She had averted her gaze one too many times for his liking. Even if he wasn't a pro at this kind of stuff, he knew that her not making direct eye contact wasn't good. He was a physical person through and through, but he needed her to be with him emotionally—as girly as that sounded—in order for this to be as mind-blowing as humanly possible. He knew that, at least.
"What's wrong? Am I hurting you?" he asked.
She shook her head. "N-No. It's… it's very good."
His hands explored her body in earnest, tweaking and caressing places even she overlooked in her lifetime. He would comment on not being able to gauge how well he was doing based on her reaction, but he didn't want to be mean when she was so vulnerable and open to him.
"Why can't you look at me?"
"I am… looking," she murmured, squeaking against her will when he found a rather sensitive nub of flesh.
"No, you're not," he replied. "Look at me."
Slowly, Lucy brought her eyes forward. His eyes were intense, almost too intense, and she found herself overwhelmed in what she saw there.
Her determination broke again as her eyes shifted.
"Luce! What are you scared of?"
"Scared?"
"Lucy," he began, in a much sterner tone, "are you embarrassed to be here with me?"
"No! Embarrassed, yes. Because of you? Not one bit," she responded, now meeting his eyes in order to convey her point without misunderstanding.
"You're just embarrassed in general? Why?"
"I've never been so… exposed."
"You're beautiful, Luce. Believe me. You have absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. You're a guy's fantasy."
"R-Really?"
"You're definitely my fantasy, I'll tell you that. But in that fantasy, you're staring me dead in the eye, whispering the dirty things you want me to do to you."
"Natsu!" she exclaimed, smacking his arm.
"That's alright, that's alright," he breathed, picking up the pace. "As long as you believe me."
