*James P.O.V*
We were about an hour away from docking when I saw her. She was absolutely beautiful, her long brown hair fell down her back in waves. She had a set of curves and hips that not many women possessed at such a young age. Her face was easily the prettiest I'd ever seen in all my travels. I couldn't help but stare as she walked to the railing. She'd spent most of the trip below deck and out of sight. Her father hired my crew and I to transport her and her mother safely to Havana where they would live. I left the ship's wheel to get a closer look at her exotic features. I could already tell she was of mixed blood. She was a prime example of what perfection could be created by parents of different origins. I noticed that she had the same look on her face of every sailor that saw the sea for the first time.
"A beauty, isn't it?" I asked standing next to her, I was looking out at the sea and missed the stunned look on her face.
"U-um. Sí, es muy Hermoso." She stuttered out and rushed back toward her mother. I must have scared her. I watched after her curiously but noticed she had started to sway. I jumped into action when she suddenly fell.
"LOLA!" Her mother had screamed and I quickly carried her to my cabin with her mother following close behind. She was practically hysterical when I'd placed her on my bed. I wasn't exactly sure how to deal with the situation so I left her mother to do so.
Twenty minutes had passed before her mother left the cabin, seemingly deciding that she'll be fine. I entered the cabin when she was looking away and caught sight of the exotic beauty laying in my bed under the covers. I turned and saw that the clothes she wore was on my desk and was struck with the image of her naked body in my bed. I groaned and pinched the bridge of my nose wondering why a mother would leave her daughter almost naked in a man's bed. It took every ounce of will power to keep from pulling back the covers. That's it, she will be mine. I let a finger graze her cheek and then down to her plump and soft lips. It's not often that I feel such a strong attraction to anyone but I knew I wouldn't be letting her get away. I just needed to figure out how to get her to come to me. I already had a few plans on how to do that. I stayed close by for a good ten minutes, examining her features and committing them to memory. Looking at her seemed to have a calming effect on me. I felt completely at ease with her and even though she had passed out I could tell she would be fine.
"LAND!" I heard my quartermaster yell and I hurried to get back to the wheel and to dock the ship. It took a bit but we had docked and I took notice of the lass' mother heading toward the cabin. I immediately cut her off.
"I'll go get 'er Ma'am. I need t' get something from my cabin anyways." I said and she got a strange knowing look in her eyes before smiling and nodding.
"Alright and please call me Carmen." She said with a secretive smile before walking away. That was strange. I entered the room and saw her sitting up, looking around confused.
"I see yer awake." I said as I approached her bed.
"Sí. But where am I?" She asked and tried to subtly move away.
"Yer in my cabin. We decided t' bring ye here after ye passed out until we docked." I explained with narrowed eyes as she shifted away.
"What happened?" She asked in confusion.
"That's what I wanted ye t' tell me, lass." I said and sat down where she wouldn't be able to move away. I didn't expect it when she moved from under the covers and I was faced with the sight of her in just her undergarments. It seems she was naturally curvy because her corset didn't even look necessary to give her a figure. As I took in the sight before me she blushed and covered herself again.
"USTED PERVERTIDO! Did you undress me?" She yelled at me and I couldn't help but laugh at her.
"Unfortunately, no. Yer mother wanted ye t' be comfortable and thought ye would over heat in yer clothes." I said and she seemed to think this over for a few seconds before accepting this as the truth.
"Pass my clothes and turn around, por favor?" She demanded. I did as asked but luckily there was a mirror across from us and I could still see her.
"So what happened t' ye?" I asked and turned around as soon as she finished.
"I don't know. All I remember is starting to sway while I walked toward mí mamá before falling." She said.
"Hmmm. Alright well ye should get out there and calm yer mother down. We just finished docking the ship." I responded and placed a hand at her lower back and leading her to the door, just in case she fell again.
"Gracías for letting me use tu cama." She says before leaving the room and walking toward her worried mother.
From there I went to get some of my men to carry their luggage as a part of my agreement with her father. He didn't feel it was safe to come for them himself and asked that we escort them to the house where we would receive our payment. We went on the docks to find the two women looking around in confusion.
"Follow me. Yer husband didn't think it would be a good idea t' meet ye at the docks so 'e asked me t' take ye t' 'im." I said as I sauntered over to them.
"Graciás, Capitán Kidd." Carmen said and I directed the men to grab their luggage. I escorted them to the house and couldn't help but get caught up in the looks of wonder on the exotic beauty's face as we traversed through Havana.
When we finally reached her house she looked mildly curious and incredibly impressed.
"Carmen! Carlotta! There's my two favorite people." Called her father and my employer Alexander Grey, motioning us inside. Unlike most men of status Grey had a way of making just about anyone fond of him and he never let his wealth get to his head. In fact I highly doubt the man has a single enemy and even most pirates that would come across him would have some type of respect for him. He was an honest man and didn't just rely on the work of others to make his fortune. He treated everyone with respect, not just those with money. He was one of the very few people of the upper class that didn't rely on the work of slaves. But I guess after seeing his family I could understand why.
"Papí!" Called the excited young woman at my side. I watched in surprise as she ran to hug him, I'd never seen a lass so excited to see her father.
"Let's have a look at you. You've grown so much since I last saw you. My beautiful little Lola. You're all grown up now." He said inspecting her with a look of extreme pride that he fathered such a beauty. When his attention turned to his wife I stopped paying attention and directed my men to place their things down.
"Thank you Captain Kidd for safely escorting my family." He said bringing my attention back him.
"No problem mate." I answered swaggering toward Grey.
"Now, if you will, follow me for your payment." He said and lead us further into the house. I looked back to catch a final glance at the lass to find her watching us go. So I did the only thing I could, made her blush with a smirk and a wink.
Upon arriving in an office we were given two trunks full of reales. This man must really care about the safety of his family. We collected our payment and on the way out I noticed her mother staring at their trunks, trying to figure out how to get them upstairs with having to ask for help.
"Need some help with that?" I offered. She looked pleased by this before a wicked look passed through her eyes.
"Sí, Capitán Kidd would you mind taking this trunk up to Lolita's room?" She asked gesturing to a medium sized trunk, leaving me under the impression that she was fully aware of my feelings concerning her daughter.
"Not at all." I answered and made my way up the stairs with the trunk. I stopped upon reaching a door with her name that was open and had one of her bags already inside.
I placed the trunk down and went to get another before taking a seat on one as she entered the room in a robe. I knew she didn't see me because she just turned to close the door behind her.
"Twice now I've seen ye practically naked. If I didn't know any better I'd think ye were trying t' seduce me. And I must say it's working." I said with a smirk, scaring her.
"What are you doing in my room?" She asked, cheeks completely flushed.
"I volunteered t' help bring some stuff up. Yer mother gave me yer things t' bring up." I said and sauntered over to her. In all honesty seeing her yet again in such a revealing state was messing with my head, especially since she tied her robe loosely and it was starting to slip open just the slightest bit with each movement.
"U-um Gracias. But can you please keep your distance?" She stuttered, nervously. I didn't answer her and kept her walking backwards until I had her trapped against the balcony doors. I made sure to violate her personal space before I lifted her chin and tilted her head to the side. I used my other hand to tuck her hair behind her ear before leaning in and brushing my lips over her neck. The temptation to do things to this girl was so damn strong but I if I give in I'll scare her. So I just took in her scent of lavender to relax.
"Next time ye're in yer robe. Make sure it's fully closed. A lesser man would have taken advantage o' such a tempting offer, love." I whispered. I barely held back from doing something I knew I would regret when I felt the shiver run through her. Surprisingly, she was turned on by the aggressiveness, and I fully planned to use this little fact to my advantage. I always did find it better when I didn't need to hold back. I grabbed her robe and closed it tighter. I needed to make sure that she really did respond well to a straightforward approach. I slipped my hands down to her hips and pulled back to look her in the eye, watching for her reaction. Her eyes were half lidded and she had started biting on her bottom lip. I couldn't keep from leaning in but I did stop with a peck at the corner of her lips. I need to go before I take things too far, she was destroying my self control and she hadn't even done anything yet. I finally found the strength to let her go but I just couldn't leave without a few parting words.
"I'll see ye around, love. Oh and lavender fits ye well by th' way." I said with a smirk as if her mere presence hadn't completely destroyed most of the self control I had. She watched as I left with a dazed look on her face.
The smirk stayed on my face as I swaggered out of the door and headed to the nearest tavern. I spent a few hours chatting with fellow pirates and having a good time. I had just finished a pint of rum when fellow pirate captain Edward Kenway walked in and caught wind of my good mood.
"Hey Kidd ye seem t' be in good spirits. What happened t' ye?" He asked seeming genuinely surprised.
"Nothing much. I just made a fine profit from a job." I shrugged not really feeling like sharing information about the exotic lass on my mind.
"Good for ye lad. I just made the acquaintance of an amazing lass and got myself invited to her home tonight." He went on to brag.
"Oh, really?" I asked not fully listening.
"Yeah, she's really easy on the eyes. Nice long hair, tanned skin, and curves to die for man. Her name is Lola, at least that's what her mother called her." He said and I immediately perked up at realizing he was describing my exotic lass and narrowed my eyes in anger when he said her name. What the hell did he mean he got invited to her house tonight? What did he need to be there for?
"Why exactly were ye invited to her house?" I asked belaying my anger.
"For dinner. Her mother invited me and possibly a friend over after I helped carry her groceries earlier." He explained looking suspicious that I asked in the first place.
"I'm going with ye." I said and gave him a look, daring to tell me no.
"Why do ye want t' come Kidd?" He asked, he knew better than to tell me no.
"Ye'll find that out when we get there Kenway. I'll meet ye at 'er house tonight." I said and quickly left before he could press for more information.
In the time until I had to get to her house I cleaned up and tried to forget about the way Kenway was describing my exotic lass. I may be a pretty laid back lad but I was also pretty damn possessive and I've already decided that she was mine and no one was going to change that.
After enough time had passed I went to meet Kenway who was just arriving at her house as well. He looked at me with suspicion and surprise.
"How did ye know where the lass lived, Kidd?" He asked.
"I was hired to escort the lass and her mother over on my ship. We arrived this morning and I got my pay here after we brought them." I shrugged and he nodded in acceptance.
"Alright well let's get inside." He turned and knocked on the door. After a few seconds Carmen opened the door and looking pleasantly surprised to see me.
"Capitán Kidd, it's lovely to see you again. I take it you'll be joining us for dinner?"
"If it's not too much trouble." I replied and caught sight of my exotic lass running up the stairs.
"Captain Kidd! What a surprise to see you and you must Edward Kenway." Grey said entering the entry room and gesturing us inside.
"Indeed sir." Kenway responded.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance. I'm Alexander Grey." Grey said just as friendly as ever.
"Likewise Mr. Grey." He said understandably surprised by the genuine friendliness displayed by Grey.
We were led to just before the staircase where small talk continued. I was soon distracted by the sight of my lass descending the steps looking every bit as tempting as every other time I saw her. She couldn't see me yet because Grey was standing in front of me and she couldn't see past him. When she finally reached the bottom step Grey turned to greet her but she was caught up with staring at me. The expression on her face left me extremely amused and I just had to smirk. Her lack of attention caused Grey to get worried.
"Lola." He said and finally got her attention.
"Sí, Papí?" She asked, dragging my eyes from me.
"Are you feeling well, Poppet? Your face is red." He pointed out worriedly bringing even more attention to her red face.
"Estoy bien Papí. I'm just feeling a little hot after preparing your surprise." She lied.
"Surprise?" Grey asked.
"This way." She lead us toward the dining room. The table was set and a carefully made meal was waiting to be served. As we all sat down I made sure to sit next to her and block Kenway so he had to sit by her father. Dinner conversation was mainly Kenway reciting some tales from our travels. The dessert was absolutely heavenly. I've not truly had such a fine dessert before.
"That was one of the best dinners I've had in a long time. Ye really know how t' cook lass." Kenway said and I had to agree.
"That was nothing. You should taste su Andalusia, Pestiños y Almond cake. Now those are truly divine" Carmen said picking up the plates along with my exotic lass.
"I'll wash them." I said taking the plates out of Carmen's hands and walking to the kitchen before either woman could say anything. I smirked smugly when the lass followed me. She put the dishes on and tried to leave but I was quick to catch hold of her skirt and pull her back.
"Ye can dry the dishes and put them away since ye know where everything goes." I said and released her to roll up my sleeves and attend to the dishes. I fully planned to take advantage of our moment alone but I wanted to catch her off guard. She warily dried the dishes and put them away. She dried her and turned to leave but I grabbed onto her again and pulled her back.
"What do you want Capitán Kidd?" She was glaring, she knew I wouldn't let go since she would try to leave.
"I could tell ye that but I don't think ye would appreciate my answer." I answered honestly, tugging her closer.
"What makes you think I appreciate you tugging on me?" She asked trying to create some distance between us but a quick pull brought her right into my arms. She immediately turned red and tried to wiggle out of my arms. Unfortunately for her all that did was push her chest up against me and give me a pretty good view.
"Ye should probably invest in some dresses with a bigger chest, ye're pretty busty." I teased, she looked down, and she realized that what she was doing.
"Cállate, pervertido hijo de puta!" She almost yelled and tried even harder to get away. I held her tighter against me and chuckled, completely amused by her lack of success.
"That's a really good idea, struggling and pressing yer breast against me. I know I'm enjoying it." I pointed out causing her to glare at me and just give up struggling.
"Why're you doing this? You don't even know me. Why won't you let me go?" She demanded.
"Because I don't want t'. Ye should realize that I'm not going t' let ye go until I feel like it. I can certainly tell ye that with such a nice view and having yer chest pressed up against me I'm not feeling like letting ye go anytime soon." I merely told her and smirked at her blushing pouty face. I stared at her lips for a few seconds before deciding to press a chaste kiss against them, they were plump and soft. After I pulled back I knew I wasn't satisfied. It wasn't enough for me. I leaned backed in for a, harder, much more satisfying kiss. She started to fall into the kiss but was trying to be difficult by refusing me entrance. I let out a frustrated groan before biting down on her lip then sucking on it. This certainly got her to open up to me. I promptly made my way in to explore then started to coax her into taking part. She let out an arousing moan before urgently grabbing on to my jacket. I smirked and pulled back, everything would be ruined if one of her parents caught us. The pout on her lips and the disappointed whimper she let out made me want nothing more than to claim her then and there as mine. But that would come in due time.
"Still want me t' let go?" I teased instead.
"Sí." She said defiantly.
"Really? I guess I'll just-" I began but was interrupted by Carmen.
"Lolita! What is taking you so long?" She asked and I quickly let go and back away just before her mother could catch us.
"I was helping Capitán Kidd with the dishes." She lied.
"Oh, well good. Come on you two." Carmen said and lead us towards the sitting room. She stayed a few paces ahead of us, just out of earshot.
"Ye could just call me James." I offered and took the opportunity to place my hand on her lower back as we walked.
"I don't want to. And for someone who just met me you sure are pretty touchy-feely with me. You should really stop before one of my parents catch you." She said and failed to get away.
"Don't ye get tired of using my title? I couldn't care less that we just met. I feel like touching ye so I will. Besides they won't catch me, I'm more careful than that."
"Sí but that doesn't mean I'm going to call you by your first name. I'm willing to bet you'll get caught eventually. It's a good thing you're leaving soon." She mumbled but I heard her loud and clear, which just pissed me off since she was acting like she didn't enjoy what happened.
"I can promise this won't be the last time ye see me. Besides yer father and I have business so I'll be back tomorrow anyways." I inform her and felt a rush of anger when she let out a moan of annoyance. I simply raised an eyebrow and pulled her into a secluded alcove outside of the room her mother was leading us to and pressed a rough kiss to her lips. She was caught by surprise and couldn't hold in her moan. I pulled away smugly as soon as I got what I wanted, a vocal admission that she enjoys what I do. I lead her into sitting room where her parents and a far too smug Kenway sat. His eyes went from her to me and I couldn't resist subtly pulling her closer and narrowing my eyes possessively at him. He took this as confirmation to what ever thoughts were running through his mind. Grey stared at me while I led his daughter to sit on a love seat across from him.
"She was feeling a bit faint and I didn't think it would be a good idea to let her walk without support." I smoothly lied and his eyes flew to his daughter's face and took in the dazed look she still had. His stern look, immediately turning to that of a concerned parent.
"Lola, are you sure you're feeling well? If not we could fetch the doctor to examine you." He quickly began. She looked at her father with confusion, guilt, and love. She truly seemed to dislike lying to her family it seems.
"I'm fine Papí. I'm just a little tired from the day's events. Nothing a good night's rest won't fix. Besides you must tell us what you were doing before Mami and I arrived." She said obviously trying to distract him. Luckily for her it worked and he went on to discuss what he's been doing. Before long it was time for Kenway and I to leave.
"I'll escort them out." She told her parents who nodded and went up the stairs. She followed Kenway and I out to the porch before giving a surprisingly sincere smile.
"Thank ye for dinner. It was delicious and... Interesting." Kenway said knowingly before quickly departing and leaving us alone together.
"Buenos tardes. It was nice meeting you Capitán-. James." She said and surprised me when she placed a quick kiss to my cheek. I quickly recovered and gave her an honest smile.
"Likewise, lass. I'll see ye tomorrow." I said as she started to re-enter her house.
"See you tomorrow. And you can just call me Lola, I don't think you'd sound right saying Carlotta." She said with a wink before heading inside.
I couldn't contain the smirk that came on my face as I left the vicinity of Lola's house.
"Never thought I'd see the day mate. Infamous Captain Kidd chasing after a lass. Didn't ye say pirates aren't likely t' respect a man with commitment higher than rum and plunder?" Kenway said falling into step beside me.
"Don't start Kenway. I'm in a good mood right now and I don't need ye ruining it." I said and put him face to face with my hidden blade.
