His rugged body had been designed for strength, and rough work. Feeling Levi be so gentle with me tugged at my heartstrings yet again. I realized without embarrassment that my hips were rocking up to his, openly begging him to take me.
“So beautiful, my love,” he whispered, reaching down to press the thick tip of his length in place.
My hands explored the contours of the back of his arms as I felt my body opening for his. Heat blossomed through me from the inside, as every touch seemed to make my skin burn for him.
His perfect lips never stopped kissing me, yet I felt his teeth almost grit together as he slowly pressed inside.
All of my senses were overloaded as I breathed him in. I moaned first rom the feeling of my tight nipples grazing his chest, then again from where his hand slipped into the back of my hair so delicately.
Ever so slowly, his thickness sank deeper, and he began taking tentative strokes. My body was opening, molding to his.
I’d never felt so small and tight before, and didn’t understand why it felt so good to be stretched open this way. It was fiery and strange, a totally overwhelming feeling.
My curiosity momentarily turned to pain as he plunged deeper, my snug tunnel stretched open by the pressure of his thickness. The sharp pinch made me gasp, as Levi peppered my face with kisses.
“Remember, it’s just for a moment, my love,” he murmured against my cheek.
His fingers slipped down to grab my waist, angling me so that he could plunge deeper. Once my body had adjusted, the pain disappeared entirely, replaced by a strange and wonderful sensation of fullness.
It was shocking how slippery my sex felt as I became more drenched, his thickness teasing the juices out.
As he sank deeper, Levi groaned raggedly. “My love, I’ve never known such heaven.”
It felt like my wet flesh was clenching around him, quivering with need. His teeth raked along my throat as I trembled. Slowly my body adjusted a bit more, welcoming his slow, steady pace.
“How do you feel, my darling?” he rasped.
“Wild,” I burst out, surprising myself. “And free. And…good.”
“That’s my girl,” he smiled, biting gently along my neck until I squirmed frantically.
The deep ache in my center was growing stronger, like a storm about to unleash its power any second. His powerful thighs flexed, driving steadily harder, faster.
I noticed a drop of sweat on his brow, and realized with delight that I was the one making him lose control.
Then I realized something else entirely. I was trapped. Pinned under his bulk. Completely at the mercy of a man twice my size, who was overpowering me in every way.
My vision swam from side to side as I reveled in how much I loved it. It was awe-inspiring to feel this much of anything at once.
It felt like our hearts were hammering back and forth against each other, as my legs wrapped around the backs of his, opening me even wider.
“You feel like silk inside, my love,” Levi choked through his clenched back teeth.
I wouldn’t have thought it was possible for his hard shaft to swell any further, yet unbelievably it did. My hips wouldn’t stop bucking up against him as my thighs squeezed around his hips.
My left hand slipped up to grip the back of his hair, as the other sank down, exploring his taut backside. His entire body was so perfectly flush with mine. A low rumbling growl in his throat shook both of us as I felt his raw hunger.
The fire in his eyes spoke of so much more. Possession as he claimed me completely. Love that bordered on obsession. That I knew would grow every day, and every night.
Dizzy with pleasure, I moaned brokenly as his thumb moved between us, feathering over my swollen button.
“Yes,” the word bubbled out of me unbidden. “I love you, Levi…more…”
His pulsing length ground deeper, faster, as I felt both of us about to tip over the edge.
“Maggie, my love,” he rasped, “I can’t believe how perfect you feel around me. Let me hear you, my angel.”
There was no way I could restrain myself for all the gold in the world. A deep, powerful force had overtaken me and was about to be set free.
His shaft sank impossibly deeper, the pleasure overwhelming me as his thumb fluttered faster. “Yes,” I squealed against his lips as he kissed me again.
The tension finally snapped, as I felt like I was falling. Flames licked up my spine as I shook under him, screaming my release.
It felt as if Levi had been holding himself back for some time, and was waiting for my cue before giving in to his own pleasure.
His entire body turned to stone as he ground into me fast and rough, overpowering me in a way that sent lightning and thunder through my veins.
“Maggie, angel,” he growled, kissing me so hard my lips might bruise.
Each frantic plunge inside me sent another crest of sparks through both of us. Then I felt him shudder, as his hot seed filled me with both sensation and satisfaction.
Levi collapsed on top of me, both of us still panting and moaning, reveling in the unbelievable closeness.
Then he quickly rolled to the side, his eyes huge and remorseful. “My darling, I’m so sorry. Did I confine you too much?”
I shook my head, laughter bubbling out of me along with relief. “Not at all.”
His dramatic sigh made me laugh even more. “You’ll tell me if I ever cage you in too closely?”
“Yes, I will.” I paused, then forced myself to whisper, “In fact, I think I liked that part.”
His dark eyes shone as he grinned. “I’ll be sure to remember that.”
My hand grazed his cheek, as he caught my thumb between his teeth. “I love you,” I said simply.
His eyes blazed. “I love you, wife.”
He slipped the covers over us, pulling my back to his chest as if we were two spoons in the silverware case. His lips nuzzled my ear as he whispered, “You know I would never take a girl from her home deliberately. But this has been the best accident that has ever happened to me.”
“Me too.” I turned to kiss him again. “If we have this much excitement in our first month together, imagine what the future will hold.”
“No,” he chuckled, as his arms tightened around my stomach, “Let’s be perfectly boring for a little while.”
“Mmm. Fine.”
Although I knew there was no chance of that happening, it was a nice thought for the moment.
With an uncharted love like ours, I knew we were sure to end up wherever the winds took us.

* We’re Pirates, Remember? *
*** Five Years Later ***
It was always grand to be back in Tegarren Point. After so many years at sea, it was always wonderful to come back home every week or two. I couldn’t stand being away from Maggie long, but it was too difficult to travel far with a toddler on board, not to mention unsafe.
As we approached the dock, Willy recognized a sloop about the same size as ours, flying a dark flag showing the north star and a couple of waves.
“The Fortune’s Favor is here,” Willy hollered to the crew. Over the years, we had become great friends with our fellow pirates turned traders.
As the Midnight Treasure docked, I saw my Maggie hugging her close friend Flora goodbye. I jumped onto the pier as soon as the plank dropped, striding over to shake Captain Samuels’ hand.
“How are you, you old goat?” Samuels chuckled.
“Wonderful as always,” I said. “Just coming back from a run to Parrinport.”
I noticed that Samuels shot his wife a sideways glance. “Perhaps someday we’ll be going back there ourselves.”
Flora rolled her eyes. “If someone behaves himself this time.”
Then she smiled at me. “How are you, Levi?”
“Wonderful, thank you.” I shook her hand gently, then leaned to the side to peek at the toddler hiding behind her skirts.
“My goodness, I wish l
ittle Artie was here,” I said to Flora with a wink. “He would find out that I have a sweet in my pocket for him.”
A tumble of thick curls appeared, as the tiny tot darted out to examine my pocket, pulling out a treat, then dashing behind his mother’s skirts again.
“How is his little brother or sister coming along?” I asked, nodding to where her hands rested protectively on her rounded belly.
“Very well. This one kicks a lot less, so I’m hoping it’s a girl,” she laughed lightly.
Maggie smiled sweetly. “You know that if you ever feel unwell when you’re traveling, you’re more than welcome to come stay with us as long as you like. Artie and Henry are professional mud pie builders by now.”
“Thank you,” Flora smiled, giving Maggie’s hand a squeeze.
“I’m sorry that we all but missed you,” Samuels said, “but we need to set sail.”
“Well, come back soon,” I said. “We’re going to be here in port for at least a week, I think.”
“Safe travels,” Maggie added, as the crew of the Fortune’s Favor all waved down to us from the deck.
I noticed that Maggie gave Willy a pointed look, as she took my arm and turned away from the Midnight Treasure .
“Something to tell me?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said with a mischievous twinkle in her eye. “Henry is staying with his grand-aunt Clementine tonight, and your crew are staying aboard your ship.”
“You have a special night planned for us?” I smiled down at her as we walked quickly toward our home.
Just six months after we were wed, the house next to Clementine’s had been put up for sale. We bought it in an instant, combining the back gardens and creating a little piece of heaven for ourselves and the crew.
Now that our son Henry was three, he was always underfoot trying to help, so we didn’t trust him on the ship for more than an afternoon jaunt.
“It’s our five year anniversary,” Maggie said, as we walked into the house. “I thought that we should have some time alone.”
“I couldn’t agree more,” I said, locking the door behind us. Even though I’d only been away for two days this time, I always missed Maggie terribly.
She laced her fingers with mine, leading me up the stairs to our bedroom. As the sun was just going down, there was really no need for the candle lit beside the bed, but it certainly sent the message of exactly what she had in mind.
I pulled her into my arms, kissing her gently, then harder as her hands wrapped around my neck. “How much did you miss me, my darling girl?”
“You know I always miss you terribly,” she murmured against my lips.
Even though we’d become very comfortable together, the moment we were alone, the sparks between us stirred up again instantly, like stoking a fire that burned brighter every time.
Although I never wanted our kiss to end, I needed to get my beautiful wife naked as quickly as possible.
Whenever we were together, whether in our house, on the ship, or even in Clementine’s home, we usually managed to sneak away several times a day. Living without Maggie’s touch for even two full days was almost unbearable.
Spinning her around, I unfastened the back of her dress, nearly tearing off a button in my haste.
She helped me remove her slip, then her knickers, so that I could admire her soft, smooth skin in the warm light. Her mouth found mine again, as our slow, deep kiss sent tremors through both of us.
“Every single inch of you is so beautiful,” I murmured, picking her up then lying her across the bed.
“Then why aren’t you here with me?” she teased.
I ran a hand through my unruly hair as she spread those glorious thighs. It only took half a moment for my boots to be flung under the bed, and my clothing to hit the floor.
Kneeling, I yanked her to the edge of the bed, throwing her legs over my shoulders as I spread her wide.
That soft moan as I dragged my tongue through the valley of her sweetest flesh was the reason I always raced to come home.
I tried to wait patiently as her body got ready for me, her juices flowing freely as I lapped up every drop. Sliding my middle finger into her snug entrance, the sound of her wetness was the only noise other than her halting breath.
Her fingers gripped my hair, pulling my tongue to her little swollen button, even though I already knew exactly what she wanted.
“Levi,” she rasped, as her head fell back, “More.”
“Yes, my lady,” I murmured, increasing my pace as I felt her tight channel milking my fingers.
Her trembling and moaning were so beautiful, and I always loved watching my darling proper girl become more like a wild animal.
Licking faster, harder, I eagerly awaited one of my favorite moments. That split second where Maggie’s entire body froze for a heartbeat, tensing like a twig about to snap.
Her ragged breathing stopped entirely, then her wail circled the room around us as she released against me, twitching and shaking as she cried out my name over and over.
Once she stopped quivering, I stood up, my shaft hard as bone. I pulled her back to the center of the bed, lying over her with my weight on my forearms.
I knew that my darling couldn’t stand being confined in any enclosed space – except this one. She loved when I overpowered her, and caged her in.
Strangely, this confinement always excited her beyond belief, as if it cranked her lust to the limit, making her half-crazed.
My hand slipped into the back of her hair, gripping snugly to hold her in place. Reaching down, I dragged the thick tip of my length up and down through her wet crease.
“Is this what you need, my love?”
“Don’t tease me,” she murmured, gliding her fingertips along the back of my neck.
As I stroked through her folds, I began to dip inside just enough to watch her eyes widen. Finally I couldn’t stand teasing both of us any longer. Slowly pressing down, I listened for her delicate choked cries as I seated myself completely inside her.
“Levi,” she panted, “I missed you.”
“I missed you too, darling,” I breathed, kissing along her cheeks as my hips began to drive my length all the way in and out of her soft heaven.
Her warm breath was already ragged as I teased her nipples, rolling them between my thick fingers.
Locking my eyes with hers, I could tell she was feeling extra mischievous today. I always wanted to give my darling wife precisely what she needed, and tried to pick up on every clue she gave me.
“Tell me, my beautiful angel, do you want–”
“Yes. Please.”
With a chuckle, I pulled my nearly dripping length out, flipping her roughly so that she was on her hands and knees. I crossed her hands across her stomach, tucking them under as she curled into a tiny ball.
Her drenched tunnel was even tighter as I worked myself back inside. Pressing her legs together, my body almost completely covered hers as I began gently rocking.
How strange that something that had once scared her to pieces now made her feel naughty and wicked.
“Is this what you needed, my darling?” I growled into her ear. “Your nasty pirate husband to take you completely?”
“Please…” She panted, “yes.”
I pulled my length out completely, then shoved straight back in, a bit harder every time until she was loudly moaning in bliss.
It felt like the entire world had shrunk to the size of this bed. Nothing else existed but my beautiful woman and how much she needed me to plow into her faster.
Her sexual appetite was astounding, and as we grew to know each other completely, we learned every last trick to draw every drop of pleasure from the other.
“You’re so soft, my darling,” I breathed at her ear, just as I had when we were locked in the cupboard years ago. “So warm and wet against me. So ready for every touch. My sweet girl loves it when I control her body, doesn’t she?”
“Yes,” she choked. “More.”
“Kiss me, now,” I commanded gruffly, as her glazed eyes spun around to meet mine.
Still holding her in a tight ball, I kissed her as we both floated higher and higher, adrift on the incredible sensations.
