When his father finally closed his eyes in death,
Joey went to the Frenchman who was lying on the
bed in his parents room. I need to bury my father,
he pleaded. You must allow me to do this in the
name of decency.
Sebastien Lachance nodded, and with that strange
accent said, I will permit it. But what will I get in
return?
Joey blinked. I don t understand. His breathing
grew more rapid as the Frenchman approached.
He reached out and touched his cheek. I want you
to sleep with me in this bed tonight, he said softly.
No, Joey jerked away from him. I ll never
do& that& with you. I don t think I have ever
encountered a viler man than you. I come here asking
to bury my father and you ask for sex in exchange?
I never actually asked you for sex, Joey, he
murmured, with a soft smile playing around his
mouth. I only asked you to sleep with me in the bed.
Although if you wish to&
Joey flushed. You play with my head.
He threw back his head and laughed. You wish
for me to play with more than that I think, but you are
too bashful to ask for it.
You are the most arrogant of& Joey sputtered,
but his heart was racing.
Sebastien sobered. Coming closer, he met his eyes.
When the time comes, you will beg for it. Joey
looked away. Alors, bury your father. I am sorry for
your father s death. It was so unnecessary and&
Save your sympathy, rogue. I want none from
you, Joey spat. It was one of your men who killed

him. Save your guilt. I only want to bury my father
and then hope that you will soon be gone from this
house& back to your& ship& or what ever it is you
sailed in on.
Sebastien sighed, rubbing his jaw thoughtfully.
Tell me, Frenchman, Joey challenged him with
his eyes, what did bring you and your cut-throat,
murdering men to my home? Were you on the run
from the authorities? Were you close to having your
necks stretched by the noose?
He laughed. Nothing so& ah& dramatic, boy.
Boy? I have you know that now my father has
died, I am head of this household. I am a man.
Sebastien Lachance came closer to him. Really?
he drawled. Prove it.
Do you feel my heart thudding in my chest, young one?
He asked Dino. My pulse is racing, my heart is now on
fire and this is the first time in my mortal life, I have
experienced such emotions.
I feel them in you, Dino whispered, but of course
Joey couldn t hear him.
Dino watched his own past spirit seduce the mortal
Joey with his smile and his words, although he never
touched him inappropriately in any way.
Are you sure you wish to remain on that cold,
hard floor? Sebastien asked him, looking into his
eyes. Tonight, you could sleep beside me in the bed
and I could give you what you want.
Joey took a step backward. I want nothing from
you, he told him defiantly. I will remain on the
floor.
Dino chuckled at the same time as Sebastien did.

Joey had put up some resistance despite his obvious
lust for the Pirate Captain.
That night, he watched as the boy lowered himself
to the floor beside the pirate s bed once again.
Sebastien stood in front of him with a candle in his
hand.
You hurt my feelings, he whispered, his voice
laced with humor. The fact that you would prefer
the hard floor to my hard manhood distresses me
greatly.
Joey glanced at him. You are disgusting. And
besides, you have no feelings to hurt, so how can you
be distressed?
Sebastien laughed and slowly began to undress. He
made sure Joey saw him as he took off his boots, his
shirt, then his pants. He stood boldly in front of
where he lay, fully erect.
Joey couldn t look away. He had never seen a more
beautiful man and his groin ached as he ran his eyes
over the smooth hard contours of his body.
His eyes came to settle on his sex. It was smooth
and hard, titling upward. He could practically taste it
in his mouth.
He tormented me, Joey said suddenly. And oh, how he
enjoyed it.
Dino laughed slightly. Looks like he wasn t the
only one enjoying it.
Every night he did the same thing just before
we d go to sleep. He d slowly strip off his clothes,
making sure I saw every curve, every muscle. I was
going half out of my mind with desire.
Why must you undress in front of me like that?

Joey exploded with anger one night as the Pirate
Captain stood there completely naked in front of him,
running his own hands seductively over his chest and
down to his cock.
Where would you have me undress? He winked
at him.
Not in front of me, Joey spat. You think you are
a gentleman, but you are not.
I never said I was a gentleman, he smirked. I m
a pirate or have you forgotten?
No, I haven t forgotten, Joey snapped.
Are you hard? He asked him softly.
No, and even if I was, Joey sputtered, the ache in
his groin becoming unbearable, it wouldn t be any of
your business. It would have nothing to do with
you.
Ah, but that s where you are wrong, Joey. It has
everything to do with me. I could help you with that
if you d let me, he whispered softly.
Joey turned on his side away from him. I don t
need your help, he said.
But in his own way, Sebastien was a gentleman, and
although, he taunted me, he never forced himself on me. For
a pirate, he was amazingly civilized. I was angry with him
for taunting me but that only served to spur him on. It
entertained him, convinced him of how aroused I was by his
nudity. He was so beautiful. He was always laughing at
me, fully aware of the effect he was having. He flirted with
me without mercy.
Joey laughed as he explained. You see, he knew it
was only a matter of time before I was at his feet. Anyway,
when I see us then, it fills me with such warmth. Dino, I
120

wish I could explain it to you. Perhaps you can feel it in
me. Just know that I was falling in love, deeply, totally,
helplessly in love.
Dino watched Joey s desire for the Pirate Captain
grow stronger and stronger. At night, he could no
longer sleep. He woke up, caught in the throes of
passion, his sex hard, moving around on the hard
floor, cursing Sebastien Lachance. Knowing the object
of his desire slept so close made it worse.
Why didn t I go to him? Joey answered Dino s
unspoken question. Pride, maybe. I came from a higher
class. I was his superior. I was not going to beg for the
touch of a cutthroat pirate.
Then one night, Sebastien walked into the salon
and told Joey to come with him.
Joey s eyes widened. He stood up. Don t tell me,
you are going to do me a great favor, and leave my
house finally?
No, he smiled, although I promise you, I will do
that soon.
Joey sighed. The thought that he would leave was
somehow disturbing to him now. Nonsense! What
do you want?
For you to help me with my bath. His eyes
twinkled in the most devilish of ways as he smiled at
Joey.
Help you with& Joey sputtered. I ll help drown
you, if you like, you ill-mannered savage.
Sebastien laughed heartily. He took his arm and
dragged him to the awaiting bath.
Dino wanted to tell Joey he didn t look as if he
were protesting too hard, but he couldn t, so he
121

smiled to himself.
Sit there on the other side of the bath and simply
hand me the towel when I get out. Not too difficult, is
it? Unless, you want to come in with me and help me
wash? Some areas are difficult to reach.
He was laughing and Joey was as red as a beet.
No& no& I ll wait here. Hurry up. My life does not
revolve around your bathing habits. I had servants do
this for me at one time before your men& murdered
them.
He took off his clothes and laid them aside. He
reached around to untie his hair. The thick black
