bottom line, we made it out the first time still in love and half alive
The sound Ark makes when Jack's hands close around her hips is immediate and answering, something low and dark that feeds on the pressure he applies, her body shifting into it rather than away as she rolls against him with a rhythm that builds instead of breaks, each movement gathering more weight than the last. Where his palms press, there’s a slickness that isn’t sweat, something salt-laced and living that beads against his skin as though her body answers touch the way the sea answers pressure, giving and taking in the same breath.
His question doesn’t distract her, but it does sharpen something, something feral and bright that flashes through her as she leans down, her nails catching at the back of his head and dragging just enough to pull his mouth up to hers. The kiss is anything but gentle, her mouth taking his with a force that matches the way she moves over him. At the same time, an abrupt fist of wind shoves the chair aside that Jack had placed against the door before it slams open into the alley, and with it comes the rush of something that doesn’t belong inside walls, the scent and sound of open water spilling into the narrow space as if the boundary between sea and shore has been pulled thin enough to tear.
Those gathered there don’t just hear her now; they see her, framed in the spill of moonlight and motion, her body poised over the Captain's in a line that’s all control and intent, her hair a bloody, shifting fall around her as she moves with a rhythm that looks less like something human and more like a siren come to claim yet another sailor.
Then, everything tightens without warning; the pressure she’s been building turning dense and unmanageable as it coils low and deep until it has nowhere left to go. Her breath catches hard, her body going taut over him as the first break hits, not gentle, not easing, but splitting through her in a rush that forces a raw, open sound from her mouth before she can swallow it back. His name tears free with it, not shaped, not softened, but boasted, dragged up from her as the release follows through, heavy and relentless, her hips jolting once before she drives them down again, refusing to lose the rhythm even as it surges through her. Her orgasm doesn’t crest cleanly; it hits in waves that stack and break without space between them, each one pulling tighter, harder, until she’s riding it out with no intention of easing the force of it, letting it take and take until there’s nothing left in her that isn’t caught in the pull.

we didn't die, but no guarantees this time, but fuck it lets do it again
Siren's Wake | After she leaves a space, traces of her presence linger briefly: a faint scent of salt, the sound of distant water, a restless feeling in the chest. People rarely notice it consciously.
