Owned by Pirates

Selling one’s daughter isn’t as rare as you’d think. But to the Captain of a pirate ship? It’s the best thing that has ever happened to a sheltered young lady who quickly discovers she has a taste for adventure.
Captain Samuels:
We were pirates. Er, traders. Yet even we were repulsed by women being sold like chattel.
But I couldn’t stand by while her father sold her, treating her as if she were worthless.
She was a sweet, hard working girl.
Her delicate blue eyes called to me even more than the sea itself.
The only thing I wanted now was to keep her safe. In my arms. In my bed.
My biggest fear was that I might hurt the tiny lass. I could never let that happen.
Flora:
A complete stranger asked me what I wanted. I’d never been asked that question before.
The Captain was the first man to ask me to speak my mind.
I made my choice – to sail away for a life of adventure rather than stay under my father’s thumb.
The world was bigger out on the open sea.
The colors were brighter.
The feelings were… Strangely deep and powerful.
I just couldn’t tell if the Captain felt the same.
He was so kind to me, treating me as if I were precious.
Every time he touched me, I wanted to feel like I was his to enjoy.
As my life finally became my own, I began to make my own rules.
I'd learn to speak up for what I need.
