Chapter 3
The next morning Lucy woke up to sunlight streaming through the crack in the curtains and birds chirping merrily to each other. She groaned and rolled away from the light. She was having such a wonderful dream. She was sleeping in her bed when a man snuck into her room through the balcony doors. He silently walked over to where she laid and slid under the covers next to her. He slowly wrapped his arms around her waist and gently turned her to face him. He held her close with one arm under her head and the other around her waist. Her dream self snuggled closer to the warmth and sighed. The man holding her kissed her on the forehead and squeezed her close. She didn't know who the man was but she felt so safe in his arms. That was her dream, a hot, muscular man holding her all night. Well she assumed he was hot. He smelled good on top of that as well. She might as well get up and get ready to go. She hopped out of bed and went to open the curtains and found that her balcony door was cracked opened. Hmm I don't remember leaving that opened. Then she thought of her dream and she blushed furiously. Was that only a dream? She closed the door and locked it. She didn't want Natsu sneaking in again. She hopped in the shower really fast and just as she was finishing up someone knocked on her door. "Coming!" She ran to the door and opened it. Laxus was standing there, fully dressed, with his bag and the bag of supplies hanging off his shoulder. "You ready Blondie?"
"Yes, just let me grab my bag." She ran back inside, got her things and stepped out. She locked the door and turned to Laxus. "Where's Natsu?" she asked when she didn't see him. "He's still getting ready. He told us to go ahead and head out he'll catch up to us" Laxus said as he turned toward the elevator. Hmm that's weird he's usually the first to be done. After they left the hotel they went to meet up with the client, who turns out to be a farmer, to get more details about the mission. They both approached the door to the farm house and just as Lucy is about to knock, the door suddenly swings open. She squealed and Laxus tensed up and out of reflex pulled Lucy behind him. "I'm sorry if I have startled you." An elderly woman stepped out onto the porch. It was so dark in the house they couldn't see her in the doorway. Laxus immediately covered his nose from the over powering smell of perfume permeating off her and from the house. "I saw you walking up so I thought I would meet you but these legs are not what they used to be" she said as she patted her thighs. Lucy sighed with relief and touched Laxus on the arm as a thank you for shielding her and said "Oh it's alright. We're mages from Fairytail. We are here about your request that you sent."
"Ah yes. That would be my husband who sent it but since he has been injured recently I'll be the one talking to you. Come, please, sit." She gestured to some cushioned benches on the porch. They got comfortable and Lucy asked "How did your husband get injured? Is he alright?"
"Well no, the illness has taken over him currently. I don't think he will make it. You see a werewolf attacked him."
"Oh no!" gasped Lucy as both Laxus and her looked shocked. "Yes it's very tragic" said the old lady while holding on cheek and shaking her head. "How do you want us to deal with them?" asked Laxus. "Well all I know is that they live in the forest and come to attack us when we are out in the fields. One of my neighbors seen them coming out on the west side of the forest somewhere near the waterfall."
"Hmm…alright we'll head in that direction" said Laxus as he stood up and walked off the porch. "Thank you for the information. I hope your husband gets better" said Lucy as she stood up and smiled at the elderly woman. "Oh no, thank you young lady and please do be careful out there." Lucy turned and ran after Laxus. "Hey, why were you so rude?" asked Lucy when she finally caught up to him. "She reeked of perfume. It was all over her and it was also coming from her house. My nose was killing me."
"Oh…" Lucy forgot that the dragon-slayers had sensitive noses and she felt bad that she yelled at him when he had to sit there in pain. "I'm sorry that I yelled at you" Lucy said. "It's ok." They both fell silent after that. After awhile Laxus glanced over at Lucy and asked "How did you sleep?" He noticed the growing blush on her cheeks. When Laxus asked her that she couldn't help the blush that crept up. She still remembered the dream so vividly. "G-Good" she stuttered. "So did I" he quietly said, in a husky voice, with a smile on his face. She looked at him when he said that. He looked at her as she turned and she saw a gleam in his eye. Is there something he's not telling me? Just as they reached the edge of the woods they heard someone shouting out to them.
"Hey!" They both turned and saw Natsu running at them at full speed. "Why didn't you guys wait for me?" Natsu asked in a huff. "Laxus said you told us to go ahead" Lucy said as she slowly turned to Laxus with an angry look on her face. "No, I overslept because I had this amazing dream."
"So you lied to me?" Lucy yelled at Laxus, shaking her finger at him. Her earlier sympathy gone out the window. "If we waited for flame-brain we would have waited all day" Laxus said indignantly. "Let's go before we're even more late." Laxus turned and stomped off. "I'm sorry Natsu" said Lucy as she placed a hand on his arm. "It's ok Luce. You didn't know" Natsu said as he placed a hand over hers. She smiled and they both started after Laxus and eventually caught up with him. They headed off in the direction the elderly woman told them the waterfall was. Thirty minutes of walking and they still have yet to see the waterfall.
"Wow this forest must be huge if we still haven't found the waterfall…unless we're lost" said Lucy. "We're not lost. You have two dragon-slayers with amazing sense of smell and hearing" said Natsu. "Oh that's right" Lucy mumbled. After awhile Laxus said "we're getting close." Lucy perked up at that. She could barely make out the sound of water flowing. "Finally" she groaned out. Wait why am I getting excited? When we get there we'll have to fight the werewolves! The farther they walked the louder the water became. They found a clearing and she noticed a trail heading off in the direction of, she assumes, the waterfall. "We'll set up camp here. Stay here while I go scout around" said Laxus. Lucy put her backpack down and let out a big sigh of relief. She saw Laxus walk off into the woods and disappear. Natsu was laying out his bedroll and then he started to walk off as well. "Hey where are you going?" she asked him. "I'm going to go get some firewood. Wanna come with me?"
"No, I think I want to go check out the waterfall. Maybe go take a bath."
"Ok" said Natsu as he walked away. Lucy grabbed her bad and headed off toward the waterfall. When she got there she stopped dead in her tracks. It was the most breathtaking and beautiful sight. She giggled in delight and briskly put her bag next to the bank and quickly took her clothes off and dipped her toe in the water to test. Her eyes grew wide with surprise when she did. "What? The water is warm. Strange…Oh well" she shrugged and walked into the warm crystal clear water. She sighed deeply as she sat down and stretched her arms behind her. Ah this is the life. I could get used to this. Just as she was starting to relax she heard a noise in the bushes. "Hello? Is someone there? Better not be a peeping tom" she mumbled the last part. She heard the noise again and Laxus walked out, staring at her. She immediately covered her chest, because you can see straight through the water, and turned her back to him. "Laxus! What are you doing? I thought you were scouting around?"
She heard him rustling around behind her and then she heard him get into the water. She quickly turned her head around to see what he was doing and saw that he was completely naked and heading toward her like a predator stalking its prey. "Laxus! Wait! Wha-what are you doing?" she started to back up away from him but he kept his pace and continued toward her. She held out one hand to stop him from coming any closer and with the other she still managed to cover her breasts. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his chest and held her close. He had one hand around her waist the other around her shoulders. She didn't know what to do, the way he was holding her felt so familiar though. I don't know what to do! My chest is pressing into his and he's so strong I won't be able to get out of his arms. Ah! I feel something pressing into my stomach! She looked up at him and was taken aback at how sexy he looked. He was looking at her like he wanted to eat her up.
Man I can't her out of my head. When he went out to scout around he heard noises coming from the waterfall so he crept up and saw the blonde. She started to take off her clothes and dipped into the water. He immediately got a hard on gazing at her beautiful naked body. When she moaned he almost blew his top. He shifted his position and a twig snapped under his foot and he saw she immediately tensed up. "Hello? Is someone there? Better not be a peeping tom" he heard her say. He laughed at the mumbled comment, for he was peeping on her. So he decided to join her. He stepped out of the bushes. He smirked when she blushed, covered herself and turned away from him. "Laxus! What are you doing? I thought you were scouting around?" He ignored her question and started taking off his clothes and stepped into the water just as she did. He paused as he got in, no wonder she moaned, the water feels amazingly warm and relaxing. He mischievously grinned at her and started for her. "Laxus! Wait! Wha-what are you doing?" He heard her heart beat quicken and slowly stepping away from him and he went into predator mode. Just seeing her naked in front of him was driving him wild. When she put her hand out to stop him he grabbed her and he wanted to suck each of those beautiful little fingers of hers but instead he pulled her into him and held her close. Man she felt amazing in his arms, she was so tiny and frail. She melded perfectly against his body; it was like they were made for each other. When she looked up at him with those big, brown, beautiful eyes he lost it.
Lucy saw the change in his eyes. His eyes glazed over and he whispered her name right before he lowered his head to kiss her. The moment their lips touch they both felt electricity spark between them. She loved the way he kissed her so gently like she was a delicate flower but when she moaned he groaned and pulled her closer and he passionately ravished her mouth. Oh my god! Where did he learn how to kiss like that? If he keeps this up I'll lose all my senses. She wrapped her arms around his neck smashing her breasts even more into his chest and kissed him back just as hard. His hands started to roam over her body; up and down her back, over her legs, when they wrapped themselves around his waist, and then eventually over her round, juicy ass cheeks. He squeezed, massaged and stretched them apart over and over until her moans grew wild. He licked her bottom lip trying to get access into her mouth and she gasped and he quickly took advantage with his tongue exploring her mouth. Their tongues battle for dominance but Laxus won in the end.
She explored his body as well; running her hands over his shoulders, down his muscular arms, and across his rock hard abs. Her nipples grew hard the moment he grabbed her breast and started massaging one of them. She threw her head back and moaned and in the process she thrust her hips. He groaned when her wet slick pussy slide over his rock hard cock. "Lucy if you do that I'll have to fuck you right here and now" he huskily said. Lucy looked at him with hooded glazed eyes and trying to catch her breath.
Just then they heard Natsu close by calling Lucy's name. They immediately broke apart with Lucy quickly running, as best she could in the water, toward her bag and Laxus just chilling in the water watching. Natsu came into sight and stopped when he saw Laxus. "Laxus what are you doing? I thought you were scouting around?" said Natsu as he looked from Lucy to Laxus. "Don't look at me while I'm changing! Both of you!" Lucy shouted at them. Natsu turned around but continued to glare at Laxus while Laxus just chuckled at Lucy and then started to glare right back at Natsu. Oh man. What just happened? I almost did it with Laxus but man can he kiss and when touched my body like that…Sigh. What is happening here? "I'm going to bed" she said when she was finally dressed and started to walk to the camp site. "Me too" said Natsu.
"Lucy…would you like for me to tuck you in?" said Laxus huskily. Lucy blushed and replied with a no. As she was starting to fall asleep she realized Laxus didn't call her Blondie but called her by her name.
