Nearby crew laughed. Tiana shrugged, and continued into her cabin with Qinny. The witch giggled and winked at Alex. Yeah, they were going to start without him. He turned angry eyes on Nakato. The first mate looked rather too smug.
Son of a bitch cock blocked me!
“I’ll take the first watch,” Nicanor called, striding across the dark main deck.
“You will?” Nakato asked, looking just as surprised as Alex.
“Yes.” He scowled and grimaced. “Helene’s angry with me. So there’s no joy there.” He gave Alex an unhappy look. “Go have your fun. I have the watch.”
Alex looked at Nakato. The first mate looked uncertain, but then shrugged. “If he takes your watch, Alex, then you have to take his.”
Nicanor had the last watch of the night, so either way Alex didn’t get a full night sleep. But this way he’d at least enjoy a threesome with Tiana and Qinny.
“I’m good with that,” Alex said, and it was done. He headed for the cabin. The door remained unlocked, so he entered to find Tiana and Qinny already naked and in bed. “Nicanor switched watch shifts with me.”
A single oil lantern lit the cabin, turned down low in the corner. It gave off a dim orangish light as it swayed, making the shadows dance. Tiana rose up on her knees, legs wide, and bit her lip. She straddled Qinny’s narrow waist, and the witch grinned mischievously at him, her face upside down.
Alex dropped his sword belt to clatter on the floor as he hurried toward the bed. Their faces turned all sultry, and Tiana’s lips parted, her head tilted to the side. Alex mirrored her, moving up next to the bed to kiss her. He wrapped his arms around her as their lips met, and they moaned in pleasure.
Qinny, not to be outdone, unfastened Alex’s pants, pulled out his cock, and wrapped her lips around its crown. He’d never taken a woman like that prior to his arrival on Elysia, but both Helene and Tiana had sucked him off upside down during their threesome. It seemed to be something the women of that world enjoyed. Or was it just wild, uninhibited pirate women?
Alex thrust deeper and deeper into Qinny’s eager mouth, while the witch dragged long nails across his naked buttocks. Tiana dragged her nails across his back when he started kissing his way down her neck, and to her breasts. Alex lost himself in Tiana’s large, firm boobs and Qinny’s talented mouth for the longest time.
Qinny moaned and groaned around his dick when he finally pushed down into her throat. Alex paused to look down, noticing how his erection stretched out her windpipe as it thrust in and out. His nutsack slapped the beautiful witch across the eyes and nose, while her back bowed up and her nipples got rock hard and erect. Yeah, she really liked it.
Seeing her arousal proved too much. Alex felt that rush to climax, and then his core erupted. Hot, tingling pleasure flowed down to his knees and up to fill his chest. Climactic joy pulsed throughout, inspiring him to come five times in her mouth and throat.
Tiana pushed him back a step and out of Qinny’s mouth. “Share.”
The two women locked lips, their hands combing through each other’s hair, as they moaned and groaned. He saw first Qinny, and then Tiana swallow several times.
Alex stumbled back to his sword belt. He found his purse, and dug out the enchanted cock ring. That ring was going to earn its keep that night. He slipped it on, snugging it in good around his base, before tapping it three times and saying the magic activation word.
He found himself rock hard and ready to go in a dozen heartbeats.
Tiana remained on top of Qinny. They were totally lost within each others’ lips. Tits pressed together, hot sweat-shiny bodies writhing against each other. Alex sighed, thinking he could watch that forever, but his magically energized dick wanted a piece of the action.
Alex crawled up on the bed behind Tiana. He stared at their exposed pussies a long moment. Tiana had straddled the witch’s left thigh, her red patch grinding against Qinny’s black pubic patch. His eyes turned to the redhead’s puckered anus. Yeah, Tiana liked it rough, but that tight, wet pussy called to him.
Pressing up close, Alex nestled his erection into Tiana’s slick folds. She continued grinding into Qinny, so he grabbed a fistful of silky flame-red hair, yanked her head back, and thrust hard.
“Uggh!” Tiana cried.
The sexy pirate captain froze, eyes huge. Alex thrust in hard and fast, forcing himself deeper and deeper. Qinny scooted down to attack her dangling tits with lips, tongue, and nibbling teeth. Tiana moaned and groaned wantonly, her hands clutching the sheets to either side of the witch’s head.
“Faster!” she cried. “Ooooh, yes.”
Alex’s hips slapped loudly, wetly into the pirate beauty’s butt cheeks. His left hand rose up, and then came down to slap Tiana’s left butt cheek.
Thwack! Thwack!
He spanked that jiggling butt as he thrust like crazy, and quickly pushed Tiana over the top. She screamed and bucked, but he and Qinny held her in place as they continued their erotic efforts. They forced her to come twice before the captain’s limbs gave out and she went completely limp.
Alex continued to thrust into her, almost there. He already had his eye on Qinny’s pussy. The cock ring’s magic cut his refractory time to around ten seconds, and he’d be ready to go at the busty witch doctor’s body.
Threesomes are the best!
A loud BOOM reverberated through the ship, jostling them all out of bed. And then another: BOOM!
“Attack!” Tiana cried. “We’re being boarded!”
Neither Tiana nor Qinny hesitated. They raced to the weapons’ racks, grabbed swords, and charged out onto the main deck. Buck ass naked. Alex gawked after them, but paused to pull on his pants. He grabbed his sword and charged out on deck after them, only to find three other ships in the water around and pressed up to Wraith.
Looking up, his eyes locked with Nicanor’s. The other pirate glared down daggers.
He betrayed us?
Armed men from the other three ships had already swarmed onto Wraith. Tiana, Qinny, and Nakato were the only crew on deck fighting them, so Alex jumped into the fray. He stabbed one sailor in the throat, before chopping off another’s left arm above the elbow. Kick, spin, slash, and then he advanced to engage another half-orc looking monster of a man. They traded blows, steel crashing loudly. He heard Qinny squeal in rage, and then go silent. So he ducked under his foes’ attempt to decapitate, and stabbed him in the groin.
Big bad half-orc screamed like a little girl, before falling back and away. Alex just had time to look back and see three invaders drag Tiana down, and then noticed Qinny trussed up and unconscious over by the starboard side. Nakato was fighting off five foes, when a sixth snuck up behind him and slammed a club down on the first mate’s head.
Out cold.
And that left Alex alone on deck. From the sounds below deck, the other sailors had taken them all by surprise. He was the last man standing. And it looked like a hundred armed men glared murderously back at him.
A half-goblin pushed through the crowd, a sling spinning in his hand. He loosed on Alex, striking the big barbarian in the chest. Hot ropes immediately wrapped around Alex, which he initially thought were poisonous snakes. The ropes forced his arms down to his sides and held him tightly.
“Captain Bakku!” the goblin shouted. “Wraith is ours!”
Alex looked over his shoulder to find a seven foot tall orc with a battle axe jumping over to Wraith’s main deck. His pale gray skin was covered with black and blue tattoos, ritual scaring, and lots of battle scars. Captain Bakku was dressed much like Alex, only in black leather pants. He came over shirtless and barefooted. The only hair Alex saw was a mohawk that ran all the way down his spine.
He stomped over to Tiana, still struggling between two men. She froze when he stopped before her. The redhead looked up into his victorious face and swallowed hard.
“Hello, Bakku. You look good.”
“No thanks to your treachery, bitch,” he snarled. The orc grabbed a fistful of red hair,
and jerked Tiana to her feet. “You betrayed me and stole my ship. Now you will serve as my cabin slut, until I tire of you and sell you to a dockside brothel.”
She just stood there, head forced painfully back, and stared up incredulously. Tiana had never shown fear before. Alex knew then that Bakku was someone to be feared.
“Goat!” he growled, looking at the half-goblin witch. “Keep the ships lashed together and lift up about five hundred feet. Let the trades push us out to sea while we celebrate our victory.” Bakku looked around. “Keep the women and witches, but once far enough out to sea I want all the men tossed overboard.”
Chapter 26
It only took the victorious pirates a few minutes to free Wraith of her moorings, and lift all four ships up out of the lagoon together. They rose quickly. The wind pushed them back over land at first, but then they hit winds blowing out to sea. None of the sails were unfurled on any of the ships, so the wind couldn’t push them too fast, but it did push them as they slowly rose higher and higher. Alex wondered how far at sea they’d travel before tossing him and the rest of Wraith’s male crew.
“Problems, friend Alex?” Nicanor taunted as he approached.
“You traitor!” Alex snarled.
“Traitor!” Tiana cried, trying to throw herself at Nicanor.
Captain Bakku yanked her back by her hair, seized her left wrist, and twisted up behind her back. Tiana winced, and then Nicanor lashed out with a foot to her belly.
“No. You’re the traitor, Tiana. I stayed loyal to Wraith’s true captain, Bakku,” Nicanor said. “And now, thanks to my help, Captain Bakku commands four pirate ships. He’ll go down in history as the greatest pirate captain of all time.”
“Yes!” Bakku cried, and claimed Tiana’s lips in a crushing victory kiss.
Alex struggled against his bindings. The damned enchanted ropes had bound his arms tightly to his body, not giving an inch. Nicanor grinned at him, until the invaders started forcing Wraith’s crew from below up on deck.
Helene’s limp, naked body was carried up over the shoulder of a Nagu pirate. She was bound exactly like Qinny: gagged, wrists tied behind her back, and ankles bound together. Another pirate followed them up, with the ship’s other female lift witch, Samara, also unconscious, naked, and bound exactly like Helene. A few minutes later Wraith’s Junior Lift Witch, Benarus, was brought up unconscious and bound the same way. Was it because they were witches? They only gagged the ship’s witches.
The three lift witches were dumped next to Qinny. All of the witches together. Of them, only Benarus wasn’t stripped naked. Did the pirates strip the women? Or were they sleeping naked? Either way, Alex felt his hackles rise.
Nicanor grinned at Alex. “Now it’s time for me to claim my reward. Helene.”
“I don’t think so, you craven traitor,” Alex said, glaring daggers. “She’ll have nothing to do with a piece of filth like you now.”
“You’re wrong,” Nicanor said. “She’ll be my slave, so Helene will have no choice but to obey me in everything.”
Alex stared at him. How could a man enslave a woman he loved?
A pair of Bakku’s pirates grabbed Alex and dragged him kicking and struggling over next to the witches. Nicanor followed, directing them to that spot.
“I want your little lover girls all right here with us to watch me push you over the side,” Nicanor sneered. “I want them to watch me kill you.”
The half-goblin came up to stare down at the unconscious witches. Nicanor became subdued, casting unhappy side-glances at Goat. Alex didn’t like it when the half-goblin began a very intimate examination of both Helene’s and Qinny’s bodies.
When Goat examined Qinny, the witch doctor groaned and writhed. Her eyes popped open. Alex locked eyes with her, seeing the desperation she felt. Then he noticed one of her tattoos wiggled, and the bindings around her wrists and ankles started moving. Panic slammed into him, and he looked at Goat. The half-goblin was too consumed by her breasts to notice the slowly unraveling ropes.
Alex started to shout something to offend and anger the pirate, but Goat turned to Helene. His left hand grabbed a boob, and the other went between her legs. Helene and Alex both grunted when one of Goat’s fingers curled and penetrated her nether regions. Nicanor’s hand went to his hilt.
“Keep your filthy hands off Helene,” Nicanor snapped. “Captain Bakku promised her to me. You can have Qinny or Samara, but not Helene. She’s mine.”
“Truly?” Goat said, and stood up. He sneered at Nicanor a moment, and then turned toward Captain Bakku. The big orc was running a hand over Tiana’s naked, squirming body with a hungry look spreading across his orcish face. “Captain! Nicanor said you gave him the lift witch Helene? True?”
“I did. Why?”
“I want her.”
Bakku shrugged. “You are first mate. You get first pick after me. Helene is yours. You can have one of the other witches, Nicanor.”
“I choose Helene,” Goat said, and Alex noticed all of his witch tattoos began to writhe as he moved into a fighting stance.
“No!” Nicanor cried, eyes wild as he spun around to face Bakku. His hand remained on his hilt, which drew Bakku’s eyes. “You promised. Helene is mine!”
“Not anymore,” Bakku said, dropping Tiana and pulling himself up to his full seven feet of muscle and attitude. “I am captain. My word is law. Helene goes to Goat.”
“No. Our agreement for my help capturing Wraith was Helene as part of my share of the booty. I get Helene.”
“I’ve had enough of you,” Bakku snarled. “Toss him over the side. He’s a known traitor, so we can’t trust him.”
Nicanor screamed out a battle cry as he charged the orc. Bakku swung his huge battle axe to parry the pirate’s thrust at his heart. Their blades clashed, and Alex saw that Bakku had left his flank open. But the big orc jabbed his axe’s haft into Nicanor’s ribs. From the look of shock and agony on Nicanor’s face, Alex guessed the blow broke ribs.
A big fist slammed into the side of Nicanor’s head half a second later, sending the pirate stumbling away. Goat then threw an enchanted shot at Nicanor, also wrapping him up in rope. And then five other pirates seized the hapless idiot and heaved him over the side.
The traitor’s scream came to an abrupt end.
“Damn, Captain,” Goat said, looking over the side. “Poor fella landed on rocks.”
“I wager that hurt more than water,” Bakku said, and his pirates laughed. “Goat, cull me off enough men from the other three ships to man Wraith. I give you command of Ill Wind since I’ll be Wraith’s captain.”
With that, Bakku picked up Tiana, tossed her over his shoulder, and marched into the captain’s cabin. Goat took command.
“Get the prisoners ready to toss,” Goat said. “We’ll throw them overboard once we’re a little further out to sea. We’ll divide up the women and loot afterwards.”
Alex glanced at Qinny, whose bindings barely hung around her wrists and ankles. Was that knot tattoo some kind of rope magic? Maybe that was why she tried to hide it? He figured she was just waiting for the right moment to strike. So he caught her eyes. It only took a moment before she understood what he wanted, and he immediately felt his ropes loosening.
His eyes searched the deck. His sword still lay where he dropped it near the captain’s cabin. A few other knives and swords lay scattered around, but most of the weapons remained in their enemies’ hands. But Bakku’s pirates were quickly divesting themselves of weapons as they returned to their duties as sailors. Few wore sword belts, so had to set their weapons aside. Other sailors began gathering them up.
Tiana screamed in rage behind that closed door. Alex tensed, feeling on the verge of exploding. The ropes binding him weren’t coming loose fast enough, but he dared not try to struggle and speed them along. That might draw unfriendly eyes.
“Hmmmgh,” Helene said while trying to push the gag out with her tongue.
“Shhh,” Alex said. He noticed Samara and B
enarus were also awake and struggling with their bindings. “Listen. We only have one shot at this.”
They stopped struggling and looked at him. Alex looked around to ensure no one was close enough to hear, and then whispered.
“The other pirates are mostly over on their own ships now,” he said. Tiana screamed a stream of curse words, in multiple languages to remind him of one pirate that didn’t return to his ship. “I’m going to go save the captain, but I need to know something. Is there a way to kill the other ship’s lift spell really fast, and in a way their witches can’t reinstate it?”
All three nodded.
“If I send each of you over to one of the ships, can you do it without plunging to your deaths with them?”
Again, they nodded, though more hesitantly.
“Great. Then the instant Qinny gets us free, we slash all the grapple ropes,” he said. “You three divide up the other ships between you, and get down in their holds any way you can and drop those ships down into the water. I’ll go after Tiana.”
It took Qinny what felt like a god-awful long time to unravel all of their ropes, though Alex understood it was only a few minutes. And then as one, they surged to their feet and started snatching up dropped weapons. Alex raced over to pick up his sword, even as Goat started screaming, “Escape!”
He began chopping through the ropes holding Ill Wind to Wraith. Helene joined him, and then leapt over onto the other ship as sailors rushed towards them. She spoke a spell, and clapped her hands really hard before her, and they were blasted back. Some even flew over the other side of the ship, plunging to their deaths.
Benarus, and then Samara, cast the same percussive blast spell a moment later. Alex looked around, seeing all three lift witches fearlessly jumping down into open hatches. Qinny was busy cutting Wraith’s crew loose. And then Alex headed for the cabin’s door.
A loud snap and crack pulled his eyes back to Ill Wind. Goat screamed, and the ship dropped out of sight in a flash. Helene flew up out of the hatch, or so it seemed. Alex realized she was hovering.
