Captain Chuck's Bondage Cruise

[alura]

After being shoved around like a side of flapjacks by the ever perky hairdresser, I walked onto the gangplank at Nick's side trying to look cool and collected in my low rider jeans and halter top. But my ass was still killing me, so walking sexy wasn't as easy as it looked.

I caught Lord C's eyes and smiled thankfully. 'Great massage' I whispered in his mind. I don't know how he'd done it, but ever since he first snuck in there and freaked me out with his quiet laughter dancing around in my head, I'd been able to do it back. Only to him, though. Would've been nice for a few practical jokes to be able to do it to others, but despite my best efforts, I was still batting zero. 'Just wanted you to know, even though my ass still feels like a side of day old beef, it's not nearly as bad as it was. Remind me to make it up to you later when I'm not quite so indisposed, sweet cakes.'

He smiled widely, still amused by my earlier antics and my bold way of speaking. I'm sure he had plans to beat it out of me, somehow, but until then, I was holding my own, by gummies.

Then I saw Jade being led away by someone I'd never seen before. "Hey!" I squealed, running over to her, the pain of my first lesson in the dungeon all but forgotten. "Where the hell are you going, Jade? Have you been on this ship before? I don't know where a damned thing is and I need a hot tub and a margarita, poste haste!"
