James narrowed his eyes at Reginald, "I'm glad I could help." He sat down and took a sip of wine. His glance was on Victoria's lips...dear lord! He swallowed the wine down and coughed, "Take a seat, Duchess."
~~
Jack pulled off her shirt and kissed her neck. As he did so, Evelyn slid her hand down his chest, and removed his belts. They undressed each other impatiently, throwing shirts and trousers out of their way and kissing hungrily.
Evelyn pulled at the sheets as Jack moved into her. Her cheeks were wet with tears, which made her all the more desperate for his touch.
They breathed heavily, held eachother tightly, and gasped when the moment came.

Will was drifting in and out of sleep on the deck beneath the cool night sky. He dreamt of her...
~~
Seating herself as near to the Commodore as possible, Victoria ignored Reginald and concentrated her full attention on pouring wine into her hosts glass, her lips smalling a small pout as she focused on her task. She raised her eyes to his, and jerked her hand a little so the liquid splashed onto the cloth and dripped slowly onto his breeches. Acting totally surprised she leapt up...
"Oh my! I'm so sorry...I completely lost focus..." she flushed red, "I'm just so tired..." she carried on making excuses, all the while grabbing a napkin and dabbing the stain. Unable to look, but unable to not watch Reginald's eyes flicked between his food and her actions.

Both gasping for breath, they pulled the sheets over their satisfied bodies. Jack moved to his side and kissed her gently on the lips. She'd already drifted to sleep...
~~
James swallowed thickly and snatched the napkin from her hand, "That's quite alright." He started to realise that Victoria wasn't quite the woman she expected her to be. He'd expected a demure young woman who knew propriety. Surely!

"Sorry..."smiling innocently, Victoria edged away and nibbled at some of the items on the table. Reginald began chattering away about London and Court, whilst Victoria kept smiling politely at the Commodore. As the night wore on, she grew tired, the events of the day catching up with her. They had returned from the dead after all! Stifling a yawn with a hand, she kept glancing towards the bed in the corner...how soft it would be compared to the crude one Jack had made for her....Jack. Even his name made her heart skip a beat. Reginald was beginning to slur his words now...far too much wine.
~~
In the middle of the night, Will woke up with a start and sat up. He considered returning to his room to escape the cold, but decided to check on Evelyn first. Standing up, he stretched, the cool air had turned cold, and made his bones ache...he headed below deck and towards her room. Quietly he knocked on the door.

James endured Reginald's blabber, but noticed that the time was late, and Victoria seemed tired. "Victoria, there is a room for you down the corridor when you're ready."

Victoria flashed him another smile, with a glimmer of naughtiness in it. The she turned her attention to Reginald. "Did you hear that Reginald? Rooms...down the hall." She stood up and helped him rise from his chair. Turning back to the Commodore she thanked him and led her friend to the cabin asigned to her. Laying him on the bed, he soon started to snore almost instantly...and she left him there with a smirk, creeping back to James' cabin, but not before checking herself in the mirror first...
She knocked on the door.
~~
Will peered into Evelyn's room when nobody replied. He found it empty. His handsome face creased into a frown. Entering the cabin, he perched himself on her bed to think....where could she be? Probably wandering the ship, keeping her mind busy. He hoped. He found one of her scarves on the bed post and ran it through his fingers, smiling a little. The motion soothed him, and without realising it, he curled up and fell asleep on her bed, waiting for her to come back.

James turned to look at the door, "Come in." he frowned, wondering who it might be at this time of night. The tables had been cleared and he was at his desk, taking care of a few things before going to bed.

Victoria opened the door quietly, and shut it behind her, her hands behind her back, head lowered demurely...
"I just came to say good night...and thank you for all your help..." she smiled at him beneath her lashes, and pushed an ebony curl behind her ear.

James stood up, "Oh, Victoria...I...you're most welcome, it's my duty after all." He gave a polite smile, then paused, unsure of what else to say.

Stepping into the room a little, she glanced around and flashed him another smile...
"I actually haven't had very much time to talk to you alone...or thank you properly for all your assistance..."

James shook his head with a humble smile, "That's quite alright, I'm..." he looked into her twinkling eyes and smiled again, "I'm always ready to assist you..." He held his hands behind his back, feeling almost a little nervous.

She took a step nearer to him, only a few inches away from him. She traced the outline of his face with one of her delicate fingers, and placed her other hand on his chest.
"Perhaps you could assist me now?" she asked.

James' cheeks started to burn again, he looked away for a moment, "And what may I assist you with?" he kept the seriousness in his tone of voice.

She hid her smile. He was very modest, and it reminded her of herself when she was younger.
"With this..." she whispered, and gently placed her lips on his.

James' eyes widened and shiver went through his whole body. Was this really happened? He pulled back and cleared his throat, "Er...I...I don't think that this...is entirely err...proper..."
