[ Just the press of her body against him sends a pleasant little tingle across his skin. While he'd never admit it too readily, it wouldn't be a lie to say that he's gotten kind of hooked on... whatever this is. Not that he's trying to put a label on their relationship, other than crewmates who occasionally fuck. Obviously. Why would he want it to be anything else or anything more than that?

Obviously.

Now that she is so close, his arm curls around her waist, drawing her up closer and more secure against him. ] Oh, sure. Gotta protect that pride of yours. [ As his other hand pushes up under her shirt, skimming up her back and savoring the silk of her skin against his. ] So tough.

[ Kissing his neck grants her enough cover to hide the grin on her face, though Zoro might feel it each time her lips press against his skin. There's an unspoken understanding between them, a wordless agreement to just, be cool about this, and for the most part Nami's fairly good at that. Times like these, however, when he gathers her up in his arms and pulls her closer, it becomes impossible to hide just how much she likes how warm and strong he always feels. Thankfully, fucking hides a lot, or so Nami wants to believe.

Her back arches towards his hand like a smug, contented cat, as a pang of want works its way through her body, leaving her nipping at his neck to hide the way her breath catches in her throat. ]

Look who's talking about being tough. [ Nami says, finally leaning back enough to look at him before favoring him with a playful roll of her eyes. ] If you're that determined to spoil me, you might be able to convince me to let you.

[ No, that grin doesn't go unnoticed. Neither does how much she enjoys this, enjoys him, and he knows that if he starts tugging on that thread, the illusion that this is something completely devoid of feelings and any deeper meaning might completely unravel. So he doesn't, for the time being, and just quietly enjoys how much she's hooked on it - just like he is, admittedly, but they don't need to talk about that, either.

His hand slides up, fingers trailing over her shoulderblade for a moment, and then his blunt nails drag back down. Just enjoying the touching of her, the closeness. ] Oh, sure. I'd only have to twist your arm a little.

[ It's his turn to nuzzle into her hair, now. To kiss the shell of her ear where it pokes through, and tug it gently with his teeth, just to mess with her a little more. ] If I told you I wanted to eat you out, you'd spread your legs for me in a heartbeat. Be honest.

[ Given that greedy streak of hers, it should be obvious what Nami's answer would be if he offered to start the night off by spoiling her in a way she already knows he's shockingly talented at. But that's not part of cool and casual, and while she knows they both know what her answer is, she stays quiet for the moment, chuckling quietly as her fingers run down the nape of his neck before delving beneath his shirt just enough to touch over the skin beneath.

Zoro's lips brush her ear, and Nami's grateful he can't see it when her eyes flutter half-closed at the sensation and the fresh heat it sends through her. Again she tries to hide a smile against his skin before her lips part and her teeth rake gently against his skin. ]

If you told me you wanted to eat me out… [ Nami says quietly, playfully. Her hand runs up his chest, careful of the spots he might still be healing, pushing up the fabric as she moves, and fully intending to pull it off if he'll let her. ] I would tell you not to think you're going to win this bet that easily, while opening my thighs so you could try to prove me wrong. [ Because she wants him in ways that seem to change and develop the longer this goes on, and she'd be hard-pressed to stop him from doing almost anything she knows they both want because of it. ]

[ No, of course she can't just admit what she wants. That would be too easy, right? And she never does anything easily, does their Nami. She has to posture, and play her games, and make him feel like she's doing him a favor, half the time. It'd be irritating, if he didn't usually enjoy the end result.

Of course, he does. So. That helps. ]

And I would prove you wrong, is the thing. You know that I can make you see stars.

[ Purred right into her ear, a promise, or maybe a threat, considering his tone. It's one or the other, and maybe a little bit of both, but he doesn't think she'll complain too much about it. Nor does he think she'll complain about the way his hand drifts down her back, tracing the faint bumps of her spine, before he's settling his broad palm around the curve of her ass. Squeezing. And finding that she isn't wearing anything underneath that shirt, no, that there's just bare skin waiting for him. ]

No panties? Cute. [ He bites at her ear again, nibbles it, before turning down to press a few kisses to her throat, this time. ] You really are dying for me to give it to you, huh?

I just started feeling my thighs again after you made me come the last time, I figured you'd want to fix that. [ It's an interesting approach to feeling out how much of her guard she needs to keep up – and truthfully, in those soft moments of weakness where she's stealing glances at his face while his cock is buried inside her, and they're both flushed, it feels like she needs to do rein it in much more than she does – but it gives her a sense of control, even if at times her feelings veer in unplanned directions.

For all her posturing, her hands reveal her impatience, those deft pickpocket's fingers unfastening his pants in a matter of seconds, before her hips tip forward just enough to press against him in a subtle, but blatant show of insistence. ]

Zoro– [ Grinning again in spite of herself, Nami's mouth runs kisses along his jaw, until she's close enough that her lips brush against his as she finishes her thought. ] I really want you to fuck me.

[ he lets out a little huff of a laugh at that. she's trying to play to his ego, clearly, and the annoying part is that it's absolutely working. especially because, putting on a tough face or not, he does know what he can do to her body. their sexual chemistry is kind of unreal, there's no two ways about it, and he's seen her in the aftermath, her guard lowered as much as he thinks it ever is - except maybe to luffy, but luffy is special that way.

that she gets to see his lowered too is... not up for discussion right now. ]

Flattery will get you... a lot of places. [ so will sliding her hand down his pants, or nearly, and he groans a little as she rubs herself against him with a sinuous grace. she might be eager, but she'll be able to feel his eagerness in reply when she rubs against him. there's no hiding that. ] Let's get you to bed, then.

[ his arms wrap around her properly in that moment, picking her up off the ground like she's basically weightless. to him, she might as well be. she fits nicely against his body, too, her ass pleasantly filling his palms, and he knows the way to her bed easily enough by now to carry her over to it - and just drop her on it, of course. he'll leave it to her to get comfortable while he finishes throwing off his shirt, and shoving down his pants. ]

[ Zoro makes short work of getting her to her bed, but it still gives Nami enough time to catch his mouth in a hotly open kiss, her tongue licking into his mouth as her palm curves over the hard line of his cock through his already loosened pants, the firm press of him enough to send a pang of desire straight to her core. ]

You're so reasonable when you're turned on.

[ After he drops her on the bed, she's swift to pull her shirt off and toss it to the side, before moving towards the edge of the bed, sitting up with her thighs bracketing his hips as her hands run up his arms and over his collarbone, only to sink into his hair and pull him down into another, hungrier kiss, keeping as much of her body against his as she can while guiding them both back onto the bed. That she's eager enough to get teased about it later fleetingly crosses her mind before the thought is cast side in favor of indulging that greedy streak running through her, something she wouldn't associate with him outside the bedroom – or so she'd tell herself. ]

[ It always feels just a little different when they kiss. It doesn't mean anything, of course. It's not romantic, it's not intentional, it's just another show of hunger, of need, something primal and eager. The way he kisses her is open-mouthed, desiring, all tongue and teeth and heated breaths and noises flowing into one another. No one would mistake it for romantic, least of all the two of them. Obviously. There's no room for any of that here.

Not that he isn't going to very much tease her about grabbing him by the hair and kissing his breath away, later. Assuming he remembers it. She's so demanding, pulling him down, dragging him onto the bed, but he meets her eagerly. Pins her back with the weight of his body, his hands sliding down to run across her naked skin. Her breast, her stomach, her thigh.

Then his hand is right between her legs, reaching for her, stroking the dampness of her folds and loving how he can feel himself gliding across her skin. She's always so hot to the touch, molten, perfect when she wraps around his cock, and that very part of him throbs and pulses at the mere thought. A part of him just wants to push her legs open and sheathe himself inside of her, but he doesn't, yet. Instead he strokes her, slowly, with firm pressure as he teases between her lips, threatening to thrust his fingers inside but not doing it yet. Not quite yet. ]

[ It's not romantic, just an exhilarating, heated rush of moments that she may or may not relish almost as much as the sex itself – a normal thing not worth examining in the slightest. Zoro kisses her, hot and intense as the rest of him, leaving Nami humming low against his mouth as one hand roves down his back, mapping the planes of his body like she might always be doing at times like these, as the other stays curled in the short strands of his hair.

Another grin gets tucked away, hidden between kisses and the way her body arches under the hand he runs down her body, before she feels his fingers glance over her folds. Zoro's touch is maddeningly light despite the strength she knows exists in those hands, leaving her hips shifting, squirming impatiently as he gives her so much and yet not enough at the same time. ]

Zoro– [ Nami murmurs before tugging his bottom lip with her teeth and letting her hips arch up, trying to get closer to him, the low ache radiating between her thighs flaring needily. ]

[ if he wanted to, he could point out the greedy way she runs her hands over his body. how she clings to his back, strokes his muscles, tries to chart him as finely as she does the ocean itself, and all the things that might mean. that she's the one who's soft, that she's the one who's needy, and might be catching feelings. but of course, if he did that, they'd have to talk about feelings, probably, and neither of them want that, do they? neither of them want to cross that river. so they just won't.

what he can tease her about, though, is the way she arches up against his hand, pressing herself closer to his fingers. his hand moves back at the same time, just a little, to keep teasing her, until he's pushing in. letting one strong finger start to part her folds and slide inside that perfect heat, feeling her wetness coat him even more as he begins to slowly fuck her on his hand. ]

Needy. [ that's his only answer against her lips, biting her back in turn before trailing more kisses down her throat. his teeth graze her tanned skin, careful not to dig in too tightly. the last thing either of them need is for her to be walking around with visible hickeys and having to find some way to explain it.

though that doesn't mean he can't leave marks where they're not visible. ]

[ Some things she could cobble together a defense for. She kisses him this hungrily to stop him from saying anything too infuriating or stupid, her hands rove over him and pull him close because she doesn't want him to get lost, but for everything Nami might lie her way out of owning up to, there are details that if pressed on, she'd have no rebuttal to, and likely no choice but to bristle over being called out.

But he doesn't do that, and she's grateful for it, really – because there's nothing to say and no reason to say it, and that's how they both like it. Probably.

Not like there's much to dislike, with her thighs shifting to press against his hips in a show of impatience that melts into another way to hold onto him, as his finger sinks into the velvet clutch of her cunt, drawing out a soft, shuddering moan, and compelling her legs to wrap loosely around his hips. ] Such a jerk. [ She pants with zero sincerity, tipping her chin up as he kisses along her neck, her nails dragging light trails over his back. ] Getting me this wet and not filling me with your cock.

[ For the time being, at least, they're just crewmates, partners, sometimes rivals, and often bedmates, and it doesn't need to be anything more than that. He's certainly not looking for anything more, and despite her moments where her armor slips, he doesn't think she is, either. They're on a mission, together, and the One Piece takes priority over everything else.

After? They'll see what happens when there's an after.

Right now, he's well occupied. The drag of her nails down his back and the squeeze of her muscles is plenty appealing, and a perfect sign of just how much an effect he's having on her already. Especially when she whines like that, pants, tugging at his hair, and he repays her by nipping under her chin, as he eases a second finger nice and deep inside of her. His cock throbs at the promise of being in her, but he can wait. He has patience. A little. More, he thinks, than she does, and that's the important part. ]

If you need more, you can just say it. [ He murmurs the words against her throat, hot and low between his kisses. ] You're cute when you beg.

[ A bodily shudder runs through Nami's body as Zoro presses into her with two fingers now, her walls hot and slick as they flutter around him, betraying just how much she wants him despite her best efforts at playing it cool. The hand on his back sweeps over his side, as Nami reaches the other behind her to push herself up on the mattress, her body pressing against his more insistently as she makes it easy for her fingertips to travel low on his stomach, following the slope of his hip down to the base of her cock. ]

Begging you not to waste this– [ Nami breathes, her head turned to hide her face against his hair as her hand fists the base of his cock, palm curving almost delicately as she massages the shape of him, taking her time to stroke upward. For all her bluster, she wants him enough to momentarily relinquish casual, her teeth tugging at his earlobe before she murmurs a quiet, but markedly determined– ] Fuck me Zoro.

[ That's just the reaction that he's hunting for, too. To overwhelm her a little, to prove just how badly she wants it. She's so slick, so hot, and there's no denying that she's dying to be filled, and satisfied, and he wants to give it to her, too. Wants to feel that heat wrapped around him. He's just doing a slightly better job, this time, at holding it back, at seeming like he's not too desperate.

Though the way she curls her hand around his cock doesn't quite help. He's very hard, yes, all for her, all for her body and her noises and the way she looks, the heat in her eyes and the syrupy sound of her voice when she's all worked up. When she's demanding. ]

So picky. [ But he's not complaining, not really. His fingers draw out of her and suddenly he's pushing her thighs back, forcing her open nice and wide so that he can guide himself against her. His cock runs slickly against her folds, back and forth a few times to savor the heat of her, before starting to push slowly into her. Savoring it, the heat, his eyes closing over for a moment and head tipping back while he just revels in her. ]

[ If there was any doubt of just how badly she wants him, the way she arches towards him, thighs parted wide enough to bracket his hips, as his cock sinks into her, and the soft moan of bliss that follows ought to remove all doubt.

Times like these are when it's alright to be greedy. He'll give her shit for it in the aftermath, but as the length of his cock is sheathed inside her to the hilt, she doesn't care about that. She rocks up, grinding against him slowly as one of her thighs settles on Zoro's hip, he's already close, but she wants him even more so. ]

You like it. [ Potentially dangerous words breathed out in an almost purred out moan, her head turning, the bridge of her nose nuzzling against the side of his face before her lips find his neck, leaving her stamping kisses over his skin, warm and open, sucking just enough to leave a mark that'll vanish before morning. ]

[ He, though, has no doubt about how badly she wants it. Of course she does. She always gets so worked up when they do this, always seems to come so hard, that he has no lack of confidence. It's still nice to feel the way she clings to him, though, her leg curling around his hip, pressing up as close as she can get.

And she answers him, sheathing himself to the limit inside of her. Pumping firmly against her, since he knows by now that she's not exactly the type for gentle most of the time. That would likely feel too emotional, too much like something that this absolutely isn't. If it's just hard, and urgent, and primal, then it's just fucking. Which is all it is. Obviously.

He smirks a little at those words, that moan, tipping his head back while he savors the heat of her. He never tires of it. Sometimes, in brief fleeting moments, he lets himself think that she feels almost like she was made for him, a perfect match. But he'll never, ever admit that to her. That would give her too much power. ] Not as much as you do. Fuck, you're tight.

[ Beyond the obvious, there's more to her enjoyment. He's fantastic at this, ready willing and able to fuck her into the mattress, more than enough to get her pulse racing just on the promise or having his cock buried deep inside her, but the sex isn't entirely everything. If asked she'd deny that there isn't a part of her — that feral part that grew up cut off from others and raising herself — that likes him close, closer than she's had the pleasure of letting anybody get to her beyond a fast encounter at a bar between running cons and hustles. It's not a relationship, not anything beyond the sleep they both lose in favor of nights like these, but it gives her more than she'd ever tell him.

Showing him, however, is at least partially inevitable. There's a point where holding back becomes harder than it ever has, when she's rolling her hips, fucking herself against his cock and hiding her face against his neck stifling her moans with kisses against his throat, it's impossible to mask how much she likes this.

Already she can feel that hot tension that's pooled low in her core making her pulse race as her hands rake down his back, nails dragging light trails over his skin, every thrust of his cock feeding into her building climax. ] That doesn't sound like a complaint. [ Nami counters breathlessly as she lifts her head, her eyes blown dark with desire when they meet his, lips parting in a breathless smile as she fights the urge to tell him just how good this feels. ] Fuck, I'm gonna come so hard Zoro, don't stop.

[ They have a connection, certainly. A lot of differences, obviously, in their skills, their philosophies, they way they carry themselves and handle the world - but in a lot of ways, they're Luffy's left and right hand. That means something. And while it's his job to keep a sharp eye out on everyone, including the rest of the crew - seeing as Luffy is far too optimistic and open-hearted to do that himself - he knows that he can trust her to be smart, trust her to get them where they want to go, and to make the good decisions.

Is it more than that? Certainly nothing that he'll ever admit. But he's happy to be the one giving this to her, and he's getting exactly what he needs out of it besides. Her, her body, the pleasure that perhaps only she can bring.

Like now, like when her eyes are so dark and so hot as she looks up at him. He can feel her trembling and clenching around him and he smirks a little, leaning down to nibble at her ear as he ruts into her without hesitation, without slowing for a second. ] You must have been wound up tight. So easy. Go on, don't hold back. I want to feel you come on me.

[ Funny that moments like this is perhaps the most wordy that Zoro ever gets - even if it's still mostly mono-syllabic. ]

[ It's a strange twist of fate that threw her in her crew’s path, but somehow as bizarre as it might be, it all makes sense. Naturally, Luffy needs not one but two voices of reason, and of course it was only a matter of time before the two most level-headed members of the crew took their quiet comissierating one step over the line – and then another. Nevermind that this goes far beyond what she's known, and the greed he brings out of her is more vivid and multifaceted than she could put into words, it still feels like it makes sense. It feels right.

That doesn't stop her from exhaling a shaky, breathless laugh when he urges her on, the hand on his back sliding down to grasp at his hip, selfishly pulling him in for more as her hips arch up, rolling faster as her need, and that searing tension rises through her. ]

So fucking smug. [ Her free hand slides up the nape of his neck before her fingers card through his hair, turning her head as he nibbles at her ear to try and mask a moan. The muscles of her inner thighs almost twitch, as the slicked heat of her cunt clutches tight around him, coming undone in a flurry of trembling curses and the soft sighing sound of his name. Which is all because of the orgasm and not at all because he drives her crazy in all the best ways. ]

[ She's always been a little bit greedy, hasn't she? It's part of what makes her tick, as far as he's concerned. These days, he just happens to know that she has a good reason to be - that she earned her need for money, the way she obsesses over it, the way that he obsesses over strength, and his sword. So can he really judge her, when she clings to him so tightly, when she gets so greedy for his body and his attention, in these quiet moments when no one else is around?

No. But he can tease her about it, anyway.

It's not that quiet, either, as he fucks her hard. As she pants against his ear, and his throat, as she holds him close, starting to tremble and shudder underneath him. She's coming to pieces, he can feel it, and he fucks her through her orgasm as best he can when she clutches so tight around his cock, almost like she's trying to milk him inside of her. ]

Damn - right. [ Of course, she has her own reason to be smug. She feels so fucking good, clinging onto him, and he growls out his pleasure as he presses his head down and bites on the meat of her shoulder for a moment, trying to hold back the throbbing in the pit of his stomach. His thrusts slow, a steady motion, not wanting to give in that easily. He has his pride to consider. ]

Zoro– [ The steady roll of her hips stutters as he fucks her through her orgasm, slowing but never ceasing, ensuring her breaths stay sharp and shivering against his neck while her fingers tighten in the short strands of his hair. If she's greedy, maybe he is too, maybe they're both indulgent for letting this happen again and again. It's something she could think too much about if she allowed herself to, and while Nami is most at ease when she's gotten to the root of, and planned her way out of any puzzling problem that lands in her path – he makes it very hard to think, or care about unraveling this particular knot.

Her arms tighten around Zoro as she feels him fight to keep himself under control, gasping louder than she would have liked as his teeth find her shoulder. Fresh heat works through her body, as, even with her senses swimming as blissfully as they are, she recovers just enough to arch against him, tipping her hips up and pressing them flush against his before she grinds against him, keeping his cock pressed deep inside the slick, shuddering warmth of her cunt. Nami accepts that her efforts to undermine his resolve will end her trembling against him all over again, but as much as she likes stealing his reasons to be smug, she wants to see him as blissed out and fuckstruck as she is right now.

There's no concealing the color clinging to the apples of her cheeks when she tilts her head back enough to meet his gaze, but thankfully, she doesn't have to try to hide for long before the need to kiss him wins out, and she's pulling him into another kiss. ]

[ It's everything that he hopes for. The way she trembles, the way she whines, the way she seems to lose control of herself, practiced motions faltering as she gets more and more worked up around him. She's usually so good at keeping in control, one of the most level-headed of their little crew by far, clever and cunning and dangerously competent. So it's nice to see her coming apart sometimes, to see her weak, and vulnerable, and needy. It's fucking adorable, frankly. Not that he thinks she'd quite appreciate hearing it in those terms.

Of course, she's not making it easy on him, though, is she? She clings to him more tightly, presses up her hips to bury him deep, deep in the heat of her and keep him there as best she can. And she really does feel perfect. Like she was made for him, if he was feeling particularly sappy, or maybe just particularly honest, and he's never going to admit a thought like that out loud. Even if it's true, even if she feels so good as he ruts into her, and she's doing her best to push him over that edge, too. And it's working. Of course it's working.

It's almost a good thing she kisses him, gives him something else to focus on. The heat of her mouth, the softness of her lips, and he groans, urgent and hot into her mouth, moans swallowed a little into the passion. His hips rut faster against her, now, picking up pace urgently as the heat keeps building in the pit of his stomach, as his balls clench and burn with the need to come. Fighting his need as he fucks her faster, harder, tangling his fingers in her hair and biting urgently at her bottom lip without a care, just because he needs to vent his frustration somehow. ]

[ Her hands move from his hair to grasp his shoulders, the blunt tips of her nails digging into his skin as every thrust of his hips sends jolts of nearly overwhelming pleasure through her. It's just like him to push her over the edge and keep going, ensuring she stays breathless, every inhale as ragged as the way she continues to move against him, stubborn and eager in equal measure, though she'd swear it was all the former and not the latter. The full range of ways she enjoys this with him is absolutely none of his business, after all.

Right now, there's no hope of hiding anything – not with the way she's still so tight and wet around him, her chest pressing against his almost as needily as the rest of her, her body almost buzzing from how close she is to coming a second time. The sharp feel of his teeth when they catch her bottom lip only serves to feed into that building bliss, the breathy moan tumbling past her lips inching into a low purr of a growl as ordinarily nimble hands claw and scrabble down the line of his back, leaving marks that are likely soon to fade without so much as a second thought about restraint or playing it cool. She can tell how achingly close he is, the firm press of his cock, somehow growing even harder, stretching and filling her as he fights his own orgasm and drives her out of her wits as a result.

Grasping greedily at his hip with one hand, the other finds his jaw, palm curving to almost cradle the side of his face as she draws back, only to duck her head and run bites down his throat, sucking hard at his skin as the last of what passes for resolve slips away, that second orgasm ensuring that she's trembling even as she works hard to hide every whimper and moan she can against his throat. She goes tighter around his cock, slicking the length of him up with fresh wet as her inner thighs twitch against his sides. ]

[ Well, why would he ever go easy on her? It's not like she ever does it to him, always needling and pushing - well-meaning, of course, but still. She tests him plenty, so it's only fair that he does the same to her, pushes her limits and sees how close he can get her to breaking. Besides, with how she moans, with how wet she is beneath him, can she really argue that she isn't loving it?

Not that he has much self control left himself. She clings to him so tightly, every perfect inch of her body wrapped around him and gripping close. The heat of her mouth, the noises that she lets out, the drag of her sweat-slick skin against his chest and his hips, and the urgent wetness between her legs. He can hear it, feel it, every thrust inside of her audible with how he churns her up inside, and that's without including the deliberate smack of his skin against hers, his body pressed tight and his cock buried as deep as he can go inside of her. It's all soo good, keeps his head spinning a little, the adrenaline surging through his body like only the best fight can manage. He's addicted to her like he's addicted to the blade, and he knows it.

And then she comes underneath him, and any restraint slips away. He's made his point, seized his little victory in sending her shuddering into bliss, and he rams into her two, three more urgent times before he comes hard himself, his forehead pressing against her shoulder and a sharp, harsh bark of pleasure escaping his lips. He cuts loose, flooding inside of her, his muscles seizing and trembling in his thighs, and for a moment the entire world goes white. She's the only thing in it. Her breathing, her scent, the warmth of her body.

He can never tell her that, of course, but he can't deny how satisfying a moment it is. Relaxing. Perfect. ]
