A change in the winds

Chapter twenty-one: Not one to give up…

A.N. As before the words in bold italic are from a different language.


'' All right. You win. I'll tell him tomorrow,'' Kenna sighed.

'' Good girl,'' her father smiled. '' After it's done, you'll feel much better. Keeping secrets can be very tiring.''

'' Tell me about it.'' Kenna rolled her eyes. '' I'm still not as certain as you are that he will accept me as I am.''

'' Kenna, he loves you. He would never throw you off the ship.''

'' He has threatened to do it before,'' she pointed out.

'' That was before he got to know you. Now, I don't think there is anything that could break you two apart.'' He caressed her cheek with his hand.

'' I smell food. What is it? No, it's not food. It's something else.''

'' I'm getting so tired of this!'' Kenna huffed. '' The animals on board are driving me insane!'' A rat peered out from a hole in the wall and sniffed the air.

Her father chuckled. '' It takes some time to get used to.''

'' Most of the time I can't tell if it's a man or an animal. I don't know whether I should answer or not. It can get awkward trying to explain why I answered a question that was never even asked!''

'' You'll learn to distinguish between animals and humans,'' he said with a smile. '' Just give it some time.''

Kenna nodded annoyed, she knew her father was right. He was an angel so he should know what she was going through.

'' Have you been practicing your powers since we last talked?'' her father inquired.

'' Not much, it's not easy to be secretive on this ship. Besides, Jack has needed me a lot after the storm.''

'' I understand. It would be better to keep your identity from the others until Jack finds out.''

'' I did throw a ball of fire towards Christian the other day though,'' Kenna said laughing.

'' You did?'' her father said surprised. '' How did that work? he inquired curious but quickly added. '' Was anything damaged?''

'' It was great,'' Kenna smiled. '' He was so scared I thought he would piss in his pants.''

'' Usually I would tell you it isn't nice to frighten people with your powers, but this time I will make an exception,'' her father laughed.

'' The only problem will be explaining to Jack why there is a burn mark on his door,'' she said with a frown.

'' You'll figure it out.'' He patted her on the shoulder. '' Now I have to get back to work.'' He kissed her on the forehead and left the room with a smile. Kenna sighed; this was going to be tough. She lay back on the bed and closed her eyes, clearing her mind. Deep in her soul searching, she didn't hear the man who entered the cabin until she felt his hand slide up her leg. She quickly sat up on the bed and saw that it was Christian.

'' I should have known. Anywhere I go, you follow,'' she spat at him.

'' I'm only here ta congratulate ye on yer magnificent performance out on deck. I didn't know ye felt so miserable here.''

'' Oh, I doubt that. I've made it very clear how much your presence disgusts me.'' She stood up from the bed. '' What do you want?''

'' Ye know what I want.''

'' Well you're not getting it so you can just give up on that fantasy of yours.''

'' Give up? Never. Ye will be mine and I don't mind playing games in order ta get ye. Makes it more excitin' actually.''

'' You are a sick man,'' she frowned at him in disgust.

'' I don't think ye really hate me as much as ye want me ta believe…I think this is yer way of denyin' yer feelings for me.'' He stepped closer to her.

'' I don't have any feelings for you except disgust.'' She refused to let him intimidate her so she didn't back away when he approached. He walked behind her but she kept her face forward.

'' Ye're lyin'…I can tell,'' he whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine. He snaked one arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him. She tried to remove his hand but he was too strong.

'' Release me,'' she ordered.

'' No,'' he replied, planting a kiss on her neck. She pushed his head off her shoulder and tried to wiggle out of his grasp.

'' Release me! You know I can easily harm you.''

'' Ye don't want ta harm me. Ye just want me ta think ye do. Ye don't want me ta know ye love me. That ye crave for me. I'm willin' ta play along but I'm gettin' quite tired of these games.'' His free hand cupped her breast, squeezing it lightly as he bent his head down to her neck to inhale her sweet scent.

'' I'm not playing any games. That's just your sick way of thinking. No real woman would pretend she hated the one she loved.'' She shoved his hand off her breast.

'' Oh really? Are ye sure about that?'' he whispered in her ear.'' Then what did ye do the first time ye came aboard?''

'' What do you mean by that? I never pretended to hate Jack. I've never hated him. And I didn't love him when I stepped aboard this ship.''

'' Whoa, slow down honey. I was just messin' with ye.''

'' Are you done now? I don't know how much more of your games I can take.''

'' I'm all in for skippin' the games if ye want,'' he murmured against her neck. She caught him off guard and shoved her elbow in his ribs.

'' Ow! Why did ye do that? I thought we were gettin' along so great.'' He held her more firmly against his body.

'' Let me go or you'll regret it,'' she threatened.

'' Anythin' ye can do will only harm ye in the process.''

'' Are you sure about that?'' She raised her hands slightly up from her sides and closed her eyes. She felt the heat start to rise in her body and focused it towards her hands. Christian felt the change of temperature but wasn't quick enough. She pressed her blazing hand against his on her waist and felt the skin sizzle under her touch. Christian screamed in agony and released her, staring down at his deformed hand.

'' Ye're crazy! Look what ye did ta me hand!''

'' You can't say I didn't warn you,'' Kenna said gloating.'' I would advice you to put some cold water on that, you might get blisters.''

Christian shot her a dirty look and mumbled something under his breath as he left the cabin. Kenna chuckled and sat back down on the bed. That man was not one to give up.

Night fell and the lamps were lit, illuminating the deck in a soft glow. Jack was standing by the helm as Kenna approached him.

'' You've been out here all day, it's time for you to rest.''

Jack turned to look at her. '' I'm not tired. I don't want ta go, I've been away for so long.''

'' I know that, but you must rest. You are not fully recovered and never will be if you don't take care of yourself.''

'' Ye're startin' ta sound like me mum,'' Jack narrowed his eyes at her.

'' Well you should be glad I'm not,'' she replied with a disgusted expression on her face. Jack laughed and put his arm around her, pulling her close to him.

'' I just want you to do what's best for you.''

'' I know that luv. I'm just not used ta someone takin' care of me.''

'' Well you better get used to it 'cause I'm not going anywhere.''

'' I wouldn't want ta have it any other way,'' he said with a smile as he lowered his lips to hers. She had missed the warmth of his lips and eagerly returned the kiss.

'' I think we should take this to a more private area,'' she whispered against his lips. '' I believe we have some viewers.''

Jack turned his head and saw that his men had stopped what they were doing and were staring at them.

'' I believe ye're right,'' he said with a grin and then turned to his crew. '' What are ye starin' at? Get back ta work!''

The men quickly scattered and returned to their stations. They knew better than to anger their Captain.

'' Let's move this to me cabin,'' he purred in her ear.

'' Easy there tiger, you're not ready for anything like that.''

'' What do ye mean? I've been out here all on me own the whole day. I have the energy!''

'' Let's talk about it in your cabin, I don't like the company.'' She took his hand and led him over to the Captain's cabin, shutting the door behind her. As soon as the door was closed, Jack jumped on her and threw her on the bed, climbing on top of her.

'' I thought we were going to discuss this,'' she said with a laugh as she felt his lips on her collarbone.

'' Why discuss somethin' that can be shown?'' Jack mumbled against her neck. His hand slid up her waist all the way up to her breast, cupping it gently. Then a thought hit him and he raised himself off her and climbed out of the bed.

'' What are you doing?'' Kenna inquired puzzled.

'' Lockin' the door. Wouldn't want anyone ta interrupt us,'' Jack grinned and returned to the bed. Kenna saw the hungry look in his eyes and felt her own arousal grow. She didn't care whether he would be able to perform or not, it would be better than not trying at all.

'' Come here you.'' She grabbed his shirt and forcefully pulled him down on the bed beside her. Jack laughed and pulled her head down for a kiss. Her fingers played with the buttons on his shirt, unbuttoning it in no time. She pushed it off his chest and leaned down to lick a path from between his breast muscles up to his ear. Jack growled with excitement and allowed her to do what she wanted with him.

'' Since you've been bedridden for so long I don't want to put too much strain on you. Just lay back and enjoy what I've got to offer.'' She licked her lips and straddled him, running her hands over his chest.

'' I love it when ye talk dirty ta me,'' Jack said with a grin. '' Usually I wouldn't allow me woman ta take control, but when ye do it's quite arousing.'' He raised his hand to run it down her body. '' Yer talk ta me earlier…when ye ordered me ta get off me feet and go out on deck…I would have jumped ye if me feet hadn't been so weak.''

'' So you're saying you like it when I order you around?'' Kenna inquired curious.

'' Don't get me wrong luv, I be a man and I want ta be in control. But every once in a while I'll allow ye ta order me around. Ye've got a fire in ye, like a wild beast that can't be tamed.''

'' You'll allow me to order you around every once in a while? And the other times you will order me around is that it?''

'' No, I wouldn't dream of it. Ye would never listen anyways,'' he added with a grin.''

'' I'll order you around as much as I want. I've got something you want.'' She slid her hand down her body to emphasise her statement.

'' And I don't? Luv, don't be delusional, we both know ye want me body as much as I want yers.''

'' Somehow I think I could cope more easily without yours than you would without mine.''

'' Please don't make this a contest. Let's just agree ta take turns on having the upper hand in bed.'' He knew how stubborn she could be and was in no mood to argue. He wanted some hot action.

'' Agreed. Now, it's my turn so stop talking.'' She leaned down to capture his lips in a passionate kiss, pressing her body tightly against his. Jack moaned and raised his hands to cup her behind. Kenna moved her lips to his ear where she nibbled at his earlobe. She had no idea what she was doing so she just followed her instincts. Sex couldn't be that hard to figure out. Her hands roamed over his chest and forearms while her mouth brushed over his neck, planting soft kisses on the way. She raised herself off him while she unbuttoned his breeches, freeing his aroused member from its prison. Jack grinned as she pulled his boots and breeches off and threw them on the floor. She straddled him again, feeling his member brushing against her behind.

'' Keen aren't we?'' she said with a flirtatious smile. She raised her hands up to her shirt and started slowly unbuttoning it.

'' Can I?'' Jack asked, indicating the shirt.

'' No, it's my time to dominate. You'll just have to wait until your turn.''

Jack laughed and squeezed her behind. '' Fine, ye're in control now.''

She smiled and continued unbuttoning her shirt. Slowly, her breasts were revealed to him and Jack felt a powerful urge to grab her and throw her on her back. He had promised her she could control the situation so he closed his eyes to fight it back. When they opened again she had thrown her shirt on the floor.

'' What's wrong? You don't like what you're seeing?'' Kenna teased. She had felt his member stiffen when her shirt was almost unbuttoned. Jack heard the teasing in her voice and growled.

'' Ye'll be sorry when me turn comes…''

'' Looking forward to it,'' she grinned. She pressed her body against his member before raising herself off him to unbutton her breeches. She threw her boots and breeches on the floor beside his and slowly straddled him again. She rubbed her body against his, feeling her own arousal growing with every second. This was as far as she had gone. Jack, sensing her sudden confusion, decided to help her.

'' Luv, I don't mean ta undermine yer power but I think ye should let me help ye with what comes next.'' He saw the frustration build up in her eyes and quickly added. '' I'll let ye have the control back as soon as ye've got the hang of things.''

She took some time to think about it. '' All right. Don't take this as a sign of weakness though.''

'' Wouldn't dream of it,'' he said with a smile. He brushed a strand of hair from her face and pulled her down for a soft kiss.

'' So what should I do now?'' she said, feeling her sex appeal fade. Jack grabbed her by the waist and flipped her over so she was now lying on her back.

'' It's all right honey, ye're still beautiful.'' He kissed her passionately.'' Ye don't have ta be embarrassed.'' She gave him a surprised look and he chuckled. '' Ye're not the first virgin I've had. Yer inexperience doesn't put me off.'' He captured her lips again, enjoying the feeling of his body pressed against hers. He wanted to do so many things to her, but this was her night and he had to honour it.

'' This will hurt a little, but don't worry, it'll fade soon.'' She nodded quickly and he repositioned himself by her opening. He slowly pushed forward, feeling her walls clench around his member. He waited until she had relaxed and drew himself out before he pushed himself a little further inside again. Her face twisted in agony and he whispered soothing words in her ear.

'' Almost there luv…just try and relax.'' He kissed her and continued his ministrations. Slowly he felt her walls unclenching and soon he could move freely inside of her. Her face softened up and soft moans escaped her lips.

'' Good girl…it won't hurt this bad again,'' he whispered against her neck. '' Do ye want ta take the control back?''

'' Yes…yes, I would very much want that.''

It took a great effort for him to allow her to take over, but he loved her and wanted to do everything to make her happy. He slowly flipped them around so she was now on top.

'' I think ye know what ta do now.''

She nodded her head and started to slowly rock herself on his member. He felt so much better from this angle, filling her up completely. There was no time to feel embarrassed, this felt too natural. Slowly her movements began to quicken as her moans became louder. Jack had never seen anything so beautiful. Her face so angelic with pleasure and he could swear she was glowing! The way she rode him was something he had never experienced before. He had never felt so used, and never thought it would feel so good. Having slept with numerous women he had never allowed them to ride him. He always had the upper hand. He didn't know what it was about her that made him so easily submissive to her and he really didn't care. He didn't have to be all high and mighty for her, she understood him and excepted him as he was. He could be himself around her.

Kenna felt her arousal nearing her peak and shouted his name as she went over the edge. Jack felt her walls tighten around his member and followed soon after. She lay down on his chest to catch her breath, hearing his heart pounding beneath his ribs. Jack rolled them onto their side, pulling himself out of her. He embraced her lovingly and kissed her hair.

'' Ye were great luv…I've never experienced anythin' like it,'' he said in between breaths.

'' Yeah, this was…interesting,'' she replied out of breath.

'' Wouldn't mind repeatin' it another day,'' he said with a grin. She just laughed.

'' You are a sick man, Jack. Can't you think of anything else?''

'' Not around ye, luv. Ye drive me crazy.'' He captured her lips in a soft yet passionate kiss.

'' I think I better be going now. You need to sleep.'' She started to get up from the bed but he pulled her back down.

'' No, ye can't leave. I did what ye told me ta do.''

'' Yes you did, but then you went against my wishes and had sex with me after I told you we shouldn't.''

'' I can't see ye had anythin' against that. Ye could have stopped me if ye were so concerned about me health.''

'' No I couldn't have, we both know that.''

'' Stop tryin' ta find a way ta spend the night in yer own cabin. What are ye tryin' ta prove?''

She took a deep breath and thought about it for a minute. Then her face lit up in a smile. '' That you are incapable of being without me.''

'' No need ta play games, I could have told ye that meself,'' Jack replied as he pulled her down to him. '' I can't live without ye so don't make me life miserable by sayin' things like that.''

Kenna laughed. '' You are not the pirate I thought you were. Where is the cold blooded fearsome pirate that everyone fear?''

'' This is just a disguise. When the right time comes it will come ta the surface and kill everyone in its way,'' Jack said with a grin and kissed her.

'' Can you talk yourself out of any situation?'' she said with a laugh as she returned the kiss.

'' Pretty much, yeah,'' he grinned against her lips.

Author's notes: So what do you think? Christian is being his stubborn self as always and Kenna's father seems to have convinced her to tell Jack about her true identity. But will she tell him? Please read and review and tell me all your thoughts about the story:-D
