A/N: This is the fourteenth chapter for ABOFT, so I was wondering...can you guys tell me which chapter(s) you liked best? Or ones that you would like to read more of? If I know, then you might just see more of it. Just a thought. ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.

Summary: There was always something about Lucy that pulled him to her. From the very first moment he met her, he knew that she would become something special to him.

Rated M. M means Mature, which also means that there will most likely be sexual content all over this chapter(most likely=definitely), so please do not read if you are offended by such things. Thank you.

Serendipity

A door busted wide open, two bodies stumbling into the darkened room of the girl's small apartment. Low moans and soft sighs escaped both their mouths as their hands grabbed and reached for each other. The desire to feel her skin beneath his finger tips was overwhelming. He itched to mark her, to lay her spread out before him where he could easily have free reign over her body.

There was too much teasing, too much flirting through the duration of the guild party. And as the night went on, their touches became frequent and a lot more sexual. Lust drove their thoughts into actions. With her confidence brought on by the consumption of alcohol and his inability to turn away what he truly desired, both Natsu and Lucy found themselves in a lustful embrace against the wall of her bedroom apartment.

Their mouths sought each other with great fervor, they pulled, nipped and suckled as their desire for one another raised to new levels. The softness of her body enticed him, her smell was more intoxicating than ever. Natsu pressed himself against her, heady with the scent of her arousal and it was thick in the air.

His hands buried themselves in her long blond hair, texture like silk falling between his fingers. He gently pulled her head back so he could look at her and in the darkness of the room, he could see her pretty face clearly. Her chocolate brown eyes were glazed over with a lust that matched his own. Lips parted, swollen and pink from their kiss. She had murmured his name in her sweet voice and once again he was lost within her.

He heard her sigh against his lips as he kissed her. Lucy was persistent in her actions as she grind and pressed herself onto him in the same manner he had done moments before. Her skirt began riding up her stomach, leaving her so very exposed to him. Her hands trailed down the length of his chest until she held the hem of his shirt in her hands. Soon there was a tug, then a pull, and Natsu's clothing was ripped from his body and dropped to the floor.

Like a switch was flicked on inside his head, Natsu hoisted her up against the wall, bringing both her legs around his waist. He felt her heat, the desire she had for him so close to his own. It was almost maddening, he thought, to have her here with him, to experience her kiss, the feel of her lips, but not have it satisfy him. It wasn't enough, not nearly enough. He wanted more.

Lucy started to grind onto his hips with renewed vigor, and Natsu cursed under his breath. From the second they left the party to the moment they stumbled into her apartment, it felt like a blur. Things were going a little too far a little too fast, not to mention Lucy wasn't exactly in her right state of mind, the scent of alcohol on her breath reminded him of that fact. They needed to slow down or stop altogether, to which both he felt were close to impossible to do at this point.

"Lucy..."

Neither of them anticipated getting this far, but as if she had the answer, the woman before him tightened her hold around him, bringing his face close to hers. Whatever he wanted to say was devoured with a kiss, and quickly forgotten.

"Natsu." Lucy moved her mouth to the sensitive shell of his ear where she teased him with several slow strokes of her tongue. In an attempt to rouse him further, she wiggled herself against his hardness. "Do you wanna fuck me?"

Whatever shred of resistance he had left within him vanished at the headiness of her voice, her words stirring up something deep and primal inside him. His gut twisted in anticipation, liquid fire spreading throughout his body and it ran hotter than any kind of burn he felt before. He reached down to her waist, bringing the hem of her panties in his hand. With one sharp pull, he ripped the garment off her.

Lucy squealed, excited over the roughness of his actions. She brought her lips to his once again in a kiss that removed all thought. Natsu groaned deep in his throat. To have her here with him like this, with her so willing and receptive to his touch, it was something he had only dreamed about.

Through the haze of his own pleasure, his brain registered the sensation of Lucy running her hands along the muscles of his arms, over his back, through the thickness of his hair. He pressed her hard against the wall, holding her there with his might as he stripped himself the rest of his clothing. Lucy let out a tiny whine, fueling his lust even further. In one fell swoop, and without thought or warning, he entered her.

Lucy cried out against him, low and wanting. For a moment, Natsu was breathless. The feel of her around him, pulsing, bringing more of him inside her was intoxicating. She was so slick with want, so hot and tight that he found it difficult to catch his breath. His brain stuttered, his heart stopped, and when Lucy started to move, he was sure that they needed to find someplace horizontal, and fast.

Natsu locked her legs around his waist, her body molding perfectly with his. He managed the torturing stagger all the way to her room and with all the grace he could muster, he tumbled onto the bed with her beneath him. Lucy gave a loud cry, her head tilting back as he forged deeper into her.

Her silken sheath surrounded him and he pressed a breath out between his teeth. This wasn't like in any of his dreams where he always felt like he was in control. It was more like Lucy was the one taking the reigns as she wordlessly instructed him how to move with her body, her hands scratching and pulling at him, bringing him closer. She stole all of his concentration with the sound of her voice as she moaned. Her skin flushed and glistened under his ministrations, her body twisting and tensing with the sheer pleasure of it all.

Natsu traced the curves of her body with a heated gaze, memorized by the way her chest bounced with each move he made. He groaned deep in his throat, pressing his face against the skin of her neck where he licked and nipped. He continued to rock into her relentlessly, savoring the way she tightened and shuddered beneath him. She wailed loudly as he felt a violent tremor surge through her body, making her arch up against his chest. Her orgasm consumed her suddenly, taking Natsu by surprise. The bliss continued as he pumped erratically into her, each pulse better than the last. It was right after that he felt his own release burning up through his body. It went on forever, or not long enough, Natsu was too drunk with his own pleasure to tell.

With a shuddering breath, the fog of lust began to clear and Natsu took in the sight before him. Lucy was sprawled on the bed beneath him, arms outstretched, a light sheen of perspiration coating her pale skin. Her cheeks were flushed, blond hair tangled and wild from sex. And when she gazed back up at him with her trusting eyes and her lighthearted smile, he swore that there was nothing in the world that could ever come close to the beauty he was seeing right now.

"Natsu." Lucy reached for him, her touch calming. "You'll stay with me tonight?"

"Did you think I would leave?" he asked.

Lucy smiled. He could tell she was fighting off sleep with the way she tried to keep her eyes open. With a half-lidded gaze, she cupped his face with her hands, bringing him down for a chaste kiss.

He found the act to be extremely affectionate, but he wasn't going to complain. He wanted this with Lucy for a while now, hoped that something would happen between them, but never in his wildest dreams he believed that it could ever come true. Being with her like this, finally having her the way he always wanted, there was no way he was going to leave her now. The realization that their relationship was going to change wasn't as scary as he thought it'd be. With this final wall between them down, they had a lot more room and opportunity to get closer to each other.

It was something he was looking forward to.

"I'm glad you're here," she said.

"Me too." As if he would have it any other way.

Natsu moved in next to her, wrapping an arm around her naked waist before pulling a light sheet up and over them both. Lucy snuggled in close, her head resting in the crook of his neck. It took a couple moments to feel the relaxed rhythm of her breathing against his cheek, but as soon as he did, he pulled her tighter in his embrace, taking a few moments to bask in the happiness he was currently experiencing.

There was always something about Lucy that pulled him to her. From the very first moment he met her, he knew that she would become something special to him. And the day she joined Fairy Tail, it cemented her fate with his. Every battle they faced, every mission they completed, they were always together. You couldn't think of one without the other, that much was fact. His life wouldn't be the same without her, and whether they shared this moment or not, she was his and he was hers.

And there wasn't a power in the universe that could ever change that.
