I apologize for taking so long to update, I was really busy and didn't have any spare time. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this chapter.

Jack was sat on the deck with crossed arms and the angriest face Gibbs ever saw. His Angelica was being stolen from him – nothing went to plan. Fenlardos sneaked on the pearl without anyone noticing and didn't show up until Tortuga was out of sight.

Even worse, Fenlardos gave Angelica a present she hugged him for. HUGGED! Jack went mental but stayed silent observing the scene in front of him with narrowed eyes.

"Look at him, he's so cute," Angelica said in a girlish voice stroking the little, white snow leopard cub in Fenlardos' hands. "Thank you Rev," she called him by his nickname.

"You're welcome Angie," he handed Angelica the soft leopard and looked at Jack with a victorious grin. Jack gave him a death glare in return; Angelica was too occupied by the cub to notice the warfare between the pair.

Angelica brought the leopard in the air to get a better look "I'll call him Max," she announced with a smile.

Jack looked at her smugly. "What a great choice, luv. I look forward to cooking him for me dinner when he gets a bit bigger."

It was not really the snow leopard he was against; it was the person who gave it to Angelica.

"You're heartless, Jack." Angelica answered without delay, still looking at Max who was licking her hand.

"You're heartless, Jack." He mimicked her under his breath. "I'm captain of this ship, I decide what to do and I'm telling you that this thing," he pointed at Max, "will be thrown off me ship the first chance I get to do so."

Angelica sensed the seriousness in his tone, "Jack…" She started with her famed seducing face.

"No! I'm not having it," Jack waved his finger in the air, "And don't make that face young Missy, I'm not having it either."

Angelica neared to him slowly and he backed away from her until his back was against the rail. Two choices – face Angelica or fall overboard.

Jack looked at her as if she was about to kill him. "Just look at him," she demanded and brought Max up for him to see. "Do you see it?"

Jack frowned. "See what, love, a deathly creature in your arms?"

"Tsk…" Angelica shook her head and backed away. "If you're getting rid of him, then you'll have to get rid of me too."

"Pressuring Capt. Jack Sparrow, love? Not the best decision to make, how about you think again?"

Angelica hadn't actually thought of doing anything like that, but now that he spoke of it…

Jack took an abrupt step towards her, "If you-

Max was already protective around Angelica and gave a warningly sweet roar that sounded more like a meow.

"How does that creature even dare do that at me?! This is unacceptable."

Angelica laughed out loud and gave the blue eyed leopard a pleased grin. "You're an Angel, aren't you?"

"Just like you," Rev cut in to Jacks greatest annoyance. "He must be hungry by the way, better if you get him some milk. I'll see you later." With that he left.

Angelica watched him go and turned her attention back to max. "And where did he find you…" She began.

Jack went behind her and smacked her lower back, making her wince. "I hope you're not dragging that to bed with you, because I will not be happy."

"John is gone so I can have his cabin. Besides, Max will be far more pleasant to share a bed with than you." She stroked the fluffy animal in her arms.

Jack circled Angelica so they were face to face, "Fenlardos demanded a cabin, there's only two. So…"

"You will have to sleep with the crew? That's going to be interesting; I will have your cabin all to myself then!" Angelica saw the incoming protest from Jack, "I don't want to have anything to do with a man who threatens such harmless perfection as Max. Or do you want me to share with Rev?"

Angelica could see the jealousy growing in his eyes, and Jack knew she was playing with him, but she could go too far sometimes.

"Don't make a mess in my quarters, love." He faked a smile at her and she faked one back.

"I'll try," she said and turned in search of milk.

Roughly mid-night

Jack was lying in a hammock; sleep was something he couldn't get. Signing, he drew his legs to the floor and reached for his boots.

His destination was obvious – Angelica. It was her fault he couldn't fall asleep, so why should she?

He opened his cabin door with the spare key and walked in. Angelica was spread out on his bunk with her hands behind her head, she only wore a shirt and the covers were on the floor. That peaceful face made him rethink of waking her up, so he tiptoed towards the bed quietly.

Max was curled up in a ball on the pillow next to her head. Jack bent down to get the covers off the floor and sat at the side of the bed. Studying her beauty, he moved some hair out of her face. She truly looked perfect; her legs were stretched out seductively and her lips were slightly a gap.

He traced her bronze legs with his hands lightly and bent down to plant a kiss on her lips. She moaned in her sleep and stirred to face him; her eyes opened slowly. "…Jack…?"

"Jack!" She shot up, startling Max, and pulled her shirt over her naked shoulder. "What are you –?

Before she finished, her lips were attacked by his as he pushed her into the mattress and covered her body with his. Angelica never experienced so much hunger in a kiss in the past, but before she could comprehend, she wrapped her legs around his waist and her hands around his neck. Jack smiled against her lips in response and pulled away. "Is that a yes then, aye?"

"What?" Angelica asked teasingly, moving her hand under his shirt and exploring the flesh underneath.

"I'll stand no more if –

Angelica flipped them over so she was on top. "Always take control don't you, love? I'm glad that the forbidden season is over."

"You're a bit too daring for someone who wants something, Jack." She whispered, kissing his jaw, moving to his neck and trailing a wet kiss along his chest. Jack groaned placing his hand behind her head and running his other over her back.

Angelica pulled his shirt out from his pants and sat up to pull it over his head, exposing his muscular chest. Jack brought her lips to hers once more and pushed poor Max off the bed on purpose – Angelica heard a dull thud made by the baby leopard.

Angelica jerked away from Jack with a pop, "What was that?"

"My boots love." He lied to her impatiently and turned them over to be on top. He moved his lips to kiss her neck and started to pull Angelicas shirt off slowly while she undid his pants.

The intensity in the air grew bigger and hotter as the two, now lovers again, were fully exposed to one another. Jack cupped her right breast rewarded by a moan from Angelica. Passion coated every single move they made and their hands roamed over each others body.

He entered her in one swift movement with a groan that sank Angelicas cry of pleasure. Angelica gripped his back as he started to move inside her and soon they had a steady rhythm. She called out his name between his grunts which encouraged him to pick up his pace. "…Jack…"

His hands traced her thighs that tensed under his touch, whilst their lips joined together. Sensing she was nearly done, Jack gave a few final thrusts before collapsing on top of her. "You're so beautiful, love," he said breathlessly, rubbing her arm lovingly.

Jack moved the covers over them and got off Angelica so he doesn't crush her. He hugged her tight to his body, her head resting between his shoulder and neck. Angelica found his hand and entwined her fingers with his. "Where's Max?" She asked suddenly after a few minutes of silence.

"Do you really have to bother about him right now, love?"

Angelica closed her eyes and relaxed into his body. "No."

Her breath evened telling Jack she was asleep, so he rested his chin against her head and closed his eyes. A dip in the bed made him open his eyes, it as Max.

Jack pushed him off the bed and closed his eyes again. Soon, he felt a soft ball curling itself on the other side of his neck to where Angelica was. Signing, he didn't push him off this time.
