God.

She wanted to worship his body. It still excited her after all these years, made her lose control and make grabby little hands whenever she thought of his arms, his chest, his buttocks. Anywhere, really. She even loved his ears, his nose, and she kissed these as if to prove her wandering mind's point. The rough skin under her palms twitched lightly as she caressed his chest and she smiled. He liked this although his face was burning hotly across his cheeks and he seemed embarrassed.

When he'd agreed to a full body massage he hadn't thought it all the way through.

"Hey," he muttered uneasily.

"Hey yourself," his lover answered back happily. Her fingers danced across his neck, stroking the rapidly beating pulse. A thick lock of purple hair drifted into her mouth and she snorted impatiently. "You said yes. You can't back out now." Grumbling, Zoro let his head drop back onto the towel he was laying on. He had to admit the sun was pleasant on his naked flesh. The big man wouldn't burn, he never did. No worries, then. He snorted and craned his neck up as she moved over him. Except...

"Keep that up and you'll have more on your hands," he warned.

"On or in?"

"Cat!" A silvery peal of laughter met his exasperated snort.

"Oh, just shush," she slapped at his hands when he tried to grab her wrists. "I want to pay you some attention. Is it really that bad?" Zoro rumbled something, thrusting out his lip and looking off to the side. His cheeks were flaming.

"They might see us," he grunted.

"You really think they wandered all the way out here? This is an isolated spot." Her fingers found one of his dark nipples and she rubbed it gently as she pondered. "Nah. I doubt it."

"Quit that."

"Why?" All innocence, her dark purple eyes shining. Zoro groaned and closed his eyes.

"Fine, have it your way."

"Oh goody. I adore winning." He snorted again and draped an arm across his eyes as she continued gently kneading his warm skin. The sun was really blinding today. Combined with the light massage and warmth he would have dropped off to sleep but her fingers didn't stop at his chest. She skipped the tented towel they'd draped across his lower section and pushed it slightly up to expose his upper thighs.

"Hnnff?"

"Zoro, you promised." Her palms grazed the skin of his thighs, paler than the rest of his body. It was also one of the regions that was mostly scarless and she found it alluring. Soft, white skin that was unlike anything else on Zoro. Elly smiled faintly when she heard his breathing roughen.

"Aa, but if that asshole cook wanders along ..."

"He won't see anything, relax." If he was nervous about being watched she had an idea. Lifting the towel she laid her cheek against his inner leg and smiled when he coughed.

"Oi! You said massage, what're you doing?" His big hand grasped the back of her head as she kissed the base of his swelling erection. "No, wait. Don't stop." He let out a deep breath and bucked his hips lightly. Ah, she rarely did this and he loved it. Her hands encircled his warm flesh, mouth brushing the head carefully. Her tongue flicked out and dabbed at the slit and he swallowed hard, removing his hand from her head and digging it roughly into the sand beside him.

"Ah, Kitten," he gasped, and blinking with surprise she gently kissed him, swirling her tongue under the cap and inhaling his musky scent. She was rewarded with a small bubble of ejaculatory fluid, proof positive that he was highly excited by her efforts. Elly sighed. She loved his body, all of it, and wanted to show him again just how much. She'd spent a good half hour tending to his hardened muscles and now there was one other thing to calm before she could claim she was truly finished soothing the big man.

On his side Zoro was gritting his teeth in an effort not to cry out. There was no doubt she knew what pleased him and was a good judge of his moods, too - he wanted it soft today. Damned if he'd ask for it, though. And here she was barely touching him, one hand lightly stroking his inner thigh while she kissed his aching member. Her palm was smooth and she was careful not to rub too much and irritate his skin, only speeding up when she'd licked the trembling penis from tip to base. Zoro bit his arm, hard. The lonely cry of the gulls above was the only sound save the crashing of the waves on the beach. He didn't feel the need to add his scream to the scenario just yet. Not even when she teased him with suckling the tip only; he held back the moan that threatened to burst free and kicked his leg out instead.

"Careful, love," she murmured from under the towel. Her low voice was partially muffled by the thick terry cloth.

"Didn't touch you," he gasped hoarsely.

"Yet." But she was quiet again and continued what she was doing -  tickling the pulse along the side of his firm erection while licking the head. Both of his hands were digging deep channels in the sand on either side of the towel they rested on. She was dragging this out for his pleasure; sucking good and hard and fast the way he liked and then kissing until he slipped gently back from the edge again and again. His orgasm would be tremendous; he felt it building up with something like amusement. He only hoped she didn't choke. That always made him feel guilty. Zoro's abdomen writhed, muscles dancing strongly under the slick, tanned skin.

"Soon," he gasped, more to warn her if she wanted to back away than anything. Her response was immediate. He felt a wet finger brush far below his balls and he sucked in a great rush of air, knowing what she was about to do. He came as soon as the finger thrust inside him, wanting to hold out but unable, violently orgasming as always when he was penetrated. She wriggled the finger and bent it, gently milking everything she could from him. The warmth and wetness he shot into devoured his seed and he was completely clean when she backed away. He gargled faintly, embarrassed anew at the way he'd gone off.

"S'okay," she panted. "I know."

"All right?" He grunted, pulling himself partially up as she wiped her mouth with the back of one hand. The pale woman's cheeks were stained pink from her exertions and he thought she looked really pretty. She nodded, smiling.

"I think I burned my lower back, though."

"I'll help."

"Really?" Lavender eyes twinkled slyly at him and he grinned as he pulled his trunks back to their usual position.

"I'd be an ass if I didn't."
