~*~To Love a Pirate chapter 6~*~

"No! No you can't do this!!" Chloe yelled as she tried to break free from the men that were holding her.

"That's where your wrong my darling, We can!" He father exclaimed. A smile strung across his face as he watched two men drag Jack up the steps to the noose.

It had been 3 days since they were caught. Chloe had hid in the cabin for as long as she could. While they beat and tortured Jack trying to make him tell where she was. After watching them hit him for well over an hour she finally threw open the door. She didn't care what happened to her anymore she just wanted them to stop. They didn't of course they continued to beat him until he was almost dead. Chloe wasn't shocked to hear that her father was the one ordering the beatings. She watched helplessly as they put the rope around his neck. He winked and smiled to her as they began reading his charges. Her father standing proud, for it had been he, James Young to capture the famous Captain Jack Sparrow. They finished reading the charges and the hangman was preparing to pull the lever that would send Jack to his aweful and untimely death. Chloe cried out and tried to break free one last time...but it was to late. He had already fallen, the rope cutting at his throat. She gasped and fell to the ground. It was to late.... he was gone.

She uncontrolably started to shake as the tears reached her eyes. She stayed there for what seemed to her as forever crying. She lay on the ground unaware that everyone was gone except her. She felt a hand on her shoulder and winced. She threw the hand off and layed her head back on the soft ground. She felt the person lean over her as they replaced their hand on her shoulder.

"Come now luv" the hoarse voice whispered softly in her ear

Her eyes widen as she lifted her head.

"Jack!" she screamed

She reached out grabbing him and hugging him trying to convince herself that she wasn't dreaming that he was real.

"luv your suffocatin' me" he said

She loosened her grip though she still held his hand

"how?" she whimpered

"I have some--uhh friends" he said grinning as he winked and threw his head indicating to the hangman who was standing not far away.

She looked at him very puzzled "Hun?" she asked

He just nodded and she turned her attention back to the hangman who took of his mask to reveal his wonderful face. Chloe smiled.

"Will!" she said

Jack laughed and grabbed her hands picking her up off the ground. She hugged him again.

"I can't believe your still here" she whispered

"Did ye really think I'd leave ye?" he as brushed her hair away from her face.

"Well you had me worried there for a minute" she said smiling

He slowly ran his hand through her silky hair. As he reached the back of her neck he gently pulled her toward him. She held her breath as he lifted her head. Their lips met almost immediately. Each of them drawing each other closer. He slowly lowered his hand from her neck sliding it smoothly down her soft back. He stopped when he reached her waist pulling her even closer.

*********

Before long everything was back to normal. Or at least as normal as it can be when your Captain Jack Sparrow. Jack had been in hiding ever since the hanging. Chloe's father had disowned her for "assocating" with pirates. She had in return called him a pompus pig and left. They had since then returned to sea.

"Jack Sparrow where have you gotten off to?" Chloe called up the stairs

"Captain!! Captain Jack Sparrow!!" he called back to her with a grin.

"Well Captain Sparrow how long until we make berth?" she asked taking his hand

"A few hours" he said smiling "whatever shall we do to pass the time?" he asked with devilish grin

"Captain Sparrow what are you suggesting"

"This" he said taking her face in his hands and kissing her.

Rough yet gentle. She smiled between kisses as he wrapped his arms around her. The kiss ended as Chloe looked out into the ocean.

"You know Jack I think this is where I am at my best"

"Is that so?"

"yes, I am at my best here, on the sea, with you"

"well then we must never leave" he said smiling

Chloe smiled before kissing him once more.
