Chapter 21 - Phone Sex?

Lucy POV:

When Natsu calls later I'm all smiles. Until I realize I have to tell him about my job title. Theater is one thing but how do I explain I'm dancing burlesque. While I would love to see my father's reaction, I would absolutely hate to see Natsu's. He went batshit crazy over some cleavage, if he saw some of my outfits he'd blow a gasket!

"You're in a good mood." He observes

I'm lying on his bed with Happy, who was playing with my hair.

"I am."

"Anything you'd like to share?" He asks amused

"I have a job!" I squeal

"That's fantastic Lucy! Was it an audition or job interview? Whatever it is, we should celebrate! I'll order champagne and you can open a bottle on your end."

"We're not having champagne. It's no big deal."

"It's a job, so go get yourself a drink. You deserve it!" He insists

"You're a bossy one aren't you?" I claim but don't argue

"So tell me about this job of yours?" He beams enthusiastically

"Oh..it's like dinner theater."

They serve food there, that should count. Right?

"That's good isn't it?" He raises a brow

"It's a start and a paycheck."

"Both good things." He nods

"Exactly. So what about you? How're things in Edolas?"

"Running smoothly. I'm just looking forward to sleeping in my own bed again." He sighs

"I bet. It is a nice bed. You must miss it."

"I do. Especially, right now."

"Why right now?"

"Because you're in it."

I prop the phone up against the pillow and rear my chin on my fist. I lower my voice to a sultry whisper.

"Are you jealous?"

He gives me the evil eye. "Maybe, a little.."

"Just a little?" I stretch out like a star fish on the comforter.

"— But Natsu .. just look at how much room I have." I make a big show of rolling back and forth across the California- King size bed.

"—It's soo firm..." I moan and roll to one side, then roll back the other way until I'm right in front of the screen again.

"—And soo big." I flutter my lashes and bite my lip to stop my grin.

Natsu's tongue peeks out across his lips, then disappears.

"You know, I am going to be home soon, right?.. and I will be able to get you back for ALL this torment."

"You think I'm tormenting you?" I gasp in faux innocence

"Are you trying to tell me you're not? With the way you're moaning and rolling around MY bed. And dressed like that." His eyes smoldering

From his angle my tank top gapes at the chest. But I really can't help that, it's just my size.

"What's wrong with the way I'm dressed?"

"Are you fucking shitting me with that question, Lucy?"

"What? I'm dressed for bed."

"I can see your nipples." He's looking right at them.

"I'm just cold, the air conditioning is always full blast in here." I cup my breast's.

"Are you even wearing a bra?"

Natsu's arm behind his head uncurls and is suddenly on the move, down his chest and then out of sight.

"What're you doing?" I ask

"Aren't you going to answer my question?"

His bicep is flexing, what the hell is he doing?

"Lucy?"

I shift my gaze up. "Huh?"

"My question. Aren't you going to answer it?"

I'm too busy trying to figure out where his hand went, I forgot.

"Um.. what was it again?"

"You're not wearing a bra, are you?"

"No." His bicep keeps flexing, it's memorizing.

"What about panties?"

Dear lord. When his voice drops like that it makes me want to take off all my clothes.

"You should."

"What?"

"Take off all your clothes."

Shit. I must have said that aloud. I NEED to get that under control.

"So, what? you want me to roll around your bed naked?"

"Yes."

"While you watch?"

"Fuck YES!"

"And if you're feeling shy, you could always just stay in your panties. I don't mind, at ALL." He adds

"What if I'm not wearing panties?" I dare

"Even better.." He grins salaciously

I think Natsu might be a bit of a dirty boy, which is fine by me.

I rise up on my knees which means only my chest to mid-thigh is visible.

I ease my hands down my sides until I reach the waistband of my shorts. As far as they go, they don't cover much. I hook a thumb in each side of the waistband and drag it down over my hips.

"Oh, shit! " Natsu's eyes widen

I keep pulling them lower, but I stop before I give him a real peek. Trailing my fingers back up. Catching the hem of my tank, I start lifting it over my navel.

"Tell me about your belly ring."

"This?" I circle the little jewel with my fingertips.

"Yes, when did you get that?"

"When I was a teenager. My father forbade it, obviously."

"And you of course didn't listen." His voice husky.

"Such a naughty girl, aren't you?" Nastu asks, his eyes following the increasingly visible skin.

I pause when I graze the underside of my breast. And let out a moan, it's not fake either. Natsu's full lips are parted and his eyes turn more intense. If possible

I imagine if we were in the same room I'd already be naked and under him. I also have no idea where his hand disappeared. Then I realize what I'm doing probably isn't a great idea..

Am I even going to follow through on getting naked? He's not here to help me out and there's no way I'm going to masturbate for him on video chat. We're not even in a relationship. And oh shit, I think I know where his hand is.

I decide to let my tank top fall..

"Wait. What. No. Why!" Natsu groans in distress.

My shorts snap back into place.

Natsu's expression is the most comical thing I've ever seen.

"Babe, No! What're you doing?"

He reaches out and snatches up the phone as if he can climb through it.

"Why'd you stop?" His voice a low whine.

"It's after midnight, I need to go to bed and you need to go to work."

"Fuck work. You need to get naked!"

"I never said I'd get naked, you only suggested it." I tease

I pick up my phone and I pucker up and give him an air smooch.

"Have a great day Natsu! I'll talk to you later!"

"Lucy! Wait!" His eyes are wide and darting around crazily.

"II forbid you to take your clothes off." His smile screams victory

"That's not how it works!" I laugh out loud

"Come on Lucy, that's not nice." He pouts

"I'm not always nice." I wink before hanging up.

Sweet baby Jesus. I'm pretty sure we crossed every platonic line there is tonight.

End of Chapter 21.
