Lucy awoke to the lingering smell of blood and sex. She cringed and tried to move to cover her nose but felt two arms wrap tighter around her. Glancing behind her at the sleeping boy behind her, Lucy smiled slightly. Wiggling around some to find a comfier position in his strong arms, Lucy felt immediate pain shoot through her when she moved her thighs. Her core felt sore and bruised up from Natsu's rough treatment and, now that she thought about it, her entire body ached and screamed from the lack of adrenaline pumping through her and the bruises from not only the sex they had but from the entire past twenty four hours.
Discovering her father's body, if the torn remains could even be called a body anymore, in the kitchen of their home and then immediately discovering Natsu's true nature and then being pounded into his mattress in a moment of weakness and pure desire, Lucy took a deep breath to settle her sudden impulse to unload her stomach from it all.
She needed to shower. Lucy decided to focus on something that she could physically change, fix. Getting physically clean might help her gain some control in this insane situation she found herself in.
First, she would need to escape from Natsu's inhuman grasp on her waist. His powerful arms seemed to have a mind of their own as Lucy attempted to unwrap herself to make her way back to the shower she failed to have last night before Natsu stole her away.
But finally, after a few attempts, Lucy managed to wiggle herself out and under his arms. Sitting up and stretching her stiff body, Lucy finally took in the damage. Her hips were showing some bruising from where Natsu's large hands had gripped her and her vagina felt sore and tender to say the very least. It had been almost overwhelming how much he had made her feel last night but the morning after was proving to be painful.
But it's when she finds the remains of caked on blood underneath her nails that Lucy finally gets up. Her legs shake but her desire to shower pulls her to the bathroom. Once there, she immediately turns on the tap and adjusts the temperature to a soothing warmth. Seeing the clothes from last night that Natsu had chosen for her still sitting there next to the sink still, Lucy opens the shower curtain and slowly enters the spray of warm water. Sighing in relief at the relaxing sensation, Lucy runs her hands through her hair and untangles it from the blood and knots and such. Her pains and scars from the past twenty four hours seem to run down the drain along with the pinking water.
Grabbing the loan bar of soap and seeing no lufa or even shampoo, Lucy decides it's better than nothing as she begins to lather the bar over her body and the roots of her hair. Massaging her fingers over her skin, Lucy tenderly works out the pains and bruises that cover her skin.
She suddenly feels very fragile, powerless.
It's in this moment that she reaches down to her core and feels the folds between her thighs. Her fingers, much softer and gentle than Natsu's ever were last night, Lucy finds herself gasping. The contrast makes her tighten her thighs and reach for her breast, tweaking her nipple and biting her lip at the sensations. As she begins to pleasure herself, Lucy misses the faint clicking of the bathroom door opening and closing.
It isn't until the shower curtain is abruptly torn open that Lucy realizes she isn't alone anymore. Letting out a scream and immediately pulling her finger from her pussy and covering herself, the blonde turns to see Natsu standing there in all his naked glory.
He lets go of the curtain as he enters the shower along with her, pulling it closed as he gets in. She doesn't question his actions as he reaches behind her and grabs the bar of soap. Gently, he nudges her to turn around and show her back to him. Lucy gulps and turns, not completely prepared for anything he may do to her.
It's when she feels the gentle rubbing of the bar of soap along her back that she lets out a bated breath of relief. Natsu starts from her shoulders and slowly makes his way down her body, washing her skin and the dirt from her. If he notices her bruises and scrapes, he makes no mention of them as he reaches the hollow of her back and her bum. He doesn't shy away from any inch of her skin as his hand rubs her bum and her core, his fingers massaging out the pains from last night's activities.
Lucy feels herself being lulled into a sense of safety and serenity. Natsu confuses her. One moment he has her body in his hands wracking her with absolute orgasmic pleasure and the next, he's treating her like she is the most precious and delicate creature he has ever laid eyes on. It overwhelms her.
Natsu leans in, pressing his chest to her back as he brings his lips to the rim of her ear to whisper, "Lucy, I'm sorry."
Her eyes widen at the confession, slowly turning around to face him. His arms drop, the bar of soap still in his hand as she covers herself. He notices but his eyes remain on hers instead of taking in her naked body like he wants to.
"Natsu…"
The pink-haired man grimaces at that before continuing to explain himself, "Your father and then last night…I….."
Lucy finds herself smiling at this new bashful Natsu, a glimpse at the boy she knew before all this had happened. This was the Natsu that had her rushing to the park each and every night. The monster was nowhere in sight. She reaches up and cups his face in her hands, effectively pausing his confession, "Natsu, this may sound crazy but in a way, you saved me…so I thank you for that."
Natsu shows his surprise clearly across his face. Gently, he nudges his face into one of her hands, leaning into her touch, "I don't know how I deserve you, Luce…"
"What?" Lucy breathily lets out.
"I kill your father and hurt you last night and yet here you are thanking me," His eyebrows furrow, "I don't deserve your gratitude."
Lucy is somewhat shocked by how much self-loathing she can sense from his words. There was more to this than he was saying and for that, she decides she needed to prove her thankfulness. With no warning, she leans up onto her toes and kisses his lips, still holding onto his face.
He doesn't respond at first but once he realizes she's serious, the bar of soap drops to the ground and his hands are on her, pulling her to him. The feel of their naked and wet skin does something to them as Natsu moans against her lips, tasting her once more.
This time feels so much sweeter, tender. His hands aren't gripping and controlling this time but rather, warm and soothing. Natsu gradually makes his way down her arms and to the swell of her hips, rubbing tender circles on her skin with his thumbs, "Lucy," he moans.
Lucy feels her legs grow weak at the love and awe she feels coming from his lips as he licks them and tilts his head to deepen the kiss. Before long, his hands make their way up to her breasts and massage them, tweaking her hardening nipples to get more of the gentle gasps out of her that Natsu craves more and more.
It's not until he nudges her towards the tiled wall of the shower that she feels his hard dick rub up against her the inside of her thigh. Immediate pleasure pools down between her legs as she instinctively bucked her hips in a lame attempt at release.
Natsu moaned at the feel of her thighs rubbing his cock, stepping closer and effectively pushing her up against the wall, "Lucy."
She felt his hands grab her hips again, softly pulling her up. Lucy reacted by wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling herself up. Her legs naturally found themselves around his waist, holding herself up as his chest pressed in on her to hold her up against the wall. Moaning his name, Lucy felt his mouth leave hers finally and his tongue glide along her jaw. As he kissed his way down her neck, Lucy vaguely remembered their first kiss last night.
Eventually Natsu's hips begin bucking against hers, gradually building up the pressure already present between the two of them. Lucy feels herself coming undone and her growing desire to have him inside her finally has her telling him so, "Natsu…"
He grunts in response.
"I need you…"
His dick is dangerously close to her, rubbing and rubbing as his hips thrust against hers.
"…inside me."
He almost loses his load right then and there at the sound of her breathy commands. Natsu lets out a groan as he stops his movements and grabs his dick, lining himself up with her opening, "Lucy," once again he finds her eyes, asking for permission just as he did last night.
She smiles lovingly and presses her lips to his as he slowly slides himself inside of her. Her wet walls do unfathomable things to his sanity as she takes him all in. The kiss they share during all of this builds a pressure in his chest that he had never felt before. Natsu wants to show her a tenderness he hadn't thought himself capable of.
Once he was full sheathed inside of her, he allows her time to adjust this time. As opposed to him simply buckling under his own desires, he wants to prove to not only Lucy but to himself as well that he can wait. He can do this for her.
Lucy is aware of the amount of control Natsu is showing her. As her heart bursts with what could easily be called love, she moves her hips as a sign to him that she was more than ready for him to move.
Natsu wastes no time in sliding himself out again before pushing back in. This slow pace continues until neither of them can handle as Lucy whispers in his ear, "Natsu, please…I need you."
The pink-haired boy loses it and finally picks up the pace, slamming into her hips and pushing her into the tiled wall. As their slick and wet bodies slap against each other, their heavy breathing and moaning filling the room, Natsu eventually feels the pressure building up as he finally unloads once more into her. He slumps up against her as he rides his orgasm to its completion.
Feeling completely satisfied, Natsu goes to stand but suddenly feels Lucy attempt to ride his now soft dick. Seeing her red cheeks, he realizes that she hasn't come yet. Guilt weighs him as he remembers last night and again it hits him how terrible he has treated his Lucy.
Sliding out of her, he ignores Lucy's brief look of sadness as he kneels before her. Her disappointment at not being satisfied once again leaves her as she becomes confused as Natsu kneels down before her, staring her down with such intensity her legs almost give out.
"Let me take care of you, Luce," his voice is barely a whisper as he dips his head down and licks up her sensitive folds.
Lucy's head snaps back at the moist contact of his tongue and cannot hold back the gasps and moans as he licks her clean, eating her out and sending her to her completion. His fingers eventually join his tongue and she rides his face until she feels herself tightening up and coming.
Her legs start giving out but before she crashes down, Natsu's arms capture her as he kisses her brutally on the lips. Her arms are around his neck once more and a stab of pleasure hits her when she tastes herself on his lips.
Letting go of her lips, Natsu looks down at the girl in his arms and he feels an overwhelming feeling hit his chest. Did he love this girl? He was sure he could, if he didn't already. She was too good for him and yet thought herself undeserving of any kind of love.
Despite being some of the cause of her hurt, Natsu swore to himself that he would protect this girl with his life. She was his from here on out, whether she liked it or not.
Lucy simply felt at peace in that moment, wrapped in Natsu's strong arms and feeling his naked torso smashed up against her breasts. It was all so much to take in as she felt her head lull forward onto his shoulder, sleepy and content.
Natsu almost smiled, watching her struggle to stay awake, "Let's get you to bed."
Lucy nodded and closed her eyes as she heard the shower head finally turn off and felt Natsu's arms reach under her legs to lift her up and carry her to his mattress.
"Sleep, Lucy," Natsu whispered as he tucked her in as best he could.
A part of her wanted to stay awake and finally talk about the past twenty four hours. She still had so many questions about who this man was truly but her fatigue would not allow her as Lucy finally allowed herself to succumb to the sleep she so desperately needed.
A/N: Heeeey, long time no chapter update! This was a long time coming and I apologize for its lateness. I also want to point out that I went back and edited through the first three chapters. Nothing changed but I did change up chapter three somewhat. I realized I was making out Natsu to be this nice guy when I really wanted to expand on his monster self. So go back and reread if you so desire!
Also, let me know how this chapter turned out! It was almost cathartic writing this in response to the previous chapter three lemon...lol so please, criticize away!
