Chapter 20

Lust

"Jack Sparrow? Why I haven't seen him since he fell off of the fort," Elizabeth lied easily as she turned to a maid and motioned for her to get Norrington something to eat. "Is he in town?"

"Well I do not actually know, the Black Pearl was seen moving west from Port Royal, while we don't actually know if they stopped here, they were spotted. I was hoping one of you might know?" Norrington asked politely.

"I, much like Elizabeth, have not seen Jack since the fall. I'm sorry to disappoint you Commodore," Will said between bites of his dinner.

"Call me James, please. I do believe we met earlier today, am I correct?" James asked turning to Saihrena.

"Yes we did, it is wonderful to see you again Commodore. I am dreadfully sorry about my earlier appearance but I couldn't very well ride in skirts now could I?" She asked slightly hysterical. She covered it by taking a small bite of her food.

"Of course my dear, it is very understandable," James's eyes were locked upon her as he spoke. A plate of food was brought out for him then and everything was quiet for a while. "So where are you from Miss Silvern?"

"I am originally from Spain, but my parents brought me to England when I was very young. Elizabeth and I grew up together," Saihrena said.

"Oh yes, it was absolutely horrid when I had to leave her, but we've kept in contact these past nine years," Elizabeth cut in smoothly.

"Why are you visiting now?" James asked.

"Well I couldn't make it for their wedding, my mother was very ill and I helped take care of her. She just passed away recently," Saihrena said, tears coming to her eyes as she thought of her mother. It still hurt her tremendously to think of her mother.

"Are you alright Miss Silvern?" James asked, placing a hand over hers.

"Yes, I'm sorry," she said, swallowing the lump in her throat and wiping her eyes. "It's still rather new, but after she passed I thought it would be nice to see Elizabeth, so my friends and I boarded a ship and here we are," she finished, a smile on her lips that didn't reach her eyes.

"What ship did you come in on?" James asked, and Saihrena was shocked, she had no idea what to say.

"I'm not exactly sure, I can never remember anything about ships-"

"I believe it was the Singing Lady," Rakasha cut in smoothly; apparently she had thought to notice the ships in the harbor when they had arrived.

"That sounds right," Saihrena smiled in thanks.

"Well," James said rising from his seat, "I have taken up enough of your time, Elizabeth thank you for dinner it was delicious."

"Anytime James," she said, rising from her seat and curtsying. The others stood and followed her example.

"I hope you will be staying for a while, perhaps we can speak some more," James said to Saihrena.

"Of course, it has been a pleasure." James took her hand and kissed it, then left the room. Saihrena sat back in her chair with a loud sigh as the front door slid shut.

"It seems the good Commodore has taken a fancy to you," Elizabeth smirked. Saihrena glared at her as the kitchen door burst open.

"Well it's a shame the good Commodore won't be touchin me pirate princess," Jack growled making Saihrena giggle.

"As if that would ever happen, Jack," she said. The rest of the pirates filed into the room and resumed their seats. "So were you all listening at the kitchen door?"

"Aye," Jonathon said with a smirk.

"Good then we don't have to fill you in on anything," Gabriella said.

"He let the matter drop awfully quickly," Will murmured.

"I thought so too," Liz said. "Could it be that he was so enamored of our new friend here that he just wanted to drop the matter and speak with her?"

"Or per'aps 'e 'as sumthin up 'is sleeve," Jack snarled.

"Well I think it's time for bed," Saihrena said. Jack perked up as she said this.

"Oh yes bed sounds nice," he said smirking.

"Well let me think if we have enough rooms," Liz said deep in thought.

"Well Gabriella and Jonathon will share, and Rakasha and Bandit, as will Jack and I," Saihrena said. Jack continued his smirk.

"So four rooms then? I think we can manage that," Liz smiled. "Please follow me and we will get you all situated."

"So what did ye think o ole Norry?" Jack asked as they were getting ready for bed.

"He seems very nice, very gentlemanly," Saihrena said, still a bit upset about earlier when he hadn't taken her arm or pulled out her chair for her like everyone else had.

"But ye dun' go fer the gentlemanly type luv," Jack whispered, while she was undressing he had come up behind her making her jump.

"And just how would you know that Jack Sparrow?"

"Cuz yer with a scallywag."

"Hmm, I see, you know you're right Jack. I'll see you later then," she smirked and headed for the door playfully.

"'ey, none o that luv," Jack said as he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her to him. "Ye know ye can't get enough o ole Jack," he said and kissed her softly. He was right she couldn't, but she'd be damned if she'd let him know that. It took all her willpower to, but eventually she pulled away from his soft lips and warm embrace.

"You think so?" She smirked as she continued walking to the door.

"Come on now me pirate princess, what can I say te make ye stay?" He asked grabbing her wrist to prevent her from leaving. He didn't have to say anything to get her to stay, she would have stayed with him no matter what, but she pretended to think about it anyway.

"Hmm, I'm not sure," she mumbled as he pulled her close again.

"How 'bout I love ye," he whispered. Her eyes bulged and her mouth dropped open as he said it.

"What did you say?" She whispered, having never heard him say that before. Jack shook his head and laughed.

"I said I love ye," he whispered looking deep into her eyes. She smiled.

"That will do," she whispered back and kissed him hard. He loved her.
