Little Pleasure
He stood there, hands clasp behind him, perfectly balanced on slightly spread legs, face tipped up to the warm sun, the crisp snap of the sheets above him, and the feel of his ship, his Dauntless, beneath his feet as it cut a path through the blue-green waves. It had been too long, far too long since he had allowed himself this. As misty rainbow hued spray caressed his upturned face a contented smile played at the corners of his mouth and he let out a sigh which if uttered under different circumstances would be judged as quite sensual.
Groves caught Gillette's arm as he started to walk past to approach the Commodore.
"Give him a few more minutes Andrew."
"He needs to be informed the Pirate has been spotted…" Andrew began and was interrupted by Theo.
"Not for the first time since we've been on patrol Andrew, and Captain Sparrow knows we've just picked the Commodore up in Port Royal. I doubt it will be the last we see of him." Theo replied, then with a pointed look over at James he added, "A few minutes isn't going to make any difference in our pursuit of Captain Sparrow, and really James deserves this, deserves to have this time to himself."
Gillette looked at James, debating on whether to interrupt his revere when the Commodore let out another very sensual sigh. As his complexion colored a bit and he looked at his feet he mumbled, "Well perhaps a few more minutes would not hurt."
Theo smiled and patted Andrew on the shoulder, "What say we adjourn to the galley for a mug of grog and plot our strategy to apprehend Captain Sparrow, we can talk to James once he's…. finished."
Theo continued to smile, and Andrew flushed even a bit more as they turned to head for the galley and James let out another quite sensual sounding sigh.
