[h2]Avonlea, Province ~ Fairy Tale World[/h2][/center]

The cheerful and rowdy atmosphere of the tavern filled the air around them, drowning out the sound of her now empty mug as it once more hit the table in front of them, her body twisting slightly as she lifted both her legs up from the ground, her cheeks blushing a light shade of pink from the alcohol, and the playful spark usually lost now back within her darkened eyes as she leant her body back into his own, her head dropping until it was rested lightly against his chest- the pirate had always been good company to keep… one able to lift her into high spirits after days living her life in the shade; and over the many years since he had found her living in Province, his company by her side each month was of much comfort.

Lifting her hand up from where it had been resting over his knee, she let her finger lightly trail the strong line of his jaw before she brought it across, letting it brush teasingly over his lips before she once more brought it back to her lap, her head tilting down so that she could watch herself play with the hem of her top, “..you’ve been gone some time… feels longer than a month- and on top of it all, you didn’t send word to me that you were coming… After your close call with Belle and her Knights during your last visit; I wasn’t sure you’d be coming back at all to be honest…”

Jones had been nursing his own tankard when Audrey began to give him physical attention. And though it was clear with his raised eyebrow and wandering eyes that her advances didn't go unnoticed, nor unappreciated, he finished his drink before doing or saying anything. With one arm draped around Audrey's shoulder, the other that held possession over his tankard lowered the mug onto the table next to her empty one. How many had she had now? Four? Five? He had lost count, as his own tolerance was beginning to waver and the blurred vision and buzzing face slowly began.

He inclined his head back, resting it against the wall behind the padding of their booth and took a moment to let his eyes drink in the beauty he had come to know over the many years.

"Though I've been keepin' busy, there be very little in this world tha' could keep me from comin' back ta ye, lass." His eyes drifted from hers, down to her lips, and then back up again. "It's actually a bit of a surprise to meself I'm here as well. A jobs opened up in The Bayou - couldn't pass it up. I told meself I'd write ye when I got there, plan my time 'ere, but then... ye were just on the way..."

“..and I’m sure that I’m on the way back too…”

Unable to help the gentle chuckle that fell through her lips at that simple fact, she lifted her head back up so that she was able to once more meet with his gaze, her dark eyes soft and playful as she pressed herself further back into his body, making herself comfortable as she slowly lowered her hand to rest lightly upon his knee, her fingers adding pressure as she began to massage his thigh; the motion only lasting a few moments before she brought it to a stop, her eyes coming to a close as she tilted her head, her soft lips brushing lightly over the silk collar of his shirt.

“I’ve never been to the Bayou… but I’ve heard Gaston speak of the Shadow man before. According to him the guy is completamente loco… totally out of his mind; and with mood swings worse than Cookie in the galley…” Pausing for only a moment as she thought about the last conversation she had overheard about the voodoo man of the Bayou, Audrey once again pulled herself out of her thoughts and back to the present, her gaze once more focusing on the man lounging in the tavern with her, rather than on rumors circulating the streets, “Ser cauteloso… the man is very unpredictable; worse than others we’ve come across… just be sure you don’t do anything stupid, and that you come back, okay..?”

A smirk played over Jones' lips as he picked up his head to look down at her, curled up so intimately to him - fitting like a jigsaw piece. Slowly, he moved his hand that had been resting on her shoulder to lightly run his fingers through her hair, keeping his eyes on her all the while. 

"Careful, lass. Those almost be words of care, and concern." He jested. He knew Audrey cared for him - if anything, a good friend. Sure they had gone to bed with each other a great many number of times, though on both ends it seemed the notion wasn't anything more than physical desire. But their friendship was one not to be tested. After all, it had been he who had helped Audrey to pick up the pieces after she was forced to leave her fiance's side.

"I have met with The Shadow Man before. We are upon mutual ground an' what I have ta offer will surely put me within his good graces." He bent his head down to lightly brush his lips against her forehead; not quite a kiss, but not without affection. "I'll always come back to ye, Kiara."

Though in years past she would have done nothing more than scoff at his playful banter; the sweet gesture of his lips upon her forehead, and gentle words of comfort had her heart relaxing with her chest- over the years she had lost a great many deal of people from her life; the thought of losing him as well… she didn’t even want to think on the matter, “..you know it’s not just me you leave behind when you sail away from port...”

Tearing her gaze away from his, she allowed it to linger upon the satchel of gold that sat on the table against the wall beside them before she once again met his eyes, her body shifting against his slightly as she worked to sit up just that little bit more, her legs pulling in closer against her body and head now level with his neck rather than his chest as she slid her hand further up his leg, letting it continue to rest upon his thigh as she shook her head lightly from side to side, stray strands of her long dark locks falling down and over her face by the action, “..she hasn’t seen you in months, Jones- she keeps asking me when you’re gunna come visit, and I don’t know what to tell her anymore… She misses you being around… [i]I[/i] miss you being around…”

Jones took a few moments to watch her hand traveling up his thigh, just enjoying the soft, gentle touches as he thought up an answer for her that would keep him in her good graces.

"The little lass can see me tomorrow. Soon as the sun rises. I'll surprise her as I did ye." He nodded, as if to confirm that, that was what was going to happen, no matter what. He then looked back down at her, taking his fingers he had been running through her hair to once more hold underneath her chin, turning her neck so she was looking back up at him, their lips only a short breath away.

"But the sun remains sunken for the evenin'. It would be careless to squander such precious time..."

“Your word is your bond, Jones… and it’s for that reason, I know you would not let me down.” A soft and knowing smile played over her lips as she once again began to lightly rub at his thigh, letting him know that she was on the same pattern of thought as he was in that moment, her lips teasingly hovering just in front of his own for the time being, “I’ve spent many nights with just myself as company; to know we can share a bed tonight, well, I don’t plan on wasting any more time…”

The moment the words passed through to the air, Audrey leant herself forward, her lips pressing softly… almost delicately against his own before eventually, she added more pressure into the action, her hand lifting up from his thigh to instead touch against his chest for the duration of the moment shared before finally, she tore herself back from him; the playful glint once more flashing within her eyes as she slowly stood herself up, taking firm hold of the satchel and placing it back over her shoulder as she turned, her boots making soft thuds over the ground as she made her way across the room and over to the door, stopping long enough for her to look back over her shoulder, and to motion for him to follow before disappearing out the door to wait his return to her side.

Jones wasted no time in following after her. After ensuring a good amount of gold was left on the table to cover their drinks and then something a little extra for their server, he was right behind her, escaping into the night air.

His hand back once more to her back, walking with her and guiding her through the streets of Avonlea and through a few more secluded areas until he stopped. Pausing for a moment, Jones looked about the area before rapping his knuckles against a particular side panel, it's hollow sound slipping up into the night air.

Then... the sound of chains...

An anchor was being lowered over their heads, slowly so as Jones could ensure their safety as it hit the ground before them. With a rather pleased smile on his face, he waited until the anchor started to lift again, stopping when just the bottom was sitting on the floor.

He urged Audrey to walk with him, stepping his boots onto the base of the anchor and used one hand to take hold of the chain above it, using his opposite hand to help Audrey join him. With her chest to his, a protective arm around her middle, he waited until she had firm footing and placement of her hands before he shook the chain, and the anchor slowly started to ascend into the dark night sky.

Jones made the most of their small ride together by pressing his lips to hers, hard and in wanting like what he wanted to do back in the tavern. They both knew what was coming, and that thought alone had his cock growing hard against her thigh as he continued to kiss her, long and hard.
