Chapter Three: Inventory
Natsu had to keep himself from clutching his hand into a fist, worried he would wrinkle the envelope he carried in with him. His motion sickness was nothing compared to the queasy feeling he got when he entered the elevator, staring down at his hand.
As he moved upwards, Natsu slide his finger under the envelope's flap, tugging at it to rip the paper. The elevator stopped on his floor just as he finished tearing the flap, but he was too nervous to look inside yet. He went to his desk, thankful Lucy's door was closed so he wouldn't have to see her yet.
He sat down, checking his desk phone to see if there were any messages for Lucy. While he wrote them down, he kept peeking over at the envelope, the thing mocking him for being a coward.
When he finished with his phone, he grabbed the stupid envelope, jerking the paper out so he could read it. He didn't think he had any STDs, but thinking something and knowing were two different things, and Natsu didn't know if he wanted to know.
He read over the different diseases they tested for, tension building in his shoulders as his eyes flitted up and down. Next to every one of them was a single word.
NEGATIVE
Natsu breathed a sigh of relief, but that feeling was short-lived. He had proof he was clean, which meant a physical relationship between him and Lucy could start. He had thought long and hard about if he really wanted a relationship like that. It would be close to a friends with benefits, but more complicated. He didn't know how he was supposed to feel, but he knew what he did feel.
Nervous.
Incredibly nervous.
The idea of having sex with someone's wife was weird, but the idea of having sex with Lucy made him flood with heat and arousal. He wanted her, but he didn't know how this whole thing would play out. How long would it last? Was he supposed to do some things boyfriends do but not others? Would she get mad if he complimented her appearance? What would she do if he decided to give her a random hug or kiss? Where was the line between physical and romance? He could easily see those lines blurring if he wasn't careful, but once again, Natsu was left wondering how careful he needed to be.
'Lucy's done this before. She'll help me figure it out, right? She doesn't want me to break the rules either, so I'm sure she'd tell me if I was doing something wrong.' Natsu frowned, realizing Lucy wouldn't warn him. She would probably just break up with him, because in a way, Natsu was expendable.
He had to remember that she was the same way to him. He was free to leave the relationship whenever he didn't want it anymore, no strings attached. She was expendable to him since he couldn't be with her long-term. Whatever they had would be temporary, but that didn't mean he couldn't enjoy it while it lasted.
'I do really want to have sex with her,' he thought, remember all the times he fantasized about doing just that. 'But I don't want her thinking I want her only for her body... Or do I? I guess I should, huh? She only wants me for my body. Wow, that sounds really fucking weird. Lucy wants me for my body.' He laughed, finding that funny.
Realizing he was blowing this out of proportion, Natsu stood, taking a deep breath before he went to Lucy's office. He knocked on the door, heart pounding when he heard her voice for the first time that day.
"Come in."
When Natsu entered, he saw Lucy sitting at her desk. She peeked up from her computer for a second before her eyes flitted back to the screen. "Oh, hey. Glad you're here. I need you to do something for me."
Seeing as Natsu was her assistant, he agreed. "Sure, what is it?"
She rifled through the stuff on her desk until she pulled out a clipboard, a stack of papers attached to it. "I know this isn't your job, but I really need help." She waited until Natsu nodded before continuing. "I need you to do an inventory check. The big one is coming up next month, and I want to see how we're doing."
"I'm doing all the inventory?" Natsu asked, his shoulders falling. The distribution center was huge, with multiple rooms filled with merchandise. He didn't think it was possible for him to get it all done today, even if he skipped lunch and stayed late.
Lucy shook her head, handing him the clipboard. "Just three sections. One's in the office for our supplies, so that shouldn't take you too long. The other two are downstairs. The room numbers are on the pages. Just go through and see what we have and if there's any discrepancies. There's three other people doing the rest, but Nab, the guy who was supposed to do those," she pointed at the clipboard, "called out."
She sighed, brushing her bangs out of her face. "I'm not going to lie. It's probably going to take you a while."
Natsu nodded, seeing Lucy needed his help. "That's okay. I'll get started now." He was about to turn and leave, but stopped when he felt that paper in his hand, the one with his test results.
"Oh, umm. I didn't know how to give you this." He handed the paper to Lucy, her brows furrowing as she met his gaze.
"What's this?"
"My uh..." He lowered his voice so no one else could overhear. "My results."
Lucy's eyes widened as she looked down at the folded paper. "Oh, yeah? How'd you do?"
"I'm clean," he said, his words making Lucy smile.
"Great. I'll talk to Gray. Thank you for getting this done."
Natsu gulped, nodding as he turned away. "No problem. I'll uh, I'll get on this." He left her office, grabbing the empty envelope from his desk before heading to the room with the industrial shredder. After destroying the evidence that he went to a clinic to get checked up, he went to the supply closet, deciding to knock it out first since it was the smallest.
Natsu realized doing inventory was going to take up his whole day when it took him thirty minutes to check the supplies for the office. He went downstairs, entering the first room of merchandise. It was easily ten times as big as the supply closet upstairs.
He got to work, going through each shelf to count the items. Despite not doing anything too physical, Natsu felt his body warming up. He forgot how hot it was downstairs, the office having better air conditioners. Though, the air conditioners weren't on since it was almost winter, but that thought didn't help Natsu cool down.
Not letting that get to him, he continued his task, happy when he got the first room done, even if it took him hours to do it. When Natsu entered the second room, he paled. Not only was it bigger, there was a huge difference between the two rooms. It didn't take him long to figure out the second room's heater was turned way too high, the air hot and stuffy.
He tried turning it off, but nothing he did made the damn thing stop pushing out hot air. Knowing he had to get done with his inventory, Natsu kept counting and checking off items, hoping to finish as soon as possible so he could leave the sweltering room.
He was halfway through when he had to take his button up shirt off, tossing it on one of the shelves. It was too hot, sweat making his tank top cling to his skin. He swore he didn't burn up that much even when he exercised. He definitely wouldn't bother hitting the gym after work, not wanting to sweat again later.
Luckily for the company, the products in that hot room weren't perishable and able to withstand the heat. He kept going, finding a few discrepancies, but there wasn't anything too ridiculous. He hoped the time would go by faster by playing his music out loud, the device resting by his shirt. The thought of disturbing someone with his music crossed his mind, but he was at the far end of the warehouse. He doubted anyone could hear.
"Oh my gosh," a familiar voice said, causing Natsu to jolt. He whirled around, seeing Lucy standing in the doorway, fanning herself. "Why is it so hot in here?"
Natsu chuckled as he pointed at the vent on the ceiling. "The heater's stuck on. I tried turning it off but it didn't work."
Lucy sighed, shaking her head as she looked up. "I'll have to call someone about that."
She turned, walking outside of the room for a moment. Natsu's eyes widened when he heard the loud heater above him dwindle down until it cut out, the hot air disappearing with it. He looked down just in time to see Lucy stepping back into the room, his curious glance prompting her to answer his unspoken question.
"Override key," Lucy explained, holding out a set of keys before stuffing them in her pocket. "You need it to change the temperature. It should start blowing cool air in a second."
Natsu nodded, hoping she was right. He needed a breath of fresh air, but he didn't move a muscle when he noticed Lucy's eyes fell, landing on him. She looked over his body, eyes lingering on his chest. He knew she could see how sweaty he was, as well as unprofessional. He flushed, but he didn't know if it was from the heat in the room or out of embarrassment. "Sorry. It's hot in here."
Natsu's skin grew hotter when Lucy wet her lips. "It certainly is."
He raised a brow when Lucy turned, closing and locking the door behind her. She had to use her one of her master keys, the doors normally staying unlocked for anyone to access them.
Slipping out of her high heels caused her to lose two inches in height, but she didn't seem to mind as she sauntered over towards Natsu, hands resting on his biceps when she stopped in front of him. He didn't say a word as she trailed her hands up his arms, wrapping them around his neck before pulling him in for a kiss.
Natsu jerked back, surprising both of them. "I-I thought you wanted to keep it professional at work."
She hummed before leaning in, dragging her tongue over his bottom lip. He shuddered against her, hands gripping her hips. His cock started twitching to life, finding her body stunning, even if she covered it with her business attire.
"I was wrong," she whispered, lips brushing against his. "I think I want to," her hand ran down his body until she reached his pants, giving his hardening member a squeeze, "explore the option. How about you?"
Natsu didn't respond with words, pressing his lips against hers before thrusting his tongue into her mouth. He groaned when she stopped touching his crotch, but he enjoyed the way she splayed her hand against his chest, tugging at his sweaty tank top.
"Off," she mumbled when she took a breath of air, her lips returning to his a second later.
Natsu hated letting go of Lucy's curvy body, but he wanted to make her happy, and honestly, he had been debating taking off his tank top for the past twenty minutes anyway. They separated long enough for him to pull it off, his hair falling against his damp forehead from the action.
That drove Lucy crazy, her fingers weaving into his pink locks, tugging and fisting to earn a growl from her boyfriend. Natsu's cock hardened as he thought about his title. Though it was strange, being in the moment let Natsu see the benefits of this relationship. He was free to fuck Lucy without worrying about impressing her. He didn't have to jump through hoops to get the physical benefits of a relationship. She was the one who paved the way, practically dragging him down that road by his cock.
He didn't care how they ended up in the moment, Natsu was enjoying it, especially since he knew he was going to get some type of pleasure from this. If she changed her mind and said she didn't want to do it, he would respect her decision, but unless she did that, he was going to ravish her any way he saw fit, starting with biting at her lower lips as his hands gripped her hips again.
Lucy moaned into his mouth, her tongue massaging his as their saliva mixed. She tasted like cherries and lime, making him grin against her lips when he realized what she ate for lunch today. He enjoyed the flavor, tongue wild as he licked at her mouth. It spurred Lucy on, her nails scraping against his scalp as she whimpered, pressing her chest against his.
The sudden realization that Lucy had more to her than just her lips and hips stunned him for a moment, but he recovered like a champ. His hands slid up, fumbling with the buttons of her jacket. He tore away from her lips so he could watch the jacket fall, eyeing her breasts that strained against her button up. He knew her clothes normally fit her perfectly, but he suspected she was purposely jutting out her chest to give him a better look. Either way, he liked what he saw.
"How far can I go?" Natsu asked, fingers twitching by his side as Lucy pulled him closer.
There was no hesitation in her voice, only confidence that made his blood roar. "I want you to fuck me."
Natsu couldn't swallow, Lucy's tongue in his mouth a second later. It was raw passion, and he loved it. The fire between them spreading faster than he ever imagined. He removed her buttons one at a time, reminding himself not to rip the shirt open, even though that thought was tempting.
Once her shirt was off, Natsu palmed her breasts, feeling the soft material of her bra. He didn't have to try hard to find her nipples, the small buds hard and begging for attention, which he kindly gave.
Lucy gasped when he ripped himself away from her mouth, his lips sealing over her nipple, wetting her bra in the process. Lucy held his head in place, moaning when he started sucking.
"Can't, take this," she panted, hands releasing his hand so she could undo the clasp of her bra, forcing Natsu's face away long enough to remove the offending clothing.
"Fucking hell," Natsu muttered, hands cupping the outsides of her large breasts to give them a squeeze, his heart racing when some of her flesh spilled between his fingers. "Your tits are amazing."
Lucy's neck and chest lit up with a flush at his crude words, but Natsu didn't get a good look, too busy leaning in to take one of her pert nipples in his mouth, his hand massaging its twin so it wasn't left neglected.
"Oh god!" Lucy moaned, biting at her lower lip to suppress her sounds. "Yes!"
Natsu's sucked on her nipple, his teeth lightly teasing her, causing her to shudder with pleasure. He pinched her other nipple, earning a choked gasp from his girlfriend.
'Girlfriend.' The word sparked desire in him, wanting her to come undone from his doing.
He bit around her areola, leaving teeth indents, but not breaking her sensitive skin. Moving upwards an inch, Natsu reattached his teeth to the swell of her breast, sucking and licking to leave a bruising mark on her skin. Lucy cried out, muffling her sounds by holding her hand over her mouth, but Natsu heard her loud and clear.
It took more willpower than it should have not to say what was on his mind, knowing it wouldn't be a good move, especially since this was their first time together. So, instead of saying it out loud, Natsu thought it.
'Mine!'
He thrust against her, wishing they had less clothing in the way so he could feel her directly. He continued to lick over her breast, then ventured up to trail his tongue over her collarbone, then neck. He didn't leave any marks there, knowing she wouldn't be able to cover them up.
His hand abandoned her other breast to fall between her legs, frowning when he couldn't give her much stimulation with her pencil skirt blocking his path. Pulling away, Natsu's fingers grabbed at her, turning her until he found the zipper to her skirt. Lucy helped him shimmy it off her body, his mouth watering when he saw her wearing pantyhose over a red thong.
Natsu didn't try to stop himself as he rubbed over her panties, feeling heat and moisture already gathering. "Fuck," he mumbled, pressing his lips to her ear, breathing against her. "Do you like this, Lucy?"
She whimpered before nodding, gasping when he prodded at her covered slit. "Yes," she moaned, the sound needy, making his cock throb in his pants.
"How much do these things cost anyways?"
Lucy furrowed her brows at the odd question, tilting her head back when Natsu found her clit, rubbing her panties against it. "C-couple of, couple of dollars, I think."
Lucy gasped when Natsu dropped down to his knees, a feral look in his eyes as he placed his hands over her core. "Sorry," he mumbled before taking hold of the thin material, stretching it until it ripped.
The huge hole in her pantyhose allowed him to access her core, his mouth covering her panties as he breathed in her scent. It was sweet and musky, driving him wild with lust.
"Damn, you smell incredible," Natsu mumbled, feeling Lucy shake as he licked over her covered core. "Wonder how you taste." He pulled at her thong, pushing it aside before he dipped his tongue into her wet folds.
Lucy's taste made his head spin, the unique flavor pulling a growl from his throat, his chest rumbling. He let go of her panties so he could grab her ass, squeezing her behind with his large hands. When he didn't get the friction he craved, he ripped her pantyhose from behind, exposing her ass so he could grab her directly.
Lucy threw her head back when he covered her clit, his tongue flicking up and down while his lips moved against her body. Her hands were buried in his hair, her thighs shaking when he assaulted her sensitive nerves faster.
He made a popping sound when he pulled away from her clit, saliva trailing between before it snapped off. Natsu was licking her pussy a second later, letting her intoxicating scent and taste overpower him.
Lucy whimpered, her voice strained as she said, "I hope we don't get caught."
Natsu's cock surged at the risk, fire flooding his veins. He hadn't thought about the possibility of getting caught in the act, but it made everything ten times hotter. The air was thick, almost suffocating, but Natsu could handle the heat. He dipped his tongue into her pussy, collecting her juices before smearing them over her clit.
"So incredible," he murmured, pulling back so he could rub the pads of his fingers against her bundle of nerves. Lucy was panting above him, her body flexing as she approached her edge. Natsu didn't give her a moment to catch her breath, his lips sealing around her clit again to drive her over, her orgasm hitting her at full force.
"N-Natsuuu!" she whimpered against her palm, trying to keep quiet. "Oh fuuuuck! Yes!"
He slipped a finger into her quivering core, feeling her inner walls contracting as it tried to milk a phantom cock. He eased another finger in, feeling her stretching from the new intrusion. He moved them in and out, slow at first, but gradually picking up speed as she rolled her hips, trying to get closer to his mouth.
Just to tease her, Natsu pulled back, a devious glint in his eyes as he only fingered her, watching as her lips parted, her hand falling to palm her breast. She was the epitome of sexy, her creamy skin glistening with sweat and his saliva.
Lucy whimpered when he hooked his fingers inside her, rubbing along her walls while refusing to do anything else. It drove her mad, but he loved it, feeling her failing to pull his head closer to her needy body.
"Natsuuu, please," she begged, voice breathless as she pouted.
"Fuck," he mumbled, unable to say no to that. He used his free hand to spread her lower lips, finding her bundle of nerves before wrapping his lips around it. He sucked and licked, every little touch making her body jerk in pleasure.
"You're dripping," Natsu murmured, pulling his fingers out of her core to see her arousal slipping down his hand. He groaned before sliding his fingers into her again, his grin turning wicked as an idea popped into his head.
Lucy gasped when he pulled his fingers out again, her head snapping down in time to see Natsu shoving his drenched fingers into his mouth, but that wasn't all. A third finger was inserted into his mouth, collecting his saliva before he removed them.
Lucy's thighs tensed when he probed at her entrance with three fingers, but she made no effort to stop him, her moan cutting short into a sob as he eased his fingers into her, stretching her core. She clamped around him in response, but that only made him keep pressing into her body.
Lucy leaned back, resting against one of the posts between the shelves. Natsu was convinced she would have fallen on her ass if that wasn't there, her eyes cloudy and lidded. As much as Natsu enjoyed a good laugh, he doubted it would have been funny if she fell.
Even if it was, it would have definitely ruined the mood.
As Natsu started fucking her with three fingers, he leaned in, tongue dragging over her clit. Breathing through his nose, he dug part of his face into her blonde curls, right over her pussy. He had to admit, he liked seeing a woman with some pubic hair, and Lucy's was perfect, neatly trimmed and a shade darker than the hair on her head.
As he ate her out, Lucy's thong came loose, trying to move back into its original position despite Natsu's tongue and fingers taking up that space. She grabbed at her panties, preventing them from sliding in the way. He rewarded her by tugging at her clit with his lips, hearing her shaky breath as she neared her end again.
Natsu licked over her nerves before looking up, flashing her a smirk that made her tighten around his fingers. "How's that feel, Lucy?" She squeezed him when he said her name, letting him know she enjoyed it, but he wanted to hear her say it.
"Nggh," Lucy moaned, one eye closing while her face burned with a hot blush. "Ama-amazing!"
Natsu nodded before thrusting into her harder, earning a choked sob. He didn't slow down his ministrations, making her body shake, her hips rocking against his mouth and fingers.
"Fuck, you're," Lucy gasped, "you're going to make me... make me c-cum! Don't stop! Please! Oh fuck! Please don't stop!"
Natsu had no intentions of stopping, his fingers working faster as his tongue did the same. His jaw began straining, but he didn't give in, bringing Lucy to another orgasm, her nails raking against his scalp as she came undone right before his eyes.
He was about to lick her again, but Lucy shook her head, her voice raspy as she spoke. "Please, please fuck me."
Natsu growled before standing up, Lucy whimpering when he pulled his fingers out of her. He grabbed her by the arm, roughly leading her to a nearby stack of boxes. Their bodies were covered in sweat, the smell of Lucy's arousal heavy in the air, but that only made Natsu hornier, a desperate desire to bury his cock into her driving his actions.
Natsu bent Lucy over the boxes, her ass exposed to him. He admired the mess he made, seeing her inner thighs covered with her dripping fluid, her pantyhose ripped in multiple places to reveal her ass and pussy. Moving her thong aside, he was able to see her soaked pussy, her lips swollen from his ministrations.
"You look so fuckin' sexy," he moaned, making sure he was loud when he unbuckled his belt, letting her know he was removing his pants. She shivered, her ass thrusting out so it was closer to him.
Natsu pushed down his pants and boxers, grabbing his erection with a tight grip before stroking himself, letting his leaking pre-cum lubricate his thick shaft. He stepped closer, touching his tip against her wet folds before slipping in, Lucy's warm wet walls stretching around his cock.
"Oh god!" Lucy cried, nails dragging over the cardboard as she held herself steady.
Natsu grunted in response, feeling her wrapped snug around his cock. Their combined fluids allowed him to start fucking her immediately, his hips snapping forward, pushing his entire length into her body.
"Natsu! Y-yes!"
"Damn," he cursed, pulling out only to push in again. "You're squeezing me! Fuck, you feel so fucking good!"
Lucy moaned when he slid in again, his cock massaging every inch inside her. She panted under him, his sweat dripping down onto her back as he picked up the pace, grip bruising on her hips as he pulled her back, making his thrusts that much deeper. He was relentless, time blurring as they moved against each other, their sounds of pleasure surrounding them.
Lucy struggled to keep quiet, moving her arm in front of her before pressing her mouth against it, her moans muffling, but it was enough to drive Natsu to fuck her harder. He pounded into her for a while, one of his hands slipping down to pinch and pull at her clit.
Lucy's walls squeezed and convulsed, causing Natsu to near his end sooner than he expected. He held out as long as he could, giving her long and fast thrusts as he bent over, biting her hard on the shoulder when he felt her coming around his cock, Lucy letting out a sob as his name spilled from her lips.
Natsu released inside her, coating her walls as pleasure washed over every nerve in his body. His blood roared and his heart hammered, but he managed to stay quiet by biting Lucy, hard enough to leave a few, small puncture wounds from his sharp canines. Lucy didn't seem to notice, her head resting against the box as she breathed in deep, body still twitching from the aftershock of her orgasm.
Some of their combined fluids dripped out when Natsu removed his cock from her spent pussy, his voice rough as he apologized for finishing inside her.
"It's okay," Lucy breathed, sounding exhausted. She carefully peeled herself from the boxes before sitting down on the ground, Natsu taking the spot next to her. "You're clean, and I'm on, birth control, so no, issues." She had to take breaks while she spoke, clearly tired after their session.
Natsu wiped sweat off his forehead, panting as his cock softened. "That was incredible. Best fuck of my life."
Lucy looked over, giving him a lazy smile. "Yeah?"
He nodded, hyper-aware of how sticky his body was. He couldn't wait to take a nice, long shower. With as hot as his body felt, he might even settle for a cool shower. "Yeah."
Lucy didn't say any more on the subject, turning to look at the shelves of merchandise. They did their best to catch their breaths, taking a few minutes to calm down. Natsu tucked himself into his pants after he pulled them up, the material resisting due to the sweat he worked up. When he was zipped up, he leaned over Lucy's body, causing her to jolt.
"What are you doing?" she asked, voice guarded.
He raised a brow as he picked up his pen, showing her it rolled over towards them. "Hope you don't mind, but I gotta get back to work." He grinned as he stood, legs shaky and head light. He walked over to the clipboard that had fallen, wondering when he dropped it. He flipped to the correct page, letting out a chuckle. "My boss is pretty cool, but I don't think she'd be happy if she found out I didn't finish this today."
Lucy laughed, pushing her damp bangs away from her forehead before standing up. She took off her pantyhose, seeing as they were ruined anyways. "Sorry about that," she mumbled, grabbing her skirt to pull up her body.
"For what?"
"For snapping," she answered, zipping her skirt. "I'm relieved though. I thought you were going to cuddle me or something."
Natsu didn't get a chance to say anything, Lucy cutting him off before he could start. "It's good that you didn't. Shows you're willing to follow the rules."
Natsu smiled, turning away from her as he continued where he left off with the inventory, this time without a shirt. "I don't wanna make you feel weird, even if this is kinda weird already."
Lucy sighed, shrugging on her shirt. "I understand. It's not traditional, but it makes us happy."
Natsu nodded, casting her a glance over his shoulder. "That's what really matters, right?"
"Right."
As she buttoned her shirt, she gasped, wiggling her hips. Natsu turned to look at her, his brows furrowed as he asked, "What's up?"
"Nothing," Lucy whispered, buttoning the last button on her shirt. "I can just feel you slipping out."
If Natsu wasn't flushing before, he was now, imagining his cum sliding out of her pussy. "Yeah?" he asked, voice breathless from the vivid image in his head.
Lucy nodded, brown eyes lighting up when she saw Natsu's strong reaction. She leaned into it, giving him what he wanted. "It's dripping on my panties," she started, walking closer to him, her voice taking on a sultry tone. "I'm going to have your cum there for the rest of the day. It makes me feel... dirty."
Natsu groaned, his heart racing again. When Lucy was close enough, he put his hands on her waist, giving her a light squeeze. "Is that bad?" he asked, voice laced with his returning need.
Lucy shook her head, her teeth pulling at her bottom lip before she released it. "I absolutely love it."
Then she pulled away, leaving Natsu aroused and frustrated. He was about to ask if she was up for a round two, but he stopped when his stomach growled, reminding him he hadn't eaten anything since breakfast.
"Oh, that's right," Lucy started, grabbing her jacket. "I came down to see if you wanted lunch."
Natsu cocked his head, remembering tasting that drink lingering in her mouth earlier. "I thought you already ate?"
Lucy shook her head, prompting Natsu to say, "I thought I tasted a limeade when we— earlier. I thought you went to eat."
Lucy's eyes widened as she shook her head again. "Oh, no. Erza brought me a drink, but that was it. I was going to wait until you were ready before eating, then well," she cut herself off, smiling. "Then this sort of happened."
"Did we break a rule?" Natsu asked, shaking his head at the absurd question. "I know we had to break a company rule by doing this here, but did we break one of your agreement rules?"
Lucy shook her head, not following. "No, why?"
"Don't you need Gray's permission before we..." He trailed off, now embarrassed over the subject. It was different when he was drunk on lust, but now that the moment was over, he was feeling awkward again.
Lucy didn't bother stifling her giggle. "No silly. We're good now. As long as we don't break any of the rules, we're free to have sex as many times as we want. I just need to tell Gray afterwards that it happened." She smiled, a faraway look in her eyes as she added, "And sometimes I tell him in detail what I've done if he wants to know. I hope that doesn't bother you."
Natsu knew Gray's comfort was going to come above his own, so it didn't matter too much how he felt about it. But thankfully, he was okay with it, as long as he wasn't there when they were discussing it. "Whatever you tell him is fine with me."
His eyes fell to her covered-chest, remembered the mark he left on her. "I never asked, but is there a rule against hickeys?"
Lucy shook her head. "Don't make a habit of it, but every once in a while is fine. Gray will understand. It was our first time. You were just being... enthusiastic."
Natsu barked out a laugh. "That's one way of puttin' it."
Lucy chuckled for a moment before looking around, sighing at the mess they made. "Well, we need to clean this up before someone sees. Also, do me a favor." She pointed towards the door. "After you put a shirt on, go outside and let me know if you can hear me."
Natsu nodded as he grabbed his tank top, cringing because it was damp with his sweat. He ended up wiping at his excess sweat with it before shoving the end into his pocket, deciding to wear his button up shirt without an undershirt. It was a dark color, so it wouldn't be too noticeable anyway.
"Do you want me to turn my music off?" he asked, gesturing towards his phone that was still playing. When Lucy shook her head, he went outside, closing the door behind him. He looked around, not seeing anyone in the area. He waited a moment before he heard it, Lucy's muffled scream through the door.
Knocking on the door, he gave her a moment before coming in, not wanting her to keep screaming when he entered. "I heard you that last time. It wasn't that loud though," he said, causing Lucy to let out a sigh of relief.
"That was about as loud as I was earlier, so if it wasn't too loud, I don't think anyone heard it."
"Let's hope not," Natsu mumbled, knowing he would feel like shit if someone found out. He didn't want anyone judging them for what they were doing, doubting others would understand, especially if he didn't fully understand it either.
"Well, are you ready for lunch?" Lucy asked, stopping him from feeling any worse about the possibility of getting caught.
"Yeah, I'm starving." He patted his belly to emphasize, walking over to grab his clipboard, pen, and phone before following Lucy out of the room. He noticed her stuffing her balled up pantyhose in her pocket, his eyes flitting down to her creamy legs. He wondered if anyone would notice she was no longer wearing them, but Lucy didn't look worried, so he let it go.
"I'll call maintenance about the heater problem. You can stop for today. No sense in you getting heat stroke over a few numbers."
Natsu grinned, shoulders shaking as he laughed. "I'm perfectly fine with that." The room had gotten better after Lucy turned on the air conditioner, but he was tired of doing inventory. He just wanted to go back to his normal job.
Lucy nodded. "And if anyone asks, I tried helping you with the inventory at the end. That's why I'm sweaty too. We ended up giving up, okay?"
"Gotcha."
The two walked towards the elevator, both moaning when they felt the cold air inside. There was no heater in the elevator, making it nice and cool.
Natsu looked over at Lucy, wondering how this gorgeous creature ended up wanting him, even if it was just physically. He wasn't sure how well their odd arrangement would work out, but so far, he was having the time of his life.
He hoped it didn't end anytime soon.
Natsu and Lucy have finally done the deed. :P What'd you think of this chapter? There will be a lot more smut in this story. Most of the chapters from here on out will have smut, but some will be more for plot/ character development instead. :)

MotherOfDragons1227- Yes, this story will show them going from an open marriage with rules to them all being exclusively in a relationship with each other. :) And in case anyone is wondering, this story will have a happy ending for these three. It's just going to take some time to get there. :)
Up next, Chapter Four: Conference
