The Fine Line Between Legends And Lies

Chapter 37:

A/N: Okay there will be a little bit of J/E smut in this chapter. Then it will jump forward a few days into their stay in Port Royal…when Elizabeth overhears her father’s intentions to see Jack hanged. Please read and review, I love the comments on my writing!

Jack lead Elizabeth back towards the mansion taking her around the back of the estate. At the back of the estate the hill sloped down gently until it met the white sanded beachfront in a small private little cove. Smiling Elizabeth allowed Jack to take her down to the beach.

“What are you up to Jack Sparrow?”

“Jus’ want some time alone with me wife that’s all.”

“Uh huh….so then what are we doing down here on the beach?”

“Figured we could go for a little swim….jus’ the two of us darling.”

She felt the familiar heat starting to pool in her lower belly when Jack grinned at her. Jack stepped out of his boots and coat placing them on the sand. His fingers easily unfastened the buttons on his vest before shrugging it off his broad shoulders to let it fall to the ground to join his coat and boots. Jack tugged his shirt off and tossed it to the ground as well before unfastening the sash that was tied about his waist. The sash floated down to land atop his other clothes that were piled up on the sand. Removing his belt that held his sword before pulling his pistol from his breeches he placed them carefully on the sand next to his clothes. Jack peeled off his socks before unfastening his breeches and tugging them down past his hips to step out of them. Now completely naked he stood before her every inch of his bronzed skin glistening in the sun. Elizabeth felt Jack’s fingers starting to unfasten the buttons along the back of her dress. Soon it became loose and began slipping from her shoulders. He pushed it down her slender arms and past her still slender waist. Turning her to face him he bent and captured a nipple between his teeth tugging at it gently making her breath catch in her throat. Releasing her nipple from his mouth he moved to lavish the same attention on her neglected breast. Elizabeth arched into him pushing her small breast into his mouth eagerly. His rough hands tugged her dress the rest of the way off and helped her to step out of it.

Elizabeth toed off her shoes while Jack suckled her nipple and pinched the other in between his fingers. Now she stood in her thin lacy shift and stockings. Jack suckled her nipple through the thin lacy material making her shiver against him. Reaching up he started to slide the thin straps of her shift off her shoulders. Elizabeth gave a soft whimper as she felt her shift being pushed down to her breasts. Only then did Jack remove his mouth from where it was fastened to her nipple. He pulled the thin lacy shift down past her breasts and to her hips where it hung carelessly. He latched onto her nipple once more making her whisper his name breathlessly. Jack’s calloused hands slid down to cup her bottom drawing her closer to him. He gripped her bottom tightly before sliding his hands back around her waist and down to dip underneath the skirt of her shift. She was vaguely aware of his fingers as they began tugging her stockings down her legs until she was stepping out of them. Then his right hand slid up between her thighs to caress her sex making her hips buck forward instantly. Running his knuckles along the length of her slit he could feel the moisture that was beginning to pool between her thighs. She wanted this….wanted him desperately. And who was he to deny her? Yanking her shift down to her ankles abruptly he dropped to his knees. Elizabeth gasped when he grabbed her right leg and hooked it over his shoulder. Jack’s mouth fastened itself to her sex quickly making her mouth fall open as a moan tore from the back of her throat. His tongue penetrated her folds deeply curling around her swollen little pearl.

Reaching up he slid a finger inside of her as he continued manipulating her body with his tongue. Elizabeth rolled her hips pushing her sex harder against Jack’s questing mouth as she pushed his hat off his head to tangle her fingers in his dreadlocks her nails scraping against his scalp. Jack groaned at the sensation of her nails raking across his scalp. She was more than ready for him to take her now. Pulling her to the sand he laid her down on his coat. Jack was laying over her pushing himself inside her before she realized it. He started moving against her quickly as if they could be caught at any moment. And she supposed it was possible they could. But she found that she didn’t care who caught them in such a compromising position. He was her husband and had every right to touch her like this. A short distance away James Norrington sat in the shallows with a spear trying to catch fish as they darted through the waters quickly in between his legs. His ears perked up at the sound of faint moans and grunts coming from a short distance to his right. Deciding to check out what the source of the sounds were he pushed up from his knees and walked out of the water onto the warm white sanded beach. Walking quietly he approached the medium sized dune and started to climb it. Reaching the top of it he stopped short when he saw what had been the cause of the noise. There sprawled out on his jacket in the sand was Jack and Elizabeth. And they were making love as if they were the only two people around.

Turning away James stopped short when he heard Elizabeth cry out Jack’s name wantonly. He turned back around and crouched down to continue watching the two as they made love on the beach. Jack lay over top Elizabeth with her legs wrapped tightly about his waist as he thrust deeply into her. James could see Elizabeth’s small perky breasts as they bounced with the force of Jack’s thrusts into her. Feeling his cock starting to harden he groaned. As Jack pulled out of Elizabeth and laid on his back for her to climb astride him James reached down and unfastened his breeches. Pulling his engorged cock from his breeches he began slowly pumping it against his hand as he watched Elizabeth as she rode atop Jack her tawny hair starting to come loose from the French twist it had been fashioned into. Her breasts bounced as she rode him her head tilted back his name falling from her lips in a soft chant. James pumped his cock faster as the two moved against each other. And then the high keening cry of Jack’s name as Elizabeth climaxed pierced the air around them. Grunting James felt his cock pulse as his seed spewed out to hit the sand in thick white spurts. Putting his now flaccid cock back in his breeches he stood and walked back down the dune away from Jack and Elizabeth. Elizabeth rocked against Jack whimpering as her climax tore through her body scorching her insides like liquid fire. Jack grunted her name as he pushed his hips upward forcing his cock deeply inside of her. His cock pulsed as his seed spilled inside her filling her completely before dribbling back out to coat his cock and run down his balls and in between the cheeks of his bottom. The two shuddered before collapsing against each other.

“Oh Jack!”

“Love…..it jus’ keeps getting better every time we do that. Now get up…let’s have a swim t’ wash off. Savvy?”

She nodded and climbed off him making his cock slip from her slippery entrance. Elizabeth walked on wobbly legs down to the water’s edge. She carefully walked into the warm sapphire water beckoning for Jack to join her. He ran into the water not seeming to mind his nakedness at all. They waded out into the water until it reached their waist. Jack drew Elizabeth into his arms as they sat there floating in the water.

“Jack I love you.”

“I love ye too darling.”

“No I really love you…..I don’t ever want to be without you.”

“An’ ye won’t. Love what’s all this bout anyway?”

“You just mean so much to me Jack and it took so long for us to be together. I wasted so much time trying to convince myself that I wasn’t in love with you.”

“Aye…but we’re past that now. C’mon let’s get back t’ the mansion before yer dad sends out the Royal Navy t’ find ye again.”

Elizabeth giggled before letting Jack carry her back to the shore. They sat on a couple of large rocks to dry off before getting dressed. Elizabeth quickly pulled on her stockings and then her shift before turning to watch her husband get dressed. He was absolutely beautiful to her. She couldn’t imagine being married to anyone else but him. Puling on her dress she looked over her shoulder to call to Jack.

“Jack?”

“Hmmm?”

“Button me up?”

“I rather like unbuttoning ye Izzy…but I suppose I should help since I helped ye out of it.”

“Thank you.”

Jack quickly buttoned up the back of his wife’s dress before putting on the rest of his clothes. Once they had finished dressing they hurried back to the mansion. They spent the rest of the day wandering around the grounds of the mansion before it was time for dinner. After dinner they sat in the parlor and drank tea wile visiting with Governor Swann before heading upstairs to bed.

It had been nearly a week since they had arrived in Port Royal and Jack was finding it maddening that Elizabeth still didn’t have the urge to leave. He was on the brink of going stir crazy if they didn’t get back out to open sea again soon. Jack had gotten up early that morning since he hadn’t been able to sleep for very long. Finally growing tired of just watching Elizabeth sleep he had woken her up to make love. After they had finished Elizabeth had fallen back asleep and Jack had gotten dressed. Once dressed he headed down to the harbor to see what the crew was up to onboard the Pearl. Hours went by until it was around noon and Elizabeth finally woke up. Reaching out her hand met the cold mattress where she had expected to feel the warm skin of her husband’s chest. Rubbing her eyes she looked around to see that she was alone in the room. Climbing out of bed she strode over to the closet and got her blue robe. Pulling it on she walked over to the cradle to find Jacob wasn’t in it. Kate or Estella must have him. Yawning Elizabeth walked out of her room and down the hallway. She could hear voices coming from her father’s study. Tiptoeing over to the doorway she peeked cautiously around the door. Inside the study was her father and James Norrington. Not wanting to be seen she ducked back out into the hallway and leaned against the wall to listen to what they were talking about.

“You’re certain it was Elizabeth that you saw on the beach a few days ago?”

“Yes sir…I had been spear fishing and I heard moaning.”

“Moaning you say?”

“Yes….so I went to investigate and that’s when I happened upon them.”

“And what exactly did you see them doing Commodore Norrington?”

“They were…..well they were…….fornicating sir.”

“Fornicating? Out in the open where anyone could see them?”

“Yes sir.”

“That man is a scoundrel and I’ve tolerated quite enough of his relationship with my daughter!”

“What do you plan on doing sir? He is her husband and you’ve granted him a full pardon.”

“I did. But just as sure as I granted that pardon I can revoke it.”

“You mean…..”

“Yes….Commodore Norrington, I intend on seeing Jack Sparrow dangling from the end of a rope at the gallows. He is well overdue for a sudden drop and a short stop.”

“So you’re going to have him hanged then? What about Elizabeth? She will never forgive you for killing him. She loves him.”

“Yes and she will learn to love someone else. Before the end of the month Jack Sparrow will hang.”

Placing her hand over her mouth she hurried back to her room. Tears stung her eyes as she quickly pulled on her men’s clothing. They had to leave and they had to leave now. Jack wasn’t safe here. Clenching her fists she cast a glare back towards her father’s study. She couldn’t believe that her father intended to go back on the promise that he had made to her. Kate came into the room carrying Jacob.

“Miss Elizabeth?”

“Give me my son Kate…I have to go.”

“Shall I tell your father?”

“No….don’t say anything to my father. He can’t know that I’m leaving. Do you understand me Kate?”

“Yes Miss Elizabeth…I won’t say a word I promise.”

“Thank you…now go.”

Kate nodded and left Elizabeth alone shutting the door behind her. Elizabeth walked over to the French doors in her room and opened one of them to walk out onto the terrace. Shutting the door quietly behind her she walked down the stone staircase and headed down towards the pier. Jack had to be on the Pearl. She walked briskly through the streets of Port Royal until she reached the pier. Stepping into the pier she broke into a run. Holding Jacob tightly to her chest she ran down the pier until she finally reached end of it where the Black Pearl was docked. Breathless she climbed up the gangplank onto the ship. She found Jack standing at the helm with Gibbs. Jack caught sight of her and waved. Elizabeth hurried up the steps onto the wheel deck and paused a moment to catch her breath before speaking.

“Jack….we have to…..we have to……go….now!”

“Love what’s the matter?”

“My father….he broke…his….promise!”

“What promise?”

“Jack…we have to go now! There’s no time to explain!”

“Love I’d like t’ know what m’ running from.”

“The hangman’s noose! Now will you give the order to weigh anchor and get the hell out of here?”

“The noose ye say? Fancy that….I thought ol’ Governor Swann an’ I were past all that.”

“Apparently not…now let’s go!”

“All hands on deck! Weigh anchor an’ set sail! I want movement now…toot sweet!”

The crew began feverishly scurrying about the ship making ready to leave Port Royal. After a few moments they were sailing out of the harbor and into the open sea. When Port Royal was nothing but a tiny dot on the horizon Elizabeth gave a deep sigh of relief. She hated to leave without telling her father goodbye but she knew that if she didn’t that she would lose her husband forever. Jack came to stand behind her slipping his arms around her waist.

“S’ alright now love….we’re safe.”

“For the moment. Until my father sends the Royal Navy after us again. And then what will we do Jack?”

“We’ll worry bout that when the time comes darling. Savvy?”

Sighing deeply she nodded and looked back at the horizon Port Royal barely even recognizable it was so far off now. She had a sickening feeling that they were never going to be safe and that they would forever be looking over their shoulders. But that was the life she had chosen to be with the man that she loved. The life of a pirate and she couldn’t very well turn back now.

A/N: Okay so once again the threat of the hangman’s noose hangs over Jack’s head! Please read and review!
