Just FYI this chapter will have some more intimate scenes…I won't go too far though because I don't want to offend any readers, but still just a word of caution if you don't like it don't read it!

Promises

Sasha walked quietly down the hall, tip-toeing so as not to wake the other deckhands as she slid into one of the staterooms.

"Dave," she hissed.

Suddenly a hand clamped tightly over her mouth. Sasha's eyes grew wide with fear but she relaxed a moment later when she heard a familiar voice whispering in her ear.

"Shh," said Dave as he glanced at the sleeping forms of Josh and Murray, "Come on."

Sasha felt her cheeks flush as Dave grabbed her hand and led her into the galley.

"You told me to come get you when everyone went to sleep," explained Sasha as Dave closed the door behind them.

"Yeah…I know," replied Dave with a smirk.

"So…what did you need?" Sasha asked, glancing away nervously.

Dave walked over and pulled her chin up so she would look him in the eyes.

"Well, I wanted to talk about earlier…when we were having a little conversation before we were rudely interrupted by those two psychotic brothers."

Sasha laughed at that, "Oh yeah…that," she replied as she looked away again.

"Hey now, none of that," growled Dave as he lifted her chin again, "I want you to look at me when I talk to you."

Sasha shivered slightly at the almost animal-like look in Dave's eyes. She nodded and looked up at him obediently. Dave felt his knees grow weak as he stared down at her.

"So I know that we don't know each other that well, but I do know one thing Sasha," he said quietly, "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. And it's been awhile since I've felt this way about anyone so I know there's something special about you. I can see it."

Sasha was trying to force herself not to tremble under his intense blue gaze and was failing miserably.

"R…really?" she stammered breathlessly.

Dave smiled, "Yeah…really."

"Oh…well, Dave I must say that I find you extremely attractive," replied Sasha, feeling her face flush as she told him how she felt, "And it's been a long time for me too. I do a real good job at picking the wrong guys if you know what I mean."

Dave smiled at her as he ran his fingers across her cheek, "Yeah…I do. And I won't be one of those guys I promise."

Sasha beamed at that and nodded as she smiled up at Dave. Without another moment's hesitation Dave leaned in and kissed her. Sasha felt as if an electric current was passing through her body as Dave's hands snaked around her and slowly made their way down her body. She gasped as he picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her over to the galley table. He gently laid her down and followed her, moving over top of her constantly as he deepened their kiss. Sasha was shocked how his hands seemed to be everywhere at once and as they caressed her most sensitive areas she found it harder and harder to maintain control of the situation. She didn't even realize that she had lost her shirt and her sweats until her back touched the table and a shock of cold jolted her. Dave smiled at her and gave her a wink before he finished what he had started…

Meanwhile, over on the Time Bandit, Andy was starting to step it up on his flirting techniques with the stubborn and headstrong Maggie. He had gone below to get a hat that he had bought with his brother as a sort of joke back on the shore.

The second he re-entered the wheelhouse, Maggie was doubled over with laughter. Andy started doing the crab dance while wearing his rather eccentric crab hat. The crab's stuffed legs bounced on his head comically and Maggie laughed so hard she started crying.

Andy couldn't help it and broke down and started laughing with her. After they managed to compose themselves Andy sauntered over to where Maggie was settled in the co-captain's chair. Maggie giggled as he raised an eyebrow suggestively and slid up to her. But the second he got close to her face and was about to kiss her, she pulled away quickly.

"Oh, Maggie I'm sorry, I don't know what I was…"

"No, no Andy it's not you," murmured Maggie miserably as she looked away, "Trust me…its not you."

Andy frowned and gave her a confused look, "Well…what is it then?"

Maggie glanced at him and gave him what Andy was convinced was the most heart-breaking, sad look he had ever seen in his life.

"I…I was abused by my ex-boyfriend," she whispered as she looked away quickly, "And…I just kind of panic whenever I get close to someone. I'm so sorry, Andy…I really am."

"Don't apologize for that!" exclaimed Andy as he brushed a stray strand of dark hair behind her ear, "Don't you dare apologize to me for that. I'm so sorry hunny. That shouldn't have happened to someone as beautiful as you. That's why you're so distant and stubborn huh?"

Maggie smirked slightly and nodded, "Yeah…I guess so."

"Well you wanna know something?" asked Andy as he looked her in the eyes, "I'm not going to give up on you. I'll take it slow…as slow as it takes. I really like you, Maggie and I want to prove to you that not all guys are like your ex. I promise I'll do whatever it takes to win you over."

Maggie's eyes grew watery as she gazed back at Andy. After a few moments she nodded, "Okay…I can't promise it'll be easy and I don't blame you if you want to give up…"

"Oh trust me sweetheart," interrupted Andy, "I never give up…"

The crew of the Wizard gathered in the galley for midnight meal in-between strings. They were all dead tired and starting to grow a bit cranky as time went on.

Crosby and Jenny were busy filling plates with food and giving each other flirtatious glances the entire time. The rest of the crew was not oblivious to this; even though they were dead tired they still couldn't help but notice the looks and the light touches that were exchanged between the two. The snickered and nudged each other as Crosby gave Jenny a wink and she blushed at the sight.

Crosby glanced over and saw the crew looking at them. He scowled at them and rolled his eyes. After he and Jenny finished serving the food, Crosby nudged Jenny and motioned for her to follow him. Jenny nodded and grabbed their plates while Crosby grabbed their drinks and they left the galley. They went into Jenny's private stateroom and settled down on the floor to eat.

"So…why aren't we eating with the crew?" she asked innocently as they ate.

"Um, well they were just getting on my nerves that's all," replied Crosby without looking up at her.

Jenny smiled to herself, "You mean that they were picking on us for flirting with each other?" she asked rather forwardly.

Crosby felt his face turn red and nodded sheepishly, "Yeah…yeah I guess so."

Jenny laughed as she leaned forward and brushed a small piece of macaroni off of his scruff.

"Well, we could always just tell them that we are interested in each other and that we're taking it slow," she offered.

Crosby's eyes grew wide with astonishment, "Wait…are you saying that you want to, well…you know…"

"Date?" finished Jenny with a smirk of amusement.

"Um, yeah…do you want to date?"

Jenny nodded, "Yes, yes I do Crosby LeVeen. I think we'd make a good couple. You're a kind-hearted man who has the cutest boyish moments and desperately needs a woman in his life to keep him in check…and clean apparently," she said as she brushed another piece of macaroni off of his shirt.

Crosby smirked and glanced away sheepishly while Jenny cleaned up his shirt, "Yeah I guess you're right…I do need you don't I?"

Jenny paused for a second and looked up at him, her eyes bright with happiness at what he had just said. Crosby leaned forward and kissed her lightly, pulling away as he gave her a scrutinizing look, trying to figure out if what he had just done was okay. Jenny smiled slightly and leaned in to kiss him back. Crosby felt as if time stopped as he kissed this beautiful woman. It couldn't get any better than this…

Sig was going insane. Making out with Amber in his chair was nice but he was starting to crave more and by the way she was moving he figured she was too. He grabbed her legs and guided them around his waist. Amber quickly realized what he wanted and she gripped him tightly around the waist with her legs. Sig stood up and carried her, slowly making his way down the stairs. His lips never left hers as he fumbled for the doorknob on his stateroom door.

The second they were inside, Sig closed the door behind them and locked it. He carried her over to his bed and laid her down gently. As he climbed on top of her, Amber felt herself beginning to get excited. Here she was about to make love with the sexiest man she had ever met in her entire life. As Sig started taking off his clothes and hers, she knew that she had died and gone to heaven. His hands trailed down her body, causing her to squirm and moan slightly at the touch.

Outside in the hall, Edgar yawned and stretched as he made his way down the hall to the galley for a quick bite to eat. He scratched his head and glanced around sleepily as he stumbled along down the hall. Suddenly he heard voices. It sounded like moaning. He looked around wildly wondering if someone was hurt, then he realized where the noises were coming from.

"Oh dear Lord," he muttered under his breath as he shook his head, "Can't they at least be quiet? Sheesh!"

Although deep down Edgar was happy for his older brother. It had been awhile since Sig's wife had left him. She had had enough with the fishing and the months that he had to be away from her and their kids so she called it quits. Since that day Sig hadn't really been the same…and now he had finally found someone who made him happy. In Edgar's mind this was way overdue. He smirked to himself as he took a swig of coffee.

"Still…they could at least tone it down a bit…"
