Eric grinned as he left her. Above decks, he was a tyrant, making his men preload half the cannon, carronades, and long muskets. If unused for a day, those barrels would all have to be acid cleaned, and his men looked at him as though he'd lost sense.
OK, maybe he was overcautious, but Bianca was on board, so he would do as he felt. It was his ship.
The cabinboy, Jean, announed that her Grace was asleep, and the ship grew quiet. None wanted to wake their personal princess.
Finally, Eric snuck in, laying out his boots, shirt sword and pistol by the chair. Jean would deliver fresh pressed pants before he arose.
Then he slid into bed, snuggling in behind her. A bit of warm wine wet both her cleft and his cock, and he lifted her cheek to more easily slide between her legs and up into her. With his arm hugging her, a hand cupping her breast and his face in her hair, he was out.
Smashing sounds of a cannon shot hitting the deck awoke them, and he came, startled into her. Almost immediately, the boom of the offending cannon was heard.
Still dripping from her, he grabbed his things and leaped onto deck, calling 'go in the head, it's iron lined'
He got a report that an unmarked vessel had crept up behind them withdark sails. Then he remembered his instruction. "Gunny, fire at will." The preloaded cannon and carronade on the stern, carefully loaded and measured for range barked out their own thunder, and the sound of screams and smashed timber could be hear.
"Sir, I make it a converted corvair...not fully armed...she's a pirate."
Eric's grin was nasty. He was full crewed and had the longer ranged weapons. "Fire the 15 pounder across their deck." The heavy cannon shook the whole ship and was deafening, but the enemy mainsail cam crashing down. "Musketeers, wipe them up! Don't stop until they drop sail." The pther ship's crew would soon know they were outgunned 2 to 1, and could hardly turn without a mainsail. "Let them know when they beg for terms."
It was only then that he realized he had no pants. Laughing, he called Bianca back to bed. "Wife, come to your champion, suck him clean, then swallow him, for today we stop a pirate and claim a prize for Germany's fleet against the British. Were I allowed, She'd be French in you honor, yet I shall rename her 'Graceful Bianca'.
