Chapter Nine: Inappropriate for the workplace

Natsu's eyes slid shut when he heard Lucy's throaty moan. He swallowed it, breathing her in as he kissed her senseless. He had her pressed against her office wall, one hand skimming down her side while the other rested above her head. She leaned into his body, allowing him to feel her soft curves as her needy lips moved against his.

Natsu muffled his groan when he felt Lucy grinding against his cock, his thick member throbbing for attention. He wanted so badly to take her. Against the wall, on her desk, it didn't matter to him. He just wanted to be deep inside her.

However, he didn't remove himself from his pants, not wanting to break their rule. They didn't consider kissing at work as bad as having sex. Neither were taking off their clothes, so they didn't think it would count. If anything, they were bending the rule they put into place.

As long as they were both okay with it, neither minded a little bending.

Lucy ended the kiss when her phone started ringing. Judging by the heavy sigh she released after she leaned against the wall, she didn't want their make out session to end. Natsu didn't either, his heart thrumming and his body on fire. He wanted to touch her more, to feel her moving against him, but now wasn't the time. They were supposed to be professional at work, but they just couldn't seem to keep their hands off each other for too long.

While Lucy started walking towards her desk, she let her hand trail over his stomach before grazing his pants, feeling his hardness. A satisfied smile slid over her lips as she answered the phone, her voice a little winded from their heated kiss.

Natsu took her distraction as an opportunity to readjust his pants before straightening his clothes. Work would start soon, and he needed to be in his seat before anyone caught him sneaking out of Lucy's office. It wasn't unusual for him to be in there, but the less people saw him slipping in and out, the better it was for their secret.

Natsu looked over at Lucy, his eyes soaking in her beauty. No matter what she wore, she was always sexy to him. Everything from her stockings to her neatly done hair. He envisioned himself ripping at her pins to free her hair, but he was on a time out from that particular activity.

The last time he tried, he ended up jerking her hair and hurting her, so she told him he had to wait a while before she was willing to let him try again. They had laughed it off in the end, but he remembered the tears that clung to her eyes as they tried sorting out the mess he made. He didn't want to hurt her again, which was why he changed how he interacted with Lucy now that she was injured.

His eyes raked over her cast, knowing her arm was still broken. That was the main reason they started kissing at work. Since her accident, Natsu hadn't had sex with her as much as before. He didn't mind so much, as long as he wasn't hurting Lucy. The first few weeks after the accident she didn't want to have sex anyway, focusing on recovering.

Natsu hated to admit it, but he actually liked the time when they weren't just fucking as much as he liked when he was deep inside her, hearing her pleasured cries.

Since the accident, Natsu started hanging out with Lucy and Gray more. They would invite him to their house at least once, sometimes twice a week just to spend time with them. He enjoyed being around them. Their personalities melded well with each other. Plus, Natsu and Gray got to deepen their friendship, which was nice. He loved spending time with Lucy, but he had to admit, he loved having a guy friend just as much. He could roughhouse with Gray since the man could keep up with him physically.

Hell, just last week the two were wrestling in the living room while Lucy made dinner. After that, they all stayed up late watching TV before Natsu headed home. He felt better when he hung out with the two of them. He used to leave Lucy's house feeling a little empty inside when they just had sex, but after hanging out, he felt like he got what he had been missing.

He didn't know how to describe it, so he didn't even bother. As long as he was happy, he wasn't willing to question it too much further.

When Natsu considered himself calmed down, he left Lucy's office, but not before giving her a wide grin. He liked where they were now, enjoying her body and her friendship. Of course, the way he enjoyed her body had changed.

When Lucy was feeling up for sex again, he took it slow. He didn't go fast and hard like he wanted, instead trying to be delicate with her. It wasn't his strong suit. Most of the time he ended up being a little clumsy because his mind kept telling him to go rough, meaning he was actively fighting against himself while fucking her. Lucy didn't seem to mind. She kept asking to have sex with him, so he guessed she liked what he was giving her.

The amount of sex they had changed as well. They reduced the time to about once every other week, and it was always at her house in her extra bedroom. They had been experimenting with different toys lately too, allowing Natsu to play with her without jostling her around too much. He really didn't want to hurt her and make her recovery time longer. It was already dragging by slowly.

Natsu slipped into his seat, noticing no one else had arrived for work yet. It was a good thing, ensuring they kept their relationship hidden another day. He didn't want to ruin Lucy's image. She was a respectable businesswoman, and people didn't need to know what she did in her private life.

Natsu took a deep breath as he got to work, wishing he had gotten a release. His cock was softening, but that didn't stop him from wanting to take Lucy roughly against her desk like he had in the past. He didn't want to break the rule they made, but that didn't mean he couldn't have some fun at the workplace.

As Natsu went about his day, he thought about what he could do that would be special for Lucy. He wanted something that would surprise her, but also something she would definitely enjoy.


"—And she passed the background check, so I offered her the job. If she can, I'd like her to start next Monday?"

"Sounds good," Lucy said, nodding to Mira. They headed back to her office to print a file off her computer, going about their day as usual. "And you said she has experience with our software?"

"Yup. She worked at 'Love and Lucky' for two years before coming here."

Lucy smiled at the mention of her father's clothing line. As much as she wanted to work for that company, she was happy with the one she was in now. It allowed her more room to grow, whereas the other one would leave her stuck in the same position for the rest of her career.

Lucy yawned as she opened her office, allowing Mira in before her. She caught Natsu's half-smile as she passed, but she didn't comment. Not only was he busy talking with Jet, she didn't want to risk saying what was on her mind. With her luck, she might mention how handsome he looked when he smiled, and she didn't want anyone at work hearing that, especially in front of Mira.

'I should invite him over tonight,' she thought, knowing Gray would be getting home late. He had been working long hours the past few days to get ready for an inspection, leaving him busy and exhausted. 'Maybe Natsu can stay for dinner again. I bet Gray would like the company too. He could use a good laugh.'

Natsu had a way of making the two of them crack up when it was just the three of them. He had come out of his shell compared to earlier in their relationship. He was able to joke around with them more freely, which was exactly what she wanted tonight. A nice, fun night with the three of them. 'Maybe we can even rent a movie and—'

"What's this?" Mira asked, interrupting Lucy's thoughts.

She looked at where Mira was pointing, frowning when she saw a small bag on her desk. It was black with a pink lace bow on the side. She didn't recognize it, but it looked pretty. "I don't know."

Slowly, a smile crept over her face as she looked for a card, finding a tag on the pink string of the bag. She read what it said aloud, liking the beautiful font typed on the tag. "Thought you'd like this." There was no signature, leaving the person who left it a mystery.

A rush of excitement flooded her system as she turned to Mira, showing her the card. "What is it?" she asked, as if Mira would know. Without waiting for a response, she took out the black tissue paper, her fingers curling around a box at the bottom.

Lucy's mistake was not checking what her present was before pulling it out of the bag. If she did, she would have saved herself a lot of embarrassment. She didn't even get it all the way out before Mira's eyes widened, recognizing the picture on the box.

"OH MY GOSH!"

Her voice echoed around Lucy's office, traveling out the door and into the main work space. It wasn't hard for everyone to hear her, alerting them that something as wrong.

Lucy recoiled at Mira's outburst, her smile wiped from her face when she turned to her friend. "What the heck?" She didn't get a response, Mira's eyes glued to the object in Lucy's hand.

She looked down, her heart sinking when she finally realized what she was holding. The rectangular box had an image of a vibrator on it. Lucy gasped as she held it away from her, wondering who would drop a vibrator off in her office.

Before she had a chance to think about it, her employees started filling her office, all trying to see what caused Mira to scream.

"What's going on?" Jenny asked.

Jet looked around the floor, unaware of the toy in Lucy's hand. "Did you see another spider in here?"

All eyes landed on Lucy before moving to the box. Lucy could see the recognition flashing over their faces, her cheeks burning with a blush as she scrambled to hide it. Putting the vibrator behind her back hadn't done any good. People had seen it, and the ones who hadn't were quickly filled in by the hushed whispers.

Erza stepped up, snatching the box from behind Lucy to inspect it. She shook her head, looking up at the crowd. "Who thought it was a good idea to send this to Lucy?!" She raised the box in the air, letting everyone have a good look at it. "This is highly inappropriate!"

"Erza!" Lucy scolded, trying to grab the box away. She was unable to do so, Erza's height giving her the advantage. "Drop it!"

While Lucy tried to get the vibrator back, everyone else started talking, trying to figure out where it came from. When Lucy finally grabbed the box, she clutched it to her chest, refusing to let anyone else touch it. She was embarrassed enough already. She didn't need Erza waving it in front of everyone's faces.

Lucy looked around the room, wishing they would stop discussing her gift. She was ready to throttle whoever had the bright idea to drop a vibrator into her office until her eyes locked with Natsu's, seeing the fear written on his face.

Her shoulders fell as it dawned on her. She asked a silent question with her eyes, stomach twisting when she saw his slight nod, confirming he was the one who gave it to her.

While she appreciated the gift, she knew he shouldn't have given it to her at work. Lucy didn't know how to handle the situation. She had never been in one similar, and the more time she didn't do something, the more time her employees had to make assumptions.

"Who would give her that?"

"Was it someone here?

"It's not appropriate for the workplace."

Those hushed comments were bad, but Erza didn't make it any better by saying, "At least they got you the deluxe version. It's way better than the basic model."

"Erza!" Lucy didn't know who to be more mad at. Natsu for putting her in that position or Erza for putting in her two cents.

"Who sent it?" Mira asked, changing the subject back to the one Lucy didn't wish to discuss. She didn't know how she was going to get out of it, and her heart only tripled its speed when Mira started looking over the employees.

Lucy's eyes shot to Natsu's, seeing his face coloring with a deep flush. It was obvious to her it was Natsu's gift, but that blush was a dead giveaway. Thinking fast, Lucy blurted out the one person she knew could get away with giving her a gift like that.

"GRAY!"

Everyone, including Mira, looked at Lucy. She felt sweat beading on the back of her neck, but she couldn't back down now. She slipping the vibrator back into the bag, hoping that would help diffuse the situation.

"Gray stopped by earlier," she lied, constructing a story in her head on the spot. It was easier than it should have been. She had an active imagination. It helped most when she wrote stories in her spare time, but she would gladly use the skill if it got her out of this mess. "He must have left it here when I wasn't looking?"

The people around her didn't look convinced, one of them even saying, "I didn't see Gray in here today."

"Me either," Erza added, her brows furrowed as she looking over Lucy's face.

"He didn't stay long," she said, trying to sound convincing. "Just in and out, real quick."

When that didn't seem to work, Natsu cleared his throat, finally speaking up. "I think I saw him..." The attention was taken off Lucy for a moment as they gazed at Natsu, waiting for more. "Was it around lunch time?"

Lucy nodded, thankful he was backing up her fake story. "Yeah. He was here for a minute or two."

"Maybe that's why I didn't see him," Droy, a heavyset man, said, scratching his cheek. "I wasn't paying attention."

"You're always distracted when you eat," Jet laughed, elbowing Droy's stomach.

"Can you blame him?" Sherria asked, smiling at Droy. "Even I wanted that sandwich."

While people started talking and laughing, Lucy moved. She stuffed the bag into her desk, thinking she had gotten away with it. When she glanced up, she noticed a lot of eyes on her.

"Yes?" she asked, as if she didn't already know.

A hint of suspicion laced her voice as Erza asked, "So you're sure it was Gray?"

Lucy nodded, feeling her ears turning red as she continued to lie. "It had to be him." She didn't dare glance at Natsu, not wanting them to suspect him as the culprit. Honestly, Lucy hadn't expected Natsu to give her a gift in the first place. Sure, sometimes he surprised her with treats and coffee, but never anything that would last more than a day. Not only that, the gift was very personal and intimate.

She already knew she would be thinking about Natsu when she used it, regardless of if he was there or not. She wanted to ask him why he got it for her, but she could take a guess. They hadn't been having as much sex lately, but that was because he was scared he would hurt her during due to her injuries.

'Maybe he wanted me to get off without the threat of bodily harm?' She didn't think Natsu would hurt her, accidentally or on purpose, but she liked that he cared so much about her safety. He could be pretty rough in the bedroom, but she loved that.

Lucy felt a delightful surge of warmth spread over her chest at the thought of using Natsu's gift on herself. She had to admit, he had done a damn good job on picking it. They had been using a few toys lately, and Natsu must have wanted to expand their selection.

Lucy forced a smile on her face, happy when Mira and Erza seemed to believe her. The other employees looked like they were easing into the idea too, some even whispering how they wished their spouse would do something 'fun' like that.

Lucy couldn't deny it. Natsu was fun, inside and outside of the bedroom. He was full of energy and had a fiery personality that couldn't be matched. It had taken a while before he was willing to be himself with her, but she was happier with him now than she had been when they first got started. She would be lying if she said she was only attracted to his body. His upbeat attitude was something she couldn't get enough of.

And hopefully she wouldn't have to give it up anytime soon.

"As your HR rep," Mira started, giving Lucy a stern look. "I have to say it's not okay for Gray to bring you a gift like that here."

Lucy nodded, understanding completely. She hoped Natsu was listening so he wouldn't do it again. If he wanted to get her a gift like that, he could always give it to her outside of the office.

"But as your friend," Mira continued, a giddy smile crossing her face. "I want to say I hope I get someone like that one day. You and Gray are so perfect for each other."

Lucy's smile turned genuine, thinking about Gray. They got along great and complimented each other well. Sure, they had their arguments just like every couple, but their strong line of communication kept them happy. Lucy loved Gray, even if their relationship wasn't the most traditional.

Her eyes flitted towards the door, hoping to catch a glimpse of Natsu. However, she only saw the back of his head as he left her office, probably to continue working since other employees started leaving.

Her chest clenched for a second, sad her relationship with Natsu was going to have to end eventually. She had a lot of fun with him, especially after they started building a stronger friendship. Lucy enjoyed hanging out with him outside of the office and outside of their relationship. He had a way of making her laugh and feel carefree, and she liked that about him.

Lucy bit her inner cheek as she turned towards Mira and Erza, knowing she needed to stop thinking like that. It would only lead her down a road she couldn't take, and she wasn't willing to risk her marriage by letting those thoughts grow.

Natsu was just for fun.

That was it.

Lucy swallowed, hating the ill feeling spreading through her body. Despite knowing she was right, she couldn't help but feel wrong. At first she didn't mind thinking of Natsu as nothing more than an extra, but his role was slowly changing in her life, and she didn't know if or when those lines between assistant, extra, and friend were going to blur.

She found herself letting her guard down more around him every day, and she knew if she didn't get a grip on her emotions, she was going to have to end things. Gray was her priority, and she wasn't going to throw away the life they built together.

She refused to let that happen.

Lucy took a deep, reassuring breath. She shoved those thoughts about Natsu so far down she almost stumbled in place. Things were great how they were now, and she didn't want that to change.

"Lucy?" Erza asked, waving her hand in front of Lucy's face.

Jolting back, Lucy placed a hand over her racing heart, her eyes growing wide. "What?!"

Erza and Mira laughed, both having watched Lucy zone out a minute or two ago. "You okay?" Mira asked, placing a hand on Lucy's shoulder.

She nodded, gulping as she stood straighter. "I'm fine. Just thinking."

"Are you thinking about that toy?" Erza asked, waggling her eyebrows. "If I were you, I'd ask Gray to get you the extra attachments. They'll be more than worth it."

Lucy couldn't help but laugh, though it had a nervous hint to it. "I'll be sure to let him know," she said, patting her burning cheeks before moving towards her computer. "Y-you still need that document printed?"

Mira nodded, snickering with Erza while Lucy got to work. "Yes, please."

Lucy couldn't be more happier when she handed the paper to Mira, watching as her and Erza finally left her office. Though, they had to get their last few comments in before returning to their professional selves. Lucy could handle a little teasing, especially now that it was over. She sat at her desk, breathing a heavy sigh before pulling out her phone.

Natsu was going to pay for what he did, but she also wanted to reward him for his excellent gift. She typed out a message, a smile quirking her lips as her heart sped up.

You'll get your punishment later.

Lucy bit her bottom lip as she waited for a response, her breath hitching when her phone vibrated in her hand. She looked over it, warmth spreading down her stomach before pulsing between her legs. She wanted to test out that toy as soon as she could, and judging by his message, he wanted the same.

Natsu: I can't wait.


Natsu hissed in pain when the end of the riding crop hit his bare ass. He clenched his teeth, body tensing as he let the sting set in. "Fuck," he mumbled, head falling forward when Lucy rubbed her soft fingers over the spot, caressing his ass as her lips ghosted over his back.

He was standing, arms raised above his head in the handcuffs she had set up. For the past few months, Lucy had used them on him once or twice when she brought her toys out, showing him just how dominating she could be.

Of course, she had her own limitations. She couldn't do as much since one arm was in a cast. Her other injuries had healed, but the broken arm was still holding her back. However, when he was bound and she was in charge, he couldn't tell she was holding back.

"Do you want another?" she whispered, her voice sinful and thick with lust.

He nodded, pleading as he tried leaning into her touch, only to grunt when she moved away. "Yes!"

He didn't see the next one coming, only feeling the stinging pain when she struck him again, this time on the other cheek. "God! That's good!" he roared, hands clenched into fists as his cock twitched, pre-cum leaking from the tip. He was beyond aroused, loving the pleasurable pain she brought.

"Holy fucking shit!" Natsu groaned as she coiled her hand around his cock, giving him a sudden pump. "Nggh!" She tore her hand away before he could buck, wanting more than she was giving.

He inhaled a sharp breath when he felt her place the tip of the riding crop against the base of his back, feeling her delicately trail it up his spine, causing him to shiver. She leaned in, pressing her chest against him as she moaned, "Such a naughty boy, bringing me something so dirty to work."

Her words made him growl, enjoying that dominating side of hers. He didn't surrender control to anyone before he met Lucy, but she could take the reins if she continued to make him feel that good.

Lucy moved the riding crop around to his front side, dragging it against his thigh before brushing it against his erection. He knew she wouldn't hit him there, but the threat in his head made him gasp.

Lucy took her sweet time as she pulled away, her good arm stretching so she could unlock the handcuffs above his head. They were designed to release when she pressed a button, the resounding click making his anticipation build.

"I think you've been punished enough," Lucy started, releasing his second hand.

Natsu almost protested, wanting to say he liked it when she struck him, but he had to admit his wrists were getting a little sore. He knew his back and ass were red from her whipping him, but it was worth it. The pain was erotic, increasing his blood flow and releasing more endorphins. The rush of pleasure he felt when he was at her mercy was enough to leave him wanting more.

Turning to face her, Natsu saw the smirk resting on Lucy's face, wondering what she was up to.

"I think it's time for your reward."

His fingers twitched by his side, his body flooded with heat and desire. Despite his excitement, Natsu had to ask, "Reward for what?" As far as he knew, he fucked up by giving her that gift at work. He didn't count on her being happy he got it for her in the first place.

Lucy turned, bending over to give him a great view of her ass. She was just as naked as him, allowing him to see her glistening lower lips peeking out between her thighs as she reached into the bottom drawer of the dresser in the corner. She stood, turning around to show Natsu the vibrator he bought her, still in the box.

"I want you to use it on me."

That was all she had to say before he was springing into action, deciding it was his turn to play the dominate role. Lucy giggled as Natsu picked her up with one arm, hoisting her up to carry her to the bed. He carefully placed her in the center of the mattress, grinning as she gasped when he pushed her legs apart. His fingers dug into her supple thighs, letting her feel his raw strength before he leaned down, placing kiss after kiss on her belly before traveling higher.

As he teased her nipples with his devilish tongue, Lucy pulled the vibrator out of the box, fumbling with the plastic and cleaning care instructions before she found the pack of batteries that came with it. Natsu's pulse jumped when he heard the vibrations after she clicked one of the buttons, grinning to himself when she turned it up, testing the different levels.

"Oh wow," she murmured, entranced by the impressive speeds. As much as she wanted to experiment on herself, she wanted to give Natsu that honor more. "Here."

Natsu looked up, seeing her handing the device to him. He got off her, sitting between her legs as he inspected the toy. It wouldn't be the first time he used a vibrator on her, but it was the first time it was one he got. He set it on the lowest vibration, placing it over her wet folds before sliding it along her slit.

Lucy hummed as she relaxed on the bed, letting Natsu take care of her. His free hand wandered over her body while the other directed the vibrator, running it up and down her pussy before focusing on her clit. She caught his wicked grin when she jerked, unable to stop herself from moaning as the toy pulsed against her bundle of nerves. "Oh fuck!"

"You're so damn beautiful," Natsu growled, eyes roaming her squirming body. She flushed under his gaze, her blood running hotter as she leaned into every touch he supplied. She had to be careful, otherwise the fire that was Natsu would end up consuming her.

Sometimes though, she didn't think that would be so bad.

"Aaaahhhhh! Na-Natsuuuu!" Lucy writhed under his ministrations, her thighs tensing as her heart sped up. She let out a pleasured scream when he switched the vibrator to one of the highest settings without warning, causing her to come undone in front of him, unable to stop her ragged breaths as she jerked wildly.

"OH YES! God! Fuck yes! Nnnggh!"

Lucy clenched her teeth before gasping, letting the waves of pleasure crash over her. Her skin tingled as her muscles ached deliciously. She almost thought she couldn't take anymore, but Natsu never relented, guiding her to another orgasm with their new toy.

"N-Natsu! Oh fuck!"

Natsu smirked, loving the way she crumbled under him. He leaned down, licking her breast before popping her nipple into his mouth, letting his tongue swirl around the sensitive bud. She cried out, nails digging into his biceps. He hadn't noticed when she started gripping him with her good arm, too distracted by the lustful look in her eyes and the sheen of sweat clinging to her skin. She was a goddess, and he intended on making her feel that way by worshiping her body.

When they first started using toys, Natsu had been unsure, but he grew used to them quickly after he saw how wild they made Lucy. She had an unbeatable sexual energy about her, and she allowed him to see every part of her, including the way she moved when a toy was used on her. He didn't think she would feel that open with him, but he had earned her trust, and he wasn't going to let her regret that.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" he taunted, grinning when she nodded hard. He decided he wanted to get her off by toy alone. Natsu could satisfy her now, but also let her keep some sexual frustration for Gray later. He was sure Gray would appreciate that.

Natsu pulled away from his delectable girlfriend so he could get into a better position. He handed the vibrator to her, seeing the confusion in her brown eyes. "Play with yourself," was all he said before gripping her thighs, pulling her to the edge of the bed.

She let out a cute yelp, not expecting the change in position. Natsu didn't hesitate to spread her thighs, giving him a great view of her pussy, her lower lips dripping with arousal. He said nothing as he started stroking himself, nodding at her to start.

Lucy's chest flooded with excitement as she realized what he wanted to do. She wet her lips, readjusting herself a bit to get closer to him before leaning back. Her casted arm laid limply over her chest so she could knead a breast while the other hand controlled her vibrator, a guttural moan tearing from her throat when it made contact to her clit. "Fuck!"

"Yeah," Natsu groaned, heat burning his veins as he pumped his thickness, pre-cum making his tight fist wet enough for his movements to be effortless. He grabbed her thigh as he stepped closer, almost hovering over her as he stroked himself to her.

"Nggh!" Lucy couldn't stop herself from getting caught up in the moment. She enjoyed when Natsu was confident, and telling her to masturbate while he touched himself to her was enough to get her fired up. She tweaked a nipple as she moaned, her eyes locked on Natsu's the entire time.

Lucy took pleasure in watching him, and judging by how hard his cock was, Natsu enjoyed watching her just as much. She didn't hold back her moans, letting them stroke his ego much like he stoked his cock. She wanted him to fuck her hard with it, but she had to admit, she loved what they were doing a lot. It was too fun to pass up, the temptation to be naughty together overpowering her.

"Rub yourself against me?" she begged, moving the vibrator up a bit, giving him access.

Natsu groaned before leaning in, running the tip of his cock against her entrance. He could feel the vibrations, though they were faint. He didn't bother stopping himself from thrusting into her core a few times, loving the choked sobs escaping her as he filled her. He didn't finish inside her, instead pulling out so he could continue touching himself. He was so much slicker with Lucy's arousal clinging to his cock, pulling a deep groan from him as he tightened his grip.

Lucy whined at the loss of contact, but her moans never stopped. They increased as she changed the speed of the vibrations, setting it to the highest level. She was a goner after that, her back arching as she screamed. "OH GOD YES!" His name spilled from her lips, making his blood boil and his muscles tense.

Natsu's breath hitched as she writhed. He stroked himself faster while trailing his free hand over her body. She was gorgeous, body twisting and jerking as pleasure racked her. His hand gave the head of his cock fast and purposeful touches, allowing him to come faster than he planned. "Damn!"

Natsu cursed as he came, his cum spurting over her hand, vibrator, and stomach before he was able to direct himself, his next shot landing on her glistening pussy. "Fuck, that's good!"

He gave himself long, slow strokes as he emptied everything he had to offer on Lucy, a feral growl ripping from his throat when Lucy turned the vibrator down low before rubbing his cum over her pussy with it. He wished he had a picture of the moment, but his memory would have to do. Natsu's hand smoothed over her skin as he watched her coat herself with his cum, her eyes almost sparkling with glee. He knew she liked things dirty, and that face meant he made her happy.

Natsu couldn't help but smile, letting out a chuckle as he placed both hands on her thighs, thoroughly exhausted yet satisfied. "That was awesome."

Lucy's eyes lit up more as she nodded, a lazy grin spreading over her face as she struggled to get up. He could see she was tired as well, but she managed to get up with his help. "Yeah it was."

Natsu didn't think much about it as he leaned down, capturing her lips in a soft kiss before pulling back. She lingered before realizing he wasn't going to continue. With a sigh, she streched, accepting their fun together was over.

They moved about the bedroom, grabbing and exchanging clothes to get dressed. "We need to do that again," Lucy said, slipping on her soaked panties. They had been wet since she got her gift from Natsu, her anticipation and excitement keeping her aroused for hours until they could be alone.

Natsu nodded, not minding one bit. "Yeah, absolutely."

He tossed on his shirt and jeans, letting his shoes sit there while he walked over to Lucy. Her back was turned to him, unaware of the amused grin sliding on his face. He gently placed his hands on her waist, feeling her freeze under his touch in surprise. When she started relaxing, he struck, fingers devilish as he tickled her sides, laughing as she started squirming.

"Natsu!" she screamed, her own laughter shining through her confusion. "Ahhh! What are you— Gah!"

Natsu snickered as he tickled her, loving the way she wiggled. She turned her head sideways, revealing her large smile. Seeing as she wasn't upset, he continued, chuckling when tears started clinging to the corner of her eyes.

Lucy was very ticklish, and he started taking advantage of that lately. In fact, the more comfortable they got with each other, the more they shared casual touches. He loved where they were in their relationship now, and he hoped it wouldn't come to an end anytime soon. He was having too much fun with Lucy.

Natsu finally released her when he thought she had enough. Her face was beet red from laughing so much, and she still needed to get dressed. He chuckled as he made his way across the room, snatching his socks and shoes while Lucy recovered from the tickle session. She shook her head as she caught her breath, but she didn't scold him for his childish behavior. In fact, she had a content little smile on her face, and that only made Natsu's chest boom with warmth he couldn't quite describe.

Instead of dwelling on it, Natsu finished getting ready before they left the room, heading towards the kitchen. He thought they would part ways like normal, but once Natsu caught a glimpse of dark hair in the dining room, he knew he couldn't just slip away that easily.

"Hey Gray," he said, catching said man's attention.

Gray looked over his shoulder at Natsu before giving him a nod. "Hey."

Natsu glanced at the laptop in front of Gray, realizing he was doing work. He knew Gray had been busy lately, but he hoped they could still hang out soon. They had plans that Friday, and he would hate to postpone them. However, if Gray had to cancel, Natsu would understand. Gray and Lucy were busy people, and their careers were high on their priorities.

Gray turned back to his computer, one hand fishing in an open bag of chips by his computer as his other hand typed something. "We still on for the movies Friday?"

Natsu grinned, seeing Gray was still planning on hanging out with him. He had fun with Gray, enjoying his company and conversations. "Yup."

Natsu and Lucy didn't see Gray's smile as he nodded. "Cool. See ya then."

Natsu looked at Lucy, giving her good arm a soft squeeze before pulling away. "Thanks for inviting me over. See you tomorrow."

Lucy gave him a nod as he backed away, watching as he headed towards the front door. "Drive safe."

"Thanks. Have a good night, both of ya."

"You too," Lucy called while Gray said, "G'night."

Once Lucy heard the door close behind Natsu, she sauntered over to Gray, bending down so she could rest her chin on his shoulder. She glanced at his computer, seeing he was going over some spreadsheets. "I wish you didn't have to bring your work home," she whispered, coiling her arms around his chest.

Gray sighed, leaning back to press his cheek against hers. "I know, but it has to get done."

She nodded, knowing all-too-well what that was like. People demanded and expected so much out of them because of their positions at their companies, but sometimes it wore them thin.

"Were we being too loud?" Lucy asked, hoping they didn't distract him from his work.

Gray shook his head, grabbing her hand to lead it towards his crotch. Her fingers gripped his erection on impulse, moaning at the hardness concealed in his pants. She knew he got off on the stories she told about her and Natsu, but she didn't expect him to get so aroused listening to them playing within earshot.

Lucy turned her head, burying her nose into her husband's neck before breathing him in. "Please say you can take a break?" She had fun with Natsu, but she really wanted to be fucked.

Natsu had only teased her with a few thrusts, but she would be lying if she said she didn't want to feel that warmth inside after he finished. She still had Natsu's cum smeared against her body, but after talking with Gray in the past, she knew he didn't mind that one bit. In fact, it always seemed to turn him on.

Gray nodded, saving his work before closing his laptop. "What do you wanna do?"

Lucy hummed, stroking over his cock, wishing her other arm wasn't so useless, otherwise she could undo his pants easily. She didn't mind making him wait too much. It was fun teasing him.

Gray on the other hand, didn't want to wait. Once he finished with his laptop, he turned, capturing her lips while he unbuttoned his pants. He groaned when her hand wrapped around his cock, giving him slow, sensual strokes before pulling him out of his pants.

Lucy ended the kiss, her tongue dragging against his lips before meeting his hungry gaze. "Do you want to use my new toy on me later?" she asked, her voice breathy as she pumped his cock.

Gray grinned, taking a shaky breath. "The one Natsu gave you?"

She nodded, seeing lust fill his dark blue eyes. "Would you like that?"

Her answer came in a fierce kiss, one that stole her breath away. Her knees almost buckled as she leaned into him, wanting to take his mind off work for a while. He deserved a break after working so hard.

Gray was the one to break away from her swollen lips the next time, his mouth covering her neck to leave slow, soft kisses up and down her throat, just the way she liked. She was putty in his hands in no time, moaning as his lips and tongue moved against her sensitive skin.

"Bedroom?" she asked, eyes shut and mouth parted as she breathed heavily, loving how attentive he was to her needs.

Lucy thought when Gray pulled back he would usher her to head to the bedroom, but instead, he said something she wasn't expecting. "I um," he started, brows furrowing in concentration. "I was actually wanting to talk to you about something..."

Lucy blinked, concern rising in her chest as she pulled back a few inches. "What's up?"

Gray hesitated, his voice rough as he whispered, "It's... about Natsu..."

Lucy bit her inner cheek, not wanting to show too much of a reaction. Despite that, she couldn't conceal her small frown, worried Gray might say he wanted her to break up with him. She enjoyed Natsu's company, and she wasn't ready to let him go just yet. However, if Gray asked her to, she would end things with Natsu immediately.

"It's nothing bad," he said, noticing her shift in mood.

Her shoulders relaxed as she nodded, relief washing over her. Gray was still good with Natsu, but that fact left her with a question. "What about him?"

Slowly, a soft blush worked its way onto Gray's cheeks. He kept her gaze, but to her, it looked as if he was embarrassed to do just that. When he opened his mouth, he paused, his teeth grinding for a moment before he took a deep breath. "I uh... I was actually wanting to try something with him."


Thank you for reading! This chapter was added just recently. I wanted to show how Lucy's recovery is going, as well as setting up the story line for the next chapter that way it didn't just come out of nowhere. The first almost-threesome is next! I really hope you enjoy it!
