ManEater

Jack Sparrow
It was now early evening. I stood on the rail watching the sun set over the Caribbean Sea. Endless thoughts were running through my head. Some were good, while the others were bad. Too much has happened to me in the past week since we’ve been in Port Royal. I was glad that we would be setting sail tomorrow to an unclaimed island a few hundred miles away from this God-forsaken place. I will finally be away from this pompous civilization, not to mention, away from that eunuch and his whore…Wait, oh no. I forgot. They’re supposed to be coming with us! Dammit! I forgot that it was Will’s bloody idea that we set sail to those islands and I remember that he kept telling me that he’d always wanted to claim land as his own! Maybe it won’t be so bad…

His wench will probably stay her arse in Port Royal and care for her father…if she knows what’s good for her. I hope she does. I wouldn’t be able to stand the sight of her or the smell of her lilac perfume. Bad enough I can’t get that damn lingering scent out of my cabin! What am I saying? She’s a stubborn ass! She won’t stay home…I just know it! She loves adventure and the taste of freedom too much to give up. I’m sure the eunuch would want her to come so that he could keep an eye on her, or maybe keep himself busy with pleasurable company… The mere thought of them doing that while they were on my precious Pearl nearly sickened me. They would be parading their love around right in front of me on purpose like stupid idiots. Kissing, cuddling, and making googly eyes at each other. I had to put up with that rubbish on our way to Port Royal and it nearly sickened me.

“Not on my bloody ship!” I said aloud as I took one big gulp of rum and tossed the empty bottle out into the sea. Gibbs rushed over to me and eyed me strangely.

“Capn? What seemin’ ta be yer problem?”

I turned around and looked at him and flashed a smile. “Nothin’…nothin’. Just talking to meself. I’m about ready to go to the pub. Care to join me?” I asked, trying to dismiss any other questions he might have wanted to ask.

“Aye Capn’. Let’s be off before all the rum’s gone!” He replied enthusiastically as we left the Pearl and made our way over to the pub.


-----------------------------------------------------------------We reached the pub after a few moments. I stepped inside and noticed an empty table in the corner. The place was very rowdy and crowded. There seemed to be more whores in here tonight for some strange reason…maybe they heard that I was coming and wanted to have some “adult” fun with me later on tonight...that’s if I’m up for it. Gibbs and I sat at the table unnoticed, until he motioned for the barmaid.
“Two gins fer us lass…” He said with a smile.

“No. One gin for us. I want a tall bottle of rum, love.” I said flirtatiously to her. She blushed a little as she nodded her head with a smile and turned to walk away.

“Nice to know I still have a certain irresistible power over women. You wouldn’t know anything about that, now would you Gibbs?” I asked my first mate with a wicked grin.

Gibbs chuckled and rolled his eyes. “No Jack I don’t, I tend ta keep meself away from the lasses. They tend ta be bad luck, both on and off tha ship!”

After a few moments the barmaid returned with our drinks. As she placed my rum bottle onto the table, she kept her eyes locked with mine. I smiled at her flirtations and ran my hand across her forearm.

“Thank you, love.” I said as I winked my eye at her. She blushed again and turned around to leave. Gibbs looked at her and then at me and shook his head.

“I’d be careful if I were you Jack, ya don’t want the lasses fallin’ in love with ya tonight and havin’ ta disappoint ‘em in the mornin’.” Gibbs stated in his usual superstitious tone.

“Don’t worry about me mate, I’m not the one that’s plannin’ on fallin’ in love. What I do plan on is enjoying myself…and it doesn’t require just drinkin’ rum…” I retorted in a suggestive tone.

Gibbs nodded his head and took a swig from his mug. “I don’t blame ye Jack. Tonight’s our last night in Port Royal…spend it like it’s our last day on earth!”

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to bed anyone tonight. I was still numb from what happened two days ago. I don’t know why I kept letting that day affect me so much. I was growing tired of feeling this way…feeling lovelorn, bitter and all the other nonsensical emotions that she caused me to have. But I’ll be damned if I prevent myself from having the time of my life tonight!

I looked around the room at all of the strumpets and whores who were either drinking rum, or flirting with other men. There were some that were absolutely beautiful, while there were others that were old and used. I continued to scan the area until I noticed a young woman approaching me. She was beautiful. She had long, flowing black hair, hazel eyes, and her body resembled the shape of an hourglass. That wasn’t the only thing that caught my eyes. Her breasts were the first thing about her that I noticed…full, and nearly spilling out of her form fitting corset. She seemed to be around Lizzie’s age, but a few years younger. The whole time she walked over to where I sat, she held my gaze. I smiled at her as she stood in front of the table. I made a quick glance at Gibbs and noticed he was a little awestruck with her, too.

“Evenin’ gentlemen.” She said politely with a smile.

“Evenin’ lass…” Gibbs replied.

“I’ve never seen you here before, are you merchant sailors of some sort?” She asked as she eyed me with desire.

“Aye…more of the plunderin,’ thievery type, love…” I replied as I took a sip of rum.

Her eyes widened with delight as she stepped closer to me. “Oh…so I guess I can assume that you are pirates?” She asked.

“Aye love. The best and most infamous in the Caribbean…” I replied with a flirtatious smile.

“So, would you mind telling me your name?” She asked as she ran her hand up my arm.

“Capn’ Jack Sparrow. I’m sure you’ve heard of me.”

She grinned and nodded her head. “I have, actually. I’ve always fantasized about how you would look and what type of lover you would be…” She said seductively. Gibbs choked on his rum and began coughing.

“Are you alright, mate?” I asked as I frowned at him.

“I’m fine Jack, I’m fine…” He replied.

I then turned my attention back to the woman. She turned her attention away from Gibbs and looked at me with a smile.

“And might I add, I had never pictured you to be so unmistakenly handsome...and..." She leaned over and whispered into my ear. "If we were alone right now, I would ravish you, Captain Sparrow..." She stood up and placed her hand on my shoulder and grinned at me desirously.

I glanced at Gibbs, who rolled his eyes and took a swig of rum, and then met the young woman's intense gaze and smiled. I was astounded, yet flattered at her boldness. I loved it when women were aggressive with me, it makes it much more easier to lure them into bed when they are so...let's just say, willing...

"Darling, I wish we were...I would do the same to you...maybe even more..." I replied with my most sexiest squint. I could see her cheeks blushing and her breath quickening. We stared at each other for a few moments until Gibbs spoke.

"So lass, what be ye name?"

She reluctantly broke her gaze from me and looked at Gibbs. "My name’s Lyanne.” She replied with a smile and turned her attention back to me. She touched my hand and lightly squeezed it.

“Pleasure to meet you.” I replied with a wicked grin.

“The pleasure’s all mine, I’m sure. So Captain Jack Sparrow, would you mind if I sit down and join you?”

“I don’t mind at all, pull up a chair.” I replied as I pointed to an empty chair that was a few feet away from me. She turned to look at the chair and then at me.

“No, I was thinking maybe I could sit right here.” She said as she slowly sat down on my lap. I looked at Gibbs and grinned wickedly. He shook his head and smiled to himself.

I could feel her body purposely press against lil’ Jack, but to my surprise, he didn’t wake up.

“Do you mind that I’m sitting on you Captain Sparrow?” She replied as she purposely moved her chest closer to my face.

“No, not at all. In fact, I believe that the scenery has improved greatly.” I replied as I stared at her round breasts. I wanted to touch them to see how they would feel, but I figured that I might get slapped for doing so.

“So, Captain Sparrow, what do you have planned for the rest of the night? Perhaps if you’re not busy, maybe you can spend some time with me?” She asked in an insinuating tone as she played with the beads on my beard. I felt a surge of lust run throughout my body, as if my old whore-chasing self had miraculously returned. As I was about to answer her tempting question, another woman out of nowhere came and dragged her off my lap by her hair.

“Ow! Let go of my hair you whore!” Lyanne yelled as the woman roughly let go of her hair and knocked her onto the floor. She stood up and dusted herself off and glared hatefully at the woman who attacked her.

“I told ya he was mine!” The woman spat out venomously.

Lyanne ran over to the woman and jumped on her, knocking her to the ground. The whole pub erupted in excitement as the two women fought over me.

“He’s mine you toothless, old, used up wench! He would never bed you!” Lyanne yelled as she continued to sit on top of the woman and punch her. The whole time they were fighting, I felt honored that I was the cause of the brawl. It was quite arousing in a way.

Gibbs turned to me with an all-telling look on his face. “I told ye not ta flirt with the lasses Capn’. Now they be fightin’ o’re ye and ye have no plans on bein’ with any o’ ‘em aye? It’s all this fer nothin’.” He chuckled slightly.

I looked at Gibbs and smiled wickedly at him. “Who says this is for nothing? Maybe I will bed one of ‘em? I think it’s fair that the winner should be rewarded with my goods, aye mate? Or perhaps, I should have ‘em both…” I replied as I took a swig of rum.

Gibbs shook his head and eyed me sternly. “Jack, I think ye should step in an’ stop the lasses from fightin’ before they kill each other.”

I looked at Gibbs and then at the women who were now rolling on the floor. I sighed and rolled my eyes in disappointment. “I guess you’re right mate…” I placed my rum bottle on the table and walked over to the middle of the room and stood over the women.

“Shut it you two!” I yelled in my Captain’s voice. The two women stopped and turned to look at me. Lyanne quickly got up and fixed herself, while the other woman sat down on the floor and spit out what seemed to be one of her teeth. I stepped back a little, for the bloody tooth skidded right in front of me. Lyanne smiled and stepped closer to me. I smiled back at her and touched her face.

“Now that I have you two lovely ladies’ attention, I would like to say that I have no, absolutely no plans on shagging anyone tonight. I do not belong to anyone, especially you two and as titillating as it is to see you fighting over me, I want you to stop!” I replied sternly. Lyanne was staring at me in shock. I knew she probably felt upset that I publicly refused her. I stepped closer to her and caressed her face and smiled. I brushed a lock of her raven hair away from her face. I could feel her body shuddering as I lifted her chin with my finger. I leaned in closer to her and whispered.

“Just so you know Miss Lyanne, if I was at a different point in my life, I would have spent some time and made love to you all night. But I must decline. You must know that you are very beautiful and tempting. Any man would be honored to share their bed with you. Now, do me a favor and fix yourself up and get out of this whoring business. You are too young and beautiful to waste your time. You wouldn’t want to end up looking like your friend over here on the floor now, aye?” We both looked over at the older woman who still sat on the floor, face slightly bloodied and disoriented. Lyanne turned her gaze back to me and lowered her head in shame.

“No.” She replied in a low whisper.

I lifted her face and held her gaze. “Good. Now off you go.” I replied, motioning for her to leave. She continued to stand awestruck in front of me. I knew that she wanted something, but was afraid to ask.

“Is there something the matter, love?”

“No, uh…I’m fine. Thank you…” She replied in a soft tone.

“I think I know what’s wrong. You want to kiss me, don’t you?” I asked with a wicked grin. Lyanne’s breath began to quicken as I caressed her face.

“Yes, Captain Sparrow if you don’t mind. I’ve always fancied kissing a pirate captain.”

“Well then, it’s settled. I’ll agree on one condition. If you promise me that you’ll change your ways and…” I leaned in closer and whispered into her ear. “If you’ll let me feel on your breasts.”

Lyanne widened her eyes in shock and slapped me. I was dizzy at first, but I figured she was offended by my comment. I guess it was hypocritical for me to tell her to change her ways and then have me feel on her breasts. But I asked her that on purpose. I did not want to kiss anyone. I wanted the taste and feel of Elizabeth’s lips to remain on my lips. I didn’t want anyone replacing her in that way…

“I guess that’s a no then aye, love. Well then, goodnight.” I replied as I walked back to Gibbs.

Gibbs was laughing hysterically at me. I sat down in the chair and took another swig from my rum bottle.

“I guess yer not too good with the lasses tonight aye Capn’?”

“Just because I get slapped by one woman tonight doesn’t mean that I’m at a total loss, mate.” I replied as I took another sip of rum. Just as Gibbs was about to speak, the barmaid approached our table.

“Someone across the room wanted me to give this to you as a gift.” She said as she placed the rum bottle onto the table in front of me. I looked past the barmaid and across the room to see who could have bought me a drink. I was about to tell her to send the rum back because I really didn’t want to be bothered with anyone. I knew that whoever sent it to me had one thing in mind. I really didn’t have the heart to do anything tonight but drink rum…despite what I told Gibbs. When the barmaid walked away, I located my secret admirer sitting in a corner all alone and then suddenly, my mind changed and I forgot about everything I just said.

“Her…” I whispered under my breath…
