A Pirate's Love

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

               Jack passed Will's study and saw Madeline sitting at his desk writing.  He didn't say a word to her as he strode in.  She watched as he took a bottle of rum from the bar and left as quickly as he came in.  She didn't move.  Until she heard the front door slam she jumped in her seat.  She loved this man.  More than anything.  And it appeared that he was hurting as much as she was.  But could she tell him the truth about so many things?  He would probably hate her.  And that's why she needed to do what she was about to do.  She stood up and gathered the notes that she had written.  One she handed to a servant to be delivered to her ship.  The other was for JJ and the last for Elizabeth and Will.

               She went to her room and gathered her belongings.  And then she sat down on her bed.  She could hear doors closing throughout the house.  She got up and went to her window.  The moon was full and illuminated the garden below.  She didn't have to strain her eyes.  She knew Jack was down there.

               "Bloody pirate." She said before hurrying down the backstairs and out to the garden.

               Jack knew she would come.  No matter how angry she was, she couldn't resist him.  He heard the rustle of her skirts as she approached.  She sensed him.   She knew he was near.  And her skin tingled at the thought.

               "Jack?" she said in a loud whisper.

               "Aye love.  I'm here." He said.   Madeline searched for him, but she couldn't immediately see him.  She shrieked when his arm snaked out and grabbed her around the waist.  "Who were the notes to love?" he asked.  His breath hot on her skin.

               "Why does it matter Jack?" she said.  Her hands on his shoulders.  At the moment, she didn't care about the rest of the world.  If she could have Jack in her arms just once more, then so be it.

               "It matters to me Maddy.  What are you scared of?"

               "I'm not scared of anything Jack."  The moon reflected off of their faces.

               "You're lyin' love.  You should know better than to lie to Jack Sparrow." 

               "Jack, let's just take tonight for what it is.  Nothing more.  Nothing less."  She reached up to caress his face and he caught her hand in his.  He brought it to his lips and slowly kissed her palm.  His lips moved up her bare arm.  Jack pulled her into his arms and gently lay her down on the cool ground.  His lips made a trail from her arm to her chest.  Where her breasts seemed strained against her dress.

               "Jack, please!" she pleaded with him.

               "Tell me love.  Tell me what you want." He said before taking her lips with his.  Driving his tongue deep inside.  Not holding anything back.  The force of desire was so strong in Madeline that she held nothing back.  She matched him, kiss for kiss.  Touch for touch.

               Jack glanced up at the house and saw that most of the lights were either out or dimmed.  He stood up, pulling Madeline against him.

               "Let's go inside love.  I'm going to make love to you."  Madeline let him lead her.  Stopping every few seconds to steal a kiss.  By the time they reached her room, Jack's shirt was unbuttoned and Madeline's dress was down to her waist.  Jack backed her into her room, his lips never leaving hers.  He kicked the door shut and locked it.  There was a fire burning in the hearth.  There was no need for any other lights.  He moved her to the bed and gently lay her down.  He reached down and pulled out his knife.

               "Jack!" Madeline gasped.  Then laughed when Jack cut the ribbons on the front of her corset.  He threw it on the ground and quickly divested her of the rest of her clothes until she lay naked beneath him.

               "After tonight, you will never forget who loves you Maddy."  He captured her lips once again in a searing kiss, leaving her breathless.
