Chapter 3


The light of the morning filled Eustass's room, having already been awake for sometime Eustass took his leisure admiring the beauty sleeping in his bed. Watching the subtle nuances dance across her face as she began to wake up from her rest. 'She looks like some kind of golden fairy.' Thinking to himself with a lecherous smile, 'I'm curious to hear why she carries a whip around, sweet and kinky what a fucking combination. hehe'

Stretching her body in a languid fashion, shacking off the last remnants of sleep... Lucy's first thoughts upon waking were how well she slept and how she couldn't remember the last time she had slept so well, without any nightmares ripping her out of fitful sleep or getting disrupted by Natsu and Happy... 'Yet here I am, on a strange ship in bed a man I just met and *sighs* thoroughly treated me to the most pleasure I've experienced in my entire life...'

Opening her eyes, she ponders internally 'How can I possibly feel so at ease? This just *rolls eyes inwardly at the cliché-ness of it all* … this just feels right…' The lull of the ocean and the feel of her lover's chest as she now dances her fingers across his muscled frame.

Shifting her face up to him and sighs as he looks at her with that sharp grin, "Good morning beautiful." Blushing at the newness of it all, Lucy smiles at him, "Good morning, have you been awake long?" "I hope I wasn't snoring..."

Laughing at her, "You're fine woman, just taking it all in." "How are you feeling?" Smiling devilishly as he glides his hand down her stomach before firming grasping her between the legs, "Not too sore right?" he asks as he leans in to kiss her neck.

Moaning in response, still holding his gaze Lucy realizes with a start that she doesn't feel sore at all, "Huh, no... I feel great actually... Weird, not that I'm complaining but after last night I'd expect to feel well at least a little sore..." Laughing at her confusion, Eustass admits with a blush "Yeah, you probably would've but I rubbed you with some healing ointment while you were sleeping, the stuffs really fucking amazing and hard to come by too but you're worth it you gorgeous little vixen hehe."

Taken aback by his kind action, Lucy pulls herself up his body. Placing a sweet kiss on his cheek, "Thank you Captain Eustass." Smiling and overwhelmed with the feeling of joy radiating through her being Lucy sighs and rests her head on Eustass's chest.

After a moment Lucy takes a deep breath, "As much as I'm enjoying lying here with you, I think it's time we talked." Blushing at how familiar this felt, as if they'd been lovers all her life instead of having just met yesterday.

Groaning in mock annoyance, "Yeah Princess, can't argue with you there-but first-" Grabbing his mystery goddess under her arms and hauling Lucy up his chest. Nestling her neck and imprinting her unique scent to memory, Eustass growls, "How can anyone smell this good" then firmly kissing her until she too is left breathless. Affectionately swatting her sexy ass, he changes their position so they're sitting up and leaning against his dark wood headboard.

Gathering her thoughts, Lucy turns her body so she's fully facing him- while never breaking contact. "There's so much to talk about, so many questions. I don't know anything about you other than your name- Eustass Captain Kid and that this is your ship right..." Taking a deep breath, hoping he isn't part of a dark guild, but knows she needs to ask, "What guild do you belong to? Is Captain your title?"

Her breath hitched as an icy chill ran down her spin at his response…

The look on his face could have been categorized as funny if not for the serious weight in the room. 'Shit there she goes with the guild talk again, what's her deal?' "Hah you've dropped that word a couple times now, honestly I don't have a fucking clue what you're going on about- what the hell is a guild?!" His tone harsher than intended but for fucks sake, it's in his nature to be harsh and this shit was already confusing without her asking weird ass questions. Nevertheless his curiosity was piqued and not just because he was enthralled with her.

Seeing her stiffen and try to catch her breath as if in shock immediately raised his hackles, the look in her eyes pleading with him as if to say -you're joking, please be joking… Scratching the back of his head and giving her his signature sidelong grin, "Lucy, again I don't have the faintest idea about 'guilds' nor am I a part of these so called guilds. And yes, this is my ship, the Victoria Punk- we're sailing on the South Blue right now and damn straight blondie, you better believe it, that's my title: Captain of the Kid Pirates." Laughing to ease the tension building in the room he adds "You must live under a rock for not realizing this sooner, and really what's all this about-"

The shattered look on Lucy's face stopped Eustass in his tracks, the look of distress on her face awakening a possessive fury from deep inside him roaring out against the look of pain on his woman's face. 'Damn, I'm really losing my mind to be this concerned about some female.' Shockingly even the mere thought of her being "just some female" left a bad taste in his mouth, increasing his fury. He couldn't shake the overwhelming need to comfort her, 'wtf.'

Grabbing her lightly around the neck, to offer her support or anchor his own chaotic thoughts, "Blondie. Hey. Hey Lucy, look at me." he growled.

Eyes frantically searching his face, Lucy felt like shell-shocked, 'what does he mean he's never heard of guilds before- and what the...pirates?! What the hell does he mean he is the captain of pirates. I mean yeah that sounds cool and all, but they're not really all that common in Fiore…' Her panicked thoughts jumped in such rapid succession that she felt disoriented- making her heart race and her lungs tight. Before she could spiral any further Eust grasped her neck, gently rubbing her stiffening shoulder, the effect on her is undeniable. Feeling more grounded but still needing to feel more of him, Lucy places her hands on his legs.

Seeing her begin to calm, Eustass pressed on, "I need you to take a deep breath Princess. Let's start with how you ended up in the middle of the Blue Sea?" A creeping feeling crawled up his spine as a chilling thought took hold, 'Something's up, things are definitely not lining up... it's like we're from two different worlds but that's not possible right?' The look on his face must have gave his own uncertain thoughts away as she looked at him with desperation.

Unconsciously, Lucy's grasp tightened on his legs. Her mind, while calmer, was sending out warning flares to the information she was trying to digest- her intelligence and wit were too sharp to overlook these stark details but her mind was not ready to process what dragon sized realizations she was having… "Blue Sea? South Blue I think you said that too earlier... all of this is unfamiliar to me Eustass and quite frankly I don't understand how you've never heard of guilds..." Taking a breath Lucy continues, "Ok yesterday... I had just finished up a solo-mission in a small town in the Northernmost region of Fiore… literally this place is in the middle of nowhere but the jewel was good and honestly I needed a break from my team, love 'em but damn are they destructive *shit I'm babbling*, anyway the town was on the mainland and just beyond the Whirlpool Sea. The mission was to get rid of some dark mages that decided to make camp at the town's sacred island Catapulte du Destin, that was easy enough and the Mayor let me go back to explore the island's ruins…"

The more Lucy shares, the more alarmed and pissed off Eustass becomes, 'Fiore? … damn is she high… no definitely not high… maybe she's crazy… she doesn't seem crazy… maybe she hit her head, yeah she's probably just … no… what the hell is going on here?!' The intensity of his gaze should have terrified her but for whatever twisted reason it spurred her to continue.

"I was fascinated with the ruins, the language wasn't one I'd ever come across before in all my studies and adventures. I'll have to show you, I took some Lacrima shots of them after I made some rough sketches in my journal. Oh I can't wait to show Levy!" Realizing she's going on another tangent, she laughs- her smile making him feel a little more at ease even though none of her story made a lick of sense.

"The ruins, I was trying to decipher what they could mean when I found myself in the middle of an altar room… I mean I'm guessing it was an altar. Surrounded by a circle of stone columns and everything- the columns, the floor, the steps, the walls… everything- was covered in this foreign rune like etchings. The outer circle was demarcated by the columns, the next by this huge circular set, and in the center was a slightly raised circular table, it was kind of like a step too or a tiny stage… it couldn't have been larger than umm, well bed. Ha ha.."

The next words she uttered snapped the air right out of his lungs, "I walked over, completely in awe. I don't know how but once I was in the center I had this strange feeling come over me, like a key part of my life was missing and standing there it almost felt like someone was trying to open a hidden door inside my mind that held this knowledge. I wanted to make a note of this so … I - holy Mavis!" Lucy quickly lifts her left hand in examination her pink ribbon still securely wrapped around her hand, stained red in the center where she injured her hand. Unraveling the ribbon from her hand Lucy revealed a long angry gash on her palm. "What the hell cut me?! That's right! When I reached toward my bag something slashed my hand, damn how could I forget about my hand!? I don't even know how this could have happened…"

Furious that she'd been injured this whole time and he didn't know. Eustass grabs her hand in question and intensely stares at the offending marr on her beautiful skin, it was long and needing treatment. Reaching over to his nightstand, he grabs the ointment he used on her earlier, taking her hand in his while using his other to smooth the medicine on the slash and in a sharp tone "You should have said something sooner Lucy" was all he could reply. Taking a moment to quell his anger, he asks "Does it hurt?" needing to know if she's ok before hearing the rest of her bizarre story. Looking at him intently, she nods her head "It feels a lot better now, that stuff really is incredible, I'd love to learn about it's properties. Wendy and Porlyusica are going to flip over this stuff... well Porlyusica will grumble in her own joyful way after she chases me off... haha" Seeing his blank stare at her ramblings she laughs, "Ok, back to what happened... where was I..." Lucy thought back to the events of the previous day.

"Yeah, ok... yesterday, right. Ha, still I honestly can't say what did this to me… This must be related, I just know it. Ugh, this is embarrassing, but fuck it- I'm sure it's important. The pain was so unexpected that I fell over, my hands catching my fall- shit that hurt" Closing and opening her left hand as if in memory of the pain. "My blood, in that moment it looked like it was everywhere, filling the groves of the ancient runes carved in the stone." Sighing and looking up into her lover's eyes.

There was a long pause, "Well! What next? How does that explain-" Irritated by the silence and needing to know more, Eustass was becoming increasingly pissed off- not at Lucy, but at the situation that made absolutely zero sense… 'Maybe I should get her to an island doctor... ugh well we'll be at the Sabaody Archipelago soon enough, if need be we'll get her help there...'

"Woah, chill out grumpy pants, you're more pissy than Erza when someone gets between her and cake haha. Red heads, I swear," she teases trying to lighten the heavy mood. "As I was saying, I think my blood might have triggered a magic circle because after I fell and my blood mixed with the runes… a huge magic circle formed under me- all around me was the blinding flashing light and the magic circle seemed to grow… and well then… that's it. One moment I'm being enveloped by the circle's light and the next thing I know I'm being dropped. Like the ground fell out from under me… and dumped me into the middle of the ocean." Letting out an exasperated breath, retelling and thinking about all of this was draining.

Her words seemed to have short circuited Eustass, he looked frozen as he stared at her blankly, "Erm... Eusty…" The odd nickname she gave him snapped the Captain out of his shock, growling "What the hell did you just call me?!" he flashed back at her in response to her newest pet name for him. Laughing, Lucy leans in and kisses his cheek. "Yeah Eusty" It felt good to joke with him, his temper was oddly amusing and even stranger still comforting. Easing the discomfort of the conversation.

Rolling his eyes, she really has no idea how quickly he would kill anyone else for having the audacity to call him in such a ridiculous manner. "Blondie, you're asking for trouble" his threat clearly lacking his usual venom. Smiling ominously in a way that should have terrified Lucy, in fact it would have terrified any other living being to see it, but for whatever demented reason his evil smirks were quite endearing to her.

Collecting herself, Lucy continues sharing what she experienced- "After I was dropped in the water, I felt a strong pull but I was honestly so disoriented at first that I just kinda floated there on my back… but Eustass… I think… I think it was you. The pull I felt was the direction you came from, and that feeling only got stronger as the distance between up closed. Did you feel it too?" All the attempts at joking vanished as Lucy's voice took on a shaky note, again she seemed to be pleading with him on a primal level that neither was fully aware of yet.

Involuntarily growling at his lover's apparent distress, he felt compelled to tell her everything. "Listen Princess, all I know is that one moment I'm working in my cabin and the next I see this blinding light off in the distance out that window there" Pointing to the large window by his desk- "After that it's like… every nerve ending in my body, all my senses, everything was screaming at me to go there. So.. Yeah, Lucy… I felt the pull, am still feeling this overpowering pull to you. Everything in me is screaming at me… that you…" A light blush forms across his cheeks, and he lets out a frustrated groan.

"What, that I'm what?" Lucy too felt a desperation she never quite experienced before, 'I need to know, I need to know it's not just me'


Lemons Ahead


With speed that left her head spinning, Eustass grabs hold of Lucy, changing their positions so that she's completely under him, boxing her in between his arms and legs. Holding himself up with his muscular arms so he doesn't crush his little Fairy, he all but roars "That you, Lucy, belong to me!" His words and position trigger an onslaught of emotions, igniting her arousal.

"The moment I felt that pull, I knew. I damn well don't fucking know how I knew but I did. -Ah damnit woman you smell so fucking good!- I don't know and I don't fucking care" he words sounding like breathy growls. Lowering himself fully onto his lover, his cock painfully hard demanding entrance into her welcoming folds as he began to rub himself up and down her apex.

Feeling dizzy from the onslaught of desire, Lucy all but purred her approval and need into his ears, dragging her legs up his to give him better entrance to her scorching core. "Please" Sliding her hands all over her man's head, neck and torso- a strange voice from deep within her soul whispered a word that left her spiraling, before she could stop herself from saying it out loud the words slipped out, "Mate." As if his internal voice had been whispering that to him as well, Eustass growled- "yes, Mate." Both lovers eyes dilating until all either could see of the other's was black, ecstacy coursing through them.

Lucy could hardly catch her breath, eager to have more of him and feeling as though she was at his complete mercy, "Ahh Eust mmm, I-need-you-please" the words rushing out her mouth. Dragging her nails down his back, "Fuck me now."

Chuckling at her bossiness, loving this new side of her, Eustass grabs her chin firmly with one hand as he slowly begins to thrust his throbbing cock into her dripping heat. Stopping and eliciting a distressed whimper from his Fairy… His hold on her face tightens to the point of bruising, as he looks down into her sparkling eyes "YOU ARE MINE!" Snapping his hips forward with breaking force, slamming into her fully. He roars erotically, feeling out of control, "YOU BELONG TO ME!" Thrusting in and out of her with intoxicating power and force. Sending her into several mini climaxes and her entire body begs him for more.

Tears spilled out as she was unprepared for this addicting combination of pleasure and pain, she needed more "Yours!" "Harder!" She couldn't stop herself from crying out his name, "Eustass!" Finally he released her jaw and she instinctively tilted her head, exposing the length of her neck in submission. Desperate for something, but unsure of what…

'Oh gods she feels like magic' "ugh, mmm gods be damned woman you're gonna kill me, so fucking tight." Growling her name "Lucy" His vision suddenly narrowed at the sight of her exposed neck. It beckoned and commanded, awakening something beastly and primal deep inside him. His actions being purely driven by his instincts: 'Claim her' 'Mark her' 'Mate' That word again, it still felt odd but also shockingly right, "mmm Mate" unable to resist the urge any longer, Eustasss sank his sharp fangs deep into her neck as he continued to thrust wildly into her. His entire life force seemed to Claim her as his, as if she had always been his and until this moment had just been biding time.

Lucy was blind with need and lust, her golden spirit seemed to be threading itself with his. Unable to process her actions… her response to his fangs ripping into her neck seemed to be fueled entirely by her own primal instincts. Unable to resist, she immediately returns his claiming bite with one of her own, sinking her pearlescent teeth into him. As she bites into his powerful shoulder, drawing a tiny amount of blood. Both lovers become overwhelmed by the feeling of utter completeness, surrounding them is glittering light- binding their spirits eternally.

Unbeknownst to the lovers overcome with their instinct fueled coupling, their actions served to cement their bond and complete a long forgotten sacred magic ritual, the mating bond of cosmic mates. The intensity of the bond sending both to new heights, the feelings coursing through them so powerful that they lost all senses, and for a moment existed as pure energy.

Spurred on with a force greater than himself, Eustass slammed into his lover at a punishing pace. Moaning her name and demanding her lips grant him entrance as he thrust his tongue into her mouth, kissing her until breathless. The feel of her bite, her pussy milking his damned soul from his dick, and the exquisite taste of her blood pulling him over the edge, with relentless speed and strength he slammed into her- stretching & filling her completely. His essence and life force flowing into her and he absorbed hers, "Eustass, mmmm mine" unable to hold off her climax any longer Lucy saw stars, and the painfully sweet squeeze sent him over. Releasing an animalistic growl he buried himself to the hilt, as if melding their souls together- shattering all thoughts beyond the exquisite magic of being connected. Electrical currents shot down his length as he climaxed with such force that it sent her spiraling into another more powerful orgasm. Rhythmically pulling him deep inside her welcoming core in her throes of pleasure.

A deep sense of completion filled the lovers, breathless and dripping. Still buried deep inside her, he expertly shifts their positions so that his little Fairy is once again laying on top with her head resting on his chest, stroking her hair. "Lucy, not that I'm complaining, but what the hell was that?" "Would you believe me if I told you it was fate?... Honestly Eusty, I really don't know. I feel different somehow though… I feel like my entire life has somehow been leading me to you. This is going to sound crazy but I …just thinking about being away from you hurts" The moment those words left her mouth his grip on her arms turned bruising and the growl he released sent chills down her spine. "Don't even think about it, just the thought makes me sick."

Nuzzling her neck affectionately and enjoying the scent of their coupling, Eustass couldn't help but grin. 'Gods be damned, but I could get used to this."

After several more rounds of intense love making, Lucy felt the need to nap and quickly fell fast asleep. Eustass grumbling for food decided he better get the day started and give his lover a break, gently placing some of the powerful healing ointment on her so she wouldn't be too sore when she woke. Getting up and throwing on some pants Eustass left his golden Princess to grab them some much needed sustenance. 'Shit, I don't know how long its been since she last ate but clearly she's in need of some food. Tiny thing that she is..." Eustass thinks to himself as he looks down at her sleeping sounding in his bed. Shaking himself, he leaves he sleeping. Each step he takes away from her kindling a fire of irritation.

Heading to the mess hall in nothing but his pants, he stops and scowls and the dumbfounded looks on his crews' faces. His irritation now boiling over into full force anger gets unleashed on his very confused looking crew.


Elsewhere on the Victoria Punk…

The sounds of their intense mating could be heard throughout the entire ship. His crew, not a group to be shy, were for once left speechless. "Well he sure didn't wait long." -Wire said, finally breaking the awkward silence. "What if it's a trap" -someone voiced in the mess hall. "Are you saying you don't trust our Captain?" -Wire retorted as he stood to his full height (well tried to but the ceilings were just shy of him being able to do so).

"All of you need to shut the fuck up. You all have things you should be doing, not gossiping like mindless marines" -Killer, always the wise protector of his dear friend and Captain.

Before anyone could make their retreat, said Captain came barreling through the swinging doors.

"What the hell is with those stupid looking faces men!?" Eustass, irritated, hungry and pissed at the upcoming conversation he still needed to finish with Lucy, decided to take his frustrations out on his crew. Slamming his fist in the unfortunate gawker to his right, "Any of you have a problem?!"

"No Captain!" "Good. Now get the fuck to work slackers."

Grumbling to himself he fills 5 plates with mountains of food, then turning around he signals for Killer, Heat, and Wire.

"I'm going to cut to the chase, I'm keeping the woman. Have you ever heard of a place called Fiore? And what do you know about *ugh* *looking to the side* mates?"


Back in the Cabin

Lucy was just beginning to stir when Eustass entered the room carrying 5 very large plates of food. Grumbling loudly in famished protest, Lucy blushed a deep red realizing she hadn't eaten in what felt like days.

Setting the plates down on a long table in the far corner, Kid grabs one to place in front of Lucy sitting on the bed. "Eat. Can't have you starving to death on me."

After she finished eating her fill, she sat back and sighed. "Thank you, I didn't realize how hungry I was-" Handing her a large jug of fresh water "Oh yes please!" 'This water tastes like heaven' "Mmmm" "Mavis this is amazing!" Lucy's reaction was priceless, "Damn, woman be careful haha you're making me jealous of the water" Laughing even harder at her bristling reaction.

Taking the empty mug and plate over to the table, Eustass grabs a chair and pulls it to the bed to sit near Lucy but needing some space to think clearly.

"Lucy, we still need to finish our talk and I think we now have more to discuss with what happened last night and well this morning. I still got a lot of questions and I know you do too. And don't you dare think I'm complaining but what happened earlier when we fucked… I think something might have happened to us and we need to find answers' 'Fortunately Lucy was already thinking the same.

"I'm glad we're on the same page, and research is my thing. I'll have my Spirits look into it too. I've seen something like this before but I might be getting a head of myself, first" grabbing her keys from their holder that was now on Kid's nightstand she silently sends a request to grandpa Crux, "Already on it dearie. Zzzz" Eustass looking around the room in alarm, "Lucy what the hell was that?" Eustass demands as he continues to look around the room for the disembodied voice.

A look of astonishment fills her eyes, "Oh wow you heard him too? Weird… Umm haha that was Grandpa Crux, and he is the master of knowledge. It might take some time but he'll be able to help us out." Lucy explains but much to Kid's chagrin still leaves him with more questions than answers.

Sighing his acceptance that for now he'll just need to go with the flow, with a shake of his head he concedes "Huh, well that's fucking crazy but alright Blondie…"

A heavy pause lingers between the two for a moment, both fearing the glaring truth that neither could fully believe just yet.

Finally, Eustass asked the question that was like a bucket of ice water to her peace of mind, "Lucy, is Fiore a town? In all my travels I've never come across anything by that name. Island, settlement, or even ships"

Her heart knew he wasn't joking however her mind refused to accept the his words as truth, "That's funny stud *gently punches him in the arm* but stop joking, good though it may be." The look on his face was stone-like, not a hint of humor… "Eustass come on… Fiore is the largest continent on Earthland. I'm a Fairy Tail mage, I'm a Celestial Wizard and I'll have you know I'm part of one of the strongest teams in Fairy Tail: Team Natsu hahaha. Not only that but our guild is ranked number one in Fiore... shoot maybe all of Earthland hahah and look see" Thrusting out her right hand, Lucy presents her lover with her cotton candy pink Fairy Tail tattoo… but as she does so the look on his face leaves her feeling ungrounded, "This is my Fairy Tail mark… I'm…" The look of concern on his face stopped her, taking away her ability to speak for a moment. "Why are you looking at me like this is the first time you've ever heard any of this before?!" Her voice rising in pitch and her breathing becoming frantic. Voicing her inward thoughts aloud, "No... it can't be, but also it's the only thing that seems to add up..." Groaning with the beginnings of a painful headache Lucy exclaims, "How is this happening again?!"

Not following her train of though, and still worried that he might have to take his new bedmate to a doctor after all, Eustass looks at her with a serious gaze, "Lucy, I'm not saying you're lying but I need you to understand something. Fiore, wizard guilds and mages, Fairy Tail-" before he could finish Lucy cut him off, "Where are we?"

"Right now we're sailing on the South Blue of the Blue Sea, heading to the Sabaody Archipelago before making our way to the New World."

...
