The Black Rise Ch 11

Lisa's entire body startled in surprise as she felt the gentle touch of a finger work its way up her spine, lifting the shirt she wore in the process. Her skin pebbled as she shuddered into the touch and she tensed, turning to look at the Captain. He smirked at her as he moved to take a knife from his belt and made quick work of the shirt she was wearing.

"You owe me for the shirt. Next time, you'll be expected to strip bare before you're tied up no matter the audience. Nod if you understand."

Lisa nodded.

The knife had its intended effect on Lisa, its proximity to her skin raising her adrenaline.

"Face forward. I wouldn't want to clip you in your pretty face."

It wasn't a punishing sting that met her back, rather a gentle stroke from one shoulder and down across her back to the opposite side. It didn't hurt at all, and she could feel the thickness of the strands as they traveled over her body. He continued this gentle petting of her with the flogger, alternating from shoulder to shoulder and Lisa could feel herself becoming less tense. He must have seen it to, and soon the flogger began to hit with a bit more force.

**

The Captain looked over Lisa's reddening back with growing lust. He wanted her introduction to the flogger to be as pleasant as possible, while still giving her a taste of what her expectations would be. As Lisa began to sink into the floggers' hits once again, he increased the force and saw her jerk slightly in her shackles. He kept this pattern up, letting her back heat under the flogger and therefore increase her ability to take harder and harder strikes.

It wasn't until he was giving her about half the force of what he needed Lisa to take that he paused and stepped up behind her, placing the flogger around her neck for her to hold, and wrapping his arms around her body. He reveled in the heat that her back was giving off, and the slight sheen of sweat that was building on her. Leaning down, he licked along the edge of her ear the same time one of his fingers found its mark and plunged through her wet folds. She rocked against him in obvious arousal.

"Mmmm, little one," the Captain groaned, "you take so well to the flogger."

Lisa inhaled sharply as the Captains fingers entered her pussy and gently explored within her. He toyed with her until he saw her legs were shaking and he backed away, leaving her in a sweet state of arousal. He licked his fingers before resuming her flogging, increasing the force of the hits once more. To his utter glee, she still seemed to be leaning into the flogging, rather than wilting from it.

Twice more he repeated the process of leaning against Lisa to finger her and then increasing the force of the hits. She was now taking a forceful flogging at the same time her arousal was at its peak, the evidence of which was shining on the inside of her thighs.

**

Absolute torture. Lisa's back was burning with each hit of the flogger, and every time she felt like dropping the little bell the Captain was at her back and between her thighs, driving her need for release higher. She couldn't control the tremor in her thighs at this point, and she was barely able to keep standing as each strike jerked her body this way and that.

And then he stopped the flogging again, and she held her breath as she waited for him to wrap himself around her. She startled when she felt his bare torso against her burning back. He had taken his shirt off and now they were skin against skin, and she couldn't deny that she loved the feeling. He moved against her and brought one hand to the nape of her neck while the other snaked around and teased her nipples with feather light touches.

"If you want to cum, you'll have to beg me for it, Lisa."

How could she possibly beg for it? Lisa heard the Captain chuckling behind her as his hand started to trail down towards her pussy.

"Come now, you can think of something."

She felt his heated breath against her neck as he breathed her in and she moaned in silence, sinking in her shackles against his body. She could feel his erection through his trousers and rubbed against it ever so slightly. Then she had an idea.

The Captain's fingers plunged into her pussy as she shook her bottom against him, begging him with her body for him to give her what she so desperately needed.

Her orgasm had her wretched in his arms, completely given over to her body's needs and without any shame for it. She let herself sink completely into him as she rode the waves of pleasure he had built in her. And he held her through it. He was as sturdy as the old sycamore she used to climb to evade her stepmother's attention and for a moment she felt safe. Lisa let her head fall against his shoulder as she took deep breaths to calm down.

"That was beautiful, little one."

Nathaniel stood once again at the helm of his ship with Lisa leaning against him. He had given her another shirt, but this time rather than attaching a chain to her, left her with just a collar around her neck. Today he was not worried about her causing trouble on the ship or dispelling herself to the waves around them. Lisa leaned on him with such an air of satisfaction that the men passing by smirked at him in knowing. Well, his reputation amongst the men was not suffering, that much was sure.

The Captain always enjoyed his time at the helm of the Black Rise. There was freedom on the seas that he had never felt during his childhood and when he had watched Lisa climbing the shrouds the previous day it seemed like she would flourish with the life he led. He wondered if she would choose this life if it was offered to her. Their deal did not extend past taking care of Governor Percy for her, so perhaps he had until then to show her the life she could lead, and particularly the pleasure he could provide her.

The sun was beginning to beat down on them, and Nathaniel did not want her fair skin to be reddened by it again; that was now his job.

"Lisa," he waited for her to look up to him, "can you find your way down to Neo on your own without causing any havoc?"

Lisa nodded enthusiastically.

"Do not test me, little hell-cat. Straight down to Neo or you'll be put right back on your leash."

'I understand'

"Off you go"

He watched as she skipped off to head down to the kitchens. Nodding to Jim, Jim headed down after her to make sure she found her way without getting into any trouble.

**

Lisa knew this was not the time to try anything like exploring the ship, which she did really want to do, since gaining the Captain's trust before they reached land was paramount. She needed to be allowed off of the ship, assess if the man they were meeting would help them, and escape if she believed he could not.

Neo greeted her with a wide smile when she reached him and set her to work right away. She enjoyed working in the kitchen. As a lady she was not allowed to help out in the kitchens since it would be an embarrassment, but now she was able to feel useful in a way she never had the opportunity to before. The majority of her time was spent with tutors, sitting silently during social visits, and of course hiding from her stepmother's attention.

Social situations were a particular ordeal for Lisa. Her stepmother had to have her present, but insisted she stay in a corner; she didn't want extra attention on her mute stepdaughter to embarrass her further. Lisa had learned early on that sitting silently was more difficult than you'd expect it to be for someone who was mute. She couldn't move and therefore she could not communicate. She would pretend to be part of the paintings around the sitting rooms she was stuck in; like a young girl happily lounging in a fairy-like garden or as a brave knight riding into battle on his speckled horse.

Lisa did not have to pretend to be a part of the paintings aboard The Black Rise.

The Captain sat at dinner with Lisa meekly kneeling beside him. She had made no trouble after the flogging earlier in the day, and she had seemed positively content when he picked her up from Neo. He smiled when he felt her head lay gently on his thigh and immediately began picking apart pieces of fish for her to eat. He smirked down at Lisa as she tried to avoid dropping any of the succulent fish. "Perhaps you should employ your technique from yesterday, little one?" That earned him a sharp glare.

After feeding Lisa, the Captain sat her up on his lap and she immediately wrapped herself around him. It took some control for him not to jolt in surprise when one of her hands reached down to his inner thigh and began to run sultry paths near his cock. He knew she could see the results of her 'handy work'. "I want you to seem interested in me, not give me blue balls hell-cat," he chuckled. Lisa moved her hand away quickly and blushed. To her credit, she recovered quickly, and began to run her hands along his torso, sometimes dipping in to touch his skin and sometimes reaching up to play with his hair.

The Captain left the galley early with Lisa in tow and took her to the railings. "I haven't let you look at the night sky since you've gotten here," and he gently took her chin and raised her gaze. "You've done well today little one and while you're under my care, if you do well you will be rewarded with fewer restrictions." He watched her look across along the horizon to see the stars reflecting on the water. If you did not look carefully, you could almost lose the divide between sky and ocean. It was as though they were sailing in the sky itself.

After a time, Lisa faced Nathaniel, 'I don't want to live a life where I can't see the night sky.'

Nathaniel reached up to her cheek and gently tucked some loose hair behind her ear. "Let's get back to the cabin before you get a chill."

**

Lisa felt the peacefulness of the day slip into familiar tension as Captain led her directly to the wooden post in his cabin.

"We will be reaching Veritous Port tomorrow, little-one. All of my girls excel at sucking cock, and you cannot be an exception... don't give me that look... You need to know the basics rather than nothing at all in case we need to put on a show."

'You're a cad."

"Absolutely, and you're going to prove to me you're willing to do this and anything required of you before I let you off of this ship. Understand?"

'Yes'

"Try again, girl. What will be expected of you tomorrow."

Sneering at the Captain, Lisa signed, 'Yes Master.'

"Good girl, now open your mouth."
