“You will all remember this as the day that y…”

He watched as Jack gracelessly tumbled off of the side of the cliff, noting the danger of hitting the rocks below. Nice hat? What the…?

Hearing a sigh, he turned to look at Elizabeth, her knowing look giving him wordless permission.

“Bloody hell.” Will grabbed Elizabeth’s hands, giving her his thanks with a quick kiss on her cheek. “I’m not going to even ask how you knew.”

“It was glaringly obvious. Now go, before I change my mind.” Her eyes twinkled as she released her friend’s hands.

Will rolled his eyes in a mocking gesture and in a fluid set of actions, turned and dived into the water below.

Norrington looked towards the empty space that the blacksmith had just been occupying. Mouth slightly open in shock, he turned his gaze towards Elizabeth. “What, pray-tell, is he doing?”

With a smile png ang at the corners of her mouth, Elizabeth took a step towards the commodore. “I highly doubt that he is even aware of his intentions.” Raising a brow at the man, she allowed her grin to expand. “You do realize you won’t be able to go after them just yet.”

James snapped to attention. “Why not?”

“There won’t be time, what with celebrating our engagement and such.” Though still smiling, Elizabeth blushed.

Letting the news sink in, his eyes grew wide. “Engagement? You mean…?” James watched as Elizabeth nodded.

James let a rare smile grace his lips before swaying, promptly followed by the thud of his body hitting stone.

“Jack! Throw me a length of rope!” Will had followed Jack to the Black Pearl and was now floating relatively close to the ship. However, Jack was not helping him one bit. Rather, he had almost drowned him by tossing a pile of rope on top of Will, seemingly complying with Will’s request. “That’s not what I meant and you know it! Bloody pirate! Hold on to the other end of the rope this time!”

“Not ‘til ye tell me why ye followed me.” Jack nonchalantly leaned over the side of the Pearl, talking as if over a bottle of alcohol.

“I will do so as soon as I am on the ship!” Will was angry now, the water had nearly pulled him under a few times during the conversation alone. Thinking for a moment, Will looked up towards the grinninptaiptain. “And don’t you dare leave me here!”

“Oh, all right.” Turning towards a few members of the crew, he gave them their orders. “Pull ‘im up. As for the rest of ye, get ready to set sail!”

“About bloody time,” Will murmured from below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~

Will stood facing Jack, glaring at the older man. While Will was still soaked with seawater, Jack had almost dried completely. The sun, the salt water, as well as the fact that Jack had been out of the w far far longer than he had, were all factors in this.

“To what do I be owin’ the honor of yer company?” Jack’s nearly drunken drawl floated through the breeze.

“I was taking your advice. The opportune moment and such.” Will absent mindedly waved his hand in the air in a very Jack-like manor.

“I see. Do ye wish to join me crew?” Jack saw Will smile and nod in agreement. “I’ll have te think about it.” Jack turned and walked away, probably to find something to drink. That something involving a bottle; more specifically, rum.

Will remained in his spot and watched Jack’s swaying form until the pirate could no longer be seen on deck. Scrunching his nose, he suddenly became aware of a most offending smell.

“That’d be ‘bout es close ter a yes as yer gonna get.” The source of the stench spoke, which turned out to be a rather amused Gibbs.

Will grinned. ”I highly doubt that.”

Slapping Will on the back in welcome, Gibbs sent the younger man stumbling forward, leaving William desperately trying to regain his balance.

~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~

The crew warily watched on as the toned body shone in the mid day’s sunlight. The sweat gleamed on Will’s muscular chest, his brow furrowed in concentration. “Hold still and stop complaining, or I’ll leave you there.”

“Ye wouldn’t dare.” Anna Maria glared from beneath the large piece of wood that was pinning her to the deck.

“Yes. I would.” Will worked to carefully remove the length of metal from a fallen piece of the mast. The metal was currently threatening to impanna nna Maria’s body, too close to the heart for comfort.

“I’ll be rememberin’ that when ye get me out of this mess.” Will chuckled at the seemingly harmful threat. He knew the woman wouldn’t hurt him right after he had saved her life.

Soon after, the sound of metal breaking was heard. “There we go. Now just move a little to the right.” Will tossed the bar to the side. He turned back to Anna Maria and raised a brow, “No… your other right.” He took a moment to survey the situation. “Good. Now get ready, I’m going to do this quickly.” He put his hands under Anna Maria’s arms, then planted his feet on the deck. “Ready? Now!” Pulling as hard as he could, he was able to slip the woman out from underneath the wood, which in turn had fallen further from the movement.

“Tha’ would ‘ave crushed me.” Anna Maria gave a quick nod to Will and walked away.

“You’re welcome!” Will called after her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~

Jack had called Will to his cabin, and was now waiting for the young man to arrive. Sitting at the table positioned in the center of the room, his chair was turned slightly towards the door. Will had only been on the ship for two days, but was proving to be a most worthy asset. Mmm, a worthy ass… Jack closed his eyes, remembering how his breath had hitched when Will had thrown his shirt to the side during his little ‘rescue’.

How he had longed to run his hands down that slick, tanned skin, to let his hands roam and grope, and for his tongue to…

“Jack, what are you doing?” The man who had been currently invading Jacks thoughts was now standing in the doorway of the captain’s cabin.

As Jack’s eyes flew open, he was suddenly aware of his current condition. His hand had been dangerously close to releasing his now rock hard erection from its confinement, as well as his breathing being rather heavy.

“I was thinking.” The captain was now trying to figure out a way to divert the man’s attention, with the hope of making him leave. He noticed that even the sound of Will’s voice was causing him to maintain his problem.

“I can see that. They must have been very good thoughts.” Will grinned, watching as Jack involuntarily moved his hips, causing friction between the captain’s rather blatant erection and the clothe of his breeches.

“Obviously.” He glared at the man mocking him. “Do you mind?” The captain waited for Will to leave.

“Not at all.” Instead of leaving, he moved towards Jack.

“What are you doing?” Jack’es wes were wide now, his hips still jerking, causing his wide eyes to role back every so often.

“That wasn’t an offer?” He licked his lips before reaching down and caressing the large bulge in Jack’s breeches. “In that case, I’ll be leaving.” He made one final squeeze, before removing his hand. Leaning into Jack, he breathed into the captain’s ear, “A pity really.” Standing up, Will turned to walk out the door.

Jack growled and grabbed Will’s arm. “Close the door.”

“Well of course I’d close the door on my way out.” Will made no attempt to pull away.

“No.” Jack’s eyes were clouded with need. “You stay.”

“Oh, so we are going to talk then? We haven’t had a good conversation since we arrived on the ship.” The look in Will’s eyes had become rather devious.

“Will,” the captain’s tone was full of warning.

“Yes, Jack?” The younger man had all ready kicked the door shut and was now standing directly over Jack.

“Would you?” Will could sense the fear in the older man’s voice.

Moving to straddle the captain, he once again leaned in to whisper into the man’s ear. “I’ve been trying to for the past two days.” Before Jack could fully register the confession, he felt Will’s own erection on his thigh. With questioning eyes, he moved his hands to unbutton Will’s shirt. In response to the roaming hands, Will began to slowly rock, causing their erections to rub together.

Hissing, Jack pulled Will closer to him, increasing the friction between them. In turn, Will leaned forward, nudging the captain’s head back in order to gain access to his neck. Slowly nibbling on Jack’s exposed flesh, he moved to suck the skin behind Jack’s ear.

“Will,” Jack’s voice was straining, “need more.”

Chuckling into Jack’s neck, Will’s breath sent a shiver through the man below him. Standing up slowly, he ignored Jack’s whine at the loss of contact. “Get up.”

Jack complied and was rewarded with hands moving under his loose shirt. He leaned into the touch, noting that one of those strong hands was now undoing his breeches. Without losing contact, he removed his boots, only to realize that Will had already taken off his own. Will’s tongue was now exploring the marred flesh below him, Jack’s upper body completely exposed to him. Maneuvering Jack backwards, he eased the man onto the bed.

It took little effort for Jack to slide the already open shirt off of Will’s body, yet a nearnsannsane effort not to ravage the man into oblivion right then. Jack slid his hands up Will’s arms with so much care that it seemed he feared he would break the man that was now leaning over him, slowly licking Jack’s exposed chest. Jack knew very well that the godly form on top of him was far from fragile, yet he was afraid of scaring Will away.

“Jack,” Will spoke between soft kisses, “do you plan on joining me any time soon?” Jack could feel Will’s smile on own own skin and he felt a tugging in his chest; the need to see that soft expression with his own eyes. Moving his body into a sitting position, Jack pushed Will’s chin up to allow their eyes to meet. Gently gliding his thumb over Will’s lips, he moved his hand to hold the back of Will’s neck, caressing his jaw line along the way.

“Yer not going to leave me.” The words were clear and in no way a question. Will’s eyes glowed at the declaration as he nodded his head in agreement, too overwhelmed with emotion to voice his answer. “Good.” Jack leaned in to taste the smile that had overrun Will’s features.

Jack’s hands reached down to undo Will’s breeches, brushing against the younger man’s clothed erection in the process causing soft moans that Jack was desperately trying to devour.

No sooner was Will completely undressed, than there was a loud knock at the cabin door.

“Capt’n! I know yer in there!” Both men were ready to gut Anna Maria at that moment.

“I’m a little… busy righ’ now, can it wai’?” Jack pleaded at the door with his eyes as Will sighed and nuzzled the captain’s neck.

“I ain’t waitin’ around for ye to finish yer fantasies about a certain blacksmith! Pull up yer pants an’ let open th’ door!” Will gave a short snort before resting his head on Jack’s shoulder. After a moment he lifted his head to speak.

“The captain said that he is busy right now. I can account for that. As for pulling up his pants, I haven’t gotten them down yet.” At that point it was Jack’s turn to snort.

“Oh… I’ll… be comin’ back later than… I s’ppose.” The sound of Anna Maria’s foot steps could be heard retreating rather quickly from the outside of the cabin.

“Now, where were we?” Jack inquired while moving his hands down Will’s sides, managing to squeeze the younger man’s buttocks along the way.

“I believe I was trying to remove the rest of your clothing,” Will murmured as he worked at loosening Jack’s breeches. He maneuvered Jack’s body in order to slide them off, but paused for a moment to look into the older man’s eyes. “Jack, well… there is one small problem…” Jack raised an eyebrow. “I don’t have much… experience… in this sort of… thing.”

A sudden flow of realization hit Jack. “Then what exactly were ye plannin’ on doin’?”

Will looked slightly embarrassed. “Well… I had hoped you would have been a little more… well… animate.”

Jack grinned as he kicked of his breeches before flipping the both of them over, leaving him on top. “Tha’ can be arranged.” Jack’s grin broadened as he felt Will’s tense body relax. Trailing his fingers down Will’s chest to his hips, Jack smirked as Will let out a short giggle before catching himself. “Me dear William, you sound like a woman.”

Will glared at the man on top of him, then attempted to return the tickle. Succeeding, he raised his brow defiantly and threw his arm over his forehead. “Oh Jack,” his voice high pitched in an imitation of a woman, “I have a headache, I’m not in the mood.”

The captain growled, moving a hand to give Will’s erection a swift but gentle tug, causing the younger man to arch his back. “I thou’ you didn’t ‘ave any experience.” Jack started to slowly pump Will’s cock.

“I’m… oohhh… inexperienced, not… mmmm…. ignorant.” That seemed to be the best answer Will could manage through his own moans of pleasure. “Jack… not enough…”

Jack considered all of the possible ways he could make the man beneath him scream in ecstasy. After a few moments of thought, he voiced his opinion to Will. “Ther’ are a few ways we coul’ do this. Most o’ them would be enjoyable fer at least one o’ us. Ther’ is one way, bu’ I’m no’ sure yer gote ate agree. I ‘ave te warn ye, it will ‘urt at first.” Jack continued to languidly stroke Will’s erection.

“Well? What is it then?” Will had tried to mimic Jack’s ministrations, which only resulted in the older man smacking his hand away.

“It involves me… bein’ inside o’ you.” Jack hoped he wouldn’t have to explain any more than that.

It took only a moment for the sudden look of comprehension to overcome Will’s inquiring gaze. “Oh.”

“Of course, we don’t have te be doin’ do tha’ righ’ away.” Jack spoke quickly, yet let it show that he was all right with Will declining that particular activity.

“No. I want you, Jack.” Will spoke with confidence.

Jack’s free hand reached over to the table by the side of his bed. Opening up a draw, he fumbled around, knocking over what ever wasn’t of use to him. “Ah, ‘ere we go. Yer goin’ te ‘ave te trust me wit this.” Will nodded.

“I trust you.” Jack leaned towards Will, giving him a tender kiss before opening up the small bottle he had pulled from the draw. Coating his digits in the oil, he then took the time to fully cover his erection in the slick fluid. Nudging Will’s thighs apart, he stroked the area around Will’s entrance, making sure the other man was relaxed. Slowly, he inserted the first finger, earning a short squeak from the man below.

Before Jack had a chance to comment on the noise, Will pulled Jack down to suck on the older man’s jaw, while Jack decided it was time to add another finger. Twisting the two digits, he explored the tight heat trying to find something that Will was unaware of.

“Jack, what are you doing?” Jack’s face was full of concentration.

“You’ll see.” The captain continued his exploration until he earned a loud moan as Will bucked his hips. Inserting the third finger, he made sure that Will was fully prepared.

“Are ye ready?” Jack brushed against the hidden spot inside of Will, the other man bucking in response as he moaned his permission. Pulling his fingers out of Will, Jack positioned himself between the other man’s legs. “I’m goin’ te start slow. Ye let me know if ye need te stop.” Jack gently pushed into Will, making sure not to go too deep too quickly.

Soon enough, Jack was fully inside of Will. Still trying to give the younger man time to adjust, he was relieved when Will urged him to move. Pulling out slightly, he then pushed in and continued that tediously slow pace for a time, before finally picking up speed.

Will threw his head back, voicing throaty words of encouragement. “Oh Jack, harder. Please, oohhh, Jack!” Will’s body jerked as Jack found that spot inside of him again and again.

Suddenly aware of the organ slapping against his belly, Jack removed one hand from Will’s thighs to give attention to the rock hard cock that so desperately needed release. Pumping in time to his own thrusts, Jack felt himself quickly reaching the point of climax, and from the look of the angel below him, Will wasn’t far from orgasm either.

With a loud cry of Jack’s name, Will’s essence shot out onto Jack. The clenching of his muscles causing Jack to fill him with sudden warmth accompanied by loud groans and shudders.

Both bodies went limp as Jack collapsed on top of Will. Trying desperately to slide out of the younger man and to roll to his side, Jack leisurely sucked on Will’s lower lip. Burying his face in Will’s neck and leaving a heavy arm on top of the exhausted blacksmith, Jack pulled Will closer.

“Ye said ye wouldn’t leave ye know.” Jack was close to sleep.

“Yes. I know.” Will brought up a hand to move the dreadlocks covering the other man’s eyes.

“I’m takin’ yer word on tha’.” Jack opened his eyes a crack.

“I wouldn’t trust you otherwise.” Both men stared at each other for a moment.

“I wonder when tha’ woman’s gonna come back.”

“Probably after she’s made sure the whole crew knows what we were doing for all this time.”

“Are ye sure ye can handle tha’?”

“I’d hope so. I am the one that told her, you know.”

Jack laughed, “Good point… whelp.”

“Shut up, pirate.”
