Chapter 26 - The Jig is Up.

Lucy POV:

What the hell is Natsu doing hanging out with Dan?!

Well, I guess it's not that hard to believe, considering all the wealthy people in this city know each other.

I leave back to work in a shit mood. Not even my costume perks me up and it's glamorous. It's sheer, fine, and flimsy. It's on the revealing side, which isn't irregular for burlesque performances.

Ezra and the girls are beside me applying makeup.

Her hair always looks so sleek, I'm learning all the best tricks from each of them.

My least favorite is glitter though, it gets into everything.

"What are the chances you can hook me up with a single friend of yours?" asks Cana

I stop applying makeup to glance at her.

"I only knew three of them there, One of them being the douchbag, another is engaged to my best friend, and Natsu.. but, he's off limits.

"Aw there's no need to worry, it was clear from the very beginning Pinky only had eyes for you."

"What?!"

"Are you surprised? We're surprised he didn't throw you over his shoulder and lock you in his bedroom with the way he was looking at you."

"Hm.."

"So how good is he?"

"Don't know." I shrug

"Wait, can you repeat that?"

"We're not sleeping together." I shrug

"Are you serious? I could have sworn you guys were giving each other the fuck-me eyes."

"We're not." I sigh

"I bet that'll change once he sees your solo." She winks

"Yeah maybe I should practice my solo in our living room next time." I snicker

"Or you could perform it here and he wouldn't have to wait as long." Ezra suggests

"What are you talking about?" I ask

"I invited him and his friends tonight." She smiles

"You did wh-what?!"

"Relax Lucy, you move like magic, he's gonna love it."

I can't tell her Natsu doesn't know about this job. I really like this job, the girls have been great. They're far more sincere than a lot of girls I've grown up with, or deal with at social events.

But I've been lying to everyone..The Fairytail girls. My best friend Levy. And Natsu, whose become more than an employer and roommate.

They've been nothing but generous with me and I've kept this a secret because part of me is ashamed I'm not good enough. And now Natsu is going to watch me on that stage.

I grab my phone and shoot him a text.

ME: Please Don't come tonight.

He sends me a picture of the business card, along with a message.

NATSU: This doesn't look like dinner theater.

I can practically feel the disapproval.

ME: I know.

NATSU: I'll see you soon.

"Shit." I groan.

"What's wrong?"

"Natsu is coming.." I grimace

"Well come on then, you shouldn't keep him waiting!"

My stomach is in knots, I barely finish getting ready.

Once it's show time I remind myself that I am damn good at this. So if he wants to see me, then he'll see me.

We're halfway through through the first set when I spot him, it's impossible not too. His stature, his hair, his olive eyes full blown onyx and looking straight at me.

He props himself against the wall at the back with his arms crossed against his chest. His features practically scream angry and pissed.

Damn, does he ever look furious.

The fact that it's towards me irks me. He doesn't have a right to be mad at me for this job. So he can shove his judging eyes right up his tight ass!

Once our set is done, I have to change costumes for my solo. It's a little less sassy and more classy. It's still pretty sensual, yet not too excessive.

Natsu is still standing in the same spot. Once the spotlight hits, I could only see his silhouette. It's the longest four minutes of my life. I force a smile to the crowd applauding. I see Natsu clapping slowly and steady, but everything about him still dark and intense.

Mira stops me on the way to the dressing room.

"There's a guy here looking for you? Says he's here to pick you up?"

"Salmon hair? Angry? Gorgeous?"

"That would be him. Your boyfriend?" She waggles her eyebrows.

I sigh. "Can you tell him to wait for me at the employee entrance?"

"Sure." She winks

I don't bother changing out of my costume. I grab outfit and shove it in my bag. I wear an oversized cardigan and leave my makeup alone. I'll fix everything up once I'm home.

When he sees me, there's no smile or greeting. I get a cold stare and —

"Let's go."

He turns left barely glancing at me. I didn't change from my heels and all these potholes along with his fast pace is making it hard to keep up.

"Would you slow down?! This isn't a race."

Natsu whirls around so suddenly, I have to put out my hands to keep from face planting into his chest. His hands balled into fists, nostrils flared and breath heaving.

Sweet lord he looks deliciously angry. He's wearing a pair of blue denim jeans, and a white button up shirt, open at the collar. I can see his scar.

His left cheek tics.

"You didn't seem to have a problem with those shoes onstage." He snaps

"The stage was a flat surface!" I snap

"Do you want me to carry you?"

"If you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly dressed for a piggy back ride." I huff

"Oh, I've noticed." His gaze

hungry.

With that, he takes a step forward and wraps an arm around the very top of my thighs.

"What are you doing?!"

"Taking you home." He says simply

"Are you freaking kidding me!"

I yelp

We pass dozens of people and Natsu grins and greets them like he's not carrying me through the parking lot like a caveman! Not a single person we've passed asked if I was okay!

He sets me down beside his truck. He reaches around me to open the door.

I cross my arms around my chest. "That was completely over the top and unnecessary."

"I disagree. So would you like to get into the truck now Lucy."

"Not really, no." His eye twitches.

"Let's get you inside now, please..Before some thugs come."

"Thugs?"

"Could you please just get into the damn truck, Lucy?!" He barks out

"Fine." Geez

He wraps his arm around his waist pulling me up tight against him. I huff then gasp a little. I swear I feel hardness against my stomach.

He sets me down quickly though, takes my bag and holds the door open waiting till I'm inside. Closing it harder than necessary.

His jaw twitching and brow furrowed as he rounds to the drivers seat without a word.

He pulls into the street, still silent. The silence is killing me. I'm the first the break.

"You have no reason to judge me."

"I'm not." I scoff.

He turns his heads to look at me, I glare back.

"Why would I judge you?"

"Oh come on, look at me Natsu." I gesture to my costume I'm still wearing.

"I'm looking."

He gives me a smoldering look from head to toe before facing front and shifting gears.

"But, you know what I think?"

"What's that?"

"You're judging yourself. Not me."

I bite my lip trying to think of a snarky comeback but realize he's right. I am judging myself. I'm so worried about what other people will think of my choices lately. Everything in my life right now is temporary and in doing so I've labeled myself unsuccessful.

"I am judging myself, how could I not! This isn't the way I thought my career would turn." My voice cracks.

"—However, that doesn't explain why you're being such a jerk with me!" I add

"You really have no idea?" His eyes searching mine.

"No!"

"It's because you lied to me, Lucy!"

"Stretched the truth." I avoid his gaze.

He's gripping the steering wheel tight and expels a frustrated breath.

"That is way different from dinner theater Lucy." He shakes his head.

"Well, what did you want me to say?! —Hey Natsu, I have a job dancing half naked in a burlesque-show?!"

"YES, Lucy! That's exactly what I want from you..The TRUTH!" He roars

"Why does it even matter so much? I'm only your pet sitter!"

I know I'm not just his pet sitter. And that this thing between us has turned into something more.

Natsu's teeth grind and his jaw tics. He curses under his breath.

"Is that what you really think? That you're just my pet sitter?"

"Aren't I?"

"You live in my home and I gave you all my codes and information. I completely trusted you.. and you broke it. Why? All because you think I won't approve of your job?"

"Do you approve?"

"Well if you're just my pet sitter, why should it matter." He shoots back

After some more silence, he continues.

"—Listen, I don't like the neighborhood you work in. I also don't like that you take the subway home so late."

"I get a cab sometimes."

"But does someone walk you out every night? Make sure you're safe?"

"Sometimes the bouncer walks us out. But it's really not that bad of an area. Besides my last apartment wasn't exactly in the greatest neighborhood either. And I managed just fine."

"Were you dressed like this?" He gestures to me

Grr..

"I normally change."

Natsu turns right and pulls into the underground lot. He lets me get out on my own.

"Not going to throw me over your shoulder again?"

"Would you like me to?" My skin tingles

He looks me over, gaze angry. It's annoying how hot he is when he's mad.

"No." .. yes

I follow him into the lobby. His body partially covering mine as we pass the security.

"What, Natsu? Worried you'll be seen with me?"

He gives me an icy glare, slides the keycard that takes us to the penthouse. Natsu lets the door close with a heavy slam. Throws the keys on the counter, kicks his shoes off and stalks down the hall.

"Where are you going?!" I call after him

"To my room."

"That's it?!"

"Well I'd like to get changed." He starts unbuttoning the cuffs from his shirt.

"No! You came all the way to my work to glare at me, drive me home, fume in silence or rant. And now you're just going to bed?!"

He marches back down the hall toward me, his eyes blazing.

"No.. I came to your work so I could see you there myself. I wanted to see for myself if it was true. I stayed to see you perform. That's why, Lucy!" He growls.

"—So if you don't mind, I'd like to get changed now.. and so should you."

"Well, what if I don't want to?"

"I'm leaving, I can't have this conversation with you while you're dressed like.. like." gesturing to my body.

I pop my chest out. I'm rocking some nice cleavage and this outfit doesn't leave much to imagination. His eyes drop.

"Like what, huh?"

"Like this!" He barks

"And I'm dressed like what exactly?"

I know the answer, I just want him to say it. I want a reason to go off on him.

His face heated, and nostrils flared. He takes a deep breath before closing his eyes. Opening them again, I see his mesmerizing onyx eyes glowering at me.

"Everyone was looking at you!" He snarls

"They're supposed to!"

"Well, do you have to wear this?!"

"Yes! It's part of performing!"

I've never actually felt sexier than when I'm dancing in my costumes.

"Why do you have to look so.. so—" he takes a step closer, hands clenched at his sides.

I lift my chin challenging him to say what I know he wants to.

"So what, Natsu?" I step closer.

"So fucking HOT!" He growls

Um what? Those weren't the words I expected.

"I'm supposed to look hot! It's how I make money! So now you're mad because I'm too provocative?!"

"Yes! No! You lied to me.. About this. You! Ugh. You're driving me batshit crazy! I want —"

"What do you want, Natsu?"

We're almost nose to nose. He's leaning down and I'm on my tiptoes.

His hands flex at his sides.

He's examining every inch of my face. Contemplating?

"YOU! Fuck. I want you!" He snarls.

"Well, aren't you going to show me?" My voice a raspy whisper.

His hand reaches out, fingers slipping through my hair, twisting the strands. His hold tightens as he tilts my head back to face his.

"Oh baby, I'll do more than show you." He tugs on my hair tighter. Then his mouth is on mine. This kiss is nothing like our kiss at the engagement party. This kiss is an explosion of weeks of pent-up sexual frustration.

His tongue pushes past my lips, and I clasp onto his hair, he groans.

Sweet lord can this man kiss.

Natsu slides his hand under my skirt. He pulls me against him by grabbing my glitter covered ass. I can feel his immense hard-on against my stomach. It feels oh so delicious.

I free my hands and grab his ass too. Natsu's grip tightens and he shifts his hips, seeking friction.

He breaks the kiss with heavy pants and dazed eyes.

"I want you in my bed." He says roughly before kissing me again.

"You should have stayed on my bed that night I came home." Peppering soft kisses along my jawline

"I slept in your bed every night you were gone." I moan

"Did you do anything else in my bed?" His eyes twinkle

His lips just above mine, gripping my hair firmly. Waiting for an answer.

"I played with Happy." I tease

"Anything else?" He licks my lips, taunting me.

"Like?" I bite my lip

His nose brushing against my cheek and his lips at my ear.

"Did you pleasure yourself on my bed."

"Yess." I whimper

"Fuck!" He bites and sucks on my earlobe.

"Tell me how." His hand roaming down my side.

I suck in a breath when his fingers graze the edge of my panties. He follows it until the inside of my thigh.

"I want you to tell me how babe."

I'm a little too preoccupied by his fingers to think straight right now.

"How I-I made myself come?"

"Yes. Did you finger-fuck yourself thinking about me? Mm?" His tongue sweeping across my neck.

"Did you?" He cups me through my panties. I moan out an ineligible yes.

"How often?"

"Every night.."

He slips his hand down the front of my panties. His fingers skimming over my clit. He slides a single finger inside.

"Like this, Baby?"

I nod fiercely and grab onto his shoulders.

"Harder and more."

"More fingers?" He backs so his eyes are on mine.

This man is irresistible. "Yes."

He adds another finger, pumping slowly. God those fingers are long and thick.

"Like this?"

"Faster and harder.. please" I cry out.

His smile is absolutely sinister.

"All you had to do was ask."

He pumps harder and faster.

I wail, grabbing onto his shirt. "Natsu.."

"I can't wait to hear what you'll sound like when you're coming on my fingers."

"Oh my fucking god, Natsu! I want.. fuck!."

"There's my naughty girl." He chuckles

He kisses me hard and deep, moving up the speed of his fingers faster and harder until I'm trembling. My orgasm rolls through me in shock waves. I look up in lust when I see him lick them off. Before I can say or do anything, I find myself pinned to the wall by Natsu's hips.

Yanking his shirt over his head, I run my hands over his chest. It's a spectacular chest. So firm, so defined, so well- built.

"Like what you see?"

"Very much."

"Likewise." He grabs the hem of my outfit and pulls it over my head.

"I fucking love this." He flicks the jewel on my belly.

Dragging my glitter panties down my legs. "Fucking finally."

"Lucy do you know what I'm going to do to you now?" His tongue sweeps across his bottom lip.

The anticipation is exhilarating. It's such a turn on hearing him.

"No?" Natsu runs his palms inside of my thighs

"Hm, you really don't know?"

"Why don't you tell me?"

A devilish smirk full of promise makes my body shiver.

Natsu rubs his nose over my pelvis, the softest brush. His eyes lift to mine.

"I'm going to tongue fuck your pretty pussy until you come all over my face."

"Would you like that, Lucy?"

"Yess, please." I say impatient

"So fucking eager, aren't you."

He chuckles

He hooks a thumb behind the back of my leg and lifts it, resting it over his shoulders, and then he starts. There is nothing soft and sweet about the way Natsu is eating me out. Each stroke is intense, ruthless, long, wild, and flaming hot.

Oh god— is he growling? Yes, definitely a growl.

I grab onto his hair while he tongue fucks a second orgasm out of me. My knees buckle and I cry out his name. When the white lights of heaven fade out and I can breathe and see again, I realize I'm now on the floor.

And Natsu is still going. He's a pussy licking machine and he's sending me over the edge again. All sensation overriding every thought. God I'm in love with this man's tongue. My eyes roll up and my vision disappears into stars.

Stubble by my clit draws my attention back to Natsu. Lips swollen, hair is in disarray and grin full of dirty promises.

"At least we made it to the bedroom." In two quick steps he picks me up and tosses me onto his mattress. I bounce once before he pounces.

Settling on top of me, between my thighs that somehow parted like magic. His mouth is back in mine and his hips grinding on mine. The way he moves his hips makes the perfect friction.

"I can't wait to fuck you." His lips moving down my neck nipping and sucking.

"Don't you want me to suck you first?"

He stops and meets my gaze.

"Say that again."

"Want me to suck you?"

"Such a naughty girl." He sweeps a thumb along my lip before slipping it inside.

I suck his thumb and show him what I'm about to do. While looking into his eyes, I give him a little nip and his expression goes dark.

"I hope you're careful when my cock is in between those luscious lips of yours."

I swirl my tongue around the tip of his tongue and kiss it.

"If I want to try and get my lips around that monster. I'm pretty sure I have too."

"You don't think you can handle it?" He grins

"We'll just have to try and see, won't we." I wink

He shoves his pants over his hips and kicks them off. Now hovering over me, he

straddles me so his knees are on either side of my chest. His cock fisted in his hand. Sweet lord this man makes me want to give him the most amazing blow job. Except he's seriously well endowed, I'd have to unhinge my jaw. He angles his erection down, so the tip is close to my chin. His expression intense as he adjusts his hips forward and the head slides in. His lips parting the same time mine do.

He groans when I press my tongue ahead to circle the tip. "I can't tell you enough how many times I've fantasized about this."

I keep my eyes on his as he bites his lip and pushes in further. "How much more can you take?"

I take him out with a pop and lick my lips. "Let's find out."

I take him back inside inch by inch, running my tongue along the head at the same time, swirling it around the tip. I run my hands up his muscular thighs and around to grab his firm ass. He goes in further and and deeper. I get one hand and fondle his balls.

"Fuck!" He groans.

He grabs onto my hair. I start some suction and slurping. The noises seem to draw some more noises out of him.

"You're fucking gorgeous with my cock in your mouth."

I open my mouth wider until the head hits the back of my throat. "Oh! Fuck! Lucy!"

on the next wet suctioned suck he cups the back of my hair and starts thrusting his hips vigorously. Now face fucking me, I move both hands to his ass to hold onto. I knead one side and claw at the other.

"Shit! Stop.." Panting, he pulls out of my mouth.

"But, I was just getting started." For the first time I actually want to keep going.

"And I'd love to finish off in that amazing mouth of yours, but we can save that for another time." He moves down and kisses my lips gently.

Then moves down to my bountiful breasts. First holding them, squeezing them and kneading them. Tugging and twisting my nipples.

Lowering his head he starts to lick around the arreola. Nibbling and biting everywhere besides my nipples. "Natsu! Please!"

Grinning he finally laps up the left one aggressively while his hand tweaks the right one fiercely. I'm a moaning mess.

"Natsu.. I..I want your cock. Now!"

"All you had to do was ask." He winks

"Tell me Lucy, how flexible are you?"

"Pretty flexible. Why?"

"Just trying to decide which position I want to fuck you in."

Oh my, this man has a way with words.

Natsu reaches my knees, then reverses the movement. His wide palms wrapping around my ankles.

"Open up beautiful"

He moves spreading my legs farther apart. Looking up from between my legs, he fists his cock.

"I'm going to fuck you in every possible position I can bend you. You ready Babe?"

"Oh god, yes!" He smirks at my eagerness.

When he rubs the head of his cock over my clit I moan and lift my hips upwards. I can feel him thick and hard against my pelvis. I try to readjust our position.

He eases his hips back and his thick rod slides over my clit, the head afterwards. "Such a pretty pussy." After rolling on a condom, he's pushing inside and we're both on cloud nine. I'm moaning, he's groaning. Definitely worth the wait.

The first few strokes are slow as I adjust. After that, Natsu's chivalry goes out the window as he hammers into me, hips slamming against mine, frantic and rough. It's passionate, heated, unrestrained. It's absolutely sinful.

I come again and again as he growls dirty things in my ear. How amazing my pussy feels squeezing his cock, how it belongs to him and no one else now.

I love it.

After he comes he collapses on top of me. He stops his weight on his twitching forearms. Before turning us over and laying me on top of him.

"Does this mean you're not angry with me anymore?"

"For now."

"So you have plans to be angry later then?"

"Well I wouldn't mind being angry again if that was the outcome." He grins widely.

I roll my eyes and snuggle further into him getting more comfortable.

"Goodnight Natsu."

"Goodnight Lucy."

End of Chapter 26.

Sorry I haven't updated lately but I've been really busy. I hope this chapter makes up for it though.
