Haloha, everyone! Hope you're having a good day! Thanks for the continued support as always! I'm glad to hear the feedback from all of you from the last chapter!
To address a review by TienMaD, rated M chapters… I might consider that actually, after this story is over. Maybe some bonus M-Rated chapters between Natsu and Wendy.
To answer your second question, yeah, I do want to show how Natsu, Lucy, and Wendy's relationship change afterwards. Lucy hasn't become one of the major characters at this point in the story, but she's still an important friend to Natsu, so I still do want to show that,
As to whether there'll be more surprises… guess we'll have to wait and see, eh?
To One who saw All, haha, I'm happy to hear that! I was definitely thinking of beach cliches to use, and I just rolled with that one. I can definitely understand that flying-to-the-moon Happy feeling!
Now, you've probably read the title. The moments between Natsu and Wendy here are much more intimate compared to the last two chapters. It's probably bordering on the rating between T and M... so just a little warning, things will get almost heated between Natsu and Wendy. (If this story was rated M, oh I would push the limits...)
After this chapter, I'll switch to writing on the softer and fluffier end.
Anyhow, enjoy reading!
Chapter 39: Make me yours.
"Let's all partake in the mixed hot springs!"
"… Huh?" was what everyone said in unison.
"You heard me right." Erza crossed her arms. "The mixed hot springs are available for us to use!"
"The mixed hot springs…?" Jellal blinked in surprise. "You don't mean…"
"Exactly what I mean, Jellal." Erza smiled, puffing her chest out proudly. "We could all share a bath together."
It took a while for the reality of her words to settle in. They all exchanged confused glances with each other. But once it did, though…
A b-bath with Erza…?! Jellal's face heated up instantly. To be in the grand presence of the Great Titania… I don't deserve such a thing! An Erza in a swimsuit was already cruel to his heart, now imagine an Erza in nothing…
A bath with my darling! Juvia wanted to squeal in joy. She couldn't control her excitement. I can bear witness to Gray's amazing body in its entirety!
A bath with Natsu… Wendy blushed at the thought. She wondered what would happen if they got in the bath together. Strangely enough, she didn't feel repulsed by Erza's suggestion. Her mind and body were still in a… heated state from the little accident she and Natsu went through.
"I'll… uh, pass." Jellal said. "You girls can go in first."
"No, no." Erza shook her head in disapproval, firm in her decision. "You'll be joining us, Jellal. I'm not leaving anyone behind."
"I appreciate your intentions, Erza." Jellal took a few steps back. "B-But–"
"Very well, I appreciate your company!" Erza grabbed his arm and shoved him towards the mixed room's entrances, not giving him any chance to speak.
Wendy and Juvia looked at each other and exchanged curious looks.
"Gray darling!" Juvia turned around. "Let's head into the bath together!" However, she saw him slowly walking away. "Gray?"
Wendy followed her gaze and saw Natsu also walking away with him. What are they doing…?
We're sorry, Jellal. Natsu and Gray silently apologized to him for taking this journey alone. Unfortunately for these two…
GRIP!
"Ah…" Two hands gripped Natsu and Gray's shoulders, preventing their escape. They robotically turned their necks around and…
"And just where do you think you two are going?" Erza asked, her eyes sparkling with sinister intent.
"E-Erza, hey…!" Gray tried to play it cool. "We're just… gonna take a stroll around the beach!"
"Y-Yeah, what he said!" Natsu quickly added.
"Hoh…" Erza tightened her grip on them, sending shivers up their spines. "You wouldn't happen to be thinking about running away…. Are you?"
"W-What?" Gray chuckled nervously. "O-Of course not, Erza!"
"W-We wouldn't dare think about that!" Natsu gulped in fear.
"That's music to my ears, boys." Erza turned around and dragged them to the others. "Then you'll have no problem taking a bath with us."
"L-Listen, Erza…" Gray attempted to reason with her for the sake of their sanities. "W-Why don't you and the girls take a bath first? We can wait…"
"Why wait when we can all take a bath together?" Erza asked back. "We all used to take baths together when we were kids. It'll be just like old times."
"Y-Yeah, but we were just kids back then…" Gray huffed. Erza had grown into quite a woman… not to mention Juvia would be there, too! I don't think I'm mentally ready for this.
In all honesty, Natsu wouldn't mind taking a bath with Erza. They've seen each other's body countless times. That didn't really bother him because his main concern was not Erza…
"Come on, nothing says perfect skinship like a nice hot spring bath!" Erza's eyes sparked with excitement. She dearly loved Natsu and Gray like her little brothers. She considered this a special time to bond with everyone.
"S-Still, Erza…" Natsu was practically at his wits' end. "I–"
Erza swung their bodies into the mixed room before either of them could say anything back. She then turned to the bluenettes. "Well, let's get in together, shall we?"
Wendy and Juvia once again exchanged curious glances with each other. They couldn't help but feel a little bad for the boys. Still, with Erza keeping them in tow, they could get up close and personal with their partners…
In the hot springs…
…
..
.
The boys had resigned themselves to this fate. It was either taking a bath with them or facing Erza's wrath. It became immediately clear which decision was preferable.
"There's really no going against Erza." Gray sighed, stripping off his clothes and wrapping a towel around his waist.
"Mhmm…" Natsu hummed in response, reluctantly taking off his scarf and placing it in his basket. He swung a towel over his shoulder. I need to stay calm…
"She… certainly feels strongly about this." Jellal said.
"Perhaps you're the only one who can put out her flames." Gray patted his shoulder and gave a playful wink.
"Uh…" Jellal's face glowed a faint red. "I suppose you have more to worry about with Juvia."
"Yeah." Gray scratched his cheek. "She's definitely looking forward to this…" He wasn't sure what to do if Juvia made… advances on him. At least Erza wouldn't be so forward to Jellal… would she?
Natsu clawed his cheeks, thinking about his feelings, about the little bluenette. Even now, his mind hadn't totally calmed down. He was… afraid, for some reason. Being near her was igniting something draconic in him. If he were to meet her in the bath, how would he react? I should keep myself away…
"I'll head to the hot springs first." Gray told them. "I'll wait for you two."
"Sure." Jellal nodded.
Gray pushed past the curtains and was immediately greeted with the sight of wide hot springs. Its springs glowed a calming white light, exuding a holy and pure presence. White and dense fog rose into the air, making their vision a little hazy. Wooden walls ran around the perimeters, carved with intricate shapes and details, which gave it a traditional feel.
Wow. Gray said in awe. This is one pretty big area for a hot spring… his attention shifted to the sky because it was suddenly nighttime, and the bright moon could be seen above. Huh, I'm sensing spatial magic…
"Hey, Gray."
"Hmmm…?" Gray turned to the voice and saw Wendy approaching him. She was wearing a towel which reached from her chest down to her thighs. "Oh, Wendy. Where's Erza and Juvia?"
"They're still changing."
"I see." He nodded. "Natsu and Jellal are, too."
"Mhmm…" she wanted to ask where Natsu was but she found her answer.
Gray stared at the quiet sky for a moment. Juvia… she graced his mind. He didn't know how he felt about having a bath with her. But at the same time, he felt this was a good opportunity…
"Wendy…"
"What is it, Gray?"
He crouched down to her level. The two then shared a private conversation, which ended with them fist-bumping each other.
Soon, everyone else finished changing and entered the hot springs area.
"Hey, you're already here." A commanding voice called out. "I was beginning to think you'd run away."
"Erza…" Gray turned to them and saw Erza and Juvia approaching them. Like Wendy, they were wearing towels wrapped around their chests reaching down to their thighs. Of course, his gaze was focused on Juvia.
E-Erza… Jellal's eyes traced the contours of the towel hugging her figure. He shook his head and reprimanded himself for staring.
"Where's Natsu?" she asked.
"Hmmm?" Gray raised an eyebrow. "He's right… here…?" He looked around himself and noticed Natsu already swimming away in the distance. He's already jumping in…?
"Oh, he must be quite eager." Erza smiled sweetly. "We should join in, too."
"Gray, darling!" Juvia happily skipped to him. "Let's bath together!"
"S-Sure…" Gray blushed slightly as she took his arm in hers. He hoped she wouldn't try anything that'd shock his heart. He'd freeze her if she tried anything…
They all slowly stepped into the hot springs, immediately feeling its rejuvenating effects as the groundwater reached up to their thighs.
Juvia dragged Gray along to who knows where while Erza and Jellal settled in a corner, leaving Wendy to her lone company.
Natsu… Wendy's eyes searched through the fog around but she couldn't see his familiar pink hair anywhere. She resorted to her sense of smell and took a sniff. It was a bit difficult, identifying the scents through this thick air, but sure enough, something warm and comforting passed by her nose, one that always tingled its way to her heart. She followed the direction of the scent…
…
..
.
This seems like a good spot…
Natsu sat down, cross-legged. His body was surrounded by the springs. Feel its healing properties, he let out a sigh of exhaustion. This should cool my mind down a bit… right now, he wanted nothing more than to be alone with his thoughts, until he could figure how to calm down his–
"Natsu."
That voice… his ears twitched fiercely. A familiar and alluring scent tingled through his nose. He slowly turned around and saw Wendy in the distance. Her hair was untied, flowing down her back. A towel tightly hugged her petite figure from her chest down to her thighs. There was a certain charm to it…
"W-Wendy…"
"Hey." She smiled shyly. "I was looking for you."
"Well, you found me." He chuckled awkwardly, looking away.
Trudging through the waters, Wendy approached him. Natsu instinctively pushed himself back with every step she took, maintaining his distance to her until his back hit a wall.
"Natsu…?" Wendy called out, worries settling on her lower lip.
"Y-Yeah…?" he rubbed the side of his neck.
"Why… are you keeping your distance from me?" she asked, her tone laced with sadness. The idea of Natsu avoiding her made her heart ache.
"I'm…" he couldn't come up with a reply.
"Did you come here to be alone?" She continued approaching with small steps.
"W-Well…" he sighed, ruffling his pink hair. He just couldn't look straight at her.
"I… want to be right next to you, Natsu."
"… Why?" he forced out a reply. Why? Great question, Natsu… he didn't even think this through. Her presence and scent were making his mind grow fuzzy.
"Is it so wrong… to want to be close to the person you love?" She dropped to her knees, looking at him with flushed eyes.
"N-No…" he spun around, his back now facing her.
She reached her hand out and pressed her palm against his back. The moment their skin made contact, he quivered under her soft touch.
"I… just want to be with you." She whispered, leaning her body on his back. "Is it… not okay?"
"Of course, it's okay…" Natsu smiled softly. I didn't mean to worry her like this… if he was more honest with himself, he also desired to be beside her. But right now, she wasn't acting like her usual self.
And neither would he, soon.
They were both completely alone, with a single layer of fabric covering them. Nothing would stop either of them from listening to their desires. And that's what Natsu was most afraid of.
The two remained silent for a while, simply enjoying each other's company. Wendy traced her fingers around the outline of his back muscles, admiring his body. Natsu's body began heating up again with his heartbeat picking up pace. Her hands… just the way she moved her fingers made him feel… things.
"Natsu…" she gently pressed her palms against his back. "I want to see you."
"Mhmm…" his voice was nearly caught in his throat. He took a deep breath, then reluctantly turned around to face her. His onyx eyes met her soft, brown ones, gazing at him with longing. Her damp hair clung to her back with her front bangs framing her face. His eyes traced her bare neck down to the faint cleavage popping out of her towel. The sight left him… stunned.
Wendy caressed his rough cheek, rubbing her thumb in a circular motion. She adored the innocent look in his eyes. It was always so gentle, so caring, so understanding.
Natsu blushed heavily at her tender motions. He felt himself… relaxing under her touches. Yet his heartbeat and internal temperatures were anything but relaxed. Being right in front of her, her scent was at its strongest potency, drawing him in like a moth to a flame. And his scent was the same for her, drawing in her urges.
His gaze flicked to her parted lips, white puffs of air visible when she exhaled. He instinctively brushed his thumb and grazed her lower lip, slightly pulling it down.
His lips… she smacked her own at the sight. Wendy placed her other hand on his shoulder as she leaned towards his face. Natsu stayed still and titled his head slightly, fully aware of what she was going to do.
Both their hearts pounded for one another.
She gently met his lips with her own, capturing him in a sweet kiss. A kiss fueled by their mutual affections… yet also fueled by their restrained, unbridled desires for each other. Natsu coiled his arms around her little waist and gently pulled her, allowing her more access to his lips.
Wrapping one hand around his pink hair and the other around his neck, she brought his head closer to smother even more of his glistening lips. His heat pooled through her mouth, making her quiver in delight. Just the kiss was making both their minds grow fuzzy.
They pulled away from each other, both breathing heavily. The sensation of each other's lips lingered around their own, filling them with need, filling them with only thoughts about each other.
Wendy… her half-lidded eyes, her flushed face, her wet lips… he found her display so alluring, so sexy. I need to stop myself… his self-restraint was slowly dwindling by the second. His draconic desires were being ignited. But he just couldn't snap his gaze away from hers, as if he were magically charmed under her spell.
My body is on fire… the kiss wasn't enough, only serving to ignite her desires further. It made her want more, need more. Her lips craved more than just his sweet lips…
I need you.
"Natsu…" Wendy parted her lips and stuck her tongue out in a seductive manner.
"…" The sight of her hanging tongue was enticing. His desires flared up, overwhelming his self-restraint to take her. Opening his lips, he leaned into her mouth to capture her tongue.
His taste entered her tongue, causing an electrical jolt to shoot up her spine. She slid her tongue between his lips, taking him by surprise. Natsu instinctively flinched back, but Wendy pulled him back in, forcing her tongue to explore his velvety flesh.
H-Her tongue…! It tasted so sweet, so addicting. He could intimately feel how her tongue coiled around his own with sensual movements. Their tongues twirled around each other, their saliva meshing in a lustful mess. She aggressively devoured his taste, leaving none of him untouched as her tongue scraped his oral walls.
Needing to catch a breather, Wendy reluctantly whisked her tongue away from him, a string of saliva connecting their lips. He tasted so hot, so succulent. Drinking his saliva unleashed her arousal. Even he couldn't deny how her taste fanned his flames, made him want her even more.
She needed him.
He needed her.
And nothing would stop them.
"Natsu…" she purred his name as she stood up, his face now in level with her stomach.
"Wendy…" his gaze locked on her. What… is she going to do?
"I want to show you…" she latched her hands to the hem of her towel. "… all of me."
"A-Are you sure…?" Natsu asked, for both their sakes. Seeing Wendy like this… he wouldn't be able to hold himself back.
"Mhmm…" she nodded meekly. "… I want you to see me."
Gripping her towel, she slowly unwrapped herself. Her towel fell into the water, revealing her in her entirety to him.
Natsu let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding. She was such… a bewitching sight. Her creamy skin, her modest yet sensual proportions. His eyes traced her every curve and flesh he found so attractive.
"… Touch me, Natsu." She took his hand and placed it on her thigh.
… And oh so soft. Her skin felt so soft to touch. Natsu brushed his palm up to her hips, taking in her sensations. He wrapped his other hand around the small of her back, wanting to appreciate all of her beauty.
"Mnngh…" Wendy bit her lower lip. His gentle touches were sending waves of pleasure through her nerves. So gentle and warm… she ran her hand through his head, stroking his hair.
Natsu's fingers curled around her hip, following the curves up her waist. I can't take my eyes off her… she was like a delicate flower that had to be handled with care. He planted a tender kiss on the area just below her navel, fully adoring her.
"Haahn…" the little kiss was comforting to her senses, made her feel loved by him. "Kiss me more, Natsu…"
Natsu obliged, leaving a trail of soft kisses across her skin as he moved up towards her neck, each kiss having more passion than the last. His hand hugged her curves and smoothed towards the sides of her chest. His gaze focused on her supple and creamy neck, the sight igniting his desires to claim her.
At this very moment, Wendy wanted nothing more than to submit to him. It just felt right. Her body screamed for him, begged for him. She tilted her head away and presented her neck to him, needing to be claimed by him.
"Natsu…" she moaned his name as she curled her arms around his neck. "Make me yours."
Giving in to his desires, Natsu buried his head into the crook of her neck, taking in her alluring scent. He opened his mouth and bared his teeth, his twin fangs extending and becoming more visible. Becoming dragon-like. He ran his tongue over her supple flesh, preparing her for what he was about to do.
"Mnnh…" Wendy panted heavily in anticipation. His hot breath and tongue tingled her senses, clouding her mind with pleasure.
SLICK!
Natsu bit down on the side of her neck near her shoulder, his fangs penetrating her skin, reaching for her flesh and blood. A little amount of blood began spilling out from the wounds, trickling down her fair skin. He could taste her sweet flesh and crisp blood. It was addictive. His raw energy poured in through her directly, fusing with hers.
"Hnnngh!" Wendy gritted her teeth as his fangs penetrated her skin. There was pain crawling around her skin, but it was quickly overwhelmed by pleasures. Her entire body grew hot and weak as it received his energy. It felt like an aphrodisiac was being injected into her. This feeling…!
He pulled his fangs away and licked the bits of blood around her skin, soothing her wounds. She tasted so sweet, so pleasant, he had to hold himself back from biting down again. A faint magic circle appeared briefly on her neck, signaling she was successfully claimed by Natsu.
Wendy rubbed her bitten neck, feeling quite elated that she officially belonged to him. He's marked me…
But Natsu wouldn't let it end this way. He wasn't quite finished. His own body roared for her to claim him. He dropped to his knees and leaned his neck to her.
"Natsu…?" Wendy's gaze shifted to his delectable neck.
"Mark me, Wendy." He said in a husky voice. "Make me yours, too."
Natsu wasn't one to submit to anyone. He loved proving his prowess, especially on the battlefield. But at this moment, he wanted to surrender himself to Wendy. He simply desired her. It felt like the appropriate action to take.
Wendy's urges fired up at his submissive voice and at the sight of his vulnerable neck. Placing a hand on his shoulder and wrapping her other hand around his head, she leaned her lips into the crook of his neck. She took a big whiff of his powerful scent, making her mind grow fuzzy. She opened her mouth, bearing her own twin fangs as they extended and glistened under the moonlight.
"Mnngh…" Natsu felt weak under her powerful gaze. Even the most powerful enemies never made him want to surrender so willingly.
Wendy ran her tongue across his neck, taking in the taste of his rough flesh. And it was so tantalizingly good. She wanted to run her tongue all over his body, mark him everywhere, mark her territory.
SLICK!
Wendy bit down on his neck, her dragon fangs penetrating his flesh and letting blood seep out of the wounds. She hungrily curled her tongue around his skin, tasting the droplets of blood. It was the sweetest drink she's ever had. She buried her fangs even further, needing to taste more of his flesh and blood. Her energy pooled through his entire body and made him shiver in delight.
"Gugh…" Natsu trembled slightly from the pain, but pleasures quickly numbed him. Her raw energy felt so calm, so soothing, as if a healing warmth was spreading outwards in his body. This feels… strangely good. He wasn't used to these sensations, but he craved more of them.
Wendy drew her fangs away, letting more blood trickle down his skin. She greedily lapped his blood up in her mouth, enjoying his addictive taste. She ran her tongue around his wounds, covering them with her healing essences.
"Mnngh…" Natsu drew the back of his hand to his lips to muffle his voice, but Wendy snatched his hand away and locked it against the wall.
"W-Wendy…?"
"Scream for me, Natsu." Wendy breathed against his bare neck, tickling his senses. "I want to hear you moan my name."
"W-Wendy, w-we're not alone..." he muttered weakly. Being so caught up in her advances, he almost forgot Erza, Gray, and the others were nearby.
"I don't care if anyone hears us." Wendy growled into his ear, feeling possessive. "Let them know you belong to me."
She sank her fangs back into his skin, eliciting a moan from his lips. She drank in more of his sweet blood.
"Haahn… W-Wendy…!" Natsu groaned, his entire body jolting up with pleasures of being claimed by her. More of her raw energy poured through his body, meshing with his own, as if a drug was injected directly into his bloodstream, amplifying his pleasures. His moans reverberated through her ears, firing up her arousal further.
He wrapped his arm around her head, stroking her blue hair as she continued sucking in his blood. She pulled her fangs out and a faint magic circle glowed on his neck, letting her know she successfully marked him as her territory.
"You're mine, Natsu." She planted a soft kiss on his neck. "And I'm yours."
Natsu rubbed his palm over his wounded neck. She's marked me… a sense of happiness washed over him, to have fully bonded with Wendy. Their draconic desires were ignited, rushing through their nerves in full force.
He belonged to her. She belonged to him.
"W-Wendy…" Natsu gazed into her flushed eyes, his arms trembling with desire to have her. "I can't hold myself back anymore…"
"Then…" Wendy brushed her fingers against his jawline in a sensual fashion, quivering under his lustful gaze. She drew her lips to his ear to whisper.
"… Don't hold back, Natsu."
And that was enough to obliterate his resistance.
She was too irresistible.
Natsu instinctively lifted her thighs up, situating himself between her legs. He sat her on the edge of the hot springs, so only her lower legs were submerged in the waters.
"Mnngh…" Wendy extended her arms over his shoulders, looking at him with bated breath.
Natsu went straight for her lips first, enrapturing her in a deep kiss. Both their tongues slipped through, coiling around with each other. They could faintly taste the sweet blood on their lips.
He then pulled his mouth away, eliciting a whine from Wendy's lips, leaving her begging for more. Growling, He hung his tongue out and ran it across her bare neck before exploring downwards.
"Haahn…" Panting heavily, Wendy quivered in delight as his tongue explored her sensitive flesh. His tongue was so hot, so sensual, so fearsome. She stroked his fiery hair, encouraging him to feel her more.
Skimming his tongue from the center of her chest down to below her navel, every part of her radiated with desire. He drew his tongue away and dropped to his knees, setting his head directly between her thighs.
"N-Natsu…" just having him in front of her, her arousal heightened to incredible levels. She teasingly spread her thighs apart, desiring to reveal everything to him.
Natsu drew in a sharp breath, his eyes becoming slit-eyed like a dragon. Right before his predatory gaze…
… was her most sinful, sensitive, sweetness.
He pushed her legs apart, plopping her back knees on his shoulders, entranced by the sinful sight. It was drawing him in, needing his darkest intentions.
"Mnngh…" Wendy shivered under his terrifying gaze, at the things he could do to her. This was such a new experience that it made her a little scared… but she trusted Natsu completely.
"You're so beautiful, Wendy…" Natsu gently bit her inner thigh, strong enough to make her feel ecstatic, but not strong enough to hurt and mark her skin.
"Mnnaagh… N-Natsu…!" Wendy moaned in pleasure. His lips were so tantalizingly close to her sinful heat, to the point of teasing her mind. She dug her fingers into his hair, needing him to explore further.
Natsu drew his lips away. He wanted to take her, but sensed her legs were shaking on his shoulders. He cast his gaze up and noticed her trembling body and fearful eyes. She's… scared. Seeing her like this was enough to drown out the fires burning in him.
Wendy shut her eyes, unable to bear witness to this. She waited for him but sensed an immediate loss of his warmth, leaving her a bit confused.
He quickly stood up and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into an embrace. She was trembling heavily in his hug.
"N-Natsu…?"
"Sorry, Wendy." he whispered. "You're… scared, aren't you?"
"Huh…?" her eyes widened in surprise. She didn't realize she was shaking that much.
"We… don't have to do this."
"N-No... I'm okay, really!" she said frantically. "I can still go on!"
"Don't act tough with me, Wendy." Natsu tightened his hug around her. "Don't push yourself."
"N-Natsu…" Wendy felt herself relaxing in his embrace, her trembling body slowly subsiding. His warmth enveloped her, making her feel secure. As her mind calmed down, she realized maybe she was afraid. It was such a new experience but she didn't want to stop Natsu. Her desires wanted her to surrender herself to him.
"I… don't want to do anything that could hurt you." Natsu rested his forehead on her own. As much as he badly wanted her, as much as she badly wanted him… he would not dare cross the line if Wendy wasn't 100% ready. Their dragon instincts certainly screamed for each other, but the same couldn't be said in their rational states. I don't want her to be afraid of me.
"… O-Okay." Wendy nodded timidly. He's always so kind to me… she dearly loved his gentle side. His embrace was the safest place. Even in their heated states, Natsu wanted no harm to come to her.
Eventually, their draconic instincts died down, thanks to the dragon slayers having marked each other as their mates.
"So, uh…" Averting his gaze, Natsu handed her the towel she took off.
"Ah…!" Wendy blushed heavily, realizing Natsu could see everything. She quickly took her towel and covered herself. "T-Thank you…"
Natsu sat down and rested his back against the edge of the hot springs. Wendy followed and sat beside him. The two remained silent for a while, letting the heated atmosphere pass by. Now that their draconic instincts had subsided, the embarrassment was finally getting to them.
What the hell was I going to do to her?! Natsu clawed away at his cheeks, visibly frustrated. Was I… going to hurt her…? He followed his instincts to mark and be marked by her, and that felt pretty good… but what was going to happen afterwards? Whatever he was going to do, Wendy was scared. He was glad he snapped himself out of it before something happened.
I can't believe I showed myself to him…! Wendy sunk herself to the waters, her face hot enough to boil it. Those intimate images flashed through her mind. She'd never done something that bold before! Like Natsu, she also gave in to her instincts to mark and be marked by him. She couldn't deny that experience was amazing. What would have happened if Natsu didn't stop her…? If they fully submitted to their desires?
"You didn't have to bite down that hard, ya know?" Natsu chuckled, rubbing over her bite marks on his neck. It kinda stings…
"S-Sorry…!" Wendy grew flustered. "It just… felt really good. I couldn't help myself…"
"Haha, glad to hear that." Natsu smiled softly. "I'm proud to bear these marks… it's proof I belong to you."
"… Hehe." Wendy laid her head on his shoulder as she rubbed over her neck. "I'm really happy, too…"
These marks Natsu made on her neck… Wendy deeply cherished them. It was proof of their bond, of their love for each other. To think just a few weeks ago, they've only just started dating, and now they've officially marked each other. Of course, things could have gone further but…
They would wait until they were both ready.
