Part Three
We'd been at sea for a week when, during the afternoon, we saw two ships exchanging broadsides before moving together with one being boarded by the other. We were too far away to join in the fight and William called out to the lookout up in the crow's nest if he could identify them.
Yes Captain,' he shouted back, his voice quite thin. The one being boarded was showing a French flag, but it's down now. The other ship is flying a black flag at the stern.'
`A pirate!' exclaimed Mr Tombs, his eyeglass like the others, was trained on the two ships.
Let her fall off Digby,' William said to the helmsman, we will fall astern but keep the wind. It'll soon be dark.'
I liked Digby. He was a fresh faced young man, about twenty years old and he sometimes let me hold the big wheel that steered the ship. We had three helmsmen that kept the same watches as the officers of the deck, but he was the one I liked the most.
`Note their course Mr Shelby for we will try and stay behind them till the morning. If they stay on their course, they'll be in the early dawn light while we'll still be in the darkness. I'll decide our action then,' William said
The word soon got round that there might be action at daybreak and the smith was setting up his grinding wheel to sharpen the cutlasses. The talk at the dining table was about the possibility of action in the morning but William wouldn't commit himself until he was sure that we would be able to catch them unawares.
I was bubbling myself as I took William's clothes as he undressed for bed and I'm not sure if it was thought of action or seeing me naked that brought about his erection. I couldn't even wait to get onto the bed before I had the fiery head of it inside my mouth, leaning over the side as I chewed and sucked on him.
`Slow down Jim, slow down. We've got all night,' he laughed.
I want it all night too,' I replied after releasing him and getting into bed with him. I moved so that I lay on top of him and kissed him. Promise me you won't get hurt tomorrow,' I said between kisses, tears coming to my eyes.
I promise,' he said as he stroked my back as he held me in his strong arms. Now let's do something with what you're squashing between us.' I rolled off of him to allow him to move up onto his knees and shuffle behind me as I assumed the right position to receive him. I couldn't get enough of him stroking the cheeks of my bum and the sides of my chest, nor of the nuzzling of the head of his cock at the entrance to my backside.
Then came the exquisite pain of having it widened to accommodate his prick followed by the soothing feel of him sliding right in till his thighs touched my bum. To feel it throb and pulsate as I squeezed his shaft with my muscle as he began his slow movements as he proceeded to fuck me. I even lay my shoulders down on the sheet with my head turned to one side, making my back bow downwards to make my arse stick up even higher and give him just that bit more feeling. I dribbled at the pleasure he was giving me as the piston of his cock stroked my insides, stoking up the fire in his balls that began to get agitated enough to want to burst out. He too knew when it was time for he held me firmer and began to grunt as he tried to get more of himself into my arse as he banged his thighs against mine before holding me very tight as he began jerking off. The first burst of sperm inside was always felt and I cried out with joy at feeling it and pushed myself back onto him to try and feel the others that followed. As you can see, I loved that man fucking me.
He was panting as he grasped my legs just above the knees and pulled them out from under so that I was forced to slide down onto my front with him still inside me. My own prick was now really throbbing and had it squashed almost flat with his weight on my back. But I loved that weight and enjoyed the sensation of him rocking himself on top as my stomach took the place of a hand to masturbate and fuck the bed sheet. He could tell by the tremors of my body when I came, shuddering as my seed soiled the sheet and smeared my stomach with the sperm that came out of me.
I gave out my usual cry of dismay when he pulled out, almost drawing my insides out at the same time and felt the night air waft round my arsehole that he'd just vacated. He rolled over onto his back so that I could rise up and get off the bed to fetch a wet cloth to wash him
That was the first night that he was capable of fucking me three times before we went to sleep.
We were woken by a knocking at the cabin door.
`Two hours from dawn sir,' came the voice of one of the seamen on watch.
Up boy! Up!' William said. Show time I hope.'
He was up and getting dressed as I sleepily looked at him, full of beans with a big smile on his face. The bugger was actually looking forward to a fight. He was gone before I'd even got my pantaloons up off the floor but I wasn't that far behind him up onto the poop deck.
`Have both sets of guns loaded and run out Mr Davis. Jim, powder for both sides. Mr Shelby, send two men to the tops for a sighting. You see to the shrouds Mr Tombs. Right, get them all out and ready before dawn breaks.' William had given his orders and we all went off to do our duties.
I had the powder out ready when the men came bursting into the gun deck and begin loading first the larboard side and then moved over to load the others. I then made sure we had more powder ready and as there wasn't any more I could do until any action, went back up onto the foredeck to see what was happening.
Dawn was close and there was now a faint lighting of the eastern horizon when there was a call from up aloft.
`Deck there! Sail! Four points off the larboard beam.'
Bring her round astern of her Nugent,' William called out to the helmsman. This was the man who had the eight to twelve watch but being the senior helmsman, always took over when there was any action. Full sail Mr Tombs, every sheet.'
`Aye aye sir,' he replied and shouted out the order to the men aloft. William studied the pirate ship for a few minutes before turning to me.
`Jim. Now get this right for Mr Davis. I am going to approach from the stern but keeping to windward. So it's the starboard cannon first. I want the first eight cannon forrad to fire a broadside when she's on the up roll to hit her below the waterline. I want the last two cannons to be changed to chain shot and for them to be angled up to take down the masts. These to be fired when this can be done. I will then luff and come about for the larboard guns to bear. The first two cannons to be loaded with grapeshot and to fire for the poop deck. The rest to smash into the bulwarks. These cannons to be reloaded for I will swing round her stern and give her another broadside into her side. You got that?'
`Yes sir,' I said and scampered off below to pass on the orders.
The cannons had already been loaded and run out and they quickly had to pull back the two stern most ones to change over to chain shot. Then over to the larboard side to pull those two in and change to grape shot. I went back up to the foredeck to watch our approach, creeping up behind the pirate ship quite fast for they were only running under half sail and hadn't seen us coming out from the darkness. She was quite visible to us being silhouetted from the early lightening sky as dawn started to break. We were about three ships length from her when we could hear the calls of alarm and our ship swung to the windward side and quickly began to overtake her.
At this point I had to go below for we would be firing at any moment now and got ready with fresh powder for the reloading. Mr Davis was watching through one of the gun ports and waited till we were broadside to her before he gave the order to fire. Matchlocks were placed to the touch holes and almost as one the eight cannons roared with a deafening sound and were flung back with the recoil, held fast by the ropes from shooting right across the lower deck. I heard later that there had been panic aboard that ship as they tried to load their cannon and run them out but the surprise was total.
Eight gaping holes were made in the hull on her upward roll from the sea and after she'd shuddered from the impacts, slowly rolled back and the sea started to pour into her. Then our last two starboard cannon fired and succeeded in taking down the two main masts, breaking them halfway up and they fell with the sails and shrouds down onto the panicking crew.
I was already placing fresh bags of powder at the first cannon as these two went off and the men were quickly sponging the muzzle out and reloading them as we felt our ship heel over as William had the sail's ropes slackened to spill the air from the sails as we came about. These ropes were then hauled tight again and made fast and we were now sailing towards her on the other tack.
Our gun crews had now moved over to the other side and were ready to fire again at the order. This time I managed to get a glimpse of the pirate ship as we approached her again and saw that she was already canting her deck towards the sea as her lower decks were filling up with water. They tried firing some cannon but their angle was wrong and the shot was hitting the sea a good forty yards from us. Then we were level with them again and the order came and the cannons roared again and was told later that we almost blew her apart with that salvo. I was running back and forth, almost choking on the gun smoke that was now thick on our deck, giving them fresh powder for their reloading. Our ship heeled again and I knew we were now rounding her stern and I got a glimpse of the transom and saw the name of their ship. It was called the Dragonfly, and the only place she would be flying now was to the bottom of the sea.
The smoke was clearing and I could see through a gun port that the ship was heeled over by about twenty degrees, exposing her keel and this was where our next broadside smashed and it literally pushed the ship over onto its side as it shivered and shook under the impact of all ten cannon firing into that hull.
The cannons had been flung back and I was carrying more powder for the reloading when Digby came below and had to shout to Mr Davis because he, like me, was half deaf from the noise of the cannons.
`Captain says to cease firing but stand by,' he shouted. I finished supplying the powder and went up into the fresh air on the foredeck and looked at the stricken ship that was settling fast in the water and realised that surprise had been complete for she hadn't been able to hit us with the few guns that did fire back at us.
We had circled round again and could now see that the waterlogged sails were now dragging that shattered ship down and as we came abeam of her, she slipped below the surface and had gone. I could see men in the water but also I could see that sharks had arrived on the scene and though we managed to get quite close to where she'd gone down, we were unable to pick up any of those that had floundered in the water. If she had been carrying any of the Frenchmen as prisoners, it just wasn't their day.
It had seemed like ages for me but the whole action had only lasted about thirty minutes and the sun was still below the horizon. Digby was sent below to tell Mr Davis to secure the guns which meant that they had to unload the powder and shot and make them fast to their restraining tackle. I thought that I'd let them see to returning the unused powder to the store and went on up to the poop deck. William was beaming all over his face and shouted down to some men of the foredeck to pump up some sea water into our canvas tub on the deck.
A proper powder monkey you are,' he said to me. You look just like a blackamoor,' and laughed. I looked down at myself and saw that I was filthy. My chest, arms and legs covered in the black dust from the gun smoke. `Get down and have your bath.' I didn't need telling twice and went down and took of my dirty pantaloons, seeing I had a white patch round my middle and jumped into the tub while the men were still pumping sea water into it. I washed myself and wet and naked, went off to our cabin to find William already inside, naked as I was and sporting a massive erection.
This is what a good battle does to me,' he said with a smile. I smiled back at him and went down onto my knees and took the head of his throbbing cock into my mouth. No,' he groaned. `Get over to the table.' I released him and got up and went and laid my chest down onto the table as he came up behind me. No messing about. He rammed himself straight up into me and made me cry out for he'd never been this rough before at sticking his cock up my arse. But it was great to feel it really pulsating as he moved himself in and out of me, bringing me to an erection too. He almost lay on my back as he began to come, holding me down as his hips jerked and I felt his seed splatter my insides and he stayed inside me when he came to a stop, still throbbing inside my backside. His hand came under me and he began to jerk me off and made me groan with the pleasure of his big hand working on my stiff prick until I came, shooting my load out under the table.
I then washed his still hard cock after he'd pulled out of me and got some clean clothes out for him to get dressed. I couldn't for my only pair of pantaloons were filthy and still out on the deck so I wrapped some cloth round my waist and went off to get him some food for his breakfast.
It was a happy crew that day after doing battle and coming out unscathed. Dinner was early that night and all hands had been given some ale from a broached cask and after, two lanterns were lit on the foredeck and someone produced a fiddle and some of the sailors began dancing on the hatch cover while others clapped in time to the music.
I was watching and clapping along with the others when Digby came and sat down beside me. It was several minutes before he spoke to me.
Jim,' he began, looking down at his feet instead of at me. I...I know that er, you and the er, Captain are together,' he stuttered. `But after what Wilkinson had done, he said that if you said no, you meant just that. Did he mean that if you said yes, you would?'
I could see that he was actually blushing. `I...I'm getting rather desperate and...and wonder if you might say yes to me, to, you know, er, get together. You can do it to me too,' he finished, still not quite looking me in the face.
I wasn't exactly flabbergasted, but here I was being offered, for the first time, to fuck a man as I liked being fucked. I was just a short time away from my thirteenth birthday and yet being told that I could fuck this man if I let him fuck me. All kinds of emotions ran through my body and actually got an erection at the very thought of having my cock being used instead of just using it to piss and jerk off.
`Forward hatch,' I said softly, trying to keep my voice from trembling, and got up and moved out of the lanterns light into the darkness further forrad. I got to the other hatch and, having washed my pantaloons earlier, now dropped them as Digby came alongside of me. I reached out and felt his hard cock inside of his trousers and pulled it out. I could see in the dim starlight and feel, that he wasn't as big as William, but it was hard and throbbing and really wanted it inside me. I bent down and took the head of his cock into my mouth and he gave out a groan as I sucked on him for a moment, lubricating it with my saliva. I released him and turned and bent over the hatch cover.
`Now fuck me with it Digby,' I said and felt his hand hold me steady and his prick touch my bum cheeks.
Thank you Jim,' he said as he pushed forward and I had his smaller cock move up into my backside. It didn't last long but that didn't matter for it was the hard piece of flesh that was soothing my insides that I really wanted. I felt him stiffen as he began to come inside, holding me tight as he did so and I could hear him panting Oh Jim. You don't know just how much I've been wanting to do this to you, and then have you doing it to me.' He pulled out and went to the ship's side where there was nearly always a bucket of sea water, and washed himself before coming back to where I was waiting with trepidation for my first time in doing it. I was still sitting on the hatch and he knelt down in front of me and took the head of my erection in his mouth and it must have been two years since a man had done this to me. It was hot and his tongue roved over the head of my cock and I knew that I couldn't take much more of this so pushed him off. He stood up and dropped his trousers and bent over the hatch as I moved round behind him. The cheeks of his bum shone pale in the dimness of the night and I parted them and saw the hole I was to aim at. My cock was soon there and I pushed forward, feeling the head of my prick being compressed by his sphincter muscle but kept moving and then in it slipped. The inner warmth of his body was incredible and I pushed right up inside him till my thighs were tight to his bum cheeks.
I could feel that he was trembling but there again, it could have been me, so I held his hips in my hands and began to slide my cock back-wards and forwards inside him. It was wonderfully tight and pleasing, hot and a lovely ride. I really enjoyed my first experience of this fucking and couldn't hold back and finally held his body close to mine as I came inside him.
`That was lovely Jim,' he said as I pulled out of him. I went over to the water bucket and squatted down by it and washed my still throbbing cock before moving to find my pantaloons and put them on. His trousers were up again when I got back and he actually held my hand as we walked back to where the others were still dancing, though he did let go before we came into the lantern's light.
We would later do this at least three times a week, usually during the morning in the rope locker where we would undress completely and kiss and stroke each other before sticking our cocks up into the receptive backside
But back to that night. I went to bed with William as I usually did and found that I appreciated his prick even more with it being not only bigger but him being more experienced in using it. He reamed me beautifully with his slow long strokes, his cock pulsating at the same time, beating a steady tattoo in my passage. I also loved the final moments when he held me tight to his thighs as he jerked and came inside me.
After cleaning him I was in his arms being kissed and stroked before I asked him the question I now felt able to ask.
`William, will you let me fuck you?'
No,' was the flat reply. Find one of the others to fuck.'
`You'll let me do that?' I asked.
Yes, as long as you make sure you both wash yourselves properly afterwards. Who would you prefer? There's three of the crew that like it.' That was news to me, well I now knew of one and wondered who the other two might be. Which one would you like to fuck?'
`Digby,' I said promptly.
`Yes, he is a pretty thing. If I hadn't found you in Funchal, I might have brought him into this bed. Yes, you could do worse, but keep it discreet and make sure that you wash properly afterwards.' I thought it prudent to not say that I already had had sex with him and so I gave William a hug and settled down for the night.
My thirteenth birthday came and went and before I knew it, I'd passed my fourteenth. In the past fifteen months I had been working hard on the exercises to strengthen my arms. I could now get halfway up the ratlines from the inside before swinging back to the outside when I tired, but the evidence was there that it was working. My shoulders were getting broader and I was really now developing some biceps. I could now wield a cutlass though not for very long I must admit but was more comfortable with the sword. I still wasn't allowed to use it when we boarded four ships in that time. Well they boarded them, our crew I mean and I had to stay on ours while they fought and took the ships, crew, passengers and cargo.
Each time Mr Tombs took command of the captured ships as we escorted them back to Antigua for the cargo to be sold. The passengers and crew were held for ransom though the crews were never repatriated and had to be sold off to whoever coughed up the money. Some of them finished up as pirates for us to later fight again.
In another two fights, we lost the ships and several of our men to both cannon fire and the hand to hand fighting. Mr Shelby was one of them, cut in half by a cannon ball. One minute he was standing there on the poop deck and suddenly in a shower of blood and gore, his upper torso fell to the deck and stayed upright for a couple of seconds before falling over sideways. His face held a surprised expression on his face as he keeled over. I saw this because in that fight, I had taken over the helm to release Nugent to help in the boarding which didn't happen. A simultaneous broadside from both ships caused us to part and it was then just a gun battle which we won, at cost.
We limped back to Antigua and spent a month there for refitting and this time I was allowed to go ashore. William had bought me some new clothes and said that he had business with the Governor but I could go and visit the town. I was delighted with this and got dressed and on the foredeck was surprised to see Digby standing next to him by the gangplank.
`Digby. You will keep Jim by your side and see that he comes to no harm. Just keep him away from the women. They can cause more harm than a man,' he said with a twinkle in his eye.
I didn't object to the stricture placed on us such was my excitement at going ashore and really enjoyed the walking round the town and seeing the natives, black men, gaudily dressed and full of laughter and music. What a noisy place the taverns were. Full of drunken seamen, not only from our ship, but others in the harbour. There were also many women in the same state as the men, half dressed and just as drunk. Kissing the men while having their tits pulled out of their shirt fronts and fondled. We sat and drank some ale, watching the goings on and seeing odd couples going upstairs to what obviously were bedrooms.
`Wouldn't you like to go to bed with a woman Digby?' I asked.
No Jim,' he said, putting his hand over mine. I'd rather go to bed with you,' he smiled.
A bed would be better than the rope locker,' I said with a smile and had my hand squeezed in reply. Will...the Captain gave me some money to spend. Shall we see if we can get a bed?'
`I'd like that Jim,' he said still smiling. With that, I got up and went to the tavern keeper and paid for a room and had some chit of a girl show us upstairs. The room was filthy but at least it had a bed there. With the door closed, we went into each other's arms grinning like little monkeys because we kissed and held each other tight. It only took us a few seconds to get our clothes off to show each other that we were up and ready for action. We fell onto the dirty bed and I quickly took the head of his erection into my mouth, sucking and chewing on him.
Turn round Jim,' he gasped, so that we can do it to each other at the same time.' This sounded a good idea and so, without letting him go from my mouth, I wriggled my way round until I was able to poke my prick into his mouth and have him begin to do the same to me as I was doing to him. This was my first in this position doing what I liked and having it done to me at the same time. Also, I was getting a very close look at the balls that held the sperm that I liked to have in my mouth, to taste and swallow. With one hand holding the base of his cock while I sucked, my other hand now fondled the balls beneath my nose.
We both came with glorious passion and continued to suck and mouth our cocks till they became limp. Then it was to hold each other and kiss while still trying to make the other's prick rise up again. It took an hour before he was up and behind to give me a good reaming up my backside and it was much better on the bed than bent over a coil of rope. Then it was my turn to pleasure him the same way and it was nice to lay with him close up to me for us to sleep away the afternoon.
I was woken up by having Digby sucking on my cock and pushed him off, rolling him over onto his stomach and getting astride of him and forcing my swollen piece of meat between the cheeks of his bum until I found the hole for it to go up into.
God, this is just like the first time I was fucked,' he gasped beneath me. Harder! Harder!' he urged, and I did so and came with a massive outflow of semen into him.
`Semen from one seaman to another seaman,' I laughed as I fell onto his back panting. He gurgled with delight at the joke and I could feel his inner stomach muscles squeezing my prick inside him as he laughed.
He was still laughing when I pulled out of him and found that at least the room had a bowl of water for me to wash myself. I had to use the dirty bed sheet to dry myself though. I turned to the bed and saw that he was waggling his erection and grinning at me.
Come and sit on this Jim,' he said holding it upright. I want to see your face as it slides up into you.'
Great idea,' I said as I got astride his thighs on my knees and moved my bum till I felt the head of his cock prod me, and with his hand keeping it upright, slowly lowered myself down onto his upstanding prick and my heart glowed to see the joy on his face as I slowly sank down, feeling it fill me as never before and I smiled as I came to rest, sitting on his thighs. It feels lovely.'
Lovely?' he cried. It's fucking great!' And it was and the beauty of it was being able to see his smiling face as I rode up and down on his shaft and his hands came up to my hips to help me as he neared his climax and began lifting his hips as he shot his seed up into me.
That was a lovely time up there Jim,' Digby said to me as we sat back down in the tavern with a tankard of ale. Now I'm starving, you?'
`Yes, let's eat,' and so we had a meal there and wished that we hadn't bothered for it was nowhere as good as Cookie's. We left most of our meal and went back to the ship for William refused to sleep ashore and having been in one of the rooms, could understand why. Also, he wanted to stay on board to supervise the repairs and see that none of our stores were stolen.
I saw to William's dinner and even accepted his invitation to sit down and actually dine and share some wine with him. In spite of the state of our ship, he was in a rather happy mood what with all the booty that was being sold. The excitement of the day ashore hadn't abated and I couldn't wait to get into bed with William and have him stroke my naked body before rolling me over and fucking me.
I washed him when he'd finished and I surprised him by getting on the bed and running my teeth up and down his soft penis and getting it all into my mouth to suck on. I then took both of his balls into my mouth and rolled them round very carefully which I think pleased him. We kissed and he stroked my back as I half lay on top of him, fondling his cock and wondering how long it would take to rise up again for me to enjoy having him back inside me.
`How was your day ashore with Digby?' he asked.
`He was very nice,' I replied with a giggle and he smiled, guessing that we'd had sex together.
`You've been with me now for nearly three years Jim and I'm pleased the way you are growing. Both in stature and seamanship. So much so that you will no longer be the cabin boy and powder monkey.' Dreaded thoughts suddenly raced through my mind at this.
`You're not going to leave me ashore William?' I asked alarmed, sitting up and looking down at him.
No Jim,' he chuckled and pulled me back down and kissed me. You might be young but I'm promoting you to be my third mate. I'm making Davis my number two.'
`You're kidding me?' I said sitting up again.
`No I'm not,' he laughed, pulling me down again.
`Oh William. I do love you,' I said as I hugged him.
You won't love me having to get up for the four o'clock watch in the mornings,' he said still chuckling, while I'm still here in this warm bed.'
You beast!' I cried, pounding his chest with my fist. Will Digby still be on the four to eight watch?'
`Yes, but I won't have the two of you fucking each other whilst on watch you understand,' he said with a stern voice.
`Yes sir. Does this mean that I can't sleep with you anymore?' I asked, unable to keep the tremor out of my voice.
`No. The whole crew know that I'm fucking you so why should I change what I like doing? And if you were to pay attention to what you've got in your hand, you'll find that it's ready again to do just that.' I gave his erection a squeeze before letting go and rolling over and raising myself up onto my knees.
`All I'm going to say Jim is that you don't let me down, for if you do, I'll kick your arse all round the deck and then give you to old Cookie as a bed mate,' and then he stuck his cock up my backside and I smiled as he began to fuck me for the second time that night.
I now had to work twice as hard for I was still doing my exercises, sword play, navigation learning but now having to spend a lot of time with Davis to learn about being a gunnery officer. Officer! I like that title and I had only just reached the age of fifteen.
Digby was delighted for me and the next time we were naked together, he made a joke of now asking this officer's permission to get behind him and stick a lowly helmsman's prick up the officer's bum.
