I shakily walk out of the steamy bathroom in search of clean clothes as Natsu shouts, "Can we use Loke to order us dinner? I'm starving." I giggled to myself. We haven't really eaten today. We've been… busy. I glance out the window to see the stars bright in the sky. I pull on my panties that are the color of Natsu's hair and shift through his drawer to steal a t-shirt.

"Damn, I love you in my clothes." He says as he nips at my neck playfully before reaching to grab his boxers.

"He's not an errand boy Natsu." I explained to him. Just as I felt the pull on my magic, Loke appeared a few moments later with his hands covering his eyes.

"Are you done yet? Please tell me you guys are done." He whines out in annoyance.

I blush as I remember, all the spirits I'm contracted to can feel…

Another tug on my magic. "Leave them alone, Leo. It's been some years since I've been contracted to someone so lively. This is a pleasant change of pace." Capricorn drawls out. "Would you like me to fetch you two something to eat?"

"You're not my butler, Capricorn." I say at the same time Natsu says, "Sure." I turn to glare at him as he rubs the back of his head sheepishly.

"All day!" Leo growls out. "You fucked her All damn day! How do you have the sexual stamina?! What's your secret?!"

Natsu glowered at him before shrugging, " I dunno."

"What's your favorite food, Master Natsu?" Capricorn requested.

Natsu and I blink. "Master?" I feel Natsu's mischievous grin as he turns to Leo. "Master Natsu would like hot wings, nachos, and the largest jalapeno pepperoni pizza you can find."

"Princess Lucy?" Capricorn turns to me.

I blush as I say, "Can you add garlic knots and cinnamon rolls.." completely ignoring Leo's incredulous stare. "He offered.." I weakly defend in guilt.

"I'm not calling him Master." Loke growls again. I slap my hand over Natsu's mouth before responding. "You don't have to."

"Leo, assist me with their food. " He throws his arm around Leo's shoulder to steer him outside.

Natsu and I were curled up on the couch. He was haphazardly sprawled behind me with his arm on the armrest, head resting on the arm and his other arm thrown lazy around me, our legs tangled together. I'm the little spoon, dozing off during the comedy movie we were watching. I felt his hand trail up my waist to shift his fingers through my hair. I moaned gently as he mumbled. "You still awake?"

"No… yeah..." I sigh as I look at the mess on the table. I feel a small tug on my magic as Virgo appears. I sit up slightly to look at her while she begins cleaning up. "Virgo..."

"Go to sleep, Princess… Prince…. This is what I do. Unless you would like to punish me?"

I sigh in mild annoyance and lay back down. What is with my spirits and giving Natsu weird nicknames!

My living room practically sparkled when she was done as Natsu carried me to bed.

"Goodnight, Luce."

"Hey, Natsu..." I mumbled out.

"Hmm."

"Why don't you let me pleasure you?" I was a little curious. Earlier, I went down on him and before he came, he pulled me to my feet and quickly brought me to ecstasy.

"Your pleasure is my pleasure, Lucy." I intertwine our fingers on my belly and bring his hand to kiss his fingers gently.

"Hey Lucy. How are you this morning?" Mira asked with a knowing smile. When Natsu and I walked in the guild, Lisanna and Happy demanded they go fishing together. I told him, " Have fun. I want to spend the day with Levy." He and Happy went to get their fishing gear as Lisanna leaves to get hers.

I smile widely at her as Cana throws her arm over my shoulder. "With how quickly she and Natsu left last night...Her brains have been scrambled by our resident fire dragon slayer. I'd say she's magnificent!"

"Cana!" I shush and whine out as Gajeel groans loudly, Wendy squeaks and rushes out the guild, Gray, who was sitting right next to me, chokes on his drink.

"What?!" He shouts loudly as I shush him with a mad blush on my face.

Levy approaches and laughs loudly. "Don't be embarrassed, Lu. The dazed smile on your face screams complete satisfaction."

I covered my face in embarrassment as everyone heard what she just said.

Loke popped out to throw his arm over Gray's shoulder. "They went at it all day yesterday." Loke teased with a little disgust in his voice.

It was quiet for a moment, then a collective shout of "NATSU AND LUCY?!" Shook the guild.

Natsu and Lisanna with Happy in her arms walk in a few moments later. Macao, Jet, Droy, Master, Gildarts and the other more sleazy males of the guild crowd Natsu and push Lisanna away. She walks up next to me and asked, "What's that all about?"

I couldn't hear what the guys were asking him but I could guess… I sigh before turning to her, "Well..."

"Natsu you are a God!" Gildarts and Master, on their knees bowing toward him. I blush madly and jump up to grab Levy by the hand.

"We are going to the bookstore. Bye everyone." I say while rushing out of the guild, my embarrassment palpable.

"… now some of them call him weird nicknames." I finish as I tell Levy everything. From my feelings on girls night, to why I pushed Natsu away, to now. Everything. She stares at me, processing what I said. At least she's taking it better than Cana.

"Does Lisanna know?" She says after a moment.

"If she didn't before, she definitely does now." I say. " I haven't had an opportunity to talk to her."

"Are you jealous that she is with Natsu today? Are you worried she's going to try to take him from you?" She curiously asked.

"Honestly, no. The way he touches me… the way he makes me feel… his declaration to Loke…" I stammer, trying to find the best way to explain it to her. " When we're together, I don't feel used. I feel worshipped; You know when a guy sees you and his face gets all perverted and you feel like you need a shower?"

She nodded. " Natsu looks at me like I'm Something divine… something to be treasured."

" Wow." She breathes, a little jealous. " I'm glad you're happy Lu."

Wanting to change the subject, I began to tell her about my dad and my future visit with him.

"...and Natsu's going with you?" She confirmed. "I want to go with you too."

I look at her in confusion. " All of the people closest to you should go to show him exactly how much we love you."

" I'm sure he knows that." I say weakly but flattered at her words.

" No, what I mean is, he's your biological Family but we are your found family. If he wants a relationship with you, he has big shoes to fill."

I am in awe of her as I tear up. I quickly wipe the tears away as I say, "Thank you."

It's sunset when I get home. Natsu sitting on the couch, lost in thought. I could hear Happy's soft snores in his tree.

"Are you ok?" I asked him. He jumps and looks surprised to see me. I reach to touch him when he steps back and drops to his knees, head bowed low.

"What's wrong?" I ask in concern.

"We were fishing and talking and laughing. I told her about me and you and she got all quiet. Happy fell asleep and..." He bowes lower. "She kissed me. I pushed her off. I told her I didn't want… I didn't think she… I mean I knew she liked me but… Fuck! Please don't break up with me!" He whimpered.

I get on my knees so they touch and I push him to look at me. He whimpers, refusing to meet my eyes.

"Natsu..." I softly say. "I'm not gonna break up with you." He met my eyes as he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can't blame her for wanting to know if she has a chance with you or not. She now knows she doesn't and can move on." I explained to him. "Would you like me to talk to her?"

He frowned at me. "No. No I don't. I couldn't bear it if you pulled away from me again, Luce. Especially now that.. I've had a taste of your love… been given the opportunity to show you just how much you mean to me...I don't want to live without it."

"You won't." I smile as I kiss him gently. "I'll talk to her." I take a breath. "Did you want to come with me to my Father's still?"

" Of course." He says and he grabs my hands.

" Levy says I should go with a group so I was going to ask her, Gray and Erza to come with us."

He looked at me for a second. " Why?"

"She said it would show him, I am loved without him and his money."

" I love you with everything in me, Lucy."

I kiss him, swiping my tongue across his lip. He met my tongue as I straddle his lap. I feel him harden as he groans, " Fuck, Luce."

I break our kiss to plant kisses down his jaw and unwrap his scarf to nip at his neck and shoulder. He grabs around my waist to pin me and sit me on the couch. He ripped my panties and kissed my inner thigh.

"Natsu." I breathe in pleasure. He takes my clit in his mouth and push two fingers inside me. I needed to show him I love him just as much as he loves me. Then, I remembered a steamy scene from a book I read where the heroine takes the hero in her mouth while he simultaneously eats her out. I smile with an idea.

I pushed Natsu on his back, ignoring his confusion for the moment, lined his body parallel to the couch as I positioned myself with my lower half on his face while bending my torso down his body so my head was near his hardness. He begins licking at me again, while I push his pants past his erection. I took him in my mouth and almost choked as he breathed, "Fuck..." In my center. I set a quick rhythm with my hands and mouth as I feel him lose his tempo from time to time. "Fuck… I'm.. Ahh..." He exhales as he comes. I sit back and swallow. His release reminded me of salted butter. He grabs my hips and licks at me with an urgent fervor. I have a front row seat to watch just how much he enjoys pleasuring me with his mouth. I grip him as he growls into me. He pressed his tongue against my clit and opening as I bit my lip to prevent the loud moan of pleasure at my release.

He lifts me by my hips to sit me on his cock, shifts, slides into me and sneaks his hands up my shirt to massage my breast.

"Ride me, beautiful. " He softly demands as he rips my shirt and bra.

" Natsu…" I chastised a little breathlessly. Panties were one thing but bras were expensive. He rolls my nipples in his fingers and I've forgotten why I was annoyed in the first place. My head leaned back on his shoulders as I am riding him just as he is rolling his hips upwards. My hand trailed down my body to draw circles around the bundle of nerves. "Fuck that's hot." He praises. "You say you wanna please me Lucy?" I nod enthusiastically as I stop rubbing circles, I was about to move my hand when one of his hands pinned it in place. " Don't stop touching yourself."

I blush but comply with his command. His hand traced up my body to play with my nipple again as he panted in my ear. I used my other hand to muffle the very loud moan as I rode out my climax. He hit his peak too as I felt his release on my fingers. He kissed the mate mark, lied down and caressed my back with his hands. I was balancing my weight on his thighs above the knee, catching my breath.

I stand up to say "I'm gonna take a shower." He responds, "I already took one so I'm going to bed." He kissed me and walked to my… our room.

How did it come to this? I blink as I listen to Dad tell everyone about my childhood when mom was still alive. We were supposed to be here for tea. But we were invited to stay for lunch.

Lucy, would you like me to show your friends around? Dad asked gently. I look to see Levy, Erza and Gray hopeful faces before turning to glance at Natsu. "Sure."

After the tour, dad stopped in front of us, turned and bowed. "I am truly sorry for all the pain I've caused you. And despite my mistakes you've taken care of my daughter when I failed. What can I do to show my gratitude?"

I rolled my eyes. Even If he seems a little more gentle than he was when I was younger, he always did this. He always tried to buy affection.

"I think I speak for all of Fairy Tail when I say we want you to not hurt Lucy again." Erza said in a moment of rare softness.

"If you have alternate plans that Don't involve building a relationship with her. Don't contact her again." Levy added.

"Anyone who tries to hurt her will answer to us!" Natsu said while slamming his fist in his palm. "Aye sir!" Happy agreed.

Memories of everyone I had met before Fairy Tail flashed before my eyes... they would be my friend, my dad would give them what they wanted and I'd never hear from them again, or they would say they were too busy and I would see them with others... People who would stop being nice when I said I wouldn't introduce them to my father…. And… I choked back emotional tears. "Excuse me." I say as I turn to go to the restroom. Erza walked in a few moments later, "Are you ok?"

"Yeah i just … got something in my eye." I lamely responded. She lifts an eyebrow at me as if to say, "I don't believe you."

"I want to go home." I say as I drop my head. She smiles, pats my head and says, "Let's go then."

"We have to get back to Magnolia to prepare for the Grand Magic Games." Erza announced. Everyone prepared to leave as dad gazed at me a little sad.

I grab his hand. "I'll stay in touch. I'll try to visit at least once a month. Is that ok?"

"I'd love that, Lucy." He breathes as he hugs me.

I'm running behind Pyxis, the compass spirit, feeling the sun through my hair. Erza insisted we train for the games. I still couldn't believe the Master nominated me. The plan is to have Fairy Tail win the games to bring our popularity back up. I huff as I increase my pace.

I smile as I recall the conversation I had with Lisanna before Erza whisked us away for some secret training.

"Lucy, I'm sorry." Lisanna cried as she bowed toward me. "I had to try. To see if he had feelings for me too!"

I pulled her in a hug as I said to her, "It's fine. I get it."

Her eyes filled with tears as she pulled back, "You don't hate me?"

"Never. You and I were just put in an odd situation. I am sorry that your heart was broken though."

" He freaked on me after I…" She paused to take a breath. "... I hope I didn't ruin my friendship with him. Or you."

" You'll have to give him some time but I think we're all ok. I don't hold any animosity towards you and I hope you don't toward me." I say as she shakes her head.

"I want him to be happy and he's happiest when he's with you." She says after a moment. " Since you bought funnel cakes last time, it's my turn to treat you." We walked toward the ice cream shop.

I came to a stop as I checked my stopwatch. I smile, I'm getting faster. After we arrived Jellal and His comrades helped us unlock our second origins. It was excruciatingly painful but the increase of magic in my system made me light headed.

"Lucy." A voice called in enochian. I tilt my head to look at a little phoenix. This is the only form he could appear to me in. His actual body was too hot. He would melt the objects around him just by breathing.

"Helios." I bow in respect.

"You stopped contacting me. Are you upset that I couldn't stop the dragon?" He asked. " By the time I could materialize, the gate was shut. My body can't come through the gates without a vessel."

I blinked, then blush. For him it had been seven years, for me it was a few days. I told him about the seven year gap.

" Do you know how its possible?" I asked him.

" I'm afraid I don't. I haven't heard of such a thing but I'll be on the hunt for information." He disappears to his world.

I sigh as I lean against a tree, then gasp as I see a pink mark around my wrist. Whats this? I ponder as I look at the symbols.

I walk back to the hotel we are staying at to ask Erza. Before I could reach her a warm hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward its body.

"Hey, Luce." Natsu whispered against my neck. My body feels incredibly tingley as I feel sensations that aren't mine. At least I was pretty sure. "We've been working hard to train for the games. It's gonna be a while so I asked Melanie..." I blink at him before realization sets in.

"Do you mean Meredy?" I clarified. He rolled his eyes at my interruption.

"Yeah, whatever. I asked if she could put her sensory magic thingy on us for a few hours so we could feel each other. The games are tomorrow but I wanted to feel close to you. Since Erza wont let us be alone for more than a few minutes, I figured I still could. I'd just have to be creative."

"Natsu! You are supposed to be training not hassling Lucy!" Erza ordered. He growled before letting me go."

I sigh as I lay in bed. I didn't know what to expect when I said yes. Seperating my sensations from his, I felt annoyance and impatience. Erza and Wendy were asleep, as I got off my bed to walk to the bathroom. There was something I wanted to do… something I needed to do… and I knew Natsu would feel it too.

I turned the shower to a comfortable head as I took my clothes off and got in. Immediately I felt tingles of pleasure that were not my own. I bit my lit to keep from being loud as I fondled my breast and flicked at my nipples. The sensation made it better as I felt him touch himself in tandem. I traced my hand down my stomach slowly and teasingly as I felt a something cup between my legs. He was touching himself, I thought giddily. I circled at my clit before pressing my fingers inside. They were not as thick as Natsu's but the feeling of him through this bond was enough to have me seeing stars in my release. I felt mine and his as I felt him feel mine. It was intense and prolonged. I sighed happily as I dried off and went to bed.
