Chapter 25

Madeline turned to look at him.  Her heart began to race.  Her palms began to sweat.  The look he gave her was nothing less than sensual.  He knew how to get her every time.  A fact that she hated almost as much as she loved it.  He set the bottle of rum on the floor and sat up so that he was sitting behind her.  She quickly turned her head away from him.  Knowing that she wouldn't say no to him.

"I don't even remember the last time that we were totally alone.  No one else on the ship.  Just the two of us.  Alone."  He ran his finger down her bare arm and saw the goose bumps appear on her arms.

"Cold love?" he asked.  His voice filled with desire.

"No." she said in a whisper.

"What could we do alone I wonder?"  His finger left her arm and moved to her waist.  She felt his lips brush the back of her neck.  It was easily accessible because of her hair being up.  She gasped at his touch.  She griped the edge of the bed.  He gently kissed and ran his tongue along her bare skin.  She closed her eyes and savored his touch.  Madeline felt a rush of disappointment as his lips left her body.  She didn't turn around.  She heard the distinct sound of material ripping.

"Jack!"  She felt the back of her dress loosening and spilling down around her.  She turned to see Jack sitting there with a smile on his face and his knife in his hand.

"Yes love?"

"Why did you rip it?"

"Quicker."  He said, the grin still on his face.  She slowly turned her body to face him.  Her dress was at her waist now and she didn't really care.  The only thing that she cared about was Jack loving her.  Loving her body.  Her mind.  And her soul.  He was her one true love and would remain so for the rest of her life. 

Madeline smirked at him as she raised her hands to his shirt.  She took it in both hands and ripped it open.  When she looked up at him, he raised an eyebrow at her.

"Quicker."  She reached up to touch his now bare chest.  Savoring the feel of his skin.  "Jack, I…."

He held a finger up to her lips.

"Shhh love.  No words."  Madeline opened her mouth and took his finger inside.  Her tongue swirled around it and when she glanced up at him, he had his eyes closed.  She removed his finger and moved her mouth towards his chest.  Slowly moving her lips and tongue up his chest to his neck.  Jack could barely contain himself.  He grabbed Madeline by the shoulders and crushed her to him.  His lips sought hers in a powerful kiss.  Tongues meshing with each other.  Hands exploring the skin exposed.

"Jack, please." Madeline practically begged.

"Please what love?"

"I need you."  Jack quickly divested her of the dress so that she lay naked as the day she was born.  He stood up and removed the rest of his clothes.  He watched as she lay on his bed.  Her breathing heavy.  "Jack, hurry, please."

"Impatient aren't we love?"

"Yes damnit."  Jack smiled at her and covered her body with his.  He bent down and rained kisses on her breasts.  Madeline wrapped her hands in his hair.  She looked down and savored the sight of him with her.  It was pure glorious heaven.  She closed her eyes.  They flew open as she felt Jack raise up from her body.

"When did ye get this?"  Jack's hand was moving over a scar on her body.  She looked down and saw where his hand was.

"Tis nothing Jack."

"What do ye mean tis nothing?"  The scar was close to six inches in length and it was on her belly.  He hadn't noticed it when they were together in Port Royal.

"Jack, tis nothing.  Let it be.  Please."

"Nay.  I will not let it be.  When did this happen?" Madeline sighed.  She knew there would be no continuing until she told him.

"When I was pregnant with JJ.  We had some invaders on the island.  And I had to fight."

"How far along were you?"  Seriousness in his eyes.

"Six months." She said, turning her head away from his gaze.

"Six months Maddy! Dear God, ye could've been killed!"

"But I wasn't.  I'm here.  You're here.  We're here together Jack and right now I don't care about anything but you and me."  She forced Jack's lips to her own in a heated kiss.  She felt him part her legs with his hand and she felt him enter her body with his own.  Pure bliss.  She arched her hips toward him.  Needing to take him in as far as she could.

"Don't deny me this time Jack."  She said in a hoarse voice.

"Nay love.  I won't." Jack replied.  Remembering the day by the pool and how he had hurt her.  They moved together quickly.  Feeding each other's need.  And as quickly as it began, it came to an end.  Madeline felt a rush of heat pool through her body and she found her release.  Jack felt the change in her body and couldn't hold back any longer himself. 

"Jack!" she cried out as her release came. 

"Maddy love!" Jack cried out as he poured himself into her.  Finding his own release.  He collapsed next to her and pulled her into his arms.  He kissed the top of her head and held her tight.  Neither spoke. 

Jack suddenly sat up.  Glancing towards the window.  Madeline became alarmed at his sudden changed.

"Jack?"

"Shhh."

"Jack, you're scaring me."

BOOM!
