Hey guys! Sorry for not posting for a few days. Life has been busy. So many birthdays, so little time to write. I'm going to still be busy since work is picking up again as well, but hopefully I'll be able to post again before the weekend! Thank you for all the wonderful comments that have been left! Keep leaving those! :D Can't wait to write more and share it with you guys! :)

As soon as Lucy felt Natsu bite her, she could feel warmth flowing through her veins. Almost like the heat of fire, but it wasn't burning her. Every bit of coldness left her body and she felt stronger. After the pain went away, she pushed herself up on her elbows and looked down at where Natsu was, seeing her new momento right next to his face.

"I love it."

Natsu didn't say a word as his instincts took over. He started massaging and kissing around her slit. Teasing her by briefly licking just the outside and blowing hot air onto It.

"Natsu... Would you just do it already?" She moaned, throwing her head back, trying to get him to stop teasing her. She bucked her hips, trying to get him to enter her core.

Fulfilling her wish, Natsu plunged his tongue deep inside her. Lucy let out a small moan as she could feel him deep inside her. She arched her back in pleasure. While still tounging her, Natsu brought up his thumb and found her clit, slowly rubbing it in a circular motion. Waves of pleasure running inside Lucy every few moments, she cried out Natsu's name.

Natsu switched his hand and his mouth, slowly inserting one finger while licking Lucy's clit. He moved his finger in and out, slowly, searching inside with it every time he pressed it in. After a few moments, and a few moans from Lucy, he inserted two fingers. Feeling her walls stretch to his touch, he started pumping his fingers in and out slowly again, finding her g-spot.

"Natsu..." Lucy let a moan escape her mouth.

"You're really tight Luce, it feels amazing." He mumbled into her core, still licking her clit. His hot breath turning her on even more.

"I-I'm g-going to..." She moaned, arching her back. One hand grasping at his head, pushing him farther into her center. Her other hand grabbing the sheets.

Lucy screamed out in ecstasy as she reached her climax, her walls clamping down around Natsu's hands. Her whole body filled with tremors, her legs nearly crushing his head as they clamped shut. He grabbed her legs and pinned the to the bed as he licked up the juices that came flowing out from her.

Finally coming down from her high, Lucy's body relaxed. Natsu started kissing his way back up to her mouth, stopping and spending sometime at her very sensitive nipples, massaging and sucking on them. Lucy let out small whimpers from the pleasure the sensitivity was bringing her.

"That was amazing Natsu." Lucy said, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him in for a kiss.

"Anything for my love." He smiled during their kiss, causing Lucy to let out a small chuckle.

Natsu rolled off of her and laid on his back, pulling Lucy into him, her head on his left pectoral muscle, her arm draped across his stomach. He placed his arm around her and pulled her in for a side hug, kissing the top of her head. Lucy fell asleep in his arms with Natsu playing with her hair. Eventually, Natsu also drifted off to sleep.

The pair woke up to loud banging on their door. Lucy quickly looked at her clock and realized that it was time to go meet with their client. So it was probably Erza at the door.

"Shit." Lucy mumbled to herself. She quickly got up and grabbed her clothes, throwing them on as quickly as possible, then opened the door to a very upset Erza. "H-Hey Erza." Lucy timidly said.

"Why are you not ready yet? It is time to go."

"I-"

"It doesn't matter. You have five minutes to get yourself dressed and downstairs before we leave you behind. And tell the same thing to Natsu. He isn't answering his door." Erza cut Lucy off before she could come up with some reason as to why she was late.

"Okay." Lucy shut the door, leaning her back up against it and letting out a massive sigh, relieved that she didn't have to tell Erza anything.

She ran over to the bed, shaking Natsu and calling out his name, trying to wake him up. He finally started to stir under the sheets, opening his eyes groggily.

"What is it Luce?" He rubbed his eyes. Then pulling her into his arms.

"We are late! If we don't get downstairs in... FOUR MINUTES! Ahhhh. Erza is so going to kick our butts!" Lucy pounded against his chest as she spoke to him.

Natsu jumped out of bed, forgetting he was completely naked. Lucy screamed at the sight of Natsu exposed, covering her eyes with her hands, taking a not-so-subtle peek at him through her fingers. He ran to his room and got dressed quickly, coming back and hoisting Lucy over his shoulder.

"Natsu! Put me down!" Lucy kicked and pounded her fists into his back.

"No. You're too slow."

Frustrated, she gave up and let him carry her down to the lobby of the inn to a very frustrated Erza and a worried Gray and Wendy.

"We're here!" Lucy said as Natsu finally put her on the floor.

"Took you long enough." Erza said crossing her arms in front of her chest.

The team gave them questioning looks, but left to go meet with the client at their mansion without asking any questions of the pair. The mission was to drive away monsters that had recently been attacking the city, grabbing people and taking them into the forest. The monsters looked like wolves that could walk on their two hind legs, leaving their front paws open to attack or snatch people. Natsu was just excited to punch things. Gray was ready to punch Natsu. They waited until dusk before heading out to the edge of the forest where the monsters would appear from.

As soon as the sun set, a fog rolled out from the forest, enveloping the team in it's haze. Lucy started shaking with fear as Natsu let his hands burst into flames, giving off a warm glow to the surrounding area. Suddenly, the monsters started appearing through the fog. They noticed the team and started to rush towards them, snarls escaping their mouths, their fangs glistening from the light of Natsu's flames. Gray and Erza were back to back taking down the hideous monsters left and right. Wendy was using her wing attack and taking out two or three at a time, stopping to heal anyone who got seriously hurt. Charle was by her side, flying her out of hopeless situations and slapping a monster here and there whenever she could.

Natsu was flying above the fray thanks to Happy, throwing punches from above to unsuspecting monsters. He kept stealing glances over at Lucy to make sure that she was alright. Every time he looked he saw her with a different stellar spirit. First it was Loke, and he felt a deep jealousy build up in his chest. Then it was Taurus, swinging his ax left and right, nearly taking Lucy's head off with it if she hadn't ducked in time.

During the fight, everyone kept to themselves aside from Wendy who ran to heal anyone who became wounded. They were all confident that the others could take care of themselves. The fight continued for about half an hour before the fog lifted and the monsters disappeared, letting out one last howl, followed by fading snarls as they retreated. The team fell to the ground, exhausted and nearly out of magic power. Natsu sat up and looked to where Lucy was for most of the battle.

"Lucy?" He called out.

No answer.

"LUCY" He yelled, cupping his hands around his mouth to amplify the sound.

Still no answer.

"Guy's! Where's Lucy!?" He quickly ran over to the rest of the group and asked frantically.

"What? She was fighting over there." Gray pointed to about a hundred feet away. But there was no Lucy. "Huh? She was there last I saw." He shrugged his shoulders towards Natsu.

The team got up and started calling for Lucy, but there was never an answer. Natsu started getting worried, punching trees and setting things on fire to take out his frustration. Wendy tried to calm him down by saying that they would find her and she was most likely all right.

"It is not alright!" He angrily yelled, blasting a rock into smithereens. "I promised her I would look after her. That I would protect

her!" Tears nearly falling from his eyes.

"Natsu, we will find her." Erza came over and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Natsu shook his shoulder, removing Erza's hand, and walked away from the group, his flames growing brighter from his frustration. Right as Natsu was about to blast through another tree, he felt something.

It was fear. But not his fear. He was confused for a second before he realized that it was Lucy's fear. He had completely forgotten that he had marked her. He could feel her emotions. He knew where she was. Even if he couldn't smell her, he could follow the feeling he got, and wherever it was stronger than before is one step closer to where she was. Natsu turned around to the rest of the group who were still frantically searching the surrounding area, a newfound hope burning in his eyes.

"Guys! I know where she is."
