The woman with the glass eye and the bikini clamped her hand onto my shoulder as the ship approached. How could I get out of this? I couldn’t offer her a big bag of money because Tessa had run off with it all. Perhaps I could seduce her. She’d seemed unimpressed by my physique a few moments ago, but it was worth a shot. No matter my failings, I was pretty sure I was more appealing than Jorgensen.
I tried to channel James Bond at his suavest as I wrapped my arm around her waist.
“You’re kidding, right?” she sneered.
Next thing I knew she dragged me into the surf. Her arm around my throat immobilized me, and she swam with me out to meet the ship. Jorgensen himself hauled us aboard with his own skillful hands.
“He tried to make a pass,” the bikini woman said.
“It’s perfectly shameful to take advantage of Mrs Hunter’s good nature,” Jorgensen snarled.
Mrs Hunter? Oh shit. That could only mean my tormentress and kidnapper was the estranged wife of Heinrich Hunter. I’d heard rumors. From day one theirs was the very portrait of a marriage in trouble. Things got so bad it nearly destroyed the pirate ninja alliance. The glass eye really should have tipped me off. It was a souvenir of the Hunters’ tempestuous honeymoon. And now Aphrodite Hunter was keeping company with Captain Jorgensen.
The biggest problem with pirates and ninjas is that they lose all honor when they get angry. This would not end well.
