Oh my word, didn't realize how much I had missed ya, til you gave this! Wicked and misguided, they both are and you presented it just so! Love it that Teague was the feather in the gotcha cap set by Jack's own determination of the "delicate matter"! Funny hot and sweet, what a treat.

“Might have known,” he growled under his breath. From Jack's proprietorial yet slightly dazed air, and from the color in Elizabeth’s cheeks, it was obvious what had been transpiring in the upper reaches of the Cove this last hour." Would have been hell on to have entered that hall with everyone knowing your business--but on the other hand, such business would have sorta pushed out the oops factor!

Do you suppose that Jack has ever slid one past Teague? Even a little bit? Man, made my day to hear the beloveds again and Mistress Ching as well! Ta!
