Chapter 4

Damn she's beautiful! thought Jack as he finished with her dress and moved on to her corset strings. But if I touch her I'm dead.

Suddenly he was sparked by some realizations. Isabella had no weapons. He had his own effects in their usual spot (hung in his closet) where she couldn't reach them.

Jack grinned, and froze his hands on the laces. Isabella noticed immediately, and she didn't take it as a good sign.

"Jack?" she cautisly whispered, "What is it?" He coyly leaned down to breath in her ear. He smirked as goose bumps rose on her neck.

"Oh nothing of much consequence." he breathlessly whispered back.

Jack glanced at Isabella's face, her eyes had closed. So he took this time to admire her since she was no longer hidden beneath her dark mask. It was completely angelic. And her lips were so kissable . . .

"Jack?" she said, breaking him from his musings. Her gentle eyes opened again to stare into his. "Hurry up." she said, returning to her normal tone.

Jack was barely fazed though. Her merely stated, "What ever you say darl'n," and moved back a bit as if to go back to his previous work. But instead he leaned back in and ran his tongue along the rim of her ear. A load moan escaped her lips.

"Jack what are you doing?" asked Isabella nervously. Jack stopped licked her ear.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" Isabella immediately grabbed Jacks shirt and pushed him outside. Then slammed the door in his face. She had just gotten her corset and chemise off when Jack started banging on the door.

"Oi, Isabella open up!" came his muffled voice.

"No!" she yelled back as she slipped on the brown breeches.

"Isabella open this door NOW!"

"Oh hush up I'll be out in a minute!" She pulled on the white shirt, which went off the shoulders then grabbed the brown corset. As she tied the strings in the front she noticed it pushed up her breast a bit more than she would have liked. But of course it was Jack who gave it to her.

"Isabella!" yelled Jack once again. She rolled her eyes and opened the door for him. He walked right in and locked the door. She sat down on his bed as he walked to stand in front of her. There was a hint of anger on his face.

"Why did you shove me out?" he questioned.

"I had to change, so I decided that instead of dealing with you in the room I'd just kicked you out."

The anger on Jacks face increased. He leaned in closely to Isabella's face until they could feel each others breath and see only each others eyes.

"Well seeing as I amt the captain of this ship you will respect me. And fallow my orders." Now Isabella started to get mad.

"May I remind you that I am also a captain, there for you should be just as respectful with me." Jack came even closer to her, right up until their noses touched.

"I'll have to work on that then." Isabella's heart sped up as he slowly began to close his eyes, his hand softly caressing her cheek.

He barely even got touched his lips to hers as she pulled away and ran to the door as if the devil himself was chasing her. But not before a very confused Jack beat her to it just as she got it unlocked. She didn't dare look him in the eye.

"Move Jack." she demanded.

"No, not until you tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing. Just let me go."

"Isabella I am not letting you out of this room until you tell me why you just ran when we got a bit . . .friendlier." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Jack please move or I'll be forced to make you move." Jack still didn't budge. He just kept his chocolate eyes on her. She sighed.

"Alright then don't say I didn't warn you.." and with that she delivered a mighty punch to his stomach. As he doubled over in pain Isabella ran out on deck.

Just as she was about to go below Jack came storming out of his cabin, clutching his stomach. He grabbed her arm and forced her to look at him.

"What the bloody hell is wrong with you?!" he yelled, catching the whole crew's attention.

"Me?" she retorted, "What about you? What gave you the impression that you could kiss me when you feel like it?"

"Oh as if you didn't want me to."

"I didn't!"

"Then why'd you kiss me back?"

"Because I . . . oh . . . I don't know!"

"I think I do. You darl'n, are scared." Isabella was dumfounded. Shock showed clearly on her face. But somewhere in the depths of her surprise was a hint of fear that Jack was talking about.

"What?"

"You heard me. You're scared. Scared of falling for me and me falling for yo-" The crew sucked in their breath as Isabella's hand connected with their captains cheek. She panted heavily as she tried to hold back tears,

"I'll never fall in love with you." she half whispered before pulling free of Jack's grasp. Taking one last look at him she ran down to the galley. The crew averted their eyes from her retreating form to Jack. He had a look of shock on his face but sadness in his eyes. Holding his now stinging cheek, he slowly walked back to his cabin.

"What are you dogs star'n at? Get back te work the lot a ye!" ordered Gibbs. He sighed deeply then went after his niece.

OMFG I am soooooo sorry this took so long to update! But I had the worst writers block, as well as a trillion ideas for stories and such. I will be posting a new story soon. I think Jack was slightly OOC in this chapter and they hit it off pretty fast but oh well. R&R!!!!
