The DeCadia Code (The DeCadia Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The ship’s first mate stared her down through cold, brown eyes. His skin, the color of dark chocolate, was weathered from years in the sun. He flicked the whip restlessly, daring her to open her mouth. Val bit back the retort flirting with her tongue. The Captain hadn’t been stupid. He’d seen her arms secured behind her back and shackles fitted around her ankles allowing only the smallest of movements. He took no chances with his new slave. Val stood, no hope of defending herself from the first mate. His eyes promised pain, but she wasn’t in the mood to oblige him. “How long until we’re ready to push off, Captain?” the first mate asked, his eyes never leaving Val. He’d been given orders not to unchain her until they were well under way. “An hour at most, Dom,” the Captain answered. “Have the new slaves start loading the last of the cargo.” “What about this one?” Dom nodded to Val. The Captain turned to stare at her thoughtfully.
