A Trip To Your Heart
Killian's Pov
I stand at the helm of the ship, guiding the steering wheel across the ocean waves. I follow the horizon, with my thumb. As I lower my hand back to my side, my finger pauses on a figure a ways across the deck. I don't recognize her at first, but her golden hair gives her away.
Mists of water fly up onto the deck from the crashing waves. I see her laughing at the cool misty breeze. Her gold locks of loose curls that fall to her waist billow in the winds of the sea.The sun shines off her hair, creating an aura of light around her. James seemed to round up a more comfortable outfit for the princess. She is dressed in a flowy cream blouse, not unlike most of the crew. Leather boots are strapped around her feet, but what keeps me staring is the leather pants she wears.
Almost two days gone with her after the night I found out she was my Swan. Only five more left. I try not to think about it for too long, living in the moment, but I don't want her to leave me. Not when I just got her back.
I stare at her a moment too long, because she turns around feeling my eyes on her. She smiles, locking eyes with me. Bloody hell. That smile could kill a man. She brushes the hair that flows into her eyes out of the way. She's the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on. I look away first, having to focus on the sailing.
After a couple minutes I hear the sound of feet climbing the stairs to the helm, I assume it's James so I don't bother to look over.
"You know sometimes staring is considered quite rude," a feminine voice comes up from behind me, Emma.
I jump slightly. She gives a quick laugh, and I turn to face her, not worrying about steering because we have entered open water. She smirks, biting her lip.
"Well I couldn't help it love," I say, "I can't seem to keep my eyes off of you, especially with you bitting that dam lip of yours."
I find even the smallest of things she does, quickly turn me on. She is so beautiful and sexy in every way possible.
"You mean this?" she rolls her tongue between her teeth.
"You siren. And it doesn't help that you are wearing those leather pants either," I grab her by the hips and bring her closer to me.
"You like them?" she asks innocently.
"Aye. I always knew you'd make one hell of a pirate. Ever since the day you knocked me over the head with a sword," I respond.
"Well I also recall that night I got a bow and arrow to my abdomen on your account," Emma raises her eyebrow.
"Point taken. But what I am trying to say is that you look absolutely ravishing Emma," I graze my thumb down her arm, leaving a trail of goosebumps on her skin.
"I guess that would mean I'd have to thank you," she smirks, "And I don't mean for the poorly executed rescue from my own castle."
"Come here," I smile, pull her to me, and kiss her lightly.
She pulls away, looking into my eyes.
"Have you ever learned to sail love?" I still hold her close to me.
"I don't think they include sailing in my lesson at the palace," Emma says.
"Well I guess we'll have to change that then," I turn back around to the wheel, bringing Emma in front of me.
"Okay," Emma places her hands on the wheel, "What do I do now?"
"Sailing is quite simple," I tell her.
"Says the pirate," she looks at me.
"Let me show you," I give her an exasperated expression. I hold onto her waist as I place my hook over the wheel, engraving a "p" and an "s" in the charcoal wood in front of the wheel, "On the left side you have Port and on the right Starboard."
"Am I supposed to know what those mean?" Emma asks.
"Be patient. I'm teaching. You really must have been a handful for your tutors," I joke with her.
"Well I don't like to sit still. I find learning to be better when you just get handed the sword and figure it out as you go," she says.
"Well then we might as well get nowhere with this whole learning to sail thing," I say annoyed in a playful tone.
"Okay, okay. Teach me then. I will put aside my impatience for once," she agrees.
"Okay. As I said, left is port. Right is starboard. Alright?" I make sure she is following.
She nods.
"Okay, now we are going to turn the wheel two notches to starboard," I place my hand and my hook on the wheel, on top of hers, closing in the space between us.
I rotate the wheel two noches to the right, holding Emma's hands, our hearts beating in sync at our closeness.
"See. As I said, love, simple," I say, as I finish turning the wheel with her, but I don't remove my hand or hook.
She turns to face me, gazing directly in my eyes. I couldn't tell if she was actually paying attention, or if her focus was on me the whole time. Our faces are close enough, that I feel her hot breath on my cheek, even though it is already a hot summer day.
She leans in along with me, her back pressed into the steering wheel.
Our lips are about to touch, when the voice of a crew member rings out.
"Cap'n! On the western horizon," he yells.
The connection between me and Emma breaks, as I flip around to face the ocean behind us.
"It's the Queen Anne's Revenge, Cap'n. Blackbeards on our tail," the same crew member shouts.
At the break of the horizon and the sky, a ship appears with sails as dark as night. Sure enough. Blackbeard is chasing us down. He wouldn't have come this way for any other reason. And I can only think of one thing he would be after.
The princess.
A little bit of a shorter chapter, but it was fluff. So it was worth it. Right?
What do you guys think? What do you think Blackbeard is after? What is he going to do? And what will Killian do about it? Theories? Comments?
Hope you guys liked this part, because I can't promise there will be a ton of fluff from here and out. Or at least for a little while. Well I guess there will be some fluff in between the intense moments, but Blackbeard has arrived and that makes everything a lot more complicated.
Anyways! Have an amazing week you guys!
Thanks for reading, voting, and commenting. You guys are the best! (Especially these guys who are so supporting me through this journey and for all the encouragement.)
And so many more!
Thanks so much you guys.
