Ok, being mated to 6 foot sinful definitely came with more perks than Lucy had expected. One being the fact their master bedroom had a huge bathroom with a gloriously large tub. The other? Yeah moments like now.
She'd taken a day job with Natsu and company, just to the village an hour south of Magnolia. They were getting everything together to bring up to Magnolia for their villages row of booths at the upcoming Harvest Festival that began that weekend and needed people to watch over things while everyone was coming and going, guard all of the art, crafts, items being entered in the various contests as well as all of the pumpkins, corn, potatoes and other vegetables they would be selling.
The Magnolia Harvest Festival was the largest in the area, even people from Oshiban came down for it and all of the towns in between to buy/sell/trade and then everything not sold was loaded onto the "Harvest Trains" to leave Magnolias depot, one going to Hargeon to ship things out, one headed for Crocus where merchants and citizens would come to enjoy a massive open market following the trains arrival.
It was a pretty big deal, and Magnolia was central to it because of its position as a hub city for the Eastern part of Fiore.
So they'd gone down to do a little guard duty and help get everything ready. The pay had been good and for once, Natsu and the others hadn't broken anything.
Now, she was walking into a house, it was odd thinking this was now her home, still such a new idea that her apartment was gone. She had to give it to him though, when Laxus Dreyar nested, he did it well.
She stopped once the door was closed behind her, the lock set. She tip toed through the dark house, careful, trying for once not to be a total clutz. She knew he'd worked all day. Fairy Tail had a lot going on, was participating in the festival with a couple of booths and the Guild Hall was going to hold the Harvest Queen competition (that she planned to enter).
He'd taken on the little pile of hers too so she could go on the job and get out of the office. Master Makarov was filtering work to her, reminding her often she would be running the guild at Laxus' side one day and she needed to learn the ropes.
It was daunting at times, all that she had suddenly taken into her life. She couldn't say that Laxus himself was new, she'd known him for years, and, when she thought about it, really was honest with herself, since tenrou, watching him come in like he had to fight with them, giving all he had to Natsu so that someone bearing the guild seal could down its enemy.
He could have died doing what he'd done and he'd laid his life down so willingly for Fairy Tail. He'd done it again with the particles he'd breathed into himself, laid his life down to protect others. She'd fallen for him at Tenrou, and fallen a little more with each display of the man he was becoming, of the deep loyalty and devotion, the love he had for their guild.
He stood to become a great Guildmaster, and she would be right by his side every step of the way.
That was where the love was, standing in the doorway of their bedroom she chewed her lip, he was asleep, stretched out on his back, one arm above his head the other at his side, it wasn't cold in the house, he kept it warm, only a sheet and soft blanket lay over him but it rested low on his body, one side so low she got a good view of a bare hip and flank.
This was where the lust was she thought wickedly. Moonlight lit the room so she could see most of him, make out the tattoo on his left easily. God no man should look as good as he did naked, it just wasn't fucking fair to her.
She couldn't even try to ever resist the man, she could however…smiling wickedly she reached up to the mark on her neck and trailed a finger over it, let herself go into her lusty thoughts, let her eyes roam over that god-like body of his.
When her finger trailed over her mark he stirred, making a low noise, drawing in a deeper breath. If he touched the mark, he sent pleasure through her, if she touched it….
He writhed under the sheets slightly and she saw what she wanted to starting to tent them and licked her finger then rubbed firmly over her mark drawing a moan from him and almost one from herself just watching him. She reached carefully, pulling at the base of the blankets so they slid lower and had to close her eyes and bite back the moan of want that came again as the sheets slipped away from him.
She absolutely loved that he slept naked most of the time. Shedding her clothes silently she bent over him, running her tongue up his proudly erect member.
"Lucy.." She sank to her knees, pressing her head against the side of the bed, dear God him moaning out her name in his sleep just made her want to weep. Her core certainly was, she'd gone from tired and glad to be home to so overwhelmed with need she was almost ashamed of herself…almost.
He was hers, her mate, her fiancé, she had every right to lust after him and enjoy his body. Every…last…delicious…inch.
Moving again she swung her leg over him, carefully grasping him not too hard, and sinking so he entered her, once she had him partly inside of her she slid the rest of the way onto the bed in one swift move she was damn proud of and came down hard, unable to stop the moan that rolled out of her as he filled her.
Trailing her fingers over her mark again she started riding him and he gasped awake, eyes flying wide, hands gripping her hips and as soon as his eyes met hers he threw his head back, ramming his hips up to meet her next thrust.
"Fuck!...Lucy…" He groaned and she grinned, rolling her hips "That's the idea…" She said, swirling her finger over the mark again and delighting in him gasping and bucking himself into her. "Shit.." he grit his teeth as she rode him, trying to get his head out of the sleepy fog, transition from the wet dream he'd suddenly been in to the incredibly mind blowing reality on top of him.
He had no hope, she'd figured out she could use the mark on him while at the beach house, like she'd figured out she could flood him with dirty thoughts and make waves of lust hit him. He'd always prided himself on being good in bed, had never doubted at all his ability to drive a woman mad with pleasure but in Lucy he'd met his damn match.
The woman knew how to drive him insane and seemed to come up with new ways all the time, she sure had surprised him tonight. She should be exhausted, she'd worked from dawn well into the night but holy Fuck she was on him so hard he almost couldn't keep up.
The moon washing over her creamy skin, her breasts lifting and falling with her rhythm, she even cupped one, held it, let him see her fingers dig into the soft flesh, making his mouth go dry and his hands itch to join hers.
He grasped the other, sat up, hands moving to grasp her full round ass to keep her pressed against him as he tucked his legs under him and drew her against his chest, now, now she could ride and he could help, add his strength to hers and have access to her pouty lips and kiss that wicked grin from her mouth.
Her nails raked over his back and he hissed, pressing his face into her neck, scraping his sharp teeth over her skin, licking away the tiny beads of blood that sprang up along the red lines he left. He knew she'd drawn blood in places on him, could feel it, her boldness drawing an approving rumble from him.
Lucy couldn't imagine ever reaching a point when Laxus didn't drive her to this, into this hungry, demanding rough and lusty creature he seemed to bring out in her. She reveled in it, it was a side of her she had only dreamed with before, kept to herself and let out in private sometimes but now she delighted in visiting it on her mate.
That he welcomed it so hungrily, didn't act like it was odd or even surprising to him had made her curious and when she had drug him to his end and they shared the shattering bliss of it and laid back spent on the bed she drug herself to where she could meet his sleepy gaze.
"It doesn't surprise you…that I'm not all cutesy and shy in bed?" She asked. He laughed, hugging her to him. "No, not even a little, beautiful. I could sense it, made me want you more, made me ache for you at times when I'd see all the hints of it. I knew you'd be my match in bed as well as in every other way and Fuck woman…are you ever!" He kissed her and even as bone tired as she was she felt her blood heat.
"Now..sleep woman before I decide another round is in order and we end up staying awake all night." He warned. She snuggled down in his arms yawning.
"You're not going to wake me up eating me out or something are you…?" She asked warily, he laughed again, arms tightening briefly around her and teeth pinching the skin at her shoulder.
"I'll make no promises on that…I enjoy it too much…" he chuckled. Pulling her firmly against him and burying his nose in her hair.
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
The Harvest festival was always a great deal of fun, food, music, dancing and excitement. Though the first day saw Laxus and Lucy both working far too much to enjoy anything, the second day he managed to convince his Grandfather to let him delegate a little more so he and his mate could actually spend some time together.
They were walking, enjoying just being there amid all the excitement. Well, Lucy was, Laxus not as much but he'd walk through hell for his mate if it made her happy. They'd stopped to eat, and sat down on a bench just off the main walkway between some booths and Lucy watched a heavy lock of golden hair fall forward on his brow.
Leaning forward she brushed it aside and then, so close to those mesmerizing eyes of his, she leaned in and caught his mouth in a heated kiss, drawing a chuckle from him.
"What are you finding so funny?" She asked, smiling as she sat but pressed up against his side, just needing the contact on the brisk day of his warm comforting bulk.
"You are insatiable, not a complaint, just an observation." He grinned.
"What? I am not…" She denied. He smiled, leaning close to her, his warm breath fanning over her neck, "You work until exhausted, come home and we have sex, you attacked me in the office this morning…" He said and she gasped, in shock "I did NOT attack you Laxus Dreyar, you were flirting with me!" She protested.
"I was teasing, I didn't come over to you grab your crotch and push my tongue in your mouth….I just thought about it." He admitted the last with a rakish smile and Lucy frowned.
He made it sound like she was some oversexed vamp! She was his mate!
"Ok, first off, you have started things way more often than me, second, I'm your mate, you put Dragon lust into me now you gotta live with it Sparky." She smiled again, her nose touching his as their eyes clashed defiantly.
God he loved how she rose to challenge him, every fucking time, she never backed down, it was hot as hell…but he was teasing her, trying to make a point…
"Uh uh, First off, YOU have initiated more often than me, using the mark to get me hard while I'm asleep so I wake up to you riding me so hard I can barely breathe…again…not a complaint, an observation. Second, that lust is passing, we're fully mated now, sure you can stir it up in me touching the mark, I can stir it in you doing the same thing and again, I'm not complaining about your insatiable desires Blondie, just observing them, giving them the appreciative nod they deserve. I like that you can't keep your hands off me." He smirked.
Lucys mouth fell open. "I can't…!" She narrowed her eyes "Ok…I won't be initiating the next time, I bet you you'll be after me way before I'm after you, you never keep your hands to yourself, your hand was resting on my ass while I was looking at that last booth and while we were buying food!" She accused.
Laxus shrugged "You've got an incredible ass Blondie, now that it's mine to touch I like to indulge, just a little groping, not initiating sex like grabbing my dick and sliding your tongue in my mouth." He whispered.
"You were whispering about sucking on my tits, wanting to get your hands up my skirt and bend me over the desk!" She hissed, carefully keeping her voice low, he could hear her fine, she just wanted to make sure nobody else did.
"All true, all things I wanted to do, none of them actual physical contact." He pointed out. "But you want to bet? Which one of us gives in and finally demands sex? Lets make it a bet then beautiful, we're plenty busy with the festival running through the week. Here's the bet, day by day until the festival ends, whoever makes a physical sexual advance on the other loses that day, the one with the fewest losses at the end of the last day of the festival…wins." He offered, the smirk never faltering.
Lucy smiled "And what do I win when I win this?" She asked, he scoffed and she smiled "One week.' She said with a grin. He quirked a brow… "Of?"
"Slavery, If I win you do whatever I ask for a week, rub my feet, lick anything I tell you too…you get the idea." She was almost beaming. She could so win this, each day counting as its own win or lose, 5 days in total if they didn't count today.
"I'm already your slave woman…but deal, I'll have you work on that wonderful mouth work you're so good at…you'll fit nicely on your knees under my desk…" He was looking at her wickedly and she licked her lips. "Starting tomarrow?" She asked, he nodded "Tomarrow, if you wake me up riding me you lose." He chuckled.
They resumed their walking the festival, but their teasing of each other was pretty merciless. Lucys reasoning was she needed to get all the gropes and stolen kisses she enjoyed out of her system and Laxus was of the same mind set.
It made for a deeply arousing, sexually charged day for sure. Laxus had just swept Lucy into his arms for another kiss when her glance passed over a dancing area on their way to him and she froze, patting Laxus chest and making him turn in curiosity.
There participating in the rousing dancing was Bickslow, and it was clear what he was doing, teaching Erza how to dance.
Laxus often teased the Seith that if he ever gave up working as a mage he could become a dance teacher or a stripper. Lucy absolutely mourned the loss of that dance clinic he hadn't been able to ask her to…because of the very woman he was swinging around the dancefloor now.
Erza looked confused, a little overwhelmed, and kept blushing when she would mis-step but Bickslow was a masterful dancer himself and a strong lead so he would just redirect her, get her back in rhythm and kept her going, occasionally saying something that made the normally almost emotionless woman smile and even laugh.
"Told you Bix could handle her, nothing bothers that man much, most easy going guy I've ever met." Laxus chuckled.
"Counsellor did her first visit of "their" house last week, wasn't happy they were in separate rooms at all." Lucy told him. Laxus frowned "I warned them they had to make it look like they were sleeping together, did Gray and Cana pass allright?"
Lucy smirked "Gray and Cana were…ahhh…busy when the counsellor got there, Gray answered the door in a towel and Cana had one of his shirts on, yeah, they passed."
Laxus snorted "Ok…maybe they won't be worrying about terminating the marriage at the end of the 6 months."
He'd handed over watching the two booze and cake crossed couples to Lucy as one of her new duties in training. It wasn't heavily involved which he figured was a good thing since she was buried in planning their wedding that was looming just two more months away.
She was helping Mira and Max plan parties too, had dug into Halloween planning with a vengeance and had a haunted house planned that he was actually looking forward to, Bickslow and several others had been drafter to help with it and one of the old ruined houses left over from Tartaros had been leased from the city.
Laki, Elfman, Redus, Bickslow Levy and Gajeel had all been drafted to help prepare it. The idea was amazing, Max had latched onto it and had started promoting it like crazy and the whole city was looking forward to Fairy Tails Halloween party now.
With the haunted house, pumpkin tossing, carving and pie eating contests along with an actual costume contest and dance party the Guild already had started to look like something out of a nightmare as all of the decorating had begun in earnest so that during the Harvest Festival while people came to the hall for the Miss Harvest Festival contest on the last day they could promote the Guilds Halloween blow out.
The proceeds were going to the city renovation funds to help people still trying to rebuild after the devastation of Tartaros.
He was proud of Lucy, her ideas were brilliant and with Himself, the Master, Max and Mira to back them up they would bring a lot of great things to the guild.
Hard to believe it had only been a month since the Resort opened and he'd finally been given an opening to make his bid for Lucy. He'd had to push hard, swallow so much of his own pride and fear he'd damn near gagged on it, but the prize was in his arms, smiling watching their friends.
"Do you think…that they…? I mean, Bickslow is so sweet but he's pretty wild and Erza is so hung up on Jellal and so…somber…" She wasn't really sure what she was watching really. Erza was enjoying herself and there was no sake in sight. Bickslow could be charming when he wanted to be, the man was brilliant and uncannily observant.
Laxus shrugged, stumped on that one. "Bickslow is my best friend, I'd trust him with my life, he's always been dealt a rough hand. Women take to him because he's got a good body a handsome face and that carefree wildness, life of the party type stuff, but they use him. He's been used a lot really, they sleep with him, use him and leave before the sun comes up." Laxus shook his head, on a smaller scale he'd dealt with the same thing, women wanted him for his body and his rough persona, but they wanted to have a rough hard fuck and wobble home on weak legs and not look back.
He'd had some that really wanted him though, wanted to nail him down to commitments, Bickslow had not.
His heart went out to his friend that way, Bix was, as Lucy said, a good man, and he wanted a relationship, wanted a woman to dote on and treat like a queen, it was his personality to lavish affection on the people he cared about. He knew it had been a little knife twist when he had won Lucy.
If She'd gotten Bickslow that night Laxus wondered if the wedding being planned would have ended up being Lucy and Bix….but he shook the idea.
Lucy was meant to be his, he'd felt it from the moment he'd laid eyes on her and his dragon was never wrong about things. She'd felt it too, the magic was there, and she would have felt nothing if it hadn't been right.
Watching his friend coaxing fun out of Erza, spin the woman around on the dance floor and make her look like she belonged there, he didn't know about that pair. What he hoped most was that Erza didn't end up like all the others, using Bickslow, getting 6 months of enjoyment out of him then leaving a dejected Seith mage behind her.
Bickslow wore his heart on his sleeve where women were concerned, and had a terrible habit of throwing himself way into harms way to brighten up a sad woman. They were like flames to the mans moth, he couldn't resist trying to brighten a gloomy heart, soul really, Laxus knew Bickslow looked, kept track of their guildmates souls, he probably knew more about how Erza was doing than Erza herself did. If he saw sadness there, the damn man would do all he could to drive it away, he couldn't leave injured souls without trying to heal them, it was Bickslows greatest weakness.
Laxus knew Titania too, knew her tragic past, the unrequited love she wallowed in worse than Juvia but quieter. He didn't know what to do, the pair had to go through what they were going through, both were so emotionally vulnerable in their own ways.
"If she uses him and ditches him, I'll sure think a lot less of her." He said firmly and Lucy frowned. "Erza wouldn't willingly do that though." Lucy said confidently.
"Lucy, she may not be able to help herself." Laxus replied.
