Rose's POV

What are you doing? You coward. Cami is trying to make amends and you hide in the corner pretending to sip water? Was she right about you? You know they are looking at you and you can't even raise your gaze to meet them. Coward.

I raised my gaze an inch, defying the other person in my head. She had first appeared after Cami … did what she did.

You think I'm the one who appeared after we got blamed for sinking the ship? You're the impostor, meekly shuffling around in the head of a once proud and powerful captain! Do you seriously think that you would have had the grit to sail ahead to take a pirate ship alone?

She only really shows up when I see Cami or the other girls talk about … the incident. She often plays mind games with me. I looked Misti over to see some hint of her scar. It was physical evidence of my failure, proof that she was wrong, that I deserved all that happened to me. Proof that I … was me.

I'm playing mind games? You're the one talking about me like I don't exist. Cami is as much to blame for her scar as we are? She could have sailed faster and helped us but she didn't. Instead she pins the blame on you and now they all hate you, you can see it in their eyes.

I looked up from the water pitcher, ready to absorb the nasty looks and death glares from the other girls. I saw nothing but the backs of heads. No one was looking at me, not even Cami. What? You're not going to chime in and tell me it's because they have all given up on me? That they don't care enough about me to hate me anymore?

She was gone … for now at least.

Gustav's POV

Quite a few of the girls were requesting that Dinara, Misti, and Yana's hands be freed. Dinara ended up with four girls she was responsible for pleasing at a time. Misti just used her hands to increase the through rate of girls that settled down atop her. Yana used her new found freedom to turn the tables, flipping a girl over and smashing her hips down into her.

I just spooned Cami as we disinterestedly watched the girl under Yana moan and scream as Yana continued to mercelously ravage her. Only when some other girls got impatient and pulled her out from under Yana, so one of them could take her place, did she finally get to enjoy her afterglow on the floor.

"Is he ready to go again?" Rose asked, getting back into bed.

"Yeah might as well get started. I'll get out of your way." Cami said, while sighing dejectedly.

"Actually … if last time is anything to go on … I may … need your help … again." Rose stated.

"You may have to fake it. I don't think I can pull that off two times in a row." I whispered to Cami.

"Okay … do … do you want to go first or …" Cami offered.

"Well I went first last time so … maybe … maybe you should ..." Rose stammered.

"Well it's not like we … uh won't get … whoa!" Cami stammered, caught in a courtesy loop with Rose. I was getting annoyed so I felt I should choose who goes first. I pinned Cami against the headboard and pulled her pants down to her ankles. I laid down on my back as I threaded my legs in between Rose's thighs. I did the same for my head between Cami's thighs.

When Rose had settled on my lap I thrust up into her to get her to lean forward. I slid my hands from Cami's hips to her lower back to get her to bend forward. The two of them awkwardly began to embrace each other for support.

I made sure to move my hips faster than my tongue. I could tell Cami and Rose were getting more experienced. It took a while before Rose muffled her own scream into Cami's neck. I rolled her to the side and laid her on her back next to the girl Yana was smashing into.

I pulled Cami off the headboard. There wasn't enough room on the bed for both Rose and Cami to lay on their backs so I flipped Cami over on her side. Her legs, bound together by her half removed pants, I draped over Rose's waist. Having Cami in a receptive position, and Rose conveniently trapped, I placed myself below Cami's thighs and got to work.

I was hoping that Cami remembered that she was supposed to fake it but it seems she forgot. I locked eyes with Yana who had been working on her own girl the whole time I had been with Cami and Rose. Her eyes narrowed as she did not like to be outshined. As a plan B, I slipped a hand between her pressed thighs as I continued outshining Yana in pace and technique. Despite my talent, both Cami and the girl under Yana formed a duet of moans right into Rose's ears.

I pulled Cami's pants up as I backed off the edge of the bed to find the girl they were warming me up for.

"Who's next?" I posed into the crowd of mostly naked girls. To my surprise they all pointed past me to the girl that was being pulled out from under Yana. As soon as Zilya had deposited the jelly-legged, dizzy girl in my arms she was the next to slide between Yana and the soaked bed sheets, face down this time.

"Okay, who wants to be my assistant?" I asked. Before I had completely finished the sentence multiple girls clambered forward, presenting themselves to me. I took a chair at the table and sat the thoroughly satisfied girl up on the table. She sat there with her eyes closed and her head swaying positioned just right so that she could envelop me at a moment's notice.

"I need one of you to get under the table." I said to my eager assistants some of the girls looked disappointed and shuffled away. However, I could feel at least two tongues on me as I balanced the girl on top of the table.

With the girls clumsy and inexperienced attempts to please me it took some time before I was ready. As they gained more experience I got closer. I abruptly cut them off as I brought the girl down off the table. I moved her up and down a few times before letting her blanket me after I had given all I had to give.

"Why don't you take the bed. We'll take the table." Cami suggested. I looked up and saw Cami and Rose together with big smiles on their faces.

"Do you want a big piece or a little piece?" Cami said as she offered Rose a slice of the pie I had earned. I carried the girl with me to the bed. I laid her down just as Zilya was succumbing to Yana's pelvic motions.

I knew she could do it.

Cami's POV

Wait, who pulled my pants back up? I opened my eyes to see Rose still panting next to me. Gustav got me a second chance … but for how long. I opened my mouth but words would not come out.

"What? Did you say something? Both my ears just got screamed into so I couldn't hear you." Rose stated.

"I just … um wanted to say … that I … I want things to go back to how they were. I … I regret what happened and I ..." I stuttered out. Rose had her arms wrapped tightly around me before I could finish. She was sobbing into my neck.

"I'm sorry." I finished, some moisture inexplicably escaping my eyes.

"I … I'm … sor … sorry … too." Rose blustered between sobs. It was perhaps the most inappropriate setting for a reconciliation, amidst the moans and wet slapping sounds of the other girls making use of my prisoners.

As Rose began to compose herself I pulled myself away to look into her wet eyes. We had been avoiding each other for so long that it was cathartic to intimately gaze into her eyes. And for the same reason when she leant forward and pressed her lips against mine, it felt really good to reach around the back of her head and lock her into our embrace.

"Wow! You never used to kiss like that." Rose commented.

"Well, I've gotten some practice recently." I replied, looking over to Gustav. I saw him lifting a girl up and down on his lap until he shuttered into her and fell limp in the chair.

"So I've heard." Rose replied.

"Oh, you've heard something have you? Well, tell me what the gossips say?" I asked.

"Everyone has a different theory. I'd love to hear the truth." Rose asked.

"I'll tell you but first you have got to answer one of my questions?" I demanded. Rose got a serious look on her face as she visibly gulped.

"What?" Rose cautiously asked.

"Do you want some pie?" I asked, trying to keep a serious face.

"I'd love some pie." Rose declared with a big smile, following me out of bed.
