Chapter 16: Hot and Cold Water

Laxus Dreyar's large hands were surprisingly gentle as he lay Lucy Heartfilia on his bed and stripped her clothing one piece at a time. His lips, however, were not; they were hard and demanding. She liked them, no matter.

Now completely naked, she tried to cover her round breasts with her hands, but he gently tugged them away and then replaced them with his steamy kisses. She moaned softly, fisting his blond hair with her hands.

"You're beautiful," she heard him say, his voice deeper than usual, arousing her even more.

Laxus straightened up and quickly removed his clothes. Lucy stared at him, feeling breathless as she finally saw him bare. His muscular and perfectly toned body didn't only look magnificent in her eyes, but it also looked surreal like a god carved out to perfection.

As they made love, she felt him claim her with the force of passion that she had often seen in his eyes. She was surprised at how he could easily make her come undone and give in to his every demand. But she didn't mind. Meeting his every need fulfilled hers immensely.

She didn't dare close her eyes. Every detail of his face and body was too important to miss as he moved to bring them both to climax. And when they finally came, they looked at each other, taking in their expressions.

Her first time with him was truly special because it was purely out of their desire to be together and become intimately closer. She was glad that they waited until this moment.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Why?"

They were facing each other in a hot tub, enjoying the heated water that was massaging their muscles delightfully. They had fallen asleep earlier. Lucy had been the first to wake up and had taken the liberty to take a dip into the tub. Minutes later, Laxus had joined her.

The lightning mage shrugged. "Just asking," he told her.

She raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you?"

He pulled her close and turned her around so that her back was leaning against his chest. Then, he wrapped his arms around her small frame and rested his chin on top of her head. "You bet I am," he murmured.

She chuckled and closed her eyes, savoring the warmth that he was giving her. She let her fingers caress his strong arms as she leaned her back more freely against his body. Moments later, she could feel his manhood harden behind her. How fascinating. She wasn't really doing anything.

"Do you want to do it here?" he asked her suddenly, placing his hands on her shoulders and stroking her skin with his thumbs.

The celestial mage immediately blushed, but she found herself muttering, "The shower would be much better—"

There was a loud splash. Laxus had quickly scooped Lucy in his arms and stepped out of the tub, catching her by surprise.

"W-wait, what are you doing?" she questioned, stammering, as he strode over to where the shower was.

"What do you think?" was his only response.

Inside the shower, he carefully set her down. Then, he pushed her against the wall and kissed her hard, cupping her breasts with his hands as he did so.

"You said you wanted to do it with me in the shower, right?" he murmured against her lips.

"I-I didnt... I only meant—ahh!"

She moaned as she felt his finger slid between her legs. She was instantly aroused by this intimate gesture, leaving her speechless.

As the lightning mage continued to work his finger inside of her, she wantonly slipped her tongue into his mouth and relished the taste and feel of him.

Her face burned in embarrassment as she sensed herself almost reaching her climax. The erotic sensation that he was giving her was too much, so when she came in his finger, she broke the kiss and cried out his name.

But he wasn't done with her yet.

The celestial mage suddenly felt him lift her upper body with his strong hands. She tightened her arms around his neck for support as he guided her legs and wrapped them around his waist. Then, he slightly changed her body's angle by lowering her as he gripped her hips tightly.

Moments later, she felt him inside of her, and he wasn't gentle about it. She noticed that he wasn't holding himself back. At all.

It was hot, sweet sex, and she never felt anything like it. Being cornered against the wall with his body pressed against hers and his hard length thrusting inside of her, she thought she would go crazy. It was beyond her fantasy.

Acting on instinct, she bit his shoulder, and she could hear him groan with pleasure. Feeling embarrassed after seeing the bite mark on his skin, she quickly smoothed it with her tongue.

"If you want to bite me, Lucy, then don't hold back," he told her.

"Okay." She kissed him deeply and then started nipping at his lower lip. Then, she sucked on it, letting the tip of her tongue graze the swollen lip. She could sense her lover losing control because he was now thrusting himself inside of her more roughly than before.

Lucy could feel her body tense again, realizing that she was about to reach her climax once more. Shuddering, she moaned in his ear, "Laxus, I'm about to come."

"Is that so?" he growled.

She could feel his body's muscles tighten even further. Then, she realized that he was about to reach his limit, too. She placed a hand on his cheek and looked into his eyes. When he returned her gaze, she saw his gray orbs blazing with intensity.

When Laxus shove himself inside of her in one more forceful thrust, Lucy felt him come as she, herself, reached her own climax. They had cried out as the waves of passion overwhelmed them both.

Breathing hard, he slowly lowered her legs to the floor and hugged her tightly. Despite her mind's trance-like state, she heard him pant:

"I love you."

Stunned, Lucy glanced up at him, and she saw him looking surprised as well. She realized that he hadn't meant to say it but wondered why he did. She opened her mouth to speak, but Laxus had already reached out and turned the shower knob beside her. Then, there was a heavy sprinkle of cold water.
