"Not All Treasure is Silver and Gold"
Chapter 11
"What is it, Danielle?" Concern washed over his face. "You can tell me."
She turned away from him. This was too much.
"That man…"
"Which man?" Jack asked.
"That…one," she pointed outside the cabin.
"What about the slimy bastard?"
"Once, and only once, a very long time ago…I…and he…"
"Spit it out, Danielle!" He was getting frustrated with her.
"My first week in Tortuga, he offered me a lot of money to sleep with him. I didn't know what else there was for me to do…"
"But why?"
"Jack, I had no money, no food, no place to stay. I was recently widowed…"
"Enough," he said, his hand going up to signal her silence. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I knew you'd be angry. That man was right. I am a…"
"No, you're not. We all do what we have to do sometimes in life. Do not be ashamed."
"Jack, I am so sorry," she sobbed.
"Danielle, I love you, no matter what you've done. I do love you."
She tried to smile.
"Besides, I knew I was marrying a pirate. And any man would be stupid to not want to sleep with you."
"But Jack…"
"Do you remember that first night we met?"
"You passed out in my lap after spending the evening trying to get your hand up my skirt."
"The first time you smacked my hand away…I knew you and I would be good together."
"But I didn't agree to sleep with you for weeks."
"It was all part of my plan."
"Jack…" she purred. Her hands found his buttons on his shirt and pushed it open.
"Dani…I don't think…"
"I know. But it doesn't bother me."
She pushed him back on the bed. Her body straddled his body as his head hit the soft bed.
Jack's objections were silenced as the rest of their clothes came off and their hips began to grind.
He woke up in the evening, Dani still wrapped around him Jack didn't care if this is how he would spend the rest of his life. But once again, his happiness was interrupted by a knock on his door.
He made sure Dani was covered before he called, "come in."
Gibbs walked in and almost blushed at the sight of the captain and his wife in bed.
"Cap'n, the men were wonderin' if we could go to Tortuga to stock the ship?"
Jack was silent with contemplation. "Yes," he finally answered, "set course for Tortuga. Then we head to Port Royal once again."
"Thank you, Cap'n."
Mr. Gibbs exited the room and Dani started to stir. She sat up and looked at Jack who was smiling with his eyes closed.
"Why are you smiling?" Dani asked him. She stood from the bed and stretched. She was completely naked and searching for something to wear.
Jack opened his eyes to watch her. He liked her naked. She had the slight curve on her stomach where the weight had started to accumulate. His child was growing inside her. He didn't care one damn bit about her past. That's exactly what it was: the past.
He would take them back to Port Royal for a while. Maybe Elizabeth would be over her issues now that they would be back to visit.
A/N: I know, I know. Short. I hope you don't hate me. And I hope the cliffhanger wasn't too disappointing. Please review and let me know what you all thought.
