The pirate was none too modest, Jade noted but she realized he wasn’t exactly being lewd, just not respectful of her. She huffed to herself, just like I’m a dog or a cat, she thought as he yet again referred to her as pet.<br/><br/>The clothes that Iron Face brought in were more daytime wear. The same white cotton peasant blouse and no corset but the skirt was all of a piece instead of strips of cloth, although it was red and quite short and flouncy. No respectable woman wore a skirt to her knees, Jade thought miserably but it was much better than her hips and thighs being exposed with every step. She just wished the blouse covered more of her breasts.<br/><br/>Beatrice came in and gave her hair a rough brushing and jammed a red hibiscus behind her left ear.She made her scrub her teeth with a stick and then chew on some mint leaves.<br/><br/>“El Senor doesn’t wish to smell arse breath on his pets” was her terse explanation.<br/><br/>Jade ran her finger under the damnable collar and asked,<br/><br/>“Do I get some shoes?”<br/><br/>Iron Face snorted,<br/><br/>“Slaves don’t wear shoes. Besides, the men like it. They sense that there is little that stands between them and a prize. El Senor is a man, although a very powerful one. Please him. You won’t regret it. Keep him interested. You won’t regret it. “<br/><br/>Beatrice tugged the neckline of the blouse down to rest on the swell of Jade's young  breasts.<br/><br/>She was led from the bedroom and followed the pirate down a corridor to a beautiful terrace that overlooked a cerulean blue ocean that kissed a white sandy beach. The table was set with pineapple, papaya, mango, avocado and some delicious light breads. A jug of fresh squeezed orange juice was sweating the cold off in the slightly warm tropical morning. A blue and red parrot squawked in the manzanita bushes overlooking the garden and some monkeys chattered in the trees that led to the forest. A small white sail boat bobbed at the private dock.<br/><br/>He gestured for her to be seated on a small pillow at his feet.
