Chapter 8: Body Shots

We shopped for half of the fucking day. Why did we have to go to six stores just for a damn pair of shoes? They were some great shoes too. They were black leather ankle boots with metal spikes all over them. The metal matched the metal I put on the dress earlier. They easily cost almost a quarter of what I made on my last job too, which was a lot. I would never tell her that though. She seemed to be having an amazing day and I was glad she shared it with me. As much as I didn't want to shop I did want her to be happy. The smile on her face was contagious and it made me smile just as much. I tried to hide it the best I could though and I would never admit to having these types of emotions. I had a reputation to uphold damnit. This woman broke so many barriers in me.

It took everything in me not to continue kissing her earlier and all I wanted to do is kiss her again throughout the whole night. I've wanted her for a while now and now that she's shown that she was interested in returning those feelings I was going to do everything to keep her happy and with me. That's what she deserved. I know I was being selfish and she deserved a better man than me, but I wasn't going to let that stop me. I've put her through shit that no one should ever have to endure. If she forgave me and trusted me now than I wasn't going to drag the past into this. I would be a fucking idiot to ruin my chances because I harped about my past. I was a completely different man!

I was just about to walk into the guild when I saw Bunny walking this way in her new outfit. She looked good. No fuck that. She looked amazing. I felt myself immediately get hard looking at her. She looked at me with a dazzling smile. I noticed that she was carrying a bunch of papers, probably for Levy. Earlier we ran to the guild to talk to Cana and Laxus and she spoke to Levy promising a chapters. Levy was thrilled. Finishing her conversation with Levy we looked for Cana and Laxus and agreed to meet back in about an hour and a half later. Cana followed Lucy back to her place and was talking about dancing. I couldn't dance so I was not looking forward to it. Right after they were leaving I remember the look on Laxus' face as he looked over at me. "What's going on between you two? I smelt you on her."

"She kissed me." His eyes were as large as saucers when I said this. I smirked at him as I thought he was going to go in to clap me on the shoulder and congratulate me but I was dead wrong. He punched me in the damn face. "What the fuck was that for Spark Plug?" He scowled at me and grabbed my vest pulling me towards him. His lightning swirled around me and we teleported to his house. I've only been here one other time and knew that it was near my house so at least I had a shorter walk now, but I knew that Laxus was furious with me. I was not looking forward to a lecture from the Lightning Bulb. "What do you mean she kissed you?"

"Well, I thought you were smart enough to understand that, but maybe you are much more innocent than I thought. Well, a kiss is a –"

"I know what a kiss is Metal Face! I just want to know what happened that made her do that! When I went out with her she wasn't even looking at you!" Well, I guess that's true. I can understand what he was talking about. "Honestly, I don't know. After the mission together she seemed closer to me and when I was helping her with her dress she kissed me. You already knew that I was interested in her so you also know I'm not going to do anything to fuck it up." He nodded and opened the front door to let me out. "Just remember that she's kin to me. You understand how important she is because of that. I will kill you if you ever hurt her." His threat was a promise and I knew he would follow through if I hurt her in any way.

Bunny just reached the door when my thoughts finished. I opened the door for her and put my hand on her lower back. I felt the shiver run up her and didn't even notice Cana behind her smiling like the damn Cheshire cat. "Hitting that?" She winked at me as she walked in. I scowled at her and was thankful that Bunny didn't hear her. "Let's grab some food before we get going. We are just waiting on Princess Light her up to get here."

"Princess light her up?" Cana and Bunny both looked at me laughing hard at the insult. I just shrugged and went to sit down at my booth. They went over to Mira probably to girl chat. It's not right to listen in, but that wasn't going to stop me. I heard Mira squeal when they walked up. She had damn hearts in her eyes and that was always trouble! "Look at you two! You look so sexy! Where are you going?" They told her about our dinner and club plans and I could see the hearts continue to grow in the she devils eyes. "Is it a date? Are you guys dating them?" Now this would be an answer I was interested in. Cana beat Bunny in answering. "No, but I don't think our little virgin over here is going to remain that way much longer spending time with tall dark and broody over there." I watched her look at me and wink again. "I may even be willing to bet that her innocence will be wiped away within the next twenty four hours." I watched Bunny's reaction and was surprised to see her blushing, but not denying it or getting angry.

"Yeah, I was actually thinking the same. Well, depending on how the night goes." Holy shit! Did she really say that? I apparently wasn't the only one who was surprised because Cana started laughing and celebrating while Mira squealed in excitement. "I don't know though, I mean I kissed him earlier and he was into it, but I don't know if he'd want to be with me that way?" It took everything in me not to get up and pin her to the damn bar just to prove to her that I am most definitely into her that way. "Are you kidding me Luce? Look at you? He would be an idiot if he didn't want you! You're the sweetest person I know and your fucking hot as hell! You're the perfect package. Trust me he is interested." I saw her bite her lip in hesitation before she blushed and nodded her head.

"Yeah, speaking of perfect specimens. Where the hell is your man Cana? I'm hungry and want to leave." Laxus showed up a few minutes later and we took off to the restaurant outside of town. It was a small Italian place and was pretty amazing. We chatted about their job and Bunny went on and on about her new keys and fighting abilities. Laxus promised to fight her tomorrow and see them for himself, which instantly made me jealous, but I would never admit it. After dinner we made our way to the new club.

Laxus and myself groaned as we walked in and felt the strong vibrations from the very loud music. Cana led the way going straight to the back of the club near a table off by itself in the dark. "This is perfect. Now we can do what we want and people won't see." She winked at us and ran over to the bar making an order. She came back with a shit eating grin on her face and looked at Bunny. "You ready for this girl?"

"Ready for what? Cana what did you do?" She just smirked as a waiter came over with four drinks and three shots for each of them. "Shots first bitch!" Cana pushed all of the shots to their designated person and raised hers in the air screaming, "to good friends and a great lay!" We all chuckled and downed the tequila. I watched Bunny take her shot and was pretty impressed that she didn't make a face. Granted I shouldn't be too surprised. Lately, I saw her and Cana drinking together all the time. Cana must have gotten her trashed more than she let on. Cana and Laxus left the table after all of the drinks were gone to go dancing. Luckily for me, this left Bunny alone in a dark corner with me. With the alcohol pumping through my veins I knew I could kiss her again and also was confident enough that she would kiss me back. I walked over to her and wrapped my hand around one of the metal chains on her hip. She looked up at me with a smile and a sexy blush on her face and I just had to feel her lips on mine again. I couldn't wait anymore.

My other hand rested on her cheek as I pressed our lips together for the second time that day. She moaned at my actions, which in turn allowed my tongue to come out and play. We fought for dominance and I wanted to let her win the moment I felt her stand from her chair and push herself into me. I felt her breasts against my chest and could smell the arousal pouring off of her. I didn't even have a question who that dream was about that one day. It had to be about me. We must have been kissing for a while because Cana came back whistling at the erotic display and Laxus smacked me against the head to get my attention. I growled dangerously at him and then looked at Bunny shocked. My growl made her arousal stronger. Very interesting.

Cana waved her hand to the waiter to call him over and ordered more shots. Great. We were all getting tipsy already. It was already well past midnight and I knew we would have to leave soon. I mean I forced Bunny up at five for fucks sake. Once the waiter came back my eyes got large. Cana wouldn't? This is Cana, of course she would! On the table were eight shots of tequila with lime and salt. "Let's play a game!" We all looked wary. "There are two shots for all of us. The rules are simple. You can't lick the same place twice. That counts for all of us. For example, if Lucy goes first and picks the neck then no one can do the neck. We have to be creative. I'll start!" She pushed Laxus into the chair and proceeded to lick his wrist and put the salt there. She took the shot, sucked the salt off of his skin, and then rolled her tongue into his mouth to pull the lime into hers.

Laxus went next and picked Cana's chest. Thank Mavis. I knew Bunny would kill me if I had done that. Although when I looked at her, because I was next, she looked jealous. I smirked knowing damn well that she wouldn't be jealous in a moment. I gently pushed her hair behind her back and licked her collar to her ear slowly. Lightly blowing and biting a little as I went. Luckily my body blocked most of their view, but I could feel Laxus' glare on my back. Before pulling away I gently nibbled at her earlobe making her stifle a moan. She was so responsive and I couldn't wait to push that thought. I gently placed the lime in her mouth and grabbed the salt. The shot went down fast and by the time I was going for the lime I was devastated that my turn was almost over. I put my lips on hers and lightly traced her lips with my tongue. I slipped it in and pulled the lime back into my mouth.

When it was her turn she picked my stomach. She winked at me and then looked over at Cana. "I've always wanted to lick these abs don't you agree?" Even Cana blushed at her statement. She licked up my abs and moaned softly. I'm sure Laxus is going to kill me at this point, but honestly I didn't care. Her tongue on me was amazing. Before she pulled away she bit down just hard enough to make a breath hiss out of me. This damn woman was going to be the death of me. She took her shot sucked on my abs again this time leaving a mark. I had to bite back a moan when she started to suck hard and gently nibble at my skin, but before I pulled her away she stopped on her own and moved up me to take the lime. Her lips gently touched mine and instead of moving her tongue to wrap around the lime she took her tongue and shoved the lime in my mouth. I felt the smile on her lips and knew it was going to be a good kiss. She bit down on my lip, a little too hard, but I loved it. She wasn't being cautious with me. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her as close as I could. I saw from the corner of my eye that Cana was dragging a scowling Laxus away from the table again. Probably to give us privacy.

Her tongue wrestled with mine. Her arms, which were tight around her, loosened so I could move my hand across her skin. My hand ran across her arms and I linked her hands with mine. Her face pulled away from mine and I wanted to complain. "You know, if you dance with me then you can touch me more." She didn't have to try and sell me. If she wanted to dance then I would dance with her. Whether I enjoyed dancing or not, whatever she wanted I would make sure she got It.

I kissed her nose lightly and allowed her to pull away. She kept her hands in mine and pulled me behind her to a dark corner in the back of the club. She pulled our arms up and ground her ass against me. I groaned at her actions and wanted to touch her more. She must have read my mind because she put our hands in my hair and then let my hands go. Her hands intertwined in my hair and I felt her pull my head down slightly. My mouth landed on her shoulder and I made sure to kiss and bite all over her shoulder, neck, and jawline. She moaned and it made my erection painfully hard. I ran my hands down her sides making her shiver and then rested them on her hips. I gripped probably harder than I should have, but she didn't complain and pulled her flush against me.

My hand made it's way to her chin and tilted her head back so our lips would meet. I couldn't stop myself from kissing her. She released this beast in me and all the dragon in me wanted to do was take control of this situation and make her mine. I've been with many women when I was in Phantom Lord, but I've never felt this. This was primal. This was a need. I would never force Bunny into anything, but damn if I didn't want her. Need her. She spun herself in my arms and pushed me into the wall. I growled at her with approval. My hands grabbed at her ass and I switched our positions so she was against the wall. I was so glad that we were in a dark corner that no one could really see.

Her dress rode of slightly and I was able to see the black lace underneath. Fuck that's hot. Her legs wrapped around me as her hands ran up my shirt. I held her up easily, but I wanted to run my hands all over her. I pushed her core against me and rubbed my erection against her. I heard her breath catch and knew we should stop before I completely let the dragon out and take the situation into his own hands. My control was slipping and I wanted to take the next step, but I didn't think she was ready for that.

"We should leave." Her breathless voice made it even harder for me to concentrate. "Bunny, do you want me to take you home?" She looked at me with confusion for a moment before thinking about what she wanted. "Can we stay in the hotel here for the night? It's closer." I suppose we could, but I wasn't sure if she was hinting towards us staying together or going our separate ways. "Yeah, we can get you a room."

"No. Gajeel, that's not what I meant. I meant for us. That is unless you don't want to." She had a blush on her face. "Of course I want to Bunny! However, you've been drinking and we've been hot and heavy all night. I don't want you to regret a decision in the morning. How about this? I will get us a room for tonight and tomorrow night. If you still want to in the morning then I will keep you in that room until you can't talk anymore. If you decide you don't want to, then we will hang out by the pool and train some more." She grabbed me with enthusiasm and pulled my lips to hers. "You're amazing Gajeel!" Fuck, I wanted her. Tonight was going to be pure torture. I already decided that I would stay with her, but now we had to tell Cana and Laxus.

I had to tread lightly with Laxus. If I said the wrong thing the fucking lightning slayer would kick my ass. Bunny was his sister and I didn't want him to get the wrong idea. He knew I was in love with her, but I didn't want him to think I was going to take advantage of her. We found them at the table drinking the rest of the shots. It looked like they were pretty hot and heavy themselves. Cana raised an eyebrow when I approached with a blushing Bunny behind me. "Where have you two been?" She winked at me and I just rolled my eyes. "Fuck off drunk. We're going to call it a night. I think we're going to stay her for a vacation day and then we will be back at the guild the next day, you guys okay on your own?" Laxus got up and pulled me aside making me let go of Bunny's hand.

"What the fuck are you doing? She's a virgin and drunk!" I knew he would automatically think that. What an ass. "We're not going to have sex. I already turned her down for tonight. I will take her to a hotel though. If she still wants me tomorrow than I will make sure I please her and you will not interfere, is that clear?" Laxus looked at him with a shocked look on his face, probably because no one ever put him in his place besides Gramps. "Good Metal Face! I'm proud of you then. Be good to her. If she comes back unhappy I'm killing you." Such a fucking drama queen.

I walked back over to Bunny and dragged her to one of the high-class hotels. I made sure that we got a suite knowing that she would be overly thrilled in the morning when she woke up. She'd have a large Jacuzzi in the room and king size bed to snuggle in. Plus, the room came with room service and if I got my way we wouldn't be leaving the room until we checked out. She was falling asleep by the time we got to the hotel and I decided in the elevator to pick her up. The alcohol must have finally gotten to her because she fell asleep before I even reached the room. I put her on the bed and then thought about how she was going to sleep in the dress. Would she be mad if I took her clothes off? It was like her spirits were watching because the one with the pink hair came out.

"Punishment?"

"What!" She smiled sweetly at me and then walked over to Bunny with a tank top and a pair of shorts. "I will change her if you want to go change yourself." I nodded and went into the bathroom. By the time I came out the spirit was gone and Bunny was sound asleep under the blankets. I got in the bed next to her and had to groan at the silk against my body. Stupid damn spirit. I pulled her into me more and went to sleep with her in my arms.

ALRIGHTY...I want to thank everyone who messaged me with condolences. It meant a lot, thank you.

The next chapter will mainly JUST be smut :) Excited? Lots of Gajeel love. I considered doing it in this chapter, but I would rather have it in Lucy's POV.
