The sound of running water brings me back to the here and now, a chill has crept over my still naked flesh as I listen to Natsu clatter his way around the bathroom. I dread to think of the mess I am about to walk in on, finally I muster the strength to move, in search of something to cover me up.
As I pad around to my wardrobe to find something suitable to wear, my foot kicks into a small object which promptly rolls under the rumpled bed. "What was that?" kneeling I blindly feel around for the hidden item, and at last I pull out the small pink vial that Porlyuscia had thrown at me.
The chill from my skin disappears in the wake of the heat now filling my face and chest, my fingers tremble around the bottled liquid as I clutch it to me. Without further thought, I pull the stopper from the top, a faint waft of smouldering campfire fills my nose before I tip my head back and swallow the contents hastily.
It tastes surprisingly nice, like strawberries and toasted marshmallows, and a deep sigh of relief passes through me as I contemplate the consequences of what might have happened if I had not found the vial, or if we had not stopped when we did.
Spying Natsu's discarded sleep top balled by the foot of the bed, I slip it on over my head and snuggle into the fabric whilst drinking in his unique warming scent. I can't help but pause to think that his scent is very similar to that of the 'birth control' potion, how curious.
Shaking myself I realise this was a perfect choice, the top is so long that it covers me down to my knees, plus I think Natsu will like seeing me in his clothes. A slow smile spreads across my face as I think of that last part, time to get some food cooking.
~.~
The scalding hot water feels so good on my skin, it is still sensitive from everything that has happened this morning and feeling the water cascade over my head is almost pleasurable. Bracing my arms against the smooth tiled wall of the shower, I can already see that my erection is beginning to reappear, my desires have really hit me at full force. Screwing my eyes shut, I fight to stop myself from immediately exiting the bathroom and picking up where I left off with Lucy. "She won't appreciate this being rushed!" I attempt to reason with myself, a deep snort sounds from the recesses of my mind and I know it came from the Dragon, he clearly disagrees with me.
After I have finished washing and fighting my temptations, I climb out of the shower and securely fasten a towel around my waist while giving my hair a quick towel dry. My salmon-coloured locks fall into my usual messy style as I stare at my reflection in the mirror, "do I look any different?" I muse to myself, studying my features intently.
"Why would you look any different dumbass, cause you finally pleasured a girl?" scowling at my own heated thoughts I am distracted by a new scent wafting into the room, unless I am mistaken, bacon and pancakes are cooking. My stomach gives an enormous growl, my feet move on their own accord, sprinting from the room to find the source of the yumminess.
What I do find has me reeling back, catching myself on the wall I lean heavily against it as I take in the sight before me. Lucy dances to a silent beat, her blonde hair has been pulled into two adorable pigtails and she is wearing my t-shirt. The grey material hangs just above her knees, and despite it being baggy I can still make out her feminine curves that lie beneath. My mouth waters, but not for the food.
The sizzling of the two pans before her adds to the familiar yet entirely new scene, Lucy has cooked for me plenty of times over the years, but it has never felt this intimate. Lucy's dancing body halts, her head snaps round and our eyes lock, she bites her lower lip as I attempt to control my heart rate.
"You are not eating wearing only a towel, you big dummy. Go put some clothes on, be quick, it'll be ready soon," Lucy scolds, waving the spatula at me. Her gaze betrays her words as I watch her take in my exposed torso, her eyes lingering on the trail leading down into the towel. I have to turn quickly to prevent the front of the towel lifting before her eyes, like magic!
Dashing to the drawer that Lucy designated as mine many years ago, I pull some loose white pants and a black long sleeve open tunic from it and throw them on my body with little care. At the last moment I realise I have forgotten underwear, cursing I rip the pants from me to throw on some boxers before I finish redressing. My scarf is coiled on top of the dresser and I can't stop myself from patting it lightly before I tear back to the kitchen.
Lucy has finished plating our food, she slides a loaded plate in front of my usual seat at the table before settling herself across from me, "dig in!" she giggles as my stomach makes another loud rumble and I tuck into the stack of food with gusto.
"Let me take those cuffs off you now, I don't think I am in any immediate danger, definitely not when you are so focused on the food!" she smirks as she grabs a small bronze key and quickly removes each of the cuffs from my wrists. If I'm honest, I had forgotten they were even there, but I do rub my wrists reflexively when they are finally gone.
We fall into a comfortable silence as I continue to demolish my bacon and pancakes, Lucy eats her own food at a much more natural pace, her eyes peek up at me every now and then and a pink blush has returned to her fair cheeks. "Do you feel any different?" Lucy asks, her chocolate eyes boring into me with obvious curiosity.
"Umm, I don't think so. Am I meant to feel different after doing that?" I ask, confusion descending on me like a fog, maybe I am meant to feel different after all, scratching my neck absently I ponder that.
"Natsu! I don't mean after what we did, I meant now that you have become aware of this Dragon spirit. Didn't I say you should start engaging your brain before you talk?" Lucy manages out between deep belly laughs; tears of laughter have formed in her eyes and I frown at her apparent amusement.
Pouting, I eat my last bite of pancake and try to work out if I do feel any different, "well I did feel pretty awful when he first decided to make his presence known, but now," I wave my empty fork in the air, "nothing feels different at all. Oh actually, I did hear him snort at me when I was in the shower, that was kind of a weird experience."
"You'll have to get used to him being able to hear your thoughts, and you might get a telling off from more than just me from now on," she chuckles brightly, setting her own fork down.
Bristling slightly at the insinuation that all I think about is nonsense, I can feel my aura darken as I realise that the Dragon and I are unlikely to be thinking of anything other than Lucy, certainly now. A flash of fiery eyes gives a nod of agreement, and my heart rate spikes simply thinking about it.
Lucy's relaxed body stiffens as I continue to stare at her, if I am not much mistaken it seems as if a shiver passed through her, she clears her throat and moves to take away the empty plates from the table. As she rounds the table towards me, I can't resist letting a small growl rumble up my throat, she gasps in surprise and I grin wickedly at her as she retreats to the sink.
"Do you think that a little distance will be enough to stop me?" I breath huskily, my eyes lower so I am staring up at Lucy through my lashes, a finger idly strokes invisible patterns on the table and her eyes dart between my face and the table.
"Natsu, I need to have a shower. You'll just have to put a leash on it," she scowls at me, yet her heart rate is belying her words, inhaling deeply I can smell her signature sweet scent mixed with her earlier arousal. I'm glad to have picked loose pants to wear, although my growing erection is already straining painfully against my underwear, at least it is not visible, yet.
~.~
My willpower is slipping by the second, the charge of electricity between us is humming to life and all I want to do is give in to these new and thrilling desires, but I want to do this next part on my terms, so I need to be strong. "Why don't you make yourself useful and cleans these plates and pans for me?" I cheerfully suggest, the tip of my tongue pokes out at the look of incredulity that has crossed Natsu's face.
Despite his bold words' moments ago, I can sense that Natsu's hesitancy has returned. I deliberately sway my hips as I attempt to confidently leave him to his task, his eyes watch me, the spark of desire is shining clearly, but there is also a sense of insecurity that has crept in. "My poor Dragon Slayer, how can someone as confident as you are, feel this insecure?" my heart hurts as I pull the bathroom door closed.
It. Is. A. Bomb. Site!
Every towel is either crumpled on the floor or draped on the vanity, Natsu's pyjama pants are balled up by the toilet, the lids are open on every lotion, potion and shampoo bottle in the room, and he hasn't even turned off the taps properly. Taking a deep breath, I count to three and blow it out. What I really want to do is march back to Natsu and drag him by the ear in here to clean up, but I will rise above it, just this once.
It takes me much longer to reappear from the bathroom than I had intended, given the unholy mess I had to clear up. When I am finally feeling fresh, I tiptoe to my room to dress, after a moment's thought I decide to keep Natsu's top on, I saw the look he gave me when he realised what I was wearing. Rifling through my underwear drawer, I pull on a nice red matching set, the lace teases my skin and I remember the feel of his calloused hands on my skin.
Flustered I go in search of the man I am reminiscing about, I thought I might find him relaxing in the living area, but it is empty, and the apartment is surprisingly quiet. I find Natsu sitting in the same chair in the kitchen, his head is back, and I can hear very soft snores coming from him. Apparently, a little bit of cleaning is quite taxing, I watch him with hands on hips, his arms are slack by his sides and his back is slumped in the chair. The angle of his sleeping body has caused his tunic to fall open even wider and his deliciously muscled chest and stomach are mine to feast upon, my eyes drink him in and land on the 'v' of his muscles that lead into his pants.
"Well, this could be a lot of fun, time to wake the sleepyhead up!" I can't help but smirk as I creep up on the sleeping Natsu. I perch myself on the edge of the table facing him, placing my feet either side on the empty parts of his chair, I am close enough to be able to touch him, but far enough away that he shouldn't wake instantly.
I watch his chest rise and fall for a few more seconds before my confidence grows enough to touch him, the flat of my hand ghosts over the skin of his throat, down to his tanned chest. Fingertips graze his nipples lightly, he shifts in the chair, I watch his face, there is a small frown forming, but his eyes remain closed.
Leaning forward my mouth is within inches of his body, the heat from his skin caresses my cheeks as I place a soft kiss on his exposed throat, a moan slips out his lips as I kiss downwards, my teeth nip at his collarbone and I have to steady myself by gripping the chair, so I don't completely fall on top of him.
As my tongue begins to explore the skin around his neck, Natsu stiffens, and I know he is now awake. His head slowly lifts, our eyes meet, his are wide and filled with wonder as I smile sweetly at my Dragon Slayer. "What are you doing?" he whispers, straightening himself in the chair.
"I was waking you up," I purr back, now that he is awake, I slide myself on to his lap, Natsu hisses as I land on his hidden erection. My hips instinctively swivel on his groin and we groan in unison, my fingers curl around his neck as I dip to kiss his soft lips. The kiss is quick, but filled with such sweetness, my hands roam down his back and I feel the muscles swift and bunch under my fingers.
"It's my time to explore and I couldn't simply wait until you woke up," I murmur into his ear, my teeth grasp the shell and tug, causing a deep groan from the pink haired mage. His arms which had still been dangling beside him move cautiously to my sides, and I chuckle against his neck.
His hands bunch the material of the top, sliding it up my body so that my hips are now exposed, "I really like you in my clothes," he groans out, his grip tightening on me. I give a little wiggle of agreement and with a confidence I did not think I possessed; I continue my exploration. I push his tunic down his arms, he releases me for a moment so he can take his hands out of the sleeves and I marvel at the strength of his body, despite the amount he consumes, there isn't an ounce of fat on him. I enjoy the way his body squirms as I outline every muscle on his stomach, his breath hitches as I stroke the trail that would lead me into his pants. Natsu's eyes snap to mine, there is a dark fire blazing in them, "do you really want to do this in the kitchen?" he asks quietly.
Without replying I move to stand from him, he whimpers as I leave the warmth of his body, I grab his hand and pull him behind me as I head for the bedroom. He follows me like an obedient puppy, when he is by the bed, I give a gentle push and he sits automatically. As I place my knee on the bed between his legs, I give another small shove and he lays back whilst I crawl over his body. His hands lift to stroke my hips and I lower my mouth to his. Natsu licks at my bottom lip, I smile against him remembering that is what I did to him earlier, my mouth opens to him and his tongue presses forward to dance with mine.
As we kiss, my hand snakes down between us to feel his length through his pants, as my hand makes contact, he breaks the kiss to groan loudly into my mouth. Biting on his lower lip, I slowly stroke his growing shaft, his hips press up into my touch and I am dying to get my first look at him.
I can already tell that he is very large, I have felt him pressed against me several times today and although I have never been with another man, I realise that he may be unusually 'gifted' in that department. A small part of me is terrified of this realisation, but the overriding desires that I have for Natsu are drowning it out, maybe I'll regret not listening to it later.
Sliding back on to his thighs, I press my hands to the front of his crotch whilst I stare into his lust filled face, "shall we take these off?" I ask sweetly, he nods enthusiastically, and I can't help the giggle that escapes me.
My fingers curl into the waistband of both his pants and boxers, they begin to tug down the fabric, Natsu lifts his hips so I can slide them down further and I gasp as his erection springs free of its constraints. "What the fuck am I meant to do with that? He is massive!" I panic to myself, his large shaft twitches under my scrutiny and looking up at Natsu's face, his eyes have rolled back in pleasure.
Swallowing the panic that is threatening to consume me, I reach out with a shaky hand to touch it. As soon as I make a connection Natsu's hips buck up at me and I gasp. "I'm sorry Lucy, this is, ah fuck, too much," he chokes out.
A bead of liquid is glistening from the slit, my finger wipes through the liquid and drags it down his length, coating him. "It's ok, we can do this slowly," I soothe, I need to do this for him, "this should be about pleasure, if anything isn't then tell me," I ask earnestly.
He can only nod as he fists the sheets beneath him, I have never felt anything like this, Natsu's shaft feels like steel encased in the softest velvet. My heart is hammering as I slide my hand around his length, I can only just manage to wrap my fingers around him entirely. With a look at the clearly struggling Natsu, I pump my hand gently down his erection.
"Oh god," he groans out, "I'm not going to last long Luce, I can't believe you are touching me, it feels so good." My heart soars at his endearing words, if this isn't going to last long then let's make it even more memorable.
Natsu's eyes are screwed shut, this works to my advantage and I can surprise him, my mouth lowers to his throbbing cock and I swirl my tongue around the tip, he cries out in pleasure. As his hips buck up at me, I open my mouth and take part of him into me.
"Fuck!" he yells as my mouth sucks on his sensitive skin, my hand pumps the lower half as I tease him with everything I have. "Lucy, I am going to -", before he can finish his sentence a jet of warm liquid rushes into my mouth. My eyes widen in surprise as I feel his release coat my tongue, I let it fall down my throat before I release him from my mouth with an audible pop.
"That wasn't so bad," I muse, it felt rather empowering that I could make him lose it so quickly.
"Oh god, I am sorry. Fuck I didn't mean for that to happen!" Natsu is in a panic as he struggles to sit up, his eyes are frantic, and I have to place a firm hand on his chest to keep him laying down. He continues to struggle against me, my lips crash against his in the hopes this will settle him. I press my tongue into his mouth on a gasp, letting him taste himself on my tongue. He moans into me, wrapping his arms around me and crushing me to him.
When he finally releases me for air, "stop with the apologising, this is new for us both and everything so far has been amazing," I half yell at him, giving him a playful smack on the shoulder.
He grins up at me, then hauls me back down, as he nuzzles into my neck, leaving a trail of soft kisses that heat my skin, he whispers softly, "no, you are amazing," and just like that, my love for Natsu deepens further.
