In the morning, Dragon Realm ~

Acnologia's P.O.V

I didn't know why the heck I woke up before Lucy, I simply just did. Normally, I would be sleeping for hours yet, but somehow, being with Lucy had changed that completely. Now, I woke up before her, which said something.

I opened my eyes and looked down at the sleeping silver-haired beauty. A smile found its way to my face. She was mine now, she was my mate. No one was of any threat when it went in that direction.

I changed to my Human form and kneeled down in front of her. I brushed her beautiful, silky hair out of her even more beautiful face, and pushed it behind her ear. I looked down at the place where I had marked her the night before. I carefully pushed the clothing away, revealing the bright-blue mark on her collar-bone.

It reminded me of the weird sensation I had felt right after I had marked her. I dropped my jacket and pulled off my shirt to see if there was anything visible. There was. A mark, like Lucy's and the ones I had as a Dragon, although bigger than Lucy's, but nowhere near as big as those in my Dragon from, in pitch-black decorated my chest.

I looked down at her again. So it wasn't only the females who got a mark, the males did too. I ran a hand through my unruly hair and picked up my shirt again. "Aww, and here I was; enjoying the good view." A soft voice mumbled behind me.

I smirked down at my mate, who was looking up at me with those irresistible brown eyes of hers. "So you like the view, do you?" I asked, spreading my arms out, as if it would give her a better view.

She got up and stood in front of me. She stood on the tips of her toes and gave me a quick peck on my lips. "Of course I do Sweetie." She teased me.

I groaned under my breath, both at the name she had given me and the way too short kiss. "Don't call me that." I smirked again. "Miss Lucy." I added, watching as she pouted cutely in anger. I pulled her into a hug, pushing her head against my bare chest, where the new mark rested, and buried my nose in her silky hair, inhaling her sweet scent, mixed with my own, making my Dragon cheer inside me. I didn't know how I had become so lucky to have a girl as wonderful as her. I felt her arms locking behind me above my waist. "I love you, Lucy." I mumbled down in her hair. I felt the need to tell her over and over so there was no doubt she understood.

She tightened her arms around me. "I love you too Acnologia." She said, making warmth flow throughout my whole body. I would never get tired of hearing those words. Ever. We just stood like that for a while, none of us really wanting to let go, but knowing we would have to. At some point. After too little time, Lucy's grip loosened around my waist. She looked up at me with those too-beautiful-for-her-own-good eyes. "I have to go meet the girls at the river." She whispered slowly, as if she was trying to stall just a little longer.

I nodded and reluctantly released her. She stepped back and looked up at me with a little smile. I immediately felt the absence of her warmth and had to restrain myself from reaching out and just keeping her in my arms.

She blew me a kiss and walked to the bag near the entrance, grabbed some new clothes and a towel and went out of the cave. I stared off into space; I could feel my chest burning where she'd touched me, like when you took a lump of ice in your bare hands and let it melt, as well as my back. It was a comfortable burning, one I wanted to experience again. Her sweet, sweet scent of vanilla and strawberries still lingered in our cave, it was the only thing I could smell.
