Chapter Five

Isles of Scilly

Off the coast of Cornwall

KELLY O’MURPHY HAD been sailing in these waters all of his life. As far as he was concerned, they were his waters even though Poseidon’s Legion claimed them. As one of Shaw MacDougall’s captains, Kelly was Irish by birth but had spent nearly his entire life as a Scottish pirate. That meant his accent was mostly Scottish, although he was loathed to admit it. He was a proud Irishman and an even prouder Devil of the Deep.

At the moment, he was on a mission.

Well, mostly on a mission. It had turned into a rather raucous journey. He’d picked up three rather wild wenches from a tavern in Eynon Bay on his way south from the pirate stronghold at Scarba Island, and on the entire trip south, he could hear his men having their way with the women inside the captain’s quarters.

All three women stayed to the cabin and God only knew how many pirates had bedded them over the past week, all the way down from Eynon to the Isles of Scilly. There had been so much bedding going on that Kelly could still hear the grunting of men as they plunged their flesh swords into the silken scabbard of women who had seen many such swords. Every time Kelly closed his eyes to sleep, he could hear a woman gasping in ecstasy.

It had been pandemonium aboard the Leucosia during the journey south, but there was a reason for that – bringing the women on board was the only way the men would agree to man a ship that was as coveted as the Leucosia was. It had was a dangerous undertaking and they all knew it, so there had to be some incentive to keep them on the vessel.

Therefore, Kelly had Shaw’s permission to stop at Eynon Bay and bring any woman on board who would come. Kelly found several, but only three were moderately acceptable, and the massive Leucosia had set sail from Eynon and headed south towards Perranporth and Perran Castle.

In truth, it was the ship that was the focal point – the twenty-two gun Leucosia, a much-stolen ship that had been given to Shaw by Constantine le Brecque as a gift for helping save Constantine’s life. At least, that was what Shaw had initially thought. He had been deeply touched by Constantine’s gesture, his brother in heart and soul, if not blood. He’d been so deeply touched by it that he’d sailed it proudly down the Cornwall coast, heading towards the Spanish havens because that was where his nemesis, Santiago Fernandez and his Spanish pirates made port. He was going to take that twenty-two gun warship and blast the hell out of Santiago until he realized the moment his ship came into view of not only the Spanish, but of the French pirates who roamed the coast of Normandy and Brittany, that every pirate in the world came after him. Like dogs after a cat, the pirates came after him in droves.
