Chapter Text
I.
His fingers found her
skin. Soft. Supple. Silk over
creamy flesh. He sighed
Into her neck. Lips
and teeth, mouths full of need and
desire won out.
She gasped his name. Jack.
The one man’s name that held her
after all this time.
He stared into her
eyes. Phryne. Witch. Temptress. He
lost himself in her.

II.
His grunts filled the dim
chamber as shoulder met stone.
Please, please, please he thought
As he struggled to
be free. Please, please, please he cried
as he ran down the
stone corridor. Her
voice as she fought turning his
fear to rough frantic
breaths. Please, please, please he
prayed as he watched, helpless to
intervene. Proud and
terrified. He shook
with relief as she stood tall
and faced her demons.
He caught her as she
collapsed, childlike and free.
The first time in years.
Please, please, please he breathed
into her raven hair. He
carried her away.
Let her rest, her dream
of boats, Pirates, and of a
little girl's smile.
