Words can literally not describe how sorry I am that this chapter took so long. I'm so sorry! Shits been really crazy and I didn't have the time to write! And then I lost my inspiration for the story... Lemons are a lot harder to write than I thought. I've read some that seem so unrealistic and just don't flow right and I didn't want that to happen to mine, so I've probably read this chapter a hundred times by now. Even as I post this I'm second guessing it. But I hope I did a decent job.
Anyway! I'm sorry for my long absence. Like I said I'm determined to finish this story. And I'd like to thank everyone who has stuck it out with me and those who continued to read and favorite my story even through my long absence. And a special thank you to Insane-As-The-Mind who checked in on me. Thanks so much! So with out further adue here is chapter 22!
I don't own Fairy Tail, but the plot, and OCs are mine.
Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 22
In a flash of bright light Saphira and Laxus disappeared from the guild, leaving shocked guildmates and a single thought behind for Erik.
'I believe in you.' That was all she said before the pair were too far away for him to hear anything more. Coming back to his senses, Erik reassured the guild that the missing pair were fine and immediately walked over to the other telepathic mage in the guild, Warren.
"Teach me everything you know. We have two days, and then we hunt down Saphira."
Two days was all he had to learn as much as possible about his ability. Erik needed this. He wanted to be needed. To be of some help to the person who had given him so much. For him to be so sentimental was strange and new, but Fairy Tail has a way about it that makes you question everything you once thought.
To be working with the very people who put you in prison in the first place... he had to be crazy, right?
(Line Break)
They stood at opposite sides of her living room. The distance was necessary, she had no idea what he was thinking. And in turn, he had no idea what she would do. This isn't what I wanted to happen, they both thought.
"You know that I can't let you go." Laxus said firmly. There was no weakness heard in his voice. There was no way he could let her walk into the jaws of a dragon.
"And you know that my mind is already made up. I won't let anyone else die because of me." Saphira said with a strong conviction in her voice.
Laxus's features softened as he said, "I don't want to lose you..."
The pain that shone in his eyes almost made Saphira break down in tears. Clenching her fists, she fought to keep her tears from falling. "I...I can't just do nothing! They are after me! If Acnologia and Rea have what they want, it will be easier for the guild to act! Tell me, how is that not a good thing?!"
"If it comes at the expense of your life, then it's not worth it! Can't you see that everyone in the guild cares for you?"
"I know that!... I know that... but still... I have to do this..."Saphira whispered as silent tears finally made their way down her face. Wiping them away she continued. "I have no intention of going there to die. I'll get to Rea first, but the rest will depend on the ambush. Luna will be free of Rea's control, and the guild will find me and Acnologia will be next."
Saphira walked across the living room and stopped directly in front of Laxus, only an arms distance away. "Believe in me and believe in the guild, your family... our family."
Laxus reached out and pulled Saphira into his embrace. "You aren't playing fair..." He mumbled, his voice slightly muffled by her hair.
"Neither are you." Saphira replied as she sank further into his strong arms. This, right here, this is what she had always wanted. A loving home. A place to belong again, a place to come back to. Through the loss of her parents, little brother and Luca, she had made it into Laxus's arms... and she was terrified to leave. She tightened her hold and rubbed her tears away on Laxus's shirt.
The atmosphere was calm and silent for a few minutes and Laxus was the first to break the silence.
"I'll agree on one condition..." Pausing for only a moment to consider his words, Laxus tightened his arms around the woman in his arms and heart, then continued. "I love you Saphira, and I want you to be mine and I yours in every way. You have bewitched me with some unknown magic and now I can see no one else but you. Just the thought of being with someone other than you crushes my heart. Give me your heart, your soul and your body... in return I'll give you my everything. I promise to cherish you know and forever, just let me have tonight...please."
By the end of his heart felt confession, tears were pouring out of Saphira's eyes, creating crystal like rivers that soaked through the front of Laxus's shirt. And the now silent lightning mage let her hang on him for dear life. Her small hands gripped the back of his shirt as she circled her arms around the man she loved with all her heart. In that moment, she let everything go. Her fears, sadness, pain, doubt, and happiness all came together in one outpouring of emotion. She honestly couldn't have been happier or more scared at the same time.
Saphira then mumbled something into Laxus's chest. Not hearing what she said he pulled away so her face was visible once again.
"Say it again."
"...My past, present, and future has always belonged to you... yes, a thousand, million times yes!" Saphira said as she sealed her lips over his.
The flood gates had finally been opened, and now there was no going back. Laxus pulled Saphira closer to his body, as though he was trying to devour her. Saphira could feel every inch of his hard, hot body. Aroused by his simple touch, her hands traveled up his chest and over his broad shoulders, pushing off his heavy jacket. The jacket plopped onto the ground forgotten as Laxus caressed Saphira's bare lower back, traveled down to cup her rounded butt, and then further down to give her thighs a quick push. Getting the idea, Saphira jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist.
Their lips never parted as Laxus began to make his way to their room. Once inside the door was promptly shut and Saphira pushed up against it. Gasping at the sudden coolness against her back, gave Laxus the opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth. Saphira let out a breathy moan as Laxus swept her away with his tongue. A battle of dominance ensued as each slayer tried to gain the upper hand. Laxus having had enough of her games, pressed more of his weight on her. As she relinquished her hold on his mouth to breathe, Laxus moved to her bared neck.
Barely registering Laxus's dirty trick on her, Saphira planned one of her own. Deciding that the shirt had to go, Saphira ran a claw swiftly down the front of his shirt, being careful not to nick the man wearing it. Reaching the end, she ripped apart the remaining connecting threads.
Pausing his attack on her now very colorful neck, Laxus looked down at his now shredded shirt.
"I liked that shirt..." Laxus grumbled.
As she threaded her hands over his shoulders and into his golden locks Saphira said, "I'll buy you a new one."
Her crop top swiftly met the same end as Laxus's shirt.
"That was my favorite top!" She exclaimed.
"I'll buy you a new one." Laxus replied tauntingly.
Before she could say another word, Saphira found herself being flung onto the bed.
Laxus took a moment to enjoy the lovey sight before him. Saphira was laying haphazardly on the bed. Her hands above her head, hair messily flung in separate directions, the top of her full breasts spilling out of her bra, and her deliciously low riding jeans. She was a sight to behold indeed.
"Are you going to stand there all day?"
'No... definitely not.' Laxus thought as he shrugged of the remainder of his shirt off his shoulders. Leaning over her, Saphira spread her legs to accommodate his size. One of his large hands settled on her bare stomach as his right arm rested by her head, supporting most of his weight.
Their lips found each other's again, this time at a much slower pace. Saphira brought her hands up to caress and map out the planes of his chest. Every muscle shivered at her touch and she relished the thought that only she could have this effect on the huge lightning dragon slayer.
Laxus's hand slipped behind her and easily found and unclasped her bra. But before he could pull it away, a small hand stopped him. Looking up at Saphira's face he found it to be as red as a tomato, and her chest was heaving as though she was out of breath.
"Are you alright?" Laxus asked softly.
"Embarrassed?... Nervous?... I'm not really sure how to put what I'm feeling into words... I feel like my chest is going to explode, or that I'm going to pass out from a lack of oxygen."
Letting go of his hold on her loose bra, Laxus caged Saphira in with his arms on either side of her head. Settling his forehead on hers, he whispered, "you do the same thing to me... there's no need to be embarrassed, I love every inch of you, so don't hide from me."
Nodding softly, Saphira tilted her head up and pecked Laxus's lips. Moving back to her bra, he pulled it off her chest and up her arms, then discarded it somewhere in the room. Saphira immediately forgot her embarrassment when she felt Laxus's mouth descend on her sensitive nipple. Swirling his tongue around her pert pink nipple, Laxus watched as she threw her head back on the bed moaning loudly. Fueled by her reaction, he moved his free hand over to her other breast, brushing his thumb over the other nipple and lightly pinching it as he bit the other causing Saphira to buck underneath him. Moaning louder she pushed her chest up and further into his wonderful hand and magic mouth.
"Laxus," Saphira panted. She could feel herself getting wetter by the second. Grinding her hips against his, she attempted to relive some of the pressure building in her stomach. Ignoring her attempt to rush him, Laxus lazily switched his mouth to the other breast and gave it the same lavish attention.
Caught somewhere between frustration and pleasure, Saphira's mind and body had, had enough. Hooking her right leg around his left, and shoving his right shoulder she managed to flip them, he would be at her mercy now. Wiggling her way down his hips, she stopped as her core lined up with his swollen manhood. Laxus moaned and brought his hands up to rest on her hips. Leaning over, her bare chest inches away from his, she raked her nails down his chest, being sure to get his nipples as she made her way down. Laxus tensed beneath her as Saphira used her mouth to trace the lines her nails had left. Pausing at the top of his jeans, Saphira tilted her head to look back up at him, Laxus had propped himself up using his forearms. His eyes had changed, his pupils were now reptilian slits and glowed a bright yellow gold color. Saphira was sure that hers had changed as well, but instead of gold hers were a brilliant blue. The dragons had come out to play.
Swiftly she undid his jeans and slid off him to yank his pants down his legs and threw them behind her. Before she could reclaim her spot on top, Laxus sat up and did the same for her. Undoing her jeans and slowly pushing the skin tight fabric down her long, soft legs. Stepping out of the discarded fabric, Saphira kicked them away from her feet. Laxus brought his hands back up, retracing his path up her legs. His left hand settled on her hip and his right traced the scars on her stomach. Now that he was face to face with the remnants of Saphira's last fight with Acnologia, he started to worry about her plan and safety all over again. Sensing the change in him, Saphira tangled her hands in his hair and gently pulled his head back, away from her stomach, so she could see his face.
"Don't," she whispered. "Don't think about him... right now its you and me." Leaning down she captured his lips once again. There was no doubt about it, she absolutely, irrevocably loved this man. And she would make damn sure that she came back for him and their future family. Nothing would stop her.
Laxus lifted her up and placed her back on the bed, capturing her lips once again as his right hand snaked its way down Saphira's body, but paused when he reached the top of her underwear. A frustrated growl left Saphira's throat and she bucked her hips into his. "You're going to slow! I'm not going to break, ya know."
Laxus slipped his fingertips under the elastic band and said, "I want you to enjoy this and remember every moment and every touch." Slowly he ghosted his mouth over her pert nipples. Saphira tensed as a shiver made it's way up her spine. "Oh, believe me, I'm going to remember every moment no matter the pace." She replied as she flipped them over again. "Every expression you make is going to be burned inside my memory forever." She whispered in his ear to distract him from what she had planned. Swiftly and silently she removed both of their last barriers. Firmly gripping his swollen manhood, she gave him a firm squeeze, causing Laxus to throw his head back and moan loudly.
"When did you..." The rest of his question was swallowed by another moan as Saphira stroked his length, rubbing her thumb around and over the tip.
"My, my, you're really excited! Look at all this pre cum! Don't quit on me early now." Saphira received an irritated growl as his only response. Continuing her assault on his senses, Saphira slowly traveled down his body licking and nipping at anything in her path. Reaching her desired destination, Saphira ran her tongue up the base of his length and swirled her tongue over the tip, taking as much of him in her mouth as she could and sucked hard.
"OH MY GOD! Woman are you trying to kill me!?" Laxus shouted as he propped himself up on his elbows.
"Maybe..." Saphira replied, glancing up from her position. With a devilish smirk, she kept eye contact as she barely licked his throbbing manhood. Groaning again, Laxus closed his eyes and Saphira used the opportunity to really send him over the edge. Taking him in her mouth again, caused Laxus to buck into her mouth. A growl left his throat that was distinctly not human, grabbing her hair, he attempted to ground himself. There was no way he was going to make it that easy.
Saphira on the other hand was determined to see him climax, determined to see him come undone. She had no idea if what she was doing was even right, but so far all the reactions seemed positive. Placing her right hand on his hip to stop the bucking, she used her left to stroke what she couldn't fit in her mouth. 'Damn he's huge! It sounds cliche when I think it, but is this really going to fit?'
He was so close! She could feel it. Bobbing her head up and down Saphira continued to suck, lick, and nip at anything she could fit in her mouth. Vaguely she could hear her name repeatedly fall from his lips, like a prayer. Fueled by his reactions she kept a close watch on Laxus's face, she found his eyes were screwed shut and his chest continued to rise and fall rapidly. Saphira growled deep in her throat, the resulting vibrations finally sent Laxus over the edge, spilling his cum into Saphira's mouth and down her chest. After swallowing what she could, Saphira sat back on her legs to stretch out her sore jaw and catch her breath.
After catching his breath and coming down from his climax, Laxus opened his eyes to see Saphira looking at him with the same damn devilish smirk she had on earlier. Some of his cum had fallen down onto her chest and chin, her hair was a mess from his hands, but she was glowing and she was beautiful. Laxus sat up and licked the top of her breasts and the corner of her chin clean, and then moved to kiss her lips. It was strange tasting himself on her lips, but he couldn't say he didn't like it.
"I'm going to repay you ten-fold." Laxus whispered in her ear as he laid her back on the bed. Saphira shivered as he licked her left collarbone. The very same one he intended to mark very soon. Laxus repeated Saphira's agonizingly slow pathway down his body onto hers. Reaching his destination he found her to already be extremely aroused and wet, pushing her legs apart he ran one finger down in between her folds and just barely into her canal. Saphira bucked her hips and growled in frustration as he pulled away. "Are you that eager?" All he received as an answer was a sharp glare from glowing blue eyes. Piercing glowing yellow eyes held her gaze he slowly lowered his head. Only when his tongue made contact with her clit did Saphira break eye contact, as her eyes rolled to the back of her head and her head met the pillow. Her right hand found its way into his blonde locks, pushing lightly for more friction, and her left massaged her breasts.
"Laxus... mmmm..." Saphira moaned as Laxus held down her bucking hips. Looking up at her, he was met with a glorious sight. Saphira was almost completely undone. Her hair was disheveled from tossing her head back and forth, and voluptuous breasts heaved as she tried to catch her breath. 'Just a little bit more.' Inserting two fingers made Saphira shout out and arch her back. Scissoring his fingers, he started to stretch her a little.
"Faster..." Saphira breathed.
Oh yea, he could do faster, Laxus thought. Stopping his scissoring motion, he inserted a third finger and started rapidly pumping. At the same moment, he began to lick and suck her clit. Saphira screamed out at the sudden change in pace and gripped Laxus's hair harder. "Oh my god! Don't stop! Oh god!" Saphira's inner walls tightened around Laxus's fingers as she came. Her whole body felt light and heavy at the same time. Acutely aware of every little movement Laxus made. 'Such an odd feeling.' She thought and she caught her breath. Opening the eyes she hadn't even realized she closed, she found Laxus hovering over her.
Laxus gave her a quick kiss and pulled away slightly. "Are you ready?" he asked. Saphira could feel the tip of his cock already lined up with her core. Unintentionally, Saphira tensed up. Laxus felt it and rested his forehead and hers. "Don't tense up, relax. It will be alright."
Closing her eyes, Saphira breathed in Laxus's scent and relaxed her body. Hooking her arms around his neck, she said, "I'm ready." with a smile.
Slowly Laxus inserted himself a little bit, to get her used to the intrusion. She was incredibly tight! Even after all the stretching he tried to do. "It's best to get it over with quickly." He knew, from past experiences that this part hurt the most. And the thought of hurting her, hurt him.
"It's alright, I'll be fine. It's you I'm worried about." Saphira said. That smirk of hers was back. Laxus kissed her devilish smirk away and with out warning snapped his hips and buried himself in her core. Breaking the kiss, they both roared. The dragons wanted out. Saphira's claws dug into Laxus's skin as she held her inner dragon at bay. 'Not yet, not yet.' She chanted.
Laxus buried his face in Saphira's neck, grounding himself with her scent. For dragon slayers, their inner dragons are the more primal, instinctual part of themselves. During the marking of a mate is one of the times when the inner dragon can break free and merge with the slayer. But the slayers in turn loose control during that time.
Regaining control, Saphira removed her claws from Laxus's shoulders and bucked into him, letting him know she was ready. Supporting himself with his right arm, he removed his face from her neck. Grabbing her right hand with his left, he threaded their fingers together and rested their hands by her face. Leaning down to kiss her, he pulled out a little and pushed back in. After received a pleased hum, Laxus went gradually went faster.
Soon both their bodies were covered in a layer of sweat. Both moving together in harmony, pushing for that final climax. Staring into each other's eyes, Saphira started to clamp down on him like a vice. Laxus's thrusts became erratic. And the dragons were set free. Their eyes glowed brighter than before and tiny scales appeared in small patches on their face and bodies. And finally, their teeth became longer and sharper.
Faster, faster, almost there!
Saphira came first, throwing her head back and letting out a deafening primal roar. A thrust later, Laxus followed, spilling his seed inside her waiting core. He too let out a frighting inhuman roar. Both dragon slayers then bit into the others shoulder. The skin was easily pierced with their dragon like teeth. Laxus took a bit of Saphira into him as she took him into her. A glow surrounded them as her semi-age petrification magic merged with his magic, slowing his age progression.
All of Magnolia woke with a start as the roars were heard across town, but most went to bed without a worry. A thunderstorm rolled in after the roars were heard. And the "roars" were written of as thunder. The dragon slayers that were spread out across town knew better. Most of them smirked and went back to sleep, but Erik had stayed awake a little longer. He to had made Kinana his that night, but his roar was no where near as loud as either of them. 'I'm so glad Kinana's place is miles away from them right now...'
(Line Break)
The next morning, Saphira woke up before dawn and found herself safely tucked away against her mate's chest. Saphira knew she had to leave soon so she reveled in the warmth and safety that radiated of him for just a few moments longer.
Then quietly she climbed out of bed, but as she did there was a small amount of pain on her left shoulder. 'Hm that's right... I have a mate mark now' Saphira thought happily. Finally, everything she had ever wanted was within arms reach. She just had to deal with Acnologia. She walked over to the other side of the bed and kissed Laxus's forehead. "I'll be back. I promise."
Walking into her closet, she headed straight for a box stored in the very back. Inside was her gear from her days as an assassin. Quickly she grabbed a pair of black pants, a black turtle neck long sleeved top and all the scent less shampoo and soap she could find. Showering was where she spent most of her time. Saphira had to be meticulous and wash away all the smells from last night. If Acnologia smelled Laxus on her, he'd probably attack the guild first, before their surprise attack even started.
Stepping out of the shower, Saphira caught a glimpse of her shoulder in the mirror. Turning to see it more clearly she saw a sapphire lightning bolt shine against her pale skin. Tracing it with her finger she couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. 'It's perfect.' she thought.
After putting her clothes on and pulling her hair up into a high pony tail, she began to armor up. Throwing knives easily slid into their slots in her boots and hidden pockets on her pants, a set of short swords were strapped to her back, and she tucked a few lock picking items into her hair. Pulling her turtle neck up over her mouth and nose, she took one more look back at her sleeping mate. 'This is the best option... I know it is.'
With that thought she walked out of her house and used her lightning to teleport her to Peace Village and then from there she teleported to the edge of the Phoenix Forest. She was trying to get caught, so she figured announcing her arrival with a lightning strike was a good way to get noticed.
'Alright! come and find me Rea!'
