Chapter 47

Lily grunted as the alcohol burned all the way down, and he quickly slammed his glass down on the counter. It had been a very long time since he'd bothered with the toxic liquid in any form. But tonight was one of celebration, and he decided to partake in the revelries. He glanced across the bar where Gajeel was having a drinking contest with his father, old man Makarov, and some young lady that Lily barely recognized as one of the council members' - Gildarts' to be exact - daughter. Man, was that young lady holding her own against the men that were easily twice her size.

A hard hand clasped Lily on the shoulder, and he looked up as Natsu and Gray took seats beside him. He gave them friendly smiles as the bartender brought over some more drinks. "Pretty tame for a bachelor's party." Natsu commented with a light laugh as he looked around. Indeed, it was quite tame. A couple of guys going to the first random bar they came across, and then just drinking all night. Quite tame, but Lily liked it.

"Heard they both agreed to simple parties." Gray added, taking a sip of his beer. "To keep each other from worrying."

"About what?" Natsu asked.

"Cheating, probably." the other guard shrugged. "You know Gajeel would tear apart any man that laid a hand on Levy, if he ever found out about it."

"Miss Levy would likely do the same to any woman that touched Gajeel." Lily spoke with an amused chuckle. "She does have quite the temper sometimes, one that rivals even Gajeel's."

"True. Damn, those two were made for each other." Natsu laughed. If anyone could handle Gajeel, it would be her. "Now if only they'd stop fucking in random places. Gah, it's so annoying to be stationed at their house these days." Gray laughed at that.

"I know what you mean! You take a risk every time you leave the office that you'll run into them doing it in some weird place." Gray shook his head. "I caught them in the hallway, on the couch, in the kitchen, hell even in the foyer on my way out once."

"Like, I know it's his house but, man, he knows they're never the only ones there!" Natsu huffed before looking at Lily. "You ever catch them at it?"

"I've seen far more than I'd have liked to of my Lady and Gajeel." Lily shook his head, but there was amusement in his voice.

"The worst part? Gajeel doesn't even care." Gray chuckled then. "He sees you? He just laughs and keeps going."

"He's shameless." Natsu shook his head. "But he's always been like that when it came to sex."

"Still, I would have thought he'd mellow out some with Levy."

"I do believe Miss Levy instigates most of it." Lily informed them with a wry grin, earning shocked stares. "I've heard Gajeel comment on it to her, though I didn't hear it very well. Something about him having turned her into an addict."

"Well damn, I knew he was good but that good?" Gray snorted, not entirely surprised. There were strong rumors about Gajeel's prowess with women, how some women were just never the same after a night with him. They'd had to physically stop some women from entering the mansion grounds more than once, because they wanted to see Gajeel again. But he never slept with the same woman twice. Not til Levy came along, anyways. Man, had that been a shock. Gajeel didn't date. He just didn't. He fucked, then left. But with Levy he'd made it clear from the start that she was far more than just a good lay.

Natsu and Gray had, for the longest time, thought they'd been sleeping together early on in the relationship. It hadn't been til after Phantom Lord's attack that Lucy and Juvia informed their husbands that Levy was still a virgin, and they in turn informed Lily. Their worlds had been rocked, as none of them had expected that kind of... restraint, from Gajeel. Come to think of it, it was fairly obvious when Levy finally slept with him. They went from acting like they normally did to fucking like rabbits all over the house, seemingly overnight. Lily had to guess it happened after that date Gajeel took her on.

"Well, whatever. Good for them. Still wish they'd stop doing it in obvious places, but at least they're happy together." Gray finally said, and they all nodded in agreement. Good for them.

Levy was blushing still, by the time the girls dropped her off at home. Mavis, they sure were nosy about her sex life. Still, it was a fun night. They went out to a nice restaurant, just the three of them (with a guard, of course), and ate some really good food. Then they just hung out and talked and talked. Played some games, too, but mostly gossiped and pried into Levy's sex life. Mavis, Levy almost regretted her no alcohol rule tonight. The last thing she wanted was a hangover on her wedding day and she knew if she had one drink, she would have more.

She was glad she agreed to the tame party, however. She just knew that, without that rule, the girls would have hired strippers or something. Mavis, that would have been so embarrassing. Not to mention Gajeel's reaction when he found out would be... bad. He hid it well, but Gajeel was most definitely the jealous type. He'd made it clear to her before they left for their parties that she was his girl and he did not share. Levy had just giggled a little at his possessiveness and reminded him the same went for him. He'd grinned widely at that, then kissed her... and Lily had to break them up or there would be no parties at all that night.

Speaking of Lily...

"My Lady, I could really use some assistance here." Lily called as he walked into the house, a drunk and barely awake Gajeel stumbling in with him. Levy hurried over to them, sliding under Gajeel's other arm to help Lily with his weight. Gajeel was one heavy man. "Thank you. Gray and Natsu all but dumped him on me." Lily scoffed as they helped Gajeel up the stairs.

"What happened to him? I've never seen him this drunk." Levy said, looking at her fiance with a pout. And here she'd hoped he'd be sober enough for one last night of premarital sex. All that talking with the girls about her sex life had really wound her up.

"Cana can fuckin' toss 'em back." Gajeel slurred in answer, just barely coherent enough to understand words. Levy's eyes went wide at this, and then she giggled. She'd heard of the infamous Cana, the family's self-proclaimed residential drunk. It seemed Gajeel was stupid enough to have a drinking contest with her.

"Did you win, at least?" Levy giggled as Lily helped her get him onto their bed.

"Lost. So fuckin hard." Gajeel groaned as he flopped back on the bed.

"The Don was the winner. Just barely." Lily commented with a wry grin before looking to Levy. "Do you need any help with him from here?"

"No, I got it. Thanks, Lily." Levy gave him a sweet smile. He just nodded and left them be, closing the bedroom door on his way out. Levy sighed and looked at the man she was marrying tomorrow. "You're going to have a hangover on our wedding day, Gajeel." she sighed softly as she sat down next to him.

"Don't get... hangovers..." he groaned, covering his face with a pillow to block out the light. "... be fine..." he mumbled. Levy just giggled in amusement and shook her head.

"Alright, well... just get some sleep, Gajeel. I'll take a shower then come to bed." she told him. He just grunted, and she walked off to the bathroom.

When Levy came out of the bathroom several minutes later, she found that Gajeel hadn't moved. He was still dressed in a really nice suit, and he was completely passed out. Loud snoring came from beneath the pillow that covered his head. Levy shook her head in amusement and walked over to him, shaking his shoulder to wake him.

"Gajeel, take your clothes off, at least." she sighed, pulling the pillow away from his face. He blinked groggily up at her, no longer coherent. Levy just sigh and started to unbutton his shirt. It took him a solid minute to understand what she was doing. Levy squeaked in surprise when he suddenly grabbed her wrists roughly and pushed her hands away from him. "Gajeel, you can't sleep in that." Levy huffed angrily when he deflected her hands several more times. Damn, even drunk the man was far stronger than her. Far more stubborn, too.

"Lea me alone." he slurred groggily, his eyes telling her he was too drunk to even know where he was right now. Levy just continued trying to get his clothes off, much to his displeasure. "Stahhhpp, I'm gettin...," he hiccuped before continuing, "married tomorrow... lea me da fuck aloneee." he groaned, continuing to push her hands away. His words made her freeze, and she looked up at him in shock. He didn't recognize her. He thought she was just some woman trying to sleep with him... and he wasn't having any of that.

Levy's heart had never felt so full. Here she'd been so worried he might be tempted that way if he got into a state like this... and here he was trying to fend off anyone that would try to tempt him. It was so... incredibly sweet. And it showed her in a big way that he really, truly loved her.

"Gajeel... it's me. It's Levy." Levy tried to convince him, looking into his eyes for any sign of recognition. He was too drunk. Too drunk and too tired. Levy sighed heavily at this. Here he was being super sweet, and he was too wasted to even know it. She clearly wasn't going to get his clothes off at this rate. Fine, let him wrinkle his nice suit and sleep uncomfortably. She gave a weary sigh and laid down next to him. "Just... go to sleep, dummy." she sighed. He didn't need to be told twice, and snores once more filled the air. Levy soon followed him into the world of dreams.

***Mild Lemon Incoming***

It was nearly three in the morning when Levy was woken up by a handsy Gajeel. She opened her eyes sleepily, moaning cutely as she felt her fiance's hands under her night gown, playing with her breasts teasingly. She looked up at Gajeel, finding that he'd woken up at some point and taken the suit off. He was in just a pair of boxers now, and he was giving her a lopsided grin as he leaned over her. She could smell the alcohol on his breath as he leaned down to kiss her, could taste it on his lips as he claimed hers with a low groan. Even in his drunken state, he kissed her well enough to coax a soft moan from her.

"G-Gajeel, you're still drunk..." Levy panted after the kiss as he moved to bite and suck along her neck. She tried to push him off, but Gajeel just grabbed her wrists and pinned them to the mattress, never faltering in his attack on her neck. She was conflicted on what to do now. She didn't want him to stop, but he was drunk... he probably didn't even know what he was doing. So she tried to squirm free of his grip. She faltered slightly as he began to suck at her neck, earning a small mewl from her. He kissed a burning trail up to her ear and gave it a sharp bite.

"I'm just a little buzzed now, baby, relax." his voice rumbled soothingly in her ear, grinning as she blinked up at him.

"R-really?" she checked, earning a soft chuckle from her lover.

"Can't say I'm exactly sober but... I know what I'm doin." he grinned down at her before licking his lips hungrily, his eyes full of lust as he looked her over. "And I know I really wanna fuck my wife right now."

"I'm not your wife yet." Levy huffed with a small blush. He just grinned and gave her an expecting look. Levy felt herself crumble under the amount of lust showing in his eyes. "You big idiot, come here." she sighed, but there was a smile on her lips as she grabbed his shoulders and pulled him down to her. He was quick to claim her lips again, kissing her hungrily now that he had permission to continue.

The still intoxicated Gajeel got right to business, quickly pulling her night gown off and tossing it away without a care. Her panties and his boxers were quick to follow. Gajeel definitely took charge, kissing her hungrily and quickly aligning himself with her core. Levy clung to him tightly as he wasted no time and merely plunged right into her. She let out a loud moan as he set a brisk pace that already had her seeing stars. It was fast, unbelievably so, because Levy was falling into Nirvana in mere minutes, crying out his name to the heavens. Gajeel was rather quick to follow, the alcohol in his system and the brisk pace catching up to him quickly.

"Fuck, Levyyy..." he groaned into her hair as his end hit him suddenly. They stayed in place for a long moment, both just trying to catch their breath. Gajeel rested his forehead against her shoulder with a groan. "Remind me never to drink with Cana again." he finally said after a long while. Levy let out a giggle that turned into a soft moan as he slid from her warmth. He grinned at that before rolling off to the side and pulling her into his arms. "I'm sorry if I did anything weird last night, baby. Ya ain't seen me drunk before, have ya?"

"Tonight was the first time." she confirmed quietly.

"I was more than drunk tonight, babe. I was plastered." he laughed dryly before sighing and burying his nose in her hair. "I get horny when I get drunk." he admitted. "So I usually avoid it unless I'm out lookin for a good lay."

"Could have fooled me." Levy giggled against his chest. "You were fending me off pretty violently there for a while."

"Huh?"

"I was trying to get you out of your suit." she told him with a sweet smile, bringing a hand up to cup his face. "You thought I was someone else, trying to get in your pants. You kept telling me to leave you alone... because you were getting married." She leaned up and kissed him happily. "It was so sweet."

"I really did that? While I was drunk?" he asked in surprise. He knew how he got when he was drunk, especially blackout drunk like that, which is why he'd asked Lily to keep an eye on him last night. But he didn't even flirt with Levy in that state? He fought her off? Even he was surprised by that. I shouldn't be, though... she means everything to me. I guess even my subconscious knows that... he smiled as the thought came to him, and he returned his bride's sweet kiss. "Guess that just shows how much you mean to me, Levy."

"It was so sweet." Levy repeated happily, sliding her arms around his neck as she kissed him yet again. He hummed happily as he returned the kissing, his arms around her waist holding her flush against him. Levy squealed when she was suddenly flipped onto her back again, Gajeel quickly caging her with his body once more. He grinned down at her as she blushed cutely at him.

"You didn't think I was done, right? That last one was just a quickie." he chuckled down at her.

"G-Gajeel... we have to sleep at some point, ya know. Today's the big day..." Levy complained half heartedly as her groom began to kiss his way down her body. He stopped at her stomach and looked up at her, giving her a wicked grin.

"I know, baby... I can't wait to see ya limp down the aisle."

"L-Limp?!" she squeaked. He chuckled darkly in amusement.

"When I get through with ya, that's all you'll be able to do."

Sorry for the crappy-ish lemon. I wanted one more before the wedding. And it's official, the next chapter is the wedding... cause I kind of wrote myself into that corner there, haha. It might be a bit longer before it gets posted, I'm planning an nice long chapter for that.

Anyways, thanks for reading. Gimme more comments! Suggestions! Anything. It motivates me to write faster!

Love!
