The Captain's Daughter

Chapter 6

Lucy

"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." He winks at me.

"You must be desperate," I laugh as I take a bite of my sub.

"Why do you say that? He questions me with a crossed brow.

"Cause you don't even know me, and after I nearly tore your ear off I am surprised you're even talking to me you must have balls."

"Biggest balls you've ever seen." He rubs his package.

"Unlike Tucker who will never have kids now thanks to miss nutcracker." Dylan chuckled.

"Shut the f**k up." Tucker smacks Dylan on the arm.

I did feel bad now for overreacting but I was hurt that Tucker let that wench talk to me the way she did. I've had pent up feelings since that night.

"I'm sorry Tucker." I stand up and take my half-eaten sub and place it on the counter I walk out.

Tucker

"Seriously Dylan? I shook my head at him.

"What? He shrugged his shoulders like he didn't get it.

"What happened anyways for her to go ballistic??

She was over at my house last week and some chick that I used to bang came over and found us together but it wasn't like what you're thinking.

I was helping her out she was really drunk. Anyway, Becky, the bïtch said some pretty shitty things to Lucy.

"Damn...

"I told him that this woman would freak." Chester butted in, letting the guys know he warned me.

"Do you like Lucy? Jasper asked as he leaned back in his seat.

"What's it to you?

"Well if she's a free game or is she off-limits? The guys all look at me.

"Anyone of you touches her I'll break your face."

"So are you two together? Tommy asks.

"No, but I would like to explore things."

"Good luck with her dad here." Tommy laughed.

"Is he that bad?

The guys all avoid my eyes.

"Let's just say he'll probably toss you off the damn boat if you hurt her." Dylan chuckled. You'll wish it was your balls.

"Then I'll wait until we dock."

"You'd wait that long to get some p***y? Jasper leaned in rubbing his hands together.

"f**k I don't know, I'm not good at relationships or being more than f**k buddies."

"Dude, be careful. She's not one of the whores you take home." Chester says as he cleared his plate.

"I know." I rub the back of my neck.

Intercom:

"Guys enough gossiping are you going to make my daughter do all the hard work? We hear her dad over the intercom.

We hurry up to the deck. Lucy was already suited up and lowering a cage.

Damn all by herself. I hurry over and help her with the next one.

"I don't need you our help." She grabbed for the next cage and hoisted it up and held it on the edge of the boat. The boat tipped and her hand let go of the cage and it slipped into the water before it was secure.

"s**t! She screamed as she jumped up on the ledge.

"Lucy, get down," I yell.

"f**k Lucy, off the ledge." Her dad yelled out over the intercom.

"She grabbed the pulley with the hook and she suddenly jumped off into the choppy water below.

"Help her!!! Her dad yelled.

I looked for something for her to hold onto. Chester ran over and tossed a life preserver. She grabbed it. She got the cage hooked up then she swam towards the boat. The waves were crashing over her. Taking her under. My heart was racing.

She got to the ladder that was on the side. She started climbing up. My heart was pounding so hard. I seriously thought she was gone. Chester, and I lift her up and over the edge of the boat.

She collapsed to the floor of the boat.

The captain came over.

"What the f**k Lucy?? You could have gotten yourself killed." He was pissed.

"Well, I'm still here." Her lips were blue her teether was chattering. She sat up shivering.

"Why would you jump over the edge??

"Cause I messed up. I let go of the cage before it was hooked."

"It's not worth your life." He says with pain in his voice.

"I thought you would be pissed that I lost a cage."

"Seriously you think I give a s**t about a damn cage??

"I don't know." Her lips quivered.

Tears descended down her pale looking face. I helped her up.

"I'm sorry ok? She walked off into the boat.

"Guys, what the hell happened? He looked at us.

"She was doing it all by her self."

"You f****d up don't let it happen again, she's all I have left. Please protect her."

"I'm sorry." I felt terrible.

"Go find her...he snapped.

"The rest of you get back to work. And don't mess this up. Those caged are expensive." He shouted as he walked off.

Chester, and Dylan both shook their heads.

"What??

"Dude, what were you doing??

"Me, she...

"You messed up."

"It all happened so fast...I tried to fucking... she wouldn't let me."

I walked off feeling a mixture of pissed and relieved. Pissed I was to blame but relieved that it turned out the way it did. I've heard way too many tragic stories of people dying in the water.

I walked below the deck I searched the quarters. I found her in one of the rooms. She was lying down on the top bunk wrapped in a blanket.

"Lucy??

"Leave me alone." I could still hear her chattering teeth.

"You should have a warm shower," I suggest.

She sits up and slides off the bed. Will you help me?

"Okay." I wrapped my arms around her. Even with the blanket around her, I could feel how cold she was.

I led her out of the room and down to the washroom. It was pretty snug. I turned on the shower.

I kept my arms around her. I'm pretty sure if I let go she would fall to the ground.

The boat tipped making us fall against the shower I didn't have time to prepare for the fall. She landed on top of me.

"s**t sorry." She hurried to get up.

"I like this. Nothing like a woman on top." I joke. Her eyes sink into mine.

She slaps my chest and peels herself off me.

"Out! She points to the door.

"You don't need a spotter, do you? I ask hoping she asks me to stay. Having her on top made me want her so bad.

"No, I don't need a spotter. Just listen for the thumb when I fall over."

"Alright.' I lean in I watch as her eyes widen and her pulse seems to elevate.

"Don't be scared."

I pause just as I move in.

"Don't you dare." She pushes away holding onto the wall.

"Out and no peeking."

"Come on just a little? I smirk biting my lip holding in my groan.

She turns and drops the blanket...holy s**t. Her body was like an hourglass the sexiest silhouette.

"Evil...I growl as I retreat out of the washroom. I wait outside the door just in case.

The sweet scent of vanilla spills out of the washroom when she exits...

"Damm...I say as she walks out and heads back to her room. The door clicks closed. The towel was so short that her long slender legs went on for days. I could see her ass cheeks peeking out. Her tight ass was perky as the towel hugs her body. I wanted to be that towel. Be wrapped around her. I need space. I go back up to the deck.

The Captain called me up.

Great, still in trouble.

I slowly make my way over. I reach the top and enter the captain's perch.

"Hey, Captain." I make myself known.

"How is she doing?

"She had a shower, that should warm her up."

"Okay good, I'm sorry for losing my temper. I was wrong. I was just quick to react and I blamed you. Sorry."

I was not expecting this.

"I don't blame you, sir, I should have been faster to react it just all happened so fast. I told her to let me help her but she was stubborn and wouldn't let me help her."

"Are we going to have trouble here?

Should I send you back?

"I hope you won't. But I understand if you think I'm not right here."

"Just get along. Please these waters are no place for bad tempers and mistrust.

Try and work together."

"I will do my part, sir."

"Call me Jax...

"Ok."

"You can go." He says casually.

"K Jax, I'm sorry for what happened."

"She's all I have, treat her right, please."

He turns to face me.

"I will Jax." I nod as I walked out.

I see her sitting on a tackle box...I walk over and take a seat beside her.

"Lucy?

She was looking out at the water her eyes were so beautiful as I see the water reflecting off them.

"What? She says not even breaking eye contact with what she was focused on.

"Can we start over and be friends?

Her head whips around and now her eyes are on mine.

"You want to be friends? She seems surprised.

"Yes! I actually meant it. Another new thing for me.

"I guess." She shrugs her shoulders as she could care less.

"Damn, tell me how you really feel."

"It's best we are friends anyways. I couldn't give you anything more."

Then she's thought about it.

"Would you want more? I lean in and tuck her hair behind her ear. She moaned from my touch.

"I couldn't even if I wanted to."

"Why's that? I'm curious.

"Just not in the right place."

"I could be everything you've never known."

Her eyes swelled up with tears.

"No. I've already had everything with someone."

"Are you still together?

She abruptly stands up and walks over to the side of the boat. My heart raced still anxious from what happened earlier. I am at her side.

"Talk to me." I lean in and see more tears spilling down her face now.

"Talking doesn't help." She softly whimpers. Her eyes float up and stare into mine.

"Then don't talk about it." I brush my thumb over her hand.

"We should get back to work."

She walks off over to Chester and Tommy.

She's breaking my heart...
