WANTED CHAPTER 1 A FRIEND IN NEED
-
Sailor's Island tavern was full of pirates from all walks of life.
Why? Because Vyse had finally earned the nickname Legend, having brought Lord Zivilyn Bane to his knees. His achievements were too many to count and scattered all across the sky, no continent was to be visited without bumping into his name. He had collected bounties of the most notorious of pirates and brought glory and honor to everyone soaring the skies. The stories of his achievements had already grown out of proportions and into legends, securing him his new nickname.
The clamor in the tavern was deafening. Drinks were ordered, arguments were settled and pick-up lines flew in the air yet on every pirate's lips was the man of the evening,Vyse the Legend. Everyone wanted to have their voice heard and tell him a pirate story of their own, some about unimaginable treasure, others about their new discoveries and almost everyone about their adventures with the opposite sex.
"Vyse, you must have a story to tell as well", Domingo poured them more loqua from the bottle that had been brought to their table a few minutes ago. It was yet another gift from a fellow pirate.
"Sure", Vyse flashed a smile. "About what?"
"Come on, Vyse the Legend!" Belle said with admiration, clasping her hands together. "About foreign ladies! And forbidden love!"
"Uh... well..." Vyse felt uncomfortable under her gaze. He didn't really have stories about foreign ladies or love. In fact, he had never been in love.
"Come on, Vyse, don't keep us waiting!" Belle insisted.
Aika and Vyse shared a look. The brunette's confident, smug smile disappeared. Belle had unknowingly hit a sore spot in his self-esteem. As well as he had never fallen in love he hadn't either had an intimate relationship with someone. He had never seen it as a big deal until he had become Vyse the Legend. In his eyes, he couldn't be the highest ranking pirate without having experienced the one and only thing that was a complete mystery to him. Love, sex, all that.
"Well? Don't you have one?" Belle asked, eagerly anticipating an answer.
"To be honest, no." Vyse admitted, giving her a sheepish smile.
"Don't worry, you'll find the one for you", Polly intervened. She rubbed his shoulder encouragingly. It didn't make him feel any less self-conscious.
"I'm not looking for the one", Vyse said nonchalantly. "I just want to get it over with. You know, the sex. I'm already busy enough, I don't think I'd have the time or money to fall in love."
"That's awfully sceptic, isn't it?" Polly was the one to voice out what everyone was thinking. "Not like you at all."
"Have you ever been in love?" Belle asked, her eyes wide. "It doesn't matter whether you have time or not, it just happens! It's the bestest thing in the whole world!"
Vyse chuckled. He'd heard the stories of love and danger and all that, but they didn't make him want to fall in love. More like the opposite. He had all the people he cared for near him and to think that someone could outweigh them seemed impossible. Not impossible, because he didn't like to use that word, improbable. How could someone be more important to him than Aika? Or Fina? Or his father and mother?
"It doesn't really matter, does it?" Aika said cheerfully, smiling at him from across the table. "You're still a legend!"
"So, if you've never been in love are you also a virgin?" Belle continued, intrigued by his lack of knowledge. She had always been very popular with boys and men, mostly because of her lovely... assets, and she couldn't understand how someone had never experienced the thrill of love.
Vyse nodded and blushed, which was extremely rare. Belle had uncovered the truth, but that wasn't why he was feeling embarrassed, not at all. The problem wasn't with opportunities either, they came in all shapes and sizes constantly. Redhead, brunettes, blondes, Ixa'Takan, Yafotoman, Valuan, he could really afford to be picky. Women were practically throwing themselves at him. He had done his best to take advantage of the willing ladies, but when the time to perform had come... he had failed. Each time. No matter what. The humiliation of frequent failure was devastating to Vyse who refused to use the word impossible, even when it seemed like the only word to describe his situation. It was truly a dilemma he couldn't understand which made it so much worse.
He forced the uneasy thoughts out of his mind, promising himself that he would get rid of his virginity as soon as possible. It had to happen. The first one to agree to do it with him would be the one. Whoever, where-ever, whenever. He would succeed, somehow. He had to. It came so naturally to others, so why wouldn't he be able to do it as well? His smug smile returned, he felt much easier having made a conclusive decision.
The rest of the evening everyone subconsciously avoided the subject that had been a sore spot for Vyse. It didn't hinder their party in anyway, as the night progressed some pirates danced on their tables, some slept under their seats, some fell over with their chairs and some burst into song spontaneously. Everyone had a blast. Bottle by bottle they celebrated Vyse the Legend until the tavern had to close. Accompanied by his best friend, Vyse stumbled through the front door into the crisp night air. A gentle breeze felt refreshing on his face.
"Aika, we need to think of something", He said as they walked towards the Delphinus, holding his friend by her waist as she held him. "I don't want to be a virgin anymore."
"Don't worry, the right time will come", Aika said encouragingly, patting him on the back with a smile. She never failed to be cheerful.
Vyse let out a sigh. They walked in silence for a bit. It seemed like everyone else had already gone to sleep, there wasn't a single soul to be seen as they neared the Delphinus. To accompany them was the gentle night breeze that carried the exotic scent of Ixa'Taka on its back and the thousands of stars that lit up the night sky above them. Had they been lovers the night could've been magical.
"Sleep with me, Aika", Vyse eventually broke the silence, lowering his hand on her bottom.
"No! Stop asking!" She pushed him away, securing her backside with one hand as if she was still afraid he'd try something. It really hadn't been the first time Vyse had suggested such an arrangement to her. She had told him before she didn't feel comfortable doing such an intimate thing with her best friend. What if something changed? She didn't want to risk their friendship. It meant too much to her.
"Why not? Just once!" Vyse pleaded, taking a few steps closer to her. "I swear it'll be over quickly!"
Aika stopped him with a firm hand against his chest and eyes that signaled a warning. "No! Listen to yourself!"
The brunette sighed. He knew he wasn't acting like he usually did. Under any other conditions he wouldn't have begged, but he saw no other choice. Aika already knew what his problem was, she could be able to help solve it. Of course, he paid no heed to what it could do to their friendship but he wasn't thinking clearly.
"There's a limit to being best friends, Vyse! What would Fina think too?" Aika continued, resting one hand on her hip as she looked at her oldest, best friend.
"Why do you care about Fina? We won't tell her!" Vyse shrugged. He was acting bratty. He noticed it but couldn't help it.
Aika refused to answer, instead it was her turn to blush and turn awkward. She squirmed under his gaze, hoping that she could've been whisked away from the situation. Vyse had unknowingly uncovered a secret Aika had harbored for quite some time. The uncomfortable moment felt like it never ended.
"I... I care about her." She finally said, spilling the truth and her cheeks turning even redder. The silvite had occupied her thoughts for a long time. At first she had thought it had been because she was her friend but as time had passed and her thoughts had begun to involve different kinds of acts with Fina, she had realized her true feelings for her.
Vyse's eyes lit up with excitement. "You do? Really?"
Aika seemed to snap out of her gentle thoughts of her love for Fina and regained her attitude.
"Hey! It was your problem we were discussing, not mine!" She barked.
They looked at each other like dogs with their ears back for a brief moment, neither willing to give up. The brunette wanted confirmation for her feelings, details and so on and she wanted to put a lid on them and focus on the problem that was more urgent. And not hers.
"Fine, I'll let it slide this one time if you help me." Vyse sighed and turned away, implying that there was something she could help him with.
"I won't do it with you!" Aika said strictly, pointing at him. "You're like a brother to me."
"Then what do you suggest?" Her friend threw his hands in the air, frustrated and out of solutions. Normally he would've had thousands of ideas, but after having tried to solve his problem dozens of times his ability to focus had hindered. All he could think about was the humiliation that followed the failure. He didn't cope well with failure.
"Let's talk to Gilder, maybe he can find you someone!" Aika suddenly said, snapping her fingers.
"Gilder!" Vyse took Aika in a grateful hug. "Of course! He's got a girl in every port, he must know someone!"
The following day the Delphinus set sail at dawn much to the crew's surprise. Aika had come up with a great idea and Vyse was restless to put it into motion. He didn't mind his crew working slower than usual because they were tired from the night before, he only wanted to keep moving. Movement meant getting closer to his goal. He let a brief smile appear on his face. The sooner his virginity was taken from him the sooner he could finally feel like a real legend. Gilder would help him out. He most definitely would.
Vyse let Lawrence take the helm quite often and spent time examining maps for uncharted skies. It was easier to discover new things when he knew old ones by heart. Each and every island, every treasure, every hideout, he knew their locations like the back of his hand. He trailed his finger across a map of Esperanza, reminiscing the landscape like fond memories.
"There's a Valuan cargoship coming right towards us, Captain," Lawrence said, waking Vyse from his thoughts. Even when the helmsman was trying to sound professional he managed to appear angry and as if he was bothered by the fact that he had to say anything at all. Something about him told others to keep at bay. His captain was among the few he spoke full sentences to or didn't mind standing close by.
"Evade it. We'll need to find the Claudia." Vyse answered, looking indifferent. He was in no mood to hijack ships. He had more urgent business to attend to that couldn't wait. Cargo ships would come and go, but he wouldn't rest until he had found Gilder and got his word that there was help for him yet.
Lawrence looked at him over his shoulder, one hand letting go of the helm. "But Captain..."
"Not now. Enrique will be pleased when one of his cargo ships makes it to its destination." Vyse winked at him with a smile. The helmsman swallowed nervously and turned to face away from his captain. The brunette didn't concern himself with the awkward air that had suddenly descended on Lawrence and continued: "The Claudia is our top priority."
"Yes, Captain." The helmsman said, biting his lip. His captain was usually never so insistent on finding other pirates, it was very strange that he was willing to let a cargo ship of that caliber to pass them without giving a second thought. Despite being introverted and aversive Lawrence had a soft spot for Vyse and couldn't help but worry when their captain was not acting like himself. He sighed. He hoped one day Vyse would confide in him in more ways than just as a friend. Yet orders were orders and he steered away from the cargo ship.
Vyse left the command deck without looking back. He didn't even want to see the cargo ship, it was of no interest to him at the moment. There would be many others to come and his business with Gilder was far more important. He closed the door behind him as he entered his quarters. A sigh escaped his lips as he loosened his scarf around his neck and kicked off his boots. If Gilder couldn't help him, who could? He threw himself on his bed, staring at the ceiling. The quiet hum of the engines calmed him down. Well of course Gilder would find someone, he would know the solution. He had so many women he had trouble organizing his time for all of them. It couldn't be that there was no one compatible for Vyse.
He hoped to find someone a lot like Fina... not Fina of course, she was just a friend, but someone like her... He hoped for someone with the same posture, not as shy but shy was good. Someone with skin as transparent as hers, yearning for touch and a heartbeat that existed only for him. Vyse opened his belt buckle and slid his hand into his pants, letting his imagination run wild. He grabbed his penis and began to rub himself gently, feeling the result instantly. He was in desperate need of someone who could let him release completely.
Someone with smooth, long legs and the neck of a swan as it arched back in pleasure. Someone who let out gasps of tiny hearts and screamed when he hit the spot. Vyse exhaled heavily as he hardened and his pants began to feel tight. He squirmed out of them, gaining better access to please himself. He squeezed his erection a little harder, exhaling sharply. It felt good. Someone who knew how to handle him, his urges, his desires, his most intimate fantasies. Someone who could drive him insane just by one touch.As he stroke harder he let out quiet moans full of desire for someone that didn't exist as a rosy blush spread on his cheekbones.
Someone with meaningful eyes, a strong gaze that could both dominate yet submit at the same time. Someone with skillful hands and a slippery tongue that eagerly tasted his salty skin. Teeth that bit and teased. He slid a hand under his shirt, feeling his warm muscles under his fingers. They tensed and released as his body tried to cope with the pleasure he gave himself. He let out a quiet moan as he gently pinched his nipple and the blush on his cheeks deepened. Someone who would glisten with sweat and smell of lust and passion and look at him with eyes pleading for more. Someone who knew how to please him gently yet mess him up good, drive him all the way to the lines of insanity. He closed his eyes tightly as the pleasure increased.
He bit his lower lip as he stroked harder, squirming under his own touch. It felt so good. His lover was turning more vivid by each caress. He let himself succumb deeper into the fantasy, touching himself with eager hands, imagining how it would all happen. That someone would straddle him with long milky legs and throw their head back as he entered and his hands would grasp those slender hips. Hot and wet, deep and tight. He clenched his sheets with his one free hand, emitting sounds of utter happiness as the other hand brought him closer to climax. Those eyes would drill into his as their bodies would intertwine, the lewd scent of lust would hang thick in the air accompanied by gasps of absolute pleasure. He shuddered, stroking himself hard and fast, panting in a frenzy. That someone would whisper his name hoarsely into his ear in between moans and he would shudder while whispering that name... that name... that... name...
"...Ramirez", he whispered as he climaxed, his body convulsing from the overflowing pleasure. Realizing instantly whose name he had uttered, he let go of himself. The fantasy shattered and turned to dust as he sat up like he had just been hit by lightning. "Wh-what?"
It wasn't possible. He couldn't be dreaming of Ramirez, could he? He looked at his hands as if they weren't his own. Such a strange feeling... a tingling sensation that had thundered down his spine when he had said that name. The name of the person he had killed. He turned his hands palms down, still unable to believe what he had witnessed himself do. As if it had been a completely different person, someone sexually awakened not this confused young virgin he knew himself to be.
"Captain!" Hans banged on his door, bringing him back to reality. "We've found the Claudia and they're willing to let us on board."
"I-I'll be right there", Vyse bolted on his feet as he pulled up his pants and fastened his belt. Pushing his perplexed thoughts aside he trotted to the deck to get ready to board his friend's ship.
The Claudia was much more elegant than the Delphinus, it had been made to be swift and agile like a butterfly. Redwood shell and black sails too, it was very stylish. However, it was nowhere near as impressive. But then again, the Delphinus didn't actually belong to Vyse. He hadn't constructed it or drawn its design, he had done what pirates do best: taken it. Even if it lacked personality if was an impressive vessel that not many dared to challenge.
The two boats docked on an isolated island, right next to each other so that a plank could be put between them and used as a bridge. The location was perfect, it was far away from commercial air traffic and the routes the Imperial Armada used. A few cottony clouds created the perfect veil of disguise, allowing them to blend into the sky.
The Claudia's captain's quarters were very stylish, there were dark wooden furniture and silk curtains, handmade carpets and peculiar items from all over the world. Vyse could never understand the countless photos of women he had on his walls. But then again, Gilder had never explained it to him that it wasn't to brag but to remember them. Every photo had the name of the lovely lady in it written on it.
"Hello, Vyse." Gilder came to greet him with a brotherly hug. He smelled of cigars and fine wines and maybe of perfume. He had probably spent the night before with a woman. "Congratulations on becoming the Legend. I'm sorry I couldn't attend your party but Clara held me hostage."
"Really?" Vyse laughed. Color had returned to his face from the shock he had had in his own quarters.
"I'll tell you later how I managed to escape." Gilder winked, holding his hands on Vyse's shoulders. He had always seen the brunette as a congenial soul and was genuinely happy to see him. "What can I do for you?"
"Actually", The brunette looked at his feet and rubbed his hands together, feeling a bit awkward. "I need your help."
"Of course!" Gilder answered, flashing a smile. "Anything. Ask away."
"Can you help me get rid of my virginity?" Vyse asked in his straight-forward way, looking demandingly into Gilder's eyes.
