For a short arse, Levy is walking damn fast. I can't quite tell if she is truly pissed at me or if this is some game, she is playing with me. She knew I was going to be speaking to Natsu, sure I didn't tell her what about, but how would she have guessed?
Groaning, I finally piece it together, that bloody bunny girl must have told her. "Why didn't I think of that sooner? I knew Lucy was there and we all know how much girls like to talk about this kind of crap, aw jeez I'm an idiot!"
Jogging to catch Levy up, I grip her arm to bring her to a halt.
"Are ya going to talk to me or were ya planning on marching back to the apartment in silence?" I ask, cocking my head to the side and playfully grinning at the petite girl before me. Her eyes angrily snap to mine, I can almost see the fire dancing in them, "yep, she is definitely pissed."
Levy's blue hair whips around her face as she raises her finger threateningly, "silence is what you are getting right now Mr, cause I don't trust myself to be able to speak calmly to you, you, you secret keeping idiot!" she hisses. Stretching up on her tip toes her wagging finger is inches from my face, and honestly, she is adorable when she is angry.
Sighing loudly to cover the smile that was trying to peek through, I place both hands behind my head and stare down at my angry little minx, "well I guess we are gonna have to be quick in getting home, if you aren't going to speak to me until we get there, aren't we?" I purr sweetly.
Her eyes widen and her mouth opens as she tries to say something further, but before the words can be said I have grabbed her body around the waist and hefted her over my shoulder. Levy explodes in anger, her tiny fists pummel my back, and her feet swing at my chest, I keep her balanced so that they can't quite reach me and chuckle at her fiery spirit.
"Let me down right this second! How dare you Gajeel! GAJEEL, ANSWER ME!" her muffled screams are getting louder as I stride along the street, staring down anyone that looks at us too long. I swat her butt playfully, but hard enough to make a satisfying smacking noise.
"Hey, you were the one that was going for the silent treatment, you can't change your mind now," I laugh at her incessant shrieking, I smack her butt again. Levy continues to rail at me but there is also a tiny wiggle of her body that I notice, "hmm, this could be interesting for later." I store that tidbit for a later date, seems like my little Levy likes her butt being smacked, how curious.
I make quick work of the journey; Levy quietens when she finally realises that I am not going to release her until we are home. Kicking open our door, I plop Levy down on her feet, steadying her until she finds her balance, she smacks my hands away and I can't help but laugh.
Throwing myself backwards into my favourite armchair, I gesture to Levy, "ok babe, hit me with it." I sigh, resigning myself to the coming onslaught. A low growl resonates in the back of my mind, seems like this 'Dragon' isn't happy that our mate is upset, "make this right, Dragon Slayer," he snarls at me.
"Where the hell do I start?" Levy snaps, she begins to pace back and forth in the space in front of me. I don't think I have ever witnessed Levy this worked up, it bothers me more than I care to admit that I am the source of her frustration.
"You have been keeping things from me and don't you dare tell me you haven't! Have you or have you not been dealing with a presence in your mind?" she asks, her arms are crossed over her chest. I can't help but notice that this has pressed her breasts together, my mind begins to wander, and my body fires up as I think of all the things, I could be doing to her instead of having this tedious conversation. The Dragon strongly supports my line of thought, he makes it clear that I should be doing something more proactive to soothe our Levy.
"Gajeel!" I am pulled from my devious daydreaming as Levy shouts, "my eyes are up here, do you ever think of anything else these days?" she continues her angry pacing, throwing her hands up in frustration, but I can see a pink blush creeping over her cheeks.
The growling in my mind is getting louder, I need to silence it so I can have this conversation without making more of a fool of myself. Moving swiftly, I wrap my hands around the angry mage and move to switch places with her so that she is now seated in the armchair. Levy looks down at me as I kneel on the floor by her legs, some of the anger has faded from her eyes thankfully. My fingers massage her bare legs, "I think that if we are going to have this conversation, lets mix business with some pleasure," I whisper, daring her to refuse me.
Pulling her favourite red shoes from her dainty feet, I lift one into my lap and begin rubbing it along her arch, seeking out any tension and soothing it away with the pressure of my fingers.
"Let's say I have become aware of a presence within my mind, I didn't know what it meant, and I wanted more information before I worried you with this knowledge," I explain whilst I swap feet and continue massaging the tightness away.
Levy's head falls back against the chair as she lets out a frustrated sigh, "you really are dense, who else do you know that could find out this information quicker than me? I could have helped you look for answers, rather than hiding it from me," the hurt is clear in her voice and my heart rips at the sound of it.
~.~
Gajeel's fingers continue to work dexterously on my feet, they find every knot, every tension point and soothe all the aches away as I contemplate what little he has said so far. I understand that he didn't want to worry me unnecessarily but from what Lucy told me, this is a big deal and definitely not something to be tackled alone.
His hand begins to glide up the inside of my leg, stopping every few inches to tenderly massage the flesh, it feels so good and it's making it hard to stay mad at him. "He is a sly one, going for distraction techniques already." Looking down at the man before me, I gasp in shock as I come eye to eye with Gajeel. His crimson eyes are alight, and I swear something else is staring at me behind his gaze, his heated look makes me squirm as my lower stomach flutters in nervous anticipation.
"Seems like my Dragon finally wants to say hello to you properly," Gajeel purrs as he leans up into my body, his hands brace either side of my face and his head dips to my neck, nuzzling into me. A deep rumble builds inside my mind, and I can feel a presence reaching out to me with claws that could easily shred me to pieces.
"Never fear me, I would protect you with my life, you are my mate," it whispers in my head. As the seemingly disembodied voice speaks, Gajeel visibly shudders and presses in closer to me. It's getting difficult to think straight, between Gajeel's body pressing into me in all the right places and this voice in my head telling me I'm his mate, it's overwhelming.
As if both Gajeel and the Dragon can read my thoughts, they speak as one, "Levy, let me love you," Gajeel is pressing hot kisses to my throat and I lose all resistance. Grabbing fistfuls of his hair, I pull his mouth to mine and kiss him with all the passion and love I can muster. Gajeel groans as I forcefully kiss him, biting on his lower lip I ask for entrance which he happily gives me. My body is burning for his touch, I grab his hand and press it to my breast, moaning as he takes the not-so-subtle hint and rubs my nipple through my shirt and bra.
"Gotta say Levy, I am really loving this side of you," Gajeel growls as he breaks our kiss. He grabs each side of my pink shirt and rips it apart; the buttons fly across the room and I hear the material ripping in places.
"That was new you jackass!" I playfully huff at him, before pulling him back to my hungry mouth.
"I'll buy you a new one," he groans out between kisses, "and a new bra," as he rips it apart in the middle, leaving my upper body fully exposed to him. His eyes feast on me and I can't help but blush, I move my hands to cover my chest, but he catches my wrists and growls "don't you dare cover yourself, especially with me."
In my mind, I can feel a soft caress and a voice whispers, "You are so beautiful."
Gajeel latches his hot mouth to my breast, his tongue swirls around the peak before his teeth grasp the flesh and he bites down, slight pain and so much pleasure spikes through my body and heads straight to my core. I cannot keep my moans from slipping out, my fingers twist in Gajeel's hair and I tug on it causing him to moan with his own pleasure.
After he has given both breasts adequate attention, he sits back to admire his work. My back is arched off the chair as I gave him more and more access to me, panting I gaze at him and roll my eyes at his annoyingly proud face.
Before I can think of a smart ass comment he has pulled my hips towards him so that they are at the very edge of the seat, his hand presses over my clothed core and his thumb rubs over my most sensitive area.
"I can feel your wetness through your clothes Levy," Gajeel purrs, his voice filled with a mixture of awe and hunger. Blushing madly, I squirm under his strong hand, moaning at his wicked words. My fingers shakily move to my zip and pull it down, my gaze never leaves Gajeel's, he makes me feel so wanton and needy.
Grasping the fabric, he pulls my shorts and panties down slowly, I know he is teasing me as I mewl at his damned slow pace. "Oh please!" I beg softly, I can feel my need coiling tightly deep in my stomach.
"Did you say something, I couldn't quite hear you?" Gajeel openly mocks me, and I decide some payback is in order. Lifting my foot, I place it against his groin and rub his prominent erection, I delight in the look of surprise and pleasure on his face.
Removing my foot from his crotch, Gajeel hisses through his teeth and rips the shorts and panties away from my body suddenly, "Oh no baby, this is all about you. I hurt you and I need to make things right." His large hand splays possessively over my now naked centre, making me shiver in anticipation.
Without warning, Gajeel grasps my thighs and throws my legs over his shoulders, his nose is pressed into the delicate flesh of my inner thigh as he inhales deeply causing a ripple of pleasure to shoot through my body.
"Ah!" I cry out as he presses his index finger to my slick entrance, teasing me once again by only moving in slightly before retreating, his quiet chuckle grates on me. Grinding my hips, I attempt to impale myself on his hand, but he is too quick and moves away. I pout at Gajeel, "you are being so wicked to me," I mewl, leaning forward to grasp his hair at the base of his neck and tugging to pull his face to mine for a harsh kiss. He groans at the almost bruising kiss but breaks it off far too quickly for my liking.
As I start to protest once more, his finger roughly thrusts into my core and a loud squeal of ecstasy escapes me, "I love the noises you make." Gajeel moans, his head falling back as he shifts on the floor. His thumb presses down lightly on my clit and I can already feel sparks of my release building, a second finger enters me and my hips buck as I am stretched to accommodate them.
A low growling is building in the room, casting my eyes down, Gajeel is staring hungrily at my core whilst he continues to stroke my inner walls and press down on my most sensitive spot, but I can hear the growling in my head also.
Swooping down on me, Gajeel sucks my clit into his hot mouth, and I am almost immediately undone, my toes dig into his back as I curse his deliciously evil actions.
"Let him take you Levy, let us mark you," I hear in my head, shaking me from my building release. Gajeel stills for a moment, an angry snarl rips from his throat.
His fingers quicken their pace, as he lifts his lips from me to say, "don't listen to him, now is not the time," Gajeel's free hand travels up my body until he reaches my breasts, he pinches each nipple in turn as I quickly spiral out of control.
"Come for me Levy!" he growls out, his eyes are pressed shut and a bead of sweat is trickling from his hairline, my mind scrambles to process what is going on, but I am too close to the edge of my own release and my focus slips away.
With a final thrust of his fingers, I release loudly, my body clamping around him and screaming his name to the heavens.
Gajeel gives my inner thigh a swift kiss as he removes himself from me, he stands quickly as I attempt to get my breathing back under control. He looks pained, with his hands clenched into fists and a scowl on his handsome face.
"Gajeel…" I call out to him, my hand reaching out to stroke his leg. He doesn't dodge my touch, but he shakes his head before looking down on me with a fearsome look, enemies would flee before it, but all it does is make me shiver in want.
"I need to get him back under control before we can continue this," he grits out, "he is going crazy right now, I hope you can't hear it." Gajeel strides quickly to the bathroom and I hear the shower being switched on.
Standing on shaky legs, I move slowly to the bedroom and grab one of Gajeel's shirts to cover my nakedness. Frowning at the battle he seems to be fighting right now, I pull the collar to my nose and inhale Gajeel's unique scent. Part of me desperately wants to follow him into the shower and finish what we started, but part of me is scared and I hate that part of me.
"Gajeel would never hurt me, but can we trust this Dragon?"
