Married to a Pirate (Romancing the Seas, #1)

by Athena Rose

Captain Stone pulled back to give her a fierce look, then he caged her against the wall between his arms. “Because you belong to me now.”

“You’re afraid of me,” he said, watching Georgette. He dipped his head and gave her a firm look. “There are many people who should fear me, but you are not one of them.”

Georgette blinked several times, looking at the dark figure standing beside the captain. Then her heartbeat thundered as the man roared. “Touch my wife and I will destroy you all!”

“You will leave me?” she asked, panic rising. Captain Stone turned back and gave her a piercing look. “Nay, my lady. I will never leave you. Now sleep, we have a long journey ahead of us.”

“No one is looking at you.” “How can you know that?” Georgette whispered back, glancing at the long line of men behind her. Captain Stone’s stubble grazed her cheek as he moved closer. “Because they know that I will gouge out the eyes of the man who so much as glances at my treasure.”

“Make no mistakes, my lady. I will burn this entire world down to keep you safe,”

“Don’t look at me like I’m your enemy,” he said. “I can live with the whole world thinking I’m a monster. But not you.”

“Make no mistake, my lady. I do not care for gold and material things. There is only one treasure I will die for, and I am looking at her right now.”
