Another chapter! Really, I hope you enjoy. This one is short for a reason. :)
When we reached the Siren, we were surprised at how silent she was.
"Where is everyone?"
Arthur shrugged and continued up the gangplank.
"Arthur! We cannot just leave them to their own devices!"
He stopped and turned to me. "Why not?"
"Something bad could have happened," I said quietly.
He chuckled. "They can handle themselves."
"But-"
"You are worried about Alfred."
I nodded.
"The crew does this all the time. They can handle themselves, and they all watch each others backs. Meanwhile," he smiled, and I shivered at his smile. It was no longer loving. It was hungry. I took a step back, and almost stumbled down the stairs.
He grabbed my wrist and smirked. "Scared, love? Have you forgotten I am also a pirate?"
I did not answer. To tell the truth, I had forgotten. I had become so comfortable with him that I had forgotten that he had an entirely different side to him. A dark side that was to be feared, and avoided at all costs. He pulled me into him and captured my lips in a kiss. I tried to escape, but his arms were like iron bands and the kiss was hungry and fiery. I could not fight the feeling that it created and soon returned the kiss.
My hands tangled in his blonde locks and pushed back with everything I had. I felt him smirk as he pulled me even closer and bit my lip. I kept my mouth firmly shut and I felt his grip tighten in frustration. He grabbed the back of my neck and squeezed, none to gently, but I refused to comply. He grinned, pulled away, and said, "Playing hard to get is going to get you punished, poppet."
I smirked. "I dare you to try."
He smiled darkly and said, "You are playing with fire, love."
"So are you."
He chuckled and pulled me closer, but instead of kissing my lips, he bit the shell of my ear, none to gently. I winced and shivered in the same motion. He blew a small stream of air into my ear, earning another shiver, then said, "You should just let me have my way with you, Amelia."
I shivered at the way he said my name, then gasped when he bit my collar bone. He gave me no time to recover and moved to my lips, plunging his tongue into my open mouth. I fought back with my tongue and pushed him back, following him into his mouth. I explored a bit, before he regained control and reconquered my mouth.
I pulled away, gasping. "Arthur, stop, if Alfred sees this, he will not be pleased."
He placed a kiss on my collar bone. "He will be too drunk to care."
I shivered. "You do not know him when he is drunk."
"I am sure I have seen him much more drunk than you have, love," Arthur said, continuing to place kisses along my collar bone.
"Not true," I gasped as he found a sensitive spot. He began sucking, making me moan. "You have no idea of what he is capable of, especially when it comes to me."
He pulled away and looked into my eyes, green eyes intense. Then, his eyes softened and he stepped away. "You are scared."
I started.
"I am sorry, I should have realized that I was moving too fast. You bring up Alfred when you get scared. He is an excuse for you."
He released me and turned away. I grabbed his wrist and kissed him. He kissed back, but I pulled away. "I love you, Arthur, but I am not quite ready for this step."
He nodded. "I understand." He ran a hand down my cheek and smiled. "Get some sleep, love. I will see you in the morning." He placed a gentle kiss on my lips, then let me go.
Arthur is so sexy. Really, he is. And, sometimes, Pirate!Iggy can get super scary, but he's still a sweetheart. Hope you enjoyed the sexy time with Arthur. And, this is as bad as it gets. I will never write anything worse than this. So, deal with it.
Please review.
And, for those who care, you have probably one chapter left of happiness. So, enjoy.
