Lucy POV

I lay on Gildarts's chest, softly kissing him. His hands were on my ass, kneading them as our tongues unhurriedly explored each other's mouths. I could feel him getting hard and I slowly ground myself against his growing erection. I sat up, slipping down to kneel between his thighs.

"Mind helping me with this?" I swiveled my body and pointed to the zipper of my dress. Gildarts pulled himself up and dragged the zipper down my back. I held the dress in place as I stood up, turning to face Gildarts. I watched him as he eyed me hungrily. I let the dress drop from my shoulders to reveal a sheer lilac bra with matching lace underwear. It was among my prettier pieces of lingerie.

"Like what you see?" I whispered huskily.

Gildarts held my thigh, urging me to turn until my back was to him. He ran his hand up my leg before caressing my butt. Gripping my hip, he pulled my down, pressing my back into his chest.

"You're so beautiful, baby," he groaned.

His hands came around me to cup my breasts, his thumbs running over my nipples. His lips latched onto the sensitive skin between my neck and shoulder, biting softly.

He unhooked my bra, dropping it on the ground next to us, before resuming his ministrations on my nipples. He rolled and tugged at the sensitive nubs, his mouth never leaving my neck.

"Baby, I want you to do as I say, okay?" he murmured in my ear. A shiver ran through me and I nodded.

"I want to watch you get yourself nice and wet for me," one of his large hands landed on top of mine, and he deliciously moved my palm down my body until my fingers reached my panties.

"But I want you to touch me," I pouted.

"I will, sweetheart," he promised, kissing my neck. His teeth grazed my throat and he gently bit down. My hand immediately slipped into my underwear and I found myself dripping. I circled my clit and moaned, the ache in my core disappearing as I worked myself. I craned my neck to look at Gildarts. The moonlight created sharp angles on his face, highlighting his already defined features. He had a look of pure lust in his eyes as he watched me toy with my clit. His expression sent a jolt of arousal straight to me core and I felt my juices coat my fingers.

"Gildarts…" I moaned loudly. His chest rumbled with a growl. I could feel his erection poking into the small of my back. With my free hand, I reached behind, trying to get at his button. Gildarts freed my breasts and quickly undid his pants. I felt his length spring loose, and I pulled my hand away from my wetness to reach behind and wrap it around his dick. I pumped his shaft a few times, until he was slick with my arousal.

"Please," I softly mewled. His growl got deeper and he stood up, kicking off his pants, before pulling my panties down my legs. I lay back on his cloak, my face tilted up to the moon.

"It's so beautiful," I whispered.

"It pales in comparison," Gildarts said simply, staring at my naked form. I blushed deeply as he knelt over me. He kissed me roughly, his body sliding over mine. He rolled off me to lay on his side, pulling me onto my side to face him. Our lips never parted as he traced a burning path from my shoulder, down past my breast and over my ribcage. His fingers traversed the dip of my waist and the flare of my hips, past my soft thighs, until he reached my knee. He wound his fingers under my knee and pulled it up to rest on his hip. I pressed closer to him, his shaft sliding along my wetness.

I moaned, jerking my hips against his. His dick brushed against my clit, eliciting a gasp from both of us. Gildarts tightened his hold on me, and with a grunt, sheathed himself in my warmth.

"You feel so good, baby," he groaned throatily. Our foreheads touched as I moved my hips to meet his thrusts. I opened my eyes and saw Gildarts gazing at me. He tipped his head to capture my lips once more. I wound my arms around him, pulling us even closer as his dick penetrated me deeply. I moaned his name loudly when the knob of his dick rubbed against the sensitive spot within my walls.

"Gildarts… harder…" I panted. His face was buried in my neck, softly biting up and down the side of my throat. I felt him smirk against my skin at my request. But beyond the slight smirk, nothing changed. He continued to thrust into me deeply, but gently. His teeth resumed nipping at my skin.

"Gildarts," I mewled, roughly bucking my hips against his.

He lifted his face from my throat. "You want to be fucked hard, baby girl?" he growled.

I nodded weakly, gripping his shoulders as he slowed his pace even further.

"I want you to ask for it," he said through gritted teeth.

"Please fuck me hard, Gildarts," I cried, feeling the coil in my stomach tighten painfully. My entire body was tense with desire, and I craved his hands roughly holding my hips as he drilled into me.

Gildarts removed his cock from inside me and I protested loudly at the emptiness. I glared up at him, ready to protest once more, but the sight of him took my breath away. The moonlight illuminated one half of his body, clearly defining his taut, rigid muscles. His hair was mussed, and it gently danced around his face as a warm summer breeze blew through the night. His eyes twinkled in the reflected light, and his lips were slightly swollen. I trailed my eyes over his frame, watching how the moonlight glinted off the sheen of sweat on his abdomen, down to his erect cock, slick and glistening with my juices. My breath hitched and I could nearly feel the drool pooling in my mouth as I feasted my eyes on him. I pushed myself onto my knees, crawling over until his dick was in line with my face. I stroked it gently, fascinated by the moonlight bouncing off its slickness. I wrapped my mouth around him, tasting myself.

My tongue ran up the underside of his shaft before swirling around the tip. Gildarts gasped, fisting his hand through my hair as he slowly bucked himself into my mouth. I let one of my hands creep towards my apex, and I began rubbing my clit while bobbing my head around his cock.

With a pop, Gildarts pulled himself out of my mouth. He helped me to my feet, crushing his mouth to mine.

"Stand against that tree," he murmured in his velvety baritone voice, gesturing towards a thick one a few steps away. I walked over to it, swaying my hips dramatically. I leaned back against it, watching Gildarts stride up to me. His lips caught mine, one hand tweaking my nipple while a digit on the other slid into my pussy. He had me in the exact same position we'd been in when I wanted to fuck him on the street. Evidently, he was thinking the same thing.

He growled, replacing the finger inside me with his dick in one swift movement. He lifted my leg to allow himself better access as he slammed his cock into me. I threw my head back against the tree, moaning as he fucked me. My fingers clawed at his shoulders, desperate to pull him as deep into me as possible. A stream of sharp gasps left my lips as he drove into my relentlessly. The pleasure in my core was so intense I couldn't feel the rough bark of the tree scrape against my exposed back.

Gildarts pulled out, flipped me around, and drove back in before I had a chance to process the change in our position. I clung to the tree, throwing my hips back in time to meet his thrusts. Gildarts hand connected sharply with my ass and I squealed.

"God… More, Gildarts… fuck… harder…" I begged, gasping as he slammed into me.

His hand came down on my ass once more and the sting sent a wave of pleasure straight to my centre.

I wanted him to put his fingers around my throat like he had the last time, but I didn't know how to ask for it. I groaned in frustration, moving my hips vigorously to make up for it. Gildarts hunched over me, bringing his lips to my ear.

"Something the matter, darling?" he whispered seductively.

"I want… more!" I cried, swiveling my hips.

Gildarts gripped my hips tightly and began pounding into me.

"No," I moaned, "I want…"

"Ask for what you want," he growled.

I could feel my pussy walls squeezing his dick as it throbbed inside me. I threw my head back, exposing my neck. "Please choke me," I whispered.

Gildarts let out a strangled moan, his hand flying up to wrap around my throat. He pressed down, and I felt my airway constrict marginally. The combined sensations of his hand around my throat and his dick deep in my pussy made the tight coil in my stomach snap. Pure ecstasy washed over me as I cried his name. My knees buckled and I fell towards the ground. Gildarts kept his hand on my hip, slowing my fall, until I was on my knees, spasming through the orgasm. Gildarts continued pushing his dick into me.

My pussy was still milking his cock as the aftershocks of my orgasm faded. Gildarts's thrust had become more erratic and I could feel his dick twitch inside me. His hand connected with my ass and he tightened his hold on my throat. My spent body began climbing towards another orgasm. My muscles clenched as my release drew near. I moaned unintelligibly, my fingers curled in the soft grass under me. With a groan, Gildarts came in me, shuddering as he fell over me, bracing himself on his hand. Feeling his warm seed spurt into me triggered my second orgasm, and it cascaded over me in a torrent of pleasure. I turned my face into his arm, biting down on his bicep as jolts of pleasure radiated out of my core. When we both were able to draw breath, Gildarts sat back on his heels, pulling me into him. He maneuvered us until his back was against the tree and I was curled sideways in his lap.

"Fuck, darling," he panted. "You're fucking amazing," he bent down to kiss me.

I nestled my head against his shoulder, tracing patterns on his chest. His arms curled around me protectively.

"You're amazing," I whispered, ghosting a kiss against his collarbone.

He held me like that, kissing me softly as we talked, and soon, he made love to me again.

After bringing each other to our climaxes over and over, we finally slipped on our clothes. I sat between Gildarts's legs, leaning into his chest, as he wrapped his cloak around us. We spoke in quiet whispers amidst soft kisses as the first rays of the sun began creeping up over the horizon.

"I'm sorry, darling, I've kept you up all night," he apologised.

"It was one of the most amazing nights, Gildarts. Thank you," I said sincerely, kissing him. I was painfully aware that I was leaving on a mission today and was probably going to be exhausted the entire day, but after the night I had, exhaustion was a small price to pay.

"Let me walk you back home," Gildarts offered. He helped me off the ground and intertwined his fingers with mine. We walked back through the forest and down the cherry blossom trail. The town was still quiet as we wove through the streets until we reached my apartment. Gildarts escorted me up to my front door.

"Good luck on your mission, baby," Gildarts murmured as we stood in my doorway.

"Thank you," I stood on my toes, leaning up for a kiss. Gildarts moved his mouth against mine in perfect harmony. When I turned the handle to go inside, Gildarts lightly smacked my butt.

"Be good, darling," he smirked. I blew him a kiss before stepping in and shutting the door behind me.

Gildarts POV

The blush on her cheeks as she shut the door was goddamn heavenly. As I walked away, I thought about what a good time I'd had. I hadn't lied when I told her it had been awhile since I'd gone on a date. I failed to mention that the last date I'd gone on was with Cornelia. Every other woman I'd been with since was a nameless, faceless warm body to keep me company on my long nights away from home.

Lucy, however, wasn't just a warm body. She was amazing, exceptional, beautiful. And sex with her was unimaginably good. But still, even she wouldn't be able to fill the Cornelia sized hole in my heart. For as long as we were casual, we'd be okay, but I worried about what would happen if that were to change on either of our ends. I gritted my teeth, knowing I'd have to be mindful of all our emotions - hers, mine, Cana's.

A/N: I've been writing like crazy because I'm bored of everything on Netflix and I'm just waiting for Umbrella Academy S2 to drop. Anyway, this now means I have a several chapter backlog, and I kinda like having only a 1-2 chapter backlog. I know I uploaded one like a few hours ago, but I'll anyway also be uploading another in a few hours.

Also, I am trying very hard to not succumb to a daddy kink with Lucy and Gildarts even though I instinctively want to. Would you like to see their power dynamic swing in that direction, or is this slightly commanding but still gentle thing working for you?

And lastly, we're not gonna have a ton of smut for the next couple chapters, but there are a few crucial conversations and some plot development.

Let me know what you think!
