I'm so happeeeee there have been more reviews lately. I was starting to wonder if people actually read this or they just refresh the pages (which explains my weird views rate -.-)

In Response to odetted99 in the reviews - she was singing Jolly Sailor Bold - mermaid song of ALL TIMES :)

And to my amiga sonia-46 - I'm glad you liked chapter 6. I was going to put the conversation about the legs in chapter 6 but it felt too long so I split it into two chapters and elaborated on that. :)

As usual, Happy reading. Eh.

p.s. It's a double upload today, too!


Hook avoided her for the next few days.

First getting aroused at the mouthing thing, now he was protecting her over that pain in the leg thing. What was wrong with him? He shook the image of Ariel's voluminous red hair, and her shiny gem like eyes. (And of course her erotic lips but he would never admit he thinks about those.)

He focused on the charts in his hand. The markings indicated that they would soon have to dock, to trade the jewels they have stolen from the villa for money that would buy them some supplies. They were running low on apples, especially if she kept eating that amount she was per day.

His mind drifted back to the day when he rescued (hardly rescue, he had been the one who pushed her into the situation) her from the man.

Her eyes didn't show fear or panic as he anticipated. It only showed determination and maybe a little… Hopelessness?

Hook was pretty sure he didn't exactly rescue her, but probably recused the man. God knows what she could do with those shark sharp teeth and sturdy claws.

The way her claws could sink into his back like cat scratching could sink into the skin… What's a pirate without a scar or two? Maybe he would enjoy it… The soft whimpering bites on his shoulder, and rough kisses planted at his chest. His hand would smooth her fire red hair, and his lips would peck her buttery skin. She would be silent the whole way, of course, but he would make sure she felt it all. The warm caress and pleasuring waves… His hands roaming around her thin fragile figure, he would make his moves soft and gentle…

Wait, what?

Just what on earth did he do? Did he just… Imagine a whole sex scene with her that would obviously never happen? And he even imagined her actions during their little get together. God, was he going crazy or was he simply turning into a complete pervert?

Focus, he tapped his hooked hand on the map next to the charts. They had sailed for another week or so along the coastline. The closest town that offered a good black market was only another week away. Hopefully she will last without eating apples and stick to other fruit for a few days.

Planning ahead is so tiring, Hook sighed. Usually this was not what he would be doing. It was usually Smee's job. As the most trusted crewmember of the ship, the planning and keeping the ship in order was his job – Hook as Captain just gave orders. But since Hook had assigned another job to him… Well, the Captain's job seemed more captain-y lately.

Hook decided he had done enough captain-y jobs for the day. He walked down the to where the kitchen was. It was already noon, and he still didn't eat breakfast yet. "John, fish pie as usual –" he started, then saw Ariel seated on the edge of the table, dangling her long marble sculpted legs – in a very seductive way.

Ariel showed him the note she had written days ago. Where were you?

"Uh, Captain stuff." Hook mumbled. He started to regret giving in to his laziness. Maybe he should have gone and completed the charts, as a good Captain would have done so.

Ariel sniffed. Liar. She knew he was hiding from her. She stuck out her tongue. It was childish, but she hadn't done it for a while already, and she missed being able to tease him. Are you going back to your "captain stuff" this afternoon? She questioned, tapping her pen on the stained notebook.

"Maybe." Hook looked away. Why was the fish pie taking so long? Maybe he should take the fish pie with him to the planning room.

Can I come?

"What?" Hook choked. "Why? It's really boring, and there's nothing to do there." He tried, in vain, to convince Ariel.

I'm curious to what a pirate does. She pouted. It's boring here. Mr. Smee doesn't let me go anywhere and you're not here so I have nothing to do. She batted her eyes. Hook still wouldn't compile. Ariel tried again, making sure he was facing her, Ariel parted her lips, and mouthed, please?

She knew. She definitely knew that it was his weakness. Hook gave in.

"Fine."

That's it. Hook declared to himself. He was officially crazy.
