Chapter 10

Orange

Gajeel woke up with his dick rock hard. Remembering the events of last night, he looked down at a sleeping Levy, who had her ass pressed against him. He wanted her again. He couldn't help it. He wanted so much of her, all the time, and it felt amazing to finally have her.

He glanced down at her neck and saw the mark. His mark. It just looked like a snake bite, but it made him feel….at home. He gently kissed the mark as he rubbed her hips, waking her up. She moaned sleepily at his touch, urging him to do more.

"Tell me what you want," he whispers as he licks her earlobe.

She didn't speak, instead, she rolled over and pushed him flat on his back so she could get on top of him.

"Gihi," he smirked as he watched Levy lustfully.

She grinds her clit up and down his shaft as he holds onto her ass to support her.

"Fuck, Levy. You're so wet."

"This is all for you," she says looking into his eyes, licking her lips.

Gajeel didn't want to wait. He sat up so that their chests were together, lining her up with his dick.

"Fuck me," she whispered into his ear.

That drove Gajeel wild. He shoved her down onto his member causing her to scream his name in ecstasy. He stood up, with her still attached to his waist and pounded into her pussy.

Levy didn't know she had a wild side until Gajeel came around. She would find herself doing things she's never done when she thought about him. She didn't think she would like it rough, and yet, here he was. Fucking the shit out of her. And she enjoyed every moment.

She screamed his name over and over. She could never get enough of him, and he knew that. He relished the thought. And that's what drove him.

Levy was about to cum. She thoroughly enjoyed this position. He dominated her and she loved it. She held on to his neck for dear life as she came, driving Gajeel to his orgasm. He shoved his dick deep inside her walls, and held her close, groaning loudly as they came together.

Lily was pretty frustrated. He was glad that his companion was finally happy, but they woke the poor cat up in the middle of the night and this morning with their activities. He kicked himself realizing it was probably going to be like that forever now and it was his fault. 'I should just mind my own business next time.' But it was either deal with an angry, sexually frustrated Gajeel, or listen to he and Levy fuck all hours of the night. He honestly didn't know what was worse.

When he was rudely woken up this morning, he brushed it off and decided to go get some food for the gang. He came back only to hear them going at it again in the shower. 'I may have to find my own place to live when we finish this job.' He thought. The water stopped, and the cat was relieved.

Gajeel put Levy down and she almost fell to the floor, her legs like jello. He chuckled as she blushed, and picked her up groom-style and carried her to the bathroom. He sat her down on the edge of the tub and started the shower, allowing her to get in first. She grabbed his hand and pulled him in with her, his dick getting hard again.

"Again?" She laughed as she gripped it in her hand.

"I can if you can," he smirked.

After round two, they actually showered to get ready for the day.

"I want to get a head start on translating, today," Levy says, stepping out of the tub. "Lily and I looked at the map and we noticed it's only a day's worth of travel. Clair was just accounting for the time it's going to take to translate."

"But that leaves you with today," Gajeel says.

"I know! I feel so overwhelmed. So much to do in so little time. I honestly don't think I'll be able to translate four and a half tablets today! Especially if they're as hard as the first one, which I have yet to even finish." Levy sighs.

"Don't worry, Shrimp," Gajeel says giving her a hug. "We'll get it done somehow."

They exit the bathroom and head to the living room, where Lily was waiting with their food.

"Lily!" Levy exclaims, suddenly blushing. They had forgotten that the exceed was with them and probably heard everything. She looked down, unable to look at the animal.

"Don't worry about it," Lily said, anticipating the apology. He knew they forgot about him, and he was going to say something, that is, until he saw how happy Gajeel was. Lily didn't think he'd ever seen him that happy.

"I got us food," Lily said, motioning toward the table.

The two were incredibly hungry, so they ended up finishing the food pretty quickly, which was a mistake on Levy's part. Now all she wanted to do was go back to sleep!

"I think I should go on a walk, the food made me sleepy and I really need to work on translating today. Hopefully the fresh air will wake me up," she says, standing up. "Thank you so much for the food, Lily!"

"You're welcome. I wanted to get a feel for the area anyway," Lily said.

"I'll come with you, Levy," Gajeel says, standing up. "If we're gonna be here all day, I wanna scout the area to make sure no one else shows up."

The pair walk hand in hand to explore the area around them.

Levy and Gajeel returned to the cottage refreshed and ready to go. Levy gathered the tablets and set them down, ready to begin her work.

"The area is secure," Gajeel says to Lily. "I didn't find or smell anything unusual."

"That's good," Lily says.

"I had Levy place enchantments around the cottage just in case anyone tries to get in."

A few hours had gone by and Levy was getting restless. She was usually at peace when she was studying, but something was bothering her. She'd just finished translating the first tablet and noticed something strange. The enchantments on this tablet were extremely powerful. 'Now I understand why they want these so badly. If the other four are anything like this one, they'd have enough power to wipe a whole town.'

Lily, noticing there was something bothering her, trots up to the table and examines Levy's work. "This stuff looks pretty serious."

"These tablets hold information that could destroy a town as big as Magnolia and then some," Levy says.

"That explains why the enemy keeps going after them."

"In my opinion, they won't stop until they're dead or until the tablets are destroyed. My question is, why not destroy these?" Levy ponders.

"They may have proved useful in battles in the past," Lily says.

"Yes, but why hold onto something so dangerous? You can't let this fall into the hands of just anyone," Levy more or less thought out loud. 'Who is this 'Kaomi Rin', and why are they trusted with the tablets?'

Levy stood up to stretch and get some air. It was the middle of the day, and she still had four tablets to go. Outside, she saw Gajeel gathering wood for the fireplace. Seeing him put her mind at rest. He walked up to her and gave her a hug.

"What's on your mind, Shrimp?"

"I don't know, I think I just needed a break from translating for a few minutes. They were getting a bit intense," Levy says, her face buried in his chest.

"They're that powerful?" He asks.

"Mm-hmm," Levy nodded. "I finished the first tablet. There's a few spells on it that are strong enough to level a town bigger than Magnolia."

"What? Why not destroy them?" He asked, confused.

"That's what I was thinking. I wonder what's so trustworthy about Kaomi Rin."

Later in the evening, Levy surprisingly had gotten through almost three full tablets. She noticed that they were sort of similar in how they were written, so she picked up on the wording quickly. She would be able to finish the fourth tablet within an hour. 'I understand why Clair said three days now. It gets easier after the first.' Levy smiled at the work she'd completed.

Lily and Gajeel had fallen asleep on the couch after lunch, leaving Levy distraction free, until something caught Levy's attention outside of the window. 'Did I just see…?' She thought to herself as she stood up and walked over to the window. She saw it again, but it was quick; like a flash, possessing her to go outside.

She went outside and walked the perimeter of the cottage, but found nothing. 'So I'm going crazy?' She turned around to walk back inside until she noticed a drastic shift in energy. It was as if everything had lost almost all of its color. She looked around but didn't see the cause.

Levy nearly had a heart attack when someone grabbed her from behind and spun her around.

"We need to go. NOW," Gajeel had noticed the energy change and woken up. He alerted Lily, who started packing things immediately.

Levy was genuinely confused, but if Gajeel thought it was dangerous, then chances are, it probably was. She nodded her head quickly and went to go grab her things when a figure appeared right in front of her and tried to grab her. Gajeel was quick, though, as he swiftly snatched her up and blended in with the shadows. He looked around for the figure that appeared, but it was gone.

Gajeel slipped back inside the cottage with Levy and saw Lily prepared with their things.

"What was that?" Lily asked, concerned.

"I don't know, but whatever it is, it's after Levy," Gajeel said through gritted teeth. "The damn thing almost took her."

"Most likely, they're from the same group of thieves that took us yesterday," Lily said.

"I'm sorry guys, this is my fault," Levy said. "I'm the one who went outside."

"Why did you go outside?" Lily asked.

"I…I thought I saw…"

A loud rumble came from outside. "You think these lousy enchantments can hold me?!" A voice said as it laughed uproariously. Lily and Gajeel prepared for battle.

"Think again." The voice said menacingly as he snapped his fingers. The ground surrounding the cottage had cracked in several places, thus breaking Levy's enchantments. She looked outside and saw flames surrounding the cottage. There was no way they were getting out of there. At least, not through the front door.

"Alright, Levy," Gajeel started. "Place enchantments inside the cottage, it won't stop him, but it'll slow him down, just in case he gets in. Keep the tablets hidden and safe and STAY. INSIDE." He said firmly. "Lily and I will go out and try to get rid of this dick."

Levy nodded and watched as he and Lily exited the cottage.

As much as Levy wanted to hate his words, she knew they were for her own safety. These assholes wanted her, and she was in no condition to fight. At least not yet. She was nervous, but someone needed to keep an eye on the tablets. She carefully placed her strongest enchantments inside the cottage and around all the windows and openings.

She was in the kitchen when she noticed a door on the floor. It was barely noticeable but with her needing to sweep the cottage, she easily saw it. She lifted the handle and saw a ladder leading underground. 'Maybe it's a shelter?' She thought at she hatched an idea. She ran over to the living room table and grabbed the tablets. She brought them over to the underground entrance and started down the ladder with them.

When she got to the bottom, she couldn't see anything. She used her script magic to illuminate the small area.

Solid Script: LIGHT

"A tunnel?" Levy says, looking around. The tunnel looked to have been there for several years. Maybe as an escape route?

Levy quickly sets the tablets aside and hurries up the ladder to grab their things. She figured she could have everything ready for them to make a quick escape if they needed to.

After she finished putting all their luggage in the tunnel, she rushed upstairs to check on Gajeel and Lily. As she peered through the window, she saw nothing. All was silent.

Levy wanted to go outside, but Gajeel's words stung in her head. 'STAY. INSIDE.' She didn't want to let him down and get taken again, but what if he was in trouble? What if they needed her help?

"Your friends are gone," the voice said. It sounded like it was all around her. 'B-But you're outside…' She thought while she looked around nervously.

"Don't bother looking for them. They're unimportant. It's you that I want," He said.

Levy turned on her heels and hightailed it to the tunnel as the voice laughed.

She sighed a breath of relief when she made it there safely.

"Levy!"

"Gajeel! Lily!" Levy said, extremely relieved as she saw the two coming from further down the tunnel.

"You got the tablets?" Gajeel asked, bluntly.

"U-Uh, yes, right here," Levy motions toward a bag resting on top of the rest of the luggage. Gajeel grabs the bag and starts heading down the tunnel.

"I'll carry these," he says gruffly.

Levy was confused, as he was acting strange, but she didn't pay attention to it. She just wanted to get to safety. She picked up their things and followed behind them quietly.
