Disclaimer: I do not in any Way, Shape, or Form own Pirates of the Caribbean. If I did, I would have a Jack Sparrow at my side, and I wouldn't at all complain :)

Ch. 18

"If anything happens to me, Elizabeth Swann shall take my place as King of the Pirates." I stated. Most of looked taken back, but I held firm in what I said, and the Lords of the Sea accepted the fact, thankfully.

While everyone agreed, they all started to move out to prepare. I turned around and sat on the table, closing my eyes and letting out a deep sigh. I could hear the sound of Jack walking towards his father, asking him something about the key to it all is surviving. When I opened my eyes I watched Teague put down his guitar.

"It's not about living forever Jackie. The trick is living with yourself forever." He said. I couldn't but smile at that softly, not wanting to barge into their time, so I just sat back looking at the Court building. It was interesting seeing how they built it way back then. My gaze traveled from the ceiling down to the walls where I looked over what was hanging on them and over to Jack. I tilted my head a bit and just looked at him, letting myself get lost in my thoughts.

My mind wondered back to when I first met Jack Sparrow back at Port Royal, when I almost cut his nose off when I threw my dagger at him so he couldn't do anything to Willy. Then when Will and I helped Jack escape prison, and helped him steal a ship. I had found it to be so much fun, that I had wanted to experience more of it. Soon we came to Tortuga, where we met up with Gibbs and created a crew to get back to the Pearl and to save Elizabeth, well, that was Will's goal anyway, my own was to sail, to finally find a place where I could feel free. 'I don't regret any of these things that I've done.' I thought and closed my eyes once more.

"Gabby." I heard Jack's voice say my name after a few minutes after I closed my eyes. I lazily opened them again and tilted my head. "Yea Jack?" I asked, finally noticing Teague and Jack were both standing right in front of me. I felt like I could have jumped back in surprise, but I couldn't thanks to the table. Before I could say anything Teague looked me over, with a calculating look on his face. "So, there is finally someone who can catch your eye without being a whore eh Jackie?" he said good naturedly. I chuckled softly at Jack, who started to pout at the comment. "That's not true... much..." Jack said and scratched his cheek a bit.

Teague shook his head at his son and turned back to me. "You are different than what I first thought Captain Turner." He said. I shook my head a bit with a light smile. "I seem to get that a lot, and please, call me Gabby, I feel like I'm my brother when called Captain Turner." I said with a small laugh. Teague nodded to me and turned to Jack. He walked over to him and whispered something to him before heading to the back of the room where he came from before.

I tilted my head once more and looked at Jack who was looking at me oddly again. I pushed myself away from the table and walked over to him. When I was about a foot away I raised my hand up in front of his face and snapped my fingers a few times. "Jack?" I asked and waved my hand in front of his face a bit. He suddenly took my hand in his, threading our fingers together and moved our hands off to the side. "So how does it feel to be King of the Pirates?" he asked in a low husky voice. I chuckled softly, giving him a half smile. "Very odd, but I feel accomplished." I teased him softly. He smirked at me and ran his knuckles down the side of my face softly and slowly, starting at my temple and going down to my jaw, then back up again. My eyes fluttered shut and leaned my head against his hand a bit, it felt nice and it was soothing the mild migraine that I had gathered during the meeting we just had.

Jack suddenly pulled me closer to him, wrapping the arm that use to be holding my hand around my waist so I pressed up against him. I let out a sigh, and just placed my head on chest. I placed my arm on his shoulder and closed my eyes a bit, willing myself to relax. I don't know if I told you this before, but I always find it relaxing the way Jack smells. It was calming to me, and it probably always will be, even when I get irritated at him. I felt Jack wrap his other arm around me and rest his chin on the top of my head, rocking us together slowly. I looked up at Jack causing him to look down at me when I moved my head. He cocked his head to the side, silently asking me what. I smiled softly and leaned up pressing my lips against his own. Before he had a change to kiss me back I pulled back and tiled my head to the side.

Jacked looked at me none at all amused and tightened his grip around me, keeping me where I was. He leaned closer to me and bent his head down near my ear. "Now that wasn't very nice luv." He whispered, blowing lightly in my ear. "I'm a pirate, I'm not suppose ta be nice." I whispered back, running my hand down his arm to his hand that was on my waist. Before anything could be done on my part, Jack pulled me closer, tightening his grip around me and kissed me deeply. Once again my body reacted before my brain did, even though it did progress a lot faster than it did before when Jack did this. My hands ran up his arms and settled onto his shoulders, gripping them lightly, but firmly.

Now, let me tell you something, I've came to accepting that I liked Jack, a lot, and I've also come to terms that, I would probably let him go as far as he wanted to go with me and I wouldn't be able to stop him, even if I wanted to. Well, maybe I would be able to, it would just depend if I wanted to...

The kiss slowly deepened itself and I was backed into the table, Jacks hands still on my waist and one on my hip, gripping them firmly, but not painfully. My hands were on his shoulders holding onto them firmly, but gently at the same time. I felt something moist run over my lips and started probing against my teeth. I opened my mouth curiously and felt the moist muscle slip through the crack that my mouth had made. If I had thought that just kissing Jack simply made my mind go blank, then this made my blank mind go to mush. His tongue traveled around my mouth, getting into every nook and cranny that he could find, and all the while pushing himself closer to me, or rather he was pulling me closer to him. I gained some courage and slipped my tongue into his mouth. A rush of rum fill my taste buds and I felt myself moving closer to Jack to taste more. My hands subconsciously moved from his shoulders and to his chest, lightly tracing the bare skin that was shown from his un-done shirt. His muscles twitched under my fingers, causing heat to rise to my cheeks. I felt his thumbs start to move around in circles against my hip, past the split of my dress, going deep into my skin before moving his hands over to back.

A small moan of pleasure escaped my lips when Jack decided to explore the rest of my skin. His lips traveled down my jaw onto my neck where he folded my collar down a bit so he could gain more access. I couldn't help but help him in his quest for more and tilted my head to the side, feeling my skin start to spark under his touch. My eyes fluttered shut once more and a low moan escaped from my lips when his lips passed over a certain spot on my neck. He paused a bit but then went back to kissing the spot, before moving onto the rest of my neck.

I don't know how long we stayed like that, but we only really moved when Teague cleared his throat, he was leaning against the same wall he did before when Barbossa called for him. "You two still here? Go get a room and rest." He said before leaving again.

"Well then luv, shall we go find ourselves a room fer the night?" he asked with a suggestive smirk on his face. I couldn't help but smile though, and shook my head. "Of course not Jack, the fun will have to wait until after the war is over." I said and tapped his chin innocently with one of my fingers before slipping out of his arms. Jack scowled a bit and caught up to me while I made my way out of the room. "Jus' one night luv." He pouted from beside me. "One night? That just might turn into a sweet nothin' Jack." I said, doing my best to keep a straight face.

We rounded one of the corners to where I knew the lodging was, knowing that the other captains and their crews would be occupying the rooms. I paused in my walking, trying to figure out a place to rest for the night, even thought I didn't know how much rest I would actual get thanks to Jack. I turned to him slightly and tilted my head to the side. "Do you know anywhere else with rooms?" I asked curiously. Jack just grinned at me and took my hand. "Luv, I am Captain Jack Sparrow, of course I know of other rooms we can occupy." He said and pulled me in the direction he wanted to go in. I chuckled a bit and couldn't help but roll my eyes a bit. "You remember what I said before Jack? Not until I get a ring." I stated causing Jack to stop suddenly and turn to me. "What do you take me for luv?" he asked. "After all I am a Captain, and as a Captain, I can perform matrimony easily." He said tapping my forehead lightly.

I chuckled lightly giving him a lop sided smirk. "I haven't forgotten." I said with shake of my hand. Jack then took my hand and slipped something onto my ring finger. "But you should also know, that I don' care for those boring things, and that my woman shouldn't need something like that ta know how I feel about 'er." He whispered to me and kissed my brow before taking my hand again, the one he placed the ring on, not giving me a chance to see it. I couldn't help but blush at what he had said. I smiled softly at him, I realized then that I never had to tell Jack how I felt, he already knew, just like I always knew what he felt for me without him telling me so. That night, I knew I wouldn't regret anything that we did. As I let Jack lead me to our room, I knew that once this night was over, the war will begin, and that no one will know how it will end. But for tonight, it will be just about Jack and I.
