Caged: Love and Treachery on the High Seas (Baal's Heart, #1) QUOTES

1 " Is it love? I don’t know,” he said truthfully. “Sometimes I think I’m just addicted to him. Or that he’s cast some kind of horrible curse on me where I’m to follow him for the rest of my life, doomed to fall for his lies over and over again. "

3 " What do I see? I see a man who has higher and thicker walls than I will ever have. I see a terrifying beast enveloped and hidden by a cleverly fashioned mask. I see tears that will never fall. I see blood and death. I see a heart that devours itself. I see the promise of a pain and deceit. I see a lot of things, Baltsaros. Many of them frightening,” Jon said.

Baltsaros showed no surprise over Jon’s words. Instead, he leaned towards him, intrigued. “And you’re not afraid,” he said. "

4 " The first mate slid, almost bonelessly, down the wall. Baltsaros shoved his softening cock almost angrily back into his pants; he felt strangely unsatisfied and frustrated. Tom looked up at the captain with wet, red eyes as Baltsaros undid the belt that was looped around him.

What was it about Jon that had him so wound up? "

5 " I ain’t going to kiss ye, poppet. Just keep still like a good little lad. "

6 " Tom is dangerous, he reminded himself. He means you no good. "

7 " Don’t! Oh god… don’t… I’m going to…” he gasped. He couldn’t say the words. I’m going to cum. "

8 " Yes, they are extremely fucking sexy if you must know,” he said, scarcely believing the words coming out of his mouth. It was simply the truth; somehow the markings enhanced the muscular young man’s beauty in a way that made Jon feel hot inside. “But… What do they mean? Do you know?” he asked. Tom looked down at himself and shrugged. “The lot of it could be pure fancy, love. But… the man who did it, he told me that this here”—Tom put his fingers over Jon’s—“is a map of the Devil’s Isles and beyond. Somethin’ about lost knowledge.” Jon’s breath caught in his throat and he looked at Tom, alarmed. “Gods, Tom. Now you won’t believe me when I tell you what we’re planning,” he said in a hush. Tom was quiet for a long time after Jon told him of their plans and of the captain’s intention to ask him to be first mate again. Jon rested against Tom’s wide shoulder, waiting for the big man to say something. When Tom finally spoke, it was a rumble against Jon’s ear. “If ye don’t mind, love, I’d like a day to think about it before I give ye my answer. Can ye grant me that, lad?” asked Tom, his rough hand coming up to rest against Jon’s bare chest. Jon nodded his head and closed his eyes. "

9 " Jon’s heart ached. “You enjoyed punishing me?” he asked quietly, reaching out to touch the captain’s cheek. Baltsaros leaned into his hand, smiling. “Oh Jon, very much so. You were exquisite,” he said, his voice affectionate. Baltsaros slid his fingers over the dented, red markings on Jon’s chest, left behind by the tight bindings. “You were perfect,” he said, his voice soft. "

10 " He is lying. That, or he didn’t believe any of them to be innocent. It was as clear as day to Jon: the captain had just murdered a castle full of people and didn’t care in the least. Jon turned and watched the flames lick the sky. Baltsaros had done this out of revenge. Searching inside himself for the horror and sadness that should have been there, Jon was astounded to find nothing. The captain had done this for him. And it felt glorious. "

14 " When it finally came up over the battered Baal’s Heart, the sun shone down on a sadly diminished crew. Three men were dead from injuries sustained aboard, and another five were missing. Tom was numbered among those presumed swept overboard by the fury of the storm. "

15 " If you assume that you will die today, you drag death to you as a cold, unforgiving stranger. Instead, embrace death like an old friend, for you will fight side by side with her; and, if death decides to choose you as her champion, you may yet live to fight, and love, another day,” said the captain softly into Jon’s ear.

16 " Had Baltsaros seen them? "

17 " Jon could only see a narrow tunnel when he opened his eyes again, and he imagined that he saw the face of Baltsaros above him, brown eyes wide with worry. Jon smiled. I’ll see you soon, my love. His eyes slipped closed in the dark… …and then Jon knew nothing else. "
