Time and Tide

Chapter 6


She was fighting, trying to escape his hold on her as he slammed her to the wall. SHe couldn't get away, no matter what she'd learned in her self defense classes. He was too strong. He was always stronger when he drunk and angry. And he was surely angry. She'd nearly torn the hair from the lover she'd cuaght him with and that brought this all on her. He hit her once, twice, three times in her stomach and once across her cheek, all the time cussing her for everything she was. She screamed over and over, begging him to stop and she fought to get away....

Jack was standing on deck, taking the watch of the night and looking out at the sea. She seemed to be calm tonight, it was placid out. Suddenly, he heard a distant scream. He dismissed it at first, thinking it to be his imagination. Then he heard is again.. someone screaming.. STOP... Please STOP! It sounded like Sierra! He quickly awoke Gibbs as he heard it again.

"Mr. Gibbs, need ye to take over watch.."

"What be wrong, Jack?' He said groggily.

"Something is wrong with Sierra.." he tossed over his shoulder as he quickly went the direction of the first mates quarters.

Jack quickly opened the door and ran inside, slamming it behind him. Sierra was tossing and turning in her sleep , screaming and crying and fighting like she was trying to escape something..or someone. He quickly ran to her and sat down on the bed, trying to wake her, he shook her gently, then a little more forcefully until she opened her eyes and let out a scream, almost fighting him too. Jack pulled her into his arms, holding her close so she couldn't fight. She was strong.

"Sierra..wake up, luv..its Jack.. "

Sierra woke fully and finally realized it was Jack who had her and began to sob uncontrollably, burying her face in his chest. Jack held her and let her cry, trying to calm her.

"Shh..darling, you're alright. Ol' Jack's not gonna let nothin happen to ye.." he soothed as he stroked her beautiful dark hair. She held onto him desperately, her sobs starting to become whimpers, her body trembling. Jack kissed the top of her head and continued to whisper soothing words to her.


"Just a bad dream, luv, nothing's gonna get ye ..." Sierra soon stopped whimpering and her breathing slowed. Jack could feel her relaxing in his arms, but he did not let her go. "Care to tell me what happened?"
Sierra lifted her head from his chest and looked into his gorgeous dark eyes.

"He-he was beating me again, over and over. Hurting me. I couldn't get away. I tried Jack, I always try, but he is too strong...." she spoke in a low , terrified voice.

"Who was hurting you, luv? Tell me.." He whispered as he held her closer. Sierra did not pull away, she welcomed his arms holding her close. She needed him right now.

"My ex.. the one I told you about. I have nightmares about the last time he beat me. That last time was the worst. I couldn't get away. I tried..." she began to cry again. Jack pressed her head back to his chest and stroked her hair.

"Shh, darling, He cannot get ye here. He's never going to hurt you again. I'll see to that, believe me. You should know now, that I would never, ever put my hands upon ye in such a way and would kill any man who tried to." Jack said with all seriousness.

Sierra lifted her head from Jack's chest and looked at him. She could see it in his eyes that he meant every word he said. She leaned forward and softly kissed his lips. "Jack..." she whispered. She needed to say no more. Jack kissed her softly, but with passion. She fully gave into it, letting her body take control and press closer to him. Jack broke the kiss and held her close to him.

"Jack?" she whispered.

"Aye, luv?"

"I-I need you..please... don't let me go. Make me forget about what happened to me..." she whispered.

Jack groaned. Did she not realize what she was doing to him? "Are ye sure, luv? I don't want to be takin advantage of this situation.." she stopped him with a kiss to his lips.

"Yes, Jack..please... touch me, love me..make me forget I was ever hurt as only you can.." she whispered against his lips.

Jack needed no further persuasion. He began to kiss her again, tenderly, but with passion as she softly whimpered into the kiss. He laid her back on the bed, still kissing her as his hand pushed up the hem of her night gown and stroked her bare thigh. He stopped only to remove the nightgown leaving her in all her glory. He also removed his shirt. Sierra sat up and helped him remove it, their lips meeting again in yet another fiery kiss. Jack laid her back down again, his lips leaving hers and trailing down her neck his tongue taking light licks along her skin. Sierra sighed with pleasure. He moved further down, taking a nipple into his mouth and suckling gently as his other hand stroked and kneaded the other one.

"Yes, Jack..oh yes..." she moaned softly as he switched to the other nipple. He then licked his way down further, tasting her skin and making Sierra squirm and whimper softly. He kissed her right below her belly button and then ran a single finger down her slit, making her arch her hips up and gasp. She was so wet for him, so hot.

"Jack..please.. I need it..." she moaned. Jack's tongue took a slow long lick along her slit before dipping inside to taste her. She nearly screamed as he worked that tongue up and down slowly, dipping into her depths and flicking over her clit lightly as he held her hips.

"JACK..oh god..." Sierra moaned as his tongue and lips worked her into a frenzy. Oh god he was so good at that. She squirmed and sobbed, her body tensing and beginning to shake as she gave into the pleasure and let go, her climax hard and violent. Jack continued to suck and lick at her as she came, drawing out the pleasure for as long as possible. FInally Sierra's sobs became pants and she relaxed, moaning softly as Jack left her long enough to rid himself of his breeches. He lowered his body to hers and she wrapped her arms around him and held him close for a moment, enjoying the feeling of his body on hers. She could feel him hard and aroused against her thigh, and reached down between them to stroke him slowly. Jack gasped. She'd never touched him like that before. He closed his eyes and groaned as she stroked him a little harder. Jack stopped her and kissed her gently. He entered her as slowly as possible, filling her with every inch of him. Sierra 's hips rose to meet his as he pushed forward in a slow forceful thrust, his hips grinding.

"Ohhhh..oh my god.. oh Jack... " Sierra moaned as he thrusted over and over, slow forceful thrusts. He felt so good. Sierra moaned as her hips met his, thrust for thrust, as he made love to her. She didn't want him to stop.

"Oh, god, luv.. so hot..so tight.. "Jack's mouth met hers as she kissed him desperately, holding onto him as if he were the only thing keeping her afloat for she was drowning in the pleasure he wielded. Jack felt her body tense and thrusted harder, filling her with every inch of him. Sierra's body shook and she screamed his name as she gave into the pleasure and her body exploded, fireworks showering over her. Her body squeezed Jack so tight that he could no longer hold back either and he thrusted hard into her, coming hard as he did. Waves of pleasure crashed over both of them as they moaned each other's names, thier lips meeting in a passionate, fiery kiss. Jack slowly withdrew from her and rolled onto his side, pulling her into his arms, holding her tight as they recovered. Sierra kissed his chest and then leaned up to kiss his lips.

"Jack.."

"Aye, luv?"

"Don't leave me tonight, stay here with me..." she pleaded.

"I am not going to let ye go, Sierra, sleep, darling..." he kissed her softly and held her against his chest.

He knew Mr. Gibbs would not mind taking on the rest of the night watch, and he made no move to leave her. He held her close, drifitng off to sleep himself.


The next morning, Sierra awoke to find Jack still holding her. He hadn't let her go as he 'd promised. She felt that familiar ache between her thighs at the feel of him against her. No more would she deny herself when she wanted him. She had needed him and he'd been there for her. Jack slowly awakened and placed a sleepy kiss on the top of her head. Sierra looked up at him and then slowly kissed him, a slow hot kiss. Jack rolled her over on her back as he broke the kiss and looked down at her.

"Feeling better, darling? he asked.

"Oh yes, Jack.. more than you know.." she whispered. They kissed and held each other for a bit longer, but then realized that they needed to get up..no more time for relaxing. They washed each other with water and a rag from the basin and nearly decided to forget about getting any work done and go back to bed. It took all of Jack's concentration to get up on deck instead of staying there and tumbling Sierra in that bed again.

Sierra threw herself into her work, trying to keep to task. Every once in awhile, she'd steal a glance at Jack, finding him to be watching her too. He'd give her a wink and go on about his duties as Captain.


Chapter 7

Her hands trembled with fear, fear of his smile, fear of his eyes, fear of him knowing. With all her might she forced the images of the prior nights events from her mind, but to little avail. For it was with every maddening step she took towards the helm that her knees grew weak and her heart pounded. Could she really...? No. She couldn't! She couldn't allow herself to fall in love with him. She took a deep breath and forced herself to look up the steps towards the helm where Jack stood at the wheel, and felt her heart jump. He was breathtaking, standing up there, guiding the Pearl where he wanted her to go. She couldn't help but bite her lip, thinking about how those hands of his had felt, guiding her to complete pleasure the night before,making her forget about her problems, how she'd slept peacefully in his arms after. These feelings he'd stirred within her scared her and it was that look that Jack saw upon her face when he caught sight of her watching him yet again.

Was that fear in her eyes? Jack was a bit confused becuase he'd certainly never given her reason to fear him.. if anything, quite the contrary. Perhaps it wasn't him she was afraid of exactly, but the feelings he aroused in her whenever he got near her. She could say all she wanted about how much she didn't want him, but Jack knew different. Her true feelings had come out the night before, when he'd stayed there with her as SHE had wanted him to. Jack had only meant to comfort her, had no intentions of what happened to happen. It happened becuase she wanted it to and when it came down to it, Jack wasn't going to deny her what she needed. Was he falling in love with her? Jack chuckled to himself.. Of course not.. his inner voice said..If Jack Sparrow was to fall in love, it would be by his own rules, his own timing, and his own standards. This, he was sure, could not be it. He was fond of her, sure, wanted her, definately. But was he in love? No, not Captain Jack Sparrow!


"LAND HO!" Marty shouted from the rigging as the port came into view. Puerto La Vega. The Pearl hadn't docked there in awhile. He guided the ship into port and shouted to the crew to take shore leave, but to be prepared to sail in two days time. The crew and thier Captain all made landfall, glad to be on solid ground if only for a bit. Most everyone headed straight for Rosalita's, the local tavern.. Sierra hung back a little, not sure what she wanted to do. She knew she had Jack's protection as well as most of the crew's for she had befriended alot of them. Still they were pirates, and she didn't completely trust them. She squared her shoulders and marched up the dock, determined to be brave. She drew curious glances from a lot of the port's locals, becuase they'd never seen her in Puerto La Vega before. Sierra quickly found Rosalita's and went through the tavern door. There stood Jack, surrounded by tavern wenches. They were hanging all over the handsome pirate, giggling and whispering words in his ear to make him grin that wicked gold glinted grin that made her weak in the knees. Sierra's eyes narrowed and at that moment, she wanted to beat every one of them off with a stick and drag Jack back off to the Pearl. Dammit, what was wrong with her? Certainly she wasn't jealous.

Jack saw the look on Sierra's face and chuckled to himself. Ah, she appeared to be jealous, in fact, pea green with it. He looked Sierra square in the eye as he wrapped his arms around one of the wenches and smirked as he accepted the kiss she gave him on his neck. Seirra's eyes narrowed further and Jack could tell she was doing everything in her power not to display said jealousy. Sierra could bear no more, watching those women all over him and she ran out of the tavern and back to the ship. That did it for her. She'd be damned if she'd ever let him near her again for anything! Jack watched her go, and was tempted to go after her, when a hand grasped his chin and turned his attention back to the deep kiss he was suddenly engaged in.

They stayed in Puerto La Vega for two days, and Jack hardly, if ever, saw Sierra. She'd made it up in her mind to stay as far away from him as possible. He did not know where she went or what she did, but he did know she slept aboard the ship. She was jealous, that was certain. Jack grinned. It was kind of funny really. She claimed she didn't want him, but couldn't stand to see him in the arms of another woman. When he finally did set eyes on her again, it was when they were boarding to set sail. She gave him an icy stare and sauntered up the gang plank and to her quarters. When she came back out, she just walked past him like she didn't even see him and on to her tasks of preparing the ship to set sail along with the rest of the crew. Jack gave the orders to draw anchor and they were off, back to the sea. He stayed at the helm for awhile until they were out on the open water, all the time watching Sierra. She kept herself constantly busy, a determined and serious look on her pretty face. If she did happen to glance up and catch sight of him, her blue eyes flashed and she looked away.

They were deep out at sea now, so everyone was not as busy as usual. Jack was walking about the deck seeing to different duties. Sierra was in the mood to practice with her newly acquired sword, but Jack was the last person she wanted to practice with. Then she spied Mr. Ragetti and grinned. She walked over to him.

"Mr. Ragetti, care to help me for a bit?" she asked.

"What is it ye be needin, miss?"

Sierra eyed Jack, who was standing a couple feet away, then turned her attention back to Ragetti.

"I recently acquired a sword and I wanted to practice here on deck, would you like to help me?" she asked sweetly.

"Of course miss, I'd be obliged."


Jack heard that exchange of words and turned to see swords being drawn and Sierra start to practice. Ah.. so she thought that by not asking him to practice with her, it was bothering him. Jack smirked. She was trying for a little payback it seemed as she caught sight of him and smirked at him herself. That did it... the jealousy game was about to be over for her. He watched them practice and had to admit she was good, a natural with the sword. He wondered where she'd gotten it. He knew she had no coin , well certainly not enough to buy weapons. He watched as they finished the practice and then saw Seirra head off in the direction of the first mate's quarters. Now was his chance. He left charge to Mr. Gibbs and orders not to be disturbed, then off he went to find her.

Sierra stood in her quarters, brushing her hair . She was in her nightclothes.

"That was a fine display of jealousy you showed in Rosalita's, luv.." Sierra gasped and spun around to see Jack standing in the doorway, Bloody hell, she'd forgotten to lock the door!

"What jealousy, Captain Sparrow? I am sure I don't know what you're talking about. Now, if you please, leave me, I happen to be busy with preparing to see to my personal affairs.."

"Sorry, darling, can't do it.. "Jack answered as he came further into the room and locked the door behind him. Sierra knew there was no escaping him. " There's only one thing I want to know..and that's why you got so jealous when you claim to not want me, that you have not one bit of attraction to me?"

"I am not jealous, Jack. I never was. I just don't like watching those wenches paw all over you like that. It makes me sick. I saw you look at me when she kissed you. You were trying to make me jealous, well it didn't work!" she retorted hotly.

Jack moved closer to her, even as she backed up.

"Did it not? You ran from the tavern and I never saw you the entire time we were at port. I knew you had to be sleeping here.. on the ship... alone.." he stressed the word alone. "and then when I do, ye give me icy stares and act as if I am not around. That's jealousy darling, no matter how ye look at it. "

Sierra turned her back to him and looked away.

"I....am....not...jealous.." she said slowly, even as Jack's arms came around her from behind, pulling her back against him and kissing her neck up to her ear. Sierra struggled a little, but he held her tight.

"Are ye not?" he whispered hotly in her ear. " I saw you, luv. Ye wanted to tear the hair from every one of thier heads..." another kiss to her neck and he pulled her closer back against him. "Ye wished it were you that was touching me, you that was kissing me. Ye couldn't bear the sight of seeing me with another woman." Yet another kiss and light caresses up her ribcage.

"T-that's not true, Jack.."she managed to get out while holding back a moan. He knew how to get to her. One hand came up to caress her breast through her nightgown..the pad of his thumb making contact with her nipple through the thin garment. Sierra gasped and bit her lip to keep from moaning.

"Is it not, darling?" His other hand moved between her thighs to run two fingers along the length of her slit. She was wet, even though she claimed to not want him. Another hot kiss to her neck and a small bite. " I don't beleive you're telling me the truth, Sierra. Your body makes a liar of you luv.." a finger began to play at her clit, rubbing softly, then harder, then softly again. Oh god he was driving her insane. He continued the same gentle then hard play at her clit.

"I c-can't..I d-don't want..." she sputtered, then that moan she'd been holding back came from her lips.

"Don't want to what, darling?" he whispered hotly.. and she felt the tip of his hard cock against her throbbing core as he slightly bent her over. He entered her with a quick hard thrust, making her gasp.

"T-to resist..oh god, Jack.. "she moaned as he thrusted again. Her wall was coming down, even now. It was useless to try and resist, she wanted him even as she was pissed at him. Jack began to work into his rhythm, thrusting hard into her as his hands kneaded and stroked her breasts up under her gown.

"Tell me again ye don't want me, Sierra...." he said as his thrusts pounded her.

"I c-c-can't..." she moaned as Jack's fingers pressed hard to her clit, rubbing it roughly as he pounded within. Sierra's body shattered and she came hard, pushing back against him, loud, lusty moans coming from her lips.

"Aye, that's it..darling..." Jack moaned as control left him and he thrusted hard, filling her with his passion. He came hard, gutteral moans coming from his lips, his cock still thrusting into her as he completely emptied himself in her depths. They collapsed together on the nearby bed, completely out of breath.

Aye... ye can't darling, becuase ye know it to be untrue.." Was all he said as his lips found hers in a deep, passionate kiss. It was all over for her. She knew that from now on it was Jack who had command of her body. She could no longer resist his kisses, his hands on her, his voice in her ear commanding her to come for him. It was useless to, and he had just once again proved it to her.


Chapter 8

Sierra awoke the next morning with a pleasant soreness all over her. Jack hadn't stopped at the one time, but had continued making love to her for hours. In the last afterglow as she was falling asleep, she realized something. In all this time she was board the Pearl, Jack had managed to steal her heart, without her even knowing it, until then. He was a pirate after all. She couldn't deny it, not after he'd shown her over and over that she belonged to him, even if he didn't say it. He didn't have to. She was afraid to tell him. She wasn't sure if he felt the same, or if she was merely a distraction while he was on the Pearl and later he'd find the familiar strumpets at every port. No matter. She wouldn't tell him. Not until she knew how he truly felt for her. Jack had risen some time ago it appeared, perhaps not wanting to wake her. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. Geez.. she thought..I'll be doing good if I can even walk straight.. She giggled. She washed and dressed and headed up on deck to face the new day. She thought about Jack as she came onto deck and a wave of desire washed over her. She didn't see him anywhere. She walked about the deck, getting ready to get to work on the day's tasks. Suddenly she heard a voice behind her that made her jump.

"Having trouble walking there, luv? Can't imagine what could've happened to cause that... " She turned to see Jack standing there with the wickedest of grins on his handsome face. She smiled slyly and decided to tease him back.
"Why yes..I do seem to have a bit of trouble here.. can't imagine why... " she winked.
Jack looked at her lustfully... "Ye know why... " He moved closer, pinning her against the side of the ship.
"Mmm..Jack... "was all she could get out as his mouth claimed hers in a fiery, passionate kiss. Her arms instinctively went up around his neck and he leaned further into her, deepening the kiss. Sierra pressed against him. Suddenly it was taking all her willpower not to jump on him right then and there. Jack broke the kiss and stroked a finger down her cheek.
"Feels better not to deny it, doesn't it, darling?" he whispered. She could only nod. If he weren't holding onto her, she felt certain she'd fall to the deck in a heap. Her knees were so weak.
"Yes, Jack.. it does..." God, her heart was pounding. She was certain he could hear it. He went to kiss her again, but she stopped him. "Jack, I think we'd better stop for now..I don't fancy making a spectacle of myself in front of the entire crew.." she giggled.
"Aye, that's true. Much better in private..but I can't resist..."His mouth found hers again and then he broke the kiss, sending her on her way with a light slap on her butt as she walked off. She gasped and looked back over her shoulder at him only to receive a saucy wink in return.


Jack watched her go with a wistful look on his face. Gibbs had to call him about three times before Jack heard him.
"Capt'n?"

"Uh..oh..aye, Mr. Gibbs.." he said as he snapped out of his thoughts.

"Is something goin on, ye don't seem yerself.. had to call ye three times before ye answered.." Gibbs chuckled.

"No, no.. everything's good..a bit...distracted is all, "Jack answered. Mr. Gibbs knew indeed what Jack's problem was, but didn't say so aloud. He followed Jack's gaze until he saw that it rested on watching Sierra working.

"She's a beauty Jack.. hard to have that kind of distraction aboard, is it not?"

"Aye, that it is, Mr. Gibbs, but I'd be more distracted if she was gone..."

"Would ye now? Fallen for her, have ye?" Gibbs stated, knowingly. Jack sighed at those words. It was true. Sierra was more a pirate than she seemed. She'd managed to steal the unreachable heart of Jack Sparrow, without even trying.

"Aye Gibbs, so it seems. Ne'er figured her to be the one, but she has stolen me heart without even trying." Jack admitted, even though it was clearly hard for him to do so.

"Are ye going to admit it to her?"

"Waiting for the opportune moment, as always, " was all Jack said as he went on to take the wheel.

JAck thought about Calypso's words to him that first night that Sierra had been aboard the Pearl. New moon was fast approaching. Try as he might, he just couldn't get Sierra to realize that Calypso was indeed the one who made it possible for her to be there, with him. He wanted Sierra to stay there with him, he knew that now. He couldn't let her go. He HAD to try and convince her. He knew how Calypso could be if she was crossed and Sierra not believing she was real, would definatley cross her. Tonight he'd have to push all desire aside and talk to her about Calypso.


Later that night...


Sierra sat on deck, cleaning her pistol as she thought about Jack. She couldn't wait to be back in his arms later that night. She also thought again about her own predicament. How had she time traveled? She just couldn't believe it did happen the way everyone here seems to think it did. She was taught to believe that gods and goddesses were merely myths. But she had to have gotten here somehow. It couldn't be just one fantastic dream. If it was, she didn't want to ever wake up. She looked up and saw Jack coming towards her and smiled.

"First a sword and now a pistol? Where'd you get that, luv?" Jack asked as he sat down beside her.

" I bought the pistol with the last of my money.. the sword I pilfered off of a drunk and passed out man while we were in Puerto La Vega. " she giggled. Jack had to smile.

"So thats what ye were up to while you were off being jealous.. doing a little pirating, eh?"

"Yes.. got to get used to doing it some how, right?"

"Aye.. but do ye know how to shoot that thing?" He pointed to the pistol.

"Certainly. I was taught to load it by the man I bought it from, then I practiced shooting it.." she shrugged. Jack smiled. She was more pirate than she knew!

"Sierra, luv.. I am certainly pleased that you've embraced the pirate's life as ye have, but there is something we need to talk about.." Jack looked at her with all seriousness.

"W-what would that be, Jack, " she asked, nervously.

" Do ye really know how ye got here, luv?"
"I-I am not completely certain, Jack. All I know is that when I next awoke, I was 300 years in the past and on the island of Tortuga in a tavern. You remember the story I told you. BUt, where I am form, Jack, we are taught to believe that goddesses are myths and not real." Jack looked at her.

"But she is real, Sierra. If you've ne'er believed a word ol' Jack has ever told ye, beleive that. I know her. She wasn't always a free goddess of the sea. At one time she was human."

"Is that so? Well, I don't know how I got here, Jack. I just know I want to stay here... with you." She leaned in to kiss him softly. "I just can't believe it Jack..."

Jack could hear thunder rolling in the distance. A storm seemed to be brewing. Never a good sign. Sierra's unbelief in Calypso would certainly make the goddess angry. Suddenly thick, angry clouds started rolling in quickly and the tide started rising. Huge, tall waves, surrounded the Pearl and rain began to fall heavily. JAck shouted orders over the loud thunder and manned the wheel to keep the Pearl steady.

"Sierra, run for cover.." he shouted, and when she didn't move.. " NOW.. to my cabin.. GO!"

Sierra snapped out of her frightened thoughts and ran, as the winds tried to hold her back. She fought them hard, trying in earnest to reach Jack's cabin, when suddenly a huge wave came at her in the shape of
a huge hand and she saw in the waves the angry face of a screaming woman. The wave wiped her completely off deck and into the angry sea below. Jack watched as Calypso's hand came up and wiped her off deck. He shouted for Gibbs and had him take the wheel.


"SIERRA" he screamed over the winds and thunder. He stepped up on the ship's side and dove into the sea to find her, but to no avail. She was gone. He tried to get back to the ship, but she seemed to be suddenly lost. Feeling himself starting to tire, he let himself drift in the waves that seemed to be starting to calm.


Chapter 9


Sierra's eyes slowly opened. Her lips felt dry and cracked and her throat scratchy. She was tired, so tired. But she was on land. She lifted her head as her eyes focused. She seemed to be on a beach. She slowly sat up and looked around. The sun was shining again and the storm was over. She should have believed Jack. She'd caused the storm by making Calypso angry with her and now Jack and the Pearl were gone, lost at sea. He was gone. She stood up slowly, trudging off towards the woods to get out of the glaring sun. She thought once again about him and began to cry. She'd found the one man she knew she could love and now she'd never know that love, due to her foolishness. She found an old lean to at the edge of the woods, long abandoned. She crawled up into it and cried herself to sleep.

Jack drifted for a long time. His strength was starting to leave him and he wondered if this would be it for him, when he spied the beach, not far away. He mustered up what strength he had left and swam with the tide until he felt the land beneath his feet. He sat at the edge of the water, the waves lapping gently around his feet. So calm now. He looked out at the sea and a wave of guilt came over him. He couldn't save her. Sierra had surely drowned for her foolishness in not believing him. He'd thought her smarter than that. However, he could no more blame her for her belief than she could him for his. Sierra was from a different time and place, where sea goddesses were a myth. She'd found out quickly that was not the case here. Jack sighed. He had no idea how long he'd have to stay on this island until he found passage off. He could only hope that soon he'd see the black sails of the Pearl on the horizon. He got up and began to look for water and food and a place to make his bed. Little did he know that he was not alone.


Sierra awoke the next morning to a growling stomach. She needed to find food. She slowly sat up and then crawled out of the lean to and walked into the woods. She was on abandoned island. Where, she did not know. She only knew that she must survive in hopes that the Pearl would find her and that Jack would be aboard. Jack. Just thinking of him made her want to cry. She missed him so much, even though they hadn't been parted long. She missed his kisses, being in his arms, his laughter, the grin on his face. THose thoughts set her determination as she walked along. She found fruit trees and picked some of it to carry back to her camp. Fruit was better than nothing. She walked back to the lean to and as she was sitting down to eat, she sat on something. It was a dagger. Maybe she could try and spear a fish or two to eat. She found a long stick and some vine and tied the dagger to the end of it and headed to the water's edge. She waded out and could see a few small fish just under the surface. She tried in earnest to spear one, but always kept just missing them. Bugger! She finally got angry and gritted her teeth and tried again. Bingo! A fat fish was wiggling on the end of the makeshift spear. She put her foot on the fish and pulled the spear from it and went in for another. Soon she had two small but fat fish to eat. She walked back to her camp and made a small fire. She was thanking God she'd been a girl scout when she was younger. After eating her fill, she went exploring. She found a small freshwater spring and filled her canteen with water. She was glad the same man who had sold her the pistol gave her the canteen too. She was determined to survive, but she did not dare go too far into the woods. Never know what could be in there. Night fell before long and she once again fell asleep.


Jack was in a predicament. No rum and no pleasureable company. Not good. He looked up and saw smoke rising from the other side of the island. Could be he wasn't alone on the island. But with his luck as of late, it was probably more cannibals. He'd been down that path before and didn't care to repeat it. Still, he couldn't help being a bit curious. He went into the woods and found some fruit and water and went back to his camp to eat. Sierra. He groaned every time he thought of her. How he longed for her sweet body under him. Longed to hear her moans in his ear as he pleasured that sweet body.Longed for the sweet honeyed taste of her lips. She'd never know now just how much he did care for her. If by chance she was still alive, he'd find her. He had to.

Sierra was awakened the next morning by the cry of an animal in distress. She'd always loved animals, but had been unable to have a pet in her rented home. She crawled quickly out of the lean to and went to inspect. Lying in a bundle of leaves just inside the woods was a baby brown capuchin monkey. Not far from it was the newly torn carcass of a grown one, most likely the baby's mother. She cried silently for the poor little thing and for its mother. She wondered if the frightened little thing would bite her if she touched it. Her heart went out to it and she decided to try. She slowly approached it, crawling on her knees. The little thing was struggling to get away from her, but it appeared weak, probably from being hungry. She reached out and gently touched it and the little thing whimpered. Poor thing, she thought. She gently picked it up and it wrapped its tiny fist around her finger. She smiled. She had to find it some food or it would die. She walked back to the lean to with it and gave it some water which it greedily drank. Then she offered it some fruit and again it ate hungrily. She fed it until it turned its head away, indicating it was full.

"Well, it looks as if I am not alone after all, doesn't it.. " she smiled... "Now what should I call you?" She looked to see the monkey was female. The little thing looked up at her with curiousity.
"I think "Tina" would be a good name for you, you're such a tiny thing." she giggled and the monkey let out a small screech as if she approved. Tina it was then.

Sierra spent the better part of the day gathering food and water for her and her new friend. Tina had taken to her quite quickly, looking to her to be the mother the little monkey had lost. She'd tried leaving her in the lean to for safety, but soon found the little baby trying to follow her. She smiled and picked her up. Little Tina spent most of the day either on Sierra's shoulder or clutching the front of her shirt and hanging there, with her long tail wrapped around Sierra's waist. It was so nice to have company. However, her thoughts kept returning to Jack and she suddenly felt lonely again.


The next evening, Sierra was playing with Tina at the edge of the woods when a snake fell from a tree and frightened the little monkey and Sierra. Tina ran as fast as her little hands and feet would carry her into the woods. Sierra screamed and on instinct, pulled her pistol from her waist and shot the snake dead, then ran into the woods, calling for Tina. She went further in, with no sign of her. Sierra was beginning to worry about her little pet. At last she found her, sitting on the lowest branch of a tree, looking down at Sierra as if she'd been waiting there for her all along. Sierra giggled at the sweet little monkey and called her down. Tina jumped down onto her shoulder and Sierra petted her, glad to have her back. She turned to walk back to camp when she noticed just how deep into the woods she was. She'd been so intent on finding Tina that she'd not paid attention to her surroundings. She turned in all directions, looking for some familiar sight, a tree, anything. She saw nothing and it was getting dark. Then she heard a noise. Sounded like footsteps in the leaves and twigs of the forest bed. She loaded her gun as quickly as she could and put it back in her waistband just in case. Then she heard it again. Footsteps, coming closer. They did not sound like animal feet, there were only two steps, not four or more. She began to get nervous. With her luck, it was probably a headhunter or something. She hadn't thought about the possibility that there may be others there, becuase it always seemed she was alone, except for Tina. The footsteps got closer.... and closer. She could barely make out a figure in the shadows. Definately a person, she thought. Closer.. Sierra nervously drew her gun and aimed...

"I-I have a g-gun.." she called out in a shaking voice.

Jack froze in his tracks. Certainly he was hearing things. That often happened when one was on a deserted island. No way it was her. It couldn't be. Surely it must be his imagination. Still he felt he should call out to whomever it was.

"Put away your gun, I will not hurt you.." he moved closer and there she stood, frightened and holding her gun with a trembling hand.

Sierra could not believe what she was seeing. She'd missed him so much that she was seeing things. Yet, there he stood. The gun dropped to the ground beside her.

"Jack? Oh my god... JACK.. " she ran into his arms , nearly knocking him over. Tina jumped off her shoulder onto the nearest tree branch for fear of getting crushed.

"Sierra...." He pulled her closer and she buried her face in his chest, sobbing.

"You're...real... you're here... Jack... "she got out between sobs.

"Aye, darling, I am..shh.. don't cry, luv..." he held her close. She felt so good in his arms. Her sobs faded and she could no longer hold back. She lifted her head from his chest and kissed him so hard and so passionately that it brought a moan from both of them. Jack kissed her back just as passionately. When the kiss finally broke, both of them were panting.

"Jack.. oh god.. Jack..." she whispered. She couldn't stop touching him, couldn't stop holding him for fear he was a dream and would soon be gone from her.

"I thought you'd drowned, luv... "he whispered as he caressed her cheek. "I jumped into the sea to save ye, but I couldn't find you.... the Pearl, she's lost at sea and I drifted here, apparently on the other side of the island from ye."

"I-I'm so sorry Jack. I'm sorry that I didn't believe you. I caused Calypso to do what she did, and now the Pearl's gone.." she looked down. Jack lifted her chin so she could meet his eyes.

"The Pearl's not gone,luv, just lost. She'll come back to me, she always does. Even now, I am willin' to bet Mr. Gibbs is searching for us."

"Jack... please don't let me go... " she whispered.. "I want you so much. I-I've missed you...."

"Ye have, eh?" his lips found her neck and kissed there, then lightly licked as his hands caressed her back. Sierra moaned softly at the feel of his hands on her.

"Y-yes... please Jack...make me yours... " she pleaded .. Jack groaned. His lips found hers in a passionate kiss as his hands came up to undo her shirt and slip it off her shoulders. He kneaded her breasts and then broke the kiss to lean down and capture a nipple in his mouth.

"Yes, Jack.. oh yes... "she moaned. Oh god he felt so good. He moved to the other one as she arched into him. Jack shrugged out of his shirt and released her only long enough to spread hers out on the ground, then he reached for her again. Sierra's hands roamed all over his body, bold in her touch. Jack knew that this time it was different. She'd never touched him as she was doing now. She leaned up to kiss him and she worked to unlace his pants. She reached inside and stroked him and Jack groaned. SHe kissed his chest hungrily as she sank slowly to her knees. Jack's breath caught. Surely she wasn't going to... and then she did. Her soft sweet lips wrapped around him and Jack was isntantly undone. She sucked and licked at him hungrily. Jack moaned, his head falling back. "Oh god, Sierra...." his hand stroked her hair as she took him in, sucking hard. He gently pushed her away after a bit to stop her for fear this would be over too quickly if he didn't. He wanted this to last. Sierra slid back and lay back on the spread out shirt, offering herself to him. Jack needed no persuasion. He peeled her breeches from her and just looked at her for a moment, lying there, looking beautiful. He then buried his face between her thighs and inhaled the intoxicating scent of her before thrusting his tongue into her, tasting her sweet nectar. "Yes...oh god Jack... oh god..don't stop..." she cried out as his tongue worked slowly up and down, teasing her to no end. He then began to tease her clit with that same hot tongue as his lips sucked at it. Sierra was sure she as going to explode if he didn't stop. Then he did. She whimpered as his mouth left her heat. Jack moved up. tasting every bit of her until his hot tongue filled her mouth in a kiss that made her body shake. He broke the kiss and looked down at her. Sierra could see the love in his eyes. "Mine" he said in a soft low growl as he entered her with a hard thrust, grinding his hips. "Yes..Jack... mmmm... "Her hips rose to meet his as he thrusted again. He was so hard, felt so good, pulsing inside her. Jack worked into a rhythm, slow, hard thrusts. Oh god she felt so good. So hot and wet for him. At that moment, he couldn't get enough. He moved faster, pushing deeper into her, pleasuring her body. Sierra moaned as he made love to her. Then Jack felt her body beginning to tense, seeking release. He was too. He thrust fiercely within, giving her all he had. Sierra moaned as her body succombed to his pleasure and she came hard..."Oh god Jack..yesss ..love you..so much..." Her words alone sent him over the edge and he came, shuddering against her. Wave after wave of pleasure crashed over the two lovers as they gave themselves to each other completely. Jack lay there, inside her until her body stopped spasming, then slowly withdrew from her and lay on his back, moving her to lay upon his chest, for she was unable to move herself at that moment. He pulled his shirt up to cover them. As Sierra fell asleep, she heard his words to her... "I love you too, Sierra.."


Chapter 10

The Caribbean sun found the two lovers still asleep from their reunion the night before. Somehow, during the night, they had awakened long enough to find their way to Sierra's lean to shelter and fall into each other's arms again. The sun shown in from the entrance, awakening the little bundle sleeping in the corner of the shelter. The little monkey began moving around, studying this new person who had suddenly took up space in her "mama's" bed. She looked at him, then reached out and touched his nose, making him almost sneeze in his sleep. She played in his hair, touched his face, but none of it woke him up. He continued to sleep. Then she got nose to nose with him and let out a small screech. Jack suddenly opened his eyes to see a small hairy face nose to nose with him and let out a surprised curse and bolted upright, waking Sierra in the process, and Tina immediately ran to hide behind her.

"What the bloody hell...!"

Sierra sat up, confused and then began to giggle, then started laughing hysterically. "Oh, Jack.. sorry, I guess I forgot to tell you about Tina.."

"Who, may I ask... is Tina?" Jack asked, a bit confused and a bit irritated that she was laughing at him.

"This... "she said as she picked up the little monkey and sat her in her lap, "is Tina. I found her in the woods the day before yesterday. Her mother had been killed and she was starving. She's really taken to me."

Jack groaned and then chuckled.. "Bloody hell, not another monkey! "

"Another monkey?" Sierra looked surprised and confused.

"Aye, another pirate I know..who happens to be me arch enemy, has a monkey too. Bloody wicked little thing it is. Steals what doesn't belong to it and causes all kinds of havoc for anyone who isn't Hector Barbossa. But, Tina is a baby and a cute little thing too I have to say." He reached out to pet her and she immediately climbed onto his shoulder.

"Aww Jack, I think she likes you! Then again, not many females can resist the charm of Captain Jack Sparrow.. "Sierra winked at him.

"True, that is, luv.." Jack answered with a self satisfied grin.

The little monkey climbed down off of Jack's shoulder, her curiosity satisfied and went outside the lean to. Sierra and Jack lay back down together ,holding each other. Sierra soon could not resist any longer and found Jack's lips in a soft, but passionate kiss. They lay there together kissing and touching and things were really starting to heat up. Jack kissed her neck and down to her breasts as he rolled her over on her back, when suddenly they heard Sierra's stomach growl, making both of them laugh.

"Bit hungry there. luv?" Jack chuckled.

"Mmm., after all the um.. recent activity in the last night, I think I am.. "she winked. "Let's go find some food."

Niether of them were really ready to move from each other's arms, but their growling stomachs were insistent. Jack pulled on his breeches and caught sight of Sierra about to go out side, still completely naked.

"Forget something, darling? You may want to put some clothes on there.... not that I mind what you're wearing now.." he teased with that ever present wink and wicked grin.

"Oh, my god.. " Sierra gasped and then blushed profusely. I swear that man makes me forget to even get dressed.. she thought.. but maybe that's a good thing. She hurriedly put on her shirt.
The shirt caught her at mid thigh and it wasn't like she needed a lot of clothes on when it was just them. All the time Jack watched her. So beautiful, she was. Truthfully, she hadn't really needed to get dressed for him at all, because he preferred to stay right where he was and tumble her again. Then his stomach growled again. Bugger!

Jack and Sierra walked into the woods and gathered plenty of fruit and water to last them for the day. Jack also found other food that Sierra hadn't known was edible and when she tried it, was actually kind of good. Then he found what appeared to be a small pit covered over by the forest floor. He moved away the leaves and grass to find a hidden cache of rum! He grinned. This was getting better and better. Pleasurable company and rum at last. Sierra looked at him lustfully as he stood there, bare chested and looking sexy as hell as he turned up the rum bottle.. She was glad he hadn't put on his shirt. She snapped out of her lust filled thoughts as they went back to the camp. Sierra picked up her dagger and once again made a makeshift spear. Jack watched as she headed towards the water.

"What are ye gonna do with that thing, luv?" he asked.

"Just watch..." she said as she went towards the water, spear in hand.

Jack watched her as she bent over to watch for the fish just under the surface. The sight of her shirt riding up her thighs to show just a tiny hint of her butt sent blood surging below his waist. Jack groaned softly and watched her with lust filled eyes as she lunged to spear a fish. She speared another and two more and then called it quits. Then she carried the fish back up the beach towards Jack and grinned.

"Lunch is served! " she laughed.

"Where'd ye learn how to do that, luv?"

"Well, I was a girl scout in my youth and we learned how to clean and cook fish and stuff and how to build fires. I never thought I would need the skills, but they have come in handy! The spear..I just found the dagger and improvised.. " Sierra answered.


Jack chuckled as she brought the fish back up to the camp and sat down to clean them. She pulled the dagger off the stick and set to work. Jack helped her and soon the fish was cooking over the fire. After they ate their fill, Sierra stood up and went back to the lean to and retrieved her sword. She drew it from its scabbard and took a few small jabs and swipes at the air with it. Jack grinned as he watched her.

"Need some help practicing there, luv?" he chuckled.

"Well, you don't have yours with you, Jack..." she looked at him.

Jack grinned and walked up behind her, wrapping one arm around her waist while his other hand came to rest on her sword hand. With every movement, he guided her sword arm as he whispered instructions in her ear. Those whispered words in her ear brought back the memory of another time he'd whispered in her ear so hotly. Not instructions, but teasing words as his hands played upon her body and his hot mouth kissed her neck. Sierra felt a throb between her thighs and bit her lip to keep from moaning. It was taking every bit of her willpower to listen to Jack's instructions even though she was imagining very different words. Jack saw Sierra bite her lip and grinned wickedly. Funny how just his voice in her ear could drive her nearly mad with want of him.
.
"You okay there, darling?" he asked with a chuckle. It was quite obvious to him, the effect he was having on her.

"Um..er.. yeah, Jack.. just listening intently to your instructions.." she answered, taking a deep, shaky breath.

"Ok,whatever you say, luv " he chuckled. " Now I want to show you the right stance, come stand beside me.."


Sierra moved to stand beside Jack and he showed her the proper fighting stance, holding her sword at the ready. He then showed her foot work and how to step and duck. Sierra watched intently as he moved with the grace of a cougar. It nearly sent her into oblivion again. He was just so sexy. She then took the sword and followed what he showed her, pretending to fight an imaginary foe. Jack stood back and watched her, smiling at her determination. She was quickly becoming more pirate than ever, which pleased him immensely. She finally stopped to catch her breath. Jack smiled and clapped.

"Well done, luv.. " he smiled.

"Thanks, "she said as she caught her breath.." Whew, that was some work out!"

"Fancy a swim in the sea then?" Jack asked her.

"Sure, why not.. I need to cool off a bit anyway.." she answered.

I'll just bet ye do, luv! Jack thought as they made their way to the water's edge. Sierra made it there first, ahead of him. She stripped off her shirt and dove into the waves. Jack grinned wickedly at the sight of her naked body in the waves and stripped off his breeches and followed her. They played in the water a bit, splashing and dunking each other in the waves. Suddenly, they heard a whistling and chattering and felt something swim up between them. It felt like wet plastic. Sierra looked to see it was a dolphin! It was a baby and soon its mother came to join it. Jack and Sierra smiled and played with them for a bit until the animals decided to go on their way. Sierra then got a wicked gleam in her eye and splashed Jack good. He in turn, splashed her back and they got into an all out water war. Until finally, Jack grabbed her around the waist and dragged her towards him, his mouth crashing into hers with a passion filled kiss. Sierra moaned helplessly as she kissed him back just as passionately, rubbing her sensitive nipples against his hard chest.

"MMMmmmm..feels so good.. " she got out, between moans. Jack bent his head to capture one of those hardened nipples in his mouth, his tongue and lips teasing it even more. Sierra arched against him as he switched to the other one, crying out again. Oh god he knew just what to do to drive her insane with lust. The weight of the water was pushing them even closer together, and instead of cooling off, Sierra was getting even hotter.

"Float on your back, luv.." Jack said, looking at her lustfully. Sierra felt a deep throb between her thighs and bit her lip. She then pulled her legs up and floated on her back. Jack wasted no time in putting both of her legs over his shoulders and thrusting his hot tongue into her wetness. Sierra nearly screamed at the sudden hot invasion there. She hadn't expected it and it felt so good. His tongue lapped slowly at her as she moaned and cried out. Oh god she tasted so good and he loved to savor it. Sierra was going insane. He never failed to please her in this way. Jack's hot mouth then decended upon her throbbing nub, sucking at it as his tongue stabbed at it repeatedly. He couldn't get enough of the taste of her. He continued the hot teasing of her until Sierra could bear no more. Jack knew she was ready to come, but he wanted to be inside her when she did. He moved from her and pulled her upright, wrapping her legs around his waist. Their mouths crashed together again in a fiery, hot kiss.

"J-Jack.. please.. " Sierra panted, "Need it so much..."

Jack pulled her down onto his cock. a lusty grunt coming from his lips. He kept his hands on her hips, pulling her harder against him, his cock pushing deeply into her depths. Sierra undulated hard against him, taking every bit of pleasure he gave her.

"Aye, that's it, darling, take it all.." he moaned as she moved hard against him, the waves pushing them hard against each other. She felt so good, so tight and hot for him. They couldn't get enough of each other. Their mouths met again and again as each of them took every ounce of pleasure the other gave. Finally, Jack pulled her hard down on him, his cock going its deepest yet and sending them both into sweet ecstasy. Sierra moaned his name as she came hard, her walls squeezing him hard, taking everything he had to give. Jack thrust hard into her, spilling his passion deep inside her depths as loud moans came from his lips. They stayed locked together there, the waves lapping around them, kissing passionately until they could do nothing but collapse, half in and half out of the water, out of breath. They lay there for a bit,panting, but they just couldn't stop touching. Eventually, they found their way back to the shelter and each other's arms again.
