Rating: R

Category: Drabble, Backstory, Humor

At times it's bloody inconvenient, particularly when it happens to be his own crew, or the new boy, or Navy's men who just can't seem to keep their hands off him. But it is good to be wanted. There's more than enough to go around, keep everyone happy. Though some have a funny way of showing it. So long as there's enough rum involved, no reason why everyone can't have as much of Jack as their heart desires.
