A/N- Ok, so I don't know why but while writing this chapter, I was listening to the song 'You Can't Escape Me' nonstop, so I guess this chapter is sort of based on that? I don't know. It just had a cool beat which made it easier to write out. So, go check out the song if you want to set the mood a little bit? It's up to you!

Anyways, I'd just like to warn you that this chapter is Rated M for it's Lemon Scent. If you don't feel comfortable reading that stuff, you may want to skip this chapter. :) The rest of you, continue on!

Dragondancer81- Glad you enjoyed the Brittany part! Since writing that one shot I wanted Lexi to get the message, but I couldn't quite figure out how that would work into the canon until now. XD Well, kinda sorta in response to your Luffy questions.

MilkTree925- Thank you, and you as well! :D I was really happy to write that part with her and Sanji, she finally got to hear from her friend!

AmericanNidiot- Ehehehe, I doubt they will, but I guess stories have been taken down for much less? I don't wanna risk it! :) I'm sure she'll study him another time. XD

Apple Bloom- Thank you! I'm hoping that people will still submit their suggestions, though I really don't see why fanfiction has a rule about the requests thing in reviews. Seems all the same to me. XD

Onwards!

"Chopper?" Lexi called, ducking her head into the room where Duke Inuarashi was resting peacefully. She hadn't expected the mink leader to be awake yet, and she was correct, watching him snore loudly, the blanket covering his body moving up and down with each breath. She pursed her lips, eyes flicking around to look for the cute little reindeer in particular.

"Dr. Chopper?" She called again, leaving the Duke's room and heading off down the hall. Where had he gone? The fortress wasn't that large to begin with, and she'd already been searching ten whole minutes.

A high-pitched screaming came from further in the fortress, and Lexi stopped, listening intently to see who it was or where it came from. It wasn't a scream of pain or fear, rather of excitement or high emotion. She frowned, hearing it come closer, and thinking it sounded a lot like-

Suddenly, further down the hall, a pink-coated reindeer came barreling past, yelling Nami's name loudly as he did so. He disappeared behind the wall and Lexi jogged to see where it was he was going.

"Nami!" He cried, running his way to the further door on the left as Lexi saw from poking her head around the corner. "Nami!" Curious, she followed after him. There wasn't any sort of obligation to really follow him, but they'd gotten closer over the past several days due to their hours spent treating the wounded and going over medical techniques together.

"Chopper?" She called, seeing if she could gain the reindeer's attention, but he did not reappear from the room. He was still screaming something quite incoherent at this distance, and so she walked closer.

"They're finally here!" She caught, edging closer to the room. "They made it safely!"

Lexi froze, eyes widening at the revelation. They had finally returned? Had they really come back? Nami's enthusiastic response followed after Chopper's exclamation, and before she could think, the two Straw Hats bolted out of the room and past her in the opposite direction, barely giving the brunette a glance at all.

She jogged to try catching up with them, wanting to meet the rest of their crew, and her own Captain, of course, but the sound of her name being called stopped her in her tracks.

"Dr. Lexi!" The Heart Pirate turned, sighing at the use of the inaccurate title. Despite her adamance that she was not that extensively trained in medicine, they refused to call her otherwise. She looked to see a tiger mink running to catch up with her, before pointing down the hallway he had just come.

"Dr. Lexi, could you take a look at Master Nekomamushi's wounds again? He's refusing to cooperate with Dr. Chopper's order to sleep. A few of his bandages have unfurled."

Lexi sighed in irritation, rubbing at her forehead. "Gah, that damned cat." She muttered under her breath, knowing something like this would have happened again. "Yes, I'll be right there. Let me go get some extra supplies just in case."

The mink nodded before heading off where he'd come from, leaving Lexi standing alone in the hallway.

"That cat will use up all the medical supplies at this rate…we're low on bandages enough as it is…" Lexi continued to grumbled, walking off towards the infirmary to gather the things she'd need.

Law meandered through the woods, eyes closely following the direction the small piece of paper in his hand pulled towards. The surrounding landscape was alive with birds and other small animals chattering in the trees, almost distracting him from his task, but he kept determined, feeling a coil of anticipation and excitement as he got closer and closer to wherever the Vivre card took him. It had been almost three months since his departure. Three months since he'd last seen his crew. Too long, in his opinion. He'd missed those familiar faces.

Rolling his arm idly to try to dissipate some of the numbness that had begun to spread from the recently reattached limb, he nearly missed the dozens of heads that poked out from the bushes up ahead, right at the edge of a clearing in the pathway. He visibly smirked, casually walking closer and closer until-

"CAPTAIN!" Law winced at the volume of the cry, taking a cautionary step backwards as the entirety of his crew jumped out from their cover and ran towards where he was standing. Most prominent among them was his one and only first mate, clad in his customary orange boiler suit, and who was determinately sprinting his way over. Frowning in slight concerned, Law wondered if he would slow down or-

"Nngh!" He grunted, taking the full force of Bepo's tackle as the bear threw his entire body around him. Somehow the Captain was able to stay standing, but was also being involuntarily crushed between the tight embrace from his friend and the bear's sheer weight.

"You came for us!" Bepo cried out, affectionately rubbing his furry face onto Law's, uncaring that he was crying tears of joy all over his friend. "I missed you!" If he didn't know him any better, Law would have immediately demanded to be released, but he figured that they'd likely react in this way to begin with. It wasn't that big of a surprise, actually.

"Bepo…" He wheezed out, struggling to get a full intake of air. It wasn't that he didn't like the loud and sudden welcome from his friends, but the need to breathe outweighed any sort of joy he was currently feeling from the reunion. His lungs were slowing burning.

"All of the members of the Heart Pirates are here!" The first mate continued, seeming to hug onto his friend and Captain tighter than before. The rest of the crew must have seen Law's predicament, and Shachi stepped forward.

"Oi, Bepo! Are you trying to suffocate him?"

"Huh?" The bear stilled for several moments, realization dawning that Law was currently wincing in both pain and the effort of trying to breathe. "Oh! Sorry, sorry." He apologized with a laugh, hastily jumping off of his Captain with ease. The fact that he almost choked his own Captain to death didn't seem to bother him, considering the bear still wore a wide smile of relief.

Law sucked in a large breath, grinning despite the fact. "Nice to know I've been missed, at least." The ones nearest to him chuckled, but Bepo continued on with excitement.

"Captain, I'm so amazed that you beat Doflamingo!" Clenching his fists from the sheer awesomeness of the thought. A few other crew members were nodding in agreement, obviously caught up in the excitement, but Law raised a brow dubiously.

"No, that was Straw Hat-ya's-"

"We've got so much to catch you up on! Come on, we've got a camp set up further in the forest." Penguin interrupted, gestured behind them to indicate for him to follow.

Law considered trying to get the message across again that defeating Doflamingo had, in fact, not been his doing, but figured it would be a waste of breath. They would believe what they wanted to. So, sighing with a smile, he stepped forwards, following after his crew mates. "Ok."

They cheered again, all turning to head towards the camp they had mentioned before. Law took that moment to inspect his crew out of sheer relief. They all seemed to be in good condition, though from the bandages on Bepo's head, and a few bumps and bruises on a few of the others, it seemed they had participated in a fight just recently. That, or they'd been training together to pass the time. His hope was the latter, but with the state of the country when they'd first arrived, his gut told him the former.

His eyes narrowed, searching the crowd of pirates, who were discussing their Captain's return amongst themselves, with the dawning that he didn't spot one person that he expected to see. "Where is Lexi-ya?" Law asked Bepo, who wouldn't stray far from his side. At first he began to wonder if something was wrong, but when it became apparent that nobody looked worried or said anything about the brunette's absence, it lead him to believe nothing was overtly wrong about the situation.

"Oh, that's right!" Bepo remembered, turning to regard his friend. "Lexi decided to stay with the Mink people and help the ones who most needed medical attention. Both her and the Straw Hat's doctor are treating the wounded."

"Wounded? What happened?" Law raised a brow in curiosity, recalling the ruined entrance gate and city they'd first encountered when finding the island. They'd just gotten here and there were already more problems? This wasn't turning out like he'd hoped.

"Wait until we get back to camp, and we'll fill you in on everything that's happened since you left. It's a bit of a long story." Penguin said from further up ahead. Law hummed, passing through the trees to accompany his crew to their camp.

After dealing with the Cat Lord, Lexi hurried to go meet the new arrivals in the courtyard, descending the steps of the fortress hastily to meet her Captain again. Her smile began to widen, seeing a large, loud crowd of people gathered towards the from of the gate. She pushed through groups of minks in an attempt to get closer, then stopped short just at the edge of the clearing.

Law was nowhere to be found. Her smile faded, then turned into a small frown, as she stared out at the unfamiliar faces that were being greeted by the minks in attendance; a black-haired man with a blatant hat of straw on his head, whom Lexi assumed to be the Captain Luffy. Behind him were others; a tall, black haired woman, a dark-skinned man with an unbelievably long nose, a green-haired man with three swords at his hip, and a huge, blue-haired man who looked more like a robot than a human.

Lexi deadpanned. Yes, the rest of the crew were just as crazy as the first she'd met, just by appearance. Though, the black-haired woman looked pretty normal. Maybe there was still hope.

Feeling decidedly less enthusiastic about this reunion, Lexi searched the edges of the crowd, just in case she'd missed her Captain anywhere. He was nowhere to be found, yet she continued to search even as everyone began trickling inside the fortress for a feast in the Straw Hat's honor. The medic still followed the crowd, wondering where on earth her Captain could be.

Lexi found herself seated between the green-haired man, who's name she figured out was Zoro, and the blue-haired man named Franky. The both of them busy either pushing away the overly affectionate minks in the former's case, or welcoming them with glee in the latter's. The setting was still rather jovial, but Lexi couldn't help but feel like the arrival of the new people was a bit bittersweet, considering her own nakama was still missing. She wondered why.

Franky must have noticed her sigh, or just the lack of talk and merriment as the rest of them, and he turned to regard her for the first time. "Eh? I don't think we've met before. You're one of those Heart Pirates, right?"

She nodded, taking a small sip from the drink in her hand. "Yeah, I'm Lexi, one of the medics."

"Ouh! A pleasure to make your acquaintance!" He exclaimed, doing his apparently 'famous' Super Stance, giving her a grin in greeting. "Seems like you're a little under the weather, though. What's got you down?"

"Oh, nothing really. I'm just waiting for the rest of my crew to come along." She admitted with a shrug. "During the attack, I stayed here to help treat wounded while the others fought. But afterwards, they made camp in the forest to wait for Law to return."

"Missing your nakama, I see? That's understandable!" He smirked, producing a comb seemingly out of nowhere and fixing his hair. "I'm sure they'll be back soon. Your Captain left earlier to go find you guys anyways!"

"Really?" Lexi perked up, relieved to hear the first confirmation that Law was, in fact, on Zou. It had yet to be verbalized, but now her worry seemed to decrease with that admission. "Well, then I guess I'll just wait for them all to get here."

"In the mean time, you get to party with us! Ouh!"

Lexi grinned, but was distracted by Zoro on her other side, who must have been eavesdropping on their conversation. "You're a Heart Pirate?" He asked, chugging from his mug pink of whatever alcohol the minks had available.

She nodded, figuring she'd probably have to answer that exact question multiple times during the course of the night. These pirates didn't seem to really get it the first time.

"Hmph. Guess you're our ally then." He didn't seem too thrilled by that revelation, though, nighter did Lexi. Especially considering these people were as crazy as crazy could get. "How tough was this Jack guy anyways?"

Lexi shrugged, picking bits from her plate and nibbling on them throughout the conversation. "I never saw him face to face, but from what the others have told me, he never was taken down, even after 5 whole days of fighting."

"Ah, sounds like a worthy challenge." He grinned, proceeding to turn the other way and ignore anything that Lexi may have wanted to say next. Not that there way. But still. Rude.

She raised a brow, attention suddenly caught by Luffy who was seated beside Zoro. Using his rubber powers, which Lexi had yet to actually witness, he reached across the space for the food and grabbed another few items of dinner, a moment later his arm snapping back into place with the meat in hand. She sweatdropped, her tolerance of strange slowly sinking lower and lower. Sooner or later, her brain was probably going to explode from all the stimuli.

"Ooh!" Came his sudden cry, spotting her sitting at the edge of the gathering. "Are you going to eat that?" He asked, eyeing the half-eaten leg of meat still on her plate.

"Actually-"

Before she could fully form a sentence, his rubber arm shot towards the meat and wrapped around it, pulling it back towards him where he prompts stuffed the whole thing in his mouth, devouring it in one bite.

"…I guess not." She finished lamely, lowering her hand which she'd raised in defense. Luffy laughed wholeheartedly, pulling the bare bone from her meat out of his mouth and threw it onto the plate with dozens of the same.

"You're one of Tra-guy's friends, aren't you?" He smiled wide with closed eyes. "Traffy is pretty cool when you get to know him! Is he always that grumpy though?"

Lexi nearly spit out the mouth full of juice she was currently drinking at his questions. Swallowing it harshly, she burst into laughter, holding her sides in from the stitch that threatened to form.

A few of the Straw Hats nearest her gave her a strange look, but she soon calmed down enough to speak again. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but..did you say…Tra-guy? Traffy!?"

"Yup! Traffy never seems to smile that much. Don't you guys do fun thinks on your adventure? If you don't, you should! Maybe that'll cheer him up."

Lexi was still struggling to contain her amusement, holding her mouth shut as she laughed at the atrocious nickname Luffy had attributed to her Captain. Oh, she was so going to use that against him someday. Already, she could imagine the unamused and angry look on his face when she called him that. Endless amounts of teasing were now being formulated.

Lexi tried keeping her giggling under control, but a few fits escaped her power. "I'll be sure to…hehehehe…tell him that."

"Great!" Luffy smiled widely, directing his attention to the long-nosed man across the room. "Usopp! Do they have more meat? I want more meat!"

The two began a heated conversation about the concept of moderation during meals, but Lexi tuned out most of it, instead trying to finish he rest of the food on her own plate before one of Luffy's rubber hands snatched out to grab it first. The morose mood from before seemed to ebb away slowly, and she felt much more content with herself after several minutes. Perhaps she was just overly emotional today. It had been pretty crazy to begin with, anyways.

Or, she was just missing her Captain. That was also likely.

Law and the rest of his crew followed the path back to the fortress, with his subordinates talking quietly amongst themselves. Or, rather loudly, in Shachi and Penguin's case, about whether they had looked cooler than the other battling against Jack's men. Law rolled his eyes, and they rounded the bend in the road. The pathway ahead cleared and opened up, revealing the hulking mass of the fortress itself. Already, he could see several of the Straw Hat members visibly goofing around in the front, and he prepared himself for another episode of antics he'd rather not deal with at that moment.

As they approached closer, he could hear bits and pieces of their conversation, such as the swordsman's threats against a ridiculously large cat creature laying unconscious on the steps, whom the reindeer was currently trying to heal up again. And, whom Luffy was also currently jumping up and down on. Law sighed. What possessed him to make this alliance in the first place, he'd never remember clearly enough to put up with their shenanigans without complaint.

Luffy perked up, finally noticing him and his crew walking up towards them. "Oh, Tra-guy!" He called, and the Heart Pirates Captain inwardly twitched at the awful nickname. "Ah! Are those your friends?"

Glad that they were finally getting to the point, Law nodded, gesturing behind him to indicate those serving under him. "Yeah, I came to introduce you to them. They're my crew, 20 in total."

Of course, being the eccentrics that they are, his crew members all stuck a dramatic pose, greetings the Straw Hats with enthusiasm. Figuring that was enough of that, he walked closer to the Straw Hat Captain, now wanting to get onto business. "We need to talk."

Luffy turned towards him, but before they could speak another word, his men spoke up again in outrage.

"Slighted! Slighted! Captain, we feel slighted!"

Law sighed, tugging the brim of his hat over his eyes just a little more. It was going to be a long night.

After the feast of epic proportions, Lexi had excused herself to bed, feeling quite tired from the loud noises and overenthusiastic minks and people. She wasn't one of those types of people that could draw energy from the people around her. Retreating to be by herself was what recharged her battery, so to speak. So, without much warning to anyone other than Chopper, who asked in concern if she was feeling alright, she left the dining hall and went to find her own room.

It was pretty far into the fortress, set back aways initially because of the threat of the poisonous gas in the air when she'd first arrived, but now that it was gone, she had yet to request a new location. Not that she minded in the first place. In fact, because it was set further away from the Straw Hat's rooms than where it normally would be, Lexi was actually pretty grateful. The brunette got enough of them during the day as it was.

She'd found the room and wandered inside, quickly changing into something more comfortable to wear to bed. She yawned tiredly, dropping down onto the covers once she'd turned off the light, not bothering to get underneath them.

That had been several hours ago. And now, Lexi found herself being woken up to the sound of a loud knock at her door. She cracked open an eye, peering into the darkness to try to figure out who it could possibly be, but to no avail. Since the room was lacking a clock of any kind, it was impossible to tell just how late she was being woken. But, judging by her less-than-stellar mood as doing so, Lexi was willing to bet it was pretty damn late.

Hearing another few knocks from the wood door, she grumbled into he pillow. It didn't sound like the person at the door would be leaving anytime soon, and so she groggily rose from the bed and padded slowly over to the door, laying her hand on the knob for a few moments while she yawned.

Once again, the person knocked. Irritated, Lexi twisted the knob and threw open the door angrily. "What is it?" She spat, rubbing at her eyes to get rid of the sleep. If she was going to be angry at whoever this was, then she'd be-

She stopped, her eyes having opened to see just who was standing before her. An amused Law, complete with signature smirk and fuzzy hat…and the strange addition of a bandaged arm, was leaning against the doorframe. Lexi took her time to enjoy the sight of his half-open black shirt, admiring the tattoos that peeked into view from underneath teasingly. He didn't seem to mind the staring.

"Law?" She asked lamely, which caused him to laugh under his breath, pushing off the doorframe and stalking closer towards her. She took a few steps backwards, allowing him inside unwittingly.

"The one and only." He purred, reaching behind him to shut the door. His tone was low, gravelly even, and Lexi's eyes lowered halfway at hearing such a seductive sound. Oh, she'd been waiting awhile to hear his voice again.

The irritation from before melted away, and before she could really think about what she was doing, Lexi stepped forward to close the distance between them, grabbing onto the collar of his shirt to pull his closer, and kissed him with a quickly rising desperation to feel him against her.

The action seemed to catch Law off guard somewhat, but within moments his arms were wrapped around her waist, pulling her the last few inches closer so she was standing flush against him. The ferocity of Lexi's kiss was both startling and sexy as hell. Law wasn't complaining, but he couldn't help but find it a little amusing.

"Not even a hello?" He whispered against her lips coarsely. As retaliation for interrupting their kiss to ask a stupid question, Lexi leaned forward and bit his lower lip, tugging it through her teeth with excruciating slowness.

"Stop talking." Was her only response, coming across as a breathless demand. Law's amused chuckle was cut off by her lips seeking his again.

Lexi allowed a few quiet moans to escape her mouth as their lips moved against each other, and Law felt more than heard them. Struggling to hold back a groan of his own at how delicious that sound was, the Captain tightened his fingers at her back. The brunette's hands released his collar and snuck their way around his neck, then even higher until she'd dug her fingers underneath his hat, causing it to fall to the floor, to tug at his unruly strands of hair.

Then, to his surprise, she pushed him roughly into the door, his back colliding with the wood with such a force to momentarily knock the breath out of him. They separated to breathe, but Lexi wasn't done, gripping the front of his shirt and ripping it open, a few of the buttons flying off from the force. Not a moment later, she slipped the ruined shirt off of his shoulders to the floor.

She heard him growl low in his throat, either from pleasure or a warning, she couldn't tell. Nor did she care, too lost in her own high of excitement at seeing her Captain again. She'd been feeling frustrated for quite some time, and damn her if she would wait any longer than she had to.

Her hands and tongue perused his exposed chest greedily, following the outlines of his tattoos. The feeling of her wet appendage against his skin made him exhale shakily as she travelled lower and lower. Realizing that he was losing control of the situation with a small amount of irk, Law's hands drifted below her t-shirt. Without warning, he practically ripped the material off of her, momentarily halting her progress on his chest as she was relieved of her clothing.

Deciding that he would be taking charge again, thoughts mostly driven now by the growing lust swirling in his blood, he gripped below her chin and forced her to stand straighter, guiding her lips back to his in a hungry and somewhat punishing kiss. They both groaned at the sensation of being reunited again, the time apart pushing their suppressed feelings over the past few months up to the forefront, bringing with it the desire to fuck the other senseless.

"Sex. Now." Lexi panted against his mouth, hand lowering to the hard bulge of his jeans. She couldn't think of anything more complex than that in her state of mind, and he crushed any further thoughts from her anyways by hoisting her up by her thighs, never breaking the union of their lips. This position placed her center agonizingly close to his own growing problem, and he nearly gave into the urge to fuck the brunette against the wall and surpass the bed entirely.

Lexi felt the soft bed against her back after several moments of being carried, and the desperate man above her, pressing her deeper into the covers as he ravaged her, shoving his tongue into her own mouth to taste her after such a long time. Their tongues battling for dominance, he sought out her breasts. He thanked the universe upon remembering that Lexi slept without a bra, and tonight had been no different, giving him instant access to the flesh of her chest.

He squeezed none too gently, and she couldn't hold back the gasp it caused. Lexi nipped against his lip in punishment, but it did not stop him from continuing his assault, rolling her nipples between finger and thumb to enhance the pleasure.

She twitched from the pleasurable assault on her body, all the while using her nails to scratch his shoulders and chest lightly. She was a bit more forgiving to his injured arm, tracing the bandages lightly so as not to cause pain.

One hand continuing to pleasure her breasts, the other trailed lower to tug insistently at his shorts, demanding they be taken off. They twisted and shifted, finally drawing the shorts completely down her legs, before Law threw them carelessly behind him to land somewhere on the floor.

Her legs wrapped themselves around his waist, pulling him closer to where she needed him most in that moment. His clothed member brushed against her own barely covered sex, and she couldn't hold back the shudder that wracked her body at the anticipation. Wanting him to feel good as well, she lowered one hand to slip underneath the waistband of his pants, feeling his hard, heated skin with her own fingers as she rubbed him.

He hissed in unison, hips thrusting minutely in an unconscious effort to feel more of her hand, and during his momentary lapse of coherence she used her momentum to flip them over so she was on top. Using her new position for leverage, she hastily undid the zipper of his jeans, anxious hands pulling his pants and boxers down to bare his arousal to her. He helped her discard his last remaining clothing, returning her lustful gaze with each and every one of his dark intentions for that night. She stared back, wondering how the dark gaze of this one man could do so much to her.

Her hips rocked back and forth above him, creating a torturous, hot friction that had Law groaning without care, digging his fingers into them with a bruising strength. Lexi's hands dug themselves into her own hair, needing something to hold onto and inadvertently giving Law the perfect view of her breasts and abdominal muscles at work as she moved above him. He watched in lustful fascination, eyes half-lidded at the beauty losing herself in the pleasure, mouth open at the sensation of him rubbing against her.

Unable to take anymore of this, Law exhaled harshly, twisting his hips and following after her as he flipped them around again, gaining him a more dominant position once more. The Captain was too impatient to bother taking off her panties, and so he simply shifted them to the side and brought himself to her entrance.

Lexi's hands moved to his shoulders in preparation, body throbbing, chest rising and falling rapidly, staring up into his gray eyes with all the relief and joy she felt at having him return, all the while participating in the brutal eye-fucking that was currently waging between them. But the long stare was interrupted when Law entered her in one long thrust, Lexi shutting her eyes in pleasure.

Both pirates moaned at the joined sensation. Lexi, at feeling so completely filled. Law, and finally experiencing her wet, warm sheath again. They'd both been dying to do this for months, always lingering in the back of their minds, and it was just as pleasurable as they'd imagined it would be.

Law slowly increased his pace, moving in and out inside her, knowing that she'd probably need time to adjust after so long. But the first few thrusts were all she needed, before her fingers tightened around his skin and her whimpers of pleasure began. Eyes closing to the musical tone to her gasps and moans, Law pushed into her faster, harder than before, building up both of their climaxes in one.

He was not gentle, but neither was she. Pushing her hips up to meet his thrusts each time, and harshly scraping her nails against the flesh she could reach, Lexi gave as good as she got. The force of his thrusts caused her breasts to bounce between them, and Law was mesmerized by the sight.

His show was cut off by Lexi leaning upwards to capture his lips with hers again, leading them in a much gentler kiss from before, contrasted by the brutal fucking he was giving her. Each entry had him filling her completely, almost painfully so, before drawing back and doing it all over again.

Law leaned closer to more comfortably return her liplock, pausing in his thrusts to position her legs over his shoulders while doing so. He picked up his pace again, hitting a new spot deep inside her that had her toes curling in pleasure.

"Ahh…" Lexi moaned out, unable to stop the growing coil of her approaching orgasm deep in her belly. "Law…" She gasped out, panting breathlessly with each hard thrust he gave her.

His own breath coming out in rapid pants, Law opened his eyes to see her flushed face, sweat-glistening body as she took everything he gave her, hearing the desperate plea in the undertones of his name, reveling in the sight of his woman being fucked by him. God, he couldn't get enough of her. He could never get enough.

Finding a newfound desire to make her lose control, his thrusts became erratic, frantic, sharply hitting her womb deep inside each time they connected. The slaps of their skin punctuated every one of Lexi's moans, which rose higher and higher as her climax neared.

Law moaned deep in his throat as he felt that familiar tightening of her walls around him, before her whole body tensed and she whimpered in pleasure with each wave it sent spasming through her. It took several more thrusts, plus Lexi's muscles squeezing him, before Law reached his own dizzying orgasm, spilling himself into her throbbing sheath with shaking breaths and a subconscious groan of satisfaction. Intent to prolong their pleasure, he thrust lazily throughout the experience, finally slowing to a stop and collapsing on to of her.

They lay there, slightly dazed and exhausted from the round of sex, muscles quivering from overuse, panting into the comforter as they regain their breath. The temperature of the room had risen with their exertions, and sweat coated both of their bodies.

Minutes of silence and getting their heart beats back under control, Lexi turned her head to softly kiss Law's cheek, hands moving to wrap themselves around his neck. "Welcome back, Captain." She whispered, realizing she hadn't actually ever greeted him from his return. Then remembering something from earlier that day, a sly smirk overtook her face. "Or should I say...Traffy."

Law stilled at the nickname, harshly biting her breast which was closest to her face, and she gasped sharply.

"I see you've met Straw Hat-ya..." He sighed deeply, content to simply lay there for awhile. She giggled, her chest rising up and down with each laugh.

"He's quite a kid. I don't understand how you've put up with all nine of those pirates for so long." Her fingers brushed gently through his hair soothingly, almost apologizing for calling him such a ridiculous name to begin with. Almost. "They're all crazy."

"I already know that. They've been the main source of my stress for almost three months." He grumbled. She grinned.

"Well hey, I'm sure I helped to alleviate some of the stress, yeah?" His chest rumbled with his laugh, and he turned to eye her mischievously.

"If this is the sort of greeting I'll get, then perhaps I should leave with them more often."

"Don't." Lexi lightly slapped his shoulder, grinning at the smile on his face. It was really good to see him again after so long. Her gaze drifted down to his bandages arm, and she trailed a finger gently across the bandage. "What happened here, anyways?"

"Later." He explained, leaning in closer. His other hand trailed up the side of her chest teasingly. "I'm not entirely finished with you." He promised with that dark glint in his eyes, and she giggled, accepting his hungry kiss again.

A/N- So, my second-ever lemon. I'm more confident in this one than the first, but I'd still like to know what you thought of it, critique-wise. What details need to be added? Taken out? How could I improve upon it? Lemons are my most stressful types of chapters to write, simply because I'm inexperienced in writing them.

Ah, Lexi is back with her Captain. But, uh, you probably shouldn't disturb them for a few days. They've got three months to catch up on after all. Might be a while...

As always, please let me know you enjoyed with a follow, favorite, or review! :)
