Devon stood silently at the rail and watched as the Black Eagle drew alongside. Her heart beat frantically when she saw Raveneau. He stood on the ship’s quarter-deck, leaning forward confidently.
Their eyes met, glittering; neither showed the slightest expression.
Devon felt a wild desire to weep. Oh, it was unfair that he should affect her so! He was harsh and splendid, clad in knee boots, buff breeches that skimmed his hard thighs, and a loose, white shirt.
She stared as the Black Eagle grappled the smaller ketch. Privateersmen swarmed over the side to line the deck, weapons poised.
Morgan trembled with impotent rage. He backed against the rail when Raveneau, his rapier flashing in the sun, landed on the deck. Taunting the younger man, Raveneau arched a mocking eyebrow and advanced.
“The Black Eagle demands that you surrender!” he shouted.
Devon turned, still claspng the rail. Almost casually, Raveneau moved in her direction, and without meeting her gaze, he reached out with a bronzed hand to take her arm.
“I have no desire for your sad-looking ship,” he said. “I will take this female and leave you to your business.”
“I refuse to abandon her to such a savage!” Morgan proclaimed.
“Ah, I see!” Raveneau was grinning now. “Do you challenge me? Where is your rapier?”
“But…I—”
“Morgan, don’t be a fool,” Devon declared. “Let me go with Captain Raveneau.”
Morgan hung his head in surrender, while Raveneau whispered, “It seems that you’ve convinced him, cherie!”
Still holding her arm, he turned to leave the ketch, but Devon stopped. “If you please, I will not go anywhere without my daughter!”
