Where the Heart Lies

He buries his nose against the crook of her arm. Her smooth, soft, mocha skin smells like spicy cayenne pepper. He can taste it burning his tongue. Tia lets out a heavy sigh in her sleep, her eyelids fluttering open and closed. Will trails a long, slender finger down her bare stomach and watches her tremble slightly. She is different in every way possible from Elizabeth.

Elizabeth comes from a world of upper class. She is the governor's daughter, although due to recent events that doesn't hold as much prestige as it once did. She is fair skinned, skinny, light haired and sparkling eyes. She can be brash, but Will thinks most of that comes from fear. The fear that a woman will never be taken seriously unless she is bold and uncouth. She loves Will. She is everything that Will could hope for, she is everything that he has loved….until now.

Tia lies next to him with her deliciously curved body, her breasts so full that he has a hard time keeping them cupped in his hands. Her hips so round and firm that he is afraid his grip will never be strong enough to keep them held. Her dark eyes sparkle with mischief and an almost evil desire. She too is bold and brash, but he can sense that she has always been that way. He can tell that Tia is highly respected, she stirs up fear from everyone that crosses her path. He remembers being slightly terrified when they first met. She has a strong power beneath her silky, dark skin.

"You have a touch of destiny about you, William Turner," Tia told him with a playful smirk on her face.

"You know me?" Will asked.

"You want to know me."

Well, she was right. Why would either of them listen to Jack? Will lifts his body up and looked down at her sleeping form. He watches her breasts heave up and down as she took in shallow breaths. He couldn't help but reach down and take one of her dark nipples in between his fingers, rolling the bud back and forth. She lets out a soft moan in her sleep. Sex was different with Tia as well.

Tia was a woman with experience, nothing Will did to her last night shocked her. Will had surprised Elizabeth a few times. He had made the petite, virginal lass blush and gasp. Elizabeth's moans were so soft and feminine. Tia's were wild and animalistic. They made him shiver. They made him crave more. They made him ache when contact had been lost.

"William!" Tia cried out as she arched up, digging her dirty nails into his smooth, tanned back.

"Tia…ooo…Tia," William moaned against her supple breast before nibbling on her erect nipple.

Their breathing became ragged and heavy. She clutched his arms as the two trembled into release.

"Ya best be going 'fore da others begin to worry 'bout ya," Tia says softly as her dark eyes fluttered open.

"You're probably right," William whispers, leaning down and kissing her plush, black lips.

He pulls his clothes back on and gives her one last longing glance before he stands to leave.

"Guard yer heart well, William Tuner. Ya never know when it might betray you," Tia calls out after him, her voice floating over the gentle breeze.
