Encounter One

Portgas D. Ace and Jewelry Bonney

She is beautiful. Stunning, really. The way she sits on the table is different, but oh so interesting with one leg slightly tucked under her other leg that is bent with the foot on the table. She holds food in her hands and eats as if there is no tomorrow. Ace didn't care. To him she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.

A green hat sits on top of her pink hair which frames her face and flows with her movements, it is mesmerising to him. The clothes she wears show off her sexy figure. The tight-fitting white top that barely covers her breasts, the brown jacket is obviously worn more for a fashion statement than for warmth for it only covers her arms and looks as if it would be impossible to close even if she is chilly. Brown stripped mini shorts left nothing to the imagination, the braces that held them up just frames her breasts making them stand out more. Leg warmers of pink with suns on them just bring his attention to how slender and long they were. Her knee-high brown boots make him imagine her in nothing, but them.

He has never seen a woman like her before, so carefree and beautiful. So, he decides to see if he could join the beauty as she eats.

Ace walks up to the woman and the men that stand around her and asks, "May I join you?"

The woman looks at him, before swallowing the food she had just taken a bite out of to reply, "Sure."

Pulling out a chair, Ace sits down just as his order arrives. He is soon stuffing the food into his mouth just as quickly as the woman is, which makes her pause and watch him for a moment, before once again swallowing her mouthful of food. She looks at Ace and asks him, "Who are you?"

Ace looks up at her before answering, after he swallows his food first, "Portgas D. Ace. And you?"

Staring at him in surprise, she answers slowly, "Jewelry Bonney."

They both nod to each other before they start demolishing their food again. Not long after Ace's arrival they are both kicked out for nearly running the restaurant out of business and offending the other customers. They both sit on the ground outside of the restaurant for a few moments before they both start laughing.

After a while Bonney looks up and realizes that her crew had disappeared on her. Looking around she tries to find them, but instead she just ends up studying the man beside her. The way his messy black hair flops underneath his orange hat with those odd blue smiley faces. The smile that never seems to leave his handsome freckled face. His muscled bare chest with the snail trail that leads into his shorts with that belt that was barely holding them up. It makes her mouth go dry.

Suddenly, Ace stretches his arms up above his head, before pushing himself to his feet. He looks down at Bonney and holds his hand out to her to help her to her feet. Bonney has just placed her hand into his when the heavens suddenly open, and buckets down on them. They both are still for a moment before Ace suddenly pulls Bonney to her feet and drags her across the street under the cover of an awning. They stand still for a moment, still holding each other's hand, shivering when the door behind them opens and a woman steps out. The woman looks at them in surprise, before she starts ushering them into the building.

The woman looks them over for a minute before speaking, "What were you two doing standing out there in the middle of a storm?"

Ace looks the woman up and down before saying with a shrug, "I, for one, did not know there would be a storm. Did you, Bonney?"

Bonney is already shaking her head in answer. She looks at the woman standing in front of them, she seems to have an all-knowing smile. Bonney asks the woman, "Why did you usher us into your home?"

The woman blinks in surprise, before stating, "This isn't my home. It's the inn that I work at. I can check you two in if you want."

The pair look at each other before shrugging and saying, "Sure."

The woman smiles brightly at them while telling them, "That will be 200 belli per night."

Ace looks at her, before shrugging again and asking, "Do you know how long that storm out there will last?"

The woman looks out the window and tilts her head to the side saying, "Two to three days."

Bonney stares at her before asking, "So which rooms are we staying in?"

The woman smiles at them and says, "You two will be staying in room 4. It has a double bed, and it happens to be our only room available."

Ace and Bonney look at each other, with their eyes wide, before they both suddenly realize that they are still holding hands. They quickly release each other's hand before stepping apart. Bonney stares at the woman in shock, "There has to be some sort of mistake. We only meet today!"

The woman gives them a small smile while handing them a key and telling them, "The room is up those stairs, second door on the left. If there is anything you need just ask."

Ace and Bonney stand still in shock and before they know it, the woman has walked away. They look at each other and then at the key before, Ace looks at her and says, "Might as well have a look."

Bonney nods once, before following the woman's directions to the room. Upon reaching the room, they look at each other once more before Ace unlocks the door and holds it open for Bonney to enter before him. They walk into the room and see that the double bed was one of the only pieces of furniture in the room aside from two bedside tables.

Bonney blushes bright red while staring at the bed, for she can't help but imagine what it would be like to share a bed with Ace. To have him caress her skin with those callused hands and those lips brushing down her body from her lips towards her–

"What do you want to do?" Ace asks, disrupting her thoughts.

She quickly glances at him and is surprised to notice the slight look of lust in his eyes as they watch her. Gulping she looks at the bed before saying, "We can't go back out into that storm to find another place to stay while we wait for the storm to pass. Plus, that bed is huge. I am sure it could at least hold four people easily, ten if they squeeze together."

Ace smiles at her before walking towards the other door and saying over his shoulder, "I will shower first then."

He throws his hat onto the end of the bed and kicking off his boots before unbuckling his belt. Bonney's eyes never left him as he crosses the room and enters the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Her mind busy picturing what is happening behind the door. She pictures Ace turning on the shower before pushing his shorts down over his hips to land on the floor in a puddle around his feet. She pictures him raising his arms to remove his beaded necklace, before he steps into the shower to have the water glide down his tanned, muscular body. She imagines that she is in there with him. That she stands just behind him, that she slowly leans forward and licks a water drop off his shoulder as he slightly shudders at the sensation. He would then turn around and pull her into his arms, before bending down and kissing her deeply, nibbling at her lips and sucking on her tongue. He would then slowly pull away from her lips and open his plump lips to say, "Your turn."

Blinking, Bonney looks up to see Ace leaving the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his hips with his clothes dangling from one hand he holds in front of him. Blushing a bright red Bonney quickly hurries into the bathroom and closes the door behind her.

Ace finishes his shower and gathers his things before leaving the bathroom. He looks around the room in search of Bonney, before spotting her in the exact same place she was standing when he went in to have his shower. He sees that her eyes are glazed over and that her skin is flushed. Not knowing what to do at such an erotic sight, he says, "Your turn."

Which makes her blink sharply and turn bright red, before she rushes past him into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. Shaking his head to clear the images of her naked with water streaming down her delectable body, Ace grabs his boxers and pulls them on before drying his hair. He sits down on the edge of the bed and slightly stares at the door of the bathroom, waiting for her to come out.

After a while he shakes his head once again clearing the images of her naked body streaming with water while he slowly licks every single droplet off her body, looking down he notices the tent that is forming in his boxers. He groans at the sight, but quickly covers his crouch with the towel when he hears the bathroom door open.

Bonney slowly steps out of the bathroom with the towel tightly wrapped around her to see Ace sitting on the edge of the bed with his towel held tightly in his grasp over his lap. Blushing slightly at the images that come to mind Bonney quickly walks around the bed, pulling the covers back and climbing onto the bed before pulling the blankets up over her chest. Finally, she looks up to see Ace is watching her with eyes filled to the brim with lust. Gulping once more, Bonney watches as he slowly stands to dim the lights, before he drops the towel, turns back the covers and slowly climbs into the bed bedside her.

Their eyes meet for a long moment before Aces eyes slowly start to travel over her face and down her neck. He looks up into her eyes and states, "You're shivering."

Bonney looks down at herself and notices that, yes, she was shivering. She looks back up at Ace and states, "Of course I am. It is freezing!"

Ace watches her for a moment before reaching out and pulling her into his arms. Bonney gasps in surprise at the heat that is emitting from his body, as well as the contact of his bare chest against her hands. Gulping again, Bonney looks up into Aces face, to say thank you, but the words die on her lips. For he was staring down at her as if she was the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Slowly Aces head starts to descend towards hers. His eyes flicker down to look at her lips when her tongue darts out to wet her lips in anticipation of his kiss.

Aces lips gently cover hers in a soft kiss, an experiment of sorts, to see if it felt as good as he has imagined. It takes but a moment for them to deepen the kiss. Ace licks the seam of her lips, asking for permission to enter her moist cavern. Slowly her lips open to his pleasant evasion. Their tongues meet, they tease each other until Bonney gives way to Aces exploring tongue. His tongue glides through her mouth to explore every little bit, to memorize it.

Bonney's hands slowly slide across Aces chest, up over his shoulders, around his head and into his hair. She holds him firmly against her, refusing to let him go. Aces hands soon get to work as well, they glided over her shoulders, down her arms, then back up, before he slowly draws them down her sides, pushing the towel to the side. The fabric of the towel grazes against Bonney's nipples, making them bead in anticipation of the feel of Ace's callused hands gliding over them, pinching them.

The towel tangles itself around Bonney's legs, which irritates her to the point that she breaks the kiss and sits up to untangle her legs from the towel, before throwing it away. Ace cannot help but chuckle at Bonney's little tantrum with the towel. The blankets have been pushed to the end of bed while Bonney was untangling herself from the towel, so her body was exposed to the cold air. As was Aces. Bonney looks down and realizes that from this vantage point she could see all of Ace's body as he lays stretched out on the bed bedside her. Her throat becomes extremely dry in anticipation when she sees the tent he has made in his boxers. Her hands slowly stretch out to rest upon Aces abs, to balance her as she lifts her leg and straddles him.

Aces hands raise to cradle just above her hips to hold her in place, stopping her from lowering herself to sit on his covered member. He stares at her uncovered form above his, his eyes study every curve and dip, while his hands slowly move up her back, gently pulling her down. Bonney's hands slide up Aces chest to his shoulders before she rests them on the bed on either side of his head. She slowly leans down and places another kiss on his lips, before he suddenly flips them, so that he is now on top resting between her beautifully spread legs, but their bodies don't touch, for Ace hold's himself up so that he can study her body for a while longer and appreciate this gift she allows him to see.

Bonney soon grows impatient with him, so she wraps her legs around his hips and pulls him down on top of her causing them both to moan when his member pushes against her soaking entrance. Moaning Bonney glides her hands down his back to his boxers where she moves her hands around to his sides before she slowly slides them into his boxers and pushes them down. Ace groans as the fabric of the boxers rubs against his pulsing erection. When his member springs free of the boxers Bonney pushes the boxers the rest of the way down, then reaches down and grazes the tips of her fingers along his length but is forced to stop when Ace grabs her wrists and pushes them above her head where he holds them down.

Ace chuckles at the look of annoyance that Bonney gives him, but he ignores it and bends his head to gently kiss along her collar bone. Giving it small nips every now and then, before his head dips down into the valley between her bust. Slowly he licks his way up one breast, around the nipple, gently biting it, before sucking it into his mouth. With one hand, he holds her wrists captive, while the other starts to knead her other breast. Gently twisting and pulling the nipple before he decides to change, so he gives her nipple one last lick before trailing his tongue back down into the valley and up over the other breast. His tongue twirls around her nipple before he gives it a sharp bite. Sucking the nipple into his mouth he starts to knead her other breast, gently pulling and twisting the nipple like he did with the other soft globe.

His hand then slowly drifts down her side and over her stomach. When his hand reaches her belly button, he uses one finger to trace around it before dipping into it. Bonney lets out a deep moan as she arches her back. Letting her nipple pop out of his mouth Ace bends down and claims her lips in a passion filled kiss that has them both panting for air when it finally ends.

Slowly his hand starts to slide down until his fingers are just touching the beginnings of her curls, but instead of moving down like she wants him to, he moves his hand to the side to smooth down over her round hip and down her soft thigh to her knee. Then he glides his hand around to the inside of her thigh, before slowly moving it up. It fills her with pleasurable warmth as she anticipates the touch of his hand on her most intimate place.

Eventually her wish is fulfilled, for his fingers move into her curls where they seek out her dripping entrance. His skilful fingers dip inside her while his thumb presses down on her clitoris, making her gasp out his name. He finally releases her wrists as his mouth once more seeks out one of her nipples and his hand finds the other smooth globe. Slowly he brings her to a place that is filled with so much pleasure that she can take no more and she lets go, giving release to her first orgasm of the night.

As her body shudders in the aftershocks of her orgasm, Ace thrusts his member deep inside of her causing her to cry out in pure bliss as she has her second orgasm. Ace holds her while she slowly calms down. He waits patiently for her body to calm but is surprised when she suddenly flips them. She straddles his hips while his member is still buried deep inside of her soaking channel. Moaning she slowly lifts herself up his twitching member before dropping back down. Ace groans out her name, before grabbing her hips tightly and helps her lift herself up faster.

They did not last long, as not long after Ace had grabbed her hips, he was able to hit that one spot that brings Bonney the most striking pleasure she has ever felt, causing her channel to contract around Ace causing them both to orgasm together. Bonney collapses on top of Ace, as all her energy is drained from her as her body is wracked with aftershocks of the most intense orgasm she has ever had. Ace gently wraps his arms around her, pulling her close, before dragging the blankets up over them to hold in the heat their activity had summoned. They drift off to sleep like that, with Bonney draped over Ace and Ace still buried deep inside of her.

They wake many times during that night and start their horizontal dance again, though technically some of those times were not strictly speaking horizontal. They spent the duration of the storm like that. On occasion, they left the room to get something to eat, or they adjourned to the bathroom to clean up a bit or have a not so horizontal dance in the shower. After three nights and days the storm finally passed, so the couple decide to part ways. They had one last dance before they said goodbye and left for their next destinations.

Four Months Later

The Bonney Pirate's ship docks at the port of an island to be repaired after a storm that they were caught in when their captain spots a small boat docked not far away. Blinking in surprise Bonney quickly yells to her crew to secure the boat and gather the supplies before jumping ashore and heading towards the closest dockhand. Grabbing his arm, she asks, "The owner of that boat over there, where is he?"

The dockhand sneers at her before saying, "I might tell ya if ya do me a favour."

At that moment one of her crew members yells out, "Captain Bonney what should we do about the repairs."

Looking up Bonney yells back, "Find someone to repair it!"

The crew member yells, "On it, captain."

Looking back at the dockhand she asks again, "Where is he?"

The dockhand gulps before raising a shaking hand to point to a pub across from the dock and mutters, "He went in there, ma'am."

Letting the dockhand go she pats his head and says, "Run along now."

Turning towards the pub she starts to walk towards it, while behind her the dockhand yells out in a much squeakier voice, "What the HELL happened to me!?"

Reaching the door Bonney takes a deep breath before pushing it open and looking around the interior of the pub, looking for him. She finally spots him sitting at the bar, with his head slumped forward. Slowly she walks towards him, watching the muscles in his back jump as his head suddenly raises. Sitting on the stool beside him she turns to face him. He looks up at her and blinks in surprise when he sees who it is that takes a seat beside him. Smiling she says, "It is good to see you again, Ace."

Grinning, Ace replies, "It is good to see you too, Bonney."

Suddenly her smile drops, and she looks at him seriously, before saying, "We need to talk. In private. This is important."
