Chapter two

Chapter two:

The hammock was not the best place for her first time with William. But it worked. They lay there, under a blanket. Penelope resting her entire naked body ontop of his. Her face against his chest. Her eyes closed. Resting after several hours of forplay and finally love making. Passionate and unbridaled.

William moaned gently and ran his figertips gently along her soft bare back." I still need to get the Hot Spur prepared." He whispered.

" I know."

" So if I were to get up and dress now...you would not feel that I just took you and thats it."

" Such a gentlemen. You need not worry, William my love. I know what you are suppose to do. I like to eavesdrop." She said and smiled.

William smiled back at her as she stood from laying on him. He took one more moment to gaze upon her body.He thought for a moment. He spoke to her," You're a banshie in bed, you know that." He said and chuckled. Penelope got what he meant. She had proven that during their lovemaking. She too chuckled as she began to dress. William then made his way to his cloths and started to dress too.

As he did, he noticed Penelope had a different expression then before. As if she something was wrong. He knew he had to inquire. " What is it?" He asked her approaching her. Wearing only his dark breeches and white shirt.

Penelope looked at Willaim and hung her head." Penelope?" He repeated her name. Concern flowing in his soft tone. When she closed her eyes slowly and still hung her head. His tone firmed ever so slightly," Penelope?"

When she looked at him again, she looked like she could cry. William lifted his hand and gently caressed her face," What is it?" He asked her softly.

" I..." She started." I...can not hide from you William." she started. It was then, he feared the worst that she could confess."...Well...before I met you...Horatio...and...I...lets just say...I was not a virgin when I met you..." She whispered and looked away from him.

When she did not hear a responce from him, she looked back over at him. He still said nothing. Grabbed his officer's coat and walked from the cabin. Slowly Penelope closed her eyes and let her tears trickle down her cheek. Then she too finished dressing and made her way to the deck of the ship. The boat that was rowed for them to get to the Hot Spur still lingered in the water below.

She glanced around and used a rope to lower herself into it. Where she rowed towards a near by ship. She needed guildence. She needed to know if what she had said was right. What she had done with William was right. She knew she was in love with William. But...what of her feelings for Horatio. She almost drew them into a kiss earlier that evening. What was she thinking?

She thought that she was long passed being in love with Horatio she always believed that he was just lust. And that William Bush was love. As she rowed. She looked back when she first met William. Several years ago...

" Excuse me." The doctor glanced up from exaiming a wound. Behind the other side of the bars was the young woman, Penelope Pellew. Her hair was short, but she dressed in the manner of a lady. The prison guard opened the door for her and let her in.

She walked over towards the bed, where Bush lay. The large gash on his stomach exposed." What happened to him?" She asked the doctor.

" Isn't it apparent?" He asked curtly." Are you his wife?"

" No." She answered and looked back down at him. She did find him handsome though." Where is Hornblower?" She asked.

" On trial for mutiny." The doctor answered.

Penelope looked up in disbelief." Mutiny? Hornblower?"

The doctor was about to respond, when the man in other bed coughed and groaned." Forgive me, I must tend to him." He moved over from the man he was looking at to the other.

When Penelope looked back down at him. His eyes were open and staring right at her." Do I know you?" He asked with a lifted eyebrow.

" No. But you do know Horatio Hornblower?" She asked.

" Hornblower? Yes.Are you his wife?" He asked her.

" No. A friend. My name sir is Penelope Pellew." She introduced herself.

" Leftenant William Bush...

Penelope smiled, looking back at that moment.It was not long after that they began to write to eachother And began to get romanticlly involved with eachother. William Bush was indeed a goood man. A man that she herself had grown to love.
