Chapter Sixteen: The Extent of My Sin
Jack smirked as Aurora glared daggers down at him as she rushed down the stairs to meet him. His eyes trailed over her again as they so often did.
"You followed me," She hissed at him in a deadly voice.
"That I did because you ran off without telling me where you were going," He informed her calmly.
"I don't need to tell you where I'm going," She argued, beginning to feel the effects of feeding take over as her sore body relaxed and her energy came back.
"Well what if you got into a fight," Jack countered "Which it looks like you already did." Aurora stared at him in confusion as he pointed to her lip. She placed her fingers to the corner of her mouth and felt something damp, she pulled away to see blood on her fingers.
"I didn't get in a fight," She wiped the rest of the blood from the corner of her mouth "I just bit my lip earlier." Amaya cleared her throat to catch the pair's attention and help her sister avoid any further questioning from the pirate.
"I don't believe we met," She says stepping up to Jack and placing out her hand "I am Amaya Emerson." The pirate took her sisters hand and gently kissed the back of it causing Aurora to mentally roll her eyes. Amaya quickly turned her attention back to her sister.
"I prepared you a bath upstairs," She informed motioning up the stairs; Aurora nodded and began to ascend the stairs as Amaya preoccupied Jack. When she thought no one was watching, she took a quick peek back at him and her sister as they walked away.
Aurora found her way to the familiar bath room and removed her clothing; before entering the tub she used her power to heat the water then climbed in and settled down. Leaning against the back of the tub she rested in the warm water, allowing the tension to leave her body. Her peace did not last long as the door swung open and Amaya walked in shutting it back behind her. Aurora knew exactly what she wanted from the grin spread across her face.
"It's not like that," She attempted to halt the line of questions her friend already had in store. She knew her sister well enough to know that it would not stop her but she at least tried.
"Come off it Rora," Amaya countered "I saw how you look at him and I defiantly saw how he looks at you." The water witch waved her hand causing the water to playfully splash on her sister. Aurora stared at her sister refusing to acknowledge what the other woman could so clearly see.
"You like him," Amaya stated flatly, Aurora turned to face the opposite direction of her sister. There was a brief moment of silence between the two.
"He knows where the gem is Amaya," She blurted out flatly and the other woman froze instantly with recognition. The water witch shifted and stepped closer to her sister.
"Does he now?" Her voice had suddenly darkened from its playful tone. Aurora turned back towards her and nodded slowly. Amaya's mind was still processing what her friend told her.
"I'm going with him to open the gate," Aurora locked eyes with her sister "though he will not tell me that yet." Amaya's gaze was darkened and hazy.
"Should I go ahead and inform Zola and Veata?" The water witch questioned.
"Wait until we are gone," Aurora instructed then turned back around Amaya took that as the end of the conversation and left her sister alone to bathe. Aurora washed her hair out and then her body carefully before continuing to soak while thinking of the stone. The door opened once again and Aurora turned to tell her sister to get out only instead of Amaya it was Jack standing there. Moving to the edge of the tub and pressing her body against it to cover anything important, she raises an eyebrow at him.
"Can I join you love?" He questioned smiling perversely.
Yes…Aurora shook her head slightly and stared back at Jack across the bathroom.
"I don't think that would be appropriate captain," she replied, he hopped up on the counter and made himself comfortable.
"Well it was worth a try," He reasoned smiling at her still. Aurora grabbed the towel Amaya had left for her and unfolded it, she then pulled the drain plug and held the towel up as a curtain as she got out then wrapped it around herself.
"Keep trying," Aurora shot back semi-sarcastically as she walked to the counter he sat on and picked up a brush to run through her hair. Jack got off the counter and walked behind her allowing his fingers to trail up the arm that held her towel. She shivered as his fingers drifted across the smooth alabaster flesh of her back then crossed to the front to inch across the top of her breast. Aurora's mind felt hazy as he pulled back her hair and began to place small soft kisses on her neck. Her eyes closed on their own accord yet her fingers clutched the towel tighter as he moved up to nibble on her earlobe softly. Her heart raced and her body felt warmer, he wrapped his arms around her waist. Her head fell back onto his shoulder giving him access to more smooth pale skin which he took greedily nibbling and sucking on her sensitive pale flesh leaving pink and red marks sure to become light bruises later on. One of Jack's hands drifted from her waist up to her breast gently cupping it though the towel, his touch was somewhat rough but enjoyable as he massaged the firm mound gently. She could feel the last bit of control she had left begin to slip as she turned her head to catch him in a deep kiss. Her tongue dominated this time taking over and exploring his mouth the way he had done her and she pivoted her body in one fluid motion so that she now faced him. He broke free from her lips and began to assault the new skin before him using his teeth to nip at her collarbone, slowly moving the towel down centimeter by centimeter to reach more of her burning flesh. Aurora backed up and leaned against the counter, arching her back she moaned at lowly at what he was doing to her from these simple actions, her knees felt weak and her stomach felt knotted with the need to be touched more. Her thighs burned, her blood boiled and she could feel herself go moist in her body's anticipation. She finally pried her eyes open and looked in the small mirror she had just stood in front of to see her eyes tinted red. Aurora flinched and attempted to pull Jack from her body. She shivered as cool air hit where his body had once been pressed against.
"Not here Jack," Her voice is husky and jagged. He pulls away confused, but she doesn't make eye contact instead she finishes detangling herself from his grasp and leaves through the door leading to her room.
Shouldn't have tried that just after feeding…It takes all her resolve not to throw the door back open and pull him in with her.
My whole existence is flawed.
