Time Changes Everything

A First for Everything

   Lucy couldn't remember a time she felt like this. Her blood was boiling and her body felt as if it were on fire. Her lips met with Gajeel's and the satisfied moan that came from the male had her nerves going haywire. Something in the back of her head nagged at her but she was able to silence it the closer she got to him. Warm hands found their way to her waist and pulled her forward into his toned chest. The deep purr that rumbled from her chest only spurred the male onward. 

   Gajeel pulled away from her lips momentarily to gaze down at Lucy's flushed face as her eyes fluttered open. Golden irises stared back at him. She opened her mouth to speak and his attention was pulled down to her fangs, shining gold as her magic flared to life around her. Gajeel was taken by surprise when her mouth claimed his again and her eyes flashed white before they slid closed and he could no longer see them. 

   "Don't tease me like that Gaj." Lucy's sultry voice sent shivers down his spine. 

   "Bunny, Luce we can't keep doin' this. I'm not your mate." Gajeel groaned as Lucy ground her hips into his, her hands placed upon his shoulders. 

   "Who said anything about mates? Laxus has had his fair share of women that he wasn't mated to." Lucy retorted before she bent down to capture his lips again. 

   "I get that Bunny, but this isn't goin' to end well once we get back. Poison Breath is going to smell me all over you and I really don't want to deal with a vengeful dragon." Gajeel forced Lucy to sit down, watching as she pouted but sucked in a refreshing breath. 

   When her mind cleared of the lusty fog, she found herself incredibly embarrassed. She had practically forced herself on the male and she had liked it. Her dragon wasn't nearly as talkative around Gajeel as it was around Cobra but the chase he had led on had her dragon purring with excitement. The beast practically roared when she had won her prize and she couldn't contain it. Gajeel didn't seem against what was happening for the moment, eagerly responding to her kiss before he pulled away and brought her to her senses. Her eye momentarily dropped to his lips once more before she shook her head to banish those thoughts from her mind entirely. 

   "Gods you're right Gaj, I'm so sorry." Lucy apologized, her face flushed multiple shades of red. 

   "No need to apologize Bunny, I rather enjoyed the hunt." Gajeel's deep red eyes glowed as he stared into hers and they found themselves kissing again despite themselves. 

   "Gods I know this isn't right but it feels so good, please don't deny me like this anymore Gaj, I need this." Lucy purred, pulling away from his lips to pepper kisses down his neck towards his shoulder. 

   The male beneath her pondered the pros and cons of this situation before throwing caution to the wind. He grabbed Lucy by the waist and pulled her back on top of his lap, letting Lucy settle down before she pulled back up and captured his lips with hers again. The male groaned, feeling Lucy squirm in his lap had his usually impressive control weakening. When they broke for air, their labored breaths mixing together as they stared into each other's eyes (eye in Lucy's case), they realized just how affected the other was by this. That seemed to break what little hesitation they both had and within seconds their clothes were being shed and Gajeel was buried within Lucy's warm sheath. 

   They rocked and bucked against each other, somehow managing to keep steady up in the tree they were in. With Lucy in his lap, she set the pace but he wasn't about ready to let her take full control of the situation. With a feral growl, he gripped her waist roughly in his hands and pulled her down towards his hips. He met her thrust for thrust as they built towards their release, their soft chatter turning into muffled groans and moans. Lucy buried her face against Gajeel's neck, her fangs bared as she clenched her eye shut tightly as he pounded into her unrelentingly. This was just what she needed to burn off any remaining tension that had slowly been building up over the course of these last few weeks. 

   With a loud feminine roar, Lucy came undone in Gajeel's arms, her back bowed as she saw stars. Gajeel followed soon after her, pumping into her before pulling out and releasing onto her stomach. They sat in the tree, breathing heavily as they fought against their instincts to mark the other. Lucy found it harder to do than Gajeel mostly because she was still new to the magic. When they had their instincts under control they were able to pull away and clean themselves off the best they could with what they had. Virgo had popped out of her gate almost immediately after they had finished with fresh clothes in her arms along with a wet rag for them to wipe off with. The spirit bowed to them before disappearing with a rather scary glint in her eye that told Lucy that she would be back later to discuss with her about what took place. 

   The two slowly made their way back into town, not exactly ready to let go of what happened back in the forest, but knowing that they shouldn't do it again. The newfound attraction Lucy had for Gajeel surprised the blonde, but as she looked, really looked at the male by her side, she realized just how charming he was. His long thick hair fit him perfectly, giving him that roguish look that left her knees weak. She didn't know she was into someone with so many piercings but they didn't bother her as she took in his appearance.

   Gajeel could tell that Lucy was taking glances at him and if he were still in a isolated space he would've ended up kissing her again. It didn't help the fact that his dragon was currently growling at him for wasting his chance at claiming the blonde he now realized his dragon claimed as his. This was going to make going home a hell of a lot more challenging seeing as how there was already a dragon slayer there who had laid claim to the girl long before he had. Yet Cobra was still fighting his instincts so maybe that meant that Gajeel still had a chance. Judging by the way Lucy seemed so content with him earlier told him he at least had a shot of scoring the beautiful blonde next to him. 

   They bypassed the cafe, noticing how the rest of the group was no longer there and decided that it was best for them to head back to the hotel to pack up before meeting with the mayor to retrieve their reward. None of the others brought up how long they were gone despite the knowing looks that came from all of them the second they met up with them in the hotel. Laxus had actually choked on his spit when they came rounding the corner, their scents all over each other as they stepped apart to gather their things. He had no idea what had transpired but he now knew exactly what they went and did. He was just glad he didn't see any marks on their skin save for a few hickeys that lined their necks. 

   Sting found the entire thing funny, teasing both of them as they made their way to the mayor. Lucy had about had enough of the constant stream of jokes that slipped past his lips and knocked him upside the head, rendering him silent as they continued on their way. They met with the mayor, Lucy giving the old man a hug and a kiss on the cheek in greeting before he handed them the reward and gave Lucy her gate key. Her loud squeal had them covering their ears. 

   "I can't believe it! It's another elemental!" She screamed in excitement.

   "Yes my dear, I had gotten it a few days prior and I remembered how you had begun looking for them so I had posted this request in hopes that you would find it." The mayor laughed as Lucy spun in circles before holding the key out in front of her to study it. 

   "Oh my Stars, it's Hyrda! You don't happen to have some water around here somewhere do you?" Lucy asked in a rush, her body practically vibrating in excitement. 

   "Of course I do Lucy, please follow me." The mayor led the group outside and into a rather large garden. 

   The air smelled of flowers, many plants littered the ground and fences, giving the garden the privacy that Lucy needed to summon the large water beast. She rushed forward towards the small pond in the middle of the garden, watching for a moment as a few koi swam around before she dipped the key in the water and called forth the spirit. 

   "I am linked to the path to the world of Celestial Spirits, now! O spirit, answer my call and pass through the gate! Open, gate of the Water Beast, Hydra!" Lucy stepped back from the water, her key still clutched tightly in her hand as smoke spread across the pond. 

   "Greetings Princess." A deep voice called from within the fog, it's eyes standing out from within the smokescreen.
