BOOK TWO

THE VIXEN

14

At Sea 1780

Booted feet planted firmly on the quarterdeck, that honored elevation on the stern that represented the captain’s authority, soft breezes ruffling her

long blond tresses, the Vixen’s violet eyes skimmed the horizon. She had traveled over many roads during the past six months: progressing from

the lady named Alexa, unsuspecting victim of men’s whims, to the Vixen, leader of men, captain of her own ship. My Lady Vixen, scourge of the

English. She laughed softly, a low mirthless chuckle that caused the men working nearby to eye her curiously.

To a man, My Lady Vixen’s crew would have laid down their lives for their beautiful captain who led them so fearlessly against the enemy.

Foremost among them was her first mate. Drake, who had once been Mac’s right-hand man aboard the Lady A but who now served her so wel .

News of the war was not good as the new year of 1780 began. The British victoriously swept up through North and South Carolina. In

September and October of 1779 General Benjamin Lincoln was unsuccessful in ousting General Prevost from Savannah despite the help of French

naval and military forces under Admiral d’Estaing, and he fel back to Charleston. In this assault the valiant Count Casimer Pulaski, on the American

side, was mortal y wounded.

Of some encouragement was word that the Whig population scattered, though without much organization, and formed into groups of riflemen

and mounted troops to harass the enemy with little mercy shown by either side. Though casualties on both sides were fearsome, daring and skil ful

leaders such as Francis Marion and Thomas Sumter kept the spirit of resistance alive by their sudden attacks and surprises on British outposts.

And so the war continued, joined by yet another brave patriot, the Vixen.

Mesmerized by the steady rise and fal of the ship beneath her bare legs encased in short, cut-off trousers, Alexa traveled back six months to

the day the Ghost sailed into Nassau. Two days previously she had inadvertently discovered that her own husband. Adam, was the man known as

Fox. Hurt and enraged, she vowed she would one day pay him back in kind. Not even Mac was safe from her plotting, for he too had lent credence

to Adam’s lie. For the time being it suited Alexa’s purposes to keep her secret, al owing Fox his deception.

Guiltless now that she realized she had not al owed a man other than her husband to make love to her. Alexa welcomed Fox to her bed

fol owing the first night they had come together so passionately, shocking Fox with her ardor. Alexa chuckled whenever she recal ed his puzzled

frown at her eagerness to bed him while seeming to forget her husband completely. When, on their last night together. Fox asked. “Do you love me.

Alexa?” she was quick to reply without a moment’s hesitation. “Aye, I love you, Fox.”

“More than Adam? Do you love me more than your husband?” Alexa could feel his breathlessness as he awaited her answer, and she smiled

sardonical y, wondering what perversity would cause a man like Fox to ask such a question knowing either way he was bound to lose.
