Chapter - 11

The orange haired navigator could immediately feel the pounding Luffy's heart was raging against his chest showing how he was just as nervous and anxious as her. Knowing this Nami began to lean back pulling Luffy along with her so he was laying on top of her not breaking their kiss for an instant. It was the first time she allowed a man to be on top of her, much less like this. She felt safer than she ever had like this. That no matter what happened Luffy would be there with her. 'By his side' After a few more minutes the two finally broke apart for air finally opening their eyes to view one another after their session.

Both of them were breathing heavily. Nami looked up to see the savior she cared so much about. She finally had him like this. The navigator couldn't recall how many times she wanted do this. Nor for how long but it was for some time. Nami couldn't have been happier at that moment.

The captain was on cloud nine. He finally had Nami, his navigator who everyone tried to steal away from him. She belonged to him now he knew that, but he was also hers without question. He couldn't recall any woman coming across his mind like his beautiful Navigator.

He could only stare in awe, mouth slightly agape as he witnessed Nami beneath him opening herself to him like she had no one else;he felt blessed.

Luffy was still trying to catch his breath. "Nami.. I need you.. by my side. I-" He was trying to find the right words, the way Nami was looking at him he felt he might lose it. "I care about you, so much."

Nami places her hands at the side of his face pulling him slightly closer. She bit her bottom lip making sure he caught that. "Show me captain." She challenged wanting him to understand his actions right now were louder than words.

Without hesitation the two crashed their lips together for the third time. This time was different from the rest. It had a certain fire behind it. Nami surprised him by placing her tongue at his lips before their tongues shifted the two tasting each other's mouths. The room began to grow warm.

Nami let out a half whimper moan causing Luffy to groan in response. They were both starting to lose themselves in this. If they didn't stop soon..

"Mm..Luffy.." Nami broke away catching his attention. "I care about you too, so much." The confession caught Luffy off guard and Nami used it to her advantage flipping Luffy onto his back.

Nami moaned as she settled on his exposed abdomen. She had to admit her guilty pleasure was seeing him without a shirt on. The way his body changed after every battle she swore he got more good looking each time, the scar included.

She could feel her exposed legs stir a reaction in Luffy. She was glad she wore her short blue shorts and her pink tank top one of her favorite combos. She could feel Luffy sit up causing her to catch herself resting her hands on his chest still straddling him. Luffy could feel his shorts grow tight, apparently Nami felt it too because she let out a slight squeak as she shifted on him.

Luffy wordlessly attacked the left side of her face. Softly trailing kisses along her cheek, to her ear, down along her neck roughly sucking on the skin for a split second before gently placing a kiss there. He could feel Nami's grip on his hair tighten and her breathing became more erratic as she let out soft moans.

"Luffy please.. don't stop." She begged opening her neck he continued his assault down to her collarbone leaving light kisses there as well causing an even louder moan from the orange haired woman. He didn't dare go any further down her chest no matter if he was tempted too, it wasn't worth his life and he would be in debt for the rest of his life. Nami could see the focus on her captains features as if he was wrestling with himself about what to do next.

Nami rolling her eyes while giggling taking Luffy's face between her hands. A quizzical look bestowing the captain's face. "Just this once." She devislishy smirked causing the captain to become even more lost. Rolling her eyes again she guided his face towards her chest.

The young woman let out a soft yelp at the contact as Luffy's face was in one of her most sensitive places. Almost as if on cue Luffy brought his hands up to meet his face only to hesitate for what she could only assume meant he was waiting for her permission. Slowly placing her hands to his she began moving them to rest atop her breasts. She could hear Luffy's muffled groans of pleasure as Nami felt him grind his hips towards her waist. She let out loud moan feeling his hardness against her. The fact she could make someone who was not necessarily all that interested in sex completely turned on felt like a win for her. The navigator let out another loud moan as Luffy began to give her light suckles and kisses on her chest.

"Only you Luffy..Only you can see me like this Luffy." Nami spoke while in bliss causing Luffy to grunt and roll his hips again causing his navigator to squirm in pleasure. She could feel herself getting slick down there. Knowing she they had to stop eventually she put a hand to Luffy's chest making him immediately withdraw.

Hoping he didn't do anything wrong, Luffy awaited till Nami spoke. She was still breathing heavy after the kissing assault. Slowly she got off him leaning back so she could sit upright on the couch. After recollecting himself Luffy followed suit. After a what felt like a few minutes of silence.

"Luffy.." Luffy turned towards the voice calling him. Before he could register. Nami was dragging him by his collar again so that they were facing each other on their sides.

Wordlessly the two shared another passionate kiss knowing they couldn't help it. Everything burning in their souls screamed it was right but pirate etiquette screamed it was wrong; if there was even such a thing.

"Luffy.. you care so much." Nami said putting on her best smile for her captain. Her arms snaked around his neck. "I'm glad y'know that I have you like this."

Luffy gave her forehead a quick kiss before before contently resting his chin on top of her head.

The rubber captain never felt more content than now. He loved his nakama, he loved her. He had to right?

"Whenever you need me, I'll be there. I promise you Nami." Luffy said solemnly causing Nami to smile as well.

"I'll hold you too that." Nami said with a soft sigh. "But I'm asking you to protect all of us Luffy." She said a little sternly.

"Of course Nami." Luffy answered responding to Nami's smile with one of his own. With that the two embraced wrapping each other up in one another's arms.

The two were content to just lay there enjoying the aftermath bliss of their intense passionate encounter.

Nami glanced up to look at the young captain. He looked currently deep in thought maybe wondering the same things as her. The first time she supposed the first time she admitted to herself she loved him was when they reunited at Sabaody after being separated for two years. Even if Luffy never developed feelings for her like this she would still love him dearly. Now that she had him like this though she shoved those thoughts from her head.

Feeling Nami grip him tighter broke Luffy from his trance. He was too enthralled by his navigators beauty. The rubber man had to admit she was far beautiful than

any other woman he'd seen. His adventures took him to some remarkable places with extraordinary looking women; Even the Pirate Empress herself Boa Hancock. He had to admit she was beautiful, and he would always be in her debt for saving his life at Marineford. But deep down he knew it would never be the same as this.

At the end of the day she was like all the other empress, princesses, and maidens he's met along the way. They all never truly knew who he was. A extrovert by nature but a loner at heart. For the most part he's only had people shuffling in and out of his life never quite wanting to stay. But she was almost always by his side never wanting leaving it. He was truly grateful.

Before long Luffy reluctantly broke the embrace standing up stretching, the atmosphere finally cooling down. Nami got up as well she stumbled slightly tripping on her heel falling forward, right on cue Luffy held her up from falling pulling the navigator back to her feet.

"See I told you I'll always be there Shishi!" Luffy chuckled never letting go of Nami.

"Yeah yeah dumb luck." She playfully nipped Luffy on the chin with his fist as if on command he released her.

The duo slowly realized that sometimes this type of thing can enhance a relationship between two close friends and make them even closer without changing much. It all depended on circumstance. Some friendships were deeper and more bonded, having been tested through the fire. He wondered about the rest of his crew. How he met them, his relationships with them and how each one was uniquely different. To understand his new feelings for the navigators, he had to find out exactly how it was different from the others;intimacy aside.
