I slept almost soundly through the night, only waking up only once around dawn. I opened my eyes… and found myself face to face with Jack. His face was so peaceful in sleep, like an innocent child. I sighed then finally noticed why I was so hot; his arms were around my waist, holding me close to him, and my hands were pressed firmly up against his muscular chest. How did I even end up in this position? Still…it's not the worst place for a girl to wake up in… Slowly, I extracted myself from his embrace and turned over, returning to sleep.

When I woke up later, he was gone. I glanced out the window. Judging by the amount of light there was, it was probably a little after noon. On a chair beside me there lay a dress. Where did he find a dress on a ship of men? I decided that I didn't to know. I rolled out of bed and picked up the dress, examining it. It was about ankle length and made of blood red material. Black velvet formed a corset over a white blouse. I slipped off my pjs and pulled on the dress. It felt a bit scratchy, probably from being around salt water. I should probably find some shoes or something… The thought of walking around a dirty ship without something on my feet made me slightly nauseous. I checked under the bed, and found many pairs of boot similar to the ones Jack wore. I found a pair that looked close to my size and pulled them on. Much better. Then I went out in search of Jack and breakfast. or lunch, I guess.

As soon as I left the safety of the captain's quarters, men's eyes were on me like moths to a flame. It was rather nerving. It's like they haven't seen a female in weeks…which they probably haven't. I felt a tiny bit afraid but then I remembered the red bracelet around my wrist, and how it had stopped the man I woke up yesterday. It must mean that I am associated with the Captain. I felt much better after realizing this fact, but I still kept to myself.

I wandered around the ship, trying to think of places Jack could be. Who would've thought it would be so hard to find one person in a small location in the middle of nowhere? I tried to think of places he could be. The wheel, most likely! I headed over to the wheel of the ship, where sure enough, I found Jack peering over some maps on a table. He heard my footsteps and without looking up, barked:

"I told you, Gibbs, I don't wish to be bothered!"

"Um, excuse me?" I managed to squeak out, startled by his command.

His head snapped up.

"Oh, good afternoon, luv. I thought you were Master Gibbs."

"Yeah, obviously. Whatcha workin' on?"

"Just working on our next movement. Don't worry about it…You look good enough to eat." He took his time to admire my outfit. He smiled when he saw my shoes.

"Those look a bit big on you, my dear…but you know what they say about men with big shoes…" He winked.

I blushed but giggled. My stomach rumbled.

"Um, Captain, do you have anything that I could eat? I'm famished!"

"Why yes, anything for the lovely lady!" He opened a box that was beside the table and brought out a bunch of bananas and a few apples.

"Thanks!" I said gratefully. I picked up a banana and unpeeled it. As I was eating, Jack kept looking up from his maps and giving me a funny look every now again. What's his problem?

I ate another banana and two apples while looking out at the mystifying water then tried to help Jack with his calculations for a while. I must have been a pain because he started to pack everything up and said:

"Why don't we go for a walk?" he said. I accepted and he took my hand as we walked down the stairs to the main deck. He showed me the different parts of his vessel, The Black Pearl. We passed a group of sailors taking a break with some bottles of rum who made kissy faces and sexual moans and grunts when they thought we couldn't hear them anymore. Jack spun on the spot and began to bark orders as they all scattered like roaches when the lights are turned on. He turned back to face me, grabbed my hand and led me back to his quaters. He closed the door behind him, locking it, as I sat on his desk. He stood in front of me.

"I think it's time we talked about what happened yesterday," he said sharply.

Two days ago or yesterday? "Do you mean yesterday or "yesterday" yesterday?" I asked.

"Yesterday yesterday." He responded.

"Okay" I really wanted to know what happened on this mysterious day.

He paced as he told the story.

"It all started when we returned to the ship 3 days ago. I was unconscious still; you managed to return me to the boat, at which point you were so exhausted that you also fell unconscious. I'm guessing it was a mixture of exhaustion and being away from your spring for so long. When I finally came too, 2 days ago, you were still out of it. I had the crew keep you downstairs, out of the sunlight. But you found your way out of the hold and came to my room. You said you wanted to see the man you saved, to see if he was as good inside as you thought he would be." I was stunned by this as I couldn't remember any of it happening. "Then you mentioned something about a place called Erzulie's Cove, that I must journey there if I wished…to be with you. Then… you kissed me." He looked slightly melancholy as he said this.

I sat there, unable to process all this new information. I remembered the sweet tingle of his kiss from yesterday.

"Then we went a bit farther…" I cut him off before he could continue.

"You mean we had sex!" I almost shouted.

"No," he said. "Well, it depends on your definition…"

"Am I still a virgin?" I asked, words not even being close to being able to describe how I felt right now.

"Yes."

"…Well, what did you do then?" I asked cautiously.

"It started like this." His arms were suddenly around my waist, pulling me off the desk and right up against his ripped physique. His hands ran through my hair then pushed up against the back of my skull, closing the distance between our lips. That universe-traversing feeling came back and my knees began to feel weak. A small moan escaped me lips. Without any warning, his hands moved from my head to my thighs and he picked me up. He walked over to the bed and lay down on top of me, his lips never leaving mine. All I could think was More… oh God please More! His lips left mine and traveled around my face, leaving light feathery kisses. He moved to my neck, planting warm kisses on every patch of skin he could find. His mouth traveled to my ear and he whispered: "Then moved here."

His hands found the strings to my corseted bodice and started loosening them. Then he slid the white blouse from my chest so that my upper half was exposed. His hands slid over the white skin of my breast in a way that I've never experienced before. Or have I? He teased the nipple of the right while cupping the left. "Mmmm" he purred seductively in my ear. His head moved to my chest and I felt his mouth on my right nipple, gently sucking and nibbling, while playing with the left. I moaned again. I could feel myself grow wet. He must have sensed my desire because he moved to suck on the left and slid his hand down the curves of my body, over my stomach and hips to reach my core. He moved the material of the dress out of the way and traced his fingers lightly up my thighs toward my womanhood. He delicately touched my entrance though my panties, teasing it. He brushed my clit and a shiver ran up my spine.

His mouth moved to me ear again: "So wet, my luv. Do you remember?" He lifted the material of my skirt to my waist and moved to meet my covered mound. Removing my panties, he tucked them into his pocket. "For safe keeping" he said, mischief dancing in his sultry brown eyes. That rascal! I was quickly torn from my thoughts when I felt his tongue on my entrance. I sucked in a breath. I felt two fingers where his tongue just was. They slowly moved inside me and came out just as slowly. I felt his tongue on my clit as his fingers began to fuck my entrance. I could feel my pulse soar as the pleasure started to build. His fingers moved faster and faster as his tongue swirled around and suckedS my sensitive clit. Faster and faster and faster and Ahhh oohmy god oh mygod JACK! I was pushed over the edge of ecstasy, gripping the sheets in my hands as if to anchor myself to this world. I felt myself come, followed by his tongue, his amazing tongue, lapping up all my juice. I lay breathing heavy on my bed, exhausted from all the pleasure.

Jack lay down next to me. I snuggled up to his chest and he pulled me close. He looked into my eyes then said:

"I think that's enough remembering for tonight. Let's get you to bed."

We got up and he pulled off my dress, placing it on the chair beside the bed. He crossed the room and opened a large trunk from which he pulled out a long white nightgown. He sighed dramatically as he handed it to me.

"Personally, I love what you have on right now but I think that you would be more comfortable in this."

I slipped on the nightgown and crawled into bed.

"You coming, Captain?" I asked.

"I am, my sweet." He pulled off his boots and untied his sword and belt, leaving them at the edge of the bed. He got in beside me and pulled me to his chest. I began to nod off quickly, being tired from the long day of remembering.

"And please, call me Jack." I fell asleep with a smile on my lips.
