Thanks for the reviews and favourites, I'm really enjoying writing this story.
Another Lemon in this one but I'll mark it with (XXX) again.
Disclaimer: I donot own One Piece, I do own Poppy Rei and this story, IwishI owned Trafalgar Law, but alas it is not to be...
This chapter was especially fun to write, hope you like it.
CHAPTER 4: Retaliation.
Rei lie awake in her bed, her small room sat snug in the south-west end of the submarine, it wasn't anything special but it was better than sharing in the men's quarters.
She could still feel his hands on her, it had been hours ago and Rei still wasn't sure if it had been a dream or not. Turning on her side she winced as she felt her lower body still tender from Law's rough advances. Definitely not a dream, she thought moodily, recalling her shameful lack of self-control.
He'd turned all her ploys against her, she had walked into that room intending to mess with him, but instead the only mess had been her shredded dignity. She should have stopped him, but how?
Law had been so close to her, his hold on her inescapable and his touch merciless, Rei felt dizzy just thinking about it. She had underestimated him, as well as misjudge her own motivation, she hadn't realised she wanted him until it was too late, the sudden, fierce awareness of it catching her off guard.
As soon as her climax had passed the effect had worn of enough for her to regret it, she'd left him with her usual flirtatious attitude, and hoped he couldn't tell it was taking all her energy to walk out the door, every cell in her body telling her to turn around and beg him to do it again.
Rei's mind was a nest of confliction. Part of her was angry, no, furious that he had gotten the best of her, the thought of letting him touch her again making her blood boil. But another part of her felt unbelievably empty, like she had been starved and then fed a tiny morsel of bread, not enough to sate her appetite, only enough to make her hunger that much more agonising. She wanted to consume him until there was no room left inside her for more.
It was clear that Rei would not be able to go about normally on the ship without tasting him again. She conceded rather grudgingly, that it was inevitable she would end up giving in to temptation. But as a consolation Rei promised herself that next time she would be in control, she'd make him scream, the thought made Rei smile as she recalled the crazed lust in Law's dark eyes when he'd stood over her.
She may have been the one to break, but Law hadn't been far behind, it wouldn't take much, Rei decided, to push him all the way.
… * … * …
Nothing...
He'd caught her eye the morning after and there had been nothing, nothing to indicate she even remembered the events of the night before.
Law remembered it, he had been having trouble not remembering it.
He'd guessed she would follow him into his chambers, the game she'd been playing for the past week reaching it's sadistic finally. Law had been completely devoted to confronting her and putting an end to her schemes once and for all. But as she had settled on his desk with that rage-inspiring smirk on her lips, dress barely covering the smooth skin of her legs, Law had felt his composure slipping.
He'd suddenly become infuriated with her, all thoughts of merely telling her to stop leaving his mind as he decided on a better course of action.
He would fight fire with fire, he'd had plenty of it ricocheting inside of him since she had first set foot on his ship.
Law had been certain that taking her would be the end of it, but instead of extinguishing the flame, it had only seemed to feed it, making him burn even hotter than before. It had been two days since then and they had left the island soon after, a decision Law now regretted noting that with nothing but metal and a vast expanse of ocean surrounding them, it was impossible not to encounter her.
Law could see her now, chatting with the rest of the crew as they went about their duties. She had become quite popular amongst them and Law wondered, not for the first time, if perhaps she was relying on more than her charm. For some reason the thought angered him, though he didn't linger on it long enough to wonder why. She was wearing something a little more conservative today (as far as her outfits were concerned anyway) a loose fitting blouse - red of course, sleeves rolled up, and the top few buttons left undone either due to the heat or just to show off her profuse cleavage. Dark maroon pants hugged her long, shapely legs before disappearing into a pair of black calf-length boots.
A picture flashed in Law's mind of her entire ensemble lying abandoned on his bedroom floor. He quickly pushed it away, he'd never felt desire like this before, it was almost overwhelming.
If he didn't do something about it soon, he would be completely consumed.
… * … * …
Something was different about Rei, Bepo determined. Ever since they had left the island she had been acting strange. Bepo wondered if perhaps she was more upset about not being able to visit the town than she had let on. Hmmm... Bepo thought, trying to figure it out.
"What is it?" Rei asked, looking at him expectantly. Bepo started, "What is what?"
Rei rolled her eyes at him dubiously, "you were looking at me funny."
Oh, she'd caught him, Bepo realised. He was about to apologise when Rei stopped him.
"Just tell me why." She commanded lightly.
Bepo sighed, "I was wondering if something was wrong, you've been acting strange for a few days now." He confessed. Something like surprise seemed to flicker on her face before Rei gave him a sympathetic look, "nothing at all Bepo, I'm perfectly fine," she assured him, then she smiled "but it's nice of you to be concerned."
Bepo frowned, "why wouldn't I be? We're part of the same crew after all." Rei's eyes widened slightly before Bepo saw them soften, "I guess we are, huh." she said turning away, a small, sad smile on her face. Bepo, afraid he might have upset her continued, "but, we're not just pirates together, we're friends too." he said smiling, relieved when Rei smiled back sincerely. "I don't think I've ever had a friend before." she laughed.
… * … * …
Law could feel another headache beginning as he slumped behind his desk, trying to work and failing every time he remembered what had taken place there nights before. He'd been trying to get her out of his mind all week, but the damn woman had nested herself in his thoughts like a parasite, leaching all his attention.
Law had been watching her today out of the corner of his eye as she talked with his navigator, it had become clear that the two had gotten quite close. He hadn't thought anything of it, Bepo was probably one of his most trusted crew mates, he'd been with him since the beginning and Law knew he had a friendly nature. It didn't surprise him when the bear had befriended Rei, but what had surprised him was what had transpired earlier as they talked together.
Rei had said something that seemed to make Bepo nervous, but before the bear began his usual apologising, Rei had silenced him, asking him a question Law couldn't hear. They talked some more back and forth, Bepo had smiled and said something. Then it happened, Rei had thrown her head back and laughed. Laughed, genuinely and happily without a trace of spite or barely concealed malice.
Law hadn't thought it was possible and, if someone had told him it was before he actually witnessed it himself, Law would have diced that deluded informer into tiny pieces for being completely mad.
Somehow the devilish woman who had been tormenting him and the smiling girl that stood next to Bepo seemed to be two entirely different people. Law had only ever experienced the other, provocative, troublesome part of her, and this brighter version just didn't meld with his impression of Rei at all. Law guessed Bepo was just one of those bears that brought out the good in people, how ever little of it there was.
His headache now a persistent rhythm in his temples, Law decided to take a break, it's not like he'd been making much progress anyway. Law leaned back, the chair creaking at his change in position.
Nothing was going to plan, all he had was a long list of wants without any inkling of being answered. He wanted to find those coordinates, he wanted to sleep, he wanted Poppy Rei to get the fuck out of his head.. or did he just want to fuck her?
Law found it difficult to concentrate on anything. Worries, desires and strategies, all whirling around his thoughts while his head continued to throb stubbornly.
Please just let it end.. He thought, one lean hand resting over his eyes.
… * … * …
The submarine got intolerably hot after a few days of cramped air and no windows. Most of the crew who weren't working had gone to cool off in the lounge, probably the biggest room in the ship, it was full of comfortable furniture, books lined the walls, it even had a pool table. Bepo had left to enjoy it with the others while Rei stayed behind to endure a heat of her own.
Speaking of Bepo, Rei thought of how the snowy bear had smiled at her, telling her they were friends. Rei had felt something unexpectedly warm bloom inside her chest, she'd been travelling alone so long she suddenly realised what she had been missing. Knowing that another soul cared for her well being and enjoyed her company was a welcome change from being chased all the time. She could get used to having friends...
Her other issue though, she wasn't so sure about. She had felt his eyes on her all week, the sharp grey of his irises following her movements like a bird watching it's prey. Rei had out done herself, feigning indifference whenever their eyes met or his arm brushed hers in the hall, though it sent heat rushing through her, she never let it show.
Law however, had been less convincing. After a few days he barely even tried to conceal the hunger in his eyes as he looked at her with such intensity that Rei thought he might burn a hole right through her dress. It hadn't been easy, she was exhausted and frustrated and hot as hell. Also, her bluffing had fooled him so perfectly that she actually began to feel a little guilty, but only a little.
She'd waited five days, that, she decided was long enough. Rei smiled, she had plans for him tonight that made her tingle all over with excitement, tonight she'd get her revenge and it would be so very, very sweet.
… * … * …
Law lie comfortably on his bed, headache gone for now. He sighed as he watched the ocean dance across his ceiling, reflecting from the window into his room. It was usually a calming sight, but tonight it was just a reminder that there was nowhere to run.
He started as light filled the room, a slender figure silhouetted in his door way. He didn't move, he thought maybe he was finally asleep and dreaming, a beautiful woman visiting him in the night to soothe his anxieties.
When the door closed and he recognised the figure, Law realised he wasn't dreaming. Although annoyed, he wasn't entirely disappointed as Rei strode over to him, her feline-like eyes bright even in the dark of his room.

The smug look on her face and the meaning of her presence suddenly hit him and Law felt his rage building as it all became clear. She had planned this, planned to make him wait until he was mad with desire. "You filthy little tease." he growled reaching out to her, but Rei pulled away.
"Uh-uh, not tonight Captain," she purred stepping closer once more, "tonight it's my turn."
Law felt his entire body react as she pushed him down on the bed and her weight settled above him, her legs on either side of his hips. Once again he reached for her and again Rei evaded his touch. Before he could protest Rei lowered herself onto his chest, her hair falling around her face as her lips hovered above his. "I've told you already, it's my turn." she said in a low voice, it was barely a whisper but it resonated through Law like a siren. Her lips were so close to his and he was craving the taste of her but before he could advance she pulled back, returning to her position on his hips.
"I have something I want to show you." she said, her hands roaming over his chest, making his heart speed rapidly. "What are you up to?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady.
Rei just smiled down at him, "You'll see." Law wasn't sure if it was anticipation or anxiety that had his heart skipping a beat. He waited, for what ever it was to begin but Rei just repeated the same action of running her hands down his chest. It wasn't until she smiled knowingly and Law felt something stir inside his nerves that he realised she'd already started.
The action was the same, but the sensation was different, before it had just made his pulse quicken, now it was twice as vivid, making him shiver beneath the material of his shirt. It didn't take him long to figure out what she was doing...
That damn bitch was using her devil fruit powers on him.
Law knew she could probably tell from his expression that he'd worked it out, but she only smiled and continued her exercise. Her hands came down again and this time Law almost jerked at the feel of her fingers through his shirt, Law lie there not daring to move, every sensation heightened in the state she had him in. He felt himself suppress a growl, he wasn't even naked yet.
As if reading his thoughts, Rei stopped abruptly, "take off your shirt." she commanded saucily.
Law wanted to say no, tell her to get off of him before he cut her in two, but instead he felt his mouth clam shut, his body obeying her request before his mind could interfere. Rei's eyes shone smugly as his shirt slipped over his shoulders and fell to the floor.
Without his shirt Rei's touch was even more surreal, he felt everything, the tickle of her hair as it brushed against him, her fingers on his chest, the sensation of contact between bare skin elevated to the point he thought he might actually moan with pleasure.
Rei's weight shifted, her hands leaving his chest once more and Law felt his mind rift as he realised her next course of action. He didn't know whether to sigh or scream for her to stop, merely touching his chest had maddened him, he didn't think he could take what she had in mind.
But still his mouth refused to function, the sensation of her slender fingers pulling at the waist of his jeans silencing him with anticipation. When he was completely bared she stopped, looking down at him approvingly. Law tensed as she bent closer, her rosy lips hovering just centimetres away, Law tried not to flinch as her breath warmed the sensitive skin.
Rei looked up at him, biting her lip seductively. Her eyes locked onto his, wildness stirring in their depths. Law went rigid as Rei's tongue travelled up the length of his shaft, the action making his breathing loud and haggard as lightning shot through his veins. He was completely lost as her lips enclosed around him, it was so blindingly intense he felt his entire body vibrate. Rei took him deeper, all the while never taking her eyes off of his, watching his every reaction. He felt the moist warmth of her throat all around him and felt a growl escape his lips, every one of his senses alive open to her.
Law felt a mix of disappointment and relief as she released him, sliding into a sitting position to remove her dress, she had come prepared wearing no underwear and, as Rei's naked body appeared above him, Law noticed the ocean still snaking in through the window, rippling across her slender frame.
No where to run.
Law watched as the scarlet material of her dress fell unceremoniously to the ground, along with the last shreds of his resolve.
Rei bent down, capturing his mouth with hers, Law could taste himself on her as her tongue slid between his teeth. He returned her kiss hungrily, his pulse screaming in his ears, the softness of her skin covered him, her hard nipples pressed firmly against his chest. His hands slid down the length of her back and over the round slope of her ass before moving towards her centre. She was extremely wet and Law wondered for a moment how much she'd been holding back, but his mind was soon occupied by her lips at his throat, trailing a line of hot kisses across his skin.
"Let's try this again." she whispered breathlessly.
Law grabbed her in reply, pulling her closer as she straddled him. Self-control gone, he moaned as he slid into her, Rei's lips were parted wordlessly as she began to move, rotating her hips in a circular motion that made Law bite the inside of his cheek. Rei's breathing was growing heavy and Law heard her sigh as they built up speed. Law shuddered violently with each thrust, pleasure pulsing in waves through his body.
Rei's nails were embedded in the skin of his back, her mouth pressed into his shoulder in a silent scream. His fingers were in her hair and curled around her waist, he was so close.
Rei climaxed before him, her cries barreling into the night.
Law heard a guttural sound escape his lips as he came closer, and all of a sudden the walls were to close, the air to thin, everything in him set alight, his heart was thunder in his ears.
Law called out, his breath escaping him sharply, and the night crashing down around him.

Exhaustion soon overwhelmed him and he fell back onto the bed, bringing Rei down with him. She landed softly onto his chest, breathing heavily.
Neither of them said anything, more focused on catching their breath, but after a while Rei spoke. "Now that was something." she breathed grinning wickedly before rolling off of him.
Law, though he wanted to terribly, felt unable to disagree. What ever she had done to him, he would not be forgetting it any time soon. "Mmm," Law murmured in quiet agreement before sitting up. When she didn't reply he looked down at her, Rei's eyes were closed, a small triumphant smile lingering on her lips.
She had fallen asleep.
Law exhaled, so apparently she was sleeping here tonight, he thought. His mind wandered back to her earlier laughter as he watched her sleep, slightly envious that she should get to be so happy and sleep so soundly in one day.
Lying down beside her Law drifted in and out of a shallow, dreamless slumber.
Aww, Law can't catch a break, still not getting any decent sleep.
I can explain this, Law is suffering 'Extreme Tension Headaches,' these are caused by elevated stress. Stress also causes Insomnia - which is the inability to sleep.
Thanks for reading, next upload may take a while because I am finishing off the rest of the chapters before publishing. But it won't be for very long, maybe a week or even less.
