Sorry for the past and present tense errors. I struggle with that in stories and I noticed I messed up a few times in the last chapter.

Chapter 7

"So, do you want to take a shower… or a bath?" I ask as I close the door to the hotel bathroom. Natsu has a silly looking grin on his face and he's already stripping out of his shirt.

"Bath," he immediately replies and throws his shirt on the floor in a crumpled mess.

Bending over, I pick it up for him and fold it before placing it neatly on the counter. Then I walk over to the bath tub and start turning the knobs, checking the water a couple times before I'm satisfied with the temperature.

When I look back up, Natsu is fully undressed and my face starts to flame up on the spot. Was I ever going to get used to that? Every time I saw him naked it was like a punch to the gut. He was just so incredibly yummy to look at.

He jumped into the water which was only a few inches high at the moment and sat down, his eyes moving up and down my body as I stood there.

Crap, now I have to undress in front of him with his full attention concentrated on me.

My fingers float up to the hem of my shirt, the tips sliding beneath the fabric and I breathe a nervous sigh before I tug it over my head. His eyes are glued to my chest, his fingers turning white where they were gripping the side of the tub.

Hmm, okay… this isn't so bad. Not when he's looking at me like he wants to devour me.

I reach my arms up and tug my ribbon out of my hair, placing it on the counter with my shirt. His eyes are still riveted to me and for some reason it turns me on and emboldens me.

Slowly I unhook the buttons on my skirt and let the material fall to the floor with a swish. Then I lean over to pick it up and place it on top of the rest of our clothing. All I have left is my white cotton panties with tiny pink hearts on and I look at Natsu before I slide my fingers beneath the sides of fabric. His mouth is hanging open and his eyes are still watching my every move. I start to pull my panties over my hips then inch them down my thighs, turning my body slightly to the side and then letting them fall to the floor.

I watch Natsu gulp as I start to approach him and he leans back when I put a foot in the water. It was stinging hot and it took me a moment to get used to the temperature before I stuck the other foot in. I decide to just get it over with quickly and submerge myself in the water from the chest down, sinking in till I was sitting beside Natsu.

He repositions himself at the narrow end of the tub, farthest from the faucet and I reach over and turn the water off. When I move back over, he snakes his arm around my waist and pulls me back against him, my backside flush over his naked hips beneath the water. My back is pressed against his hard chest and his other arm wraps around my waist as well so that I am completely captured in his embrace. It feels so good that all I can do is sigh and lye back, letting my head fall on to his shoulder.

"This feels great," I moan, closing my eyes and turning my face towards his neck.

I feel his hands start to slowly make tiny circles over my stomach, caressing my skin in smooth strokes. I wiggle against him and moan again. This feels heavenly.

He kisses my forehead and I smile and tilt my head so that I can kiss him back. His mouth is incredibly gentle, coaxing mine open and leisurely stroking my tongue with his. I feel a powerful emotion running through my entire body and momentarily I'm startled by the force of it. Up till now I've sorta been compartmentalizing mine and Natsu's relationship. On one side, he is the closest friend I've ever had. There's no one in this world I trust more than him. I'd gladly give my life for him… twice if I could. And on the other hand is this physical relationship that has blossomed of late. There was no doubt that I found him extremely attractive. Heck, I'd known that since the first moment I met him. But the attraction alone can't account for the lust I feel towards him now. I've never wanted any other man the way I want Natsu and when we are together… physically, it is almost too much to believe. My body becomes alive in a way I've never known it could. I crave his touch, his heat, and his shy yet daring glances. I crave him.

These two parts have become separate things in my head. It's easier to handle what is happening that way. Natsu the best friend and Natsu the sexual partner; completely separate entities in my mind.

But sitting here in such an intimate way, my body completely at ease against his… it somehow cracked through that barrier, splitting it open and letting tiny bits slip through. And what was even more unsettling was… I liked it. I wanted this intimacy.

After a while, one of his hands starts to move, drifting lower down my belly. I moan at the feeling and sink further into him. Slowly his fingers creep, slipping down my skin beneath the water. I feel the tip of one finger ease between the folds of my cleft and brush over my clit. I arch and moan into him, his finger starting a slow rhythm of tiny circles and long strokes over the sensitive nerve.

Every movement of his finger sends tiny sparks throughout my body and I can feel myself getting more and more worked up. I let my lips touch his neck and I kiss him softly, letting my lips linger over the moist skin. My tongue slips out and licks him where my mouth was and Mmm he tastes so good and I love the tiny mewling sounds he's making.

"Natsu?" I whisper, my breath hitching when his finger flicks over my clit in just the right way.

"Hmm?" he answers. His body shifts slightly and suddenly I can feel his arousal against my backside. The feeling is so erotic and I feel my body responding, heat building low in my belly.

"We should take baths together more often," I mumble and gasp when his other hand cups my breast and starts teasing my nipple.

"I agree, but if Gray walks in on us I'll probably kill him."

I laugh and tilt my head back to kiss him. "Don't worry; I'll keep Aquarius on call just in case."

We grow silent after that, our thoughts consumed with the surging sexual needs boiling inside us. Our kisses become increasingly heated and his fingers which were still stroking my clit picked up their pace, making my chest heave faster and faster as I tried to breathe.

My body starts to wiggle uncontrollably over him, matching the rhythm of his fingers and suddenly he grabs both of my legs and spreads them wide, hooking them over his own legs against the side of the tub. His hard member is standing proud and solid against the folds of my cleft and I rub myself over his length.

"Did you bring a condom with you?" I whisper as I reach a hand between my legs and grasp his erection.

"Ah crap!" he roars and then whimpers and grits his teeth when I circle the head of his cock with my thumb. "They're in my pants still."

I look to the side and his pants are still sitting on the counter, neatly folded where I left them. Dang, too far away.

"Here, hold on," he says and then gently pushes me forward in the water and then stands up. He quickly jumps out and grabs his pants, digging through the pockets and then rolling a condom on his hard length before dashing back into the water.

With his hands he guides me back onto his lap and doesn't hesitate to slide inside my opening, fully sheathing himself inside my warmth. I gasp and curl my fingers around the sides of the tub as Natsu places his hands on either side of my hips. We start to move, our bodies grinding against each other. The water is sloshing on either side of us and soon it starts to fall over the sides.

"Natsu!" I gasp as he thrusts deeply inside me again. "We… we gotta… stop. The water."

He pauses momentarily and then stands up, wrapping his arms around me and lifting me with him. I turn in his arms and he presses me against the wall, my back flush with the cool tiles and his hard body in front of me. He hooks one of my legs around his hips and then slides into me with a long, hard thrust and I arch back, my mouth hanging open on a gasp as I cling to his muscular arms.

Oh my God, it feels so good.

I can hardly breathe, my lungs working desperately to gather enough air as he starts a relentless rhythm that's driving my body over the edge.

His cock pushes deep inside me, thrusting in and out… in and out until I start muttering his name over and over again.

"Don't come yet," Natsu demands and I'm so startled by his words that I gasp and open my eyes wide to look at him.

"W-What?" I ask, confused.

He thrusts inside me again and I arch my neck back. "Don't come yet," he repeats and I wanna cry. How am I supposed to stop myself?

The familiar feelings are already tumbling throughout my body, every nerve driving towards that ecstatic moment and I have to fight not to fall over the edge. Suddenly Natsu removes himself from my body, sliding his rigidly hard length out and making me gasp one last time at the feeling.

He kneels down in the water, his hands grasping the inside of my thighs and spreading me wide. The tip of his tongue pokes out and lightly licks over my clit and I scream, reaching my hands down and threading my fingers through his hair. His hot lips wrap around the tiny nub and he starts to gently suck, making my knees go week and I have a hard time keeping myself upright. I'm so close, so very close to the release my body is craving.

"Natsu!" I scream again before begging, "P-Please… can I?"

He doesn't say a word but nods his head, his eyes turning up to look at me. The sight of his head buried between my legs, his sinfully beautiful lust filled eyes staring up at me and the feeling of his mouth sucking on my clit is too much for me and I explode from within, my body convulsing and sparks shooting throughout my body.

An instant later he is standing in front of me again and thankfully he's lifting me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. I didn't think I'd be able to stand up on my own anyway but then he slams into me, a growl erupting from his lips and my body comes back to life.

No… no way. It can't happen again so soon.

He starts pounding into me, his cock thrusting and my chest heaving at the same rhythm. My arms are wrapped around his neck and he has one of his arms holding me in place around my lower back while the other is bracing himself against the tile wall, his forearm lying flat near my head. The feelings are rapidly building again inside my body, my legs tightening and every movement of his hard shaft sends buckets of lava streaming throughout my being.

"Lucy, come for me again," he whispers breathlessly near my ear and his words send me flying over the edge, my fingers digging into the muscles of his shoulders.

"Shit!" he screams and plunges one last time deep inside of me, throwing his head back as he spills himself.

My feminine muscles are still contracting, squeezing him inside my sheath as I slowly come down from my orgasm. His forehead falls against mine and we exchange small kisses between breaths. When he pulls out of me, I wince at the feeling and let me feet fall to the floor.

After several moments I finally manage to say, "Wow!"

His head nods against mine as he answers, "Yea, wow."

When we are finally able to move again we both clean ourselves up and then step out of the bath tub. Natsu grabs a towel and just before he starts to dry himself off I snatch it from him.

"Let me do that," I say and gather the towel in my hands. I start at his chest, rubbing the terry cloth fabric over his sculpted pecs and then down his abdomen. I can't help but place a kiss just beneath his navel and then I drift the towel between his thighs. Thoroughly I dry off his legs, moving the towel up and down all the way to his toes and then slide the fabric back up, taking a path up the inside of his thighs. Tentatively I cup his balls, squeezing them slightly as I rub the moisture from them. I can hear Natsu hiss through his teeth and for a moment I worry that I hurt him but then I see his member coming abruptly to life.

I grasp his shaft, wrapping the towel around him and slowly stroke him. With every movement of my hand he gets harder, thickening and growing in length.

"Fuck, Lucy!" Natsu rasps and I release him.

I finish drying him off, rubbing the towel over his arms and then down his back, lingering over his rear before I hand the towel over to him.

He starts at my shoulders, working his way down my arms and then back up to my chest. He squeezes my breasts, lifting them in his hands and leans down to place a chaste kiss to my mouth. The towel moves down my stomach and then rubs over my cleft. I groan and let my head fall back as he gently rubs over the sensitive area. I'm almost disappointed when he finally removes the towel from between my legs and starts drying off my legs. He makes quick work of them and then moves to my back, placing kisses to every inch of my spine as it's revealed from the towel as it moves down my back. When he gets to my rear he drifts over each orb with the fabric and then shocks me when he places a tiny kiss to each cheek and I gasp when he suddenly lifts me up, one arm under my shoulders and the other beneath my knees and starts to carry me out to the main room, grabbing his pants as we leave.

Silently I thank Levy for her idea, smiling at the sight of the large bed in the center of the room which Natsu promptly drops me on to and then kneels on the side, moving towards me.

I scramble to the far side of the bed with a giggle, suddenly feeling a spurt of energy and playfulness. His eyes widen marginally and then he grins at me.

"Come here, Lucy," he says, a huge smile still plastered to his face as he stalks towards me on his hands and knees. I move to the other side of the headboard as he reaches a hand towards me but he still manages to get a hold of my ankle and yanks me back. He pounces on me then, pinning me down to the mattress with his knees on either side of my legs and his hands on my shoulders.

"Gotcha!"

I laugh and start to struggle to get free, wiggling till one of his hands slipped off my shoulder and I turn quickly on to my stomach. He grabs a hold of me again before I can free myself completely and now he flattens me down, lying with his front on my back, securely holding me in place.

I gulp as I realize what was now resting so intimately against my rear and feel my lower belly starting to clench deliciously. His hands are holding mine down, both of our arms outstretched above our heads on the mattress and he leans down and places a kiss to the nape of my neck. Every muscle in my back tightens and I groan pleasurably. He kisses me again, a little further down my spine and I fist the sheets in my hands. Oh boy, this felt good.

He continues the path, kissing and licking every inch of my spine down to the small of my back and I'm breathing harshly, the crisp white sheets balled up in my hands. He moves back up my body, barely brushing his body over mine and then I feel his arousal prodding between my legs.

I open wider for him, wanting to feel him filling me again but he only teases me with it, rubbing the crown of his erection against my saturated folds.

"You're not trying to get away from me now, are ya'?" Natsu says, stroking his cock over my clit.

"Natsu, please!" I shamelessly beg and lift my hips up slightly into the air. He sits back, kneeling between my spread legs and runs the hand that wasn't grasping his erection over my backside.

"You're ready for me already," he says, a hint of awe in his voice and he reaches across the bed for his pants. I can hear him ripping a foil packet open and a few seconds later he's back between my legs, the head of his arousal pressing against my opening and his arm slipping around my waist, pulling my backside higher up in the air and I have to brace myself with my forearms. His hand then moves down and his finger flicks over my clit.

I arch my body throwing my head back, my hair whipping around and out of my face. He starts teasing me again with the head of his cock, circling my opening while he leans forward and whispers beside my ear. "Now?"

I nod and groan, anticipation making my blood boil. He presses slightly into my opening, the head of his erection barely pushing through before he pulls out.

"Are you sure?" he asks and this time I whimper when I reply.

"Yes, please… do it!"

He slams into me, wringing a loud gasp from my mouth as he fully sheathes himself in one long, hard thrust. It's so deep this way, so incredibly deep and my body is quivering, tiny beads of sweat forming on my skin. Slowly he inches back, groaning as he does and pushing back fully inside.

"You feel so good," he says, his hips picking up pace.

I still can't believe how it feels, his member hitting a place deep inside me that is almost painful it's so pleasurable. My hands fist in the sheets and he starts to grind against me, circling his hips slightly with every thrust and causing me to cry out every time he slams into that spot.

My body is shuddering uncontrollably, my arms weakening as they try to prop me up and then I climax, shouting his name and collapsing forward on to the mattress. Natsu's arm wraps back around my waist and he lifts me up, bringing my back against his front and his other arm cups my left breast. His mouth clamps down on my shoulder and suddenly he's thrusting up inside me, my bottom bouncing off his legs as he starts pounding into me.

"Oh God!" I mumble incoherently, lost in what he was doing to me. It felt so good. I was his, completely; like putty in his arms.

He starts mumbling my name with every thrust, his voice hoarse till suddenly I explode again, my body shattering into a thousand tiny pieces and he's with me, spilling himself inside me as his grip around my body tightened.

His arms were like vices, holding me against him as we both let our bodies calm. I rolled my head to the side, letting it rest over his which was snuggled against my neck and shoulder.

Eventually I take a deep breath and say, "I wanna lie down."

He releases his hold on me and helps me crawl beneath the covers, joining me and spooning himself around me.

"Remind me to thank Levy," he says, nuzzling the back of my neck.

"Yea, remind me too," I answer and we both drift off to sleep.
