The room was still dark and the night was making the bedroom colder than it used to be. Even her blue blanket couldn't make her feel any better.
"Just like her actual life" she thought. "I'm tired of living like this."
Throwing her clothes while undressing herself isn't really what a noble girl would do and she knew it. She knew it but didn't care. No one have the right to enter in her bedroom anyway so why would she bother?
01:14 a.m
She slowly put her pocket watch down on her nightstand again after she looked at it thinking about the one who offered it to her.
This person so precious to her heart who gave her a reason to be.
She still remember as if it was yesterday.
The emotion of insecurity she was wearing, the fact that she never dared to look at Lucy in her eyes or even simply talk to her... Everything made things between them so awkward this day.
While a ridiculous big party in the mansion were still on for her, Lucy didn't have anyone to talk with. Everything was just to let everyone know how rich they were. That was just like her dad. Every years...Years after years, this days was the most boring and bothersome one but not now anymore.
She was here. This woman standing proudly in her butler uniform with long scarlet hair around her back. Lucy was under her charms and she wouldn't be surprise if she was as well. Even if she was playing the cold girl, she wasn't hard to read with her blushing cheek when their eyes met.
They both knew in the way and that's why they hardly talked to each other.
But when the midnight came and the party was finally over, she was there. Waiting for Lucy not too far from her bedroom's door a bouquet of flowers in hands.
Lucy whispered her name "Erza ?" blushing a little and the tallest girl turned around with a little smile apparently happy to finally offering her the bouquet. Inside if it were a little box. Surely her birthday present.
"I was thinking that calling me by my name was forbidden" she smile. "But I like it when you call me this way instead of Scarlet."
Her French accent made Lucy blush even more.
"Happy birthday mademoiselle"
Trying to answer to Erza in a way or another, nothing wanted to come out of her throat. And worst than that, her hand was shaking with shyness but Erza quickly put her hands protectively on hers as soon as she saw it.
They knew what they felt a long time ago now but they were too afraid of saying their feeling for each other.
Of course, because of Lucy's father who wasn't the greatest man in the world and of their hierarchies. A relationship as a noble girl and a butler is a forbidden love but...
"Please forgive me. I can't lie to myself any longer." She squeezed Lucy's hand in hers slowly lean her face closer to her. "I know you feel the same. Please don't push me away... Je t'aime"
"Erza..." Lucy whispered with an happy sigh as she made her way downstairs.
The light was still on making the girl smiling more and when she looked inside founding the girl she was so dearly wanted to see, her heart melt.
Her scarlet hair was tied up in a ponytail with her eyes focus on her task. She was cleaning the kitchen with precision and determination as her dark jacket uniform was now tied around her waist showing her white shirt with the sleeves turned up. And to finish it all, her famous red tie who was making Lucy crazy.
"Here we go!"
As soon as Lucy made a step in the kitchen, the woman turned her face to look at her as if she was waiting for her.
Sweat was running down Erza's cheeks making Lucy's throat dry.
"Mademoiselle? You're still awake?"
"I could say the same thing to you. You should stop cleaning this place or you'll break the material" the blond answered leaning her back on the wall close to the door. "Also, please call me by my name. We're alone and it make me insecure when you're so distant with me"
"My apologies" Erza took her white gloves off throwing them on the table in the middle of the room then pour two glasses of tea giving one to Lucy. "You should drink something hot, it will calm you down"
Lucy took the drink but, instead of concentrate her attention on it, she grabbed the red hair woman's by her tie to pull her closer. Erza was so surprise that a small yelp escaped from her lips as she put her free arm against the wall close to Lucy's head but quickly closed her eyes knowing what the smaller girl want.
Lucy instead didn't close her eyes yet but look at the girl in front of her until their lips meet in a feverish kiss.
"Lu-Lucy..." Erza's voice shivered.
She stopped gently their kisses to take a better look at her taller girlfriend while her tie was still trapped in her hands as she took a sip of her hot tea with her other hand.
Erza, this woman who was always trying to act strong were feeling trapped just like her tie under Lucy's eyes. This woman who was Lucy had a power on her who could make her sit on her knee if she wanted.
"I was thinking of the way you asked me out before I came here" Lucy confessed.
Erza started to feel embarrassed.
"My-my apologies, it was my first kiss. If it was a bad memory to you, I-"
"Relax, it wasn't a bad memory. Far from that. It was the best memory I've ever had since I was born... And I'm not exaggerating."
At this thought, Lucy almost lower her face to look down but Erza surrounded the blond cheeks with her hands to make her look up at her again.
"Lucy, I heard about what your father going to do and I- I want you to know that whatever happen I'll still be by your side even if we will be only friend after that. I-"
Lucy release her red tie to cover Erza's mouth with her hand.
"Enough."
Erza blushed making Lucy chuckled.
"I came here to see you not to think about it so please"
"Y-yes." Erza lower her gaze too much embarrassed to look into her eyes.
She made few step back to the table behind her.
Lucy finished her drink in one few quick sip but Erza instead didn't even touched her own. She let it be on the table close to her gloves watching her lover carefully.
They didn't talked and they didn't needed to because the felt was here deep in their heart.
In two days, Lucy will meet her future husband and she won't have any other choice than to marry him. If she don't, who knows what her dad would do to her in this mansion by an "unfortunate accident"?
They both knew the danger of telling their love to anybody else but being far away from each other? Unable to show their feeling? Being marry to a man she'll probably hate to death?
Just thinking about it made could make Lucy cry from sadness. In her part, Erza wasn't easy to fool.
She already saw Lucy cried today. The day before as well but she couldn't do anything about it yet. She'll found a way without making both of their life in danger and then she'll tell her about it. Looking at Lucy like that was like a stab in her heart so as her partner it's her duty to don't show any emotion to that. To comfort her and found a way to make her smile.
But for now...
"...Do you want me to stay the night with you?" She guessed.
Lucy smiled at that idea. Slowly then the kitchen's door was closed and locked, the sound of her naked feet walking on the floor were the only sound who could be heard in the entire room. Lucy only stopped once she was face to face to the taller red head girl and kissed her girlfriend with all the love she felt for her. Erza didn't felt as surprised as she thought. Her arms quickly wraps around her waist asking for more as their breath became heavier minutes after minutes.
When they pulled away to get some breaths, Lucy took advantage of her lover's weakness at this moment to pushed her tongue in her mouth and kiss her deeper. This sudden move made Erza groan with desire but this kiss didn't last long.
"I can't stand this" Erza tried to say with a rough voice fill with her warm inner feeling for the blond.
Her eyes was intensely staring at Lucy saying how much she needed her right now.
"Me either" Lucy answered.
Lucy didn't wait any longer. She untie Erza's red tie without further delay, embracing her lips with another kiss. Her free hand grabbing the edge of the table behind Erza. She didn't had to use force to drag her girlfriend butt on it. They both wanted the same thing, they was used to each other and was almost thinking the same way. They then just let their lips lead the mood feverishly.
Lucy gently showered every parts of Erza's face with kisses and licks lingering precisely at her jaw that she nibbled with pleasure. The groan she heard told her that she was on the right track so she continued until reaching her neck.
Lucy's own voice quickly became more demanding and trembling while Erza were trying to contain her moans. Her neck was one of her weak points, Lucy knew it for a while now so she took it with full mouth and tongue trying every time to find the sensation that pleases her the most. Her hands were busy to slowly opening her shirt and undoing her belt. When Erza saw it, it was too late. Her pants was already done the floor and a sensation of warmth and softness wrap her right nipple making a trail of electricity run down her spine down to her panty.
"What are you looking at?" Lucy asked her with an erotic grin.
"I- aaahn..!"
Lucy took the tie who was still around her girlfriend's neck and used it to blindfold her. Once she was sure that her girl were now unable to see her, Lucy's face changed. She caressed Erza's face with both hands admiring the beauty she had in front of her with unspoken loving word in her eyes.
She love this girl. More than anything.
"Lu-Lucy?
"Sshhh, don't talk"
Erza could not see anything anymore but surely, the gentle sensations that ran all the way through her body to her legs gave her some clues. And she would probably have been right, Lucy's kisses were tender, burning with desire and her hands promising to offer her every sensation she wanted. When Lucy sat on her knee and gave a quick lick on her panty, Erza quickly respond with her hands on her head.
"Oh? Is my dear butler trying to tell me something?" Said Lucy while get up again to give her breast more attentions.
Erza wanted to answer but her lips shivering too much. Her words were turning into low groans every time she tried to speak. Unable to see, Lucy's hands and lips seemed to be everywhere on her body. That made her crazy and it was an unbearable pleasure for Lucy to watch her try so hard to contain her voice.
Once both Erza's breast were covered with a saliva and her nipple standing hard for more, Lucy smiled with satisfaction with her hands roughly on the redhead butt.
She spanked it roughly.
"Didn't I asked you a question ?" Lucy asked with a seductive voice as her hands were now slowly get down her panties along her legs. "What did wanted to tell me?"
"You know it well enough" Erza answered turning her head away from her.
Lucy pushed her onto the kitchen's table behind her. Once she was laying on it, Lucy she dropped her lover's panties on the ground with gentleness and then used a little of her strength she spread her legs. A thin line of her desire was still between the tissue and her sex which made the blonde even more wild with lust.
"Say it to me. I want to hear it" Lucy whispered with lust.
Erza moved her hands on her face, wanting to take away the red tie who were hiding her eyes but she didn't do it. The way Lucy were dominating her always made every part of her body who's been touch by her burn and her legs move apart by themselves. She needed her just like the way Lucy needed her too.
"I want you Lucy. Make me yours" she finally said.
She didn't blushed, she was honest with herself and Lucy felt her heart melt by that but as soon as she sniffed between her legs to smell her want. Her hands were massaging both of Erza's tight with the right amount of strength and sensuality to make her feel that she belong to her.
"You're already mine Erza. You belong to me and only me"
With her lips, Lucy french kissed Erza's slit as if it was the most beautiful thing that existed in this world. Her tongue slowly avoid the red head sensitive point of excitement, tracing every part and the slightest corner of her enjoying her moans of pleasure and frustration. But of course Lucy could not do it any longer. Her own panties had to be soaked by now and she could feel it. Lucy tightened her legs and drew her own desire frustration on her lover's clit.
After so much waiting, she nearly came as precipitously as the intense pleasure had begun but Lucy knew her. She knew how to do it and made the pleasure last as much as she could. She licked, sucked, aspired ... anything that could make her scream her lust.
When the uncontrollable writhing of Erza's hips becomes too strong, Lucy decided to penetrate her with two of her fingers and then kiss her all along her body to her face with love and care.
"You're mine but I'm yours as well" she whispered.
She take the tie away from her to watch her lover in her eyes. Her face were fill with lust and yet, when their eyes met and that Erza quickly grab Lucy's shoulder biting her lower lips, it was none other than love that they saw.
"Erza... I love you" she whispered as Erza came wildly around her fingers. "I love you..."
"Lucy?" Erza asked after she recovered from her emotions. "Are you crying?"
Erza wiped Lucy's tears away from her eyes.
"I don't want to meet this guy..." Her tears ran down her cheeks even more and Erza hold her body tightly close to hers.
Like they both said "they can't stand all this anymore" and Erza decided to try her plan anyway.
Who know what will happen?
If everything's going right, they'll be forever together and finally in peace.
