Authors Note: Thanks so much for all of the reviews last chapter! Yes, I know it's a little absurd with the extent of Natsu's density, but c'mon, that adds more to the humour. Expect some pre-lemon nummyness in this chapter, like so close its palpable but then the illusion is shattered. Or is it?

So the blowjob and handjob Lucy gave Natsu ultimately did nothing to help further her relationship with him. Sometimes she just wanted to shake him until he understood what she wanted. She didn't think that simply saying it out loud in front of him would do much.

Lucy picked at her bread, watching Natsu and Happy argue over which is the best consistency for fish. All of his attention—which let's admit, it's not that much—is focused on Happy. Lucy could probably rip off her shirt, fondle her nipples and ride the corner of the table and he wouldn't so much look in her direction.

"Natsu," Lucy said for the sixth time in a row. She not surprised when she's unsuccessful in gaining his attention. The pink haired dragon slayer is entirely engrossed with his conversation.

Her cheeks flame when she wonders if he told Happy of what she did to him behind the guild and at dinner. Happy was his best friend but would he be smart enough to keep his trap shut.

Annoyed, and fed up with his ignorance, she slams her palms down onto the table. "Natsu, have sex with me." She's blatantly ignored by both males. She close to tarring her hair out.

She does the next best thing. She threw a spoon at him. Her weapon of choice may not have been the best idea, but it did distract him long enough for him to throw a quizzical glance in her direction.

"Did you just throw a spoon at me?" he asked, amused. Lucy grinned cheekily at him and Happy rolled his eyes.

Lucy leans forward, pressing her arms a little tighter together to form more cleavage. "Yes. What are you going to do about it?" Please. Please, something, anything!

Natsu smirks, standing, "I'm going to…" Coolly, he walks around the table and bends. He grabs her by her upper arms, lifting her off the chair. His fingers dance along the edge of her shorts. "Tickle you!" What? Suddenly, he's tickling her relentlessly; his fingers magically making her sides ache.

"Natsu!" she squealed, giggling like crazy, attempting—poorly—to protect her sides. This isn't what she expected, but at least she held his attention for now. His rambunctious tickling eventually led to the couple rolling around on the floor, taking turns at tickling the other person.

At times like this, when they're just a silly couple, Lucy forgets all about her craving for sex. Happy excused himself sometime between the moments they were wrestling to the moment they were kissing.

His lips burned against hers as she hooked her arms around his neck, pulling him in for more. Natsu's hands were braced on the floor next to her head, his chest brushing against hers as he relented in being tugged down. His tongue slipped past her lips, cinnamon washing over her as she let out a small moan.

Lucy slid her hands down his back and under his vest. She wanted it off. They broke the kiss, panting, and Natsu allowed Lucy to take off his vest. Nervously, he discarded her halter top, her naked breasts exposed to him. Lucy watches as his eyes scan her body and a timid smile settles on his lips.

She's suddenly just as nervous as he is. Sure she's given him a blowjob and a handjob before, but he's never touched her as intimately as this previously. Lucy carefully moves out from underneath him, kneeling in front of him, guiding his hand to her breast.

Natsu's eyes darken, and tentatively, he squeezes her breast. The action causes Lucy's sharp intake of breath. His hot thumb drags across her hardening nipple, a shiver shooting down her spine. Her belly was on fire.

Squeezing and rubbing her nipple makes Lucy moan like crazy. Her head's thrown back, her blond hair fluttering as she moves her head, her hands steadied on the floor. She would have collapsed if she were standing.

When his lips graze her nipple, she sighs. It feels so good. The pinket's tongue languidly flicked at her nipple and Lucy's mind goes blank.

"Oh, Natsu. Oh god," Lucy moans. The Celestial mage uses some more vulgar language attached to lord's name. Natsu's other hand is massaging her free breast, while his mouth gives its full attention to Lucy's nipple.

Every nerve in her body was pinched tight, waiting to burst and send the euphoric sign to her brain. She was hot, groaning, panting and her core was clenching. With the introduction of his teeth to her nipple, Lucy feels it. Her nerves exploded, sending the waves up to her brain. Her core snaps, adding to the bliss in her brain.

"Natsu…!" her very first orgasm was from Natsu fondling her breasts. The dragon slayer wrenches away, flushing from embarrassment.

Wow. That's how Natsu must have felt when she was playing with his manhood. As she comes down from her high, she wonders what it would feel like if he did that to her sex.

"I'm sorry—I just…" he doesn't know what to say.

Lucy laughs, hugging him tightly, "I love you." With one arm around her waist, he scratches his chin, glancing away, still red faced.

"Yeah, me too," he said, his expression growing more embarrassed the longer they stay embraced.

"Natsu?" Lucy tilts her head just enough so she can see him.

"Hm?" he's not looking at her anymore, his got his eyes locked on the window.

"Do you want to have sex?" There, she said it.

"Sure," he replies, squinting down at her.

Lucy's jaw dropped. He just agreed? She did all that seducing for nothing? Well she'll be damned. He's not as stupid as she thought. Then again, she did tell him what it was in great detail before.

"It's a kind of cake, isn't it?" Natsu inquires, angling his head cutely. "Gray said it was really good. He said it was the best thing I could ever taste. Moist, soft and above all, depending on what kind, it all tastes different. He said Juvia has the best but I think you do." Or not.

She stares at him, rather flabbergasted, pondering why in the hell he couldn't discern how dirty his words were. Then, she laughs. Good ol' Natsu.

"No, it's not a cake. Gray was just lying to you." She doesn't add 'about that part' and instead stands, offering her hand. "I'll tell you later. Come have a shower with me."

He blushes from head to toe, but takes her hand and lets her lead him to the small bathroom. While the water heated up, Lucy stripped down from her shorts and panties, till she was completely naked. Natsu takes a moment longer than she, but also removes his pants and underwear.

Both of them scrutinize the other, shy beyond compare. A small tuff of blond hair arched around Lucy's sex and a small pink haired area was above Natsu's manhood.

Closing her eyes for a brief moment, she steps in the shower, beckoning him in with her.

Natsu stood on an opposite end of the shower, unsure of what to do. Then he grinned rakishly and strode over to her, waggling the shampoo bottle. Lucy wet her hair, and then turned. She heard him squirt a fair amount of the scent shampoo on his palm and then he was running his fingers through her hair.

He massaged her scalp, letting her soak in the feeling of his hands washing her hair. It felt so much better than when she did it. Lucy rinsed out her hair, smirking back at him.

"Thanks for that." Her voice was deliberately low. Natsu tosses the bottle over the shower rod. It hits the floor on the other side with a thud.

Lucy tugs him forward, bringing their lips together. Her fingers thread in his wet locks, as she cautiously presses their bodies together. Natsu gasped, shocked, but doesn't break the kiss. His hands met the wall of the shower, pushing her against the cool tile as well.

Lucy can feel his member hardening, jabbing her stomach. She changes her body position, ever so slightly, so his member is between her thighs. His manhood rubs her clit as she moves her hips.

He moans along with her, the softness of her thighs clenching around him. He begins to move with her, no longer able to kiss. Lucy wraps her arms around Natsu's neck as each thrust toys with her clit.

Once again adjusting, he's sliding his length between her sex's lips. The feeling is euphoric for both parties. Lucy can feel every bit of his length the more he moves.

"Oh Natsu," Lucy moans, her lips finding the junction between his neck and shoulder. Natsu's movements grow more frenzied. These new sensations were bringing her closer to her edge faster than she'd have ever thought possible.

"Luce, Luce, oh Luce." With each enunciation of her name, everything grows tighter in her body. Her clit is burning and his member is pulsating. Her core is clamping, nearly sending her over the edge.

"I'm—!" Natsu's voice cuts off, his seed splattering on the wall behind her.

"Coming…!" Lucy finishes for him, her orgasm bringing her to a state of ecstasy once again. They're panting, and Lucy's legs feel like Jell-O.

Natsu's eyes are full of adoration, and she returns the look. They're silent before they're kissing, unsure of who initiated it. Not that it mattered.

They kissed until the water turned cold.

Hmm… That was a little abrupt. Ah well. I liked it. This one is clearly shorter than the other two, but that's because I got a little lazy with the last scene. And mostly, I wanted this chapter to show Lucy's not all about the sex. That they can function without it. Once again, thanks so much for all the reviews and the delicious lemon is approaching soon! See you soon.
