The crew watched on in silence as Eiven continued, without mercy, to give Jack his lashes. Very rarely did he ever give out the punishments he dictated but this was personal to him. Not only had this man disobeyed a direct order, he had also tried to touch what was now Eiven's. That kind of disrespect couldn't be tolerated. Once the last lash had been given, Eiven held his whip out for Felix to take. Eiven stalked up behind Jack who was still tied to the mast.
"If you ever touch her again, I'm going to gut you like a fish and make you eat your intestines." Eiven said to where only Jack could hear.
With that being said Eiven turned on his heels and went to go collect the shell shocked Ember from the ships wheel.

Ember looked up over her knees at the direction the footsteps were coming from, and just as she had guessed Eiven was here. He stopped walking just in front of her and held out his hand looking down at her expectantly. Having an internal battle with herself on whether or not to grab his hand, logic won out over her pride and she allowed him to help her up.
As he lead her down the stairs she didn't dare look up or even remotely in Jack's direction, but she could feel his glare boring into her skin along with the other crews inquisitive gazes. Once they reached Eiven's quarters he lead her in the room but instead of leaving started pacing in the center of the room. Ember just stood in the corner of the room, watching him pace back and forth.
"What did he do to you Ember?" Eiven finally asked with a sigh.
"What does it matter to you?" she hissed.
Eiven just sighed again and looked at her before taking the few steps across the room to meet her. Once he stood directly in front of her he brushed his fingers against her cheek. The gentleness of the act confused Ember but she closed her eyes in enjoyment at the contact.
"I may have kidnapped you Ember but that doesn't mean I want bad things to happen to you." Eiven said dropping his head to hers and brushing his lips against hers.
Embers mind was clouded with something she had never felt before, but it was something that overpowered her logic. She certainly wouldn't have been kissing him back if she had her wits about her. But her body was working against her, she brought one of her hands up to tangle them in his hair and the other hand to latch onto the back of his neck. As soon as it started Eiven broke the kiss. His eyes s ere clouded with want as he looked down at her. Without another word he swiftly left the room, leaving Ember frustrated with herself.
