Chapter 6 - To New Beginnings

Author's Notes: Hello everyone! So this is my final chapter of this fanfic. It's filled with lemony goodness so viewer discretion is advised!

As always, I do not own Fairy Tail.

R&R and enjoy :)

When they broke apart for air she had a confused look on her face, her fingers caressing where his lips had been. Although she had tearstains down her red tinted cheeks and her eyes were slightly puffy from crying, to Gajeel she was breathtakingly beautiful. He pulled her to his chest again and smiled.

"I love you too."

Levy froze in his grasp as the words began to sink in.

Wait, what?

She abruptly lifted her head from the Dragon Slayer's chest, her heart rapidly beating.

"What?" She croaked, her voice sounded alien to her own ears. Gajeel just chuckled as she stared at him with wide eyes. He used his elbows to lift them up, moving his hands to her hips and leaning in again.

"I love you." He repeated himself again and this time he said it with absolute certainty. Any form of guilt and insecurity that lingered withered away, leaving him with nothing but her. He leaned in and claimed her lips again, grinning when she let out a small contented sigh as they broke apart.

Levy's trembling fingers traced her tingling lips where his had just been, feeling a light buzz throughout her body. She continued to stare at the grinning man beneath her, her mouth gaping open like a fish.

"I-wait, what?" She asked again, still dumbfounded. She had said her confession in certainty of being rejected, but his response made her head spin and she was sure she had stopped breathing.

Gajeel rolled his eyes, "You're supposed to be the smart one here, Shrimp. Gihihi." He leaned closer to the confused bluenette, holding onto her gaze.

"I love you." He said again, kissing her softly on the nose and beaming. Levy sat there, straddling Gajeel's lap as his words finally sunk in. She searched within his red eyes for any form of insincerity, but her eyes began to tear up as she found none. Gajeel's smile slipped into a frown.

"Shrimp? Ah, d-don't cry. " Gajeel fumbled with his hands awkwardly, not knowing what he should do for the crying mage.

He was always bad at comforting people; it was probably because he usually didn't give two shits about them, but with Levy crying in his arms he wondered why he was so useless at times like these.

"Shorty what's wrong?" Gajeel hesitantly used his fingers to wipe away the tears while he kicked himself mentally as she began to cry even harder. He wasn't good at these kinds of things, dammit!

Levy noticed his futile attempt at trying to console her and laughed through her tears, giggling slightly at Gajeel.

"No, I'm just really really happy, that's all." She dried her eyes with the back of her hand and beamed up at him, her eyes regaining its usual spark. He sighed in relief and wrapped his arms around her, protectively trapping her in his arms.

"Well you're mine now, Shrimp. You can't back out anymore." He growled, pulling her in even closer. Levy regained her composure from crying and giggled quietly, flicking the Dragon Slayer in the head playfully.

"Didn't expect you to be so possessive, Gajeel." She retorted, her fingers tracing his chiseled jaw, slowly caressing his rugged face. She couldn't believe she was doing this. She had finally confessed to the man of her dreams and her feelings had been reciprocated. If she died now, she would have died happily.

Gajeel beneath her trembled as a chuckle spread throughout his body. He grabbed Levy's fingers that roamed his face and intertwined them with his and dipped his face to her neck, nibbling her silky skin with his abnormally sharp canines. He indulged in her scent - cherry-almond and ink, feeling as if he was intoxicated by it. He grinned into her skin as he heard Levy let out a contented sigh and he began to trail fiery kisses up her neck, stopping only to claim her lips again.

This time Levy responded to his kiss with equal fervor, a shiver running thorough her body like electricity as Gajeel's tongue captured hers. He kissed her with so much passion that Levy almost melted in his grasp as his tongue tasted her thoroughly. Levy felt a burning sensation run through her body, aching to be satisfied. She ran her hands across Gajeel's broad shoulders, admiring every taut muscle her hands ran over. She slowly slipped her tongue out to meet his, grinning inwardly when she heard a throaty moan from the man beneath her. She slowly grinded her body on his, feeling him throb within the layers of clothing between them. This earned her a louder moan and his hands grasped her hips and impatiently pushed her onto him, trying to relieve his need with almost painful friction.

Levy ran her hands through his thick black hair, pulling lightly as he deepened their kiss. Levy responded, slowly moving her hips in a circular motion on top of Gajeel's groin, teasing him.

Levy being inexperienced was something she was always teased about but given the fact that she read some raunchy romance books in her pastimes and the way she was teasing Gajeel now, it did not cease her movements. Gajeel's hands roamed freely on her body, caressing her dips and curves repeatedly, almost as if he was trying to burn it all to memory. They broke apart reluctantly for air and Levy took this chance to drop her hands to the bottom of his shirt, tugging on it in impatience. Gajeel in understanding pulled off the annoying fabric and helped Levy pull off her dress, both itching for more contact.

As Levy's dress was pulled off, Gajeel had to concentrate on stopping a bloody nose as his eyes took in her petite yet beautiful body. She was wearing a matching set of black lacy panties, leaving absolutely nothing to imagination as she sat bare for him. She quickly covered her chest as he unclasped her bra, a red blush forming on her cheeks.

"Don't hide yourself from me, Levy. You're beautiful." Gajeel softly murmured into her ear as he pulled her arms away from her chest, trailing hot kisses down her collarbone. The use of her actual name caused Levy to comply, letting Gajeel grasp her soft globes, licking and nibbling on her hard nipples. She let out a low moan as he teased her, feeling a coil tighten in her body, aching to be released. She began to lightly rub herself on his groin, trying to relieve the throbbing ache between her legs. In any other situation she would be embarrassed, but him teasing her nipples and lust running through her body, she seemed to lose her inhibitions.

Gajeel stopped his teasing as he felt his cock throb almost painfully against Levy's wanton movements. He moved back to claim her lips and wrapped his arms around her as he abruptly stood up, causing Levy to wrap her legs around his waist. Without breaking their kiss, Gajeel managed to move them to his room, lightly dropping her onto his sheets.

"Please Levy, tell me I can have you." His voice was almost strangled, eyes burning with lust and need as he crawled on top of Levy. She answered by placing a scorching kiss on his lips and it was enough for Gajeel to pull off the remainder of his clothes and toss them behind him. He jumped back onto her body, nibbling and kissing down her torso and slowly pulling off the last piece of clothing that covered her womanhood. Gajeel stole a glance at her face and almost came at the sight. Her face was a flush of pink, her breathing erratic, and her eyes half lidded as she watched him.

He redirected his attention back to her soaked womanhood, his cock throbbing as her scent hit him, leaving him crazy with want. He greedily licked her core, tasting her for the first time. Levy immediately tensed up, her hands clawing at the bed sheets beneath her as his tongue continued to pull her to the edge. He inserted his finger inside her hot cavern, and when he heard Levy let out the sexiest noise he had ever heard he added another. His neglected cock was dripping with pre cum and he let out a groan as Levy began to move her hips onto his fingers, begging him to go deeper.

"Gajeel…please! Oh god, please! I need you." Levy's voice was laced with need and her fingers were clenching the sheets beneath them, her knuckles turning white. Gajeel growled and pulled his wet fingers out of her and replaced it with the head of his pulsing cock. He looked at Levy, looking for any trace of uncertainty and when he found none, he began to slowly push into her pulsing heat. He growled in pleasure as her heat clenched around his cock deliciously. His cock hit a thin barrier marking her purity and he pulled Levy into another searing kiss.

"This is going to hurt." He whispered tenderly into her ear and gave a hard thrust, tearing her barrier until he was fully seated inside. She gave out a whimper of pain, small tears beginning to run down her face. His heart broke at her pain and murmured sweet nothings as he kissed her tears away in silent apology. Levy slowly adjusted to the feeling of him inside her and got over the initial shock of pain. She could feel him hard and throbbing inside of her and she had never felt so full. Levy adjusted to his size and hooked her legs around him, giving him permission to move. He tentatively rocked his hips, his eyes never leaving hers as he looked for any more signs of pain. But Levy just moaned his name as the pain was replaced by intense heat and pleasure. She began to push herself onto him, urging him to move faster as moans of his name slipped out of her bruised lips.

His name was repeated continuously from her lips as he pounded into her mercilessly, both trembling for release. He slipped his hand to where they were joined and rubbed her clit, which had her crying out in complete bliss. He swallowed her final scream with his lips as she finally came undone in his arms. The convulsions of her orgasm caused Gajeel to follow suit, her name on his lips as her clenching muscles milked him of his seed as he came inside of her.

They both fell onto the bed in satisfaction, trying to catch their breaths and calm their pounding hearts. Gajeel lazily switched their positions, pulling Levy on top of him and reaching around to pull the covers on both of their tired bodies. He slowly pulled out of her and groaned slightly at the erotic sight. Levy chuckled lightly and burrowed her face into his chest, letting out a noise of content.

"I'm so tired." She whispered into his chest, but he could hear her smile in her words. Gajeel wrapped his arms around the bookworm and nuzzled his face into her azure hair.

"Then go to sleep, shorty." He paused before he continued.

"I love you."

Levy smiled up at him tiredly.

"I love you too."

They fell asleep and every beat of Levy's heart slowly melted his own, washing away the guilt that had lingered for so long.

And finally, he was free.
