Jack squinted at the relentless sun that shined mercilessly into his eyes. He grabbed his throbbing head and shielded his eyes remembering his excessive drinking from the previous night. He slowly got up with waves of pain coursing throughout his entire body, seeing red stars exploding in front of his eyes and suddenly wishing he hadn't drank so heavily. He walked to the desk in the corner of his cabin opening the top drawer and taking out a flask. He unscrewed the lid taking a small whiff of the sweet contents inside. Smiling to himself, he thought rum was the cure for everything. He put the mouth of the flask to his lips, tipped it upwards, and swallowed the remains of the rum enjoying the burning sensation it gave going down his throat. He sat down on his bed for a few moments with his eyes closed letting the rum work its magic in curing his aching head.
When he began to feel better, he got dressed and walked to the door. He heard the voices of Will and Elizabeth but was unable to make out clear words. Mumbling was all he could hear so he cracked his door open slightly just in time to see Will making his way down the hall. As soon as he turned the corner and was out of sight, Jack opened his door, walked to Elizabeth's cabin, and knocked lightly. Without waiting for a response he opened the door and walked in closing the door behind him. Elizabeth was standing in front of the window, back to him, and had not heard him come in.
"Hello, Love," his voice rasped.
She gasped and spun around putting her hand over her beating heart. Her eyes were wide and she was leaning against the wall for support. "Jack, you scared me!" she said with a small laugh and an embarrassed shake of her head.
"I'm sorry, Love," he said and began to walk towards her. He ran a hand through her slightly tangled hair letting it slide down her shoulder and across her chest and continuing down her stomach. "I missed your company last night," he said flashing her a smile of gold, a twinkle in his eyes.
"You better go. Will shall be back at any moment," she said stepping back causing his hand to drop from her body. He reached out for her again but she took another step backwards turning her head and averting her eyes from his confused look.
"What's the matter? Have I done something wrong?" his words were slightly slurred.
"Yes...No...Well..."
"Which is it, Love?"
"I don't know...I'm just confused."
"Will you be joining me tonight?" he asked, his face considerably close to hers invading her personal space.
No answer. He took yet another step towards her lifting her chin with his hand. She stared into his eyes seemingly lost in a trance. He slowly closed the gap between them brushing his lips against her neck and hooking his arms around her waist. He slowly ran his tongue up her neck leaving a cool wet trail and took a soft nibble on her ear lobe before whispering, "It was lonely without your company. I can only hope you will come visit me tonight."
His hot breath in her ear sent shivers down her spine and was almost too much to bear. She put both of her hands on his chest and gently pushed him away. "Jack, just go." She seemed desperate almost pleading with him.
He leaned in giving her a soft gentle kiss and then made his way to the door. He stopped, turning to look at her once more. "Tonight," he whispered before walking out.
Once he was outside her cabin, he pulled the door shut letting his hand slip from the knob. Just then Will came around the corner carrying breakfast for himself and Elizabeth. Jack began to walk down the hall toward him.
"Good morning, Jack," Will cheerfully said in passing.
"Good morning, indeed," Jack answered and staggered the rest of the way down the hall.
********************
Will entered his cabin seeing Elizabeth sitting on the bed looking a bit frazzled. His worry and concern of her state were constantly growing every day. He didn't understand her problems and he couldn't get her to talk him about them; therefore, he was unable to help her.
Shaking his head with a sigh he asked, "How are you this fine morning? Are you feeling alright?"
She stretched looking up at him smiling and shaking her head, "Mm hmm."
"Look, about what happened last night..." he handed her breakfast to her.
"Will, you have already apologized enough. It was not your fault. Now, not another word."
"I still can't help but feel responsible." She looked into his eyes, seeing them clouding with tears as he continued. "I just want to know..."
She put her hands on either side of his face and took his lips roughly with her own cutting off his words. She gave him a long passionate kiss, tangling her tongue with his. When they broke apart, they were both breathless.
"No more. Okay?"
He nodded his head in agreement and they ate in silence.

Later that night, Elizabeth sat alone on the deck thinking about her conversations with Jack and with Will that morning. She had been contemplating for well over an hour on whether to visit Jack or not.
She had spent most of her day by Will's side and he had kept his nagging questions out of his mouth as she had requested. Jack had mostly kept to himself stealing a glance now and then. She was unable to ignore the flirty looks he had been giving her. She smiled to herself as she pictured his face. But then there was Will's and she remembered her decision to make.
Will had gone to bed long ago and would probably already be asleep. On the other hand, Jack had been in his cabin for quite some time now too. Guilt, passion, love, and lust all plaguing her mind at once. She finally stood having made her decision and walked toward the cabins tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Reaching the door, she opened it, immediately spotting the man lying awake on the bed. Waiting for her.
