The Captain's Daughter

Chapter 5

Tucker

I can't believe she's here. The girl I haven't been able to stop thinking about. The moment I saw her I felt like this was a sign that maybe I have a chance with her. After Becky exited my life I couldn't get this other woman out of my head she invaded my dreams making me wish that we may bump into one another again.

I'd been going to the bar where we bumped into each other hoping she would show up, but she never did.

Chester introduced me to the crew. They were all nice but I could tell they were all going to try and have there way with the captain's daughter.

I finally found out her name. So now I can have a name to go work the beautiful girl in my wildest dreams, Lucy.

Dylan and Chester brought me up to meet the captain. We heard Lucy saying, how she thinks Chester is nice and the rest of us our basic asses. Chester is probably the nicest of us guys. I don't know the others that well but I have seen them around town before. Usually having some side piece stuck to them.

"Did I just hear my name? Chester says you can tell Lucy had not heard us come up. She turned around slowly.

She walks right up to me and suddenly I felt her knee hit me hard in my family jewels. I was not expecting that.

I bit my lip holding in the need to swear.

"LUCY?? What the hell? Her dad gripped her arm and pulled her off to the side.

Chester just shook his head at me. I hadn't done anything. She can't be mad at me for what? Not reaching out after that crazy night? Yes, Becky said some nasty s**t but I didn't expect that.

She was the one that left that night. I wanted to talk I wanted to make sure she was ok. She's all I have been thinking about for a week.

Lucy walks over and pushed passed us and heads down the steep stairs.

"I'm sorry Captain," I say as I walk over to him.

"No, I am sorry. I'm not sure what that was about she's kind of going through something."

"PMS, Dylan chuckled covering his mouth.

"No, she's been through some tough s**t, I brought her out here cause she was wasting her life away. Every night I found her passed out drunk on some floor, stairwell, or alleyway."

Damn, I knew she's been through something bad.

"We will leave her alone," I say even though I couldn't stop thinking about her. How all I have wanted to do since I met her was get to know her. Like seriously. I've never cared to let anyone in or cared for anyone. But her I want.

"Thank you Tucker, Dylan I hope you'll let the others know she is not to be messed with. Cause I am afraid for all of your safety. The nut hit was not even close to what she could do to you. Trust me she's learned from me."

"Got it." Dylan put his hands up.

"Alright Dylan untie the boat, the other can help." The Captain gave his orders.

"Get the gear set up for our first drop. The tanks are cleaned and ready.

Tucker, it's nice to meet you, I hope you're ready for this?

"I'm ready, thank you for this opportunity."

"You're welcome if you need help navigating or finding your way just ask."

"Okay." I extend my hand and her dad shook my hand hard and respectfully.

"Be careful mate, you might want to steer clear of her." He warned me.

"I'll be fine." My balls still felt like someone had hammered their knee against them nearly shattering them. The throbbing didn't help the hard-on I had when I walked in and saw her.

We walked down to the lower deck.

The other guys were walking over to Lucy who was getting stuff ready she had obviously done this before.

Tommy reached her and said something and suddenly she grabbed him by the ear and dragged him over and pressed his face into the side of the boat.

"What did you say?

"s**t, I just thought you'd like to share my bed, have a little fun." He winced as she twisted his ear then let go.

"Leave me the fück alone, all of you."

She screamed and walked off. Her voice was shaky and coarse.

Chester and I both looked at each other.

"Did you hear her everyone leave her alone and we will all live in peace."

Dylan says.

Tommy walked off holding his ear that was bright red.

Dylan and Chester caught me up on where all the ties were and where all the equipment was kept.

Soon the boat was departing we were making our way out to the open sea.

Lucy came back out and kept to herself. She was getting the lure ready to be dropped with the cages.

I needed to clear the air with her, if we are going to be working together it'll be

a shitty time if we are at each other's throats. Cautiously I make my way over to her.

"What do you want?? She asks as I walk up behind her.

"A truce," I reply.

She spun around and smirks.

"Guess we should. I'm sorry for kneeing you in the nuts."

"Guess I deserved it."

"You're not stalking me, are you??

"Hahaha no." I run my hand through my hair.

"How's miss nasty?? She c****d her eyebrow at me.

"She's gone." I step closer to Lucy.

"She was a winner." She laughs as she worked on one of the pulleys. Damn her sweet laugh tugged at my heart.

"I'm sorry she said such hurtful words."

She stopped what she was doing and brushed her hair out of her face. Damn, she's beautiful. The view behind her was off the coast it made her stand out like a glowing halo was around her.

"Why do you care, it's not like we know each other."

"No, but I know it couldn't have felt nice to hear what she said."

I move in even closer. We are now right in front of each other.

"Tucker, back to work." Her dad speaks over the intercom.

I gave him a wave and got back to work, I look over and see Lucy smirking again.

"Are you laughing at me? I ask as I get the cages lined up.

"Just funny you getting in trouble." She stood up with her hands on her hips.

"Better than getting my balls slammed."

She titled her head like she was examining me like I was some foreign creature.

"What?? I ask, wanting to know what she is thinking.

"Too bad you're a bad boy, I could have had fun with you."

She winks and walks off leaving me with a hard-on again and this tingle in the pit of my stomach. Damn, why do I want her so badly?? I focus back on the task at hand.

Lucy

I walk off feeling strangely giddy. I'm not quite sure why I said what I did but it's true, he's a bad, boy and he could be fun if we just didn't make it a thing. He obviously doesn't do relationships and I am not ready for anything serious either. But it doesn't mean I don't still get horny. It might be nice to get this out of the way. It's not something I would normally do but my life is anything but normal.

I grab a water and head back out to the deck. The crew was getting the cages ready to be dropped.

I hurried over. I get into my spot and we wait for my dad's ok, to drop.

"Let's do this crew." My dad shouted over the intercom system.

I helped Chester on the left side of the boat. We had two pulley systems one on each side. It took two people to lift up the cages.

We dropped one cage...then we moved along the water and dropped another.

We did this 10 times until the first set of cages were all submerged in the water.

We still had a ways to go as we made it further along the ocean. We had to do his three more times.

My body was screaming at me as I haven't worked this hard in a long time. My fingers hurt. My muscles ached.

I gave Chester a high five.

"Nice job, Lucy."

"Thank you, you did really good too."

"How long have you worked with my dad??

"This last year."

"Do you like it? I attempt to be friendly.

"I don't mind it, the money is good and it feels so damn good when we get that great catch."

The boat tipped and I lost my balance and fell to the wooden planks of the boat.

I feel hands on my waist they helped me up. I turn around and see Tucker.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"You killed it." He seemed genuine with his compliment.

"Thanks." I tuck my hair behind my ear feeling my body fill with tingles.

"My body is killing me."

The other guys walked over.

"Nice job newbie." Tommy nudged his hip against mine.

"Thanks."

"Do you guys want something to eat??

"Are you going to poison us now??

Tommy jokingly poked at me.

"Now where would be the fun in that be? I'd miss throwing you off the boat.

I poked him back.

"Hahaha." Guess I better watch myself."

"That goes for all of you." I point at all over them.

"I'll see what we have anyways so if you want to eat follow me."

I walk off and hear feet steps behind me. I walk through the boat and enter the rather large kitchen and sitting area.

I searched the fridge and found what I thought would be nice. I quietly zone in on what I was doing.

My face warmed when I felt someone watching me, slowly look up and caught Tucker starring at me. He winked at me making me bite down on my lip.

I wasn't watching what I was doing as I cut into the cheese. I feel the sting of the blade slice across my finger.

I quickly put my finger in my mouth and walk over to the sink and rinse my finger. I feel warmth close by as a body stood behind me.

"Let me help you." Tucker's voice whispered by my neck making my body tremble. His arms came around me and his hands gently rest on mine.

"You cut yourself good."

"Just a little knick." My voice came out shy and soft. His head came in close next to mine.

Gripping the steel handle of the faucet, I turned off the water he grabbed me some paper towel and wrapped my finger. I look up nervous to look into his eyes. His eyes burrowed into mine.

"Don't be scared of me." His face softened. Like he was trying to convince me just as much himself that he wouldn't hurt me. I move away.

"I'm not scared of you," I say as he's again was by my side.

"You look scared."

"You make me nervous but not in a scared way more of an unknown with you."

"I could be what you need." His soft whisper made me close my eyes in reaction to his words.

"I don't need anyone." I had someone he was the one. I lick my lips then move away from Tucker needing space, I got back to making the subs.

Tucker and Chester helped me. The guys all took a seat around the wrap-around banquet booth seat. I took a seat between Tucker and Chester.

"So, Lucy which one of us is going to win your heart? Tommy asks as he took a bite of his sub.

"Cause after you making this delicious food I will marry you right now."
