Ch. 6
"Oooooh my head.", he groaned. His head was pounding he reached up to rub his temples and became suddenly aware that he was missing his clothes.
He looked over to his side and saw Emma contently sleeping. She was wrapped up in her cloak sleeping on top of the blankets. She had undressed him and he didn't even get the pleasure of watching her do it. Somehow she got him into the bed too. Maybe she was stronger than he gave her credit for. The moon was still in full glow. He sat up in bed and looked around. She straightened up and hung his clothes to dry. He smiled. She looked like an angel sleeping under the moonlight.
When he came down after fighting the storm he found her lying on the floor in front of the bookshelf. He tried to revive her but she was out cold. She had clearly been knocked out by the books that were lying all around her. He had scooped her up and put her to bed. The storm was a killer. They lost a man and half a dozen others nearly went overboard. He was more than exhausted but he had too much adrenaline to go to sleep. He sat down with his rum and had a few drinks, maybe a few too many as he watched her peacefully sleeping.
She had kissed him. He couldn't get the impression off of his cheek of her lips. He felt the imprint might have been burned in. He touched that spot and smiled. He hadn't felt that way about a woman in a long time. She was so beautiful and she didn't even realize the effect she had on men. She was so modest and proper yet she was still a bit rough around the edges. That was what he liked most about her.
Whenever he thought about how poorly she had been treated by her husband he could feel the bile rise in his throat. If he were to ever cross paths with that man again he would be sure to kill him but in a very slow manner to ensure that he felt the pain that she must have endured all those years.
Anyone could see that she is a prize to be treasured. She had only been on his ship for two days and he was already taken with her. He wasn't sure how he would be able to let go of her.
He knew in his heart that she would never be able to love him. He was a pirate, a scoundrel, and a killer. He had lived a hard and rough life. It would not be a life he would want for a woman as soft and beautiful as she is. He already had a hard time keeping his crew at bay and keeping her safe. He told the crew he planned to ransom her and that she needed to remain untouched and unmarked. He kept her locked in the cabin for her safety. He told the crew that no one was to even set eyes upon her for fear of their death.
She started to moan a little and began to roll towards him. God she was going to drive him crazy. He edged over towards her. He brushed her hair back off of her face. She had beautiful alabaster skin. He longed to touch her and to have her touch him. He inched even closer still. She had soft pink lips and he ached to kiss her. He knew if she were to let him hold her in that way he would never be able to let her go. It was amazing just to be able to sleep next to her and wrap his arms around her. He was surprised that she even allowed that and that she was happy about it. It was the best night's sleep that he'd had in a long time. He caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. Her eyes fluttered open and looked up at him.
"Captain? Are you alright?" she said sleepily.
"Yes, Any idea how I ended up without my clothes Love?"he asked.
"Hmm, well." she mumbled looking away.
He inched closer to her so that the length of his body was matched to the length of hers.
She pushed forward to face him. She gave him a shy smile.
"Well, when I woke up you were passed out in your wet clothes sitting over there at the desk. I thought it would be best to remove them so that you didn't get ill. I tried to wake you but you looked exhausted and I believe you might have had quite a bit of rum. "
"Ahh, I see. How did you manage to get me undressed and into the bed Love? Did one of my crew help you?"he asked.
"No, Captain." she blushed scarlet.
"Are you angry with me? I hung them to dry. I can fetch them for you."she said pulling away. He pulled her back down.
"No Lass you don't have to do that. I'm not angry with you. I'm just amazed that I had a beautiful woman undress me and put me to bed and I didn't even get to enjoy it. "he said waggling his eyebrows.
His eyes were sparkling in the moonlight mesmerizing her again. She couldn't help but look into his eyes. He was gazing at her so intently that she felt as though she could not break from it.
"Thank you for taking care of me, Love. Can't say I've had anyone care enough about me to do that in years." He said smiling.
"Captain, it's the least I could do for you. You have shown me such kindness since I have arrived. You have saved my life in more ways than you can imagine. I'm eternally grateful to you for allowing me to feel free. "
He couldn't take it any longer. The way she was looking at him in such a kind and loving manner. He leaned in closely to her, his gaze unwavering from her eyes and caressed the side of her face down to her chin with his hand. He pulled her chin up and he kissed her delicate, soft lips. It was like he had been struck by lightning. He felt her lips mould to his as she responded to his kiss. She sat up and her hands slowly found their way up around his neck. Her fingers threaded through his hair sending a shudder through him. He held her in an embrace and pulled her closer so that he could claim her mouth completely. His tongue slipped inside her mouth to deepen their intimacy.
Desire swept through her in waves of heat as they moved closer together. She never felt like this with a man before. She felt as though she could not get enough of him, his scent was intoxicating. He abruptly pulled away.
He was shaking when he pulled his mouth away from her. His breath was ragged and uneven.
She didn't want to let go of him. She reached up to pull him back to her. He grabbed her hand.
"Love, if you keep kissing me that way I'm not going to be able to stop."
She could already feel his arousal through the thin blanket that separated them.
She wanted to feel safe in his arms again. She wanted to feel loved. Her body ached for him to touch her. Her hands slipped back up around his neck, her fingers entwining in his soft hair. She looked at him with pleading eyes.
"What are you doing Love?" he whispered.
She felt his muscles tighten. She leaned forward very carefully and lightly kissed him. She could feel him holding back from her. She leaned in again this time letting the tip of her tongue caress his bottom lip.
The hunger inside him seemed to ignite. The feeling was so intoxicating, so overpowering. His tongue penetrated her warmth, probing, taking and tasting her. He caressed her face and pulled back searching her eyes for signs that she wanted to stop. She was looking at him smiling.
Her eyes never leaving his gaze, she wasn't resisting. She had initiated the kiss and she looked surprised as he had pulled away from her.
She pushed the cloak to the floor and lifted the blanket that separated them climbing underneath with him. That was her only protection from him and she knew it, she wanted him.
He stared at her with amazement.
"Love, do you know what you are doing to me?"
"Captain, I believe it is the same thing you are doing to me." she whispered seductively.
"Emma Swan, I want to make you feel loved in every way. If you do this I may never be able to let you go."
"I hope you mean that Captain."
He began kissing her neck gently and slowly moving towards her mouth. He wanted to make love to her. He didn't want to just take her and relieve his need. She wasn't just some bar wench that he paid to service him for the night.
"Captain, can you help me out of my night gown?" she whispered.
She was wearing a soft night gown that didn't leave much to the imagination. He could feel her breasts perking up for him through the thin material as his hands roamed over the curves of her body. She made little moaning noises when he found those spots on her neck as he kissed her. Those little noises struck spikes of pleasure through him. He sat her up and pulled up her nightgown over her head so that he could remove it. He wanted to be close to her without any barriers between them. She sat up and raised her arms to allow him to pull it over her head.
The moonlight was shining in through the window. She had a bit of glow to her skin as he revealed her body from under the nightgown. Her hair fell down from inside of her nightgown as he removed it and it framed her face, back, and shoulders. She looked like a goddess in this light. How did he get so lucky as to see this beautiful creature? How could she even look at him that way? What did he do to deserve such a gift?
"Emma, you are beautiful." he whispered.
"You're not so bad yourself Captain." She said blushing. It had been a long time since she had been with a man let alone had anyone see her so exposed. She smiled as he looked at her with need in his eyes.
He reached for her hand and pulled her close to him, laying her down on the mattress. He began kissing her hand and then continued light kisses all the way up her arm and to her neck. His lips were soft and wet. It felt like he was caressing her with each kiss. He traced her bottom lip with the tip of his tongue then he thrust his tongue inside her mouth to explore the wonderful textures. The fire in her belly was growing stronger with each kiss. She could feel the heat from his body and his growing need against her hip. She moved her hips against him rubbing his arousal and creating friction between them.
"Your skin is so soft and smooth", he whispered in her ear.
His hand slid between her thighs, she pushed her hips forward. She wanted to be able to respond stronger but she felt so good that she couldn't move. She thought she was going to die with need. He could tell how aroused she was by him.
"You're so wet for me Love." he whispered seductively as he caressed her.
He smiled against her lips as he continued to deepen their kiss. Emma responded by arching her body closer to him. His thumb teased her sensitive nub again and again until the sweet torture threatened to consume her.
"Captain, you feel so good", she moaned when his fingers penetrated her. She was soon lost to the sensations coursing through her body. Suddenly she was forced into a sweet haze as the waves enveloped her body and crashed over her. She'd never experienced anything like this before. He continued kissing her and caressing her with his tongue.
"That's good Love; I want you to feel as much pleasure as I can offer you."
He claimed her mouth once again. His heart was slamming against his chest. The scent of her was so intoxicating and feminine. He found her breasts and cupped their fullness. He began kissing her nipple into an aroused point forcing her to catch her breath in the back of her throat. He settled on top of her between her thighs leaning up on his elbows. He captured her mouth in a searing kiss and thrust into her, tight, moist heat just as his tongue thrust inside meeting hers.
Emma wrapped her legs around him, pulling him deeper inside. She met each thrust completely, arching with demand when he withdrew. The sweet ecstasy overwhelmed her as they found their release at the same moment. She couldn't help but say his name over and over.
The way she said Killian was driving him wild. No one used his name anymore and to hear it in the throes of passion was so arousing.
She felt like liquid. Their legs were tangled together. He shifted her in his arms sliding next to her so he could hold her and relieve his weight from her. She could feel his heart pounding just as hers was.
"That was, incredible Love", he said as he let out a breath. He peppered little kisses all over her face and down her neck. She was giggling as the tickling sensations overwhelmed her. She suddenly felt emotion overwhelm her. She looked up to see him staring at her. She could feel the tears start sliding down her face.
"Did I hurt you Love?"
He used his thumb to wipe away the tears.
"No, it was wonderful. I've never felt such pleasure before." She said as she caressed the side of his face.
He pulled her closer and kissed her on top of her head, then her cheek, and then gently on her lips.
"That is the way a man should always treat a beautiful lady when he makes love to her. Emma, you are exquisite, a treasure that should be protected and loved. I'm in awe of you. I'm not worthy to have had you Love."
She snuggled closer into him kissing him softly on his chest, up his neck, nibbling his ear, and then finally his lips.
"Killian, Thank you. You made me feel like I could deserve to be loved like that. I never thought I would feel that kind of pleasure in my life." she whispered.
His mouth claimed hers once again and he spent the rest of the night hours making her feel worshipped and loved. When he felt that she was completely sated he held her close and watched her until she fell asleep in his arms.
He wasn't sure why the Gods smiled on him this way but he would never doubt them again.
