Raised in an orphanage after being found abandoned on the London docks as a newborn baby, without a known last name nor date of birth, Theodore has but one friend, Seth, a fellow orphan. Destiny takes Theodore away from Seth and back to the sea when he comes of age and is found an apprenticeship on a vessel in the English merchant navy. Thor, as he becomes known aboard ship, soon falls for Miguel, the handsome boatswain. However, his life is turned upside down when their ship is raided. Miguel is torn from his life and Thor is taken hostage and forced into the life of a pirate aboardThe Dragon. Both attracted to and repulsed by the evil Captain Wyvern, Thor finds the large dragon tattoo -- the symbol of the rank of the ship's captain -- taking hold of him and binding him to the man. Fate intervenes once more and Thor is elected captain ofThe Dragonwhen Wyvern is killed during a raid. Dismayed by Wyvern's ruthlessness, Thor is determined to show humanity to those vessels his crew plunders now that he is in charge. But despite his growing wealth, power, and reputation, Thor is restless and unfulfilled. He feels his life is not yet complete and somehow reaches beyond the decks of the pirate ship he now captains. A raid on a Dutch merchant ship brings yet another twist to Thor's life when someone from his past is found on board. Thor now has to face hard choices, the most difficult of which involves deciding if he can leave the sea and make a new life on land with his rediscovered love. But with a price on his head and a large tattoo of a dragon on his body, can Thor escape his past life of a pirate?

The Dragon

Thor immediately began to conjure up images of Miguel and other crewmen whose powerful, muscular bodies made a mockery of the masculinity of the man in front of him. He hoped the thoughts of true manliness would enable him to respond as the captain wanted.


The seaman stood, his legs spread, his arms at his sides, letting Captain Allison begin feasting on him with beady eyes. The captain took a deep shuddering breath and blew the air out through rounded lips, making his blotchy cheeks puff out.


Thor then removed his seaman’s shirt, pulling it slowly over his head to reveal a chiseled, muscular chest. He brought one hand up and began to massage his pectorals—paying attention to his hardening nipples with his index finger. With his other hand, he cupped his crotch and began to knead his ample manhood, following the pattern he had learned so well in his three years as cabin boy.
