Lucy hadn't seen Gray for two weeks. She did learn that he was the heir to the wealthy Fullbuster family. His family unfortunately was a rival to her own. She became even more hesitant to admit to her father that he had been the one to save her. She wasn't even sure if she would ever see him again, and she couldn't tell if she wanted to see him again. Then one night as she wondered about the grounds of her estate when she was pulled into the shrubbery by unseen hands.
"Owie," she said as she landed on her butt on the other side of the plant. She looked up to see Gray smiling down at her.
"Gray! What are you-" he covered her mouth with his hand to silence her.
"Shhh, not so loud. I had to see you again," he said in a soft whisper.
"Why? Where have you been?" she asked in a fierce whisper.
"I don't know, I missed you I guess. I've been at home and it is kind of hard to get away from my parents, so I could only come and see you when I got the chance," he replied.
She nods reluctantly, "yeah, I understand. Let's go somewhere so we can talk."
She stood up and grabbed his hand. She pulled him to a place just out of sight of the servants and guards on the estate. When they stopped Gray took in the sight of a small pond that sat on Lucy's land. She sat on one of the rocks to avoid getting her skirt get anymore dirt on it and Gray joined her. After a long silence Lucy finally spoke up. "Why didn't you tell me who you were?" she asked.
"Well, to be honest I didn't think it mattered, and I also knew if I told you then you wouldn't want to talk," he replied.
She nods and went quiet again. To her his reason was too good, too perfect. She didn't think it was a lie, but she wanted a reason to be angry with him. She wanted to feel like he lied to her. Or like he was keeping secrets, withholding the truth. Unfortunately his reason was extremely plausible so she couldn't be angry at him. She was so lost in thought that when Gray stood up she jumped back and stared in surprise as he began removing his shirt.
Lucy blushed madly while Gray smiled, "I have an idea." She looked up at him, cheeks burning a brilliant crimson. "What would that be?" she asked. He gave a mischievous grin. "Let's go skinny dipping," he said and her blush deepened. "What?! No!"
"Come on be more spontaneous, live a little," he said still undressing. Her eyes fell to his hands as he began to undo his pants and soon they fell to the ground. She couldn't keep herself from watching as his boxers soon followed. He began walking into the pond until he was waist deep before turning to look at her expectantly. She sighed as she stood and took off her shirt slowly, but not to be sexy or a tease. She removed her skirt next before moving to the clasp on her bra. She slowly undoes the clasp and lets the lacy fabric fall from her arms. Then her hands finally made it to the hem of her panties and she hesitated before finally letting them slip down past her legs and to the ground.
She began to walk into the water and stood next to him. "Now what?" she asked him. He splashed her and took off as she stood there completely bewildered that he had done that. Then she went after him and started a splash war. They laughed as the fight lasted for sometime until the found a place they could relax in the water. It was as they sat in silence that he leaned over and kissed her. This time the kiss was more heated than before and escalated quickly. She had her arms wrapped around him as he had her legs wrapped around his waist. They spent the next few hours enjoying each other's embrace and showing each other different ways to please one another. When the moon was high in the sky they both got dressed and said their goodbyes before Lucy's guards came searching for her. She left feeling happy and for once whole.
