ManEater

A/N: Hey everyone! As promised, here is another chapter! I didn't take too long this time. I hope you all enjoy this chapter better than the last one! This chapter is a little different from the one posted on fanfiction.net...for those of you who also read it there. There is a little more naughtiness added in here too. Before I get to the story, I would like to address 2 of my lovely readers Ladybird and Captain's assistant. Thank you so much for paying great detail to my fic. If you recall in chapter 7, Elizabeth left a brooch in Jack's cabin. Will found it and gave it back to her in chapter 8. Elizabeth ALSO left her necklace in Jack's cabin...in his bed in chapter 11. So that is where Jack got the necklace. Please go back and skim through chapter 7, 8, and 11 if you are still confused or don't believe me. And yes I do pay very close attention to detail in my fic. So...enough about that. There is the mystery of where the necklace came from. I just hope that this clears it up for anyone else. And please, if you have skipped any of my chapters, you will miss out on specific details that are in this fic. So if you all really love this fic, please do not skip chapters and then ask me questions and say that I didn't pay attention to my own story when in reality it was the reader. So, enough about that confusion...enjoy the story! Love you all...Even my toughest critics!

Jack Sparrow

The next night…

I’d finally arrived back into town…safe and sound, but unfortunately sober. I’d only anticipated on being gone for only one day. But somehow, time had escaped me, and I’d allowed myself to be gone for four days. Lizzie must be going mad worrying about me. I believe that it was necessary for me to be gone for so long. I was able to do a lot of self reflection, not to mention, some much needed self indulgence. I had to briefly separate myself from my situation with Elizabeth, which only made me miss her even more.

During my entire journey, I couldn’t help but to think about her. I believe that I was prompted to leave to buy her a magnificent gift. I had the jeweler cut a piece of the sapphire stone on my ring. He cut it into tiny pieces and somehow fused each piece along the outline of the heart charm. He then shaped one piece into a heart and fused it inside the charm. Lizzie's gift set me back a few shillings, but she was well worth it. I removed the box that contained her necklace from inside my pocket and opened it. I took out her heart shaped necklace and opened the charm. The reason I had the stone shaped into a blue heart was because it represented the sea, and I knew she loved the sea as much as I did. Perhaps she’ll love her new necklace, for I knew that I was taking a great risk by giving this to her. I won't give her the necklace just yet...I'll wait for the opportune moment.

I’d discovered something about myself that nearly frightened me. I never knew that I would be so foolish as to do anything out of love. I’d never thought that I possessed such eunuchy characteristics. I would never take a journey for any woman, not unless it was going to benefit me in the end. Lizzie has proven herself to be worth the trouble, even though she’d betrayed me twice and left me to be eaten by a smelly, deplorable monster. I would still do anything for her, even sail the seven seas a thousand times over if she wanted me to...

On my way back to the Pearl, I decided to stop by the pub. I was in dire need of some rum. Four days without the precious liquid is very detrimental to my health. I’m surprised that I’d even survived this long without it. Soon as I stepped foot inside the pub, I was immediately greeted by two absolutely beautiful women. They both propositioned me, begging me to go with them upstairs to have some adult fun. I quickly declined their offer, for I was not interested in being in the company of other women besides Lizzie. I walked away from them and grabbed a bottle of rum from the barmaid. I then sat at a table in the back, just in case any more women wanted to solicit sex to me.

An hour passed. I was growing bored and slightly tired. Just as I was about to get up and leave, I’d noticed a familiar person sitting at a table far across the room. It was Will. From the gloomy expression on his not so handsome face, he seemed to be bothered, or maybe even angry about something. Perhaps he and Elizabeth had a little lover’s quarrel. I’d noticed that ever since we’ve been on this long journey, Will’s demeanor had somewhat changed. Maybe life on the high seas has hardened the young lad, forcing him to become the pirate he’d tried to repress for so long. I was about to go over and greet him, but I stopped in my tracks when I saw a fair haired, beautiful woman join him at his table.

“That’s not Lizzie…” I whispered with a cunning smile. I ordered another bottle of rum and sat back down to relax, watching Will and this new mystery woman interact with each other. An amused smile crept upon my face as I watched how the woman aggressively flirted with the whelp. Will blushed and to my great surprise, he shamelessly flirted back with her. He'd allowed her to caress his face and sit on his lap. He did not resist her flirtations, or even stop her from touching him in unmentionable places. They spoke for a very long time. They were so preoccupied with each other that they were completely oblivious to their surroundings. I decided to leave, for I was tired and I desperately wanted to see my Lizzie.

On the way back to the Pearl, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I’d witnessed in the pub. It was hilarious to me. Of course, I won’t tell Lizzie that she has a duplicitous fiancé. It’s not my business to tell and besides, I don’t want to become more involved in their relationship than I already am. When I’d finally reached the Pearl, I headed towards Lizzie’s cabin. I was about to go inside, but was disappointed to see that the room was dark, which meant that she was asleep. I was tempted to go inside, just to watch her sleep, but instead, I decided to go to my cabin to get some much needed rest.

“Until tomorrow, love...” I whispered into the darkness as I drifted off to sleep.

Elizabeth

The next day late evening…

After being gone for a few hours, Will returned to my cabin very late last night. He’d awakened me out of my sleep to talk. I was very reluctant to speak to him in the beginning, for I was still very angry about what he’d said to me. His words were true to a certain degree, but I did not appreciate how he’d walked away, leaving me alone in tears on the beach. He apologized for everything he’d said and vowed never to do it again. The whole time he spoke, I noticed something very peculiar about his body language. He seemed very tense, and whenever we’d make eye contact, he’d quickly turn away from me. That was something he’d never done before. We spoke until dawn this morning about everything, except the one thing that was very important to him…our wedding. I figured that he had probably realized that this was not the time to discuss that matter...yet. He knew that it would lead to another argument. As we cuddled in bed, preparing to fall asleep, he whispered something very endearing into my ear.

“I will never walk away from you ever again…”

He then kissed my cheek and held me closer to his body. My heart tensed with guilt at his words, for little did he know, I’d already walked away from him, and away from our future…

That was last night…now I’m standing on the beach watching the sun set over the horizon. I’ve spent the entire day alone, sulking…thinking about Jack and feeling more angry than sad about his absence. I was very angry that he’d disappeared without saying goodbye…pissed that he was a coward. How could he do this to me? Perhaps I was wrong about him? I was foolish to trust him. As I stood on the beach, nearly overwhelmed with tears, an indescribable feeling came over me. It felt as if something was urging me to go. As I walked towards the Pearl, the feeling grew stronger. I walked onto the deck and passed Jack’s cabin. I noticed a small glimmer of light coming from inside.

Immediately, my heart pounded faster in my chest. I knew Jack had finally returned. I quickly ran over to his quarters and flung open the door, only to find that the room was empty. I looked over to the right by the entrance and noticed that his coat and effects were not hanging on the coat rack. I was just about to turn around and leave, until something forced me to stay. I closed the door and walked further inside. When I walked past Jack’s bed, fond memories of what we did there flooded my mind, sending desire throughout my body. I walked over to the desk and noticed that there was a full bottle of rum sitting on it.

“He must be here…he has to be…” I whispered. I picked up the bottle and placed it to my lips. Just when I was about to take a sip, I heard an all too familiar voice behind me.

“You know it’s not very nice to drink the Capn’s rum, love.”

I immediately turned around, nearly dropping the bottle, to find Jack standing at the door. He looked absolutely breathtaking. He flashed his infamous golden grin, all the while staring me down with those damn beautiful, dark eyes. I’d almost forgotten that I was infuriated with him. He took off his coat and effects, gently placing them on the coat rack beside him. He walked towards my direction and stood right in front of me…mere inches away from my body. I wanted to grab him into a passionate kiss, but difficult as it was, I had to restrain myself and resist his charms.

“Missed me, love?” He asked as he secretly took the rum bottle out of my hand.

He took a swig from the bottle while staring into my eyes. I was lost in his gaze, but quickly remembered that I was still angry with him.

“Where have you been, Jack? Do you realize that you’ve been gone for four days?”

“Technically three and a half. Ya can’t count the night that I left ‘cause it wasn’t daylight.” He replied with a knowing grin.

I wanted to slap that pompous smirk right off of his face. Sensing that he was about to be struck, he casually walked over to his desk and sat down, placing his feet on top of the desk.

“Jack you have absolutely no idea how very angry I with you! Do you know that I’ve been worried sick about you?! I thought that you had been kidnapped or maybe you were lying dead in a shallow grave somewhere!”

“Don’t forget that I could’ve been brutally beaten or punched in the bloody eye again…” He replied smugly.

“Jack I’m serious! This is no time to make jokes about your disappearance!” I exclaimed as tears forced themselves out of my eyes.

Jack turned his gaze away from me as he sat in silence. He took a few swigs of rum from his bottle and stared at me blankly. I was growing angrier with his nonchalant behavior.

“Well Jack, aren’t you going to explain yourself?”

“I don’t know if I can fully explain the explanation of me actions.”

“Why can’t you explain, Jack?” I was feeling quite outraged and confused at this moment.

“Because you wouldn’t understand, Elizabeth.”

“Why wouldn’t I understand, Jack? I do not fully comprehend what you’re trying to say.”

“Exactly…” He replied sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes and leaned onto the desk, eyeing this infuriating pirate contemptuously.

“Jack…”

He sighed in reluctance, placing the rum bottle onto the desk.

“Alright, alright…I’ll tell you. Love, the first thing you must understand is that there comes a time when one must answer his call to leave…”

I looked at him confusedly. “What? You’re not making any sense at all with your vague answer, Jack. That still does not explain your reason for leaving.”

His smile turned into a serious frown as he stood up and walked closer to me.

“I had to leave, Elizabeth. I needed to get away for a while…I had to think about life and take care of some personal business.”

I stepped closer to him, staring into his kohl lined eyes.

“Why couldn’t you’ve just told me? You could have met me out on deck at dawn and told me.”

“I know, I know…but I couldn’t wait until daybreak. My urge to leave came suddenly and it was too strong for me to ignore.”

I lowered my head as tears began flowing down my cheeks. “You didn’t have the decency to say goodbye…”

He cupped my face, wiping my tears away with his thumbs.

“To tell you the God’s honest truth darling, I didn’t know that I was leaving. I was just hit with the sudden urge to go. I can’t fully explain it. I wanted to say goodbye, but it was just too painful. I could never say goodbye to you.”

My heart melted from his endearing words. He rested his forehead against mine as we helplessly gazed into each other’s eyes.

“You weren’t there to watch the sunrise with me, Jack. I had to watch it alone.”

He smiled and kissed my forehead. “No love, I did watch the sunrise with you, even though we were miles apart.”

I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him. I rested my head against his chest and inhaled his spicy scent. Immediately, my knees began to weaken, for I thought I'd never have this chance with him again . We held each other firmly for a few more moments. I realized that I was falling deeper in love with him, for I felt my heart fluttering even more. I suddenly remembered that I had his sash, so I broke away from his embrace. I needed to remove the fabric from a very unlikely place. When I slowly rolled up my dress, I noticed that Jack’s eyes were sparkling with intrigue.

“Getting naked already, love?” He asked seductively.

I smiled while placing my foot on the chair and rolled up my dress even further.

“No, there’s something that I have of yours that I need to return.”

Jack stepped closer to me. “Oh? I wonder what it could possibly be.”

I was finally able to pull my dress up higher to untie his sash from around my right thigh. Jack watched me very intently as I slowly unwound the cloth. I handed it to him and lowered my leg from the chair.

“You forgot this in my cabin.”

He smiled and took the sash out of my hand. “Thank you…I knew that I’d left something behind in your quarters…besides you, of course.”

He traced my lips with his fingers and leaned in closer to my face.

“Do you happen to have anything else hidden underneath your dress, Ms. Swann?”

He was obviously trying to woo me with his charming antics. I was still quite angry with him, but I relinquished my defenses against him. He lifted my chin, lowering his lips closer to mine. Just as he was about to kiss me, I stepped away from him. He frowned disappointedly.

“No…and if you don’t mind, I must retire back to my cabin now. I am still quite angry with you. I will not allow your charms to have any affect on me...”

I turned around to leave, but before I could take two steps, Jack quickly grabbed my waist and held me firmly against his body.

“Please don’t go…I’ve spent nearly four days without you…I can’t watch you walk away from me. Please…let me make it up to you.” He whispered seductively into my ear.

His words struck my heart. I didn’t want to leave him. In fact, I couldn’t. I just wanted him to see how his absence hurt me…nearly destroying my soul. I knew now that I had the upper hand, and I was going to use it to my full advantage...

“How can you mend a broken heart, Jack? What could you possibly do to make it up to me?”

He nuzzled his face in between my neck and shoulder, and whispered into my ear. “Whatever you want me to do, love. I’ll do anything you ask.”

My heart raced as I placed my hands on top of his. In response, he held me more firmly against his body.

“I’ve thought about you endlessly the whole time I was away, love. I kept thinking about what we did a few nights ago in your cabin. I didn’t want that night to end.” He kissed my neck, causing me to moan.

“I wished that I could’ve taken my sweet time making love to you. I wanted to explore every part of your body, kiss you in very naughty places. I've missed making you moan in ecstasy.”

His hands slowly moved from my waist up to my breasts, causing my need for him to intensify. My anger towards him quickly subsided, and I finally gave in to his irresistible seduction.

“Jack…you didn’t have to leave me. Words can’t express how much I’ve missed you…”

He massaged my waist. “I know love…and I’m truly very sorry for upsetting you. Just let me make it up to you.” His hands secretly moved towards my breasts again, caressing them.

“I’ve been yearning for your body for the past few days. I’ve been planning to do everything I've always wanted to do to you as soon as I returned. You have no idea what I had to do to keep sane.”

He then began to secretly untie my corset with his nimble fingers as he continues to speak seductively into my ear.

“What did you have to do to keep sane?” I whispered as he removed my dress from off of my shoulders.

“Let’s just say I had to relieve meself from a persistent pain in a very delicate area. I had to do that every time I thought about fucking you.”

He moved my dress down to my waist, which now left me topless. He slowly moved his hands along my sides...kissing my shoulders and massaging my breasts. I nearly collapsed in his arms.

“Oh Jack…”

“You’re so soft, Lizzie…I’ve missed the way your skin feels beneath my fingertips.” He whispered huskily into my ear. He then pushed my dress down from my waist until it fell onto the floor. When he pressed his body against mine, I could feel his need growing inside his trousers. My body began burning with more desire.

"You know, Lizzie...I've wanted to do something to you that night we were intimate."

"What did you want to do to me, Jack?" I whispered breathlessly as his hands traveled all over my body.

"I wanted to pleasure you Lizzie...I wanted to kiss you all over your body. I miss the way you taste."

His hands traveled down to my abdomen…inching closer to my center. “I want to taste you right here.”

I immediately shuddered, for the thought of him performing such a risqué act on me once again exhilarated me.

“Let me make it up to you, love…let me pleasure you…I want to pleasure you with my tongue.”

One of his hands rested on top of my center.

“Can I make it up to you Ms. Swann? Let me taste you with my tongue right here…as I’ve done countless times before.”

My breath hitched. “Yes…you can do whatever the hell you want to me, Jack.”

He held me firmly against his body and caressed my breasts. He then placed two of his fingers inside my center and slowly rubbed on my delicate nub.

“Oh God Jack…you’re such a cruel man.”

He chuckled and continued with his ministrations. “I need you Lizzie…you’re making it very difficult for me to control myself.”

After a few moments, he removed his fingers from inside me and caressed my breasts.

“Your heart’s racing Elizabeth…is it because of me?”

“Yes…my heart has always raced for you…and it will until the day I die.”

He turned me around to face him. He cupped my face and lowered his lips closer to mine.

“My heart has done the same because of you, love…”

He kissed me passionately. I was so foregone that I didn’t realize that that he’d carried me over to the bed and sat me down. When our lips parted, I looked up at him as he stood in front of me with his ethereal beauty. He looked at me quietly for a few moments with a serious frown. I thought that something was wrong until he flashed a devilish grin.

“You are so beautiful, Elizabeth.” He replied huskily as he began removing his clothes.

As he stood naked in front of me, I couldn't take my eyes off of his body. He was even more magnificent this way. His body seemed to glow even when there was hardly any light in the room. I watched him very intently as he sauntered over and sat down next to me. I didn't realize that I was staring at his lower half for so long until he lifted my chin and smiled.

"See something you like, Miss Swann?" He said huskily as his eyes gleamed with mischief and desire.

I couldn't answer him, for my heart was racing even more. He cupped my face and leaned in closer to me.

“Kiss me.” He commanded in a whisper. I cupped his face and kissed him passionately.

While our lips were locked in a kiss, I felt one of his hands part my thighs. He secretly slipped two fingers inside me again. I moaned against his lips. I then secretly moved one of my hands and touched the tip of his erect member. Jack broke away from my lips and glared at me. I could see hunger in his dark, beautiful eyes. He then kissed me feverishly again as he deepened his fingers inside me. It felt so incredible that tears of happiness began to stream down my face. I was finally in the arms of my Captain again…and I will never to let him out of my sight.
