Recap: Iris and Arthur are chased by guards in a town and after they split up Arthur runs to the docks and hides in abarrel which helps him lose them. He spots Iris's ship and go aboard and goes into her cabin. Iris comes back and Arthur hides in a closet. Iris falls asleep and Athur decides to leave but kisses her cheek and walks off before he is spotted by her.
Two weeks went by since the chase and Iris was on her ship looking out at the ocean. She had her arms folded across her chest. She was tired and wanted to find some treasure or rob some random person. "Captain, Kirkland and his guys are upon us," Vanessa her first mate said. "Are you joking with me?" Iris said to herself as she spotted Arhur's ship. Arthur's ship pulled up so close to Iris's ship that they couldn't fire the cannons at each other. "What do you need Arthur?" Iris asked him as he swung from a rope to her deck. "I need to talk with you alone," Arthur answered landing in front of Iris with a smile. "Fine we can talk in my cabin," Iris said with a soft smile. They walked to Iris's cabin. When they got in Arthur closed the door and pushed Iris against the walland held a knife to her neck. He knew she didn't have her weapons with her. "What the hell Arthur?" Iris said looking at him with a look of confusionon her face. Arthur smirked. He loved seeing Iris like this. "Don't worry my dear Iris I won't hurt you only if you are willing to comply," he said his eyes gazing up and down her body. "I'm willing to comply Arthur," Iris said a bit scared. She had never seen Arthur act like this before and she actually enjoyed seeing him like this. Arthur smirked and kissed Iris's lips. Iris got surprised by this sudden kiss but she relaxed and return the kiss. Arthur soon pulled away and pushed Iris onto her bed and pinned her there after he placed the knife on the desk. Iris just blushed her face was as red as her hair. Arthur smirked, he was enjoying seeing Iris so down on her defense. Although he was rather curious on why she wasn't fighting back. "How come you're not resisting?" he asked her. "I would defend my normally by using my weapons but seeing how I don't have a weapon and you do. It would seem hardly fair for me to resist," Iris answered looking up at Arthur. Arthur knew Iris had proven a point and placed the knife where he couldn't reached it and pinned Iris back down her bedagain. "Alright then Iris prove to me that you can fight back," he said. Iris smirked, "Okay Arthur." Arthur was pretty surprised to see himself on the floor and Iris standing above him with a satifised smile on her face. "You told me to fight back and I did," she said. Arthur smirked and got up and kissed her. Iris returned the kiss. Vanessa knocked on the door of the cabin. "Captain! Kirkland's pirates are attacking us. They think you have taken him prisoner," she said. Iris had pulled away. "Oh dammit. No I didn't," she said. Arthur wrapped an arm around her waist. "Why won't we clear this little problem?" he said to her. "Good idea," Iris said. They went out on to the deck and saw the two crews fighting each other. "Oye you idiots get back on my ship I'm okay," Arthur said to his crew. "Aye aye captain," Alfred his first mate said as he and the rest of Arthur's crew went back onto his ship. "You gits get back to work," Iris said to her crew. Her crew nodded and resumed their duties. "Now shall we continue our 'talk'?" Arthur asked her. "Yes we shall," Iris answered. They went back to Iris's cabin and when they got in Arthur's smile disappeared. "I had originallycame to say goodbye," he said. "Why do you say that Arthur?" Iris asked. Arthur picked up the knife from he placed and looked at it. Iris looked at the knife as well with a curious look on her face. Arthur soon lifted the knife in a way to kill himself. Iris's eyes widen in fear and she snatched the knife away from him causing to slice a hole in her shirt by mistake. Arthur took back the knife in which causeIris totackle him to the floor causing the knife to fall out of his hands. He went to reach for the knife when Iris pinned his wrists to the floor. She had tears in her eyes. "Don't do to yourself or me you idiot. I love you Arthur," she said. Arthur was surprised by what Iris had said. "Wha what?" he said. Iris got offof him and he sat up. "I said I love you. Even though we are rivals, I couldn't but to fall in love with you," she said looking away from Arthur. Arthur placed his had onher chin andturned her headso they were looking ateach other. "I love you my dear Iris," he said kissing her again but this time out of love. Iris returned the kiss. Arthur pulled away a few seconds later and smiled at her. Iris smiled back. She knew right then and there that she was glad they had met two years ago or otherwise she wouldn't had fallen for Arthur.
