~Early Morning Hours~

            James swam after Dani as she made her way a bit further out where it was deep. You could tell by the cold blast of water that seemed to come up from below just how deep it was and it caused a shiver to go up James spine. Reaching up and touching the rocks that the waves lapped around instead of crashed against, she stuck her tongue out at him and laughed.

            “Your mad!” James exclaimed reaching her. “Absolutely insane!” He said looking at her.

            “I would expect more from a Navy man, James Norrington. I can’t believe I beat you.” She said giggling. James smirked and splashed water on her and she laughed and splashed water back. “Ready to try and beat me back to the shore line or are you ready to cry defeat to a woman and drown yourself now?”

            “Hardly.” He said reaching up and holding onto the rock looking at her. “The only reason you won is because I took pity on you. Have to let you have your moment of glory and all.” He said arrogantly.

            Dani arched a brow and leaned over a bit closer to him, “Is it the cold or the head that the rum has left on you that is weighing you down, hmmm?” She said tauntingly. James rolled his eyes.

            “You’ll notice we’re the only ones out here, dear. That’s because your mad, and no one else in their right mind goes swimming in the deep ocean before sunrise. Freezing to death will be an odd way to die in the Caribbean but you’ll be the one who manages it.” She grinned and laughed a little more.

            “Yes well . . . dying of embarrassment because a Commodore was out swam by a common girl might be a worse way to go.” She said as she dove down into the water and started to swim back. James narrowed his eyes but then smiled as he eagerly followed after her powering his way through the water determined to beat her to the shore this time.

            Crawling up onto the formation of rocks where Dani usually went to wash her clothes and bathed because it was somewhat secluded James was the first to make it out of the water, even though Dani was close at his heels. Both were in rather good spirits, which was out of the ordinary as they smiled and teased each other. “Not so high and mighty now are we, Miss Dani.” He said giving her a look as he ran his hands over his face wiping the dripping water away and smoothing his hair back.

            “Now who was letting who win?” She said turning around what he had said when they were far out off shore. James gave her a sly look as he sat down on the blanket that was laid out and snatched her arm pulling her down and tickling her sides. Dani kicked her feet and laughed trying to get away. “James! James! Alright! You won!”

            “Of course I did! I shall always prevail!” He said continuing to tickle her as she rolled about. “Because I am the faster, and I am the greater!” He said grinning, as she laughed harder clawing at the blanket trying to get free. Finally James decided to have mercy on her and slowed his tickling. Dani rolled on her back a bit and he looked down at her. It was the first time they had ever looked at each other with genuine smiles on their faces, and a moment of joy in their eyes.

            Yet it was only a moment, and it was a bit strange as their smiles faded. They found each other lost in a gaze. James started to lean down a bit closer with Dani still in his arms. However, as their lips were about to touch, their gaze broke and their eyes turned away from one another.

            Dani slid away from James as she stood taking another blanket wrapping it around herself to dry off before going over to check and see if their clothes had gotten dry while they had gone for that swim. Norrington took up the blanket they had been laying on and wrapped it around himself to dry off as well not saying anything. Thinking it would be best to act if what had just occurred, didn’t.

            “The soap was an especially nice change of pace.” Dani said as she took down their clothes off the line she had hung finding they were dry enough. “I don’t suppose you would be interested in shaving.”

            “Can’t have everything.” Norrington answered when she brought his clothes over and tossed them down beside him, before going over to put her own clothes on. “You washed my clothes, I took a bath . . . much to my own protests . . . and I let you talk me into doing something which would have better been suited for doing in a boat. You’ve had your pound of flesh, thank you very much.”

            James pulled on his boots and then his shirt as Dani came around the rock. “I suppose then you think you should be forgiven for making an ass of yourself last night.” She said putting her hands on her hips. Norrington looked up for a moment at her.

            “Aren’t I.” He questioned reaching for his vest and jacket.

            Dani looked at him crossing her arms over her chest as if deep in thought, then a small smile crossed her lips. “I suppose so.” Walking over she put her things back in her basket. “For now anyway.” James glanced at her half smiling to himself finishing putting on his clothes.

~Rules of Engagement~

            James went back to Dani’s room with her and she allowed him to do, since they both were clean and seemed to be in good spirits. After an early morning bath and swim in an ocean as cold as ice, it was understandable that they were both more then ready for a bit of sleep.

            A cool breeze came through Dani’s window making the curtain’s dance about and she stretched a little rolling over into a more comfortable spot. James opened his eyes and looked around much more awake now then when he’d fallen asleep. Able to see through clearer eyes then usual, and actually have real thoughts instead of clouded ones.

            Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Dani. Turning over towards her on his side he just gazed at her, perhaps taking the first long good look at her he had ever taken since he arrived on Tortuga. Her skin was fair and soft, a mark or two here and there perhaps but she had been injured more then once over the course of her lifetime. Her hair was the color of freshly cut wheat in the spring, but smelled of flowers from the bath she’d taken only this morning. There was a soft, angelic look that graced her face while she slept, almost sweet and childlike. A side to her that he saw sometimes. That she let him see when he needed it the most. Times that he wouldn’t admit to if his life depended on it. But it was a side that she wouldn’t admit to having herself, afraid that it would show her as weak, scared to death that it would make her vulnerable to attack.

            They were so much alike in so many ways. Maybe that was why he found himself at her doorstep time after time as cruel and heartless as they could be to each other. Not to mention the fact that she was perhaps one of the few educated ones on the whole of Tortuga who could both read and write. It only made her more desirable company to the commodore then brainless, toothless, crones that didn’t seem to know left from right or the sky from grass.

            As James lie beside her, gazing at her now, he couldn’t deny the feeling that accompanied the thoughts winding about in his mind. She was beautiful. The way the warm Caribbean breeze shifted the curtains about making them dance, let the sunlight in to shine on her hair and face and warm her skin making her sigh contently in her slumber.

            Suddenly, Dani started to stir as if she was waking, and James instantly lie back closing his eyes to act as though he was still sleeping and had not awaken yet. Her eyes opened slowly as she stretched a little raising her arms over her head and sat up pulling the covers back looking towards the window.

            It would be dusk soon and time to go to work. Giving a sigh she stretched her back a little more before standing and walking over to her water pitcher pouring a little to wash her hands and face. James opened his eyes to watch her, unable to move his gaze from Dani for even a second.

            When she finished washing up, she walked over and picked up her brush and began to brush her hair, putting it up in her combs beginning to get ready for the night. Quickly James reached for his jacket and found his pocket.

            Dani paused when she heard the jingle of money and slowly turned around to see James’ gaze locked on hers rolling coins around in his hand. She smirked a little as she put her hand on her hip looking at him. “Don’t you need those for drink? Your eyes seem a bit clear to be throwing your money away on such frivolous things as a tumble before you’ve properly pickled yourself.”

            James didn’t say anything and leaned over putting the coins on her side table never letting his eyes leave hers. Dani arched a brow and took a breath. “It’s your money I suppose.” Tossing her brush down on her dresser she put aside her blouse she was about to put on and walked back over towards the bed. “Do with it what you like.”

            She started to ask her standard question but instead James reached up taking her hand pulling her towards him, catching her in his arms and laying her down on the bed looking into her eyes. It started Dani to say the least and her hands clung to his shoulders when she lost her balance so suddenly. The young woman was completely caught off her guard by his unexpected action. He was so completely suave and elegant in his movements when he wasn’t swimming up to his ears in rum. They found their gaze locked much like it was earlier when they had come out of the water, and once again Dani was in James embrace.

            The ‘golden rule’ so to speak, was that kissing in Dani’s line of work was strictly forbidden. It was reserved for lovers, not for customers. Sex and sexual acts might have been a commodity for trade, buying and selling, but the act of kissing was priceless, and reserved for truly special things like expressing love to someone special. At least that’s the way it was in a prostitutes world. They were more like men as far as sex went then women ever could be. Perhaps that’s why men prefer their company at times, but then treat them like dirt under their feet.

            As Norrington’s eyes moved slowly over Dani’s face admiring just how beautiful she was, he started to lean in closer. She watched as her breath became deeper and a little faster not sure what he was doing. Norrington found himself desperately wanting to take a kiss from those lovely raspberry colored lips. To feel their warmth against his own and to enjoy their sweet taste. Dani could almost feel the same desire, wanting to know what it was like to kiss him as well. For some reason she hadn’t really realized until this moment, she had wanted to know for a while. They paused just a small distance from each others lips, and it seemed like an eternity before the next moment came. James leaned down further past her lips to her neck and she closed her eyes turning her head away, as they both let the chance slip by, as he began to caress her skin with soft touches.

            James hand slowly slid from her neck, down over her breast the length of her body to her hip as he began to slide her petticoats up her leg, to find the bare skin of her thigh. Dani arched her back a bit finally releasing his shoulders now that she was a little comfortable again, not thinking she was going to fall. Norrington unwrapped his arm from around her back moving down a bit. His hands slid down her sides over her blouse as he eagerly caressed her throat and shoulders with his lips and soft touches. Instantly he shifted his attentions from her neck and leaned back to admire her for only a moment before he began to kiss her abdomen and belly, sliding her blouse up further ad he made his way back towards her neck.

            Everything he was doing felt so good, but Dani wasn’t sure what on earth he was doing or what he was up to. Norrington raised her shirt a little more baring one of her breasts, and pressed his lips against it suckling gently, flicking his tongue against the most sensitive center and savoring the taste. Dani closed her eyes and shuttered at the sensation. James other hand slowly moved up her body caressing her with his strong large hand as he did, holding her firmly as he continued to anxiously taste her luscious milky white breast.

            When he moved to her other breast, Dani gasped a little when the warm breeze from the window caressed her moist skin where his mouth had been. James covered it with his hand and began to massage it while he attended to the other his vigorously as the first.

            Norrington was master in his attentions, and Dani’s entire body was quivering in response. He had never been so attentive to her before, and it was making Dani incredibly uneasy to find herself so at his mercy. Taking a breath, determined to regain her senses, she slowly moved her hang through his hair down the side of his face and raised his chin from her chest, not wanting to be bitten by moving with his teeth in such a dangerous place.

            Slowly and carefully she pulled her legs from underneath his body and sat up reaching for his shirt and pulling it up, James raised his arms and tossed it aside. When Dani started to take her own off, he stopped her, and took over taking her blouse off himself tossing it aside.

            Dani just starred into his eyes dumbfounded. He’d never acted this way before. Norrington was on his knees looking down at her, after a moment Dani moved towards him a little and He reached out untying her petticoats, unbuttoning the button. Pulling her body against his, he gazed deeper into her eyes.

            Dani almost couldn’t breathe, he wasn’t the James Norrington she was used to at this moment. His strong hands caressed her back slowly sliding down into her loosened petticoats, slipping them off her hips and down her thighs. Dani was still lost in James gaze, unable to look away. Clean, his hair was tied back, and somewhat sober, he was a completely different person. Uncomfortable would have been quite the understatement.

            He began to wrap his arms around her again, perhaps to lay her back down, but in an impulse reaction to take control of the situation, Dani quickly reached up placing her hands on his chest and threw her weight against him to knock him flay against the mattress beneath her. James was a little startled, but not completely surprised. Dani was smaller and weaker then he was and it was the only way she had to get the upper hand that didn’t involve severely injuring the other person.

            Dani was suddenly plagued with the thought that her only escape from her discomfort was to get this over with as soon as possible and leave her room to go on about her work. A more comfortable setting with the time of physical work she was used to. Immediately she went to the task of removing his trousers once he was on his back. James just watched her in silence letting her do so. When they were off and she tossed them to the floor and started to crawl back over him.

            However, with one swift smooth move, James swept her over, and lay her on the mattress beneath him. Again there was that suave masterful display of balance and coordination that wasn’t usually there.

            Her breath was deep in her chest, like a scared rabbit caught in sudden lamp like in the dead of night. James fingertips reached up resting against her cheek slowly tracing the line of her jaw. He could feel how tense her body was beneath his, imagining it was because she was waiting for him to break her arm or something of that nature if she let her guard down for a moment. Once again he found the soft nape of her neck and began to place gentle touches against it, savoring her taste between his lips enjoying the feel of her warm soft body against his.

~Inside Out~

            Dani’s hands clung to James back as he moved deep within her in the final thrusts of passion. His eyes were fixed on her face as he watched her reactions holding her body in his arms, keeping his movements swift and steady at a deliberate pace. The young woman whimpered and moaned as her back arched to press her body against his anxiously, as every part of her began to tense to the point that she could hardly move but James didn’t let her go or halt his attentions. Dani was completely at his mercy, her entire being seemed to be immersed in bliss and indescribable pleasure.

            Norrington watched the way her face changed and moved a little swifter, pushing deeper inside her quivering womanhood, as Dani gasped for air her nails digging into his shoulders a bit as she clung tight to his body. Waves of pleasure coursing through her body as finally with one last deep thrust he reached his own climax, causing Dani’s body to tense around him once more and cry out his name. James smiled when he heard her, both breathing deeply, out of breath from their efforts of passion. Yet it was different from the other times he came around. Norrington had insisted that things were kept at his pace, a slow pace, and that he was in charge. Never once did he let her take the lead. Each time she tried to. He stopped things, and completely disabled her once again making It clear that it was he who was taking control tonight.

            Norrington licked his lips slightly before his eyes turned back down towards Dani. Her eyes were closed and she looked magnificent in the afterglow, still writhing about a little in his arms feeling small waves and aftershocks of the pleasure he’d given her. He grinned a little, even more satisfied that he had pleasured her so, and her body wiggling about beneath him in his arms wasn’t exactly an unpleasant feeling either.

            Shifting his weight ever so slightly, he reached up resting his hand on her forehead a moment, before he began to softly stroke her hair. The slight sheen of sweat on her skin in the moonlight that came through the curtains, even more tantalizing somehow, listening to each of her heavy breaths, as her breasts heaved against his chest.

            Dani’s eyes opened and she looked into Norrington’s which were like two pieces of broken emeralds that shone brightly as they gazed at her. She hadn’t had someone make her feel so good in a long time, if they had ever done so in the first place. Yet reality was slowly melting back into place, and she remembered who she was, who he was, and what this was. The coins on the side table were testament to that.

            “Dani isn’t your real name is it.” He said looking into her eyes stroking her hair.

            “Of course it is.” She said answering quickly. “Have you ever heard anyone call me anything else?” She asked almost gasping for the air to speak. James half smiled looking at her as he continued to stroke her hair ever so gently between his fingertips just admiring her features. Dani’s eyes turned downcast for a moment before she took another breath, “Daniela.” She whispered. “Daniela Josephine McKey.”

            “Daniela.” James repeated in awe at the lyrical way it seemed to ring in his ears. Much more angelic and feminine then ‘Dani’, which was no doubt a nickname, better suited for a boy. “Daniela.” He said once more in a whisper, as he looked into her eyes. “You needn’t hold back.” He said seriously. “I could feel you . . . pulling away from me.”

            “James . . .” She whispered feeling nervous again, “If your finished with me, I have to go. There are still a few hours of darkness left that can be turned into money on the docks . . . and near the taverns.” James looked down at her for several moments as his fingers stopped stroking her hair.

            “There is more then enough there on the table to satisfy a nights worth of work. There is no need for you to go out this night.” He responded to her attempt at escaping him, seeing it for what it was.

            “What are you doing.” She finally said unable to take another moment of what couldn’t be anything other then a game. “What sort of game are you playing at now?” She said as her breaths started to get deeper again but more in hysterics then anything else. Pushing against Norrington, he finally rolled off her just enough for her to slip from beneath him. Grabbing a robe from the floor she picked it up and put her arms through it wrapping it around her.

            “Good Lord, woman.” James said throwing the sheet back and sitting up. “What on earth are you going on about now?”

            “I thought at last that I have learned every facet of your bag of intolerable ways, your violent harsh mannerisms, your rudeness, and vulgarity . . . and then you surprise me by finding a whole new level of excruciating cruelty that is unsurpassed by all your other misdeeds!” Norrington starred at her for several long dumbstruck moments.

            “You call my making love to you cruel?” He said in confusion and disbelief. “Would you be so kind as to explain that to me!” He exclaimed. “As far as I could tell you seemed to be enjoying yourself quite immensely and you were NOT pretending this time. It was real, I could see and feel that it was real. So tell me how pleasuring you was cruel?”

            “You make love to your lover!” She shouted. “Not to a whore.” She crossed her arms over her chest. “You of all people should know that James Norrington. Coming from where you come.”

            “Who makes up these rules of yours you stand behind so fervently?” James said a little annoyed. “These . . . rules of engagement, these . . . unbreakable unspoken laws of walking the streets? Hmm?”

            “You did.” She said. “Many of them were made by men like you. Like you used to be anyway. Others were made by us . . . to protect us from .. . .” She stopped and turned away walking over to her dresser. “To protect our hearts . . . what little consequence they are to anyone but ourselves, from being broken.”

            James just watched her for a moment before leaning back on one elbow narrowing his eyes, “You know what I think. I think your afraid.” He said starring at her. Dani stopped and turned looking at him.

            “Afraid of you?!” She exclaimed insulted at even the implication that she might even be a little bit afraid of him of all people.

            “I made you feel good, and it scared you.”

            “Don’t be daft!” She countered stepping towards him. James laced his fingers together keeping his eyes on her.

            “Oh really? You were afraid that you were enjoying it to much. You were afraid that perhaps, just perhaps you liked my touching you . . .and even more afraid that you wanted to touch me back . . . and not by professional means . . . but by pure animal passion. Human nature wanted to take it’s course but you refused to let it. Because you were afraid. Isn’t that right?”

            “Shut it!” She demanded stepping closer to him.

            James sat up grasping her hands pulling her against him as he looked up into her eyes, “The truth is you wanted me as much as I wanted you, you could feel it aching down in your very core, but you pulled away from me, fighting it, unwilling to let it out. Isn’t that right? Isn’t it?” Dani couldn’t take it anymore. The sound of his voice, the feel of his hands on hers, the warmth of his breath, and the truth of it was, every word he was speaking was right.

            All at once, she reached up cupping his face in her hands and kissed him deeply, consuming his mouth hungrily like someone who hadn’t had a lick of food in days. James pulled her close holding her against his body, and Dani wrapped a thigh around his waist hardly able to contain the lust that was trying to burst from deep within.

            However she quickly braced her hands against his chest and pushed herself back away from him breathing deep and covering her mouth with her hands. Shocked at her own behavior and in complete disbelief that she had just done that. The first rule was to never, ever kiss a customer on the mouth under any circumstances.

            James looked back at her just as stunned. Her taste was still on his lips and he found himself desperately wanting more of the same.

            “Leave.” Dani said quickly backing up further shaking her head. “Leave, now.” Pointing at the door keeping her eyes turned away as she backed away even more, “Get out!” She shouted.

            James quickly stood from the bed and walked over to her taking her shoulders and pulling her closer, and kissing her again. Dani didn’t fight it, she kissed him back hungrily her arms clinging to his shoulders and her body starting to wrap around his in eagerness. However she started to pull back away from him shaking her head. “Don’t push me away, Dani. Please.” James whispered still holding her in his arms.

            Instantly they consumed each others mouths once more, and Dani wrapped her thigh around James hip causing them to fall against the wall. Reaching down he wrapped his hand around her thigh pulling her up around him a bit more holding her body to his as they rolled over and he pinned her against the wall trying to find a footing. Desperately clinging to each other as they sought out one another’s lips, savagely enjoying the taste of each wondrous passion filled kiss.

            Any rational thought was gone, and any hope of slowing things down or stopping them had completely disappeared. They were lost in heated passion, ravaging each other with anxious brutal enthusiasm.

~Avoidance~

            Norrington raised his head a little opening one eye looking about. He was partway under the bed near the window on the far side of Dani’s room. The room looked like one of the worst hurricanes in decades had swept through it, it was a complete and utter shambles. Slowly he rolled over onto his side feeling a bit sore in a few places he wasn’t even aware existed on his person. He smiled a bit though feeling the sore places as he moved.

            Running his hand through his hair a few times he sat up looking around. It took him a moment to realize he was alone, “Daniela?” He questioned looking about the room stretching up and looking over the bed. Slowly he pulled himself up grabbing his britches on the way. Sitting on the edge of the bed he pulled them on before leaning over digging around on the other side of the bed through a pile of clothing and debris digging out his blouse as he stood.

            Pulling his shirt on over his head, he walked over and opened the door stepping out looking to see where Dani had gotten to only to find Kelly standing across the hall leaning in on her doorway with her arms crossed. “What are you doing here? Where’s Dani?” He said looking down the hallway once more.

            “I’m to tell you that you had better get your things together and leave as quickly as possible. She’s not coming back until your good and gone, and your not to return. As of today she’s under MacQueen’s protection now. She’s gone to pay him. Doesn’t want you comin’ round her no more.” Norrington looked at Kelly hardly able to believe it.

            “You’re lying.” He said. “She hates MacQueen. She’d never do such a thing for any reason.” Norrington’s voice started to raise as he simply couldn’t accept this after what had happened between them last night.

            “You men are all alike. You think because we’ll spread our legs, open our mouths, or bend over for you for the money you’ll pay us, we’ve got no feelin’ hearts in our chests, can do whatever you like and play with us like we’re nothing more then painted dolls. . . .well I got some news for ya . . . we have feelin’s . . . we can love . . . the same as any ‘proper’ or ‘decent’ woman . . . the same as you, or anyone else!” Kelly took a few steps towards him. “Dani’s human. She’s got a right to protect her heart, and her feelin’s . . . somethings aren’t a game and can’t be bought and sold no matter how much money changes hands. So you just leave her alone. You’ve done enough damage as it is . . . playin’ with her like you have.” Kelly turned around and stormed back to her room, “So you just go on about your sorry life and leave her be.” Then she slammed her door behind her and locked it.

            Norrington stood there starring at the door after having been told off completely and totally. He clinched his jaw, not having been able to get a word in edge wise, and she not being the one he wanted to speak to anyway. There was no point in trying to break down her door, and no time. James was no coward but when this sober, he was no fool either. MacQueen wouldn’t come alone, or come at all. He wouldn’t send one or two boys after him either, he would send a whole group and who knows what else. He rushed back into Dani’s room to gather his things and hastily make his retreat.

            Kelly watched through her keyhole until James took the last of his things and quickly dashed down the hall and the door slammed shut behind him. “He’s gone.” She said. “I still think you should have sent for MacQueen for real.” Kelly confessed with a sigh as she looked over in the corner where Dani sat against the wall in a ball. Her knees pulled up to her chest and her face streaked with tears.
