Chapter 11
Cobra gave a low growl as he brought Lucy toward him, capturing her lips with his and shivering in delight at the sweet gasping moan that she released. Moving backwards, he stepped into the bathroom and turned them so her back was to the counter. Picking her up with ease, he groaned in delight as she automatically wrapped her legs around his hips to help balance her weight, in the process causing their cores to rub together.
Easing her onto the counter, he finally broke their kiss and lowered his head to nibble at the juncture where her neck and shoulder met. Loving the little mewls of pleasure and shivers that he felt shoot through her. Only to nearly bite his tongue off as she scooted to the edge of the counter to rub their cores together again. Giving a growl, he straightened and captured her in another kiss, this one almost punishing as he thrust his tongue into her mouth to tangle with hers. Leaving her gasping and wriggling on the counter as she returned all the passion that he was giving her.
Pulling back when air became too scarce, he breathed deeply as she panted and stared at him through dazed eyes. His senses filled with nothing but her smell, the feel of her, and the small sounds that she was making. Causing pleasure to thrum through him since he knew that she was his mate, and that he was hers. They complimented each other in a way that no one else could, and that they only sought out one another.
A warm feeling settled into his chest, causing him to give a low, soothing growl in the back of his throat as he leaned forward and carefully kissed her eyelids. Trailing his lips down her cheek, along her jawline, and on the edge of her lips. He might have failed at courting her in a typical fashion, but he wouldn't fail at showing her how much she meant to him. That out of all the people in the world, she was the one he would lay his life down for, and would move mountains for. That she was his everything.
"Cobra." She whispered, and he met her gaze and smiled as he saw nothing but desire and love in her eyes, and knew that his eye reflected the same. Pressing another tender kiss to her lips, he pulled back and turned on the shower before looking over his shoulder at her. He knew that she had never had any physical contact with another male before, at least nothing beyond hugging, and wanted to make sure that she was truly ready. A dragon's mating was a life long bond, with only a few ways to break it. Cobra wanted to make sure that she knew that, and that she was prepared for it.
"Cobra?" The whisper that came from her caused him to blink, and gave a sigh.
"Do you know what the mating, a mate even, means to a dragon?" He asked, watching as she blinked before she began thinking of some conversations that she had with Levy.
"Well, according to Levy, the mating goes both ways once it begins. Neither mate will tolerate not being within a certain distance of each other, and that it would be best if no one was around for the few days that happens. That the slayer marks the mate, but doesn't have to wear a mark because their mate's scent alone is enough. Also, I think she said something about being able to share one another's powers." She stated, and he gave a nod.
"That's a portion of it. However, it also means that the slayer will only have eyes-or in my case eye-for their mate. No one else will be able to draw their attention. Also, that the bond also doubles as a sensor and tracking device. Say, if one of us was in trouble, the other would be able to sense it and know where to go to help. Finally, there is nothing more sacred than a mating bond. There are only three ways to break it..." He had to stop, watching as she tilted her head to the side and waited for him to continue.
"The first way, is if one of the mates die. The bond will break. However, usually if one mate dies, it drives the other one insane which usually results in their own death not long after. The second way, is if the mating process is started but never finished. The bond will weaken with each passing day, until there is nothing left of it. By process I mean that they make love, but never mark. Lastly, the one being mated can break the bond themselves. If he or she suddenly feels like they need to be free, or for whatever reason, all they have to do is tell the slayer. The bond will shatter then and there." He stated, swallowing hard at having to said all of that. However, he was making sure that she knew that there was options out if ever the need arose.
"Cobra? Why tell me all of that?" She asked, causing him to sigh and look away.
"From what I've come to understand, a lot of slayers refuse to tell their mates everything. I don't want to do that. If you...ever feel the need to escape me, I want you to know that there is a way. That you don't have to be stuck with me. I want to get it all settled right now, before it's too late to turn back." He whispered, blinking when she was suddenly before him and cupping his cheek. Her thumb brushing gently over his scar, before she stood on tiptoe and pressed a chaste kiss to his lips.
"The only way you're getting rid of me, is if you tell me to go. I will not walk away from you, Cobra. However, the fact that you would tell me an out shows me just how much you care and love me. Do you think I'll be stupid and throw that away? Hell no, I'm going to be greedy and relish in it." She whispered, causing him to hum as he leaned toward her again, capturing her lips in a slow kiss, molding their mouths together before slowly beginning to trace his hands over her body.
Giving an approving hum when she shivered and pushed her body closer. Nipping on her bottom lip, and soothing it over with his tongue, he quickly turned them while stepping forward. Placing her directly under the spray of water from the shower, and laughed at her squawk of surprise.
"Asshole!" She shouted, trying to glare at him but couldn't seem to get it right since her smile got in the way. Giving a chuckle, he captured her lips once more, and pressed her against the tiles, lifting her slightly so her legs were once again around his hips. Loving how her arms wrapped around his neck so her hands could tangle in his hair, faintly scraping at his scalp. It was like throwing gas on a fire, and a tremor shook his body as he gave a shallow thrust against her, loving the moan that he caught in his mouth.
She broke the kiss on a loud gasp as he did it once more, leaving him to pepper her cheek, jawline, and throat with kisses, nips, and love marks. All the while, his hands kneaded and massaged at the globes of her ass, making him find a new found love for her short skirts. However, he still found the clothes that restricted them from skin to skin contact to be annoying, and had to go. Now.
Stepping back, he allowed her feet to touch the shower floor, and then carefully slid his hands upward. Barely gliding them beneath the hem of her shirt, all the while watching for any sign that she was uncomfortable with the situation, or suddenly wanted to stop. Only to smile when she gave a whine and arched into his touch as he inched his hands higher. Taking the material with them, until he was finally able to pull it over her head and look at the beauty that he had revealed. Loving how a blush began to appear on her face as she resisted the natural reaction to cover herself.
"Beautiful." He whispered, pressing a quick kiss to her lips before leaning down to nibble at her collar bone as his hands traced up her sides gently and traced the underside of her breasts. Loving the little shivers of pleasure that moved through her before her arms wrapped around his back and grabbed at the material of his long coat. Giving an amused chuckle when she then slid her hands over his shoulders, onto his chest, and quickly pushed the material off of his shoulders. Causing him to stop touching her so he could allow the cloak to drop to the floor.
However, before he could touch her again, she already had a hold on his shirt and was sliding it up his chest. So, with a smirk, he allowed her to undress his torso and watched her reaction as she explored his chest. Loving the way that her small hands traced random patterns over his skin, causing his nerves to stand on edge and for his patience to be tested. He wanted nothing more than to claim her quickly, but this was her first with anyone, and he'd be damned if he was going to take her like an animal. He had more control than that!
That thought died on a gasp as she leaned forward and nipped gently at his collar bone, before soothing it over with her lips. He felt his eyes narrow, and a wanting growl escaped his lips as she did it again. Moving quickly, he grabbed her wrists in one of his and pinned them against the wall as he pressed his forehead against hers.
"Easy Bright Eyes. Don't push me like that, I wont be able to control myself." He growled out, trying to focus on what he was trying to say instead of the way she was wriggling against him. Only to blink when she gave a low, sensual hum that was nearly his undoing.
"Go ahead, lose control." She whispered, stretching her body in a way so she could whisper it in his ear, before nibbling it ever so slightly. His body tensed and a growl ripped through his throat as he captured her lips in a bruising kiss, loving how she gave a long moan and grabbed tightly to his shoulders as he released her wrists to lift her back up slightly.
Breaking from the kiss, he slipped one hand down and quickly shredded her skirt from her, and growled as she dropped her hands to tug at his pants. Stepping back, he quickly rid himself of the rest of his clothes and pressed against her. Both of them giving a long groan at finally being able to fully feel each other, and he shivered as her small hands traced up his arms to rest on his shoulders. Looking down at her, he shivered as he saw that she was awaiting a kiss, and leaned down to deliver it.
He fought for his control, even though he knew she wouldn't mind it a bit faster. He wasn't so far gone to take her without thought. He had to slow this down, or risk hurting her and not being able to forgive himself later. So, he kissed her slowly. Giving her the promise of passion to come, and carefully pulled her flush against him as he took a step back so they were both under the spray of the water. Ignoring the confused, dazed look she gave him, he held them underneath the spray for a moment, allowing the warm water to finally chase away the chill that the sudden downpour had caused.
Once he was sure that the chill was gone, he lead them out of the shower, and quickly captured her lips once more before grabbing a towel and began drying her off.
"Cobra. E.." He cut her off with yet another kiss, and a light slap to her behind that had her gasping and her arousal spiking. Causing him to give a low hum before meeting her gaze.
"Patience. We're taking this slow, even if it ends up killing me." He growled lowly, shivering as her eyes seemed to spark at the challenge. Damn, this woman was going to try to make him lose control, and damnit if that didn't excite him more.
"Well then, you better have good control, because I don't plan on making it easy." She whispered, stepping forward so her body pressed against his, and nipped at his throat. Causing a spark to shoot through him and thrust his hips forward. Only to smirk as she blinked before blushing as she felt just how much she was exciting him.
"You sure you want to initiate that challenge, Bright Eyes? Because if I win, then you'll be screaming my name all night long. At my pace." He growled, loving how she trembled and a small, wanting whimper escaped her lips. Only for her to straighten and meet his glare straight on.
"Challenge accepted." She whispered, raising on her toes quickly and pressed their lips together. Her tongue quickly slipping between his lips and tangling with his, but he wasn't about to let her take control. Tracing one hand around the side of her neck, he tilted her head and quickly dominated the kiss, and slowly began to drive her crazy with his kiss, as his other hand slowly massaged her hip and then slipped between their bodies.
He gave a laugh as she jerked sharply as he brushed against her core with his fingers, and pressed a kiss against her eyelid as she gave a groan. Only to nearly scream as he finally slipped a finger inside of her, he could only give a groan at the feel of her tight, heated passage around his finger. If it was that tight around a mere finger, he could only image for the time being what it would feel like when he buried himself deep within her.
"Cobra. Please." She whimpered, and he felt his control begin to slip again. Giving a groan, he removed his finger, lifted her up, and nearly caved as she quickly wrapped her legs around him and rubbed her core against him. Her excitement spreading to his member, and he had to still his body before he thrust into her without thinking. Leaning down, he quickly latched onto the side of her neck, finally realizing that there would be no taking there first time slow and steady. He would just have to make sure that she was feeling too much pleasure to realize the pain.
Moving quickly, he exited the bathroom and quickly went to her bedroom. With his long strides, it wasn't long before he was laying her down on her back and capturing her lips in yet another kiss. His hand grabbing onto her breast, while he balanced on his knees, and his free hand trailed back down to her core. Using more instincts than finesse, he carefully slid his finger back within her, using his thumb to brush against her small bundle of nerves.
Pulling back from the kiss, he watched as she twisted and mewled in pleasure. When she arched her back and gave a cry, he bent his head and latched onto her breast. Giving a pleasurable growl as her hands tangled harshly into his hair, trying to both pull him closer and push him away. He knew that he was probably overstimulating her, but it had to be done. Which was why he eased a second finger into her passage, just barely slowing the thrusts of his fingers as she gasped and began rocking her hips with the rhythm.
He could tell that she was on the cusp of coming undone, and straightened himself as he continued to pleasure her. In truth, just seeing her in such a state of ecstasy was pushing him to the edge as well, but such was the mating. Just being able to know that he could bring her such pleasure was enough to give him equal pleasure. Meaning that it wouldn't be long until he placed his mark on her.
He felt her passage begin to tighten again, and gave a growl as she screamed out his name. Moving quickly, he removed his fingers, and then sheathed his member deep within her. Wincing as he tore through her barrier, and felt his chest tighten as she gasped and her eyes widened briefly. Had he messed up and hurt her even more? Those thoughts died as she jerked sharply against him, her apparent double climax causing her to tighten on him to an almost painful level. Giving a groan, he began to thrust into her, prolonging her climax until he felt his own approaching quick. Growling in pleasure as she convulsed around him, her arms winding around him and her nails digging sharply into his back. He faintly took notice that his scales were beginning to appear, and knew that it was almost time to mark her.
Just as she screamed out his name on a third orgasm, he growled out hers and bit deep into the juncture of her neck. His fangs breaking her skin, and combining the pleasure they both felt as their magic combined. Giving a shiver at the indescribable feeling washing over him, he thrust one last time and released himself deep within her.
It took a moment for him to rein his control back in enough to retract his fangs from her neck, looking proudly at the two marks that now showed she was his, and gave a contented growl as small, purple scales began to appear around them. Shifting to the side, he pressed a languid kiss to her lips before carefully withdrawing from her, nuzzling into her neck as she whimpered and gave a shiver. He knew he had been too rough with her, and she would feel it in the morning no doubt, but that was something he would deal with when the time came. At the moment, he just wanted to lay beside her and hold her close.
The first thing that Lucy realized when she awoke was that she was sore. Not in a terrible, painful way, but in a way that it was slightly uncomfortable and stiff. If she didn't recall what she had done with Cobra last night, she would have probably been worried about it, but since she did recall, she felt nothing but bliss. She couldn't help the smile that crossed her features, before she snuggled closer to her sleeping dragon slayer. Hers. Plain and simple as that. With the mating bond no one would ever come between them, or draw his attention away from her in a lustful way. They would only be one another's, and that was it.
"Morning Bright Eyes. Feeling alright?" Cobra muttered out, and she tilted her head back so she could meet his gaze.
"Little stiff, but that's to be expected. Morning by the way." She whispered, stretching her neck slightly to press her lips slowly against his. Loving the hum that came from the back of his throat, still smiling as he pulled back.
"I think a good long, hot soak in the tub will help with that. I could even join you if you so wished." He muttered, and just like that it was almost like a spark was ignited with her. Biting her bottom lip, she shifted and gave a nod. A long, hot bath did sound lovely, but a long, hot bath with Cobra. That was something she knew she was going to love.
The smile that he gave her was enough to make her press her thighs together, but then blinked as a dinging sound suddenly sounded behind her. Blinking, she looked over her shoulder to see her communication lacrima going off, and rolled over to get it. Hissing lightly as the action pulled at her stiff muscles. And allowed Cobra to reach over her to grab the annoying device instead.
"What?" He growled out, clearly not happy at being interrupted when he had planned a little more together time. However, Lucy sat up when Mira appeared, angry tears in her eyes, and her face flushed with her rage.
"Cobra. Lucy. Get to the guild now. Those damn council members are wanting to take Jase and Talli back to jail to try and make them get the other two to talk." She growled out, and Lucy blinked before throwing the cover off of her. Barely taking notice that Cobra was following right behind her.
She had already made a deal with the council, and Makarov had agreed to it. The kids would be Fairy Tail's responsibility now, so long as it meant they got to stay away from Fang and Azelea. Why the hell was the council wanting to take them? Not to mention, how? The kids had practically latched onto Midnight and Mira upon meeting them, and vice versa. Midnight had been coddling them ever since meeting them, and both of them had brought out the mothering nature within Mira. No way was the council going to take the kids without those two raising a fuss.
"I think that's why they want us there. We have to figure something out before those two snap." Cobra muttered, appearing beside her fully dressed, just as she finished slipping on her boots. Giving a nod, she took a hold of the hand he held out to her, and quickly followed him out of the apartment. She didn't think this was going to be good, and just hoped that they could figure something out.
