The storm had been going a week, people were starting to get worried that something bad was coming. However, for some reason, you felt there was more to it than that as if the person causing it didn't really know it was their fault. Or, if they did they didn't really know how to stop it from happening. 

Not being the sharpest tool in the shed you couldn't link the timings and really didn't care either way, as you continue with your daily routines. Getting to the bar it was empty and the owner was beginning to worry, that if the storm didn't end soon it could be bad for business since his shipments were most likely delayed due to the choppy seas. 

Looking at the time, the door opened just as predicted the large figure with the lonely eyes walked in gracing you with a nod. Without a thought you poured him a drink, placing it on the bar at the same seat he occupied for a week. "(f/n), I'm going to go check with the dockmaster to see if there is any sign of the shipments coming in. Will you be alright on your own?" the oldish man commented as you nodded. 

"Sure thing, be careful the storm is bad." smiling kindly at your boss who looked down at your tiny self. 

"You're a sweetie!" he commented as you laughed, watching the owner leave into the storm to find an answer on the beers and wines he'd ordered, leaving you and the wanderer alone for the first time. 

"So...muscluar mysterious man, why were you following me the first night you were here?" it was the first time you'd questioned the guy on it, as you did want your boss to be alarmed. To your boss, you advised you were a basic magic-user. The man had a cock smirk on his lips, as he slides his empty glass to you. 

"Get yourself one beautiful, on me!" it was the first thing he had said since ordering a whiskey the day he arrived at the bar a week ago. Raising an eyebrow you got yourself a glass, since there weren't any other customers, your boss could do with the orders. Pouring two glass you slide his back to him, before resting on the bar, your cleavage in your uniform catching the blue eyes of the man in front of you. 

"So...you can say more than just whiskey," your comment was full of sass pushing all of the right buttons for the man in front of you. "So, do you have a name or do I just get to call you muscles? Plus, I know you're avoiding my question," voice dripping with sex appeal. 

"You're not like other women are you? I can tell and I like what I see," he smirked still avoiding the questions you asked. "How about when your boss comes back, I walk you back home and then we can get better acquainted?" taking a sip of his drink as you placed your own glass at your lips. 

The colour of your cheeks was rosy from the comments and the tension between the two of you. "Well, Muscle, you are right! I'm not like any other woman you've been with...meaning that shit doesn't fly with me." you shrug necking back your drink, trying to not let him see the burning of the liquid show on your face.  

"My you're feisty!" a roughish smile on his face as he necked his drink slamming the glass on the counter, not enough to smash it be it was loud at the same time a large angry bolt of lightning lit up the sky. "I'll cut the crap then. You're a dragon slayer right and from the looks of it, you don't have a mate." that made you look away pouring him a new drink, as well as yourself one. 

It was your silence that told him everything he needed to know since he also knew who his mate was but could most likely never see her again. "Hit the nail on the head?" he had a smug look on his face trying to hide his own anguish, as you eyed him furiously at him clearly working out your situation. 

"It's none of your concern." your voice sounding on the brink of anger mixed with despair as you chucked the drink down your throat. This time you allowed him to see that you weren't used to drinking, since who would you drink with. No family, no friend, not even a pet to keep you company. All you did was sleep, eat, work and then move onto the next place. Never staying in one place too long, should Natsu ever come to town. 

Lost in thought, you hadn't even sensed the man move as his large hand grabbed your chin making your eyes light a clear night sky stare into his blue ones, that looked like a clear sunny day. However, you could sense a storm behind them of anguish and regret. 

The hand was pulling your face forward towards the man's lips, and you let yourself be pulled towards him. Trying to push everything you were missing down inside of you, in the hope that this would take away that loneliness you were feeling if only for a day. 

Lips millimetres apart both your eyes closed it was as if time itself was moving slowly, as you both craved the touch and company of another person. Never knowing just how lonely you were. 

*Crash* Both your heads turned towards the door, as you boss came barreling through not noticing what he was disturbing. The poor man soaked to the bone, as you pulled yourself out the grasp of the disappointed looking blonde who glanced at you. Making you aware that this wasn't over. 

"Bloody storm is ridiculous...apparently no clue of when it will stop," he grumbled as you grabbed a bar towel, stepping from behind the bar walking over to the elderly man handing it to him. "Thank you, you're too kind," the man commented not noticing the awkwardness that he had stumbled back into. "Well, you may as well go home," he commented making you sigh. 

"Ok boss man." sounding defeated you head into the back to grab your stuff expecting the mysterious man to be gone, just like every other night. However, upon walking back out he was still there putting his cloak over his shoulders. Noticing you walk back in he had the cheekiest grin on his face, informing you that you wouldn't be walking home tonight alone.

"Right, see you tomorrow?" you question the owner who shakes his at you, a disappointed look on his face. Being insecure you feel you'd done something wrong, as you about to ask why he speaks out. 

"There is no point coming if the storm is still going. If it's not raining come in, if not stay at home keep warm." the man had a friendly smile as you nodded relieved you weren't being let go. The pay was good, and you'd quite the savings to possibly at some point settle down in the forest or mountains. Somewhere that the star could be clearly seen. 

"Ok, take care see you soon." you smile as you go to walk forward, the large man walks up to you making your boss look concerned for a moment. 

"Come on babe, you'll get wet let me keep you dry!" the blonde commented making you raise an eyebrow as he picks you up with ease, wrapping your tiny body within the cloak. "Oh here is thirty thousand jewels, and we will take that bottle of whiskey," he comments pointing at an unopened bottle. Since you didn't seem to be struggling against the man's touch, your boss assumed that you knew the man, as he happily passed the bottle of whiskey over before the two of you walked into the storm. 

Looking up into his face, you could tell the storm wasn't bothering him in the slightest. If anything you felt as if each time a bolt of lightning struck within the sea, that he relished in its power almost charging him somewhat.  Letting yourself be carried to either your house or where he was stopping, you could sense the dragon within him. As you both continued into the stormy night, to spend the night within each others company. 

Seeing your door, the man placed you on your feet sheltering from the rain. It was extremely gentleman like, as the door opened but as soon as your foot stepped through the threshold you were picked back up being carried into your living room and chucked upon the sofa. The look in your eyes was surprised as the large man smirked, stripping back his clothing that clung to his body showing you just how much muscle he had underneath his clothing. 

The two of you were staring into each other's eyes as you stood from the spot, and slowly began to remove the clothes that had still been drenched when he'd picked you up to bring you inside. The man was just wearing nothing boxers in no time, sitting on the sofa and leaning back with the whiskey in one hand. Watching you remove your clothes, revealing your curves that was sending the blood rushing to his member. 

The two of you so caught up in the moment, you forgot that this right now would be your first time. Hoping that this would make you forget about your mate! 

Standing there in the cold air of the house wearing nothing but a midnight blue lacy underwear set. The man before you, whose name you still didn't know licked his lips as if you were about to be the tastiest meal he'd had in a while. Playing to his desire to have you, your hips swayed your nerves starting to get to you, as you straddled the large man grabbing the bottle out of his hand and taking a massive swig before placing it on the side looking down to the man grinning at you. 

"You ready to forget about everything?" he whispered as you moved your lips to his nodding as you closed your eyes. Little sparks of electricity coming off the man's lips to yours, before the crash into one another hungrily seeking the need to be fulfilled by each other. 

Two lone stars in a large sky that were most likely never to meet, or make the other one happy. Both of you looking to settle with the fact, that maybe you could find happiest in the other. The man below was wasting no time in removing your bra with expertise, he was older than you, you knew that much and that he was experienced as he pulled away latching his fangs onto your breast sucking as if to mark you, but not going deep enough to mark you as his. 

As you straddled him your hips began to buck rubbing against his clearly well-endowed manhood, making tiny moans leave your lips, from the pressure against your clothed clit but from how he worked his way to your neck to the part that your mate should mark the first time you mate. 

Licking the spot a few times, you whimper at the feeling of his tongue but then images of Natsu's face flood into your mind, as you feeling fangs at the point of nearly breaking your skin, placing a mark that once placed, can never be removed. 

The only thought running through your mind is 'I can't do this...'
