Making his way back to the cabin Jack found Elizabeth asleep on the bed the past week had been hard on her so instead of waking her like he would have with any other woman he covered her with his jacket and sat beside her stroking her hair just watching her sleep.
"Lizabeth what have you done to me?"
When she woke around noon Jack was still there laying on his side still watching her sleep.
"How long have you been here?"
"About four hours."
"Before you left you said you wanted to do something what was that?"
Gently sitting both of them up, he held her face in his hands and pressed his lips to hers, but instead of forcing ahead he allowed her to take control as the kiss deepened he laid her down on her back and leaned over her. As she began to slide off his vest he stopped her, "Not yet Lizzie I want to wait, this is not a good time, it needs to be special, but I would like to continue with our previous activity." After that he went back to work on her mouth and began working on her neck, once both of them could no longer hold the heads up he laid down on his back and she curled up next to him resting her head on his chest.
"Jack, thanks."
"For what love?"
"For being a good man."
Then a knock came at the door and Gibbs spoke, "Jack we have reached land the men decided we should just camp on the beach."
"Ready to spend a little time with your favorite Captain alone on the far side of the beach. Be just like the last time without the burning of the rum and the leading on me."
"Sounds like fun, but first I want to know what it tastes like."
Wrapping his arms around her he pressed his lips to hers and gave her the most tender kiss he had ever given.
"Speaking of rum I could use some."
