The morning air was brisk as Oz sipped from his coffee cup. He leaned against the starboard railing of the bridge, searching the water for signs of the monsters trailing them. Though he’d expended enough energy to sleep for days, he’d slept little the night before. Between the battle and the sex that followed, he was exhausted—yet his body refused to calm.

He had a crew to protect.

And his Dagr and Llyr.

A smile came to his lips as he brought the cup for another sip. He already thought of Llyr as his.

No. Theirs. Their merman.

Alas, he could truly have neither male.

Not forever. But for now, they were his.

“Cap’n?”

Oz turned to see their quartermaster ambling closer, hat in hand. “Ah, yes, Mr. Tyler? How are our injured?”

“Improved this mornin’, sir. I think our guest has a better hand at healin’ than tha ole doc ever did.”

“I noticed how well he tended to the men.”

“Aye,” Mr. Tyler. “But tha men hav’ been murmurin’ all night. They were wonderin’ how Mr. Llyr was able ta force tha beasts back. Is he… a witch?” Mr. Tyler clutched at his hat tighter. “Never heard of a man bein’ a witch ‘fore, though.”

“He’s no witch—but he does have a protection spell cast over him.” A thought swept into his mind. If his crew caught wind of what Llyr was, they might wish their merman harm. Best to nip the rumors as best he could. “It’s why he survived when he was in the water. That spell saved him.”

Mr. Tyler’s mouth and eyes widened. “So tha’s why. Makes more sense now.” The quartermaster shook his head. “Mus’ be sum spell ta give him thus. We should all be so blessed.”

“Aye,” Oz murmured. But then he realized he’d just put a target on Llyr’s pendant. “I almost thought of taking it for myself. Too bad it can only work for him.”

Mr. Tyler lifted a brow. “Ye would steal from Mr. Llyr?”

“A bounty that good? Tell me the thought didn’t drift into your mind.”

Mr. Tyler chuckled. “Drifted? Aye. Perchance it did.” He stood a little straighter. “But I would never.”

“Of course not,” Oz replied with a smile. “You are an honorable man. One I hear would be interested in the captaining of this boat in the future.”

“Aye, sir. Yes, I would. Very much so.”

Oz smiled and nodded. “Good. I’m glad we understand one another.”

“Well, I thought ya should know, Cap’n. Tha men are a bit afeared o’ Mr. Llyr. But I can tell ‘em wot ya jus’ tole me. Should keep ‘em calmed until we reach home.”

“Trust me when I say they have nothing to worry about from Llyr. We only have a couple more days til home.”

Mr. Tyler smiled. “I’m ready. Most definitely.”

Oz searched the surface. “How long have the creatures been in hiding?”

“Wasn’t long after ye and tha other gents went ta yer cabin fer tha night.”

Oz strove not to let heat darken his face. He lifted his stare to Mr. Tyler, refusing to be shamed for his attraction to the two men in his bed.
