At least I thought it was a guard until I saw her face. Her naked body showed her bruising, but she leaned against him like a limpet to a rock. Lorris...looked over his shoulder at me and to my surprise, winked. She looked a lot cleaner than the pile of rags I’d seen her as, last. The wink surprised me totally. I didn’t think she’d have the strength to stand again, let alone hang off Miles’ body in such a manner. Miles pushed her away, looking over at me. My startled expression evidently amused. I pulled the lanyard, the gun lurched and the round flew over the deck of the ship and exploded in the water. Opening the breach, the shell casing flew outward, and I was turning to grab a new round when Walter stepped up and slammed in the new round.Closing the breach, I locked it down, and lowered the angle a little. I yanked the lanyard. The gun lurched and the shell flew through the air, and hit the bowsprit. The small mast and sail blew apart as the contact warhead exploded. Then the world. He grabbed her and forced her to sit upon the bed, and then forced her to lie back upon the bed, her legs over the side of the bed, and spread out slightly so that her most private place was just exposed to his view. His hands came from her breasts, to glide down her chest, across her narrow hips to her thighs, her inner thighs. His hands pressed against her thighs, spreading her legs, opening her body more widely to his sight. His fingertips touched her, and caressed her flesh, and slowly. His hands were calloused and strong yet had the touch of a craftsman. He swung his hands down inside those little black panties to touch my little slick snatch. I moaned as he spread my lips and my wetness ran down my leg. One hand freed itself from my panties to again grasp my nipple. His mouth and tongue licked along my shoulders and the back of my neck as he breathed into my ears over and over. Then I felt it. He pressed firmly against my bare ass with his rough blue jeans peeling away small.
