"Dammit Natsu I can take this anymore!" Gray yelled in frustration. Natsu's brow twitched in annoyance, but he kept his smile plastered on as he posed for yet another picture with a festival goer during his shift at the photobooth. As soon as the picture was taken Natsu snapped back.

"Do you think it's any easier for me?" Natsu growled "If I have to wait much longer I'm going to fucking explode" Natsu wasn't lying. When Lucy was around he literally felt like he would combust into flames if he had to keep from touching her.

"Well it was your stupid suggestion to wait for her to come to us" Gray accused as he paced back and force next to the makeshift picture stand with the backdrop of Tenrou Island. "I should just go see her right now".

"She's not a piece of meat of meat you cold hearted dick bag. She should be able to make this choice without us putting pressure on her" Natsu snapped again. Gray's temper flared, but as much as it irked him Natsu was right. Lucy was his friend, she deserved better than the way he was thinking about her.

"Well I don't fucking know what to do then. We can't keep going like this" Gray growled "You know as well as I do if we keep going on missions with her we're going to end up getting someone killed from being so distracted" Natsu sighed. He'd been thinking of this for a while and the only solution he'd found would be to split up their team until they figured it out. He couldn't do it though, just the thought of it broke his heart and he knew Lucy would be crushed if they even suggested it.

"I don't know…" Natsu sighed as another person came up to have his picture taken. He tried plastering on a fake smile for the camera, but the best he could get was a grimace.

"Are you two really so stupid?" Mirajane commented, appearing from behind the photobooth backdrop. She hadn't changed yet from their performance earlier and she looked fierce. Her hair was up in a ponytail with her bangs over her face like she used to wear it, and the dark eye makeup made her blue eyes all the more intense. Natsu and Gray were a bit taken aback, not used to being spoken to by Mirajane like that.

"M-Mira?" Nastu stuttered as he stared at her in shock. He'd missed the earlier performance as he'd been called to relight one of the ovens which they were having trouble igniting.

"You guys should know more than anyone how shy Lucy is about this stuff" She lectured, seeming unfazed by Natsu's reaction.

"What's your point Mira?" Gray said in annoyance. Mira gave him an incredulous look.

"My point is that Lucy is never going to make the first move if that's what you're waiting for. For Christ's sake are you two blind?" Mirajane scolded "She wants you so badly and it is torturing her that she can't bring herself to say it"

"If she can't even make herself ask for it how are we supposed to know that she's really okay with it?" Natsu grumbled the question, annoyed at Mira's meddling.

"Tsk. Haven't you been paying attention Natsu? I'm no dragon slayer but I'd bet anything that her heart races whenever she's around you. Can't you smell how much she wants you?" Mirajane suggested calmly "Man up and just do something already" She said before spinning on her heel and sashaying away.


"Come on, you can do better than that!" Lucy yelled at the teenage boy who had just missed the target by a mile.

She'd been on shift for an hour already and not even one person had managed to sink her into the water. Mira had told her to keep the crowd riled up so she had been teasing and catcalling at each contestant. It was getting harder to keep interested in the game though. Her butt hurt from sitting on the hard wood and she was so bored. She was almost tempted to jump into the water just to add a bit of a change. Suddenly she saw a flash of green hair and brightened up a bit.

"Hey Bisca! How about you come show these fools how it's done!" She called out to the beautiful markswoman. Bisca grinned, she'd actually been sent over by Makarov to do just that when he'd noticed the crowd getting disinterested over no one being able to hit the target.

"Well how could I resist an offer like that?" She called back as she took her spot on the podium to take aim. "Ready to get wet Lucy?" She yelled, more for the sake of the crowd than anything else. She knew it worked when she heard the resounding cheer from the onlookers.

"Never been more ready in my life!" Lucy yelled back. She stood up on the podium, knowing Bisca would make the hit she figured she could put on a bit of a show. When Lucy stood up she spotted a few more familiar faces. Natsu, Lissana and Laxus were wandering toward the dunk tank. She knew Laxus was up next on this shift, but she figured the other two had just finished their tasks and were coming to see how she was doing. Suddenly inspired to really make it interesting Lucy slowly did a handstand on the small platform, waiting for her opportunity. Bisca made a show of pulling a large black, intimidating looking bean bag launcher out using her Gunner magic. She lined up the shot and fired, the sound echoing around courtyard. The second Lucy felt the platform start to give way she launched herself off, flipping into the tank. The crowd gave a huge cheer, but as Lucy resurfaced people gasped and cheered even louder.

"Fuck…" Laxus said to no one in particular as he stared at Lucy's wet figure. Natsu couldn't bring himself to speak. She'd lifted herself up to the edge of the dunk tank as she prepared to get out of the water. Somehow the thin strings tying Lucy's bikini top had come undone and slipped from under her shirt. The loose white shirt she'd had over the top remained, but now soaking wet it was completely see through and clung to her figure. They could clearly see the perfect shape of her breasts and her nipples, hardened from the cold water, were pushing against the fabric.

"Ah Lucy… Your… ummm" Bisca said as she gestured in the vague region of Lucy's chest.

"Kyaaa!" Lucy squeeled as she looked down and realised what had happened. Her arms immediately folded over her chest and she jumped back into the water. "Why does this only ever happen to me?!" She cried out. People in the crowd were cheering and hollering at Lucy.

As much as Natsu enjoyed the view he found the reaction of the crowd pissed him off, particularly one man calling out such rude things.

"Damn, those puppies are nice. I'd like to just stick my-" The man was cut off abruptly as Laxus elbowed him in the face, apparently feeling the same way as Natsu.

"Sorry" Laxus let out a gruff and clearly fake apology. Lucy was refusing to get out of the water and Natsu made his way over to the tank, hoisting himself up to rest on the ledge. He took his vest off and held it out.

"Here Lucy, put this on. Your shift is done and Laxus is here to take over so you don't have to get back up" Natsu said gently. Lucy accepted the cloth and hid behind him as she shrugged it on.

"Th-thanks Natsu. Guess you've come to my rescue again" Lucy blushed as she smiled gratefully and Natsu grinned. Lucy was so cute when she blushed.

"Nah Lucy, you don't need to be rescued. But I'm always here to help" Natsu said as he lifted her from the water into his lap. It was moments like these that he wished he didn't find Lucy so damn sexy. Moments when he knew she just needed a friend and he wanted so badly to suppress his body's response to her. But he couldn't.

He could feel himself stirring as he inhaled her sweet scent, not diminished at all from her dip in the water. He could feel her heart racing when he held her close to jump out of the tank. He cursed himself, hating his body for keeping him from staying at his friend's side. He had to leave before he kissed her. Before he ran his hands over her generous curves. Before the slight stirring turned into a huge tent in his pants.

Lucy started up into Natsu's gorgeous eyes. She loved how they changed colour, sometimes they were green, other times they were gray. When he used his dragon force they turned yellow like a dragon. Right now though they were black as he looked at her intensely, not yet letting go even though they were safely on the ground. She had this overwhelming urge to kiss him which had been pushing at her for so long she feared she'd go crazy. She couldn't stop herself as she stood up on her tip toes, closing her eyes as she rose up to meet his lips.

"S-Sorry Lucy, I have to go" Natsu said suddenly, leaving her bereft of his warmth as he dashed away and disappeared into the crowd. Lucy didn't know whether she wanted to scream or cry. She was so confused. Did Natsu not want to be with her anymore? Was that why he kept running away?

"Tsk… That kid's an idiot" She heard a deep voice say from behind her. She turned around to see Laxus taking off his shirt and tossing it to the side. Lucy's jaw dropped as she gawked at his defined abs and chest.

"W-what?" She stuttered. Laxus grinned as he put a finger under her chin, tilting her head up to meet his gaze.

"If I had a woman like you, I'd never leave her wanting" Laxus said softly. Lucy couldn't bring herself to respond. She just blushed furiously as he chuckled softly before stepping away and climbing up onto the dunk tank board to commence his shift.


The rest of the day's activities passed without incident, but Lucy felt herself grow nervous as the night festival drew closer and closer. She finished her second shift on the dunk tank just as it was starting to grow dark and she had to go get ready for the opening performance. She ran over the choreography in her head while cancer did her hair and makeup. She hadn't seen her costume since Mira sent it for what she called alterations, so when Mira held out what looked like a few random bits of cloth she just blinked at it.

"What's that?" Lucy asked suspiciously.

"It's your costume. Put it on, we don't have much time" Mira gently tossed the bits of fabric in Lucy's lap and walked away to arrange other last minute details of the performance. Lucy picked it up, twisting as she tried to figure out how it was supposed to tie up into clothing.

"Lucy, you aren't ready yet?" Lissana asked as she walked into the room. She was dressed in the same costume Lucy assumed that she held in her hands and it actually looked fabulous on her. A black bra with silver studs dotted over the bust and a black shirt that went over it which had a high collar then scooped down to a flimsy clip under the bra. It left her midriff bare and went down to a short black pleated skirt and black thigh high stockings. Lucy sighed a bit on the inside. Lissana looked so incredible she knew if she wanted any chance at winning the prize money and getting Natsu's attention she'd have to be at the top of her game.

"Sorry Lissana, I just got the costume. I will change now" Lucy said in defeat. She was so nervous her fingers fumbled as she put the outfit on. She finally sorted out the pieces of fabric and when she walked back into the main room behind the stage Juvia and Cana had joined Lissana. They were also dressed in the same costume and while Cana seemed as relaxed as ever sipping from a keg, Juvia seemed to be worrying over her appearance.

"Oh Juvia is unsure of this. It seems a bit revealing, but if it will get Gray-sama's attention Juvia will do it!" Juvia said worriedly. Lucy didn't say anything, but she felt the same way. She hoped Natsu and Gray noticed her tonight. If this plan didn't work she didn't know what else she could do.

"Ahh Lucy, lookin' sexy" Cana grinned over at her. Lucy laughed.

"Yeah you too Cana. Who knew the bondage style was your thing" She joked. Cana waived her hand like it was nothing.

"I aim to please" Cana joked back. The small exchange easing Lucy's nerves a bit. Mirajane walked into the room.

"Come on girls, it's show time!" She announced, making Lucy's stomach plummet to the ground again.


Natsu and Gray had made sure to secure front row seats for this performance and waited eagerly as the lights went down to signal the start. Laxus and Loke sat to the side of Natsu, while Lyon from Lamia Scale and Bacchus from Quatro Cerebus sat beside Gray.

The audience let out a cheer as the stage lightened up to reveal the four girls sitting on chairs in the centre of the stage. They were in a row, but two of the chairs were toward the front and two a bit further back. Cana and Lucy were in the front two and Lissana and Juvia in the back. They were sitting in the chairs looking bored, Cana and Lucy were sitting with their legs crossed examining their fingernails while Juvia and Lissana were slouched back in their chairs staring at the ceiling.

"Hot damn…" Laxus said as he admired the girls in their sexy outfits. There was a general grunt of agreement from all of them.

Suddenly the music started, a guitar playing a fun rock beat and the girls began looking around at each other. A drum beat was quickly added and Cana was the first to move, still in her seat she began rolling her body to the beat while gripping the sides of her chair. Then the others caught on, shifting sexily in their seats as the music played. Then the lyrics started and the girls began dancing in earnest along to the words.

"Well it's midnight, damn right we're wound up too tight.

I got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me.

Ohhh that shit makes me bat shit crazy.

We've got no fear, no doubt, all in - balls out"

Natsu's gazed was focused on Lucy as her body moved fluidly along to the rock beat. Absently he heard the words of the song begin and he saw her stretch her arms up, then slide them back down over the sides of her breasts down to her hips. He knew the other girls were doing the same movements, but he couldn't really see them. Suddenly Lucy met his gaze and it was like she was dancing just for him.

He hissed in a breath as she showed off her flexibility, the leg that was crossed over the other kicking a wide circle up and over before landing on the floor again. Leaving her legs spread to reveal dark purple lace panties beneath her skirt. He heard his friends gasp around him at the sexy moves the girls were making. The girls stood from their seats to turn around and bend over so their hands were on the seats. Natsu stared at Lucy's perfect ass as she swayed her hips to the beat, winding in circles before they dropped down low. A cheer went through the crowd as the audience watched the gorgeous girls move like they were dancing in a strip club.

"Wow… I didn't think Juvia-chan could be such a bad girl" Lyon muttered under his breath.

"I knew Cana could" Bacchus responded with a grin.

"Check out Lissana… little sister's all grown up. But Lucy though…" Loke said, letting out an almost feral growl "Damn I'm never been happier to call someone 'Master'" He confessed.

Natsu heard them, because Natsu heard everything, but he wasn't listening. What he was really listening to was the quick pace of Lucy's heart. The soft counting she was doing under her breath through the sexy teasing smile on her face. Even amidst the strong odor of male arousal coming from the room he could still smell the sweet vanilla scent of her which turned him on so badly. His hand dipped into his pants for a second as he adjusted his hardening length. He fantasized about just walking up onto the stage and dragging her off with him. He thought about the way he would rip off her clothes and torment her body until she was so wet that he could bend her over and ram himself deep inside.

He found himself gripping the armrests of his seat until the metal creaked and gave way under his crushing grip. He was already struggling so badly trying to resist the urge to give in to his fantasies when Lucy's eyes locked with his again. She ripped open the outer shirt she was wearing and threw it off, then he saw it. A temporary tattoo of a little red dragon swirling over her shoulder and up the side of her neck. He knew right away that she'd put it there for him and he struggled to breathe through the tightness in his chest. He'd never wanted anything so badly in his whole life and he couldn't stand it anymore. Natsu abruptly got up from his seat and raced out of the room, unable to tolerate the heightened lust burning through his veins. He had to leave before he lost control of himself.

Natsu didn't know what was happening to him as he stood outside of the guild. Energy was surging through his body, an unknown force commanding him to get back in there and have his way with Lucy right there on that stage. He was fighting it with everything he had and it physically hurt, his head was splitting and he felt like a weight was crushing his chest. He noticed his reflection in a window pane and wasn't surprised to see his dragon force had transformed him. His eyes were piercing yellow and his teeth had sharpened into fangs. He looked down at his claws and anger surged through him. Before he knew it one hand had curled into a fist as he forced it through the window pane that was showing him was he'd become.

"Oh no… I hope we aren't too late Porlyusica…" He heard the deep voice of the guild master seconds before a giant fist slammed him to the ground and he lost consciousness.

Natsu struggled to tear himself from the darkness of oblivion as he slowly woke from his forced slumber. His mind absently registered that he was laying on something soft and he could somewhat hear people talking around him. Slowly he opened his eyes, blinking away the blurriness until eventually he could see Makarov and Porlyusica standing across the room.

"Good, you're awake. How are you feeling?" Makarov asked as Natsu slowly began to rise from the bed he was laying on. He recognized the room as Porlyusica's house out in the forest.

"What happened?" Natsu asked, his voice slurring slightly as he was still struggling to emerge fully into a conscious state.

"I've been doing additional reading into Lucy's condition" Porlyusica said in her usual no nonsense tone. "The situation is worse than what we expected. Your…" Porlyusica paused as she searched for the right word "Reaction. At the guild is indicative that things have already escalated beyond a safe level" She finished. Natsu rubbed the back of his head where it had been slammed against the pavement, wincing slightly at the tender area.

"What are you talking about, lady?" Natsu frowned over the cryptic message.

"I'm talking about your relationship with the girl. You need to cure her as soon as possible or there will be dire consequences" Porlyusica finished.

"We've discovered that people effected by what Lucy has… Well long story short – the more she wants you, the more you will be affected by the chemicals she is emitting. Also the longer you wait the stronger it gets" Makarov advised. Natsu groaned.

"You're saying this feeling is only going to get worse?" Natsu whined in frustration. He couldn't take it as it was, how could he possibly deal with worse?

"It's not just that Natsu. We've found another case where the object of the affected person's desires continued to resist her. Eventually it…" Makarov trailed off, looking concerned.

"Eventually it what, Gramps?" Natsu asked cautiously. He just knew he wouldn't like the news that was coming.

"Eventually it drove him mad and he killed her" Porlyusica finished "He was so overwhelmed with desire that it turned into rage, which then intensified so much that he stabbed her until she was barely recognizable as a human. All to free himself of the torment" Natsu moved to speak but Makarov interrupted.

"I know what you're going to say Natsu. You think you will never hurt Lucy no matter what because you are friends" Makarov said "But he was her brother. Her own flesh and blood, which was why he refused to give in to her desires" Natsu was horrified at the information. He still wanted to protest, but then he remembered the way he'd felt back at the guild. The lust had already begun boiling into rage and his chest ached over the thought that he could end up hurting Lucy.

"W-what do I do?" Natsu stuttered as he asked.

"You can't wait any longer. You need to give in to her, or you will risk your sanity" Porlyusica advised. Suddenly a thought occurred to Natsu.

"Why hasn't Gray been affected like this? I know she wants him as much as she wants me, but he didn't hulk out at the guild like I did" Natsu asked. He knew Gray struggled as much as he did with keeping away from Lucy, yet he wasn't here being warned of this impending doom.

"While there is no doubt Gray will also eventually need to bend to Lucy's will, it seems her attention is focused on you at the moment" Makarov advised "However the reason you can't control your dragon force when you're with her is completely different. It is unrelated to this incident so no need to concern yourself at this time" He finished quickly. Natsu was so confused.

"What? What the hell does that even mean?" Natsu almost yelled. Unrelated to this incident? It seems pretty damn important to him.

"You will discover it yourself eventually. Maybe in a few years time if the two of you ever actually grow up." Porlyusica snapped "Now get out of my house! I hate the smell of humans!" She yelled before kicking both Makarov and Natsu out.


Lucy sighed as she laid back in her bath tub. She was utterly devastated, her big plan for the night having turned into a complete disaster as Natsu ran out of the guild not even half way through the opening dance routine. Gray had stuck around, but with Juvia there she couldn't make a move on him without risk to her life. All her carefully made plans and practiced competition moves were all for nothing. She had felt so defeated and totally undesirable that she had left after the dance finished. She had no idea where to go from there and ended up wandering along the river, lost in thought until she'd eventually headed home to take a bath. The only thing she could do now was to confess her desires openly, but even that wasn't really an option. With the way they had been acting she was so afraid that they had changed their minds about wanting her. If she said anything she feared not just their rejection, but that it would hurt their friendship and their team.

Perhaps it was time to give up on Gray and Natsu both and pursue someone else. Unless she was totally misreading him it seemed like Laxus was showing some interest in her recently. Plus Laxus was pretty damn sexy and she had a feeling he'd know what to do with her if she let him. She sighed again as she pondered what to do with herself. She wasn't tired, but she was hoping that the relaxing bath would sooth her restless body. After about 10 minutes she had to concede to herself that it wasn't going to help. As she got out of the tub she absently began singing to herself one of the songs she'd been practicing for talent section that she'd never got to participate in.

"I feel so untouched right now, need you so much somehow. I can't resist you. It's not enough to say that I miss you. I feel so untouched right now, need you so much somehow, I can't forget you. Been going crazy from the moment I met you…" She finished the words as she wrapped the towel around herself and exited the bathroom. It was dark in her living room but she didn't bother turning a light on though as she walked to her dresser. A noise from behind her stopped her in her tracks.

Someone was in her apartment… She listened carefully for any hint of movement, grabbing the key around her neck tightly as she pulled it off the chain. There it was, the shuffle of footsteps to her left. She struck out quickly, the key elongating to a sword in almost an instant as she moved swiftly to cut down the intruder. Instead of hitting her mark though the sword was abruptly knocked from her hand and she found herself pressed against a wall, the intruder pinning her there with his body against her back.

"Lucy relax, it's just me" She heard an all too familiar voice say.

"Natsu…" She all but whispered. It couldn't be though, Natsu didn't break into her apartment anymore.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" Natsu said as he moved away from her, reaching over to turn on the light in her apartment. She turned around slowly to look at him, her heart skipping a beat as she took in the sight. He was standing there shirtless, leaving her to admire his broad shoulders and chest. The ends of his hair were wet, letting her know he'd recently showered. Her gaze traveled downward over his incredibly defined abs right down to the delicious 'V' of muscle low on his hips that led to his manhood. Her gaze lingered there for much longer than it should have. Any thought of giving up her pursuit of him went right out the window as she felt desire pool low in her belly.

Natsu watched her gaze run over his body. She looked so captivated by him and when the scent of her desire hit him he knew there was no going back.

"I… I didn't think I'd see you here again" Lucy said when she finally managed to tear her gaze away from him.

"I've been trying to stay away" Natsu admitted as he slowly stepped closer to her.

"W-why?" Lucy stuttered as he rested his forearm on the wall next to her head. He hadn't even touched her yet but her heart was racing and her breath was coming faster.

"It's too much temptation… After you ran off on me in the gym I didn't think you were ready" He said. Lucy wanted to look at his face, but she was scared. Scared if she moved he would run away again, leaving her wanting like always.

"Ready for what?" Lucy asked hesitantly, her own voice sounding low and unfamiliar. Natsu let his free hand touch her tentatively, starting at her hip his fingertips skimmed up her waist and gently over the side of her breast. When his hand reached her face he gently tilted her chin upward so he could look into her gorgeous chocolate brown eyes.

"For everything I want to give you…" He whispered softly as his mouth slowly closed the distance between hers. Natsu tried to keep the kiss light and teasing, but as all the desire and frustration they'd both had over the last 6 months came rushing to the surface the kiss became heated and passionate.

Any rational thought Lucy had ever had disappeared with Natsu's fiery kiss. Desire flooded between her legs as his mouth worked magic against hers. She felt his hands on her body, sliding down over her hips and around the back of her thighs. He lifted her up to wrap her legs around his waist as he continued their mind consuming kiss. Lucy moaned into his mouth as his massive erection rubbed against her sensitive flesh, the material of his jeans directly rubbing against her wetness. His hips kept her pinned against the wall as his hands ran up her small waist pull the towel away from her body. Lucy didn't even protest as she was left totally naked before him. Too consumed with pleasure he was giving her to care for her modesty.

He moved one hand down to grab her ass while his other began fondling her already hardened nipple. He broke the kiss to nip and suck his way down her neck, paying special attention to that sweet little dragon on her shoulder. He was being much rougher with her than he knew he should yet was still unable to control himself. When he rolled his hips forward slightly he didn't quite know what to call the sound she made. Something between a cry of surprise and a moan of pleasure, but he was damn sure he liked how it sounded coming from her lips. He tore himself away from her briefly and all but threw her onto her bed before climbing on top of her.

He kissed her hotly, pressing their bodies together as she spread her legs for him. She was so soft, and the pleasure of having her beneath him was indescribable. He could feel her core against his lower belly, knowing he could press his erection into that wet heat if only he curved his back just a little. He felt himself starting to completely lose control, but knew if he did he would end up hurting her because of her inexperience. He moved from his position on top of her to lay by her side to remove some of the temptation. Natsu pressed the palm of his hand against Lucy's most sensitive flesh while at the same he bent his head to gently tongue one of her nipples. He could feel the heat radiating from her body.

"Gyaaohhhh God Natsu!" Not a single thought was spared for Lucy's neighbours' as she yelled her pleasure to the heavens. The smell of her arousal right now was the finest scent he'd ever had the privilege of breathing in his entire life. Her scent alone made him so hard that he was mildly concerned he might blow his load in his pants like a 14 year old boy.

He used the pad of his thumb to circle the bundle of nerves at the top of her womanhood, while at the same time gently bit down on one nipple and inserted his middle finger inside her. Lucy gasped and then moaned as she ground herself against his palm, one of her hands gripping the sheets and the other scratching her fingernails up and down Natsu's back. He groaned internally at how impossibly tight she was around his finger and for a moment he felt a familiar pressure starting to build at just the thought of having that tightness wrapped around him.

Lucy couldn't believe the sensations he was creating in her body. His teeth scraped over her nipple at the same time his finger thrust inside her and jolt ran through her at the pleasure, making her arch her back which forced his finger deeper inside of her. Every thrust of his finger threatened to force her over the edge, but each time it elusively escaped her grasp.

"Please Natsu…" Lucy begged, even though she wasn't quite sure what she was begging for. Natsu knew though.

"Fuck Lucy, you're killing me…" Natsu growled. He absolutely loved the way she responded to his touch. So incredibly sensitive. He slipped a second finger inside her and pumped faster, her hips arched off the bed and her fingernails dug into his back.

"Oh… Oh… Oh God Natsu!" Lucy screamed as the orgasm ripped through her. She saw stars as her vision blacked out for a second and the pleasurable spasms racked her body. She'd only ever come in dreams before and the reality was so much more intense. Natsu's fingers continued to move inside her as her internal walls clenched around him involuntarily. She was left totally breathless, but Natsu wasn't finished with her yet. When the last spasm stopped he slowly withdrew his fingers, causing her to shudder again in pleasure. He sat up on his knees and knelt between her legs. Lucy shyly tried to close them but Natsu kept them forced open. His eyes roamed over her amazing body, traveling down from her beautiful face. Her cheeks were tinged pink as she blushed adorably under his scrutiny.

"Don't even think about taking this view away from me…" Natsu said as he slowly started stroking her slit again. Lucy shivered, totally aware she was naked and fully exposed under his heated gaze.

"Not fair… If I'm naked you should be too" Lucy said, reaching for the top button of his jeans. Natsu batted her hands away though, knowing if she touched him it would all be over.

"Not yet, I'm not nearly finished exploring your body" Natsu said, his voice low and sensual as he lifted his fingers and slowly licked the tip of one finger which had been inside her. "Mmm… you taste good too. I definitely won't be done until I've tasted you properly" He kept eye contact with her as he lowered himself down so that his mouth hovered over her lower belly. He gently kissed the area, slowly moving down, building anticipation until he finally reached the area he desired so much. He held her gaze as his tongue flicked out to slide over her slit.

"Ahhh oh Natsu!" Lucy moaned and threw her head back, calling his name. He loved how his name sounded as she screamed it in pleasure. It made his cock twitch every time she yelled it out. He continued to tease her with his tongue, holding her hips in place with both hands to keep her still. It wasn't easy though since every flick of his tongue made her hips buck wildly. She was so goddamn sexy, and her pussy was so wet that if it were anyone else he'd have been balls deep by now. But it wasn't anyone else; it was Lucy, and it was Lucy's first time so he had to make sure she was ready. He'd make her so ready that she'd be begging him to slide inside her. With that thought in his mind he stopped teasing and began sucking hard on that wonderful bundle of nerves which always makes a woman go wild.

Lucy cried out as the sensations racked her body. His tongue was doing wicked things to her over sensitized clit, which was still throbbing from the last orgasm he'd given her. In practically no time at all she felt her next orgasm crash through her. She found herself covering her own mouth to smother the screams, while her other hand dug into the sheets. Natsu didn't like that though.

"Don't try and stifle the sounds Lucy. I like hearing you scream while I make you cum for me" Natsu said as he slowly slid up her body again, whispering softly in her ear "Makes my dick so fucking hard" He heard Lucy gasp as a shiver ran through her body. His dirty talk excited her more than she even thought was possible, but she couldn't help the dark blush that stained her cheeks. Despite her enthusiasm for everything they'd done so far, she was still so inexperienced. He'd made her cum twice already, but she hadn't even seen him fully naked. Boldly she reached between their bodies to run her hand over his shaft through his pants. He hissed sharply and Lucy pulled her hand back, worried she'd hurt him.

"S-Sorry, I didn't mean—" Natsu cut off her apology by crashing his lips to hers. He kissed her passionately while his hand guided hers back to his throbbing length, dipping her fingers inside of his jeans but outside his underwear. He held her hand there as he slowly moved his hips to rub against her palm. Lucy used her other hand to unsnap the button of his jeans and lower the zipper to give her better access. When it was undone Natsu led Lucy's hand into the waistband of his underwear. He ran her palm all the way up, then guided her fingers to wrap around him and showed her how to slowly pump her hand up and down his huge erection. Lucy was surprised at how he felt in her hand, hard as steel and yet the skin was smooth and soft. He was thick enough that she could only just close her fingertips around him. Natsu stopped kissing her and rested his forehead against the crook of her neck, inhaling her intoxicating scent which only made him want her even more. He released his grip on her hand, letting her continue to touch him while he thrust his hips against her fingers. Lucy thoroughly enjoyed the small growls and moans she elicited from him, the noises empowering her to grip him tighter and reach her other hand down to gently stroke his balls. When she did this though he inhaled sharply and jerked himself away from her caresses. He stood back to shed his jeans and underwear and Lucy gasped as she saw him standing there totally naked. He was absolutely huge and Lucy eyes went wide as she was suddenly full of doubt that he could fit inside her. She watched him grab a condom from his jeans pocket and slowly roll it over his massive length, unable to look away. He was back between her legs soon enough though and when he spread her legs wide and rubbed the tip of his dick against her wet slit she almost came again on the spot. It was time, Lucy thought to herself as she closed her eyes. She wanted this so badly, she felt like there was this ache deep inside her that only he could fill. Yet despite how much she wanted it there were so many questions she had. Would it hurt? Would it feel good? Would she like it? He was so big, was he even going to fit?

She waited for him to enter her, but he didn't move. She opened her eyes to see him staring at her intently.

"N-Natsu?" She said his name like a question, wondering what he was waiting for.

"Are… Are you sure you're ready for me?" Natsu asked, the strain clear in his voice. He was itching to be inside her and it was taking every bit of willpower he had to not thrust his hips forward into her sweet, welcoming heat.

"I'm ready, please Natsu" Lucy begged, desperate for him to relieve the ache inside her. Still he didn't move though.

"No Lucy. I mean are you ready for me?" Natsu asked again. It took a minute for Lucy to understand what he was asking, but then it dawned on her. In his own weird way he was asking if it was okay for him to be her first.

Even with all the lust boiling up inside her, as she stared up at him memories flooded to the surface. All the times Natsu had saved her, been there for her and supported her. He picked her up off the battlefield after her loss against Flare. He caught her when she was expelled from the Clock Tower, and when she jumped from the prison at Phantom Lord. He had been saving her since the very first moment they'd met when he broke the love charm cast by that wizard in Hargeon and he had been by her side to pick her up whenever she'd stumbled ever since. He'd brought her to Fairy Tail where she'd finally found the family she'd always wanted. He was her knight in shining armor, her own personal hero. After thinking about all of this she realized that she couldn't possibly have shared this moment with anyone better. She slowly raised her hands up to cup his face, staring boldly into his eyes and letting him see her conviction.

"It could only ever be you, Natsu" She declared before bringing his lips down to hers and kissing him fiercely. That seemed to be the reassurance that he'd needed as he began slowly inching inside of her. His body was begging him to thrust all the way in and take his pleasure but he ignored the instinct, instead totally focused on her body's reactions. He would push inside her until he felt her tense, then ease himself almost all the way out and push inside again slowly just a little bit further.

"Ahhh… nnnh Natsu. You're too big, I can't…" Lucy squeezed her eyes shut. She knew he was taking special care not to hurt her, but he was so thick and long she felt too full already.

"Yeah you can Lucy, don't worry. You can take all of me" Natsu assured her as he continued his slow strokes in an out, working his shaft inside her bit by bit. Finally he was all the way inside her and he paused, waiting for her to adjust to his invasion. After what seemed like an excruciatingly long time he finally felt her squirm against him, urging him to move. He began slowly, letting her get used to the rhythm. She was so impossibly tight around his shaft he had to fight himself every step of the way to not just repeatedly ram inside that sweet sheath. His dragon force had transformed him again and his claws were digging into the bed on either side of her shoulders, tearing the sheets.

Lucy couldn't believe the sensations he was creating inside her. It had started out a bit uncomfortable but it felt better and better with every stroke. Pretty soon she was moaning her pleasure, running her fingernails up and down the rippling muscles in his back and spreading her legs wider to give him better access. Natsu sensed the change in her and experimented by thrusting a bit harder. He groaned in pleasure at the sweet sensation and was relieved that so did she.

He picked up the pace, snapping his hips to bury his shaft inside her harder and faster. He could feel his balls tightening as she gripped his length tighter than any woman had before. He was determined to outlast her though so as he fought his release he leaned down to capture the tip of one of her gorgeous breasts in his mouth, loving the corresponding cry of pleasure from her. He continued to thrust inside her while his hand reached down to rub the top of her womanhood, careful not to scratch her with his claws. Lucy couldn't stand the sensations any longer, her oversensitive nerves unable to handle so much pleasure.

"Ahh… Ohhh Natsu, I'm gonna…. AHHHH!" Lucy screamed out in pleasure as the third and most intense orgasm hit her. He toes went numb and she clenched involuntarily around Natsu's hard shaft still slamming inside her.

Natsu felt her release and as she came she clenched tighter around his dick. He couldn't hold on any longer, his rhythm became erratic as he felt his orgasm building. Finally he felt his release in a wave of pleasure rising up from his balls as he slammed inside her one last time.

"Nngh… oh fuck… fuck ahhh…" Natsu groaned his pleasure through gritted teeth as he shot into her. He collapsed on top of her, just managing to support most of his weight on his elbows as they lay there breathing heavily. Eventually he withdrew from her wet heat, causing them both to squirm with residual aftershocks from their release and briefly went into the bathroom to dispose of the condom. When he came back he flopped down on the bed beside her. He pulled her into him so that her head lay on his chest so he could continue holding her.

Normally Natsu wasn't big on cuddling after sex, but he wasn't quite ready to lose the contact with her just yet. Besides he knew after her first time she'd probably feel better laying like this for a while until she figured out how she felt about what they'd just done. He wondered what she was thinking and seriously hoped they hadn't just ruined their friendship. What Cana had told him that night in the guild reassured him that Lucy wasn't looking for anything permanent, but that didn't mean she'd be able to face him afterward.

"Natsu?" Lucy questioned in a small voice.

"Yeah Lucy?" He responded. She lifted her head to look him in the eyes. She looked so sexy laying naked across him, her chocolate brown eyes had the look of a woman who was thoroughly satisfied.

"Does… sex always feel that good?" She asked shyly, a blush staining her cheeks. Natsu couldn't help but grin as her words gave him a surge of pride. There was nothing better than knowing he'd made her first time good for her.

"Depends on who you do it with" He answered. As much as he liked Lucy his love for her was still very much that of a friend. He didn't feel possessive of her, wanting her to be his only. He'd like for her to explore her sexuality, even if it meant she would be with other guys. Though he would always feel good knowing that she chose him to be her first, and he hadn't nearly had his fill of her yet. When he inhaled he could still feel that overpowering lust that told him he hadn't fulfilled her greatest fantasy, and he would continue to seduce her until he did. He felt his dick start to rise again, wanting to go another round. He wouldn't though, he knew he'd probably been too rough with her as it was and she would be sore tomorrow.

"Then… do you want to do it again sometime?" Lucy glanced away as she said it, not really able to look him in the eyes. He smiled at the way she somehow managed to ask so sweetly and innocently if he'd want to fuck her again.

"You're damn right I do" Natsu partially growled as he leaned in to kiss her. His kiss re-ignited the fire in her belly, but she knew her body needed to recover before they went at it again so she pulled away first.

"I'm tired Natsu… But you can stay here tonight if you want" Lucy said shyly. Natsu nodded, gently turning her in his arms so that he could spoon her in a more comfortable sleeping position.

"Sure… I've missed your bed anyway. It's comfortable" Natsu said tiredly. Natsu held her as they slowly drifted off and for the first time in what felt like forever the pair actually got a decent night's sleep.


A/N: So that finally happened! Not going to lie, even I started to doubt if I'd ever get around to it. I hope it was worth the wait and you all enjoyed reading this super long chapter.

I've had a few people ask if this is going to be a NaLu or GraLu fic, but it's kind of going to be both. Maybe with a few other Lucy pairings if I get around to it. I just thought with everything they've been through together in the story for Natsu to be her first would be so much more fitting.

Also the brief song lyrics I've used are from Burn it to the Ground by Nickelback and Untouched by The Veronicas. Not as great as the last song I used, but I thought the words were fitting for their situations.

Let me know if you liked it! And for all the GraLu fans, don't worry - your time is coming!
