The pounding from my head woke me up. I was in a dark room, most likely a basement. There was a dim light above me, giving me the smallest hope. It was dead silent, no one around. It didn't take me long to figure that they had captured me. My arms were handcuffed above my head against the wall. My chest felt heavy thinking of my last meeting with my friends. Of Natsu, was he alive? He had to. He would never forgive me what I did to him.

The temperature inside here is cold. They had stripped me of my clothes, only leaving my underwear. Taking all my knives. My head fell to my knees, feeling ashamed of myself.

The sound of the door unlocks, and I hoped for that it would be Natsu stepping in.

"Gray?" I looked confused as my eyes landed on someone I used to call a friend. "Where-"

"Shut up." Not allowing me to finish my sentence cut Gray me coldly. The guilt came rushing back. Natsu wasn't the only one I hurt. I looked down on his arm where I had stabbed him. I was about to ask how he was, but I hold my breath knowing he wouldn't bother answering. I watched him pacing back and forth, most likely not knowing where to start.

"Natsu. Where is he?" Gray stopped in his tracks, staring at me.

"I'm sorry to inform you that he is not dead." A heavy weight was lifted of my shoulder.

"Let me see him."

"You? See him?" Laughing at my request. "That privileged is no longer yours."

"Gray..." Holding back the urge to cry.

"So how long have you been working for Tartaros?" The words stung as he said them.

"Since the day I vanished."

"You think I'm going to believe that?"

"It's the truth." I bite my lip before I continued. "I lost my memories-"

"No more lies!" They were not even going to hear me out, what I had to say. Explain what had happened to me, what they had done. "I'll be back when you stop telling lies.

"No, Gray! Wait!" Not even looking at me, Gray ignored my scream for help. Leaving me all alone again.

Hours passed, might even be days. I lost track of time. He had to come back. I had to prove it to them that it was all Tartaros's plan against Fairy Tail Industries. But why would they believe me when Gildarts was there too. They were probably looking for a mole.

Finally sounds were coming from the door, before it opened slowly.

"Gray, finally!" My heart stopped when I watched Natsu stepping into the room, as he locked the door behind him. I studied his back, watching his bandaged torso. Natsu turned around facing me and the sudden feel of fear filled me. Just standing there before me, not saying a word. I suddenly felt mute, struggling to get out a word.

"You got me." I looked confused up at him, what was he getting at. "You fooled me. All of us."

"I didn't remember anything when they took me. But I do now."

"You and Gildarts were all in on this together all along?"

"No! He was the one who taught me to fight and was my mentor after what happened." Natsu didn't even look interested in talking to me. "I'm not with Tartaros. My memories are back. You have to believe me."

"Like I did before you gutted me?" My eyes flickered from his wound to his onyx eyes.

"I'm sorry..." Ashamed of him confronting me with my action. Breaking the gaze fell my eyes to the ground, not able to look at him properly.

"Was this your plan all along? To kill me?" Tears slide down my cheeks, before they landed on the floor. Natsu approached me, standing over me. I felt so little.

"I love you." I didn't know what to say or what to do to make him believe me.

"You were away for a long time." Natsu's statement took me off guard. I looked up at him before he crouches down before me. "Remember Lisanna.?" Saying it with a smirk on his face.

I suddenly remembered to when I followed them to the apartment. He was with her. They were together. My blood was boiling over with anger. Out off all people, he had to choose her. HER. All I wanted now was to get him out of my sight. He said it like nothing mattered and that he had given up our relationship. Everything we had been through, for nothing. Not giving him anymore of my attention, looked I the other way.

"Good to see you moved on." My voice was stern as the words was poison to my lips.

"But what are we going to do about you?" It was almost like he was mocking. Making me embarrassed.

"Mard Geer will give you a good deal." It just slipped my lips, quickly realizing it wasn't something I should said. Angry over Natsu's comments and behavior. I only said it to get him out off my face. He didn't know what everyone else knew over at Tartaros. Mard had fixed his gaze at me and was determined to get it as he wanted. Mard wanted me to be his.

"Why are you so sure when you are not a part of them." Natsu was suddenly interested. Great. How the fuck will he believe me now? I kept my eyes on the ground not wanting to answer him. Natsu's temper suddenly rose as he grabbed me firmly by the chin, wanting me to look at him while I said it. "Why would he sacrifice so much for you? If you're not with Tartaros?"

"He…" It was hard to say it out loud to him, out of all people.

"Spit it out!"

"We're engaged!" Natsu's hands slammed next to my head. Locking me between them. He was suddenly so close.

"What!?" I looked into his eyes, they were burning with jealousy. His heavy breath brushing my lips and the scent of his perfume, made my heart beat a little faster.

"We're engaged." My eyes were locked on Natsu as he were studying my face. "He will come for me."

"Have you been with another man?" His look softened, almost disappointed. With a slow motion, Natsu's hands slide down my neck, cherishing me with his thumb. Like nothing had happened.

"No." It was in that moment I realized it was all an act. He wanted to be sure. He never gave up. I rested my forehead on his. "Even then I knew it wasn't supposed to be him, he wasn't the one I was meant to be with."

"Lucy…"

Natsu let go of me and retrieved a key from his pocket and unlocked the cuffs. The moment it released a hold of me, I wrapped my arms around his neck. Resting my head in the crock of his neck. Feeling his warmth, taking in the smell I missed so much. Melting into his embrace, feeling the love he had for me, the longing we had for each other were finally over.

"I'm so sorry Natsu." Breaking our hug, wanting him to look at me while I said it. He just gave me smile before he locked his lips on mine. Capturing them, making them his. I moaned at his touch, feeling his hands wander around on my body. Eager to taste him more, bitt I down on his lower lip. Our tongues clashed together and danced with each other, fighting for dominance. Locking my fingers in his pink hair, wanting him closer. Natsu's hands wandered down under my buttocks, holding me firmly before he lifted me up from the cold floor. Wrapping my legs around his waist. Natsu made a low growl in pain. I was about to separate us from our kiss concerned, but Natsu just pushed me up against the wall continuously kissing me passionately.

"Do you know how hard for me this was?" Breaking our kiss, before he wandered down to my neck, leaving a trace of butterfly kisses. "Not to devour you on the spot. Seeing you like this." Panting against my skin. A moan slipped my lips as Natsu's nibbled on my breast. I had forgotten how powerful Natsu's touch was and how it made me feel. This uncontrolled desire. I could feel his hardness pressed up against me. It had been too long. Sliding my hand down to his lower torso to feel his hardness.

"Not here." Natsu let go of me, holding me close to him. Ignoring his remark, I slide down to my knees before him. Unbuckling his belt and letting his pants fall down his legs. I keep my eyes on him the whole time, wanting to see the satisfaction on his face. I slightly massage his member trough his boxers. He brushes my hair away from my face, stroking it as I remove the last piece of clothing. Taking his member in my hands and begin to stroke it slowly. I can feel Natsu tensing up at my touch. Increasing the speed, as I liked my lips before I placed my mouth around his member.

Keeping my eyes locked with Natsu's onyx eyes, he grabbed a hold of my hair as it followed my movements. Natsu bitt down on his lower lip as a groan slipped from his lips. Removing my lips, I traced the tip of the tongue down his shaft.

Natsu swiftly pushed me up and against the wall again.

"I can't wait anymore. You're such a tease." I smiled triumphally at him. suddenly things were feeling just like before. Once more he grabbed me by the buttocks and lifted me up. Moving away the thin fabric that was cowering my entrance, before he plunged himself into me. Clasping his lips onto mine, as I felt his throbbing member filling me completely. I grabbed a hold of his neck, pulling him closer to me. Tightening his hold on me and increased his movement, making me moan loudly.

"I've missed you." How did I manage to live without him for so long? I couldn't get enough of his touch. I felt him smirk against my lips, as he pushed himself harder inside of me. Wanting to increase my pleasure. Digging my nails into his back as I was close to my edge. Biting my lips, breaking our kiss. Natsu's burning gaze looking at my flushed face as I try to compress my moans. Placing his forehead on mine as his heavy breathing brush across my wet lips. Sending me into ecstasy.

"I love you too." Natsu had a few swift thrusts before he reached his limit. Kissing me passionately as we finally had tasted each other once more in a very long time. As he let go off me, his face looked like he was in pain. I looked down on his stomach and the white bandage were turning red.

"Natsu!" He placed a hand on the wound and gave me a wake smile.

"It's nothing." He dressed himself casually, like nothing happened.

"You need to get that checked out."

"Let's get out of here." I straightened my clothes, before I rushed over to Natsu, grabbing his arm. He was right. It would be nice to finally come home.

We went out in the hallway behind the door and I realized we were at Fairy Tail Industries. I knew they hade a room for this kind of events, when it was needed.

"What's wrong?" Natsu startled me as he suddenly stopped in his tracks. I looked around in the empty hallway.

"Where is everybody?" Natsu stormed off, jumping in a door further up the hallway.

"Natsu?" I walked after my lover, to see what the matter was. The sound of a fight suddenly filled the silence just seconds before. I ran to the door Natsu jumped in. A whimper escaped my lips at the sight.

"Mard Geer." Natsu stood in the middle of the room with a gag silencing him, with two thugs holding his arms still. It was a surveillance room. For my room.

"Yes, darling." His voice was agitated, with his eyes fixed on me. "So, you remember?" I nodded at his question, as kept my eyes on Natsu who were bleeding more from his wound then before. "You gave us quiet the show in there." Pointing at the screen.

"Let him go." I tried to say it with a confident voice, but we were finally together again. I didn't want to lose Natsu again.

"Not very convincing when your standing there in that." Addressing to my revealing clothes. Mard Geer pulled out a knife, playing around with it, walking over to Natsu. Gently placing the knife close to his wound.

"I beg you. Don't hurt him." Mard only gave me a vicious smile.

"There should be a punishment after what you just did. We're engaged after all." He gave Natsu a small cut opening the bandage. My eyes flickered between Natsu and Mard. "I gave you one last moment together." Mard pierced Natsu's skin, making him grimace from the pain.

"Don't!"

"Marry me and I'll spare his life." Natsu's look said it all. He was willing to die rather then I marry that man. He looked weaker for every minute going by, I couldn't watch it. Mard thought I was taking a longer time then needed for my answer. And moved the knife up to Natsu's throat. Starting to slice him slowly.

"YES!" I panicked and moved towards Natsu, but Mard stopped me in my path. Looking for that confirmation. "I… I will marry you." My tearful eyes fell on Natsu, who were slightly bleeding from his neck.

"Wonderful darling." He wrapped his jacket around my shoulders. Leading the way for the exit. We took the elevator up to the ground floor. As we walked past the reception were almost every one of the people I know and love, held at gunpoint by several man standing around. I locked eyes with Gray who were sitting close by.

"Mard, please, no!" I desperately grabbed a hold of his arm. "I'll do everything you want!" Tears overwhelmed me. "Just don't hurt them."

"Mhm… I don't like it when you cry." It looked like he was giving it a thought for a second there. "On one condition."

"Anything." There wasn't a chance in the world that I would let him harm Natsu or my friends. I will do anything I can. Mard looked satisfied with my answer. He leaned in and whispered into my ear.

"You will fully and completely give yourself to me. Tonight" My chest felt heavy by his words, making it hard to breath.

"You will honor your promise not to hurt them?"

"You have my word." Even though Mard have said it, I'm scared that he's not an honorable man.

"Then you have mine."
