Drabble: 'Assignation' (Jack/OFC - PG-13)

[dwgm]

Jack being both very good and very bad here, 200 words for the 'Pun' prompt, with thanks to hereswith for the quick beta this morning.



~ Assignation ~



Breeches first, then boots. Shirt… waistcoat… sash… belts… baldric… pistols… coat… finally his tricorn, hung jauntily on the lass's bedpost with such proprietary pretense only an hour before.

Footsteps. He freezes, hand to hilt, but the steps are light, and he's ready with a crooked grin as she enters, eyes wide and sparkling, cheeks still rosy, hair artfully mussed, and that elegant dressing gown, rose satin and lace, hiding her creamy curves – his fingers itch to loosen the tie 'round her trim middle.

"It's all right," she gasps, closing the door. "I told him Belle was poorly today and he's gone back out to check on her."

Belle? Ah. Her mare.

A window of opportunity. Jack purrs, "You're a diamond!" and takes her hands, held out to him with such innocent (or actually, not-so-innocent) longing. He draws her close, very close, for one last fond… fondling… embrace. One more trembling, delicious kiss.

They're both startled by the creak and slam of a door.

She flutters and pushes at him. "You must go!"

"Your servant, love," Jack agrees with a bow. That other convenient Window of Opportunity beckons and he’s out and off in a flash, scarpering through the moonlit garden.

So happy you enjoyed Jack's badness here. *g*

This rings true! By now, Jack must be a practiced master at perceiving both kinds of windows.

I feel sure he is. ;)

Oh Jack! You are such charming trouble on two feet! *hearts*

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

He is! So happy you enjoyed this instance.

Wicked indeed and so much the pirate man I adore! Yep, the reverse dressing of Mr. Captain Jack Sparrow--such an indulgence, such absolute strawberry delightful pleasure. Thanks for the lovely read!

It's an interesting vision, no? I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for commenting.

That's our Jack, never missing a moment! Delightful, thank you for sharing. :)

Thank you for commenting -- I'm so happy you enjoyed it!

Heh. I'm sure Jack has had a lot of practice slipping into and out of boudoirs, and taking advantage of every second of it. ;-)

As mentioned above, Jack getting dressed was truly delightful. :))

Jack/OFC is so easy to write -- you just know there's a thousand stories behind that smile. I'm so happy you enjoyed this particular instance. Thank you for commenting.

Sorry it didn't seem clear, that first bit was him donning his clothes hastily as the man of the house (father? husband? brother?) had returned untimely. *g* Thank you for reading and commenting -- glad it inspired some interesting images.

Saucy! Your descriptive skills are incredible. I am especially fond of the jauntily hung tricorn ;-)

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

One can just see that tricorn, no? *g* So happy you liked this. Thank you, once again, for commenting!

[woolymonkey.livejournal.com]

I bet Jack does a lot of this! If not quite as much as he tells people.

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Ha! Yes, I imagine you're right.

That was PERFECT! The importance of both types of windows in Jack's life can't be overestimated ^^ Wonderful drabble!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Loved it! It was clear from the beginning that he was getting dressed rather than getting undressed by the order in which he put on the clothes. A man will always grab the pants first when in a rush! (LOL) Never stop writing my dear.
Thanks......Nan.

Forgive me for taking so long to reply to your very kind comment. I'm glad to hear that it was clear to you that he was getting dressed! Thank you so much for reading and letting me know you enjoyed it.

Hee hee, Jack the ladies man. This is exactly how he would behave during one of his trysts. I love the order you have of his clothes and effects. It's endearing and also so detailed oriented. I also love your description of the woman. I can picture her so clearly in my head that I almost wish this was a scene in one of the movies. Sadly...or not so sadly...she is just one of many, isn't she?

I expect so, I've written about a number of them myself. *g* I'm so glad you enjoyed Jack's toilette as he prepares for a typically hasty departure. Forgive me for taking so long to reply -- I always appreciate your thoughtful comments, and these were no exception -- made my day! Thank you.

Ah Jack; true to form.
Good work.

Thanks for the doggie email Valentine, so cute.
I read they are casting a 4th POTC; yikes.
Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours.

Thank you for reading and commenting here -- so glad you enjoyed the drabble, and the virtual Valentine. Yes, PotC4 is on the horizon, and now they're saying Penelope Cruz will be in it as a "foil" for Jack. Hmmm. Could be interesting... or not. Hopefully they won't mess it up.

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
