REPOSTING CAUSE SOME PEOPLE CAN'T READ IT - No changes were made

CONTENT WARNING: Foreplay and Sex

Hiya!

I guess I'm just updating on Tuesday now? Anyway, last chapter before the epilogue. Which means we get some steamy action between our two favourite love birds! I would usually mark it in the text, but this is pretty much all smut, and the progression is pretty obvious, so I'll leave it be. If you're not into it, maybe wait for the epilogue.

Happy reading!


The game showed up on Monday and Lucy texted Anna to go grab it while they were still working. By the time they came back, she had wrapped it for him. Natsu had a blast playing it online with Gray and Gajeel most of the evening. Lucy knew both his friends were playing it, even if it was because Juvia complained Gray spent too much time on it.

...

On Wednesday, they took Anna to the bus station early in the afternoon and waited for her bus with her. She was a little more collected that the last time they parted, because of how easy it was to visit now, and knowing that Natsu and Lucy would be able to visit a bit more often now that they weren't in school.

"You keep me updated on your novel, okay?" she requested from Lucy.

"Of course," she assured her.

"And you keep out of trouble, Natsu."

"Always!" Both Anna and Lucy scoffed at that, and he crossed his arms with a pout.

"Take care of yourselves. I love you both."

"Love you too," they replied, both pulling her in a hug before she boarded the bus. They stayed there until the bus was out of sight, then started heading back.

"What should we do with the rest of today?" Natsu asked.

"Got anything in mind?" she questioned, taking in the look in his eyes.

"Oh, I've got something in mind alright," he grinned, nuzzling in her neck, almost making them both fall when he hit a patch of ice, yet somehow, they remained upright.

"You can be a flirt when we're home and you're not gonna kill us," Lucy laughed. "But… If you're implying what I think you are… Then I am very interested." He gave her a bright, yet hungry smile.

"What about girl's night? Any chance Cana will let you push it back to tomorrow?"

"I'll send the girls a text," she suggested, fishing out her phone to do just that while Natsu watched out for her so she wouldn't slip or trip.

'Can we push girl's night to tomorrow?' she sent out.

'Why? Got any plans tonight?' Cana replied instantly with a suggestive face emoji.

'I do, actually. But if you want to get in the way of it, I guess we can push it to tomorrow, and you'll have to wait next week to hear the details.' The OMG that Juvia sent had each letter sent individually.

'Girl's night tomorrow,' Cana agreed. 'Lucy's hitting home base tonight!'

'Did your dad hear you whoop?' Levy asked.

'First of all, how dare you call me out like that? And second, he absolutely did.' Lucy chuckled, putting her phone away.

"Girl's night is tomorrow," she nodded, not missing the dark spark in his eyes. "So are you going to class tonight?"

"Heck no!" He swooped her up in his arms and she yelped as he spun her before setting her down again, leaning his forehead against hers. "I'm all yours tonight," he promised.

"Looking forward to it," she smiled, running a teasing finger down his chest. She had to stop him from running the rest of the way, but giggled as he quickly walked, almost dragging her behind. She pushed him against the door after they closed it, loving the look in his eyes and the growl in his throat as she kissed him. She felt his hand slide down her back to her butt, then he leaned forward to bring his hand to the back of her thighs, picking her up. She could already feel the boner forming in his sweatpants as she wrapped her legs around him to hold herself up when he started moving, taking her to their bedroom. He backed to the bed, sitting on it, keeping her on his lap, his eager hands making their way under her shirt. She swatted them away, confusing him. He pulled apart to look at her.

"What's wrong?" he asked, caressing her cheek. Had he misread the situation? She did seem as eager as he felt.

"No need to rush," she told him sweetly, laughing at his pout.

"I've been waiting for this for two weeks," he reminded her.

"So have I," she giggled, cupping his face in her hands to kiss his nose. "So you can wait a few more minutes while I freshen up, right? I bought something new…" His pout disappeared at the insinuation in her voice.

"Oh?"

"You'll have to wait and see," she teased. "Give me a few minutes, okay?"

"Alright," he agreed, helping her disentangle herself from him. He held her back and pulled her in for a kiss. "I love you," he whispered.

"And I love you," she assured. He took his phone when she left, because it would be easier to wait for her if he kept busy. He frowned at the message Cana sent him.

'Remember what we talked about.'

'What did we talk about?' he sent back.

'The 3Bs.' He was still looking at the screen in confusion and just about to reply when he caught a movement out of the corner of his eyes and looked up, his heart almost stopping, his phone forgotten.

Lucy smiled at the look on Natsu's face as he roamed her form. The bright red Babydoll negligee was made of a pretty much see-through bra with darker red lace pattern that made it harder to see her nipples. The sheer red fabric fell just past the swell of her hips, with an open slit on the front that gave a direct view of the thong that matched the bra. And by the look in her boyfriend's eyes, she knew the thigh high fishnet stocking with the red bows every few inches all the way down her outer leg had been a great idea. She had kept her hair down, because he loved to run his hand through it. Yet, despite how sexy she felt, a blush matching her outfit still warmed her cheeks.

"Luce…" She forgot all about her doubts when he had to clear his throat to rasp her name.

"Hi," she whispered shyly, moving closer. She had considered wearing heels, but had decided against it. She gave a slow spin and heard his sharp intake of breath when he realized she was wearing a thong. He always made her feel like she was the most beautiful person in the world, but she had never felt so powerful as she did now.

"Hey," he breathed out, his hands stretching to take hers, but he kept her at arm's length for a moment more. "You're so beautiful. So perfect. How did I ever get so lucky?"

"Well…" she drawled, as she pushed past his arms to sit on his lap again. "It all started when you saved my life." He chuckled, meeting her eyes.

"Yeah, I guess it did. But I never expected this."

"I know." She tilted his head back to kiss him. She slipped her hands under his shirt, feeling his very hard erection twitch as she took it off.

"I hope you know that as sexy as this get up is, I'm going to take it off of you," he promised against her lips.

"I'm counting on it," she assured him. "But not yet."

"Wh-!" She interrupted his protest with a kiss, pushing him down on the mattress. She trailed down his neck, nibbling at his scar and rejoicing in the shaky sigh that escaped his lips. She kissed down his chest, listening to his panting, carefully stepping back on the ground as she reached his abs. He moaned when she hooked his pants and boxers, dragging them down and placing a kiss on every new inch of skin she revealed, his leg twitching when she kissed down his thigh, now kneeling on the floor between his legs. She stopped her kisses to free him from his pants. "It's not fair if I'm naked and you're not," he panted slightly, sitting up. He almost lost it at the look she gave him, while sitting between his legs.

"You'll have your turn," she assured him with a sly smile.

"What about ladies first?" he asked.

"Just think of this as a late birthday gift." He couldn't bring himself to argue when she trailed her fingers along his length, a choked moan coming through his lips. It had been too long. They had quickly found out that neither of them was good at being quiet, resulting in a struggle to keep their hands to themselves for the last two weeks. But now, they could be as loud as they wanted. As much as he wanted to fall back and just enjoy, Natsu found himself enthralled in watching Lucy kiss her way up his leg and lick his shaft before popping it in her mouth.

"That's hot," he growled, shifting slightly to bring his hips closer to the edge of the bed. He braced one hand behind him, holding the other one in Lucy's hair, struggling to keep from imposing a rhythm on her as she worked him in her mouth, lifting those big brown eyes to look at him, swirling her tongue around his tip as she released him, blush on her face.

"You like watching me?" she asked.

"I fucking love it," he admitted. "It's hot. You're hot." He wrestled his mind out of the lust filled gutter he was in, caressing her hair. "Do you mind?" Without answering, and without breaking eye contact, she swirled her tongue around him again and licked down and up again, rejoicing in the way his eyes fluttered and his breath shuddered.

"I don't," she whispered against his tip. "I love watching you too. You're so expressive." She had never noticed before the way his lips moved silently, like he was having some sort of inner monologue. He looked like he was about to argue when she popped him back in her mouth and he moaned, his hips bucking slightly. His eyes almost rolled back when Lucy dragged her nail along his thighs as her mouth worked magic and he was so damn close. He whined when she pulled away, replacing her mouth with a hand and a slow rhythm, keeping him on the edge. "Talk to me, Natsu," she demanded. "I can see you want to."

"Fuck, I'm so close, Luce… Keep going…" The smirk she gave him would have made him gulp if he had had more blood in his brain and less in his groin. As it was, he barely even noted it. Now that she knew what kind of words were in his mind, she figured it meant she could make him beg, and the idea of having such a strong man beg her was very enticing.

"I'm still going," she teased and the growl he gave her shot heat straight down to her core.

"You know what I mean," he growled.

"Say it." She saw a brief spark of lucidity in his eyes. He figured what she was doing. A quick flick of tongue had that spark disappearing as he hissed, and she knew he would get her back for it later. The idea was thrilling.

"Fuck," he growled. "Please, Luce."

"Please what?" She flicked her tongue again, knowing she was playing with fire, and enjoying every second of it. She felt his hand twitch in her hair as knew he was struggling to refrain from forcing her into what he wanted. And she loved him for it.

"Suck me dry," he rasped out, not even caring about how crude he sounded. "I'm so fucking close, finish me off." She made a pondering face and he whined. "Please, Luce." She gave him a satisfied smile and proceeded in doing just that. "Luce…" It was the only warning he gave her. She was loving the pure bliss on his face as he released into her mouth with a groan. He let her pull away and looked at her in awe as she climbed back on his lap to kiss him.

"'Suck me dry', huh?" she giggled.

"You asked for it," he huffed despite the heat on his face, still trying to catch his breath. "What was that about, anyway?"

"I never noticed before," she shrugged, and he frowned. She flushed a bit. Did he not even know he was doing it? "It looked like you were whispering," she offered. "I figured you wanted to say something."

"I was? Uh… I mean, I did kinda want to say it…"

"Why didn't you?" His blush was confusing. After she blew him off, what did he have to be shy about?

"Well… Uh… It's kinda weird but…" How he wished he could just ignore the fact that this conversation had ever happened. "Err… I just figured you wouldn't… You know… appreciate it." Lucy's pointed look told him she knew he was hiding something, and he groaned. "Cana may or may not have told me to keep my thoughts to myself cause you wouldn't be in dirty talk," he mumbled. He flinched when Lucy burst into a laugh, not expecting that reaction.

"Of course, she gave you a sex talk. I should have known." Natsu suddenly realized what the 3Bs were. The Birds and the Bees and the Bases. Cana knew what they were doing. "When?"

"Valentine's," he admitted. Lucy figured that why Cana was so confident that Natsu would get the order right. She had told him to. "Can we talk about it later, when you're not wearing something that is so freaking hot?" He pushed his hand through the slit on the sheer fabric to touch her skin, wondering how to take such a delicate thing off without tearing it to shred. She sighed at the warmth of his hands on her.

"Alright," she agreed. "But I should tell you that this is one thing Cana was wrong about." She squealed when Natsu growled and moved them to lay her down, sitting between her legs as he looked at her. He trailed his fingers from her collarbone, down between her breast to the line of the ridiculously small thong.

"You're into it? For real?" He seemed so excited.

"Maybe," she replied with a smug smile.

"How much do you like that get up?" he asked, tugging lightly at the sheer fabric, making her frown at the unexpected turn.

"A lot. Why? Do you not like it?"

"Nah, I love it. But you'll have to tell me how to take it off or I'll ruin it. I want to touch you." Watching her lift her hands to rest between her glorious boobs made him even more eager. He barely noticed the clasp she undid, letting the bra – and the rest of the negligee – to part in the middle. He took her hands before she could peel it from her body. "I've got it from here," he whispered. He softly kissed the back of her hands before letting them go. Lucy had grown used to have him sitting between her legs, but he still didn't want to risk triggering any bad memories by making her feel trapped.

He planted his left arm down next to her shoulder to kiss her, his other hand tracing her body and slipping under the cup of the bra, pushing it to the side to squeeze her breast, using her moan to slip his tongue in her mouth to deepen their kiss. However, he didn't stay with the kiss to long, trailing kisses down her throat.

"Don't you dare leave a hickey," she warned him, and his low chuckle told her he was planning on doing just that.

"You're no fun," he whispered against her skin, making her huff.

"We can stop then."

"Only if you want to," he mused, giving her nipple a light pinch that made her moan and arch into him. "But I don't think you wanna."

"Screw you," she playfully scoffed.

"Nah, I'm screwing you," he argued. She laughed, but heat shot down her body.

"Not really," she pointed out. "But you should get on that." He gave her a grin full of promises and turned back to her neck, nipping softly at her flesh as he trailed further down, giving her chest all of the attention it deserved. He could feel her hips bucking slightly, and the way her legs squeezed him, trying desperately to get some friction. But she had wanted him to beg, and he had his pride.

"I could do that all day," he told her, giving her nipple a lick that pulled a whine from her throat. She looked down on him, her face flushed and her breathing short. "You've got fantastic boobs, Luce. So sensitive…" Her body gave a jerk when he flicked the other side with his finger. "So responsive."

"Natsu…" she whined, trying to pull him closer with her legs to relieve some of the pressure, but he held his ground.

"So beautiful. So soft…"

"Stop teasing me," she whimpered, looking at the too-innocent look Natsu gave her.

"Teasing? I would never." She tried to scoff and failed when he sucked on her nipple. She pushed on his shoulder, trying to nudge him down, and absolutely hating and loving the victorious grin that pulled his lips. "Do you want something?" he asked, nibbling at the top of her full breast. "You're gonna have to use your words, Luce…" She groaned, immediately followed by a moan.

"So that's payback?" she asked, panting for breath.

"Payback for what?" he asked in a sweet voice that didn't fool her. He knew exactly what he was doing, and as much as she was enjoying it, she needed more.

"I think it's time you get me naked," she said in her most seductive voice, successfully distracting Natsu from her chest with a possessive growl. He slid the straps of her negligee off her shoulders and down her arms, helping her sit up to remove it, barely refraining from throwing it across the room, instead dropping it on the nightstand. "Why did you stop?" she asked, laying back down, trailing her fingers down his chest, pleased to notice he was already getting hard again. His stamina was out of this world.

"I don't think you realize how hot you look right now," he rasped. Lucy glanced toward the mirror. Her hair was a mess, her face flushed, her nipples reddened by the attention, and she was naked with the exception of… oh… the thong and the fishnet thigh high. She pulled him closer.

"Know what would be hotter?" she whispered, making him growl as breathed in his neck. "Just the stocking." His eyes snapped to hers. She moaned loudly when his finger brushed against her barely covered crotch and her hips pushed back without her meaning to.

"Fuck, you're so wet… So eager…" he growled. "Do you want me to do something about it?"

"Yes! Oh god, yes!" She didn't even care how desperate she sounded. Her body jolted at Natsu's light touch.

"What should I do?" he questioned her teasingly and she almost wanted to smack him. But mostly…

"I want your mouth to make me see the stars," she whispered in his ear. "I want your sinful tongue to make me forget my name." Natsu groaned and pressed harder through the fabric. She moaned, letting her head fall back. Her dirty talk seemed to have made him forget to make her beg, for he was already shuffling down her body.

Her hips jerked when he grabbed the string with his teeth, looking at her as he dragged it down her legs. He threw the thong behind him, letting both hands rub up her legs. She was right. Just the stocking was even sexier, but he didn't care much for the feel of it. He laid between her leg, nibbling at her inner thigh, and sucking on the flesh, leaving a mark a mere inch away from where she wanted him. Her body was already trembling with anticipation.

She screamed out when he finally gave her what she wanted, giving a long lick before focusing on the spot that always had her calling his name. And he wasn't disappointed, her hands fisting in his hair and her hips pushing against his face. It wasn't long before she let out a loud, shuddering moan, her body trembling with the force of her orgasm, but he didn't stop until she was done twitching, letting her go with one last lick.

He moved back up to her face, willing himself to ignore how close his boner was from her crotch when he kissed her. "What's your name?" he asked when he pulled away.

"Uh?"

"I guess I did good, then," he grinned. It took Lucy a moment to even realize what he was talking about.

"The stars were beautiful," she assured him, pulling him closer for another kiss. He jumped when her finger touched his erection, a moan pushing past his lips. "But we have to do something about this."

"It's fine. I'm good." She forced her mouth in a pout.

"So you don't wanna?" she asked, effectively confusing him.

"Wanna what?"

"Go all the way." He blinked at her, still trying to grasp the meaning of her words. "Do you… want to grab a condom?" she offered more plainly, loving the way his eyes went wide.

"You sure?"

"I am," she reassured him. "I want this. I want you. All the way." He excitedly kissed her again, short quick pecks at her lips, and she felt him reach for the bedside table… and knock something off of it. "Look at what you're doing," she giggled, pushing him off gently. He lifted himself up on an elbow to reach in the drawer and pulled a package out, carefully ripping it. He observed it for a moment before unrolling it on his length. He looked back at her, with the most adorable, worried expression she could imagine. All of her nervousness left her. It was Natsu. They would be okay.

He wrapped his arm around her, and she let him pull her in a sitting position. "I love you, Lucy." He stroked her cheek tenderly. "I'd wait for you forever, you know that, right?"

"Of course, I do. I love you too, Natsu. I want this. I want it with you." She placed her hand on his, looking into his eyes. "Are you nervous?"

"A bit," he admitted. "I just… I want you to enjoy it." Lucy knew the words he didn't want to say. He didn't want to trigger a bad memory. She didn't want it either.

"I will," she assured him.

"I want you to stay in control," he told her, interlocking his fingers with her. "Is that okay?"

"Yeah. I'd like that." It would be the safest way. She was glad he knew that too. There would be a time for him to fuck her senseless, but it wouldn't be now. "Maybe… sitting on the side of the bed?" she offered. Natsu nodded and shifted. "Should I take them off?" she asked, looking at the thigh highs.

"I like 'em. But up to you." She decided to keep them on and steadied herself against Natsu's shoulders, his hands on her hips as she settled on his lap, hesitated, then wrapped her legs around his hips. "Feels good?"

"Yeah. Can you… help me?" He nodded, supporting her weight as she lifted herself and carefully aligning himself with her.

"Okay. Easy." She took a deep breath, lowering herself. She was still so wet that he slid inside her without any pain, though Natsu moaned at the sensation. She let herself breathe again, humming at the sensation. "All good?" he asked when he caught his breath.

"Yeah. It feels good."

"It does," he agreed, tilting his head to kiss her. He patiently waited for her to be ready to move, whispering sweet nothing to her.

"I don't know what I'm doing," she eventually admitted with a nervous giggle.

"It's okay. Just take it slow. We're good." She took a firmer grasp on his shoulders, tentatively lifting her hips up. Both her and Natsu moaned at the movement. "Fuck… That's great. Feels great," he whispered. She hummed in agreement, slowly working on her technique. Natsu was glad he already came today, because it made it easier to let her do her thing. She seemed to find an angle and a motion that worked cause she let out a long moan and started setting a slow pace that had them both panting. He grabbed her hips, feeling her movement for a few moments before helping her, carefully thrusting back. "How's that?" he asked when she moaned again.

"Great. It feels… So good." The angle seemed to be rubbing against the right spot, but the pace wasn't enough to satisfy her. "I need faster," she panted, working on picking up the pace, Natsu's hand guiding her and helping her along. She wrapped her arms around his neck and rocked as fast as she could manage, feeling the pressure building up as her moans came shorter and higher. "So close…" she whispered.

"Me too," he rasped against her throat. A particularly hard snap of their hips made Lucy cry out, pleasure washing over her. Natsu gripped her hips firmly, taking control of their pace by moving her hips against his with faster and harder motion. Lucy was not even down from her high that she could feel another one coming fast with Natsu's ruthless pace, her nails clawing at his back.

"Don't stop," she huffed, desperately clinging to him.

"Another one?" he asked, sounding skeptical. "I won't last much longer." But inspiration stroke and he dipped his head down to suck on her nipple. Sure enough, he felt her wall clench on him again and tipped over the edge with her. They both stilled, clutching at each other as they came down from their high.

"My legs are numb…" Lucy noted when she tried to move. Natsu chuckled lightly and hooked his arms under her before standing up, his own legs feeling wobbly under her weight, turning around and carefully laying her down on the bed. "Can we have a nap?"

"I'm gonna go clean up real quick, then definitely." When he came back from the bathroom, she was wearing his t-shirt and her stockings, fast asleep. He pulled on his sweatpants, not bothering with underwear. He brushed Lucy's hair from her face and kissed her forehead gently, pulling her against him before he closed his eyes with a smile. They would be fine.


I did think about writing a scene where Lucy would freak out, and honestly, it will happen during their relationship, but they've both been through so much, they deserved a sweet first time, and since this is the last chapter before the epilogue, I'm not goanna be writing such scene for them. I had a blast writing this story. I haven't done much angst before and I wanted to have a crack at a story of hope, a tale of healing. Everybody is kinda messed up in their own way, and sometime there is no coming back to the way we were, but we can still heal and become the best version of ourself despite hardship and trauma. I know I found strength in fictional characters to push myself to become better, so why not do the same to create hope?

I want to give a huge thanks to everyone who has read, favourited, followed and/or reviewed this story. I know my summary on it would scare people away, but as Natsu with Lucy, I don't want to trigger anyone. The world isn't a safe space, but we can all do our part to make it safer, especially on a website that can so often take a dark twist. I am grateful to everyone of you who has made it this far and have entrusted me with keeping them feeling safe as they read through a story dealing with difficult topics. If you want to follow me, I will be posting other stories in the future, though November will be dedicated to finishing the novel I abandoned a while back.

I won't make promises on requests, but if you hit me up with something I like, I might just write it. I can't give a timeline on my future work because I have the attention spawn of my ADHD (all the focus or none of it), but there will be more to come.

Thank you everyone!

PS: Yes, there is still the epilogue, but some people don't read epilogue, so here we are lol

Bookwork129: It doesn't really come up, because Anna is just that awesome, but I figured she was looking into the news about Jude, because no one really filled her in and she is curious, but she wouldn't mention it because it's not her place to.

SummeryNights: Hope Natsu's reaction lived up to expectation ;) I'm so glad you enjoyed this fic that much! Thank you so much! 3

52dreamer52: It is such a caring scene, I don't blame you! Erza chasing the boys is just the best thing ever lol. To Natsu's credit, I warned my partner I would not hesitate to shoot him. I even got him in the head (but he got be back on the next round lol)

34KWBLBRBOBU: Honestly, she just hid until she could take them out lol

Fafou14: The story never really ends, it just stops being told, and you're free to imagine whatever comes next :)

Copperreign12: I'll keep that in mind! They definitely deserve to be happy.

Valerioux: I was about ready to spin off at first, but I had to remind myself I still have original work to stop procrastinating on lol But still bringing it the closure it deserves.

Mushi9: I don't blame, it's definitely nerve wracking, but it was also tons of fun!
