Hey, guys! Thank you so much for the reviews and follows! I hope that I can continue to give you guys a story that's worth the read :).

After the door shut, the room was still for but a moment when brown eyes crept open followed by Levy bolting up right, cheeks flaring. She gently brought her hand to her lips, where Gajeel had kissed her. Truth be told, Levy had been completely awake when Gajeel kissed her. She did fall asleep on the flight back but she had woken up while Gajeel was carrying her back to her room. Instead of informing Gajeel she was awake and making the moment awkward, Levy had decided to be a little selfish and enjoy the feeling of Gajeel's arms carrying her. Once Gajeel put her down her expected him to leave the room but when Gajeel cupped her cheek instead, Levy had to fight herself not to open her eyes.

Sighing, Levy gazed out into the open space with a happy glassy eyed look. That kiss… Levy didn't have words for the way it felt. It was like fireworks and explosions mixed with the safety and comfort of home all blended together to make an indescribable feeling of pure happiness. Her lips tingled, her whole body was still in ablaze. She was hooked. No matter what, Levy knew that she would be addicted to this feeling forever!

Giggling into her hands, Levy couldn't help but act like a middle schooler with a crush, only Levy knew this wasn't a crush. This was something more. Something real. The blushing Levy then laid down to finally get some sleep, knowing that a certain iron dragon would be there in her dreams.

Next Morning

Light filled the room as the Sun rise higher and higher into the sky. The soft increase in light intensity slowly woke the young woman asleep in her bed from her dreams. Yawning, Levy stretched as she rose and patted her feet on the floor. Sluggishly she got ready for the day, she was looking around her room for some clothes when she realized that she hadn't showered in days. Spinning around the room, her eye caught sight of the 2 doors on the opposite side of the room. She knew one just had to be a bathroom.

She opened the first door to reveal a HUGE closet! Levy could only gaze in awe as she stepped in, this closet was almost as big as her bedroom back home! The whole closet was filled with clothes, dresses, shoes, and purses of every size! It was like a mall! Levy thought back to when Juvia brought her to this room, it was prepared for Gajeel's mate. These clothes were in all sizes just in case. In the corner of her eye, Levy spotted a beautiful black and tan dress with iron inlaid along the chest down to the torso. It had small straps with a thigh length skirt that was adorned in lace. It was beautiful! Levy couldn't help herself as she ran over to take a closer look. Upon inspection, Levy discovered that the dress was just her size! Squealing in happiness, Levy was quick to grab the dress off the rack when she paused, reminding herself that these didn't belong to her. Sadly, she put the dress back and turn towards the door when it occurred to her that SHE WAS GAJEEL'S MATE! The dresses then, by default, belonged to her! Before she allowed herself to think too much into being Gajeel's mate, and therefore turn into a blushing mess, Levy grabbed the dress, a matching head band, underwear, and shoes and went to the bathroom.

While Levy was showering, the door connecting her room to Gajeel's opened, a fully dressed Gajeel peered into the room. The sound of running water caught his attention and his imagination. Images of a wet, naked Levy filled his mind. In his daydream, he could see a showering Levy call him into the shower. Just thinking about it made the grown man very red and hard. Suddenly, the door opened to reveal a wet, towel clad Levy. The two stared at each other in shock, Levy at the fact that she was particularly naked in front of a guy and Gajeel because the woman of his dreams and desires was there in front of him naked.

Gajeel couldn't take his eyes off her. The water from her shower and the rolling steam just made the already ethereal create even more so. His blood raced, his pulse quickened, and his eyes focused on his prize with utmost concentration. He took a step forward and she took one back. This continued until he had backed her into the bathroom against the wall. From this distance, Gajeel could feel her panting breath, hear the racing of her heart and see her eyes dilate in anticipation. Only inches were left in between them.

His eyes… thought Levy was she gazed up at the man. His eyes were burning right through her, to her very soul. Never has a man, or anyone looked at her with such intensity. She could feel a blush spread throughout her body, starting from her cheeks down her neck to her bosom. Her heart races as she maintained eye contact. Suddenly, he cupped her cheek, tilting her head slightly up towards him. Levy's eyes widen in surprise as the man slowly came closer, brushing his nose gently against hers. Levy couldn't help but suck in her breath, eyes drooping closed. She could just feel the outline of his lip when…

"Miss Levy?"

The interruption caused the pair to jump a part. The voice was followed by a knock. Juvia was at the door. Panicking, Levy shoved Gajeel out of the bathroom, towards his door.

"Wha-"

"Shh! Go! Go! Before Juvia sees!" whispered Levy as she continued to shove the giant.

"But-"

"Get going!"

The tiny girl somehow managed to move the large man to the door and successfully shoved the dragon through the doorway.

"Miss Levy?"

"Just a Minute! I'm just getting dressed!"

The look on Gajeel's face could only be described as a kid who's candy had been taken away. Levy quickly turn to him and said:

" I'll see you in a bit!"

"But- but! We were gonna-"

Levy, before she could talk herself out of it, grabbed the man by the front of his shirt, yanked him down to her level and gave him a quick kiss right on the lips. Upon breaking apart, she gave one last shove and pushed the man into his room, closed the door and proceeded to almost faint from the experience. Cupping her burning cheeks, Levy shook it off and hurried to get dress.

Maybe if she was lucky, she and Gajeel could repeat that again later…

After getting dressed, Levy and Juvia made their way to the dining hall, where breakfast had been prepared. Gajeel and Lily were already waiting for them. Gajeel's eyes locked on to Levy from the moment she walked into the room and continued to well into eating breakfast and after.

"Gajeel, when do you want to leave for the labyrinth?" Lily questioned, but even this would not drag his eyes from Levy, who as turning redder and redder by the minute.

"in a half hour… we'll leave then" he replied.

After breakfast, Levy ran back up to her room to get her backpack. It was only when she had entered her room did it dawn on her that she didn't know where her backpack was. She remembered grabbing it from the castle but once she fell asleep she didn't know where it ended up. Frantically, Levy scoured the room until-

"Looking for this?"

Yelping in surprise, Levy whipped around to find Gajeel at the door…. And in his arms was her backpack!

"Gajeel! Where-"

"I forgot to leave it in here last night. But that ain't important."

Gajeel dropped the backpack on the floor (gently) and move towards Levy. Once at arm's length, he grabbed her hips and brought her closer.

"You were playing dirty this morning Shrimp, kissing me out of nowhere, only wearing a towel." He growled, shifting his hands for a better grip.

"I have half a mind to keep you in here, with me, for the rest of the day for that one"

Levy blushed at the suggestive tone, biting her lip, she didn't know how to respond. Levy had never even kissed a guy, besides a kiss on the cheek, before last night. Now, all of a sudden, she has this sex God wanting her and only her!

"Ga - Gajeel, we can't! We need to go-"

"Not until I have what I came here for!" demanded Gajeel, as he pulled her hips so close they touched his own.

Growling, Gajeel leaned down to kiss her neck. Littering her neck with soft kisses from her collar bone to the outline of her jaw. Levy's panting increased ten flow as he climbed, closer and closer to her lips. Ever growing impatient, the damn man seemed to be taking his sweet time getting to her lips. In her frustration, Levy grabbed back the man's hair and pulled him up to her waiting lips, finally quenching her desire.

A clash of tongue and teeth, of love and lust, consumed them. As the two mouths battled for dominance, their bodies clung to each other in desperation, afraid that once their eyes were opened, this would be just a dream. Finally, though, the need for air overcame desire and the two reluctantly pulled apart. Unchecked emotions and feelings swirled in their eyes, reflecting those of their lover's. Never had either of them felt anything like this before, this intense emotion, this craving, this addiction. Just as the two were about to dive back in, a forced cough echoed around the room.

As if on fire, the two ripped apart. There at the doorway stood a giggling Juvia and a coughing Lily, who was obviously covering his laughter. Both Gajeel and Levy turned a bright red at the sight of being caught. Gajeel was quick to tell the intrusive pair to STOP LAUGHING ALREADY! And to GET THE HELL OUT! Neither of which the pair did while Levy proceeded to turn more and more into a beet, covering her stop sign red face in shame. After finally controlling his "coughing problem", Lily gave the new couple a very much so shit eating grin and asked:

"So… When's the Wedding?"

…

THUMP.

"Juiva guesses that was too much for poor Miss Levy," Juvia said over a fainted, bright red Levy.

Needless to say, the 4 didn't get back to the labyrinth until well past breakfast… much to the annoyance of everybody else.
