We turned and began heading towards the east. Our destination was Europe. Thomas made the point of skirting the coast of Florida. Just to make sure we realized that there was no United States. We looked across the deck at where Miami should have been. I had been there many times. The coastline was easy to recognize. There was absolutely nothing there. Amber and I simply laughed. Who would have guessed a pleasure cruise would end up like this.
The Lady Isabella was the daughter of Margaret, Duchess of Parma, Governor of the Netherlands. Margaret was the sister of King Phillip II of Spain. Isabella's grandfather had been Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor. She was quite literally, a Royal snob.
She was young, probably her late teens. She was a combination of several Italian bloodlines and a few German. She had long straight black hair. It was always tucked back behind her head with pins and some sort of netting. Her eyes were a dark brown set over a thin nose. Her lips were full and usually turned down in a perturbed frown. Her skin was a little lighter than Anna's. She was only two inches over five feet with a thin body. The start of hips and breasts were starting to show.
She was barely seen outside her cabin the first week aboard. The same cabin I had woken up in was now hers. When she was seen, she was fully dressed in dark black heavy looking dresses of silk and velvet. The stitching looked like it had taken years to complete. She refused to speak to anyone but Anna. The large Viking looking men seemed to terrify her, while Amber and I must have looked like we were beneath her. Thomas was amused by everything she did. He hadn't even bothered trying to talk to her.
Today she actually came above deck. It was mid morning. We were two days from turning east from the coast of Florida. The wind was barely blowing. Amber and I were flirting with Thomas as we all sat on the couch on the upper deck. She appeared at the top of the steps with a nervous look over her shoulder. I could hear Jon laughing loudly. Her eyes searched for Anna. A little nervous she stood for a second, and then went to the rail.
"Can I help you, Lady Isabella?" Thomas asked. It was the first words he had spoken to her.
Her head turned to look over her shoulder at us. I saw her eyes glance down his body. Her cheeks seemed to color. She probably had never seen a man wearing nothing but a kilt.
"No. I don't need anything from you." She spoke English with a soft Italian accent. Her tone was authoritative, but unsure.
It caused Thomas to smile. Everything seemed to cause him to smile. He stood up and leaned over and gave both of us a deliberately long kiss. When he straightened, he was smiling even larger. Isabella had watched us wide-eyed. Her eyes got larger as he walked over to her. She turned and backed into the railing. Her hand reached behind her for support. I couldn't tell what was going through her head. Maybe, that he was going to kiss her.
He stopped two feet from her. His head tilted as he examined her face. She simply stared up at him, afraid to breathe. Finally, she spoke. "Why are you looking at me?"
"I'm trying to decide if you are beautiful." He answered. His heavy Irish brogue had left with the Spanish Captain.
Her mouth dropped open for a moment and then slammed shut. I could see her trying to swallow, but it was difficult. Amber was laughing at her reaction. I was giggling. Her cheeks turned a deep red under her brown skin. Angry eyes turned to us. She spoke quickly in what I guessed was Italian. Whatever she said caused Thomas to laugh loudly.
"What did she say?" Amber asked, curious.
Thomas looked at her. "I'm not sure you want to know. I wasn't aware a granddaughter to the Holy Roman Emperor knew those words."
"I want to know." I said as Isabella continued to glare at us.
Thomas shrugged and turned back to Isabella. "She said that you were common whores that couldn't get decent work screwing a pig."
Amber stood up and walked over to stand beside Thomas. She let her breasts press against his shoulder as he smiled down at her. Her finger tugged her dress lower so the start of her areola was showing. She turned and looked Isabella over slowly. Amber then ran her fingers over Thomas' chest. Sliding them through the hair.
Isabella's eyes followed her hand. Amber traced a line down is stomach and slid her hand into his kilt. Isabella's eyes went wider and she gasped.
"I wonder if she knows that your beautiful cock has been in both of our asses." She said sweetly.
Isabella's hand went to her mouth. I almost choked. Thomas was trying not to giggle. It gives a bad impression if the Captain of a pirate ship giggles. Something about maintaining fear with the hostages.
Amber kissed Thomas' shoulder and removed her hand from stoking his dick. Isabella couldn't help but stare down at the bulge that was lifting the kilt. Amber made sure the girl was looking and then tugged the kilt until it fell around his ankles.
"Didn't you tell Rachel that you had to test every single vessel that came aboard? Shouldn't you take her down below and make sure she knows how to screw?" She said sweetly as she looked back at Isabella.
Isabella stood motionless. Both hands were covering her mouth. She was staring up at Thomas. As if by gravity, her eyes would drift lower and then pop back up to his face. Thomas simply stared at her with his little sly grin. And then Isabella turned and slapped Amber across the face.
Amber raised a hand to where a delicate handprint was beginning to show. She looked up at Thomas and then back at the young girl. Amber was smiling when she reached out and slapped her back. Isabella stumbled back against the railing. Her hand went to her cheek.
Apparently, no one had ever slapped her before. She just stood there staring at Amber. And then Amber stepped forward and pulled her hand away from her face. With both hands gripping the elbows of the young girl, Amber kissed her.
Isabella's hands clenched tight. She didn't know what to do. There was nowhere to go. She was pressed tight against the railing. Amber tugged at her lower lip with her own and then she kissed her cheek lightly. Isabella's eyes were just staring at her. The second kiss was gentler. She grazed the bottom lip and then lightly licked the upper one trying to get the girl to relax her lips. Amber's hands slid down Isabella's arms to her wrists. She pressed them against her hips as she continued to kiss her. Isabella's hands relaxed and then slowly grabbed a handful of skirt. Amber's hand went to the back of Isabella's neck. Her fingers played with the bare skin. Isabella was kissing back, her eyes closed.
Thomas was watching with his head tilted in amazement. His eyes turned to mine and we stared at each other. We both shrugged. Amber finally broke free. Her hands were gentle as she ran her finger over the cheek she had slapped. Large brown eyes were looking at her. Amber smiled sweetly and kissed her again. Taking her by the hand she started down the steps. With a look over her shoulder, she wiggled a finger behind her back for us to follow.
I walked up to Thomas and watched them walk hand in hand down the steps and then turned to go into his cabin. Thomas was still standing with his kilt around his ankles.
"What do you think?" I asked him.
"I don't know. It's kind of difficult to maintain my dignity with my kilt around my ankles. You'll have the advantage I'm guessing." He said with humor.
I looked up at him, completely confused. "What advantage?"
He was chuckling happily at me. "Have you ever tried to run with a kilt around your ankles?"
