Chapter 3
They had finished one jug and moved on to another. Sanji was taking slower sips while Zoro was chugging. He figured he could beat Zoro by just taking lighter sips. But as he drank more ale, the more he wanted. Sanji started taking bigger sips, and his head began to get foggy.
"How you doin', Shitty Cook?"
"Just fine, Moss-head,"
They were onto the third and final jug of ale.
Sanji started seeing double of everything. He was seeing Zoros, which would be terrible if it were real. Two Zoros are too much. Sanji began to feel a little warmer, and his head was getting foggier with each drink. But he couldn't let Zoro win!
Zoro was watching with amusement as Sanji drank more of the ale. He could tell that Sanji already had a buzz going, and he wasn't near being drunk yet. Zoro looked at Sanji, noticing the flush across his nose as he downed more ale. Zoro smirked; Sanji was going to lose. And, he was right. Sanji suddenly put down his cup and fell backward onto the furs. He was snoring softly.
Alpha thoughts raced through his head about the omega passed out in his bed. Sanji was ripe for the taking, but Zoro couldn't do it. No matter how much he wanted to, it wouldn't be fair to Sanji. Zoro pushed those alpha thoughts out of his head and moved Sanji's form so he was lying correctly on the furs. He took the fur blanket and covered Sanji with it. Zoro went to sit across the way, folding his arms and legs. He had no issue sleeping upright. He could sleep anywhere at any time. It was a little chilly in the cabin, but he couldn't lay next to Sanji under the furs. Sanji would be too close to him, and that might set off his alpha instincts. It's better to stay as he is.
However, he couldn't stop thinking about Sanji. The omega drives him crazy and pisses him off, yet there was something about him that made Sanji stand out from the rest of the omegas. He started to wonder where Sanji came from. Judging by his mannerisms and how he talked he had an education or grew up wealthy. There has to be a reason why Sanji would be in a monastery. He doubted Sanji would answer him if he asked.
Zoro yawned and finally closed his eye, leaning his head back against the wall. It didn't take him long to fall asleep. He had another dream about Sanji naked on a bed waiting for him. Zoro got on the bed and on top of Sanji where they danced together in an erotic motion of limbs. He imagined Sanji's arousal affecting every part of his body. He wants to see Sanji's nipples harden and feel the omega writhing under his touch and tongue. That mouth of his spits out insults, but Zoro would turn those insults into begging. He had never felt this much desire for an omega before. It woke him up from his short nap.
He saw Sanji still under the furs, sleeping off the ale. Zoro got up from his spot and went outside to make sure everyone was doing their job. He had to get his mind off of Sanji. The men were still rowing and it was getting dark out. They would all have to rest for the evening.
Portions of food were dished out as well as ale. Zoro sat with his men, drinking more ale. This crew was assigned to him, and he didn't make friends. They respected him, and that's what Zoro wanted the most. A short while later, the sun fully set and it was dark. All the men were passed out asleep as the boat gently rocked on the waves. Zoro was awake and sitting on the side of the ship. He lifted his head when the cabin door opened and Sanji came out. The blonde was holding his forehead and Zoro could hear him moaning. Zoro smirked- 'lightweight' he thought. Sanji was hungover. Zoro pretended not to acknowledge Sanji as the omega came over and sat beside him.
"I guess you won," Sanji said "For now," he added.
"Better luck next time," Zoro smirked.
"What are you doing out here?"
"Looking at the sky,"
Sanji looked up and saw all the bright stars littering the night sky.
"I didn't take you for someone who stargazes," Sanji said.
"There's not much to do on a ship like this," Zoro replied. "I'm also enjoying the quiet. Or rather, I was trying to enjoy the silence up until recently."
"Jackass," Sanji said flatly.
They sat in silence, watching the stars and listening to the rocking sound of the quiet boat. There was nothing to do and Sanji decided to go back inside the cabin. He settled himself onto the bed of furs and let out a sigh. He rolled over and caught the scent of Zoro. Zoro smelled like the sea with another scent that he couldn't name. Still, he couldn't help but feel his body reacting to it. He planted himself face-first in the scent and grumbled.
This was bad, Sanji thought to himself. He recalled the time one of his tutors was explaining to him how to be an omega. Sanji remembered the tutor said that once an omega finds an alpha's scent that they like, they will start nesting. Sanji recalled his brothers laughing and taunting him with that. Sanji grumbled and rolled away from the scent. He'd jump overboard rather than make a 'nest' and submit to an alpha. Let his alpha brothers be the ones to carry on the Vinsmoke name. Thinking about the hateful things his brothers did to him kept him from getting an erection from Zoro's scent. He rolled up in the fur blanket and groaned. He still had a headache.
The next day was uneventful, and so was the day after that. By the third day, they had finally hit land and the seaport. Sanji was relieved to get off that blasted boat! He dug his boots into the sand and took a deep breath, letting it out. He took a look at the land in front of him. It was very green with lots of hills. There was more green here than in his homeland. Someone walked up next to him and Sanji frowned to see that it was Zoro.
"We're not done traveling yet," Zoro said. "We have a lot of walking to do. We should reach my place by sundown. Are you going to be a pain in the ass and make me tie you up? Or are you going to walk?"
Sanji didn't want to be tied up again. He wouldn't run away, though. It wouldn't do him any good. He was a stranger in a strange land. And not just any land, but the land ruled by the barbarians. His best bet is to stay with Zoro for a while until he knows more about the land and how it operates. At least he wasn't with his family. Good riddance, he thought. He only nodded to Zoro and said,
"Let's get moving then,"
They started walking and Sanji was captivated by the beautiful landscapes. There were great fields and rolling green hills. The air smelled fresh, and the sky was overcast. It would start raining soon, Sanji realized. He didn't like to get wet from the rain, but he would endure it. What other choice did he have? Aside from that, he remembered hearing about the barbarian land. It was told to him that it was a blasphemous land full of rocks and fires with devils everywhere. Sanji was surprised to see that it wasn't true. The land was breathtaking. He wondered what it would be like to stand on the cliffs that look out over the ocean. Sanji would bet the sight was beautiful.
After a long walk, they arrived at the castle where Zoro lived. The group disbanded, and Zoro grabbed Sanji's arm, reminding the blonde that he was still a slave and couldn't leave. Sanji had kicked him but Zoro blocked it with his hand.
"I'm not in the mood for this," Zoro told him. "Keep giving me a hard time and I will put you in chains!"
"Someone should put you in chains," Sanji countered. "Pervert."
"What did you just call me?"
"You want to see me in chains so bad. That's some freaky bondage thoughts you have, Moss-head."
Zoro grits his teeth and growls in Sanji's direction. Sanji growled back, touching their foreheads together. Sparks flew between their gaze, but neither one would back down. It wasn't until a guard came up to them and said that Alpha Luffy was waiting for Zoro. Zoro finally broke their spark-filled gaze and turned to the guard.
"We'll head in now," Zoro said, motioning for the few men who stayed behind to cart the treasure into the castle. "Stay beside me and don't talk or say anything stupid."
"That should be a warning for you, not me,"
"Bite me, Curly Brow,"
Zoro then entered the castle with Sanji following beside him. He thought Sanji would make more attempts to take off. Zoro wondered if he should put Sanji in restraints so he could not leave. Sanji wouldn't like that, but the omega also couldn't fully be trusted.
When they entered the meeting hall, Zoro saw both Luffy and Law sitting on their dais chairs with their children. One child, who was still in cloth diapers, lay on Luffy's head. Two more young children were playing a game on the floor. A fourth was sleeping on the dais floor and the fifth one was in Law's arms. Law's belly was also a little swollen, which meant he was pregnant yet again. Zoro could never understand how someone like Law could have so many children. It wasn't the vibe he gave off. Law was a fierce omega and a skilled fighter until he crossed paths with Luffy. Zoro knew the story well.
Luffy put the child down and jumped up to greet him and he leaped off the dais and threw himself into Zoro, locking him in place with all four limbs.
"Zoro! You're finally back!" Luffy said. "I missed you a lot! What treasure have you brought us?"
"If you'll get off me, I'll show you," Zoro said with an amused smirk and Luffy unwrapped himself. Zoro showed him the cart of treasure, and there was a sparkle in Luffy's eyes.
"That's so much!" Luffy went to the cart to take a closer look. "This is a great haul! Good job, Zoro! I'll let you take whatever pieces you want for yourself!"
Zoro smiled. "I appreciate it, Luffy."
Sanji watched their reunion with a raised brow. The alpha named Luffy was shorter than them both, but behind that big smile and joyful laughter was an alpha that rivaled many. Luffy most likely was an Alpha Supreme, the head alpha of all other alphas here and beyond. Sanji himself felt a ting of submission as he watched Luffy chat with Zoro. They were friends, and this was where Zoro lived.
"So, who's this?" Luffy asked as he grinned at Sanji.
"My slave," Zoro answered.
Sanji gave Zoro the finger.
"Hm," Luffy crossed his arms, giving Sanji a look-over with his eyes. "Zoro, you know we don't have slaves in this castle. That's a rule of mine. Did you forget?"
"I didn't forget," Zoro said. But he really did forget. "I phased that wrong."
Luffy grinned at the omega. "And who are you?"
"Sanji."
"I'm Luffy! The big boss of this castle!" He grinned and pointed his thumb at his chest. "I'll be king of the alphas one day!"
Sanji couldn't help but smile. "King of the Alphas, huh? That's a pretty big dream."
"And you're welcome here in my castle," Luffy said. "I'm guessing you'll be servicing Zoro?"
Sanji scoffed. "Seems like it," Sanji realized that he could get out of this predicament completely if he told them he was a Vinsmoke. But he didn't want to.
"Hold on," Law suddenly spoke. He descended the dais stairs with poise and grace, holding a baby in his arms and two more toddlers following behind him holding onto his red waist sash. "Luffy, we don't know who this man is," he was referring to Sanji. "You can't just invite anyone to live in the castle,"
"Nah, it's fine! I trust him," Luffy grinned at his mate and picked up one of their toddlers. "He'll be with Zoro anyway."
Law turned his attention to Sanji.
Sanji could easily sense the sheer strength and power of a strong omega. Law's dark features and confidence proved he was more than just an omega with children. Sanji had never sensed an omega aura quite like this one. The hard gaze and frowning thin lips were a warning to Sanji. He could sense it. 'Stay away from my alpha' is what Law's gray eyes said. Sanji just nodded, and Law appeared to understand. Sanji did wonder how Luffy and Law ended up together. They seemed opposites. Luffy was filled with joy and laughter and acceptance. Law was hard, cold, and wasn't that friendly. Sanji was also taken aback by how many kids the pair had together. No one would look at an omega like Law and expect him to play a submissive omega parent. But something sparked between the two and Sanji was curious to learn what it was.
"I'm in charge of all omegas in this castle," Law told Sanji. "You may be Zoro's servant, but you are mine as well," he said seriously. "I am the Lord Omega, and you will also serve under me. Do you understand?"
Sanji just nodded.
"Good." Law returned to the dais.
Luffy laughed with his hands on his hips. "Don't let Tra-gay scare you! He's a good and strong omega, but he's not really mean."
"It's 'Law' when in public, Luffy," Law reminded him, taking his seat and let one of the toddlers crawl onto his lap.
"You guys must be tired," Luffy grinned and chuckled. "I'll have a hot bath sent to your room along with some food. I'll be going through the treasure!"
"Thanks, Luffy,"
Sanji hadn't seen Zoro smile like that before. Moss-head must respect Luffy to the point of loyalty and submission. He wouldn't think an alpha like Zoro would submit to anyone.
Sanji followed Zoro through the castle and to the top floor where the living area was. There were five more steps leading to a door and Zoro took a key and unlocked it, pushing the door open. Zoro went inside and Sanji quietly followed. Sanji took a look around the large room that was to be his cell. It was comfortable enough, with a large fireplace and two sofas facing it. There was a big bed with a dark canopy of green. Sanji flushed a little as he wondered if he would be sleeping there with Zoro. He liked the rich carpets on the floor, but in front of the fireplace were rugs made from bear pelts. The bed seemed to have a massive fur blanket as well. Sanji wondered if Zoro was also a hunter. It would explain the pelts.
Sanji opened one door to find the water closet and the other door led to a mostly empty room. There were straw dummies on stands and a lot of weights, like barbells. Sanji could assume this was Zoro's training room. He went inside without Zoro's permission and picked up one of the dumbbells. He curled it up and down, feeling the muscles tense with the movement. He picked up another one and did the same. He stopped when Zoro came in.
"What are you doing?" Zoro asked.
"Lifting weights," Sanji replied. "Is this how you train?"
Zoro nodded. "It's my training room." Zoro was a bit surprised at the amount of weight Sanji could lift. He seemed too comfortable in this room, which made Zoro's assumption of Sanji being of high-born correct. He did want to learn more about Sanji, but he doubted the omega would tell him much. Zoro crossed his arms and said, "I guess that's why you're a stronger fighter. You've lifted weights before,"
Sanji smirked and put the barbells down. "I have, though all my true strength is in my legs."
Zoro knew that firsthand. "There are a few things you need to know about being my sla-servant," he corrected himself. "I like my bed made in the mornings and turned down at night. You'll bring my food whether I'm in my room or dining with Luffy. I want booze around me at all times. You will sleep at the base of my bed and be at my call whenever I need you."
"Will you also require me to rub your feet and massage your back?" Sanji crossed his arms.
"I wouldn't say 'no' to that,"
"Dream on," Sanji turned away from him. "I'm no one's servant," he added. "I'm Sanji, and that is who I will be until I die. I do not give in to alphas."
"You have no choice," Zoro reminded him. "You're a prisoner."
Sanji frowned at that. There has to be something he can do to get away. Being a servant is still better than living in the monastery or being with his family. By now, his father knows what happened at the monastery and how he is missing. Judge Vinsmoke didn't care about him, so Sanji ignored the thought of being rescued. Right now, he has no choice but to be Zoro's servant. He was in a strange land with nowhere to go. He had no money and no friends. He knew he was in the north, and that was it.
Zoro gave him a change of clothes and Sanji went into the water closet to change. The clothes were simple enough, a white puffy-sleeve shirt and brown pants with short black boots. The clothes were comfortable enough to move in, especially if he had to use his legs.
He came out of the water closet to see that a large wooden tub was being transported to the training room. Sanji saw Zoro follow the tub into the room. Sanji decided to take this chance and get away. He dashed out the door and nearly fell down the five stone steps. He didn't know where he was going and he should go back. But he didn't want to see Zoro in the bath much less bathe him.
Sanji ran down the next set of stairs but bumped into someone. He had crashed into Law. Luckily, Law caught himself on the railing before he felt, a protective arm going right across his stomach. Sanji instantly regretted his escape. He nearly knocked a pregnant omega down the steps. And it wasn't just any omega, it was Law, Luffy's mate.
"I'm so sorry!" Sanji said. "I didn't see you!"
Law narrowed his gray eyes. "Where are you off to in such a hurry?" Law asked, his voice tinted with annoyance.
"I was…uh…I was just…talking a walk,"
"You don't sound so sure," Law said. "Are you trying to escape?"
"No…"
"You're lying."
"I don't want to be a servant," Sanji said.
"Well, you are," Law stated flatly. "And I also know who you really are,"
Sanji's eyes widened. Law's face was emotionless.
"You're a Vinsmoke, aren't you? I recognize those curly brows. And seeing you turn as pale as a ghost right now proves I'm correct."
"I'm not a part of them! Not anymore. I refuse to accept the name of Vinsmoke! I'm just and always will be Sanji."
"I heard that out of the four brothers, one was an omega. That brother was you, wasn't it?"
"...it was. But what do you hope to gain by having this knowledge about me?" Sanji asked.
Law shrugged his shoulders. "You're worth nothing to me. But I also don't want any trouble. I don't want Judge Vinsmoke declaring a turf war on us if he finds out you're here."
Sanji crossed his arms. "You don't have to worry about that," he said. "My father hates me and cares little for me, so he won't attack to get me back. You're safe in that regard."
"Hm. Go back to Zoro," Law said. "You can have a comfortable life here as a servant. I wouldn't suggest running away."
Sanji felt defeated because he knew Law was right. He had nowhere to go, and he could, technically, have a good life here. Sanji just didn't want an alpha or children. But Law doesn't seem like the type of omega to marry and have children. Law had six children in total and a seventh on the way. It seemed out of character for him. Is Luffy a bully alpha who just forces children on Law? No, that's not it. He sensed before that Luffy was a good alpha. Sanji was curious to know their story. Maybe Zoro knew it.
"Fine. I'll go back. But…I don't want to be mated or have children. Zoro and I don't get along. We fight a lot." That brought a small smile to Law's lips.
"Sounds familiar," was all he said. Suddenly, Law curled over, one hand holding his stomach as he let out a gasp.
"What's wrong?" Sanji asked. He could sense that Law was in distress.
Law was still hunched over, panting heavily. Sanji watched as Law lifted his black jerkin to touch between his thighs. When he pulled his hand back, there was blood on his fingertips. Sanji gasped and Law fell forward into him. Sanji caught him and cried out for help. He didn't know what to do. Law was panting heavily in his arms and making grunting noises. Sanji continued to call for help while holding Law upright. He could smell the metallic odor of blood.
Finally, a guard heard them as well as Zoro. The guard ran off to get help and Zoro took Law from Sanji, scooping him up in his arms.
"We don't have time to get him to the doctor," Zoro said. "Open that door for me," He told Sanji. "It's a guest room!"
Sanji pushed the door open and Zoro quickly carried Law inside, placing him on the bed. Sanji could tell that Law was holding back his cries of pain. Zoro said he was going to go get Luffy and the doctor, and for Sanji to stay. Sanji didn't know what to do to help Law. He knew it was a miscarriage, but he never thought it would be like this. Sanji also feared that this was his fault because he ran into Law on the steps. Could that have caused this? Sanji didn't know. All he knew was that he was never, ever going to have children after this.
The doctor soon came in with Luffy right behind. Sanji stood out of the way as the doctor proceeded to work on Law who was still writhing on the bed in pain. Sanji stood next to Zoro but he felt like they shouldn't be here. Luffy was sitting on the edge of the bed with Law. Zoro then motioned them outside the room. Sanji looked at Zoro and said,
"Is he going to be okay?"
"Law is strong," Zoro said. "He can fight through it. With Luffy there, he should be fine."
Sanji just nodded. They stood in silence outside the door until the doctor came out, wiping blood off his hands with a white cloth. Sanji felt sick to his stomach at the sight. He could just see this happening to him and his father calling him a 'failure' and 'useless.' Law was lucky to have a kind alpha like Luffy by his side.
"Is he okay?" Zoro asked the doctor.
"Yes. He'll be fine with some rest," the doctor replied. "Alpha Luffy is going to carry him their bedroom instead. Someone needs to clean the bedsheets in there. Find someone to do it."
Sanji hoped Zoro wouldn't ask him to do it.
"We'll take care of it," Zoro said and brought Sanji inside where Luffy was still sitting on the bed with Law.
When Sanji saw how ghostly pale Law looked startled him. The smell of blood was still strong in the air. Law's eyes were closed and his breathing slow. Sanji also saw a hint of a tear in the corner of Law's eye. Luffy looked so depressed that it was bringing the whole room down. Sanji liked the happy and energetic Luffy better.
"Is everything okay?" Zoro asked Luffy.
"Yeah, he's okay," Luffy replied. "He just needs some rest. The kids are going to have to stay with the nanny for a few days. I need to bring him to our room, but the sheets-"
"We'll clean them," Zoro offered.
Luffy thanked them and carefully lifted Law from the bed, holding him bridal style. Law was taller than Luffy, but Luffy lifted him as if he weighed nothing. Sanji watched them leave and then turn to the bed, seeing the white sheets splattered with blood. Sanji felt faint, but he held himself together.
"Let's get the servants to clean this up," Zoro said. "Come with me."
Sanji was relieved to leave that room. He followed Zoro until they found a servant and told them what needed to be went back to Zoro's room and Sanji sat on the sofa. The tub of bathwater had become cold, but Zoro said he was still going to take a bath. Sanji glanced over at Zoro's form by the door leading to the training ground. Zoro had no issue stripping in front of him. A part of him wanted to see Zoro's naked body but he quickly trashed the thought. He would like a bath too, but he was not about to share with Zoro. No one but his brothers and the omegas in the monastery have seen him naked. He was uncomfortable with the thought of stripping in front of Zoro. He will just say dirty for another day.
Sanji was getting a little anxious with the silence and he hated himself for this, but he wanted to know Luffy and Law's story. He would have to ask Zoro, who was in the tub. Sanji sighed and peeked his head around the door, seeing Zoro in the tub. Zoro was either sleeping or looked very relaxed.
"Hey," Sanji called softly to him.
Zoro opened his eye. "What?"
"I'm curious to know about Luffy and Law. What's their story? After today…"
"It's fine to ask that question," Luffy took a wet rag and started to wash himself. "Law, who's full name is Trafalgar D. Water Law, was the captain of the guards here. He replaced the older captain. Luffy was still the head alpha and took a liking to Law. But Law was difficult to woo, and Luffy was," he smirked. "Well, Luffy was persistent. He often chased after Law, offering him gifts like flowers, gold, jewelry, meat…and Law always said 'no' and would chase him away with his sword. But like all omegas, Law went into heat and he was fighting away alphas who wanted to take him. When Luffy showed up to help, Law submitted himself then, and they've been together ever since."
"But it seems a little odd that Law would have so many children."
Zoro smirked. "I thought that too. I know Law doesn't look it at all, at least not in public. He fawns over his children. And he's a 'mama bear' too. You mess with his children you won't live to see another day. Law accepted his omega duties and quit being captain to be with Luffy and their children."
That was what Sanji was most afraid of, losing who he is as a person and only for an alpha's pleasure. Sanji vowed that it would never happen to him. He did not want to be beneath an alpha in standing. After seeing what happened to Law today, he never wanted children, either. He will tend to his heats in private and just ride them out. His body and mind would always be his and his alone.
"Hey, Curly Brow, wash my back," Zoro said.
"I'm not bathing you,"
"It's just my back. I'm not asking you to do my whole body."
Sanji crossed his arms over his chest. "No. I won't do it. You're a grown man! Do it yourself!"
"Servants don't talk back to their master!" Zoro said.
"Then I'll be the first!" Sanji countered.
Zoro threw the wash cloth at Sanji. Sanji rolled it into a ball and threw it back twice as hard. It hit Zoro in the face and the alpha became red with anger. Zoro got up and threw the cloth back at Sanji, but as he did, he slipped on the wet floor. He pinwheeled his arms but he ended up falling on his ass. Sanji was bent back with laughter, pointing at him.
"Have a nice trip? See you next FALL!" Sanji said and continued to laugh.
Zoro grabbed the soap and threw it at Sanji from his spot on the floor. The soap hit Sanji right between the eyes.
Sanji didn't know what hit him, but he stepped on something hard and he slipped, falling on his ass as well. Sanji saw that it was a bar of soap.
"You asshole!" Sanji shouted.
"Curly Brow jackass!" Zoro went for the soap and grabbed it only to have Sanji try to take it from him. "I'm going to shove this thing up your ass!"
"I'd like to see you try, Moss-head! This is going down your throat!"
The soap slipped from both their grasps and landed nearby. They both jumped for it again only to crash their heads together as they pushed the soap out of the way, its pale form sliding across the floor.
Zoro was still going for the soap, as was Sanji. Sanji didn't actually want the soap, he just didn't want Zoro to have it. They collided again and missed the bar of soap. Sanji got up but then fell face down when Zoro grabbed his ankle. Sanji used his other foot to kick Zoro in the face, but he missed and got his shoulder instead. But Zoro wasn't giving up. Sanji felt a weight on his back and Zoro's hand pushed his head against the floor. Zoro was straddling him and holding him down. Sanji struggled to break free but he was completely helpless under Zoro. He could feel Zoro's groin against his lower back.
"Get off me!" Sanji demanded.
"You sure as hell know how to piss me off," Zoro growled.
Sanji had a quick flashback to when he was a child and his brothers would hold him down like this. It would be hard to breathe and he could never break free until he had to beg them. He swore that would never happen again, and Sanji used that memory to break free of Zoro's grasp. Using all his strength, he lifted Zoro's form off of him and then used his leg to kick Zoro backward. Sanji spun his body and let his leg swipe Zoro's, making the alpha fall again.
Zoro hissed in pain when he fell back onto the wet floor. His shoulder was badly aching from Sanji's fierce kick. The omega was like a wild stallion, beautiful to look at but deadly with his hooves and kicking. Suddenly, Sanji was on top of him and the omega pressed his arm hard against his throat. Zoro gasped for air as the pressure made it difficult to breath. Sanji was straddling him, using those long, strong legs to keep him still. He wasn't going to let Sanji win. He brought both his hands up to wrap around Sanji's neck, and he squeezed hard.
One of them had to break, or else they would both pass out. In the end, Zoro was the winner. Sanji had removed his arm from his throat and rolled off to lay beside him. Both men were panting, aching, and wet. Neither one could move.
Zoro felt himself growing semi-erect after their little scuffle. Sanji was unlike any omega he has ever met. He glanced over at Sanji to see two hard nipples poking through the wet white top. Zoro wanted to feel those pert nubs under his fingers and even between his teeth. His alpha instincts were fighting his resolve. He wanted to slide his hand into Sanji's pants and stroke the omega slit that was nestled between the balls and the anus. He wondered how much he could drive Sanji crazy by stroking it. He wanted nothing more than to claim the wild omega for himself. He would make Sanji submit in some way. But now was not the time.
"I think the food is here," Zoro said.
"Good. I'm hungry."
"Me too."
They both just laid there, staring at the ceiling.
"You're a bastard," Sanji said.
"And you're a jackass." Zoro countered.
They continued to lay on the floor.
~*~ Elsewhere~*~
"Why isn't he here?" Blackbeard demanded, banging his fist on the table.
"The monastery was attacked," Judge Vinsmoke replied. "It was attacked by Northmen,"
"And have you gone after him?"
"We're looking for him," Judge said. "But I promise you, when we find him, he will be ready for you."
Blackbeard crossed his arms. "Good, because I don't like to be kept waiting! Either find him or you'll lose this alliance."
"Don't fret, we'll find him," Judge said. "I already sent out messenger birds seeking his location. Someone is bound to have seen him. I even offer a cash reward,"
Blackbeard smirked. "Good thinking with offering money. People would turn in their own mothers for money. And he better still be a virgin when you find him. I don't take an alpha's sloppy seconds."
"I'm sure everything will be fine," said Judge. "We'll let you know the moment we find him."
"Good," Blackbeard stood up from his chair. "I want that omega son of yours. And he'd better be fertile like you said. If he isn't, I'm sending him back to you and there will be no alliance!" With that, Blackbeard left the meeting room.
Judge grumbled under his breath and then his three alpha sons came up to him.
"Let's us find him, father," Said Reiji. "We'll bring him back,"
"I'll check all the whorehouses," Niji said with a smirk.
"No, not yet," Said Judge. "First, I want you three to go to the monastery and find out what those monks know. They may have a good description of the Northmen. Ride out now! We can't put this off any longer. He needs to be found!"
