style='font-size:16.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>“She’s family now?”

Cordelia’s face was flush and her breathing was
rapid. “My God, Jack…where did you
learn such a thing?”

Jack smiled, the gold in his mouth shining in the
dim light. “Singapore.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Though I ‘ave t’ admit, I ne’er ‘ad such a
reaction before.”

Cordelia pulled Jack up toward her, still slightly
panting. “I want to make you feel what
I felt, Jack.”

“An’ I ‘ave no objections t’ tha’, love, but if yer
spent…”

“Spent?” Cordelia interrupted.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “You’re out of your mind, Jack.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I’m completely energized and…”style="mso-spacerun: yes"> She pressed her lips firmly to his in a wanton
kiss. “…eager.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> If you’ll have a little patience.”

Jack kicked off his boots and slid his pants from
his body. “I’ll do anythin’ I can,
love,” he smiled.

Cordelia trailed her lips down Jack’s body in a much
quicker manner than the previous night.
She had no desire to take her time in making him want her, that evidence
was already very obvious. As she neared
his aroused length, she took a deep breath and paused a moment; she was still
scared of doing something wrong. Jack
waited patiently, though it wasn’t as easy as he had hoped…his body tensed as
he felt her tongue glide across the tip of his arousal.style="mso-spacerun: yes">spanspan>A soft moan escaped his lips and eased
Cordelia’s nerves immensely.

The young woman was taking her time now; she
carefully explored the soft flesh with her lips and tongue.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> She let her fingers brush along his inner
thighs, which caused him to shiver and moan a bit louder.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> When she finally took him into her mouth,
Jack thought that he might lose control and make everything end, but he
composed himself and enjoyed the sensation.
Cordelia was still and Jack understood that she was unsure of how to
move along his length.

“Jus’ like makin’ love, darling,” he said
softly. “Relax an’ I’ll show ye.”style="mso-spacerun: yes"> As soon as he felt Cordelia’s jaw relax, he
slid his fingers into her hair, gently holding her head.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> His hips then began to move very slowly,
creating a rhythm. After a few moments,
Cordelia began to match this rhythm Jac Jack stopped moving his hips.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> His head fell backwards as he let her bring
him close to his breaking point. When
he jerked back, Cordelia panicked.

“Did I do something wrong?” she asked, y lay laced
into her voice.

Jack’s breathing was ragged.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “No love…nothing at all.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I jus’…I didn’ wan’ t’ be finished yet.”

“But you let me feel…” Her words were interrupted by Jack’s laughter.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “What?”

“Ye make me feel like I’m taintin’ ye, Cordy.”

“W-why?”

Jack sat up and ran his thumb over her cheek.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Yer so bloody innocent.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I almost feel like I’m doin’ somethin’
wrong.”

Cordelia pretended to pout.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “By the sounds you were just making, I
hardly think I qualify as innocent!”

“Love, ye can ‘ave tha’ feelin’ more than once in a
short amount o’ time. I don’ have tha’
luxury. I get one release, then there
needs to be a bit o’ a break before another.”

Cordelia blushed.
“I knew you’d think I was…”

“I don’ think yer anythin’, love.”style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Jack flashed a seductive grin.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “I told ye, I’ll teach ye.”style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Jack kissed her and gently pushed her flat
against the mattress. His state of
arousal was almost painful, but he couldn’t resist the urge to tease his
lover. He positioned himself at her
entrance, but didn’t let himself slide in.

“What are you doing?” Cordelia asked, almost
giggling.

“Makin’ ye wan’ me.”

“I already want you, Jack.”

“I’m here t’ teach, remember?style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Buildin’ up the want makes things
feel…” He bent his head down and gently
nibbled at the base of her neck. “…like
heaven.” Not able to resist any longer,
Jack gently pushed into Cordelia – her legs wrapped around his waist
instinctively. “See, yer learnin’,
love.” Jack had a terrible urge to
ravish her, but this was only her second time to be with a man and he feared
hurting her.

Cordelia sensed that Jack was holding back and she
bucked her hips forward roughly. “Jack,
you don’t need to be so gentle.”

“Yes, I do, lovpan pan style="mso-spacerun: yes">
I don’ need t’ be hurtin’ ye…”

“I’ll tell you if it hurts, I promise.”style="mso-spacerun: yes"> She let her nails drag down his back.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Please?”

Without thinking, Jack’s pace quickened and his
thrusts deepened. He moaned her name
repeatedly and kissed her with an intensity that he’d never possessed
before. Cordelia felt no pain, only
pleasure, which she couldn’t help but find a bit odd. She shook her thoughts from her head and tried to match Jack’s
intense rhythm. It wasn’t long before
she was screaming Jack’s name in an intense climax…Jack soon joined her,
pulling away from her body and letting his release spill onto the blanket below
them.

He took Cordelia into his arm and let his heart slow
before speaking. “Yer all right?”

Cordelia’s head rested again Jack’s chest and she
smiled. “I’m wonderful…but why did
you…go away at the end?”

“Love, I hardly wan’ t’ get ye pregnant.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I’m only hopin’ we didn’ do tha’ last
night.”

“Oh.”

“Oh? Cordy,
did ye wan’ me t’…Do ye want a…I don’ think tha’s the best idea an’…”

To Jack’s surprise, Cordelia laughed –
genuinely. “I don’t want a child,
Jack. I mean if it happened, I wouldn’t
regret it or…I just like you being close to me.”

“Pirates don’ make very good fathers, love.”

“Would you be upset if last night…”

“With anyone else,” Jack interrupted, “I think I’d
be a coward and awa away. With ye…if
that happened, I don’ think I’d be unhappy.
Tha’ doesn’ mean tha’ I’m ready for diapers and bot…”style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Cordelia interrupted Jack by kissing him
deeply. “Wha’ was tha’ for?” he asked,
pulling away.

Cordelia smiled.
“For not being ‘piratey’ a the the subject. No worries though, Jack.
I don’t think a baby’s in our future any time soon.”style="mso-spacerun: yes"> She snuggled against his chest and drifted
off to sleep. Jack, however, stayed up
with his thoughts.

First, ye fall in love with ‘er.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Not a bad thing at all.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Now ye are considerin’…ye actually may even
want… Jack laughed at himself.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Yer gettin' soft, Sparrow.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He looked down at Cordelia.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Damn good way t’ do it though.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Still, a ship’s no place for a family.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Family?
Wha’, she’s yer family now? He
held his lover closer to his body. She
is…
