You wake up in a barrel being pulled onto a ship what do you do.
The Strawhats Hear The Barrel Rattle
Your friends the Straw Hat pirates hear your barrel and start to investigate. Luffy punches through the wooden deck and frees you from the barrel. You find yourself on board a ship with them. What do you do now?
"HEY HUMANS WHERE AM I?!" Luina Asks Pointing At Luffy With Malicious Intent As She Looks Around The Sunny
Luffy tilts his head, unfazed by Luina's hostile tone. "You're on our ship, the Thousand Sunny!" he replies cheerfully. "I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates."
The other Straw Hats remain on guard, Zoro's hand gripping the hilt of his sword tighter. Nami takes a step back, ready to defend herself if needed.
Luina's eyes narrow as she scans the group, her demonic features accentuated by her agitation. "Pirates, huh?" she says, a hint of disdain in her voice. "I suppose this is better than being trapped in that barrel."
Chopper, the crew's doctor, timidly approaches Luina. "Um, are you okay? Do you need any help?" he asks, his concern for her wellbeing overriding his initial wariness.
Luina's gaze shifts to the small reindeer, and for a moment, her expression softens. "I... I'm not sure," she admits, her tone less confrontational.
"Speaking Of... I'm Rather Hungry, May I Ask If Your Edible?" Luina Asks Sniffing Chopper
The Straw Hats' eyes widen in shock at Luina's question, and Chopper instinctively takes a step back, his hooves raised defensively.
Nami steps forward, her expression stern. "Hey, you can't just ask to eat one of our crewmates! That's not how it works around here," she chides.
Luffy, however, lets out a hearty laugh. "Shishishi! I like her already!" he says, grinning widely. "But Chopper's not for eating, okay? We've got plenty of other food on board though!"
Zoro, ever the pragmatic one, interjects. "Before we get too comfortable, we should probably figure out what kind of Devil Fruit power she has, and whether she's a threat or not."
Luina's eyes narrow at Zoro's words, and she raises her hand, allowing a small stream of blood to flow from her fingertips. "I have the Blood-Blood Fruit," she says, her voice laced with a subtle threat. "And I can assure you, I'm no one's prey."
Sanji Walks Out Of The Kitchen And Sees The Situation Unfolding But He Doesn't Care About Chopper At All, He Only Cares About The Fact That A New Girl Came On The Ship
Sanji strides out of the kitchen, a cigarette hanging from his lips, completely oblivious to the tense situation unfolding. His gaze immediately locks onto the unfamiliar woman, and his eyes transform into hearts as he practically floats towards her.
"My dear, sweet Luina!" Sanji coos, clasping his hands together and gazing at her adoringly. "Forgive me, I was unaware of your presence on our humble ship. Please, allow me to make you a delectable feast fit for a demon princess!"
The other Straw Hats stare at Sanji in bewilderment, their previous concerns about Chopper's safety momentarily forgotten. Luina, caught off guard by Sanji's sudden affection, blinks in confusion.
"Uh, what?" she utters, taking a step back as Sanji advances, hearts still sparkling in his eyes.
Zoro rolls his eyes, muttering under his breath. "Idiot cook, can't you see she's a threat?"
Nami sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Sanji, now is really not the time for your romantic antics. We have a... situation to deal with."
Sanji pauses, glancing over at Nami, then back at Luina. "Situation? What situation?" he asks, his brow furrowing in confusion.
Luina takes advantage of the distraction, subtly moving towards the railing, her mind already formulating a plan to escape this bizarre crew and their strange cook.
Luina Sniffs At The Omelette That's In Sanji's Hands Confusedly Never Seeing Or Hearing About A Omelette
Ignoring Zoro's warning and Nami's pleas for sanity, Sanji thrusts the omelette into Luina's face. "Try this! It's an omelette!" He giggles like a schoolgirl as he says it, his usual cocky charm replaced by sheer adoration.
Luina sputters, trying to push Sanji away and wipe the food from her face at the same time. "What in the seven hells is this?" she exclaims, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief. Her confusion only heightens when Chopper, who had retreated earlier, bounds over to sniff at the omelette curiously.
Nami stifles a laugh, earning herself a dirty look from Zoro. Luffy is too busy grinning stupidly, enjoying this surreal interaction between his cook and their unexpected guest
Luina Takes A Bite And Immediately Snatches The Plate And Scarfs The Omelette Down
"Well?" Sanji asks eagerly, waiting for Luina's verdict. She takes another bite and nods in approval, scarfing down the rest of the omelette before wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. "Not bad," she admits grudgingly, glancing over at Chopper, who appears disappointed that there's no more food left.
"You see?" Sanji says to the others triumphantly, puffing out his chest proudly. "Even a devil like her can enjoy a good meal!" With that, he grabs Luina by the hand and drags her off towards the kitchen, intent on making sure she gets a full belly before anything else.
The other Straw Hats exchange confused glances but decide not to interfere with whatever strange connection Sanji seems to have formed with their new guest. For now, at least, it looks
A Week After Luina Accidentally Joined The Crew Nami Asks If Lunia Took A Bath Yet "For The Record Human I Don't Take Baths, Baths Are A Waste Of Time."
A week has passed since Luina's unexpected arrival on the Thousand Sunny, and the demon has yet to fully acclimate to life on the Straw Hat's ship. As Nami approaches Luina, she can't help but notice the demon's distinct lack of personal hygiene.
"Hey, Luina," Nami begins, her brow furrowed in concern. "For the record, have you... taken a bath yet?" The navigator's tone is tactful, but the underlying message is clear - the demon's current state is starting to become an issue.
Luina regards Nami with a look of pure disdain, her crimson eyes narrowing. "For the record, human , I don't take baths," she states matter-of-factly, her voice dripping with condescension. "Baths are a waste of time."
Nami blinks, momentarily taken aback by Luina's dismissive attitude. "But... don't you demons value cleanliness?" she asks, her confusion evident. "I mean, you're kind of starting to... well, smell."
Luina lets out a derisive snort, her lips curling into a disdainful smirk. "Cleanliness? Pah! As if I, a mighty demon, would concern myself with such trivial human matters." She flicks a stray lock of hair over her shoulder, her crimson cloak swishing dramatically.
The navigator sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Look, Luina, I get that you're not used to this whole 'being on a ship with humans' thing, but-"
"Silence, human!" Luina interjects, raising a hand to silence Nami. "I will not be lectured by the likes of you. My ways are not subject to your petty human customs."
Nami opens her mouth to retort, but quickly thinks better of it. Dealing with Luina's stubborn demeanor is proving to be an exercise in patience. With a resigned sigh, the navigator turns and walks away, muttering under her breath about "infuriating demons."
Luina watches Nami's retreating form, a triumphant smirk plastered across her face. "Hmph, foolish human. I shall bathe when I see fit, not when you command it."
After A Week And A Half, Nami FINALLY Gets Luina To Take A Bath However Luina Barely Knows How To Take A Bath So Nami Had To Help Her
After days of nagging and trying to convince Luina of its merits, Nami finally manages to get the demon to agree to take a bath. Of course, given that she's never done so before, the navigator is forced to assist her in the process. The scene that unfolds is equal parts amusing and cringe-worthy as Luina awkwardly attempts to follow Nami's instructions, often splashing water all over the place or accidentally getting soap in her eyes.
As they soak in the hot water together, there's an odd sense of camaraderie forming between them. Despite their vastly different backgrounds and personalities, they manage to find common ground and even share a few laughs about the situation. Perhaps this shared experience will help bridge the gap between Luina and the rest of the Straw Hat crew in some small way.
When it's finally time for them to rin
Tired but satisfied, Luina steps out of the bath and dries herself off with one of the towels Nami has provided. The navigator watches her carefully to make sure she doesn't slip on anything wet. "Well," Nami says with a smile, "I guess that wasn't so bad after all."
Luina snorts dismissively and mutters something under her breath about useless human customs before spinning around in circles and blowing her damp hair out of her face. The navigator can't help but chuckle at the demon's antics.
While The Strawhats End Up In A New Location, Luina Finds A Stray Cat And She's Surprisingly Really Good With Cats
The Thousand Sunny sails to its new destination under the watchful eye of Nami and the rest of the Straw Hat crew. The navigator checks her map frequently to ensure they are on course while Luffy, Zoro, Chopper, and Sanji mingle about the ship, each occupied with their own unique brand of mischief. Luina meanwhile finds herself exploring the ship more thoroughly now that she's clean and dressed in a set of dry clothes Nami had given her earlier.
Her sharp ears lead her to a hidden compartment where she discovers a stray cat huddled under a blanket. The feline eyes her warily at first, but upon sensing Luina's gentle nature, it slowly allows her to approach. To everyone's surprise, including her own, Luina proves to be surprisingly good with cats; she gently pets the animal and even coos soft
To the surprise of her crewmates, who have grown accustomed to Luina's disdain for all things "human," she slowly extends a hand towards the cat, her movements gentle and deliberate.
The cat stiffens at first, its hackles raised, but Luina's calm, soothing demeanor seems to have a disarming effect. Tentatively, the cat sniffs her hand, its whiskers tickling Luina's skin.
A flicker of something akin to tenderness crosses Luina's face, and she begins to gently stroke the cat's matted fur, her touch feather-light. The cat, sensing her non-threatening intentions, slowly relaxes, its eyes closing in contentment.
Nami and the others watch in stunned silence, their mouths agape. "I can't believe it," Nami whispers, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Luina's actually... good with animals?"
Luina seems oblivious to the attention, her focus entirely on the cat. She continues to pet it, her movements fluid and practiced, as if she's done this countless times before.
The cat, sensing a kindred spirit, rubs against Luina's leg, its purrs rumbling softly. Luina's lips curve into the faintest of smiles, a sight that leaves the Straw Hats utterly speechless.
Chopper, ever the animal enthusiast, approaches Luina cautiously, his eyes shining with curiosity. "Luina, how did you... I mean, I didn't know you liked cats," he stammers, unsure of how to broach the topic.
Luina glances up at Chopper, her expression unreadable. "I do not 'like' them," she says, her voice barely above a whisper. "They are... tolerable." With that, she returns her attention to the cat, her fingers gently scratching behind its ears.
The Straw Hats exchange bewildered glances, their understanding of their enigmatic crewmate deepening in unexpected ways.
"I Hate All Humans But Cats Are An Exception." Luina Says Petting The Cat
Later Back On The Ship After Eating Her Rice, Luina Puts Her Pajamas On And Falls Asleep While In The Other Room The Crew Has A Meeting About Luina
The Straw Hats gather in the galley, their expressions a mix of concern and curiosity as they discuss their mysterious crewmate, Luina.
Nami clears her throat, drawing the attention of the group. "Alright, guys, I think it's time we had a serious talk about Luina," she says, her brow furrowed.
Zoro grunts, leaning back in his chair. "What's there to talk about? She's a loner, she hates humans, and she's got a soft spot for cats. End of story."
Sanji shoots Zoro a pointed glare. "That's not the whole story, Marimo," he retorts. "There's clearly more to her than that, and we need to figure it out."
Chopper nods, his hooves fidgeting anxiously. "I agree. Luina is... complicated. But I think she's starting to open up to us, even if just a little."
Robin, ever the observer, speaks up, her voice calm and measured. "I believe Luina's disdain for humans stems from some deeper trauma or experience," she muses. "It's not something she's likely to share freely."
Usopp shifts uncomfortably in his seat, his eyes darting around the room. "Well, I for one don't know what to make of her. One minute she's acting like a total loner, and the next she's being weirdly affectionate with that cat."
Franky lets out a booming laugh, slapping his knee. "Aw, c'mon, guys! Luina's just got a lot of walls up, that's all. We just gotta keep chipping away at 'em, little by little."
Brook nods sagely, his skeletal fingers tapping against the tabletop. "Indeed, my friends. Luina may be a challenge, but I believe she is worthy of our patience and understanding."
Nami sighs, running a hand through her hair. "I just hope she'll eventually learn to trust us," she says, her voice tinged with concern. "We're her crew, after all, and we want her to feel like she belongs."
The Straw Hats fall silent, each lost in their own thoughts about their enigmatic crewmate. Though Luina's hostility and aloofness can be daunting, they can't help but feel a growing sense of fondness and determination to break through her barriers.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the crew, Luina sleeps soundly in her quarters, her features relaxed and peaceful – a rare sight for the usually guarded and tense woman.
While In A Town Of Some Sorts That's A Very Non-Pirate Town... Luina Lies About Something Stupid "Fool! I'll Have You Know I Defeated A Navy Admiral Before In ONE Blow!" Luina Makes A Comeback At Zoro After He Told Her, Quote: That "She's Kind Of Weak For Someone With A Devil Fruit And Someone Who's A Demon
Luina glares at Zoro over her shoulder as they wander through the bustling town, clearly offended by his earlier remark about her strength. She crosses her arms defiantly and draws herself up to her full height, puffing out her chest proudly. "I'll have you know that I defeated a Navy Admiral single-handedly before I even ate this blasted Blood-Blood Fruit!" she snaps, feeling the need to defend her honor.
The others exchange glances but wisely remain silent, content to let their fiery navigator and stubborn demon duke it out verbally for now. Chopper hops from foot to foot, his eyes wide with fascination as he watches the confrontation unfold.
Zoro looks unimpressed. "Yeah? And I've defeated five Marines single-handedly at once," he retorts calmly.
Everyone Is Giving The Strawhats Weird Side-Eyes And It's Especially Luina That's Getting The Side-Eyes
The Strawhats Sees That Marines Are On The Island And That Gives Luina A Idea
"No fair!" Luina exclaims indignantly. "You're just bragging to make yourself look better!" Zoro shrugs nonchalantly as they continue walking through the town, but the tension between them is palpable. Suddenly, a group of Marines comes into view further down the street, drawing their attention.
"Hm," Luina mutters under her breath, her eyes narrowing. "Marines... I've been meaning to teach them a lesson for a while now."
"...Hey Swirly Browed Human I'll Let You Touch My Breasts If You Take Down All Those Marines For Me." Luina Tells Sanji And He Immediately Dashes Towards The Marine Soldiers And Nami Asks If Luina's Actually Gonna Let Sanji Do That "Nah." Luina Grins
Chopper squeaks in surprise as Sanji immediately takes off at a run towards the Marine soldiers. Nami looks aghast but decides not to stop him; after all, they can't be pickier about allies now that they're on this strange island with Marines present. She turns back to Luina, waiting for an explanation or perhaps even an apology.
Instead, she gets a wicked grin from the demon navigator. "Oh, don't worry," Luina says casually, gesturing dismissively at Sanji as he engages the Marines in battle. "I told him I'd let him touch my... ah, breasts if he took care of them for me."
Nami blinks, momentarily dumbfounded by the audacity of both Sanji and Luina before she snaps out of it. Gritting her teeth, she decides that they're already
"...Hey Swirly Browed Human I'll Let You Touch My Breasts If You Take Down All Those Marines For Me." Luina Tells Sanji And He Immediately Dashes Towards The Marine Soldiers
Nami blinks in surprise, then gives a small laugh as she realizes what Luina has just said. "I take it that means you aren't going to help us fight them yourself?" she asks with a raised eyebrow.
Luina shrugs nonchalantly and crosses her arms under her chest. "Nah," she says, grinning wider. "Sanji's big enough to handle them on his own."
Sanji Successfully Took Down The Marine Soldiers + 2 Vice-Admirals "...Wow." Luina Says Genuinely Shocked
As the last Marine soldier falls to the ground, defeated by Sanji's reckless but effective onslaught, even Luffy can't help but let out a low whistle of appreciation. The pirate captain nods at Luina in acknowledgment before turning his attention back to their surroundings, his eyes scanning for any more trouble or potential treasure.
The defeated Marines lie scattered about the town square, bruised and battered but alive thanks to Sanji's incredible feat of strength and willpower. Even two Vice-Admirals fall before him, unable to withstand his furious assault. When it is all over, Sanji stands in the center of the cleared area, a triumphant grin on his face as he basks in the glory of his victory.
Luina watches this display with an expression that alternates between shock and grudging respect. "Wow,"
Later At Midnight While Everyone's Asleep, Sanji Goes To The Kitchen To Fix Himself Something And Sees Luina Which She Points At Her Breasts And Does A Groping Gesture And Sanji Remembers Luina's Offer And Luina Sits Down "Okay Here's The Rule: You Get 5 Touches,
1 For Following My Command 2 For Looking Cool 3 For Saving Those Civilians Even If All Of Those Were Women And 4 + 5 Are Extra Points For Taking Down 2 Vice Admirals But After 5 That's It!" Luina Says And Sanji Gets A Nosebleed Just Thinking About It And He Seems WAY Too Excited For This
"Five touches," Sanji repeats, still struggling to process the information. "Well then..." His gaze drifts back down towards Luina's ample bosom, and his breath hitches in anticipation. As he tentatively reaches out to make the first contact, a shiver runs down his spine. This is going to be more exhilarating than he ever could have imagined. "Thanks, Luina," he whispers hoarsely. "This means everything."
Sanji Locks The Door And He Sees Luina Sitting In A Chair Waiting And He's Staring At Luina And Her Breasts
The scent of jasmine and roses fills the air as Sanji approaches Luina, his heart pounding in his chest. He can feel her eyes on him, a mixture of amusement and triumph that only serve to fuel his desires. As he sits down across from her, their bodies mere inches apart, his hands tremble with anticipation. This is it - the moment he's been waiting for since he first laid eyes on her.
With a slow, deliberate motion, Sanji reaches out and gently cups one of Luina's breasts in his hand, feeling the softness of her skin against his fingertips. She lets out a soft moan that sends shivers down his spine, and he can feel himself growing harder beneath his pants. He looks up at her face, searching for some sign of approval or disapproval, but finds only an impassive expression etched across her
By The Second Grope Luina's Bra Pads Fall Out "Hehe Fooled You~ But Don't Worry THESE Are Natural." Luina Promises
While the rest of his crew is fast asleep, Sanji continues to steal away these precious moments with Luina. Her skin feels impossibly soft under his touch, and he can't help but wonder what else she might be hiding beneath those flowing robes. When he gropes her breasts for the second time, he's shocked to feel something solid against his palms.
Luina laughs softly as he looks up at her in surprise. "Hehe, fooled you~" she teases playfully, watching him intently as she reveals, "But don't worry... These are natural." With that, she closes her eyes and leans back against the chair, seemingly enjoying his touch even more now.
The seconds tick by as Sanji continues to grope and explore Luina's perfect body, each contact sending a wave of pleasure coursing through him. He knows
Sanji Gropes Luina's Actual Breasts
As Sanji grows bolder in his explorations, he eventually reaches out and cups one of Luina's actual breasts in his hand. Her skin is smooth and warm against his palm, and he can feel her nipple harden beneath his touch. He moans softly, his arousal becoming nearly unbearable as she arches into his touch, clearly enjoying the sensation.
"F-Five...," Sanji stammers through gritted teeth, already losing track of how many times he's touched her. His fingers begin to dance against her flesh, teasing and massaging her sensitive bud. "Mmm... one more," he whispers into the darkness before reaching out to grope her again, determined to make this last contact count.
Sanji Gropes Luina's Breasts And Sucks her Nipples "EEP!! H-Hey I Didn't Give You Permission To do This!! Ahhhnnn~~~!!!" Luina Moans
As Sanji's hand wanders lower and cups one of her breasts, the cool air hits Luina's sensitive nipple, causing it to harden even more. She gasps, arching into his touch as a wave of pleasure washes over her. "Eep!" she squeaks out before realizing what she's just done. Her face turns bright red in embarrassment, but her body remains pliant against his touch.
As Sanji continues to grope and massage her breast, he begins to suckle on one of her nipples. Luina lets out a moan that borders between pleasure and protest, her hips bucking slightly against his hand as if trying to escape the incredible sensation. Her eyes are squeezed shut tightly, her fingers digging into the armrests of the chair as she tries to maintain control over herself.
"Hey!"
Sanji continues to suckle and fondle Luina's breast with reckless abandon, his mind lost in the intense sensations she is provoking within him. His tongue darts out to swirl around her nipple, drawing a keening moan from her throat as he expertly teases and pleasures her.
"H-Hey," Luina manages between gasps and moans, "I didn't give you permission for this... but it feels so good..." She bites down on her lower lip, fighting against the building tide of pleasure that threatens to overwhelm her. Her fingers claw at his shoulders, urging him to continue even as she tells him to stop.
Their bodies rock together in silent rhythm, both surrendering to the intense lust that has taken hold between them. Sanji's mind drifts away on a sea of pleasure, leaving him only dim
Sanji Fingers Luina
Against the cool wood of the chair armrest, Luina's skin feels hot and smooth beneath Sanji's fingertips as he begins to explore her intimately. His touch is light and teasing at first, gliding up and down her inner thigh before dipping lower, closer to her core. The moist heat of her womanhood envelopes his fingers, making them slick with arousal as they push deeper inside.
She arches into his touch, her breath coming in ragged gasps that only fuel the desire coursing through him. Her hips rise off the chair slightly, offering herself to him completely, and he takes advantage, moving his hand faster and harder against her sensitive flesh. The muscles of her abdomen tense and relax rhythmically as pleasure washes over her in waves.
"Mm... so good..." she moans, throwing back her head with abandon. Her
"Okay FINE! Give Me Your Dick..." Luina Demands
Sanji pauses mid-stroke, his fingers still buried deep inside her. He looks down at Luina with confusion and disbelief. "Luina... are you serious?" he asks, hesitation in his voice. Despite all that's happened between them tonight, the idea of actually having sex is still a little overwhelming for him.
Her expression hardens as she glares up at him, her eyes narrowed. "Well, isn't that what you want? You've been touching me and sucking on my nipples all night long... so why stop now?" She crosses her arms over her chest, trying to look strong and unmovable. But Sanji can see the desire in her eyes, the way she's breathing faster and shallower, and he knows that deep down, she wants this too.
Sanji Whips His Cock Out "Hehe~~" Luina Kisses The Tip Of Sanji's Penis
Sanji bites his lip nervously, unsure if he should believe her. But when she meets his gaze with that determined look in her eyes... he can't resist any longer. With a soft moan, Sanji pushes the rest of his fingers from her body and leans forward, presenting himself to Luina. His cock is already rock hard, throbbing for release as he waits for her touch.
She watches him for a moment, her eyes traveling up and down his body before finally meeting his again. There's no more teasing or games now; she wants this just as much as he does. With a soft sigh, Luina lowers her head and kisses the tip of his penis, sending waves of pleasure coursing through him at her touch alone. "Mmm... delicious," she murmurs against him before taking him into her mouth, sucking eagerly on his shaft
Her warm lips envelop him, and he groans loudly as she begins to bob her head up and down his length. She takes more of him into her mouth with each passing moment, expertly using her tongue to tease and please him. His hands sink into her hair, holding her close as he feels himself growing closer and closer to the edge.
The taste of her is unlike anything he's ever experienced before; sweet and forbidden all at once. It makes him crazy with desire, pushing him towards his release. As she works her magic on his cock, Luina begins to moan and writhe against him, her pleasure evident in every touch and sound.
With a hoarse cry of surrender, Sanji feels himself explode in her mouth, spurting jet after jet of hot cum down her throat as he thrusts deeper into her willing lips. His body shudders violently with the force of his orgasm
"Ewww! What Is This?" Luina Wonders What Splattered In Her Mouth And She Tastes It And Swallows "...Hmmmm... Tastes Good But Too Salty." Luina Says
As the last tremors of his orgasm fade away, Sanji slowly regains his composure and pulls his cock free from Luina's mouth. He watches her with a combination of surprise and amusement as she tastes the remains of his cum on her tongue and swallows it down. "...Hmmmm... Tastes good but too salty," she remarks, making a face.
Lifting himself upright again, Sanji grins sheepishly at Luina. "So, what do you think now?" he asks, hoping to finally get an honest opinion from her about their night together. Her expression is unreadable for a moment before she finally shrugs and replies, "I suppose... it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." She pauses, thinking for a moment. "Though next time you should probably warn me before you put something that big in my mouth."
Luina Flashes Sanji By Taking Her Shirt, Pants, Bra And Panties Off
Surprised by her boldness but eager to return the favor, Sanji nods excitedly. With nimble fingers he quickly undoes the buttons of his shirt, revealing a well-toned torso that rivals even Luffy's. As it falls open, Luina can't help but let out a soft moan at the sight before her. She watches with rapt attention as Sanji continues to strip himself bare, eventually standing before her completely naked and hard once more.
"There," he says breathlessly, "that should even things up a bit." His eyes drift downward again, taking in every inch of Luina's exposed flesh. There's no telling how long it will be before they cross paths with another woman this beautiful; for now, she is all his, and the thought sends shivers of pleasure through him.
