Please review , feedback means a lot.
Chapter one.
His eye's scorched my body with a dark filled need. I could never quite pin the emotion that radiated off of him. Something masculine, animalistic almost, but something else. I only knew that it Just sent my nerves into overload, so that every little nerve ending burned with unknown sensations.
Every time time I felt his gaze,it was like the clock ticked slower, everything was prolonged. My body felt heavy, like I couldn't move as quick as I would like. Apart of me enjoyed the unabashed attention I received , while the other wanted to hide so that I may catch my breath and calm my beating heart.
But as I made my way through the guild, weaving in and out of the crowd of happy drunks. I could feel a sense of relief mingled with disappointment, as his eye's weren't on me. At least not yet.
My curiosity was just begging me to just look his way. To attach a face to the mystery gaze, that made my body ache in ways that should be illegal. But Doing just that would be my undoing, something I'm not sure my heart was ready to handle.
I shoved the nagging thoughts to the back of my mind willing them to stay there. Levy turned around on her stool and caught my eye. Her face bloomed into a welcoming smile as she waved me over. I slid into the stool beside her, placing me between her and the hulk of a man on my left.
" Hi levy~" I greeted her cheerfully, and started a small conversation. I'd gotten used to tampering down the jittery feeling I acquired when I came to the guild. At first it was hard, I couldn't sit still and I fumbled over everything I said. But each passing day became easier to handle, but the easier hiding it became the more intense the feeling I got when those eyes were on me. It made everything so much more challenging.
" So I was looking at this book Lu-chan, there was this part-Oh! Gajeel wait up!" Levys attention was quickly switched over as she caught sight of her friend. I watched as she quickly parted from my side to join him.
It didn't bother me too much, I can't blame her, I'd left many of times to go hang with Natsu...Natsu, my friend. Friend. Boy did that word make my heart ache. Friends, that's all we'll ever be. I finally just gave up, that boy was so dense, I could have a sign above my head in neon lights that said 'I Like You' and he still wouldn't get it.
Besides their were plenty of attractive men in the guild. Take Gray for example he was plenty attractive. Bickslow was pretty hot too. I zoned out as I started to list off the men in the guild. It was a better alternative then the nagging thoughts in the back of my mind.
Heat spread over my body in gentle waves,soothing almost but not enough to calm my nerves. I could feel how intense and primal the aura was that seemed to engulf me was. a firm grip found its way to my shoulder. Definitely male, and most certainly familiar .Still in a daze I moved my head to look at who had grabbed me. My eyes landed on rugged eye candy.
I allowed myself a moment to simply soak him in. To give into girlish pleasure of; in blunt terms, checking him out. He had Blonde locks and tawny skin pulled tight over sinuous muscle, a straight aristocratic nose, paired with high cheek bones and a chiseled strong jaw; dusted lightly with stubble. I could feel the shiver of electricity that seemed to travel down my back and back up again. With features Like that ,he's a perfect example of what ancient times have always found to be exceptional facial structure. He put Greek warriors to shame with his masculinity and looks. God I feel vain for him.
I watched as his lips moved ,almost hypnotic, forming words that spilled gracefully with ease. I watched the way a muscle seemed to tick in his jaw , and the slight twitch of his lips that seemed to follow just after. The beginning signs of a dazzling smile, that seemed to never fully form. Straight white teeth , with sharp canines, glinted in the dull light as His mouth continued to move , successfully keeping me in a trance.
I had to force my eyes away from his lips to travel up to his eyes. His intense baby blue eyes that seemed so deep, no matter how hard you'd try you'd just get sucked back into the storm the swirled in those endless pools of blue.
"Lucy...Lucy?" I heard my name, in the tune of a deep rumble. I felt the urge to respond but it was quickly drowned out with the need to hear my name again. To listen to the way it seemed to roll right off his tongue. Is it possible to feel so vexed? To be utterly and undeniably putty in someone's hands so quickly?
".hmm? " I could only manage a half hearted reply, not fully in control of my train of thoughts and actions. All that I could think of was that I wanted to indulge myself. Tiny sparks of electricity ran up the tips of my fingers after every stroke of heat that touched them.
" Ah don't do that." That deep smooth voice filled my senses, I could feel the center of my chest rumble with a silent purr.
I felt my chin gripped roughly , as my line of gaze was quickly ripped from the spot, my concentration broken. I blinked several times trying to gather and collect myself. Finally focusing in on the face in front of me, but this time seeing it as a whole, well enough to place a name on the face. I could feel instant embarrassment and a small tinge of fear flood my system as I realized that I'd been very openly ogling Laxus Dreyar, not exactly the most friendly of people to associate with.
I million and one excuses came to mind, but each and every one of them died on the spot. Because I could feel flesh beneath my finger tips, and not my own. The inexplicable heat from before was immediately attached to the skin I was touch now, finally filling in the blanks. I wanted to glance at my hand to see where exactly I was touching, and who. But I had a pretty good guess on who it was. But I couldn't glance away from his gaze. My face felt hot with embarrassment.
" Ah um I..." I managed to get a few sounds out , but every word I tried to say formed but no sound follows suit.
I couldn't help but notice how close I was to him, had I moved closer in my fun fest ogling? He was so close to me, or me to him, I didn't know. A part of me wanted to lean in and close the small gap between us. And on other wanted to hide in a hole and die of embarrassment.
But why not? Why not kiss him? I'd already embarrassed myself, why not at least get something out of it? Besides how many times will I get the chance to get this close to someone who is world's out of my league. I mean like seriously this dudes a beast, it's not like I can walk up to him and just start a friendly chat. He's really intimidating. And Maybe a kiss will help push me in the direction of closure between me and natsu's dead end love.
Before I could loose my nerve I closed the gap with fevered intent. I could feel his shock, as his hand that hand previously gripped my chin fell from my face. His lips were warm, and tasted slightly of whiskey and spice. I ran my tongue along the seam of his lips to steal another taste of his addictive mix. My fingers curled against his side, were my hand had apparently slide under and up the side of his shirt, the skin there was hot to the touch, the muscles beneath my hand seemed to flex at my touch. My lips moved against his slowly trying to elicit some sort of response, to coax him out of his stupor.
I pulled away before I could accomplish that task. The fear of humiliation too much to tamper down to continue. I jerked my hand from under his shirt and back against my own body. I stiffly moved to stand up. I could feel his gaze still on me , the commotion in the guild that had faded out earlier came rushing back to me, loud and festive. Nobody else seemed to have caught the event , just simply me and him knew what had taken place.
I cleared my throat. And mumbled I quite and rushed ' sorry ' under my breath as I was quick to leave the scene. A fire burned brightly in the pit of my stomach, the cause clearly from my earlier actions. Every person I passed was either dancing or drinking, the smell of alcohol no longer as appealing as the taste of it had been against his lips.
Involuntary shivers raced over my body, I was suffocating in this crowd, my body felt hot with need and all I wanted was fresh air and to cool off. I shoved through the crowd as politely as I possibly could.
Cool air swirled around my body as I finally stepped out side, but it did nothing to cool my body. Dragging in a deep breath I headed home , doing my best to ignore how complete turned on I was by today's events.
This was a mistake, it was gotta bit me in the ass later on . I just know it. An almost hysterical laughter bubbled up my throat despite my situation.
But God was it a great mistake. another purr started in my chest but no longer silent.
