From the Sea (слэш)

Up until now, Steve Rogers has had a quiet life alone in his little shack by the sea, but things are about to change...
While on one of his rare trips to the village markets, Steve's eyes lock on a mysterious beauty... and trouble ensues.

Steve’s voice was trapped in his throat as he saw the people around the creature start to move again, someone tightening a rope around the beauty’s neck, someone else binding his arms tight enough to make him scream.
Steve’s heart was in his throat, his eyes catching the two large guards making their way through the crowd and towards the shrieking creature.
He had to make a decision, and he had to make it now.
“I’ll take him.”
