Author's Note: Hey everyone! So it is that time of week again; SUNDAY! Where I upload yet again another chapter! By now you guys know the drill-I get 5 reviews, I update immediately..ish. I want to thank everyone for the wonderful reviews and support you all have shown me. I can't believe I have so many people who not only read but LOVE this story. Again, started out on a whim on a Taylor Swift song; but I am so glad I am sticking to it.
So I got 9 votes in the poll and two people who were vocal about wanting a sequel so I suppose we know what that means! There will be a sequel in the works! However, as I have been typing this novel up, I have been working on a Natsu and Lucy one. Don't worry, I'm still in favor of Lucy and Loke...Just, I guess Natsu is growing on me too in his weird, idiotic way. But beside the point, After I wrap this up, I will be taking a break to start finishing up that one. Once that story is done then I will start posting the sequel, that make sense? Just to clarify: Finish this story first, finish and post the Natsu and Lucy one, then after that is done, work on and post the sequel to "You Are In Love".
On another note-There is a lemon in this chapter; so you know the rules. Anyone under 18 must skip the scene! You have been warned!
Again, I appreciate and am so grateful for all the support I have been given! You guys are simply amazing and the best fans anyone is lucky to have! So without any further delay the song for this chapter is "Tenerife Sea" by Ed Sheeran. Pull it up to listen while you read and Enjoy!
No One Knows Anything But Us
~Chapter Twenty~
Congratulations were exchanged into the setting night. It was almost overwhelming as the countless words of encouragement and heartfelt words kept coming from everyone at the party. Loke stayed close to Lucy's side as he had his arm wrapped around your waist as they accepted everyone's well wishes. It seems that the names they have chosen fit everyone's favor. Regardless if they liked the names or not, however, Lucy and Loke had chosen it for a reason and they wouldn't change it for anything in the world.
Lucy pat Asuka's head as she was hugging her middle when she finally came up again to talk to her new friends. "I knew that was your names for a loooong time! Layla we are gonna play cowgirls and your brother can play the bandit!" she squealed in delight which make the couple parents giggle.
"Not even born and already best friends huh Asuka?" Loke smiled kindly down at the raven haired cutie. She smiled up at Loke and Lucy beaming with happiness.
"Uh huh! I can't wait for me and Layla to go play every day!" she giggled.
"Alright sweetheart, time to go home now. Say goodbye to your friends." Bisca leaned her head on Alzack's shoulder. Asuka pouted for a moment but then smiled.
"Bye Layla and Luke! I will see you guys real soon! Bye Miss. Lucy and Mr. Loke!" Asuka stepped back and waved. Lucy's heart was swelling from watching the little one being so happy.
"We expect you all to come back real soon." Loke waved back.
"Safe trip back." Lucy voiced as they small family continued their goodbyes. Lucy and Loke waved to their retreating forms as she relaxed against Loke.
"They really are a cute family." she sighed softly.
"Not the cutest thought." Loke chuckled as he tightened his hold on her and with his free hand rubbed her swollen belly. The kicking had died down for now as they were so relaxed.
"Heh, I think you are right. And Asuka is so adorable. I know that her and Layla are going to make fast friends." Lucy leaned over and lightly kissed Loke's neck. He smiled down at her as he looked at his beautiful mate. Eventually under the open sky of stars and moon, the party began to die down. As volunteers offered to clean up, Loke wrapped his arm around Lucy's shoulders and began to lead her back into their home. Lucy looked up at him confused but he has a devilish glint in his eye.
"I am afraid the surprise are not stopping just yet." he whispered to her teasingly.
"Oh no, no more surprises!" Lucy whined under his arm.
"I promise you, you will love this one." he chuckled as he pressed her close to his side. His warmth and his scent made this house feel like a real home. He lead her up the stairs to the bedrooms. He paused them in front of a blank door as Lucy looked up at him curiously. He gave her a nod to encourage her to leave his side to open the door. Hesitantly, she opened the door, which was adorned with celestial magic and was beautifully crafted with swirls and shapes, slowly and came to the sight of a nursery. A blue and green mini-celestial realm that Loke reconstructed with his own two hands. Lucy couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing as she looked at the details of the symbol of the lion to little reminders of her and her keys.
"There is a matching one back at the palace." Loke spoke smugly from the door way as Lucy stepped through with misty eyes. She carefully stepped through the door as the mist turned to happy tears. By the time she touched the cribs, she was practically sobbing with joy. How in all the heavens was he able to do this? How much work, time, and effort did it take him to make such a beautiful place? Everything was detailed of her and Loke down to the key mobiles that hovered over each crib. However in the cribs there were two stuffed animals, a lion and a dragon. Probably the work of Natsu if Lucy had to place a bet on it. So much happiness was felt within her she might as well burst. Loke was never one to disappoint with his silly surprises.
Lucy suddenly felt his strong arms encircle her from behind as Loke walked in and held her as she steadied herself in her emotional state. These mood swings were certainly giving her whiplash as one moment she is content and the next her crying, then she was sobbing all from pure happiness. Would these tears ever end for this girl? Although she was trembling in her arms, she couldn't help but smile through them. She thanked him through hiccupping breath. Loke looked down at her with the warmest grin he could give. She was a mess in his arms, but she was his mess and yet, she was so endearing to him. She moved around in his arms and pressed her face into his chest crying. He wrapped his arms around her more and rubbed her back and hair as she tried to collect her emotions. He loved that he could hold her like this and she could cry in front of him. How many times has she cried and he could not offer any condolence? He needed to make up for lost time and he would. He was here now and he would be damned if he ever let her out of his arms again. After several moments, he finally tilted her chin up and made her look at him. Her cheeks were tear stained and her sniffling touched his heart. Even through these tears she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen and best of all, she was his.
"I did good?" he asked attentively. She gave an expiated gasp in disbelief but the smile didn't leave her lips. She gave a nod and, without warning, he leaned down and kissed her passionately. His mouth over hers as their mouths move in slow heat. He felt her hum in pure happiness against him as she still clung to him. Her hands grasp his suit as she moved with the kiss. The couple shared their tender moment in the room where their love would sleep and grow.
"Th-thank you..." she sniffled as they finally parted and she gazed up with so much adoration in her expression. He was her everything and so much more.
"Oh Lucy..." he suddenly cradled her to him as he reached his limit. She was so damn beautiful and he wanted her so badly.
"Leo!" she squealed as he exited the room. "Put me down!" Lucy tried kicking her legs as she was surprised by his sudden boldness.
"But Luce, I am taking us back to our room. We need to christen it!" He purred seductively in her ear. Lucy froze up as a deep pink tint crossed her cheeks at what he was planning. Already her tears have stopped and were quickly replaced by embarrassing heat.
"Wait you can't!" she cried.
"I already talked to Parlyusica. We will be fine." he assured her with a kiss to silence any protest she might try to logically gain her way. He easily got the double doors to the Master bedroom opened. The room was almost a replica of the one from his home back in his celestial realm. Everything was like his room down to his fur bedding. He gently laid her down and cupped her face. She looked at him with heated expression. "Let me love you again my love, my Lucy, my Beautiful." he softly spoke to her deeply and captured her lips. A soft moan escaped from her mouth as his hands began to roam over her beautiful, glowing from Motherhood body. They may have had made love in that hell, but it did not do justice to the real thing. he was going to reclaim her as they would christen their new bedding and their new home.
***If you are under the age of 18, do not read any further until after this scene!***
Lucy's trembling fingers tried to undo his suit and tie. She bit her bottom lip as already she was heated from the moment and trying to rush being joined as one once again with the man that she loved more than anything in this realm or his. He chuckled at her attempt and gave mercy to her by assisting in helping her remove their clothing until both laid nude on the bedding. Loke looked down at Lucy with the expression that always gave her butterflies. She was his world and the very meaning to his being. He looked at her like his whole life had been nothing until she walked into it. She was his and his alone. Her flesh was pink, her eyes heavy, and her breathing was quickening in anticipation. She was ready for this moment as it had been quite a long time coming. He kissed her deeply.
"Do you trust me?" he asked her quietly. The room was still save for the couple that was occupying it now. Without a hesitation, Lucy gave a nod of encouragement.
"Love me Leo..." she begged him on baited breath. With granted permission, he flipped her on her belly and held her hips as he took his position behind her. The movement was so quick, Lucy had no idea that this is what he was planning. She gripped the fur and sheets as she automatically was brought back to their little vacation. Loke was used to making love to her then, but here, he hadn't had her in months. Something warned her deep in her belly that this was going to be a very satisfying ride.
"Le-Leo..." she murmured from the bedding. Her tone was full of need but also worry. He couldn't stop the biggest smirk on his face as he could feel her arousal and the need in her tone. Gods she was driving the beast inside him wild. He was a lion and he wanted his claim once more. He took in her intoxicating scent as he savored her. Licking his lips he leaned down to whispered in her ear. His hot breath made the mage shudder in anticipation.
"Don't worry, I won't be cruel." he swore to her sincerely. Bringing his one hand around her widen hips and protruding belly, he found the sensitive flesh of her slit and the swollen nub begging to be touched. He lightly started to play with her between her legs as his other hand stroked his already waiting member. He could hear her heavy panting from Lucy as her hips wiggled against his teasing fingers. He got harder and thicker as small pearls were appearing at the tip of his jolting member. He watched her reactions as his prey was enjoying being taken care of. Her scent was assaulting his senses as her moans were driving him mad with need. But he needed to make sure she was ready and to take his time. He didn't want to rush this and harm his mate; no matter what the lion inside him demanded. He took a peek down at her slit as she was dripping wet as liquid was coating down her thighs. He knew then that she was ready for him.
He moved his hands back to her hips as she was kneading the sheets and gave a loud whine of protest as he had stopped his pleasuring. He chuckled deeply in his chest as he liked having this kind of power and reaction from her. His member continued to jolt upward as he sought out Lucy's warmth that it was so accustomed to. The tip of his member coated her at her entrance as he teased her by rubbing up into her slit and over her nub. Lucy struggled to try and push his member in more as she wanted him badly. She continued her breathy protests for justice. He put her in this position and he damn well finish what he started.
"Damnit Leo! Please!" she tried to sound demanding but it came out breathy and heavy with need.
"As you wish Beautiful." he slowly entered her as one hand went back around her hips to continue to stimulate her nub flesh. He leaned his body more so on her back as he moved to fill her completely. His mouth latched onto his mark as he suckled it. Lucy let out a cry as her body was weeping in joy at the return of the King of Beasts.
"Leo!" she cried out
"That is it Lucy, take me fully in. That's a good girl." he groaned as he was pushing his way into her. Lucy dug her nails into the bedding as he rubbed and began to thrust. Slowly he brought himself in and almost all the way out. The process was repetitive but began to quicken as they found a rhythm they both found satisfying. His member angled and tried to find her most pleasurable nerves while she pulsed around him and milked his swollen member. His mouth assaulted her mark as Lucy cried out more in need. Her scent and arousal was driving the King of Beasts to wanting to ravage her to his full potential, but the warning from Parlyusica in her instruction of taking his time and pleasuring her to prevent harm to the precious cargo within Lucy, kept his sanity in check. He took special care not to press her too hard on the bedding and he moved himself deeper and deeper still inside her.
Lucy felt herself going mad as the pleasure was so intense. He was giving his all into her. This whole time they have been barred from one another and now they were starting to make up for the lost time. She moved her hips back onto him as she continued to squeeze her walls. She gasped and panted; calling out his name. This moment was worth every tear she shed and every time her heart was breaking, and for every moment he was away. He was worth every single second of it.
"LEO! LEO! MY GODS YES! PLEASE!" she begged him squeezing her eyes as the heat between them was intensifying.
"Show me that cute face Lucy; the only one able to see that face is me!" he spoke with gritted teeth. Lucy kept up to his pace as she was shuddering around his member in pleasure.
"More LEO! I WANT more!" she begged.
"Oh I will be giving you more and then some! I'm going to mess you up all night long!" he growled deeply as the beast was being let out.
"Do-don't talk like that!" she whimpered but she felt the pace begin to increase to her delight. He watched her face as it was heated and her eyes were closed so tightly. He saw her hands digging into the bedding as her body moving around his cock. He watched as she was getting so close to that blissful release. Their bodies were coated in a light sheen of sweat as his member was jolting up into her velvet heat.
"Leo! L-Leo I'm-Oh LEO!" Lucy was close to that sweet threshold. Leo gripped her more as he raced to that 'finish line'. "I-I'M-OH LEO! KYYAAA!" her walls suddenly collapsed around him and clamped down tightly as it milked the swollen member deep inside. Pounding the last of his thrusting into her, Loke thrust his hips in an arch as he released deeply within. Both voices harmonizing in their cries. The bed pounded underneath them as waves of pleasure rolled off them both in waves. Lucy and Loke finally leaned on the bed as they struggled to catch their breath. Lucy felt she was in pure heaven as her body basked in the afterglow of their lovemaking. She was suddenly brought out of her thoughts by a certain stiffness regaining life within her.
"Le-Leo?!" she asked weakly. "Y-you can't possibly b-be..." she protested.
"Oh but Beautiful, I have missed you greatly and aren't we celebrating my homecoming?" Loke purred into her ear as he was leaned over.
"Bu-but..." she whimpered.
" Try not to worry so much Beautiful, don't you know that I am in control. You said that you trusted me, remember?" he smirked as he used her own words against her.
"I-I do..." Lucy replied panting as she suddenly felt that she fell for one of his traps and he was winning.
"Then let me make love to you." Loke started to move once again. True to his word, he made love to her all night long.
***It is safe to read after this!***
~Two Days Later!~
Loke and Lucy were settling into their new home. Team Natsu have had moved into the guest rooms temporarily. It was like having one big family under one roof. Lucy couldn't be any happier. Loke stayed close to her side and when he wasn't, he was out training with Gray and Natsu. It seem that all was forgiven between the three; well more specifically Natsu and Loke. It seems that the lion and the dragon have made peace between them. Wendy stayed with Lucy and kept a watchful eye on her in case she needed to help heal the expecting mother as her time was starting to approach. The babies move so much more freely inside her. Erza kept up with the guild as they enjoyed their few days of peace. Lucy was washing dishes as Erza and Wendy were preparing lunch. The girls suddenly heard Warren telling them to get back to the guild after the meal as the Princess of Magnolia, Princess Hisui, was there to tell them some important new.
Shortly after the message, the boy had returned back to the house from training. They, too, had heard what Warren had said. "The Princess had come all the way up here. It must be really important for her to travel all this way instead of sending a message. I hope whatever news it is, that is good news." Wendy smiled as the food was being set out and people started to take their seats.
"She wouldn't bother making the trip out here without a good reason." Gray replied as he started to make his own plate and start helping to serve with Loke. Loke had gotten up and started to serve the drink as Lucy was helped into her seat by Erza.
"Hopefully we can go after the rest of the spirit. I want to fight Taurus or even Capricorn so bad!" Natsu grinned. Lucy looked a little worried as Carla threw him a look. Natsu caught on. "I-I mean of course not to hurt them but...well you know...for last time!" he tried to laugh it off as he rubbed the back of his head with his goofy grin. Lucy sighed with a soft smile.
"Natsu, you are hopeless." she replied. She put her napkin on her now smaller lap as her belly was consuming her as it stuck out from her hips. Everyone sat around the table as the meal was consumed. There was an excited speculation as they discussed about what new the Princess might have brought. Lucy leaned against Loke as she ate her meal and felt that this is what a real family looked like. Once the meal was done and things cleaned up, Erza kept them on track as they finally started to head towards the guild.
~Guild~
When the group arrived, the Princess and her guard had everyone gathered around them. The master sat in his usual spot on the bar crossed legged.
"Ah, you finally arrived." he greeted them with a serious tone.
"Our apologies Master. It took a little longer than expected. We are sorry for our tardiness." Erza bowed in apology as the rest did the same. Lucy tried to bow but her belly had gotten in the way. Loke helped her straighten up as she wouldn't put too much strain on her back. The Princess, whom they hadn't noticed until they looked back up, had her eyes widen as she watched the couple.
"S-So it is true then..." she whispered. Lucy and Loke gave her a confused look at the stunned Princess.
"Something wrong your majesty?" Loke asked.
"I remember you Leo the Lion, correct?" She asked curious.
"That I am." he spoke kindly to her.
"So it is true then, you impregnated your own master?" she boldly asked. Although Lucy had left the Grand Wizard Games on good terms with the Princess, she narrowed her eyes at the offending question. Loke was about to speak out but Lucy stepped forward.
"Loke and I never saw each other as Master and Slave. I am Leo's mate and mother of his children. I am his Beautiful and he is my King of Beasts." she spoke firmly but her tone was clearly one of protectiveness. Loke's pride swelled within him. He couldn't' be more happier to see her standing up for their relationship instead of being ashamed or hiding it.
"Isn't it forbidden?" she asked stunned.
"Who cares?" Lucy crossed her arms over her belly and continued to glare in challenge. The guard, Arcadios, took a step forward and Loke narrowed his eyes.
"My mate means no offense, but if I think you might be intending harm to her or my children; there will be hell to pay." he growled dangerously even though his body language was cool and collected. There was something of a promise of a world of hurt if one more step was taken towards his mate. The Master cleared his throat as the tension in the room was almost unbearable. All parties turned to face him.
"If we could get down to business, we can have a celestial world restored." he spoke directly to them all. Loke kept Lucy close to his side. The Princess nodded and gently rested a hand on her guard's arm to step back down. He looked at her and she gave a nod. She then turned her gaze once more towards Lucy.
"First, please tell us how Loke...or Leo gained his self?" she asked. Lucy blinked a few times as she registered the question.
"What does it matter?" she demanded.
"It could help shed some light on how we can stop this and get the celestial realm back to normal." the Princess explained. Loke and Lucy exchanged trusting looks as there were only two people in this world they trusted and they were side by side.
"Very well." Lucy replied to the Princess as she broke her gaze with Loke. She agreed, but kept close to her mate. She explained what happened back at the celestial realm and the light form her hands when she touched Loke's head. Loke looked at her surprised as she did not mention that. Lucy did omit certain details of previous encounters save the one after. The Princess didn't question it as she listened to what was relaying to her. she thought deeply after Lucy finished.
"Lucy, we may need your help." she carefully spoke. Loke gritted his teeth as he straightened his stance.
"No, absolutely not." he growled.
"Leo?" Lucy asked confused. What she said couldn't have warrant such a reaction out of him.
"I am afraid she is the only one who can help to stop this and break the others of their own mind. She can stop the ritual!" the Princess argued.
"She is pregnant! I won't let her anywhere near this in her condition! It'll put too much stress on them!" he wasn't going to back down.
"You may not have a choice." Arcadios snapped as the tension rose once more. Lucy opened her closed eyes angrily as she had, had enough.
"Stop it! All of you! I am right here!" she cried as they all faced her.
"I'll do it." she finally spoke after a few moments.
"No I-"
"I am my own person Loke! I can make my own decisions! I don't need your approval on this one!" she glared angrily at the lion. He returned her glare with one of his own. Everyone watched as the couple, that was once paired so close, was now squaring off.
"Lucy, I won't let our children be in anymore danger than what they have been through. You heard Parlyusica; they need you." he reasoned.
"Won't make a difference Loke if we all disappear in twelve days. You know the hell they are going through as we stand here and debate a moment longer. Think of Aries and the others that are suffering! I can't sit back and wait anymore; especially if I am the key to fixing this." Lucy stood her ground. Both continued to square off as neither would be the first to back down from this. Either way, both would lose something precious to the other.
"There may be a compromise here if you both would listen." the Princess spoke firmly. Both looked over towards her."I believe I have a way to have Lucy help and to be able to not have her be in danger."
"How?" demanded Loke. Arcadios reached out beside him and sat a metal briefcase with the royal crest on the table. Loke and Lucy, along with the others, gathered around it curiously. The Princess opened it and a set of keys were laid out.
"What..." Lucy trailed off confused.
"This is our answer." Princess Hisui smiled.
