The early morning sun shone through the thin white curtains, painting the hotel's bed with its bright, luminous glow and bathing the room in gold.
One of the bed's occupants winced at the feeling of sunshine beaming in her eyes. In reaction, she shuffled her body closer to her sleeping companion, pressing her cheek against his hard chest and resting her arm on his middle.
He looked almost like a starfish with the way his arms and legs were outspread.
Nami cracked an eye open, no longer feeling tired, and peeked at his face slyly.
The first thing she noticed, was the familiar way his mouth hung open as he breathed deeply.
It was a little hard to get a good look at his face whilst laying on his chest, so Nami grabbed his right arm and placed it next to his side to allow her to rest on her pillow.
Feeling her shuffle around, Luffy let out a large breath of air, then tossed himself over to lay on his side. This gave her an even greater view of his face. A great view indeed.
Nami swallowed thickly.
They were so close. Something she wasn't used to.
Sleeping next to a man naked, especially when it's Luffy, was something she still couldn't fathom. The fact that her captain was completely bare under the thin bedspread made her feel fuzzy as butterflies swarmed in her belly. It didn't help that every time he exhaled, she could feel his breath ruffle her bangs and tickle her skin.
She figured it'd be a long while before he woke up, so that allowed her time to think about their situation.
Last night, she was so lost in the moment that she agreed to have an explicit sexual relationship with him, on the terms that the crew never found out of course.
It was kind of crazy now that she thought about it.
How did they plan to accomplish that? They share rooms when on the ship, so how would they ever get the opportunity for intimacy?
Were they going to restrict physical contact to only when they discover islands?
Frowning at the thought, Nami's eyes leisurely traveled down his exposed torso, making sure she gave each muscle a good look.
'Yeah no…'
There's no way they can hold out for that long. Or at least she can't.
It took around two months to come across a new island, and in that time, she was constantly frustrated. What's worse, is the fact that he constantly wears his shirt unbuttoned. It felt like he was teasing her with his chiseled chest. It drove her mad.
Now that they've crossed the line twice , it'd be impossible to only experience it every time they were on land. Plus, if they snuck away every time they reached an island, it'd probably be obvious that they were up to something. The crew would find out in no time.
'So how would it work?'
Realizing how seriously she was thinking about it, Nami blushed at her little self control.
They weren't animals.
If they couldn't touch each other for a few months then…
For…for some reason that was a scary thought.
As she pondered how their arrangement would work, Nami stared at his sleeping face with great interest, until she eventually forgot what she was thinking about and observed his features.
Every time she sees him sleeping, it always amazes her how peaceful he seems. A complete opposite to when he's awake.
Luffy's mouth mimicked gentle chewing motions, then his lips parted as he continued his steady breathing. She openly stared at him, taking advantage of his tranquil behavior.
'Actually…' Nami raised her hand to brush the bangs away from his forehead. 'He's really cute.'
With the way his mouth parted and his eyes rested shut, it made him seem oddly… adorable.
Playing with a piece of his dark hair, Nami smiled softly.
'His hair's kind of rough…'
She released the strand to poke his forehead with her index finger, then trace the arch of his nose until she hit the tip.
At that, Nami couldn't help but giggle.
'His nose is cute too.'
From there, her attention fell to the scar resting below his left eye. Her curious hands were quick to trace it. In doing so, she realized she never asked how he got it. That thought made her recoil her hand slightly.
Actually, she really doesn't know anything about his life before their journey.
I mean, she knows about his two brothers. Also about his grandfather who had… strange training methods. A long time ago, she learned he got his hat from red-haired Shanks. But…Luffy never really talked about himself and they never asked about him.
All this time, Nami never felt like it was important, but now… now she wanted to learn.
She wanted to know who raised him, what he was like as a kid, his likes and dislikes, stories of his past…just… everything.
She's not sure where the sudden curiosity came from, but it was apparent that she was more interested in him.
Her eyes fell from his face to trail down his body, and with somber eyes, she stared at the brutal scar covering his chest. Hesitantly, she traced it sadly.
Would it be too much to ask him how he got it?
I mean, obviously it was during the paramount war, but who did it?
To be honest, Nami's been wanting to ask him that for a while, but felt like she'd be overstepping. It would probably remind him of Ace's death, and she didn't want to make him relive something traumatic just so she can ease her curiosity.
Nami continued, rubbing her hand against his marred piece of flesh, looking dejected.
What she didn't notice was a pair of onyx eyes, tiredly staring at her sorrowful face.
Luffy started waking up because he thought a bug was on him, but when his eyes peeled open he was granted a view of her staring at his chest. It was kind of strange seeing her so downhearted while gazing at him.
As dumb as he is, Luffy was quick to catch on. With the way she sadly traced the horrific mark, he knew she was thinking about its origin.
When she lowered her head and placed a chaste kiss on the center of it, Luffy's brows furrowed gently.
As she placed her head on the pillow once more, her eyes came in contact with his own causing her body to freeze.
Luffy just stared at her, blinking curiously.
Slightly blushing, she stuttered, "W-why are you awake?"
He smiled. "Thought there was a bug on my face. It was just you huh?"
The girl turned away from him with a hint of red dusting her cheeks then cleared her throat to ease the grogginess in her voice.
"I was just…um." She turned to look at him once more, feeling like she was caught doing something she shouldn't have. "How'd you sleep?" She asked, effectively changing the subject.
With a cheesy smile, he replied, "Good."
Nami stared at him with a certain intensity that he couldn't understand. She looked serious, and a little confused at the same time.
Luffy's mouth slanted, giving her a confused smile as Nami stared at him.
She was only trying to find the confidence to ask…"Did you like it?"
Once the words came out of her mouth, it felt like a weight was slammed into her chest. It felt so nerve wracking.
Luffy, not understanding the random question, blinked at her.
His silence caused her to fidget. She studied his reaction and almost deadpanned when she saw that familiar, stupid look on his face.
With an annoyed huff, she clarified, "Last night. Did you. Like it? "
Luffy's eyes widened as it finally clicked.
"Ohh."
Tons of images came to his mind. Mental recaps of her sounds and touch left goosebumps on his skin. As he recalled the events from last night he smiled widely.
"I did." He spoke matter of factly. His voice seemed suggestive, like he was teasing her.
Nami Blushed at his smug face, then raised her arms to give a nice long stretch. A much needed one.
As she tightened the muscles of her arms and legs, a dull pain resonated from her legs as if she were sore.
Nami looked at her lower half inquisitively, not sure why her legs, of all places, would hurt.
Luffy caught her muddled expression and glanced at her covered legs as well.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
Nami frowned slightly. "I don't know, my legs hurt."
Hearing that, Luffy reached for the blanket, grabbing the edge of it, and started pulling it down. Realizing what he was planning, Nami gripped his wrist and released a squeak of shock and embarrassment.
"Y-you can't just do that!" She chastised, causing the man beside her to blink curiously.
"Why not? I've already seen it."
That caused Nami to feel even more embarrassed.
She sighed.
It was hopeless explaining it to him, but he wasn't necessarily wrong. He has seen her. Plus he just wanted to see what was wrong.
"I guess you have a point." She mumbled
…
Without a second thought, Luffy peeled the bedspread off her lower half and observed her thighs closely.
"Huh." He said in partial shock and fascination. "What is that? " He said with lowered lids and a parted mouth as he inspected her.
A little frightened by that reaction, Nami sat up, taking a look at what he was talking about.
At first, she wasn't sure what happened to her. There were five bruises on each thigh.
…
'Wait…'
As she connected the dots, a magnificent blush flooded her face.
Luffy tilted his head slightly to the left as he wondered about her injuries. "How'd you get those?" he asked.
Nami blushed, almost reluctant to tell him. "Um Luffy…" She averted her eyes for a split second before returning her gaze to his oblivious face. "Last night you…" Her eyes fell to her legs as she recalled the way he desperately gripped her flesh as a plea for her grind against him.
Warmth spread throughout her body the more she thought about it.
Luffy's brows furrowed. "What'd I do?"
She felt kind of embarrassed talking about last night, but if they were going to keep doing it, they would have to learn to communicate easily.
"Uh, when I…" She swallowed thickly, having trouble locking eyes with him. "When I was…on top, you were…uh… grabbing me, and I-um…I bruised from it…" She stared at him wide-eyed. "I guess…" She added.
Luffy just stared at her in disbelief, processing that statement.
'Did he not understand?' She thought for a brief second, but when his brows furrowed in a way that reflected pure guilt, Nami instantly regretted telling him.
The man quickly scooted down the bed, getting a better look at the purplish marks he tainted her body with.
"I did that?!" He questioned frantically, looking in her eyes then back at the marks.
Luffy brushed his fingers against the blood clots in astonishment.
Nami couldn't help but feel bad for him. It's not like he meant to do it.
"Luffy it's-"
His head suddenly sprung up, desperately meeting her gaze. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! I guess I was gripping you a lot harder than I thou-"
Nami leaned forward, lightly, pressing her lips against his own to shut him up. Clearly he wasn't going to listen to her, so that seemed like the most satisfying way to gain his attention.
Luffy didn't respond, only sat there with wide eyes until she pulled away.
The way his lips remained slightly puckered in shock made her smile at the ridiculous display of surprise.
It was heartwarming that he cared so much, but she didn't want him feeling guilty for something like this. Especially when she enjoyed the way he held her. If anything, the bruises were a pleasant reminder of that heated moment.
Nami smiled warmly. "It's ok ."
Luffy's lips tightened, not buying it at all. "Really?"
She nodded then lowered her head in a playful smirk. "Actually…" Nami gripped his hand that was placed on her thigh, flipped it over and began stroking his palm. "Now we're even."
At that statement, his features twisted in confusion. "Huh?"
"Our first night together, I scratched you didn't I?" She clarified.
It took a moment for Luffy to recall exactly what she was talking about, but he definitely remembered. There was no way he could forget the feel of her nails breaking the flesh on his back. Or the way she desperately clawed him as he went harder.
Luffy's face went blank as he thought about it.
'Man that night was craaazy.' He thought.
Noticing his dazed look, Nami waved her free hand in front of his face, snapping him out of his thoughts.
Luffy blinked rapidly, dispelling the memories and focusing on the present.
"Huh?" he said.
Nami frowned. It was seriously hard to flirt with him.
"Did you forget or something?" She chastised.
The captain smiled cheekily.
" Nope ." He replied with a certain tone that ticked her off; although, she should be glad he even remembered at all.
After a short while of him just giggling to himself, Nami placed her hand over his face and pushed him away from her.
Under the palm of her hand, he mumbled, "Nami. What're you doing?"
The girl sighed and removed her hand to stand off the bed.
Luffy openly stared at her nude body, causing heat to flood her face.
"Stop staring!" She yelled, grabbing the first piece of clothing she saw, and covering herself with it.
Once again his eyes fell from her face to her body, but this time, it was to glance at the shirt in her hand.
"That's mine." He said matter of factly which caused Nami to look as well.
What do you know, it was his signature red button up with ruffled ends. On the floor, right by her feet, her girly bikini top and shorts were piled up.
She really needed to get dressed…
Nami's eyes flickered back to her captain who was looking out the window and sticking his pinky up his nose.
' Wow. So attractive.'
Feeling her eyes on him, Luffy gazed at her once more.
"Hm?"
Nami deadpanned.
No matter the situation, he never changes who he is. It's somewhat admirable, but as of right now…she wishes he'd act a little embarrassed.
"Put your clothes on." She repeated. "We gotta meet up with the crew and make sure they don't suspect us of doing anything."
Nami wasn't even surprised to see Luffy's head tilt in wonder. "Suspect us? Of what?"
With irritation, Nami sighed heavily. "Of sleeping together Luffy."
…
He nodded slowly, misunderstanding the context of her words once again.
'Are friends not allowed to sleep together?' He thought to himself.
"But I sleep with Usopp and Chopper sometimes. Why would they care if we did?"
Not being able to hold herself back, she knocked him on the head with her fist.
"Not like that!" She yelled, still gripping his shirt to her bare body. "Suspect us of having se-"
She sighed heavily, fighting a blush.
He was absolutely impossible to deal with sometimes.
" Ohhh." he hummed. "Of having sex huh. That makes sense." He pulled his arm behind his neck to stretch. "Why didn't you just say that from the start?"
The man glanced at her and flinched at the look of disappointment and pure disbelief on her face.
"Get dressed." She robotically ordered and Luffy immediately nodded.
After they looked presentable, they headed back to the lobby, arguing the whole way there about whether or not to stay another day. Luffy being the one who wanted to stay, and Nami insisting it would mess up their schedule.
As they entered the lobby, they were unaware of the other members observing them from a distance.
When Nami punched him in the head, they decided to call out to them in hopes of ending the argument before things got deadly. For Luffy.
Both Luffy and Nami looked in the direction of Chopper's voice with less than happy faces. Nami was scowling and Luffy was rubbing his head with furrowed brows.
It didn't take long for the captain to switch from upset to cheerful.
"Oh! Guys!" He yelled, running towards them with his fists in the air.
Nami huffed, crossing her arms over her chest as she followed behind him.
"What're you guys arguing about so early in the morning?" Franky questioned.
Nami turned to the cyborg, giving him an angry look. "He says he wants to stay longer, but that'll mess up our plans! Also, if we don't want the log pose to get screwed up, we need to leave by noon."
Franky smiled. "When have our plans ever played out the way we wanted them to?"
At that Nami felt stumped.
…
"I guess you have a point."
After some serious convincing, or rather after some serious threatening , Nami managed to persuade Luffy to leave at noon. The man's only request was to stop by the bar they partied at last night. He just hoped those jerks with the filthy jokes weren't contaminating the place.
As they walked into the bar, they immediately noticed it was a lot brighter than the night before.
The early morning sun shone through large rounded windows to create a comforting glow against the wooden place.
Behind the counter, the bartender, who had an interesting conversation with Luffy, was preparing a drink.
"Ahhh it's you guys!" the large man smiled, signaling them to take a seat in a welcoming manner.
"Bar guy!" Lufffy exclaimed, rather excited to see him.
At the mention of 'bar guy,' Nami studied the man dubiously as she recalled his name being brought up in her conversation with Luffy about his chest pains.
The crew took a seat at the rounded table where Nami and Zoro held their drinking contest, then began chatting amongst each other. After they were situated, the bartender approached their table with a friendly grin.
"So what can I getcha?" He glanced around the table.
"What're the options?" Sanji asked.
As he went into detail of the small menu, Nami stared at the man sternly, boring holes into the side of his face.
She still couldn't figure out why this guy told Luffy to tell her his chest hurt. Was it a joke, or was it something else entirely? Something both her and Luffy couldn't figure out.
"Oh! Oh! Takoyaki!" Luffy excitedly shouted. "Actually everything! Might as well eat a lot since we'll be heading out soon!"
"You're leaving already? Didn't you guys just get here?"
Luffy turned to Nami, glaring at her childishly. " Yeah . We just got here." He said with a petty tone of voice.
Appearing unfazed, Nami huffed, resting her chin on the palm of her hand as her elbow stood on the table. "We have other things to do." She put it simply.
The barman stared at her for a suspiciously long time causing Sanji's brow to twitch.
"Ahhh I see." He smiled knowingly. "You must be Nami right?"
From the corner of her eye she could see Usopp tense and audibly gulp. That alone was an indication this guy knew more than she thought.
Returning her attention to the man, Nami frowned. "And you are?"
Trying to relieve her tension, the man held out his hand to offer a friendly shake. "I'm Sal, the owner of the place."
There was a moment of hesitance before she extended her hand to him. When she gripped it the guy smiled knowingly.
She glared, raising her brow with sass. "How'd you know my name?"
Sal smirked. "Well, half the town knows who you are. They were cheering for you, remember?"
Something about that answer felt strange but Nami didn't want to interrogate the man. At least not in front of everyone. But this guy definitely knew more than he was letting on.
Nami retracted her hand and faked a sweet smile.
It was clear Sal was enjoying her inner turmoil, but he didn't feel like interfering with a new relationship. Or whatever the hell Luffy had going on with her.
The owner then turned his attention to Zoro.
"Ah the drinking champion. Zoro was it?"
The swordsman smirked, eyeing Nami smugly. "Hear that?" He taunted, causing the female to glare.
That hurt her ego more than she'd care to admit.
"I was just having an off day!" She retaliated.
The rest of the crew observed the interaction with amusement. Luffy was eying them very closely, realizing he felt a strange pressure in his chest again.
Sal suddenly spoke, announcing he'd tell the chef to start preparing their food, then turned to Luffy.
"Kid, come with me would ya? There's something I want you to try." He said.
Of course, Luffy smiled at him, eager to see what he was talking about.
As they approached the bar, Sal tossed an arm over Luffy's shoulders smiling widely.
"So that's her huh?"
Luffy's head arched up to stare at the man in wonder.
"Huh? Who?" Luffy remarked, completely caught off guard.
They reached the bar and Sal removed his arm from Luffy to move behind the counter.
Once Luffy took a seat, giving Sal his full attention, the bartender smirked teasingly.
"Miss Nami over there. She's the girl you were whining about the other night right?"
Recalling the drunken conversation, Luffy's eyes slightly widened. "Oh, Yeah." He said, but after a short while, his face twisted, making him appear confused. "I told her about my chest pains like you said, but she didn't really care."
Sal's brow rose. "Well what did you say?"
Childishly, Luffy spun around on the bar stool, still looking troubled. "I told her my chest was feeling weird and she said, 'that's it?' What else was I supposed to say?"
Now it was Sal's turn to look troubled. "Man, you don't know anything about this do you?"
Luffy stopped spinning. He glanced at the man, curious as to what he meant.
"Don't know about what?"
There was a moment of silence, which only intensified Luffy's interest.
"Love? Romance? Intimacy? You don't seem to get it at all."
Now it was Luffy's turn to feel confused, because he does! He knows about those things!
"I do too!" He remarked, offended. "Like, marriage and stuff…"
…
After his voice died off, Sal gave him a 'are you serious' kind of look.
"There's a lot more to it than that. Let me explain." He placed both hands on the counter to prepare for a deep explanation. "Well you at least know about making love right? I know you do."
The boy just blinked. Not once has he heard that term.
"Sex kid. Sex." Sal clarified.
"Ohhh. Yeah."
Sal shook his head in disbelief. This was going to be a lot harder than he originally thought.
"Alright well, making love is a more dignified way of saying it. Most people prefer it, but you can call it whatever you want."
Luffy nodded. He understood that at least.
"Now, as for love-"
Before he had the opportunity to explain, a woman with curly red hair appeared from the kitchen with a sultry smile on her face.
She continued the explanation for Sal. " Love can come in many forms." She leaned over the counter, coming a lot closer to Luffy than he was expecting. "The love for a family member..."
Luffy immediately thought of Ace and Sabo.
"The love for your friends..."
His crewmates came to mind.
"And the romantic kind."
…
He drew a blank. Luffy didn't want to marry anyone.
"Romantic kind?" Luffy inquired and the lady nodded slowly.
"Yep, the kind that makes your heart race."
Luffy's eyes widened causing both people behind the counter to smile knowingly.
"Huh." The young pirate captain exclaimed in amazement.
"So if my chest has been hurting around a girl, what would that mean?"
The red-haired woman raised her finger and poked him in the chest.
"Then you need to explore that feeling. Find out exactly why she makes your heart beat faster. It may be love or it may be sexual attraction."
Luffy nodded slowly, making sure he absorbed every bit of information he could.
Does that mean he loves Nami? Romantically?
That can't be.
He doesn't want to marry her though. So it can't be the answer. Does that mean it's sexual attraction that makes his heart hurt around her?
Luffy leaned towards the female, not even caring about the close proximity of their faces. He was very curious now.
"So if it is just sexual attraction, how would you know? What's the difference?"
The girl chuckled lightly. "You're very bold, aren't you?"
Realizing Luffy wasn't going to answer her, she responded to his question. "Sexual attraction is when you simply want their body. You want the pleasure they can give you, whereas romantic love is more emotional."
Luffy's brows were furrowed, not understanding her words.
Seeing his troubled features, the woman's eyes widened. She had heard from Sal that he was a dumb one, but she didn't think it'd be this bad. She really wanted to make him understand though, so she continued.
"You feel different when you're with them, you want to make time for them, you don't mind making sacrifices for them, they're more attractive in your eyes, you feel they are the one you want to see the most. If you're in love, they're probably on your mind a lot of the time. It's things like this that give you hints."
As he took in her words, Luffy's face was blank.
"So, if everything you just said is what being in love is like, why does that kind of thing happen?"
At that question, she couldn't help but furrow her brows in fascination. "What do you mean?" She asked.
With great attentiveness, she stared at him. He was a very interesting boy indeed.
"I mean, why do people fall in love?"
Both her and Sal laughed causing Luffy to squint at them in puzzlement. It seemed like a good question.
"Tell me if you find out." Sal added. "Love isn't something we ask for, it just kinda…happens I guess."
Luffy's brows furrowed as the female nodded in agreement. The captain found that ridiculous. Why would anyone enjoy a feeling that was forced on them? Something that bounds you to someone? That person constantly being on your mind seems…
'Wait…'
Luffy began to fidget on the stool as he stared at the bar counter with a skeptical look in his eyes.
So, if what that chick was saying is true…does that mean he does love Nami like that? Because he did think of her all the time, he wants to see her, he definitely feels different around her, and he's already made sacrifices for her and he'd do it again in a heartbeat. But marriage…
Luffy suddenly realized marriage was never once brought up in this conversation. So he asked, "Wait. So romantic love, doesn't mean you want to marry them?"
Both Sal and the woman froze.
"You want to get married?" Sal quickly asked.
At that, Luffy flinched, raising his hand in denial. "Nope. Absolutely not."
The bartender nodded slowly. "Alright. Well not necessarily. But if you two love each other and want to spend your lives with one another, you guys might feel like taking the next step, which would be marriage."
That right there completely blew his mind. All his life he thought romance meant wanting to marry someone.
So….If marriage doesn't have anything to do with it, then that means-
"Oh" Luffy muttered, coming to an interesting discovery.
The red-haired woman started lessening the distance between them once again because she was really curious about that look on his face.
"What? What is it?" She pried, hoping he'd spill whatever discovery he made.
Luffy looked at the woman, appearing as normal as ever, and said, "I think I-"
Someone aggressively clearing their throat interrupted his statement.
All parties turned to look at the person responsible and both Sal and Luffy's eyes widened.
It was his navigator, smiling in a way that was obviously forced.
Immediately, Nami's eyes fell onto the red-haired woman and gave her a not so subtle glare.
Luffy on the other hand just smiled. "Oh Nami! What's up?"
Sal smiled knowingly at the female who was openly glaring at the woman mere inches from Luffy's face.
"You were taking a long time, so I came to see why." Nami eyed the female up and down with distaste. "I guess you were busy conversing with…who are you?" Nami asked, seeming unimpressed.
The redhead smirked, understanding the glint in Nami's eyes. Jealousy was a funny thing indeed.
"I'm Liya, the chef. You are?"
Humming, Nami smiled stiffly. "I'm Nami." She placed a hand on her captain's shoulder and stood closer to him. "I'm his navigator."
Luffy's attention switched between both females. He was also keenly aware of her hand subtly rubbing his shoulder. It made him slightly tense as she slowly massaged him.
Sal placed a hand on the object of Nami's furry, Liya, and smiled at the orange-haired woman.
"Um, she isn't just the chef, she's also…my wife."
At that Nami froze and gripped Luffy's shoulder.
"W-wife?" She stuttered, slightly embarrassed.
They both nodded.
Any normal person would feel shy about getting jealous over a married woman, but Nami? No. In fact, wasn't that kind of rude of Liya? Getting so close to another man when her husband was right behind her?
Nami mentally scoffed. Women these days have no decency.
"Right, well we placed an order and were just wondering how long until it's done." Her eyes trailed to the chef. "Aren't you the cook?" She said, almost like she was accusing Liya of something.
Slightly shocked with Nami's hostility, Sal chuckled awkwardly. "Yep, she was just finishing up, we'll have your food out in a few."
The owner began lightly pushing his wife in the direction of the kitchen to avoid any further conflict.
After they were gone, Nami turned her glare onto Luffy, wanting so badly to smack him over the head.
Noting her glare, Luffy's brows scrunched up.
"What?" He said defensively, knowing he didn't do anything wrong.
"You seemed pretty comfortable." She remarked.
Luffy glanced at his barstool and said, "Ehh, these chairs are kinda hard, but they're comfortable enough."
Nami felt her blood boil for a split second, but she took a deep breath to calm herself. This wasn't worth it. Why was she getting jealous? She and Luffy aren't together. Things between them were supposed to be the same as they've always been, only now they have sex. That's it . It seemed her captain noticed the angry look in her eyes but Nami didn't want to explain it to him. He could do whatever he wanted, with any female. It was his right and she had no authority to tell him otherwise.
But even so…
Nami leaned closer to his face, scrutinizing him. The man visibly tensed at first but relaxed when he realized she wasn't going to hit him.
She just had to be sure of one thing.
"Luffy…" She started, flickering her eyes back to their table to see if the crew was paying attention. They were not. So she continued. "Are you interested in Liya?"
At first, Luffy just blinked but then he did his signature smile. "Yeah! She's really interesting."
Nami felt a strange weight in her chest. Like it was crushing her.
"Not like that." She slowly spoke. "Are you interested in her body ?"
The captain's eyes widened, feeling slightly confused by that question.
"For… sex?" He asked, unsure of himself.
Surprisingly, Nami nodded, making him shift in his seat once again.
That was odd . Why would he be interested in having sex with her? They were just talking.
Nami stared at him inquisitively. It's a yes or no question. There was no reason for him to think so hard about it. Actually…Nami's not sure she wanted to hear the answer.
She saw Luffy open his mouth but she interrupted him.
"We should go back, we don't wanna keep them waiting." She turned away from him and began walking away.
Seeing her fleeting figure, Luffy stepped off his stool and caught up to her.
"Nami?" He pressed, but she simply ignored him, walking ahead to take a seat at the table.
He didn't like it. Being blatantly ignored for a reason he didn't know. What happened? Everything was fine this morning. They were acting normal. So why is she suddenly angry with him?
Luffy took a seat as well, instantly being brought into conversation with Usopp and Chopper.
Even though his other crew members kept him preoccupied, his attention would occasionally drift to his navigator, who was deep in conversation with Robin.
Even while he was having a lively conversation with one of his best friends, Luffy couldn't help but want to talk to her.
It was ten til noon and they all began heading out the bar.
Sal and his wife walked them out, waving goodbye as they walked down the road.
The straw hats were well on their way when suddenly, Liya yelled, "Luffy-kun!"
They all turned to face her, curious as to what she had to say. Nami, on the other hand, felt annoyed. Only because they were falling behind schedule though.
"Come back if you wanna talk again! I had fun!" She yelled, causing Luffy to smile and throw his arm up to wave with equal enthusiasm.
"I will! Thanks for the food!"
The husband and wife gave one more wave and then turned to walk back into their bar.
Sanji manifested by Luffy's shoulder, a little jealous of the beautiful woman Luffy was acquainted with.
"Are you tryna steal the man's wife?" Sanji asked. "What's with the 'I had fun.'"
Luffy just continued walking, smiling gently. "Nah. She was really great though. Helped me out a lot."
The crew stared at him with interest, wondering what Liya could've helped him with.
As they made their way towards the Sunny, Usopp asked the question that everyone was thinking.
"What'd she help you out with?"
Just as Luffy opened his mouth, he recalled something Liya had whispered to him on their way out.
'You seem to be the type to openly share anything and everything, but love and sex is something you share with that special person only. It's kind of like a secret until you're both ready to share it with each other. Also, before you tell her about how you feel, make sure you are positive it's love. If not, that'll cause a lot of hurt and pain.'
Luffy smiled widely. "It's a secret." He said, then sped on ahead to sling himself on the ship.
The crew just stayed behind. "Luffy has a secret?" Chopper spoke, amazed.
"And with a woman too." Brook added.
Nami just stared, face unbelievably blank. 'What does that mean?' She thought with desperate curiosity.
This whole situation was bugging her a lot more than she'd care to admit.
Robin seemed to notice the navigator's inner turmoil, because she placed a comforting hand on Nami's shoulder and leaned in to whisper, "I don't think it's anything to worry about." Then followed behind the rest of the crew to go on board.
Nami's brows furrowed in worry. Not only is she anxious about Luffy and the other woman, but also Robin's words. She seemed to know more than she was letting on.
Did she already know about Nami and Luffy's arrangement?
Why hasn't she said anything?
"Nami!" Luffy shouted from aboard the Sunny. "I thought we had to leave by noon?" He mocked.
She didn't miss the certain smugness in his tone. It sort of pissed her off. She wasn't in the mood to be made fun of right now.
After taking one step, she felt something wind around her middle.
Her heart dropped.
She looked down and saw the rubber arm of her captain wrapped around her body.
"Oh no." She muttered.
He reeled his arm in and Nami screamed. "Lufffyyyyy" until she was safely on the ship, right next to her idiotic friend.
He chuckled. "You were taking too long."
In return Nami glared at him, waiting for him to unwind his arm so she could walk away.
Noting her hostile glare, Luffy's smile fell and he released his hold on her. When Nami turned away and began distancing herself, it kind of hurt. He didn't like any of his friends avoiding him, but with Nami it was even worse.
He really wanted to talk to her.
It was nightfall, they were all gathered in the aquarium bar, chatting amongst one another when Nami entered the room, fresh out of the bath.
She felt so much better after she washed up and changed into a clean pair of clothes.
Sitting in the hot bath allowed her time to collect her thoughts. Obviously they were all about Luffy, but she just couldn't help it. They slept together yesterday and then today she was forced to watch as he got all up close and personal with the bartender's wife .
During their chat, Nami was sitting at the table with a perfect view of Liya leaning over the counter to invade Luffy's personal space. Their conversation seemed serious, considering Luffy wasn't laughing. What's worse is Nami actually saw Luffy lean into the woman as well. Once the woman started stroking his chest with her finger Nami felt like she was at her limit.
After sizing her up, Nami was more anxious. Liya was gorgeous. I mean, she was obviously in her late twenties or early thirties, but she was still beautiful. And with the way she was leaning over the counter, a perfect view of her breasts was granted to both her and Luffy. It pissed her off. It felt like she was throwing herself at her ignorant captain.
When they left, Nami asked Luffy what he thought of her and he said he was interested. I mean, obviously Luffy didn't get what she meant, but he had to have noticed the total beauty in front of him! When Nami asked if he was interested in Liya sexually, he had to think about it. That pissed her off even more.
Hence why she's been a little hostile towards him since that moment.
After thinking about the whole situation, Nami felt like she was being too harsh. Luffy technically didn't do anything wrong. It was just her pettiness that was causing unnecessary drama between them.
She has no right to be angry.
So, she decided she'll apologize when the opportunity is right. That opportunity is now.
Nami strode up to the couch, right below the fish tank, and called out to Luffy who was listening in about Franky's new project.
The captain, and some other crew members looked at her wondering what was going to happen. It wasn't a secret that Nami's been upset with him, they were just surprised she actually initiated conversation.
"Hm?" Luffy hummed. "What?"
Trying her best to remain calm, she said, "I need to talk to you," and the other members anxiously listened, wondering if they were going to fix whatever problems there were between them.
"Ok." He said, awaiting for her to continue.
"Not here." She said, turning around to give him her back, then began walking.
Luffy sat there for a minute with furrowed brows but Franky signaled for him to follow her, causing Luffy to scramble off the couch and follow behind her.
She didn't just walk out onto the deck. She continued walking until they ended up in the other portion of the ship.
She went up the stairs and Luffy eyed her back in confusion.
"Uh, Nami? Where are we going?"
No response.
They made it to the top of the stairs and he became impatient. "You've been ignoring me y'know? Why?" He asked and there was still no response. Luffy frowned.
Walking down a small hallway, they reached a door.
Nami twisted the doorknob and swung it open. She then gripped his wrist and dragged him inside. Luffy's eyes widened as she forcefully pulled him and shut the door behind her.
Once inside Nami pushed him against the door, and stared at him harshly. He was trapped in her gaze, too scared to look away.
The man couldn't help but swallow nervously.
"Nami?" He asked, confused by her actions.
The woman sighed, shutting her eyes tightly. "Sorry, I'm just a little on edge."
"About what?" He asked.
This caused her eyes to snap open. "About what?" She restated as if he should know.
Taking a step closer to him with a glare on her face, she aggressively poked him in the chest. "About you! You and you and-oh yeah, did I mention YOU!?"
Luffy raised his brows as she blew up.
He seriously has no clue what he did.
"Uh-"
She threw the same finger she assaulted his chest with, onto his lips to shut him up.
"Oh I'm not done yet!"
Luffy nodded frantically with wide eyes.
"You kept insisting on staying on that damn island when I told you it would mess up the log pose! And then you had the nerve to argue with me about it!"
Luffy blinked.
That didn't seem like something she'd usually get so worked up about.
"But-" he muffled beneath her finger.
"Tch, and then you make us go to that bar. For what? So you can flirt with the bartender's wife? Miss Liya, Who was ' very interesting' according to you. Why were you guys so close? Did you have trouble hearing her from a normal distance? Do you even realize what it looked like?" She chastised.
There was momentary silence. Luffy just stared at her with eyes wide in shock. He still didn't understand why she was mad. Nami kept mentioning Liya and how close they were, but they were only that close because their conversation was really interesting.
Realizing what she just said, Nami's mouth fell open and she blushed.
She removed her finger from his lips and took a step away from him.
"Ah-Um…That was, uh…" her voice died off.
'What did I just say?' She mentally screeched.
Her eyes were wide as she stared at the surprised look on his face.
Now more than ever she was hoping he misunderstood her or simply didn't understand at all. Nami didn't want him knowing she was jealous. That'd mean she only wanted him for herself. Which she does, but he doesn't have to know that.
"Luffy…sorry. I didn't mean to say that." The blush on her face never faded.
Luffy on the other hand was immensely confused, but he understood her statement. He was only confused as to why she felt that way.
"Sooo." He slowly started. "You didn't like me talking to her?" He asked, with hesitance, unsure of his interpretation.
He saw her flinch and blush harder.
She could lie. She could say she didn't care, but that would contradict everything she just said.
Pushing her ego aside, she was able to tell him the truth.
"I…I didn't like it."
Nodding slowly, the captain's eyes flickered to the side in major confusion.
"Why?" He asked, hoping he'd explain it in a way that he understood.
'Because I don't want another woman to see you the way I have.' She definitely couldn't say that. So she stayed silent.
His eyes landed on her once more, trying desperately to understand what was happening. What he did understand was that he felt weird. Ever since she called out to him in the resting area, Luffy's chest felt strange. He used to think it was a sickness, but after his conversation with Sal and Liya, he came to the shocking realization that it may be something entirely different.
With her eyes cast to the ground, she mumbled, "What's the secret?" Throwing him off guard.
His face twisted. "Secret? What secret?"
Nami began looking around the room, extremely embarrassed about her desperate need to know about his conversation with Liya.
"The secret between you and Liya." She replied, trying to appear nonchalant about it, when in reality she looked extremely nervous.
At first, he didn't know what she was talking about, but then recalled the interaction he had with the crew after Liya and Sal waved them goodbye. The secret about-
"Ohh that." He said, a little reluctant to tell her. "Well it's kinda…"
With worried eyes, she studied his reaction and noticed how awkward he seemed.
Nami froze. He really didn't want to tell her.
A crushing weight caused her heart to drop to her stomach.
What could be so private that he couldn't even tell her.
Nami swallowed thickly.
"W-what is it?" She asked again.
Luffy started shifting where he stood, obviously not knowing what to say. In reaction, Nami frowned.
"Do you not want to tell me?" She asked, quite hardly,
Luffy's eyes widened a bit. "No, I'm supposed to tell you! I just have to be sure first." He said, only furthering her puzzlement.
'What does that mean?'
Her brows furrowed and she took a small step towards him. "Why can't you tell me now?" She pressed, watching as his adams apple bobbed nervously.
"She told me not to tell you yet so-"
" What?" Nami spat, scrutinizing him with lowered lids. Why was 'she' telling Luffy what he can or can't tell Nami?
Luffy swallowed thickly once more.
Her random changes in personality were confusing. How can she go from nervous to angry within a matter of seconds? I mean, she's always been pretty hotheaded, but this…the Nami right now seemed different somehow. Usually she announces to the world about why she's angry…but this time, he didn't know why she was mad and it didn't feel right.
"She told me to wait until I was sure." He said once more.
"Sure of what? " She nagged, not happy.
Rather than trying to calm her down, Luffy started getting angry himself. He told her repeatedly he can't tell her, yet she continued pressing his buttons. How is it fair that she can be mad at him when she's the one who's been ignoring him. When she's not explaining her reason for being mad. How is it fair that he's expected to answer all of her questions when she hasn't answered any of his.
"I already said, I can't tell you." he retaliated, furrowing his brows fiercely.
"Why!?" She yelled, getting in his face. "Because that woman told you not to? Why do you care about what she says? I'm your friend! You've known me longer, so why can't you tell me?!"
The captain frowned deeply, also getting in her face. "I have my reasons! I don't have to tell you everything! Plus I already said I'd tell you when I was sure, so I don't get why you're so mad!?" He yelled back.
They were shooting daggers, both not willing to stand down.
Nami huffed. "I'm mad because-"
Luffy shook his head quickly "Well?" He pressed.
Both of their chests were heaving.
Nami clenched her fists. He was really pissing her off. "Because-"
She really didn't have an answer. Not one she wanted him to hear.
So Nami glanced at his lips that were pulled into a frown.
With her blood pumping through her veins at an abnormal rate, she threw herself at him, aggressively pressing her lips against his own and looping her arms around his neck to pour all of her pent up anger into her lips.
Luffy didn't even question it, with furrowed brows, he sloppily kissed her back, wrapping his arms around her torso to pull her closer.
Their openmouthed kiss suddenly intensified. Their tongues pressed roughly against one another, desperately invading the other's depths. Nami whined in the abyss of his mouth. He felt his body tremble in response.
It was unclear how two people who were fuming at each other a second ago, were now engaged in a heated kiss. But they didn't seem to care.
He felt like he lost his mind every time she pulled on his neck and whined against his lips. The way her soft breasts pressed into his chest and rubbed against his skin, made his body heat up.
His fingers felt tingly and his head felt woozy.
'She smells so good.'
Nami was in the same boat.
His touch felt intoxicating. As he aggressively gripped her to him and rubbed his hard chest against her breasts, she would release soft cries.
Her nails scraped the base of his scalp, right on his hairline. He groaned, pulling himself away from her to take in her expression.
Her eyes were cracked open, staring at him with an intensity that made him shiver.
With a heaving chest, he whispered, "What were we talking about?"
Nami gently ran her fingers through his hair, eying his lips with desperation. "Who cares." She replied, then pulled him down to invade his mouth once more.
On her belly, she could already feel his hard length pressing into her. It made her breath hitch and her underwear dampen. Yes she was wearing underwear, considering she had a mini skirt on.
When his rough hand slid under her tank top and started stroking her lower back, Nami moaned desperately, pulling away from his impatient lips.
Luffy wasn't at all ready to stop. He started kissing the soft skin of her neck causing the girl's eyes to shut tightly.
When he added his tongue to the mix and began sucking, she felt her core throb.
"L-luffy." She whined. "Pick me up." She whispered into his ear, raising her thigh to his side in encouragement.
Without ending his ministrations on her neck, the man gripped her thighs and pulled her up with ease. Nami responded by wrapping both of her legs around him and grounding against his erection.
She could feel his moan vibrate her neck, causing her to tremble.
Nami's head was thrown back.
She would never grow tired of the way his hands tightly gripped her legs, or the way his mouth worked against her skin, and the way his hard length pressed into her core.
Realizing she was already ready for him, Nami became impatient.
Trying her hardest to pull herself together, Nami called out to him.
"Lu-ffy ." She panted, still grounding into his piece. "P-put it in already." She demanded, breathless.
He removed himself from her neck to stare at her. His hooded eyes and swollen lips made her bite her lip.
"Right here? Standing up?" He asked, breathless.
Nami nodded, moving herself to whisper in his ear. "Just don't drop me."
She could feel him shudder and it stirred her pride. Only Nami could make him react like that. Not some random woman who doesn't even know his body. Only she could incite these reactions out of him. No other woman has had the opportunity, and they probably never will.
She could feel Luffy's hand fumbling with his shorts until he pulled himself out of the constricting material.
Nami instantly lowered herself onto his piece, sliding her dampened underwear against his naked shaft.
Luffy trembled, holding her up as she grinded against him.
Nami's body was heating up. The delicious friction was mind shattering for the both of them.
"Mnn." She hummed.
Luffy's head was thrown back against the door as he moved his hips back and forth between the lips of her center.
They were both trembling. As good as it felt, it wasn't what they truly wanted.
"Ahhh'' she gave a hushed moan, "P-put it- mmm." her head fell onto his shoulder, feeling light headed.
The constant assault on her clit was driving her mad.
As Luffy's breathing continued to intensify, his hand lowered to her skirt, wanting it and her underwear gone. Though, it'd be kind of hard with her legs wrapped around his waist. So instead, his fingers moved directly under her skirt and he nearly groaned at the heat radiating off her center.
Now feeling more desperate than ever, he quickly pulled her undergarments aside and wasted no time thrusting himself into her.
They both trembled. His shaft drilled into her harshly. He then dragged himself out, groaning loudly at the feeling of his rod being massaged by her warm flesh. The dampness of her walls made his grip on her tighten, pulling her even harder against him.
Nami was a wreck. He repeatedly invaded her body as he held her tightly, stroking her in the most pleasurable way possible.
"Ghh- Nami." He grit, voicing his approval right next to her ear.
He found that it was a lot of work when she was just being held by him, so he quickly flipped them around, slamming her against the door with more force then he meant to, and resumed his thrusts.
Nami moaned louder in this position, now feeling trapped between him and the door. He seemed to have more control this way, which allowed him to dive into her with more skill.
Moaning loudly, Nami pressed her head into the wood of the door and tugged on his black hair.
"Ahhh-Luf- fy! "
Every time he entered her, they would slam against the structure behind them, creating thuds that echoed throughout the room.
The man rested his chin on her shoulder as he worked himself into her again and again.
The pleasure felt electrifying. Her mind was muddled, not being able to think clearly. The only thing she could think of was ways she could feel him better. Her body arched off the door, but his weight was holding her there, not allowing her much room to move.
When he started jerking upwards, her body rose with each thrust.
"AHH! Damnit Luffy! Mmhhh!" She squealed, feeling him penetrate her with more force, hitting that spot that she was exploring last night.
"Gh. I'm sorry!" He groaned through constricted breathing. "I- ahhhh- can't control it!"
Nami's head twisted and turned, gripping his hair like a lifeline.
"N-no! Keep! Going!" She moaned desperately, nearing completion.
Their eyes were shut tightly, as he went harder.
Tears slid down the sides of her face. Nami's mouth hung open but she threw a hand over her lips to muffle the scream that escaped her lips.
" Shit. Nammi! " he groaned, and at the sound of his erotic cries, Nami felt her legs begin to shake in his hold.
She was slowly losing the strength to hold herself up, so she allowed him to hold her as his movements lost rhythm,
Nami's entire body shook. She continued holding her hand tightly against her mouth as she screamed.
That spot he was hitting was definitely the right one.
All at once, it became too overwhelming. With one more thrust she pressed herself as hard as could, in hopes of him reaching as deep as possible. Her body shuddered once more. She gripped his hair with one hand and used the other to mask her loud voice as she came.
As Luffy rammed into her, he felt himself come out drenched, just like last time.
He slowed down a little but couldn't stop. Not when he was so close. "Y-you ok? " He asked through gritted teeth.
Nami couldn't answer him. Her head was arched to the ceiling as she continued feeling him hit that same spot.
Her legs kept shaking and he wasn't sure why. She wasn't answering him either. He pulled himself off her shoulder to read her reaction. Seeing her hand over her mouth and tears in her eyes, that was enough to make him stop.
His chest was heaving, he wanted to keep going but- "Why're you crying?" He whispered, releasing his hold on one of her legs to remove her hand from her mouth.
Once her mouth was free from the confines of her palm, she breathed heavily, staring him deeply in the eyes.
Luffy looked very concerned, scared even.
With fear in his eyes he asked a question he never once thought would be directed at Nami. "Did I hurt you?"
Breathing heavily, Nami placed a gentle palm on his cheek and smiled. "No." She whispered, relieving his worries. The fact that she was still trembling under his hold made him a little panicky as well.
"Then what's wrong?"
Nami chuckled to herself, blushing madly as the sequence of events caught up with her.
"It felt really good. So good that you made me lose control of my body." She said, referring to the shaking.
Luffy's eyes widened at her words.
For some reason, it stirred something within him and he suddenly felt proud of himself?
With droopy eyes, Nami bumped noses with him, letting him know she was going in for a kiss.
Their lips gently connected, causing his fast heartbeat to quicken.
'Weird.' He thought.
Unlike last time, this kiss wasn't sloppy. It was slow and tender.
Subconsciously, his hips started moving, reminding them both that he was still seethed deep inside of her.
The girl's breath hitched, pulling away from his lips.
"S-sorry." He whispered. "I haven't-um-want me to stop?" He asked seriously, mirroring her passionate gaze.
When she shook her head, 'no,' Luffy smiled, glad he'd be able to find release.
He was still slowly grinding into her, which allowed Nami time to ask him something.
"Can we move to the couch?" She toyed with his hair. "My back kind of hurts."
Luffy was quick to nod. He grabbed both of her legs with impressive strength, then turned to take in the room. Only then did he realize where they were. It was the room with all sorts of books and the place where Nami draws her maps. The library. A place he never enters.
Luffy searched the room for the couch she was talking about and found a decent sized one in the corner.
With delicacy, he laid her on the cushions and felt his heart swell. She's so much smaller than him. It was kind of scary actually. Just as he bruised her before, he could easily hurt her.
He openly stared at her face, seeming surprisingly calm. Nami let out a breath of laughter and raised her eyebrows.
'He's so weird.' She thought.
When his head lowered to hers, the humor slowly left her face.
'Why is he looking at me like that?' She thought, feeling her heart pound in response to his gaze. It made her stop breathing, feeling slightly confused. Every time her heart pounded around Luffy it was because she desired him. Not because she-
"Nami…" He mumbled. "My chest feels weird again." He said, reminding her of last night when he said the same exact thing.
Her brows furrowed slightly, desperate for him to explain. "What does that mean ?" She whispered, hoping he had an answer for her.
Instead, he closed the distance between them, effectively dragging her into another kiss. His tongue lightly brushed against her lips, consequently, she parted them to meet him halfway. Slow and steady.
Her hands trailed along his upper arm to grip his biceps and pull him closer.
She could feel his hand brushing past her waist to lightly tug at the hem of her skirt and underwear. As he began sliding it down, she used all her strength to raise her hips, allowing him to slide them off all the way and drop them on the floor. He broke away from her lips to gaze in her eyes. This caused Nami to wince.
He's been looking at her strangely and she doesn't know why. There was a certain intensity to it that made her heart swell. It gave her comfort and fear. Not knowing what went on in his head has never terrified her so much. Until now.
Luffy started kissing her neck, all the way to her collarbones.
'Don't look at me like that.' She thought, still confused about everything.
He sensually started rubbing her thighs, occasionally brushing past the bruises he created the night before.
'If you look at me that way, I'll misunderstand.'
Her eyes shut, arching her head backwards as his tip brushed against her soaking folds.
'If I misunderstand, It'll only hurt more when this all comes to an end. So while I still have you…'
He slowly started inserting himself, both were trying their hardest not to make too much noise.
Wanting to feel his weight, Nami placed a hand on the back of his neck and pulled him down, flat on top of her.
Luffy inserted himself all the way, then pulled out, only to push in once more.
She could feel his short breaths against her ear, dampening the area, and it elated her knowing she was the reason for those sounds escaping his lips.
Nami hummed as he dove in with more delicacy than before, seemingly stretching out their time together.
His hand rested at her hip, using it as a handle as he rolled his hips against hers.
" N-Nami-gh." He moaned in a subdued tone, whiny and desperate.
The way he voiced his arousal in such an airy voice made her tremble.
He too was trembling. With every push, he felt like he would burst. The feel of her snug flesh fitting around his length, would forever be one of his favorite things.
As he pushed in again, he tried reaching as deep as possible, finding it amazing how deep he could go.
He gasped, trying to control himself.
Nami's head dug into the cushion of the couch and her thighs spread further for him. It was amazing how responsive her body was in situations like these.
Feeling her body open up for him caused Luffy's hips to stutter and ground slightly quicker into her core.
"Mmm-I'm about to- ghhh." His body pressed into hers deeply, pausing to release his seed within her once more.
At the feeling of his fluid filling her up, Nami's mouth hung open in a silent moan.
As Luffy ground his hips into her a few more times, both their eyes cracked open to stare at one another.
The fragile state of their minds left both of them feeling things they never have before. Or rather, the feelings they were already experiencing poured out and were finally exposed to the other person.
As they gazed at each other, she could feel the erratic pumping of their hearts joining together due to their chests being pressed so tightly against one another.
Suddenly feeling overwhelmed by the emotions in the air, Luffy's brows furrowed slightly.
Nami swallowed thickly, wanting so desperately to kiss him.
"Can you kiss me?" She whispered.
Without hesitation. He pressed his lips against hers.
Again, her chest contracted and that's when it struck her.
…
'Am I crazy…or is this…'
As their mouths molded together, everything else disappeared. Nothing else existed, as they were only focused on one another, completely lost in the warmth spreading through their bodies.
'I've gotta be insane.' She thought.
'There's no wa y...'
'I can't be falling in love with him…'
'Right?'
