Chapter Thirty Six - Beginnings

Bella woke suddenly, unsure of what had disturbed her, it was quiet but then
the banging at the door began again and a voice started calling out, asking if
William Turner was within that the Captain was wishing to speak with him. Will
had already sat up, leaning to pick up his shirt from the floor, shrugging it
over his shoulders even as he turned to face Bella.

�I will not be long� one hand reached out to grasp the back of her neck,
pulling her face towards him his mouth covering hers in a long kiss.

The pounding fist began again and Will sighed, getting
up to walk barefooted to the door, he swung it open.

�Just let me get my boots on� he looked down at the man who was peering around
the doorway, sharp eyes taking in Bella�s nightgown and the barely rumpled bed,
an expression of what could only be described as relief evident in the curious
eyes that surveyed the room. Uneasy Will pushed past him to shut the door
firmly.

�Lead the way�

The man did, and disquiet grew as they came to the heavy door of what was
obviously the Captains quarters, Will had been expecting a summons at some
point, but thought that it would be on deck, a general conversation, a
courteous enquiry after his health or something of the sort, but this appeared
to be more.

�William Turner� the tall man sitting behind the heavy table rose to his feet,
extending a hand to him, his eyes were like cold black stones as he studied
Will�s face.

�Captain Martinez� Will shook his hand firmly; meeting
the other mans eyes before accepting a gracious invitation to be seated.

Across the table they faced one another; a long silence and Martinez rested his hands in
front of him and then began to speak.

�It is an honor to meet you William, you are Bella�s guardian, yes?� the hands
lowered and the eyes were cool as they watched Will�s face, gauging his
reaction.

�I am her brother�s first mate, he asked me to watch over her when she was
taken from the Black Pearl.�

�So you are saying that you not her guardian.�

�No that is her brother Captain Jack Sparrow.�

�I see but it would be fair to say that you act in his place, while she is
separated from him.�

Grudgingly Will nodded, some idea now of where this conversation was heading,
Bella would be furious when she heard that Martinez seemed to feel that
decisions regarding her future could only be made by men. Will almost felt
sorry for the other man, but not quite as he had a fair idea where this
conversation was leading.

Martinez began a long discourse on who Bella�s grandfather was, title after
title rolled from his lips, relationships to royalty were explained and then he
began on Bella�s mothers side, more titles more royal lineage. He waited for
Will to nod before he continued, listing what would be waiting for Bella on her
return to her family, the life that she would have, the power, the title, he
spoke enthusiastically on this for some minutes and then waited for Will to
respond.

�Have you spoken to Bella about this?�

�She has been somewhat distracted, and the opportunity was not there,
and she is just a young girl she would not realize the gravity of the
situation.�

�Ahh� Will looked at Martinez for a long moment
before he spoke again �Bella is a pirate Captain. If you put her in some grand
house with a title, servants and I presume a husband that you will hand pick
for her once you are sure that no one will question her virtue, she will
wither.�

�She will adjust, I was hoping that you would speak with her, tell her what is
best for her.�

�And I presume that would include advising her that fraternizing with pirates
would be unwise?�

�You are an intelligent man Mr Turner�

�I will tell Bella of her family Martinez but any decisions
she makes are hers alone. She is a woman capable of knowing her own mind and
what she wants.�

�That being yourself from what my crew has informed
me.�

�That sir is none of your business.�

�She will ruin her prospects of a good marriage�

�I think that Bella would rather be happy Captain.�

�Happy as a destitute pirate, if you truly care for her you would speak on her
Grandfathers behalf.�

�There are things more valuable than silver and gold Martinez, happiness, love
but I see you do not understand that. I will relay your thoughts but that is
all. Good day Sir.�

Will stood, and strode to the door; he did not look back as he shut it firmly
behind him.

*

Bella lay in bed, she had thought that she would have not slept a wink, not last
night when she had lain with Will�s arm circling her, his breath on her neck,
ever nerve quivering each time he moved. She knew he was tired, the dark
circles under his eyes had only become deeper since Cuba, so she had lain
very still, willing him to sleep and at some point she too had drifted off.

Being woken by the Captains manservant was odd, she wondered what Martinez wanted with Will
that could not have waited until later in the day. But she did not dwell on it,
instead her mind drifted to every kiss, each touch of the evening before and
she found her heart racing and her breath coming just a little faster at the
thoughts. She hoped Will was not too long.

�Miss Isabella� the knock on the door startled her and she sat up so quickly
that her head spun.

�Esmeralda?�

�Si, may I come in?� the Spanish was spoken
rapidly and the door was opening even before Bella managed to answer.

The other woman had peered around the door her eyes crinkling as she smiled.

�I see your young man has arrived, now I know the reason that you would not
eat.�

Esmeralda was the cook and she had been most distressed at Bella�s lack of
appetite.

Bella smiled wondering what she was doing so far from her kitchen, as if
reading her thoughts the other woman shrugged her shoulders.

�The Captain he has sent me to clean your room.� She rolled her eyes �as if I
do not have enough to do.�

�I am sorry, to clean my cabin?�

�Si from top to bottom and under all the furniture
too, so you best dress Miss so I can make a start.�

Hastily Bella pulled her clothes on while offering to help; Esmeralda laughed
and gave her a push towards the door. �I don�t think that Captain would be very
happy to find you scrubbing floors�go.�

�If Will comes back can you tell him where I am?�

�Of course�

Bella made her way up the stairs and into the bright sunlight, she looked for
Will but he was not talking to Martinez at the wheel, the first mate was
steering the ship and the Captain was no where to be seen. They must be
speaking in his cabin. She would wait for Will in the bow; he would look for
her there when he did not find her in the cabin.

*

Will was angry; he marched down the hallway to Bella�s room, not bothering to
knock just pushing the door open. He was not sure who got the bigger shock, him
or the woman who was on her hands and knees washing the floor.

�Forgive me� he bent down to help her to her feet �I was looking for Bella.�

�She is up on deck� The woman smiled �So you are Will; I am Esmeralda, cook and
sometime cleaning woman.� She wrinkled her nose at Will and winked �the Captain
desired that the cabin be cleaned immediately.�

Will nodded the anger bubbling up again at Martinez manipulations
�thank you Esmeralda, I will leave you be.�

She watched him leave the room, before once more bending to her work.

Bella felt him behind her even before he spoke, she could sense his nearness
and her heart began to race even before his arms slid around her waist and his
lips touched her neck.

�We have been evicted.� Her voice was soft and she leaned back into him, he
pulled her closer to him so that his chest was against her back.

�I saw, Martinez has plans for you,
or perhaps I should say that your Grandfather has plans, Martinez is here to see them
through.�

�Plans?�

Bella spun to look at Will, her eyes shadowing as he relayed the details.

�I am some sort of lady?� her voice shook slightly and Will brushed her hair
back from her forehead as he nodded.

She rubbed her face with her hands �So that is why Esmeralda was in my room� it
was a statement rather than a question and Will nodded.

�Where is Jack� Bella looked towards the horizon but the ocean was empty, no
black sails coming to her rescue.

*

Jack leaned against the rail, one finger tapping rhythmically on the compass.
During the night they had been reunited, and more according to the compass, it
had gone positively mad. He had been woken by the sound of it whirring, the
arrow had been spinning around the dial, shivering, jumping. He tugged at his
beard; he had never seen the like. Had no idea what it could mean. This morning
everything seemed normal, he had a steady heading. But his thoughts dwelled on
the erratic behavior of the night before. Something was up. Something
with his sister and young Turner. They were either killing one another
or something else, and his intuition told him it was something else. He
shrugged, pushing his hair back from his face. He would know soon enough, they
were catching up; he could feel it in his bones.

*

They spent the afternoon sitting in Bella�s spot above the figurehead, Will
sitting behind her, pulling her back against him so that she leaned against his
chest. He had his arms loosely around her waist and took her hands in his,
running his fingers over her palms, down her fingers before bringing each hand
to his mouth, a kiss on each palm. And they had talked, of what they each knew
of Martinez�s plans, of what they would do if they reached Spain before Jack
found them and she had leaned back against him relishing the feel of his breath
on her neck, his face so close to hers and the way he would lean to kiss her
ear, her neck Every gesture, every touch making that warmth spread even further
throughout so that every nerve tingled.

They were summoned late in the afternoon to have dinner with Martinez, one of his senior
staff had made his way to the bow, politely clearing his throat, waiting for
them to turn before he spoke. The Captain requested their presence at dinner,
and a cabin had been made ready for Mr Turner. He had
insisted on showing Will to his quarters, stating that they might wish to
freshen up before meeting with the Captain. An order cloaked in politeness, but
Will smiled at the man as he left, his room was at the end of the hall
obviously the senior crew had been reshuffled to make this available to him. Martinez
making another statement.

Dinner was formal, Will and Bella had dressed in the clothes that had been laid
out for them and had been escorted to the Captains table by the same manservant
that had come for Will that morning. Bella was irritated to be wearing a dress
but the annoyance fading when Will whispered in her ear that she looked
beautiful, that and the way that he trailed a hand across her shoulder made her
smile up at him and she slipped her hand into his as they walked down the stairs,
ignoring the frown of their escort.

Martinez seemed somewhat surprised at the
ease in which they handled the myriad of knives and forks on the table but he
masked it and endeavored to engage them in polite conversation, there were
three others at the table, men that had some authority Bella presumed but she
did not pay much attention to them, or the conversation. Will was sitting
opposite her and she could not pull her eyes away from his face, every word
that he spoke making her think of how his mouth felt on her, of wanting to feel
his lips on her skin again. She was hot, but she did not recall drinking any
wine, the heat seemed to spread through her body and become more intense each
time Will caught her eye. Martinez was talking about
her grandfather, her titles his words not making any sense.

Will watched Bella take another bite of her bread, he could tell she was not
listening to a word that Martinez was saying, he was
not really listening himself, his eyes were drawn to her lips, her bare shoulders
and then lower to where the dress dipped between her breasts. The ache in his
groin intensified when she looked up at him flushing slightly, her eyes
focusing on his mouth before she looked down at the table, she was watching his
hands he realized, he glanced up to see her moisten her lips and he had an urge
to push the plates aside to reach across the table and kiss her.

The dinner dragged on, dessert, port, coffee until finally Martinez said goodnight to
them. Again they were escorted back to their rooms, the manservant leading the
way, Bella�s hand in Will�s again his thumb rubbing circles in her palm,
feeling her quiver at his touch, his own senses alight as she leaned against
him at the doorway to her room. He could feel the heat rising from her body and
he almost groaned when the manservant escorted her inside and then walked with
him to the door of his own room. No doubt the same man would be sitting in the
hall all night. Will grinned, seems like Martinez had no idea how
resourceful a pirate could be.

*

Bella cursed as she quietly closed the door, Martinez�s man was sitting
out in the hallway. There would be no just walking down the hall to see Will, she would have to go out the window. She knew that
there was room to inch along the side of the ship to the window of his room,
but she needed to change first. Minutes past before she threw the tight button
up boots into the corner and reached behind her back twisting her arms trying
to reach the row of tiny buttons that ran down the back of the borrowed gown.
She was cursing under her breath when she heard a floor board creak behind her,
then firm hands gripped her waist holding her as lips brushed against her
shoulder.

�can I help you with that?�

�Will� she was laughing as she turned to face him, the merriment dying on her
lips as she looked into his eyes, the simmering warmth inside her suddenly
igniting into a wave of absolute need. �Will..�

He did not reply, his lips were touching hers, his
hands sliding tighter around her waist, holding her against his body as she
reached up to wrap her arms about his neck. It was all heat, burning need, and
his mouth on her neck, shoulders was making her gasp, her fingers tangling in
his hair. She could feel his hands working at the buttons on the dress, tugging
at them until they loosened and he pushed the fabric down her arms, over her
hands so that it draped around her waist. He kissed her lips again, then the
hollow of her throat, she tilted her ahead and he trailed kisses across her
shoulders his hands resting on her hips sliding the fabric so that it fell to
the floor, a satin heap at her feet.

Bella ran her fingers down Will�s chest, feeling the smooth skin, the soft
hair, palms moving down his belly to pull the shirt
from his pants tugging it from his shoulders dropping it carelessly, hands
pulling at his belt buckle. Kisses, gentle nips, soft tongues that laved at
tender flesh and Bella stood naked, dark hair falling to her waist, his lips
sought hers again, kissing first her mouth them bending to put his lips to her
torso, his mouth moving to nibble the underside of her breast, tongue
flickering against each nipple so that she arched her back towards him her
hands grasping his head. His mouth moved up to the hollow of her throat, across
her shoulder and then to her neck, his lips sucking, making her shake against
him, to move closer to him. She moved her head so that her lips caught his,
hard kisses that seemed to never end, one merging into another, breath coming
faster and bodies responding now without thought. His belt buckle thudded on to
the floor, his pants joining it so that they were both naked, falling on to the
bed, never losing contact. Heat,
want, need, love.

�are you sure?� he did not stop kissing or touching his hands sliding down over
her hips to cup her buttocks to pull her closer to him, even as one hand
slipped between her legs, feeling the heat, soft, slickness against his
fingers, he sensed her draw a deep breath, that became a low shuddering sigh as
he touched her, sliding a finger inside and she moved against him.

�Yes� husky words and hungry kisses and he moved his hands, ignoring the
whimper of loss, pulling her onto the bed, rolling over so that his chest was
over hers. Her hands were running down his back, her mouth on his neck, tasting
him, making him moan as her hands moved to touch his chest, moving lower down
his belly, he could see the flicker of nerves in her eyes as she reached for
him, soft hand brushing over, then again to touch more firmly, unable to help
himself he moved a hand to guide her, so that she wrapped

her hand around him and he could not help the low moan that left his lips. She
seemed pleased at his reaction her fingers moving quickly then slowly, her
breath hot on his lips as his mouth sought his. Gently he moved away from her
to straddle her knees, to stare into her eyes. She was looking at him, at his
nakedness, her hands reaching to run from his shoulders down his chest to touch
him again, both hands wrapping around him, his moan was louder this time, and
he moved backwards away from her. Not yet�

Will� she was gasping his name as he kissed his her belly, grinding herself
against him, gasping, her mouth hungry her legs
wrapping around him.

�Bella� his arms to either side of her he looked at her face, Christ but he
wanted her, her hair was tangled her lips parted and swollen, her eyes slightly
glazed.

�Will, please� her hands were moving down his back again, instinctively pulling
him downwards, even as her hips rose towards his, he slid between her legs,
their eyes met, Bella gave a soft gasp, a moment of sharp pain and then it was
heat, warmth, pleasure as they moved together.
