A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviews, they brighten my day...so keep them up. Okay, this chapter is about James and Isabella's thoughts on how far they have come...and how much they love eachother...


Chapter 4: Depths of their Hearts

As dawn broke out over the horizon...James awoke to prepare for the dreadful day ahead. Isabella was still asleep after their restless night. After their love making, she still seemed angry and hurt. But James decided not to press the matter, it would be a waste of time, and it would not take them anywhere. Possibl, it would take them back to night of sweat and clawing backs and what will it prove...? That they crave eachother even more...

James sighed as he touched her soft sweaty back, how beautiful she looked sleeping. You fool, he began to tell himself in his thoughts. You want to leave this beautiful woman, to go chase after some bloody pirates who are not worth your life sparing. This is the woman you have loved for so long...after so long you still thrist and lust over her. And your children...your adoring daughter Robin, the true spirit of Isabella. The baby to come, another little child, a fruit of both yours and Isabella's love for eachother...how can you leave all of this? After pondering with his peace of mind, James stood and dressed for the day.

Before leaving James went over to Isabella's side. He admired her for a couple of minutes, he smirked to himself knowing he wiped her out completely. He leaned down, and brushed his lips over hers.

"I love you". he whispered and left...


Isabella awoke to the somewhat bright light that shown from her windows. She turned to see if James was laying beside her...he was not. Was last night a dream?

No it was not. She realized when the cold air made her shiver, she had no clothes on. God! He won me again! Isabella told herself in her thoughts. I gave in, but I could not deny him...like I said last night after he stopped kissing every inch of me briefly...I want him, I crave him. Not a single day goes by that I fear for his life. I cannot afford to lose the only man I have ever loved. I love him more than words can say...and yet I feel panic within the depths of my heart...
