Kaleb stood there holding a passed out Lucy in his arms. With a glance to his son, which he still couldn't believe he had. He laid Lucy next to their son and watched as she immediately rolled to Galasfriel and put her arms around him. He couldn't stop the smile on his face if he tried. He had a son and his mother was a beautiful but fierce women. Her life certainly wasn't easy; he saw everything she thought about today, from her lonely childhood to her fierce dedication to having and raising their son. Whose power was like his own a mindbender mage, he would need to teach Galasfriel everything he knew and then some. The only problem he saw was they lived here in Fiore and he lived in Bosco. He couldn't take too much time off from the guild and he didn't want to pressure her to move to Bosco or have her send their son instead of them both. While Kaleb was lost in his troubled thoughts he didn't see Lucy or Galasfriel wake up.
Lucy shifted, having Galasfriel against her had calmed her and brought her out of the fog of shock she'd fallen into. Angling her head she stared up at Kaleb through her lashes and could see the confliction but also she could see desperation on his face. With a glance at Galas she could see her son studying Kaleb it looked like he was concentrating hard on something. Before she could ask she saw a shadow move on the floor. Hardly noticeable if one wasn't watching as it moved again. Without another thought she jumped up and shoved both Kaleb and Galas towards the side as she brought down a Regulas impact on the shadow. To her surprise tumbling out of the shadow with the wind knocked out of him was Vander.
Lucy looked down at him in shock until she heard a cough then what sounded like a muffled chuckle that turned into a belly holding sides cramping laugh. She turned to look at Kaleb who was laughing so hard tears were streaming down his face, "Oh I wish I had gotten this all on lacrima vision. I know everyone would pay good money to see you get taken down a few pegs."
She decided she wanted to test something out so while staring at Kaleb, Kaleb can you hear me? When he glanced at her in shock he opened his mouth to respond verbally. Wait don't speak out loud. I have four recording Lacrimas in the room. One at each corner of the room just thought you should know in the event you want the footage.
Her sly smile met with a sexy smirk from Kaleb.
Lucy I am going to kiss you before this day is out, hopefully more than once. Just giving you fair warning.
She felt her face flame up not because of embarrassment but because she found herself wanting that very same thing.
While she was stuck in her thoughts she missed most of the question Kaleb was asking Vander. "-you here?"
"Cristoff let dad in on who Galasfriel is to you and dad is raising hell, I've been ordered to spy. Heard you say he was your son, saw sexy here pass out and your start fretting like a mother hen. Then got the wind knocked outta me by sexy and here we are. Oh by the way dad is pissed, excited and well I'm not saying the last one but I'd be surprised if u aren't killed or hugged. Sexy will be hugged then begged to move to Bosco so dad can see his grandson more." After Vander's explanation and with no warning the door was thrown open and the room was filled with Kaleb's whole family, Happy, Master Laxus and Mira.
"Before anyone starts talking Mira can you take Galas downstairs? Happy please go with them and watch out for Galas, which means stay by his side and you will be rewarded with a grilled smoked salmon fish." Mira nodded at me and was already following Happy who swiftly picked up Galas and taken him back to the party after I finished saying rewarded.
I closed the door to the office and summoned Virgo, "Punishment Princess?" which got me looks from most of Kaleb's and Bixs family except the two mentioned. "No Virgo but if u ask me one more time I will flick you again. Can you bring some more chairs up here please?"
She nodded disappeared then reappeared and arranged the chairs. "Will that be all princess?" I was nodding my head yes when I heard a yelp and saw Bixs on the floor trying to pull a thumb tack outta his ass. "Will I be punished for leaving the thumbtack on mister Bickslow's seat princess?" without saying anything I turn toward Virgo and flicked her on her forehead which caused her to disappear in a shower of star dust.
"Your Spirit sure like's punishment doesn't she cosplayer?" asked Bix while rubbing the ass cheek that was struck by the thumbtack.
"Bickslow we are not here to talk about that we are here to talk about you, Lucy and Kaleb now sit down." Arman snapped at him
"Vander don't think I don't see you trying to sneak away sit down I know you have to be involved as well, and don't even try to void travel out of here." Arman said while glaring at Vander. That glare was enough to make me want to spill all my secrets, thoughts and bank information just so he would stop. From the corner of my eyes I say Kaleb gulp and nod in agreement with me.
"Now who wants to start explaining why there is a boy that Kaleb is clearly the father of yet he did NOT know about him or know the mother?" With a look around the room he could see none of his children wanting to respond including Lucy who looked just as if not more baffled then Cristoff, Emzadi and Xally.
"Since no one is talking, Lucy how did you come to have you son Galasfriel?" I asked while looking straight at Lucy.
"I was inseminated at a family planning center 3 years and 9 ½ months ago. It was shortly after having deciding to give up dating but not on having a family. It was maybe a year after Natsu's death too, since he always said I'd make an amazing mother with or without any guy, excluding him in my life." She replied and looked down at her hand, particularly the hand what had an oddly shaped fire ruby on her middle finger. With a nod Arman turned to look at his son Kaleb who was looking anywhere and everywhere but at his father.
"Kaleb how did your Sperm end up at that family planning center?" Arman inquired with his eyebrow raised. Seeing his most responsible and reliable son mutter something under his breath not even Arman, not bringing his sound magic up fast enough could get a full grasp at.
"Speak up I know you know how to speak clearly now do so." He said in a firm no nonsense tone.
"My sperm was there because I put it there with Bickslow right before he went out to Tenrou Island with his guild. But I...also put in a non-fertility disk before I handed it over, so no one would get pregnant. They were….more than eager to take it and I...at the time...didn't want to be fathering all the children they promised me could come from what I gave them. " With a nod at his explanation Arman turned to Bickslow who turned paler when his father's hard jade eyes landed on him.
"What was your part did you donate as well?"
"Yes I donated and when I got back from the seven year time gap I went back to check up on my donation. Mine had been used up but not one patient got pregnant. They wouldn't tell me much about Kaleb's just that there was still some available. Kaleb and I only donated so we could get Vander to stop bragging about his prowess between the sheets, the number of women he'd um...cum in... so we one up'd the stakes. No one was supposed to get pregnant." He dropped his head after explaining.
With a look at Vander Arman clearly didn't even want to hear his explanation knowing exactly how he was and what was running through his mind.
"Lucy," Arman said to get her attention. When her head shot back up and she was looking him in the eyes he continued to speak. "Would you consider moving to Bosco with Galasfriel? I know Kaleb needs to help train him to control his powers but I don't want to separate you and your son. I also don't want to ask you to leave your guild. You can think about this before you make a decision. You wouldn't need to worry about money or where you would live; Kaleb is well able to provide for you and his son."
At her stricken look he smiled gently. "Think about it my dear. I know this is all a huge shock to you, but, you've found your sons father, who can train Galasfriel in his magic so he never has to suffer because of it again, and...you have a family, a large one, that wants you and Galasfriel, all of us, we all want to be a part of your life if you will let us, Galasfriel can grow up with a mother and father in his life if you let him." Arman said softly.
Then the ambassador turned and herded his children from the office.
Lucy was walking home with Galas, Happy and Kaleb with Armans words still circling her mind. Part of her wanted to go so Galas could get the training he needed with his father and he also had his father's family he needed to get to know. But could she give up Fairy Tail? Granted it hadn't felt much like a home since Natsu was killed but Fairy Tail was still her family. She glanced over at Kaleb who was carrying Galas in his arms and listening to him talk. Looking over his strong physic was nice but what really drew her in besides the way her magic intermingled with his was how safe and at home she felt whenever he was close. She hadn't felt that way since Natsu brought her to The Guild.
After really looking at Kaleb and instead of thinking with her head she questioned what her heart wanted. She wanted to get to know him more. Learn his dislikes, his interests, favorite foods, favorite everything…etc. she just wanted to know him besides just physical attraction, that part was way too easy. There was a brilliance to him, it showed through his eyes that he had a sharp mind and she found that just as attractive as the 6'4" well-muscled body wrapped in snug white leather.
Plus he was family too, they have a son together. She could even see herself having more kids with him, which both freaked her out and thrilled her. The only problem for her it was all or nothing, the romantic in her couldn't be with multiple partners nor could she see herself as a bed mate friends with benefits kind of thing. Would he want something along those lines with her? A commitment? She didn't know but she hoped after putting Galas to bed they could talk about what he wanted too. She had always been a firm believer in others having a say on life changing decisions. Would he even want any sort of relationship with her beyond a friendly one because they had a child together?
The more she was near him; the more she really hoped so. Seeing him with Galas, gently guiding the three year old, telling him about his magic and how they had the same kind, which thrilled Galasfriel to no end, made her whole being just ache for them to be more than just friends because of Galas.
(1st person switch because I'm uncomfortable with it. Lucy POV)
After putting Galas to bed and Kaleb reading him a story, which was another stretch of time I spent watching the man that was the father of my child show how perfectly he just…"fit" with my son and...me. I wanted him to fit, listening to him interact with Galas, Gods...for a mother who had been struggling so much, finding a man who was so good with my son was a serious turn on and knowing that Kaleb was the father? Gods, Galas was perfect, a beautiful wonderful little boy, healthy happy and so amazingly smart, deep inside me there really was the conscious knowledge that Kaleb and I? We worked, we had produced this amazing child, Kaleb could give me amazing children, and...he could provide for them, could be a good father to them, seeing all of it right in front of me, in my sons delighted expressions and happiness at finally being understood and understanding his issues, it all amounted to...dear Gods I wanted Kaleb.
They left Happy to sleep with Galasfriel and walked into the living room to talk. Sitting on the couch next to Kaleb I turned to face him, "I want to hear what you want. I know what I want, I also know what your father wants but Kaleb what is your take on all this? I don't want to add too many things on your plate, Galas is not an easy boy. He is loud and hyper and then there is his powers too which you already know. But he is loving and sweet, he loves being held and loves to learn. He has good instincts and is very curious. I mean…. would we fit in your life? If so how..." Before I could continue to question him more I was silenced with his lips on mine. I sat in shock for a few seconds before melting into him.
His lips were soft and warm. I couldn't help deepening the kiss and running my fingers through his hair which was also soft and silky and felt far too good in my fingers. I felt his hands run down my back and grip my hips pulling me closer to him. When air became necessary we pulled away. Still catching my breath from that amazing and exhilarating kiss I almost missed him speaking to me.
"Everything that passed through your mind on the way here all the way until we started kissing is something I want too...Lucy...you're everything I've ever wanted and more...whatever you need or want...I've dated and never was much into that but if you need that, then let's pursue it, whatever you…" as he spoke I struggled to keep my attention on his words, Gods he was handsome, his lips were just...amazing and it had been so long since a man had held me, kissed me and never in my life had a man like him even looked at me with any interest.
I lunged and cut him off, crashing my lips into his and tackling him back onto the couch. He felt so good, his hands, sweet Mavis help me his tongue slid against mine as I boldly invaded his mouth. Apples, he smelled and tasted of apples and a rich masculine spiciness I was immediately addicted to. I whimpered as his hands gripped me and pulled me tight against him, years, it had been years since I'd done anything close to this, since long before Galas was conceived, Gods, since before the damn war.
"Too long…" Kaleb murmured against my lips and I couldn't have agreed more. In my head, I vaguely, somewhere in my head, realized he was there, inside my mind, following my thoughts but I was far too into what I was doing to care, the clasps on the front of his leather jerkin were keeping me from getting to what I could fucking FEEL was territory I wanted and feeling his lips slant into a smile suddenly how to open them came into my head and my fingers flew through getting the leather undone and out of my way.
I pulled back, pushing myself up on shaky arms to look down at him, panting and grateful that he was breathing hard too, that there was as much desire in his lavender eyes as I was sure were in mine. The chest I'd uncovered about took my breath away, I knew from looking at how the leather hugged the muscle that he was cut but the bared reality had heat build instantly low in my body, the feel of him...I was on top of him, straddling him and could feel his arousal, felt how much he wanted me and that made my blood just boil within me, made an almost painful aching need rage through me.
"Lucy…" He breathed, sliding a hand up my side, a strong thumb kneading into the side of my breast made me arch my back and grind myself against him and the sharp intake of breath followed by a sensual moan from Kaleb made my mouth fall open, an answering sound escaping me.
"I want you… in my life, in my bed…" He whispered and I whimpered, lunging back down to kiss him again. I usually wasn't a needy woman, being a single mother really tore that crap out of you fast, but I needed him, I needed his...everything...but most of all right then I just needed to be loved, I needed to have a mans attention, it had just been so damn long and while I had sworn off dating and men in general when I had marched into the family center, I knew I still wanted what I'd never been able to find.
I was a romantic at heart, I always had been, I fucking needed to be romanced, loved, I needed sex, good sex, the kind you only got when a man actually cared about you and I knew, knew deep down I'd never had that, it was one of the reasons I'd quit, stopped dating and bothering with the problems, the men I seemed to get just wanted in my damn pants, and all of them had been after their own damn orgasms and with just one exception, I'd honestly never had an orgasm during sex.
I felt defective…
Kaleb tilted his head, lips moving on mine, hands sliding down my body and gripping my ass, squeezing and pulling me into him until I gasped when his hips moved and the firm wonderful bulge in his pants pressed into my weeping center.
You are NOT defective...you just haven't been loved the right way...I would really love permission to prove that to you… his voice in my head made me whimper again and I nodded, pulling back and looking down at him with wide eyes completely unsure of what it all meant, if this was right, Gods I'd just met the man...here I was already practically begging him to have sex with me, what was wrong with me…
His hand touched my face "There is nothing wrong with you...I want you just as bad as you want me and for almost all the same reasons." He breathed, sitting up and trailing kisses down my throat.
"Please…" I groaned as my body ground into him again, all on its own I swear, I was so trying to be good, not to just tear his clothes off and have this all fall into just some wild...delicious...badly needed...hot glorious night of sex...we were talking...trying to make some choices, decisions that affected our futures damn it…
"Mmm, we can talk after…" Kaleb growled and that was it, my mind flew right into that primal gutter, angel was drop kicked off my shoulder by a flock of devil winged Cana and I was roughly shoving the leather jerkin down his arms as he leaned in and nipped at the swell of one of my breasts above the edge of my shirt.
The shirt was gone as soon as Kaleb's arms were freed from his own and my hands were shaking as they moved over warm smooth skin stretched over taut muscle that tensed and moved under my eager fingers as I explored all I could reach, trying to keep my mind intact as hot lips and wicked teeth teased my skin.
He shifted, arms wrapping around me and my legs wrapped around his waist as he stood, I was NOT letting go, no, I wasn't losing the delicious skin on skin contact I had, stars he felt so good…
He carried me down the hall to my bedroom and I felt his magic rise, the door gently closing as he climbed onto my bed and then laid me down on it, kneeling above me, chest heaving, the light from outside flooding over him he looked just...unreal. White tattoos almost glowed in his tanned skin, runes around a bob tailed panther on his right side I knew from reading were Boscan clan markings meaning Kaleb was clanborn.
A loop headed cross was branded over his heart with crossed swords behind it and on his left pectoral was the guild seal of White Sea. His hands were undoing his belt, lavender eyes fixed on mine, and I couldn't hold them, not while I was letting my eyes move over him, why were his fingers so slow...Gods I wanted to see everything, every inch of him.
He slid the zipper down and then I was reaching for him, eagerly wanting to yank those snug white leather pants down but he denied me, smiling, sliding his hands down and slowly stripping his clothes off the rest of the way. I'd never been teased before, never, men were always quick to get to me, not interested in any sort of play but Kaleb was teasing me and I was a little amazed to find...I loved it…
What I discovered I loved more? His body...I think I made some sort of sound, I know the moment those pants were gone with his underwear I was wide eyed, I'd seen naked men, and Kaleb wasn't freakish or anything, he was just...in proportion...perfectly, for a 6'4" man built like he was and I was suddenly just a little nervous about the very hard, very enticing arousal I was unable to stop staring at. It had been...4? No...5 years since I had been with a man...now I'd pushed a big healthy baby out 3 years ago but still….
"I'll take care of you...every way you'll let me…" Kaleb said softly and my heart tightened in my chest as me moved over, gentle hands sliding my skirt and panties down my legs and tossing them off before parting my legs, those pale eyes devouring me and leaving me breathing harder under their intensity.
The implications of what he'd said had my mind in a tail-spin wondering if he meant more than just right now...just in bed... but the moment he bent, sliding down, started kissing the inside of my left thigh my thoughts slammed right back into the gutter, all the little Cana's were back and cheering on my shoulders.
Oh Gods...nobody...not one man had ever done what I was suddenly hoping and dreading he was, I blushed crimson as his fingers slid up my center followed closely by a warm wet tongue. I worried so much about my body, I'd always struggled with my image of myself, having friends that sometimes said I was fat or soft or heavy had never helped with that...
You're beautiful...driving me crazy your skin is so smooth and you smell and taste incredible….Kaleb's voice purred in my head as his tongue and fingers made me writhe, had my fingers gripping the sheets as I struggled not to cry out like I wanted to...Gods if Galas woke up…
He's sound asleep, I've got him...I'll know if he wakes up...you keep that gorgeous mind on what we're doing… Kaleb's voice was so soothing and I let the breath I'd been holding out in a rush then gasped it back in when a finger slid into me.
So tight...sweet Gods the men here must be blind fools….he growled as another finger slid into me and started working my channel while his lips tongue and teeth drove my breath from me.
I was losing the ability to think, and was only vaguely registering something constantly happening, the moment my mind started to form around a desire building in me, Kaleb moved and did what I wanted almost before I knew I wanted it. Every desire, every need from how fast his fingers were pumping into my body to how hard his tongue slid against my skin.
I had no defense, no ability to hold myself back, it was like he sidestepped all of that and brought me right up to the edge, where my breath was catching and all the muscles in my body went tight until he growled, made this delicious sound and pleasure flooded me, ripped a gasp of his name from me and I watched as my body shuddered, him lift his head, slid his fingers from inside me, wipe his mouth and run his tongue over his hand then, while I was helpless, still riding the waves of my orgasm, he slid up my body, over my rising and falling chest, lips sealing over the peak of a breast for a moment and his hands gripped my hips.
He pulled himself up to look into my eyes, shifted up more and lifted my hips off the bed and held my eyes in the most intense look I'd ever been under, then, in the next breath, I felt him push into me, that long thick cock I had been staring at filling my body in slow easy steadily deepening thrusts with the waves of my orgasm until our hips met and I groaned.
"Oh...Kaleb…" sliding my arms around him, lifting myself into his body begging him to invade me further opening my eyes and seeing his were squeezed shut, his teeth bared in an expression of intense pleasure.
"Fuck you feel good…" He breathed finally, lavender eyes back on mine he started moving and I was lost in the feeling of him. I had always loved tall big men, but had honestly never really been with one until now, for whatever reason the men drawn to me always seemed to be just barely taller than me but Kaleb made me feel so small, so feminine, and Gods did the man know just where to touch me, just how to pull me into his lusty thrusts, adjusting as he went until he was hitting me right where I wanted him and exactly the speed and force I needed to send me careening back up into the heights I'd just fallen from moments ago.
He kept shifting me, just a little, his hands always moving as his hips held a delicious rhythm, driving me mad with a need that grew with the pleasure I was drowning in. He gripped one of my legs behind my knee and lifted it, the angle changing just so and that was it, an explosion of pleasure, I came so hard I saw spots and my mouth fell open, head slamming back and back arching.
"Nngh!...Lucy!" His strangled groan came as he did, I felt it, his length pulsing inside of me as my body milked him for all he was worth, contracting around him to pull his heated release from him and fill me with it.
He slid down, holding himself up on his forearms, his body pressing me into the mattress as his hips moved, drawing the spasms out, prolonging the waves of pleasure, his lips hot and warm on my neck and shoulder until we were both spent and he pulled his head up, gazing down at me through half lidded pale eyes.
"I want a chance with you...you don't owe me anything, you can say no, but...I want to be Galas' Daddy, not just his father, and even more than that? I want to be with you, Lucy, I want to try and….make us into a real family….In Bosco, we have a legal way people commit before they go all the way into an engagement or marriage, we "Promise" to one another, legally, it gives you all the same legal rights as a spouse, and is a commitment we make, that both of us will be exclusive to each other, that we...want to work toward a real marriage….would you? Promise with me Lucy?" He asked softly and I felt tears stinging my eyes, leave it to the Boscans...those people were so very into love and relationships…
"Yes." I said, I really didn't need to think about it, what he was offering was exactly what I wanted, a commitment we would try to be together with our son, to give Galas a chance to have a real family, and to give me...a chance at real love with a good man I already could feel myself falling for.
"Falling huh?" He purred at me, catching my mouth as soon as it fell open in horror and kissing me until my brain was fuzzy again and a smile tipped my lips back up.
"Mindbender, quick tip, every surface thought you have, like the one about wanting the commitment with me, and I've already told Dad and after he's done losing his damned mind with glee he'll draw up our promise papers and have them ready for us to sign in the morning, those thoughts are like regular out loud talking to mindbender mages like me and our son." He said narrowing his eyes on me as I processed that.
My eyes flew wide; oh Gods...Galas had HEARD all of those? Gods, I...I didn't just have lewd thoughts about Kaleb, I...I had frustrated sad thoughts about my baby boy! Grief and remorse slammed into me until Kaleb held my face in my hands and I felt this warm soothing sensation right through my head, slowing my thoughts down, dulling the edges of them, his lips were soft on mine for a brief chaste kiss then he was smiling at me again.
"Relax, it's all fine, up until that choker went around his neck it's all been a messy jumble for him he's too young to sort out. I'm telling you now so you and I can start working on your mental shielding, so that you won't accidentally bombard him with thoughts and…" He smirked, the expression so appealing my center warmed and tightened and I was reminded he was still buried inside my body.
He was too, eyes drooping shut and his tongue running over his lower lip as he hissed. "Holy...ok...mental note...smiling at you while I'm still inside you causes you to get excited in the best way…" he hummed and a little roll of his hips had my eyes rolling back in my head as I felt him getting hard and stretching me again.
"I'll...mmmm...teach you later...since we've sorted out getting Promised to each other? I think we need to revisit the long dry spell you've had...because I have a lot of work to do if I want to make up for that…" He purred at me and snapped his hips this time making me gasp. Oh Gods help me...I wasn't just falling for this man, I was diving...
And cut that's the end of chapter 2. I'm already half way through chapter 3. I won't post it till next week tho. Maybe earlier if I finish it. But let's give a hand to Desna for her amazing smoothing powers and the lemon cause I'm crap at lemons. I apologize it took me so long to update but I got a new schedule at work and needs to adjust to the next time. Still somewhat adjusting. Thanks for reading! :D
