He walked me towards the deck of the ship and I saw what could possibly be hundreds of men. Some of them licking their lips and others simply smiling. We walked to the middle of everyone and Captain Min wrapped his arm around me protectively.

"As you can see we have someone new aboard the ship." He yelled as to reach all the ears onboard. There were afew cheers and murmurs that followed. "This is Rose, and you will all address her as Noona, for as you can see, age has not struck her from her beauty." I smiled and blushed at his kind words.

He then gripped onto my arm tightly pushing me forward making me walk in a circle. "Be sure you take a good look men...this wench is MINE...and the first person to even look at her wrong will experience a sudden stop after a sudden drop." He growled.

The men on the ship cheered and when I stopped I saw both Jimin and Tae looking at me, smiling. He then jerked me forward drawing a knife from his belt. He pressed the blade into my palm dragging it across my skin. I was proud that all I let out was a subtle gasp. He then did the same to his own palm then pressing our hands together bringing them up in the air. "Let this be attest to the connection...she is mine, and mine alone." He looked back over to me and smiled. "TO THE WENCH OF THE IVORY KEY." He shouted and the rest of the crew cheered with him raising either swords or mugs of whatever they were drinking.

He let go of me and swirled me around. He bent slightly picking me up from my thighs forcing my legs to circle around his waist. "I'll be occupied for the remainder of the evening." He smiled to me. "Do not disturb me." He called before walking me back below deck. He kicked the door open to the room we were sharing and then dropped me to my feet. Jimin followed behind us shortly after with his medical bag around his body.

"That was awesome Hyung." He smiled. "All the men are envious of the 'sweet peach' you will feast on from here on in." He then laughed.

"Jimin." He said unamused. "Will you please address her hand? I need to speak with Taehyung."

Jimin's smile fell slightly and he nodded. "Yes, Captain."

And with that he left, slamming the door behind him. Jimin walked me over to the bed and we sat in our normal spots as he took hold of my hand. He started to clean my hand and I felt this the perfect opportunity to ask questions.

"Why does the Captian carry so much stress on his back?"

"There is a lot going on that you don't know about Bunny..." he sighed. "...the Captain doesn't like to share his worries with others."

"Do you now what he's worried about?"

"I do."

"Can you tell me?"

He stopped what he was doing and looked up to me. "Why are you so interested?"

"W-well I'm the captains now aren't I?" I gulped. "Shouldn't I know these things to try to help?"

"You know who the First Mate is on the Ivory Key don't you?"

I shook my head. "No."

"It's Taehyung." He smiled. "But it wasn't always Tae." He started to clean my wound again as he spoke. "The First Mate of The Ivory Key used to be a man called Kim Namjoon." He sighed. "Captain Min and him were friends from an early age. When Jin didn't want to take over the Ivory Key when their father passed, he decided to take over instead. With that, he assigned Joon to be his first mate. The man was a genius." He laughed lightly. "In fact they both are...there was nothing they couldn't do together that wasn't successful...that was until Namjoon got a little greedy. See...what you don't know...is Namjoon wasn't only the Captains best friend and first mate...he was his brothers lover."

I gasped. "How sweet." I smiled.

"It was...until Jin sided with Captain towards loot."

"What do you mean?"

He started to spread a cream on my cut as he continued. "Namjoon thought that because of the 7 of us, yes there used to be 7 leaders on board, that we deserved more part of whatever pot we got with our dealings, or with our findings. He was getting greedy. The Captain and his brother did not want to take more for themselves...they wanted everything to be equal...Namjoon disagreed. He's also quite the hotheaded man. He took Jin siding with the Captain to heart and they fought constantly. Then one day...half of our earnings were gone and Namjoon left taking 2 others with him. Broke Jin's heart...and the Captain's." He looked up to me. "I know the rumors, I've heard the stories. Ruthless, cold heated. The Captain isn't heartless, Bunny. He's a good man that has a lot of stress and part of his heart is broken as well."

He finished wrapping my hand up being sure that the bandage was flush against my skin. "Is there anything I can do to help him?"

"Well he could use a stress relief." He said pulling out fresh bandages I could only assume would be for the captain.

"I give him massages almost every night for his back...but with my hand...I..."

Jimin stopped me and took hold of my free hand. "There are other ways to relieve stress for a man." He said raising an eye brow.

I knew exactly what he meant but before I could respond the door opened and the Captain walked in again. "Thank's Jimin." He said cradling his hand.

"Everything good with Tae?" he asked a bit concerned.

The Captain smiled. "Just waiting for you."

Jimin laughed. "Let me fix your wound first."

"I can do it." I called out. They both looked at me. "I watched Jimin do it to my hand and I'm not stupid...I am familiar with some medical things and I'm capable of dressing a hand wound. I can do it." I repeated.

Jimin looked to the Captain. "Very well." He said. "Jimin leave your bag here? You can retrieve it in the morning."

"Yes. Captain. Goodnight Bunny." He waived and left.

I gathered the cleaning supplies and bandages and patted the spot on the bed next to me. He sat down and held his hand to me placing it gently on my lap. As I cleaned his wound there was a comfortable silence that fell between us. But as the time went on I became more and more nervous. Before I could finish though he spoke up.

"I'm sorry I was a little rough with you." He started. "Being gentle with your wench in front of the crew would not go over well. As disgusting as it sounds, they would lose respect from the man who is supposed to be cold hearted and ruthless." He scoffed.

"I don't think you're heartless." I said softly as I smoothed down the bandage. I held his hand in mine and looked up to him. "Sometimes it's better to put on the face though. So there is no need to apologize." I smiled.

He took his free hand and stroked my jawline. He didn't say anything before he stood walking toward his closet. He changed quickly and when he came back out into the room he took a seat at his desk. He scribbled a few things before cracking his neck again and I watched as his back and neck tensed. I looked down at my hands sad that it would be a while before I could help him...but then Jimin's words echoed through my head.

"There are other ways to relieve stress for a man."

I swallowed thickly closing my eyes as I took a few deep breaths to reign in my courage. I got up and walked over to him placing my good hand on his shoulder.

"I'm tired, Jagi." He said. "Let's go to bed."

"Okay...but um...can you come with me for a moment?"

He looked behind him and stood as I took his hand in mine. I walked him to the bed and pushed him softly so he would sit down. I swallowed and then slowly fell to my knees placing each of my hands on his thighs. I had done this before...often...but never willingly or because it was my idea. This was different...I wanted to be of use to him and the one thing I knew I could provide him was a form of stress release. After my first lesson with Jimin...he educated me on the human body...both male and female. I never wanted to do this as badly as I did now.

"What are you doing?" he asked breaking me from my train of thought.

I could see his arousal start to stir, which excited me all the more. "I want to relax you Captain."

"Yoongi." He said.

"What?"

"My name is Yoongi, Jagi." He said as he tilted my chin up to look at him. "When we are alone...here, you call me Yoongi...okay?" I nodded. He let go of my chin but stayed looking at him. "Now what are you trying to do?"

"I um...want to service you. I want to relax you from the stress and pain you've been hiding from everyone."

I went to move my hands to his erection but he grabbed my wrists tightly and I looked back up to him. He then quickly took me by my waist pulling me up to straddle him again, only this time his lips crashed into mine in a heated, wet kiss. His lips were as soft as the rest of his skin was and I opened my mouth to him as he pressed his tongue in to caress mine. Absentmindedly I wrapped my arms around his neck digging my fingers into his soft hair holding tight by his roots. He did the same wrapping his arms around me pressing my  shoulders more into him with his palms. The movements of his mouth were soft but fast and I felt myself losing any thought I had that didn't have to do with him or his touch. He nibbled at my bottom lip causing me to whimper slightly.

That must have ignited something in him, for he twisted our bodies slamming my back against the soft bed. His kisses moved from my mouth to my jaw, then down to my neck. My breathing was heavy and I felt the same pull between my legs as I did the day Jimin taught me to touch myself.
