Chapter 10:
Alexandra jerked upright and sat on the bed clutching the blanket to her chest and looking about the room, her breathing heavy and laboured. Her eyes were wide with fear and confusion as her eyes tried to adjust to the dim light in the room. Calloused hands reached up and stroked her arm gently, she felt the bed shift and arms wrap around her from behind pulling her back against the well-toned and sensual body. A husky and soft voice whispered in her ear calming her slightly.
"Hush now love. Was only a dream."
Alexandra closed her eyes shuddering at the recollection of the hands…no the skeletal hands that reached out and had tried to pull her beneath the black waves. How the voices filled with pain had called to her beckoning her beyond. She had heard her mothers' voice as she screamed at her telling her off for yet another one of her petty little mistakes.
Jack began to rock Alexandra gently back and forth in his arms whispering calming words to her all the time and trying to get her to open her eyes and look at him. Eventually after a few moments of having no response from Alexandra Jack leant forward and brushed his lips lightly over hers. Alexandra's eyes fluttered open at the sensation and she looked at him her breathing now more steady. He smiled one of his typical toothy grins that brought the briefest of smiles to Alexandra's face.
"It was horrible Jack…they tried to take me away. Tried to separate us."
"They won't love, don't you worry. It was just a little dream nothing more. They won't get you. Not now…not ever."
"But…I …it felt so real."
She curled in close to Jack her hands still gripping her bed sheet tightly so that her knuckles had gone almost as white as the sheet. He rubbed her back trying to think of someway of making her forget the dreams.
He knew that women were always hypersensitive…especially about things that made them fret and worry. But his luck with women had not been the best, he knew little of how to handle their emotions but lots on how to pleasure them.
He carried on rocking her trying to rack his brains of things that would comfort her. His thoughts were broken when her hand pressed to his cheek and a whispered and broken voice answered his question.
"Make me feel safe Jack…take me."
Jack looked into her eyes, trying to find if that is what she really wanted from him. Alexandra leant up and pressed her lips against Jacks demanding and attempting to control him. Jack kissed back meeting her force and passion and twisting her on his lap so that she now straddled him. They stayed like this, locked in a passionate embrace for what felt like hours to them.
Jack wanted to take it slightly slower, knowing that Alexandra would still be a bit hazy and mixed up after the dream but the way her hands ran down his chest so nimbly and began to undo his trousers made him forget his previous intentions completely.
Alexandra finally got the last button undone and pressed herself up against Jacks body. She cold feel his rough hands now beneath the flimsy material of her night gown, as they made their way lazy up and down her back teasing her constantly. She needed him and that was final, and this time she was going to get her way when she wanted it.
She could feel his desire hard and warm beneath her so she moved her hips subtly remembering how the first time they had slept together he had warned her of what would happen if she continued to tease him in such a way. His hands that ran across her back now gripped her sides tightly, but not enough to bruise. She smiled all too knowingly at his reaction.
Slipping her fingers beneath the gown she tugged it off completely and threw it to the floor. Before Jack could even register what she had done Alexandra had moved off of him and was working his trousers off. When she was done Alexandra moved her way back up and straddled his waist staring into his eyes intently. Both their eyes were black with desire, their breathing quick deep and wanting and their bodies alight with fires of passion.
Jack groaned at the sight before him of his angel, her skin flawless and pulled Alexandra to him positioning her above him before slowly yet forcefully her moved into her. She moaned and the pair began to move with each other as first gentle and slow but soon fast and forceful.
Jack gripped her hips as his lips played out a tantalizing path across her breasts and shoulders. Alexandra placed a hand on Jacks shoulder gripping tightly feeling her body shiver and the sensations. The other hand was tangled in his hair enjoying the feel of it.
Leaning down Alexandra pressed her lips against Jacks and kissed him deeply, her tongue running along hips lips teasingly asking to enter his mouth while still trying to make him suffer. He granted her permission and opened his mouth allowing his tongue to stroke along hers and tease back.
Alexandra could feel the tingling sensation in the pit of her stomach as it began to spread through her body, her grip tightened and she groaned into the kiss. Jack felt her shift knowing that she was close by the fact that her pace had quickened and her breathing was more laboured. He kissed her more passionately not wanting to lose her feeling himself closer to the edge.
Jack came releasing himself into her and grunting slightly as he did so. Alexandra soon followed and groaned loudly tipping her head back. Jack not wanting anyone to barge in at that moment or anytime soon at all pulled her back to him and kissed her forcefully. The pair fell back against the bed both covered in sweat and exhausted from their lovemaking. Jack leant forward pulling the sheet from its now crumpled position at the end of the bed back over the pair. They lay curled in each other's arms, feeling the gentle lull of sleep gradually take them. Alexandra managed to murmur one last thing before she fell asleep that touched Jack deep down to the soul.
"Thank you…for being mine."

The Commodore stood at the helm of his ship, gazing off into the distance and concentrated in deep thought. He had put his plan into action, sending one of his soldiers with a message to Jack Sparrow that he was invited to join him for a meal in his cabin at 8pm that evening. Knowing that Jack Sparrow was going to be detained with the Governor the rest of the day he now needed to go over and speak with Alexandra.
He could see her stood on the Black Pearl deck watching Mr.Gibbs and some of the crewmembers singing and dancing like fools. He sighed and shook his head hoping that he would be able to take Alexandra away from those wretched fools and their incorrigible ways as soon as possible.
Making his way down from the helm Commodore Norrington stood at the gangplank that was between the Black Pearl and his ship. He waited until the crew had stopped singing before calling out across to Alexandra.
"Miss Sw…I mean Mrs Sparrow. May I speak with you for a moment?"
Alexandra looked round and smiled curtsying to the Commodore and smiling at the crew who had been singing clearly excusing herself for a moment. She stood at the other end of the gangplank looking at the Commodore, her face tanned more now by the sun.
"Yes Commodore Norrington? Was there something you wished to speak to me about?"
"Ah yes, I was wondering if you would like to join me for dinner tonight. So would you care to join me perhaps at about…6pm"
Alexandra looked about wishing that Elizabeth was here to advise her, but she saw no reason why not to accept the invite. Anyway the Commodore was a gentleman and would never do anything foolish or ungentle manly. She nodded and smiled at the Commodore.
"Why thank you for the invitation, of course I will join you if Jack is as well. Have you had a reply from my husband yet?"
"Yes I have already sent him an invite explain that he may join us as soon as the meeting between him and the Governor is finished. And I do believe I will get a reply soon."
"Well then as soon as you have heard from Jack you will have my answer as well. Now if you will excuse me I have to go speak with my sister. Good day Commodore Norrington."
Alexandra curtsied and made her way across the deck over to the steps and disappeared down the staircase. Commodore Norrington smiled and turned to look across his ship. Now all he had to do was wait for Jack Sparrow's reply and hopefully his plan would go into motion.

The Governor and Jack were sat in one of the large rooms in the Commodores ship. It was large enough to be a dining hall but had maps and other papers strewn around the room. The large clock stood in one corner of the room dominated the conversation. It had now announced the coming and passing of both 3 and 4 pm and neither had really spoke that much. The Governor had from time to time looked as if he were about to speak but would then cough and re settle himself in his oversized armchair.
Jack sighed trying to resist the temptation of putting his feet up on the desk and nicking one of the pieces of fruit. In the end he gave in and reached forward taking an apple from the bowl and sitting back in the chair apple now in hand. The Governor watched Jack and smiled slightly seeing how at least he hadn't taken all the fruit, waiting until Jack had finished the apple and thrown the core out of the window, the Governor rose and walked towards the desk on which a large map lay.
"Captain Jack Sparrow. Now if I am to understand that you wed my youngest daughter I would like to enquire on a few matters which seem to have been clearly looked over."
"Go ahead ma…Governor sir."
Jack thought it best to try and keep a reasonably civil tongue in his head for Alexandra's sake. Knowing that matters were already filled with tension and anxiety he didn't wish to stir more trouble by insulting her father and his supposed father in law.
"Yes well. You see I did not see a ring upon my daughters' finger and I would so prefer it if she were to ware one if you are to announce this marriage of yours to the members of public in Port Royal. You understand don't you?"
Jack nodded and looked about the room sighing quietly to himself. He had a feeling that the way the conversation was going that he and Alexandra were in deeper than they had first thought. It was the knock on the door that broke both their trails of thought. The Governor walked over to the door and opened it curious to see who was outside. Before him stood one of the Commodore's soldiers.
"Message for Captain Jack Sparrow from the Commodore."
"Ah yes do come in."
The soldier walked in and approached Jack who was eyeing him cautiously.
"The Commodore has sent a request that you will join him at 8pm if possible for dinner in his cabin. He has already sent a message to your wife and awaits your reply."
Jack looked at the soldier in disbelief. He stood up straightening his shirt and circled the soldier.
"You mean to tell me…that Commodore has asked me to join him for dinner with my wife?"
"Yes"
"Well tell the Commodore that I accept his invitation as long as my wife in content to go." He grinned trying to sound as posh and snobby as he could but failing miserably as his accent sliced through almost immediately. The soldier nodded and bowed to them both before leaving.
"Ah excellent Captain Sparrow. I am so pleased that you will be attending a dinner with the Commodore. At least that way you will be able to discuss how you will return back to Port Royal and when."
Jack smiled at the Governor rolling his eyes and muttering under his breath about pompous old fools. He sat back in the seat and waited for the Governor to continue with his lecture about the marriage.

It was almost 6pm and Alexandra stood before the mirror trying to make herself look more presentable. Her father had sent over her chest of gowns earlier that day so she had been able to select something more suitable to wear. She didn't quite know why she was dressing up but she felt as if she should especially if she and Jack were going to be accepted as a married couple. Pity though she hadn't been able to ask Jack to try and change into a clean shirt and trousers but she hadn't seen him since that morning. Twirling in front of the mirror Alexandra checked her image once more before leaving the cabin and making her way out on deck.
There was hardly anyone up on deck as most of the crew from both ships were eating. The few that were on guard or watch were immersed in their conversations and showed little interest in Alexandra as she crossed the gangplank and made her way onto the Commodores ship.
Raising her hand she knocked on the door lightly. It was quickly opened by the Commodore who was dressed smart and to the occasion as always. She curtsied trying to remember her manners, which she had slowly begun to slip out of especially around the crew of the Black Pearl. The Commodore smiled and took Alexandra's hand kissing it lightly, she giggled and blushed forgetting how charming some men could be, but then she remembered Jack and how even without the charms like the Commodore she had still been won over by him.
She made her way over to the table and sat looking across the array of fine foods, the various smells filled her nostrils and made her mouth water. Some of these foods she hadn't eaten in such a long time and desperately made her wish that jack was there so she could begin. The Commodore was stood pouring drinks into glasses at one of the small side tables of his cabin.
Running her fingers over the silk smooth cloths of her deep blue gown she didn't feel over dressed anymore. Having seen what the Commodore was wearing and how the room was so lavishly decorated she felt like she fitted in somehow. The Commodore handed her a drink braking her train of thought, she accepted it smiling and trying to keep her gaze from wandering around the room too much.
"I thought that it would be the polite thing to do to invite you and your husband for dinner. I hardly got a chance to speak to you while we were back on Port Royal and I had so looked forward to getting to know you."
Alexandra sipped her drink and nodded feeling the Commodore's eyes gazing at her intently, it was making her feel a little nervous.
"Well with seeing my sister and everything I was rather overwhelmed with things to do Commodore Norrington. But it is so considerate of you to invite my husband and I to your ship for a meal .I understand that previous meetings with my husband were not as pleasant or on such good terms."
The Commodore laughed filling Alexandra's glass again and raising his own.
"Ah well Captain Jack Sparrow and I were of course on different sides. But enough of that matter…I wish to learn more about the woman I would have married."
Alexandra choked on her drink and placed the glass down coughing. She looked at the Commodore shocked and tried to regain her composure straightening her gown out again. The Commodore had risen and was by her side with a glass of water.
"Are you alright Miss Sparrow?"
"Oh fine thank you now…yes just a little…shocked as it would seem." She waved a hand gesturing for the Commodore to take his seat again. She didn't know what it was but having him so close after that comment he had made her made her feel slightly nervous and edgy. Perhaps it was just the shock of such a comment that made her feel that way. But now she was curious. "Umm…Commodore what did you mean by would have married if you don't mind me enquiring."
The Commodore smiled knowing that she would have asked this question he tried to brush it off as a mistake.
"Oh well Miss Sparrow it was just that you father had original said to me that if you wished we could have courted and possibly have been wed. But seeing as things have turned out differently of course that is no longer the case."
"Oh…I am sorry Commodore Norrington."
Alexandra wasn't sure what to say and really wished that Jack were here so that this conversation would never have occurred. She quickly swallowed down the rest of her drink trying to clam her nerves and watched as the Commodore refilled it. She smiled politely and looked into the deep red liquid seeing her reflection in it. She looked up at the clock seeing it was only 6:30pm. She just wished that Jack would hurry up and get out of that meeting with her father so that he could get the whole evening over and done with.
~*~
Jack had left the Governor a few moments before and was now making his way to the Commodore's cabin. It was already past 8pm but he was a pirate and cared little for deadlines. Normally he wouldn't have turned up until a good hour later after of course visiting his rum bottles but he had Alexandra to think of and so he had broken his usually routine and gone straight there.
Jack could hear laughter from inside the Commodores cabin but thought little of it probably just Alexandra telling another one of her rather bad jokes. Adjusting his hat Jack reached out and pulled open the door of the cabin, as he walked in her realised things were not at all what they seemed.
Alexandra was slumped in a chair with some of the food and various cutleries lying on the floor discarded and forgotten about around her. Her gown was tugged down off of one of her shoulders and her hair ruffled. Commodore Norrington was leant over her, his hands placed on her hips. Alexandra looked round and stared at Jack her eyes wide and her lips parted as if ready to say something.
Jack stood there frozen unable to think or react. For some reason his body had completely given up on him and he was stuck. This was of course totally unlike him as normally he could think his way out of a situation quicker than anyone else but right then he felt dumbstruck and shocked.
"Jack…"
Alexandra's voice broke Jacks moment of utter disbelief and he turned fleeing from the cabin, not listening to either the Commodore or Alexandra as they called after him.
