Pirate
They called him a pirate!
For Rouge, he was a man of the sea.
They said he was a man with hands bathed in the blood of his victims.
Rouge yarned for the oh-so-soft touch of his callous hands.
But they said he was a criminal who looted, murdered, stole, and raped.
Never had Rouge felt safer than in the embrace of his strong, muscular arms.
They claimed he was the worst pirate of all.
Rouge didn't care what other people told her about him, for she knew who he was.
That pirate was the love of her life.
