I barely had time to prepare for the fight that was sure to come, one second Gajeel was by the door and the next he smashed into Laxus, the table we were sat at now a pile of wooden splinters on the floor. As Gajeel slammed into Laxus I felt his hand press against me and shove me into the awaiting arms of Lily, who had rushed to my side.
Laxus was pinned against the wall with Gajeel holding his arm, now transformed into a deadly sharp sword at his throat. Electricity began to crackle throughout the guildhall, it made my skin prickle as I watched on in horror.
"I was only asking your little pet a question; you got a problem with her talking with other people you overgrown can opener?!" Laxus snarls in Gajeel's face, pressing his face forward causing a small trickle of blood to flow from where the tip of the sword met his skin.
"ENOUGH!" bellows Erza, who has requipped into her Black Wing Armour and is rushing to the two males to end the fight.
"Gajeel, stop! He isn't worth it." I yell, as I yet again find myself trapped in the strong grip of Lily. I want to reach him, every part of me knows that I need to touch him, and it will be alright, but I am stuck fast.
"She isn't my pet, you scumbag! If you were just talking then why could I smell her discomfort from outside? What the fuck were you asking her? Tell me!" Gajeel explodes at the smirking mountain of a mage. Laxus is one of our strongest wizards, why is he letting Gajeel trap him like this? This doesn't feel right, what does he have planned?
As Erza reaches the fight, Laxus inclines his head, and I can see him whisper something into Gajeel's ear. Erza grips Gajeel's shoulder and suddenly it is like a bomb was detonated, the scarlet haired mage is thrown across the room from the impact of the power now coursing through the Iron Dragon Slayer.
Screaming for release, I watch in terror as Gajeel begins to transform into his Dragon Force state, it is clear whatever Laxus said, it wasn't what he wanted to hear. People are rushing from all around the room to stop the madness, Gajeel is powering up a devastating attack and Laxus is just letting him whilst he begins to laugh maniacally.
"Lily to me!" Erza commands, Lily immediately releases me and flies towards the fight with Erza in tow. "Macao get the restraints and hurry!"
The level of power radiating from Gajeel is incredible, its stronger than I have ever experienced, and I know I should be scared, but honestly, I can't help but look on in awe, my stomach flutters with some unspoken feeling of desire.
It takes the combined strength of Erza, Lily and Macao to remove Gajeel from Laxus, who slumps to the ground as he continues to laugh and sneer at the room. As Erza and Lily finally manage to bring Gajeel's arms behind his back, Macao snaps the restraints on his wrists and it's like the power has been sucked from the hall.
Movement to my side catches my attention. Mirajane is moving from her position at the bar to the storerooms out back, her face is set with a look of pure rage and she appears to be fighting her transformation into Satan Soul. With one final look at Laxus, who is now howling with laughter on the ground, she leaves the room.
"I think you need some time to cool off, wouldn't you agree Gajeel?" asks Erza. Gajeel's head is slumped forward, his breathing harsh and uneven. She begins to lead him by the elbow towards the stairs down to Fairy Tail's mostly unused dungeon cells.
I scramble forward on shaky legs, "Gajeel!" I call out, my hand reaching out to touch him. He refuses to lift his head; he shrugs away from my touch and I feel like my stomach has bottomed out.
Wendy appears by my side and tugs me back, I hear Carla say, "Give him some time Levy, it seems as if his pride has been hurt." I allow Wendy to lead me into an empty booth as I stare blindly at the table before me, I feel hollow, but it is quickly being replaced with a feeling of irritation and annoyance.
"This isn't my fault! Why did he reject my touch?" my mind is a whirl with the chaos of the last few minutes. Lily is hauling Laxus into the infirmary, the blonde man still racked with hideous laughter, his cruelty disgusts me. Others are starting to drift into the guildhall now, no doubt attracted by the magic and violence. The volume in the room starts to increase as the questions come thick and fast, I hear the words, but I cannot respond as I'm trapped in my own thoughts.
Standing swiftly, I hastily make my way to the stairs leading down. Wendy calls after me but thankfully does not follow, I have to see him. I need to know that he is alright and that we are ok, the image of him shrugging away my touch is seared into my brain and I cannot sit idly by whilst I know Gajeel is down here.
The air is stale in the small dungeon area, Fairy Tail has rarely made use of this space, although I remember times in the past where Erza would separate Natsu and Gray in the cells as their fighting got more and more out of hand, especially in their early teenage years.
The lighting is low but as I quietly slip into the space, I can see a hunched figure in the furthest away cell, a mass of unruly black hair hides Gajeel's face from me, he looks so defeated and my heart hurts.
"Ya know it's pretty stupid to think I can't sense you there." Gajeel's deep voice rumbles out, "I could track you anywhere if I wanted."
Sighing I approach his unlocked cell and slump on to the bench opposite him with a huff.
"What the hell was all that?" I ask quietly.
"You know what it was Levy, he was about to touch you and I could feel your discomfort a mile away! That bastard was due far more than he got there if you ask me." Gajeel answers angrily and I am taken aback by his sudden harshness.
"I'll admit that Laxus was definitely in the wrong, and he knew exactly what he was doing. It has something to do with Mira and I'll be damned if I know what is going on between those two," I openly muse, chewing my lip.
"But -" states Gajeel, "I know there is a but coming, give it to me."
"Hmm, you are getting more and more perceptive Stupid Gajeel. I must be starting to rub off on you." I chuckle.
"I wish you would rub off on me," he mumbles under his breath.
What an interesting idea, I quirk my brow at the comment but pretend not to have heard that particular request.
"But you didn't need to go full nuclear on him, did you? I can fight my own battles," I sigh, although that last part has the nasty voice in my head laughing, "What would you have done if Gajeel hadn't arrived?"
~.~
How can I make her understand my need to always ensure her safety? When I think back to less than an hour ago, sensing her scent changing as I approached Fairy Tail and knowing that she was in some kind of danger or trouble, I flipped. It was bad enough seeing that fucking jerk trying to touch my Levy, but when he whispered in my ear the question, he had asked her, my mind bottomed out and the beast was fully in control.
The rage that had built inside my head as the beast thrashed with his desire for bloodshed was overwhelming, he had raged against me as well as the Lightning Dragon Slayer before me. His shouts and demands that this was partly my fault for not marking her and ensuring that no other Dragon would dare go near her was crippling and it was what led to my attempted transition into Dragon Force as I let the beast consume me almost fully.
Thank goodness for the quick thinking of Erza, he needed to thank her properly, but he would see to that later. If not for the Anti Magic restraints that now resided on his wrists, the entire Fairy Tail guild would likely have been only rubble by now. Erza had allowed the restraints to be removed from one wrist, but only to allow him to position his arms in front of his body instead of behind his back.
I'm not ready to have this conversation yet, damn that blasted fire brained idiot for not being at Lucy's apartment as he should have been. None of this would have happened if he hadn't taken off this morning in the hopes of speaking with Natsu regarding his current unwanted situation. He was already fuming with having to talk to someone else about it, but for it to have been a wasted attempt and ultimately led him to being locked up in the dungeon, it was enough to make him think up perfectly gruesome ways to end the Salamander's life for when he saw him next.
As I'm searching for something, anything to say to Levy, she interrupts my attempt by placing her hand on my thigh and shifting to sit on her knees before me. My heart rate spikes as her hand travels from my knee to hip and back again, what is she doing?
"Ok, let me ask you this instead," she whispers to me, there is a small v on her brow and a strange sadness in her gaze, "why did you refuse my touch earlier?"
Well, that's easy to answer, "I was ashamed, you deserve better than me." I answer honestly.
Wait, does she think I was rejecting her? "Levy, haven't you realised that there will never be anyone else for me?"
"Levy, you mean the world to me. I wasn't rejecting you if that's what your concern is," I raise my fingers to her face and tilt her chin up so she is looking at me, "and if I weren't in these damn chains, I would be happy to prove it to you."
Her fingers still on my leg for a mere second before they continue their journey along my muscled thigh, I stifle a groan as she slowly eases towards my groin.
"How about I prove it you instead then?" she says huskily, her eyes have taken on a sultry quality and a cute pink blush is spreading across her cheeks at her daring words.
Before I can reply, Levy stands and presses my back against the cold stone wall as she straddles my hips. I can't suppress the groan that rumbles up my throat as I feel her heat land directly on my groin, if only I didn't have these handcuffs on, I could tear those shorts from her and sink into her in seconds. I attempt to pull the chain apart to no avail; she giggles at my foolish attempt.
"Uh uh Gajeel, no touching allowed," Levy wags her finger at me, and I can't help but try to bite at the digit, earning me a gasp of surprise. She frowns at me then starts to grind her delicious body on mine, leaning in and whispering, "that was very naughty of you, especially when I am doing as you asked, you did want me to rub on you didn't you?"
She heard that, well I can't say I'm disappointed with the result. Levy's hot breath tickles my ear as she starts to kiss and nip her way down my neck, I lean my head back giving her full access to my throat. Her hands curl around my back and cling to my shoulders as she grazes my throat with her teeth, gasping as she bites down lightly on the skin, I wonder to myself, maybe she would be ok with a bite from me after all.
Levy finds my lips with her own and kisses me deeply, her tongue fights with my own for dominance and for once she wins, I can feel her triumphant smile against my mouth as she explores the tips of my fangs with her delicate tongue. This would normally send the beast into overdrive, but he is surprisingly quiet, maybe it's something to do with the Anti Magic restraints that are binding me.
As we part, Levy's hands skim the bottom of my vest, she pulls the material up with one hand and hooks it over the back of my neck, the fingertips of her other hand lightly trace the definition of my abs before swirling around each of my dark nipples in turn. She very gently tugs on the new metal bar that pierces my right nipple and I press my hips upwards at the pleasure of it, my pants are extremely uncomfortable from the pressure of my erection straining for freedom. Levy lets out a small moan as my hard on presses into her core.
Levy lifts from my lap and I growl in frustration as her warm presence is removed from me, "be quiet you big baby," she chastises. Her hand's part my legs so she can kneel between them, her mouth beginning to lave a path from my throat to my stomach, Levy stops at my nipples as she teases them with her dainty tongue before outlining every detail of the muscles of my stomach. My hands are clenched into tight fists and I can feel every muscle in my body is taut with tension from this pleasure she is giving me, I want her so badly.
My eyes widen as Levy grabs my belt and begins to unbuckle it, "Levy are you sure?" I ask frantically. She looks up at me and it is not my sweet little Levy looking back at me from between my legs, it's a vixen who will not be denied her want.
Her fingers make quick work on the belt and my pants, she pushes down my underwear to reveal my hard on, the cool air makes me hiss in a breath which turns into a deep groan as Levy places a chaste kiss on the tip.
I want to throw my head back at the ecstasy of this feeling, but I am hypnotised by Levy's eyes, as she slowly strokes my length and licks me her warm hazel eyes never leave mine, I feel like I am drowning in them.
This is torture, I am being tortured by this blue siren before me. All I want to do is touch her and I can't, she has made that perfectly clear. My hips buck involuntarily as her mouth starts to swallow my length; I am never going to last at this rate. Her teeth are sheathed behind her lips as she takes more and more of my shaft into her mouth and throat, her tongue caresses every sensitive spot whilst her hand tracks back up my body, her nails dragging against the skin.
Levy's cheeks are flushed a deeper pink and I can tell she is getting off on this, her scent is heady, and I want to stand and take her roughly, but I also want to allow her this moment, so I restrain myself against my baser desires. I must admit that it is damn sexy this attitude of Levy's, she is clearly loving having me at her mercy.
I almost come immediately as Levy unsheathes her teeth and they scrape along my now throbbing erection, "fuck Levy, don't stop!" I pant. Everything becomes more erratic, her nails mark my chest as I watch her legs press together on the floor, looking for pressure and friction. With one last shuddering moan I release down her throat, my head falling back as I pant heavily, my entire body is covered in a thin layer of sweat from controlling my urge to take her.
Levy sits back on her thighs and looks up at me like she's the cat that got the cream, she licks at her lips absently and that is enough to send powerful aftershocks spasming through me.
"Well, I think I made my point, don't you?" she asks cheekily.
"Don't think I'm done with you yet." I growl back as she stands from the floor.
Her eyes widen, but at that moment I pick up on a different scent and it's heading straight for us. It smells like a campfire and I know exactly who it is, he really does pick his moments.
"Levy, help me, that bloody Salamander is coming our way." I rush out.
I manage to get myself back into my underwear and pants with Levy's assistance in buckling the belt, her hands are shaking, and I can feel her anxiety swelling.
"Don't sweat it beautiful, it's just Natsu." I soothe gently.
Levy is seated opposite me once again when flame brain bursts into the dungeon, "Gajeel, what are ya doing in here?" he calls loudly.
As he enters my cell, he takes one look at me then Levy, a big smirk lights up his annoying face as he starts to chuckle, "What did I interrupt?" he asks, both hands now resting behind his head.
Looking down I realise we didn't have time to fix my vest which is still over my head, my upper body is fully exposed and the fresh red nail marks and bites on my throat certainly give away what we had been up to.
Levy has her face buried in her hands, and I can feel the heat coming off her from her embarrassment, this guy is such an idiot.
"If I weren't in these damn chains you would be through that wall right now!" I roar at the pink haired idiot.
"Calm down man, I heard you wanted to see me," he says with far too much enthusiasm. This has peaked Levy's curiosity as she is now peering at me through her fingers.
"Uh, yeah, can you maybe give us a minute? I'll come find you upstairs." I huff, avoiding eye contact with both Levy and Natsu.
Natsu wanders off grinning like a fool, "Nice to see ya Levy!"
"I am going to murder that boy before I get any useful information out of him!"
