'Alright there Jack?' Gibbs said as he opened the door to Jack's cabin. Jack turned around, his deep brown eyes freshly lined with kohl. He had rebraided his beard and had on a newly cleaned white shirt hanging off his broad tan shoulders. 'I see yah be readyin for Miss Martin's visit.' Gibbs said, grinning foolishly. Jack snorted.
'Just want tah look alright Gibbsey, couldn't care less about the lady.' He said swaggering over to his first mate. 'Me hair look alright?' he said primping in front of Gibbs, offering a fake pout. He was rewarded with a hardy laugh and a smack on the back.
'Yeh scoundrel, get out there already.' He said pushing Jack out onto the deck. Jack struggled with the buttons of the shirt and gave up half way up, exposing a glimpse of his chest. He finally looked up and there stood Gordon, the doctor, Cole (Jack's eyes narrowed at the boy) and a few other pirates. Jack's mouth dropped open as his eyes finally fell upon Anya.
Whether it was because they had not seen each other for days or not, Jack felt his chest tighten at the sight of her. She turned, her green eyes glimmering in the sun, her lips parted slightly. Her hair was in a messy up do, strands of golden curls tumbling down over her now sun kissed face. She wore a pale rose sun dress which was slightly worn, undoubtedly purchased by Gordon in Tortuga.
'Cap'n?' Gordon said waving his grimy hand in front of his face. 'It seems his brain has stalled sir.' He said with a laugh.
'He had a brain to begin with?' Gordon said haughtily. Anya glared at him.
'I have a brain, Commodore.' he defended, momentarily snapping out of his trance. 'I'm just selective of when I use it!' Anya tried to suppress a laugh, her hand shooting up to her mouth. Jack noticed this and winked at her.
'If I could be alone with the captain for a moment Captain.' She said walking toward Jack, his eyes following her, grinning at her. Gordon rolled his eyes.
'If you must.' He said waving for them to go. Cole frowned and stepped forward.
'Perhaps someone should attend them captain.' He said surveying Jack with equal amounts of jealousy and dislike. Gordon shook his head and pushed Cole back into the ranks of his men.
'Now boy. Let the man have his toy.' With that he turned to Gibbs and began questioning him furiously, and Gibbs did not look pleased, being in a half drunken state. Anya smiled, showing all her pearly white teeth. She turned to face Jack and suddenly things were more serious. But she wasn't going to let him know that.
'Captain.' She said holding out her hand. His eyebrows shot up as he looked from her to her hand, as if to say 'you must be joking'. 'Come now, a kiss is in order.' She said still smiling, holding her hand out further. He stood tall and adopted what he must have thought looked like a gentlemanly expression.
'I agree love.' He said taking her hand, and pausing. Then suddenly he pulled her forward, stooping a bit, catching her lips with his own, wrapping his arms around her, so there was no escape. Anya's eyes immediately closed, sighing softly. Jack smiled into the kiss and pulled away, looking down at her. She opened her eyes and took a breath.
'Well. That wasn't exactly what I had meant… but I suppose it was nice.' She said looking up at him. Jack frowned at this.
'Nice?' he repeated, trying to look hurt. 'Love, kittens are nice.' Anya laughed.
'Well, care to try again?' she said breaking from his embrace and walking toward his cabin. He crossed his arms and looked away, sulking.
'I don't know pet… maybe I don't feel like it.'
'You? Don't feel like it?' she blinked. 'Are you feeling well?' she asked taking his hand and placing hers on his forehead.
'Ha – ha' he said sarcastically. 'I don't think I want to do anything anymore…' Anya rolled her eyes and her hand trailed down to his cheek, forcing him to look at her.
'Alright, alright. I'll do anything to get you to come with me.' Jack's eyes brightened and he looked down at her.
'I don't know…' he mused. 'Well…'
'I'll let you tie me to the bed posts…'
'Alright.' He said finally taking her hand firmly in his. 'But if you weren't the only skirt on this whole damn ship…'
'What about Anna Maria?' Anya asked as he opened the door. Jack's eyebrows shot up.
'That my dear, would be like going to bed with a piranha.' Anya laughed as he shut the door behind her. He stood up in front of her placing his hands on her hips, his eyes darker than they had ever been. She wrapped her arms around his neck, closing her eyes and leaning her forehead against his.
'I missed you … my pirate man.' She said nuzzling his nose with hers. Her scent surrounded Jack, the smell of citrus wafting past his nose. She placed her hands gently on his chest, then raked her fingers down his body, marking him where she wished. He let out a feral growl, then caught her hands bringing them up to his lips and kissing them. Anya looked at him, obviously surprised.
'Love I want to.' He said his eyes clenched shut, not able to believe that these words were coming from HIM. 'But if this were interrupted, and you were taken from me side again, don't know what I'd do.' His eyes finally opened, and Anya could see he wasn't joking. She withdrew her hands from his, not unmindful to the way he grimaced as she did so.
A pained expression flickered across her face. 'I suppose I must respect your decision. Mustn't I?' she said offering a small smile. She encircled her arms around herself, unable to hide how much this disheartened her. Jack placed his hands on her shoulders offering her a genuine smile which took Anya again by surprise.
'Think of it pet. In a week's time, we'll be ashore, and with each other. I promise yah a night you'll never ferget.' Anya's eyes brightened and she blushed smiling at him. 'Come on love, I'll tie yah to the bed posts… Yah like that, remember?' he said cheekily, winking at her.
'Well I guess… since you're not COMPLETELY unfortunate looking…' she said as she passed him and opened the door 'How about a look around the ship?' With that she disappeared around the corner leaving Jack standing where he was, the bomb about to go off.
'NOW WAIT A BLOODY MINUTE!!!'
