I don't know if anyone besides CaptainMarySparrow is reading this, but thanks for the update chica- this chapter is for you! (and if you are reading, please give alittle love and update!) Thanks!
It was not hard for Captain Jack Sparrow to track down his... well, woman, whore, whatever he really wanted her to be. Jack followed Julia to a shabby little house located on the outskirts of Tortuga.
"Bed check. Table check. Cooking effects, check. It'll do." Jack muttered before taking a breath and walking in to the shack.
"Julia was it luv? Jack Sparrow, mark that Captain Jack Sparrow at your service." Said Jack with flourish as he bowed with arm and hat outstretched.
Julia took this time to examine the man who stood before her. Bile quickly rose in her throat at the thought that he owned her but at least she was free of Benson.
"The devil you know is always better than the one you don't." Julia's mothers voice echoed in her mind.
"Atleast you're not bad looking," Julia mused, "but I won't be your whore."
"I'm glad ye like me face luv, I like yours too. But for one hundred and fifty shillings you'll be whatever I want ye to be." Jack said jauntily walking closer to Julia. He looked at her cheek and lightly touched it.
"Ye'll be needin' to ice that luv. One thing I can promise is that I'll never hit ya like that stupid goat did."
Julia said nothing and starred at Jack.
"'Ere," said Jack handing Julia a wet rag he grabbed off of her table. "Put it on yer cheek. It'll help."
"What do you care?" said Julia grabbing the rag and pressing it to her throbbing cheek.
"I care because yer mine Julia."
"I'm not yours." Julia replied. "And I won't be your whore."
"Doll," said Jack cupping Julia's face, "Luv, Jack here, Captain Jack, mind ye, promises ye he will have that lovely body but if ye not willing tonight- well then there's always manana luv. For tonight at least, I require a bath and hot food." Jack smiled sarcastically displaying his gold teeth.
"And if I don't agree?" asked Julia stepping back to move away from Jack Sparrow.
"Then I'll be takin' what I really desire." Jack replied stepping forward to meet her body as he lazily trailed a finger over her collarbone.
"Fine." Julia said quickly turning on her heels to make Captain Jack Sparrow dinner.
"Manana luv, manana. But for now, food and a bath. Maybe ye'd even join moi."
"I don't think so Mr. Sparrow or should I say master?" said Julia as she peeled a potato.
"Captain do just fine luv." Jack said with a smirk as she turned away from him again and began hauling water.
"Yes 'ole Jack could get mighty use to this. Smartest thing I've prolly ever done." Jack said with a smile as he watched Julia work.
"Don't count your chickens before their hatched Captain Sparrow." Replied Julia to which Jack just laughed.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Jack picked the last bit of chicken off of his plate, splashed some rum down his throat and leaned back in his chair.
"Best meal I've ever had the pleasure of luv. Atleast in awhile... think I be keepin' ya." Jack slurred.
"And what is to come of me? I have no job and apparently you own me! A pirate, I assume you're a pirate," said Julia looking directly at Jack, "owns me! Jesus!"
"Pirate Captain." Jack corrected. "Think of our arrangement more as... I make ye happy and ye do the same for 'ole Jack!"
"I'm sure." Julia said with a sigh.
"Look luv," said Jack as he sat up a bit straighter, "I'll let you work off your debt to me. But ye be done only I when I say done. Savvy?" Jack added quickly.
"My debt?" Julia said a bit shocked.
"I paid one hundred and fifty shillings for ye dear. Somehow I'm gonna get me money outta ye. So ye can work on me ship, cook, clean, warm my bed, and more and then..."
"And then you'll let me go. Just like that?" Said a disbelieving Julia.
"You work for 'ole Jack 'ere and eventually ye be free. Besides luv, don't tell me ye really wanted to spend the rest of ye long healthy life with Benson? Eventually he would've taken what I'm willing to let ye give me willingly." Jack said with a bit of a slur as his hands reached for the rum.
Julia sighed. The man was unstoppable. "Does he really need more rum?" She thought.
"All right Captain Sparrow you have a deal." Julia said looking at him.
"An accord then?" said Jack standing up, the rum still clenched in his right hand as he brought it to his lips.
"Yes. We have a concord." Said Julia moving to sit on her bed.
"Never heard it put like that but if ye say so luv." Jack replied following her to the bed.
Julia snorted. "Yer a pirate. What would you know?"
"Be nice and shake luv." Said Jack as he wrapped his left arm around Julia's waist and pulled her close, the right hand putting the rum down on the bedside floor.
"Captain! I-"
Jack cut Julia off by kissing her hard on the lips. The two struggled, both fighting for dominance before Julia eventually gave in.
"I just cannot win with him," she thought. "Or maybe you don't want to win." Her mind snapped back.
"Ahh... so ye do like me. I'm flattered Julia. I like ye too. But as to our accord Miss Julia please shake me hand." Jack said letting her go.
"You're diabolical." Said Julia
"I wouldn't go that far luv. Now shake." Said Jack extending his right hand with a crafty grin.
"But-"
"Shake me hand luv or else I'll kiss ye again and this time I won't be a gentleman and stop." Jack said as he starred at her from beneath his kohl lined eyes and Julia believed him. So she stuck her hand out to meet his and they shook. Then slowly Jack brought Julia's hand to his lips and gave her hand a sweet kiss.
"What was that?" Asked Julia as Jack chuckled and once again stood.
"Well I'm fed, the bath can wait 'til morrow, so bed. Join me luv?" asked Jack as he removed his jacket and undid his sash. His shirt then came off and his boots followed.
"Not bloody likely." Said Julia attempting to walk away.
"Bloody likely luv." said Jack as he grabbed her and pulled her to him. Jack pushed her shoulder length dirty blond hair over her shoulder and whispered into her ear.
"You're beautiful. A beauty." And before she knew what had hit her, Jack had pulled Julia's dress off leaving her only clad in a shift.
Julia gasped and Jack smiled.
"I usually sleep in the nude luv. I could remove it all if ye like." Jack said taunting her.
"That's quite all right Sparrow." Julia replied her arms wrapping around her chest to protect her from his eyes.
"Captain Sparrow Julia. Now come to bed luv." Jack purred as he pulled back her beds covers.
"No. Said Julia holding herself staunch.
"We can do this the hard way or the easy Julia. Now come." Said Jack.
Julia once again sighed and let him lead her to the bed. So to sleep the pirate Captain and his newly acquired treasure went.
