As loath as he was to trust most people, Vane still knew the value of having people he could rely on and predict. While many pirates were expert deceivers, Charles had learned how to root them out. Even with all of Rackham's scheming, he always knew how to pique his interest into toeing the line.

Charles nodded from between her legs. "Yes indeed. And I think we'll begin right away, shall we?" Without another word of warning, his fingers began again, thrusting deep into Anne's pussy.

That done, he curled the fingers inside of Anne, searching for a spot he'd learned of during his voyages but had never found the opportunity to try.
