Oi! I'm back with another chapter for y'all, and this time I actually set the chapter up the day before to drop today. Yay, me. *pats self on back* But anyway I'm gonna see y'all at the end of this chapter.

Chapter 10

Lucy P.O.V.

I stand and we enter the elevator with Wendy, who hits the button for two floors up. As we ride, Wendy asks nervously, "Heart, will we have to move again?"

Looking ahead and preparing myself for interrogation I answer quietly, "I don't know, Wendy, not until we find out what this guy knows."

She nods, and when the doors open, she guides us down a hall of cells that only have a small barred window in the door to see out of. As we walk by we can hear groans and moans of pain coming through a couple of the windows.

At the last cell on the left, Wendy stops and punches in a code before opening the door to reveal Millianna leaning on the wall in one corner, while Romeo leans on the wall closest to the table of torture weapons laid out in an orderly way.

Walking in, I turn to the Heel leaders. "Millianna, Kagura, you are excused."

Wendy walks over and stands next to Romeo, as Natsu shuts the doors behind the ladies when they leave.

Looking over at the trainees, they take on poker faces and nod, so I walk over to the table with the instruments as Natsu walks to the bound man.

In a low bass he asks, "What do you know about Salamander and Heart?"

The man sneers. "Like I'll tell you shit,"

Natsu tips the man's chair back, and I pick up a gallon of gas, pouring it over his face. He chokes and gags for fifteen seconds, eyes pinched shut, before I finally give him some relief and put the stopper in. Natsu lets the chair fall straight as I set the canister down and cross my arms over my chest, never losing my expression of neutrality and indifference.

"What do you know about Salamander and Heart?" Natsu repeats in a commanding tone.

"Rumors springing up from Clover Town to Crocus say they went into hiding." The man sputters.

Switching places with Natsu, I ask in a sickly sweet voice, "Where did you hear the rumors?"

He laughs. "Like I'll tell a dumb bitch like you."

I hold out my hand, and feel the knife Natsu presses into it. I tell the man, "For every insult you give me, I make two slices. Now, let's see, where do I make the first cuts... ah, I know,"

I walk around behind the chair and make a cut right above each shoulder blade, enjoying his cries of pain. Then I ask again, "Where did you hear the rumors?"

"Go fuck your mother,"

My eye twitches and Natsu steps forward, taking the knife from me before I can slice the fucker's throat.

Instead, he trades out the dagger for a butcher knife and says, "I was gonna wait for this one, but since you just said that you lose a couple of fingers."

He walks over and swings the knife cutting off the man's index fingers. "Where did you hear the rumors?"

After the screams die down he rasps, "I heard them from Blue Pegasus, the trimen team."

Natsu exchanges a glance with Romeo, who then quietly leaves the room, but returns a few minutes later.

Natsu tosses me a knife and grabs the trainees to exit the room as I walk over to the guy. "Now, what was that you said about my mother?"

Natsu P.O.V.

After Romeo returns, I toss Luce the knife and grab the trainees then leave the room.

"Sir, why are we leaving?"

I look at Romeo as the screams start and advise, "If you don't want a painful death, never say anything rude about Heart's mother."

By the time we reach the elevator the screams are reaching a soprano and Wendy has to cover her ears to block them out since her hearing is as good as mine.

The elevator doors close, blocking out the screams, and I turn to the trainees. "How did you two enjoy your first interrogation?" A range of emotions cross their faces and I feel a bit of pity for them as I remember my first interrogation. "Don't worry, you get used to it, but it's not like you're gonna do it everyday."

Relief shows on their faces and Romeo asks, "Are we gonna be there for each one?"

I nod. "I assume Heart has already told you about the plans we have for you?"

Wendy nods and Romeo says, "Wendy told me over dinner."

"Then you should know that the interrogations are part of the training," I advise as the elevator doors open to Kagura and Millianna's office to show them sitting at their chairs working on the holoscreens.

When they see us, they shut off the screens and stand as Millianna states, "Titania is already organizing the hunt for the trimen, where is Heart?"

I sit in a chair and pull up the cameras for the interrogation room to show a bloody mess and Millianna says, "Right, we'll send a group down to clean it up."

Looking up as the elevator dings, I watch as Luce steps out with a grim face. "Millianna, we're going home for the night. Let us know when they track the trimen down?"

The leaders nod, and I shut the screen off, standing and walking to the elevator, the trainees not a step behind. Kagura walks with us.

When we get back to the house I open the door to find the lights on low and Mira reading a novel with Plue lying at her feet, looking at us.

Mira looks up when I throw the keys on the table next to the door. "Oh, you're back, how did the interrogation go... oh, okay, I see."

She stops when she sees Luce and I say tiredly, "She-Devil, it's late, we'll talk in the morning. For now, though, you can crash in the spare room that's down the hall next to the bathroom."

She nods and walks down the hall while the four of us walk up the stairs to our rooms.

When Luce hops into the shower I change into a pair of shorts and sit on the edge of the bed to wait for her to come out. When she finally does come out I stand and walk over to her. "What's the matter, Luce? You've been quiet the whole way back."

She sighs as she runs her brush through her hair. "I don't know, Natsu. I love the crew and I love the company, but now I'm worried about the girls." Turning around she says, "We went into hiding to protect them, and now they're close to finding us."

I wrap my arms around her. "Luce, we can return home after the last of the Tartaros phantoms are gone, you know that just as well as I do. When we return we'll have the wedding, you'll finally be my wife, and we have two beautiful daughters as proof of just how much I love you."

She turns around in my arms and lays her head on my chest."Do you remember what I used to say to you every night, when I would sneak over to your house after your parents went to bed?" I whisper.

"That no matter what trouble our crews would be in, you would always be there to stomp them out and protect me." Her voice is quiet as she replies.

I lay my chin on her head. "And that still holds true to this day. Since we found each other, I haven't let you fall, and I'll be there to hold you and the girls up."

"Natsu, I don't want the girls growing up without their mother, growing up without mine was bad enough."

"Nothing's gonna happen, I won't let it."

She looks up at me and I lean my forehead against her's staring into the dark chocolate depths of her eyes.

I lean down and capture her lips with mine, and it's not long before she's leaning into it. When I feel my lungs start to burn I pull away and growl, "Bed, now."

The lust in her eyes is enough for me to become rock hard as I watch her walk to the bed, the entire time her hips sway enticingly.

When she sits on the bed I grab her wrists in one hand and raise them above her head before, again, capturing her lips.

I run my tongue along her bottom lip, begging for entrance, and when she denies me I reach with my other hand and roughly grab her breast, causing her to gasp. Taking my chance, my tongue sweeps into her mouth, quickly drawing a low moan from her.

When her hips buck against me I groan, and letting go of her wrists, rip her, or more like my, shirt off of her.

Leaning forward I kiss along her jaw, down her neck, stopping to bite her skin hard enough to leave a bruise and drag my tongue across it then resuming my journey.

When she drags her nails across my scalp, I hiss at the painful pleasure that courses through straight to my dick, making my shorts feel constricting.

Her back arches when I lightly drag my teeth across her nipple.

"N-Natsuuu,"

When she calls my name, I clamp down on her nipple while I pinch and roll the other between my fingers.

She whines when I pull away, but I can't help but get a chance to take her in when she's like this: a panting, writhing, mess beneath me.

I lean down and kiss her while my fingers make quick work of untying her pajama pants. I lean down, pulling the pants with me until I pull them off completely, and toss them across the room.

"My, my, Luce, already so wet for me." I murmur.

I look up from where I sit in between her legs to see her wearing an all-too-innocent expression I've become used to seeing. So, instead of speaking on the issue of her lacking of underwear for me to tear off, I drag my tongue up her slit, enjoying her moan of pleasure.

"Natsu, please,"

I sit up until my head is laying on her stomach, enjoying the fact that she's resorted to begging.

"What, babe?"

Her head turns to the side when I barely rub a finger along her lips.

"Please, just eat me already,"

I grin and lay back down as she wraps her thighs over my shoulders.

When I spear her with my tongue, a hand falls to her mouth to try and muffle her shouts. Though that fails when her fingers wrap themselves in my hair.

Her moans spur me on as I sink two fingers into her drenched pussy, her walls pulsing around them. I run my tongue over her clit and her walls practically clamp down on my fingers as they thrust into her at an ever quickening pace.

"N-Natsu… I'm c-clo.. oh..se!"

At her words, I push a third finger into her and lean up take her nipple in my mouth, causing her to shatter.

While she lays there, panting, I divest myself of my shorts and crawl back up to capture her lips.

She wraps her legs around my waist and I hiss when her soaked folds slide against me.

"I'm gonna fuck you senseless,"

The look she gives me says it all, but I want to hear it from her; I will never hurt her on purpose.

"Then fuck me, make me forget everything but you."

I almost purr at her words, but instead I thrust into her, hard enough for the bed to shake.

I grab her hip with one hand, and reaching up with the other, grab a handful of her hair, causing her to scream my name loud enough for my ears to ring.

When a shiver travels down my spine I know I'm close, so I let go of her hair in favor of reaching down and stroking her clit, her walls clamping down tight on me as she goes over the edge. Her walls squeezing so tight it's almost painful as she screams out my name, but it's enough to push me over the edge, too, and I call out her name as I come.

Panting, I pull out and fall to the side, careful not to crush her as I pull her into my arms. She rolls over so that she's looking me in the eye, and I lean down to kiss her nose.

Nothing is said, because what is there to say? I love this terrifying woman in my arms, with all my heart, and I will do anything to protect her, and our girls.

So, yeah, that happened. Let me tell you right now, Stele didn't even know about this scene until she went to go edit it. Yeah, y'all can kill me now. I'm still cringing at how bad this is compared to others I read.

Anyway, if you're wondering the reason why Stele did not write this is because she's stuck in Sweet Lemon lala land, but that's not what I wanted with this so I went ahead and gave it a try. Like I said, y'all can kill me now.

Now that I have that out of the way, the main story line has taken a turn. It's time to figure out how their position was leaked and that means hunting down the trimen. So buckle up and hold on tight because this ride is about to get a helluva lot bumpier.

In the mean time, if you're a new reader make sure you follow and fave to see more. And will y'all please leave some reviews? I like knowing what y'all think about a chapter and when it's this quiet I start floundering about whether I made the right choice with the story's plot.

Come on, I don't normally beg y'all for anything.

But anyway I gotta go.

Grizzly out for the night.

P.S. Just to give y'all a heads up, I will NOT be doing a Valentine's Day special. Since my birthday is coming up in a few weeks, I will instead be uploading a special on that day. The reason why I'm uploading then instead of Valentine's Day is because the way I see it is that it's a gift for y'all. My birthday but your gift.

If that makes any sense.

If y'all wanna know when my birthday is, it's the 23rd so y'all won't have too much longer to wait on that one.
