~ Lucy ~

That grin of his...I had noticed how sexy Natsu had the potential to be. Even with that unusual shade of bubblegum hair he was constantly being check out by the women around us, all ages all sizes and by the looks in their eyes most had definitely liked what they had seen. Back in the day it annoyed I remember wondering why it annoyed me so damn much. Come to find out it was jealousy, as I had stupidly fallen in love with my best friend. Then I had started to notice him as well, how when he was in those happy moods he was as cute as a child but when you got Natsu angry he was nothing less then hot. Gorgeous even. But this cat ate the canary grin hes giving me now is potent enough to melt panties. I am in so over my head.

The sound of sliding fabric distracts me and my gaze drops back to his lap, following his hand movements as he undoes the cord holding his pants up. My mouth drops open when the fabric parts, an unsuppressible giggle surging up my throat and escaping my parted lips. Natsus eyes snap to my face, eyebrows puckered in annoyance.

"...Luce...why are you laughing?" Oh god I made him mad. Shit. Its just...I never expected this! Its hard but I finally cut off the giggles, swallowing them back before taking a calming gulp of air.

"I'm sorry Natsu! Its just...I...I never believed it was natural!"

"Huh?"

"Oh god." My head drops and I cover my face with my hands, shame and amusement turning my cheeks pink. "This is embarrassing. Your hair Natsu. I never believed you, but now..." Comprehension dawns on his face and the harsh annoyance morphs into a smile before he bursts out laughing.

"Your such a weirdo Luce." I freeze at the words as they echo through my head, seeping into those painful cracks in my heart with a painful burst of heat. It had been so long since I head him say that, something that before I left was an everyday observation. I knew that this harsher Natsu was still the man I loved, but to have him laugh and say exactly what I needed to hear felt so good it hurt. With a cry I slam myself into his chest, a sob bubbling up in my chest as those previously suppressed feelings and the years worth of depression and loneliness without him flood me. Natsu seems to understand that I'm near the breaking point because with infinite tenderness one clawed hand tilts my chin up so that our lips can meet in a sweet kiss. It helps.

We stay that way for a while as I grapple with my emotions, slowly shutting down the oncoming sob vest. One of his large hands traces my skin, moving in possessive strokes over my arms, sides, hips and beyond like he has every right to touch them. I suppose he does. The fire is still in his eyes when I pull away from his mouth, but its now accompanied by tenderness. He searches my face for something for a moment before smiling in satisfaction. I'm assuming he was trying to determine if I had calmed down now. Leaning forward again I taste that smile, tongue tracing his lower lip before nipping at it softly. Growling he closes the last bit of space between us and this kiss is so different from the sweetness of before I am a bit taken aback by the quick shift. Fire races back through my blood, the nearly forgotten heat now a demanding coil low in my stomach. I don't know how he can swift gears so fast then drag me along with him, but I also cant find myself to care at the moment so I follow blindly, eagerness helping overshadow the inexperienced awkwardness I display.

Shifting back I again lower my gaze, happy that the curly pink hair doesn't cause me to laugh again. I really didn't mean to in the first place, but no way could I argue that pink hair cannot be natural. No one dyes their pubic hair. Swallowing thickly I take in his size, something id missed when id seen his hair, fear mixing into the anticipation swirling in my body. Id been pleasuring myself for years but I have never actually been with a man, let alone one of Natsus size. Ive just never wanted to go that far with any of the men Ive dated. Maybe Ive just always been waiting for him. Tentatively I reach out to stroke him with a finger, pleasantly surprised to feel that even though his size is daunting the skin is smooth as velvet and hot to the touch. Not unpleasantly hot, just above average Natsu skin temperature.

His warmth has always drawn me, I guess you could blame it on us being mates as well. Either by fate or by accident, I wanted to drown in his heat. Tracing him with my fingers my breath catches at the idea of all this smooth heat inside me. Fear again thrums through me with a heavy dose of anticipation. Natsu wouldn't hurt me. Peeking up I check his expression, unsure how to proceed. Catching on quick one of his hands moves to lace his fingers through mine, guiding me to wrap around the thick rod and move in a slow stroke. His guttural groan delights me and I grin, repeating the motion until my movements are no longer hesitant but smooth and sure. His hand falls away to fist against one leg, eyes sliding shut in what I perceive to be bliss. Sexy. Abandoning his face I drop to watch my hand moved, stomach tightening in a way that surprises me and causes my hand to jerk in a sign of nervous need.

"Lucy look at me." Following the order I again look up at his face, eyes widening at the dark hunger shadowing his face. I'm mesmerized by his eyes, darkened another impossible degree of onyx and oh so captivating.

~ Natsu ~

I don't think she even knows she whimpered. Those gorgeous liquid chocolate eyes are wide and shining with both lust and innocence, prettier then id ever fucking seen them. She looks so damn needy, a bit nervous but that made her need all the better. A need my dragon is screaming at me to fill. Her hand has stopped moving, but I probably cant take much more anyway so I'm not going to complain about it. Better things to do anyway, like taste her and drive her wild until that nervousness turns to demand for more. Just as I reach for her, intent on removing those tattered jeans, a sound breaks through my haze. Footsteps. Still a half mile or so out, but steadily headed in our direction. My wings snap in irritation, a curse falling from my lips and I see confusing bleed into that lust in her eyes.

"Natsu?" The nervous vulnerability in her voice breaks through the irritation, one of my hands wrapping around her wrist to yank her into my arms as I stand, the other wrapping her waist to keep her against me.

"Company is coming. Hold on." I know she will try and question me so I dont give her the time, my newly grown wings opening fully in a rather impressive display if I do say so myself. Beating them forcefully I take only a moment to mentally prepare before shoving off the ground, dirt and leaves flying into the air from the backlash. My powerful leap launches us into the air and a few test beats of my wings keeps us there. Huh. Comes pretty naturally actually, this flying thing. Pushing harder I propel us past the treetops, free arm moving to block any branches from hitting Lucy who has by now looped her arms around my neck with an adorable startled squeak. Now where to go? Hovering there I take a minute to think, scouring my memory of this area from years ago when Igneel and I had trained for a few months in these mountains. Oh yeah, Im a dragon. Duh. Where else but a cave does a dragon take his mate?
