Esmeralda felt such utter exhilaration. The intensity that was pulsating through her body was unlike anything she'd ever experienced, even from him. She moaned loudly as she reached the peak of pleasure.
She fell back against the mattress and he collapsed on top of her.
"I knew you'd warm up to me, eventually, luv," Jack said as he dotted kisses along her collarbone.
The hairs of his mustache were tickling her warm skin, giving her goosebumps.
She opened her eyes.
How did she get here again?
She pushed against his chest and he fell awkwardly off the bed on a pile of pillows. She covered herself with a thin top sheet.
"Was that really necessary?"
"Yes. It was. This shouldn't have happened."
His head peaked out from beneath a blanket.
"It's been happening all week, dear Esmeralda, or am I that forgettable?"
Jack leaned forward to kiss her slim toned bare leg as she made moves to leave his bed. She sighed as his lips moved up her leg to her thigh to her…then she scrambled away from him.
"You've done this every time. Maybe we should just give in, love. We still have a few hours before dawn. Let's have a go of it again, shall we, luv?"
Esmeralda was busy searching the room from her clothing items, trying to ignore his pleas.
"Looking for this?"
He held her bra, dangling it in front of her.
She went to grab it.
"Ah. Ah. Ah. How's about a kiss?"
"How's about my knee between your legs."
"Must you always be so violent, darling? We are only having a bit of fun."
"Fun? You call this fun? You call betraying my sister, fun?"
Jack paused and looked around as if he was searching for an answer. Esmeralda saw his expression change as if a light bulb went off in his head. She rolled her eyes.
"No. This is."
He threw her bra behind him and kissed her passionately, wrapping his arms around her thinly concealed body and pulled her closer to him. She was too weak to resist and she fell into his arms again. Her body went limp.
"Give ole Jack something to think about before he sails off on his next adventure."
Esmeralda wasn't listening. She was too busy falling under the Sparrow Spell.
As the light of dawn crept over a quiet Saturday morning in Fantasia, Jack fell blissfully asleep after once again making passionate love to Esmeralda. But Esmeralda couldn't sleep. She lay next to Jack watching him sleep, wondering how she could've been so easily manipulated against her loyalty to her sister.
She and Angelica had been together all week practicing for their performance at Charles Charming's campaign launch party. Angelica was unaware of her older sister's betrayal. Guilt and anxiety racked Esmeralda's brain as she lie naked next to the only man her sister has ever loved. Yes, Angelica had been happy exploring her new relationship with Aladdin, but Esmeralda knew that deep down, her sister sill longed to be with Jack.
She heard the birds chirping and since sleep wasn't coming she decided she'd better leave before anyone in town saw her leaving Jack's temporary apartment. In the dim light of early morning, she found her clothing items, quickly dressed and tip toed out of Jack's bedroom as he slept so soundly. She took one last look at the man who had skillfully manipulated her lust before slipping out.
As she hurriedly left Jack's building she ran into someone she was not expecting to see.
"Es?"
She turned around to see Flynn leaving the building next door.
"Flynn!"
She was scrambling for a story but she felt a little safe because Flynn knew her secret.
"Don't tell me…"
Esmeralda bit her lip and looked down at the ground.
"Es! I thought you were going to block his number!"
Esmeralda was about to answer but their conversation was interrupted.
"Who's number? What are you guys doing out so early?"
Meg was exiting Sinbad's building where Flynn had just come from.
Flynn blushed. Esmeralda covered her face with her hand.
"What's going on?" Meg asked confused.
Before she could receive an answer – a dark skinned woman ran out from Sinbad's building. It was his neighbor, Sadira Iago, Aladdin's ex-girlfriend and Jasmine's distant cousin.
"Flynn! You forgot your wallet!"
Both Esmeralda and Meg gave him a stern look.
Flynn shrugged.
"So I guess I'm buying breakfast?" he nervously said, chuckling.
"So after a few drinks, I walked her home and you know me…"
"You slept with your best friend's ex who just happens to be your ex's cousin?" Meg asked as she poured syrup over her pancakes.
After Flynn retrieved his wallet and bid another farewell to Sadira, he suggested going to Tiana's Place for an early morning bite to explain himself to his friends.
"Flynn, there are rules. There are codes to abide by," Esmeralda interjected before thinking about her own situation.
"You're one to talk, Es," Flynn responded.
Esmeralda just took a giant bite of pancakes to avoid responding to him.
"What is he talking about? Are you seeing Will now?" Meg asked.
"Esmeralda likes them a bit older nowadays."
Meg dropped her fork and it made a loud clang.
"Please tell me he's just being an ass like always. You told me it was a one time thing and that you were going to move on. I thought you were with Dimitri?"
Esmeralda bit her lip and shook her head.
"No. He's not. I wasn't with Will last night."
Meg's jaw dropped. She had never known loyal, sweet and caring Esmeralda to act this way.
"What? When did this happen?"
Esmeralda sighed and began to cry.
"Well as you both know, it started before he left the last time. And it's been going on all week."
Both Meg's and Flynn's eyes grew wide.
"I thought you just hooked up after Club Agrabah that night!" Flynn said.
Esmeralda shook her head.
"I wish that was the only time. After he saw me and you at Pridelands that night, he texted me again and like a fool I replied."
"That's it. No more vodka for you," Flynn said trying to make light of the situation.
"Es, why would you do that when you know Angelica still loves him. Does she know?"
"No she doesn't know! You think I want my sister to hate me? Meg, it's not so easy to say no to Jack Sparrow. He has this way about him. This…"
She was searching for the right words.
"This draw. This magnetic pull."
Meg found the words.
"Yes! Wait, I thought you didn't get it?"
Meg took a rather large sip of juice before revealing her own secret rendezvous with Sparrow.
"Last week at Club Agrabah. He found me crying after I saw Hercules with Aurora. He attempted to cheer me up and well – he kissed me and I mean kissed me in every sense of the word. But then Sinbad interrupted us and the rest is history."
"So then you get it. He has this draw."
"How come girls don't react to me that way?" Flynn pouted, suddenly being selfish.
"Flynn, this is not about you!" Meg replied.
"This is about our friend Esmeralda and her attachment to the most loathsome man on the planet."
"Still I wish I had women flocking to me like Sparrow does."
Meg rolled her eyes and ignored him.
"So, Es. What are you going to do? You can't keep doing this."
"I know. It's gotten way out of hand. Every time I try to leave he pulls me back in. Just like last night. I tried to leave and he touches me and I'm putty in his hands. And don't even get me started on what he does to me. I mean – "
"Oh great, it's not enough that Sparrow gets more girls than I do but now I have to hear about his sex skills? Really?"
Esmeralda stopped herself from continuing her thought.
"After last night, I'm done. He's leaving on his next job tonight and maybe then I will be able to move on. Dimitri is good at helping with that."
"Hey, if I can move on, so can you," Meg said, encouragingly.
"What about me?" Flynn said, pouting again.
"You're just hopeless, Flynny boy." Meg responded.
They all laughed and deep down, Esmeralda hoped her plan would work. And she could stop betraying her sister and let her trysts with Sparrow be in the past.
