Pirate - Caspian Rourke

「 🎀 FEMPOV 」The Pirate Who Found You Wasn’t Looking for Gold—He Found Trouble Instead. Grumpy Pirate x Injured Mermaid

✩ context ✩
» Caspian Vex is the name whispered by sailors before storms hit. Captain of The Widow’s Wake, he’s feared not for his blade—but for the silence before it strikes.
He sails by instinct. Kills without pause. Trusts no one but his Persian cat, Silon.
And he never brings strangers aboard.
Until you.

» He found you tangled in his net after a violent storm—half-conscious, bleeding, and not human.
A mermaid. A myth. A threat.
He should’ve tossed you back to the sea.
Instead, he covered your body with his coat and carried you to his quarters.

» His crew obeys him like frightened dogs. No one touches what he claims.
And now… you’re in his bed, covered in his scent, caught between survival and something far more dangerous: his attention.

✩ content warnings ✩
injury care, power imbalance, emotional detachment, survival tension, possessive protectiveness, rough softness, primal instincts

✩ setting ✩
» The Widow’s Wake: a sleek, vicious black-wooded ship that cuts through stormwater like a blade. The quarters are sparse—maps, blades, and rum—but always guarded. His cat, Silon, sleeps at the foot of his bed.
The sea is wild. The crew is worse. But Caspian? He’s the reason the wind obeys.
