Part Fourteen
We were up at first light and an hour after dawn, our sails were raised and anchors weighed and we began my third voyage in search of plunder. It was only when I began to write up the ships log did I realise that this day was my twenty first birthday but thought it best to keep it quiet.
We gave France a wide berth as we sailed south and didn't meet any other ships except for one of our naval frigates until we reached Madeira.
Here we stayed for three days, taking on fresh water and fruit as well as their great wine and having our pow-wow with William. Then it was the Caribbean to be our next stop.
By my calculation, we were about three days out from Antigua when we spotted three ships coming towards us. Signals shot up the halyards of the Wasp and we, as did the other two, acknowledge the order and as soon as the signal to execute was flown, the Drone and Hornet turned to starboard as Wasp and Hive went to port.
They were French ships and seeing us move outwards, they fell into a line astern and fully expected us to sail on and give them broadside for broadside as we passed, but they were wrong. They were moving with at least half a mile between them and so William's plan was to perform a figure of eight because of the distance between them. We closed in and gave the first French ship eight broadsides and only received three in return and we then swung round in a circle and did the same again, leaving a dismasted and thoroughly shot up ship before swinging round again to take on the second ship.
We could see that it dithered for it didn't know which way to turn and suffered the same fate as the first. The third ship only took two broadsides before hauling down their colours. What a fabulous start to our voyage in taking out three French ships. The first one had been crippled so much that we only just had time after boarding to transfer her cargo and the few surviving members of crew before she sunk. The other two we were able to shepherd on towards our destination of Antigua and get them safely into the shelter of the town's guns.
We took two more in the next two months but we got badly hit in the next encounter. We had closed in our usual formation and exchanged two broadsides before we got close enough for the grappling irons to be thrown and I led our boarding party and killed two men before gaining the opposing poop deck and taking on the other captain. It was a good fight but he was much too overweight and quickly lost his strength and eventually his sword and at that point, surrendered his ship to me.
Sorting out the remaining Frenchmen still alive from our boarding took some time and with a head count found that we'd lost three of our men. I left Mr Fletcher to clear the decks of the dead and sort out a crew to sail her back to Antigua. I went back over onto the Hornet to find out what damage we had taken and how many men we had lost from the two broadsides.
I went down to my cabin first and poured myself a drink when Merrick knocked on the open door.
`Yes Merrick?' I asked.
`We...we've eight dead on the gun deck sir,' he said.
`So?' I said, taking a mouthful of wine.
`One ...one of them was Midge sir.' How I managed to swallow that mouthful of wine without choking, I don't know.
Be a man in front of the crew, William had said.
Have...have our dead laid out on the foredeck,' I managed to say, and I'll be out shortly. Close the door as you leave please.'
`Yes sir,' he said and quickly left. I stumbled over to the bed and laid down and cried. Midge, my little Midge was dead, no longer to be in my arms and kissed. No longer to be here with me in this bed, to fuck me and be fucked in turn.
It took me nearly half an hour to compose myself before going out on deck to see our dead laid out in a row. I could see what was left of Midge near the middle and had to raise my eyes from the sight of his half body lying there. I went to one end and stood by the rail and said a short prayer before they heaved them over the side. I turned away when this was being done and saw that Merrick was crying, but for whom? I then went across to our prize and said the same prayer before they too were put over the side.
Signal from Wasp sir,' ensign Tarrant called out as I mounted out poop deck. Take...prize...back...to...port.'
`Acknowledge. Helmsman! Bring her about. Ahoy Mr Fletcher! Follow us,' I shouted out as he saw me and waved back that he understood.
I cried each night before I fell asleep exhausted in the five days that it took us to get to our port. Having only about three hours sleep a night, when we were safely there and at anchor, I slept for nearly a straight twenty four hours.
I then moped about as Mr Fletcher saw to the repairing of our ship and everybody kept well out of my way as I just seemed to keep snapping at any stupid questions I was asked. We'd been at anchor in port for a week now, and I was sitting in my cabin alone, dinner only half eaten but two bottles of wine drunk when young Merrick knocked and entered.
Er, captain sir,' he stammered. Could I possibly have a word with you?'
`Yes Merrick, you can. Sit down and have a glass of wine,' I slurred for I think I was half pissed.
Er, thank you sir,' he said as he sat down and I slopped some wine into another glass and passed it over. I think he needed it for he gulped half of it down in one go. Well, on behalf of all on board sir, we...we sympathize at the loss of Midge. We all liked him, none more than yourself sir.' His face was red and he gulped down the second half of his wine before continuing. `Well I know more than the others of your loss sir, so...so... er, well, I'm prepared to offer myself to you sir, if you know what I mean. For solace as it were,' he finished lamely and looked down into his empty glass. I took this from him and filled it up again, sobering up at what he had just said. I passed the full glass back to him as I thought over what he had suggested.
`Thank you Mr Merrick, but no.'
`But sir! We don't like you acting like this. Please let me help you. To help you get over the loss of Midge,' he pleaded. I started to get up to say no again but then sat back down again for I felt myself getting an erection. This was the first one since that day that Midge died and it made me uncomfortable. I looked over at the young man who I'd once chastised for getting men to fight over his backside. I could see a pleading look in his eye and wondered if he'd taken the bollocking to heart and not let another member of the crew fuck him. I know he'd slept with Midge for hadn't he said that. I got the feeling that now he was an officer, he couldn't very well let any members of the crew fuck him up the backside anymore and maybe he was desperate for a bit of cock as I now felt, feeling my prick really get hard inside my trousers.
`Thank you Merrick. Well you've seen me naked on the foredeck having my bath, but I've not seen you take advantage of it,' I said.
`I would do so if you so ordered sir,' he replied.
`That I would never do nor would I ask you to take your clothes off now, unless you want to that is.' I got up and went over to the my bed and took my clothes off for him to see me naked and I got onto the bed and waited to see which way he would jump.
He had watched me and saw that I had a big hard on and he gulped down the last of his wine and gave me a shy smile and stood up and took his clothes off. He was a bit on the skinny side but revealed a nice healthy organ that was sticking out from between his legs and he gave me another shy smile as he saw me looking at it and he got onto the bed with me.
You do me an honour Merrick,' I said as I reached down and took hold of his prick and began to move that soft skin of flesh up and down over the muscle beneath. Don't be afraid to touch me,' I added, and his hand came down and he almost flinched as he took it in his hand and began to move it in the same way as I was doing to him. `Have you ever taken a prick in your mouth?'
`Yes sir,' he said, his face close to mine on the pillow, our hands still moving slowly on each other.
`Merrick. If and when you are in this bed with me, drop the sir and call me Jim,' I said softly.
`Yes si...er, Jim, his face going red again.
`Now take me in your mouth then and help me out,' I said and lay back as he shifted his body down the bed and I closed my eyes as I felt his breath first before his hot mouth closed over the head of my cock and he began to suck on me. It was obvious he had done this before for his tongue began to rove over the head and his teeth nipped me gently as he sucked while he worked his hand up and down on my shaft.
I groaned because I was getting waves and waves of pleasure riding up from my balls and through my stomach as he worked on me and I took a quick look to see his head bobbing a little as he worked on me and I soon began to tense up as I felt myself coming and he knew too for his lips tightened round the head of my cock as I came in a shower of shooting stars, pumping my hips upwards, sending my sperm deep into his throat.
A great warmth flooded through my body and I felt myself relax for the first time for nearly two weeks.
`Keep it in your mouth and turn your body round,' I said rather hoarsely as I moved onto my side and he shuffled his body round till I had his throbbing prick in front of my nose. His foreskin was tightly stretched over the head of his cock, making the eye stare back at me, wide open. I licked my lips as I looked at it and took the base of it into my fingers and found it was hot and I blew into that open eye and felt him shudder before I opened my mouth and took him in. I heard him give out a gasp round the head of my cock that was still in his mouth and I began to work on his shaft as I sucked and tongued him. He must have been as desperate as me for it didn't take long before he came quite copiously into my mouth and I found that he wasn't as spicy in taste as Midge had been. I took it all in before breathing hard through my nose, swallowed it and then licked and squeezed the last drops out of him.
Okay,' I said as I took my mouth of the head of his cock, you can come up here now.' The head of my cock suddenly felt cold in the air after being in his hot mouth and he moved up and lay down beside me. I put my arm up under his neck as our bodies came close together.
`Have you ever kissed another man?'
`Yes si...er, Jim,' he said and so I leaned into him and he closed his eyes and we kissed. It wasn't a bad kiss and I reckoned that he could do better.
`Thank you Merrick. I find now that I really did need that release,' I said and looked into his eyes that were now open and saw a similar look in them that Midge used to have. Christ, I thought, the boy loves me, and then he went and almost confirmed it.
That and this is lovely...Jim,' he said nestling himself closer, his eyes not leaving my face. Ever since you found out about me, I've dreamed of this moment. Of being in your arms and being kissed by you, and...'
`And?' I prompted.
`Of...of having you put yourself into me and...and fucking me.'
Then give us a little bit of time to recover and we shall make that dream come true,' I chuckled, and then to put icing on the cake, you can then do the same to me.'
`Oh Jim,' he said with a sigh and relaxed in my arms and let me kiss him again. He spent the next hour just stroking my face, chest and arms as if to prove that I was really there and it wasn't a dream and soon I was up and hard again. He could feel it too for it was now pressing up against the side of his stomach but he waited till I told him that it was time for the rest of his dream to come true.
We parted and he rolled onto his front and rose up as I got behind and between his open legs, seeing his backside for the first time. As white as Midge had been black, firm and compact I felt as I ran my hands over both bare cheeks, parting them to see the brown puckered target that I was to aim for. With my left hand holding his hip, I used my right to guide the tip of my cock to the right place and felt him tremble when it touched him. My body held it there as I brought my right hand up to his other hip and then eased my body forward and watched the head of my cock begin to push the flesh inwards and then to see it start to move inside him.
He gave out a grunt as my cock widened him even more at the pressure I was applying and then the head slipped in and the rest of me followed it and as my thighs came up against his, he let out a big sigh and I now felt his inner heat completely surrounding my cock. It was home. My cock was back in the tightness of another person's backside and I even had a small shiver run through me when I realised that I'd just shoved my cannon up my gunnery officer's arse. I stifled the laugh that I could have made at this and concentrated on giving him a really good fuck and just hoped that he would give me one just as good.
I pistoned myself in and out of his tight backside and loved every minute of my thrusting and could feel the pressure building up in my balls and then I gave him a salvo of my seed. Well a broadside really, for it must have taken at least ten violent rammings for me to get rid of it all in his backside. I came to a stop, panting heavily and leaning on his hips, my cock still twitching inside him as he also squeezed me from the inside.
I pulled out to his groans and flopped over onto my back.
There's a cloth and water somewhere over there,' I said, waving vaguely across the cabin. He got the message and got up from the bed and went and fetched both over and washed my cock before getting back onto the bed. I smiled at him. You're turn now,' and he moved so that I could get to my knees and I felt his trembling hand hold my hip and then that thrill of the head of a cock nuzzling my back entrance.
What a relief to once again having a prick slide up into my backside even if it was only Merrick's. I felt that he had trembled too as he began to put himself into his captain, but now he was there, inside me and gave me a pretty good seeing to. He wasn't as good as Midge in this respect but it was still a soothing massage to my insides and what the fuck, a fuck is a fuck.
I let him wash himself after he'd pulled out and he was soon back in bed with me.
`You do realise Merrick that we can't do this too often, not with you being a junior officer,' I said.
I know, er, Jim,' he replied, stroking my chest and arm. But if at any time you need some relief...'
`Understood. Now we've got till four before you go on watch.'
It was another week before our small squadron entered the harbour, without a prize ship. I watched them anchor and saw a small boat pull alongside the Wasp just as the ship came to a stop. I couldn't make out who it was but after a few minutes, the man was back and I saw William climb down into the boat. It was then rowed over towards us and I guessed that he'd just been told about Midge. I stayed on the poop as he came aboard and was greeted by Mr Fletcher.
Jim!' he called up to me. Your cabin if you please.' He disappeared from sight and I left the poop and went down and along to my cabin and went inside and shut the door.
They've told me,' he said coming over and taking me in his arms, holding me tight. I'm so sorry.'
Thank you William,' I said, my voice muffled by his shoulder. I'm all right now, and didn't cry on deck.'
That's good Jim,' he said giving me a kiss before releasing me. Let's have a drink.'
So we sat there while I told him of what and how Midge died and then he told me of his fruitless search for any more ships. I also accepted his invitation to go to his ship and stay for dinner. He didn't need to add anything else.
I gave Mr Fletcher the minimal of orders for I found he was quite a capable officer and the ship was in good hands and I went in William's jolly boat off to the Wasp. We went aboard and into his cabin and there I saw Dinky.
`Oh Captain Jim,' he cried and rushed over and put his arms round my waist and hugged me. I hugged him back without any words for we both knew of whom we were thinking.
Dinky, get us a drink please,' William said, and I was released as he went to pour us out some wine. We sat down and sipped at our glasses. Jim, would you object to me sending Dinky ashore to, well, find you a new cabin boy?'
`William, there's no need,' I said.
`Oh yes there is! For the first couple of weeks you were moping around but have picked up a bit in the last week. Which leads me to think that you've had some cock from somewhere. I want you back at your peak and if that means you having another cabin boy to replace Midge, so be it! Dinky! I want you to go ashore and find another cabin boy for Captain Jim.'
`Yes Captain sir! I know of a couple but will check them out first that they are clean,' he said with a smile.
`One that you can play with at odd times no doubt,' William said dryly.
`Massa knows me too well I think,' he said with a laugh and left us alone.
Jim. I know what and how much you need company in bed at night, as much as I do. Therefore I am urging you to take on another for company for a happy captain will create a happy crew. You are now my second in command and I can't have you thinking of other things at a crucial time. Now that's enough talking on that subject except to say,' and he gave me a grin, let's go to bed and help relieve the tension in both of us.'
To that suggestion I had no argument and quickly stripped off and got onto his bed and watched him undress, still marvelling at how fit and strong he looked when he was naked. He looked powerful too when he was clothed and standing up on the poop deck, but divested of his clothes, he looked really magnificent. Only then could you see how majestic he was, a colossus of a man, and one that I loved and had the heart stopping fact that he loved me too.
He was scarcely on the bed before I was paying homage to his phallus. Hard and erect in my hand as I bowed my head and kissed the exposed head of his cock before sucking on him. Just for a moment because my stomach was churning and my back passage was itching for him to fill and soothe the nerves that were screaming for his heat and power inside me.
I cried out my love for him as his tool opened me up like the petals of a flower revealing themselves to the rays of the sun. It was heaven to have him back there behind me, reaming my insides with his throbbing iron bar of a cock. I liked fucking another up the backside and didn't mind fucking a woman, but this was for me, perfection itself in having it done to me.
The extra joy was being able to feel the penis swell that little bit more and to feel the seed spurting up higher into me that any cock had ever reached, to feel it cream around inside and, in some cases, still feel it ooze out of me a couple of hours later to remind me of the thrill I had of having it put there.
Then there was the oral aspect of it. To hold an erect prick in your hand, feeling the pulse and heart beat of the owner. The silky feeling of the thin covering of skin that moved so easily up and down the shaft. To make him shiver when your teeth nibbled up and down and hear the gasp when he felt the heat of your mouth as you took it in and clamped your lips just under the ridge of the head.
The balls too were a pleasure to take into the mouth and roll them round and suck on, knowing that here was where the seed you wanted was grown and it only took a little bit of manipulation to make them fight their way up the narrow tube to shoot out of the eye for you to taste, roll around over your tongue before swallowing. Sex with a male was far more satisfying than that with a woman I thought.
William was a rampant lion that night, taking me four times before dawn and I was once again happy in his bed and he was exhausted. Dinky was gone for two days and nights before returning with a bright looking lad saying that he was one year younger than he was. I was in William's cabin at the time and liked the boy on sight.
`His name is Tuk,' announced Dinky, putting his arm around the boy's shoulder.
`Did you fuck Tuk?' William asked and both the boys giggled and even I had to laugh at this question the way it was put.
`Of course. I had to find out if he would be suitable for Captain Jim. I even let him fuck me,' Dinky said with a smirk.
Okay,' William said with a laugh. It did come out rather funny. Now Tuk, are you prepared to work for Captain Jim here?' he asked, waving his hand at me. Tuk's big black eyes looked me up and down and he nodded his head.
`Doesn't he speak?' William asked Dinky.
`Oh yes Captain. He speaks good English but I told him to keep his mouth shut.'
`Jim, we'll keep him here for a day or two while Dinky shows him his duties as a powder monkey and what you will require of him being your cabin boy.' I couldn't disagree with this for his duties on the gun deck were very important and Dinky would be the best person to show him.
`If you say so William. Well I better return to my ship if we're sailing in two days time. We've still got some stores still to load. Look after him Dinky,' I said as I left the cabin.
`Yes sir Captain Jim,' he called out after me.
I found out two days later that Dinky had indeed told him of all his duties after that of being a powder monkey. How to serve the Captain at his table and pour the wine and how to react when in bed. Here, Tuk first fucked Dinky while William watched and then William got onto the bed and fucked Tuk. Tuk then had to suck Dinky and later, when William was up again, he sucked and chewed on William's erection and passed as being a fit bed mate for me.
Tuk was sent over to our ship one hour before we sailed so I never had a chance to speak to him till late afternoon when we were clear of the islands and could leave the deck.
Well Tuk,' I said. Have you settled and found where everything is?'
`Yes indeed Captain Jim sir. I speak to Cookie. Funny man that. Has pigtail and talks funny. He say he have special dinner for you tonight. Flied Lice? What is that?' I laughed.
`You'll get used to him. So go and get my fried rice and I hope it's duck tonight.'
`Fuck tonight? Of course Captain Jim,' he said as I laughed again and pushed him out to get my dinner. At least I saw that he had laid the table correctly and the wine bottle was open and so I poured myself out a glass. Tuk came in with a tray and several dishes on it.
`Cookie say fuck duck it's chicken tonight,' he chuckled as he sorted out the dishes and served me. It was very good and I made a pig of myself at the table and also in bed that night. I waited till he'd cleared things away and had returned to the cabin before I got undressed and tossed my clothes at him to fold up and put to one side. I let him see me full frontal, naked and with a steaming hard on and was pleased to see his eyes light up and lick his lips. I got onto my bed and lay on my side and waited for him to take his clothes off.
He was playing with me for he began to take his shirt off very slowly revealing his black chest and then turned to drop his trousers and I watched him bring the cheeks of his bum together to make them look like ripe hard plums. Then he turned round to let me see his black cock up and ready for action and I'm sure it was bigger than Midge's had ever been. That I would find out in a few minutes time.
He got onto the bed and immediately bent down and took the head of mine into his mouth and began to suck on me.
Not too much Tuk,' I groaned at the way he was using his tongue around the head of my prick. I'd rather use it the other way first.'
As you say Captain Jim, he said, lifting himself up off me, a smile on his face. `You have a big weapon which I'd like to have you use.' He moved up the bed and to one side to let me get up onto my knees to allow him to move and get ready for me. There wasn't really any difference between him and Midge. Black skinned, slim of build, same sort of smile, which wasn't apparent from the angle I was at. Nice tight cheeks of his bum and about the same size and texture I felt as I ran my hands over them.
I felt him give a shiver at my touch and then a tremble as I parted the black cheeks of his bum and put the head of my cock to his back entrance.
Please be gentle with me for this first time Captain Jim,' he asked in a low voice, and he was still trembling as I placed both hands now on his hips to hold him steady as I moved mine forward and felt the resistance of his sphincter muscle but it didn't stop me. I widened him enough for the head of my cock to move in and then I felt his body heat surround my cock as I fully penetrated and slid right in till I could go no further. As I nestled myself against his bum cheeks, he exhaled his pent up breath and I felt his body relax. Lovely Captain Jim,' he crooned as I began to fuck my new cabin boy and bed mate.
He gurgled like I often did when he felt me come inside him, grinding our bodies together as I continued to shoot my stored up sperm into his backside. He was a good lad to fuck and I hoped that he would be able to satisfy me too in the same way.
I pulled out and lay back to allow him to get off the bed to get the water and cloth and wash my still hard prick. He got back onto the bed with an eager gleam in his eye and I smiled at him as I turned over for him to get behind me.
`Be gentle with me this first time,' I said, quoting his words and he laughed as I felt his prick move in between the cheeks of my bum and find its way without being held and had him enter me. He was bigger that Midge and I loved his cock filling me and feeling it throb as he slid right in and held me firm as he began to fuck me. He was good, but all too soon he was holding me tight as he came inside me, pumping away with his hips as I felt his seed coat my insides.
Oh Captain Jim. This is so wonderful,' he said, gasping for breath as he leaned over onto my back. I promise to do all that you say and will look after you.'
His fucking was nearly as good as William's and his pulling out of me was a real loss. He quickly washed himself and was soon back in bed with me.
I'm going to like being with you Captain Jim,' he said as he cuddled up to me. Can I kiss you too?'
`Only when we're here in bed,' I smiled and accepted his kiss and returned it as well.
We fucked each other again later that night and inside of a month he was completely devoted to me.
We spent the next twelve months scouring the Caribbean and only took four ships in as many encounters. We also had one loss. Captain Knutley and the Hive.
In every encounter you expect to get at least one broadside yourself when attacking another ship with your own. It was a quirk of fate that one shot, just one of the broadside the Hive took. The ball must have penetrated the magazine and ignited the powder stored there. We were following quite close behind her and I saw her receive about ten balls and then she just erupted in front of us.
One massive blast of flame shot up just forrard of the poop deck, sending flames, timber and smoke plus some bodies high into the air. Not only did the blast go upward, but outward too. Flame and wood flew out as the ship broke in two, the stern quickly tilting upwards and disappearing beneath the water with the other half of the ship following it very quickly.
We hove to and lowered the jolly boat but only found four survivors, these being the second officer and three top men. The rest were either killed in the explosion, drowned or had been taken by sharks which abounded in those waters.
The ship that had sunk Hive suffered the same fate though not by an explosion but being battered to a wreck by the other two ships. I know the gunners were eager to avenge the Hive but she sank before we could salvage any of her cargo. I think that Captain Blake got a bollocking from William later for continuing his firing and therefore depriving us of prize money.
But worse was to come and that was only a couple of weeks later. We were patrolling in the southern waters of the Caribbean, hoping to pick up any ship coming from the mainland and heading for Martinique with gold and silver.
Wasp was in the van and spotted a sail and closed in to attack with us following. It wasn't until they reached the point of exchanging gunfire that we saw the flag run up and realised that it was a pirate ship. It had been a sultry afternoon and the weather was threatening and just after two broadsides had been exchanged, we were hit by a squall and a heavy downpour of rain which gave us a very limited horizon. Contact was lost for nearly three hours until the squall past and there was no sign of the pirate ship.
We were still all in view for we had kept to our original course and when we could see Wasp, and William's ship could see us, signals went up.
Hove to's the signal sir,' an ensign called out to me and before I could give the order to acknowledge, another sir. Captains to flag.'
Acknowledge,' I said, and get the jolly boat swung out ready,' I said to my first officer.
It didn't take long for the three ships to get close enough to each other for our jolly boat to be lowered and I went down and had myself rowed over and saw that Drone's boat was just behind us.
`Well done,' I shouted to my boat's crew with us getting there first, and I was quickly up the ladder and over onto the deck.
Bad news Captain Dawkins,' were the first words I got from the first officer, and he had tears in his eyes. Captain Foster is dead.'
