"Erza."
Hearing Jellal saying her name with his husky voice, Erza slightly raised her head, tearing her gaze away from the pale pink mark on his neck she newly gave him and turning it to his face in the process. Her eyes went on searching for his and her heartbeat which had just slowed down a little bit sped up again immediately when they met and locked with each other.
Jellal's eyes were always wondrous to Erza when it came to their changing colors. She knew that when being exposed to sunlight, their irises which usually looked hazel would give out the color of golden brown instead. But the color of the irises would morph from hazel into olive green when light was weak and their surroundings were dark. She couldn't really decide which color she loved to see in his eyes more, for hazel was warm, golden brown was bright and olive green was calming.
Yet, as much as she appreciated those three colors for their respective attributes, Erza couldn't help but think that the previously unseen hue which was manifesting itself in Jellal's eyes in this very moment had outshone all of them. Having absorbed the soft silver light emanating from the full moon held up high in the dark blue sky, the irises which should appear olive in the darkness of the night were now giving out a brighter shade of green which reminded her of the beautiful emerald on the necklace she inherited from Grandma Hilda. She found it simply amazing and magnificent to see such color, so elegant and so gorgeous, deep yet lucid, shining in his eyes.
But what truly enchanted Erza had to be those emotions of Jellal expressed through his eyes.
The way Jellal looked at her was always shadowed by guilt and misery no matter how gentle, how caring and how loving his gaze was, which was something kept tearing her heart between sadness and happiness. Now, however, what she could see radiating from his eyes were no more than the great affection and deep desire he held towards her. And he was staring into her eyes with this undivided attention like she was the only existence in his world, like he was attempting to immerse her in the rawest and strongest feelings he had for her which he could no longer held back and suppressed.
Erza could feel the heat on her face was rising and the thought of turning her head to the side to hide the blush from Jellal's sight crossed her mind. But she stayed unmoving as she found herself unable to take her eyes off from his eyes. She couldn't think of another time when she felt so dearly loved, so desperately needed by him like now; not even when she lay on the sand underneath him at the beach because he was restrained by too many regrets and sorrow to show his true feelings at that time. She wanted to dive deeper into his clear eyes, into his pure love that wasn't burdened with all those depressed feelings coming from his sinful past.
"I want you."
"Take me, Jellal."
Leaning forward, Erza captured Jellal's lips for another passionate kiss and closed her eyes in bliss, finally breaking eye contact with Jellal. She had already filled the void in her soul which had existed since the day she was expelled from the Tower of Heaven with the love she found in Jellal's eyes that all she needed now was for her body to receive his love for her as well to make her feel truly complete.
