As always - Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima and everything Pradesh belongs to Desna.

A/N - Well, I'm not very well versed in writing what I just did, so I really hope you like it. Please read and review!

Kaleb was discussing Zen's return and a new armband he was working on with his father while Vander and Bickslow watched Lucas attempt to balance and walk across the babies in the parlor when Lucy and Farron arrived at the estate. "And where have you two been?" Bickslow teased when he spotted them.

"Lucy was kind enough to prevent me from having a very lonely dinner," Farron responded smoothly. Everyone in the room noted that Farron had his hand on her back as he led her into the house and hadn't removed it. "It turns out we have very similar tastes in Minstrellan cuisine." He relinquished his hand and turned Lucy to face him. "I had a wonderful time and would very much like to do so again. In the meanwhile, I'm afraid I have some paperwork to complete so that I can shift my schedule tomorrow. Good night Lucy." A quick side glance at his brothers and a tiny smirk too small for Lucy to notice occurred before he pulled her into a light kiss. "You are getting familiar with Boscan culture so I think it is only appropriate to say farewell properly now."

Lucy just stood frozen and blinked as she watched him leave. The room was completely silent until Bickslow let out a whistle and shouted at the closing door, "You dog you! Go go Farron!" This shook Lucy out of her stupor as she stammered a very embarrassed goodnight to everyone left staring at her and practically ran up the stairs. Lucas, visibly confused, jumped down from the totems and chased after.

Barely able to suppress the joy, Arman watched each of his son's reactions carefully. No real discernible change to Kaleb other than curiosity perhaps. Glee from Bickslow. Vander, well he did not appear happy at all. As expected, Vander's look of displeasure lasted less than a second before he was acting completely normal and started teasing Bickslow about who was the better acrobat. It was enough to have Arman toss the two outside so as not to destroy the house when they started in. He himself went back to his conversation with Kaleb about the new armlet as if nothing had happened. Internally his mind was racing through the possibilities however.

As much as he would be beyond pleased to see any of his sons start a true relationship with the lovely Celestial mage, Vander was the real surprise. He had never known the boy to show even a twitch of emotion towards anyone outside of family and Presca. He kept himself locked away to prevent harm to both himself and others. Although he didn't discuss it, Arman knew that Vander didn't feel he deserved a family of his own after what had happened to his own when he was a child. He knew he felt he could never have children and risk passing his magic to another. He would rather it become lost again once he finally left this world. And yet, Lucy seemed to bring out those hidden emotions and feelings even if just a little or for a short time before he locked himself up again. It was the most hope Arman had ever had for his youngest son.

Lucy would be a part of their lives always, there were too many signs to ignore fate's interference bringing her to them. No matter how her relationships evolved with each of them, it would be a blessing and he was positive of this. She had already gifted Cristoff with a loving mate and he was excited to see what the future would bring for the rest of the family. Not that he was above some interference of his own if needed.

Kaleb watched a smile spread across his father's face as he eyed the new armlet in his hands. "Dad?"

"Hmm? Oh, I was just thinking how wonderful it would be for Lucy and Zen to be able to spend some time together safely when he returns. Thank you Kaleb. Your work as always is impeccable." With that Arman bid his son goodnight and took the device to his office for use when his second oldest returned. He went to bed that night sorting out different plans to nudge things along and see which child ended up winning the heart of the Princess.

Cris, I am getting the feeling Dad is plotting something. Kaleb reached out mentally as he left the estate and headed back to the guild.

He tends to do that from time to time when he thinks we aren't doing what we should. What does it involve this time?

I'm fairly certain it is about Lucy. Do us all a favor and get your mate pregnant soon as a distraction.

"What are you laughing about?" Erza asked as she snuggled into her mate's arms in bed.

"A request from my brother that I am very happy to attempt to oblige," he answered as he kissed her thoroughly and rolled her underneath his body.

Cassie couldn't help but giggle a little as she watched Lucy pace while waiting for her partner's arrival. "Deep breaths Lucy. There is nothing to be nervous about. This will be a beautiful and pleasant experience I promise."

"But what if I do something wrong? What if I'm not any good?" Lucy tugged on her silk robe anxiously, unknowingly pulling the front apart slightly.

"There is no right or wrong or good or bad here. Just feel and do what feels good." Cassie replied calmly with a smile. "After all, you did choose a partner very well." She added as Farron walked into the room dressed only in the same blue silk robe.

Lucy turned her head to look at Farron and oddly her nerves seemed to instantly calm. His eyes held a warmth as he smiled gently and walked across the room to stand before her. His robe was parted in the middle showing off a very well defined chest and abdomen. The image of him leaving the bath on her journey to Bosco flashed into her mind at that moment. She was about to be able to touch every inch of this man. The sound of Cana shouting her approval ran through her mind bringing a smile to her face.

Farron took her hands in his and kissed her gently in greeting, then turned his head to Cassie. "Thank you for joining us today Ambassador," she started. "Lucy, I will give some instruction along the way, but you are free to do things at the pace you are comfortable with."

Farron led her to the bed and simply sat with her and waited. She looked beautiful as always, her long hair was piled up in a messy bun with loose strands curling about her face. Her eyes were bright and she was slightly flushed. The front of the robe parted further as they sat and he could see the curve of her generous breast. His hands itched to begin touching her, but since this was her first time he knew that it was up to her to initiate.

"Ambassador, please lay down." Cassie waited for him to get situated. "Lucy, arrange yourself comfortably next to or over him and feel his body. Get used to how he feels in your hands and the reactions you see and hear. Explore."

Lucy nodded in response and took a deep breath before turning and kneeling next to Farron. She noticed he had tied his long hair back except for the braid. She took the braid in her hand and felt the texture of his soft hair in her hand for a moment before laying it back over his chest. She met his gaze and once again, the nerves calmed.

Slowly she began to run her hands over his chest, feeling the hard muscles underneath the soft skin. Her breath hitched for a moment when she ran a nail across a nipple and felt him react slightly. She looked up from her exploring to see he was still watching her and smiling. Feeling a little more confident, she spread his robe further open and ran her hands down his sides. She traced his eagle tattoo and made a note to ask him more about it later.

Moving lower she felt his calves and migrated upwards to his thighs. She had never seen him workout like some of his brothers but it was obvious he did and kept in very good shape. She was almost jealous of how toned he was. His robe was still cinched at his waste loosely but she let her hands roam upwards underneath until they were tickled by soft hair. She heard an intake of breath and once again looked to his face to check his reaction. His eyes were partially closed and she could see his breathing had become faster.

"Feel free to use not just your hands, use all of your senses. Learn his scent, his taste." Cassie prompted.

Lucy turned on the bed again and leaned over Farron further. Taking a chance, she kissed him softly. Farron's hands began twitching. He wasn't sure how much longer he could keep them to himself. He was aching to touch her in return. She kissed along his jawline and moved to his ear. Her breath was hot on his skin as she breathed in his scent. Getting adventurous and recalling her lessons about sensitive places, she kissed his ear before pulling the earlobe into her mouth. Farron clenched his hands and let out a soft moan. Lucy moved down slightly and smiled into his neck before continuing to explore with her tongue. This is that power that Cana and Cassie had told her about. She never understood until now, how she could feel so in control and empowered until she heard that moan and felt his body tighten up. She did that to him, it was her touch that made him lose his own control even if just a little.

She pushed the robe further off of his upper body as she explored with both her hands and her mouth. She pulled a nipple into her mouth and Farron couldn't keep still any longer. His hand reached out and he wrapped an arm partially around her pulling her closer. She grinned into his chest and let her other hand roam lower until she undid the belt around his waist and let his robe fall completely open. Her hand tentatively felt his manhood, it was both hard and soft at the same time. Farron moaned again and his grip tightened.

"Ambassador, please explore Lucy in return."

Mentally he thanked the gods as he pulled Lucy on top of him sitting her over his abdomen. Her eyes were sparkling and for a moment he paused just to enjoy the look of joy and excitement on her face. He ran his hands along her strong legs and upwards along her backside until he reached the belt of her robe. Gently massaging he looked in her eyes and silently pleaded to be able to remove the robe. She nodded. He deftly removed it entirely and admired the view. His hands moved up to her chest and she closed her eyes as he felt every inch of her skin. He sat up with her still over him, placing her in his lap effectively.

Farron pulled her into a deep kiss and wrapped his arms around her massaging her back at the same time. He licked and sucked on her bottom lip and she moaned finally allowing him access to her mouth. Lucy had never felt anything like this before, as a warmth spread through her. She clung to him like he was her lifeline as he explored her mouth with his tongue and she tentatively reciprocated. A part of her brain noted she was getting moist and she was sure that Farron could tell because of how she was situated. But she pushed any self-consciousness aside, reminding herself that it was normal and her body's way of preparing her for what was still to come. Finally letting each other breathe, Farron kissed his way down her chest and took a nipple into his mouth. Electricity shot through her at the sensation and she couldn't help the sounds that she was emitting. She could feel his hardness underneath her and it just excited her further.

Farron adjusted them so that she was laying on the bed and he was above her as he trailed his mouth further down her toned belly. His fingers reached their ultimate destination and she jumped slightly as he explored her. He wanted to make sure to prepare her well so there was little to no pain. He ran small circles on her with his thumb as he slowly inserted one finger. He kept watch on her face as he progressed to ensure she was enjoying every moment. Lucy was mindless, just feeling all of the new sensations. It was so different from when she had done this to herself. She could feel the electricity building and knew it wouldn't be long. Part of her wondered how he would react if she orgasmed all over his hand, but the rest of her didn't care as long as he didn't stop. She distantly noted he had inserted another finger as the feelings kept washing over her. Meanwhile his mouth never left her skin as he continued with his hand and worked his way back up to another deep kiss. That was what threw her over the edge as she moaned into his mouth and spasmed underneath him.

Giving her a moment to recover, he removed his hand and kissed and suckled on her neck. He finished removing his robe that was still partially on, then aligned himself with her and waited for her breathing to recover. "Are you ready?" he asked softly. She replied with a breathy yes and he kissed her once again before slowly inserting himself. No matter how much he prepared her, she was going to be tight and he would take this as slow as necessary. He kept asking her if she was okay as he continued to push into her.

Lucy was surprised it wasn't painful, she had heard so many stories. It was an odd feeling of stretching, but it didn't hurt. She kept reassuring Farron he could continue. Slowly he worked his way in inch by inch. There was no barrier, but Cassie had told her that was possible due to all of her mage work that it could have been lost long ago. Once seated, he fought himself to remain still, checking on Lucy once again. The fullness was a new sensation for Lucy, but not a bad one.

Eventually Farron just couldn't hold still any longer and he slowly began to move within her. This is when Lucy learned exactly what pleasure could actually be. It was indescribable what she was feeling. Her hands and nails scraped along his back as he moved, she moaned loudly. She almost felt a compulsion to touch and taste him and just did what felt right at the moment. The sensations just kept building and building until the dam broke and she came, he followed suit right after. Cassie had given her Boscan birth control when they first started their sessions so there was no reason to worry about any unexpected consequences.

Both were sweaty and sticky afterwards as Farron rolled her over with him so he was underneath and she lay on his chest. Softening, he remained inside her and kissed her gently. She was surprised how tired she was and had a feeling she would be sore the next day. Their relaxing was broken when Cassie chimed in suggesting a bath. The facility had a good sized bathhouse, and both were very agreeable to take advantage. As they collected their robes and headed towards the bath, Lucy started to become self-conscious again. What would their relationship be like now that they had done this? She liked Farron quite a bit, but he was Boscan so this might not mean anything to him. She also had to sort out what it meant to her.
