Bound By Blood

Chapter 3:

A/N: Sorry I haven’t posted a new chapter in a while, just been a little busy. But here is the latest installment so I hope you enjoy it! Please let me know what you think!

Tabby was suddenly awakened by the gentle shaking of a hand on her shoulder. Instinctively she reached for her pistol but not finding it there she sat up abruptly. Her violet eyes opened to see her father standing beside the bed. “Well yer a feisty one aren’t ye? Always on the defensive eh?”

“Sorry I guess I just was sleeping a little harder than I had intended.”

“We just made port in Tortuga darling, so if yer ready ye can get yer effects an’ be on yer way.”

“You won’t be coming ashore?”

“Nay, I have business here in Tortuga. But I brought ye here just like I promised.”

“Thank you.” Tabby stretched as she pushed back the quilt and stepped out of bed. She padded over to the table where she had left her things and began putting them back on. She stepped into her boots quickly and turned back to her father. “Are you sure you can’t come ashore?”

“I have no desire t’ run across that heathen son of mine darling.”

“Well then I suppose this is goodbye?”

“For now. But ye know where t’ find me darling, so ye can come t’ Shipwreck Cove anytime ye wish t’ visit yer old man.”

“Honestly?”

“Aye darling, don’t be a stranger. Just because I don’t have a good relationship with me son doesn’t mean that I can’t have one with me daughter.” Teague approached her and she instinctively tensed. Giving a small chuckle he threw his arms around her in an awkward hug. Tabby stood rigid in his arms for a moment not knowing how to respond before she timidly wrapped her arms around her father and squeezed him briefly. Stepping back Teague flashed her a crooked grin. “Now get outta here savvy?”

“Goodbye Teague.”

“Goodbye darling.” Placing her tricorne hat back on her head she walked out of the cabin onto the main deck and prepared to exit the ship. Teague watched from the ship’s railing as his daughter walked onto the pier and headed towards the bustling town of Tortuga. Once she had faded into the crowded streets Teague gave the orders for them to head back to Shipwreck Cove.

Tabby walked down the narrow and crowded streets of Tortuga until she came to a tavern. The sign that hung above the door read The Seaside Tavern. Thinking this was as good a place as any to have a few drinks to unwind before finding shelter for the night Tabby walked into the tavern. Upon entering she was greeted by a room full of drunken sailors, most of them undoubtedly pirates, but there was a few that looked to be honest merchant sailors. There were quite a few serving wenches scurrying about the tavern bringing mugs of rum and ale to the many patrons. She also noticed there to be a few scantily clad women hanging onto a few of the sailors, they were no doubt whores just trying to make a few schillings to survive.

Tabby approached the bar and sat down. Immediately an older woman with fiery red hair and tired looking blue eyes approached her. “What’ll it be love?”

“Rum.” Tabby paid for the mug of rum that was placed in front of her and then turned around to watch the rest of the room. A gruff voice to her left startled her a bit.

“Ye here by yer lonesome darling?”

“Yes.”

“Looking fer some company?” The way he eyed her made it obvious what kind of company he was suggesting.

“No thank you.” Turning her back to the man she turned her mug of rum up to take a long pull from it.

“Don’t turn yer back on me darling I wasn’t finished talking t’ ye.”

“Well I’m finished listening to you.”

“Oh feisty, I like that in me women.”

“Well I’m not your woman so move along.”

“Now that’s no way t’ talk t’ a gentleman missy.”

“From where I’m standing I see no gentleman. Now if you would be so kind as to leave me alone?” Tabby went to take another pull from her mug of rum when she felt the man’s hand give her bottom a firm grab. Turning around sharply she glared daggers at the man that had dared to touch her. Seeing his ridiculous grin made her even angrier. “It would be very wise for you to keep your hands to yourself if you want to keep them attached.”

“Oh is that a threat? Ye don’t scare me none little missy. Yer too pretty t’ scare anyone.” He leaned in closer as if he were about to try and kiss her. Tabby tossed the rest of her mug of rum in his face. The man howled in pain as the rum burned his eyes. Grabbing her pistol Tabby prepared to defend herself if necessary.

“You little witch!” He lunged at her but before she could fire a shot the sound of a pistol going off behind her made her jump. Her violet eyes widened as she watched the man that had been ready to attack her fall to the floor dead. Turning around she came face to face with her rescuer.

He was tall and had thick coffee colored dreadlocked hair that was adorned with various beads and trinkets. A red scarf was tied around his head and she noticed the flash of gold in his smile. “Looks like I stepped in jus’ in time eh love?”

“Um yes, thank you. Let me buy you a drink?”

“A drink? Only if the lady agrees t’ join me at me table in the corner?”

“I’d love to.” Smiling Jack offered her his arm and signaled the bar wench to bring two more mugs of rum. Tabby smiled as she took the handsome stranger’s arm and allowed him to lead her to the table. A serving wench brought over their rum and Tabby reached for her coin purse to pay but was stopped when the man’s hand came to rest over her own making her freeze.

“I’ve got it love.”

“But I owe you a drink?”

“Nonsense darling, ye owe me nothing.”

“But you saved my life?”

“Jus’ allow me the pleasure of yer company darling an’ we can call it even savvy?”

“I suppose it couldn’t hurt.” He smiled at her again making her insides tingle a it when he flashed his gold teeth.

“Now then what’s yer name love?”

“Tabby Sutton.”

“A pleasure t’ make yer acquaintance love, the name’s Captain Jack Sparrow.” He took her hand in his and placed a chaste kiss on the back of it making her pulse quicken a bit.

Jack Sparrow, now why did that name sound so familiar to her? Not being able to recall where she had heard the name she shrugged it off and allowed herself to be entertained by the handsome pirate that had rescued her. After several mugs of rum Tabby stood realizing that she was drunker than she had been in quite some time. Swaying a bit she held onto the table to steady herself. Jack stood up to offer his hand to her. “Going somewhere love?”

“I need to find a place to bunk for the night.” Tabby tried to take a few steps towards the door of the tavern but staggered and nearly tripped over her own feet. In a flash Jack had his arm wound tightly around her waist to keep her from falling.

“Easy love, yer drunk. Let me help ye.”

“I’ll be fine Jack.”

“Love yer three sheets t’ the wind. Hell maybe even four, it’s not a good idea for ye t’ be leaving here alone like this.”

“Then what do you propose I do Mr. Sparrow?”

“It’s Captain Sparrow love. Now let me walk with ye.”

“Thank you Captain Sparrow, that’s very sweet of you.” Smiling at her Jack started towards the door holding her closely to his side to keep her from falling. Once out of the smoky tavern the night air felt cool and refreshing on her face. “You really don’t have to go to all the trouble of walking me to an inn Jack.”

“Nonsense. Love it’s a mite late for ye t’ find any room at any inns. I’m afraid they’ve already closed for the night.”

“What am I going to do now then?”

“Ye can sleep in my bed.”

“Oh?”

“Yes I have a rather large bed back in me cabin on me ship.” Jack grinned at her making her giggle as he wiggled his eyebrows at her suggestively.

“A big bed sounds fantastic! Lead the way Captain Sparrow!” Tabby stumbled as they began walking down the pier towards Jack’s ship. Jack caught her around the waist and hauled her back to an upright position.

“Whoa darling, ye need t’ be careful. That could’ve been a nasty spill.”

“I’m fine.” Without warning Jack was suddenly scooping her up in his arms making her a yelp in surprise. He carried her back to the ship so that she didn’t fall and hurt herself. Once onboard the Pearl Jack ascended the steps to his captain’s quarters. He kicked open the door and closed it behind them with his foot. Jack swaggered over to the bed and dumped Tabby onto it.

“Now then let’s get these boots off yer feet savvy?”

“Uh huh.” Tabby held out her feet so that Jack could pull the boots off them easily. Placing the boots on the floor Jack leaned in towards her. Tabby drew in a sharp breath as Jack’s face hovered closely to hers.

“Let’s get rid of the hat darling an’ see that pretty face of yers.” He gently slipped the hat off her head and tossed it onto the table that was nearby. Looking down at her Jack smiled showing off his gold accented grin. “ye have the most amazing eyes I’ve ever seen love.”

“Thank you, they’re the same color that my mother’s eyes were.” Jack’s hands slid down to her waist and easily unfastened her belt. Tabby watched as he turned to place her belt that held her sword and pistol onto the table to join her hat. She watched as he removed his own hat and belt to place them on the table with her things. He stepped out of his boots carefully and then swaggered back over to the bed.

Jack climbed onto the bed to stretch out beside her. Tabby turned onto her side to look at him. He was quite possibly the most beautiful man she had ever seen. The kohl that lined his coffee colored eyes gave him an exotic look. Jack reached out to brush away a strand of hair that was threatening to fall over her eye. The feel of his calloused hand brushing against her silken skin was enough to send shivers through her entire body. Tabby leaned into his palm allowing her eyes to slip closed. She knew she was drunk but found herself not wanting their contact to end. Boldly she scooted closer to him and leaned up to place a chaste kiss on his lips. They were rough and weathered against her own soft lips. She whimpered a bit when she felt Jack’s hands come up to tangle in her thick hair to deepen the kiss. His tongue slipped into her mouth and swept over her own sending little shockwaves through her body that pooled in her lower belly making the place between her thighs begin to ache.

Tabby squeezed her thighs together to try and calm the throbbing ache that had started between her thighs but was unsuccessful. Jack’s hands left their place in her hair and slid down her back to grab her bottom. Squeezing her backside as he pulled her closer to him Jack pushed his tongue deeper into her mouth. Tabby melted into Jack’s embrace and before she realized it she was on her back with Jack laying over her. She arched into him when he pressed his hips against hers. His erection pressed against her throbbing center making it ache even more. Tabby rocked her hips roughly dragging her aching womanhood across his hard length. Jack groaned against her neck where he had been placing scorching open mouthed kisses. “Ye keep doing that love an’ yer going t’ finish things before they even get started. Savvy?”

She yanked at his shirt desperately trying to tug it off. “Need to feel your skin against mine!” Jack grinned as he raised his arms so that she could yank his shirt over his head and toss it to the floor. Tabby sat up and lifted her arms for him to strip off her shirt as well. Jack carefully removed the strip of cloth that served to bind her breasts and tossed it on the floor to join their shirts. He leaned down and sucked one of her pink nipples into his mouth making it harden instantly.

Tabby arched up forcing more of her breast into his mouth as she ground her center against his erection. “Jack, your pants.”

“What bout them love?”

“They’re in the way.”

“So they are love. I could say the same thing bout yers.”

“Take them off.”

“I love a woman that knows what she wants.” Tabby grinned up at him as he unfastened his breeches and slipped them off revealing his huge erection to her. Jack’s fingers made quick work of removing her breeches as well so that she was now just as naked as he was. “Have ye ever done this before love?”

“Yes. I’m not a virgin so you don’t have to be careful with me if that’s what you’re asking.”

“Good t’ know darling.” She gave a small whimper when she felt two of his long thick fingers penetrate her already damp center. Jack began pumping his fingers in and out of her making her dampen even more for him. Once she was practically beginning to drip he removed his fingers making her whine in protest. “Jus’ relax love, I’m replacing them with something much more better.” He took his cock in his hand and guided it to her warm wet entrance. Tabby raised her hips to welcome Jack into her tight heat her hands tangling in his dreadlocked hair as he slid inside her.

Jack pumped into her slowly at first relishing the way she clenched around his throbbing erection every time he slid in or pulled out of her. It didn’t take long before he was thrusting into her at a fast and rough pace. Tabby was moaning his name against his ear as he rocked his hips against her. He was trying to delay his climax as long as he could so that he could enjoy being buried inside her for a while longer. But when Tabby’s hands slid down his back to grab his backside all his restraint melted away. She squeezed his bottom as she pulled him closer to her making his cock sink deeper into her warm damp center. That was all it took for Jack to reach his peak. Jerking out of her quickly he grunted as he spilled his seed onto her belly. Tabby whimpered as she felt his seed hit her stomach in a warm sticky rush. He strode over to his desk and grabbed a cloth from the basin that sat on it. Jack looked up at her as he gently wiped his seed from her belly.

“Sorry bout the mess darling.”

“It’s okay, it was well worth it.” The grin she flashed at him made him chuckle as he went to put the cloth back in the basin before returning to bed.

He climbed into bed beside her pulling the quilt up over the both of them. “Well I don’t know bout ye darling, but I’m spent.”

“Yes I could sleep.” Rolling over onto her side to face him she laid her head on his bare chest. Jack absentmindedly ran his fingers through her curly coffee colored locks. As she closed her eyes she began thinking about his name again. Jack Sparrow, that name sounded oddly familiar to her and she just couldn’t seem to place where she had heard it. Yawning she decided that she would think about it when she wasn’t so exhausted.

During the course of the night Jack had awoken her twice by pressing his erection into her thigh and they made love each time he had done it. During the first rays of dawn Tabby awoke to the soft snoring of Jack. Glancing over at him she smiled as his mouth twitched in his sleep and his brow furrowed. He must have been dreaming about something unpleasant because he muttered something that made her have to bite her lip to keep from giggling. “Why is the rum always gone?”

He was dreaming about rum. She allowed her gaze to wander to the ceiling as she began thinking about his name again. ‘Jack Sparrow, Jack Sparrow, Jack Sparrow. Why is your name so familiar to me? Wait….Sparrow….hadn’t Teague told me his son’s name? What had he called him again? Jackie…….oh God in heaven, Jack was his son’s name!’ Looking back over at Jack she pulled the quilt up to her neck. It began to sink in. This was Jack Sparrow, he was Teague Sparrow’s son! Jack was her brother!

Pushing the quilt off her quickly she jumped out of the bed and began pulling on her clothes as quickly as she could. Oh God she had just slept with her brother and hadn’t just done it once! No they had slept together three times! Once dressed she stood beside the bed staring down at Jack. His coffee colored eyes fluttered open and he looked up at her groggily. Flashing a grin at her he sat up the quilt falling to his waist. “Morning love. What’s the matter ye look like ye seen a ghost?”

“Something like that.” He reached for her but she stepped back out of his reach.

“Are ye alright darling?”

“Get dressed.”

“I seem t’ remember ye liking me out of me clothes last night love.”

“Jack that shouldn’t have happened.”

“Having regrets eh?”

“Yes. But not for the reasons you might think.”

“Ye lost me love.”

“Just get dressed. There’s something I have to tell you Jack.”

“Now yer starting t’ scare me love.” He rose from the bed making her turn her head sharply at his nakedness. Jack noticed her obvious discomfort at his state of undress so he quickly pulled on his breeches. “There love all decent now.” She turned back to look at him watching as he pulled his shirt back on. “So what do ye have t’ tell me that’s so important love?”

“Jack you’re not going to believe me, but I’m quite certain that I’m your sister.”

“My what? That can’t be right love, see my dad would have had t’ have stuck around with me mum t’ have given me any sisters.”

“Tell me your father’s name Jack.” She closed her eyes hoping that she was wrong about the situation.

“His name is Teague Sparrow, why?”

“Because Teague Sparrow is my father’s name too.” Jack sank down onto the bed staring up at Tabby with wide brown eyes. “Jack you’re my brother.”

He looked at Tabby closely noticing her dark coffee colored locks and the shape of her lips that clearly resembled his own. Bloody hell she was telling the truth! Then that meant she was his sister. The realization of what they had done last night suddenly hit him. He had taken his sister to bed! And then he realized that the last time they had had sex he hadn’t pulled out when he reached his climax. It had felt too good and he was too drunk to pull out fast enough. Jack buried his face in his hands at the thought of what the consequences of his actions might lead to. What if Tabby got pregnant from their drunken tryst? This was another fine mess Jack Sparrow had gotten himself into and he had no idea how to make it right.

A/N: Talk about awkward huh? Let me know what you think!
