Sorry for the late update! Working in retail has ruined the holidays for me lol. But I did it and I know I left people hanging and there probably grumpy at me for taking so dang long. I was so excited with the reviews I got they made my day. Every time I get a new fav or review I get giddy in side *giggle* anyway I hope you like the next chapter I'm kind of nerves let me know how you like it :-D oh btw I don't own One Piece… though I wished I did (especially Sanji)

Chapter 6

"Ok" I said voice covered in hurt and disbelief. I looked down to avoid Aces eyes.

"You don't understand" he said taking a step towards me. "There are reasons I could never think of you that way, its inappropriate" Ace said putting his hands on either side of my head on the tree I was leaning on. I swallowed again but not from hurt this time but from something totally different. My heart started to pound. "Do you know what I'm trying to say" Ace whispered while lowing his head until his face was an inch away from mine.

"Ah" was my bright response, my head started to scream that this was wrong. But my heart was screaming something different and lets not talk about my libido.

"I'm trying to figure out if your heart racing is for being excited or scared shitless. I can't read those beautiful eyes of yours" Ace said. I still didn't think I could respond so I reached up and grabbed a hand full of his thick black hair and I licked my lips his eyes followed my movements. Its strange how strong libido and need and overrule other parts of a body.

"I think it's both" I said I tug on his hair lightly and he moved his lips closer. I could feel his breath brush over my lips. My stomach flip flopped, Sweat dripped down my back. All I wanted right now was for Ace to kiss me to lay me down on the grown and do what he pleased with me. my libido was kicking my heart which was saying this is good you want him but take your time. And my brain which was saying this was a very bad idea. I pushed out my hips and pressed in to his. I felt him hard on my stomach. My breath came quicker. I pulled his head down to mine his lips brushed mine then he lost controlled he thrust his tongue in my mouth I moaned with his taste the feeling of him close. It got fierce fast my hands were running over his bear smooth chest and back and I was thankful he never wore his shirt. This skin was much hotter the normal. Ace pressed his body on to me pushing me in to the tree. I lifted my legs and wrapped them around his waist. He trailed his lips down my face to my neck his hand moved up my shirt leaving a trail of heat from his hand. The feel of it just added to the pleasure. I wanted to touch all of him kiss him hold him the need for Ace was beyond anything I have ever felt before.

"I need you Ace" I said breathless my brain and heart nowhere to be found, they didn't have a chance with him touching me and kissing me like this. He pulled his face from my neck and looked at me. We were both breathing hard I was sweating both from the excitement and the heat Ace was throwing off. I watched him swallow

"Really? You want this from me?" My eyes furrowed, why would he say that? was he having the same internal fight I was? if so maybe his brain was winning out. Or was it because he was a Whitebeard and I would hopefully be part of Luffy's crew soon? Once it thought about it and he wasn't driving my libido nuts with his lips my brain was making its appearance again. Then I thought more on it and it clicked he thought he wasn't deserving of any of this because of his father.

"Ace you're not the son of the devil; he was not some evil man just because he was the pirate king. People where just scared of his title. But above all else you make what you are not who you're born from. And baby you're An amazing man or I would not be here craving everything you are and can give me" He moved so fast I didn't think it was possible, one second I felt the tree against my back the next instant I was laying on the ground with Ace above my kissing me like I have never been kissed before, all doubts I was thinking flew from my head when my libido kicked my brain out of the way. I ran my fingers through his thick hair enjoying the feel of him. He broke from my lips to pull my shirt over my head. The contrast from the cold ground and the warmth of Ace gave me the chills.

"You ok?" Ace grumbled voice ruff. I answered my pulling his lips back to mine. Kissing him I reached between us to undo his pants. I whimpered when he pulled away again and watched as he pulled my pants down. I laid there unmoving letting him take in my now nude body. It was exciting letting someone as powerful and beautiful as Ace looking at me completely exposed willing to give everything to him. "You're beautiful" he said. Couldn't help my grin when he reached for his pants he smiled down at me he started to lean down to kiss me again

"Oh no you too" I said pointing to his paints. He smiled.

"Demanding I like that" he said reaching for his paints again. I watched as he pulled he's paints off. The sight I took in was beautiful tingles filled my stomach and pooled down. I reached up and pulled him down to me I wanted him and I wanted him now.

"Now Ace please" he looked me in the eyes

"are you sure?" Oh god yes I said pushing my hips up. That's all the convincing he needed he pushed inside of me all the way to the hilt. I sucked in a breath from the pain I was received, I knew it was going to hurt the first time but shit, I knew we should have taken it slower but that's not what we wanted and I could handle pain just fine especially knowing it wasn't going to last long. I dig my nails in to his back. "You ok?" He asked in my ear he was shaking with need and so was I.

"Yes" I said as he moves out then in again. My body trembled with the movement I wrapped my legs around him the pain was replaced by something much more enjoyable. He keep up with the steady pace Little piece if Aces memories trickled in my head things he keep deep down. I ignored them just wanting the feeling of Ace moving inside of me. We were panting and sweating and everything about Ace became addicting. The feel of him, the smell, the taste, the heat he throwing off everything. I pulled his lips to mine and kissed him with all that I felt from him. I trust my hips up to meet stride. Nothing felt as good as Ace did right now we were breathing hard I never sweated this much before but I didn't care. Ace keep moving inside of me and it didn't take long before a pressure started to build. Orgasm slammed in to me making me arc my back and yell Aces name. Ace soon followed his body trembled and he held on to me like he would lose me if he let go. After he was done he rolled on to his back taking me with him. He laid me on his chest and kept his arms around me. With me ear presses against his hot chest I could hear his heart pounding away. I felt the light tug of my hair as Ace played with it. We were both breathing hard still my head moved up and down on his chest.

"I hope I didn't hurt you" Ace whispered his voice gravely.

"That...was amazing" I said kissing his chest. After my heart settled and my breath became normal I sat up and looked down at Ace still beautifully naked. He was snoring softly and I rolled my eyes and smiled. I leaned over him and ran my fingers over his freckles he was a beautiful man, I didn't know why I didn't realize my feelings for him sooner when I looked at him I always got the flutters in my stomach couldn't wait to see him when he was away from me. Now I look at him peaceful and beautiful my heart aches and I know I'm falling for him hard, I mean how could you not. But the doubt that I was thinking before started to trickle in after my libido settled. Was this one big mistake?

"Ace" I said placing a kiss on his lips he grunted and tried to roll over. I shook him and called his name again. He smiled and looked up at me "we have to get the water and get back before they send a search party and I don't want the guys seeing us like this."

"Your right I don't want them seeing you like this, it's mine" he said smiling and I couldn't help but to return it I like the sound of being his. I stood and dressed quickly and I noticed I was sore and bleeding a little. I tried to hide it from Ace I didn't want him to worry. Ace was already gathering water seeing he only wore pants and a hat all the time so I went to help him.

We made it back to the ship weighed down by water and both smiling like we just found treasure. I tried to tame it down so the guys wouldn't figure out what happened but I couldn't help when I looked at Ace I would smile all cheesy again. Either they didn't notice or played it off because no one said anything. After we all settled on the ship again we shoved off to for the next adventure.

That night when I was in my bed looking at the ceiling thinking about what Ace told me earlier. He found out that Luffy was well on the way making a crew, that he named his crew the Strawhat pirates. I smiled a big toothy grin because I knew he named it after that strawhat Shanks gave him when he was young. He treasured that hat and I understood why. He looked up to Shanks as everyone should with him being an emperor, I know I did. There was a soft knock on my door. I whispered come in and Ace stepped through and smiled at me. I lifted my blanket and it didn't take long for him to strip and crawl in with me. He wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled in to him and his heat. I was about to drift off when he spoke.

"What are we doing?" he whispered and I shook my head, I knew he was having the same doubts I was, the brain was the boss now the my libido was relaxing with a cigarette. He was a Whitebeard pirate when I find Luffy I will be a Strawhat pirate. We will become supposed enemies and I know for sure they wouldn't come after Luffy just because, but if they got to One Piece when we do we would have to fight for it, I knew Ace wanted One Piece for Pops but what ace didn't know is Pops wanted for Ace. I found that out when I touched Whitebeard. First of all I would never lift a finger to hurt Ace and I don't think I can hurt the crew either…except maybe Teach he freaked me out, I said and snuggled closer to Ace.

"I would never be able to fight you" he said kissing my face. "Stay" he whispered kissing me.

"I can't" he nodded he knew why "you come with me." I said I knew the answer but I needed to ask anyway he kissed me on the lips and whispered

"I can't leave pops" I know, he looked down in to my eyes his dark brown eyes sad

"So what do we do?" I look up at him I didn't know maybe we should stop this now one time fling less feeling involved then I'll be gone and won't have to worry about it happening again. I took a breath and sat up trying to move away from his touch hard to think with his hands on me

"We stop this now" I said not looking at him I didn't want to see his eyes. Didn't matter I felt what he was feeling through my empathy oh it clenched my heart but even without my empathy I would have heard how he was feeling through how he spoke

"What?" He said one word but it was filled with so much emotion sad heart ripping sadness he stood up from the bed and pulled on his pants.

"Before it gets worse and feelings get to involved let's just stop this" it became quiet and still I had no choice but the look up to see if he was still there he was looking at me with a mix of emotion anger, shock, confusion, but sadness was the worse one he looked at me with sad brown eyes that made my heart clench i looked away quickly

"Is it that easy for you? Just to brush your hands from this and be done with it? Like nothing happened today like it meant nothing?" No! fuck no this was the hardest thing close to when I got separated from Luffy I took a breath and tried to be calm but my voice betrayed me and it shook when I whispered

"Yes" his eyes widened and he shook his head

"Well it's not for me, the thought of not being with you hurts I never felt this before the feel of holding you it's...it's like I'm happy and complete I love you, fuck... and I thought you loved me...don't you love me." He asked I looked up in to his sad but hopeful eyes YES I shouted in my head don't leave me ever I screamed but only inside but what I said I hoped it would protect both his and my future feelings stop now before it got worse. I know if I told him yes there will be no going back that and I couldn't risk it we are going to be enemies going for something big like one piece in grand line the one of the most dangerous places what would happen if I died and left him here. And what would Luffy think about this, I know he's not the brightest but I know he could be insightful when you least expect it. What if he thought this was wrong. So I swallowed and took my breath and said in a straight steady voice

"No I don't love you" I keep looking in his eyes which was awful just as bad as what I was feeling with my empathy deep sadness and they become distant and lost they darted away from mine my heart was tight and my stomach hurt I knew some of it was from him but most was from me. I fought to hold back tears and I hoped he would leave so I can cry my eyes out.

"Ok, ah..." he shook his head turned and walked out slamming my door so hard it made the cabin shake and me to jump. Once he was out I threw my face in my pillow and screamed and cried until I was out of tears and my throat was sore.
