He nearly exploded when she curled her hand around his neck, leaned on his arm. Even he could see that she wore too much makeup, too short a dress, had too eager a laugh.

But she was still a woman, and beautiful, therefore it was his duty to worship her.

He ignored the other's snort of disgust as she coaxed him into the back hallway of the tavern. He went gladly - his eyes aglow, all but tripping over his own toes.

Soon practiced hips were moving against him. His mind soared with transcendent delight, yet he still caught her hands when they tried to slip free his belt. Muting her protests, he kissed her face with all the reverence he had. Tenderly. Gently. Until she was shaking. Then he dropped to his knees before her, lifted her skirt and used his mouth on her until she was writhing and crying out above him.

After, he folded her into his arms as she dissolved into tears. Seemed not to hear how another man's name mingled with the wracking sobs. The money she slipped from his pocket was nothing; he swore to make it up in bargains at the market the next day.

Heavy footsteps approached; he let her escape out the back door with only a hint of regret. He lit a cigarette to mask the taste that lingered on his tongue, closed his eyes and waited.

Rough hands shoved him against the wall. "Took too long, shitty cook." The words were hissed against his neck. Hot. Angry. His cigarette fell to the floor as hips ground against his, urgent, taut, familiar.

The green head lifted. Gazes caught. Sparked. Lips brushed. Clung. He cleared his throat.

The old denial died, smothered, as the insatiable mouth took his, tongue stabbing deep.

*gurgle* Ghhhhhhhhhh~

Okay, I loved Sanji's interaction with the anonymous woman, how he did for her in more ways than one while she was clearly going through something. It feels like the part of Sanji and his thing about women that doesn't get explored in favor of his harmless fanboying--where under it all, there seems to be a genuine desire to make them happy. Or in this case, comforted as best he's able. I love altruistic Sanji T_T

And at the same time, GUH. ZORO. No doubt knowing what he'd been up to, of course he'd give Sanji what he needed, too--being desired himself, not as a substitute or a mark, and just.. buh. GAH. Nnnnnggggggg awesome T__T

I like the deeper level of comfort Sanji shows in this and the new spin on his normal 'worship'. Being so tender to a woman who rarely gets it... and yet even while he goes into fanboy mode the mood remains serious.
I liked the contrast against Zoro at the end too, though I'm not sure what to make of it. I see how he's trying to erase the woman from Sanji's mind, but I question whether it was from jealousy or caring.

Either way, interesting thoughtful piece. I liked the mood and even the ambiguity; it was intense and dark and questioning and... just enjoyable. ^_^

I'm also just generally glad to see you posting here, hope you can find your way back into the writing groove if that's what you're going for yes, I have been known to frequent your journal periodically...

This is perfect. This is utterly perfect. I love, love, love this idea of Sanji, and the interaction with Zoro was hot as hell. Wow.

I don't know what I liked more, Sanji doing his part to be what he thinks is a normal heterosexual man or Zoro's obvious anger over the whole situation because he wants the asshole and he knows the asshole wants him.

Probably the Zoro part. Zoro + possessive and jealous = yay!

Great, great job!

Mmm, intense. Sanji's treatment of the woman and Zoro's reaction were gold. It's almost like he took pleasure in pleasuring the woman, but Zoro is the one Sanji finds his own in. The hot possessiveness from the swordsman as he restakes his claim on the cook is simply perfect. <3

mmm...yummy...i keep wondering if zoro likes the taste of woman on sanji's tongue. i don't feel like his anger is real, since he obviously knew what was going on and he's one of the players in the game. but his passion seems serious enough.

Guh! I love this one. The imagery is so strong...I could almost see it. And the woman too...this is really awesome.
