/ When the visions around you,

Bring tears to your eyes

And all that surround you,

Are secrets and lies

I felt regret and fear overtaking me. Jack must have sensed it to. He stopped what he was doing and backed away. I looked at him and then at the floor.

"Jasmine. I don knoe what 'he bloody 'ell 'e did te ye, but I'm 'ere fer ye. I want nothing more 'han te 'old ye and comfort ye." Tears had srpung new to his eyes..

/ I'll be your strength,

I'll give you hope,

Keeping your faith when it's gone

The one you should call,

Was standing here all along

I threw myself into his arms. I cried into his chest for long hours. This was ridiculous there was nothing I wanted more than to have Jack wash the nasty feeling of Marlow away. I pulled away, I caressed his tear stained cheek and kissed him.

"Jack." He looked into my eyes. "Make love to me Jack. Wash away this nasty feeling. Make me understand that he'll never touch me again. I want you to be the only touch I know from now on." He gathered me in his arms and stood to walk to our cabin.

/And I will take

You in my arms

And hold you right where you belong

Till the day my life is through

"Not 'ere love." He walked up on deck me cuddled close to him in his arms. It felt so right to be held by him. I loved him more than ever. He opened the door to our cabin, carefully shutting it behind him. He walked over and laid me on the bed. He looked into my eyes.

"Are ye sure love. Are ye sure 'his be what ye truly want?" He raised an eyebrow when I didn't respond right away. In stead I looked into his eyes and saw a passion I had not seen in any man's eyes before.

/This I promise you

I've loved you forever,

In lifetimes before

And I promise you never...

Will you hurt anymore

I smiled at him reassuringly and then kissed him.

"Make me forget I was ever touched by another Jack." He smiled and kissed me deeply his hands gently caressing my sides. It had been so long since the last time I felt someone being this gentle with me. I wrapped my arms around his neck as his hands came around to my breasts. I tensed a little and Jack sensed this he pulled back to look at me. I reminded myself that it was Jack, my beloved Jack touching me so tenderly. I smiled and took his lips in another passionate kiss. He gently massaged my breasts, I moaned into his mouth.

I could feel his lower body responding against my thigh, this made me moan even more. I wasn't afraid anymore. It was my Jack making passionate love to me, No one else.

/ I give you my word

I give you my heart (give you my heart)

This is a battle we've won

And with this vow,

Forever has now begun...

Jack felt the sudden change in my body language and smiled against my lips. He knew then, right then I was okay. He could feel it in the way I moved against him. He smiled wider. He had won this epic battle. He worked the ties on my shirt until they finally came loose and he slipped the shirt over my head and kissed down my neck.

"God... Jack... I've missed this... I've missed you..." He smiled against my skin. He kissed around my breasts finally bringing his lips to my nipple. His hands moved down my body and onto the ties to my pants. He was undoing me with the slightest touches. He looked up at me.

"Jasmine. Darlin', I luv ye with all me heart. That'll never change darlin' no matter what 'appens in our lives." I smiled as a tear rolled down my cheek. He wiped it away and kissed me softly.

/Just close your eyes (close your eyes)

Each loving day (each loving day)

I know this feeling won't go away (no..)

Till the day my life is through

He broke the kiss and went back to the ties on my pants and lick and sucked at my other nipple. I moaned and closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling of his mouth and hands all over my body. What made it even better was the fact that it was Jack who was pleasing me, it was Jack not Marlow or Johnson. It was my lover, Jack.

Finally undoing the ties to my pants, he dragged them off my waist and down my legs. Every where he touched me was on fire. He came back up my body and kissed and licked at my nipples again, his hand caressing my wet desire. His finger found my Clit and rubbed gently.

/This I promise you..

Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)

When I hear you call

Without you in my life baby

I just wouldn't be living at all...

"God.. Jack... Oh my god..." He heard me calling for him and stopped momentarily and then kept up on his work. I laced my fingers in his hair and tried to bring him up to kiss me. "Jack please... Please... Jack I need you.. I need you in me..." Hearing this Jack kept his hand moving but stopped his assault on my nipple and kissed his way up my body. He positioned himself at my opening.

"How bad do ye want me gi'l?" Jack asked teasingly rolling his hips at my opening. I moaned and tried to get more contact between our desired areas. Jack wouldn't have it though.

"I want you so bad... Please captain... You're the one I want... you're the one I need." I moaned he smiled against my skin and lowered himself into me. I moaned and bit at his shoulder. He shivered and moved into me more. The slow acceleration of his thrusts were driving me mad. My fingernails raked him back and my legs wrapped about his waist. Jack bent his head trying his hardest to keep composure; he tried to hide it by sucking on my neck leaving a red mark the size of a quarter.

"Damnit Jack... Quite playing with me." I thrust my hips against his and he moaned aloud. "Take me Jack..." I looked into his eyes pleadingly. He smiled and started to thrust harder in and out. Pulling out almost entirely and then ramming back in. My walls shook with my Orgasm, it was just too much for Jack. He pulled out one last time and rammed back into me with his release. He smiled down on me and kissed me, he soon fell on top of me. Our breathing erotic, but both of us in pure pleasure.

/And I will take (I will take you in my arms)

You in my arms

And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)

Till the day my life is through

This I promise you baby

He rolled off me and took me within his strong arms and embraced my naked form to him. He grabbed a blanket and covered us.

"Jasmine, I luv ye so much. I promise ye I'll never let harm come to you ever again." He kissed the back of my neck.

"I love you too Jack. I don know what I'd do with out you." I snuggled back against him. His arms around me in a possessive hold. He kissed my neck one more time, he leaned forward just enough to whisper.

/ Just close your eyes

Each loving day (each loving day)

I know this feeling won't go away (no..)

Every word I say is true

This I promise you

"Go to sleep luv. No harm will come to you with ole' Jack around to protect you." A smile crept to my lips and for the first time in months I had felt entirely safe right there in my lovers arms.
