Once is Never Enough

Chapter 8 The Deal

Elizabeth woke up and found herself in Jack Sparrow's arms. He looked very peaceful and calm when he slept and she rested her head on his shoulder. "Jack?"

Opening his eyes slowly he looked at her.

"Yes love?"

She didn't say anything but kissed him. Kissing her back Jack let his body relax so much it felt as if he were part of the bed. Pulling away, Elizabeth undid his shirt and started drawing imaginary pictures on his chest with her nails.

Jack took the abuse she was inflicting on his body and hoped that she wouldn't let things go too far. So much for hope.

"You know, you were wrong Jack. I wouldn't have hated you."

Jack's eyes grew big and his instantly let himself grow aroused for her. Grabing her shoulders he pulled her up and kissed her.

Turning to his side he looked her in the eyes and slowly lifted her shirt off her body. Touching her with the tips of his fingers Jack just carressed her until she pressed up against him, waiting.

"Elizabeth."

"Please take me Jack. I want you so bad, more than I ever wanted Will."

He didn't need anymore push. Rolling Elizabeth on her back Jack discarded the rest of his clothes and hers. Laying on top of her he studied her face.

"Please tell me this is what you want."

Her eyes seemed to glass over as she responded. "This is what I want Jack."

The pirate smiled his half-way smile and lowed himself onto her small frame. Only hesitating for a second, Jack slid into her making Elizabeth shiver with need. Letting her hands roam over his body she felt the perfectness of his muscles. Feeling her using her feather soft touch Jack moved in her, being as gentle and cautious as if she would break if he moved in the wrong way, and it was bringing Elizabeth higher and higher.

"Jack please." She whined, in a soft voice. "I need you."

After that the pirate lost all control over his body and he started to move faster and harder.

The pleasure Elizabeth was feeling was driving her crazy and she moaned, screaming his name. Hearing her call his name sent a huge bolt of passion through his body and he reacted as if he had never felt it before. His breath came is short gasps of air as he pushed harder and faster as if he couldn't give her enough of him.

Elizabeth moaned louder and grabed his back, bringing him impossibly closer. His heavy breathing was released on her neck and she grew so hot she thought she would physically burn.

"Jack!" She yelled when he pulled out of her. "Don't stop."

He listened and slid back into her, filling the space he first created. After what felt like hours he rolled off her and she layed her head on his chest. The wind was picking up outside and a gust came through the window. The sweat that had collected on his body made Jack shiver and Elizabeth cuddled to him, warming herself with the intese heat that still radiated from his body.

Jack then pulled the light blanket that was on the floor up around them. The afternoon sun was facing the opposite way, casting them both in shadows.

"Jack?"

"Yes love?"

Elizabeth looked around the room and then closed her eyes as another gust of wind blew up from the ocean. "I'm hungry."

Jack smiled and picked up her clothes that found their way onto the floor. "Go downstairs and tell my mother, she loves to cook."

"Oh good. I haven't had anyone but cooks cook for me. I would like it very much."

Jack nodded and watched her as she put her clothes on. She was beautiful and smart, not two things he would put together. That made him wonder what he gotten himself into.

"Should I tell her to make you something too?" Elizabeth asked when she saw Jack watching her.

"Just something light. I have to go into town today with my brother. I won't be long darling."

She smiled and kissed him softly on the lips. Before she could leave Jack grabbed her arm.

"What's between us darling?"

She thought about it then twisted the ring on her finger.

"I mean, what about your William?"

She looked him in the eyes. "We can make it whatever you want it to be Jack. The ring is just for show anyway, " She said, lying through her teeth. "It doesn't bind me to him."

Jack nodded, though not completely convinced.

Elizabeth walked out of the room and shut the door behind her.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Jack sat in the dimly lit pub next to his brother and wondered why people had to make a perfectly good day terrible.

"Okay Rich, what about one hundered pieces of gold?" Alex asked and the older pirate shook his head.

"Son, you couldn't pay me enough to go on this so called 'adventure'."

"Look." Jack said, tired of being quiet. "We are giving you pirate immunity, gold, a place on my ship that isn't infested with bugs, and anything else you could want. Hell you can even bring a woman with you." Alex cringed at that, he had the same beliefs as Jack's first mate Mr. Gibbs and he already had a long conversation with his brother about bringing Elizabeth.

"No woman would be as stupid as to come with you Captain."

"Name your price." Jack said.

"When we get the map we go to paradise. Then, I want my own ship."

Jack nodded, he wouldn't have made such a large deal to just anyone but he knew of Rich's reputation, good with a sword, wits, and strength. "Fine, deal?"

The pirate looked around, "Deal."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"We can't go to that place Jack! You said you were going to burn it if you found it!"

"Look, you can stay here if you like. I need this man as part of my crew. You must understand."

Elizabeth folded her arms and looked around at anything but the man standing infront of her.

"You know I have to go Jack." She said and looked to the floor, uncertain.

"I won't let anything happen to you love." He said and walked toward her,wrapping his arms around her. "I love you Elizbeth."
