Hello all!
Delurking for just a brief moment to drop this thing off. It's just a short
little missing scene (or two), but I hope you like it! And if you do, please
let me know; but if you don't, then do not tell me, or I'll spent me nights
sobbing pitifully...;)
Anyways, here we go!
Love, Kleio

DISCLAIMER: No, not mine, or I wouldn't be living on plain noodles - I'd get
the really good stuff with actual flavor in them:)
WARNINGS: Can't think of any.
NOTES: A huge THANKS! goes out to Katie for all her help. And I would also like
to thank Will and Leann for the quick betas - you're all such dears!
SUMMARY: Set during the film, that night they (must have) spent in Tortuga.
Includes some nasty men wanting to cause a certain blacksmith pain, the very
same blacksmith being a pain, and finally a well-known pirate captain teaching
him something about pain.
The roar of the drunken sailors and the paid giggle of the women swarming around
them were getting too much for Will Turner. He had emptied far too many pints
and fought off far too many ladies of the night - all he wanted was to find
the door out of this hellhole some insisted on calling a tavern, and stumble
back to the HMS Interceptor and sleep till hangover. What this drunken orgy
had to do with hiring a crew and sailing after Barbossa and darling Elizabeth,
Will hadn't the foggiest. Apparently this was how crews were recruited in the
world of the pirates: drinking, singing, and probably later on shagging, in
a stuffy and smelly tavern in Tortuga.
"Jack, I think I'll be heading back now," Will tried to yell over the table
full of poorly but merrily singing pirates.
No answer, not even a nod. Captain Jack Sparrow was too busy burying his face
into the bosom of a beautiful brunette and Will didn't have the heart nor the
nerve to pull him away from his sweet hideaway. Yet another one to be added
to the long line of women Jack was practically begging to get a slap from, as
evidenced earlier that day when meeting the lovely Scarlet and the lovely...
whomever.
"Aren't there any rooms in this place?" Will murmured and turned his back on
the obscene sight.
After fighting his way through wine, song and women, Will found himself standing
in the alley, breathing in the fresh air to slow down the rapidly spinning world
around him. He shouldn't have accepted all those drinks, but Jack had appeared
to be on a generous mood, or perhaps it was just his nature. Either way, the
pints had been carried before him in a steady stream and he had felt obliged
to dispose of them. Somehow Will found it utterly impossible to say 'no' to
Jack. There was something in the man's look that made him uneasy - and alarmingly
ready to carry out any orders the pirate captain might give.
"He's a witch, that captain," Will muttered as he stumbled along the way, presumably
towards the docks. "He'll just look at you and smile, he'll smile that golden
smile of his, and WHAM! you're under his spell, and you can't think straight,
and he will have you do whatever he wants you to do, and you can't do a damn
thing about it, not a damn thing..."
Will stopped at a corner and tried to remember which way they had come. The
town of Tortuga had been a muddle of streets and houses in the daylight, but
at night it looked like a giant labyrinth where all the ways seemed equally
right and wrong.
"Oh, well, can't be helped," Will stated resignedly and picked randomly one
of the streets opening before him. "Who cares where I end up? He probably won't
even notice I'm gone, too busy with his 'bonnie lass'. Well, *my* 'bonnie lass'
has been kidnapped by a mad pirate and all I can do is watch him get drunk and
have his little fun with that, that... that whore! He'll give her that look,
that smile, and he'll have his fun and won't even notice that I'm not there,
and why would he? I'm nothing! Although, it was I that freed him from prison,
and if it weren't for me he'd be hanging from his neck, but nooo," Will drawled
to exaggerate his point. Then, remembering what he had overheard in the tavern,
when Sparrow and Gibbs had discussed the true nature of this journey, he continued,
"He makes it seem like we're really here to get him his ship back, like it's
*his* trip, when really-really we're here because *I* want him... no, because
I need him..."
Will's drunken monologue came to a sudden end.
"Well, well, what have we 'ere?"
Will could barely make out the tall and heavy man behind the voice. He was about
to inquire the way to the docks when he noticed two more men, likewise disturbingly
strongly built, standing beside him.
"Let's see wha' ye got there, mate," one of the men said and before he realised
it, Will's sword had been taken from him.
"Look here... gentlemen," Will started apologetically as another was going through
his pockets. "I don't have much money on me..."
"Ye got that one right!" said the man inspecting his findings. "Ain't worth
much this one, is 'e."
The drunken Will was soon knocked over and left lying on the ground, prepared
to take in the kicks. He knew he would be no match for these men in his highly
intoxicated state and, moreover, without his precious sword, so he resigned
to try and minimize the damage ahead by curling up to protect his vital organs.
Silently he cursed himself for leaving the tavern alone, and Jack for letting
him leave, and himself for coming to Tortuga, and Jack for bringing him there,
and himself for getting Jack involved in Elizabeth's rescue in the first place,
and Jack for meddling in affairs that need not have concerned him in the least,
and, in that short while when he lay on the ground, waiting to be battered,
Will cursed Jack for every conceivable thing gone wrong in his entire life.
"Maybe we oughta 'ave us some fun with 'im, eh lads?"
Will took a deep breath and tightened his muscles, but the kick never came.
Instead, he was rolled onto his stomach and to his ultimate surprise, he could
feel the cool night air on his behind. Through his drunken haze the true meaning
of the word 'fun' began to dawn upon him and in panic he started kicking and
swinging his fists ferociously, trying to hit anything he could possibly reach.
"No-no-no-no-no!" he screamed from the top of his lungs, but the voice was soon
silenced as his face was pushed to the ground and his mouth filled with dirt.
The man behind him was forcing himself on Will, while the other two grabbed
his hands and pinned him down.
"Shut up, ye bitch!" the man hissed between his teeth and Will sensed his warm
skin touching his bare buttocks. He gathered his strength for one final push
to free himself, but to no avail. He closed his eyes and prepared for the worst.
"I fear I see no bitches here but three dogs," came the slightly stammering
but overly polite voice from behind them. "Any chance you fellows would cease
to molest me companion?"
The man lying on top of Will jumped to his feet and the other two followed soon
after, allowing Will to turn around and confirm what he had heard.
"An' who the 'ell be ye, then?"
"Captain Jack Sparrow," Jack announced himself with a due bow. "But you, my
fine gentlemen, will remember me as the one who took your sorry little lives!"
All Will could see were four pairs of legs stumping back and forth around him
and four blades glimmering in the moonlight. He hurried to pull his breeches
up to join the fight, but when he finally managed to get to his feet, he found
Jack standing next to two men lying on the ground with dark stains on their
shirts. The sound of footsteps disappearing into the distance accounted for
the third man.
"There's always got to be that one that got away," Jack said to himself bitterly,
and then, turning to Will: "You all right, lad?"
"Yes, I think so," Will muttered.
"Better be getting you to your bunk, luv. Had quite a scare there."
"I was just going back to the ship when they..."
"Let us not think about it," Jack said to calm the young man down. Will was
shaking uncontrollably and the paleness of his face was turning towards green.
"It's a long walk to the docks. You appear to have taken the scenery route here,
mate."
"Sorry, I couldn't remember..." Will was cut off by a sudden wave of sickness
and falling to his knees he threw up right in front of Jack. "I don't think
I can make it..."
"Alrighty then," Jack said matter-of-factly and pulled Will back up. "Back to
the tavern it is."
Half-carrying, half-dragging, Jack escorted Will through the maze of streets
and alleys, till finally Will found himself standing once more in the same tavern,
which now appeared to be even stuffier and smellier than before. After a quick
word with the owner, Jack returned with a key and pushed Will up the stairs
and into a small and dark room, the furniture of which consisted of a narrow
bed with dirty linen, and what seemed to have once been a chair, but was now
simply a wooden plank on three legs.
"Sleep it off," Jack said, grabbing Will's sword and placing it on the chair,
and hurled the man onto the bed. "I'll have you picked up in the morn."
"No, don't!"
"If you wish to stay here longer," Jack replied, taking a look around the room,
"I'd say you have a twisted notion of taste."
"No, I don't want to be alone." Will was swallowing back the nausea. He was
sure that if he threw up again, Jack would be gone in a flash. "Please."
A complacent smile crept onto Jack's face.
"I know where I'm wanted," he said, already removing his sword and pistol and
piling them on the chair. Finally covering the whole lot with his beloved hat,
the still smirking man gave Will a little shove in order to make room for himself.
"And I'm always happy to oblige."
Will nodded off almost immediately, but Jack sat leaning against the wall for
a good while, smoking his pipe, deep in his thoughts. Will slept peacefully
beside him, undisturbed by the music and laughter coming from downstairs. The
cool night air streamed in through the window, which had only one of its shutters
still in place, though
broken enough to do any actual 'shutting'.
Just as Jack was about retire after finishing his pipe, Will's body started
twitching and turning.
"No!" Will screamed suddenly and jumped out of the bed.
"Oy, easy now," Jack said to calm down the highly agitated man. Trying to bring
him back to reality, he asked, "Bit of a bad dream?"
"I was back there, right back there, and they wouldn't stop," Will muttered
as he sat down on the bed. "I couldn't make them stop, I couldn't!"
"Nothing you could have done, luv." Jack laid back and pushed his hand behind
his head. "I say, three against one, no fair."
"You don't understand. They took my sword! No one had ever taken my sword."
"Apart from yours truly," Jack said smugly.
"You didn't take my sword!" Will exclaimed. "You pulled out a pistol -that was
cheating!"
"Must you cling to every minor detail..."
"I felt so helpless. I hated it," Will continued, ignoring Jack's remarks. "And
then when they tried to..."
"Have their little fun?" Jack helped.
"I can't believe they wanted to... to do that," Will said in disbelief. "Why
on earth would they want to do that?"
"We come in all capes and guises."
"Shapes and sizes," Will corrected absent-mindedly.
"You sure?"
"I think so."
"Makes sense."
"Either way."
"True."
Will laid himself down on his back in the narrow space Jack had been kind enough
to leave free for him. Looking at the ceiling he kept wondering about the shapes
and sizes. He had just encountered three shapes, and of considerable size, for
that matter, but was unable to make out what that shape actually was. These
were not the shapes commonly known in the world of the blacksmiths'.
"It's over and done with. Time to go bye-bye." Jack yawned and turned onto his
side, his back to the pondering Will.
But Will couldn't stay silent for long. The dream had been vivid enough to keep
his eyes open till morning. And his curiosity was more than willing to follow
the fate of the cat.
"But why?" he asked, not letting Jack to fall asleep just yet. "They could have
just gotten themselves a girl from any of the taverns."
"Maybe they're the type that don't go for the lasses," Jack replied briefly.
"You mean..." Will stopped, not knowing what word to use. "You mean they're...
sodomites?"
"Not the most imaginative name I've known them to be called, but yes. And now
sleep. Big day of pillage and plunder ahead."
Will laid still for a good five minutes. The uneasy feeling of wanting simultaneously
to forget all about what had luckily never happened, yet also to learn more
about it, wouldn't leave him in peace. As much as he loathed those men that
had attacked him, there were some truly strange and unwanted thoughts lingering
in his aching head which he simply could not quite comprehend, let alone expel.
"But why do they do it? Does someone actually *want* to do it? Doesn't it hurt?
It has to hurt."
"It depends," Jack murmured sleepily.
"On what?"
"What you mean by 'hurt', luv."
"Pain?" Will said, stating the obvious.
"Aye, but there be all kinds of pains. That be the good kinda pain. To that
kinda people. Savvy?"
Nearly a minute's awkward silence.
"And how would you know, Jack?"
Will was certain he heard Jack gasp, and had he been able to see the look on
the pirate's face, his eyes would have confirmed that a nerve had indeed been
touched.
"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow," Jack answered, the familiar grin audible in his
voice. "I know all there is to know."
"You mean, it's a pirate thing?"
"A woman on board is bad luck."
"So-o?"
"Men be on board for weeks. Sleep."
Will turned his back to Jack and tried to close his eyes, but although the drink
pulled him into sleep, his mind refused to give in just yet.
"So, have you done it?" he ventured to ask. "With a man, I mean."
"Sleep. Now. You may consider that an order." The grin was gone and instead
Jack's voice sounded harsh and cold.
But Will had gone too far to give up now.
"Did it hurt? Was your... ehm... behind... I mean, was it painful?"
"Not more than a certain pain in the arse is being right now!" Jack snapped
and turned onto his back, burying his face in his hands and hissing through:
"Why won't you let me close me eyes and sleep?!"
"I'm just curious, that's all."
"So, the lad wants to know what it's like, eh?" Jack mumbled to himself as he
rubbed his face. "Won't let me sleep till I tell him a bloody bedtime story?
Well, why tell..."
With one swift move Jack flung himself around and against Will's back, wrapping
his arms and legs around the young man's body and finally covering the gasping
mouth with his hand.
"...when I can show it to you meself!"
Will tried to struggle but in vain. He was utterly helpless. His head was hanging
partly over the edge of the bed, so all he could see were the dirty floorboards.
And all he could hear was Jack's low whisper in his ear.
"I'll show you pain, if that's what yer wee heart desires," Jack hissed, sending
shivers down Will's spine. The dread-locks fell on Will's face and the beard
tickled his ear. The smell of rum and tobacco in Jack's breath would have been
enough to intoxicate any man, but it was not so much the odor as the words coming
out of the man's mouth that made Will wriggle even more vigorously.
"Now, if I were to thrust me knob up yer arse..."
There was no need to finish the sentence for Jack could already sense the desired
effect as Will's whole body stiffened beneath him. In addition to hearing about
it, Will could also feel the said organ, pressing hard against his buttocks,
and dispelling the last hope of this being some sort of joke on Jack's part.
"Know that I could take ye right 'ere..." Jack breathed into his ear. "Could
have me way with ye all night long and no one would be any the wiser 'bout it,
either, no matter how much ye screamed." Jack removed his hand from Will's mouth
and grasped his hair instead, pulling the man's head back and closer to him.
"An' believe me, me lad - ye be screaming!"
Before Will could form a somewhat coherent sentence, Jack had already pulled
away, leaving him hanging face down on the edge of the bed.
"But to your very good fortune," Jack said as he fell on his back once more
and prepared to go to sleep at last, "Captain Jack Sparrow has never been compelled
to take anyone unwittingly... unwishingly... no, unwillingly!" Jack sounded
almost cheerful when finding the lost word and added: "Now, that would be the
bad kinda pain, mate."
Will stumbled to his feet, gulping for air. The shock started to pass and was
replaced by pure rage.
"You, you... you scared the life out of me!" he finally managed to shout at
Jack. "How could you do that?! How could you after, after what... Damn you,
Jack, damn you to hell!"
With wobbly legs but great determination Will walked towards the door. However,
Jack proved more nimble of the two and blocked his way.
"Whoa, hold your horses!" Jack squeezed himself between Will and the door. "Look,
I'm sorry and all that. I forgot! People forget!"
"Forgot?! That was all we'd been talking about!"
"Aye, but me mind was..." Jack said awkwardly while trying to push Will backwards.
"...on other matters."
But Will wasn't moving. He refused to be treated like a little boy, like Jack
could do what he liked and then simply plead human.
"Obviously!" Will snapped and reached again for the door. "Couldn't care less
about me, now could you? You 'forgot'?! Well, you can forget about your ship
as well, because I'm leaving!"
"Oh no, you don't," Jack said and by giving Will a harder push, managed to knock
him down onto the bed. Raising his hands as a sign of surrender, he continued
more soothingly, "No reason for you to go wondering round the town and get lost
- again. Why, you can have the bunk all to yourself, and I'll stay way, waaaay
over 'ere in the corner, so you don't have to worry 'bout a thing, mate. Savvy?"
Will watched Jack retreat theatrically into the corner and with plenty of gesticulating
directed at him and intended as reassuring, the pirate captain sat finally down
on the floor.
"Worried about the ship, are we?" Will asked sardonically. "For your information,
I'm here solely because of Elizabeth and I *will* find her. And if you want
your ship, you have no choice but to help me. Apart from than that, I don't
care about you and you certainly don't give a toss about me, so there. Just
go... 'mount' someone and be done with it."
"Anyone in particular?" asked Jack with the grin in his voice.
"Sod off, Jack," Will muttered as he snuggled up and decided to get at least
a wink of sleep before the night was over.
Both men lay silent for a while, Will in the bed and Jack curled up in his
corner.
Yet again it fell on Will to break the silence. Sleep refused to come and Will's
head was crammed with thoughts, most of them rather disturbing, and all of them
revolving around the man in the corner of the room.
Slowly and not even himself knowing why, he got up, walked warily towards the
sleeping pirate and sat next to him on the floor.
"Missed me already?"
Will was startled by Jack's question. He could have sworn the man was deep asleep.
"I can't sleep," Will said quietly. "You're an ass, you know that?"
"Agreed. So, you forgive me then, luv?" Jack asked with an evil grin on his
face as he pushed himself to sit up. "I knew you couldn't stay mad for long."
"Who said I'm not mad?" Will said, but the tone of his voice told otherwise.
As indifferently as he could, Will asked, "So, are you going to finish the `bloody
bedtime story'? And I *don't* want you to show me this time."
"Now, why would you come all the way across the room, leave your comfy bed to
sit around this filthy floor, if you didn't?" Jack asked innocently and could
hear Will gulp.
It was excruciating enough for Will to admit that Jack truly had a point, but
it was even more difficult to acknowledge the fact that Jack had been the one
to realise it. It had taken Will practically no time at all to get over his
anger after Jack's stupid stunt, which should have been a clear sign in itself,
not to mention that the only thought in his head since then had been whether
or not Jack would do it again. And the most disturbing thing was that he was
increasingly rooting for 'yes'.
"It's not comfortable," Will managed to say. "The bed."
"I know, mate, always prefer the sturdy floor boards meself," Jack said seriously,
furrowing his brows. "Don't touch a bed if I can possibly avoid it. An absolute
murder those things are, no two ways about it."
"Shut up, Jack," Will snapped and started to get up. "Should have known it was
a mistake, coming here."
"And why did you come here, young William?" Jack asked as he grabbed hold of
Will's arm, pulling him down again.
"I don't know Jack - why did you go after me?" Will's question caught Jack completely
off-guard. "I know you did, from the tavern, you went after me. You couldn't
possibly have found me otherwise. I was far from the docks, you said so yourself."
Jack looked uneasy, a look which Will hadn't witnessed before and thought wholly
uncharacteristic of the great pirate captain. But quickly the embarrassment
shifted and Will's arguments had to yield before Jack's golden smile.
"We're worried about you here, not me and me doings," Jack said evasively, but
still smiling rather smugly. "We now know what Jack wants, so once more, what
might Will want?"
"How should I know?!" Will cried out in distress as the focus shifted back on
him. "I was very nearly... you know, tonight, by those, those... dogs!" he said
finally, remembering the word Jack had used. "And then you, you scared me half
to death, and I should be mad and scared, but I'm not! I'm not!"
"You want me to be scarier?" Jack asked smilingly. "That shouldn't present a
problem."
"No, it's me! There's something wrong with me!" Will exclaimed, falling to his
knees. "I'm *not* scared of you, I'm *not* afraid that you'll do it again! Don't
you see? I *should* be, Jack! I love Elizabeth, I'm *not* one of them, I love
Elizabeth..."
"Now, of course you do," Jack said soothingly, letting his hand push the hair
gently from Will's face. "I've seen the lass and can't blame you, mate. But
she's not here."
"No, she's not," Will said quietly as his eyes met Jack's. "So, would you...
finish the story? That is, if you want to."
"I think we've already established my sentiments on the subject," Jack said,
and Will nodded smilingly as he remembered what he had felt against his buttocks
earlier.
"First I must tell you that I..." Will started cautiously.
"You're not going to confess to being a eunuch after all, are you?" Jack asked
anxiously.
"You *are* an ass, Jack. I mean that I haven't ever done... anything. Ever."
"Never-ever?" Jack asked, amazed. "Never-ever-ever?"
Will shook his head slowly.
"Never been with a lass?"
"No."
"With a fella?"
"No!"
"Not with a sheep?" Jack asked cautiously, as if fearing the answer.
"Fine," Will said, declining to offer Jack any more laughs at his expense. "Think
of me what you will, but that's the truth."
Will felt ashamed and angry at the same time. He had been proud to wait for
Elizabeth, but in front of Jack it all seemed so naive and even pitiful.
"So, if you don't want to anymore, I'll understand..."
"I'd be honored, luv," came Jack's simple reply, followed by a soft kiss that
took Will completely by surprise. "What sailor wouldn't enjoy being the first
to plow through uncharted waters?"
The second kiss threw Will off-balance and on his back to the floor. Jack was
all over him, nibbling, licking, tasting, sucking, and all he could do was to
open himself to him and let the man navigate him through these unknown waters.
"Jack," Will hissed between kisses, "this will be the other kind of pain, right?
The good kind?"
Jack mumbled something reminding of 'yes', unable to tear himself away from
Will's lips for much longer. The shirt was almost off, revealing a long-awaited
sight for Jack to admire and explore.
"You sure?" Will asked panting. The pleasure was about to become too great for
his mind to work properly. Soon it would have to give in for good and let other
parts of his body to take over. Jack's mouth was burning holes into his skin,
and Will was seriously beginning to worry, whether he would simply evaporate
if the man were to continue piercing him.
"Yes!" Jack cried out anguished. "Will you just trust me and shut the hell up!"
Jack grabbed Will's hand and pulled him up, and before he knew it, Will was
on his stomach on the bed, with Jack behind him, pulling down two pairs of breeches
most vigorously. All Will was able to hear was Jack's short sigh of triumph
when the breeches hit the floor and the sound of spitting, the meaning of which
was left unknown to him for the time being. Then, without further warning, came
the pain.
"Jack!" Will cried. The surprise only added to what felt more like a piece of
sharpened metal than human flesh forcing its way inside him. So far, the good
kind of pain was proving to be worse than any other suffering Will had ever
endured. Through his clenched teeth he managed to hiss: "You call this *good*?!"
"Wait, just wait," Jack panted into Will's ear. "It be better, just wait."
Will concentrated on breathing while Jack dug his teeth into his neck. Their
already sweaty bodies were entwined, two skins melting together. Between kissing
and nibbling, Jack reached to pin Will's arms down above his head, and was pleased
to encounter no resistance from the quietly moaning man. What Jack was unaware
of was, that this
was precisely what Will had been dreaming of - Jack taking him over so completely
and mercilessly and he being the most willing booty for the pirate captain to
claim as his.
Just as Will thought the worst was over and his flesh began to give in to Jack's,
the man started moving himself slowly, pushing inch by inch deeper inside him.
The pain returned, although now it appeared to be getting more tolerable, and
with every new push it gradually changed into sensations even Will had not dared
to dream of.
"Oh my god, Jack..." Will murmured as the pain proved to be every bit as good
as Jack had promised it to be. "Jack..."
*****
Will stood by the window, letting the salty wind cool his body and dry off the
sweat from his shirt. The sun was already climbing up in the sky, but the town
of Tortuga was still fast asleep, including Jack, who snored loudly on his stomach,
looking most content. Slightly disappointed and increasingly annoyed, Will watched
him sleep. That damned drink. Apart from the pounding headache the blacksmith
was also suffering from a bad case of remorse. He shouldn't have drunk that
much, not being used to it the same way the
pirates seemed to be. Or at least this one particular pirate.
Consequently, due to the rather large quantities of ale consumed in the course
of the even, Will had become a victim to the age-old nuisance of his sex: his
drunken mind had been more than willing, but his equally drunken body had failed
him miserably. So now, the only satisfied man in the room snored blissfully,
wasting the precious time they had left before sailing after Barbossa. And after
Elizabeth.
There were simply too many things roaming around his aching head for him to
even start reconsidering his feelings for Elizabeth. The first and foremost
would be to rescue her and return her to home. All else remained a blur. She
would then be free to marry Norrington, which was what her father wanted, and
fathers usually had the last say in
these matters. And, more importantly, Will wasn't at all certain whether he
wanted to interfere anymore.
A sudden cough from the bed brought Will back from his thoughts.
"Will?" Jack mumbled, still half-asleep. "You're not here. Why aren't you here?"
"I *am* here," Will said smilingly as he walked to the bed. "I was just thinking."
"At this hour?" Jack's voice came faintly from underneath the mass of black
hair covering his entire face. "Come back to bed."
"What is it with you and sleeping?" Will asked as he sat down on the edge of
the bed. "That's all you could talk about last night, too."
"Ah, but that was only to shut you up and hence prevent me knob from bursting."
"Oh, I see." Will chuckled, pleased at the thought of Jack wanting him as much
as he had wanted Jack. But he continued more seriously: "But what now, Jack?
Where do I stand now?"
"You're standing right here in Tortuga with me," Jack explained sleepily. "Except
that you are, in fact, sitting and I'm sleeping, and you should be sleeping
too, with me." The long string of confused words had obviously strained Jack
and after a deep sigh he fell silent.
"But where does this leave me?" Will continued his musings. "Where's *my* place
after this?"
"Oh, I'm certain you will find your place soon enough, luv," Jack said assuredly
and dug his face deeper into the pillow.
And as Jack moved, Will noticed his shirt shifting, only a little, but enough
to reveal a hint of the bare buttocks underneath.
"Somehow I think I've already found a place," Will said, smiling to himself.
"A good place, I hope?"
"You tell me," Will replied secretively as he moved closer to Jack and pulled
the man's shirt up some more. "I think my place should be right here, between
this cheek..." Will squeezed Jack's left buttock gently, and then, moving his
hand on the other one, he added: "...and this one."
"Oh, that be a good place," Jack muttered seemingly more alert. "That be a very
good place."
