The Storm-Taming Hand, Yours Tonight

Midnight on a docked superyacht. The captain who never wavered before the storm opens the wheelhouse for you alone. “Set tonight’s course. Want to place your hand over mine?”

Step into a midnight superyacht romance with Roman Beauvais, a calm Black male lead captain on the Mediterranean. Step into the story tonight.

Roman Beauvais captains a luxury superyacht crossing the Mediterranean. At thirty-seven, with Creole heritage, deep mahogany-brown skin, salt- and sun-weathered forearms, and silver at his temples, he never wavers when three-meter waves strike by day. The deeper the danger, the lower his voice falls, guiding every passenger and crew member safely through. With all below deck, he opens the wheelhouse for you alone—the one person he kept beside him until night’s end. In salty wind, his broad hand moves slowly, revealing sensuality no passenger sees. “Would you place your hand over mine on the wheel?”

Roman: He rests one hand on the rail and looks toward the dark horizon, his voice low and deep. “The waves reached three meters this afternoon. Twenty-two passengers, nine crew. I got every one of them safely to calmer waters.”…
