03 – The Heat
#
Gray got up already searching for his mate, eyes still closed and when he didn't seem to find her, he opened his eyes and his whole body was in alert. They still had a week of heat together and until that was over, his instincts were to have her close or at least to know where she was.
Heart pounding inside his chest when he noticed her clothes were not on the floor where it had been, Gray got up and went out the bedroom and when he didn't see her anywhere, Gray's gut twisted so he ran back to his bedroom to find some clothes to put back on so he could find her.
'We need to find our mate.' His wolf told him when Gray had put his pants back on. 'We need her close.'
"I know, I know." Gray almost growled. "She can't be far." He sniffed the room just to make sure and decided she left half an hour before, tops. "And when I find her I'll kill her."
'You can't kill our mate.' The wolf was most unpleased with the statement and Gray just rolled his eyes.
"Figure of speech." Gray put a shirt on, stepped in his shoes, grabbed his keys and was about to leave when he heard the front door open. He let go of his keys and sniffed the air, relief flooding through him as he smelt his mate. Even so, he was still angry with her for leaving without as much as a note behind.
When he saw her, she was putting a few paper bags on the counter of his kitchen, not a care in the world and Gray couldn't decide if he wanted to kiss or kill her. Juvia sniffed the air and once she caught his scent, she looked up and smiled in his direction, taming a bit of the anger that had been boiling inside his stomach.
"Good morning, Gray-sama."
Finally finding his voice, Gray all but snarled: "Where were you?"
Clearly confused, Juvia frowned and walked towards him slowly. "We needed food, we've been having noodles for the past week and sorry, but we need something that is not made in a cup after five minutes." She stopped close enough to him so his body relaxed a bit. "Juvia went by her apartment to get an overnight bag too." She pointed to the small bag next to the door. "I know we haven't been using clothes for the past two weeks, but it would make me feel better to have more options."
"You didn't tell me where you were going." He pointed out. "You could've told me last night."
"The idea didn't hit me until this morning: Juvia woke up early today and she knew you'd sleep for another hour at least. It was supposed to be quick and, well, it only took forty minutes." She frowned. "And Juvia texted you as soon as she arrived at her apartment just to make sure you knew."
All she said made sense inside his mind and if he hadn't panicked and grabbed his phone to call her instead of trying to go all sniff dog on her, he would've seen the text.
Seeing his troubled face, Juvia stepped closer to him and wrapped her arms around Gray. "What's wrong?"
Gray put his own arms around her, and breathed in her scent. "I didn't know where you were." He whispered. "I woke up and you were gone. I know it makes no sense at all, but I got scared you left me."
"Oh, Gray-sama." Juvia sighed and cupped his cheek. "I'm sorry, I forgot how males get after get bonded." It was general knowledge that male Weres became incredibly attached to their mates at the first weeks of bonding, never wanting them out of their sight, always afraid someone would hurt said mate or to try to break their bond. "Juvia really thought she would be back before you woke up."
"It's fine." Gray sighed, his arms around her tightening. "It just caught me off guard. Usually I'm not this way. In my normal mind, I'd think of calling you first. Instead, here I was ready to follow your smell throughout town."
"Sorry." She said, tiptoeing to give him a peck on the lips. "Really."
"I know." Gray took advantage of their proximity and kissed her, opening her mouth to his while she moaned into it. During the past couple of weeks, Gray had lost count how many times and ways they had had sex. He just couldn't get enough and neither could she by the way she was already grabbing the hem of his shirt to pull it over his head. He helped her by stopping the kiss for just the right time for him to pull it over his head and throw it somewhere. "What if you had a heat wave while you were out?" He asked while trying to undo the buttons of her blouse.
"Juvia thinks they are done." She told him and watched as he got impatient with it and just pulled the fabric, making some of the buttons pop and fall on the floor – she'd have to find and sew them back later – and shrugged the blouse off as he busied himself with her bra, undoing the clasp between her breasts.
"They can't be done." Gray kissed her, already fumbling with his pants and pulling them down alongside with his underwear, his erection was springing to life fast. "We still have at least a week of heat left." The Heat was a period of a month after Bonding that a couple went through to make the possibility of pregnancy get higher; the female would get really horny, release pheromones her mate couldn't resist and they'd mate in hope of an offspring.
Juvia had been undoing her own pants while he had been undressing and kicked them off once she was done, standing in front of him, bare. Gray lost no time in pulling her to him, claiming her mouth as his hands wandered all over her naked skin.
Pushing her towards the couch, Gray turned them around so he sat down – their lips unlocked just long enough for Juvia to straddle him and kiss him back again.
"You know there are ways of it ending earlier." She managed to say when Gray started to trail kisses from her jaw to her neck and he had to think back a bit to remember what they were talking about.
"None of it applies to us." The hand he had on her hip slid between her legs and touched her there – Juvia's gasp was quite pleasant to him, really – and he said, lips kissing his way down to her breasts: "See how slick you are already?"
"That's just Juvia." She breathed, her hands on his hair. "Juvia's always like this for you. Juvia always wants you." She could feel Gray's finger on her sex and knew that if she let it happen, they would end up mating before she told him what she had discovered that morning. She let go of his hair and pushed his hand away from between her legs. "Gray-sama, stop it."
His whole body tensed and he stopped kissing the top of her breast to look up to his mate. "What?" Gray asked and she could see confusion in his eyes: she had never asked him to stop before. Even when he thought they've had enough and she needed a break, she incited him until he was screwing her again. "Why?"
"Just for a moment." She told him, caressing his hair to let him know he did nothing wrong and he relaxed a bit. "Juvia needs to talk to you."
"Now?" He asked, incredulous and waving at the direction of his crotch. "Really?"
She giggled. "You'll want to know what Juvia has to say." The blunette let go of his hand and curled a hand on his erection, earning a gasp and then a moan from him. "We'll get to that in a moment."
Gray took a few deep breaths and nodded. "You have my complete attention, I can guarantee you that."
Juvia let go of him and put her hand on his shoulder. "What are the reasons for a Heat to end early?" She asked and when he frowned, she repeated the question.
"Uh, one of the mate dies, another male claims the female before they bite each other, both decide to end the bond." Gray recited. "We are both alive, I bit you when we mated the first time and neither of us is ending this bond." He tried to kiss her once more time, but she didn't let him, frustrating Gray so much he whined. "Juvia, come on."
The blunette smiled. "There's another reason." When Gray tilted his head to the side in question, she giggled. "Smell Juvia." Tired of questioning her reasons, he did just that, sniffing her neck.
"You smell just like always."
She smiled knowingly. "Again, but pay attention to the smell that lingers."
Gray did as he was told and first he scented her natural smell, it was the smell of rain. Second, he recognized his own smell, since they were bonded and just like she had said, there was new smell, one that lingered a bit more than the others. It was different, he couldn't describe it.
"What the…?" Gray looked up at her in confusion, but Juvia's smile had widened. She grabbed his hand and twined their fingers together.
"The other reason is for the couple to successfully make a pup." She told him sweetly and put their hands over her bare stomach. Gray's eyes widened as he processed the words. "The Elder from the Run was right. We had these past weeks of heat just to make sure Juvia wouldn't lose it and if she did, to make sure she could become pregnant again, I think." She bit her lower lip. "Juvia took a test today when she was at the market."
Gray's mind was completely blank, he kept staring at their hands together over her stomach until he heard his wolf howl in delight inside his mind.
'Our mate is giving us a pup! A strong pup!' His wolf was overly excited and clearly proud. 'Strong like us, like her. Look at her, so beautiful and strong!'
"Gray-sama?" Juvia called his name when he didn't say anything. He looked up and saw uncertainty in her eyes. "How do you feel about this?"
"How do I-?" Gray managed to say, voice rough. "How do I feel?" He put a hand on the back of her neck and pulled her down for a sweet kiss. "I feel very, very happy." He said after their lips parted. Wolves were pack animals and they always got happy when their pack got bigger.
"You do?" She asked, eyes watering.
"Of course!" With the shock wearing off, Gray was clearly getting more and more excited by the second. "A pup, Juvia!" He laughed. "Oh, my dad is going to flip. Prepare to be coddled for seven months. He won't even let you walk." Gray stopped. "Wait, should you walk around? Run? You brought those bags up the stairs." He was quickly becoming terrified. "Shit." He pushed her as far from his crotch as he could without taking her off his lap. "We shouldn't be having sex either, should we? Fuck."
Juvia's laugh was of disbelief. "Wait, Gray-sama." She put her hands on his cheeks so he could look at her. "All of that is fine, Juvia is not dropping dead, she is carrying a baby. A very tough baby who is half you and half her." She smiled. "Walking is fine, running is fine as long as she isn't big yet, carrying bags too. And having sex with my mate is certainly okay." She kissed him for a few moments and when she put her hips where it was before, Gray hesitated on their kiss.
"Juvia…"
"I swear it's fine." She whispered. "Juvia's job is to protect our baby and she would never jeopardize that. Trust me."
Gray smiled and nodded, returning to kiss her.

Juvia wanted to kill her mate – not really, of course – because of how slow he was kissing her.
Apparently, Gray decided he enjoyed kissing her breasts for long minutes and then he stationed himself over her stomach and was giving it open-mouthed kisses and whispering things she could not make out because all she could hear was her heartbeat on her ears while his fingers touched her sex lightly.
"Gray-sama." Juvia whined when he gave no indication he wanted to move from his place. "Please." He finally stopped and looked up to her for a few seconds, giving her a nod.
Relieved, Juvia pulled him up by the shoulders, mouths pressing against each other's when she reached between them to curl her hand around his erection, earning a hiss from him. She pumped it a couple of times before he growled in their kiss and she guided him to her opening.
Slowly, Gray entered her and Juvia had to stop kissing her mate for a second so she could moan at the slow burn that was having him stretching her. "Oh, god." She muttered once he was fully sheathed inside her and started to move slowly. Gray's hand palmed a breast while he had his mouth on her other, sucking her nipple.
They stayed at that rhythm for a while and even though it felt good, it also made Juvia get excited and almost there when she wanted to damn much to get there.
"Gray-sama, faster." Juvia breathed, but he made a dismissal sound and just put a hand between them to touch her clit.
Juvia felt her blood boiled and it was not just because of Gray's touch (which was very good), but because it wouldn't be enough. She wanted more. She wanted her mate, the same mate who had fucked her in front of the body length mirror from behind and told her to watch. She didn't want to be treated like a hopeless woman just because of their pup.
She slid her fingers through his hair and pulled it roughly until he let go of her breast to look at her in annoyance. He even stilled himself inside her, waiting.
"What?"
"Juvia said faster." She told him and he seemed as if it weren't reason enough. "There's a reason why Juvia said it."
"I can get you off like this." He told her. "I don't want to hurt you."
The blunette wanted to scream, but instead she pulled his hair a bit more and she didn't know if the sound he made was of protest or a moan. "You won't hurt me, but Juvia will hurt you if you don't start to fuck me faster."
"Juvia…" He was clearly not buying her threat by the way he sighed.
Knowing she was about to play really dirty especially with how soon their bond was, Juvia prepared herself for what was coming as soon as she spoke the words. "Gray-sama, if you don't stop right now to treat me like I'm gonna break, Juvia will find someone who will." She growled. "Trust me, she has suitors for this." She would never, but she knew her mate and how possessive he'd get.
And just like that, it seemed as if a switch inside Gray's brain turned on. He withdrew his hips from her and then said, between his teeth. "You. Are. Mine." And with each word, he gave her a pointed thrust of his hips, Juvia finally moaned in relief for getting what she wanted.
"Oh, god." She whispered, feeling all of her body get hot, especially when he came out of her, spun her around and slid her from behind, his body topping hers. "Fuck." Juvia breathed.
"Don't you ever say that again." Gray panted in her ear, his hips going faster and faster driving into her and all Juvia could do was to grab the armrest of the couch and try to hold on. She reached behind her to his hair and threaded her fingers there, moaning when he slip a hand under her to touch her clit.
"Please." She said, almost there. She needed something before she could come, but couldn't figure out what until she heard him say 'mine' once again and then sink his teeth on her neck, close to where he had done it the first time they mated.
It was all it took for her to go over the edge with a scream, mind going blank and every centimeter of her body exploding in pleasure, feeling Gray moan her name and come inside her, letting his weight fall on her, limp.
She lost track of time, didn't know for how long Gray was on top of her, but it couldn't be long because he quickly turned them around so she was the one lying on top of him. Juvia smiled and enjoyed the happy feelings, until Gray spoke again.
"Don't challenge me like that, Juvia." Gray said, his voice hard and when she looked up, he was serious. "Never again. I could've… I almost lost control."
"Sorry. Juvia thinks that Were's hormones start earlier." She rested her chin on his chest to look at him. "And you were acting like Juvia was going to break. I like slow making love like any other woman, but when I'm in the mood." She raised an eyebrow. "Plus, you know Juvia would never cheat on you."
"I know." Gary caressed her back. "But it's instinct to show you that you don't need another man to meet your needs." He was feeling pissed off again. "You don't."
"Never." She smiled and kissed his lips gently. "Just follow Juvia's instructions and she won't say anything like that again. She can take care of herself and our pup."
Gray scoffed but nodded, lowering his hand until it was on her waist, his thumb caressed her stomach. "So, a little pup, huh?"
Juvia smiled. "A little pup."
"Does that mean we need to get out of the apartment and actually see other people now that the Heat is over?" Gray asked and Juvia couldn't help it but to smile.
