A Pirate's Life For Me (Catt/Monkey)

"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." Josephine thought of all the pirates who would use this information against the Captain. No doubt Sebastian would kill them all but even still. She thought about the other rumors that surrounded him on the ship and wondered what else of those were true. Many of the pirates felt threatened by him, despite his calm demeanor, calling him a ticking time bomb. And for a while, she believed them. There was no way a pirate could be so gentle. And yet, while lying in his arms and listening to him talk about his past, she felt ashamed for actually believing them. She laid her palm flat on his chest, feeling the strong thrum against her hand.

Josephine shrugged, smiling with relief when she saw the smirk on his face. "It's always been a rumor on the ship, that you were actually Brian's son but Marabelle was still your mother. I never really knew if it was true or not." She looked back at his chest, tracing patterns over his heart. "The Captain never seemed to treat you as anything other than his son. Plus, having twins from different father sounds far-fetched." She paused, "Unless...Alice isn't Sebastian's either..."

Josephine winced at the image of him being stabbed. She looked up at him, "You're more dangerous than I thought, Elijah Dalton." She smirked, "Underneath that gentlemanly skin is a pirate, through and through." She grinned and looked back at his scars. She continued to idly trace circles and shapes on his body. She pursed her lips in deep thought before speaking, "You aren't Sebastian's son, right?" She glanced up at him, wondering if she had tread on thin ice.

She had to lift her head slightly to free the hair that was trapped under her before she rested her head on his shoulder. She traced the different scars that littered his body. "How did you get all of these?" She asked, frowning as she touched one that looked particularly deep on his side. Josephine looked up at him, "You're the most passive man ever. I thought you never got into fights." Elijah was always the one coming to end fights that broke out on the ship. Even though he was teased relentlessly at times, the crew had a high regard for him and almost always listened to him when he mediated.

His fingertips left a trail of goosebumps in its wake. The gentle touch was distracting and she just barely paid attention to his story. She forced herself to watch his face grow animated as he talked about his childhood, grinning at the brightness on his face. She tried to imagine a young Elijah running from frogs and laughed. "You were scared of everything? Well, not much has changed." She teased, her hand dropping to his chest, "I remember when you wouldn't come off the ship to come to the carnival when we were in Brazil because of the clowns."

Scrunching up her nose, Josephine dropped her hand and revealed a matching grin. "You'd be the first to notice." They had always been a secret pride of hers and it always disappointed her when people didn't notice. She had to point them out to Jack one night and even then he had just humored her, telling her they were there. "I was starting to think that I was the only one who could see them." She added, her hand brushing aside his hair from the side of his head. Her finger traced a small fading scar at his temple, "What happened here?"

Josephine chuckled as his stutter came back. She was wondering where that Elijah had went. "Well then, I guess I'll just have to teach you." She murmured before kissing him again. Only this time, there was nothing chaste or innocent about it. Her hands slid up and wrapped around his neck, pulling him in closer. He had filled up all of her senses, leaving her driven only by passion. She hitched her leg around his hip and intended to roll him on top of her. Just as she was about to move him, their teeth clacked together and she pulled away from the kiss, her hand to her mouth, "I-I'm sorry." Though she was horrified that she would make such a rookie mistake, she couldn't keep the giggles at bay.

Josephine hummed lightly as her hands slid from the back of his head to his chest, pulling away from him a bit to let her eyes roam his chest,"Well, from the looks of it, you're already a natural." Her eyes trailed back up to his face and she grinned. Her hands skimmed along his torso, tracing the cut of his muscles. She leaned in close, "Why don't you show me what else you've observed." She breathed against his lips, her hands lying flat on his chest.

Josephine's hand slid into his hair, soft tresses falling between her fingers. She smiled just a bit when she felt his tongue at her lips and opened her mouth, deepening the kiss. She pulled away just a bit after several long moments, resting her forehead against his, her eyes closed. Her breath was ragged and she gulped, finally raising her eyes to meet his. The chocolate brown eyes always looked at her with such warmth that she mistook for friendship. Now, she couldn't misunderstand anything. His look started a fire in the pit of her stomach. "Where'd you learn that? They always say you've never been with a woman." She mumbled, smirking.

With all the tension that was between them ever since they walked into the room together, Josephine wasn't surprised when he kissed her. What she wasn't expecting, however, was her kissing him back. The kiss lasted only for a brief moment before he broke it, stuttering and stumbling over his words. She watched him, trying to sort out her own conflicting feelings of wanting to kiss him and wanting to stay faithful to her ex-fiance. Breaking things off with Jack was painful and yet, being around Elijah eased that pain. Jack had moved on rather quickly as well so why couldn't she? Focusing back on Elijah, she could almost read the thoughts going on in his mind. Slowly, she placed a hand on his cheek, "I'll cut your hands off later." She mumbled before kissing him again.
