Here is the sequel to The Flame Between Us! Nanami8 wanted a sequel to her request before and I complied! Hope you like it!

"Nanami!"

Nanami turned at the sound of her name. She let out a small squeak as Ace was suddenly in front of her and giving her a kiss.

"Wha?" She said as he pulled back and smiled at her, his hand on her hip gently.

"Okay you two lovebirds!" Thatch chuckled as he started pulling ropes for the mast and sails. "How about you actually help round here and not just make out all the time?"

Nanami's face grew bright red as she dropped her jaw open and stared at Thatch in embarrassment. "We don't…!"

Ace started laughing as he kissed her cheek sweetly and ran over to help Thatch with the ropes. Nanami fumed in embarrassment as steam came out of her head, her face about to explode as she could see the other crew members holding their laughter back.

"They like to get a rise out of you." Whitebeard told her, coming out of his room.

"Why me?" Nanami pouted, crossing her arms under her chest in a huff.

"Because you're like a sister to them and you are the only girl on the ship." Whitebeard chuckled, patting her head with his large hand, making her head bounce up and down from the force.

"The nurses are girl's too!" She argued, saying it loud enough that said guys could hear.

They rolled their eyes at her, shaking their heads and making kissy faces at her. She stuck her tongue out at them, acting like a kid sure, but she didn't know how to refute what they said. It was the truth afterall; ever since her and Ace had gotten back together he finds every moment he can to kiss her. She doesn't hate it, far from it, she enjoys it too much. Every time he kisses her she feels her mind being clouded by a fog and all of her senses concentrate on him, and him alone.

Whitebeard smiled down at her, patting her head once again, causing her to stop her childish act. "But they can treat you like the nurses." He told her, "After all, you are Ace's. None of them have a death wish to try and flirt with Ace's girl."

Nanami opened her mouth, hoping some kind of argument would come out to help her, but instead she nothing came out and she was let standing there with her mouth clamped shut and face turning into a tomato once again.

"What are you talking about?" Ace laughed as he was walking over, waving his subordinates that were joining in on the kissy face rampage.

"Nothing," Nanami whispered, feeling her heart flutter with the smirk he was giving her.

"Oh?" Ace said, looking up at Whitebeard who smiled down at him, telling him that he already knew what they were talking about, which just made him smirk even more.

"How far away are we from land?" Nanami asked, taking the attention away from the conversation she had with Whitebeard.

"Marco suspects about an hour." Ace said, wrapping an arm around her waist and bringing her to his side. "This island is supposed to be like a resort."

"A resort?" Nanami shouted excitedly, sparkles in her eyes as she turned in his hold to look at him. She clasped her hands in front of her, almost begging the wind to take them there faster. "oh~ A nice hot bath, a massage, a pool, and so many fun activities to do!" She had closed her eyes trying to imagine all of what could be there, and what she may do first once they did get there.

"All the hot guys," Ace grumbled irritatedly, thinking of all the men that would be at the resort and that could be a threat to their relationship.

Nanami peeked her eye open slightly to look at him, seeing what he was doing and trying to see if she was interested in that at all. "Oh, yes!~ All the hot men that will be on that island that I could pick and choose from!" She shouted, before turning on her heel. "AS IF!" She changed her tone and smacked him in the shoulder. "Can't believe you'd think that," She pouted playfully, playing his own game against him.

He fumbled around for words as his hands waved around, as if trying to grasp the words that could be there. He groaned and put a hand to his face, deflating and crouching on the ground once he saw her smile slip through her fake pout. She smiled with a victorious giggle, before bending over and kissing his forehead gently, reassuring him of who she was with.

"That was sly of you," He groaned, propping his arms on his legs and looking at her with a smile.

"Two can play at that game," She told him, seeing his guiltiness come out while he scratched his cheek.

Nanami turned on her heel, ready to head towards the front of the ship to look for the island. Marco landed with a loud thump on the deck, dropping from the birds nest. She squealed from how close he landed to her, taking a step back and falling backwards on her heel. Her butt slammed into the deck as she looked up and glared at Marco.

"We need to get ready to dock."He told her, smiling at her victoriously. He walked past her towards Whitebeard, patting her head and ruffling up her hair.

"Be nice to your sister," Whitebeard chuckled to him.

Marco shrugged his shoulders, a smirk playing on his face. "It's too much fun to pick on her. She wasn't so jumpy before she met Ace."

"She used to kick the shit outta you," Jozu laughed, walking from the side of the ship to the front, throwing in his two cents towards the conversation.

Marco groaned, rubbing the back of his head with a sigh and a sweat drop on the top of his head. "Don't remind me. She kicked me so hard I thought she broke my brain."

"You deserved it," She said, taking the outstretched hand that Ace offered her. The crew laughed at Marco this time as they remembered all the ass kickings he got from her when he decided to play tricks on her.

It took about 30 minutes for them to reach the island and completely dock at it. Nanami jumped to the ground quickly, stretching her arms out and spinning in a circle.

"How I miss land sometimes!" She shouted, smiling up at the sky with eyes wide open.

"You're excited much?" Ace laughed, landing next to her.

She looked at him as if he had lost his mind, her arms going up and pointing towards the middle of the island that held a huge castle type hotel. "It's a resort!" She said, looking at him with hope that he understood her excitement.

"Yeah?" He asked, still not understanding why she was so excited about there being a resort for the island.

She sighed, shaking her head at his non feminine side. "I can finally get time alone away from all the guys on the ship! Not to mention their teasing!"

"You don't like the teasing?" He chuckled, knowing the answer already.

"it's not that I hate it, I just need a break every now and then from the teasing," She mumbled, scratching her cheek in embarrassment.

"And you want to get away from the guys…" He stopped as if saddened. "Even me?" He looked up at her with puppy dog eye's.

"Well, all of them but you." She said, cheeks pink as she tilted her head down, but glanced up at him sheepishly. "We never get time to just ourselves. I thought this would be a good chance…"

That seemed to be the perfect answer for him as he smiled widely at her and lifted her up, tossing her over his shoulder gently. "We're going to have fun! Enjoy yourselves!" He shouted back to the others on the ship.

They shook their heads at Ace, mumbling to him that he was ignoring his duty to help with the rest of the ship.

"Let them have fun," Whitebeard said, smiling as he watched Nanami push herself up on his back, looking at him with a blush, but began smiling and laughing soon as he said something.

"Where do you want to go first?" He asked, looking back at her in curiosity.

"The pool," She smirked at him, seeing his face turn blue at her suggestion.

"You're trying to kill me aren't you?" He sighed, his face slightly hanging.

She smiled at him in pure innocence. She slid herself from his shoulder, pushing back from his shoulder so she was sitting on his arm for leverage. Her hands were on his shoulders as she smiled at him warmly. "I'll keep you up," She kissed his nose, not feeling embarrassed since the crew wasn't around to tease them.

He smiled, kissing her lips gently before setting her down. He grabbed her hand, walking beside her towards the castle where they could get a room first and get some swimsuits. "Yes, my princess."

"Ah, a young couple!" the front desk attendant said, clapping his hands and waving them over. "Would you like a room?" He eyed them up and down, taking their relationship in. "Just one night?" He asked with a knowing smile.

"One night is fine," Ace said with a nod, giving the attendant a sly smirk back.

Nanami looked back and forth between the two, wondering what secret conversation was going on in their heads. She shrugged her shoulders, ignoring the chuckles between them. "Where can I buy a swimsuit?" She asked, looking around the entrance room.

The attendant looked up, pointing to his right towards an entrance all the way down. "Go right down there and into that room. They have a variety of swimsuits that you can try too for….whatever you're into." He smirked at Ace again, the guys having a secret conversation that she could guess what was going between them.

"Okay, you two have your loving moment there. I'm going to check out the swimsuits." She said, walking off with a wave.

It didn't seem to faze them at all as they actually started talking once she walked away. She looked around the swimsuit store with wide eyes, seeing all the swimsuits in a variety of colors, designs, and patterns. From one piece swimsuits, to tankini's, to bikini's. Rainbows, animal prints, stars, jolly rogers, and many plain colors and other designs.

"How is this a swim suit?" She asked, holding up a….swimsuit?...made of nothing but strings.

"Would you like to try that on?" the store keeper asked, walking over to her with a smile.

"Uh, no," Nanami said, setting the swimsuit down with a disgusted look. "Something more…concealing."

"How about a bikini?" She asked, showing her towards the bikini area that was filling more than hang the store. "Would you like us to bring you some? One's we think would suit you?"

One swimsuit caught Nanami's eyes as she smiled, knowing Ace would love it right away. "No thanks, I know which one I'm getting."

She reached out and grabbed it, looking over it with pleased eyes and smiling at the store keeper. The store keeper ushered her towards the dressing room, letting her lock it behind her. When she saw Ace come in and look around, the store keeper had already guessed he was with her and gave him a swimsuit that would go well with hers. He changed into it quickly, and walked out, watching in confusion as the store keeper ushered him to a chair face a changing room.

"I think I got it on pretty well. I had to tighten it a bit. That and I had to use the bigger sized top, it wasn't fitting real well." Nanami had told them, thinking she was talking to the store keeper. "Tell me what you think."

She stepped out of the changing room, tugging on the strap holding her bikini top up. She stopped, spotting Ace sitting there and not the store keeper like she thought. He looked her up and down, taking in her swimsuit. The swimsuit was a dark blue with flames covering the breast pads of the top, and a small portion along the edge of the bottom, making it look as if she were being covered in flames.

She looked equally over Ace, holding in a giggle as she notice his swim trunks that were black and lined with flames that reached up towards his upper thigh, and also along his top edging.

"Seems we have a matching pair," The store keeper said with a smile. "I'm glad this is your boyfriend and not some guy I mistook for one."

Nanami burst out laughing, holding her arms around her stomach as it began to squeeze itself from so much laughing. She looked up and opened her eyes, her laughter stopping immediately as she saw how intensely he was staring at her.

"Come here," He whispered, arching his finger towards himself.

"Oh my," The store keeper said, walking away from them for privacy.

Nanami felt as if he was a magnet pulling her in. Her legs moved her forward until she was standing in front of him. He stood up in front of her, running his hand down her arm and along her side, feeling the bare skin that was flashing him.

"Don't leave my side."He whispered to her, his breath running over her face and sending her mind into a fog. "I can't let the guys here think they have a chance at all."

"Wha?" She whispered back, confused as to what he was talking about.

"I want to wrap you up so no one but me can see you like this." He said, letting his fingers brush along her shoulder, up her neck, and across her cheek. "Promise me,"

She opened her eyes and looked at him, staring at him in surprise. His eyes were possessive; as if they wanted to manipulate her and how she looked. She nodded, feeling her mind try to fog over completely. "I promise."

He smiled at her, picking her up in his arms till she was sitting on his lower arm. "Well then, shall we go swimming?"

Ace was all but hovering around her as they splashed and played around in the pool. Nanami would keep his head above water, and made sure he kept in the places where he could stand on the bottom. The other men at the resort didn't even try to look at her, and if the matching swimsuits, and his hovering wasn't enough, his constant hugs and small kisses were enough to tell them she was his.

"It's getting dark," Nanami said, glancing at the sky that was starting to show the sun dropping down.

"No after hours swimming?" Ace smirked, picking her up so she was looking down at him.

"I need to get all this chlorine out of my hair," She laughed, ruffling his hair so he could see the flakes of chlorine fall out of it.

"Ah~" Nanami sighed, slipping into the personal hot spring after her bath. The hot spring was assigned to their room, so no one would come into the hot spring other than them.

"Can I join?" Ace asked, opening the sliding door with water dripping off his hair. He smiled and walked over, slipping into the water and coming behind her. His arms found their way around her, bringing her back against him.

"I don't know how you got this room, or what you said to that man, but I'm thankful for whatever you did." She said with a smile. She could feel all her muscle's unwinding from the day, sending her into relaxation.

Ace smirked and leaned forward, kissing her neck gently and sucking the water off of her skin. He kissed down her neck and along her shoulder, and finally down her back. He smiled as she shivered, showing him she was feeling it once again.

"Y'know, we don't get to do it very often." He said, placing his chin on her shoulder. "With all the guys trying to listen it's hard to find time." He sighed, drawing meaningless patterns across her stomach and hips, feeling her shiver more and her legs to squirm at his touch being so close to where she desperately needed it.

"Well then," She breathed, her breath coming out strained. "Let's get to it then,"

Before he could even process what she said she turned around in his hold, crashing her lips sloppily on his. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pushing them closer together. Ace grunted as she straddled his hips, letting her folds barely skim above his hardened member.

She pulled back, smirking at him with seduction in her eyes. "Revenge for teasing me," She told him, letting her folds barely brush past him again, earning another grunt.

He let out a tsk before winding his fingers in her hair as he cupped the back of her head, getting a good hold on her hair. He pulled her forward, slipping his tongue inside her mouth and running it over her tongue. She groaned in pleasure and surprise at the sudden intensity of his kiss before they even played a bit.

She gasped as his other hand came up and gripped her butt, lifting her up and against his body so she was leaning over him and her hair draped around their faces. He slipped his hand down, letting his hand cup her butt cheek and his finger to prod her opening just a bit.

She pulled from the kiss, taking in a shaky breath while her back arched in pleasure. He was right, it had been a long time since they slept together due to all the guys on the ship tormenting them about their relationship. Plus their first night together, Thatch had told her that they heard the whole thing because the walls are so thin. It made her embarrassed so she couldn't stand the thought of them hearing everything they did.

"You're already wet," He smirked, bringing her face closer to his, but not quite kissing. She was breathing heavily over his face, the kissing taking the breath out of her lungs.

"Please," She begged, her hands desperately gripping his shoulders. Her lower region was thrumming in desperation at the attention and pleasure it craved. She needed him to touch her, or put it inside her now.

"Please what?" He teased, knowing she would say it. She was too embarrassed to say those things. He was going to give it to her anyways because he was just as desperate, but he liked to see the faces she made when she wanted more; and the pleasure on her face when he gave it.

"Please fuck me." She groaned, the desperateness overcoming her embarrassment.

He stopped, sitting stock still in the hotspring as he looked up at her, seeing the desperation in her eyes; the want…for him. He groaned, his member now throbbing uncontrollably at the need to sheath it inside of her.

"Dammit," He cursed, sliding his hand back to her hip.

He slammed his lips back onto hers, savoring the vibrations of her throaty moans on his tongue as he tasted everywhere in her mouth. He thrusted up towards her at the same time his hand pushed he hip down onto him, sliding him up into her until he was completely inside of her. The tip of his member hit her womb, making her moan loudly against his kiss. The water rippled around them with every thrust he gave her, her body bouncing as their hips slammed into one another.

"Keep moving," He told her as he pulled away, letting her hip go that now would have a bruise from his tight grip.

When he let her go, she stopped moving, making her mind finally comprehend what he had told her, and the pleasure her body craved sent her thrusting up and down on top of him again. Ace put his hand on her back, leaning her backwards and holding her up barely by his hand as he leaned down and took her beautiful mound of skin into his mouth.

Her moan echoed through the hotspring this time as there was nothing to cover her mouth this time. All she could do now was angle her hips and push into him slightly; leaving him to erratically thrust into her to keep up the tempo of their sex. He nipped her breast, making them harden instantly and making another moan come out of her mouth. Her walls clamped around his member momentarily at the pleasure to her breast, making him groan in pleasure at the sudden tightness.

"Ace! I'm!" She gasped, feeling how hot her nether regions were becoming and how tight her abdomen was. "I'm going to cum," She squeaked out, putting a hand to her mouth to hide the squeak.

He glanced up at her, taking his attention from her breasts that were both hard now. He sat her back to where she was almost floating on the water, giving her the deepest possibly thrusts that made her feel like she would break if he went further.

"Ace!" She shouted in warning again.

"Me too," He grunted, trying to go faster so they can both reach their peeks together.

He left her now saliva soaked and hard breasts and kissed along her collarbone, letting a kiss mark appear on the skin from his bite.

"ACE!" She shouted, her walls clamping around him tightly, as if squeezing him to his own climax. Her head leaned back moreso, dipping her forehead into the water at the great arch she ahd.

"Nanami!" He growled, biting her collarbone again as they reached their climaxes together.

His seed poured inside of her again, the warm liquid warming her insides pleasuringly and allowing her to ride out her climax until it was done. Ace sat her back up, the water dripping from her soaked hair and down their bodies.

Ace felt his head spin at the long heat that they had endured while being in the hotspring. He looked at Nanami's face, seeing how red it was getting and realizing she was probably just as dizzy. He pulled out of her and lifted her up, bringing her towards the sliding doors and into their room.

He wrapped a towel around her gently, drying her off and wrapping her in a robe as her mind spun from the heat. He did the same to himself, smiling down at her as she opened her eyes and smiled up at him.

"Feeling better?" He asked, laying down next to her with his arm propping his head up.

She nodded to him with a smile, rolling onto her side and snuggling up to his body. He laid his arm out, letting her lay on top of it for a pillow.

"I didn't realize I was getting over heated." She said with a smile and a guilty laugh. "Too much stimulation."

Ace smirked at her, kissing her forehead tenderly. "I'd do it again though,"

She laughed, snuggling into his neck. "At least this time the guys weren't listening in on us."

"Ah," He said, making her look up at him in a 'don't tell me' look. "no, not that." He told her, sending her relief. "I just thought…" He scratched his cheek, a guilty look on his face. "That's the second time we've done it without protection."

Nanami stared at his neck for a moment in dawning before letting out a giggle and smile. She kissed his neck and made him look at her so she could peck his lips. "I wouldn't mind having a kid."
