"So what are you two going to do when the homestead gets sold?" Alice asked us as Rosie and I were actually outside in the garden today. It took quite a while for me to get downstairs and outside, but Rosie helped me the whole way.
"I dunno, it's going to be a lot of money that we'll get, though." Rosie said as she picked a flower from nearby. I smiled over at her and watched a smile form on her lips.
"Are you two going to go back to the sea?"
That question actually made me stop and think, Rosie doing the same. I know myself that I would like to go back out there with my ship and crew. But on the flip side, I know Rosie most likely doesn't want any possible harm coming my way. Rosie glanced back at me,
"I don't know, we haven't talked about that yet." She answered Alice's question, basically telling me that we were going to have this conversation soon. Alice seemed to notice the tension quickly rising after asking the question,
"Alright, I'm gonna go find Joan." She said hastily before getting up from her side of the bench and walking towards the home. I sighed as now it was just Rosie and I out here in the garden. Rosie brushed off the dirt from her hands and made her way over to the bench I was sitting on, deciding to sit next to me. We were both silent for a while, both of us just deep in thought. We didn't know how to express our thoughts verbally right now, so we just tried to piece them together in our heads.
"Do you want to go first?" I asked her, looking to my right to see her already looking back at me. She shook her head,
"You can go first."
"But I don't want to." I told her.
"Yeah well neither do I and I get the final say, so you're going first." I rolled my eyes at her reasoning, but didn't bother arguing because stalling this conversation wouldn't do either of us any good.
"Fine," I started, "I would like to go back to the sea eventually; it's where I feel most at home." I said simply. And as expected, Rosie immediately countered,
"And I would like to stay on land and have you by my side. I want to live happily with you somewhere where no one will judge us or threaten us. I want to love you unconditionally to the best of my abilities."
"I understand that, but I've never settled down and like had a 'normal' life. The thought of staying in one place that long is scary to me." I admitted to her quietly. I felt a hand get placed overtop of mine,
"It's not scary, but does that mean you don't want to settle down with me?" Rosie asked me, her voice becoming smaller as I know she only wants to hear one answer to her question.
"I do want to settle down with you!" I answered quickly, "but it scares me. I don't mean like you scare me, even though sometimes you do, but that's not the point. I mean like living peacefully and without worry. I've never experienced that and I don't know if it's right for me. I love to travel and fight, that's why I love being a scavenger. I also love leading people."
Rosie nodded her head at my words, but stayed silent. I can see the way her eyes are jumping around from thing to thing that she's thinking about what to say. There's uncertainty clouding her eyes and I would like to try and get rid of that. I squeezed her hand gently,
"One thing I'm certain about is I want you." A blush creeped up on her cheeks and she just scoffed at me. I chuckled a little and she rolled her eyes,
"Anyway," she sighed out, "how about we make a compromise?" I furrowed my eyebrows at the proposal,
"What do you mean?"
"I mean since you want to still obviously be a caption and I want to settle down, we compromise. For 9 out of the 12 months of a year, you can be home with me and then the other 3, you can be a captain." I pondered the idea and liked the structure of it. But I don't know how much 3 months would get me, I might need 4. But I don't want to leave Rosie that long anyway. She picked up on my inner turmoil and spoke up,
"The months don't have to be back to back, you can leave for a month, stay for three, leave for a month, stuff like that. There's no way I would even let you leave me for three straight months anyway." A small smile tugged at my lips hearing her say that.
"Make it 4 and you have a deal, Rosé." I said in a more assertive manner. She decided to go along with it,
"3.5, the best I'll do because knowing the waters, that can end up being 4 months. And I need to cut you off somewhere." She said back in the same tone as me. I held my free hand to her,
"You have yourself a deal Miss Rosé, you got me for 8.5 months of the year glued to your side."
"Perfect."
~~~~~
"So if you had to rate your physical health on a scale from 1-10, where are you right now?" Joan asked me after I helped wash dishes with her. It's been about two weeks since everything went down and my body has slowly been healing thanks to the multiple doctors that have helped me out. I do now have multiple scars forming all around my body, but Rosie said they make me look even hotter. She especially likes the one that's by my left eye.
"I'd say probably 6/10." I told Joan as we sat down across from each other at the dinner table. She nodded her head at the information,
"Okay, that isn't bad, at least you're feeling a little better than halfway. Is there anything I can do to help you feel better?" She asked me while giving me her full attention.
"Just keep cooking the delicious food and we're all good." I told her with a smile. She chuckled at me and shook her head in amusement.
"I can do that for you."
"Y/n?!" I heard Lisa shout from another room.
"In here!" Footsteps approached the room and Lisa came in with a smile. I gave her one back and she spoke up,
"You have a few visitors!" She said excitedly. I furrowed my eyebrows as I didn't know who could visit me here. Joan told me to go with Lisa and I slowly got up from my seat and walked over to Lisa. She linked our arms together and brought me over to one of the many living rooms. I heard chattering between a few people, but I couldn't make out any of the voices yet. But once we rounded the corner, a wide grin broke out on my face.
"Eric! Minho!" I said cheerfully as they looked over to me with smiles of their own. They were talking to Rosie before, but are now ignoring her for me.
"Hey y/n!" Minho said as he got up from his chair and made his way over to me. He gave me a gentle hug and it's funny because a big man like him doesn't usually show a gentle side. I hugged him back and then Eric yanked him away, pulling me into a hug.
"If it isn't my favorite recruit!" He said to me when he pulled back, scanning over my face. He pointed out my scar, "that's going to bring in all the ladies."
"Oi, I'm the one dating her, Eric."
Silence and shock was now all Eric and Minho could do. They then looked between the two of us, confusion written all over their faces.
"Wha– you two?" Minho practically whispered. I nodded my head confidently and Rosie got up to stand next to me. She reached for my hand and intertwined our fingers together. I squeezed her hand three times before Eric spoke up,
"You've got to be bloody kidding me?! The two enemies have become lovers?!" He basically screamed. I laughed at him,
"Yes Eric. Trust me, we weren't expecting it either."
"Wait, so that's why you came here to save Rosé?" Minho added. Rosie nodded her head,
"Yup, I would've gotten to the part of the story where we started to like each other, but y/n entered and you two left me," Rosie said rolling her eyes at the two older men, "and I'm not too happy you said she's your favorite recruit when I'm literally in the room."
"Hey, you were a handful in your teen years. Always had an attitude and hated everyone, including the captains." Eric pointed out. Rosie glared at him, though she wasn't really angry,
"I can show you some of that attitude now?"
"Rosie, shut up." I told her as she just snapped her head over to me, looking at me smiling at her. She scoffed at me,
"Whatever."
"Anyway, you two fell in love on the island you got stranded on?" Minho guessed. Rosie nodded her head,
"That we did. Then Jisoo showed up with my parents and I was taken back here. Y/n kept trying to hunt me down and she was able to get here with the others. She was tortured and beaten quite a lot, but then Irene came in and saved the day basically."
"I knew that shortie was good." Eric said with a proud smile.
"Oi, that's my girl you're talking about!" Lisa said.
"I know, and you also know she's short."
"Fair point."
"So how did you two know that we were here?" I asked the pair, wanting to change the subject because we are all just going to go down the rabbit hole of random conversation.
"Well, apparently Taemin saw Jisoo, Lisa, and Jennie all set sail one day and heard a few people talking about going to an island to get you two back. He then sailed back over to our ports and told us, so we set sail for here and I guess arrived a little late." Minho explained to us.
"It definitely would've been nice if you showed up on time." Lisa said while giving them a side eye.
"Manoban, shut up. You know the waters around the seas are unpredictable. And if we did show up on time, we probably would've gotten lost anyway." Eric said, making me laugh a bit because they definitely would get lost. Their sense of direction on land is a lot worse than on water for some reason.
"Alrighty, let's catch up over a little friendly archery competition because I know I can wipe the floor with you guys." Eric said abruptly. I squinted my eyes at him and I know he just wants to show off his apparently better aim. Lisa was all over the idea and agreed right away. Rosie was down to do it and I decided against it because I don't want to mess up my shoulder or something.
We all were now outside and everyone came outside to see the friendly competition. Jennie decided to sit it out with me because she's truly bad at archery. Irene, Felix, and even Alice all joined the others and got a bow. Joan is making us some food on an outside fire and I've asked her if she needed help, but she kept telling me just to enjoy everyone becoming competitive.
"My money is on Irene!" Jennie shouted to everyone. They looked over at us and some annoyed shouting came back our way.
"What about you y/n?" Felix yelled, wanting to know where I stood. I smirked,
"I'm with Jennie."
"Boo!" Rosie said, giving me a thumbs down. I rolled my eyes at her as she then accidentally dropped a few arrows of hers on the ground. Jennie laughed at her now embarrassed captain as she quickly picked them up. Eric is going first because he was the one that brought up the idea. They drew a line in the dirt and Eric pulled the string back, closing one eye and aiming his arrow to the target about 50 meters away.
He let it fly and he actually did pretty damn good. He smirked at us and then started trash talking everyone. That got the competitive fire to ignite on everyone. Jennie leaned over to me,
"I think Irene wants to put an arrow through Eric's eye." I looked over at Irene and snickered as she definitely did not appreciate Eric's talking.
"That would be interesting, but I would not want that to happen."
"I wouldn't be against it." Jennie said casually. She leaned back on the bench a bit more as Lisa decided to take her shot next. She aimed and fired, hitting the tree the target was on. Jennie doubled over in laughter and everyone was now making fun of poor Lisa. I laughed a bit, but when she looked over at me disappointed, I gave her a thumbs up and a smile. She soon gave me a smile back and then walked over to her girlfriend. Irene was talking with her and gave her a kiss to cheer her up. I looked over at Jennie and saw she was still in tears from Lisa.
"Man, Lisa is bad at archery!"
"She could chop both your legs off there, Kim." Jennie shut up and just awkwardly coughed as Minho was up next. He got close to the bullseye too and high-fived Eric as he walked back. Rosie was up next and being the flirt she is sometimes, sent me a wink and Jennie gagged from next to me. I pinched her arm and she flinched, swatting my hand away from her. Rosie then precisely aimed for the target and let the arrow fly.
And she missed the target completely, and the tree too.
I had to fight so much not to laugh my ass off at my girlfriend. The arrow was stuck in the ground a good 150 meters away from the tree. Jennie was now on the ground laughing, curled up into a ball practically dying. Rosie was frozen in place while everyone was laughing so hard.
Her shoulders deflated and she very depressingly walked away from everyone. I know she's a drama queen sometimes, but I know she also puts a lot of expectations on herself. She made her way inside and everyone just carried on with the competition. I got up and went to see Rosie, wherever she may be in the house right now.
I heard a sigh come from the far room and I walked over to it, my footsteps echoing throughout. I then entered the room and saw Rosie face down on one of the couches. I watched her for a little bit, but ultimately went over to her.
I went over to the back of the couch and leaned on it, looking over her. I then reached down and just gently traced random patterns on her clothed back. She didn't react to my touches, so that told me she knew I was here before she felt my finger tips.
"You don't have to be so hard on yourself, baby." I told her as I then snuck my hand underneath her shirt, creating goosebumps as I went along her skin. She turned her head sideways so I could see half of her face. She looked up at me and I saw her brown eyes were less energetic, which made me frown slightly.
"I know, but I wanted to do good. I couldn't even do that, I was pathetic. I didn't even hit the tree." She said, her voice laced with disappointment. I moved my hand out from under her shirt and brought it up to play with her hair softly.
"People always have expectations for themselves and when we don't reach them, we think we've failed at everything. But failing is the best teacher, Rosie; you know that. Stop being so hard on yourself. And before you say anything, I will also stop being hard on myself because it's something I need to work on too. We can work on it together."
She just looked up at me with her brown eyes and stared at me for a few seconds before a small smile started to creep up on her face. That's caused me to have a smile on my face and soon a small laugh escaped her lips,
"How do you seem to raise my mood so easily?"
"I think it's just because you love me." I told her with a sly grin. That got a good laugh out of her and she then sat up on the couch, turning around to face me. She was sitting on her knees, eyes level with mine as my hand was still loosely in her black hair. She pulled her bottom lip in between her teeth and looked adoringly into my eyes. I leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on her nose, causing her to scrunch it up.
"I love you, Roseanne." I told her in almost a whisper, not wanting to speak loudly as it could break the intimate moment.
Rosie reached her hand out and gently touched her favorite scar underneath my left eye. My skin warmed with her touch and she then placed her whole hand on my cheek. I subconsciously leaned into her hand and she brushed her thumb across my cheek bone.
"I love you too, y/n."
With that, she brought our lips together in a beautiful kiss. My heartbeat quickened and I got lost within the kiss. Just having the girl I love most near me already makes my body buzz with happiness, but being affectionate with her makes it that much better.
(a/n: two hands on the phone y'all)
Her lips encased mine gently and she swiped her tongue across my bottom lip asking for permission. I opened my mouth for her and when her tongue invaded it, I moaned softly into her mouth. Her tongue explored every part of my mouth and my hand that was in her hair soon traveled down to her waist, giving it a squeeze.
That caused her to fumble with the kiss a bit, which allowed me to take it over and dominate. My tongue brushed past hers and darted into her mouth. Her hands went up to the back of my neck and pulled me closer to her. She actually did it with a decent amount of force, causing me to almost fall forward and crush her on the couch; but I have a sneaking suspicion she wouldn't complain.
"Baby," I muttered against her swollen lips. She just eagerly kissed me back, wanting more. She didn't let up and just kept kissing me roughly, "wait." That got her to stop. She pulled back, breathing heavily as she asked me what's up.
"Are you sure you want to?" I asked her. She nodded her head,
"I am, unless you can't–"
"I can just pleasure you, my body still probably won't respond well to all the muscle tension." I told her. She just nodded her head and grabbed my hand, hopping over the back of the couch and dragged me upstairs to our room. I was slowing her down a bit as I still wasn't as agile as she was right now. But she took her time with me and soon she was sitting pretty on the bed, waiting for me.
I closed the oak door behind me and locked it, hoping that Lisa wouldn't decide to pick the lock again. I stood by the door, overlooking my lover on the bed.
"Pleasure yourself." I told her. She was caught off guard with what I had just said. Rosie furrowed her eyebrows,
"What?"
"Pleasure yourself." I repeated, making my way over in front of her. She just sat there, taking in my words once more. I helped her out and moved my hands down to the hem of her shirt, asking with my eyes if it was okay. She gave me a nod and I pulled up her shirt, revealing Rosie in a black corset.
My mouth watered at the sight; the black contrasting beautifully with her skin tone. I didn't even have to ask her to take her pants off as she did that on her own. I just watched her with curious and lustful eyes.
"Turn around." I told her, which she did right away. I smirked to myself as I could tell how eager she was for me. We haven't made love in quite a long time, so I do understand. I took a hold of her black hair and pushed it to one side, the back of her corset now on full display. I slowly started to undo it, making her whine in protest as it was too slow for her liking. I leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "you have to be patient for me."
She didn't say another word as I was now halfway down the corset. Seeing her back muscles flex every now and then was certainly a sight I will never get tired of. I teasingly dragged my pointer finger along her exposed spine, causing a shudder to rake through her body.
I finally got to the final part of the corset and then took it off of her. I threw it to the side and then leaned down to kiss on her bare skin. I started from up by her shoulders and went south, stopping right above her panties. She was growing frustrated and turned around abruptly. I stood back,
"Can you please pleasure me already?" She asked me impatiently.
"Baby, what did I already say? I got you ready, now pleasure yourself." I had a small smirk on my lips and Rosie just stared back at me. After a few moments, she trailed her left hand down the front of her body and slipped it into her panties. A sigh escaped her lips as I just watched her, waiting to see what she would do.
"Y/n," she moaned out lightly as she touched herself. I observed her and saw her eyes flutter close as she continued.
"Put two fingers in." I said to her; she didn't even think about it before doing it. A louder moan came out of her as she slowly pumped two fingers in and out of herself. I licked my lower slip slightly as the thin layer of sweat I loved so much on her started to make its appearance.
"Tell me when you're close." She just nodded her head in response and went faster. Her body started to react more to her own touch and the moans and whimpers falling from her mouth were gorgeous. Her right hand went up to her breast as she started to toy with her hardened nipple. Her breathing became more erratic and even I knew she was close. So when she said a few moments later she was close, I wasn't even surprised.
But once she told me, I got closer to her and reached out to grab her left arm, abruptly stopping her. Her eyes snapped open and a whine of disapproval fell from her swollen lips. I smiled down at her helpless state,
"My turn."
I didn't give her anytime to react as I slipped my hand in her panties and found her clit immediately. The loudest moan thus far came out of her and I smirked to myself, knowing I'm the only one who can and will ever make her react like this. Her hands flew to my shoulders and I bit the inside of my cheek as it kind of hurt. But I don't want to draw attention to it, so I willed myself to shut up.
I rubbed her clit expertly with my thumb and then moved my head down to her neck, starting to leave dark hickeys across her skin. I teased her drenched folds with my fingers and her legs subconsciously now loosely hooked around my lower body. I bit a little harder on her skin and then without warning, thrusted three fingers inside of her. She was soaking wet and her walls clamped down on my fingers. She always feels amazing, not tight or anything.
"Please, please," she begged me as I lowered her back into the bed, hoping to make her more comfortable. I started at a pretty decent pace, wanting to pleasure her as much as she wanted to be pleasured. My mouth moved down and pulled one of her nipples in between my teeth, tugging on it a little. That got a high pitched whine from her and I knew everyone probably knows what we're doing right now.
"That's it baby," I praised her as she started to tighten around my fingers. I knew it obviously wasn't going to take long as she was already on edge from before.
"Y/n!" She screamed as she reached her climax. Her body violently shook underneath me and her grip on my shoulders became tighter, making me hiss in pain a bit. I don't think Rosie noticed as she was still riding out her orgasm. Her heels were digging into my lower back and thankfully that didn't hurt because all the whip marks were up higher.
I captured her lips and started to make out with her sloppily, just waiting for her to gain some of her composure back. It took a little while, but soon she calmed down a bit, which made me happy. I pecked her lips and with her hooded eyes, watched as I lowered myself in between her legs. I took out my fingers from her and she let out a soft groan as I put them in my mouth. Our eyes were locked as I did that, making it that much hotter.
I then released my fingers and left a delicate kiss on her pelvic bone, which got her hips to jerk up a bit. I smirked up at her and the second she was about to say a smartass remark, I enveloped her clit between my lips. Her hands shot to my hair and had a death grip on the roots. I was finding immense pleasure with it, even though it was rather painful.
I sucked on her clit and bit down gently, creating a moan of satisfaction and surprise from Rosie. I licked her folds and a deep moan fell from her lips. I have to say, the lower register moans from her are by far my favorite. I darted my tongue inside of her and moaned at the taste of her, even though I did taste her already. Rosie was a mess of screams and moans from above me, but I'm not complaining. I mean other people will be complaining, but that's a future me problem.
"Right there! Ugh, right there!" Rosie moaned as I curled my tongue upwards, finding her g-spot. I kept the same pace I was going as she obviously enjoyed it and her moans were becoming louder and her grip was becoming tighter.
"I'm going to–" she couldn't even finish her sentence as her orgasm came crashing down. I lapped everything up and then lazily licked her folds to help her come down from the high.
(a/n: das it u horny mfs)
"Come here." She said tiredly. I obeyed her and crawled up the bed next to her. She smiled lazily at me through her tired eyes. I kissed her forehead and she snuggled close to me. Rosie moved my shirt up a little so she could sneak her hand underneath it and rest it on my skin. Her head was now resting in the crook of my neck and I held her naked body close to my clothed one. She knows that I won't take off my clothes if I don't really need to right now because air hitting my wounds and forming scars still hurts.
"I love you so much words can't describe it." Rosie whispered to me, pressing a kiss on my neck lovingly.
"I know exactly how you feel. Now go to sleep."
"M'kay."
