Description:

Eager to start a new life, Rey bribes her way onto a ship bound for Canada and disguises herself as a young man to become the irascible Captain Solo's cabin boy.

This goes exactly as you think this will go, with lots of angst, smut and drama along the way.

 

Rey was going to have to undress him. All of him this time, and there was no escape.

There was such a mixture of emotions running through her head that she barely knew how to separate them. The most immediate was nerves, the fear that this was another chance for him to discover her secret. But almost as intense was the burning curiosity to find out what lay under his breeches.

And then finally, hardest to name but growing in intensity, was the understanding that she found this man attractive, very attractive, to an almost distracting degree, where just being near the heat of his body created a corresponding heat in her own.
