A/N- Ok, first off, I'd like to (maybe) apologize in advance for the following chapter and the fact that it is so late of an update. The next is, bare with me, this is a first for me, so I'd really appreciate as much feedback as I can get. Please, review this chapter and let me know what you think. If it's well-received I'll try to write more of it, if not, I'll have to go back and do some tweaking. I won't get better unless you help me out though!
chasesgirl11- I'm glad you appreciated the humor. XD
Starelight- Of course I'll update again, I'm just a terrible writer and slack off. XD
AmericanNidiot- Mmm, you gotta admit though, teasing Law would be one of our favorite past times. ;) At least one of mine.
Apple Bloom- Yup, I've been slacking for far too long, hopefully I'm not this bad ever again. D: Law-sama may just have to punish me. *Waggles eyebrows*
Ninjaloner- Meh, they probably ate it later. XD Though cold food kind of sucks, honestly. And I read the second part of your review about your request, and my initial reaction was NOOOOO, because I've never written one of those before, and I was super nervous about doing it because there's a possibility that my *cough* mother *cough* reads my writing, and I may just give her a heart attack. And I was honestly going to write something else and maybe put your request aside (because of my nerves) but I manned up and look what we have here! If you guys like it enough then I'll try to write more. :) (Please tell me what you think because I need the feedback desperately. o.o)
sarge1130- Well, as long as Law's intention wasn't to kill me I think I'd be intrigued as to how his devil fit worked too. :P Well, we all know Law is too smart of a guy to fall for those little tricks, but we can all keep hoping, now can't we? :)
In case it isn't apparent, this chapter is rated M, for nice lemony goodness.
Onwards!
It started in the morning, right as he woke up. One of the few nights that he'd been able to actually sleep, Law rolled over in the bed and reached out to wrap an arm around the brunette beside him to pull her closer. Instead, it fell back onto the comforter, an empty space where the woman should have been. His fingers clenched the comforter as he cracked open one eye, eyeing the space with a glare. Already irritated and he'd just woken up.
"Lexi-ya." He graveled out, pushing himself up to look around the room. It wasn't usual for her to be up before him, even less of a morning person than himself. And that was saying something, considering the nights he actually got a decent rest were occasional at times. There was a shuffling sound in the bathroom, and a moment later she emerged from within, slipping the usual hoodie over her head fully dressed and ready for the day.
"Morning." She called cheerfully, unusually peppy and awake that early. The captain, confused as to why she was so happy, glanced at the clock and confirmed it wasn't even six in the morning. She must have seen his disbelief at her pleasant attitude, because she chuckled and knelt next to the bed by his face. "I've gotta help the chef with preparing breakfast, remember?"
Somewhere in the foggy cloud that was his memory recalled that yes, in fact, she'd said something about that the day before in passing. It had slipped his mind, though it wasn't entirely his fault. Half the time when she tried to get his attention while he had reports to file or textbooks to read, he zoned out everyone and could barely be spoken to, a fact that one too many times his crew had unfairly taken advantage of.
For instance, the time they'd waited until he was nose deep in medical reports to ask if they could have a food fight. That had been an interesting discussion once he discovered the mess later. His only consolation was at least she hadn't told him something outlandish that he'd unwittingly agreed to.
"I'm going to go to the mess deck, alright? I'll bring you something up later." She promised, leaning down to kiss his cheek. Before she could pull away, the drowsy Captain grabbed onto the front of her hoodie and pulled her down for a real kiss, slowly but insistently tasting her.
Whilst she was distracted, his hand crept up under her hoodie and skimmed a trail across her stomach and up to the side of her breast, giving a soft squeeze. Lexi jumped a little at the sensation, almost letting slip a quiet moan as his fingers probed deeper into her flesh through the fabric of her hoodie.
Before Lexi even had a chance to pull away, he pulled her further down beside him on the bed, switching positions so he hovered over her dangerously. Never breaking his kiss, his knee spread her legs apart a little wider.
Realizing that her chances of escape were quickly diminishing, Lexi let go a satisfied sigh, clutching his shoulders and rolling them over once more so she was the one on top. With a chuckle the brunette used the momentum to hop the rest of the way out of the bed and onto her feet once more. A quick glance at the surprised and slightly irritated Captain confirmed her suspicion, eyeing the tightness of his boxers.
"Don't make me late, I gotta go." Came her light-hearted response, as if nothing had even occurred.
"Hmm." He hummed, narrowing his eyes with a silent promise to himself that this wouldn't be the end of it. She might have gotten away this time but once breakfast was done, he'd bring her right back and do as he pleased.
Reluctantly letting go, Law watched her grin and turn to leave the room, her ass intentionally swaying side to side enticingly just to draw his eye. Not one to waste opportunities, he watched with interest until she completely disappeared from view behind the door and into the hall.
As much as he'd tried getting back to sleep, that damned woman had caused too many visions of her lying beneath him, squirming with pleasure and moaning his name to really get any other rest. So much for that.
Just as she'd promised, about an hour later she'd returned with a tray of food, setting it on the nightstand and scurrying back out before he could make her stay. She was a slippery one. Figuring he may as well get ready for the day, Law rose from the bed and ate his breakfast while getting dressed.
Finishing his meal, he grabbed the tray and headed down to the mess deck where the crew was gathered. They greeted him cheerily, and he took his usual seat reading that morning's paper as they all ate their meals.
Breakfast finished quickly, the crew trickling out to attend to their daily chores and duties. The conversations slowly died down as people left. There was nothing interesting in the paper, and Law quickly became bored just sitting there. No doubt there were papers to go over back in the navigation room, maintenance checks that had to be done, and a whole other assortment of things on his to-do list, but the one at the very top of it was Lexi, so he stayed put at his seat and waited until she had finished in the kitchen.
Finally, she emerged from within, glancing around for someone in particular. Law smirked, moving to stand, but paused when she locked her gaze on Penguin and Shachi, waving eagerly over to them and headed over. Frowning, he stood and wandered over to where they were seated.
"Lexi-ya," He started, coming up behind the brunette, "will you please accompany me to the infirmary?" That sly smirk reappeared, and she closed her eyes with an apologetic smile.
"Sorry, I already promised these guys I'd clean the boiler room with them. I guess it's pretty bad down there." She gestured to his two engineers and they nodded enthusiastically.
With more effort than he cared to admit, the Captain was able to withhold the heavy sigh that threatened to break through. Of course she had. It seemed Lexi's morning was booked consecutively. While it wasn't rare for her to offer to help out some of the other crew members, the fact that she just had to be busy that morning was a bit irritating.
He'd had other plans with her, but he couldn't deny that the cleanliness of his own vessel was important. And that particular area of the ship had been neglected somewhat for awhile. Honestly, a woman's attention to detail would probably help these two complete the job without cutting corners.
"Well, then you'd better get started." He relented, watching passively as the three nodded and headed off out the door towards the boiler room. It was fine. He could wait a few more hours. She had to be done at some point, right?
"Lexi-ya."
The brunette, who was currently crouched down cleaning the toilets in the bathrooms, glanced up from her work, wiping the sweat from her brow with the back of her hand. "Oh, hey. I'm almost done cleaning the bathroom."
The Captain smirked. "Good, because-"
"After this I'm supposed to get all the laundry done with Holly. Since I'm running out of clean clothes." She chuckled, dunking the scrubbing tool back into the toilet bowl. "I've procrastinated this long already."
Before he could really retort she was already back to work and humming to herself. Silently pursing his lips, Law wandered over to the infirmary to read yet another medical book in the meantime. It would be his third that day alone.
"Lexi-"
"Law, could you hand me that box of sake?" She called from the top of the ladder, pointing to the box in question. "It'll make it easier to put up on the shelf."
Sighing, the Captain did as she requested, hefting one of the many containers from the ground and lifting it up to her. With a grunt she placed it on the corresponding shelf, wiping her hands together afterwards in satisfaction.
"Perfect. Now that that's done I can help with lunch." She concluded, hopping down off the ladder and shooting him a happy smile as she passed him. For a moment, Law simply stood there and blinked, glaring at the nearby boxes as if they'd directly caused this mess.
A strong urge to kick something flashed through him.
"I'd love to stay and talk but I forgot to help brush Bepo last week and I don't want him to get matts in his fur!" She cried, waving as she briskly walked by in the hall, her footsteps echoing off the metal floors of the submarine.
It took all of his strength not to bang his head against the wall repeatedly.
"The deck looks like it needs a good mopping."
"Honestly, when's the last time anyone's disinfected the training equipment? I'm afraid to touch any of it. I'll just clean it myself then."
"Some of the others were going to train, I think I'll join them."
After about the tenth chore of the day, Law had had enough. It was already past dinnertime, everything that could have possibly been done on the sub finished, cleaned, or counted. Every inch of the place was spotless, there weren't any other clothes to wash, even the infirmary's tools had been disinfected.
Being cockblocked for hours on end was a taxing experience, but Law was determined to get his way. And it came after Lexi spent an hour or so training her skills with the other members of the crew. Law had retired for the night, intent on catching her when she returned to their shared quarters.
As he expected, the door cracked open and the brunette wandered inside, looking positively spent, a sheen of sweat mark her forehead.
"You've been quite busy today." Law commented neutrally, as if only making small talk. It was more of a testing the waters sort of topic. Just to be sure there was nothing else ridiculous that she felt the need to do today.
Sighing heavily, Lexi nodded, taking off her shoes and tossing them next to Law's own sitting by his desk. "Mhmm. Sleep sounds amazing right now."
Amused, Law wondered what she'd think about his own plans for that night, seeing as it was the exact opposite of sleep.
"Shower first." She muttered, more to herself than anything, before slipping away into the attached bathroom and closing the cloth curtain covering the doorway behind her. Eyeing the barrier with the very last shred of his patience, Law heard the rustling of Lexi's clothes being taken off, the sound of running water following a few moments later.
That's it. The mental image of her naked body was enough to make him throw any hesitation out of his mind, and he stood from the bed. He'd been on edge since that morning, and it was entirely her fault.
Shifting the curtain aside, he stepped into the bathroom and saw that the glass of the shower had already fogged up from the hot water, seeing only the darker silhouette of Lexi as she washed her hair. She gave no indication that she'd seen him enter. His amused grin returned as he began stripping off his own clothing as silently as possible.
There was nothing better than a hot shower after getting all sweaty and dirty, Lexi thought, eyes closed to the wonderful sensation of washing away all the grime and exertion of the day. While she believed the plan had worked perfectly, it still took a hell of a lot out of her, a whole lot more work than she'd anticipated.
At least she won the bet. Shachi owed her a lot of money for this. Ha, that ought to teach him never to doubt her again. Or…technically, Law. He was the one being tested all day after all. Of course, now she simply waited to be punished for the results of her actions.
Even she'd been impressed that Law had lasted an entire day of being sexually frustrated and ignored. Her wager had only been six hours, but he'd gone above and beyond that time frame. Shachi, having no faith in his Captain whatsoever, had bet that their fearless leader wouldn't be able to last three.
Lexi was willing to bet his own pride as a man was fueling his resistance to simply give into his urges and stop whatever it was she'd been doing at the time. Also the fact that things were getting done in terms of work probably had an effect on it. Grinning at the mental image of a flustered Law barely holding it together just because he was supposed to be the 'big, bad, scary pirate' was just too funny.
The brunette dipped her head under the stream of water to rinse out the shampoo, closing her eyes as the hot water ran down her face. Her fingers scrubbed at the strands, smoothing out all of the excess product, massaging her scalp roughly to relieve some of the tension.
Sighing through her nose, eyes still closed from the soapy water in her face, she reached blindly behind her for the bottle of conditioner she knew was there, hand searching back and forth for the cold plastic.
What she touched instead was a very hot, smooth chest that was suddenly very close behind her. Her unexpected guest made her jump, pulling her hand back hurriedly in the process, but before she could even think, strong hands gripped her arms and pushed her back against the cold wall of the shower.
His chest trapped her hands between them, forcing her to run her fingers over his heated skin, a vastly different contrast to the chilled surface against her back that made her open her mouth in a loud gasp. "What-" His lips sealed hers in a deep kiss and cut off the rest of whatever she'd tried to say.
The water continued down on the two of them, hot streams running down their chests to the ground below. Law's hands traveled the path of water either side of her breasts, leisurely stroking the bare skin as their kiss never broke. Lexi shivered both with anticipation at his touch, promising so many dark and wonderful things, and the still-cold wall at her back that raised multitudes of goosebumps across her flesh.
When his fingers trailed to the peak of her breast, absently flicking the nipple with his thumb, the brunette arched her back towards him, moaning into his mouth to let her pleasure be known. Without even having to look she could feel his pleased smirk against her lips. He'd always liked the sounds she made.
The sensations never ceased, switching from rolling her nipples between his fingers and kneading her breast roughly. All the while, Lexi twitched and struggled to keep up with his lips moving against hers in a dominating battle of passion and retribution.
Breaking away for air, Lexi gasped out breathlessly. "Law-" She tried to say in a ragged voice, but he continued his onslaught of pleasure without apology, one hand snaking up to tilt back her chin, exposing the soft skin of her neck to his lips. The other never ceased it's ministrations on her breast, further increasing that excitement growing within her loins. Whatever she'd tried to say died on her tongue with the feelings shooting through her body in ways her mind couldn't quite keep up with.
Lexi's body felt as if it were on fire, a blaze not even the shower could put out, the heat growing with each touch and kiss against her skin. To go up in flames had never felt so magnificent.
Her hands freed themselves from between their bodies and drifted up his shoulders into his hair, fisting the strands to anchor herself as his lips perused underneath her jaw. They licked a path close to her ear, and with every especially sensitive spot she would give a sharp tug, a silent plea not to stop. His breath ghosted on the shell of her ear for an agonizing moment, too long a moment.
She tensed with ragged, bated breaths, waiting for him to continue making her feel good, but when he simply hovered over the same spot, as if intentionally prolonging her yearning for more, she huffed irritatedly and moved her hips to brush against his own growing lust with impatience.
"Stop the fucking teasing…" The brunette hissed, in a hurry as always to find her own release. Once the dam that was her patience began to crack, there was no slowing down. Slipping a hand from his hair, she trailed her fingers down his tattooed chest, savoring his hardened muscles along the way, reaching lower to stroke his hard member that pushed against her thigh. Lexi felt Law's breath hitch against her neck, and the muscles in his shoulders tensed for a moment. He growled, and leaned forward to harshly bite her earlobe in retaliation.
The hand previously occupied with lavishing her breasts flashed out and seized her wrist, forcing her hand away from him and pinning it to the wall beside her head with a loud thud. It was rough and angry, a combination Lexi found was all the more alluring. Law pulled away, flashing her a dark and mischievous smirk. "Wait your turn." He muttered huskily. It was a casual reminder that this was not love, or lust, but a punishment, and he'd continue to torture her as he saw fit. Her fingers flexed tightly against his hold, yearning to reach out and touch him again, but his grip was strong.
His lips returning to hers in a heated kiss, his tongue pushing past her lips to taste her, like a starving man given a banquet. This time, no longer stunned from his initial intrusion of her shower, she kept a firm hold in his hair with her free hand, pulling him closer as she pushed as much force as she could into their kiss. Law refused to give. Lexi fought valiantly. Nevertheless, she could never manage to take control, no matter how hard she tried.
His low chuckle against her lips was the only indication he knew what she was trying to do, so she tried using the element of surprise. Smirking with delight, she bit down on his lower lip and slowly pulled away, never releasing him from her teeth. Her actions elicited a needy groan, and the next instant his hand let go of her wrist. Not expecting him to relinquish her arm, she cracked open her eyes and gasped just in time to see him lean down enough to wrap his arms underneath her thighs, hoisting her up with ease to press harder against the wall again.
Lexi's legs automatically wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer to her center. Not one to shirk her partner, Lexi's hips started a steady pace grinding against his own, holding onto his shoulders to keep her steady. Both groaned aloud, and Lexi's eyes fluttered shut, her breathing heavy and shaky. The captain's fingers dug circles into her ass, stroking the flesh in tight patterns as he squeezed and kneaded.
Frowning, the brunette let out a frustrated and demanding moan. All these touches promised a whisper of pleasure, but nowhere near the amount she was craving, the amount she needed. Her body needed more.
"Law…" Came her breathless whisper, eyes becoming half-shuttered as she gazed at the man before her. Those gray eyes held as much want and lust as her own, and he understood what she was asking without words. Neither of them were ever big on talking during their sessions. It simply got in the way. Their pleasure always came first.
Without a word, he lined himself up with her center, the water helping to slick up their bodies, adjusting his hold on her thighs for support. Then, with a grin and a dark chuckle, he slid into her with excruciatingly leisurely thrust, intentionally leaving her feeling a mixture of pleasure and impatience all at once.
Law let loose a pent up breath as he pulled back and repeated the sluggish movement. Lexi couldn't help but sigh pleasurably, her nails digging into his shoulders. The sensation of him filling her knocked her breath away, and she squeezed her thighs to get him to go faster, but Law did no such thing, instead leaning his forehead on hers as he adopted the slow pace he was so keen to torture her with.
If this were any other situation, Lexi probably would have been fine with the easy start to their…activities. This, however, was nothing short of agony. With each easy thrust he left her sated yet wanting so much more, even as his own breathing was becoming heavier with every union, ignoring the urge to finish her right then.
Lexi's head fell back onto the wall, feeling the extremely slow build to her release, her own thrusting hips to meet his doing nothing to speed the process along. "Please…" Was her passionate cry, panting with physical effort of trying to reach her finish. Silently, he lowered his forehead to her chest, parallel to her collar bone.
Something in Law must have decided to relent, to give into her wishes, because he let out a particularly long, shaky sigh as he gripped tighter to her thighs, minutely changing his angle to hit a different spot deep within. Like a switch, he increased his pace, their hips meeting in a fervor that Lexi had yearned for. This new angle seemed to hit just right, stretching her to a new toe-curling degree.
Gasping and panting for air with each thrust, Lexi's heels dug into his back, encouraging him on. The water streamed over them, running down Lexi's face and Law's hair. Neither felt the heat from the shower anymore, instead the sweat of their exertions left them hot and barely aware that they were still even in the shower at all.
That crescendoing coiling in the pit of her stomach was accompanied by a stream of nonsensical moans and uttering of his name, combined with a whole other slew of curse words. Her release was so close, she could feel it right on the brink. Even Law was breathing heavy with his thrusts, determined to push her over the edge before following after.
With a few final thrusts Lexi's entire body tensed and she cried out, her legs tightening around his hips in a painful vice, pulling him deep into her as her muscles spasmed. The captain continued on for several more sharp digs, searching for his own release with bated breath. The clenching of her walls helped bring him there, and he tensed against her with a low groan, leaning into her chest to bite her shoulder as he released into her.
For several moments they remained as they were, Lexi trembling around his waist as she gasped for much-needed air. Eyes closed and chest heaving, she felt Law's hot breaths against her breast. Slowly, she untangled her legs from his waist and he gently set her onto her own feet again. Bracing herself against the wall so she wouldn't collapse, Lexi brushed aside her wet hair.
Law's hand wrapped around her waist and kept her there against the shower wall, taking a moment to relish the feel of the slowly-chilling water to wash over him. They both opened their eyes when Lexi began to chuckle under her breath.
"I could get used to receiving that sort of punishment." Was her lusty response, eyeing him with the lingering lust from their session of heated exertion. Smirking lazily, Law leaned down and kissed her, reaching over to turn off the water that was no longer doing anything of use.
"Don't think I've quite finished with you." He replied as he gripped her wrist again, backing away to open the door of the shower with her in tow. Bypassing the towels on the rack, he turned to face her again.
"Wha!" Lexi's shriek echoed in the bathroom as he leaned down and picked her up by the waist, throwing her halfway over his shoulder with a grunt. "Law!" She giggled, pretending to kick her feet and try to escape. He ignored her attempts and stepped in the direction of the bedroom where he was fully intent on continuing where they'd left off.
His only reply was a chuckle, giving her ass a hard smack as he brought them both over to his bed. This was going to be a long night.
A/N- Was it...satisfactory? :o Good? Did I suck? *Hides behind hands* Like I said, I'VE NEVER WRITTEN A LEMON BEFORE SO PLEASE TELL ME HOW IT WAS AND WHAT I CAN DO TO IMPROVE. It would be much appreciated.
As always, be sure to follow, favorite, and leave a review letting me know what you think!
