Sorry about the delay! I am trying to go to Peru this summer, and I needed to finish up my research for my study there. I hope you all like it. I feel it is not the best I have ever done, but here it is. Thank you for your likes and reviews and all that. love you all!

Belle slammed the door to her room and laid her head against the dark mahogany wood of the door. What was that moan?! She did NOT have feelings for that man. She must just be tired. Yeah, she must just be tired. She sighed deeply to herself in frustration. She flew her hands above her head and mumbled to herself about how tired she was.

"I just need to get some sleep." She said to herself as she slipped off the tight dress and threw it in the corner. It crumpled in a heap as she went to lay down in nothing but panties. She pulled the covers up over her body and curled up. She fell asleep almost instantly.


Hook went up to the deck almost in a daze. He thought back to her lips on his. He could still smell her on himself; he didn't want to ever stop smelling that smell. He looked out over the ocean. It was such a dark night that he couldn't tell where the ocean ended and the sky began. The little stars were reflecting off the water in such a way it made it look like the ship was in the sky instead of on the earth.

He wished she was up here with him, to see this beautiful sight. He knew people saw him as this dark pirate, but he does have a heart. He actually loved Mila when that monster took her away from him. Nothing can bring her back, he knew that, but Belle did help heal his broken heart a little. It was nice to smell a woman again, to feel the soft lips of a woman on his own rough and cracked ones. Belle would never replace Mila, but that didn't mean he couldn't have a little…fun….with her. Hook smirked to himself.

Hook decided to go lock her door before he went to bed, he knew she couldn't get off the ship; but he didn't want to take any chances. Hook walked down her hallway, pasted by a few of his crew who were going to get some ale, he was sure. He got to her mahogany door and stood outside it for a while. It wasn't special; it looked like every other door on the ship, but he just stopped and studied it for a while. All it would take was him to open the door and he could have his lips all over her porcelain skin. He stared at the shut door for a few more seconds then pushed it open. He did not enter; he just stood outside the door frame looking into the dark room.

After a few long seconds of decision-making Hook walked into the dark room and quietly shut the door behind him. He slowly and carefully walked towards the bed to where he could see the covers rise and fall with each breath she took.

He stood next to the bed she was laying in. Her back was completely uncovered, the perfect skin stretched across her toned back muscles. He couldn't help but touch her soft skin. His fingers, ever so lightly, touched the dip in her back where her spin lay under her skin. He traced it downwards to where the top of her panties peeked out from under the covers. He groaned a little to himself. She was so incredible tempting. His groan must have stirred her in her slumber for she mumbled in her sleep and turned over dragging the blankets with her, she was fully covered again and now facing him.

Hooks breathing stopped; he did not make a noise. He did not want to wake her up just yet. Her breathing returned to the deep breaths that indicated sleep. Her hair had fallen in her face and with every breath a strand would move.

He could take her right now, right here. No one would know; and even if they did nothing would come of it. He mentally debated with himself. His manhood said to go ahead, his heart said to walk away.

Hook sighed and walked away from her. Not yet, now is not the time.


Belle woke up with the sun shining in through the port-hole. She got up and wrapped the sheet around her slender nearly nude body. She walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was all over the place, and half of her face was red from lying on the pillow. Belle chuckled a little too herself. Most princesses woke up looking fresh and beautiful; she woke up looking more like a beast.

She jumped in the shower and threw the sheet out to the bedroom.

She let the water wash over her, breathing in the hot steam. Just when she was about to relax she heard a booming voice from above yell, "LAND HO!"

She knew they would be stopping for supplies soon; which means, she could get off this damn ship!

Belle quickly rinsed off and threw on some modest clothing. She ran up to the deck. Everyone was running around getting things together to dock the ship.

Belle walked up to the side of the ship and looked out at the large strip of land. They were getting so close she could see people walking around the dock and shore line. Everyone looked to be in a hurry to get to wherever they needed to be. She couldn't wait to hit land. She wanted to get off this cramped ship and see people other than pirates.

A hand snaked around her hips while a stubble ridden chin brushed against the shell of her ear. A chill ran down her spine.

"Excited pet?" Hook said as he smirked into her hair, smelling her sweet smell.

Belle nodded as she tried to keep the bile that was creeping up her throat from coming up completely. She hated when men called her pet. Gaston use to do that when they were engaged. It made her feel as if she was a piece of property instead of her own person. She hated feeling as if she belonged at the feet of a man.

"Well, I know you are, but you have to stay with me while we are here. There are a lot of low life pirates at this dock that would love to take you away from me."

Hook licked the outside of her ear nibbling on the shell of it. His hands were starting to find their way up her torso when she heard someone yell for Hook.

With a groan Hook parted himself from her, leaving her alone. She took a deep breath. She didn't want to be around him the whole time; she needed to get away from him. She would just have to sneak away.

A few minutes later they were completely docked and the pirates started to unload the ship. Belle looked around, no Hook insight. This was her chance to get away and explore without his watchful eye constantly on her. Hook came up behind her and grabbed her arm just as she was going to leave the ship without him.

"Where are you going?" Hook said angrily. "No bother. Let's go take a look around. I need to get off this ship."

Hook grabbed her arm roughly and led her down the ramp. People were everywhere. She could barely take a step without almost getting run over. Everything was just a blur of colors, smells, and sounds. So much was going on. People were yelling, laughing, stumbling, running, walking, selling, packing, scrambling around. She walked by as several men grabbed at her trying to sell her fish, jewelry, and dresses. Each time someone touched her Hook let out a low growl and the men instantly shrank back into their tents.

"Hook, I didn't expect to see you here?" a low voice spoke up from behind them.

Hook and Belle turned around to see who had spoken.

A tall dark man stood in front of them. He had a large dark beard that came down far below his chin. He had beads in his hair and a three corner hat on his head. He was dressed in typical elaborate pirate attire.

Hook and the man grabbed each other in a hearty embrace with a low chuckle. They started to talk and catch up. Belle stood awkwardly next to the two men.

"You're troubled deary," said a hushed voice. Belle looked around to see where the voice was coming from.

Belle looked around but did not see anyone. There were too many people to pinpoint where a small voice would have come from.

"Over here," said the small voice again.

Belle looked down a dark alley that was next to her. There was a small old woman with brightly colored clothing draped over her body. She smiled a toothless grin at Belle.

"Come with me," said the woman as she walked down the alley disappearing into the darkness.

Belle struggled for a second. She looked at Hook who had let go of her upper arm. Hook was completely engrossed in his conversation. Belle contemplated leaving. She didn't know this woman, but she didn't feel threatened by her.

With a flash of her skirts she was down the dark alley. Hook didn't even notice.


I am struggling on how dark to make Hook. I don't like to write too much smut, it isn't something I can come up with very well, but I can do a R rated version. It would be like HBO rated, if that makes sense. Let me know how dark you want Hook. I will try to oblige.

LOVE YOU ALL!
