Another chapter for ya' all. Sorry for not updating so late but life got in the way. And work assignments but I promise I will try to update as often as I can.

I do not own Fairy Tail or its characters.

Chapter 10

'So Lucy. How's your "no hooking up with bandmates" rule is going?'

Lucy turned around to see the platinum blonde walking her way, a mischievous smile gracing her lips. Lucy nearly groaned out loud. Now, she's never going to hear the end of it. Mira had been trying to get her to hook up with one of the guys since they got to know each other. Lucy thanked the girl who was touching up her makeup for next shoot and waved her off.

'Fine. The golden rule still applies.'

'That's not what I saw earlier.'

Lucy mentally shivered at the glint in the girl's blue eyes. She was serious about this whole matchmaking thing.

'It's called acting. I'm that great of an actress.'

Mira threw her head back and laughed, her silver locks shaking along with her slender shoulder. Wiping her tears with the back of her hand, she looked at the blonde vixen sitting in front of her.

'Not even a porn star could get the scene that hot, Lucy. You two looked like you couldn't get enough of each other. Hell, Bickslow looked like he was ready to tear you out of the clothes and take you right then and there.'

Lucy gaped at her. She couldn't believe the sweet Mira had a dirty mouth like that.

'Language, Mira! I'm stunned you know words like that.'

If not for the twinkle in Lucy's eyes, Mira would have thought she was really offended. Mira giggled softly at the charming girl. She really thought of her as one of her sisters even though she didn't know much about her.

'What? Freed likes the dirty talk in the bedroom. One time, he called me while he was away during the tour and one thing led to another and we ended up "taking care of our business" via phone if you know what I mean.'

Mira made an air bunny when she reached the part "taking care of our business" to show she meant something else.

'Ew ew ew! Mira! I so didn't wanna know that. I don't need the mental image of you and Freed in that context.'

Lucy shuddered when the image of Mira and Freed jerking off to each other's word while talking dirty. The straight-laced Freed getting freaky behind the bedroom door? The thought alone could traumatize her.

'What? Freed might be a strict school teacher at his work but trust me, he's a sexy beast in the sack. And he has a huge c….'

'The shooting will be back in 5. Everybody in places.'

Lucy was never more relieved to hear the Ichiya's voice in her whole life.

'Duty call! Bye Mira. I'll see you later.'

Pushing her bottle of water at the Mira, she made a run for the set. That was definitely more information than she ever needed. But when she got to the set, the man sitting on the bed had a long black shaggy hair and multiple piercings instead of a large blonde male.

'I thought the next scene was with Laxus and Gajeel was supposed to be the last.'

Gajeel smirked at the sight of the sexy bombshell, with the still swollen lips from earlier shoot.

'Couldn't find with anywhere so, they decided to go with me first. Guess it's my turn to get a taste of you now.'

Lucy gripped his jaw with her hand and leaned down close to his face.

'You fucking wish, black steel.'

She let go of his face and straightened up but Gajeel just smirked like he was going to get what he wanted regardless.

'Alright if everyone is ready, let's start with the shooting. Gajeel, you will have to wear the buttoned shirt since you will have to continue what Lucy and Bickslow had left of from.'

Lucy didn't have to see Gajeel to know he was leering right now. She flipped him a bird over her shoulder without looking at him.

'Then, Lucy will take off your shirt and we will continue with the kissing scene.'

Great. Now, she had to kiss another guy from the band. She felt like she's breaking all the rules she ever made today.

Gajeel sat on the bed with a delightful bundle in his laps named Lucy the Black Rose. She had her hands on his dark blue unbuttoned shirt, being careful not to stare at his ripped stomach too much. Painfully slowly, she pushed the shirt off his shoulder, caressing his warm muscle along her way. Hell, if she would only have one chance to feel up this delicious specie of a man, she was going to take extra advantage and touch him as much as she wanted.

Placing a hand on his shoulder, she pushed at him until he was only leaning on his elbows. She let her hands ran slowly down his chest, starting from his broad shoulders to his navel, letting her naughty little fingers to trace his impressive six packs, not as prominent as Laxus's but still beautifully sculpted none the less. Gajeel caught her hands before they could travel further down and linked them behind his neck, and taking that as a cue, Lucy drew nearer to his face until they were only a few millimeters apart. It was like they were having a competition on who will cave in first. One of Lucy's hands moved up from his neck and sank into that luscious black hair, twirling a lock of hair on her little finger before pulling a bit hard from its sculp. Gajeel hissed between his teeth and as if that was the last straw, he closed the last distance and caught that pink lips.

If she had thought that the kiss with Bickslow was hot, she had another thing coming. While their moment was passionate and panty-dropping-ly amazing, Gajeel's kiss was rough and sexy. Catching that luscious bottom lips of hers that tasted like strawberry, he bit hard enough to make her gasp. That man was like a barbarian, feasting on her lips like she was the tastiest treat he had ever had in his entire life and he couldn't get enough of her. It was time for a little payback. Lucy pulled at his hair and made him drop his head back, revealing his strong neck. Starting from his jaw straight to the spot where the neck met the shoulder, Lucy's tongue took a happy little trip and when she got to the spot which appeared to be his weak spot, judging by how twitched slightly, she bit and sucked the flesh hard enough to leave a mark. Gajeel's grip on her waist tightened and his breathing quickened.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught something yellow and she looked up to see Laxus standing beside Ichiya with his arms crossed and looking at the couple on the bed with unreadable expression. Lucy suddenly felt like she was cheating on the man and she stopped her sensuous assault on the sexy man beneath her.

Gajeel, not knowing the conflict the blonde was feeling, took her hesitance as a cue, started kissing and sucking her neck but Lucy couldn't turn her eyes away from Laxus.

'Cut!'

Saved by Ichiya, it seemed. Lucy got up from the bed and took one last look at the big blonde before walking away from the scene.

Laxus wasn't even sure why he was feeling this way. All he knew was he was frustrated, like his heart had just been gripped tightly and he couldn't get enough oxygen. He had been feeling this way since he saw Bickslow and Lucy in a passionate embrace. He knew it was just for a show but he didn't like seeing Bickslow's tongue shoved down the blonde's throat. Being outside for a fresh air didn't help either, because now, all he could think about was claiming the gorgeous girl for himself and showed the rest of the world that no one was allowed to touch her milky white flawless skin.

He stopped. What? No one was allowed to touch her? Claiming her?! What the fuck was wrong with him? He's being possessive and Lucy was not even his girl. What in the world was happening to him? There's a reason why girls called him a heartless beast and now, just a mere girl was tearing down all his wall and making him feel vulnerable? What was she doing to him?

He wanted to run far away from the enticing beauty but there's something about her that always kept him coming right back for her. He couldn't understand his feeling, it's just too complicated for his liking. He stopped near the garden when they had a shooting before and looked around. He still could imagine the happy, innocent Lucy in all white, running around happily, soaking in all the nature like she didn't have a care in the world. That was a scene he could never get out of his head. The Lucy he knew was not the type chasing after butterflies and picking out the flowers in the garden, but the one with the middle finger up in the hair to people who look down on her. She's one tough cookie.

But even he knew a girl didn't just become strong this way without going through one hell of a life. It's kind of obvious from the pain that hardened her honey brown eyes when someone asked her about her life before the Slayer or her family. She would just say there was nothing much to tell and drop the conversation. It's still a mystery who the beautiful bombshell really was.

Well, it was no use sulking in the corner like this, he thought. He had to go back to the set. Soon, it was going to be his turn. With a sigh he turned and went back to the way he came from.

Laxus crossed his arms across his massive, bare-chest and stared at the couple going hot and heavy on the bed. The tanned man with long black hair was a contrast to the porcelain skin blonde on his laps, currently sucking on his neck. Gajeel unconsciously tightened his fists at the pleasured look on the man's face at the blonde's ministration.

He wanted nothing more than to grip the man and rip him away from the girl who had been in dreams more times than he was willing to admit but he stopped himself. He couldn't lose control, not in front of her. She would run so far and fast he wouldn't be able to see her trail if he ever let it slip that he was starting to care for the tough girl with a kind heart. He was not stupid. He knew a commitment-phobic when he saw one. It was clear that something happened in the past that destroyed her and her ability to believe in love again. But that didn't mean he had to like seeing a girl he's lusting over making out with another guy.

Something must have caught her attention because suddenly, she looked at his direction and he saw guilt flashed through her beautiful big brown eyes. Interesting, it looked like she felt uneasy being with another guy in front of him. That meant she felt something for him, he internally cheered. Another baby step for them. They kept on with their eye contact for the rest of the shoot and saw her broke the stare when Ichiya interrupted them. Hmm…. Next was his turn. He was going to punish her for toying with him and made him feel shit he never felt before. "Time to take it like a good girl, blondie", Laxus thought.

'Son of a bitch! Why the hell am I getting so flustered? It's just Laxus.'

Lucy paced around in the lady's room for the hundredth time. That horrible feeling when she was in the arms of Gajeel's while Laxus was just a few feet away. It just felt….wrong. Like getting caught by a boyfriend…. Wait WHAT? Da fuck? When did she ever think of Laxus that way? Yeah, he's hot and sinfully delicious. Just looking at him could give her eyes an orgasm but she didn't do relationship. She didn't do monogamy since that was an unnecessary risk for her heart and easier to get attached.

There was a click sound when she heard someone closed the door behind her and she quickly turned around. She must have zoned out because she didn't hear the door opening or anyone coming in the room. She freaked out she saw a flash of golden hair but calm down she found out the blonde hair belonged to the infamous Jenny.

'Will you stop moving around so much? Do you know how difficult it was to get a bedroom hair? Stop ruining it and sit down on the chair. We have to retouch the makeup.'

Lucy nearly whimpered. She didn't want to be under the mercy of Jenny's hands again. While she was a talented beautician, she was also foul-mouthed and arrogant. However, the worst part was when she bragged about her fiancé, Hibiki and flaunted her "perfect" relationship in front of Lucy. One time, Lucy fall asleep in the middle of Jenny doing her hair while going on and on about how hot she and Hibiki looked together and she woke up with half of her blonde locks shaved and she nearly panicked. Luckily for her, she pulled it off but after that incident, she tried to be careful when dealing that crazy woman.

Jenny grabbed Lucy's hand and pushed her into the chair and started working on her lips. By this time, all of her lipstick was eaten off by two sexy men and her lips felt swollen.

'I know it's difficult being surrounded by men all day.'

Lucy lifted one of her eyebrows.

'What? No talk about how picturesque you and Hibiki are as a couple today?'

It might be in Lucy's mind but Jenny's smile looked more menacing than ever just now.

'You want me to ruin your pretty face in front of the camera today?'

Lucy gulped. This woman was not to be taken lightly. She might really do it.

'Sorry. I don't know how to act when you start showing sympathy.'

Jenny didn't reply anything but kept working on her face for a while. Lucy nearly forgot about it when Jenny started talking again.

'When Hibiki confessed to me, I thought he was joking and that he was only after my body and I flat out said no to him.'

Lucy looked up at Jenny in question. Since the first time she met the Ichiya's team, Hibiki and Jenny couldn't keep their hands off each other. They were as nearly sickly in love as Mira and Freed and she couldn't imagine them not together.

'You see Lucy. I was just like you. I was raised to become a fashion icon, trapped in the plastic world filled with materialism. Critical and cynical about what people called "love". I thought it was something boys made up to manipulate girls into sleeping with them. And Hibiki was the biggest skirt-chaser I had ever met. Hell, he was ranked number one model the girls wanted in their bed. But ever after my denial, he kept trying.'

As if remembering happy times, Jenny smiled softly and Lucy gaped at the sight. She had never seen Jenny smiled so beautifully before.

'Eventually, I broke down and said yes to him. I decided to take a risk and man, that was the best decision I had ever made in my life. Well, that and when I decided to quit modeling career. I have never been happier.'

Finishing up with the quick stroke of brush on her cheekbone, she stood up and walked to the door. But before opening the door, Jenny turned to her and gave her a knowing look.

'What I'm trying to say, Lucy, is that all the happily ever after had a lot of rough patches to go through. Don't close your heart and trapped in the past. Open up and take chances.'

With that moving speech, Jenny whisked out of the room, leaving Lucy dumbfounded.

'It's really touching and all but what does it do with my situation right now?'

Yeah, I know the long-awaiting LaLu scene was not in this chapter but I want to build up the plot a bit before the fluff. Still working on my lemon so, I will try my best not to disappoint you. But not to worry, next chapter is the LaLu scene and I will try to make it as hot as possible. And all those who reviewed, you all are awesome and thank you. And those who haven't, you know what to do. ;P

Stars out.
