Chapter One- The Beach

Elizabeth rowed as hard as she could towards the island where Will was waiting. She wanted to look back to see him but was too frantic about getting to him. As she almost reached the shore Will ran out into the ocean and pulled her boat up onto the beach. Elizabeth stood, turning around and reached out to Will, who was standing beside the boat. He caught her as she threw herself at him, holding her by the waist and she held his face, kissing him furiously. Will picked her up and lifted her out the boat, placing her on the ground as she placed kisses all over his face. Elizabeth pulled away, lowering her hands to his chest. Will saw she looked upset and she said with an unsteady voice, while looking at his chest.

"I thought I'd lost you," Will reached down and cupped her face. Elizabeth looked up at him and smiled, reaching up and bringing his mouth to hers. They kissed passionately for an eternity, holding each other tightly. Will was the first to break the kiss, his lungs insisting that he start breathing again.

Elizabeth watched her husband's face, tanned from their adventures, but still the most handsome face she had ever seen. Her hands traced his broad shoulders, down his firm chest and muscle toned stomach to his belt. She leaned up and placed an open mouthed kiss on his shoulder before pulling his sword out of its holster.

"This might get in the way," she said with a hint of laughter in her voice. Will smiled back and ran his hand down her arm, then down to her tiny waist, and out to the curve of her hip. He pulled out her sword and looked at Elizabeth who turned and drove Will's sword into the sand. Will moved beside her and placed his sword next to hers and watched as the swords tilted to form a cross, a symbol of unity. Will looked at Elizabeth; the rain had washed off all the dirt and her face looked pale and delicate, her golden hair now dry and softly blowing in the breeze. She was looking at the swords thoughtfully. Elizabeth then smiled and looked up at him. Elizabeth gazed beyond his shoulder and started walking in the direction behind him. Will wordlessly followed her, walking in a little alcove of a cliff, hidden by rocks. She turned back and faced him, her face still dawning a private smile, her honey eyes bright in the sunlight. Will walked to her and kissed her gently.

Elizabeth sighed into the kiss and gripped his forearms as she guided him to a flat rock. She broke the kiss and pushed him to sit on it. Standing in front of him, she removed the outer layer of her clothing, the horrible Singaporean armour and shoulder pads, and dropped them on the floor. She felt no nerves, only a desire to be Will's wife in every way. This left her in a sleeveless sarong like under-robe with a low neckline. The sarong had two slits going up each leg for easy movement and still wore her trousers and boots. The sarong was held together by a sash tied tightly around her middle. Will looked at his wife with love, admiration, and desire as he reached out for her, holding her by the waist and pulling her into his lap, her legs straddling his hips. Elizabeth gasped and smiled a little excitedly as Will's hand reached up to her neck and brushed her hair over her shoulders before placing kisses on her newly exposed skin.

Will barely heard Elizabeth's soft moan as he placed an assault on her soft skin, running his hands up and down her bare arms, caressing the soft skin. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled herself against him, causing Will to moan softly against the crook of her neck, overcome by the feeling of her soft body against his. The feeling of Will's warm breath on her neck was sending shivers down her spine and she was glad that she was already sitting. Will lifted his head off her shoulder and kissed her hungrily and possessively. Elizabeth opened her mouth for him and the deepened kiss was soon heated and passionate. Elizabeth suddenly made a noise of protest and pulled away, looking radiant with swollen lips and flushed cheeks. She climbed off him and said,

"I forgot something!" Will, slightly dazed from their actions, exclaimed, "What?" She was already running back to the boat. She came back soon after carrying two blankets.

"Jack gave me some supplies!" One of the blankets was thick so Elizabeth lay that one down on the sand, pleased to see it was about the size of a queen size bed quilt. The other one was a soft sheet that she dropped on the edge of the blanket. Elizabeth turned back to Will to see he had taken off his boots and removed his effects, leaving him in his maroon shirt and black trousers. Elizabeth sat down on the blanket and, grabbing Will's hand, pulled him down with her. His lips soon found hers as he laid them down, him beside her but leaning over to kiss her. As the kiss deepened Elizabeth removed his bandana, tossing it aside as his hair tumbled over his face and she reached up and ran her hands through his dark hair, brushing it off his forehead. She pulled him closer and he was soon above her, lying between her legs. Ending the embrace, Will sat up and Elizabeth followed, the both of them reaching for his shirt. Elizabeth grabbed his arms and positioned them above his head and, like a mother undressing a child, she lifted the thin garment off, revealing a hard muscle and scar bound torso. She couldn't stop herself from placing her hand over the deep scar on his chest and lent forward, placing soft kisses upon it.

When Elizabeth pulled back, she kept her hand on his chest and Will placed his own hand over hers. He pulled both hands to his face and Will gave her palm the softest kiss, then trailed his lips to her wrist then continued up her arm to the soft skin on the inside of her elbow. Elizabeth was quite happily surprised by how sensitive her skin was where he was kissing her. Elizabeth lay back down and went to pulled Will with her but he resisted. He moved his hands to her hips then slowly ran his hands down the outside of her legs, watching her sit up on her elbows. Elizabeth watched him with a mixture of excitement and anticipation. When his hands reached her feet, he removed her boots one at a time, before trailing his hands back up her legs and leaning over and kissing her. Will ended it before Elizabeth had a chance to deepen it. She looked up at him with disappointment and he merely smiled as he leaned back and put his hands on her waist. His skilled hands undid the knots of her sash and gently unwrapped the long material from her body. Dropping the material beside him, his hands returned to her hips, moving underneath the skirt of the robe and undoing the fastenings of her breeches. Elizabeth's breathing became erratic as she watched his deft hands at work. Once they were undone, Will slowly and deliberately pulled them down. The sarong she was wearing kept her most intimate area covered but the two slits caused the material to slide down when she lifted her knees up, revealing her bare legs to him.

Elizabeth was finding it incredibly hard to breathe as she saw Will's eyes darken to the point where they were almost black as his gaze fell upon her legs. Starting at her ankles, his rough, calloused hands ran up her pale, smooth legs to her knee. The feeling of his hands on her thighs took her breath away and she fell back against the sand and closed her eyes, sighing deeply. As his hands got higher he leaned closer to her, starting kissing her stomach through the fabric of her clothes, making his way to the bare skin of her low neckline. Her chest was heaving, causing the swell of her breasts to appear as the material started to slide. Elizabeth gasped when his mouth began to caress her breast, his facial hair scratching her soft skin sending jolts of heat through her veins. His hands were now underneath the material of her robe, rubbing his thumbs on her hipbone. Elizabeth was completely paralysed by his caresses, laying there trembling, gripping the blanket at her side and moaning softly.

Will heard her moan and looked up at her face, her eyes closed tightly and mouth wide open, bliss plastered on her face. He removed his hands from her hips and moved them up to caress her face, starting at her jaw and moving to her forehead, running his hands through her soft hair. She reached up and ran her hands up his back to his shoulder. Her hands were beautifully soft and cool against his heated skin. As much as he wanted to continue exploring her body, he wanted to go slow, to memorise every moment he spent with her. He moved one hand to cup the back of her neck and the other hand moved her shoulder. Elizabeth smiled up at him and said softly, "Will, I love you!"

Will smiled back and kissed her gently. Elizabeth sighed and moved her hands to his chest, running them up and down the front of his torso, enjoying the feel of his muscles twitching under her touch. Will left her lips, kissing her cheek, trailing down her jaw, down the side of her neck to her shoulder. When his mouth met the material he moved the material off her shoulder down her arm, his mouth following. Elizabeth grabbed his face and pulled him into a long passionate kiss. Her hands groped the muscles on his back as she moved her hands up and down, exploring the warm skin as they plundered each others mouth. It wasn't until she felt the cool air on her chest that she knew Will had moved the material of her dress aside. He continued kissing her and Elizabeth moaned when he cupped her breast with his hand, the other one still caressing her cheek.

Will returned her moan with his own, as his hand explored her chest. Elizabeth broke the kiss leaning her head back with a sigh. She pulled him as close as humanly possible and pressed her forehead against his. "I need you." she whispered breathlessly. Will smiled against her cheek and replied, "I need you too!" As Will gently kissed her neck, Elizabeth undid his trousers. He moved his mouth from her neck to help her take them off. He moved back over her, kissing her navel then moving up over her chest to her mouth, kissing her possessively. Moaning into the kiss, she pushed her hips up against his, causing his own hips to retaliate. His hands on her hipbone, he removed the material around her hips, leaving them both naked. With their foreheads pressed together, dark chocolate eyes staring into honey ones as they slowly and passionately became one.

Elizabeth whimpered slightly in pain and Will kissed her and whispered against her mouth, "I'm sorry,"

Elizabeth smiled and pressed herself against him, causing heat and pleasure to soar through them. Kissing and gently biting each other's neck and shoulders, they moved as one. Elizabeth wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer and causing the most intimate contact and Will to pick up his pace until they both cried out, reaching their peak together. Will collapsed against her, overcome by his release. Elizabeth held him close, enjoying the feel of him being close.

"I love you." He whispered into the soft skin of her shoulder after a minute when his breath calmed down. He felt her smile against his neck and she place soft kisses on his salty skin. He rolled them both over till he was on his back with her on his chest, Elizabeth giggled against his chest. Will grabbed the sheet and draped it over their bodies.

She leaned back to gaze at his face with an angelic smile.

"You should rest," he whispered, his hands lightly stroking the skin on her sides under the sheet while he spoke. She was momentarily lost in his touch but looking down at him and replied, "I'm not going to waste a moment I have with you on sleep."

"Then what do you suppose we do?" Will asked with playfulness evident in his voice. Elizabeth leaned back, sitting up and her legs straddled his hips. Will eye's darkened as the sheet pooled around their hips, giving him a perfect view of her naked body. She smiled unashamedly at him and bit her lip, running her hands down his chest to rest on his lower stomach. Then as she leant forward to kiss him, replied seductively,

"I'm sure we can think of something!"
