Drabble - Captain
Mar. 5th, 2006 05:52 pmTitle: Captain
Words: 100
___
Bush thinks of the Nonsuch more tenderly than any woman he has ever bedded. He knows each inch of her by touch, his calloused hands alternately gentle and strong. He knows her in each of her moods, has coaxed her through storms and felt her fury in battle.
There is still a wild, reckless joy in knowing that, against all odds and reason, she belongs to him.
But alone in the early hours of the dogwatches, Bush can be caught thinking wistfully of when he was First Lieutenant under a captain finer than what he’ll ever turn out to be.
