Bella Noche (Beautiful Night)
Chapter V
Robin sat in her hotel room all alone. Nami had left while Robin had been showering. She was flipping through a book but was unable to concentrate on what was written. Her mind kept wandering to thoughts of Zoro. She wondered what he was doing at this moment. Probably sleeping she thought with a smile; that was always a safe guess. She considered going to Zoro's room and inviting him back here to take advantage of the empty room and Nami's absence. She got as far as closing her book and standing up before changing her mind.
Meanwhile back at Zoro's room Nami still stood in the doorway. "What do you want?" Zoro asked, afraid to hear the answer. "Why I want you" Nami replied and Zoro froze. "to leave for the night." She continued with a small laugh. That part took Zoro completely off guard, and he asked confused "leave?" Leave where? "Yeah, go sleep somewhere else; I don't care where just not here." She explained to him. "Why?" Zoro asked still not sure why he was being kicked out of his room, was she going to kick Luffy out too? "I want to be alone with Luffy" Nami said, the faintest of red spots staining her cheeks. With that it all finally clicked into place for Zoro. Luffy and Nami liked each other. Zoro stepped into the hallway with a grin about to tease her but as often she beat him to the punch. "Oh and Zoro, Robin is in room 312. Be good." She said with a smile and a wink before closing the door.
Robin was lying on the bed; she had given up on pretending to read. Her thoughts kept returning to the moments shared with Zoro earlier in the day. Like a junkie she needed more, couldn't seem to get enough of his intoxicating scent, taste, the feel of his hands on her. If she closed her eyes she could recreate it in her mind and almost feel his touch running slowly up her back leaving a trail of goose bumps. Robin was so lost in thought that she didn't hear the knock at the door the first time. The second knock was louder and it drew her out of her reverie and back to reality.
Thinking that Nami had probably forgotten keys she sprouted an arm on the door and unlocked it, not wanting to get up. "It's open" she called out. Robin glanced at the door as it opened hesitantly and was surprised when it revealed Zoro standing there awkwardly. "Mr Swordsman? Is something wrong?" she asked sitting up. "Back to Mr Swordsman eh? Well… err… could I sleep here? That is I've been kicked out of my room." He asked sheepishly. "Luffy kicked you out? Why? Is everything ok?" she asked concerned, Luffy and Zoro were very close why would he have done that?
"Woah slow down. Its okay, and no he didn't it was Nami. It seems her and Luffy have gotten well closer." Robin smiled, she was glad Nami had found someone that made her happy. Robin suddenly realized that Nami had left quite awhile ago and Luffy's room wasn't that far away. She quickly considered some options before saying teasingly "So how do you manage to get lost in a building where the rooms are in numerical order?"
She laughed at the look of shock on is face. "How did you know?" he finally asked stepping into the room and closing the door. "Miss Navigator left almost half an hour ago" she replied simply, that same teasing grin still on her face. Half an hour? Zoro hadn't realized he had been wandering that long. For some reason finding room 312 had been harder that he had imagined it to be. He had thought he had found it at one point but it had turned out to be 212 instead of 312.
"So can I stay?" he asked desperate to change the subject. "Of course" she replied sweetly. He crossed the room and placed his katana on Nami's empty bed. He briefly considered just going to sleep after all maybe that's all Robin wanted tonight. But she just looked too damn appealing on the bed with her hair slightly mussed. He sat down beside her and brushed her hair out of her face. He put his hand on the back of her neck and drew her to him. He kissed her sweetly at first, slowly exploring the contours of her inviting mouth. Soon it was fuelled by passion and desire. His hand travelled down her back and up under her shirt. Her skin was soft to his touch and he explored it lovingly.
He brought his hands up taking her shirt off in the process and soon she was ling naked on the bed as he gazed at her perfect body. He eyed her appreciatively and told her she was beautiful. "And you are wearing too many clothes" she replied with a mischievous grin. Before he knew it there were hands everywhere taking off his clothes and pulling him down to her. Zoro chuckled "you are a unique woman Robin" he bent down to kiss the base of her neck. "I'm starting to really seen the benefits of your ability." He murmured as he trailed kisses across her collarbone. Robin sighed and the talking ceased.
All she could do was feel. His hands seemed to be everywhere at once, as if he'd taken her ability. Robin returned the favour, exploring his back, running fingers followed by butterfly soft kisses down the scar on his chest. The experience had Robin soaring higher than she ever had. She was by no means a virgin, with her history it was almost impossible to be. But here with Zoro everything else simply faded away leaving only them and this moment together as one.
Afterwards Robin lay in Zoro's protective embrace and she couldn't help but feel as if she had finally found home.
Zoro woke feeling particularly sated and as the events of the past night replayed in his head a smile crossed his lips. Last night has been incredible, Robin had been amazing. There had been hands everywhere, she certainly had put her ability to good use; stroking, fondling, enticing him to the edge and back again. Robin shifted in his arms bringing him back to the present. She slept peacefully a smile on her lips. Zoro was amazed to see that in this moment she had a look of innocence to her. He once again wished that he could take away all of the bad stuff from her past, he wished she hadn't had 28 years of pain. Knowing that it was impossible he just held her closer and hoped he wouldn't cause her any in the future.
When Robin woke up Zoro was no longer in the bed. A deep wave of sadness threatened to wash over her until she heard the sound of the shower running. She relaxed once she realized he hadn't actually left. She settled back into the pillows content. They had woken up and made love a second and a third time the past night and she felt wonderfully exhausted. Thinking of the night before gave her a deliciously wonderful idea and as she smiled an almond shaped eye bloomed on the shower wall.
Zoro was oblivious to its appearance, the water was streaming down over his fit body all the way to his scarred ankles. She wondered how he had gotten them and made a mental note to ask him later. Next she grew an arm off the wall as well and tapped him on the shoulder. Zoro whirled around and spotting the hand and eye relaxed. He grinned as she waved to him. Then she pointed downwards and his jaw dropped when he noticed the other hand that had suddenly appeared on the bare flesh of his upper thigh. Robin chuckled.
