Sorry about the delay work has been a little crazy. I hope you enjoy

I just own the story not the world of Fairy Tail

Lucy pulled up a seat near the rune mage and started working on the first book. There were several passing thoughts that these books may hold the key to the yin/yang thing. The two fairy tail mages worked quietly for several hours. The celestial mage felt proud of the amount of work that she was able to get done. The first book seemed to be about the personalities and quirks of the 88 keys, but there were a few mentions about it being more and that the holy number was 99. The thought that there were more keys was intriguing and Lucy wondered if Yukino's key Ophiuchus was one of them.

Looking at the clock, Lucy realized that it was already 5 and quietly packed up her belongings. Her brown eyes focused on her companion and waited to find a moment that she could interrupt him. "Freed?" Lucy lightly tapped on his shoulder, observing how lost in his work he seemed. She was expecting him to jerk or completely miss her trying to get his attention. What was not expected was the green haired man wrapping an arm around her waist, twisting her to fall into his lap.

Freed had enjoyed the day working in the library with Lucy. He had focused on the theory she had shared with him while she worked on translating the books. Every once in a while something brought his attention up and out of the world of print. When this happened, he took in the site of the curvy blonde and his thoughts would go decidedly dark. The taste of a kiss the night before made him want more. Thoughts of kisses, of dominating the spitfire woman and binding her to his bed were just keeping him on edge. So, he pushed them back for a later time and refocused on his research.

The rune mage found one book that was very interesting talking about complementary magics and balance. It was interesting and would discuss his thoughts over dinner with his partner. Freed could hear Lucy picking up her things as he finished where he currently was. Feeling the light tap on his shoulder, he quickly pulled the momentary stunned blonde onto his lap. His arms pulled quickly around her, he nuzzled his nose into the joint of her neck and lightly bit the soft skin. He could hear her soft moan and the beast inside nearly purred in happiness at her response. One of his hands glided up her back and pulled her soft hair, giving him more access to the soft skin.

With such a genteel pull Lucy could feel her body melting to the rune mages embrace. 'Mavis, I'm such a sucker for that.' Her mind fell blank as he leaned into her, pulling her into a kiss. Unlike the night before, this kiss was demanding and fired her from the inside out. The blond was lost in the moment as she was quickly dominated.

He gave her lips a quick nip and pulled back slowly, Lucy slowly blinked her brown eyes open to see a cunning smirk on the mages face. "Little one, are you ready for dinner?" His voice was deep and made her wish that he didn't stop kissing her. It had been far too long since she had felt lost in a moment like that. The blond was lost in her own thoughts as she looked at Freed. A lock of his green hair was wrapped in her fingers, her head was a mess, 'What was that? I want more of him. Is this just a passing thing for him? I haven't felt like this in a long time.'

A quick snap of pain brought the Celestial mage's attention back to the moment. Her brow puckered for a moment, "Did you just slap my ass?"

Freed grinned, "No Cheri. I spanked your ass. You were lost in that pretty little head of yours." She could feel his hand was still on her backside lightly rubbing where he spanked her. Pulling them to to their feet, "We can play more later, but I think that dinner is needed first." His voice was but a wiper in her ear giving her a shiver of pleasure. Nodding her agreement, Lucy and Freed grabbed their belongings and headed over to a local restaurant to have some dinner.
