A Merry Life (Assassins Creed 4)

The Little Jog

Hey guys! First off thanks for taking the time to read this first chapter!

I love Assassin's Creed myself but never thought of writing fan-fiction before, never even read any. I came across one with James Kidd and Edward Kenway, and thought it was great! So obviously I looked for more, and wasn't disappointed. So thought I'd give it a go myself!

This is the first time I've tried writing (other than school/college/work) so go easy eh? B|

Hope you guys enjoy! :)

There may be some delay in chapters, I want to make sure everything is as good as it can be before publishing it!

& sorry if there are mistakes! People are prone to them!

I kind of know where all of this is going, but I haven't got there yet :|

"Kidd I swear, you'll be the death of me!" Edward heavily panting as he and Mary Read, better known as James Kidd came to a halt down a side street of Kingston.

"Well if you didn't have the fitness of someone twice yer age, and the looks of someone older you'd 'ave no problem with that little jog" Kidd smirked although he too had his hands on his knees panting for breath.

With a weak laugh Edward tapped his hand on Kidd's shoulder "and with this, I'm off for a drink, and a damn seat to catch the rest of my breath" James nodded in agreement, his hands left his knees so they were both stood upright, about to take off to the tavern.

"James!" 

A voice came from behind them, they both turned to see a young woman slowing down her pace. "May I have a word?"

Her voice seeming as if he had no other choice but to delay the taste of rum coursing down into his system. Kenway and Kidd both looked at each other, Edward's eyebrows raised and his lips shut tightly, "I'll meet you there then?"

James let out a slight sigh, "Aye, this won't take long"

A laugh escaped Kenway "Oh.. won't it now?"

James knew Kenway's mind wasn't the cleanest of the lot, Kidd narrowed his eyes at him.

"Jus' go take your seat and catch yer breath old man"

And with that Edward lifted his hands up in front of him showing Kidd the palms of his hands, and then left James to his business.

"What's up lass?" Kidd asked, although having a slight idea what this was all about.

Her eyes became narrow with a slight smile across her face as she waltzed up to the young lad, putting her hand around the back of his neck.

"I do believe it's time you came with me" she looked into his eyes, then to his lips, back into his eyes.

There was hardly a gap between their bodies, her other hand lightly grabbing the sash around his waist.

"Ahhh, I'm kind of exhausted from doing some.. jobs, can't ye tell? I need a rest lass"

There was a slight fear in his eyes as her thumb gently smoothed his cheek. Going onto her tip toes, she lent in, her lips close to his ear as he felt her warm breath.

"Who said you had to do any of the work?" James felt the grin that appeared on her lips, right before she lightly lay a kiss upon his neck.

He grabbed her hand that was still around his neck, as he pulled it away graciously, he couldn't let this woman get any closer, he was pushing his luck as it was. "Honestly lass, I can't accept this tonight, no matter how much I want to-" 

He put a smirk to his face, that hid the worry in his eyes, James moved in closer putting his lips next to her ear, as his finger tips gently ran up and down the bottom of her back along her spine, while whispering, 

"-and damn right, I want to." He could almost feel her melt from his whisper and his touch. 

It also amused him slightly, for James was a woman, Mary Read as a matter of fact, she knew how women worked, how they swooned, this had helped her a great deal in looking the part of a pirate lad.

Kidd leaned back and gave her a wink, she blushed. 

"But James I-" 

He realized then that this lass wasn't going to give up easily, until..

"MOVE!"
