Chapter 13

Shane was on the brink of sleep. A long day of work and a hot beating sun had done it’s toll on her and almost as soon as the sun had set and the air cooled she could feel her eyelids start to close. She relaxed in the cooling sand as the tide came in and lapped at her toes. She smiled at the feeling as the salty water very lightly tickled the souls of her feet.

She heard Carmen snicker to herself and begrudgingly opened one eye and glanced down to see Carmen looking right back up at her with a slightly guilty look on her face as she ran a finger lightly against the soul of Shane’s foot. Shane grinned in her sleepy daze, realizing why the water seemed to tickle so much, and then pushed lightly against Carmen with her foot making the Latina tip back onto her hands in the shallow water.

Shane chuckled when Carmen took in a sharp breath of air after being push in the water. Shane relaxed again after the source of her tickled feet had been pushed over but her smile disappeared when a small sprinkle of water showered down onto her and Carmen joined her side.

“When are we leaving?” Shane could here the smile and the excitement in her voice without having to open her eyes.

“Tomorrow evening, I reckon. The carpenter should be done by then and we can take leave when the tide comes in again.”

“How long will it take to catch up?”

“Depends on the weather. The Robin will be faster now though…” Shane mumbled with her eyes closed, ready for a good nights sleep.

“Do you have a plan?” Shane couldn’t keep the side of her mouth from turning up at the sudden barrage of questions coming from the excited Latina. She shook her head slightly, answering the curious girl.

“Are you tired?” Carmen scooted up close to Shane putting one hand on the pirate’s stomach.

Shane smiled lightly and nodded her head.

“Do you want to fuck me?” Carmen asked and took a fistful of Shane’s shirt.

Shane’s eyes immediately snapped open and she looked to Carmen who just laughed at her and propped her head on her other hand. “Wha-” Shane wasn’t sure what to say exactly. She wanted to say yes. She wanted to scream it. The only thing stopping her was the fact that Carmen didn’t know about Shane. She wanted to turn the girl on her back and take her right there but the fear that Carmen would freak out and she’d be left behind on the island kept her from making any decision at all. Shane glanced away for a second and checked down the beach where the rest of the pirates were sleeping in front of a dwindling fire.
