The house smelled faintly of vanilla and fresh linen.
Luffy's sharp ears immediately caught the sound of running water from the bathroom. His smirk deepened, his gaze darkening with primal intent.
"Still showering, huh?" He muttered, his voice laced with mischief. "Perfect timing."
Instead of announcing his presence, Luffy casually pulled out fresh fruits, meat, and bread from his inventory, arranging them lazily on the small wooden table. His instincts screamed for him to storm into the bathroom, pin the beautiful woman against the wall, and ravish her senseless — but no.
He'd let her come to him. Make her crave him.
Leaning back in the wooden chair, Luffy propped his hands behind his head, his devilish grin widening.
After ten minutes, the door finally opened.
Creak!
A thick cloud of steam rolled out, and the very next second, Luffy's entire body tensed like a taut bowstring.
Nico Robin stepped out of the steamy bathroom, the thick mist curling around her like a jealous lover reluctant to let her go. Her long, damp raven-black hair cascaded in silky strands, clinging to her flushed, dewy skin like dark ribbons of temptation.
Droplets of water traced slow, sensual paths down her smooth shoulders, past her delicate collarbones, and over the luscious swell of her heaving chest, before disappearing beneath the plush white towel barely holding onto her sinful curves.
The flimsy fabric struggled against gravity, hugging the tantalizing shape of her full, perky breasts, the dampness making it dangerously translucent. With every slight movement, the towel shifted precariously, teasing a glimpse of the creamy skin beneath.
Her slender waist dipped into perfectly sculpted hips, the towel riding scandalously high on her toned, creamy thighs, leaving little to the imagination.
Her sultry, half-lidded gaze carried a quiet, knowing heat, the faintest smirk playing on her lips as if she was fully aware of the effect she had.
Luffy's mouth went dry.
"Fuck…" He cursed under his breath.
Robin's sultry gaze instantly locked onto his. Her delicate pink lips curled into a dangerously seductive smile, her blue eyes brimming with unmistakable affection and playful mischief.
"Oh my…" Robin cooed, her voice dripping with amusement. "And here I thought I was imagining things… but it seems my dangerous little Marine really did come for me."
Luffy's sharp gaze roamed down her body shamelessly. His throat bobbed when he saw how low the towel hung on her curves, dangerously close to falling off.
"I'd ask you the same thing…" Luffy chuckled darkly, his voice rough. "But it seems you've gotten way too comfortable living like this."
Robin leaned against the doorframe, intentionally arching her hips. Her entire body language oozed sultry dominance as if daring Luffy to break first.
"And what's wrong with that, Captain?" Robin purred, her voice laced with sinful desire. "Unless… you're upset someone else might see me like this?"
Luffy's pupils shrank. His jaw clenched hard.
"Don't even joke about that." His voice dropped into a dangerous growl. "If anyone — and I mean anyone — ever sees you like this… I'll gouge their eyes out."
Robin's entire body shivered deliciously at his possessiveness. Her smirk deepened. "Mmm… possessive men do have their charm."
"Tch…" Luffy chuckled and clenched his fist. "Don't test me, Robin."
Robin giggled darkly and sauntered forward, deliberately swaying her hips. Her towel shifted slightly, teasing him with an eyeful of her bare inner thighs.
When she finally reached him, she straddled his lap without hesitation.
Luffy's entire body went rigid. His hands automatically latched onto her bare waist, his fingers sinking into her soft, warm flesh.
The towel barely shielded her curves — and Robin knew exactly what she was doing.
"Robin…" Luffy's voice came out low, dangerous.
"Oh?" Robin leaned down, brushing her lips just inches from his. Her breath danced over his mouth, taunting him. "What's the matter, Rear Admiral? Can't handle a little contact?"
She deliberately grinded her hips against his.
Luffy snapped.
Smack~!
"AHH~!!" Robin let out a deliciously loud gasp as his hand connected sharply with her bare thigh. Her body jerked against his.
"Keep playing with me, woman," Luffy growled, his fingers bruising her hips. "I'll rip that damn towel off and bend you over the table."
Robin's heart hammered wildly. She was breathless, flushed, and utterly shameless. "Mmm… you say that like it's a bad thing."
"Don't test me, Robin."
Robin laughed, licking her bottom lip. "I'm not testing you, Luffy." Her voice turned dark and seductive. "I'm begging you to lose control."
Smack~! Smack~!
"Aaah~!!" Robin's body arched again as two consecutive swats landed on her plush rear. The towel nearly fell off, and Luffy barely stopped himself from ripping it off completely.
"Damn you, woman…" Luffy's jaw clenched. "I swear I'm two seconds away from wrecking you."
Robin giggled, still grinding against him. "Mmm… that's exactly what I want, Captain."
Another hard smack.
Robin's shameless moan filled the room. "Ahh~! Luffy…!"
"Enough!" Luffy grabbed her by the waist and practically shoved her off his lap, much to her disappointment. His breathing was heavy, his pants painfully tight. "Put some clothes on before I do something we both can't come back from."
Robin pouted dramatically, her breasts barely concealed by the towel. "Spoilsport."
Luffy wiped his face. "You say that like you weren't about to beg me to ruin you."
Robin giggled darkly. "Maybe I still will."
Minutes later, Robin finally wore a casual black tank top and sinful short shorts — clearly still teasing him. She sat on the edge of the chair, her long legs crossed, her smirk ever-present.
"So… what brings my favorite Rear Admiral all the way here?" Robin teased. "Or was it just for the spanking?"
Luffy's grin returned. "That was just a bonus."
Robin laughed sweetly, utterly charmed. "Then why?"
Luffy exhaled deeply. "I'm heading back to Marineford in two days."
His voice softened. "But before that… I wanted to spend time with you."
Robin's smirk faltered slightly. "Oh…"
"But more than that…" Luffy continued. "I want you to keep teaching me how to read Poneglyphs."
Robin raised an eyebrow. "…What?"
"Yeah." Luffy grinned. "I had already told you, didn't I? I plan to find the One Piece… and if I'm gonna do that, I need to understand the Poneglyphs too. I don't want you carrying that burden alone."
Robin's heart skipped.
"…Luffy…" Her voice cracked slightly.
"And if the Government brands me a criminal for it…" Luffy's grin sharpened. "Then so be it. Let them try and stop me. I'll crush anyone who gets in our way."
Robin felt something snap inside her. She abruptly stood and strode toward him. Before he could react, she grabbed his face and crashed her lips onto his in a searing, possessive kiss.
"Mmmph—!!"
Robin devoured his mouth hungrily, her nails digging into his jawline.
Luffy instantly responded, grabbing her waist and slamming her against the wall, deepening the kiss.
When they finally broke apart, Robin's lips were swollen, her eyes swimming with raw affection and lust.
"You reckless… infuriating man…" She panted. "…I love you."
Luffy froze. "…What?"
Robin's smirk returned. "You heard me."
She cupped his jaw. "And I'll gladly teach you Poneglyphs… just promise me one thing."
"Name it."
"…Don't die." Robin's voice cracked. "I can't lose you."
Luffy's expression softened. He leaned in, gently kissing her forehead. "Never. I'll protect you. Always."
Robin smiled through teary eyes. "Then it's settled. We'll find the One Piece… together."
And deep in her soul, Robin knew — she wasn't just following Luffy anymore.
She was his… in every possible way.
"Now…" Robin smirked. "Shall we finish what you started?"
Luffy grinned darkly. "…Woman, you really don't know when to quit."
Smack~!
Robin moaned shamelessly. "…I never do."
