I’m just borrowing them; no profit is made; they’ll be returned at the end, a
bit bruised, battered and otherwise mistreated – but they will be in one piece.
Hopefully.
On the latest trip to Tortuga, the Black Pearl had picked up
a new crew-member. Will paused in swabbing the deck to glower at her. Engrossed
in mending a sail with quick, neat stitches, she didn’t seem to notice. Will
transferred his glare to Jack. Standing at the helm, eyes fixed to a
destination only he could make out, Jack didn’t notice, either.
It wasn’t that Will didn’t like Xiaolin. He had said barely
a word to her in the two weeks she had been with them, and although she
chattered to him when they worked together, he hadn’t understood a word she’d
said.
Her eyes were a dusky brown and slanted. Her skin was pale,
but had almost a yellow cast to it, like lingering sunlight. Her hair, which
she kept bound in two long braids, glistened blue-black. Will could not
truthfully say that she was beautiful – at least by the standard of the pale
cream-and-honey English girls he was used to – but she was exotic-looking a
creature as any he’d seen.
The other crew-members noticed, too. Although she did not
speak a word of English, Xiaolin always knew when she was being propositioned.
And she always declined with a smile, and a shake of her head.
When Roland, a giant of a man with a temper to match,
propositioned her, Xiaolin’s response was the same. When he grabbed her by the
wrist, his enormous hand nearly covering her entire forearm, the crew
collectively held its breath. But before anyone could move, Roland was flat on
his back, having somehow been thrown by Xiaolin, whose head barely
reached his chest.
There were no more propositions from the crew, after that.
Xiaolin was friendly enough, and chattered away to everyone, especially
Anamaria and Jack, who spoke a little of her tongue. Sometimes she sang to
herself, not caring whether anyone heard, or whether strange looks were being
cast her way. But she was more than a capable sailor, and a hard worker
besides, and she won the grudging respect of the crew, including Jack.
Will couldn’t help but notice the way Jack’s gaze followed
Xiaolin’s graceful path across the deck. He couldn’t help but see the way his
captains’ eyes lingered just a moment too long on her slim waist and lithe
figure. But when Jack began to lean towards Xiaolin when he spoke to her, and
captured her had with his as they talked, Will confronted him about it.
“You said your heart was mine,” Will hissed as he snatched a
moment alone with him.
Jack chuckled, which grated more than if he had denied any
knowledge of what Will was talking about.
“And so it is, luv,” he said lazily. “But me eyes are me
own, and they’re free to wonder, are they not?”
Jack laughed again at Will’s stony silence. “You’re not
jealous are you, mate?”
But Will was. He was determined that the pirate was his,
and that no-one else should lay a hand on him – nor he a hand on anyone else.
So when he climbed down from the rigging one day to find
Jack and Xiaolin talking together, his arm wrapped casually around her waist,
the anger inside him began to rise. The two of them nodded to him as he passed
them, and Will grit his teeth. He was not angry – well, not furious – with
Xiaolin. But he decided he was going to have to teach Jack a lesson or two.
Jack whispered something to Xiaolin, whose eyes lit up with
a smile. She replied in Chinese with a pointed look towards Will. Then both of
them turned to look at him, and began to laugh.
Will thought that if he gritted his teeth any harder, they
would be reduced to powder.
He waited until Xiaolin left, and Jack was standing alone.
Will crept up behind Jack, and in a swift movement, pinned the other man’s
wrists with one hand, and clamped his other hand over Jack’s mouth. The pirate
tried to pull away, but Will’s training as a blacksmith meant he was stronger
than he looked, and he was furious besides. He half-led, half-dragged Jack down
to the small cabin they shared and slammed the door behind them, eyes snapping
with dark fire.
“What do you think you’re doing?” demanded Jack, as soon as
Will released his mouth.
“Teaching you a lesson,” growled Will, still not releasing
the other man’s hands.
He shoved Jack roughly onto the bed, ignoring the cry of
protest. Will climbed on top of him, pinning Jack’s shoulders to the bed with
his knees.
“Listen here, boy,” said Jack, a dangerous tone in
his voice. “On the Pearl, only the captain gives lessons, and you’re–”
