Let's Sail Away, Love

Chapter 4: Jealous?

"I will give you whatever you want just let me go." Emma pleaded for the millionth time. Hook shrugged taking a dagger from his belt and kneeled in front of her. He lifted her dress to above her knee and used his hook to hold it there. The cold metal against Emma's skin made her melt. She quickly stiffened her shoulders as he used the dagger's blade cut the ropes around her ankles. Killian reluctantly moved his hook letting her dress drop to the wooden floor.

He stood up and was hesitant on her wrists. "Now before I release you completely," he paused. She raised her eyebrows waiting for him to finish his sentence. "You have to make me a promise, love." Hook continued.

"What promise?" she squinted not sure if she should be curious or scared.

"You won't," he leaned in again, "run. Although there'd be no where to go."

She nodded, "I promise. Now untie me."

"If the lady insists." Hook smirked and cut each rope quick without leaving a scratch on the princess. She rubbed her wrist and stood up. Her legs were numb from being tied so tight, that they gave away and she fell. Hook was right in front of her and didn't even think twice in catching her, again.

He couldn't keep his balance and fell back. Emma landed on him with so much force it caused their lips to touch. Emma was about to pull away but Killian pulled her down to him. He put his hand on her head and she gave in to their 'not so accidental' kiss. It surprised them both. Only four seconds in to their soft, slow kiss Emma opened her eyes realizing she was kissing a pirate. She put her hands on his chest and pushed herself of him.

He was a little disappointed but relieved his crew didn't walk in to see their captain kissing a princess. Emma being as polite always offered him her hand, he being a pirate, and stubborn, denied it and stood on his own. The princess kept her promise but she really wanted to break it.

"So I kept my promise, when can I leave this...cabin?" She asked looking around.

"As long as you are in the stunning but obnoxious dress, never." Hook said checking her out while slightly licking his lips.

"Well I would be happy to change, what would you suggest?" She said sarcastically.

The captain was not amused. "Something a little less castle and more pirate ship. You're on the Jolly Roger, now. Dress like it." He said. When Killian turned towards the door Emma closed her eyes and concentrated on his words, "Less castle, more pirate ship. Less castle, more pirate." In a matter of seconds, white smoke surrounded her. The captain was about to leave his quarters when he noticed the smoke and turned around watching the ground as it disappeared.

His eyes widened at the Princesses new attire. Emma now as dressed in tan pants with black leather strips on each side, knee high black leather boots and a black vest, leather of course, over her white long sleeved silky shirt. The vest was tight and lined her waist perfectly and kind of pushing up some cleavage but not too much. Her golden hair was in big loose curls and the makeup was still simple but had fewer blush on her cheeks and no bright red lipstick.

He became more and more attracted to her as his head rose from her boots to her golden blonde hair. Hook swallowed...hard and finally said something, "Well that's much better." He gestured her outfit.

"Like what you see, Captain?" she asked in a semi-seductive tone. Apparently, Emma hadn't just dressed like a pirate but acted like one too. Hook liked it.

"Aye," he said nodding once. He stepped closer to her; Emma was getting nervous as he walked towards her. She decided to act stronger than she usually was, "That wasn't an invitation, pirate."

"Seemed like one to me," he put his left arm around her waist and pulled her to him so their chests were touching.

"Well, Hook, I can assure you it was not," Emma said pushing herself off him once more. She headed towards the door but Hook pulled her back with his hand around her forearm.

"I'm sorry, love, I still can't let you go out." He shook his head.

"And why not?"

"Same reason as before. I can't let you go out there dressed like that." He gestured her outfit again.

"Why not?" Emma still didn't understand.

"My crew, well, they would be all over you. And I can't have that."

"Is the infamous Captain Hook jealous?" this time it was she who stepped to him.

"Can you blame me for being possessive over someone as stunning as you?" he smirked. 'Damn it, why did you say it like that?' he thought. Emma leaned in teasing to kiss him, "Mm well that's my problem." She released herself from his grip and left the captain's quarters. Hook followed after her.

When she reached the deck, all crew members dropped what they were doing and stared at her. Emma didn't know how to react; she had never been looked at this way. Not in the kingdom at least, in there they all treated her with respect. The crew looked at her like she was a piece of meat. Emma stood frozen before them until someone had the audacity to walk up to her.

Hook was on the deck as well. He was just observing his crew to see who would dare step up to the beautiful woman he had already claimed his, in his mind. The captain was sure no one of his crew would until he saw Will go near her. He tried controlling the sudden jealousy that came over him and so far it was working.

Will went to Emma and introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Will," he held his hand out and she took it, "welcome aboard." His kind face made her fell a bit better about her situation. She smiled, "I'm Emma, but I think you already know that." Emma nervously tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear after taking her hand out of his.

By this time the rest of the crew started shouting out indecencies toward the princess. Emma took notice of this, and tried not to get offended but it didn't take. Will was about to tell them off but Hook stepped in. "That's enough!" he yelled furiously, "Get back to work! All of you!" That last part was specifically directed at Will, and he knew it too.

"It was nice meeting you, Emma." Will smiled.

"Same to you, Will." She smiled back. He walked back to his work as did the rest of the crew. Emma could finally breathe without feeling a million eyes on her. Now the only one watching her was Hook.

"What did I tell you?" He said as Emma turned to face him, "You're lucky they didn't mob you all if once."

"I could have handled it."

"Of course, you could have." Hook said sarcastically.

Emma rolled her eyes and went to talk to Will again. This angered Hook, he was definitely jealous. He clenched his jaw and kept his eyes on them.

"Do you know where I could get something to eat?" She asked Will. He was surprised she was speaking to him and motioned down to the dining hall, "After you." Emma smiled and went down the few steps in front of her, Will following. They were in the dining area and Will asked her what she would like holding up a red apple for a suggestion.

"Oh, um, not that. I'm not a fan of apples, do you have any grapes? Green ones?" she asked as politely as she could.

"Ah, yes, I've heard the stories. My apologies." Will said while searching to meet the princesses request, "Here we are, green grapes for Emma." He handed her the bunch of grapes , taking a bite of the apple. "Thank you," Emma took them in her hand and began walking up the steps.

"You know, you're not as stuck up as they say." Will said taking another bite.

Emma stopped and scoffed a little at his comment. Without facing him, she responded, "I'm not stuck up at all," then she kept walking.
