What in the World

Chapter 52

Ragan walked over to where Jack was watching Leah, with James in tow, as they left the galley.

"Jack, did you by chance happen to mention that you exaggerated some of the things you told him about Singapore?"

"Trifles Ragan," Jack said as he waved his hands in a dismissing gesture,

"Besides I don't think our dear Commodore has the where with all to even begin to attempt anything but the most basic of techniques. Our Commodore no doubt, is quite stuffy, tedious, much below average, and mediocre at the least when it comes to the dealins with the fairer sex." Jack finished and seeing Ragan look at him in a slightly disapproving way added a bit defensively, "Sides the opportunity didn't present its self afore the bonny lass drug him off."

"Somehow I don't think that is going to bode well for the Commodore." Ragan said shaking his head.

"We can only hope." Jack said with a sly smile as he weaved his way off to find more rum.

James found himself pulled through the door of his cabin, the door shut as soon as he had cleared the doorway, and his back pressed against said door as Leah plastered herself to him as she hugged and kissed him with abandon.

He thought to protest at first, but her kisses soon changed those thoughts to more accommodating ones. He began responding and soon there was nothing but pure unadulterated passion between them. Hands roaming over willing bodies, clothing discarded and cast to the floor as they made their way to the bunk. James thought to himself in a brief moment of clarity, "Well this seems to be going well." He even tried some of the less bawdy maneuvers Jack had so graphically expounded on, not quite having the confidence in himself to try anything a little more…. vigorous yet. "Yes this is going much better than I had hoped." James smiled to himself, his confidence growing by the moment. Perhaps he would try a few of the other things that Jack had imparted to him. After all she seemed to be enjoying the things he had done so far if he was to judge by the moans and sighs she was uttering and the quivering of her body. He attempted one such procedure and at her reaction, which was not what he was hoping for as she stopped all movement and stared at him, began to wonder if he had performed it wrong.

"James! What in the world was that." She exclaimed.

All the sudden very embarrassed, and with his confidence suddenly deflated to nil and kicking himself mentally for even trying anything that bloody Sparrow had encouraged he stuttered, "Sorry…..I a…..I a….I a…. was told that would be something enjoyable?"

"Who told you that?" and after a short pause said, "Never mind, I know who." Then noticing the abashed look on his face she reached up and touched him tenderly saying, "Perhaps we could try it again with a little less……..exuberance."

"Are you sure? My intentions are to make this a memorable occasion for you. Memorable here having the meaning of pleasurable if at all possible, and within my means."

"Oh James, it has certainly been that, and yes I am sure, we should definitely continue." Leah said with a smile.

His confidence not up to its former level but wishing to please, he reapplied his attention and actions to the pleasuring of his lovely bride.

The party was still going strong even though the couple of honor had made their rather hasty exit over an hour ago. It had spilled out onto the deck as well. Several of the crew who were able to play instruments had begun to provide lively music for the revelers. Hearing the music, shouting, raucous laughter, and other indications of a rollicking time on board, the men who had been clearing the wreck headed back to join in.

Jack sat with Tia and Ragan on deck with a bottle of rum in his hand as he leaned against a barrel drinking said rum. "I think I'll just go for a little stroll about the Pearl."

"Unless you're feeling a decidedly urgent call of nature you will sit yourself here with us and not be bothering the newlyweds Jack." Tia said in a tone that precluded argument.

With a floppy wave of his hands Jack said, "I was just mullin over the idea he might be needin a bit more advice about now."

"I think you have given a bit more advice than was needed already Jack. The Commodore will be lucky if he's not thrown out on his ear. Especially if he was foolish enough to follow even a little of the advice you have given him already." Tia said teasingly, but with a little bit of seriousness thrown in for good measure.

"Don't know why you'd be sayin that luv." Jack said trying hard to give her a you cut me to the quick look.

"You know exactly why I said it Jack, and every word's the truth. And you'll not be leaving my sight so you might as well give up on that idea." Tia said firmly.

"Might as well sit and drink your rum Jack, you've lost the battle." Ragan added with a smile, knowing only too well the tone Tia had used, and knowing she was not about to let Jack out of her sight.

"Anybody ever tell you you're not much fun at all luv?" Jack said with a pout, knowing at least for the moment he had been bested.

"I'm also immune to your roguery Jack." She said with a wink and a smile.

"Bugger." Jack mumbled, contenting himself for the time being at least with his rum and the revelry going on around him.

James and Leah lay wrapped in each other's arms, satiated from the lovemaking. James was still breathing rather heavily, it having been quite a while since he had engaged in anything as strenuous as what he had just been through. Leah lay there with a very satisfied smile on her face, her head resting on his chest listening to the strong rapid heartbeat and feeling the rise and fall of his chest in the after effects of their intimacy.

"Well dear Husband, I think you succeeded." Leah said with a bit of humor in her voice.

"What's that?" James replied, he had been concentrating on trying to calm his breathing to something a bit more normal, and his heartbeat as well for the organ seemed determined to jump right out of his chest.

"Your intentions of making this a memorable occasion, having the meaning here of pleasurable. You succeeded quite nicely I might add."

"Well thank you, I'm always proud to hear my efforts were appreciated." James said with a smile.
