Lucian and Arabella
She blushed at the thoughts she had before he appeared.
Lucian saw the blush creep up Arabella’s neck and wondered why she was embarrassed. “Careful my Bella, you almost tripped over this rope.” Lucian moved Arabella beyond the rope before he loosened his grip. “You have to be extra careful on a ship, you never know what might be laying around that would trip or hurt you.”
Arabella looked at the rope, deep in thought, “It would seem I have to thank you two fold, Lucian. One; you kept me from tripping on the rope, two; you may have also kept me from going over board.” Arabella shivered at the thought.
