8 Letters

Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I do not own the series Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. No copyright intended. I do own the story line, because I made that all up with my brain.

"Poor girl under so much pressure, so much stress. Betrayed by a friend, saying such harsh things, stings worse than by an enemy for you expect it from the enemy. Telekta, I give you the power of teleportation. It will give you the power to go anywhere your heart desires, to be free from all responsibilities and people who harmed you. All I need in return are Chat Noir and Ladybugs' miraculous." Monarch's voice echoed through my mind, offering something far too tempting. Freedom.

"Okay." I said in my mind, giving in to my need to escape.

Luka's P.O.V

"Nino, quick, get help!" Alya shouted.

Nino nodded and just as quickly ran to do just as she asked but where too, I had no idea since there would be no help to come. Only Ladybug can purify an akuma and she won't be coming to save anyone if she can't even save herself.

"What was the point in that?" I asked her, annoyed as I looked at the love of my life struggling between light and dark as Monarch tried to take control of her.

"Just to get him out of here. We have to get her earrings before she turns! Help me restrain her!" She yelled.

Alya moved quickly, managing to get one of her earrings free before the akumas power blasted us, throwing us away from her. Alya quickly put it on, daring to go for the other one when the person before us was no longer Marinette. The person before me still had Marinette's face, wearing a red short dress that had long sleeves, black heels and her hair was down, longer. The only thing out of place was the bracelet she made out of the guitar pick I gave her when we met. That has to be where the akuma is. I need to get Sass.

"Luka! We have to go now!" Alya yelled as she started to make a break for it, heading in the direction of Marinette's house.

I picked up on what she was getting at and I quickly rushed after her to catch up. Alya must know where Ladybug keeps the kwami's and other miraculous, but am stopped by an akumatized Marinette appearing before me.

"Luka Couffaine, I am Telekta. Come with me so we can be together." She said, her voice flat as she reached for my hand.

Even akumatized, Marinette wants to be with me. I'm not sure if I should be flattered or worried. But knowing that means that she's still in there and there's a chance she can fight this and break Monarch's hold on her.

"No, Telekta. I only want to be with the real Marinette."

I then side stepped her and ran away, trying to catch up to Alya. Telekta appeared before me again as I got closer to the bakery.

Telekta looked taken aback and confused, "Why when we can escape together, go somewhere nobody knows us and start over? There would be no more responsibility put on us. No more people we love betraying us. It would just be us."

My heart sank, her role as Ladybug had always been putting her in an impossible situation. I would take the soonest escape too if it were me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Rena Rouge. With an orange light glow a double me was put into place, as Rena Rouge came around and handed me my miraculous. My kwami, a ball of teal light coming out from the bracelet.

"Greetings Luka."

"Sass, it's good to see you."

"Luka, I made a mirage of you talking to Telekta. Put this on. I have a plan. But we need to act quickly, I was only able to get one of her earrings, we will need both to fully put things back in order." Rena Rouge explained.

"We need to capture her and you'll have to use Second Chance as many times as it takes for us to get the other earring. Once we have, I'll put it on to use Lucky Charm. Do you know where the akuma might be?" She asked.

"In the guitar pick. It's the only thing out of place and what's left of the real Marinette." I explained.

"Perfect. Move quickly, I'm not sure how long the mirage will last."

I put the bracelet on, "Sass, scales slither."

Capturing Telekta was a bit of a challenge as every time we thought we had her, she'd just teleport her way out of it. Chat Noir made his way on the scene and Rena Rouge filled him in on the plan. Adding that he needs to use Cataclysm on the guitar pick after we capture her. It took 10 tries before we finally got her, Rena Rouge made a mirage of me and like a magnet, Telekta kept looking for me. I felt a little bad about using myself as bait for her. Deep down she just wants to run away with me, from all of this, and be together. On the 10th try, she was growing irritated and misstepped when reaching for the mirage of me, long enough for me to restrain her and the mirage broke. She shouted and Rena came in quick as lightning and got the other earring.

"Tikki, Trix. Unify." She shouted and with a red and orange glow she became a Foxbug?

"Lucky Charm!"

A loud crash could be heard, causing the road to break as a cage fell over Telekta, keeping her in. The buzzing of the electrical bars zapping her every time she tried to escape. Giving Chat Noir his opportunity to destroy the bracelet and for Rena to capture the akuma in Ladybug's yo-yo. Rena shouted the magic words and with the help of the magical ladybugs, everything went back to normal. Or as normal as it can be. We were back on the houseboat once everything went back in place. Alya and I got back a bit later than Marinette had as we had to find somewhere to hide and de-transform. Mari looked dizzy at first trying to figure out what happened. Alya ran over to her to help her up.

"Here, I think these belong to you." Alya said, handing her back the earrings.

Her eyes widened then tears formed in them, "It's okay. Your secret is still safe, Luka and I made quite the team." Alya told her, smiling proudly.

She looked over at me and my knees nearly buckled at that look. She looked so defeated. I went over to her, arms open as she crashed into me for a hug.

"I'll give you two some time. Call me later okay?" Alya said to Marinette, rubbing her back.

Marinette nodded and once Alya was gone, I pulled out of the embrace and took her hand in my right hand and with my left I cupped her face.

"Oh my Marinette, if you only knew. At first, I never expected you to end up falling for me too someday. I was just content with simply being your friend and if you ever did end up with someone else, I'd always still be there for you. I didn't care as long as they truly loved you in return and made you happy, I'd be fine with it knowing that it'll mean that you will always have that beautiful smile on your face, it was enough for me. But as fate would have it, you did love me back in equal measure and I could never be happier. I never want it to end. But my darling, we can't be selfish with each other. Your duty as Ladybug is too important to ever just run away from it as much as I want to too, we can't. I love you so much Marinette, for a moment I thought I lost you."

She let out a shaky breath, "For a moment, you did."

I kissed her then pulled away and started to take off my miraculous but her hand stopped me.

"You should keep it on you, just in case. That cannot happen again, Luka."

"It won't, I'll make sure of it." I promised her.

End of Luka's P.O.V

*Time Skip: One Month Later. June.*

I laid on his bed, eyes closed as I relaxed, trying to clear my mind of being Monarch's latest victim last month. Luka and I have now been dating for 2 whole months, summer break will be starting soon. June 10th to be exact, it's June 2nd today. Juleka and I are still a little rocky, having not spoken much since the fight. She did apologize though so that's a start I guess but when I tried talking to her to help her, she shut down. Alya was out of line that day and I can't imagine the pain she is feeling as she struggles within herself. Ankara and Juleka are out tonight celebrating Juleka's acceptance into a modeling school with the help of a recommendation from Adrien. We were going to join them to the movies and a shopping trip to the mall but I was feeling out of it so we stayed at the houseboat, alone. Luka is sitting next to me as I listen to him strumming some random melody on his acoustic, humming along. A tune I recognize as it's one of my favorite songs, but of course he knows that.

I smiled, turning around so I could look at him, "Isn't that from the Goo-Goo Dolls?"

"Yeah." He said with a smile and continued humming.

"And I don't want the world to see me cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am."

His tender voice filled my ears, I could listen to him sing forever, I hummed along with him to add some harmony. And the way his face looks so at peace when he's playing his music, it's so amazing to watch. I laid on my stomach, arms holding my head up as I watched in awe as he did what he loves. Gosh he is so talented and that voice makes me totally swoon.

"I love you." I said, sighing, smiling at him.

I frowned when I no longer heard the music, "Hey why'd you stop?"

His smile grew as he set the guitar down, "Did I hear that right?"

I sat up, confused. "What?"

He came closer to me, "You said it. You said that you love me." He said, smirking.

"And?" I asked not getting why he's this happy about it. He knew that I loved him.

"It's the first time you said it aloud, Mari. Say it again, please."

I scooted over to him, swinging my leg around so I'm sitting on his lap. I brought my forehead to his and smiled.

"I love you."

He smiled, "One more time so I'm not imagining it."

I laughed, "I love you, Luka Couffaine."

He reached up and kissed me, I smiled into the kiss and held his face as my other hand cradled the back of his neck. His hands tugged on my dress, willing it to just rip off my body. I laughed as I broke the kiss, letting him slip it off me with ease and it fell on the floor in a pink heap. His hands roam my skin and it's like a million little electric pulses through me. I tug at his shirt and help him take it off, he kisses me again. I reach up and take the hair tie out of my ponytail, letting it fall in black waves. Yes my hair is actually a deep black that looks midnight blue in the lighting. Just like my mom's hair. A move I know will drive Luka crazy. There's just something about me letting my hair down that he loves.

He groans as he breaks the kiss to look at me. "God, Marinette, you are so beautiful."

I take off my earrings and set them on the end stand, sending Tikki back to the miracle box. I don't need an audience for this. He watches me carefully as I push him to lay down as I still sit on top of him, moving my arms out of my bra straps then reaching behind me to unhook it. I hesitate for a moment, holding it in place before it falls to fully reveal me. I take a breath as he watches me in anticipation, I slowly remove the bra and drop it on top of my dress. My long hair hides my breasts from view but with one movement, I gather it to the one side and drape it over my shoulder, giving him full view and access to me.

"Fuck." He breathes out and I giggle.

Unsure if he was just mentally engraving every detail of me in his mind or he didn't know what to do from here, I took his hand and put it on my body.

"Touch me, it's okay."

"Mari." He said, voice low.

"Don't move." He said as he lifted me off him and set me back down on his bed.

He grabbed his shirt from the floor and tossed it outside his door then closed it, locking it too for good measure. I laughed as he still tried to follow his mom's rules while barely controlling himself. With a quick movement he slipped off his sweatpants and joined me on the bed, I scooted back to make room for him. He kissed me roughly, holding me close to him. I moaned as I closed my eyes and let him do what he wanted, loving every new feeling he gave to my body. I gasped as I felt his mouth on my breast and him squeezing the other, I hummed as it felt so good. The hand that was squeezing me trailed down my side, across my stomach and I felt his finger toy with the lace on my panties. My heartbeat increased as I leaned into him, giving him the okay and he slipped them under. I gasped as I first felt his fingers inside me, rubbing me in all the right places. He stopped sucking on my breast and pulled his hand out, I pouted at the loss of his touch and he chuckled. He grabbed onto the side of my panties tugging them down then looking up at me, I bit my lip and raised my butt so he could get them off. He sat back for a moment to admire me, running his hands back down my body. He hummed and I swear I saw him lick his lips as if I were some divine feast he was about to taste. It turned me on more than I'd like to admit.

He lifted my right leg then started to kiss it down, until he got to my inner thigh and then to my core. He licked me from bottom to top and my breath hitched.

"Luka?" I said his name in question as to what he was doing.

He chuckled a bit then kissed me, I gripped the bed sheets as I felt his tongue first toy with me, sending a light buzz all throughout my body.

I moaned again, louder than I intended as I felt him bite me lightly but damn.

"Luka." I moaned out his name as I felt his tongue flick all around me, making me wetter with every lick.

He moaned himself then stopped and got back over me so we're face to face. He slowly took off his boxes, freeing his pulsating member just itching to get inside me. I kissed him and nodded, he positioned himself, then slowly inserted his amazing length in me. I shut my eyes tight at the sudden jolt of pain as my hymen broke, Luka kissed me trying to distract me from the pain as he thrusted slowly until I got used to the feeling. But then I found myself wanting more.

"Luka." I said, moving my hips up for emphasis and he gladly complied.

He gathered my legs, letting them rest on his shoulders as he moved closer to me. Thrusting a bit too hard and fast that it hurt me a little but he quickly made up for it. He then leaned over me close enough for me to kiss his neck, smiled as I started kissing him earning a low growl from him. Then I bit him and it's like that gave him a boost in energy as he got rougher, holding my hips to him to make sure I'm as close as I can be to him, making me scream in pleasure as it felt like my insides were going to explode with ecstasy and that's when I felt it. My first orgasm. And certainly not my last with the pace he's going. I moaned out his name the same time he said mine, he hadn't gone yet but I know he felt mine as his penis twitched inside me as my walls tightened around it.

My body shudders as the feeling subsides and Luka goes even deeper inside me to build it back up which doesn't take him long. I put a hand on his chest to get his attention, he lets me flip us over to where I'm the one on top. I lower myself back on top of him and move my hips to what feels right, Luka's hands on me to help guide me. He lifts himself and thrusts with me, I moan again feeling another orgasm and he knows it as he's moving me faster and faster with him. Until finally we both came, Luka flipped me back over kissing me as he thrusted a few more times before pulling out. I laid on his bed trying to calm my erratic heartbeats as I felt my release coming out of me more that his presence is no longer there.

"Oh shit." I whispered as I noticed the huge puddle it created on his bed.

He chuckled as he rolled off the bed, having caught his breath. "It's fine Mari. That's what a washing machine is for."

He said as I slowly got up to help him gather his sheets, "First shower, then laundry."

I nodded and we walked out, still totally nude and sticky with sex and sweat as we made our way to the bathroom. Luka grabbed two towels from the closet then closed and locked the door. Thank god we're still the only one's here. Ankara and Juleka aren't due to be home until after midnight and when I looked at the clock in the living room it only read 10:45pm. Luka peed first then started the shower up and I climbed in after I used the toilet. I giggled, did we seriously just pee together? I guess we don't have anything to hide from each other now. Also this was now our first shower together. I smile as I put my face under the water, I then turn around and wipe my eyes, and push my hair back. When I opened my eyes I noticed Luka looking at me, full of desire as the water poured down on me. I looked down and saw him starting to get hard again.

"Don't get any ideas mister." I teased.

He pulled me to him, "Wouldn't dream of it."

I pulled him to me in another kiss then hopped up on him as he instinctively grabbed my legs and wrapped them around him. I lowered myself enough to where he was barely skimming my entrance but with one thrust, he was inside me once again and started pounding into me as he held onto the wall for support. I tilted my head back loving him in every way. I then found that spot again on his neck and bit him, licking and sucking that spot until I screamed out again in pleasure, as he kept hitting my g-spot. His mouth was back on mine in an instant, our tongues already clashing together in passion. How he managed to kiss the hell outta me and keep thrusting was beyond me. He came when I did that time, my walls tightening around him again. After a bit Luka lowered me back to the shower floor. He let me step out first to pee and then he did once I got back in the shower, finding his loofah and body wash I started cleaning myself, not caring that I'd smell like him. I was rinsing myself off when he got back in and handed him the soap filled loofah to wash himself.

Once the shower was over we wrapped ourselves in towels, Luka got dressed in a while t-shirt with a guitar on the front and his pants were blue with little guitars all over them. He then grabbed me some clothes to change into while he started the laundry. Seeing as I didn't have any extra clothes over here, I had to make do by not wearing any underwear. He gave me some white sweatpants and his old Jagged Stone graphic t-shirt. I headed out to the kitchen to find something to snack on, settling on popcorn. I put it in the microwave and grabbed a bowl from the cabinet. Luka came back in from the laundry room and hugged me from behind, I smiled.

"I'll go put on a movie." He said then kissed the back of my ear.

When the popcorn was done I poured it into the bowl then tossed the bag and walked over to where Luka had set up a spot for us on the L-Shaped couch, he lounged one way so I could lay down on him. He turned on one of my favorite rom-com shows and we settled in comfortably after he grabbed a black knitted blanket from the closet. He kissed my forehead as I grabbed some popcorn. I smile at his affection. Alya was right. The first time makes you feel complete, I found my missing piece.
