“You’re feeling seasick?”
“Yes,” she said on an exhale.
She hadn’t wanted to trouble him with the fact. He’d been busy since they’d set sail, dictating the needs of the crew and the problems they were having with the men in the powder room.
It seemed some of the men were bullying the ship boys who would serve as powder monkeys should the need for battle arise.
“Say no more.”
Before she could protest, Bae scooped her into his arms, one hand beneath her ribs, the other beneath her knees. She clutched his shoulders.
“What are you doing?” she squeaked.
“Doctor’s orders. I’m taking care of you,” he said with a shameless grin.
“You are not a doctor.”
“A tragic oversight, really.”
He crossed the few steps to her bunk and tenderly laid her on the straw mattress.
“Bae,” she protested, attempting to sit up. “This really isn’t—”
“Hush,” he said, climbing on beside her.
Cali’s entire body blazed. His hand slid over her stomach. He stretched his legs beside hers, and he urged her to lay her head on his outstretched arm.
Heat shimmered through her, and she allowed him to pull her close and wrap her in his arms.
“There now,” he said, voice low. He stroked her back. “Captain’s cure. Works nine times out of ten.”
“And the tenth?”
“You throw up on me.”
She laughed and allowed herself to curl into him. She inhaled the wind in his shirt and the smell of the sea in his skin.
“Do you have time to be comforting me?”
“You are my priority,” he said, his voice rumbling in his chest.
