Otherside (English Version)

Epilogue

Marco...

His breath on my neck, his hand in my hair...

Everything is fine.

We have been together for two months now.

I haven't had a nightmare on that otherside.

He helped me forget what happened at the bar that day and completely unblocked me.

I am madly in love.

I took my life back.

My little brother went to sea recently, he got his first bounty last night.

I can't wait to see him again.

Oh...

I feel good.

"Ace?"

My lover's voice pulls me from my luminous thoughts.

"What's that beautiful smile?"

He kisses me.

I answer :

"I'm fine, that's all"

His eyes, deep and cold, look into mine.

His words, his heart, his body, his soul...

He gave me everything.

Suddenly he presses his lips to my neck.

I let a sigh escape the barrier of my lips, as I run my hands through his golden hair.

He lays me down on the bed and stands over my shaking body.

After speaking with him about what happened on the Grand Line and my sexual reluctance, Marco was very understanding and gentle.

His eyes overflow with desire.

A cascade of kisses falls heavily on my bare chest, cold.

The rain falls on my chapped lips.

Let me dream of a world without humanity, so that no one else will ever dance on your body...

This new otherside, I want to build it with you.

Gently, his hands caress my ribs, and a tsunami of sensations runs through my spine.

Unable to make a move, I abandon myself in this ocean of pleasures.

He takes off his shirt, slowly slides my pants, letting the sea crash on the white sand beach.

The veil extends over my whole being.

He unlocks his belt, puts it aside.

Then, suddenly, our union is complete, we form one body in a flood of sincere feelings.

Our hands tie together, the white sheet slips to the left side, and the knots in my stomach tighten.

The swell hits my pelvis with a force that I had never experienced before.

The compass is going crazy, I don't know where to turn.

I lost the north.

The ship suddenly disappears on the horizon, and I forget to keep watch on dry land.

The waves crash on my frozen skin.

His growls ring through my eardrums, like a siren song.  I moan.

Then, the boat hits a rock.

One.
Two.
Three time.

I surrender.

The spray splashes us, exhausted, we run aground, one against the other.

The wind of his words blows in my neck:

"I love you...

"I love you too, Marco"

The cotton in my mouth and this blanket I'm wrapped in have never been softer.

Yes, I want to build a new otherside with you...

Marco.
