Can things get any better than this; June sighed into Jacks neck, as she lay curled in his arm. This was utter and complete ecstasy, her own personal nirvana; she shuddered as the pleasure enveloped her, like a cloak of pure light. The only problem was, they couldn't lie like this forever.

Jack struggled to get up again, but June dragged him back down and smothered him in kisses. "Come on June," This was all he could manage before June reigned over his mouth once more. Their tongues toiled in elation, but before it got too far Jack resignedly broke it off, "I'm Captain and I have to take care of my crew."

"I'm a member of your crew, can't you take care of me first?" June pried open his lips determined to win him over, it was only midday she didn't see why he couldn't be her's for a little while longer.

As if giving in, he rolled her onto her back and stroked her inner thigh causing a moan to escape her, then he leapt to his feet and backed out of her reach. "June, as much as I'd like to stay here with you I just can't." He slipped into some pants ignoring the glare of death she shot him. "The ship needs to be looked at, and the crew needs to be ordered around. It isn't easy being Captain, you know, a lot of hard work comes with the job."

Too busy trying to find his shirt he hadn't noticed June slinking up behind him, until she turned him around to face her. She was what dreams were made of, a picture of perfection standing there nude and undaunted; a halo of light seemed to surround her, and the gleam in her eyes was of unedited lust. His knees became weak and his organ stiffened, all he wanted to do was fall into her arms again but he knew he couldn't. Grabbing his shirt he kissed her longingly, one last time, and left squelching his desire.

June stared lovingly in his wake, such a loyal Captain with a good head on his shoulders. A smile ensued a warm glow to cover her as she cast about looking for her clothes, which she found in a pile by the door. She was delighted to find that they had been washed, but the delight turned to embarrassment for that meant that someone had come in to retrieve them and knew that she was with Jack. The thought of Captain Garrison hearing this news sent June into a wild peel of laughter, so she dressed quickly and hurried to the door, she couldn't wait to see the look on his face.

"Lady June?"

June froze her hand still on the doorknob; she had opened the door to find Blake his hand raised in mid nock. She wasn't sure what surprised her more, the site of him or the fact that no one else was around.

Trying to calm her nerves she managed a smile, "What can I do you for Blake?"

"Captain Garrison wants to know how you like your eggs." Blake laughed at the odd look she gave him and continued, "He has invited you to his ship for breakfast."

June twisted her neck to see around the doorframe and noticed that there really was no one around; the place had seen so crowded and jubilant last night, and today it seemed like only Blake remained. A slight fear sprang up in her, but she shrugged it away like a bad dream.

"Where is everyone else?" Stepping out of the doorway, letting the door close behind her, she made a graceful gesture that suggested he lead the way.

"Oh, here and there."

He attempt at an off hand answer unnerved her even more. "More there than here it seems."

Resolutely he took to not answering; his mouth determinedly closed. He led the rest of the way in silence, and even though June tried to make conversation it was as if she spoke to a brick wall. Finally as a ship rose into view Blake turned to her and held out his hand, "It was nice to meet you Lady. The Captain is waiting for you on deck."

June cast him a skeptical look before taking his hand, this seemingly innocent farewell was intermingled with ill connotation. Trying to find some answers in his eyes she found him looking away in shame. "Keep Jack safe."

He looked at her with a mingle of fear and surprise, and then turned on his heels and left. June approached the ship cautiously and noticed Garrison watching her from the deck. So many conclusions floated in her head, but she found herself stuck on one; she might never get off this boat.

"A'hoy Mi'Lady." The Captain met her on the gangplank, bowing so low it seemed that he might kiss her feet.

"Captain?" She curtsied slightly never taking her eyes off of him, something wasn't right but she couldn't figure out what.

A shadow crossed his face, but it was quickly replaced by a smile as he held his hand out to her. She took it and he led her away into the bowels of the ship.

A drop of water sliding onto Jack's face caused him to open his eyes, which was a big mistake. The sunlight that he met increased the pounding in his brain ten fold, and he shut his eyes tight. Everything was kind of blurry and he wasn't sure what was going on, the last thing he remembered was Blake meeting him out side the hut and then…

June! He sat up with a jerk and stared at his surroundings, he was lying on the deck of his ship and he could see the island floating slowly away on the horizon. It took him a while to register that it was the boat moving not the island, and by that time he had fit the mystery pieces together.

"Garrison!" Garrison wanted June and Jack, knowing Garrison's type, knew that he wouldn't rest easy till he got her. So the foul Captain had influenced Blake to take care of Jack leaving June defenseless. Jack swore loudly and got to his feet, ignoring the pain in his legs. Grabbing the wheel he spun it around pointing the ship back towards land.

"It's no use Cap'n." Jack spun around and met Scoaruge eyeing him sadly. "They took the sails."

Jack stared up in horror at the masts that stood bare and useless.

The light that seeped in from to wall- to- wall windows splendidly lit the room, where June and the Captain ate. It was a spacious room decorated with wildflower wallpaper, and besides the dinning table at which they sat a cupboard with fine china and a writing desk filled the room. This was obviously the place where the Captain hosted guest, and many had, more than likely, sat in the same seat as June.

"You know June, may I call you June?" June looked up from her pouched egg and gave him a disapproving look; he continued as if she hadn't. "I don't fancy Jack, I must be blunt, he is a pirate after all. I'm not sure how you two met either, although I only suppose it was by ill deeds, but I propose that I can assist you in more ways than you know."

"How exactly do you plan on assisting me, Captain?"

He chuckled at her audacity, but cast it aside like it was nothing. "I'll take you away, of course, you have no more need for Jack now that I'm here. I can free you from your chains and you don't need to fear him anymore."

"What makes you think I fear Jack?" She could see anger boiling beneath Garrison's jaunty facade. "I chose to journey with Jack, he didn't make me, actually on the contrary he didn't want me to sneak on his ship disguised as a cabin boy. So thank you for your offer but I'll have to refuse; I'm staying with Jack."

"Hahahaha!" He threw his hands into the air letting the laughter form freely, "My dear, sweet June. I didn't want to resort to these measures, but you don't have a choice."

June got to her feet and crossed to the door before Garrison could move, she turned the knob and threw her wait into the door; it didn't budge. Muscular arms grabbed her from behind and she let out an ear-piercing scream.

"No one can hear you my sweat!" He turned her around to face him, "And if they could, you're already mine!"

He captured her mouth with his, his dirty filthy tongue snaking down her throat, smothering her screams.
