Here on the Sand

Here on the sand

Alone with each other

Alone with our thoughts

Alone with temptation

Here on the sand

It's hard to pretend

That his charm isn't working

That the rum doesn't affect me

Here on the sand

I feel something unknown

Something pure, vicious, and raw

Something he's brought to the surface

Here on the sand

He watches me silently

The firelight reflected in his dark eyes

As he takes another swig of rum

Here on the sand

The distance between us

Is both a blessing and a curse

But I can't see the blessing

Here on the sand

A cloud covers the moon

I reach out to his face

And touch his rough cheek

Here on the sand

He looks at me again

And this time

I see he feels the same way I do

Here on the sand

I lean into his body

Our mouths brush against each other

Hungry and wanting

Here on the sand

His hands slide down to my hips

I close my eyes

His plaything

Here on the sand

I forget about William Turner

I forget about myself

I forget about propriety

Here on the sand

The captain pushes me down

We kiss again

I sigh

Here on the sand

I no longer care

That I'm kissing a pirate

Here on the sand

His lips touch my collarbone

And I ask for more than I thought I wanted

Here on the sand

I know he's a pirate

And that I am the daughter of a governor

But the funny thing is,

I really don't care.
