“You… kissed me. Again. And you continue to act as if none of it happened.”“Oh, I’m sorry,” he says dryly. “I thought you wouldn't appreciate me discussing our love life in front of the crew. But say the word, and I can gather them on deck to tell them in detail just how much I enjoyed kissing you.” 🤭🫠

Wait whaaaaaat???? How-

“Because, darling,” he says softly, “I’m selfish. And resisting you is like telling the moon to stop pulling the tide.”

“Darling,” he breathes, “if you wanted me on my knees, you could have just told me.”

AAAAAAAA THIS PIRATEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! THIS MAN.

Sing for me, little fish.

HELLOOO??? I’m turning into a puddle over here🫠😩

I don’t hate you,” I say, meeting his gaze again. “If that’s what you’re getting at.”“That may be true,” he leans his head closer to mine to whisper, the temptation of a smirk tugging at his lips. “But you hate how much you want me.”

Don’t mind me I’m just melting over here! 🫠

OMG FINALLY THEY KISSEDDDDD

'I’ve never heard of a monster,” he begins quietly, “who cares about its actions the way you do, Risa. You show empathy, constantly, to people who treat you poorly. That’s a strength, not a weakness. I would’ve thrown him overboard myself if I had the chance. I would do it in the blink of an eye, if I saw him lay a hand on you.'🥹 Sable the man that you areeeee!

“I know the difference between a monster and someone who is simply trying not to become one.”
