They all got back to his ship, save Rumpelstiltskin, which Hook didn't mind at all. Everyone seemed really exhausted when they stepped on the deck of the Jolly, but they all seemed to gravitate towards the galley to get kind of substance. Which Hook didn't mind, for he was famished, but knew he would probably only have a little bit of rum to tame down his racing thoughts.

When he got into the galley, he immediately went to a shelf across the entrance, to get a glass to pour some rum in. Hook then sat down at a nearby bench, to drink in silence.

As Hook was drinking, he looked up to see Emma eating next to Snow White.

Gods, but she is beautiful, Hook thought in awe.

After a few seconds, Emma looks up, and all Hook could do was stare into her beautiful green eyes. Emma was quick to look down, but he kept staring at the beautiful blonde.

He sees her shake her head, and quickly look up and back down again.

Hook wonders what she is thinking about, and if her thoughts are about him, just like his thoughts are consumed by her.

I wonder if she is thinking about me, Hook thinks, and berates himself. Of course she isn't thinking about me she has Henry to think about.

What Hook doesn't know then was Emma was thinking about him.

The pirate is still staring, study every detail of her, when he hears her clear her throat and whisper something to her mother.

Both Emma and her mother get up, and start cleaning up what they had out. Once finished the queen went to go talk to her husband, while Emma waited and seemed to avoid his piercing gaze.

Once Snow White finished talking to David, her and Emma leave. Hook guesses they are going to bed.


Neal, Prince Charming, Regina, and Hook are left remaining in the galley. Neal has been giving the pirate hateful looks the whole time they have been in this room. David, hasn't looked at him, but Hook was sure he was brooding underneath his tough exterior.

Neal looked over with a look of distaste.

Hook has had enough, so he catches his eye and finally says, "Are you gonna say something, mate? Or are you gonna keep shooting me looks like a child?"

Neal is silent, and stops what he's doing. Prince Charming looks up, in case he needs to step in and say a few words as well, and also stops what he's doing. Regina, is just looking on with a mixture of amusement and indifference.

Neal gives Hook a withering look and says, "Stay away from Emma."

"And why should I do that, mate?" Hook asks.

"Because she is mine," Neal says like it's obvious.

"She isn't an object, Baelfire," Hook says with mild disgust.

"Don't call me that; my name is Neal. I know she isn't an object. I love her. So as I said, leave Emma alone," Neal speaks.

Hook rolls his eyes, sighs and says,"Are you so sure she wants you, and reciprocates those feelings?"

"Yes, we were each other's first love. So you can't steal her away from me, like you stole my mother away," Neal states.

Hook was hoping the prince would step in and say something, before he does something else he would regret on this journey.

Prince Charming must have read his mind, for he steps into stop the starting of a yelling match or more.

"Neal, Hook, stop talking about my daughter like this. You shouldn't be fighting over her like this. You need to wait to see who or what she decides, if anything. Even if it is to my disdain. No more fighting. Understood?" David says sternly.

After a while, David finishes what he is doing, and walks out of the galley. Neal and Regina also leaves. Hook is left alone to his thoughts and rum.

Hook drinks what's ever left in his mug, he then gets up to clean the mug and put that away, blows out all but one oil lamp, then leaves to go to his own cabin.

When he gets to his cabin, he walks over to his desk, and puts the oil lamp on it. Hook then takes off all his clothes, for he likes to sleep in the nude, and puts all the things he took off in their respectable place.

He finally gets into bed, above the covers, and of course his mind goes straight to the beautiful blonde goddess.

Besides the fact he is nude, his mind starts thinking of her soft lips, and her pale creamy skin. He wonders what it would feel like to have her hands all over him, and what her full breasts feel like in his hand.

From this thought, all the blood in him seems to rush down south. He decides to take himself in hand, and give himself the much needed release. He starts to stroke himself while thinking of how it might feel if she were to trail her lips down his well toned stomach to his rock hard cock. How she would look when she wraps her pretty mouth around the tip of his cock.

A gorgeous sight, he thought.

How it might feel when she would lick and suck his cock. How he would put his hand in her soft luscious hair, as she bobbed up and down.

Hook starts to stroke faster, smearing the precum at his tip, trying to reach his climax.

He's not far from climaxing, when he thinks of his cock reaching the back of her throat and her swallowing around him. He bites his lip, still stroking his cock, and breathing loudly through his nose. His heart is beating fast. His forehead is slick with sweat. When he finally comes, his release comes in long hot streams on his hand and stomach. Hook lays still for a minute or two, trying to calm his beating heart.

Once his heart is beating at a steady pace, he decides to get up and clean himself up. After that is done, he walks back over to his bed and gets under the covers. Hook closes his eyes, and hopes he can get a semblance of sleep, since he did get much needed release.


He couldn't sleep. He didn't know if it was being back on this cursed island with the bloody demon, or if it was his subconscious thinking about one person he has been thinking about a lot. Emma.

Probably the latter, Hook thought.

All he could see when he closed his eyes were fierce, green eyes, wavy blonde hair, and a guarded heart that he hoped he could get through to.

Instead of trying to sleep in a bed that seemed too big, he found himself up on deck watching the waves. The sea use to give him a sense of peace, but now it isn't helping at all with his racing thoughts. Hook just couldn't turn them off.

Fuck! I need to tell her how I feel, before I do something I'll regret, he thought.

Like getting drunk, and telling everyone you and Emma shared a kiss? His subconscious asked him bitterly.

I do need to tell her how I feel, but I also need to help Henry, he thought.

That's why they are all on Neverland. She needs her son, first and foremost, before she needs a relationship.

I don't think Neal realizes that, Hook thought bitterly.

I need to show her that I am not just this pirate in hopes in bedding her and leaving. To show her I am not just like everyone who has been in her life, he thinks determinedly.

After his thoughts quiet down, once he has an idea of what to do, he hears footsteps nearby on deck. He turns to see the very person who has been consuming his thoughts, Emma. He smiles to himself when he sees her.

Hook sees her walk over to the railing, just staring out at the water. He decides to walk over to her, and starts quietly walk across the deck.

She tenses when he gets closer to her, and she turns around to look at him. When she does that, he notices the flush on her face, and the tired look in her eyes.

Emma turns back around to stare at the water around them, and quietly says, "What do you want, Hook?"

He feels the tension slowly fill the air around them.

Why is she up here? He thinks.

Hook doesn't say anything for a few seconds, and he decides to move closer to her so he leans next to her on the railing. Hook is look at her, searching her face before he says,"Just wanted to know if you were alright."

Emma doesn't answer right away, which he thinks she's thinking over her answer, but then her flush turns a deeper red.

She's beautiful like this, Hook thinks dreamly.

He sees her shake her head, and then she finally answers with her usual "I'm fine."

Hook is unconvinced with that statement, and says,"Well, your flushed face and tired eyes, says otherwise. So why are you up here?"

Emma with her signature roll of the eyes, and says, "Fine, I couldn't sleep."

He understands that. He couldn't sleep, and he suspects she has a lot on her mind, what with Henry and all.

Hook turns away from Emma, and looks out at the vast water in front of him.

It's quiet for a while, and they are standing in what he thinks is a comfortable silence.

She's the one who breaks the silence, when she asks, "So why are you up here?"

He doesn't tell her that she was consuming his thoughts, making him not able to sleep. Oh, no. Hook just goes with the easier answer.

"Couldn't sleep as well."

It's silent again.

I need to tell her something, Hook thinks. Something that justifies what he thinks about them, and how he feels about her.

Hook decides this is the best time as any other to tell her what he thinks, so he turns his head, catching her looking at him, to search her face. He's looking to see if what he says might scare her off for good, but all he finds there is her eyes aren't guarded as usual, so he opens his mouth to say what he needs to say.

"Emma, I just want you to know that I'm not like Neal, or the others. I won't leave when you try to push me away. I will stand by your side, I'll still be here after we rescue Henry, because we will rescue him. I will climb those walls of yours," he says determinedly.

When he finishes, Emma has a stunned look on her face. She is just staring and doesn't look like she is going to say something, so he thinks it's time go back to his quarters.

He turns to walk away, but then thinks he needs to say more so he stops, and says, "And Emma, When I win your heart, and I will win it. It won't be because of any trickery. It will be because you want me."

With that said, Hook starts to walk to the stairs that lead to his quarters.

When he gets into his room, he undresses, and gets back into bed. He hopes Emma would think about what he said. Hook doesn't care if Emma chooses to do something about the connection between them before or after they rescue Henry. If it happens before they find Henry, then he'll try not to distract Emma too much. If it happens afterwards and she doesn't have any interest in getting back together with Neal then He will fight to show her that he won't leave high and dry, for a man unwilling to fight for he wants deserves what he gets.
