Hi, Thanks for taking the time to read my story. I hope you are enjoying it. Please feel free to leave some feedback if you wish. A warning for this chapter as it may be distressing to some readers. I do not mean to cause any offence to anyone.

The crew member I had previously seen looking at me earlier was standing in front of the door of the cabin. Looking at me with intense fearsome eyes. I knew that look I had seen it once before in my life and it terrified me.

'Ello poppet'. He moved closer to the bed towards me I shuffled back. My body hitting the headboard of the band. I was shaking with fear. I didn't know what to do. Why did I have to go off alone. Jack had told me I had to stay close, why I had I let some stupid infatuation with him get the better off me. What's worse is he probably hasn't even realised I have gone. He was to busy with those other girls to even notice.

'You have been teasing us all day poppet, in that tight bodice. I am here to show you what a good time you can have.' He moved even closer, I jumped off the bed and made to run around him towards the door. I wasn't quicker enough he grabbed me round the waste, I struggled so hard. It can't be happening again I thought to myself.

'Oh I love it when you struggle, such a tease. Your getting me so hard poppet. I'm going to give you a good seeing to, you will be begging me for more.' I screamed as he threw me on the bed. I tried to run again, however he manage to to stop me. Rolling me back over onto my back. He straddled me, I pushed hard against his chest. It was no use he was too heavy. He slapped me across the cheek, the sting was fierce I felt a sharp blade cut into my neck. 'Do that again and I'll end you right here.' He threatened.

I looked him straight in the eyes, he was serious. Tears streamed down my face. I wasn't getting away this time. He slit the front of my corset and ripped it open. Leaving me exposed. He grabbed my tits hard. I cried in pain.

'No use crying poppet, no one can hear you.' He laughed into my ear. He began to pull down my trousers and pants. I struggled again. He forced my legs apart and grabbed onto my neck. I could hardly catch any breath. With one hand he undid his trousers and pulled out his cock. Oh god please I prayed not like this, my first time with a guy should not be like this. I closed my eyes waiting for the pain I knew that would come.

I felt the weight lift from me, I heard the sound of punches being thrown. When I opened my eyes no one was above me. I looked to my left and saw Jack beating the man to a pulp. Tears streamed down my face. He has saved me again. Gibbs approach me with a blanket to cover my modesty. He wrapped it around me and ushered me towards the door. My legs ached from the struggle I had put up. I looked over to Jack who had now beating the man so hard his face was dripping with blood. Jack pulled out a pistol and aimed it towards the man.

'No.' I screamed as I ran towards them both I grabbed onto Jacks arms and looked at him. ' Please don't.'

'See, Captain she wants me.' The man teased further. I didn't look at him I kept my focus on Jack. Who had yet to look at me.

'Please, don't Jack. For me.' I pleaded.

'He's hurt you.' Jack said still not looking at me.

I took his face in my hand and turned his head to look at me. 'Please.' I begged once more.

Jack lowered his pistol. He then kicked the man in the ribs.

'Gibbs?' Jack looked back at me.

'Yes Captain?' Gibbs came towards us.

'Throe, this sorry excuse for a man off my ship.'

'Aye Captain.' Gibbs and another crew member grabbed hold of the man and roughly pulled him up. They began to drag him out of the cabin. The man looked over his shoulder at me.

'I get you one day poppet.' He laughed, as they dragged him out of the cabin.

The cabin became so quiet. Jack was still looking at me. I became slightly embarrassed. I dropped my gaze and wrapped the blanket around me tighter. I moved to the edge of the bed and sat down. I thought back to the time James had attacked me. I had told him I wasn't ready for sex. He didn't listen. I managed to escape that time. I felt incredibly lucky to have had to similar encounters and escape with just bruisers. Other women were not so lucky.

'I told you to stay close to Gibbs or myself.' Jack scolded me. He hadn't turned round yet.

'I'm sorry.'

'Your sorry,' He turned round to face me, he was so angry. Was he suggesting this was my fault?

'Are you saying this is my fault?' I asked.

'You could have been...'

'Don't you think I know that Jack, I was there.' I shouted at him and stormed up to him. 'Don't you dare even suggest this was remotely my fault. I didn't ask for this.'

'Why didn't you come ask me to bring you back if you wanted to leave?' He asked.

'You were far to busy with those whores to even notice me.' I turned around pulled on my pants and shirt and stormed off.

I walked to the far side of the ship and looked out to see. Jack was such an asshole, how dare he take me out, spend the evening with all the other whores and then blame me for what had happened.

I sighed.

'Katherine, would you like some tea?' Brice startled me, I spun around he offered me a cup of hot tea.

'Thank you' I smiled at him.

'Are you okay miss?'

'Yeah, I'm not too hurt just a bruised face, I'll live.' He moved to lean against the railing next to me.

'The Captain threw a fit when you left the tavern, I have never seen him so worried. He ran so fast to get back here non of us could keep up. I have never seen him do that for anyone. He must really care about you.'

' He came back for me?' I asked.

'Yeah, we only just got another round in when he asked where you were. I told him you had left. He left his drink and ran.' Jack had left the pub for me, I thought maybe he had returned because he wanted to or he had finished with those whores, but he left them for me, I smiled slightly. 'You should get some ice on your face miss, take the swelling down.'

'I will, thanks, excuse me.' I smiled at Brice and left him to return back to the cabin.
