Farron slid from his chair and stretched his arms up, trailing a hand down to idly flip his braid back over his shoulder, eyeing the color again. His hair kept getting lighter. He'd noticed Zen had a lot of gold streaks through his hair but his own had turned almost entirely a deep dark golden blonde during his 2 months in Atla a while back and it hadn't darkened again.

He could go in and get it changed of course, but he kind of liked it if he was honest. Boscans were mostly dark haired as a people, so blondes stood out a bit, it wasn't striking like Kalebs platinum locks, but still it was a change. He glanced over the completed files on the desk and smirked. Kaleb had said he doubted they could get Fairy Tails books and such organized and straightened out in the 6 months they had.

Add in the mess with Lucy, then the domino effect she had caused too, then everything with Freeds father and Farron had been wading deep in bringing every resource he had and using all of his skills to keep Magic Councils, Rune Knights, local authorities and more from sweeping in.

The com on his desk flashed and he pushed magic into it, recognizing the tone. "Hi Dad." He called, plucking the device from the desk and holding it while he dropped onto the small loveseat so he could relax a little before he ventured downstairs for a late dinner.

"You're looking...smug, everything with Freed and your brother worked out, I like him by the way, I know I've met him before but not as a son-in-law to be. Everything smoothed out ok? Does Freeds mother need any help?" He asked.

Farron smiled raising a brow "Why, interested in meeting her? She is divorcing his father you know Dad, pretty woman too…" Arman snorted.

"Stop your teasing young man, save your matchmaking for yourself, I do want grandchildren from YOU as well as your siblings." He said narrowing his eyes.

Farron rolled his own eyes, lifting his braid again and looking idly at it.

"I like the blonde color on you...your mothers lightened you know." His father said. Farron raised a brow "Really? Like Zens or mine?" He asked.

"More like Zens, with the streaks, but honestly it wouldn't surprise me at all if Zens ended up blonde too, your uncle Tesso is blonde and Ganiers mother was a blonde." His father listed off.

They often chatted idly, Farron and his father, had always been close and years working in the same circles now had re-enforced it, they had so much in common. Farron called his father every day when he was away from Pelerno, when at home he had lunches and dinners with him often too, he and Kaleb both, and Xally when she was in town.

He paused then, eyes shifting toward the doorway behind him. "Hmm, my helper is on her way up here, I'd better go, I've kept her up late far too many nights since everything happened with Lucy, hard worker, you know, we should try to hire in more script mages at the consulate Dad, this one has been a huge help." He said.

Arman grinned "I bet...is she pretty?" He asked and Farron rolled his eyes "Dad, I'm leaving Fiore and heading straight to Enca to hammer out that disagreement over the shipping lanes in two weeks. Pretty or not I'm not pulling a Zen or Cristoff while I'm here….sorry to disappoint you."

"You never disappoint me Farron, none of my children ever do in any meaningful way, not even Vander. You're stopping in Pelerno on your way aren't you?" His father demanded expectantly and Farron smiled as Levy walked into his office "Yes Dad, I will stop overnight in Pelerno, we can have dinner the night I get in but I'm on a ship to Enca the following morning." He warned, facing Levy and smiling gratefully at the woman when she handed him a cold bottle of beer.

"Glad you got stuck with that run, the Encan trade administration director makes my skin crawl." Arman said dryly.

Farron chuckled "She's pretty handsy even with me, but I think she saves it up for you Dad, you should just give in, some good sex would probably help her immensely and we could stop making these runs out there every few months, you know, I could hand off to you...let you just go ahead and handle her…"

Arman made a disgusted sound while Levy bit her lip to keep from laughing, she'd walked in on several of Farrons conversations with his father, their relationship was heartwarming, though they teased each other endlessly. It was clear where Bickslow and his brothers got their mischievous sides from.

"No...and no, Her honorable self can keep her hands to herself, you deal with her. Have a good night my son, try not to stay up too late." Arman said and Farron nodded "Night Dad."

He stood once the com went dark giving Levy a warm smile "Thank you for this, I need to get some dinner. If you could check these and make sure I got the translating done right on the old Ismanian? You can take the job request for the full translation. Clever of them to send their job request in a rare language, assures no guild will even post it if they can't manage rare languages. Nice reward, 250K and if you need help I'd be happy to pitch in. I'll grab a tray and bring my dinner up here so we can get done as early as possible with the other work." He offered and Levy grinned at him, eagerly going to his desk and pulling the file he pointed to off the stack.

"Deal! You can read Ismanian? Oh Gods...you sure can...yes you've done great with this!" She smiled, eyes drifting appreciatively over Farrons neat but elegant writing. He smiled "Thanks,. Be right back." He said and headed down to get his food leaving Levy to pour over the sheets of the original job request and Farrons translation.

She'd been thrilled when Kaleb had offered her the position of Farrons aid while he was there, working for an Ambassador was going to look damn good on her already impressive resume. Add in the fact Farron was friendly, charming, and seriously easy on the eyes and she'd been immensely enjoying her work with him.

It had been a big help for her. Everything with Lucy piled on top of Gajeel just starting to warm up to her and then suddenly backing off had her life way off center. Jet was trying to rekindle their barely there relationship that had ended before Lucy even joined the guild and Max had asked her out a couple weeks ago but she'd turned him down.

Usually she would have just gone out, had fun, but the whole thing with Gajeel just left her feeling so...defeated. Her interest in him was a lot more than any other man she'd ever wanted, the big slayer just...mesmerized her. Since they had kissed she just couldn't stop thinking about him, he was in her dreams almost every night. She wasn't sure why, he was harsh, crass, rough around every single edge, but he was also kind, gentle, and when those ruby eyes met hers the whole world fell away. She'd been so happy when he'd kissed her, it had felt so incredibly….just...right, and he'd asked her out again before leaving, but then, Lucy had happened, he'd canceled their date and told her they should just….stay friends for now.

It had hurt a lot more than she would have expected it to, but then Farron had arrived, and all of the work of getting Fairy Tail on track, protect Lucy and their nakama, handle the wizards who had hurt Lucy in the first place and caused the whole mess, all of that had been Farron, with Levys help.

They had taken over the claims against the guild and the legal matters Makarov had shoved into a cabinet and tried to forget about. Levy now knew more about the laws of Fiore concerning Guilds and wizards than she'd ever dreamed or cared to know and had Farron to thank for the fact she'd be able to fill his shoes when he left and be a serious asset to Fairy Tail going forward.

Not that she wasn't before, just that now, she'd spent some months working alongside the brilliant young diplomat and had learned better how to find information, which avenues produced results with Fiores bureaucracy and how to manipulate law and legal intent to cut through red tape. Farron had helped her expand her skills into a field she'd never thought she'd ever be interested in, but now that she understood the nuances of it, she knew how much she could help her Nakama and loved it.

When Farron came back up he was carrying two trays and narrowed those stunning baby blue eyes on her. "Kinana said you hadn't eaten either, been down in the library all day, so I got dinner for you too, now step away from the files and get over here and eat." He said firmly.

Levy gave him a defiant look and felt the little tremor that suddenly snapped the file shut in front of her, Farron could send precise soundwaves pitched above and below hearing levels that moved things...like he just had.

Farron eyed her with a smirk. They got along really well, though she figured that had a lot to do with the fact Farron got along well with everyone being a skilled diplomat. Still, he had picked up this subtle way of teasing her that sometimes left her a little stunned, wondering if she'd heard something right and staring at him but Farron was ever calm, ever composed and so far, when she teased back, she'd never gotten a desired rise out of him. Nevertheless, they were comfortable with each other.

"Don't test me Levy, the sooner we eat the sooner you can dive back into that file and we can both get home before the guild closes for once." He chuckled and she sighed, sliding the chair back and coming around the desk to sit beside him on the small couch, trays on the coffee table.

"So Enca is next for you huh?" She asked, lifting the plate of fresh pasta and sitting back against the armrest of the couch to face Farron. He already had a long leg against the back of the couch himself, the other dangling off the front while he was sitting back against the armrest.

"Yeah, not kidding about that administrator either, she's a piece of work, I might get Vander to go with me, he won't care she's in her 60s and if he can relax the woman maybe we can get her to stop being a nit picky bitch long enough the trade routes through there can settle in." He chuckled. Levy shook her head, Farron had told her Boscan Ambassadors sometimes brought Sudehpah with them when working with especially difficult political figures. She knew Vander had much more than an average amount of training in that field too.

"It won't be the same when you all leave, I've gotten pretty comfortable with all of you." She admitted and Farron smiled. "You'll see us again, besides, Fairy Tail is keeping Zen for sure and possibly Cristoff too, you can't keep all of us."

"Your brothers definitely settled right in, you never seemed to even date while you were here, surprised me, I thought all Boscans were big time flirts and lovers…" She teased, suddenly deciding she wanted to pry a little, she hadn't since she'd been helping Farron, had kept up a respectful friendly relationship with him. But seeing happy couples around, going through Valentine's day alone again, why the hell not? Even if he had no interest in her maybe Cana could finally get a taste of one of Bickslows handsome brothers.

"Hmm, no, I've been busy, I admit it's been a long dry spell for me, usually I at least have company with attendants at the embassy, but once I'm back to my regular work that will get back to normal. Besides, Fiorans seem to have issues separating physical pleasures from their emotional attachments.I can't risk that sort of thing, my reputation matters here because of my work." He admitted.

"I don't know, I think we can, I mean maybe some really can't but I could, I've had my share of one night stands, not a lot mind you, but I've been ok." She said, having no idea why she would say such a thing.. It was barely true, Jet happened years ago, Eve at the games had been because she was drunk and hadn't touched sake since but those were one nighters and her share of them, all she'd ever wanted.

Farron quirked a brow at her smiling "Yeah? You think you could take a Boscan lover and walk away after without feeling the need to pursue more?" He asked, ginishing off the last of the beer she'd brought him. Levy nodded firmly, smiling at him coyly "I know I could." She replied confidently.

Farron laughed, his little assistant was a tough brilliant woman, and this was the first time they had talked in this direction, usually keeping things very professional. It was refreshing. "That's jumping right into the deep end of the pool you know, and Boscans don't come in a beginners variety, we're all pretty lusty." He chuckled, grabbing his wine glass from the table, he prefered wine with meals anyway. Where his little aid was getting her bold conversation tonight he didn't know but he was enjoying it.

"I'd love to try." Levy added then, she knew he was a sound mage, and made a strong effort to keep her heart rate steady, not to breathe differently or move differently. Setting her almost cleaned plate on the table and lifting her drink to her lips looking up at him. Flirting was something she knew she was good at, she'd done a lot of it, it loosened tongues and made jobs easier, got her into restricted sections of the library too.

"Well, your selection of Boscans isn't bad, Beck is a little rough around the edges, but I've never heard a complaint about him, Rowan is, from all I understand, quite into extended foreplay, Kaleb can be difficult to get a yes out of but those who get them seem very happy, Vander of course is fairly simple to get and has a huge amount of both training and experience. You're out of luck with Cristoff and Zen though." He chuckled.

"And you?" She asked, catching and holding his eyes with hers, ok Levy, steady woman, you're hunting big game now…. She reminded herself. She had no idea what had come over her, how on Earthland she'd suddenly steered things this way. She just felt so...lost since Gajeel had pushed her away and Cana had told her she just needed a good one night stand to feel like herself again so why the hell not if she could score someone like Farron?!

Farrons smile didn't falter "I am a guaranteed one encounter only and I don't take chances. With us still working together...you have to be sure if you care to ask me for sex that you can really handle the night being only about that and it not happening again." He said firmly and while his smile was soft, his eyes were not, he meant every word. He'd say yes to Levy, he liked her, she was a small slight little woman but she had gorgeous legs and a round firm ass and he hadn't failed to notice that, you'd have to be dead not to notice that.

He didn't want to compromise the good work they were doing though, most everything was done, they were just getting it all organized for ease of maintenance at this point, but he still needed her, and didn't want to deal with awkwardness. He knew he could walk right away, had done it before, many times, he was Boscan, it was simple pleasure, nothing more.

It said alot about how far Levy had come in recent years with her self confidence that she was even doing this at all, Farron was famous, good looking would be an understatement of the reality, the eldest of the Pradesh brothers, she knew perfectly well Princess Hisui herself had been offered to him in marriage and she'd watched him at the fashion show, quietly sat in the audience for the photo shoots too, not just to see him of course but because, well, her blood was red she was a young single woman and damn...who wouldn't want to see all of that?

She would have thought him well out of her league, still did deep down, but she figured why not? Erza had scored one of these men, hell Freed had, she wasn't looking for a mate, a husband or even a boyfriend, all she wanted was to know she was desirable enough to win her way into his consideration, and she saw it, saw him mulling it over, and smiled "I'm sure…" She said, putting her drink down and moving, a hand going to his chest and pushing him back and he gave to it, let her crawl up over him, let her straddle him, those pale blue eyes darkening on hers, his lips parting.

"I'm sure, I want you...and I'm asking…" Levy said then and cupping his face, she leaned in and kissed him pushing down against him and almost shuddering when his hands slid up her legs and stopped to rest on her hips.

Farron almost faltered then, hearing something, footfalls from heavy boots trying to be soft on the wooden floor outside his office, his door wasn't closed all the way and he'd heard those footfalls coming as they had talked but hadn't wanted to interrupt Levy or derail where everything was leading, he wanted it, wanted the release, Levy was a beautiful woman in her own right and damn if he didn't need to relax and lose himself in a womans embrace for a had been far too long for him.

Whoever it was hovered, heard most of what they said leading up to Levys bold statement and hovered still.

"If you're sure...just tonight...then yes.." Farron breathed when they broke apart. Levy smiled against his mouth "Then lets go to your place, Ambasador...I want you...now…" She purred, thrilled to her toes, he said yes, Gajeel may not have wanted her but Farron Pradesh himself was going to take her to his bed. Gajeel Redfox didn't know what he was missing! She thought triumphantly, though still, inside, her heart twisted a little, wished she was grinning into ruby eyes instead of blue, but she wasn't going to let a moment of this night get spoiled by the Iron Dragon Slayer, no, he'd had his chance…

Which was along the lines the man himself was thinking as he slipped silently out of sight, dropping into shadows before Levy and Farron emerged from his office. Gajeel had heard every word, caught the powerful scent of Levys arousal heavy even outside the office with its door partially open. Knew Farron wasn't seducing the script mage...it was the other way around and that...left him feeling like the wind had been kicked out of him.

He'd come looking for her, to try and talk to her, seen her go upstairs like she did most every day, knew she'd been working with Farron, helping him handle the substantial amount of work that needed to be done clearing all the claims against the guild.

Hell he himself had gotten notice from the Magic Council that some charge still pending in the courts about him wrecking some shit a couple of years ago with team Natsu had been dropped, he hadn't even known about the damn issue in the first place because the old man tended to just bury that crap instead of clear it up.

He'd come up here to try and talk to her, and instead, found her climbing on top of Farron, kissing another man, propositioning another man...

He reigned in his fury, choking on it, he had no right to be angry, not at Levy, not at Farron, he'd pushed her away, hadn't said more than a handful of words to her since then, what else did he expect? That she would pine over the loss long enough for him to get his shit back together? Maybe he'd hoped that but the reality was Levy was a young woman with her own feelings and a life to lead and she couldn't sit around waiting endlessly for him.

He watched Levy follow Farron out of his office, saw her press against his back as he locked his door, her hands gripping the mans thighs so she could pull herself against him. They left and he followed them, to Kalebs house a couple blocks from the guild, watched them go in and even contemplated following but he caught Farrons eye more than once, knew the man was aware of him, he was a sound mage, had probably heard Gajeel come up the stairs, probably heard him fucking breathing.

Farron didn't know about Gajeels interest in Levy though, had no idea, so even if he did know exactly who had followed them, he'd not know why. Gajeel could only stand outside in the cold evening air and watch Levy retreat into the big house, groping and laughing, kissing and touching...another man.

Farron shut the door and Levy slammed him back against it, hands fisted in the wool of his vest by his shoulders so she could pull the tall man down into her reach. He didn't resist drank in her rough kisses, hands resting on her hips while she practically climbed him like a tree, got her legs around him and shoved her hands into his soft dark golden hair, wishing it was black.

"Mmm, Levy…" He mumbled against her mouth and she tensed, she was struggling with the image of Gajeel, trying so hard to banish him from her thoughts, from her body, from her heart and just enjoy being with a tall sexy man she barely heard him.

He pulled back, looking at her with those stunning deep blue eyes. "Levy...you're not into this...you don't want to be with me…" He said softly, keeping his eyes on hers though he was tempted to look up as Kaleb vanished into the den from where he'd been standing in the hallway. His brothers voice still rang in his head…

That's Gajeel out there who followed you two here, the mans all but in love with that girl, everything with Lucy got in his way and he's wanting another shot at her if you'll get your ass out of their way….

Farron had inwardly cursed, but it made sense, something had been bringing sad looks and drawn out sighs from his little assistant for as long as she'd been working with him. Now he knew why, and he also knew for certain it wasn't him she wanted to be with, he was standing in for the man outside.

Alright smartass, you're the great Guildmaster, what do we do to fix this? He demanded. Kalebs mental laugh had him struggling to keep his irritation with his brother from showing to the little script mage still in his arms gaping up at him in shock.

Hang on, give me a minute, putting ideas into the heads of Dragon Slayers is a pain in the ass, Thank Gods I've had Cristoff and Emi to practice on

And what do I do with Levy while your working on the Dragon? He demanded.

Fuck I don't know, you're the Ambassador, so good with words and bullshitting, stall for time…. Came Kalebs response.

Levy was gaping at him "I...yes I do...Farron...how could you think that?!" She demanded, blushing crimson. Gods here she was kissing the hell out of the man, grinding her crotch against him and he's telling her she's not into it? She wasn't...he was right...but damn it all she was putting on a hell of a good show and what kind of man doesn't get hard with a woman rubbing herself on his dick?! If she could just get them both naked and in bed she had no doubts at all this big Biscan would make her forget all about Gajeel Redfox and that was ultimately what she was after.

"Since I met you, you've been sighing, getting these far off looks that were all sad in your eyes, don't claim you haven't Levy, I'm a diplomat, I notice people, how they behave, every tiny nuance of their body language, and while you've been doing all you could to get me excited? Aside from when we first kissed in my office? You haven't had any excitement of your own happening, I can HEAR that." He said firmly.

Levys eyes had gotten wider and wider as he'd talked and her face redder too.

"Plus he has a brother who's a mind reader." Came a humor filled voice and Levy gasped jerking her head around to see Master Kaleb standing in the hallway behind her, she would have fallen to the floor had Farron not had a good grip on her, the Ambassador set her on her feet then but wouldn't move when she reached for the door.

"Ah ah, not so fast now Miss McGarden, I may not be stepping into the role of your lover tonight but I am still, very much, your friend. Now, you're upset over somebody, wouldn't be a certain metal specialized Dragon Slayer would it?" Farron asked and Levy gaped at him, looking to Kaleb who shrugged smiling and tapping his temple.

Oh Gods, he can read minds, he knows I was thinking about Gajeel while I was making out with his brother….she almost slapped her own forehead when Kaleb winced and snickered shaking his head.

"Doesn't matter Levy, Farron pretty much knows anyway, he didn't become the Ambassador he is without being able to figure people out. Now...you have some seriously strong feelings for the Iron Dragon Slayer...and should probably...hmm...hah, Ok...Farron…" Kaleb smirked and sent images to his brother of the Dragon Slayer neatly breaking into their second floor spare bedroom, his eyes widened then the sound mage was chuckling.

Levy was wide eyed gaping at Kaleb and his brother now "I...what...I do not have…" Levy was horrified, humiliated, Gods she had propositioned Farron Pradesh, gotten him to say yes, followed him to his home fully intending to spend the night fucking his brains out, trying to use him to get Gajeel out of her head, heart, everything and it was all coming apart and she was confused and needed to GO.

Uh oh, girl is breaking...shit...I'll calm her, you uh...she's kind of sold on this whole fucking you to help her get over Gajeel thing Farron… Kalebs voice in his head made Farron remember to keep Levy blocked from opening the front door.

"Look...I...I'm sorry, I don't know what you two are thinking...I.." She heaved a sigh and leveled her hazel eyes on Farrons baby blues. "I Just wanted some good sex tonight to help me put some things out of my mind ok? Thought that no emotional entanglements sounded fucking nice!" She said glaring at him.

Kiss her...I have an idea…Kaleb said and Farron trusted him, always had and hopefully after this still would. He reached out and cupped Levys chin, tipping her face up "I did say yes...forgive me, all my talk about Fiorans making things dramatic and here we go doing it...I can help you forget anything for a while…" He said softly and Levy leaned into his touch, his silky voice, the way the words just flowed into her caressing her made her lids heavy and she strongly remembered this was what she wanted, to forget, to lose herself in a night of pleasure.

Kaleb almost winced when Levy embraced the little idea he was pushing into her head, the reminder that this what what she'd come for so strongly she about ripped it from him as he watched her lean into his purring brother and Farron slid a hand into her hair and kissed her. Her mind blanked and Kaleb left her to Farrons capable hands to distract while he gently, gingerly urged Gajeel to keep coming for Levy.

This was dangerous, and Kaleb knew it, he had two Dragon Slayer siblings, he knew playing with the instincts and drives behind that magic was very dangerous. Gajeel was powerful, and his dragon had been seriously fucked with and held back longer than the others, when it got loose...if Levy was his mate...Gods he was grateful she'd chosen Farron in a may not be working as a mage but if he were Farron would be top ranked, he was powerful, and he trained hard, was incredible in a real fight and Kaleb knew he'd seen some bad ones, he took the dangerous diplomatic jobs so others in the consulate didn't have to. He'd just snatched the trip to Enca before it was given to their father for example because he knew the woman who requested the Ambassador had every intention of getting more demanding about getting her hands on their father.

So, if Gajeel Redfox was going to be pulling his love interest who could very well be his mate away from an encounter with a man? It was good it was Farron...and himself, because Kaleb was no slouch, though dealing with a lust driven Dragon Slayer of Gajeels caliber didn't appeal to him in the least.

They had to spur it though, Gajeel was riddled with doubts, the mans mind was swirling through massive lists of reasons he didn't deserve the little script mage, how he'd hurt her, ignored her, wasn't educated on her level, knew he was a foul mouthed basic drives sort of man while Levy was refined, educated and deserved someone on her level.

Kaleb was endlessly batting aside doubts as they rose in the mans mind trying to help him stay focused. He needed to talk to Levy, needed to as soon as possible, and breaking into the guildmasters house and interrupting her while she was with another man...Kaleb just fanned the dragons views on that lightly, not too much, because they did include killing Farron and himself and an image of Gajeel fucking Levy while covered in the blood of his vanquished rivals was one Kaleb wrenched from the dragon willingly taking the sharp stabbing retribution the powerful soul lanced into him for it.

Gajeel was coming...they had to trigger jealousy and protectiveness enough to get him to act when he got downstairs and Kaleb just prayed as he told Farron all of this that it didn't result in some battle that would end in him having to pay for major home repairs. Cristoff was in Bosco for another two days and Wendy was good, getting better all the time, but he didn't want him and Farron spending too much time in the infirmary.

Levy had pulled Farrons hair free of its tie, had her hands buried in the thick golden locks and Farron got his arms around her, lifted her off the ground and up so he could maintain their deep heated kissing without bending down anymore and carried her to the den with Kaleb leading the way.

Gods he was half wishing he could just follow through with this, maybe Gajeel would stay upstairs long enough for him to get a nice round in with the woman...Kalebs sharp reminder that wasn't going to happen though made him focus back on the task at hand, pleasuring the little script mage, getting her whole mind and body just hazed out into lust so deep she'd be halfway there when Gajeel arrived.

Both brothers knew having her in the den would confine her scent, and flood the room with it, there was a fire going, and Farron dropped down to his knees on the thick fur in front of the hearth, tipping his head to the side so Levy could suck on the spot she'd latched onto on his neck while he met Kalebs eyes.

"How you feel about two Boscans Levy? Since you've jumped into this...you want to forget everything? Let me and Kaleb help...you won't be sorry…" He whispered into her ear and Levy shuddered, glancing back and seeing Kaleb she nodded, Gods...Cana was going to hate her forever...the idea...having these two...Gajeel who? It had to work...she smiled shyly and reached a hand out toward the Wizard saint who slid down to his knees behind her, warm hands sliding up her thighs as Farrons closed over her breasts and Levy groaned, leaning back into Kalebs chest, tipping her head back when his hand guided her chin and moaning as Kalebs lips sealed over hers while Farrons hands worked her breasts, his warm lips working along her collarbone.

Gajeel slid silently down the stairs and stopped dead in his tracks as the scent of Levy...no...not just the usual paper, ink and Jasmine he associated with Levy...no...this was Levy aroused….he growled, feeling his cock strain against his pants, his pupils dilated as he drew in deep breaths...she was with Farron...and Kaleb...he smelled both men…

Another growl rumbled up in him, they wouldn't….Levy wouldn't want that would she? Gods if she was his mate though, and the pull to him was strong, the need to mate could make her….shit...this was his fault...he had to move, had to...what? Gods what was he going to do barge in on some three way Levy had walked into, he'd heard her proposition Farron, the guy had not initiated that, hell he hadn't even listed himself as a possibility when they had been talking Levy had done it.

She would hate him...she'd be furious….and what if Farron and Kaleb wouldn't back off? What was he going to take on a Wizard saint and an Ambassador? The answer came quick and the lust in his veins was fed further by the desire for violence if thats what it took. He edged down the hallway following the heady scent of Levy then hearing her, moaning, whimpering and he hesitated again, his dragon roared up in him though, driving him to round the corner. There she was, between the two tall Boscans, she had opened Farrons shirt and her fingers still gripped it though she had shoved it down his arms to his elbows, Farron was kissing her chest, Levy tipped back against Kalebs chest, their mouths locked together.

The growl that rose up from him he barely noticed as the Dragon inside him hit him like a storm MINE..Kill the rivals, take the mate!

Kalebs pale eyes snapped to him and Farron pulled back, both men looking at him as he crouched to attack, another growl coming from him that brought Levys head up from where it had been tipped back against Kalebs shoulder.

"Ga….Gajeel…." She breathed, half lidded eyes drawing his from the other two males both of which hastily withdrew, backing away from Levy and leaving her kneeling on the thick fur in front of the fireplace. Seeing them back off, eyes down not meeting his sent satisfaction through his dragon and let it focus fully on the woman with the kiss swollen lips and lust drowned hazel eyes. He moved swiftly to her, dropping to his knees in front of her and she reached for him, stunned, wondering if she was so far gone over the Iron Dragon she was now fully imagining Farron had just turned into him.

But it was crimson eyes that met hers, and there was no mistaking the heavy mane of black hair instead of gold or platinum, the firelight sparking over the piercings on his face. "Levy…" He breathed in a semi growl…"You're my mate Levy…." he couldn't even stop himself, her hands were on his face and he was pulling her up against him, snarling when the scents of Farron and Kaleb came to him on her skin. A quick glance told him they had left them, were no longer in the room they were in so he focused everything on the blue haired woman who was caressing his face, staring up at him in wonder.

"Your mate...oh Gajeel…" She breathed leaning up and he dove down to meet her,lips crashing into hers and coherent thought was just gone from him then.

Levy felt a moment of fear rise through her at the deep growl that rose through the man in her arms now, the scent of sun warmed metal, masculine and blood warming wafted over her, somewhere her mind vaguely wondered where Farron and Kaleb had gone but the rest of her just didn't care, she was lost in those ruby eyes, drowning in the heated kiss, Gods she could have slept with both of those brothers and they wouldn't have eased her need for Gajeel, her whole body responded to his rough touch, as clawed fingers tore away her clothes she just arched her body toward him, trusting him completely, needing him too much to doubt or wonder or worry.

She felt iron scales hard under her fingers as she slid them over him, tugged at his shirt and smiled when he yanked it impatiently off of him so her hands could finally touch warm skin. "Please….please Gajeel…" She whimpered, writhing beneath him as his lips tasted her skin, his hot tongue slid over the peak of a bared breast.

He couldn't answer her, his dragon had him, "Take me…" Levy breathed and his whole being came undone, her hands had already undone his belt and he shoved his pants down out of the way enough to free himself, barely able to wait long enough to slide his hand between her legs, finding her drenched and growling at her wanton moan at his touch before he pressed her thighs farther apart, moving between them, slid his hands under her ass and lifted her so he could plunge his long thick length into her in one hard smooth thrust.

Levy screamed at the intrusion, her cry mixing with his drawn out snarl but he couldn't stop, though Levy was wide eyed, her breath stolen from her, he was so much bigger than any man she'd ever been with, the length of him pushed so deep into her it almost hurt...almost… and she had no time to adjust before the Dragon slayer, growling, gripped her rounded cheeks as he pulled back then pulled her into his thrust "AAHH! Ga...Gajeel!" Levy cried out and her fingers gripped wildly at the thick fur beneath her as he started pumping into her forcefully, every thrust was jarring and by the fourth her whole body came apart in pleasure, an orgasm raking through her but he didn't stop, kept going, bottoming out inside of her as his hips worked and his powerful arms strained, muscles bulging as he pulled her into every thrust over and over.

The coil inside of her didn't have time to reset, snapping then rewinding harder, faster than she could keep up with, and she arched her body into his, gasping raggedly, letting out a gutteral groan as he lifted her onto him, bringing her up off the fur and long fangs teased her skin as her breath was driven out of her with powerful bone jarring thrusts, he was so deep, pushing into her so hard, his thick length stretching and rubbing every single place inside her that could send ripples of intense pleasure through her body and it was sending almost more sensation than she could process sailing through her.

"Ah! Gajeel...I can't...I.." She gasped out and he growled, the sound was the breaking point, white exploded over her vision and she came again, this time though he came with her, she felt him filling her, thick and hot and the pressure of it added to hot intense his depth inside her was, she didn't even feel his fangs sink into her skin. All she knew was sensation, her body overcome with pleasure and the incredible feelings of him, his presence suddenly coming in line with her, the strength of him, his magic flowing into her like molten metal in her veins, she felt it, his deep need for her, how much he cared, how desperately he wanted to make her his, make her happy, protect her, provide for her, all the draconic parts and all the things unique to Gajeel all of it crashed over her.

She wasn't alone, Gajeel was drowning himself in it all, Levys need for him, her..love...dear sweet Gods she was already in love with him and he felt it, felt how hurt she'd been when he'd backed away, but now, now she knew, knew he was hers and her joy over that washed away his remorse, caught him up, so as he pressed weak shaky kisses to her lips and face he was smiling. She was his...his mate...

"Ok...so...now I'm horny as hell and we're out of a house until Gajeel regains a brain and thinks to take Levy home to finish mating with her…" Farron sighed, adjusting his cloak around his shoulders still buttoning up his shirt. Kaleb chuckled, walking alongside him "Yeah well, worth it, they're doing just fine, his brain has decidedly checked out for the time being but so has hers, the guilds still open, lets get something to drink and I'll have Thane get us a suite at the hotel." Kaleb suggested, no better off than his older brother.

Both men had gone longer than either had since they inducted without sex and working Levy up? Setting that whole thing up so Gajeel would be driven to just jump in and they wouldn't be dealing with some dragged out days of a pair that needed to just fuck each others brains out and mate already disrupting the guild. It had left both of them worked up and wishing Vander weren't in Bosco with Cristoff and Freed and those who had helped handle that because if he were around, it was a certainty he'd know where they could go.

"There are nightclubs…" Farron said suddenly and Kaleb hesitated, he'd been trying to adjust himself wishing he'd not been wearing tight jeans when that whole thing had happened.

"The Fox and Fairy...no joke...Bickslows favorite club until he and Cobra mated and I've heard Cana say it's the best in Magnolia…" Kaleb said suddenly and the brothers smiled at each other, altering their path and heading toward the market district knowing the club was in that part of town. Kaleb drew a breath, ok...it was really out of character, a prominent Ambassador and successful Guildmaster and Wizard Saint going to prowl a nightclub looking for simple one night stands? But desperate times called for desperate measures….
