Ruby laid on the sand with the hot sun beating down on her. Her head was pounding as the affects of the rum were wearing off. She was now on the island laying on the sand waiting for the rest of the crew to row over to the island and for them to get prepared. Jack had taken her over first in the row boat, to let her dry up on solid ground.

Ruby closed her eyes and rolled on to her back, she remembered the first and last time she was on the island. Her father had arrived in India for Christmas when she was five, her grandfather was extremely displeased that her father had shown up. Rob Hellstorm had brought his daughter lavish gifts and spoiled her for his stay despite what her mother had wanted. Then he sprung a surprise that upset Ruby's mother, he was taking Ruby on a trip. The trip was to the island, her father had given her the ring and showed her how to find the treasure. He told her not to tell a soul, at time she didn't understand why no one was to know or why he was even showing it to her.

Ruby opened her eyes slowly, the burning sun was gone now and was replaced with a brightly shining moon. She blinked as she pushed herself up to a sitting position, it was night time now. Confused she looked out in front of her, the pearl was still there so Jack hadn't abandoned her, but it was silent she couldn't hear the crew. Inhaling deeply Ruby yanked her skirts up slightly and made her way up and on to her feet.

"Yer up now," Ruby turned around to find Jack sitting a few feet behind her in the dark with a bottle of rum in hand. She creased her brows at him as she stared at him for a moment before walking over to him and sitting down in the sand next to him.

"It is night time," said Ruby.

"Aye it is," Jack took another drink from his bottle of rum as he looked out over the water. Ruby looked over at him as she realized she must of slept the day away on the sand, and the treasure Jack was so excited and determined about was still waiting to be found.

"How come you did not wake me?" asked Ruby. Jack shrugged.

"I tend not ta disturb ya when yer peaceful," muttered Jack. Ruby rolled her eyes as she drew her knees up to her chest.

"And the crew?" inquired Ruby.

"Further down," said Jack nodding towards the last part of the island they could see. A bright amber glow beamed from the fire they had going, and though she could hear them Ruby was sure the rum was flowing.

"They needed a rest," said Jack, "Ya wanna be joinin' em?"

"No,"said Ruby softly. They sat in silence for a few more moments, Jack drinking his rum and Ruby just watching the scene of water in front of her.

"Sparrow," Ruby looked over at Jack who was still staring straight ahead.

"Yes luve,"

"I want an honest answer, when we were in that church the night we got married and you had not known who I or my father was, do you think you still would have married me?" Ruby looked at Jack expecting an answer. Jack was silent for a moment before he took another drink from his rum then looked over at Ruby.

"I'm beginn' ta think ya think I married yer name," said Jack in a monotone voice. Ruby creased her brow as she looked at Jack, no matter how much Jack said it, she didn't believe him when he'd tell her that he didn't marry her because of her last name.

"Well we are here are we not?"muttered Ruby. Jack glanced over at her quickly then looked away, she had a point.

"What if I asked ya ta stay?" asked Jack.

"What? Stay here?" snorted Ruby, "Not likely." Jack shook his head in annoyance.

"No, not 'ere don't be daft. I meant if I asked ya ta stay with me, on the Pearl," explained Jack.

"Oh," was all Ruby could get out, she certainly wasn't expecting Jack to ask her that and so bluntly. She wanted to go back to her old life desperately but part of her told her that even if she did go back to India things were never going to be the same, she had changed. But staying on the Pearl with Jack didn't appeal to her either, Jack was the cause of her change and everything she seen as a problem in her life.

"Well love?"

Ruby mentally asked herself the question, do I want to stay with Jack? "Yes." Ruby almost gasped as she heard what had come out of her mouth. Jack looked over at her almost in disbelief himself, he didn't think she was actually going to say yes.

"Ya will love?" Ruby looked at Jack and opened her mouth to say no, she had made a mistake, but the look on her face stopped her. It was if someone had turned on a lightbulb, he just lit up and looked hopeful.

"Yeah,"said Ruby unsurely as she forced a smile. Jack leaned over and pressed his lips to Ruby's, his free hand came up behind her and caressed the back of her hair, tangling his fingers in her hair. At first Ruby tried to resist the kiss by barely responding but Jack's warmth and want for her won her over and eventually she fell into the kiss. Ruby felt herself being gently pushed back into the sand as Jack's tongue pushed through her lips. Jack abandoned the bottle of rum in the sand as he leaned over top of Ruby and ran his now free hand over her hips. A moan slightly escaped Ruby's lips as Jack's lips left her lips down towards her neck as his hand still continued to cradle the back of her head. Ruby's mind screamed at her to stop Jack, it was all one big mistake, she didn't mean to say she would stay with him and she shouldn't be surrendering to Jack's touch.

"Jack," Ruby's voice was weak as Jack assaulted her neck with his lips, she was having trouble finding the words to say with Jack's hands roaming her body and distracting her.

"Jack….I…uh….I think," Ruby's voice got shaky as Jack rubbed her thighs through her thin dress, "I think we should….oh wow." Jack brought his hand up to her core and pressed through the dress at the sensitive skin. Ruby could feel the blood rushing through her as the pressure from Jack's touch sent a tingling pleasure from her womanhood. Jack brought his lips back up to Ruby's as he smirked to himself at the reaction he was getting from her with such small touches, she was now putty in his hands.

"C'mon love," muttered Jack softly as he slid his hand down from behind her head to the middle of her shoulders. He pulled Ruby into a sitting position as he quickly undid the fastening on the back of the dress, he wanted her out of her dress as fast as possible. Ruby was under his complete control as she submitted to Jack undressing her. The cool night air chilled her skin as Jack stripped her chest of the dress. Once her breasts and stomach were expose she naturally lifted her bum up so Jack could pull the rest of the dress off of her.

As he discarded the dress in the sand next to them Jack took Ruby's right ankle in his hand and softly brushed his lips against the small round bone of the inside. Ruby laid back as she felt Jack's warm lips and scruffy bread go further up her leg. Anything inside of her now that was protesting Jack's actions was now silenced as Jack's lips got closer up her thigh to her core which was now throbbing in pleasure. A lazy moan escaped Ruby's lips as she felt Jack's tongue drag over her sensitive womanhood. Jack held on to his Ruby's hips as orally pleasured her. A heat engulfed Ruby's body as she pressed herself closer to Jack's mouth. Jack could feel her twitching and bucking and knew she was close to climaxing as her wetness grew. Reluctantly to both, Jack pulled his mouth away and looked down at Ruby's questioning face.

"Shhh love," said Jack quietly as Ruby went to open her mouth in protest to his stopping. Ruby watched as Jack quickly shed his clothes leaving them in the sand with hers. Her eyes then took in his body in full, from her experiences with Mandeep's many men she could clearly tell Jack's body was magnificent. Carefully she ran her hands up his chest and over his shoulders as Jack leaned down to meet her lips again. As Jack assaulted her lips once more Ruby could feel his hardness against her thighs and the tip of it teasing her course by brushing against the sensitivity.

Jack pulled away again and looked down at Ruby as he pulled his hips up brought them back down entering Ruby. Ruby moaned as she felt Jack in her, at first she felt a twinge of pain as she was stretched out but once he was fully in the pain turned to pleasure. Ruby grasped on to Jack's back as he started to pull out half way before pushing himself back in. Jack held one of her hips while he steadied himself with his other hand. Jack fell into the natural rhythm of making love to his wife, he looked down at her and seen the look of heated ecstasy on Ruby's face. Being with Ruby was different from any other woman he had been with, Ruby was his, he had been the one to touch her, it amazed him at times that out of all the men in the world he was the lucky one who got her.

Jack could feel Ruby tightening around him as his own climax was nearing.

"Faster Jack," breathed Ruby as she clawed at Jack's back drawing herself closer to him. Jack complied with her request and sped up his thrusts as he took his hand off her hip and wrapped it around her lower back to keep her closer. Ruby moaned loudly as she felt a trembling come over her as her muscles clenched tightly and waves of pleasure rolled over her from her core. As Ruby tightened around him Jack grunted as he took two long, hard thrusts before releasing himself. Ruby collapsed back into the sand sweaty and relaxed, Jack lowered himself down next to her feeling just as relaxed.

With his hand still wrapped around her back Jack pulled her in closer to him until her head rested on his chest. Slowly Ruby snuggled into Jack's chest and closer her eyes. Jack kissed the top of her head before closing his eyes as well ready for the treasure that the next day held.
