Chapter 10

I looked around the cabin I had come to hate so much. This time there were no chains or weapons. There was a fire going and the table was back. Sunlight was streaming through the windows. I saw movement beside me and turned to see Aishlyn but there was something wrong. She looked more like a ghost, and when I reached for her my hand went through her. What was going on this time?

"Aishlyn?"

"I remember this day."

She floated back some and the door burst open. Her father came storming through dragging her along behind him. She couldn't have been but maybe four years old. Her hands and knees were scratched up, looking like she had fallen. I could tell she was in pain as well as being terrified of the man, but even at this young age she held back her tears. He was ranting and raving at her but I couldn't make out what he was saying. I found that I was able to move and stepped up to punch the man away from her. I went right through him, just like I had her.

"It's a memory, Gray. You can't stop it." She said calmly from the corner.

I walked over to her.

"Baby, what's going on?"

"I don't know. I've dreamed about this many times but it's the first time you were here."

I was about to ask her what memory it was but the scene changed. We were standing in the bathroom as her father held her wrist and started running water in the bathtub. Was he actually going to clean her up?

"I can't belive you ruined your clothes! You worthless bitch! You don't care about anything but yourself!"

Her "clothes" were barely more than rags and had many holes in them. She stood silently her head down flinching as he pulled on her tiny wrist with every word. The tub was almost full so he turned the water off.

"This is why I hate baths."

I turned to her as she floated there staring at her father as if in a daze. I turned back around just as he put her in the water then forced her under. He held her there. I saw her struggle and panic. I again rushed him but it did no good. It only gave me a closer look at her terrified little face. I saw her stop struggling and her eyes went blank. I panicked trying to pull her out but it did no good. Her father released her and she floated back to the top.

"Now I'll finally be rid of you and good riddance!"

He stormed out and I could hear the sound of clinking bottles. I couldn't look away from her open blank eyes. I realized tears where running down my face and I was frantically calling her name. I put my head on the side of the tub. I wasn't there long before I heard her gasp for air. I turned to look at her as she came too. She quickly climbed out of the tub and crawled to a corner. Pulling her little legs up to her chest she started to silently cry.

"Why daddy? I didn't mean to fall. I can't keep up with you." I heard her whisper.

I looked to the older Aishlyn. She just stared in horror at her younger self.

"Sometimes I wish I had died that day. I wish I had died with my mother," She turned and looked at me. "but then I wouldn't have met you. Why are you so different? Every man in my life has done these kinds of things to me. They didn't have your strength but they had enough. Yet, you, who could snap me like a twig, is so gentle with me? It doesn't make sense."

I knew I couldn't touch her but I could be close to her so I walked over too her.

"That's simple. It's because I love you and want to protect you."

"My own father couldn't love me. He tried to kill me and beat me almost daily. How can anyone love me if he couldn't? How can you?"

I saw the tears running down her cheeks before everything started going black. I awoke as my body jerked me up. I found myself sitting in bed beside Aishlyn. I could feel the warmth of her body against mine and I rubbed my hands over my face, feeling the wetness of my tears.

"Gray? Is everything ok?"

I must have woken her up with my reaction. I looked around realizing it was still dark out.

"Yes, Love everything is fine. Just a bad dream. Go back to sleep."

She sat up and warped her arms around me and kissed my shoulder.

"Want to tell me about the dream?"

"No, I'd rather just forget it." I told her.

I knew that I'd never forget it though. Her asking how I could love her was branded inside my head and my heart. I turned, wrapped my arms around her and laid back down, pulling her onto my chest.

"You know I love you right?" I whispered softly.

"Y-yes."

I smiled at her timid response but it eased the ache I felt to know that she knew.

I was shocked at his question. He always tried to make sure I knew he loved me. I knew that. I just didn't understand why he loved me or how he could, and it seemed a weird reversal of the dream I'd just had when I had asked him that very question.

We laid there holding each other in silence. Just needing the comfort of the others warmth. From time to time one of us would lightly kiss the other, but nothing fierce or hot, just the comfort of knowing we were there together. Neither seemed to want to go back to sleep and face our nightmares. We did finally sink into a restless but dreamless state.

...

I awoke to find Aishlyn laying on her back with her hands in my hair, my head on her stomach and arms clutching her tightly to me. I turned my head and looked up at her face. She was still asleep. She looked peaceful this time and I hoped she was getting the rest she needed.

I began to slowly move, trying to get up. I saw her eyes slowly open and then she looked down at me. She smiled her beautiful smile at me. I had made myself a promise as we had laid in the dark just holding each other. No matter what I'd make sure she knew I loved her, I didn't want her to go a moment having to question that. Now how did I go about it?

I turned my head so that I could kiss her stomach while placing my arms under me and lifting up just barely. I started trailing kisses up her body, slowly. No licking, or nipping, and placeing one quick kiss in the valley of her breast, avoiding that temptation, and up her neck. I watched her as I kissed her chin and could see the anticapation on her face as she expected our lips to meet, but I wasn't ready to go there yet. I kissed up her jaw, over her cheek, forehead and down the other side. Once I was back to her chin I moved up and lightly kissed her eyelids which caused her to giggle and I smiled. Finally satisfied with that I settled my body over hers and gave in. My lips lightly met hers in a sweet but searing kiss. Waiting to see what she would do. I felt her hands move up my chest and over my shoulders. I didn't want this to turn. I wanted to keep it sweet and loving, nothing sexual. I tried to put all of my emotion into this one action and hoped she could feel it. I pulled from our kiss and watched her. She had a slightly dazed look but she also was glowing and I smiled to myself.

My body warmed and hummed as Gray started kissing his way up me. I was prepared for our normal play, but this felt different. He carefully avoided my breast and continued. Once he had reached my chin I knew what would be next and I eageraly awaited his lips on mine and closed my eyes. It didn't come. Instead I felt them on my jaw. My eyes flew open as he continued over my face. I didn't understand this. I stilled and focused on what he was doing. When he kissed my eyes I was surprised by the sweet and tender action, it caused me to giggle. Finally his lips met mine and I felt emotion pour out of him. I couldn't catch what they all were but the strongest one was love. I was shocked by the strength of it as the emotion poured over me. Again my body warmed but in a different way this time. This time I couldn't deny that he loved me and I realized then just how happy and content I was with this man. I also realized just how much I loved him in return.

He didn't say anything. Nothing needed to be said. He'd said everything he needed with his actions and I think he knew that. I had already learned that Gray tended to act rather than speak most of the time. I watched as he got up and went in the bathroom. As the door closed behind him everything came crashing down on me. How could a man like him love me? What if he realizes that I'm not good enough and walks away? What if he finds someone else? They all circled in my head and I felt my panic begin to rise. NO. I trust Gray. Besides you can't fake the emotions he had just poured over me, could you?

My thoughts were cut short as I heard the bathroom door open and looked up at the most amazing man on the planet.

...

We sat at the bar eating breakfast. I noticed that Aishlyn still tended to draw in to herself anytime there were other people around. That's why I had choosen to sit at the bar instead of a table. Here we could somewhat be away from them yet be around them. Mira was there as normal but the quite, steady,and sweet natured mage seemed to rub off on Aishlyn and bring her out a little.

Once we were done we sat there talking to Mira. I had reached over and taken Aishlyns hand entangleing our fingers and rubbing small circles on her palm.

"Gray-sama?"

Oh shit I forgot about Juvia! I hadn't even warned Aishlyn. I slowly turned to face Juvia.

"Ummm Hi Juvia." I didn't really know what to say to her.

"Why is Gray-sama holding someone elses hand?"

Juvia's eyes were overly shiny, and I knew she was holding back tears.

"Listen Juvia we need to talk." I told her.

"But Gray-sama this isn't Juvia's Love Rival. So why is she here with you? You are supposed to be Juvias."

She glared at Aishlyn and I felt her shrink beside me. I sighed.

"Listen Juvia, come with me and we'll talk."

I really didn't want to do this to her in front of the guild. I stood up and walked outside knowing she would follow me.

I had felt Gray stiffen beside me when the woman had spoked and seen the look of dread on his face. He had dropped my hand the moment she spoke and then not looked at me. The woman had glared at me horribly like I had stolen something from her. Was she Gray's girlfriend? Had I taken him away? She was beautiful. I could see why he would have liked her.

I felt the tears building up as they left.

"We all knew this was coming. He'd have to face her sooner or later." Mira said while patting my arm comfortingly.

He'd have to face her? I slowly got up and disappered to my room letting the tears fall there. Had I mistaken everything? Was he just taking care of me because he felt sorry for me and was now having to explain to his girlfriend?

"You're such a stupid bitch to think anyone would ever like you espically someone like him! He probably has a girlfriend and is sneaking around with you. Why else wouldn't he tell anyone." My uncles words rang in my ears.

...

I entered the guild slightly shaken after talking to Juvia. At first she hadn't wanted to listen and had tried to play my feelings for Aishlyn off and in the end I'd had to be a little harsher than I had wanted. She had ran off crying. I hated that sight but she had to understand.

I walked back to the bar not seeing Aishlyn anywhere.

"Hey Mira," I called and she turned to me. "you might send one of the girls to check on Juvia."

"Already planned on it. Lisanna said she'd give her a little time then go check on her." I just nodded.

"Where's Aishlyn?" I asked and watched as Mira looked around.

"She left after you did but I didn't see where she went. You did warn her about Juvia didn't you?"

"No, honestly I forgot."

"Oh Gray! She's probably back in her room."

I had figured as much and hurried that direction. I knocked on the door but no one answered.

"Aishlyn?" I opened the door only to find the room empty. "Aishlyn?" I walked to the bathroom door and knocked but again got no response. I opened the door but found it empty as well. What the hell? I turned to leave only to have Wendy come in before I could go out.

The little mage beamed up at me then looked around the room.

"Where's Aishlyn?"

"I don't know! I thought she was here."

"Maybe she's in the bathroom?"

"I checked there already. I'm going to look for her."

I ran out to the main hall running past everyone. I flung the doors open and ran out, looking about wildly.

"Aishlyn?" I called.

I got no response and had no idea how much of a head start she had on me. I started towards town. Just before I got there I almost ran into Gajeel. Dodgeing him just in time.

"Hey watch..."

"Have you seen Aishlyn?"

"Alreadly lost your woman? That's.."

I grabbed him by his shirt and slammed him against the brick wall.

"Have you seen her?"

"She went that way." He said pointing towards the path we used to go through town to the clearing. I suddenly knew where she went. Releaseing Gajeel I took off.

Why would she just leave like that? What the hell happened? My thoughts raced as I ran towards the clearing.

I was almost there when I spotted her. She was sitting beside the path with her legs drawn up to her and her head laying on them. Her eyes were closed and she was crying. Onyx and Xypher sat with her their heads down.

"Aishlyn?" I said as I stopped running.

As soon as I spoke both dogs stood up faced me and growled. I was a little shocked since Onyx hadn't done me this way since the first night we met. What had gotten into her.

"Aishlyn, what's wrong baby?"

"Go home, Gray." She didn't even look up at me but she stopped me dead in my tracks.

"What?"

"Please just go." She turned her face away from me.

Both dogs heads lowered and they stepped forward still growling. What the hell?

"Onyx, Xypher, go to the clearing." She said firmly.

They both looked back at her then at me. Xypher growled low but turned and headed towards the clearing. Onyx stood a little longer but then went as well.

I walked up and sat beside her.

"Baby, tell me what's wrong."

"How can you call me "baby"?"

"What? You said you like it when I call you that."

"I did," she sighed, "I do." She added that so sofly I almost didn't hear her.

"But you don't want me to?" I was so confused.

She sighed.

"Ba..Aishlyn, you're going to have to tell me what's going on cause I'm lost."

I sighed again. Did he really not know?

"How can you call me that or any of your other pet names? How could you come up here and be with me every night? Or kiss me and touch me like you did, when you have a beautiful woman waiting for you?"

"Juvia? You think..." I sighed.

I moved in front of her and reached for her but she pulled away.

"Aishlyn look at me." She shook her head slightly.

"Aishlyn." I sighed. Gods why hadn't I warned her. "Please."

I waited all the while wanting to cradle her to me and wipe away her tears. She finally raised her head and faced me.

I couldn't take it anymore. He didn't belong to me. It had been a fantasy. I raised my head and looked at him.

"Why Gray? You don't owe me anything. I knew it was to good but I wanted to believe..."

I placed my finger on her lips.

"Juvia and I have never been anything more than friends. At least not on my part. She has been infatuatied with me since we first met. If I had wanted her I could have had her, but I never have. Aishlyn, I only want you." I removed my finger and watched the confusion dance across her face.

"But she said..."

"I know. She's always said things like that. I've tried to stop her many times but she wouldn't listen. I figured if I didn't return her feelings she would stop, but it didn't work. She even considered Lucy her Love Rivial over me."

Her eyebrow raised questioningly. I just nodded.

I could definatly understand any woman for falling for him, he's irrestiable. So could I really blame her?

"I should have warned you about her and I'm sorry I didn't. Honestly, when I'm with you everything else fades. I told her the truth though. I told her that I wanted to be with you."

I watched her wondering what she was thinking. She wasn't talking much.

"Gray, I want you to know something. When I'm with you, it's...amazing. There's no feeling like it in the world. You make me feel safe and warm. You make me feel like I matter. You're the first man to look at me and not hurt me. You're also the first person to look and actually see me. That means the world to me. I love you with all of my heart and I know I'm not good enough for you..."

"Don't even think that."

"I do think it, alot. I can't help it but for the first time in my life I am happy. When I'm with you I'm happy. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you."

"Well that's easy." She looked at me questioningly. "The only way you'll ever lose me is if you make me leave and even then I'll fight to win you back."

"You really mean that?"

"I really mean it."

I couldn't help but laugh in relief when she beamed at me. I reached my hand out and wiped away the last of her tears. My hand lingering on her skin. We stood up and I pulled her to me. Holding her tight and burying my face in her shoulder.

I moved my head up and looked her in the eyes.

"Please don't ever scare me like that again. I thought I'd lost you."

"I'm so..."

I couldn't let her finish as I kissed her hard. My hand going to the back of her head and tilting it to deepen our kiss. My tongue met hers caressing it. We held the kiss as long as we could breaking apart with both of us gasping for air. I noticed her lips were slightly swollen.

"Can I call you "baby" now?"

"If you really want, but you've kinda topped it lately." I just looked at her quizically. "You know calling me Love or my Love beats Baby." She smiled up at me.

"That it does, my love, that it does."

I kissed her again. Not as hard this time but just as urgently. Again we held it as long as we could. Breaking apart only when we had to breathe. I noticed that when we did she leaned into me and it seemed she didn't want to seperate any more than I did.

"We should go check on Onyx and Xypher. I think I upset them."

I turned and motioned her on my back.

"I'll say. They acted like they wanted to tear me limb from limb."

Once she was settled I started walking to the clearing.

"They knew I was upset. They were just protecting me, that's all."

"I love that they are protective of you but could we teach them that I'm a good guy?"

She laughed at my question. The sound still effected me. We entered the clearing but I was met with growls.

"Gray stop." I did as she said but they continued to growl. "Let me down."

"No." I knew it was a stupid idea but I was going to do it anyway. I started walking again. Ingoreing their growls. I knew they wouldn't hurt her but they had to learn that I wouldn't either. Their growls got louder and there heads went down. Onyx even showed her teeth.

"I know you want to protect her but so do I. It's time we worked together on this."

Onyx tilted her head at my words. She really is a smart dog and definatly the brains of the operation. She continued to show her teeth but stopped her growling. I wasn't sure if that was good or bad. I walked between them and then past them. Putting my back to them so they'd see she was ok. I turned around to face them then and let Aishlyn down. She started to move around me but I stopped her. I didn't look at her, didn't take my eyes off the two hostile dogs.

"We have to work this out. Please let me try."

"Gray, please..."

"I won't hurt them."

I looked from Gray to Onyx and Xypher. I wasn't as worried about them as I was him I didn't want any of them hurt.

"Aishlyn, please. Step away."

I hesitantly stepped out from behind him. Then quickly moved away. As soon as I did Xypher came to my side and stood watching. I gasped as Onyx ran straight at Gray.

I saw Aishlyn move aside and the Brute go to her but I still had Onyx to face. I also wasn't sure he was done either. I saw Onyx move, she was running at me and brought my arms forward and down.

"Ice Make:Floor!" I smiled expecting to watch her slide. She didn't. Her first step on it barely phased her and she kept coming. Holy shit I'd only managed to slow her down.

"Ice Make: Fishnet!"

I watched as my magic went...right through her? No that's not possible. Did I miss?

Before I could do anything else she jumped and hit me square in the chest. I fell back as her full weight hit me. I landed on my back with her standing on my chest, her nails peircing my skin, and watched as she opened her mouth and came at my face. Damn I knew this was a stupid idea. I raised my arms and pushed against her chest, I could feel her nails raking down as I pushed her back but I wasn't making enough headway. Damn she's stronger than she looks!

"Onyx NO!" I heard Aishlyn scream and saw her move out of the corner of my eye but the Brute blocked her path.

Onyx's teeth snapped together mere inches from my face! She then just stared at me for at least a miniute before getting off me and going over to Aishlyn.

"Gray are you ok?" She was trying to get to me but the Brute kept blocking her.

I stood up slowly and as I did I heard him growl and turned just in time to see Onyx turn and snarl at him. He immideatly stopped and looked at her. I started towards Aishlyn both dogs watched me but neither made a sound it's like they were waiting to see what I would do. I walked past them to her and hugged her.

"I'm fine." I said as I stepped back.

"You're bleeding."

I looked down at my chest and found that she was right. Where Onyx's nails had dug in I was bleeding.

"It's nothing, just scratches, though it feels like I just got a warning to take better care of you but that's crazy right?"

"I don't exactly know. I mean dogs can pick up on many things but I don't know that they could have picked up on what was going on."

I just looked at her then at Onyx. What was it Loke had called them? Night Hounds? I'd have to remember to ask him about that cause these didn't seem like your typical dogs. I looked back at Aishlyn.

"Can we go back to the guild now? I think you've had enough for today."

"Looks like I get to tend to you for once." She smiled up at me.

I turned and motioned her up on my back.

"Gray I can walk."

"Love I can see your legs shaking. You pushed yourself enough coming out here."

"But you're hurt."

"They are only scratches. I'll be fine."

"But Gr..."

I turned and quickly kissed her. Catching her off guard and stealing her words.

"No buts. You have two choices here. Either you ride on my back or I pick you up and carry you in my arms. Well I guess there's actually a third cause I could just throw you over my shoulder. Personally I kinda like that one." I said smiling.

"You wouldn't dare!"

Without hesitation I picked her up and slung her over my shoulder and started walking.

"Gray!"

I couldn't believe he did that! I knew he was strong but this, really? I also could feel him laughing and knew he was playing. I balanced myself by putting my hands on his waist and started wiggling against him. Then I felt a shockwave go through my body as he lightly smacked my butt.

Oh shit! I hadn't thought before I playfully reached up and smacked her on the butt for wiggleing. I felt the shockwave go through her and stopped in my tracks. I pulled her off my shoulder and sat her on her feet in front of me but didn't let her go. I could see the shock on her face.

"Aishlyn, I'm sorry..."

I stopped his words going up on my tip toes and kissing him.

"If there's anything I've learned it's when someone is seriously trying to hurt me. I know you were playing. It just caught me off guard is all."

I looked at her in amazement. After what she had been through I'm surprised I didn't terrify her.

"Are you ok? I didn't hurt or upset you?"

"I'm fine and no you didn't hurt me in the least. I was just shocked is all." I smiled up at him to let him know I was fine.

I searched her face to make sure I hadn't upset her but saw no signs of anything wrong.

"Ready to go back then?" I asked.

I watched as she got hesitant, shy and looked down at the ground.

"Gray?"

"Hmm?"

"C-can we go to...I mean if it's ok and you don't mind...Can we go to your house? I mean I know you have the stuff I can tend to you with and well, I love the guild but there's so many people, and..."

"That's fine with me. I can pick up a few extra things while we are there. Now this time will you ride on my back?" I smiled.

She just nodded at me so I turned and felt her hands run up my back and wrap her arms around my neck while I reached back and picked her legs up. I let her settle then started towards my house.

"Gray, was Juvia ok?"

"What do you mean?"

"When you talked to her this morning. Is she ok?"

I glanced back over my shoulder surprised.

"She was upset but should be fine in time."

"I feel bad for her."

I shook my head at her.

"What?" She asked at my movement.

"You're worried about someone that is infatuatied with me?"

"Well, you did more than likely break her heart and I couldn't imagine what it would be like if you chose someone over me. I know you didn't mean to hurt her. I'm not blaming you. I just feel bad for her."

"Only you would worry about that and that is one of the reason's I love you."

She truly amazed me. With all that she had been through she could easily have choosen to shut herself off and not care about anyone but she hadn't. She took care of dogs that were hurt and alone, even after one had bit her. One of the times I had hidden in the nook to see her, I had watched her sneak bread and other foods to the children in town that were poor. She worried about Juvia after everything that had happened. She cared about everyone.

As I was unlocking my door I remembered what a mess my place had been the last time I was here. I cringed but we were already here and I couldn't hardly back out now. I slowly swung the door open and stepped in. Looking around I was amazed to see it was spotless. I usually keep my house clean, minus clothes laying around but that was from my habbit but this was spotless. Loke must have cleaned it for me. I had a lot to thank the Cestial Spirit for.

I had sat Aishlyn down just outside the door. I stepped aside and watched her come in. As she walked by she lightly ran her hand across my stomach. I couldn't help but smile at the contact.

"First aid kit?"

"Go ahead and sit down," I motioned at the couch "and I'll go get it."

"Wouldn't it be better to do in the kitchen?"

"I highly doubt you could reach me if I sat on the counter like you did." I couldn't help but laugh at the thought though. "Go on and sit down."

I turned and went to the cabinet and grabbed the case. Then went back to the living room and placed it on the coffee table. She sat in the middle of the couch looking up at me. I sat down and turned sideways on the couch facing her. I watched as she stood, opened the kit and pulled out what she needed, then turned back to me. I stretched my legs out on the couch and leaned back against the side.

I looked down at him trying to decide the best way to go about this. There were four sets of marks. Two on his chest, the left one was right beside his nipple and I couldn't understand how it wasn't bothering him more. The other two were on his lower stomach. I decided to start with the two closest to me. They were all bright red and looked irritated but had stopped bleeding. I grabbed a cotton ball and poured some of the antiseptic on it. I started with the one on his chest. Taking my time to make sure it was clean.

I watched as Aishlyn bent over the table and was gifted with a very nice view of her ass. The pants she had choosen to wear today hugged her curves perfectly. She stood and I quickly looked up at her but she wasn't paying attention. When she bent over to apply the medicine I was gifted with another view. This time her breast. When she bent forward I could see straight down her low cut top. I inwardly smiled and lowered my eyelids about halfway so she wouldn't notice me looking down her shirt. I watched as she moved to the other scratch on that side. It was on my lower stomach but while she was focused on tending it she didn't realize that she rested her hand on my hip just inches away from my cock. When she went to move away her fingers just lightly grazed it and it jerked at the contact, instantly getting hard. She straightened and looked at the other two, getting a flustered look on her face.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Well if I had thought this through a little better I would have started on the other side. I can't reach them without rubbing these."

"I have an idea."

I reached out and pulled her closer. Guiding her till she was stradling my hips. I saw slight shock on her face as she settled and knew she could feel my hard cock against her. She blushed slightly glancing away. I knew I was playing a dangerous game but I'd never been one to walk away from danger.

I could feel him hard against me as I settled myself. I knew I had accidently grazed him a moment ago but I didn't know it would cause this much of a reaction. I felt the heat rise in my cheeks. I quickly went back to tending him.

As she went back to tending the scratches I realized that I'd lost my view since she no longer needed to bend over me. Instead I could feel her pressed against my cock and it was all I could do not to moan. She finished up with the lower one and moved up to the one on my chest. As she dabbed it with the cotton ball she moved forward causeing her to rub the length of me and I couldn't help but hiss. She must have thought it was because of the wound though. She leaned closer and lightly blow across it. The combo of her warm breath on my skin and her movement against my cock sent shockwaves through my body. She finished up then put the stuff back on the table.

"Well, Mr. Fullbuster, I think you'll live. It was touch and go there for a miniute though." She smiled down at me.

I ran my hands up from her knees to her hips. Gripping tightly as I sat up quickly beneath her feeling the friction of her core against my cock at my movement. I crushed my lips to hers, my tongue imidatly begging her lips to open for me. She had barely responded when my tongue swept in caressing hers. There was a hunger to this kiss and I knew she felt it. She only hesitatied for a moment before responding. Her tongue lightly caressed mine. I ran my hands up her sides then over her ribs, up to her breast. Cupping them through her shirt, the material was in my way. We parted from our heated kiss both panting for air. I watched her face as I drug my hands back down her stomach, finding the bottom of her shirt I tugged it lightly. I wanted it out of my way. I needed to feel her skin against mine. She nodded at me and I quickly lifted it off over her head and throw it aside.

I took in the sight of her. Sitting there against me, her shirt off her chest riseing and falling with her staggered breathing. Her bra barly holding her in. I could see her nipples standing erect against the material. I looked up at her face, to see her worrying her lower lip between her teeth, a slight flush to her face and her eyes cast down.

"Aishlyn look at me."

His voice was low and gravely. It sent chills down my spine, and heated my blood. I looked up into his face.

"You are so beautiful."

Before I could even think his lips claimed mine and his tongue swept in my mouth again sending even more chills through my body. I felt his hands moving over me masterfully. Every stroke of his fingers on my skin sending more heat to my core. I could feel myself getting wet. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and ran my fingers into his hair. I had noticed how when I'd tug on his hair his eyes would always darken a little.

I broke from our kiss as I felt her fingers in my hair. I kissed my way down her neck at the same time moving my hand inside her bra cupping her breast. I found the sweet spot on her neck and kissed it. I flicked my tongue over it at the same time running my thumb lighly across her nipple. Her head fell back as she moaned. Her fingers tugged at my hair which caused my hips to jerk and pressed my cock firmly against her core. It caused me to moan then nip her skin. I reached behind her and unclasped her bra. I ran my fingers up to her shoulders, moved back slightly and slowly slid the straps off her arms, flinging the bra away from us. Pulling her against me, burrying my face against her shoulder and enjoying the feel of her bare breast pressed against my chest. My arms wrapped around the small of her back as I kissed down over her collar bone to her breast. I flicked my tongue over her nipple causeing her to moan again.

"Gray."

I couldn't stop the smile that formed when she called my name any better than I could the way my cock jerked.

"Hang on." I said as I slid my hands down her body and grabbed her legs.

Feeling her arms tighten around me I stood up with her and carried her to my bedroom. Slowly I realeased her legs as my arms moved around her. Her body slid down mine, causing me to growl, as her feet found the floor. Watching her as my hands slid slowly down her body to her pants. Undoing her belt then her pants but leaving them where they were. My lips captured hers in another fierce kiss. My hands slipped inside her pants and slid down over her ass, cupping it, pulling her against me, and holding her there, knowing she could feel me throbbing against her. She broke our kiss, gasping for air and moaning. Kneeling down and slowly pulling her pants down she stepped out of them. I ran my hand up her leg to her core then ran a finger over her panties, they were wet. I looked up at her to see her watching me through half lidded eyes. Gods how I wanted to taste her but didn't think I would be able to stop myself after doing so. I pushed her panties aside and run my finger over her outer lips, drawing another moan from her. She swayed a little above me so I stood up without removing my hand but wrapped my other arm around her. Gently I pressed just enough with my finger to part her out lips and glide, gathering some of her moisteur, to her clit. Slowly my finger traced around it.

"MMHhhhmmm."

I knew it wouldn't be long till she came. I lowered my mouth down to the sweet spot on her neck. Kissing and nipping it lightly as I pressed softly against her clit.

"MMMMMMMM"

Her moan was louder this time. Her breathing was ragged. I flicked my tongue over her neck at the same moment my finger grazed over her clit. I heard her gasp and felt her whole body jerk as she came. I continue to stroke her until her body calmed, watching her face as she did. My heart pounded at the sight. I removed my hand from her panties as I kissed her. I wanted it to be soft but it didn't work that way. Her arms wrapped around my neck and she moved backwards. I followed with her not wanting to lose contact. I tried to deepen our kiss but again she moved backwards and I followed. I tried to pull her closer but again she stepped backwards. I started to pull away but as I did I felt her tongue on my lips, I couldn't resist that. I stepped back into her and opened my mouth but her tongue had moved back. Was she teasing me? I swept my tongue in her mouth and caressed hers. Just one stroke of my tongue against hers and she moved back again. I growled in frustration. She's killing me. I pressed back into her moving her back slightly as I did but then we were falling. Before I could react I found myself laying on top of her on my bed. Was that her plan all along? She didn't seem surprised.

"Baby, I would have carried you to the bed to cuddle."

She didn't answer me but kissed my neck instead. I was surprised when she nipped me lightly then swirled her tongue over it. It sent chills down my spine. I couldn't move as she continued, kissing, nipping and licking up my neck. She continued this path until she reached my ear. She hesitated only a second before licking my ear then lightly sucking on it while at the same time rolled her hips against me, stroking my throbbing cock. Oh but gods that felt amazing and set my body on fire.

"But I don't want to cuddle." She whispered in my ear.

I froze. Wait what? I pulled back and looked down at her.

"Aishlyn, no. I told you..." She put her finger to my lips.

"You told me that you wanted me to be sure and I am."

"But..." Again with the finger.

"Gray, I love you. I'm one hundred percent sure."

"But..."

"Gray, I need you, please."

I was staring her in the eyes when she said that. It broke me. I saw no doubt in her eyes. Leaning down I kissed her, softly.

I felt the change in his kiss but wasn't sure what it meant. He pulled back from the kiss and stood up. That scared me. Did he not want to? He picked me up and put me farther up in the bed, resting my head on his pillows. Had I done something wrong? He straightened back up and I watched as he undid his pants. This wasn't like his normal stripping it was much slower. Once he had them undone he hooked his thumps on the sides then looked at me again.

"Are you sure?"

"Completely."

I watched as in one smooth movement he pushed his pants and shorts down. I couldn't help but gasp when I saw him. I'd seen other men but not like him. He was much bigger. I looked up at him.

"I'll be easy, I promise." He said.

I had heard her gasp and saw her eyes go round when she saw me. I knew I wasn't small. I climbed on the bed and moved over her. Looking down at her I moved my hand over her body. Leaning over I kissed her neck trailing up to her jaw and finally her sweet mouth. My hand moved up and cupped her right breast, soflty rolling her nipple in my fingers.

"MMMM"

I couldn't stop the moan as I felt him playing with my nipple while carressing my tongue with his. Gods how is he able to do this to my body? It felt like my blood was boiling in my veins. I felt his hand skim down my body. His thumb hooked in the side of them pulling them down over my legs and off. Moving his hand back up the inside of my leg, stopping at my core.

I knew I needed to get her to cum again. It would make it easier on her but damnit it was killing me to wait! My thumb opened her folds just enough to let me rub her clit.

"MMMMMMM"

I watched her wiggling and moaning under me and about lost it. Gritting my teeth I knew I had to keep control or I'd hurt her more. My thumb moved quicker on her clit.

"MMM...Gray...I don't...think I...can again." She moaned breathlessly.

"Oh yes you can baby, don't fight it." I ground out at her.

His voice was so low and so sexy it along with his hand sent me over the top again.

"MMMMMMM"

I pulled my hand back as she came again, useing it to rub my cock along her slit, gods she was so wet! I couldn't help but moan at the feel. I lined up with her entrance as her body calmed. I waited till she met my eyes. I wanted to make sure she hadn't changed her mind. Giving her one last out. She nodded at me. I leaned down, kissing her as I slowly enetered her. Gods she is so tight! I couldn't help but moan. I felt her barrier against my cock and stopped moving. Pulling back from our kiss I watched her face as I thrust through it. I saw the moment the pain hit her and stopped, letting her adjust to me. She didn't make a sound but I saw it in her eyes.

"Breathe my love. It'll stop soon. I won't move until you're ready."

The pain wasn't nearly as bad as I had expected but it was still there. I hadn't realized that I was holding my breath until he spoke. I took a long shaky breath and as I did the pain stopped. I was able to feel him inside me, and gods he felt good! I wanted more. Slowly and hesitantly I moved my hips against him, which earned me a low growl. The sound sent a shiver down my spine. I nodded to let him know I was ok now.

I saw the pain leave her eyes but waited for her ok to continue. I saw her nod and slowly thrust all the way in. I stayed still making sure there was no more pain for her. When I saw there was none I began slowly, gentlely thrusting in and out of her. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up this slow pace for long but wanted to savor her for as long as I could. Her hands ran up my chest and over my shoulders, leaving a trail that felt like molten lava on my skin. Leaning down I kissed her softly, matching the strokes of my tongue to the thrust of my cock inside her. She moaned as she tightened around my cock and that shredded my ablitily to be slow. My hips jerked against her as I started thrusting faster.

I felt my body responding to his, my hips slowly hestiantly began to move against his. We both moaned. Gods I loved that sound from him. He felt so good moving inside me. I looked up and met his gaze. Time seemed to stop in that moment. It was perfect. He surrounded me, filled me and was above me. He completely consumed my senses, my body, and I loved every moment of it. I could feel him moving so deep inside me and I gasped as I felt the friction building inside me hotter than ever before. It felt like I was going to explode.

Her nails dug into my back and I smiled to myself knowing I had found her sweet spot. Pulling back just a little I thrust back against it and watched as her back arched off the bed and her moan filled the room. Her inner walls clamped down on my cock. I gritted my teeth and kept thrusting against her. I knew I couldn't take much more. My hand slid down her body until it found her swollen clit. My finger traced a circle around it. I burried my face between her neck and shoulder, kissing licking and sucking her sensitive skin. Her nails raked up my back. I pulled almost all the way out of her timing it so that my cock thrust against her sweet spot at the same time my finger flicked over her clit and my tongue ran across her neck.

"GGGGRRRRRAAAAAYYYYY!"

That's what I wanted! My name ripped from her lips as her orgaism rocked her body. I thrust against her harder groaning. Burrying my cock into her one last time as I was blinded by my own orgasim.

I felt him thrust even deeper into me, his head fell back as his deep growl, almost more of a roar, filled the room. It sent another wave of exasty through me, causeing my body to spasim again.

I'd never had an orgaism that intense before! My whole body shook as I collasped on top of her. I knew I had to be crushing her but I didn't have the strength to move!

I felt his body shaking seconds before he collasped on top of me.

"Gray?"

"Am I hurting you?"

"N-no."

"Good."

I don't know how long I lay there on top of her before I could move. Wrapping my arms around her I was able to roll over and pull her on top of me. She started to move off to my side. I placed my hands on her hips and pulled her back holding her there. I wanted to feel her body on top of mine skin to skin. I heard her sigh as she snuggled down into me.
