Chapter 16

Lucy sighed as the group finally stepped into the main hall of Fairy Tail, and smiled as everyone cheered as Natsu gave a laugh and waved. He looked idiotic, covered in bruises and hanging off of Gajeel's shoulder like a sack of potatoes with Happy smiling on his head, but still smiling as if nothing bad had happened.

"Natsu, thank Mavis you are alright." Lisanna called, dashing to his side as Gajeel lowered him to his feet. The youngest Strauss sibling looped her arm around him and started to lead him to their medical room. She smiled as the others clapped him on the back and welcomed him back while the rest of them headed for the bar, where Makarov was waiting.

"I've already heard from Doranbolt. Good job everyone. Lucy, Yukino, and Rogue. Are you three alright?" He asked, and she nodded along with the others.

"A few scrapes and bruises but nothing terrible." She stated, watching as the old man smiled and then glanced at the steps that Lisanna had taken Natsu up.

"Go on Master. He is one of your children after all." Erza stated, he huffed but hopped down and dashed up the steps to check up on Natsu. Lucy smiled and then looked around, not surprised to see that drinks had been passed around and everyone was celebrating Natsu's return. She then glanced over at Sting, standing alone in a corner watching the celebration and every now and again his eyes would stray toward her. Inhaling, she braced herself and started toward him.

"Sting. Follow me and we can talk in private." She stated, then turned and headed for the door with him on her heels. They walked in silence all the way to her apartment, and the silence nearly became overbearing as they finally entered and stood staring at one another. It was Sting who first broke the silence between them.

"I'm sorry I was such an ass." He stated, causing her to cross her arms and raise an eyebrow at him. Watching as he rubbed a hand through his hand and looked away with a frustrated look. It was obvious that he wasn't use to displaying this kind of apology or emotion.

"I got out of line and tried to control you merely because you were my mate, and I shouldn't have done that. You still have your life to live, and I shouldn't expect you to just up and leave it because of me. So, if you decide to stay with Fairy Tail, then I promise I will try and make it work between us and visit you every day. Sabertooth will become the number one backing for Fairy Tail, and help all we can. Please Lucy, I don't want to lose you." He stated, grasping her hands between his and looked deep into her eyes.

She stared at him for a moment, making sure to keep quiet just to let him squirm a little. She knew that she would be forgiving him, but was still miffed enough to make him sweat about her answer. As she watched the desperation grow in his eyes, she finally sighed and butted his chin with her head.

"I forgive you Sting, and I wasn't about to let things end between us like that anyway. Also, you don't have to go so far either, I'm sure we can figure something out so we can still be close enough to each other." She stated, smiling when he wrapped her in a hug and held on tight. His hand rubbing slowly up and down her back as he pressed kisses to her head and temple.

"I think I might have an idea for that, but I'll explain later. Right now, I just want to keep you close and make sure that you truly are alright. That woman was insane and I know she managed a few hits on you." He grumbled, causing her to laugh and shake her head.

"No worries, I was able to dodge most of her attacks. My life is in no danger, I promise." She stated, giggling when he leaned down and nipped at her shoulder before soothing the place with a lap of his tongue. A soft moan slid from her lips and she turned her face toward him, giving him a small smile before he smirked and pressed his lips gently to hers. Breaking away a moment later, and nuzzled his nose against hers.

"Damn woman, what you do to me." He growled, pressing another kiss to her only this one was much more fierce and filled with his passion for her. She melted into the kiss, her hands sliding up his arms and tightening on his shoulders as his tongue slid between her lips and explored her mouth.

By the time he pulled back again, she was a trembling mess and could only stare at him as he smiled down at her. Pressing small loving kisses on every part of her face that he could reach, only to move back to her lips and start the process over again. She arched into him this time, groaning as one of his hands slid low and started massaging her backside, pressing her closer to him so she could feel his excitement.

He removed his lips from hers and nibbled her jawline before blowing ever so softly into her ear.

"I want you Lucy." He growled, causing a shiver to shoot through her and her thighs to press together tightly. He hadn't even touched his mark yet, and already she wanted him this badly.

"Please." She whispered, before his hand slid back up her back, this time under her shirt. He kept his mouth busy by kissing and sucking lightly at her exposed collar bone, and she knew that their would be faint marks where he sucked.

She shivered when he pulled away and removed her shirt completely, the peaks of her breasts tightening as the cold air hit them. She whimpered as he automatically latched onto one with his mouth, his hand toying with the other, and gave a surprised yelp when his free hand slid up under her skirt, pressing into her center through her underwear.

She felt his smirk on her skin, and could only shiver as he started to rub her as he suckled her breast. She tangled her fingers into his hair, biting her bottom lip as she tried to remain on her feet as he tortured her, but whimpered as he started to rub harder and her legs began to tremble.

"Sting." She whimpered, and was glad that he seemed to get the message. He removed his fingers, making her give a disapproving groan, and quickly picked her up only to settle her in the bed. He leaned over her, pressing another kiss to her lips as his fingers went back to what they were doing. Now with something to support her, and something to use as leverage, she moved her hips into his fingers as they kissed.

"So beautiful." He murmured against her lips before pulling away and undressing before her. Just like last time, her mouth went dry as he stripped before her and her pleasure increased even more as she saw all of him. She groaned when he moved between her legs, a smirk on his lips as he saw her want, but she could only groan as his fingers continued the sweet torture.

She was aware of him stopping long enough to remove her skirt and underwear, and then he was hovering over her, his head leaning down toward her shoulder. She shivered at how sensitive she was from his teasing, and bit her bottom lip as he nipped the area around his mark, his member brushing against her folds.

"Sting...Please." She whimpered, and that was all it took. He thrust into her at the same time he bit down on his mark. Her body arched off the bed, allowing him to wrap his arms around her back and give a few thrusts into her as she rode through her first climax. Her body felt as if it was on fire, and all she could do was hold onto Sting and gasp through the pleasure coursing through her.

He stilled within her as she finally started to come down from her high, her breathing shallow gasps. When she finally met his gaze, it was full of love and desire, and then he started moving. A moan escaped her as he sat a slow rhythm for them, her area sensitive from before and soon another orgasm was building within her. Sting seemed to have sensed it, as he started a faster pace and started to nip at his mark again. She became a shifting mass of pleasure as she moved her hips to meet his thrusts, and soon her body began to tighten.

"S...Sting." She called out as he once again bit into his mark and stilled within her. She gasped as her body jerked beneath him, and held on as he gave a few sharp thrusts to help her ride out her climax.

She shivered as he carefully pulled out of her, and then gave a satisfied murmur as he eased down beside her on the bed. He pulled her into his arms and pressed a loving kiss to her forehead.

"Get some sleep Lucy, starting tomorrow, there are going to be a few changes, but they will all be for the better." He whispered, pulling her tighter against him as she snuggled closer. She gave a soft hum as her answer, and before she knew it fell asleep in his arms.
