As Natsu burst out of the guild he saw Mirajane and Erza, confirming his suspicions that Lucy had returned.
"Hey Natsu" Mira said happily. Erza nodded at him as she hauled her huge cart of luggage behind her.
"Hey, welcome back… Where's Lucy?" Natsu questioned. Her scent clung to them both, so they must have been with her recently.
"Thanks… We just dropped her off at her apartment. She wanted to shower before heading over here" Erza answered. Natsu nodded and starting running toward Lucy's home.
"Thanks!" He yelled behind him.
"Wait Natsu!" Mira tried calling after him but Erza shook her head.
"Let him go, he's obviously really missed her" Erza said, watching him run at full speed toward his best friend. "Besides, you know he won't do anything to her she doesn't want" They smiled at each other as they walked into the guild hall to greet their other friends.
Natsu couldn't wait to reach her, so much so that he was even using his magic to propel him faster down the road to her house. He was so excited as he jumped up to her window like he normally did and entered. His nose told him that Lucy was definitely here, but unfortunately so did something else lower on his body. He groaned as he inhaled her intoxicating scent and lust coiled inside him, then he shook his head furiously. No! He yelled inside his own head. He hadn't seen Lucy in months and he was going to talk to her like normal, without trying to molest her even if it killed him. As Natsu was building his resolve Lucy walked out of the bathroom, dressed in a skimpy towel and nothing else and he groaned internally. She just had to make it that much harder on him, didn't she?
She walked straight for her dresser and didn't notice him sitting by the window. He jumped down, not trying to be quiet but still not making much noise anyway as he approached her. He moved to tap her on the shoulder and shout his hello when all of a sudden she spun around, grabbed his wrist and next thing he knew he was flying face first at a wall. He hit the wall and bounced off with barely time to make a noise of pain before his back was on the floor and she was straddling his waist, the point of a sword against his throat.
"Lucy?" He asked hesitantly. As unusual as the situation was it was incredibly arousing. Her towel was coming loose, threatening to expose her to his gaze while he could feel her naked sex pressing against his abdomen. In addition to that she had managed to catch him completely off guard and get him in such a vulnerable position, which probably excited him much more than it should have. In almost an instant he was hard as a rock and just had to pray she didn't notice.
"Natsu? Dammit why do you never use the door?!" She yelled at him, pulling the sword away from his throat. Natsu was surprised when the sword shrunk down to a delicate looking silver key with the image of a dove on it as Lucy hooked it onto a silver chain around her neck. He wiggled underneath her a bit, fighting the urge to touch her. She gasped as he moved and abruptly got off him, obviously just noticing how intimately she had been pressed against him. Natsu quickly pulled his knees up to disguise the massive tent in his pants.
"S-Sorry" He stuttered, desperately trying to clear his mind and make friendly conversation like normal. He took a deep breath and plastered on one of his signature grins as he sat up "Lucy welcome back! How was training? I can see it's paid off at least!" Natsu said enthusiastically. Lucy was kneeling on the floor, clutching her towel around herself and he could see the blush staining her cheeks. From her scent he also knew she was kind of turned on, but he tried his best to ignore it. She brightened up a bit when he began speaking to her like normal.
"It was… intense. I didn't realise Erza and Mira could be so harsh... Well Erza I did, but not Mira! More than once I thought I was going to die. I learned a lot though, and I'm really grateful to them" Lucy smiled as she got to her feet "I feel stronger now, like I can really help out our team" Lucy moved to grab some clothes and when she turned away from him Natsu discreetly adjusted his pants before he stood and moved out of the way of her dresser.
"Lucy you've always helped our team. Without you we wouldn't even have a team" Natsu said, he spoke honestly. Everyone knew Lucy was the glue that kept their team together. Lucy just laughed.
"Thanks for the support Natsu, but I know my capabilities. I just wasn't up to everyone else's standard of fighting. Even my spirits are stronger now that I've improved" Lucy smiled at him as she walked into the bathroom to get changed.
"In that case you should fight me!" Natsu called out to her through the door. He heard Lucy laughing.
"Okay Natsu, you're on!" Lucy yelled back. Natsu grinned, surprised that she would agree and eager to see her new moves.
"Really? Awesome! When do you want to?" He asked as he began wandering around her room. He heard the door open before he saw her.
"How about now?" She asked. He turned around and could only stare at her gorgeous body clad in hardly any material at all. The tiny skin tight black yoga shorts rode low on her hips and barely covered the delectable lower curve of her ass. Her huge breasts were only partially contained by the dark purple crop top which showed a generous amount of cleavage. As he gazed down her body he also noticed she had gained some serious muscle tone since he'd last seen her. She was still slim and curvy, but he could see the slight feminine muscle definition in her abs and thighs, as well as the curve of her bicep where one of her arms was resting against the bathroom door frame. He was speechless.
"L-Lucy you look… Different" He managed to stutter out. She gave him a strange look.
"Uh… Okay. You didn't answer me though. Do you want to do it now?" Lucy asked again. Natsu blinked, he most definitely wanted to do it now. Now and all night long, in every way possible.
"Umm… what?" Was his response. He just couldn't keep his eyes off her and she smelled so incredibly good.
"Spar? Do you want to spar now? I was planning on working out at the guild gym anyway" Lucy elaborated "Geeze Natsu, what's with you? You're acting weird" She gave him a suspicious glance as she moved to grab a jacket off her bed and shrugged it on. It really did nothing to hide her glorious figure, but at least it covered some of the skin his fingers were itching to touch.
"Sorry, umm. Yeah, let's spar at the guild" Natsu agreed, watching her ass as he followed her out the door of her apartment.
"How have you been anyway? And where's Happy?" Lucy asked casually.
"He's at the guild with Charle and Wendy. I was there but I came over when I found out you were back" Natsu said, glad to have the fresh air around them so that her scent wasn't so concentrated.
"Ah okay. Does that mean you missed me?" Lucy grinned as she asked the question.
"Ah yeah sure… What was your name again?" Natsu scratched his head, pretending he'd forgotten "Luigi?" Lucy laughed and punched him in the arm.
"As if you could forget me, you big jerk" Lucy said confidently.
"That was a super weak punch Lucy, there's no way you're going to beat me with an arm like that" Natsu teased. Lucy huffed.
"Oh yeah? Come on Mr. Tough Guy, let's see what you've got!" Lucy challenged as they walked into the guild hall. Natsu didn't respond because all he could think was that he'd love to show her what he had. Every inch of it...
Lucy waved to everyone as she passed, receiving a chorus of greetings and welcome backs from her friends.
"Luuucy!" Levy cried out, rushing to greet her.
"Levy!" Lucy cried back, they embraced tightly as the other guild members looked on. Suddenly Natsu felt someone nudge his arm and he turned to see Gajeel standing there with an odd expression on his face.
"Is… Is it just me, or does that look so much hotter than usual" Gajeel muttered to Natsu, gesturing to the girls. Everyone knew that Gajeel had a thing for Levy, and with Lucy's curse it was no surprise Gajeel was so affected. Yet as Natsu glanced around he noticed it wasn't just Gajeel who was staring. Lucy had the attention of every man in the guild and she was totally oblivious, wrapped up in her conversation with her close friend. Natsu was surprised at how possessive he felt and he couldn't help but put his arm around Lucy's shoulders.
"C'mon Lucy, you promised me a fight!" Natsu complained, trying to draw her away from the crowd. Lucy frowned and started to object to being dragged away but Levy shook her head.
"It's okay Lu-chan, I gotta run too. You guys have fun though!" She grinned cheerfully, waving goodbye as she left the guild hall. Lucy waved her goodbye as Natsu pulled her toward the gym arena, enjoying having his arm around her much more than she should have. They were alone when they entered the gym and Lucy stripped her jacket off, stretching her limbs to warm up. It may have been her imagination, but she could have sworn she heard Natsu growl softly as she shed the piece of clothing. The sound sent shivers down her spine and she felt that familiar feeling that grew between her legs whenever she thought of Natsu or Gray.
She'd learned more than she'd let on to Natsu from Erza and Mirajane during their time together. The women had taught her so much about her body and the relationship between a man and a woman. They had given her tips on how to find pleasure and comfort with herself, and also shared their experience in seduction. She smiled slowly as she thought back to one of the late night conversations they'd had.
"You know we love you Lucy, and you're gorgeous, but… When you put on that obvious 'I'm being sexy because I want something' attitude it can be a real turn off for some guys" Mira tried to explain kindly. "You've got to be a bit more subtle with it. When you do something seductive, pretend not to notice you're doing it and ignore their reaction as well. It will drive a guy crazy!"
"You shouldn't use your looks to get what you want as well, guys don't really respect girls who do that" Erza advised "When you want something, be strong and take it Lucy. You'll find that most men will think that's even sexier"
Lucy smiled to herself as she realised now was the perfect opportunity to test her newfound insight. She turned her back to Natsu and set her feet shoulder width apart, bending over until her palms were flat on the floor as she stretched her legs out. She smiled to herself when she heard his sharp intake of breath.
"L-Lucy… What are you doing?" Natsu asked. His voice was so low and sexy it sent shivers down her spine.
"Don't mind me, it was a long train ride home and I'm just a little stiff" Lucy said as she shifted her weight between her feet, leaning her hips out to each side one at a time to loosen the joints a bit. She could have sword she heard him mutter something about her not being as stiff as him but she couldn't make out the whole sentence so she dismissed it.
"C'mon Lucy, quit playing around. Let's fight!" Natsu said impatiently. At this moment any excuse to get his hands on her would do.
"Ah fine then. So impatient Natsu, you should learn to take your time a bit more" Lucy complained as she slowly straightened up. Natsu groaned inside his own head, only thinking about how much he'd love to take his time with Lucy's body. Oh god the things he wanted to do to her….
"Ready then? No magic okay?" Was what he actually said. Lucy nodded as she circled around him, clearly scanning for a weakness in his defense. He watched her move, seeing the way her muscled tensed as she stepped, waiting for a telltale sign of attack. Then he thought about the way those same muscles would tense in her thighs as she rode him, and how he'd trace those faint lines of her abs as he reached up to cup her breasts. All of a sudden he felt a hard fist impact his sternum and knocked the wind out of him.
"Pay attention Natsu, what are you doing zoning out in the middle of a fight?" Lucy scolded. Natsu growled as he launched his counter attack, but Lucy dodged with surprising speed. Natsu smiled, impressed with the way Lucy moved as they attacked and dodged in turn. He watched her now with appreciation for her strength, even as she ducked his fist and landed two solid blows to his abdomen. On her next swing he used her own force against her, grabbing her wrist and yanking her forward so the top of her chest collided with his other forearm at the same time he hooked one of his legs behind hers. He followed through with his body, slamming her to the ground so she was flat on her back and he was on one knee beside her. He winced when he heard her slight moan of pain, hoping he hadn't been too rough when suddenly one of his legs was kicked out to the side so he lost his centre of gravity and fell when she tackled him. He groaned, not because it hurt but because she'd moved to straddle his abdomen and pin his wrists down on the floor on either side of his head. Her breasts were so close to his face, moving up and down as Lucy breathed heavily.
Natsu's self-control snapped. He used his superior strength to roll them over until he was on top and silenced her cry of protest by crushing his lips to hers. He felt her tense under him for a second before she relaxed, her body melting against his. She opened her mouth willingly for his tongue and he kissed her with every bit of emotion that had been bottled up inside him since she left.
Lucy couldn't believe what was happening. In her head she knew she shouldn't be doing this, but she just couldn't bring herself to deny him. Even more than that she couldn't deny herself the pure thrill of Natsu's lips on hers. The man kissed like a freaking God and its sheer intensity had her heart racing and warmth flooding between her legs. He ground his hips against hers and she almost came on the spot. With a sudden burst of confidence she flipped them over again, straddling his hips. Natsu sat up on the mat to continue the passionate kiss, running his hands up and down her back before settling on her hips to push her harder against the massive erection she could clearly feel nestled against her most sweetest spot. Lucy decided to show him a bit of her own passion as she took control of the kiss, biting his bottom lip wantonly before sealing her mouth over his again. She reveled in his responding growl of pleasure. She desperately needed to feel more of him so she began pushing his vest off his shoulders. He obliged her, letting the item fall to the ground as Lucy raked her nails up his back and shoulders roughly while rolling her hips against him. Natsu growled again as he reached up to grab her skimpy crop top, literally about to rip the offending item off her body when all of a sudden they were interrupted.
"Ahem… Geeze guys, get a room." They heard a voice say. He felt Lucy practically launch herself away from him as she stared at Romeo, Macao's teenage son, who was walking out of the room awkwardly. She looked back at Natsu, an expression of guilt and horror on her face.
"I-I'm sorry" She stuttered before jumping to her feet and sprinting out of the room, and probably out of the guild, at top speed.
"FUCK!" Natsu cursed at himself as he flopped back hard against the floor mat, knowing he had to give her time to process what just happened. Damn it how could he have been so stupid? He should have known better than to practically attack Lucy in a public room at the guild, where anyone could walk in. He just couldn't take it anymore. He'd literally felt like he could not live another second without his mouth on hers and he cursed himself again. He felt like such a scumbag for surprising her with that, yet no one could deny she'd been just as into it as he was. Natsu took a deep breath and sighed in pleasure as he inhaled Lucy's lingering scent before slowly getting to his feet. He leaned down to grab his vest from the floor and as he shrugged it on he vowed to himself that he would never pull a stunt like this again with her.
Next time, I'll wait for her to come to me…
