Last time on Guns and Roses:

The next thing Levy knew she was on her back on the bed. Gajeel leaned over her, propped up so he wouldn't crush her. She blushed at the change in position, but then she met his eyes and she damn near melted. She'd never seen him look so vulnerable...

"Levy." he swallowed thickly. "Fuck, Levy, I can't... I can't lose you. I want you by my side forever, no matter what." Levy felt her cheeks redden at the admission, and she felt her heart beginning to race. Was this... was he... "Levy, I want you to marry me. Please tell me you will." It was. Gajeel was proposing!

Chapter 26

Wide, innocent, hazel eyes stared up into nervous, angular, crimson. All was silent. They could hear each others' hearts beating loudly in their chests. Levy's face was flushed, and even Gajeel's cheeks had a slight pink tinge to them. Say something, shrimp. Anything... Gajeel pleaded in his mind as he stared down at the surprised woman. She just stared back with those wide, beautiful eyes. Is this... is this a dream? She wondered.

"Lev?" Gajeel finally broke the silence, his voice betraying him and showing just how nervous he was. But he couldn't stand this silence. It was eating away at him, and he was beginning to fear rejection. It was too soon, after all, he thought. Hell, they'd only confessed their feelings a few days ago. Five, to be exact. He was really starting to regret asking her so soon. He was just going to scare her off, he knew it! And her silence was all but proof of that.

"You really mean it?" She asked timidly, her voice just above a whisper. He really, truly... wanted her to marry him? It's so soon, Levy wondered, but it just... feels right. Just the thought of being his wife, Mavis, that did something to her that she couldn't describe. She found herself surprised that she wasn't worrying about being a don's wife, about marrying into a dangerous lifestyle. No, she was only focused on being Gajeel's wife. She loved him so much... and Levy Redfox had a wonderful ring to it...

"Of course I mean it." Gajeel confirmed, holding his breath as he looked down at her. He didn't trust himself to say anything else without sounding pathetic. He watched her blink up at him for a moment. And then he felt her soft lips on his and slender arms around his neck. He grunted at the sudden kiss, bracing his arms on the bed as she pulled him down to her. His eyes went wide but, as she deepened the kiss, he groaned and gave in, letting her keep in control of the kiss as long as she wanted. He was still nervous. Mavis, was he nervous. A kiss wasn't a yes or a no... What would she say when she finally pulled away?

"Yes." Levy breathed, pulling away from the kiss after a while. Gajeel's eyes flew back open and went wide. Yes? "Yes!" She kissed him again, pulling him back down to her. Gajeel's heart soared as he eagerly returned her kissing. She said yes... she said YES!

*Mild Lime Incoming*

Gajeel took control of the kissing, and it turned into a heavy, passionate make-out session. Levy let out a soft moan as she slid her arms around his neck. She buried her fingers in his thick black mane, marveling at its surprising softness as he all but made love to her mouth. It seemed like an eternity before they had to come up for air. Gajeel begrudgingly tore himself away from her lips, only to attack her neck with his teeth and lips. Levy let out a surprised gasp that turned into a pleased mewl as he sucked at the skin at the base of her neck.

He grinned against her flesh as she turned her head to give him better access to her neck. He obliged her silent plea to lavish her neck with attention, sucking and biting a trail up to her ear. Pulling the tender flesh of her ear between his teeth, he groaned as her tiny hands slid over his shoulders to wander down his chest. He felt her hands on him, taking in all his muscles and admiring them over his shirt. But then her hands slid closer to his pants...

"Shrimp, you're wandering into dangerous territory there." he whispered hotly against her ear as her hands ventured lower. He wondered what she was thinking. She'd never dared wander that low before. She would always blush and pull away out of embarrassment. But he looked at her face now and only saw lust in her eyes... though her face was, of course, an adorable shade of pink.

"Lev?" he questioned when she continued her path towards his pants. She unbuckled his belt and he groaned at how hot something so simple could be. He sat up a bit just to watch her, to see what she would do next. That blush of hers deepened but her hands didn't stop. She unbuttoned his pants, and Gajeel began a mental war with himself. Fuck, should he stop her? Depending on what she was planning, he didn't know if he could stay in control once she reached her destination. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her... and she did not deserve to lose her virginity to someone who couldn't control himself.

The zipper to his pants was pulled down... slowly. Gajeel cursed himself and grabbed her slender wrists, pinning them up by her head. He stared down into confused hazel eyes.

"Levy... not that I'm discouraging a little exploration but..." Gajeel was panting. Images of the things she could have been planning to do were going through his mind, and they weren't helping his situation one bit. "I need to know what yer planning... and how far you want this to go. I don't wanna hurt ya, shrimp..."

"I just... umm..." Levy flushed and looked away. "I want to... try to make you feel good, like you did with me the other day." She swallowed thickly before meeting his eyes again, and he saw pure determination in those gorgeous eyes of hers. "I just... you make me feel things I've never felt before and... I want to try new things. I'm... I'm still not ready for everything. But I want to try." Gajeel's eyes softened as he looked down at her. She wanted to try something new, did she? She wasn't ready to go all the way but... he could handle that. He took a deep breath and calmed himself.

"Alright, shrimp. Just let me... give me a second." he needed to seriously calm down first. He had to remind himself that she wasn't ready to lose her virginity, that she just wanted to explore for now. He wasn't about to deny her, but he had to make sure he wouldn't lose it and just take her. Regaining his control was tougher than he thought, but he eventually let out a deep breath and looked her in the eye. "C'mere." he pulled her up and moved with her to the center of the bed, pulling her into his lap. He hooked a finger under her chin, making her look up at him again. "You're in control, Lev. What do you want to do? What do you want me to do?"

"I... want to make you feel good." she flushed. "But I don't know what to do." She fidgeted a bit, trying not to meet his eyes. She'd lost her bravado from earlier, but she wasn't going to back down, not after she'd said all that stuff. And she really did... want to make him feel good. Especially because she knew he was starting to struggle with going at her pace. "What... what do I do?"

"Explore, shrimp. I will tell you if something feels good or not." Gajeel smiled at her blushing face. He leaned back a bit and gestured to himself. "I'm all yours." He watched her eyes go wide and her blush deepen considerably. She moved off him slightly and sat up a bit to kiss him. They just kissed for a few minutes, Gajeel letting her keep control as she tried to relax. Eventually her nervousness died down enough for her to continue.

Nervous hands gripped his tank top and pulled. Gajeel smirked and pulled off his shirt for her, watching her with curious, amused eyes as she practically drooled over his chest. What would she do next? Those small hands of hers found rest on his chest. She let them roam over his muscles. She leaned forward and began to kiss his chest, following the path her hands took... down.

Her hands and lips were like fire, burning a hot trail down his chest and sending heat straight to his dick. Gajeel hissed as she suddenly sat up and raked her nails down his chest. She paused and looked up at him nervously. Did she hurt him?

"Shrimp, keep going. That felt good." Gajeel all but groaned. Levy's cheeks darkened again, but she returned to kissing him, this time tracing along his collarbone with those cute lips of hers. She put her hands back on his chest and lightly pushed against him. He complied and laid back on the bed, propped up only by the pillows behind him. He watched her with lust filled eyes as she settled herself on his lap, straddling him.

Seeing the determination in her eyes and the blush on her cheeks did something to him. She was so hot this way, and he was trying his hardest not to touch her back. He had to remind himself that this was her time. She wanted to explore, and he wasn't going to interrupt that.

Gajeel let out a surprised groan as Levy began to kiss and nip along his neck, her hands returning to wander over his chest. They slid down him sensually before coming to a stop at the waistband of his pants. Her lips moved away from his neck and began trailing down his chest.

He watched her intently as she moved down his body until she was kissing just below his navel. She sat up slightly to pull at his pants a bit. He got the message and slid them down to his knees, watching as she blushed furiously upon realizing he hadn't put any boxers on after his shower. Her eyes went wide and she just stared at him for a long time. Oh, that's right. This is her first time seeing mine, Gajeel mused with a smirk as her eyes never left his member.

Slowly, so slowly, and with a face of pure determination... she reached out with one of her tiny hands and... poked it. Gajeel couldn't help himself. He burst out with a loud laugh. "Oh, shrimp, that was cute." he laughed, throwing his head back onto the pillows behind him. Just watching her poke him like that with such a serious expression on her face, it was too funny.

"D-don't make fun of me!" Levy pouted, crossing her arms and looking away. "I've never... never touched one before."

"Eh? But yer a doctor." Gajeel's laughter was dying down. "Don't you have to learn about this stuff?"

"I learned about it, of course. But my specialty was childbirth and the female reproductive system..." she trailed off with a blush. "B-besides, what I learned was all medical stuff not... not about... pleasure..." Gajeel smirked at her and pulled her to him to kiss her.

"Well, then, you'll just have to learn about pleasure, now won't you?" he grinned at her blush. She could only swallow and nod. Gajeel just chuckled again and laid hack once more. "Go on, shrimp. Best way to learn is hands on." he winked suggestively at her.

She blushed furiously but caught the hint. Nervously, she returned her hand to his cock and touched it lightly. And then she fully wrapped her hand around him and he groaned at the sensation. She hesitated then, unsure of what to do now. Gajeel reached down and covered her hand with his, guiding her up and down a few times until she was doing it on her own. She moved faster and he cursed.

"Fuck, Levy, just like that." he groaned out, throwing his head back onto the pillows again. He was completely at her will, and he was honestly impressed with how well she was doing, considering this was her first time giving a hand job. Or maybe it was just that it had been so long since he'd gotten any kind of action, and now he was super sensitive. Probably a mix of both.

Either way, it seemed like no time before he found his end with a loud groan. Levy let out a startled 'eep' as she found her hands covered in his fluids. She pulled away, her face flushing with embarrassment but her eyes glued to his slowly deflating member. Then she looked up into his eyes and her breath hitched as they locked eyes. Gajeel was staring at her as if he wanted to eat her, and the raw lust in his eyes sent chills down her spine.

"Shrimp, maybe you should go take a shower." his voice was rough and he was still panting from his release. "Otherwise... you won't be leaving this bed." Levy's eyes widened at his words. Not needing to be told twice, she scurried off the bed and hurried to the bathroom.

*End Lime*

Levy froze in the bathroom once the door was closed. Her eyes landed on the crumpled up clothes next to the toilet. Even from the door she could see the blood that stained his white dress shirt. She remembered her conversation with Gajeel earlier, and her promise to him.

Even though seeing the blood scared her... she wasn't going to let it affect how she saw Gajeel. She just... needed to accept that this was a part of his life and that it always would be. And she was marrying into this...

"Shit, Lev, I forgot." Gajeel burst into the bathroom, still shirtless but his pants were back on. He hurried past her and grabbed the clothes off the floor, looking quite ashamed of himself for letting her see this. He met her eyes and deflated upon seeing her look away.

"I'm... sorry." he sighed dejectedly as he brushed past her, hurrying out of the bathroom. Levy was pained at the amount of hurt in his voice. She hurried after him and threw her arms around him, burying her face in his back. He froze and waited for her to speak.

"I'm not afraid of you, Gajeel. I'm just... it's something I need to get used to, is all." Levy mumbled into his back. "I love you, Gajeel. Stuff like this... it's not going to change how I look at you."

Gajeel dropped the clothes on the floor and spun around. He embraced Levy with a strong hug, burying his face in her hair. "I don't deserve you, shrimp." he sighed into her hair. "But I'm selfish, so I'm not gonna let you go, even if I don't deserve you." He pulled away slightly and leaned down to kiss her. "Go take your shower, Levy. I'm... going to get rid of these clothes." Another kiss and he pulled away, scooping the clothes up again before walking out of the room entirely.

Levy stared after him for a while before sighing softly. She turned back to the bathroom, the idea of a shower very appealing now. It had been one long... long day...
