Chapter 10

The hot Caribbean sun was high up in the sky as the Black Pearl was sailing towards the Cove. Jack closed his compass and tapped his fingers on the wheel as he looked around the ship. Cotton was standing next to him as he always did and Jack offered the older man a small smile as he looked at him.

"Very hot, isn't it?" he said to him and the older man simply stared at him. His parrot was lost for sometime now and it was rather strange to Jack to see him without the multicolored bird on his shoulder. He looked around the ship again when he heard commotion on the main deck. He frowned and left the wheel, motioning for Cotton to take it.

Jack walked down the stairs and the voices got closer.

"Thank you, lass. Me back is killing me…" Gibbs said to a kneeling Alicia. The young woman smiled to him as she continued washing the deck and Jack's eyes widened. The way she was leaning over had made several of the crew members stop their work and stare at her pretty behind with wide eyes. Jack's eyes narrowed into slits and looked at Gibbs who was standing near by.

"What are you doing, luv?" Jack asked loudly and Alicia looked up at him confused.

"Um…scrubbing the deck, Jack…" she said slowly.

"Get up, darling. And you! Back to your stations!" he yelled the last line to the crew. Alicia looked up at him and frowned.

"But, Mister Gibbs asked me to…" she started but Jack cut her of.

"Gibbs! Come here!" he said to his first mate. Gibbs came closer to him, holding his lower back with a grimace.

"What is the meaning of this? What is she doing down there?" Jack said as he pointed to Alicia who was still kneeling, mop in hand.

"She's cleaning the deck, Captain." Gibbs said.

"Why is she scrubbing the deck? And with a bloody dress on? Her knees will get all scratched! Come here, luv…" he said as he offered her his hand and she stood up, grimacing as she did so.

"But…Jack, it's okay. I have to work here…" she said softly and he shook his head.

"Your work does not include this. Your job is in the galley." He said firmly as he kneeled in front of her to inspect her knees. He placed his hands under her dress and she gasped.

"Jack!" she squeaked and he smirked.

"Nothing I haven't seen before, luv." He said up at her before glaring at Gibbs who was watching.

"Bring someone else to do this, Gibbs." Jack muttered as he gently touched the small scratches she had on her legs. Alicia was turning pink by the minute but Jack didn't seem to mind; he adored her blushing.

"Aye, Captain. Sorry, lass. I didn't think that would happen." Gibbs said apologetically and Alicia smiled.

"It's okay…" she said softly and Gibbs nodded before walking away.

"You didn't have to snap at him, Jack." She said down to him and he looked up at her as he stood up, releasing her dress in the process.

"He'll be okay.' He said as he took her hand and led her to the cabin. He sat her down on a chair and took a cloth, soaking it with rum. He kneeled in front of her again and pulled the dress up her legs. She swallowed and looked around the room, trying hard not to turn red as a tomato again. When the cloth touched her knees she jumped and yelped.

"Sorry, darling…" he whispered as he continued patting the skin with the damp cloth.

"What do we have for lunch?" he asked her and she looked at him.

"Um…fish…the crew caught them for me." She said as she winced again.

"That's good." He said as he finished with her right knee. He leaned down and kissed her knee softly before doing the same with her other one.

"What are you doing, Jack?" she asked chuckling and he grinned at her.

"Kissing it to make it better." He said huskily and she blushed again.

"Thank you…um…I better go below again. Check on the fish." She said quickly as she stood up and hastily left the cabin. He smirked at her embarrassment and stood up as well.

"I love that blush…" he muttered as he left the cabin after her, bottle of rum in hand. He took a sip from the bottle and walked back to his position at the helm. He took the wheel from Cotton with one hand and waved him of.

"Take a break, Cotton. Too bloody hot today…how can nights be cold and mornings hot?" he muttered as the older man walked away with a nod. He raised the bottle to his lips again but almost choked on it when he heard a loud yell that was his name.

"Huh? What?! What? Are we being attacked?" he called down frantically at Alicia who had just yelled for him.

"You're drinking again? Put that bottle down. I won't baby sit you again, Jackie!" she said pointing a finger at him.

"Jackie?" he asked her, pouting.

"Yes, now put that away." She said firmly and he brought the rum close to his chest.

"But I like it. It's me rum. I can't just throw it away." He whined and she rolled her eyes.

"It's still morning and your stomach is empty! Do you want to get sick?" she asked him and he looked at her and then at the bottle.

"But…what do I get?" he asked her mischievously and she looked up at him.

"Get?" she asked clueless.

"Yep! What do I get if I throw away me beloved rum?" he asked her with a suggestive smirk that somehow she found attractive.

"What do you want, Jack?" she asked, not knowing what she was getting into.

"I'll think about it and I'll inform you later." He said as he set the bottle away with a pout.

"Okay…" she said as she slowly walked away and inside the cabin again while he was smiling like a kid that he had just bought a brand new toy.

"Now…what can I ask…and don't get slapped of course…" he muttered as he turned his neck to the right and groaned at the slight pain. Then his eyes widened.

"I know!" he exclaimed happily with a satisfied smirk.

------------------------------------------

Alicia cleaned the last dishes and dried her hands with a cloth before yawning. She was tired and desperately wanted to sleep. She poured herself a mug of water and sighed. She left the galley and walked towards the now empty deck. She entered the cabin and found Jack on his desk, looking at his compass with a furious expression.

"I know what I want! Why…you keep pointing there? I know what I want! But I do…" he was mumbling and she giggled. He shut the compass and looked at her surprised.

"You are a sneaky one, luv." He said to her smirking and she smiled.

"Sorry if I scared you." She said and he grinned.

"I'm not scared easily, darling. Now…about our deal." He said as he got up from the chair and walked closer to her.

"Deal?" she asked and only when she saw his smirk she remembered what she had agreed that morning.

"Aye…" he said as he came to stand in front of her only in his shirt and breeches.

"Okay…" she said and his grin widened.

"I want…" he whispered as he came closer to her face. She looked at him with wide eyes as he spoke close to her lips.

"…a back massage!" he finished and she sighed in relief but she couldn't help to feel disappointed.

"Sure." She said as she walked to the bed and motioned for him to lie down.

"What!?" he said in a high pitched voice, not expecting her to agree so easily.

"I said sure. I'll do it." She said and he smiled.

"Thanks, darling." He said as he sat on the bed and lied down to it.

"What about your shirt? I can't do it with the shirt on." She said and he smirked.

"I knew you would come over to my side. I'm irresistible after all." He said to her teasingly and she turned pink.

"Jack!" she said as she slapped his bare arm as he was taking of the shirt, making him chuckle. He placed the shirt on the bed and lied on his stomach as she leaned over him. She moved back and decided that it would be better if she was on the bed. She climbed up and he chuckled.

He wiggled around a bit and she poked him on the back with her finger.

"Stop that." She said and he pouted.

"Just getting comfy…" he mumbled and she placed her hands on his shoulders and squeezed. Jack was amazed that she had actual strength and he groaned as his muscles hurt at the feeling.

"Sorry…" she mumbled but he shook his head.

"I'm fine…go on…" he said and she continued rubbing his shoulders. She moved his long hair away and carried on towards his lower back while he gave a soft moan of appreciation.

"You've great hands, me luv…" he mumbled into the pillow and she smiled. She moved her hands in circles and he turned his face to look at her.

"Where did you learn this?" he asked her in a husky voice.

"Um…my father used to need this. So, I learned somehow…" she said softly as she pressed harder and he hissed. The sounds he was making made her flush and she prayed to finish soon because her hands had started to tremble from nervousness. She came to a stop but he spoke again.

"A little more, sweetheart?" he asked her and she complied, earning a content grunt from him.

"A little on me neck too?" he asked again and she smiled.

She moved her hands to the base of his neck and rubbed it and he purred like a kitten, rubbing his nose on the pillow, making her chuckle.

"I guess you like this, Jack?" she asked him and he whimpered in response.

"You're and angel, me luv…" he whispered and she flushed even more. She continued rubbing the base of his neck and she let her eyes wonder down his back. She was amazed by the many tattoos he had but most of all she was amazed at the nice brown color his skin was. She had very white complexion unlike his that was much tanned. She looked up at his head when she heard a low moan and then his voice again.

"Thank you, can stop. You'll hurt your hands if you keep doing this." He said in a content voice and her hands lingered on his skin before moving away. Before she realized what she was doing she leaned down and kissed his right shoulder blade, making him gasp. She moved back and sat next to him on the bed while he looked at her with wide eyes.

"What was that for?" he asked her in a hoarse voice.

"A kiss to make it better." She said before standing up from the bed to change her clothes to the side cabin. He watched her go with a smile on his face. He turned on his back, feeling his muscles much more loose than before and stared at the ceiling.

"She'll be the death of me…and what a nice death that is…" he muttered with a grin as he waited for her to return before going to sleep. He wasn't going to miss cuddling with her once more. She returned to the bed and found the usual position in his arms. She spoke once more before falling asleep.

"When are we going to arrive to the Cove?" she asked and he kissed the top of her head before responding.

"Tomorrow…in the afternoon perhaps…" he whispered as he rubbed her back

"Good…" she mumbled before falling asleep. He joined her after a few minutes too.
