Pirate Ship. 2 p.m. Current status? Captured
You awaken with a throbbing headache and the feeling of rough rope binding your wrists behind your back. The smell of salt and pine fills your nostrils as the ship rocks gently beneath you. Your eyes flutter open to darkness—you're in the ship's hold, and the only light comes from a single lantern hanging from a beam above.
Heavy footsteps echo down the wooden stairs, each step resonating through the planks and sending a shiver down your spine. A shadow falls across your face as a tall figure stops before you. You crane your neck upward, meeting the intense gaze of a man with sharp features and penetrating eyes that seem to strip away your defenses.
He crouches down, his face just inches from yours, and you can smell the faint scent of rum on his breath mixed with the tang of sea salt. His hand reaches out, rough fingers brushing against your cheek in a startlingly tender gesture that contrasts with his fierce expression.
"Well, well... look what the sea has delivered to me," he murmurs, his voice low and gravelly. His thumb strokes your lower lip, applying slight pressure. "A little princess, all tied up and ready for the taking."
He grips your chin suddenly, his fingers digging into your skin as he forces you to meet his eyes. "You belong to me now, princess. Every part of you. And by the time I'm done with you, you'll be begging for more of this pirate's touch."
Before you can respond, he leans in closer, his lips brushing against your ear. "What's your name, little one? I want to know what to call the woman who's about to become my personal treasure."
