(There are some spoilers to the end of 'Who is my Master?' in this chapter)
Maiden lifted a bunch of clean plates out of the dishwasher, ready to be put away in the cupboards. She grunted a bit, the stack reaching up to her elbows, her back arching as she pushed through the back kitchen door that lead to the bar. Mira was washing more dishes in the back kitchen, those were about to be switched into the dishwasher. The guild was its usually rowdy atmosphere; loud laughter, slams of mugs hitting table tops, dramatized story telling of missions. The clean stack of plates were pushed into the bar counter, the cabinets just above her head.
"Hey maiden honey you mind filling me back up?" Wakaba asked holding up his mug.
"Sure" Maiden said with a smile.
She took his mug and turned to a valve attached to a stem leading into the counter. Her hand pulled the switch down and lightly amber tinted liquid came spouting out of the valve. White foam collected at the top, and when it was almost spilling over the brim, Maiden let go of the switch. From her hands it went to back to Wakaba's. Then she was back to putting clean plates away. This is how most of her time went, helping Mira as a bar maiden. Maiden never went on missions, but she did spar sometimes with Erza to help her train. Laxus was out somewhere in the world. He was still exiled from the guild, even after bringing down Raphael, so he was off on his own missions. But he sent letters to Maiden telling of the things he's done and the places he's been, he was also welcome back to visit Maiden and the guild when he wanted. But it's been about three months since his last visit, and his last letter was almost two weeks ago.
Maiden put the last clean plate away and went into the back kitchen to get more. The door slide close just as boots came clicking through the guild door. The usual loud laughing and chatter simmered down slowly, playful fights stopping mid headlock, banging of mugs softening. Eyes were turned towards the opening of the guild, and not towards the back kitchen door. Light brown eyes were pointed to the sparkling clean plates held in her frail arms, hoping they wouldn't tip over. Maiden's concentration was on getting the plates onto the counter, until the pin drop silence caught her attention. Eyes drifted up from the plates, now on the counter, to the reason why the guild was so quiet. A gasp was choked off by her throat closing in, hands coming up to cover her mouth. Tears started to brim her eyes, vision becoming blurred.
"L-l-lax," Maiden was interrupted.
"Laxus!" A loud childish voice broke the silence.
Natsu came jumping of nowhere, a giant grin on his face. One of his fists was enveloped with flames, aimed right towards the large blonde. But before he got within ten feet of the newly arrived wizard, a hand gripped his ankle and yanked him down. Natsu grumbled feeling the weight of Erza sink down on his back. Attention went back to Laxus who just playfully smirked, but then orange eyes came back to meet light brown. Maiden bite her lip underneath her hands, was Laxus really back? He smiled softly, long arms appeared from underneath his coat, spreading wider than his chest.
"Come here" he said softly.
That was it, Maiden went running towards him. It didn't matter to her that the whole guild watched as she nearly tripped over her own feet. It didn't even matter that the whole guild was watching. Laxus was back. After three months, he was back. Maiden threw her arms around him, her head resting rightfully on his chest, digging her face into the fabric of his t-shirt. His strong arms wrapped around her, his chin placed itself on top of her head, shoulders leaning foreword so he was bending down a bit. Laxus could feel her small shoulders quiver in his hug, fabric of his t-shirt becoming wet in two small spots, her tiny hands gripping his back tightly.
"I'm back" he whispered, feeling her relax just a bit in his arms.
She didn't say anything, more that she couldn't say anything that he could tell by the way her shoulders shook. He pulled back just a bit to bend down so they were both face to face. Laxus had a soft smile as he could see he was right. Tears were falling from her eyes, her throat flexed to hold back sobs, cheeks flushed red. Quickly Maiden used her arms to wipe away at her face. She didn't think he would come back.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to cry" her voice broke around sobs, still wiping at her face.
His big hand came up and combed itself through her hair, moving hair from her face. His other hand did the same thing before both hands settled on her lower cheeks, cupping her face. Her hands came up to cover his, teary brown eyes staring up at him.
"I'm back" Laxus repeated, orange eyes staring into brown.
"I missed you" Maiden sniffled, a smile spreading across her face.
Laxus gave a half smile before leaning in to press an innocent kiss on her forehead. Maiden closed her eyes, the heat of his palms against her face, his rough lips against her forehead reassuring her that he was there. He pulled away, before pressing his forehead to hers.
"I missed you too" he whispered with a sigh.
"Ayyyy Laxus your back buddy" a drunk Macao had to ruin the moment, slapping the back of the tall blonde.
The guild had decided it'd be fun to dog pile Laxus. They congratulated him on completing the missions he did while away, slapped him on the back as a welcoming, gathered around to hear his stories, got him mugs of beer. Everyone was crowded tightly around Laxus, but that didn't stop Maiden from staying by his side. His arm was around her waist the whole time, holding her close to his side. The evening began to turn into night, the sky turning dark with each question and story. It seemed like no time has passed with all the commotion was that was going on before Mira was locking up the guild. Laxus had his own apartment still in town, so Maiden thought it's be good to help Laxus home seeing how much beer he had consumed.
"Are you okay Laxus?" Maiden asked seeing the rosy tint in his cheeks.
"Mmmm you're so fucking soft" he hummed, his cheek on her shoulder.
"UHHH Laxus, not here" Maiden blushed feeling his arms bring her into a back hug.
"I don't care, I want to cuddle the fuck out of you" one of his big hands rubbed the belly of her dress.
"Laxus, stop please" Maiden squirmed a bit in his arms.
"Laxus, oh my god is that you?" A shrill voice said.
Laxus stopped mid way through kissing Maiden's cheek to see who it was. Standing there were two girls in clothes that, despite the cold weather, showed a lot of skin. One girl had long bright red hair reaching to her hips with wide green eyes framed by think black lashes. Her see through white butterfly button up showed a light blue spaghetti strap tang top, paired with a short Jean miniskirt. The other girl had chin length curly brown hair and bright blue eyes. A black and pink bandeau top was matched with high waisted dark wash shorts. They both were very curvaceous with hourglass like figures and full breasts. Maiden shrank back a bit, their confidence intimidating her.
"That is you Laxus, it's been so long" the brunette winked with pursed lips.
"Yes it has, little over a year" Laxus nodded, rubbing his face tiredly.
"Should I tell Lady Jasmine that you'll be stopping by later?" The redhead batted her thick eyelashes.
"Sorry girls, but no" he shook his head, straightening his posture.
"Tomorrow then?" The redhead had a look of confusion.
"No, not even tomorrow. Sorry girls but I won't be going to Lady Jasmine's ever again" Laxus's arm was tight around Maiden's waist.
"Wait, what? Laxus why?" The brunette was astonished.
"Come on, let's go home, I'm tired" he said looking down at Maiden, ignoring the girls.
Maiden quickly nodded, walking along his side with his arm still around her. They passed the two promiscuous girls, back on track to Laxus's apartments. The rest of the walk was quiet, except for maybe Laxus letting out a sigh or a drunken hum from time to time. He stumbled a bit, but Maiden was there to make sure he didn't fall. The walk was a bit far, farther than Maiden had remembered, because by the time they made it to the front door Laxus has sobered up quiet a bit. Maiden could tell because he slipped his arm from around her waist.
Laxus never liked PDA in places other than the guild. But even there it was only an arm around the waist or a kiss on the cheek or forehead. Laxus only kissed Maiden on the lips when it was just the two of them because he always blushed after and didn't want anyone to see him blush. It was obvious Laxus wasn't a very affectionate person, but yet those girls, Maiden cringed, they had seen and felt more of Laxus than she had. It was childish, but she was jealous. They knew things about Laxus, that she didn't, and Laxus made them feels ways that she hadn't experienced yet. Maiden knew at least for them being prostitutes that it was at least enjoyable and they could leave whenever they wanted. Maiden always got the complete opposite, sex had been painfully and tortuous. But. But, Cana had told Maiden details, details that always made her blush, that sex felt good and was enjoyable. She wanted to know what it's supposed to feel like.
While Maiden got some water, Laxus took that time to grab some clothes and change in his bathroom. Maiden sat on the edge of his ginormous bed, shoes already taken off. She had spend the night at Laxus's apartment a couple times before; she slept on his bed while he took the couch. Each time, they never slept together, always separate. Maiden put her empty glass on the nightstand and laid on her side, the hem of her sundress slipping up a bit. The door to Laxus's bathroom opened to reveal Laxus in a white t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up and navy sweatpants. He strolled over to the edge of the bed where Maiden laid. His eyes never even wavered to the length of her dress. Laxus leaned over her, hands pressed into the bed on either side of her.
"Good night, I'll see you in the morning" he half smiled at her.
Maiden leaned up, cupping the back of his neck as their lips connected. They stayed for a few seconds, and, like always, when they parted Laxus had a blush across the apples of his cheeks. This made Maiden giggle, the barrier to Laxus's tough guy facade broken by just one kiss.
"Don't laugh at me" he grumbled embarrassed.
"I'm not" Maiden giggled with a smile.
Laxus grumbled under his breath, this is when Maiden decided to be brave. She leaned up into him more, lips brushing against the bare neck of his skin. As she did, the muscles in his neck went stiff, his Adam's apple bobbed deeply. Maiden pulled back to look up at Laxus's shocked face. His eyes were wide looking down at her, jaw clenched. Then she did it again, this time lower. And again, getting closer to the collar of his shirt each time. Laxus shuddered with his eyes closing, fists clenching the bedding next to Maiden. Just then, Maiden placed an open mouth kiss right on a thick vein in his neck. Laxus bite his lip, his blood rushing against her tongue on his heated neck. He growled grabbing her hands and ripping them from around his neck and pressed them into the bed.
"Laxus?" She whispered, wide brown eyes confused.
"What's wrong? What's gotten into you tonight?" He was panting.
She was quiet.
"Maiden? What's wrong?" Laxus's eyebrows were knotted together from his own confusion.
"Sleep with me" she whispered eyes dead set on his own.
He sighed relieved.
"If that's all you wanted, that's all you had to say geez get me all worked up, I'll get my blanket from the living room" he ran a hand through his hair.
"No," this caught Laxus's attention, "I mean sleep with me like," Laxus caught her off.
"Sex?" The word ghosted from his lips.
Maiden nodded, biting her lip. Orange eyes widened, looking her over. Plump bottom lip pressed between teeth, brown hair messily flared around her head, his hands trapping her small wrists against the bed, dress lifted to her mid thigh. Laxus almost said yes right then and there. He shook his head, no he was not going to just take Maiden like some common whore. Given the years with Raphael as his and Death Joker's sex slave, Maiden grew scared of people. But then also the months he put her through torment didn't help her fear of being raped. He still felt guilty for what he did at the hotel. Of course Laxus wanted to have sex with Maiden, he was a man with needs. But he didn't want to do something and have Maiden convert back into her shell where she's afraid of everyone, afraid of him again. He was scared to hurt her again. Maiden wasn't just some prostitute or whore, she wasn't a sex slave anymore, Maiden is his girlfriend. He looked off to the side.
"You don't know what you're asking" his jaw clenched.
"Yes I do" Laxus inhaled sharply at her response.
"Why? Why are you asking for this? Was it those girls, because they're nothing compared to you" Laxus didn't know if he could hold back anymore, he wanted the subject dropped.
"Because," Laxus listened closely, "my whole life I've had to give my body for other people's pleasure and only get pain in return, but now I want to feel the pleasure that others have felt," she placed a hand on his cheek to make him look at her, "and I want to feel it with you Laxus."
He was stone faced, he still didn't know what he should do. The option to get up and say good night again was starting to close itself off the longer he hovered over her. His mind was made up when Maiden licked her bottom lip out of a nervous habit. His lips went crashing down to hers, arms wrapping around her waist to hold her up. Maiden gasped at the ferocity in his kiss, her hands clinging into his strong back. Laxus was barely able to bring himself away from her lips.
"I won't be able to stop" he was breathless.
"Dont" Maiden shook her head panting.
Lips went crashing together again, tongues meeting in the middle to explore and taste each other. Hands roamed over clothed bodies, impatient to feel the skin underneath. Fire was building in Maiden's body, each trailing hand of Laxus igniting it even more. His lips slipped from hers, going lower onto her neck leaving nips and licks here and there on her sensitive lightly tanned skin. Maiden shivered letting out breathless pants and gasps before he pulled away. Maiden peered down to see Laxus's head moving down her torso towards her thighs. Rough calloused hands ghosted down her strong thighs to her knees in a butterfly like touch. Slowly did Laxus spread her legs before him, both of their breathing hitched. Laxus groaned deeply seeing that small piece of light blue clothing that separated his mouth from one of her most intimate parts. Maiden let out a soft moan seeing Laxus's head dip down to place a chaste kiss on her inner thigh. Her head fell back onto the pillow as Laxus's lips moved closer and closer to her core, but he switched to her other thigh. All along her inner thigh did he place open mouth kisses, his fang nipping at the soft skin. Maiden arched her back, a whimper escaping her lips.
Laxus was now face to face with Maiden's core, his hot breath blowing heavy against the fabric. With his heightened dragon senses he could hear her hot blood rushing through her body, her heart thumping loudly against her chest. Could smell the scent of her excitement right through her panties. Could taste the lust rolling off her body. Laxus growled his hands gripping the material of her blue panties roughly and tearing it without a second thought. Maiden gasped at the sound, but then closed her eyes as Laxus's warm tongue rolled over her folds. His eyes rolled to the back of his head at her taste; it was so sweet. Maiden let out a high pitched moan, her fingers tangling in Laxus's blonde locks. His whole mouth covered her sex, tongue rolling and lapping against her core. The tip of his tongue probed her entrance, circling around. Maiden involuntary bucked her hips upwards as he did, a loud moan falling from her lips, fingers pulling his hair. Laxus pulled back to look up at her.
"I'm sorry" Maiden gasped thinking she had pulled his hair too hard.
"No it's okay, but are you okay?" He already knew the answer, but wanted to hear the answer from her.
Instead she nodded, her chest rising and falling drastically,
"Do you like this?" He was cheeky as he licked her from bottom to top in one hard lick.
Maiden moaned deeply, her body shuddering.
"Or how about this?" He traced her entrance with a finger tip, this earning an even louder moan.
Maiden still had a tight grip on his hair, each sensation causing her to pull his blonde locks. Each tug made Laxus want to slam into her until she forgot how to breath. Her eyes were closed, but he saw the build up of tears along her lashes. He kept tracing her entrance with his long thick finger.
"You have to tell me, yes or no" he wanted to taste her again, but held back.
"Yes yes yes yes yes, please it feels so good" Maiden's voice found her, moans falling with each word.
That was the cue Laxus had been waiting for, his finger curving into her, teeth nibbling on her clit. Maiden exploded in moans and gasps, voice lost again. Laxus groaned, her silky walls gripping his finger tightly. He paced his pumping to be paired with a lick every time he pumped in. Hips rolled against his fingers and tongue, her walls contracting and loosening around his single finger. The room was filled with Maiden's moaning.
A pit of warmth filled her whole body, her toes curling. A knot was tightening in her lower stomach. Edge of Maiden's vision was starting to dot and turn white. Ever nerve in her body was stinging with pleasure. The warmth filling her belly started to travel south.
"Laxus, I feel like I have to pee, stop stop" Maiden whimpered, this feeling was foreign to her.
Laxus didn't hear anything she said. He was too focused on getting Maiden to cum, he could tell she was close. Maiden tried to plea for Laxus to stop as her walls began to tighten even faster, but her moans and gasps were getting in the way. The back of her hand came to her mouth, teeth sinking into the thin skin. It did nothing to block the deep mewls Maiden was releasing. She looked down through teary vision to see sight of Laxus. It was erotic to see Laxus down between her legs, his eyes closed as his skilled tongue wrote the alphabet on her clit, finger pumping in and out of her. Then his orange eyes peered up at her. That was it, his smokey glare with his hazy orange eyes clouded with the message 'you taste good' peering up at her undid the hold she had, her hips lifted off the bed as her back arched sharply and her head was thrown back. A scream echoed the room, electricity zipping through Maiden's body, clamping her walls tightly around Laxus's finger. Her high clouded her vision, her heart thumping wildly, vision bursting into bright colors. Then, her whole body collapsed onto the bed, ragged panting causing her chest to rise and fall. Laxus stayed where he was in between her legs, and slipped his finger out. Her legs twitched a bit at that. Maiden peeked one eye open to see Laxus hold up the finger that was inside if her. Thick clear juices covered the length of it, in his mouth it went. A deep rumble vibrated through Laxus, his tongue savoring the flavor; she tasted so good.
"Are you okay?" Laxus crawled over her.
"Please Laxus, please just take me now" her voice was weak as well as her grip on the front of his shirt.
Sweat matted hair to her forehead and cheeks, her face flushed and rosy. Her small hands tugged at his shirt, she wanted it off. But he also wanted her dress off. His hands ran up under her dress, lifting it up her waist, revealing her soft belly, and to her chest. Maiden lifted the rest up and over her head to the ground while Laxus did the same for his t-shirt.
"God you're beautiful" he sighed seeing her lay in only her bra left.
An ethereal glow was radiating off her, the rosy tint in her skin, the messy halo of hair gave the image that she really was an angel. Maiden ran her hands up his arms, over his shoulders and down his chest to feel all of his sturdy muscles. This wasn't the first time she had seen him shirtless, but it always shocked her to feel how strong Laxus was. Her lips connected with his chest, hands running up and down his back. Laxus let out a deep moan, his own hands going up to her back to unhook her bra. Not even a second later, Maiden was pressed back into the bed, Laxus towering over her.
"Are you ready?" He gulped thickly, he didn't think he could stop by this point.
"Yes" Maiden nodded.
Laxus was kneeling, his hands began to tug down his sweatpants. Brown eyes stared at the large tent that was formed in Laxus's crotch. Hunger and want were evident in her eyes. Sweatpants were off and thrown to the floor. Now all that stood in the way was Laxus's boxers. He reached into the navy blue boxers while his other hand pulled them foreword. Maiden unknowingly licked her lips as Laxus lifted his member out of his boxers. The boxers were soon ditched too. Maiden's jaw dropped slightly seeing how big 'little Laxus' was, he was as big as Raphael, hanging maybe three inches above his knee. Laxus was almost embarrassed at how intensely Maiden was staring at his member. But he crawled over her again and pressed his lips to hers softly. With a free hand he lined himself up with her entrance, his other sinking into the pillow next to her. Then in he went, his tip easing into Maiden's warm tight hole. She gasped, eyes wide staring right into Laxus's, he groaned in return. Laxus was holding back on slamming his full length into her. Inch by inch, Laxus filled her up until less than two inches was not in enveloped by her hot thick walls. Her legs quaked and shook around his waist, feet barely able to touch behind his back. Maiden was in a mix of pain and pleasure, she hadn't had sex in a long time, so to take someone the size of Laxus it hurt really bad to be stretched like this all over again, but she wanted him to move. Laxus exhaled slowly to calm himself as he backed his hips up just a bit then moved forward again. Both of them threw their head back moaning. Again and again Laxus did that, his pace painfully slow. The pain subsided, now only left pleasure.
The muscles in Laxus's body were all flexed, keeping control of himself. But his vision was started to become blurry and black, his deep groans and moans starting to sound animalistic, his grip on her hips growing tight. Laxus snapped his hips sharply into hers, making Maiden moan high pitched. Her whole mind was focused solely on the electrifying pleasure Laxus was giving her. Nothing was seeming to make sense; her hands were gripping into Laxus's shoulders on their own, her hips lifting into his on their own, moans and other lewd sounds falling from her hips. Maiden had never felt like this. Her whole body felt like Laxus was using magic to send lightening zipping through her body. These noises she was making, she had never heard them before. This want to plead Laxus to thrust faster and harder into her, she didn't know where it came from. The only thing that seemed to be making sense was Laxus's name.
"Laxus" his name came as a moan.
Laxus almost stopped at the sound of her moaning his name. But no he kept going, his thrusts going deeper and harder into Maiden's hips unknowingly, whole body quivered at her moaning and screaming his name. Maiden's body came to life with the power of each thrust he sent into her hips, her head snapping this way and that, back arching and hips rolling, hands searching for stability. Each thrust send the bed rocking against the wall. Laxus was trying to stay calm, he really was, but the control he was having on his dragon instincts were coming loose. Each blink had black creeping over his vision, his arms and shoulders tingling as scales were starting to appear. He bit his bottom lip, his hips snapped harshly against Maiden's again. Tears were slipping from her eyes, pleasure filling her to the brim. Laxus's claws were starting to grown, digging into the skin of Maiden's hips, but he couldn't stop. He had lost all control.
"Don't stop please Laxus" Maiden begged.
Laxus closed his eyes and opened them again to show not orange eyes, but fully white eyes. He gritted his teeth, showing elongated fangs. One hand went up and grabbed the banging headboard, claws digging into the wood. He pulled out and slammed back in, this time all the way in so that his balls slapped against her butt. Pace quickened giving Maiden no time to comprehend as her moans turned to screams. Laxus growled, panting hot breath against her face. His other hand went up and grabbed the headboard using this leverage to pull out and slam back in with unusual force. Her whole body rocked, her end was coming soon with each ball slapping thrust that was shot into her.
"Laxus I have to I have" Maiden was barely able to make a sentence through her screaming.
Laxus, even in his dragonic state of mind, knew what his meant. His headboard snapped underneath his hands as he pulled out one last time, splinters digging into his palms. That pull out was followed by a slam back into Maiden, her whole upper body shooting off the bed to hold onto him, a scream muffled into his chest. His final moan was a loud deep roar, sounding more like a dragon than anything human. Maiden held onto him, her body spazzing with ecstasy as her finish came with a sob. Laxus huffed, knocked out of his animal state of mind. He collapsed onto his hands and knees, sweat dripping down his whole body. Maiden collapsed as well, breathing uneven and deep. They were both covered in sweat, Laxus more so than Maiden. Scales and talons disappeared, orange eyes appearing underneath the white. Laxus panted his hands giving out from underneath him, landing on top of Maiden. Maiden gave a weak noise as his head was laid on top of one of her breasts. Neither of them moved, except Laxus who wrapped his arms around Maidens small waist.
"Laxus?" Maiden weakly whispered.
"Hmmm?" He hummed tired.
"Thank you" she threaded her fingers through his hair.
"For what?" Laxus was confused, he just about broke her hips with his, and she was thanking him?
"Letting me experience this with you" that was the last thing Maiden said before exhaustion slipped her into sleep.
Laxus looked up at the sleeping girl he was using as a pillow. Long brown hair with that crimson tint cloaking the dark blue bedding underneath her, eyes the same color as the beer he drinks now closed so that her lashes lay against her cheeks, rosebud lips in a natural pout, light tanned skin blushed red now. Laxus had his chin on her lower stomach looking up at her. But as he looked his face had an unusual dreaminess to it. His face was always soft when he looked at Maiden; his eyes never narrowed into a glare, lips never pulled tightly into a thin line, jaw never clenched. But right now his eyes were shining bright, his nose wrinkled up a bit, crinkles under his eyes and cheeks as a small smile pulled at his lips. Laxus looked happy.
