"I know, I could tell." Sinful Rose said slyly. "I was raised to be a lover." She said.

Ethan smiled, "yes and your very good at it even though you have fallen for two men."

"Will you ever let that go?" Sinful Rose asked Ethan hopelessly.

Ethan smiled at her, "sooner or later I will." he said softly

"What do I have to do to make you forget that?" Sinful Rose asked returning the smile. She managed to make the pirate lord remember something

Ethan laughed and smiled at her, "you can do many things, but I am not going to choice any."

Sinful Rose sighed and started walking away. She went to her cabin and laid on her berth. Her mind was reeling. I slept with two hot captains. My love, Nathan and my enemy Ethan. Twins! I slept with the Sharpe twins. Holy crap. She thought amazed. Memories of making love to the twins flashed through her mind. She wanted Ethan, she knew that. But she loved Nate.

Ethan smiled as she walked away and slowly made his way to his cabin. He then stripped ot his pants and white shirt. Then sat down at the table and started to see where the next stop would be for them. A captains work was never done and it wasn't always fun.

Sinful Rose paced her cabin floor. She wanted Ethan. His kisses did this to her. She could hear him working on the other side of the wall. She sighed. She sat on the bed and rubbed her feet.She removed her boots as soon as she got in her room.

Ethan continued to work till his vision was blurred and his hands tremlbed with exhaustion. He then slowly made his way to his bed and layed down. But every time he closed his eyes he saw Rose, the beautifull, enchanting Sinful Rose that now haunted his every wakeing moment. He couldn't fall alseep or else she would be there so he just layed there and started at the ceiling.

Sinful Rose got up and knocked on Ethan's door. "Ethan? Are you up?" She asked softly. Her footsteps were barely heard since she was barefooted. She wore nothing but Ethan's shirt and undergarments. She didnt want to make love with Ethan necessarily, just wanted to fall asleep in his arms.

Ethan slowly got up and walked to the door. He smiled when he saw who is was, "yeah I am up, but just barely." he said as he looked at her. She was beautiufll now and nothing in his mind could change that. He wondered how his brother had gotten so lucky to get a girl like her.

"Can I come in?" Sinful Rose asked softly.

Ethan smiled and moved aside for her. "always." he said softly, she never had to ask to come in if she wanted to see him. She was always welcome here.

Sinful Rose came in and kissed Ethan softly.

Ethan smiled and kissed her back happly

"Do you still want me?" She asked between kisses. His answer scared her. But right now she wanted him. Not Ethan the pirate, Ethan the man.

Ethan smiled as he heard her and kept her close. "yes, more then anything." he said as he kissed her. Her touch seemed to melt his pirate self and bring out the man in him.

Sinful Rose ran her fingers over Ethan's face gently. She ran her fingers over his shoulders. She gasped as she felt his muscles.

Ethan smiled and took the chance to stick his tounge into her mouth when she gasped. She tasted better then he remembered and he closed the door as he pulled her closer to him.

Sinful Rose dueled with Ethan's tongue. Her arms slid around his neck. He smelled like the sea. She pressed herself against him. He felt so strong, so safe.

Ethan felt her press closer and forgot everything but her. He had craved her since he left her and wanted her now more then ever.

"Ethan..." Sinful Rose said her voice husky. She traced a heart on his cheek.

Ethan smiled as he heard his name and brought them over to the bed. "Rose." he said softly as he ran his hands down her shirt.

Sinful Rose kissed Ethan. Her nickname sounded sweet on Ethan's lips. It sounded sweet on Nate's lips too. She moaned very softly. She knew that he could rip the shirt off. "Why are you being tender?" She said softly.
