Jack flinched and snapped his eyes open. Just a dream, he thought.
He tried to get up, but realized he couldn't move his arm. His eyes followed his arm and found Angelica hugging it.
Jack banished the thought of getting up from his mind and hugged her with his other arm too.
Angelica woke up and painfully groaned, bringing her knees to her stomach.
"I know it hurts, love. Wounds do that for a couple days afterward." He comforted.
Angelica grumbled and rolled over to bury her face in Jack's chest.
Jack stroked her hair and hugged her to him.
"You smell like gunpowder." She said and lifted her head.
"I wonder why." He joked. "Feel like getting up?" He asked.
"No." She replied immediately.
"Me neither." He propped himself up on one elbow.
Angelica wrapped her hands around his neck and hugged him.
"Thanks for coming after me, love." he said, slowly moving his hands to her waist.
"You couldn't have stopped me." She whispered seductively.
Jack rolled them over so that he was hovering over her and started kissing her. He started to pull off the shirt she was wearing, an old one of his, but she stopped him.
"I see what you're trying to do. Not until my gun shot heals." She teased.
Jack groaned. "Come on."
"Nope." She smiled sweetly.
Jack got an idea and took one hand off her waist, tracing her cheek with it. "Please?" He smirked.
"That's not going to work." Angelica replied dryly, trying to hide the fact that she was melting under his charm.
His clever fingers traced her jaw. "Are you sure?" He smiled maliciously. "Seems like it already has."
Angelica eyed him intently as her lip began to tremble.
"I knew you couldn't resist." Jack lowered his face to hers and touched their noses.
"You can be so charming when you want something." She rolled her eyes and kissed him while she laced her fingers in his hair.
Jack kissed her hard and undid his shirt buttons.
"I still meant it when I said no." She pulled away to breathe and put her hands behind her head.
"But, love you don't understand!" He whined.
Angelica giggled. "You're so cute."
"I'm not cute!" He defended.
"You're right, you're adorable!" She laughed and touched his nose. "Ok, ok sorry." She said to a pouty Jack. "What don't I understand." she asked.
"I haven't had a woman in so long!" He pleaded.
Angelica teased him by pretending to think. "I will make you a deal." she finally said.
"Yes?" Jack said eagerly.
"If you get me pain killers, I will be your woman that you so desperately need." She mocked.
"Done." He said and started to get off of her.
"Wait!" Angelica stopped him.
"One more thing: this happens only after they start working. I think they take... 4 hours?" She smiled evilly.
Jack pouted. "Is that all?"
"That's it." She confirmed.
"Fine." He trudged off to keep his end of the deal.
