"Blondie!"

His arms caged me against the balcony railing. "Been awhile Sir Sparks-a-lot." I was so happy I had regained my voice. I grabbed his cigarette from his lips and took a drag. Laxus raised an eyebrow at me as I exhale the vile smoke in his face and turned back around to face the city, still caged between his arms. I was glad I wasn't as shit-faced as our last encounter, but I was feeling a bit buzzed.

"Why have you been avoiding me Blondie?" Laxus rumbled. I could feel the vibrations coming from his chest. He flicked the finished butt over the balcony. The sparks from the cherry sailing across my periphery like a shooting star till the rain fizzled it out and it dropped to the cobblestone below.

"I haven't been avoiding you per se Laxy Butt. I have just been quite busy for the past eight months." I felt his chest rumble again when a low growl passed his lips. "Could have fooled me" he whispered in my ear with his hot breath. Goosebumps spread like a plague of locusts from my head to my toes. I let out a small moan and he latched on to my neck and began nipping kissing his way across my back.
