Disclaimer: I do not own the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series, nor any of the characters from it. I do not make any money from the writing of this story. |
It has been over a year since I began writing this story. It
took me a while to get the courage to post but it has been one year of writing.
Thank you everyone who has continued to read what began as just an image of
Jack walking up a cobbled street. It has taken on a life of its own and though
a bit longwinded at times I have enjoyed writing it and enjoyed sharing it with
you all, I just wanted to say this now, though it is not done yet….
Chapter Thirty Seven - A ship on the horizon
On a lone ship in the middle of a vast ocean a man
woke.
“Eh?” Captain Jack Sparrow stumbled from his bed, naked he lit a lamp adjusting
the wick before turning to stare at the compass on the table. It was spinning
again, first one way and then the other, twitching, bouncing. He leaned over
peering at it, one eyebrow cocked as he watched.
“Look mate if you are trying to tell me something then you best be a bit more clear.”
Nothing, so he leaned over and tapped it, the arrow swung wildly again,
whirring around and around.
“Are they in danger” he was becoming rather agitated now, the compass was
acting so oddly and he had no idea what it meant.
“well be that way then” he decided to just ignore it and began to back away
from the table, suppressing a yell as it suddenly jumped into the air, straight
at him, hitting him square in the chest, directly above his heart.
“Now don’t be getting nasty” he rubbed his chest before picking it from the
floor placing it on the table beside the locket. It appeared to be ignoring him
now, totally still as if it was sulking. He gave a hmpf of disgust and crawled back into bed.

Bella opened her eyes; Will was looking at her, his body still across hers,
their legs still entwined.
“Will” she smiled.
“Bella” he rolled carefully to one side so that he could pull her against his
chest “you are alright?”
“Of course” her eyes were soft and he bent his head to kiss her, moving away to
sit up on the edge of the bed. He could see the blood on her thighs, bright red
on the tangled sheets and he got to his feet, to wet the washcloth.
“sit up” he held out a hand to pull her up, kneeling in front of her to gently
wash the inside of her legs, an action that seemed even more intimate that what
had just happened between them, she felt a clenching in her chest as she
watched him wringing the cloth out. She had an irrational urge to cry, but
swallowed the tears watching his sure hands dabbing softly at her skin, light
pressure on each leg until finally pressing the coolness between her thighs and
holding it there for a moment. His face was intent, his eyes and hands gentle,
deliberate and she reached down to tangle her fingers in his hair, tilting his
head to look up at her.
“Thank you Will”
“Are you sore?”
She was a little but the cool compress was taking away the tenderness,
replacing it with something else, something entirely different, something that
made her wrap her legs around him again pulling him towards her. He smiled as
he leaned to kiss her, his fingers already moving to touch soft skin.

They had slept, cuddled close, talking, kissing, slipping into sleep without
even realising it, only waking when bright sunlight
invaded the cabin. Will had woken first, to watch her sleep; she had one arm
stretched across his chest, her face in the hollow of his neck, soft breath on
his skin making him think of the previous night. There had been none of the
detachment that he usually had with previous lovers, the holding back, the wanting
to keep things only to the physical, she had pushed those barriers down and for
the first time ever Will had not wanted to leave, not needed to maintain some
distance. He wanted everything of her and for her to have everything of him in
return.
She stirred and he looked down, blue eyes were watching him, a smile tilting
the corner of her mouth.
“Good Morning”
Her smile was a little shy as she answered, and he could not help but kiss her,
he had this sudden thought that this was going to be something he did a lot of
in the future, kiss Bella. As long as she kissed him back like she was doing it
would be no hardship, his stomach grumbled loudly and she began to laugh
against his mouth. She broke the kiss, moving to sit up, swinging her legs over
the side of the bed.
“Shall we get some breakfast?”
He lay back on the bed watching her, she had gone to the washstand and poured
fresh water into the basin, taking a clean cloth she
began to wipe the nights sweat from her body. Down her arms,
one leg at a time, her long hair falling over her body as she stooped.
Will felt his breath coming faster, she had no idea that the simple act of
washing created such an erotic picture, and that made it even more tantalising. His body responded, thoughts of food disappearing
from his mind as she began to wipe her torso, breasts and belly, humming under
her breath.
“Bella” his voice was low and he slid from the bed to take one step across the
room.

It was nearer to lunchtime when they finally left his cabin; Martinez’s man was gone from
the hall, replaced by another who went pale when he saw them emerge from
Bella’s cabin. They wished him a pleasant good morning, Will laughing as he
watched the man scurry off up the stairs, no doubt to report of most grievous
happenings. The kitchen was empty but for Esmeralda who smiled widely, winking
at Will before bustling to get some food. They sat at the scarred table, eating
cheese and fruit, talking with Esmeralda of all sorts of things. She had been
openly delighted that they appeared to have found a way to be together. She had
snorted when Martinez had objected to her
about Will spending time with Bella because she was the daughter of a lady. She
obviously had clear opinions of ladies daughters who had been left to fend for
themselves for twenty years, an opinion that seemed to be that Martinez should mind his own
business. Will was amused, but a pang of worry tugged at him, they were alone
here.
Where the hell was Jack?
The shout came from above, loud, urgent, and they could hear men running, to
the rails and then more raised voices.
Will looked at Bella and they ran, up the stairs to join the crew at the
railings.
“Pirate” the alarm came from the crows nest and Bella began to smile, Jack. He
had found them, soon this would be over. Will slipped an arm around her and
they watched the vessel draw closer, anticipation quickly fading as it became
clear that it was not The Black Pearl.
“It’s the same ship as took us to Cuba” Bella turned to
look at Will, fear in her eyes.
He nodded, his face expressionless, his mind racing as he searched the horizon
hoping that there were no other vessels with it this time, then looking for
Jack even as Martinez voice began to
shout out orders, to load the canon, all men on deck and the ship’s crew
erupted around them.
