Yes much. Thank you." I said twisting my head around to smile at him. I notice his eyes were dilated and dark.
"Well...then...I shall leave you to finish and be ready to leave the ship in an hour." he said as he stood up and exited the room closing the door behind him.
He may buy me dresses, but I had another sets of clothing I was going to purchase whether he like it or not.
After I finish dressing I left his shirt unlace a little more than he did when he first put it on me and walk up on to the deck. I look out across the harbor and saw the beautiful town of Lisbon. It took on an enchanted little sea village with deep rose color clay roof tile and bright white buildings. This would be the first time I had set foot into Lisbon. I had heard how beautiful the town was but never in my life would the sight I was seeing ever enter into my mind. Jack came up to me smiling.
"Are ye ready Peanut?" he asked as he led me to the side of the ship. They had a basket ready to lower me to the boat below where, Porter, Ivan, Captain and Ambrose were waiting. I look at the basket rolled my eyes grab a rope from the side and slid down into the boat. Leaving a stun looking Jack and Bailey looking down at me as they climb down to get into the boat.
"That might not be the proper way to depart from a ship when your in a dress Rose." Ivan said as he smile at me.
"Well, I'll do as I damn well please until one of you men can show me papers that you're my father or husband. Scratch husband cause even if you could produce them I would still do as I please." I said as I sat in the middle of the boat looking over the side.
Porter and Bailey row the boat to the dock, once there and tied up the men hop up unto the dock and I was about to do the same when someone reach down and grab me under my arms and lifted me up on to the dock. When I look up I saw the chocolate brown eyes of the captain.
Without saying thank you or fuck you, I started walking towards town making the men pick up their pace to catch up to me.
"Roza, you need to wait for us." he said a little irritated with my behavior.
"I can return to the ship and let you men carry on. You can take Porter and dress him, since he is about my size." I said challenging him to say one more word.
Porter look sick thinking he was going to have to try on dresses for me.
This cause me to laugh a little at him and I shook my head at him this earning my a toothless grin and a look of relief. We continue to walk towards town.
The main street into town. The pavement had decorative abstract patterns inlaid in to it. Both side of the street were lined with shops of every kind you could think of dress shops, taverns and cafes, tables out side had the shade of massive trees, with elegance fountains and small gardens every where you look.
As we turn the corner there was a group of men standing outside a tavern. When they look up to see who was approaching a tall nice looking man step in front of me.
"Hey there beautiful, would you care to come have a drink with me." he said smiling and bowing.
Before any one could do anything I step up to him and said.
"Sorry, but no thank you, I already have enough men with me. Don't you think." I turn to look at my group.
"Aye you sure do, well if you get tired of them. Come look me up darling. I can assure that with me it will only take one to met your needs." he said smiling again and bowing.
Now the captain step forward and said. "She is with me and I will warn you only once leave her alone." he said as he growled the last part.
The man step back and only nodded at the captain. We finally reach the shop that the captain had pick out for me to get my dresses. I walk in and was follow by the men. I turn and stop short.
"OH NO. You all are not coming in here with me . Not happening." I said my face flushing pink.
"You men go get the supplies and load on the boat and then come back for us." he said as the men turn to leave.
"You can go with them Comrade I don't need a chaperone. Not in here" I said.
"To bad I will see what my money is buying Roza so stop the fussing." he said as he turn me around and push me further into the store.
A very pretty woman with strawberry blond hair and blue eyes with a curvy figure came out and smiled brightly at the captain. I clinch my fist and tighten my mouth shut to keep from saying something I shouldn't.
"And what can I do for you handsome." she purred as she walk over and layed her hand on his chest.
The captain smile a bright smile. "I would like this beautiful woman here to have some dresses please. They have to be beautiful to compare to her beauty and suitable to meet the Queen of England." he said stilling smiling at her.
I was trying hard not to blow my top as the captain look at me with a confused look in his eyes noticing my redden face. I turned to look at the dresses on the rack.
"Oh I think we can find something that she would look good in. Come child." she said with a smug look on her face.
That was it. I turned towards the door and left as I walk down the main road I heard footsteps behind me as a hand grab my upper arm pulling me to a stop.
"Roza why on earth did you walk out like that?" he asked confusion on his face.
"I am not a child and I will not be treated like one by her or you." I said yanking my arm out of his grasp.
I continue to walk down the street until I saw another shop that had dresses. I walk into the shop. A man walk out from behind a curtain.
"May I help you Miss." he said as he bow. Well here at least I would get some respect.
"Yes I am looking for dresses, elegant gowns that would be acceptable to appear in front of the Queen of England." I said with my head raise as I tilted my head to the side looking at him.
"I believe we have what you need Miss, but it won't be cheap though." he said soft and low at the end.
"Price doesn't matter, lets take a look at what you have." I said as I felt the captain come up behind me.
The man went and brought his wife out and she began to show me the different dresses I chose a few and then the captain chose a lot more.
"I will also need everything that goes with each outfit undergarments, corsets, bloomers, petticoats light not to heavy and shoes etc and so forth." I said as the woman nodded and turn to go get what I had asked for. Now I had to try on all the dresses just in case they needed alter.
Five hours later and several alterations I had 27 dresses and all the frills and spills that went along with them. We had my wardrobe almost complete. I felt like a evil child I saw a blood red corset and black tight pants. I told the lady to bring me the corset and black pants the knee boats and the hat along with the long tail hip jacket with the gold braid work on front and double row of gold buttons on each side, she gave me a startle look but nodded and went and gather what I ask for.
"Are you about done Roza?" the captain asked he voice sounded bored.
"Yes Comrade one more outfit and I should be done." I said smiling to myself, you won't be bored here shortly.
I put the clothes on the corset was the latest fashion so it lace up in front as I finish putting the jacket on and position the hat I look like a pirate sea goddess at least to me I did. I told the lady I wanted the pants in every color she had with contrasting corsets and boots and so forth as she went to get them.
"Are you ready Comrade?" I asked him waiting for his reply.
"Yes Roza I am ready and so is the crew." he said.
I pulled the curtain back and there was all the men that rowed us to the dock along with the captain. They were all taking a drink of tea. When they all look up at me the captain chock on his tea and the rest of the men spit there tea out in their cups, chocking. As his eyes went wide while he was trying to breath normally again.
"Well what ya think. Do you like it?" I asked with the evil glint in my eyes as I look at the captains face it was totally worth the little blush I had going since that the rest of the men were there. His eyes study my body from my face to my boots and back up each time his eyes stop at my breast and his eyes darken and he shake his head as if to dislodge what he was thinking.
"My God woman you look wonderful." Ambrose said walking up to me and then around behind me and then back in front.
"Peanut! Close your coat." Jack bellow out, his face turning red.
Ivan was wide eye and a huge smile on his face. "Leave her be. She is gorgeous, a thing of beauty to be admire." Ivan said earning a stern glare from the captain.
I turn to the lady and went to the back of the store and pick out half dozen each of lotion and nice smelling soaps along with several perfume and then I pick out a few necklaces and earrings that would go with the dresses.
"I think that will do it. Did you put what I ask you in there to?" I asked her.
"Yes Miss I did. They are in there a total of eight outfits of the pants in every color we had along with contrasting corsets and such. You know you are going to start a new fashion wearing that out." she said blushing slightly causing me to laugh.
"Well if I do I will tell people I bought them here." I said winking at her.
I reach into my old pants pocket and brought out my money and paid for my clothes. This causing the captain to protest and growled.
"My clothes my money this way I don't feel beholden to you." I said frowning at him.
The men grab the packages and started for the door. I was thankful we had so many men cause it took them all to carry all the packages, and even then they were loaded down.
"Are you going out looking like that?" the captain asked looking me up and down for the hundredth time, bringing a small smile to my face.
"Yes...it looks a lot better than what I walk in here wearing." I turn causing my hair to flare out behind me and I step out on to the street causing a lot of people to come to a complete stop and stare.
The captain caught up to me and took my arm and intertwined it into his as we made our way back to the boat.
Captains POV
I was sitting waiting on Roza to try on the dresses the lady brought to her. Still confused way she walk out of the other dress shop. The lady was really friendly, when I caught up to Roza she saying something about she wasn't a child. Hell any man in his right mind could see that. She confuse me so badly and this made frustrated me beyond belief.
Each time Roza came out the gown she was wearing was beautiful. What am I saying she could wear a flour sack and be beautiful. The crew finally located us and were waiting for Roza to try on one more outfit. The gentleman of the store brought us all out some tea while we waited. She asked if I was ready I was ready four hours ago.
As the curtain slowly open and I saw her standing in a blood red corset with the tightest black pants I had ever saw I chock on my tea and my manhood was stiff in an instant. I was trying to catch my breath but every time I saw her I would lose it again. Then Ambrose walk around her like he was checking out a cow for slaughterings. And then Ivan's comment I could of killed them both. Calico was the only one who had any sense about him.
Then she wouldn't let me pay for a thing. That really grated on my nerves. At least I was able to pick out several necklaces and a ring set before she was done with her dress trying on,
She started towards the door and I asked her if she was going to wear that outside and her nonchalant reply it was better than what she wore in. Yes it was, but this outfit was going to get someone hurt or killed.
I walk up to her and laced her arm with mine in hopes of deterring anybody attempts to claim her or any comments. As we drew closer to the docks was the worst as the sailors cat whistles and howls filled the air. I took a peak at her and she had a sly smile gracing her face. She was enjoying this a little to much. I turn to look at Ivan and found his eyes on her ass as he look up to catch me watching him he just smile brighter. I gave him a back the fuck off look and turn back to watch where I was going.
We reach the boat I hop down into it and reach up for her and this time she allowed me to help her down as I did my hands went up under her jacket and my thumbs brush the side of her breast my voice without my consent moan, causing her to giggle. This was going to be a long trip is all I can say.
We made it back to the ship and when I look around the whole crew was staring at Roza with wide eyes and shock on their faces. They sent the basket down and we loaded Roza's packages into it and the men haul it up.
Roza grab the rope and started her climb. With every movement of her leg stretch the pants tighten across her ass, my manhood grew hard and tighter to as I watch her every movement. I was going to need a cold bath along with every crew member on board.
"Cap'tin, I pity the fool who marries her. He is going to be tormented and tease beyond belief. But I will also be jealous of him at the same time." Ivan said as he patted me on the back.
"Aye, she will be the death of a weak man that is for sure." I said in a whisper as she finally made it over the side and onto the deck. And I let out a breath now being able to breath. We all climb up and unto the deck to find the crew circle around her paying her every compliment a man could. All agreeing that she made a better woman than a boy, causing her to laugh at them, her laughter sounding like heaven upon my ears I hope I could hear her laughter forever.
We all carried her packages to her cabin and left so she could hang them up.
We were going to stay in the harbor for two days to give the men some time to rest. I had the men remove all ropes from the side to keep anybody from climbing on board the ship uninvited.
Review and let me know what you think. Debbie
