When love interferes

Chapter fifteen: Things get rough

It was sunrise somewhere in the Caribbean. The crew of the Dauntless hadn't seen a soul in days…except for a few unwanted visits from Lord Beckett. Elizabeth and Will had been sneaking around the ship for secret meetings in closets and unoccupied cabins…using their own cabins would be too risky. Feeling young and in love the days passed quickly making them forget the real reason why they were there. Christine had been missing for over a month, and they had lost all hope in seeing her alive again. As the days passed, Norrington's worries grew stronger and stronger…the hope he once had of finding his love again slowly faltered as the time passed. He surely hadn't forgotten about her…he could never do that…but the lack of her presence wasn't as acute as it had been a few weeks ago.

Standing by the rail he watched the horizon as the sun rose up from the azure ocean, streaking red and orange colors across the sky. The clouds took on a light pink and yellow glow as the sun rose higher. Sunrise and sunset were the hardest times for James. It's vivid colors reminded him of Christine and her light spirit. How he missed her smile…her sweet laughter and the sparkle in her eyes. With a sigh he headed over to Elizabeth's cabin, seeing if having some company wouldn't cheer him up.

With a soft knock on the door he entered the cabin. Elizabeth was fully dressed, sitting in front of her mirror, combing her hair.

'' Oh hello James…come and take a seat.'' She placed her brush on the table and pulled her hair up into a bun. James sat down on the bed with a serious look on his face. Elizabeth saw his reflection in the mirror and turned around.

'' Are you alright?'' She inquired as she sat down beside him.

'' Yes…I'm fine thank you.'' James lied.

Elizabeth looked at him doubtfully. '' I think there's something you're not telling me…''

James looked into her eyes and she could see that there was something troubling him. '' No…really, I'm fine…I just wanted to see how you were.''

'' James Norrington…I've known you since I was a girl…and I know when something is bothering you.'' Elizabeth took his hand in hers. '' It will make you feel better if you share your worries with me.''

Looking into her warm brown eyes, seeing the love she had for him made him feel all warm inside. Gazing at her perfectly molded face, the strong jaw line and high cheekbones he felt himself leaning towards her, brushing his lips against hers. Elizabeth upon feeling his lips on hers gently pushed him away.

'' Why did you do that?'' She inquired surprised.

'' I…I don't really know…'' He replied shocked. '' I'm really sorry Elizabeth.''

Elizabeth smiled. '' It's alright…'' She took his hand in hers. '' Do you still miss her? ''

James, surprised by the question looked at her startled. Then his body eased up and a sad frown formed on his face.

'' Every day…'' He replied faintly. Elizabeth pulled him into a tight embrace.

'' I'm so sorry you have to go through this…I wish there was a way for you to be together again.''

James smiled at her in gratitude. '' Thanks…it means a lot to me to hear that.''

Elizabeth smiled back. '' I will always be here for you if you need me.'' Seeing him leaning closer to her, she placed a hand softly on his lips.

'' Not like that though…'' He backed away again.

'' I'm so sorry…I don't know what has come over me…'' He stood up from the bed. '' I need some fresh air.'' Elizabeth watched him as he left the cabin, closing the door after him.

'' Poor man…'' She shook her head sympathetically.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

On the Pearl life was much easier…well at least for some of them. The crew went about their routine on the ship and everyone seemed fairly happy. Some men were singing and others were laughing but one girl stood by the rail, clearly not feeling good at all.

It took a while to get the men to stop staring at her hungrily after her bath she had taken the day before. Occasionally she got a smirk or a wink from one of them, but considering the attention she received the day before it was nothing to worry about. Lucas hadn't talked to her since the incident the day before, but she was hoping it was just because he was busy and not because he was avoiding her.

Standing alone by the rail, she heard someone approaching. Not needing to turn around to know who it was she sighed.

'' What do you want Jack? '' The man didn't move so she slowly turned around. There he stood with a mischievous grin on his face.

'' Luv…I think ye know exactly what I want…''

Christine crossed her arms over her chest. '' Well you're not getting it! ''

Jack pouted. '' Aw…luv…don't be so mean…ye know ye want to…'' He said with a grin.
'' Why would I ever want to sleep with you?'' She inquired annoyed.

'' 'Cause I'm irresistible…'' Jack said smirking as he walked closer to her. '' Ye can't deny that…''

'' I can't say that you're ugly…but irresistible…nah, I don't think so.'' Christine teased as she turned around, smiling over the look Jack had on his face. In order to save his reputation he walked up from behind her, snaking an arm around her waist.

'' I don't know why ye try to resist me…when I be willin' ta give ye everythin' a woman desires.'' He whispered into her ear. Christine's breath quickened as she felt his warm body pressed against her backside. Christine tried to stay calm and pretend like this wasn't having any affect on her, but when he leaned down and pressed his lips against her smooth neck she let out a sigh of pleasure. Jack grinned as he kissed her neck again, sucking gently on the flesh above her collarbone. Christine leaned into the touch, but soon snapped out of her state of pleasure. She pushed him roughly off herself.

'' Don't ever do that again or I'll castrate you! '' Christine threatened as she stormed away, leaving Jack chuckling to himself.

'' That woman sure is feisty…'' He grinned as he licked his lips. '' I like it…''

Christine stormed down to her cabin, slamming the door behind her. In a short while a soft knock was heard on the door.

'' Leave me alone! '' Christine shouted.

'' Christine…it's me Lucas…can I come in?''

'' Lucas…oh, I'm so sorry…please come in…'' Christine apologized. Lucas opened the door and shut it behind him.

'' I saw you storm into your room…what's the matter?'' Lucas inquired as he sat down on the bed.

'' It's Jack…he won't let me be….can't he see that I don't want to have sex with him!'' Christine said, more talking to herself than Lucas.

'' Well you've heard the stories…he's supposed to be a noted womanizer…'' Lucas added.

Christine looked up at him.'' But that doesn't give him the right to force himself on me like that! ''

'' No…I was just saying…it doesn't surprise me that he is…'' Lucas replied.

'' Oh the curse of being a woman on a pirate ship…'' Christine sighed.

Lucas chuckled. '' It sure seems tough…but you've got to admit that you like it here…''

'' Yeah I do…I really like it here…but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss James.''

'' James…your man on land…'' Lucas said with a frown. '' Are you sure he's out looking for you…I don't want you to have false hopes about him coming to find you…''

'' He's out there somewhere…and he will find me. Hopefully before I lose my patience with Jack…'' Christine replied.

'' Well if you're so sure.'' Lucas smiled to her. He really hoped that James fellow was looking for her. Being away from her would be an awful thing, but seeing her happy with the man she claimed she loved would make the separation much easier.

Later that day Christine went back up on deck. Jack was nowhere to be seen so with a relieved sigh she walked over to the rail. A smooth ocean breeze was in the air, cooling her skin as she gazed at the horizon. Every day she would stand there and wish Norrington's ship would appear on the horizon. The stay on the ship had made their separation more agreeable, but she still loved him and wished she would be reunited with him again.

Jack seeing her deep in thought by the rail decided to pay her a visit. Knowing that he was probably not her favorite at the moment he slowly approached her and leaned backwards on the rail beside her.

'' Nothin' beats a good ocean breeze…'' He stated with a grin. Christine didn't look at him.

'' Oh come on luv…ye can't still be mad at me…'' Still no answer.

'' How about if I make it up to you…''

Christine turned her head towards him. '' And how had you planned to do that…by offering to sleep with me…again! ''

'' No, no…nothin' like that…unless ye want me to.'' He said the last part with a smirk. Christine glared at him angrily.

'' Alright…just checkin'…how about I offer ye ta dine with me…in me cabin.''

Christine raised a brow at him. '' Do you really think that will work…I'm not that easy...''

'' No…just as mates…no strings attached.'' Jack said with a smile.

Christine narrowed her eyes at him. '' So it would only be you and me…eating in your cabin?''

'' Yeah…and drinkin' of course.'' Jack said grinning.

'' Alright…I except the offer…but as soon as you make a move on me I will go.''

'' Agreed. '' Jack said with a smile. '' Now come with me…the food awaits us.''

'' What! You have it ready…how did you know I would agree to dine with you?'' Christine inquired stunned.

'' Luv…I'm irresistible.'' Jack flashed a golden grin at her as he walked towards his cabin, opening the door for her.

Mumbling something under her breath, Christine entered the room seeing a decked table in the middle of it.

'' Wow… Jack…this is amazing…'' Christine said stunned.

Jack walked up behind her, whispering in her ear. '' All for ye luv…'' He drew out the chair for her and pushed it under the table after she had sat down.

'' I never took you as such a gentleman, Jack…'' Christine said with a smile.

'' There are a lot of things ye don't know about me….'' Jack grinned. He poured some wine in her glass and opened a bottle of rum for himself. They ate and chatted about their former lives and the sea. Jack told her some of his stories from his previous adventures and she told him about Port Royal. Soon Christine had changed from the wine over to rum. Her mind was getting a bit hazy and her speech slurred.

'' Luv…I think ye should stop now…'' Jack advised her as he took the bottle away from her. '' Yer not used to rum…you'll pass out if ye drink any more…''

'' No…I won't…gimme the bottle back…'' Christine slurred. Jack chuckled and drank all but one sip from the bottle.

'' With one condition…a kiss.'' He said, squinting his eyes at her.

Christine stood up from the chair and sauntered over to Jack, sitting down in his lap. '' Fine…then a kiss it shall be..'' She leaned in closer, putting one hand on his cheek as their lips met. Deepening the kiss, Christine reached out with her unoccupied hand and snatched the bottle out of his hand.

'' Got it! '' She quickly swallowed the last sip.

'' Why did you do that…I was goin' ta give it to ye anyways?'' Jack inquired, amused by the drunken Christine.

'' 'Cause you wouldn't…I know you well enough to know that you would never have given it to me.''

'' And what makes ye say that?'' Jack narrowed his eyes at her.

'' Pirate…'' She poked him in the nose as she spoke.

Jack laughed. '' Ye sure are drunk…''

'' No I'm not…'' Christine slurred.

'' If you weren't, would I be allowed ta do this?'' He gently nibbled on her neck down to her collarbone. Christine moved her head, giving him better access to her neck. Jack raised his hands up to her breasts and started rubbing them softly. When he heard no complaints he stopped.

'' If ye were not drunk, ye would never let me do that…'' Jack said with a grin.

'' Well then I'm no fun when I'm not drunk…'' Christine laughed. She slid her finger down the side of his face.

'' Why would I ever deny such a handsome man…''

Jack flashed her a golden grin. '' That's what I've been sayin' all along…''

Christine leaned closer to him, planting a kiss on his jaw line. She moved her kisses up to his ear, where she gently sucked on his earlobe. Jack writhed beneath her, feeling himself getting hard. Christine, feeling the bulge beneath her, slid one hand down between her thighs to caress it softly. Jack moaned when he felt her touch on his hardness. Sliding his hands up her body he massaged he stopped at her firm breast, caressing them gently. He captured her lips in a strong, heated kiss, moaning into her mouth as she squeezed his member through the fabric. Deepening the kiss, he slid his tongue into her mouth, tasting her fervently. Feeling his arousal nearing its peak, he picked her up, taking her over to the bed without their lips parting. Laying her down on the bed, they pushed themselves further up, their tongues entwined in a heated battle of lust.

Parting their lips to breath, Jack moved his head down to her neck, sucking on it, making her sigh in pleasure. He began to unbutton her shirt as his kisses went lower. Christine pulled his head back up to her, kissing him fervently. Jack's hands finished unbuttoning her shirt while his lips and tongue pleased hers. Pulling her shirt open, revealing her naked bosom he lowered his head, taking one nipple in his mouth. While teasing it with his tongue his hand caressed the other one. Christine moaned as she started unbuttoning his shirt. Having trouble getting to the buttons, Jack raised himself up and ripped the shirt of himself.

Christine giggled as she pulled him down again, crashing her lips against his. Jack's fingers slid down her body and rested on the top of her breeches. He fumbled with the buttons with one hand as the other caressed her breast. He got the breeches loose and pulled them down. Remembering the boots she was wearing, Jack removed himself off her and pulled them off, throwing them on the floor. He slowly pulled the breeches off her legs, with a mischievous grin on his face. Christine sat up and loosened the sash wrapped around his waist. Throwing it on the floor she tugged on his breeches, trying to unbutton them. When the buttons were loose, she pulled them down to his knees, freeing his member from his prison. Surprised by his size Christine gasped, making Jack chuckle.

'' I guess yer man's not as well built as I be…'' Jack threw his boots off and climbed on top of her. Christine giggled in excitement as she felt his member brush against her thigh. Their lips locked in a fiery kiss as she felt his fingers slide down the front of her body. As they entered Christine gasped in pleasure, pulling him closer to her body. Jack grinned and moved his fingers inside of her, receiving moans of pleasure from her.

'' Oh ye like that don't ye… '' Jack whispered seductively in her ear. In response Christine grabbed his face with both of her hands, kissing him hungrily. She rocked her hips with his movements, feeling her arousal getting near her peak. Jack, hearing her breath quicken removed his fingers out of her, receiving disappointed moans.

'' Luv…be patient…I'm not done with ye…'' Jack grinned as he captured her lips again. He moved himself between her thighs, positioning himself by her entry. Christine bent her knees, giving him better access to her center. Feeling Jack slip into her she wrapped her legs around his back, pushing him further inside.

'' Not one ta wait…ey?'' Jack grinned as he pushed into her. Christine moaned as she felt him deep inside of her. Every time he thrust inside of her, he tried to go deeper…faster. Christine feeling her arousal nearing her peak moaned his name loudly, which only encouraged him to go faster…deeper. It felt so good being inside of her…her tight walls pressing on his member with every thrust, arousing him to a higher level. Oh how long he had awaited this…to be inside of her…and her performance surly wasn't a disappointing one.

'' Jack…oh Jack…'' Christine moaned as she pressed him closer to her body.

'' Come for me luv…I want ta hear ye scream…'' Jack hissed as he thrust deeper inside of her. Christine feeling herself on the verge dug her nails into his back as the wave washed over her. She screamed out his name as her walls tightened around his member. Jack quickly pulled himself out of her, squirting his seed on her inner thigh.

Panting, he removed himself off her, laying down on his back. Christine rolled over to her side, placing an arm on his chest.

'' That was amazing…you sure do stand under the reputation…'' Christine said grinning satisfied.

'' Of course I do luv…I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.'' Jack flashed her a golden grin. Christine nuzzled into his neck and soon was fast asleep. Jack looked down at her sleeping form, lying partly onto of him. He grinned satisfied as he praised himself for finally being able to shag her. He closed his eyes and fell asleep with a grin on his face.
