Taken

Chapter 14 Want

Regina's POV

He held my chin so gently, and stared into my eyes. Did he want to kiss me? I couldn't tell, and no way I would go taking a guess and risk a severe punishment from him.

Killian's POV

Bloody hell her lips are so inviting. So soft, I know she hasn't been touched in any way by a man. I'm probably the first man to even bare her behind. I wonder if she's been kissed before. The way her eyes sparkled at me suggested she hadn't.

"Have you ever had a kiss from a man?" He asked her gently removing his hand. She remained kneeling there looking at him. "Uhh no, I've never been kissed," she admitted shyly.

"Mmm, too busy stealing from men to share company in other ways?" He asked mockingly but somewhat seriously. "I guess so," she shrugged guiltily.

He smiled at her warmly, and continued to look at her, almost like he was memorizing her face.
Snapping himself out of it, "Uhh, I think it's time you were put back," he said. Regina's face sank, assuming he meant tied in her empty room.

"Oh, yes Sir," she said submissively to him. "Come," he stood up, lowering his hand to her to help her up. She took his hand securely, his large hand engulfing hers inside.

Killian lead her back down the corridors and suddenly the ship jolted. Regina crashed into Killian's chest. "Uhh," she grunted and held his coat to keep steady.
"Bloody hell," he took her arm and lead her with him above deck.

As the rain washed over them, Regina blinked her eyes up toward the dark clouds that lit up with lightning and crashes of thunder.

"Pull up the main mast!" Killian's voice boomed over the storm and he headed towards the helm.
"You hold on right here!" He yelled at Regina placing her next to the helm, holding onto the rail near it.

Killian manned the helm, gritting his teeth as the rain drenched him, holding tight to turn the ship.
Regina gripped the railing, watching the Captain attempt to move away from the sudden storm.

The waves lifted higher, making the ship rise and sway down over them.

Regina's POV

Suddenly things started to happen so fast. We were soaked as soon as we came above deck, and then I was holding on as tight as I could as the ship tossed around over the rough waters. I watched him, he had no fear. Apart from being soaked, he was confident and not remotely worried.

I was terrified, what if we sink? What if this is it? I stared at him, and he caught my eye a moment. He looked at me with comfort, almost telling me it would all be okay.

Killian's POV

I'd captained this ship for centuries, and got her through plenty of storms. This was no different. However, there was the added member of the ship to worry about.

I watched the water drench her, as she held onto the railing. She was afraid, I knew she was. Her eyes told me everything. I would get us through just like any other storm I faced. She looked at me silently begging for comfort.

Regina used all her strength to hold onto the railing. As a large wave washed over the Jolly Roger, Regina found herself thrown.

She felt herself going backwards, towards over the side again. But no, not this time. She was grabbed first.

With the darkness, thunder and torrential rain Regina couldn't make out any of what was happening.

Blinking through the dripping water, Regina realized she was between Killian and the helm.
Her back was against his chest. He held his right hand over the helm in front of them. The hook was around on the left side.

She was small, her head only coming to his chest as he towered over her, and protecting her from going anywhere. Regina grips his arms to steady herself, leaning back a bit against his chest.

Killian's strength held himself and Regina steady, as well as the large ship he was controlling.

As the storm led on, Regina felt exhausted, clutching to him the entire time. "Get down! Hold my legs!" He shouted at her.
Regina got on the ground beneath him, holding around his legs.

Killian's POV

The safest place for her was behind the helm, but covered by me. Once she was there, I spun the wheel, turning the Jolly to port as fast as I could as the lightning cracked on the other side.

The rain lightened, and I saw the crack begin in the clouds. Steadily now I could guide the ship.

"Get the sail back up!" Killian shouted, which would lead the ship faster, and with the storm settling, lifting the mast was safe.

"Yes!" Killian cheered boisterously, as they conquered another storm. "Good job men! The moon is peaking through!" He laughed out loud.
"Alright you," he lifted Regina, she sighed, relieved, "let's get you out of wet clothing again," he said.

Regina's POV

Wow, how did he do that? I thought we were doomed. I blinked my eyes at him. At least I was somewhat clean now, and he lead me back down below deck.

"Obviously they're too big for you, but it's dry and I don't need you catching a fever," he said to me, laying another dry shirt of his out. He slid off his own soaked coat.

Not shy, Killian stripped off his shirt too. Regina couldn't help stare at his body a bit. She had actually never seen a man with no shirt. He smirked at her, "no manners hmm?" He teased.
"Oh, I'm sorry Sir," she turned quickly away from him.

She felt his hands suddenly come to her waist from behind. He gently undid her bodice on the back. He slid it down off her, along with her skirt. Regina didn't move.

She didn't want to disobey, but she also enjoyed the feel of his hands down her body. She breathed slowly, or tried to, as her heart started to flutter against her chest.

Regina was completely nude, still her back to him. She could feel his chest, bare; against her back.
"Put the shirt on before you get cold," he whispered against her ear.

Regina's POV

I felt like I would just stop breathing. I listened to him, and pulled his shirt over me, it of course covered past my behind, to my thighs.
I felt him stay there, behind me.
"Get yourself into bed, that was enough for today," he said gently to me, almost cooing at me.

I turned to him, looking up at him. "You're a very good Captain," I complimented him. A little curl in his lip, he nodded, and winked at me. I headed to the bed as he instructed.

"Get some rest." He said, and he left, leaving the room unlocked once more.
