Hello again, and here is another chapter. This story has had a ton more traffic for one day than any of my other stories, and so many fav/follows and reviews in that time. There is only one explanation for this. You all are a bunch of pervs. lol ;) Well, here is your reward.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
The next morning, Lucy awoke slowly. Her body felt languid, yet energized. She could feel Natsu's arms still wrapped tightly around her waist, but she blushed as she realized that one of his hands had drifted upwards sometime during the night and was now cupping one of her ample breasts firmly. After her initial surprise, she found herself leaning into it trying to recapture some of the incredible sensations from the previous night. She had never thought that such feelings could come from body parts that she never thought anything about. Other females in her tribe would sometimes grab one another's breasts as a joke or to compare sizes, but it didn't elicit the intense feelings she got from Natsu.
She moaned softly as the male behind her squeezed her breast reflexively in his sleep. She pressed her chest more firmly into his large, warm hand.
It felt wonderful, just as wonderful as the night before. The only downside was somehow a stick or something had made its way into the bedding between them and was poking her hard on her rear end. It was uncomfortable and distracting her from the breast rub. irritated, she wiggled her body to try and shift the stick so it would stop poking her.
No matter how much she squirmed, the poking didn't stop. In fact, it got worse, like the stick had gotten larger. She, of course, threw that thought out. Sticks didn't randomly change size.
She heard Natsu let out a deep and ragged groan. It startled her enough to make her stop moving.
Natsu found himself awakening fully when the female in his arms stopped moving against his sacred rod, which was also fully awake. He realized that he had a hand full of her breast, so it wasn't hard for him to figure out exactly why his sacred rod was up with him. What caught him off guard was the feeling electrifying his rod and spreading through his body from his female's movements against it. The sensation was different and amazingly better than how it felt to just touch her breasts.
He wondered if just him touching her was all there was to her ability to wake up his sacred rod. Maybe he should try to get her to touch him, too. His sacred rod certainly liked what she had unknowingly done so far. But females were scared of it. Lucy had specifically said that she was just as scared of it as the other females. He had no idea how to get her to want to touch it.
Natsu gave her breast a firm, purposeful squeeze.
"Good morning, Lucy."
He felt Lucy jump slightly before turning her face to his.
"Good morning, Natsu."
"Did ya sleep good? I sure did."
He was pleased to see his female return his smile.
"I slept well, thank you," she squirmed a little more, and Natsu briefly lost all thought as her movement directly stimulated his sacred rod. "But somehow a stick got in the bed with us, and it keeps poking me. It's not very comfortable."
"That's not a stick. That's just my sacred rod."
"Oh. Okay," Lucy stated calmly. Then she stiffened in his arms and launched herself from the bed of furs with an ear splitting screech, making Natsu wince in pain. She was on the other side of the hut before he could blink, huddling herself against the wall, shaking like a leaf.
Natsu was concerned. He didn't like to see her acting so terrified. It gave him a sick feeling in his gut even worse than going without food. His sacred rod did not seem to like it, either, and had gone back to sleep.
"Lucy? Are you okay?"
"It was touching me? That thing that even scared my tribe's strongest warriors? What did it want?"
Lucy was quickly devolving into senseless rambling, but Natsu understood what she was saying well enough.
"I don't know what it wanted. It was already awake when I woke up." Natsu made his way over to his trembling female, ignoring her flinch at his presence, and placed a comforting hand on her head. "I already told you that I'm not gonna hurt ya. That includes my sacred rod." He could see that he was getting through to her when she started to calm down and met his eyes. It made him happy to see her calm so quickly in his presence.
"So, you don't know why it was awake?" He was proud of how steady her voice was despite her earlier fear. She didn't immediately run away like a spooked deer. His female was clearly tougher than the rest of the female tribe, and he was thrilled that he had caught the best one for himself.
"The most likely reason is because I had my hand on you again," He could see her nodding in understanding. "But I think there was more to it than that this time." Her confused expression pushed him on to explain his theory. "When you were moving around and rubbing against it, it felt good. Really good. My sacred rod liked the way it felt, and so did I."
Lucy's face clearly displayed the even mix of curiosity and trepidation running through her at that moment.
"So that feels for you like having my breasts touched feels for me?"
Natsu smiled. He was happy that she understood what he meant.
"Yeah! My sacred rod liked that even more than touching you," Natsu scratched his chin as he became a little nervous. He had no clue how she was going to react to what he was about to say next. "I thought that we could try you touching me, too. I can touch your chest, and you can touch my sacred rod."
Lucy looked more afraid than before. Natsu didn't like that. She should never be afraid of him.
"But it's like a monster, isn't it? I didn't see it since I was on the ground behind you at the time, but it had to be bad if the expressions on my tribe's faces says anything."
Natsu smiled at her reassuringly. He needed her to understand that he would never hurt her even more than he wanted her touch. He didn't want her to be scared enough to try to leave him.
"There's nothing to be scared of. I honestly don't get why the female tribe got scared enough to turn tail like that, even though I'm glad they did. A sacred rod might be wrathful, although I've never had it happen to me like it did the other males, its wrath only hurts the male it belongs to. You saw it for yourself when I first brought you to the village. When each male went down, did it harm you?"
He could see Lucy's mind working over the information. If there was one thing he had discovered about her in the time that she had been with him, it was that she was surprisingly smart. Even if he didn't know much about the other females individually, he knew that there couldn't be many of them that were as smart as his female. The only problem was that she had a horrible habit of overthinking things. Even small things. It could take her whole minutes to decide on something! For Natsu, thinking for that long was overrated. He liked to just go for it.
"Well," Lucy said slowly. "I can't argue with you on that. But still, can we take it a little slower than that? I mean, I haven't even seen what it looks like. I don't know if I could handle it."
"That's easy to fix!" And Natsu promptly dropped the fur wrap that covered his waist to the dirt floor, leaving his lower half completely bare.
Lucy screamed and leapt across the small hut to bury herself beneath the soft pelts of their bedding. In hindsight, Natsu should have expected that kind of reaction from his female. But as previously stated, he wasn't the best at thinking before acting, nor did he have any desire to be.
"What the hell, Lucy?" He just didn't understand how she could be so high-strung and weird. "Didn't I just get through telling you how it can't hurt you? And you were the one that said you couldn't think about touching it without seeing it first."
"You can't do things like that so suddenly," her muffled voice grumbled from beneath the pile of furs.
"What? Get naked? It's not that big a deal." He rolled his eyes at her behavior. He would never understand some of her reactions.
The pile began to slowly move, and a minute later, his favorite head of sunshine colored hair peeked out from under the edge. She kept her eyes down as she stood up to her unimpressive full height.
"...Are you sure it can't do anything?" A large part of her couldn't forget the fear on the faces of her tribe at the sight of Natsu's sacred rod.
"Of course, you weirdo. Don't you trust me?"
Lucy smiled. The answer was obvious.
"I trust you." And she lifted her gaze slowly. First to his feet. She hadn't noticed, but they were so much bigger and blockier than her own. Then up his legs. They showed so much more muscling than hers did. They looked strong, but she guessed that they were since he was such a good hunter. Then she finally laid her eyes on what lay between his legs.
"...That's it?"
Natsu's offended face would have made her nearly die of laughter in any other situation.
"What do you mean by that?!"
Lucy helplessly gestured towards the soft and floppy things between his legs. The one in the middle was straight while the two other things on either sound were round and in a bag of his own skin, dusted with a little bit of his bright pink hair. It all looked more gross than scary.
"I mean, look at it. You're right. It isn't scary at all. Something that small and soft couldn't possibly hurt anyone. I expected something a lot bigger with the way Erza reacted."
She didn't expect the anger on Natsu's face. He had never directed that towards her before.
"Well, Erza saw it when it was woke up. This is what a sacred rod looks like when it's asleep. It gets bigger and stands up when it's awake. You should know that since you were complaining about it poking you earlier." He looked towards the door before turning his angry gaze back to her. "I'm going to go hunting. I'll see you around later. That is...if my sacred rod isn't too tiny for you to want me around."
He pulled his wrap back on, securely fastened it to his waist, and stormed out of the door without another word, leaving Lucy standing stunned at what had just happened.
Meanwhile, Natsu drew attention from the other males in the village as he stalked through on his way to go hunting. He knew what was going through their minds. They were surprised to see him so quiet and angry. They were probably curious about what had happened to put him in such a bad mood, but they would just have to do without an answer. He didn't feel like talking about it, and he didn't feel like enduring the humiliation of having his sacred rod insulted so badly.
In the male village, your sacred rod was a part of your honor. It was important to every male. That's why Natsu was so horrified at the fact that Lucy didn't have one at all. He would rather die than be without his. It was even worse when he learned from her that none of the females had ever had one. He couldn't see how they lived without one. How did they even manage to take a piss?
The insult from Lucy hurt. It hurt a lot worse than he thought such an insult could hurt. Probably because her opinion of him mattered, and he had been proud to show her his sacred rod.
Back at the hut, Lucy was fretting over what had happened. She realized that she had upset Natsu somehow, but she didn't understand why what she said had garnered such a reaction. Shouldn't he be happy that she wasn't scared of it anymore?
The day dragged on, and Lucy began to worry as the sky started turning dark. When she looked through the large hide that served as a door and saw stars dotting the sky, her worry grew exponentially.
Lucy's stomach growled, reminding her that she had become far too accustomed to eating every day since she had been with Natsu. She ignored it as best she could, keeping her eyes peeled on the door, praying to the gods that Natsu would stride back through it with his usual grin on his face.
Finally, when it had been completely dark for quite a while, Natsu stalked back into the hut, arms loaded down with prey, all of it already cleaned, skinned, and ready to cook. It was stunning just how much he could carry at one time. It was clear that his muscles were not just for show.
As he made Igni in the pit in the center of the hut, Lucy tried to break the awkward silence. Her words must have been worse than she thought if he was still so upset.
"So, where's Happy?"
"Fishing." The reply was curt. Nothing like his usual warm drawl. She felt tears begin to prick her eyes.
"Natsu?" He glanced back up to her and was visibly startled by the tears pooling in her eyes. "I'm so sorry. I don't understand what I did to hurt you, but please know that I didn't mean to."
The tension in the male's shoulders bled out with a sigh. Natsu got up and went over to her without saying a word. Lucy was surprised when he pulled her into his warm arms.
"I'm sorry for being so cold to you."
"Will you tell me why?" Lucy asked softly.
Natsu let go of her and went back to work getting everything set up for her to cook their extra late dinner.
"For males, our sacred rod means a lot to us. It's never fun if someone makes fun of it, but it's really bad when the insult comes from someone we care about."
"How did I insult it?" She paused for a moment. "Wait... You care about me?"
Natsu gave her a glance like she had said something stupid.
"Well, yeah, you weirdo. Of course I care about you. I wouldn't of been so mad at what you said if I didn't." He took a breath. "I was upset because you called it little. That's the biggest insult you can give a male about his sacred rod."
Lucy felt like it was a bit of a ridiculous thing to feel so insulted by, but then she remembered her good friend, Levy. Levy had so many issues with her breasts. Their small size made her feel so self conscious, and it was easy to get her upset if someone reminded her about it. So, maybe Natsu's self-consciousness about the size of his sacred rod was more understandable than she thought.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. It's not like you said that after seeing it full size."
"Full size?"
"Yeah. Don't you remember me mentioning it before I left this morning?" Lucy simply shook her head. "Well, depending on if a sacred rod is asleep or not, it can be small and soft or big and hard. The Master told me the other day it was because it would be too hard to walk around or hunt if it stayed it's true size all the time."
"That's actually very interesting. I have a friend back home that likes learning new things. She would love to hear this one day."
Natsu held his tongue at her words of her former life. He would make sure that she stayed with him, and she would like it. She didn't even realize how many times he had caught her comparing her old home and her new home, and finding her old home lacking.
"When I touch you is when mine likes to wake up."
He saw her bite her lip and couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking. He didn't have to wait long.
"Can I see it when it's awake?"
"Sure." Natsu didn't have to think about his reply for even a second. "Can I touch you to wake it up?"
Lucy gulped and nodded her head.
Natsu stood up and once again let the furs covering his lower half fall from his body. He was more slow and deliberate about it, so Lucy could have a chance to adjust. She appreciated it.
What greeted her was the same as before. A straight thing and two round things. All of it much smaller than she originally expected, and certainly much less frightening.
Natsu sat down beside her closely enough that she could feel his warmth.
"Can you take your top off? You seemed to like it more when I touched bare skin."
Lucy nodded and carefully removed her top and set it aside next to the fur bed. She felt vulnerable, but since she was with Natsu, it felt okay.
Without any further words, Natsu immediately latched his hands onto the voluminous breasts of his female. He wasted no time getting to work gently digging his fingers into the tender flesh, caressing and plumping them. He found that he enjoyed looking at them uncovered almost as much as touching them. From the sounds Lucy had already started making, she was enjoying it even more than him.
But that didn't mean none of it was effecting him. He could feel his sacred rod waking back up. It seemed to happen faster this time than other times. By the time he had worked his way up to pinching and tweaking Lucy's nipples, his sacred rod was standing proudly unhindered by clothing, and harder than it had ever been before. It was to a point that he could feel his heartbeat from it even easier than through his chest. His idea that it would hurt less the more he woke it up didn't seem to be panning out.
Lucy felt so good. Natsu's rough, warm hands and their more sure motions on her breasts were making her feel even better than she had the previous night. The firm squeezes and flicks to her nipples were causing an unfamiliar warmth to begin pooling in the bottom of her belly. She managed to gather enough of her thoughts to remember that she was supposed to be looking at Natsu's sacred rod to see what it was like when it was awake. She managed to fight the onslaught of pleasure to pry her eyes open and look down at his naked lap.
Her first thought was that her male had certainly not been kidding when he said it changed. It was significantly bigger than before, stood straight up, and lived up to the 'rod' part of it's name. It was easy for her to see why her tribe sisters had been so afraid of it.
"It's so big now!"
Natsu's answering grin made her happy, but the haze that his touch sent her into made it hard for her to do anything except moan a little more.
In fact, the haze seemed to have turned off her natural inner caution which made her curiosity come forth unfettered. She wanted to touch that sacred rod. She wanted to see if it was as hard as it looked. She wanted to see if it would make Natsu feel as good as she was feeling, just like he thought it would.
"Can I touch it?" she asked breathlessly.
Natsu enthusiastically nodded his head, and Lucy moved a little closer, the male's hands remaining firmly attached to her breasts.
When her tentative hand stroked his sacred rod for the first time, Natsu felt like the gods had just called him home to paradise. It was the most amazing and indescribable feeling he had ever had. It was better than the most delicious of Lucy's cooking. He couldn't help the low groan that escaped his mouth. His pleasured utterance seemed to embolden Lucy's hand, and before either of them knew it, she had a firm grasp on his rod and was stroking it faster and faster. He was soon nothing but a moaning mess, and that seemed to spur his female on.
Natsu felt like the sensations coursing through his body were building up. They kept taking him higher and higher. At some point, he had to let go of Lucy's breasts because he was afraid of how little control he had over his strength in that moment.
In an instant, the wave that had been building reached its crest, and Natsu felt the world go white.
Lucy found that she enjoyed touching him much more than she thought she would. While the sacred rod was very hard and hot to the touch, the skin was soft and smooth. The clashing textures were interesting, and she liked the way they felt together. She could see and trace veins in it, which showed her clearly that this thing was just a part of Natsu. She couldn't be afraid of a part of Natsu.
There was also a feeling of power. She knew she wasn't anywhere near as physically strong as her male, but here she was turning him into a helpless, moaning mess. She loved the feeling of causing him to be like that.
It didn't take very long before she noticed that his sounds had changed in tone. They became more frantic, so she matched the pace of her strokes. Faster and faster until he suddenly tensed up, every muscle showing in clear definition, and strings of thick, white liquid spewed from the little hole in the end of his sacred rod. It took her by surprise, and made her jerk her hand back.
Natsu sat back panting like he had run for miles straight uphill. That had been the most energy draining thing that had ever happened to him.
He looked over at Lucy and gave her a big, tired grin.
"We are definitely doing that again."
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
And here is the end to another chapter. I'm no longer completely sure how long this will be. I had intended to be farther into the plot at this point, but the word count was running away from me. So we actually got into a bitt of smut this time. How is it?
Merry Christmas
