WARNING! LEMON AHEAD!
READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Chapter 26
-We must hurry to the Marineford at once! – Shanks punched his captain's desk, waking Alexis up from her deep slumber.
Blinking her eyes in confusion, trying to adapt to the room's light she spotted the figure of her beloved captain, that was now wearing his pants, and of Benn Beckman. She covered her body in the bed sheet and walked up to her captain, brushing his hair tenderly.
-What's happening? – Alexis questioned, her gray gaze jumping from Shanks to Benn.
-Ace was caught by the marines and he is to be executed as soon as possible. – Benn informed making Alexis tense up.
-Do you know anything about Luffy's current location? – Alexis quickly asked, even though she was fully aware of the future events.
-We have no clue. Why do you ask? – Shanks' gaze turned to face her worried orbs.
-It's Ace that got caught. Luffy's brother. Judging from his personality he is bound to be there to try to save him.
-Forgot about that… - Shanks spoke, pressing his temples with her index and pointer finger as Alexis rubbed her hand over his back.
-Where are the maps here? – She asked and Benn quickly rushed to one of the desk's drawers, to remove a large map with the various islands they had passed by so far. – Where are we located at the moment?
-Right here. – Benn pointed at a space that indicated a location on the sea before sliding across the map a rather long distance towards the location of the Marineford. – This is where we need to go.
-Currents that take us there.
-These three currents take us there. – He pointed to three dark lines one north to their location and the other two south of their location.
-Are there any difference between them or are they the same?
-The northern one is the quickest one but the hardest to get. – Shanks informed and pointed at the first current south of their location. – This would be the best to take towards the Marineford.
-How long to reach the current and Marineford?
-His execution is to be due in two days' time. – Benn answered quickly, his gaze turning to Alexis gray gaze. – Even if we take the northern current we won't make it in time to stop it.
-Luffy will probably delay it. – Shanks informed, remembering Luffy's temper and attitude.
-That is for sure but for how long? – Alexis questioned. One thing that One Piece somewhat lacked was the notion of time during the battles. They seemed to last forever but it just built up the tension which entertained her a lot but now it was different. She wished she had track of time in this world because she definitely didn't want Ace to die.
-We'll just have to trust Luffy to delay it as far as he can. – Shanks spoke monotonously, his gaze falling down on the map once again. – Ace must not die.
-I agree. – Benn spoke before looking up at the couple.
-We'll take the closest southern current straight away. – Shanks ordered. Benn bowed down and exited the room, closing the door behind him. The red haired captain took in a deep breath before turning to Alexis and brushing a lock of her hair away from her face. – Sorry for waking you up.
-It's alright. – She smiled kindly before placing a tender kiss on his lips. Shanks' hand slid down her back, caressing the feminine curve of her side before taking a deep breath. – You're worried aren't you?
-Of course. He's Luffy's brother. – He closed his eyes trying to calm his uneasy spirit. Alexis caressed his cheek softly with her thumb earning a smile from her captain.
-Want to get something to eat Shanks? – She asked, opening the sheet that was hugging her figure and pulled Shanks into a hug, covering half of his body with the sheet.
-No. – He held her close to his chest, feeling her chest pressed against his belly. – I want to stay here with you and hold you close.
-Someone's cheesy today. – She chuckled lightly, snuggling her head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
-It's good to be cheesy from time to time. – He smiled tenderly and led her to the large bed. He made her sit down on the edge of the bed before heading to his desk. – Close your eyes. – He said as he rummaged through the drawer, pulling out a small necklace. Alexis obeyed to her captains words and felt him get on the bed behind her. She felt something cold make contact with the skin around her neck. – You can open your eyes.
Looking down she saw a silver necklace that had a small pendant. It was The Red Hair Pirates' Jolly Roger! Her face lit up in pure happiness and she quickly pulled Shanks into a tight hug.
-Thank you so much Shanks! – She nearly squealed.
-I assume you like it. – He chuckled as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
-I love it. – Her voice shook a bit, tears swelling up in her eyes from pure happiness. – Thanks you so much Shanks. – He could only smile kindly, caressing her cheek as a tear escaped her eyes. She smiled at him kindly before he planted a kiss on her lips, warming her body. He pulled her close to him, making her head rest on his muscled legs before kissing her once again. His hand crawled from her neck, down to her chest, gently caressing her naked breasts earning a moan from the woman beneath him.
-Shanks… - She mumbled against his lips but he just placed his index finger on her lips.
-Let me have you… - He whispered before getting up, countering the bed in order to get in front of her. He hugged her waist tenderly, pulling her towards the bed frame. Swiftly he pinned her hands above her head receiving a chuckle from her. He kissed her neck, tasting her tender and sweet skin. Her scent was intoxicating to him and, as a response to this, he let out a low growl before licking her skin towards her perfect pale breasts. He twirled his tongue around the hardened nipple before closing her mouth over it, sucking and nibbling lightly. He let go of her wrists and trailed it down towards her now wet core, letting his index finger slip inside. She arched her back, trying to press her body against his hand, getting as much pleasure as she could. Shanks, with his body weight, pulled her hips down in order to keep in slow and tortuous pace.
-Shanks please… - She mumbled but to no use. He only smirked against her skin, keeping his slow pace, pleasing her until she reached her limit.
Feeling her walls tighten around his finger, he came to a stop making the woman under him to whimper in discontentment and need. She growled and pulled him towards her, slamming their lips together in a teeth crashing kiss. She gathered her strength and pulled herself off the bed, bringing him along with her. He could only chuckle at her impatience as she pulled him towards the desk.
-You know what happened last time, right? – He managed to say between the intense, passionate kisses. She made him sit on the desk and began to undo his pants.
-I know it well. – She mumbled before heading to the door, locking in close. – Done.
She turned herself towards her captain, a lustful look on her eyes as she took in every detail of his perfectly sculpted body. He was smirking deviously at her predatory walk towards him. She licked her lips before taking hold of the edge of his boxers and, releasing her power, she transformed her fingers into blades, cutting the fabric in a quick motion, letting his erection pop out of its prison. As she restrained her power, Shanks took the opportunity to take hold of her hips, pulling her to his lap and thrusting into her in one single thrust. She let out a shout of please as she felt him move inside her slowly.
He bit her neck, feeling the salty taste of her sweat mixed with a light taste of strawberries. He hugged her waist and rolled her over, making her lay down on the wooden desk before thrusting into her quicker. She gasped in pleasure, wrapping her arms around his neck, letting out suffocated moans. He bit down on the skin over her collarbone as his limit approached and, once he felt Alexis give one last shout with her arriving orgasm, Shanks took one last hard thrust, releasing himself into her with a low growl. With little strength he had left, the red haired pirate took hold of Alexis' tired body and carried her to bed. The couple laid next to each other in a warm embrace as they regulated their breathing.
-Alexis…
-Yes Shanks…?
-When the time comes… - He mumbled in a sad tone. – And you'll have to return to your world… Where can I search for you?
-What…? – She raised her torso, supporting her weight on her elbow as she looked at her beloved captain.
-Where can I find you?
-At the "Skipping Fairy" but… I'm not understanding… You belong to this world.
-I belong wherever you are. – He looked at Alexis' gray gaze as he caressed her cheek with his calloused hand. – I don't care if you are not from this world. I'll do whatever it takes to always be with you. – He planted a soft kiss on her tender lips. – Even if it takes a lifetime for me to do so, I'll always find a way to be by your side. – Shanks saw Alexis' eyes beginning to water so he placed his hand on the back of her head, pulling her close and making their foreheads touch. – If you return to your world remember that I will find a way to find you so… wait for me my love.
-I will. – She answered between silent sobs as she held her captain in a tight hug. – Thank you so much Shanks.
-For what? – He chuckled, patting her back softly.
-For being so kind to me. – She let the tears fall down her cheeks, onto his shoulder. – Thank you so much.
-You're welcome my love. – He closed his eyes before he ruffled her hair, soothing her constant sobbing. – But don't cry.
-I'll try Shanks-dear. I'll try.
