Fluffy pirate sex!

-Chapter 10-

Rachel stayed by Quinn's side for the three days she was mostly unconscious. Rachel had immediately found Puck after the captain remained unresponsive following her fall and he got her into her bed. Kurt found an empty glass container and filled it with saltwater just in time for Juliet, who they found suctioned to one of the top corners of Quinn's cabin. Kurt nursed the octopus while Brittany helped Rachel tend to the captain, keeping the cuts on her face and neck clean and applying pressure when the particularly deep gash on her forehead would open up.

Quinn's eyes fluttered open to the sound of yelling outside her cabin door. She groaned at the light and the soreness on her forehead and listened to the arguing voices.

"But why is the rum gone?" Puck yelled.

"Because that vile drink is what caused all of this!" Quinn heard Rachel shriek. "It turns all of you into complete heathens and I won't have any more of it! Once I am off of this ship you can do what you please but until then I have decided that this is what is best. If you want it so badly then jump out after the barrels but don't expect for a boat to be sent after you!"

Quinn sat up a little when Rachel entered back into the cabin. The brunette shut the door quietly and gasped when she turned around to see Quinn sitting up, awake.

"Quinn…you're awake." Rachel crossed the floor and stood at the edge of the bed with her arms crossed over her chest. "How are you feeling?"

"I…don't know. Why is the rum gone?"

"Because I ordered it thrown overboard."

Quinn blinked. "You did…what?"

"I ordered every single barrel of rum thrown overboard. I'll tell you what I told Noah, if you want it so much then feel free to jump overboard to get it. I won't stop you."

"I did something wrong, didn't I?" Quinn muttered. She looked down at her lap and picked at her fingernails.

Rachel snorted. "If you call attempting to force me into bed and telling me that you wish you'd shot or left me on board the Glee while you set it on fire then yes, you did something wrong."

"I was…"

"Drunk. Very drunk. And extremely unpleasant."

Quinn rolled her eyes. It hurt a little and she winced but she kept her jaw clenched shut. "Why do you want me to change? If I want to drink I'm going to drink. Allow me to spend my last days the way I want, will you?"

"You're not going to die, Quinn."

"Since when is the punishment for murder and piracy anything less than going to the gallows?"

"We'll discuss that later. You need to eat something. You've been unconscious for three days, you've managed to swallow some broth every now and then but you need to eat now. I'm going to go tell Noah to prepare you some rice." Rachel stood and moved to the door.

Quinn threw the blankets back and swung her feet over the edge of the bed. "What I need is to get up and go captain my ship."

Rachel groaned. "No, stay in bed."

"Don't tell me what to do! I'm the captain, I'll do as I please!" Quinn stood up a little too quickly and stumbled from the light-headedness. She took a few steps before the before the dizziness became too much and she went weak at the knees. Rachel was at her side holding her up and pulling her back to the bed before she hit the floor. Quinn felt an odd sensation on her head and reached up to touch the bandage that was wrapped around it. When she pulled her fingers away they were tinged with red.

"Look what you've done," Rachel sighed. She sat Quinn down on the bed and went to the desk to retrieve clean bandages. She unwrapped the existing ones and pressed a cloth to the gash. "You need to stay in bed until that is healed. It's very deep and you lost a lot of blood from it. Santana has done just fine captaining and will continue to do so."

"Housewife," Quinn muttered.

Rachel shrugged. "You said the same thing when you were drunk. I thought about it and perhaps maybe you're right, I could be a housewife. Maybe my fear wasn't becoming one, it was becoming one with someone I didn't care about."

"Why do you care about me? I've been awful to you."

"I'm fairly certain that throwing the rum overboard will remedy that. You were actually quite pleasant in the time between beginning the courtship and your drunken rampage."

Rachel re-wrapped Quinn's head and guided her back to lie down again. The captain sighed and reached out to grab Rachel's wrist when she started to walk away.

"I'm sorry, Rachel. It won't happen again, I promise."

Rachel nodded. "I know. I'll be back with your meal."

...............

Rachel allowed Quinn to leave the cabin a week after she woke up and the gash on her forehead was mostly healed and not sporadically opening up anymore. The other cuts had been minor and healed just fine but the one on her forehead was going to leave a scar. When she was finally able to take back over the captain was happy to find that her ship hadn't completely fallen apart and that Santana had actually done well. Artie had kept her charts up to date and Quinn sighed when she calculated that there were only about ten days left before they were expected to see the city. She briefly thought about changing her plans but with not much time before landfall there wasn't much of an option now. And she ultimately decided that she would go mad if she didn't do what she intended.

A week before they were scheduled to arrive at port, Quinn was standing up at the bow of her ship looking off into the darkness. The sun had long since fallen below the never ending horizon and the air was cold but Quinn just stared out into the blackness. There was a sudden warmth behind her as a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and a small body pressed itself against her back.

"It's cold," Rachel whispered. "You should come to bed."

"The stars are beautiful tonight," Quinn sighed. She turned around and wrapped her arms around Rachel underneath her arms. "They shine like your eyes," Quinn whispered when she leaned down to press a kiss to Rachel's shoulder.

"Are you attempting to woo me, Captain?" Rachel said with a smile.

Quinn shrugged. "Honestly? I just want to be with you. Why you would want the same, I have no idea."

"Because I love you, Quinn."

"Why, though, Rachel? I don't understand it and you won't give me a good answer. I've said and done some pretty horrible things to you."

"Listen, I know it's unconventional and me coming back to you could be seen as slightly mad but I know you. I know Quinn Fabray and I know that she's much more than the captain of a ship. She's a lover, a romantic. She knows Romeo and Juliet by heart and she needs to be loved. And I love her. And throwing the rum overboard will remedy any future problems, I believe."

Quinn gently brushed her lips against Rachel's. "I love you, too," the blonde whispered with a small smile.

"Bed?"

Quinn nodded and allowed Rachel to take her hand and lead her down to the main deck and into her cabin. Once inside, Rachel shut the door and locked it then went to the table in the middle of the room and turned the lantern down low before stepping back to Quinn and grabbing onto her hat and tossing it aside. The brunette's hands wandered lower and found the belt buckle holding up Quinn's sword. She looked up into the captain's eyes as she slowly unbuckled the two belts wrapped around Quinn's waist.

Rachel slid her hands up under Quinn's shirt and pulled it over her head. She pressed feather-light kisses all over the blonde's chest and ran her hands up Quinn's sides. Quinn gently gripped onto Rachel's shoulder and turned her around. She began slowly undoing the tie on the back of Rachel's dress and once it was loose enough she slipped it off the brunette's shoulders. The top of the dress bunched up around the tan woman's waist and Rachel shivered when the cold air hit her bare torso. Quinn leaned down and pressed kisses across Rachel's shoulders and let her hands roam around to the brunette's bare stomach and up over her breasts. She pulled the brunette into her and held her there, savoring the warm skin of Rachel's back pressed up against her front.

Rachel pulled out of Quinn's embrace to step toward the bed, Quinn followed close behind and Rachel hesitated a moment before she discarded her shoes and pushed the dress off her hips and let it pool on the floor. Quinn mirrored her movements by slipping her boots off and finally her pants. Rachel crawled into bed, Quinn followed and settled herself on top of the brunette. She pushed Rachel's legs apart and settled her hips between them, Rachel gasped. Quinn wrapped her arms around Rachel's back and the brunette arched into the blonde's body.

"Are you sure about this?" Quinn asked. She nuzzled her nose into Rachel's neck and nipped at the skin.

"It's already happened once, Quinn."

Quinn pulled away and looked down at Rachel. Through the faint light she saw her smirk and Quinn growled before pressing her lips hard against Rachel's and pushing her tongue into her lover's mouth. She was met eagerly with Rachel's tongue dancing with her own and Rachel's hands on her back and Quinn rolled her hips a few times eliciting moans from Rachel's mouth into hers. Quinn pulled her arm out from under Rachel's body and rested it on her hip then broke the kiss to trail her tongue down Rachel's neck.

"You're so beautiful," Quinn mumbled against Rachel's collarbone.

She kissed down further and stopped to take one of Rachel's nipples into her mouth and graze her teeth over it. Rachel hissed at the pleasurable pain and ran her fingers through Quinn's hair as the blonde repeated the process with the other nipple. Quinn kissed her way back up at the same time as she slid her hand between Rachel's legs and started running her fingers through Rachel's folds.

She didn't let her fingers go right for their immediate goal but instead explored the territory, sliding them up and down. She ran over Rachel's clit a few times and each time the brunette would gasp and groan. Quinn focused on it for a few seconds, rolling it between her fingers and rubbing circles around and over it, before Rachel begged her to go further. Quinn nodded and kissed at Rachel's neck again and moved her fingers lower. She pressed two of them at the woman's entrance and Rachel squirmed. Quinn simultaneously sank her teeth into Rachel's neck and pushed in slowly and Rachel let out a relieved hiss and stilled her hips. Quinn curled her fingers just right to run over that spot deep inside her and Rachel stopped breathing and arched again.

Quinn pulled out and pushed in slow again eliciting another moan from Rachel's lips. She set a slow and steady pace, Rachel lifted her hips off the bed and Quinn moved a little faster. Her lips found Rachel's again. Rachel's fingernails dug into Quinn's back and the blonde moved even faster.

Rachel broke out of the kiss and threw her head back when Quinn again dragged her fingertips against her walls.

"I love you, I love you, I love you!" Rachel called out. "Oh God, Quinn!"

Quinn dropped her head back to Rachel's neck and kissed and bit more at the tan flesh. She thrust harder and Rachel's moans became incoherent as she got closer to the edge. Quinn stretched her thumb up and ran it over the bud again and Rachel shrieked. Her back arched off the bed and her heels dug into the mattress as she came undone around Quinn's fingers. Quinn kept thrusting through Rachel's walls contracting and the brunette finally let out a loud cry and collapsed against the bed, completely spent. Quinn moved next to her lover and kept her eyes on Rachel as she ran her fingertips over her heaving chest.

Rachel finally regained her composure enough to roll over facing Quinn and she smiled and tucked the blonde's hair back.

"Hi," Rachel said with a smile that Quinn could see even through the darkness.

"Hey." Quinn settled her hand on Rachel's hip and scooted closer to her. She drew circles with her thumb on Rachel's soft skin.

"That was amazing."

Quinn blushed and was glad for the darkness to hide her cheeks. "I love you."

Rachel closed the gap between the pair and pushed Quinn onto her back and climbed on top of her. Quinn moaned when Rachel's teeth grazed her neck and Rachel's hands explored her body, running up her sides and her arms and finally settling one hand on her ribcage and the other over her breast. Rachel cupped and kneaded the soft flesh and ran her thumb over Quinn's nipple. The brunette rolled the now hard bud between her fingers and Quinn arched into her touch. Rachel shifted her weight and did the same with her other hand before trailing her hand lower over Quinn's stomach. Rachel pulled her lips away from the blonde's neck and kissed her chin and locked eyes with the captain. She clutched her lower lip between her teeth nervously, Quinn wrapped her arms around the smaller girl and spread her legs.

Fingers trailed through her wetness and Quinn kept her eyes locked with Rachel's, dark brown and looking at her very intensely. Quinn squirmed and moaned a little when Rachel's fingers trailed up and ran over her sensitive clit. Rachel rolled it between her fingers and Quinn lost focus for a moment and her breath caught in her throat. Rachel slipped her hand lower and without warning she pushed three of her small fingers inside of the captain. Quinn cried out and Rachel thrust again and again, setting quick and fast pace. Quinn tightened her grip around Rachel and dug her fingernails into the brunette's hips.

"Rachel…God, oh God! I love you please don't stop!"

Rachel cut off any further noise from Quinn and pressed her lips to Quinn's. She shoved her tongue into Quinn's mouth and there was too much and just enough all at once and Rachel moaned when Quinn moaned and the blonde bucked to meet each and every thrust. Quinn felt Rachel shift again and her other hand made its way between her legs and when Rachel pressed two fingers against her clit the blonde yelled and froze and she swore she saw stars as she toppled over the edge, Rachel continuing the thrusts until Quinn started shaking and let go of Rachel's hips because every muscle in her body was burning. Rachel moved over to settle herself halfway on top of Quinn and nuzzled her nose into the blonde's neck.

"You're sure," Quinn gasped, "you're sure this was only the second time you've done that?"

Rachel giggled. "I had a little bit of advice."

Quinn made a mental note to thank Santana profusely.

"I liked that," Rachel whispered against Quinn's neck.

"Again?" Quinn turned her head and grinned. Rachel nodded enthusiastically and lunged in for a kiss.
