Chapter 36
(Warning: Love scene ahead.)
Jack watched impatiently as Ginger held Felicity in a tight embrace while whispering in her ear. She shot a glare towards him and he rolled his eyes.
"Are you done turning her against me yet?" he asked as he tapped his fingers against his pistol.
"Actually I could keep going all night but I'll spare you the trouble." Ginger replied as she let go of Felicity and crossed her arms over her chest. Jack childishly stuck his tongue out at her and reached over to take Felicity's hand in his. He possessively pulled her to his side and leaned down to pick up her bag of things.
"Write to me." Ginger said and Felicity nodded with an amused smile. It was the tenth time she had said that to her that night.
"And you," Gin pointed a threatening finger to Jack who scowled, "You better take good care of her. Understood?"
"Aye, aye." Jack dismissed her and it was her turn to scowl.
"Keep doing that, love, and it will stuck." He commented lightly and she huffed.
"Whatever you say, Captain. Now off you go before I start crying." Ginger said while shooing them away.
"We're not dying, you know." Jack commented as he gazed at her like she was insane.
"I don't care about you. My concern is my little lassie." Gin said as she looked at Felicity tenderly.
"Thanks, Gin. I love you too." Jack muttered as he made to turn but he was stopped when Ginger pulled him into an embrace.
"Oh, you silly pirate." She commented as Felicity smiled at their antics.
Jack smirked and returned the embrace before he placed a light kiss on Ginger's cheek.
"Sure you don't want to come along?" he whispered and she shook her head when she pulled back.
"No, I'm good right where I am. Besides I never really liked ships." She said and Jack gasped in mortification.
"For the love of the seven seas." He muttered shaking his head.
"Did you get all your things, hun?" Ginger asked, changing the subject and Felicity nodded.
"Good." Gin smiled and stepped back from them.
"Come on, love." Jack said as he tugged at her hand and started walking towards the door of Ginger's room.
"Be careful!" Ginger said just before the door closed and they disappeared from her sight.
A few hours later…
Felicity was unpacking her things when the cabin door opened and Jack walked inside with little Johnny attached to his hip.
The young woman looked up as Jack approached the bed where she was laying her things and quickly placed the little boy on top of the covers.
"Sorry, love. Someone has to watch him while we're setting sail." He explained and she nodded as she smiled at Jack and then at Johnny who smiled shyly back at her.
Jack quickly kissed her cheek and walked over to his desk to pick up his compass.
"Where are we going?" Johnny asked cutely as he reached over and took Felicity's comb in his hand to play. Felicity smiled again at the boy's question since it was a question she wanted to ask too.
"Oh, we're just taking a tour around the Caribbean, little mate." Jack replied as he pocketed his compass and placed his hat on his head. Felicity turned to Jack at that and he winked at her before he sauntered over to her. He wrapped his arms round her waist from behind and leaned down to kiss her lips.
"Eeeww!" Johnny exclaimed as he hid behind Felicity's comb, earning a chuckle from Jack as he pulled away from Felicity's mouth to ruffle the little boy's hair.
"Be good." Jack called as he walked of the cabin leaving them alone.
Felicity was suddenly nervous. She couldn't talk. How was she supposed to keep a child entertained? What could she do to keep him happy and quiet?
"Can you draw?" Johnny asked her, breaking her out of her thoughts. Dumbly she nodded.
"When you're done, will you draw with me?" he continued and she smiled before she nodded again.
"You'll have to bring me my paper and colors…I can't get them." The little boy trailed off as he stared at his feet sadly. Felicity reached over and raised his chin up with her fingers before she tapped his little nose and winked at him. Johnny's face broke into a smile and he silently watched her as she carried on tidying her clothes.
Felicity was washing herself in the side cabin when Jack poked his head through the door.
"Hey, love!" he exclaimed as his eyes took in her state of undress. He found himself licking his lips while she wrapped an old towel around her body before she threw the bar of soap to his chest.
"Ouch! What did I do?" he pouted and she rolled her eyes at his childish antics.
"Good to know you're settling in, love." He said as he leaned against the door. Felicity noticed that he had something behind his back. She narrowed her eyes and he blinked his in return innocently.
"Oh, yes! Put this on before you come to bed." He said as he threw a bundle of clothing towards her. She caught it while he turned and removed his shirt before he headed for the bunk.
Felicity looked at the soft night dress in her hand and she blinked. It was silk again but this time it was a proper piece of night clothing. Nothing too revealing. She breathed a sigh of relief before she finished washing and put on the nightdress. A scowl appeared on her face when she realized that her proper nightdress was revealing most of her chest, leaving little to the imagination.
Of course. She thought as she heard Jack settling on the bed with a delighted groan.
She sighed and pulled the neck of the nightdress up her chest only to have it fall down again. She let go of it with a huff and she headed for the bed.
"All ready?" he called as he turned onto his side to face her as she slid next to him. She pulled the covers to her chest as Jack slid closer to her. He chuckled and reached under the covers with his hand to touch her stomach.
"You smell nice…" he murmured as he inhaled her sent and rubbed her stomach in circles. She smiled and leaned closer to him even as his hand started sliding up her stomach.
"It's a pity I'm too tired." He mumbled as he kissed her neck and snuggled closer to her. His fingers danced over the exposed skin of her collarbone and she shivered in response.
"I have to go out in a few hours to take the helm…" he muttered while delivering openmouthed kisses along her neck. Felicity's eyes opened at that and she turned in his arms to settle closer to him, pulling his body flush against hers in the process.
He gently moaned his appreciation and she smiled against his neck as his hand started rubbing circles on her back.
Jack rubbed her lower back, feeling the soft silk under his fingertips.
"Like it?" he asked quietly and she nodded into his neck, her warm breath brushing against his tanned skin.
"Good. Did the lad pester you too much?" he asked as he slid one leg between hers to warm his cold feet.
Felicity shook her head and smiled up at him as he tangled his feet with hers. She gasped at the coldness of his toes and wiggled in his embrace.
"Face it now, missy. You are now officially me source of heat while on this bed." He stated laughing and she stilled in defeat. She lightly rubbed her leg over his but her innocent action did little good to his rising arousal. He cleared his throat and settled his head on his pillow. He didn't want to take things too far. It was a miracle that she had agreed to come with him. He didn't need to push his luck on her first night with him on the ship. First she needed to adjust.
With that thought he pushed her hair back from her face and kissed her lightly on the lips and then on her forehead.
"Tired?" he asked and she nodded as she nestled into the crook of his neck again.
"Go to sleep." He murmured as he too closed his eyes and held on to her tightly. She gave a cute little sigh and closed her eyes too. Jack fell asleep with an amused grin on his face that night.
A couple of days later…
Jack brought the bottle to his lips and took a sip as he pushed back his chair and placed his feet on his desk. He closed his eyes and sighed before he frowned.
"Felicity?" he called as he opened his eyes, "Love?"
When she didn't appear he put his feet down and looked around the cabin.
"Where is she? She was here just…" he trailed off as he looked at the clock, "An hour ago." He muttered as he put the bottle on the desk and stood up.
Had he been sitting there all that time? He definitely hadn't noticed her leaving. Suddenly his eyes widened.
"I hope she's not in the bloody galley." He murmured as he headed for the door and recalled the looks that ship's cook had given her. Everyone had noticed except Felicity.
"If he's all over her, I swear I'll…" he trailed off when he opened the door and found her out on deck. She was sitting down with Johnny and they were quietly playing…cards? Jack shut the door and walked towards them with a frown.
"Love? Lad? What're you doing?" he asked as he approached them.
Felicity looked up at him and smiled before she raised her cards up for him to see.
"Playing? Isn't it a bit late for the lad?" Jack asked and Felicity bit her lip.
"I'm not sleepy. I like it out here!" the boy stated and Jack looked at him.
"He's usually in bed at this hour." Jack said to Felicity who blinked up at him.
"But-…"
"Silence, lad. Where's Greg anyway?" Jack cut him off sternly and the boy pouted.
He was feeling a bit left out.
Am I jealous? He wondered as he looked between the two of them.
Nope. I'm just concerned for the kid's nap. Right?
"Greg's in the galley." Johnny said while waiting impatiently for Felicity to play next.
"And you should be in bed." Jack said as he reached down and picked him up.
"But-…"
"It's late, lad." Jack said as Felicity stood up and placed a hand on his arm. He looked at her with narrowed eyes and she flinched slightly at his glare. She took Johnny from him and with a curt nod took him to bed.
Jack watched her go and then he headed for the cabin.
"I can't believe it…" he muttered when he realized that he had acted a bit strangely. It wasn't that late…But, damn it! He wanted some of her attention too.
He collapsed into his chair with a groan and reached for his bottle again.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid..." He muttered as he banged his head against his desk.
Minutes later the cabin door opened and Felicity walked inside. Jack looked up and cleared his throat.
"Is he alright?" he asked and she nodded as she bolted the door. A thing she never did.
"Sorry, I spoke like that, love." He murmured as she walked closer to him.
Felicity simply looked at him as she came to stand next to his chair. Jack leaned back and regarded her carefully.
"I guess I'm feeling a bit like a kid too…" he said with a nervous laugh and she reached over to stroke his face. He leaned into her touch and smiled softly as he closed his eyes. He felt her warm weight onto his lap and his eyes opened as she settled there. He blinked and his hands slowly came to rest on her hips.
"I'm a spoiled brat, am I not?" he joked with a lopsided grin as he leaned in to kiss her jaw. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she nodded and he chuckled.
"Want to slap me for ruining your fun with the lad?" he offered but she shook her head and rested her forehead against his. He pulled his head back and captured her lips instead as she melted against him. He might act like a petulant child sometimes but she loved him all the same.
The kiss started as a light one but soon it turned heated. Jack hands tightened their hold on her hips and her own hands slid into his wild hair to keep him pressed against her mouth. He groaned into the kiss as his right hand started creeping down her leg until he was able to slide his hand under her clothes to touch her bare knee. He moaned at the contact and his kiss became urgent as he crushed her closer to his trembling body.
"B-bed, love?" he choked out against her lips and she nodded dazedly. He growled low in his throat and stood up with her. Her legs wrapped around his waist as he guided them to the bed and he fell on top of her with a groan. His hands quickly rid her of her dress and his hands clawed desperately at her shift and stockings. Once she was bare under him he sat back on his knees and started pulling of his own clothing. He almost jumped off the bed when he felt her hands on his chest. She smiled up at him and slowly trailed them down to his breeches. His eyes closed and he fell down towards her with a soft moan. His lips captured hers as her hands slid his breeches down his hips until he was able to kick them off. His knee parted her legs and he smirked as he slid down her body to trail kisses down her stomach. He kissed both of her hips before he let his lips trail down her legs, to the inside of her thighs.
Her breath hitched when she felt his lips there and she closed her eyes as he moved his kisses to the back of her right knee. Jack's hands closed around her knees as he moved back and he pulled her down closer to him. He leaned over her again and rested his elbows on the mattress as he kissed her again. His hips settled against hers as he thrust up into her and she gasped against his parted lips while he groaned.
"So good, love." He breathed huskily into her ear as he pulled out only to push back in again. His hands searched blindly for hers and once he had found them he pulled them up and over her head. His fingers entwined with hers as he set up a steady rhythm and buried his face in her neck. Felicity's hands tightened around his and her legs flexed around his waist as he moved.
It took only a few more thrusts before he collapsed breathless on top of her, his body covered in a thin layer of sweat. He groaned happily against her chest and looked up at her with lazy eyes.
"Do I have to move?" he asked still panting but she shook her head and tightened her arms around him.
"Hmm…good." He murmured as he settled his head on her chest again tried to calm his racing heart. He fell asleep before she did.
Felicity watched with wide eyes as Greg and other crewmen swam around in the shallow waters of the small island. She bit her lip at the mere thought of ever being into the sea like that.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Jack's voice broke her from her reverie. She turned to him and smiled nervously. Her eyes widened again when she saw that he was shirtless.
"Oh, you noticed?" he asked with a raised eyebrow as he took her hand and stroked it slowly.
"I'm just getting ready for a swim…Which reminds me; why aren't your clothes off yet?" he asked and she gasped.
"None of that." He said when she started shaking her head, "You're coming with me. Today's your lucky day, me dear. I'll show how to swim." He stated rather proudly as he pulled her closer and started tugging at her dress. She slapped his hand away and stomped her foot but he only smirked.
"I can wait all day, love." He said and she sighed before she gave in. She pulled off her dress but left her shift on and then took his offered hand. He pulled her over to the steps that led down to the water and once he was in he offered her his hand. She took it and her eyes caught Johnny splashing water on Greg's face just a few feet away. She smiled but then gasped when she was pulled inside the water. Her hands reflexively tightened around Jack's who laughed.
"I could do without the bruises, darlin'" he said chuckling as he pulled her close and held onto her hands.
Felicity looked down and saw that she could barely put her feet on the sea-ground. Her eyes widened in fear and Jack noticed.
"Don't look down." He ordered as he slid an arm around her waist to keep her floating, "For the moment look at me." He grinned as he swam them away from the ship, much to Felicity's displeasure. She glared at him but he only smiled and splashed water on her face with his free hand.
"We better not stay for long. I don't want to spoil your creamy white skin." He said as he kissed her lightly and loosened his hold around her waist just a bit. Felicity started panicking again but tried not to show it…much.
"Stop wiggling, love! All the fishes will go away." He smirked and she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Now, now, isn't this nice?... You want me to let you go?" he asked quietly and she quickly shook her head and tightened her arms around him. Jack's hold tightened again and he smiled at her widely.
"Good." He murmured as he wrapped both arms around her and pulled her closer.
"I'll never let you go, love. Never. That's a promise." He whispered just for her to hear and her tender smile was quickly covered by his smothering kiss.
The End.
