Forgive me for not updating sooner. Several things all happening at once, and this just had to wait. My daughter's birthday is soon, so cleaning up for that, my son is starting school next week, so preparing for that. Both kids have been under the weather, so taking care of them. And just my normal day to day responsibilities. I'm currently doing laundry while trying to type this. I'm also attempting to draw a picture to go with this story. But since it's been so long since I've seriously done art, I'm a little rusty and slow.

So forgive me. I promise I will not drop this, as I've seen so many other people do. I may not be able to update every day like some awesome writers I know, but I'm gonna try for at least a weekly update, if not more. I will be faithful to all those who have favorited and followed. Thank you for those who have done so, and for those who have reviewed as well. You guys help me, and motivate me to continue telling my tale. As always I appreciate honest critiques. I know my writing style is sometimes inconsistent with first person vs third. I hope as I continue to write I will get better at that.

So without further delay, here is my next chapter. It has a title! Isn't that exciting? And as it implies, there is a mini-lemon. Not detailed and drawn out, but it's there. This is that kind of story after all. It's gonna go further and further down that little bunny trail. Should I give warnings every time? (yes there will be more than one) I mean it's rated M, and it's states in the summery adult themes. So people are coming in expecting it correct? I can give warnings each time if people want me too, otherwise I'm just gonna write my story.

As usual Hiro Mashima is the sole owner of "Fairy Tail"

Chapter 5 - Wet Dreams

Both of their POV's

The next morning Lucy found herself in a fairly awkward position. She was completely trapped. Natsu had his hands wrapped around her and a leg draped over her as well. She was trying very hard to Not enjoy the feeling of being in his arms. No, not a good idea at all she decided. Especially after the erotic dream she had about a certain dragon slayer last night. Her faced turned red as she remembered it.

He pushed her against the wall. Ravishing her mouth as he forcefully lifted her legs around his waist. Grinding against her. She moaned with wanton abandon. Violently ripping her shirt off of her, and attacked her breasts in the same manner he had attacked her mouth. Her moans had gotten louder and echoed in the room. "More" she cried out. Treating her skirt to the same treatment as her shirt, it too was cast away in the fervor of their passion. He forcefully entered her, pumping in and out of her almost out of control and she felt nothing but sweet, sweet ecstasy.

"Those are not the kind of dreams one should be having about their best friend." She thought to herself. She was a virgin for crying out loud! If she was going to have erotic dreams, shouldn't candlelight and rose petals be involved? Up against a wall? Ripping her clothes off? It just sounded so low class in her mind. Not that her dream self-had seemed to mind at all. She was feeling a little over warm at the moment, and figured that Natsu was most likely not the direct problem this time. Just her dirty thoughts.

"Time for me to wake up" she decided. And proceeded to try to slip out from under Natsu. Emphasis on the "try". Not only did it not work, since trying to move him was the equivalent to trying to move boulders, but he tightened his hold on her too boot! Now she was starting to get a little annoyed. "What is with this situation?" She was completely entrapped. "Hey, Natsu" she said softly. He didn't even flinch. "Natsu" She said a little louder. She started wiggling a little more forcefully, trying to loosen his hold, when she felt … something.

Something hard was poking her side. She stopped wiggling, and confusedly tried to figure out what it could be. Not an elbow, his arms are wrapped around me. His knee perhaps? Didn't feel wide enough to be a knee. She testingly bumped against it, and it seemed to grow, move a little. What the hell is it? She lowered her hand down to touch it, and to say she was shocked and embarrassed would be quite an understatement. She had just felt Natsu's hardened penis! She quickly snatched her hand away. Her face heated up so much, that she wouldn't have been surprised if she had burst into flames. Holy shit, holy shit! She had to get out of this bed now. She tried pushing him away again more forcefully, but she felt "it" again more pronouncedly. "NATSU!" She said a little louder than she had initially wanted to, but she was borderline full panic mode.

"Mmmm?"

"You need to let go of me right now." She said while pushing his arm.

"Don't wanna. Comfy." As he snuggled closer, undoing what little she had done in trying to free herself.

"Natsu!" She had done a full fledge scream this time.

He looked down at her tiredly and saw how he had her trapped against her. Instead of looking abashed or ashamed or any other more appropriate emotion he smiled! His big, goofy, heart melting she meant stupid smile! "Sorry Luce, your just so comfortable." He said as he finally released her.

"I am not a pillow you baka!" As she quickly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. Slamming the door behind her.

In the bathroom, her heart was racing. "I molested him again!" She thought frantically. "Oh God, I've turned into a rapist! Bad Lucy, Bad! " She splashed cold water on her face to try and calm her nerves down. She was even more ashamed of herself as she remembered how big it was. The cold water had helped her calm down a bit, when she had a random thought, "Are all penis' that big?" she wondered curiously. And then devilish perverted mind reminded her of her dream again. "Something like that…in her in that kind of way". Her head heated up again.

"AH! Bad Lucy!" She splashed more water on her face.

Natsu had really not wanted to wake up. He'd had a very pleasant dream, involving his favorite blond and the water falls at Tenrou Island. With her calling his name several times. He really did like her skimpy bikini. It was very easy to remove, at least in his dreams. Perhaps there next mission they'll go somewhere super warm so he could see her in it again.

He had really enjoyed waking up with her in his arms too. Taking a moment to crack his neck and stretch his back, he finally noticed his raging hard-on. For him, it was unsurprising. He got one almost every morning, espeiclaly with his Lucy dream last night. He then paused and thought for a minute, remembered how he had her up against him, and blushed a little as he realized why she had been so freaked out. "Whoops." There is no way she didn't notice his morning wood since he had been all over her. He took a moment to focus in on the bathroom, and could hear her muttering to herself. Couldn't make out the exact words since she had the water running, but it didn't take a genius to figure out why she'd be so freaked.

Debating for a second, he came to a safe, healthy decision. "I'm gonna go back to sleep and pretend nothing happened." And that's exactly what he did, hoping for a return trip to the waterfalls.

After quite a bit of time had passed, and Lucy had completely calmed down, she exited the bathroom, ready for the day. In her haste she had forgotten clothes, but did everything else. Liked brushed her teeth, and put on her make-up. As she walked over to where their bags were she noticed Natsu had gone back to sleep. "Good, I can have some more time to compose myself before I talk to him face to face." Turning a little pink as she glanced down and ignored the slightly disappointed feeling of him being under the blanket.

She opened her bags to find everything folded nicely and dried perfectly. She felt so warm and happy right then. She wanted to give him a big kiss on the cheek in thanks. She hadn't actually though Natsu was capable of folding things, at all, let alone so neatly. She really owe him. After last nights frozen fest, she decided that she would listen to Natsu and actually dress warmly.

She pulled out a pair of skin-tight, black pants; a white, tight, long sleeve, turtle neck; and a blue, fitted, low cut, V-neck sweater. She then found her underwear folded neatly at the bottom, and with realization, blushed bright red yet again.

"Oh…My…God…"he had seen her sexy underwear! She was so incredibly embarrassed. Why didn't I remember them last night and hid them someone? Dried them by the fireplace? Something. He'd had his hands all over her underwear! Her thoughts stopped, and she swallowed. Refusing to acknowledge her sinful thoughts, she took her clothes into the bathroom with her. If she had been honest with herself though, she would have realized she really liked the thought of his hands on her underwear.

"Hey Natsu! You waking up sometime today? Don't we have to check out soon?"

I awoke again to Lucy's voice. I don't know how long I had slept for, but she was fully dressed. And actually wearing clothes that covered her body. I would have been slightly disappointed, if it wasn't for the fact that everything clung to her like a second skin. In some ways it was hotter than when she showed off everything, not that he didn't like it when she showed off everything. And I was happy she was being sensible for once.

"What time is it?"

"Almost 10."

He was a little surprised, very rarely did he ever sleep in that late. He was an up with the sun kind of guy generally. But then again, he had been up till about 4 in the morning last night, so he really shouldn't have been surprised. "Okay, I'm up. Check-out is at 11…I think" He quickly got out of bed, and didn't notice how Lucy's face turned bright red at the sight of him in just a pair of boxers.

He started to put his clothes right there.

"Natsu!" She screeched.

"What?" He had one leg in his pants.

"Don't you have any decency? I'm standing right here!"

"Sooo?" He really didn't get it. It's not like he was naked, and she's seen him in shorts before. What did it matter if they were swimming shorts of boxers shorts? The same stuff is covered.

"You shouldn't get dressed in front of a lady!"

"You could just turn around." And he continued getting dressed, ignoring her sputtering. Seriously she was weird. She walked around in clothes that were barely better than underwear, yet yelled at him for putting on clothes?

He finished dressing, and grabbed their bags. When there was a knock at the door. "Geez for 8500 jewels a night, you think they'd at least let you check out when you wanted." Assuming it was the hotel staff there to kick them out. He sincerely hoped it wasn't that lady from last night. He didn't feel like being felt up , by her, again. Now if a beautiful blond would offer….Breathing deeply he opened the door. And saw that it was indeed hotel staff member. Some short dude in a suit. "Damn. You guys don't have to kick us out, we're leaving."

"Uh, sorry sir. That's not what I'm here for. A thousand apologies if that was the impression. We'd never treat our Elite guests in such a manner." He said in an apologetic bow. "I heard from my subordinates that a fire mage was staying here?"

"What of it?" Did that slutty chick say something to get him in trouble?

"We'd like to hire you for the day, sir. Please allow me to enter and discuss it with you sir." Natsu opened the door and ushered the man in.

"Hey Lucy, this is…I don't know but he's got a job for us." Natsu told Lucy. He could tell that she had been getting angry at the idea of possibly being kicked out of the hotel for not checking out on time. Her heartbeat was high and her face was red, and she had scary eyes.

"So, mister, What's the job?" Asking as he turned to face the short man .

"I am President Lory, owner of this hotel. As you are well aware last night we had a pretty nasty storm. The trains cannot leave the station due to ice buildup. Several of us business owners heavily rely on working trains to make a profit and bring in revenue. The station was saying it could take 5-7 days to clear off the tracks. This just won't due. When I overheard a hotel employee referring to a fire mage staying here, I couldn't help but think that perhaps fate was smiling down on me. I've just come from an emergency meeting with several other business owners, and the station and have a proposal for you."

"You want Natsu to melt the ice off the tracks?" Lucy interrupted.

"That is correct madam."

"For how far?"

"The storm wasn't nearly as big as it could have been. Around 10 miles each way should do just fine. Normally we are better prepared with salting and scraping the tracks, but it really the storm came upon us so quickly and violently, that there just wasn't time." He didn't seem to realize that he had just flippantly asked Natsu to melt 20 miles of ice.

Natsu wasn't concerned. He knew he could handle it. "So what are you guys offering for our services."

"If you can finish it today we're prepared to give 100k, and free night here in this room again. If it takes 2 days 70k and this room for 2 nights, 3 days 40k and again use of this room for the duration. 4 days will be 10k. 5 days isn't worth anything since the normal cleaning crews could accomplish it in that time frame."

"Yosh, I'm all fired up! We'll be done by today."

As promised after the rally I went to the hang out room. It was this large lounge with several circular sofas with coffee tables in the middle of them, throughout the room. I mean there were like 9 stations like this. With a lot of space between each couch section. I had brought down some nail polish, deciding to paint my toes while I waited. He came over a few minutes later while I was applying little flower designs to them.

We made small talk for a little while. He actually even asked me about my toe nails. And why I put cotton balls between my toes. Just random small talk, that really wasn't important. I mainly focused more on my toes than I did on him to be honest. Remember I had decided to give up, and looking at him was a little painful for me. The boy I would never have as my own.

He went silent after a little while. And at that point, I was also trying to figure out why he wanted to meet up after the rally. So I finally looked at him, and noticed that he was breathing really hard and wiggling his foot all nervously. "Dude, are you okay?" I asked him with concern. I had never seen him like that before. (He's one of those very stoic men, who don't show emotions easily, and are not easily shaken. He repelled off a mountain in Colorado, with no hesitation and with great speed; that the people running it had wondered how many times he had done it before. We were city kid's, we'd never even seen a mountain let alone jumped off one.) He doesn't show fear, he doesn't show nerves, and so this was very uncharacteristic of him.

He answered "I'm nervous."

I couldn't fathom a single reason as to why that would be. "Of what?" I'll be honest and say I had no clue. I had so thoroughly convinced myself that there was no way this boy would ever want someone like me that his next few words honestly shocked me.

….Aren't I evil. Tune in next time to hear what he said. Whuhahahaha
