~Dawns Early Light~

            Dani was down on the shoreline doing her wash after having taken a bath and getting clean. She scrubbed each piece and placed it in her basket so she could hang it on the clothesline when she walked back up the hill. Her hair was tied up with a scarf over it to keep it out of her face while she worked and she hummed softly to herself. It was one of the reasons she was one of the successful ones. She went to great lengths to keep clean, and bathed every day when she quit working at dawn. Life was hard enough without being filthy in it and letting yourself wallow in the dirt.

            When she finished, she gathered up her soap and picked up her basket as she started up the hill. “Morning Dani!” One of the girls said passing her on the hill and she smiled to her in response. The woman made her way to the clothes line and put down her basket as she began to hang her wash. It wasn’t that she had a whole lot of things to hang so it didn’t take very long at all.

            Picking up her basket, she turned and walked up the stairs pushing open the heavy wooden door as she took out her key. She had it tied on a ribbon around her wrist for when she went down to do her washing so it wouldn’t get lost. Walking to her room she went inside and closed the door behind her putting the basket down on her table. She yawned a little and stretched some knowing that she should really get some rest. Taking her hair down, she picked up her comb and began to brush it to make sure it wouldn’t tangle. Then with swift masterful movements of her fingers, she put it into two braids and tied the ends with ribbons so they wouldn’t fall out.

            Unbuttoning her blouse down a few buttons she walked over to her bed that she had made before going out to bathe and wash, she stretched out across it and yawned once more before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep. There was time to take a nap before she had to bring in her wash.

            It felt like she had just drifted off to sleep when a loud banging caused her to jump up. Another bang followed accompanied by yelling and shouting. “Oh for God’s sake.” She said getting up from her bed as she hurried over to the door. It sounded like there was a commotion in the hallway, and if it was between customers of the other girls, someone was bound to get hurt. Or one of the girls could be getting attacked, which it was up to the other residents of the house to help them or they would get no help at all. Either way, there were those in the building who paid MacQueen protection money, and if they were involved in the mess, he and his boys would come around and cause trouble for everyone.

            Opening the door she went out into the hallway and frowned finding that the trouble was her own. Norrington was being dragged between two burly types towards her door, kicking and gouging at the ex-commodore every time he managed to take a swing at him. He was in an unspeakably bad condition, as though he had been on the losing side of a war.

            “What is this!?” She said as they approached her, and she could see that Norrington had been wounded where there were bloody spots on his person, and blood dripping on the floor.

            “This wanker started a bar brawl over someone sayin’ somethin’ about the British Navy. Stupid rum pot almost got himself killed! They threw him out the window. Amazing the fall didn’t kill him on his way down. Suppose he’s to damn drunk to have felt it really.”

            They moved past her and dragged him into her room and she followed after him in protest. “Well why are you bringing him to me.” She said as they turned him over one taking his shoulders and the other his feet hoisting him up on the bed.

            “Kelly said to bring him to ya.” Dani walked closer to get a better look at him and felt ill to her stomach when she saw the state he was in. Reaching up and opening his shirt a bit she saw that he had taken a blow to the shoulder and the cut was deep. There were bruises and scrapes all over his body, and a huge black and purple mark forming on his face. His breath was foul, and there was evidence that he had vomited more then once. “She said you’d know what to do with him. That you wouldn’t want him left out in the street like he was.”

            The two men stepped back and left the room closing the door behind before Dani could say anything or request assistance. “It was Kelly and Jess telling me earlier to pay a pound a week to a man I hate even more then you to have you removed from my life.” She mumbled as she began to unbuckle his sword belt shaking her head. Pulling the weapon from him she tossed it to the floor and rolled up her sleeves. “Get yourself all torn apart, and then expect me to fix you up.” Walking over she picked up the water pitcher and some cloth that she could tear up to use. “Bastard.” With a sigh she went to work.

~Certain Privileges~

            “Hold still!” Dani demanded as she looked over the wound on James head to see how it was doing. When she touched it he jerked his head away, with a sound of utter annoyance that she had touched the tender spot and it hurt.

            “Will you desist!” He demanded. He also had a dreadful pounding headache now that he was awake and the after affects of the rum started to show how ugly they could truly be. Dani grit her teeth and tossed him a cloth pushing him forward so she could get past.

            “You were easier to work on when they dragged you in passed out yesterday.” She said pouring something in a glass before walking over and handing it to him. “Drink this.” Holding the cold cloth on the wound she had just been attending to he started to drink from the cup but promptly spit it out.

            “What the bloody hell is this!”

            “Don’t waste it!” She said grabbing the cup away from him before he did something even more foolish like pour the rest out. “Drink the rest of this, all of it. You have no idea how hard this is to come by for the likes of us! Now drink it or next time I’ll slam my door on your nose and let you rot in the street!” She roared.

            Norrington’s eyes almost fluttered back in his head at the way her shrill yell made his head pound against itself and almost made his eyes want to pop out of his head. “FINE, fine! Give me the blasted thing! I’ll take it if you just keep your voice down!” He said grabbing it from her and gulping it down to the last drop before shoving the cup back at her. The taste was foul and left an even worse after taste in his mouth. “Now what the devil was it!”

            Dani took a strip of cloth and wrapped it around his upper arm dressing a different wound so it wouldn’t get dirty again, knowing that with Norrington, it would be no time before he was filthy from head to toe again. “Medicine. Although I don’t know why I bothered to spend the money!” She said. “You’ll get yourself killed before to long, and it’s a poor investment of hard earned working coin I must say!”

            “Alright, you’ve had your say.” He said just wanting her to be quiet. “It’s clear your skirts are ruffled that your floors have been muddied and your blasted sheets have been soiled when money wasn’t exchanged for the service.”

            She started to say something else but there was no use. It was like trying to talk to a wall. He looked around, “Where’s my shirt?” He demanded moving her things about tossing them from side to side. Dani clinched her jaw as she walked over picking up her things putting them back in place.

            “Your clothes are hanging on the line. Stop being such a pest or you can leave without them!” She said pushing him back out of her way and over to the bed sitting him down.

            “What do you mean on the line? What for?” He said looking at her as she finished picking up her things off the floor and putting them in their proper place.

            “Because, your stench was hard enough to bare, the added essence of the clothing that had been on your person since only god himself knows how long only added to the suffering.” Turning around she walked over to him, “Here, I’m sure this is what your so concerned about.” Dani tossed him his coin purse. “Count them if you’d like. You’ll find as few as they are, they’re still there. And a few I found that had fallen into your coat through a hole in your pocket seam you might not have remembered you had.”

            “You’re a rather presumptuous wench.” He grumbled as he held his small coin purse in his hand. “Going through my things.”

            “And you bled on my floor. I suppose that we’re even then.” James reached over putting his coin purse on the table by the bed. “You can’t keep staying here at night, James Norrington.” She said sternly, annoyed that he had done so as many times as he had recently. “I’m not fond of bringing paying customers into my rooms, but there are occasions were they prefer a bed. I can’t accommodate their wishes if you’re in mine. I have rent to pay, and my own mouth to feed without your drunken rotting carcass hanging around my room all the time.”

            “It was one time, Dani. Feel free to climb down off your cross at any point.” He said reaching over grabbing the bottle on the bedside table and pulling the cork taking a drink of rum.

            “It’s never one time with you.” Walking over she started to pull the bottle away but he reached up and pried her fingers loose from the neck of it and pushed her away. Putting her hands on her hips she starred at him, “Some of the girls suggested that I start paying a pound a week to MacQueen to see you stay away from here.” Norrington opened his eyes in mid-drink and looked up at her slowly lowering the bottle. “The way you’ve been lately, I’ve a good mind to walk up and have a bit of a chat with him.”

            Norrington’s face darkened, and instantly Dani had a sinking feeling in her stomach. Perhaps she had gone to far with that particular threat, in fact, she knew she did. At once she turned to run for the door but Norrington reached out grabbing the back of her dress so she couldn’t get away dropping the bottle to the floor. She kicked and fought to get away, but he jerked her back and turned her around to face him. “Just because you take bathes and wash your clothes and have some aspiring dream that cleanliness is next to godliness might give you the illusion that you are somehow better then me, Dani . . . your far from it.”

            Then he pushed her away from him and reached down picking up his bottle of rum taking a longer drink then before. Dani was frustrated beyond words, but rather then argue with him further she reached out snatching her laundry basket and stormed from the room slamming the door behind to go and fetch the clothes from the line. Norrington looked at the door when she closed it a moment before he closed his eyes and shook his head, running his hand through his hair in frustration with himself.

~Springs~

            “Don’t go out tonight.” Norrington said watching Dani as she laced up the front of her fancy dress and tied the ribbon before she began to fix her hair. She smirked slightly hardly paying him much mind as she reached for her brush and swept her hair up putting in a comb. “Stay in.” He said after another moment.

            “You been drinking yourself into the bottom of a rum barrel again?” She said as she stood up placing her foot on the chair as she put on a stocking and pulled it up her leg, then pulling a garter up over it to hold it in place. Then moved to the other leg to do the same with her other stocking. “You say ‘don’t go out’ and ‘stay in’ as though it was something I could do if I wanted.”

            “You said yourself that you can’t bring clients back if I’m in your bed.” She pushed her skirts down over her legs as she walked over to him. “So why bother going out at all, then.”

            “I said there are those who prefer a bed . . . not many care as long as they get what they want. You of all people should know that.” She said straddling his lap with one of her thighs leaning against him cupping his face. James reached around her and grabbed her backside pulling her against him as he looked up at her. “Take advantage of my hospitality, James. I want you out of here tomorrow. I’m letting you stay the night because you’re wounded. By tomorrow you should be well enough to be on your own.”

            Norrington squeezed her backside running his other hand up her thigh under her skirt before pulling it around his waist bringing her further on his lap as he breathed heavily against her chest. “If I’m wounded, then perhaps you should care for me properly.”

            Dani rolled her eyes slightly as her hand slid back into his hair and pulled his head back looking down into his eyes, “My hospitality doesn’t extend that far, Commodore.” She replied in a purely cruel and teasing manner. She was the only one he allowed to call him that anymore, and usually he insisted upon it in the throws of passion. She released his hair and stood walking back over to where she was getting ready for work, putting on her earrings.

            James crossed his arms looking at her, “Well then if hospitality isn’t going to be your venture, then I suppose we should talk coin.”

            “Not in your condition. You need rest, not recreation. Save your coins James Norrington. Or, feel free to make your way to one of the brothels on the other end of the island where the girls aren’t as familiar with you as they are here. I’m sure your reputation hasn’t preceded you that far yet.”

            “What have you become my mother now?” He said giving her a look.

            “Considering you were grabbing my ass a moment ago and trying to entice me to service you . . . I’d say that was an interesting question.” James rolled his eyes and winced when she said that hating the image that had popped into his mind. “But no, I am not your mother, nor am I going to be paid to possibly injure you further then you already are, laying you up for another day. This is the last night you stay here.” She said putting on her shoes and picking up her shawl. “I mean it.”

~Slow Night~

            Dani strolled along the docs looking about not having done much of anything tonight but walk about. No new ships had come in this week, and money was spent for the most part. She saw Kelly and Jess approaching her and smiled, “Hello girls. Any luck?”

            “Not tonight Dani, you?”

            “Not a bit. Might call it in early. No point in putting extra wear on my boots if there isn’t money to be had in it.” She sighed putting her hand on her hip. “Not that I’m complaining mind you. I could use a night off.”

            “You said it love. Half the time I have to keep from laughing until their finished, I’ve been paid, and they’re on their way. Honestly, no wonder they have to pay for company, they don’t have nothing that would get a cunny for free.” All three girls laughed at Kelly’s blunt words.

            “Better small ones then massive monsters that leave you aching.” Jess said. Both of the others agreed. “Those don’t come along to often though thank God.” She grinned evily, “But one every now and then isn’t nothing to complain about.” Dani’s jaw dropped at her friends confession and Kelly elbowed her as they giggled.

            “Alright girls, I’m off.”

            “Night Dani.”

            “Goodnight Dani.” She waved to her friends and pulled her Shawl around her shoulders as she started walking up the path towards the town. Walking past a tavern she heard some music coming from inside and slowed her steps. She was tempted for a moment to go inside and get a drink to be sociable. Perhaps there was a man or two with a heavy pocket that might like a bit of recreation . Yet she shook her head and kept walking.

            She turned the corner and began down an alleyway. The thing about taverns that she hated the most, was that to pick up possible customers inside them, you had to pay the tavern owner to hang around inside them. Which was a poor investment if there was no one to be interested in the wares she was offering. Not to mention the other faults of taverns that she simply tried not to think about.

            Walking around another corner she started to reach into the folds of her clothing to find her key. “Bit early for you to be going back alone isn’t it.” A familiar voice said. Her steps came to a halt and she sighed not even bothering to turn around.

            “What is it now?” She asked. “Need a stitch for a wound? Coin for drink? Or have you just come to ruin my somewhat slow evening with your petty attempts to belittle me?” She said turning around with her hand on her hip.

            Norrington stepped out of the shadows taking a hard drink from a bottle of rum before tossing something at her. She caught them when they fell against her and she opened her hands looking at them. Two coins, the same as last time. She jingled them in her hand slightly before looking at him. “I can’t be the only one on the island, why do you keep coming to me?” She asked curiously.

            “Are you complaining? I’ll take my money elsewhere if that’s what you wish.” He said reaching for the coins in her hand. However she quickly snatched them closed in her hand out of his reach before he could take them. He smirked. “That’s what I thought.” Dani gave him a sly looked before turning and staring up the stairs with him following closer behind. However he didn’t seem to be able to have the proper sense of balance to make ascend them without falling.

            Quickly Dani turned and grabbed his sword belt keeping him from falling backwards as she pulled him forward. He fell on her almost knocking them both over and she wrapped her arms around him with an ‘oof’ sound. “Always make sure I earn my wages don’t you.” She said finding his arm and wrapping it around her shoulders wrapping her arms back around her chest. “Alright, come on then.”

            Baring most of his weight, she helped him the rest of the way up the stairs. He walked in a zig zag fashion, and all she could do was follow along with him and try to keep him on his feet. They banged into the walls and doors all the way down the hall until coming to her room. She propped him up against the wall for a moment and unlocked her door pushing it open.

            Norrington seemed well and good enough to walk into her room under his own power even if it was a bit clumsily. Dani could tell he was trying to pull one over on her and she put her hands on her hips. “Who are you trying to fool. You aren’t that drunk Norrington. Stop walking around like your some infant who just got his legs. What are you up to.”

            “I’m not bloody doing it on purpose you wretch.” He said walking over and plopping down in a chair. “You think I like walking around with the earth spinning about me?” Dani walked over and placed her hand on his head. Then raised his chin so she could look into his eyes.

            “When is the last time you ate something?” She asked. Norrington raised the rum bottle to his lips to take a drink and she snatched it away. “How many times have I told you, Rum and spirits is NOT a food!” She said. “When’s the last time you had a meal? A decent one?” He didn’t answer and just grabbed the bottle back. “Pathetic worm. That’s what you are. Pickle yourself in a bottle, then wonder why the earth spins about you.”

            Walking over to the door she picked up her shawl again. Norrington furrowed his brow, “Where are you going?” knowing full well she had been paid for services that hadn’t been rendered as of yet.

            “I haven’t had my supper.” She said opening the door. “You’ll keep. I’ll be back in a bit. As if you’ve ever objected to resting here while waiting for me.” Walking out the door she closed it behind her.

            Not long after she left, Dani returned with food that she had purchased with the coins that Norrington had paid her with, along with what little she was going to save after paying her rent. James was half asleep and it took him a few moments and a bit of fumbling to wake up enough to realize she had returned.

            Dani went to work moving things from her table, before setting out the food that she had brought. Making two places, she divided up everything, a bit more on his side and then poured water in a cup and set it before him. James watched her curiously through weary blood shot eyes not sure what exactly to make of what she was doing.

            Walking over she grabbed his arm, and the arm of the chair and used all her strength and her own weight to drag him closer to the table. James really wasn’t much help at all, as his feet moved along the floor and he raised himself from the chair somewhat but only to fall back into it. Dani sighed as she decided he was close enough, as he was larger then she and it wore her out to try and move him about to much.

            “Eat.” She said handing him a piece of bread. “I’m eating my supper before anything else so you might as well have something to eat yourself.” James looked up at her before looking at the bread and taking it. Dani walked around to the other side of the table and sat down beginning to eat.

            Norrington didn’t have to be told twice and instantly dove into the meal that had been set before him. Dani didn’t say anything as he scarfed down one bite after the other, and she doubted that he tasted very much if he tasted any of it at all. He was hungry enough that he actually drank the water that she gave him needing something to wash down the food he was nearly inhaling and she made sure to keep the cup full each time it was drained. She watched him in silence eating her own dinner quiet leisurely as he didn’t look up once.

            When she finished eating, and Norrington had all but licked the table of crumbs, Dani stood and cleaned up putting the cups away and any other small dishes that they had used. She owned hardly any since they were so difficult to come by. James leaned back in his chair, leaning his head back with a contented sigh.

            “Feeling a bit better it seems.” Dani said washing out the cups putting them in their proper places, before walking over and pouring some water from the pitcher on her hands and washing up.

            “Do you always insist on making your patrons wait an hour or so before you get around to them?” He said not moving an inch. Dani glanced towards him slightly with a sly look. Gratitude wasn’t something they ever expressed. Neither one towards the other at any point. But just hearing the way he spoke, and seeing the way that moved about and wasn’t shaking so, she could tell that it was food that he had needed.

            “An hour?” She said sounding surprised. “A whole hour is it.” Turning she looked at him. “May I ask what you have been doing this whole hour that you have not even removed your weapons knowing that it is an obvious requirement if you wish any kind of service of mine?”

            Norrington opened his eyes and glared at her. “At least have the decency to be somewhat prepared for our visit before complaining about my making you wait on me.” Keeping his eyes on her with the same annoyed glare that she had an answer to his remark, his hands moved up as he unclasped his buckles removing his weapons and took off his jacket. Dani just smiled and turned around, finishing washing up.

~Shiver My Soul~

            Norrington held fast to Dani’s hips as her strong thighs thrust her body downward onto his throbbing manhood, driving him deep within her body with each ambitious movement. Dani could feel James’ hot breath on her neck as she rode him, and her hand slid into his hair when she felt his teeth on her skin, leaning her head back to give him better access to her flesh. Norrington’s hands moved to her backside squeezing and pulling her body tighter against his slowing her down for a moment before letting her proceed at the pace she had set.

            When his hands started to slide up her back, Dani’s attention became divided between what his hands were doing and what she was supposed to be doing. There was a little matter of who was in control of what between Dani and Norrington. Dani’s policies as far as her on safety went, was that her customers told her what they wanted and she obliged. They never took full control of the situation and she never began working blind to what was going on. It simply wasn’t the way to stay alive in Tortuga. Not to mention surprises in this line of work were never pleasant. James, as usual, wanted to take control whenever he felt like it. Change his mind whenever he felt like it. Not feeling the need to say anything, and just do as he pleased. It was the aristocratic navel officer streak he had in him that didn’t disappear just because he had lost his commission and been thrown to the wolves.

            When Dani felt James’ hands start to slowly move up her back, her own moved to his wrists and slowly pushed them back down to where they could rest on her hips. James opened his eyes and looked up at her even though she continued to move, as Dani leaned her head back a little tensing her body around his member a bit trying to bring him to his climax faster before this truly began. Acting as though she was only trying to guide him instead of hinder his plan of taking over.

            James trust his hips upwards moving his hands to the middle of Dani’s back, wrapping his other hand around one of her knees. Instantly her hand clasped his to move it away from her leg, but Norrington thrust harder into her body once more causing her to cry out, and sunk his teeth into her shoulder to keep her distracted.

            Before she could make another attempt to detour his intentions, he swiftly rolled their bodies, flipping her onto her back beneath him as he lay on top of her pulling her legs around his waist. Dani’s hands braced against his shoulders irritated that he was able to maneuver his way into the controlling position, but Norrington seized her wrists and pinned them down into the mattress below, his hips pressing hard against her thighs with each deliberate push inside her quivering body.

            As annoyed as she was, she opened her thighs wider to give him better access, and arching her back to thrust her own hips against his, moaning in approval of his vigorous attack on her body. Norrington moved her arms, stretching them up over her head as he bore his weight down on her a bit more. Dani was starting to question the wisdom of feeding and sobering him up before giving him his throw.

            Finally he released her hands and slid his arms under her shoulders, pumping harder into her. Dani’s body shivered and shook beneath his, as she tried her best to keep her movements in time with his, but each time she found his rhythm, it was as if he intentionally changed it. Something wasn’t right, there was something different about this.

            Dani could feel something was wrong, just by the way he was holding her. “Stop it.” She whispered when she had finally had enough of whatever game he was playing. At first he was simply refusing to let her get comfortable in any fashion, but now it was as though he was purposely trying to hurt her. As soon as she said something, it was as if he knew he was getting to her and he began to mercilessly thrust deeper inside of her in a barbaric fashion. “James . . . stop!” She said reaching up trying to push him off of her. But he just ignored her cries. Instead they just seemed to spur him onward in his endeavor. Dani’s hands started to smack at his chest and shoulders, but he just lowered his head beside hers to keep from being struck in the face.

            “JAMES!” She cried as he ravaged her body, when she started to scream his name clinging to him, he held fast to her body, reaching his climax and shuttering from head to toe, releasing himself deep inside her, nearly out of breath as his face rested in her pillow. Dani held absolutely still, hardly able to breathe herself, literally having just been violated, now nearly having the life squeezed out of her from how tightly he was holding onto her.

            Dani was in shock, but it seemed as though it wasn’t quite over yet. The room that was filled with only the sound of labored breaths, was soon joined by another sound. A sound of sorrow, of heartache and tears. But they weren’t Dani’s. As Norrington’s grip on the young woman’s body slowly loosened, his entire being seemed to go limp with despair. Dani was silent for several moments as she starred at the ceiling. Her own physical pain was unable to be ignored. Yet at the same time, as she listened to Norrington and felt the way his body trembled against her, she could feel how vulnerable he was.

            Sighing a little she wrapped her arms around him, shifting her hips a little as she slid out from underneath him just a bit. Gently she laid his head against her chest, and stroked his hair with her fingertips. Norrington wrapped his arms around her lying against her listening to her heartbeat as she held him close. “shhh.” She whispered gently, holding him tight.
