Chapter 12

Alicia, Jack and Gibbs entered the cabin and walked over to the bed. Jack sat on the bed with a huff and winced as the move hurt his body. Alicia looked at him with worry as Gibbs took of his coat and walked out of the cabin to bring water for the scratches and open nose. When he felt blood on his lip he placed his hand over his nose and squeezed, making Alicia shake her head at him.

"God, Jack…here…" she said as she pried his hand away from his nose and made him lean back against the bed. The blood kept running from his nose but not with the same force. Jack looked at her sideways as she took his coat from the bed and placed it on a chair. Gibbs came back with the water and some rags.

"Thank you, Mister Gibbs. I'll take care of him…" she said and Jack's eyes lit up when he heard this. Gibbs nodded before exiting the cabin, shaking his head at his captain.

"Always in trouble…" he muttered as he closed the door behind him.

Alicia walked over to him and wetted a piece of cloth before bringing it to his nose.

"Okay, Jack…tell me what was that all about…" she said as she wiped the blood from his red nose and then his upper lip.

"What do you mean?" he asked her with a shrug and she looked at him sternly.

"Come on, Jack! You got bitten up and I was threatened by a man I hardly know. What did you do?" she asked him as she placed the wet cloth on his nose and kept it there for a while.

"Why must I have done something?" he asked defensively and she chuckled.

"I think you might have…have you?" she asked as she inspected his face. His cheeks were red, his bottom lip had a cut and his left eye was swollen.

"No…" he muttered as he watched her.

"Then tell me why this happened?" she said softly as she took the cloth away and took a clean one to wipe his face from dirt and blood.

"That man…had a girl…" he started and she understood from that single sentence.

"Aha… and you had an affair with her…" she said and he gave a stiff nod.

"And?" she pressed.

"And…I slept with her…he found out…he tried to kill me a couple of times but he didn't succeed. The girl…had a thing for me…she followed me when I left from Spain and …" he trailed of uncomfortably.

"Wait… wait. The girl was in love with you and followed you on the ship?" she asked and he nodded his head.

"Yes…I didn't want her to come…not that I didn't care for her but…" he trailed of once more and Alicia moved back to look at him.

"But you didn't love her." She stated and Jack looked at her surprised.

"No…I guess I didn't…" he replied as he looked at his lap. The moment he bowed his head blood started running again from his nose and he cursed.

"But she did love you…so what happened?" she asked as she lifted his head and wiped again at the blood.

"So…I took her with me because I only found out that she was on board when we were far away from Spain. She stayed with me…" he said as he sighed, not very happy about saying all that.

"So, what happened? Why did Morgan say that you killed her?" she asked him confused and he bit his lip which caused him to yelp in pain as his teeth touched the cut he had.

"Careful, you baby…" she said with a smile as she finished cleaning his face. He looked at her with a grin and winked at her with his good eye.

"Baby, huh? Thought I was…" he said and she laughed.

"Finish the story, Jack…" she said as she unbuttoned his vest and helped him take it of.

"A week after she was on the ship…we were attacked by a ship and she died…" he said in a quiet voice.

"How?" Alicia asked him stunned.

"She…Why don't you bring me some rum, luv?" he asked her, changing the subject and she rolled her eyes.

"Jack!" she said and he pouted.

"Okay…okay ...she died saving me…she got shot. The bullet was for me and she…jumped in front of me. She died, lying on me feet. She fell like a bird in front of me eyes." He said in a hoarse voice. Alicia was staring at him with stunned, sad eyes.

"Oh…Jack…I'm so sorry…" she said softly but he shrugged.

"It's okay…I just…I don't think I deserved what she did…I didn't love her…" he said guiltily.

"But you did like her, right?" she asked him and he shrugged again.

"Not enough to make her think she had to do something like that for me…" he said and cursed when he felt his nose burn and more blood came out. She sat on the bed and pushed his head back gently.

"Keep it there. No sharp moves." She instructed and he looked at her with fondness.

"You'll be a good mommy, me luv…" he said and she flushed.

"Yeah, in my dreams…" she said as she wetted another cloth and opened his dirty shirt to clean his neck. He looked at her curiously as she said this but remained silent.

"So, now that man blames you for her death?" she asked as she instructed him to take of his shirt.

"Yes…bloody bastard…I did the girl a favor taking her with me…the mutt hurt her all the time and claimed that he loved her…" he muttered and Alicia was touched by his words as she took his shirt and rose from the bed.

"Where do you keep rum?" she asked a she looked around the cabin.

"Rum? In that cabinet, darling." He said happily and she walked over to it. She took a bottle and came back to the bed.

"Oh, God bless you, sweetheart." He said as he made to take the bottle from her but she pulled it back from his grasp.

"No. It's not for you. It's for the cuts you have. Lie back and keep you head back." She scolded him and he pouted. She poured some of it on a cloth and cleaned his nose, lip and the corner of his eye where she found a small scratch.

"Ouch!" he exclaimed suddenly and she held his face still as she finished.

"Sorry…" she said and he smiled as he looked at her face that was so close to him. He reached over and tucked a lock of her long hair behind her ear and she stopped to look at him.

"Jack?" she asked as he stared into her eyes.

"Yes, luv?" he replied.

"You need to change your pants." She said and he looked at her incredulously.

"What?" he asked her and she giggled.

"They are dirty. You can't sleep with those on." She said as she moved back and he immediately felt cold without her warmth.

"Will you help me take them of?" he asked her in a breathless voice and she smacked his arm.

"Oi! Me bones hurt!Pleeease?" he whined and she opened her mouth to snap at him but she closed it again.

"Okay…no funny business." She said at him as her hands moved to the fastenings of his breeches and he smirked at her.

"Wouldn't dream of it…" he said as he watched her help him. She closed her eyes as she passed the breeches from his legs and pulled the covers around him before opening them again.

"There." She said as she walked away to place the breeches on the chair on top of the rest of his clothes.

"You had your eyes closed." He whined teasingly and she felt her face burning up.

"That was my intention…Wait. I'll brig you some fruits." She said as she left the cabin.

He stretched on the bed and winced when he felt a sharp pain at his ribs and stomach.

"Bloody bastards…almost hurt me girl…and me!" he muttered as he waited for her to return.

When she came back in the cabin she held some fruits in her hands and a cup of milk.

"Here you go…and some milk." She said and he stuck his tongue out.

"No! I don't wanna!" he whined and she rolled her eyes.

"Oh, come on. It will do you good." She said as she placed the milk on the nightstand and peeled an orange while he watched.

"Where did you find milk?" he asked her.

"I asked Mister Gibbs to buy me some…" she said as she held a piece of the orange in front of his mouth.

"Always that Gibbs…" he muttered to himself as he opened his mouth and ate the fruit.

"Are you jealous of Gibbs?" she asked him with a chuckle.

"No…" he said as he chewed.

"No need to be…you are my favorite." She said and he grinned.

"Really? It's me eyes isn't it?" he asked her and she laughed.

"Your eyes?" she said smiling and he nodded.

"They are dashing! It's the k…." he exclaimed and she cut his mumbling with another piece of orange. He pouted again as he ate and she shook her head at his antics.

"Now, drink it." She said as she gave him the milk and he looked at it with disgust.

"It smells! Did you warm it? I don't like it! I prefer me rum…rum is good!" he said as he tried to give it back but she glared.

"Drink it down and stop being so childish for Christ's sake!" she said as she cleaned her fingers from the orange with her lips and his throat went dry when he saw her do that. That did it. He drunk the milk quickly and her eyes widened at his speed.

"Wow…you are fast…" she said as she took the cup from him and wiped some milk from his moustache with her fingers.

"Not in all things…there are things where I prefer to take it slow…" he said as he stared at her and she sighed.

"Jack…" she groaned as she fixed the covers around his waist.

"You're blushing." he stated calmly and her eyes widened.

"I…it's hot in here!" she stuttered and he smirked.

"Then why am I cold?" he asked her as he moved his hand to stroke her arm slowly.

"Because you are weird!' she yelped and he smirked as his other hand stroked the bed next to him before patting it.

"Won't you join your poor, hurt, damaged captain under the warm covers?" he asked her and she stood up from the bed.

"In a minute. I have to go change." She said as she left him alone for a while.

He grinned as he watched her and laid his head on his pillow.

"Is the nose okay?" she asked after a while from the side cabin and he smirked at her concern.

"If you mean if the blood stopped, then yes, it's okay. But it still hurts. Won't you kiss it to make it better?" he asked as she reappeared, wearing a cute pink night dress.

"I suppose I should. After all this is my fault." She said as she slid next to him, forgetting that he was naked under the covers.

"No it's not….Kiss!" he whined the last word and she slid closer to him, pecking his red nose. He grinned goofily at her and she smiled. The smile turned to a frown and then into a grimace as she felt his bare skin next to her body.

"You are naked!" she shrieked and he stopped her from moving away with a hand on her hip.

"Yep…you told me to take of me breeches." He said as he leaned over her and she flushed.

"Yes, but I …you…what are you doing?" she yelped when she felt him moving closer to her.

He placed a finger on her lips and she stopped talking. He moved his gaze from her face to her neck, chest and down to her hips before looking at her eyes again. Alicia swallowed hard.

"You're pretty…" he whispered and she wondered if he was feeling okay or if they had caused some damage to his head because she was definitely not pretty.

"No, I'm not…I'm rather plain…" she said as she tried to escape his grip.

"Plain? I don't think so, me luv…" he said with a smile as he stroked her hair. She stood there under him awkwardly until she spoke again.

"Won't you tell me about…Elizabeth? What did she do?" she asked and he looked at her searchingly.

"You want to know about Lizzie? I have a better idea." He whispered to her. She felt a pang of jealousy at the pet name he gave to the woman but she shrugged it of.

"A better idea?" she asked as she felt his leg moving between her legs and she gasped as she felt warmth radiating from his body.

"Aye…I think you owe me a little something…" he said as she looked up at him with wide eyes. He could see nervousness, fear and…desire? He didn't know what he saw in her eyes at that moment but it made him want her even more than before.

"What do I owe you, captain?" she asked him as his leg rubbed hers through her night dress.

"I was bitten up for you, missy…I think the least you can do, is give me a kiss…" he whispered into her ear.

"But…I just kissed you…" she mumbled and he chuckled.

"That was not a kiss…I want a real one…A far better idea than talking, don't you think? And a more pleasurable one too…I can guarantee it…" he said as he captured her lips in a soft kiss without waiting for her permission. She gasped but instead of pushing him away, she hesitantly put her hands around his bare back. He groaned into the kiss and pressed his body harder against hers, his hand lacing itself in her long brown hair. She felt him rub his body against hers and she moved back from the kiss to look at his face. His eyes were closed and his mouth hovering over hers for a while before leaning for another kiss. She stroked his cheek and he broke the kiss to nuzzle into her hand, purring. She giggled and he opened his eyes to smirk at her. His face turned serious again and he attacked her lips again with force that stunned even himself. Her left hand moved to his chest while his hands tried to pull up her night dress. She felt the scars on his chest and broke the kiss.

"Do they hurt?" she asked him breathless and he shook his head not moving his lustful eyes from her. She smiled a small smile before placing a kiss on his hurt bottom lip, making him whimper.

"Cuddle?" he offered after a while and she almost sighed in relief. She nodded her head and he laid his head on her chest, his arms around her waist and his leg between hers.

"Will you tell me about the Kraken sometime?" she asked as she played with his dark hair.

"If you are a good girl…tomorrow…I will…" he said as he kissed her neck.

"Okay…" she whispered as she felt her eyes closing, a smile on her face. She was asleep within minutes and Jack watched her as she slept.

"Plain…you think you are plain…you've no idea, have you, me sweet…?" he whispered as he hugged her tighter to him even if his body objected to the movement. He winced but didn't loosen his hold.

"Plain…maybe she was drunk…I wish I had some rum…" he mumbled as he fell asleep in her arms, her warmth overcoming his body's pain.
