AN: I own nothing. Hiro Mashima-sensei owns Fairy Tail. :(

also, sorry this chapter took so long to get out and fully edited. Life has been happening. I'm working on the next chapter now.

Enjoy and happy reading!

Her breath shaky, Levy's throat worked to swallow around the lump forming in her throat. It's alright. He loves you. Levy pushed herself up, sitting on his lower abdomen. Her hands shook. Will his piercings hurt? Can he take them out? Levy's mind was a blur of fear, but also anticipation. "Gajeel?" His cerise eyes held hers. There was no malice, only love and understanding. "Yeah?" His whiskey roughened voice warmed her core, sending shivers down her spine. "Umm..." Her face flushed. This is so embarrassing! I shouldn't be afraid of his penis! It's not like its going to jump up and bite me! "What is it baby?" Clearing her throat, she twisted her fingers together. "Well...Umm...will...will your piercings...hurt?"

His hands were instantly rubbing her arms. "Levy. Look at me." Her eyes glanced at him from beneath thick lashes. "If anything hurts, you need to tell me. Do you understand?" She nodded sheepishly. "I'm serious. If it hurts, tell me, we'll stop. Or try something different." Again Levy nodded. "Hey Gajeel?" His vermilion orbs held hers questioningly. "Umm...I'm...I'm not...I don't..." She huffed in frustration. Why is it so hard to say?! Just tell him! "I'm...notonthepill."

His brows crinkled for a moment before he figured out what she had said. His rolling laugh was unexpected, even to himself. "Oh!" He steadied her with his hands on her hips. "Yeah. I didn't figure you were." The smiled faded from his lips at the look on her face. "Baby, I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at the situation." He watched as her arms crossed under her perfect breasts. Good going...dumb-ass!

Gajeel bit his tongue to keep from laughing at just how cute she was when she was angry. "I'm an idiot and I'm sorry." Her eyes narrowed at him. "Really. I promise I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at how nervous you..." He stopped himself. NOT HELPING! He sighed. "I'm not going to dig myself out of this one, am I?" Her head shook once. He sighed again. Holding his hands around an invisible knife, he committed seppuku, and gave a dramatic fake death. He watched her giggle from one barely cracked eye.

Levy slapped his chest. "Seriously though. I'm not on the pill, and I don't think getting pregnant right now is a good idea." His hands came to rest on her thighs and his carmine eyes gazed deeply into hers. "Why not?" The question seemed so simple, but the answer felt so complicated. We're not married. She averted her eyes from his, her breathing once again shaky as tears formed in her eyes. "Because..."

A finger under her chin gently lifted her face. Their eyes collided and the tears and words rushed from her. "We're not married. I don't even know if you want to get married. We haven't talked about this at all. Do you want kids? Aside from Wendy, that is. What if it's ectopic? You don't even-" A warm finger pressed to her lips, halting her word vomit.

He held her gaze, eyes never wavering. "Marry me." He didn't ask. There was no question. Placing a finger to his own lips, he silently asked her to wait before answering. Lifting her as he sat up, Gajeel placed her next to him on the bed before standing and walking out the bedroom door. Quickening his pace, he grabbed his backpack and dug in the front pocket. Finding the velvet box, he made his way quickly back to the bedroom, and Levy.

He found her, knees to her chest, arms around her knees, curled up in the corner of the bed. Palming the box, he knelt on the floor at the edge of the bed. "Levy. Come here." His hands shook as they were wrapped around the soft box, prayer style. He watched as she cautiously scooted towards the edge of the bed, knees still to chest, held by arms. In one smooth motion, he opened the box and pulled from it his mother's engagement ring.

Fresh tears sprang to her eyes. Between his fingers, he held the most beautiful engagement ring Levy had ever laid eyes on. The largest stone nestled in the center. The circle cut white diamond was surrounded by emerald. The outer most ring was done in white diamonds of varying sizes. The filigree band was studded with more diamonds of varying sizes in a bow motif. It was the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. She felt hot tears burning down her cheeks as her hand pressed to her mouth.

"Gajeel..." His warm hand enveloped her left wrist, pulling it towards him, and the ring. "Say yes Levy." Again, he wasn't asking. Levy nodded and spread her fingers. As he slid the warm metal on her finger, she marveled at how perfect the fit was. "How did you know my size?" Her brows crinkled at the thought. Looking from her finger to his face, he was shaking his head. "I didn't." She questioned him without words. The slight tilt of her head, the pinch of her brow.

"I don't know how, but it's always fit every woman that's worn it without needing to be re-sized." He held both her hands now. "My mother, my grandmother, my great grandmother. Every one of them. It fit perfectly. My great grandmother was a 6, my grandmother was an 8, and my mother was a 7." He shrugged at her with a small shake of his head. "I don't know, Levy. But, it's always fit Redfox women."

Crawling on the bed again, Gajeel pulled Levy to his side. LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE! His brain was a riot. She had said yes. The magic of the family ring had held. It was a perfect fit. It's meant to be. He truly believed in the family magic. Had Wendy found someone before he had, he had fully intended to give the ring to her. When he found Levy, he knew he was going to ask her. He had spoken to Wendy about giving the ring to Levy. Wendy had asked him what had taken so long! Little brat!

Gajeel was pulled from his thoughts as Levy, My fiancée!, once more straddled his hips, her hands running up and down his chest. Placing his hands over hers to stop her movement, he waited for her to look at him. "We don't have to. I don't expect sex because I asked you to marry me." Her smile melted his heart, and his resolve. "I know. I want to try. For me."

He smiled softly at her. Holding her face in his hands, he kissed her tenderly. "What about babies? I don't have any condoms, and as you said before, you're not on the pill." He watched her shrug a delicate shoulder. "We'll figure it out." Smiling brightly, he smashed his mouth against hers. He felt her small hands tunnel into his thick hair. Pulling his knees up behind her, Gajeel pushed her back against his thighs as he kissed his way down her neck, nibbling the tender flesh as he went.

Levy's head fell back as he kissed, licked and laved his way to her nipple. Her fingers burrowed deeper into his hair, pulling him closer. As his chapped lips enveloped the pert bud, Levy moaned deeply. The damp heat was driving her crazy. As his calloused fingers smoothed over her silky skin, her pulse raced.

His fingers pinched her nipple as his teeth clamped around the one already in his mouth. Her thighs squeezed his hips as her hips undulated against his half flaccid cock. His moan vibrated from her sensitive nipple straight to her aching core. Her heavy lids fell closed as his fingers drew firm circles down her sides to clamp against her hips.

Her frustrated moan filled the room. Why is he holding me still?! I need to move! I need... Her thought was lost when he shimmied down the bed to lay flat, releasing her nipple. Their centers brushed ever so slightly as he adjusted, causing them both to moan deeply. Placing her hands on his chest, Levy looked into his eyes.

She was the most beautiful woman he'd ever laid eyes on. Her tawny orbs shone with mirth and her alabaster skin glimmered in the fading daylight. "Gods, you're beautiful." SHE SAID YES! Trailing his fingers over her hips, he reached for the clasps holding up her thigh-highs. Her head tilted as her brow pinched, her eyes asking the question her mouth couldn't form. "Your underwear are trapped beneath the straps on your garter belt. Your underwear needs to come off if you want to try." He gave her a minute before he spoke again. "Do you still want to try?"

At her nod, he gently undid the four clasps. "Raise up on your knees baby." When she did, he gently grasped the lace and slowly eased the fabric down her thighs, giving her time to change her mind. When he had them as low as he could, he told her to sit back down and put her feet on his chest. She's so adorable when she's confused! "I have to pull them off your legs, unless you want me to rip them off?" She giggled as he waggled his eyebrows. "Do you want me to guide you?" Her deep blush and shy admission of having researched pulled a soft rolling laugh from his duodenum.

This is it. "Gajeel?" His cerise eyes implored her to continue while he drew gentle circles on her thighs with his inured fingertips. Taking a deep breath to shore up her courage, the words tumbled from her mouth before her apprehension could take over. "Do your piercings come out?" She screwed her eyes shut for fear of his reaction.

His fingers stilled on her pyretic skin. Her petite hands clenched into fists against his stomach and her head turned away slightly. "Baby." She refused to look at him. He must hate me! I've ruined EVERYTHING! "Levy. Look at me." When she didn't, she felt his hand leave her thigh. Moments later, his warm digits gently seized her chin, turning her face to his own.

"Levy, look at me." Cracking an eye, Levy gazed at him from behind the shield of her lashes. "I can take them out. If you want me to take them out, I will." After several long moments, he spoke again, his voice barely a whisper while his eyes shone with nothing but love and understanding. "You're afraid they'll hurt. It's ok." Tears pooled in her eyes as her shame and fear overwhelmed her. I've ruined everything! I'm a ruiner!

Sliding his hand around the back of her head, he pulled her against his chest as his other hand skimmed up her back to hold her tightly. "It's ok." He gently pet her hair as he held her firmly. Her crying mumbles caused his brow to pinch. "Hmm?" What the fuck is she saying?! How do I fix this?! His brain descended into chaos as he held her and tried to calm her down.

"I've ruined everything!" Her quiet wail pulled him from his tumultuous thoughts. His hand stilled in her hair. "Levy..." Her only response was to burrow further into his chest, her pint-sized fists clenched against his chest as her knuckles turned white. "Levy, baby...look at me." His husky voice brooked no argument. Levy peeked at him apprehensively from behind her dark lashes. His tender smile greeted her, stilling her breath.

"You haven't ruined anything. I can take them out and put them back in as I please." He smiled at her soft blush as his hands continued their perusal of her hair and skin. "It's ok to be afraid of them. Penises are intimidating the first few times, especially if they look like mine. It's ok." His hands ran down her back, over her ass and to his indurated cock. Levy lifted her head as he began taking his piercings out, starting with the Prince Alberts. Stupid man! You should have known she would be afraid. She's a virgin for fucks sake! Stupidstupidstupidstupidst-

A soft hand brought him from his self deprecation. His eyes snapped to hers, glistening with fresh tears. His brow furrowed and his hands stilled. "Levy...?" Her voice was almost inaudible and it cracked as she whispered. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you mad. You don't have to take them out. I can-" he mashed his lips against hers, effectively silencing her. His hand in her hair held her still as his tongue shoved at the seam of her lips, demanding entrance.

She gasped at his aggressiveness and his tongue drove past her lips to plunder the moist cavern of her mouth. His heaving breaths gave way to a deep moan as her own tongue gently grazed his. His sinewy arm clamped around her waist while the hand still buried in her hair tilted her head to allow him better access. Swinging his feet to the floor, Gajeel stood. Levy wrapped her arms around his massive shoulders as her legs locked around his svelte hips. Her mewling cries never reached the room, because Gajeel swallowed every one as he walked Levy-didn't-know where.

His arm dropped to under her ass just before her back slammed into the closed bedroom door. Levy broke the kiss as she moaned loudly at the sudden contact. Gajeel didn't give her time to catch her breath or corral her scattered thoughts as his lips crashed against hers again, his tongue forcing its way past her lips and teeth. His Herculean chest pinned her to the door while his hands dropped to the smooth globes of her derrière.

His work roughened hands kneaded the silken flesh of her rotund ass. The incessant rhythm emboldened Levy to follow his lead with her hips. Her glistening nether lips scudded across his rigid cock. The rim of his cock brushed against her sensitive anus, causing her to gasp. Levy instantly froze. Gajeel laid his brow against hers as they both gasped for breath. "Are you..ok? Do we...need to stop?"

He really didn't want to stop. Honestly, he had no clue why she had suddenly tensed beneath him. His still hands begged to squeeze her perfectly fat ass. Don't move. Just...whatever you do old man...don't...move. He was afraid to move. He was certain that if he pushed it, she would bolt. Be still old man. Just...wait... After a few, tortuously long moments, Levy looked up at him. "Your...my..." Her blush was adorable, but the fear in her eyes stayed his smirk.

His lips gently brushed against her bruised ones. He poured all his love into that small touch. I'll never hurt you, baby. Ever. His promise echoed through his head. "I love you. If you want to stop, we can. (Please no!) but you have to tell me what's wrong. I can't fix it until I know what needs fixing." Again he grazed his lips across hers as his ragged breathing evened out.

Her ochre orbs, still filled with fear, gazed at him hesitantly. "Do you...umm..." Don't be a coward McGarden! "...well...do you want...to...umm...haveanalsex?" Her fingers twisted nervously behind Gajeels' neck. His brows knit together as his shoulders tensed. "No...wh-" his cock twitched at the thought, and he watched a fresh wave of fear Surge through her. His brows pinched closer as the thought. "Levy, baby. What's wrong? Why would you ask me if I wanted to have anal sex? I'm confused." He watched her fear recede a modicum right before she spoke.

"Well...your...umm..." As his flared head brushed against her ring of muscle, she let out a small, high pitched sound. "EEP!" She quickly climbed his body to escape his throbbing cock. Her escape attempt was mostly in vain because his heavy chest was still pinning her to the door, restricting most of her movement. His vision finally cleared and he pulled away from her slightly as his hands on her ass lifted her away from his eager dick. He felt her body relax as she was suddenly able to elude his seeking member.

He kissed her temple before he spoke. "No. I don't want to have anal sex. If you want to try it, we can. But I don't particularly want to sodomize you." At her quiet giggle, the corner of his mouth gently pulled up. "What?" Her eyes sparkled with mischief, but she refused to speak. Clasping her hand over her mouth, she giggled and shook her head. He cocked an eyebrow at her, his own eyes reflecting her mirth. "Oh?!" His chest pressed more firmly against her while his hands trailed up her sides, stopping just below her ribs. Her eyes widened briefly before she giggled and shook her head again. "Gihehe"

Her hand never left her mouth as his fingers danced over her sides. Her peals of laughter echoing around the room as she tried to fight him off with one hand, her other clamped firmly over her mouth. After several minutes of swatting, squirming, squealing and Gihi'ing, Levy cried "UNCLE!" Gajeels hands instantly stilling. "You gonna tell me wha was so funny?" His eyebrow rose again. "Sodomy means anal or oral copulation." Her words were muffled behind her hand. "Huh! I should start calling you Merriam!" Her hand fell away from her mouth with a gasp. "You wouldn't dare!"

"Wouldn't I?!" His raised eyebrow dared her to deny his resolve. When she didn't, he smirked. "Gihe! I knew you were smart, Shrimp." He didn't even flinch when Levy smacked his shoulder. "But that second thing...yeah, I wouldn't mind if you did that to me." His eyes sparkled with excitement at the idea as Levys face flushed a deep scarlet. "But that's for another time. Right now, I think this...chat...is interrupting something."

Levy didn't have time to contemplate his meaning as his mouth descended upon hers with fervor. She was quickly swept away by his lust. Her hands pulled him closer as her nails dug for purchase into the backs of his shoulders. Her legs around his waist tugged his hips closer as her own rolled against his, rubbing their centers together. Levy whimpered against his tongue as his flared head brushed her clit. As his hands left her firm ass, his chest pressed her more firmly into into the door.

His hands were moving between their bodies. Levy broke the kiss to watch as his fingers deftly removed the ball from the top of his vertical piercing. Her eyes widened as the metal slid placidly from his flesh. He repeated the process with the horizontal bar at his head. He held both bars; balls reattached; in his hand as he looked around for somewhere to put them.

Levy unlocked her legs and slid down his body until her feet touched the floor. Taking the bars from his hand, levy walked into the bathroom. Pulling the peroxide from under the sink, she dropped the barbells into a plastic cup and covered them in peroxide. Walking back to Gajeel, she knelt in front of him, her brow pinching as she inspected the holes where the bars had been. "Will they stay like this forever?" Her curious gaze met his heated one.

Gajeel just shook his head before swallowing thickly. "The surface skin will grow over the holes after a few days, maybe a week. After that, the paths through will, maybe, close up after a while." Levy nodded, making a mental note to do some research on the subject later. Rising to her feet, Levy stood before him, her eyes drinking him in from the tips of his toes to the wild mane of unnameable vibrissa atop his head. His powerful legs and trim stomach perfectly framed his impressive length. The plateaus of his pecs faded perfectly into his hulking shoulders, which gave way to his sinewy arms and his colossal hands. A shiver ran up her spine as the memory of where his hands had been flashed through her mind.

As her eyes wandered his body, drinking him in, Gajeel tried not to move. When her gaze fell on his straining cock, it twitched as he licked his lips. He watched as her wicked tongue slipped past her lips to moisten the bottom one before pulling it into her mouth to worry it between her perfect teeth. He could feel the path her eyes took like ice sliding over his fevered skin. His abs flexed before the ice slid over his pecs and shoulders, causing them to strain beneath her gaze. Goosebumps rose along his arms as her meticulous inspection trailed to his hands. That noise. Oh god. Don't...fucking...move. But his body didn't listen.

Her mouth had fallen open after gazing at his hand for a moment. The sound she had made; somewhere between a moan and a whimper; had almost been his undoing. His dick hurt so bad, it was straining so hard to reach Levy. It wanted do be buried between her legs, in and out. Over and over. Soft and warm. Gajeel shook his head. Raising his hand, the one that had been inside her earlier, to his mouth. Her eyes followed the motion and her waited until her eyes locked with his ardent gaze. His fingers slipped into his mouth while she watched. Her taste flooded his mouth once more. Peaches and cream. The deep moan that left his throat pulled a smaller, needier moan from hers.

Levy watched as his fingers slid from his mouth, his lips wrapped around them as he sucked every last drop of her juices from them. She rubbed her thighs together in an attempt to alleviate some of the pressure building within her belly. Oh god...why is that so...hot? Another soft moan fell past her swollen lips as her thighs rubbed together importunately. Her fingers tangled in the garter belt at her waist as she watched him. His massive digits slid down his lip and over his chin. They drifted over the column of his throat, over his pecs and beyond his abs. The muscles in his arm bulged as his hand fisted around his salient cock. "Come here."

His voice was naught but a growl, and her aching body responded before her brain could process what he had said. She stopped inches away from his skin. "Fucking beautiful." His words were a moan as his hand began stroking his swollen length. "Do you want this, Levy?" Her hot tongue darted out to lick her bottom lip before pulling it between her teeth. She nodded, not trusting her voice. He took a step closer to her, towering over her. "I didn't hear you. I'll ask again. Do. You. Want. This?" He crowded her, forcing her to step back with each word. When her back hit the door again, Levy gasped. Her hands pressed flat against the old wood as her breath rushed from her lungs. "Yes!" The corner of his mouth quirked. "Good."

Gajeel grabbed her wrist with his free hand. Pulling it up to his mouth, he gently sucked her fingers, coating each one in saliva before moving to the next. His tongue danced over her palm before he lowered her hand to his rigid dick, removing his own. Her slender fingers danced over his blazing skin, igniting every nerve ending from base to inflamed tip. Her eyes sparkled in the fading light as her tongue emerged from the hot cavern of her tight mouth to moisten her bottom lip. His heavy cock twitched at the action, pressing tightly against her fingers for a moment.

Groaning, he released her wrist. Levy looked deep into his eyes as she gave an expieremental squeeze. He missed the look of wonder on her face as his eyes rolled back in his head with another long bawl. His palms lay flat against the door as he braced himself up. Don't touch her. Just...don't touch her. He knew that if he touched her soft skin, he would be sorely tempted to ravish her. If he was going to violate her, he wanted her to be willing. Because what he wanted to do to her, so many things, would push too far too quickly. Keep in control, old man. Close your eyes. Just...let her to- HOLY FUCK!

His eyes snapped open as his head flung forward. Gazing down at her, he watched as the tip of her irriguous tongue delicately tasted the pearl of pre-cum at his purpled head. Her hot breath wafted over his fiery skin. Fisting his hands against the door, his pleading groan was muffled by the bicep between his teeth. Hold still. Don't...move... Let her explore. Don- oh god...! The flat of her tongue swept across his swollen head, ripping another whining moan from his throat as his knees threatened to buckle.

"Levy..." His needful moan urged her forward. The taste is...hmm...I don't know how to describe it. Levy licked the head of his heavy cock again, swirling the bead of moisture over her tongue and around her mouth. Maybe...spicy? Like...cinnamon and nutmeg...or...umm...gingerbread kind of spicy? But salty too. That's...hmm!? Her mind whirled as she continued to lap the beads of moisture from his head as they formed. So lost in thought was she, that the gentle touch on her shoulder surprised her. Looking up, glowing crimson eyes bore into her own tawny orbs. "Baby, if you keep doing just that, I'm going to stop you. It's too intense after a while. Like if I were to just lick your clit. You'd push me away. Not because you don't want to cum, but because it's too much sensation."

Levy nodded, her cheeks flushing deeply. A knuckle under her chin brought her eyes to his smiling face. "Don't be upset with yourself. You can still explore, just, change it up now and again. I'll keep to the rules we agreed to earlier, k?" He smiled softly at her nod and brushed his knuckles against her cheek before placing his palm against the door once more.

AN:Sorry those edits took so long! Things got out of hand over the weekend. But, everything should be fixed. If I missed something, please do let me know. Or if you notice an edit that needs to be made. I hate spelling/grammatical errors just as much as you guys do.

Hope you enjoyed!
