Trouble after the Storm

A couple minutes had passed, and yet the rain would not let up. Natsu watched it as it continued to dump water all around them, possibly making the lake rise a little. He sighed. If ever, they might have to abandon the cabin and head back to the mansion. Just in case the water reached their temporary hiding place, that is…

The young man adjusted himself, trying to find a more comfortable position to be in. A couple of minutes earlier, Lucy had remembered that there were some thick fur coats in the cabin's wardrobe cabinet. They had pulled them all out, making a makeshift bed on the floor. The cabin did have a double-deck, but it was sent for repair after months of disuse. So the only option they had left was to use the coats to give them additional warmth. But even so, Natsu had insisted that Lucy be the one who use it, and that he would remain on the wooden floor. The female had asked him to join her, but he adamantly refused. The feel of a warm bed beneath him and an almost naked woman beside him would surely—surely—drive him to the edge. Speaking of almost naked woman…

"Lucy?" He called out, as he turned his gaze to the blonde. He just wanted to check on her. When his eyes landed on her, he noticed that she was huddled right beside him, her arms tightly wrapped around her legs. The blonde cracked an eye open at him, her brown orb questioning.

"Are you cold? I can add more wood to the fire, if the heat's not enough." But before he could stand up, Lucy had already grabbed his arm.

"Wait, let me do it. It's been a while since I last did it." She said, even though in truth she just did not want Natsu to be bothered by the task. He always did things for her; this one little task would not be that difficult to do, even for her. Besides, she was the one who was more affected by the cold, between the two of them, so it was only more fitting that she would be the one stoking the fire.

The blonde slowly stood up, intending to head for the fireplace. But her foot snagged on the hem of the overlarge bed sheet that she had wrapped around her frame, causing her to trip. In one quick motion, Natsu had already moved in his place, catching Lucy in his arms. The blonde's cover slipped away from her body, as Natsu's flew open. Their bodies collided with each other, allowing them a more intimate moment than what they have had earlier. Natsu's face flushed a bright pink, as Lucy's did the same. She saw that he was only in his black boxers, an item that allowed her to see the toned legs and stomach that he had.

"I-I'm sorry." The young man stammered, mentally cursing himself for the sudden lack of vocabulary. Lucy shook her head quickly, her breathing becoming a bit ragged as she tried to gather the fallen sheet around her.

"D-don't apologize. I—"She said, as she lifted her brown orbs to meet the young man's black ones. But she found him staring in another direction. He was intentionally avoiding looking at her. She smiled gently at him. Even at this point…

Slowly, she inched closer to him, her chest pressing against his. Natsu's eyes widened as he felt Lucy's breath fanning the side of his face. He gulped, before turning his head. As he did so, his lips brushed slightly against Lucy's, causing the two of them to gasp. The blonde licked her lips, her hands trembling as she rested them on his shoulders.

"Like what you said…" she murmured, her mouth tantalizingly close to Natsu's. The young man could smell a vanilla scent radiating from her, invading his senses. He was captivated. He was her prisoner. And she was torturing him, torturing him into insanity…

"I have a habit of falling…" She whispered. But instead of kissing him, she pulled away, leaving Natsu staring wide-eyed at the wall.

"I'm sorry." Lucy muttered as she wrapped herself up once more. She was back on her makeshift bed, her arms folded right in front of her.

"I—I shouldn't have. I got carried awa—" But before she could finish, Natsu had already moved toward her, pushing her as gently as he could on the fur coats. He had reached out for her hands, forcing them to part with her chest as he pinned them on either side of her head. Lucy's eyes widened. She noticed how hard Natsu was biting his lower lip, so much so that his fang was burying itself on the soft flesh, causing a bit of blood to flow out of the small wound.

"I told you…I can't…Lucy, I…" Natsu was finding it hard to talk. Dammit! He cursed in his head. Why…why did she have to do that? His self-control was already at its limit. If Lucy had kissed him, maybe he could have had controlled himself some more. Maybe. Probably. But when she moved away from him, when she deprived him of that small kiss…his control snapped. He bit harder into his lips. Dammit, dammit, dammit..!

"Natsu…" Lucy murmured, as she watched Natsu struggle. She knew he was not intending to hurt her, but would it count as hurting her when she—when she wanted it herself? When she herself wanted to be embraced by him, to be kissed by him—to be taken by him? Would it count?

Blood dripped onto her lips as she lay there. She let out her tongue, licking of the crimson liquid from her mouth. It was metallic. It was warm. Gently, slowly, she tried prying her hands off from Natsu's grip. The young man seemed to have lost his strength for a moment, for he did not even bother stopping Lucy. The blonde then reached up, cupping Natsu's face and forcing him to look at her.

"Kiss me." She ordered, her voice low. Natsu's eyes widened at her command.

"Lucy..? I can't. I don't…" But Lucy just repeated her request.

"Kiss me. Or would you like me to find another guard to do that for me?" She threatened. It worked. She saw an almost angry look pass through his face, before he leaned down.

"…And have you violated? Have you forced to touch him, kiss him? Dammit, Lucy…" He said, his voice becoming huskier and huskier by the moment. The sudden shift in personality almost scared the blonde—but at the same time she found it endearing to know Natsu could make her feel like he owned her.

"Didn't I tell you I'm yours, all yours? Order me about, command me to do anything. But I won't allow you to have someone else to order about. Cause right now…" He said as his lips hovered mere centimetres above Lucy's. The blonde's eyes were now half-hidden by her lids, her lips parted a little, awaiting Natsu to capture them.

"…I'll be making you mine. All mine. Mistress…Lucy…" He said as he brushed his mouth against Lucy's, causing the female to moan a little. He smirked.

"You're mine." And he pressed his lips against her, letting weeks of built-up frustration flow out of him, letting Lucy know how much he had wanted to kiss her all this time. Lucy moaned beneath him, her hands going around his neck, pulling him closer to her. Her fingers tangled themselves in his spiky pink locks, revelling in their softness despite their appearance. She was purring, opening her mouth a little more as Natsu deepened the kiss. He let his tongue enter the moist cavern, allowed it to explore the wet interior. Lucy's tongue met his, battling him, teasing him. In the end, she succumbed to him, letting him suck on the pink muscle. They remained in lip-lock for a couple of minutes more, before they finally parted. Both were flushed. Both were breathing heavily. Natsu stared at the female beneath him. She was looking at him with a dazed expression on her face. Her hands had fallen from his neck, and were now resting on either side of her head. Her chest was rising in a steady rhythm, her bosom capturing his attention.

"Lucy…" He murmured as he lowered himself once more, this time paying attention to her chest. The blonde mewled, her hands once more reaching for his head. She arched her back in pleasure as the young man continued kissing her.

"Natsu, I…Please…" She begged, pulling Natsu closer to her bosom. The young man lifted his head, moving his face closer to Lucy's. His lips brushed her jawline, his breath tickling her now sensitive skin.

"Please what? Command me, Lucy…" He murmured, his hands now going beneath the female's body, his fingers fumbling with the lock of her undergarment. Lucy murmured her wish, her voice cracking as she felt Natsu's hands snake around her. The young man smirked, before kissing her lips.

"Very well. Your wish…" He whispered as he slowly, gently, removed Lucy's undergarment, allowing her bosom to tumble into view.

"…is my command…"


"Lucy.."

The female groaned as she heard someone calling her name. Why did the bed feel so…sandy?

"Lucy..!"

She heard the male voice again. Wait, was it Natsu? Couldn't he see she was still sleeping? And seriously, why did the bed feel so hard..?

"LUCY!"

This time, she felt a hand grab her shoulder, shaking her a little. She cracked an eye open, expecting a naked Natsu hovering above her. But instead, she saw a fully-dressed one, with a worried expression covering his face.

"Didn't know you were a heavy sleeper." Natsu kidded as the female slowly sat up. He watched as she turned her head this way and that, a surprised and somewhat disbelieving look dominating her own face.

"Was…was I sleeping?" She asked, dumbfounded. The young man nodded.

"Yeah, you were. Been out for like two hours. Your clothes even dried up while you slept. You told me we can use your cabin, but right after you said that, you fell asleep. I decided to take a short nap as well. I only woke up thirty minutes ago, I suppose. You were still asleep when I came to; I didn't want to wake you up since you were sleeping peacefully. I guess you really got tired after our little water fight." He reported. But the more he talked, the more Lucy noticed a blush creeping up his face. Her heart almost leaped out of her ribcage as she asked her dreaded question.

"Did…did I talk in my sleep? Did I say anything?" She inquired, unable to prevent the warmth spreading through her face. At this, Natsu's eyes widened, before he gulped and turned away.

"…Would you like me to tell the truth? Or would you like me to lie?" He asked. Lucy stared at him. She then took a deep breath, before continuing.

"The truth..?" She answered a bit hesitantly. Natsu swallowed hard.

"You were moaning a lot, murmuring a lot. I didn't hear all of them. Well, I tried hard to not make sense of them. But…I did…hear you say one thing clearly." At this, the blonde's breathing seemingly stopped.

"And…and what did I say..?"

"…"

"…I promise, I won't get mad. What did I say?"

"You…ordered me…to make love to you." Natsu finally responded. Lucy's face turned a brighter shade of red—a shade similar to what could be found on Natsu's.

"…"

"…"

BAM! Next thing Natsu knew, a fist had collided against his jaw. He tumbled backward, his jaw now stinging. He could not help but glare at Lucy as he touched his face. The heck..?! Didn't she just say she won't get mad at me, he complained in his head as he massaged the sore spot on his face.

"What was that for?!"

"FOR ME BEING STUPID!"

"…"

"DON'T ASK!"

"But…"

"KYAHHHH!" Lucy yelled as she got to her feet, running toward the path and back to her house. Natsu, on the other hand, remained glued on the ground, his black orbs on his retreating Mistress.

"You're weird…" He murmured. But even so, there was a grin on his lips (despite his now starting-to-swell-jaw). Looked like he was not the only one having…quite intimate and provocative dreams.


"So, what did you find so far?" The ravenhead asked his adoptive sister, who was busy working in front of the computer.

"Nothing. Wait…" The black-haired female suddenly quickened her scrolling, her eyes going left to right in a blur.

"Listen to this:

"Igneel Dragneel, founder and CEO of Dragon Blaze, a world-renowned company dealing with fireworks and firework displays, has gone on vacation with his family. Mr Dragneel has requested that nobody from work or from his personal contacts reach him for the time being, as he wants to spend some time with his relatives. His return is still unknown.."

"Is there any follow up report, Ultear?" Gray asked as he stopped pacing in the room. The female shook her head.

"No, there isn't. I guess there's no point in having to update the people with some CEO's vacation. The interest wears off after some time, after all. Probably they'll make another article about him, once he gets back." Ultear said. Gray frowned.

"It's weird. All of a sudden, Mr Dragneel goes off on some vacation, with no certainty of when he would return? It's really weird. Besides…" Gray then approached his sister, his black orbs scanning the news article.

"If it's mentioned here that he's with family…why the heck is Squinty over at Lucy's?"
