"Natsu~, Natsu~. Wakey, wakey~."

Natsu groaned softly as a weight settle down on his stomach and a pair of hands roamed his scarred chest. He opened his eyes and his blurred vision quickly focused on a beautiful blonde atop of him. "I'm surprised you're up before me."

"I woke up not long ago due to having a wet dream." Lucy grinned playfully; her skin lightly tinted a needy pink. "But even though I want to ride you, I'm feeling really hungry… I must have expended more energy than I thought during the hunt."

"We're still recovering from our last mission, Lucy." Natsu placed a hand on her stomach and gently pushed her back along his body until she was sat on his upper thighs, allowing him to sit up and give her a tender peck on the lips. "Our mutations and enhancements put a heavy toll on our body. That's why we are generally on a short break or put on easier jobs after each taxing mission. But since we were all called in for the assault, I think everyone is feeling the strain. Not to mention we had only just come back from that Galuna Island mission and didn't have much time to recover, so we're extra worn out. Though that doesn't seem to have had any effect on your sex drive."

"I blame you for that, Sir~. You stuck it in me and awakened something inside me, now I crave that amazing feeling."

"Luce, stop calling me Sir."

"Ok sure." Lucy pressed her breasts firmly against the man's chest as she wrapped her hands around his shaft and began to stroke it. "I guess I'll just have to call you Master~ instead." She moaned breathily into his ear and grinned as he almost instantly stiffened completely between her hands. "You like being called Master, don't you~?"

"Well, if you plan on doing that, I'm going to make you dress up like Genevieve and make you into my personal maid."

Lucy giggled and kissed the man lightly. "Maybe I'll just have to become your permanent live-in maid, I mean, I was staying over just while I looked for a new place but if you're ok with me being a permanent resident at your house?"

"Of course, I am fine with it. It was kinda my intention with telling you to bring your stuff to my house after the altercation with the landlord."

"Ugh, that reminds me… I still need to sort that out. We were sent to Phantom Lord's HQ the night after I moved in, I didn't get a chance to switch gears and properly settle into your house… Mentally and physically." Lucy sighed and turned on the man's lap, sitting side-on and pulling his arms around her. "I think I'll call them on the way home, tell them what happened and that I want to nullify the contract because of it. Great… now I'm really not in the mood for sex…" She muttered grumpily and gazed down at the cock poking up between her thighs. "And it's right there, ready to be put inside me…"

"I doubt that'll last long; you'll be back in the mood in a few minutes."

"Hehe, yeah, you're right. Come, let's go have a shower." The blonde smiled brightly and crawled across the bed. When she was at the foot of the bed, she glanced back and wiggled her ass at the man. "Come on~."

"On what?" Natsu chuckled softly and followed the woman into the ensuite.

"Mm, I'm feeling like I need a facial, and I mean the fun kind~ but I am feeling hungry, so maybe I'd just swallow like I normally do." Lucy grabbed Natsu's hand and pulled him into the shower. She pressed her back to the cold wall and yelped quietly. "Oh, that's cold!"

After he turned the shower on, Natsu grabbed Lucy's hips and gently turned her around, earning another soft yelp as her breasts pressed against the cold tiles. He met the woman's gaze as she glanced back over her shoulder with a cute playfully innocent look in her big brown eyes, something that contrasted her not-so-innocent body as she began to grind against his stiff erection. He didn't have an issue with it, but he had other intentions; he slid his hands up from her hips and to the small of her back, lightly pushing and turning his thumbs and palms against the muscles.

Lucy let out a shaky moan and stilled her ministrations, keeping her snatch pressed against the hot long hot shaft as the man worked on her back. "I-I didn't realise how tight and saw my back is…" There was a light tug on her long blonde hair as Natsu collected it up and hung it down the left side of her neck, freeing up her back for his hands to move across. "You should give me massages more often."

"I do, they just usually are on pleasurable areas. Like here." He slipped one of his hands between her and the wall and squeezed one of her breasts, earning a sharp moan from the busty blonde who decided to get back at him by grinding her slit up and down his cock and coating it with her juices.

"And you like to massage my insides with that massive cock of yours." A lewd giggle slipped out between Lucy's moans. "Let me lay down, Natsu. This shower is big enough for that." Once she felt the absence of his hands and shaft, she turned and placed a kiss on his lips and laid down on the tiled floor, her legs spread just enough for him to toy with her if he chose to. It wasn't all that comfortable, but that thought was quickly pushed from her mind when Natsu straddled her thighs and got back to work on her back, this time able to get much deeper with less effort. "Oh~ that is so much better!"

"Even though you usually do stretches before bed, and I always get you to do stretches at work during training so you stay nice and flexible, you have large tits and they put a strain on your back."

"Maybe we should add this to our foreplay?" Lucy glanced over her shoulder. Her idea was a genuine suggestion. "I mean, we both touch, rub, and squeeze each other a lot anyway and this does feel really good." She pushed herself up a little and looked back down between her legs with a slightly perverse grin. "And it also means if we do it this way, you could put it inside me while you give me a massage."

"I donno, I'm kinda looking forward to seeing you in that maid outfit."

"Oh my, Natsu~. You wouldn't happen to be into cosplay girls, would you?" The blonde giggled and pushed herself up a little more as she reached back and hooked an arm around his neck. Lucy pulled the man into a deep kiss and after close to a minute, she pulled back slightly and nibbled down his jaw. "I think I like that idea. You might just be lucky enough to have me dress up as anything you desire~, I do know Transformation Magic after all~."

Natsu slipped out from under her arm and pinned her to the floor, her wrists clamped together above her head by his left hand. He leaned down slowly until his lips were right by her right ear and he nibbled on the top lightly with his sharp fangs. "What an enticing idea you have there, but I think you need proof to back up your claim. Why don't you be my pet succubus and I'll reward you."

"I haven't tried anything like this before, so I don't know if it would work." Lucy murmured and closed her eyes. In her mind she pictured a succubus she had seen on a show recently and channelled her magic to give her the same features. Her ears elongated to pointed tips like an exquisite elven woman as small black ram-like horns that resembled those of the Celestial Spirit Aries grew from the sides of her head near her temples. As the man sat up on her thighs, a pair of dark-purple wings sprouted from her upper-middle back near her shoulder blades and fluttered gently – extending out past her armlength then folding against her back – while a long dark-purple tail with a heart-shaped tip extended from her tailbone and wiggled about in front of his face. "It feels like it worked?"

"I'm painfully hard right now."

"Is it that convincing?" Lucy opened her eyes and wiggled her hands. Once she was let go, she extracted herself from underneath the man and turned around, sitting on her knees and facing the demon. "Maybe I could be your sexy succubus servant?" She asked bashfully, looking down to the side and flicking her eyes up and down as her wings and tail fluttered and twitched behind her.

"Fucking hell, you are hot…"

Lucy giggled and traced her finger along the ember markings covering Natsu's arms. "Do succubus have markings? I know some have a tattoo over their womb but I don't want that, I'd want something like your demonic markings…"

"I think what you've done is more than enough." Natsu leaned forward and slowly ran his hands across her body, starting at her thighs and slowly moving up her stomach, over her breasts then around her neck until he reached her cheeks where he lightly ran his thumbs across her impeccably smooth skin. "Your skin is too soft and beautiful to cover up with markings. I'd prefer you to wear some sexy underwear instead; like a black lace bra and panties, some thigh-high stockings held up by a lacy garter belt, maybe even long stocking-like gloves. If I could even get any harder, I would be just from thinking about it."

Lucy smiled brightly which exposed her cute little fangs as her heart raced and her cheeks flushed. She glanced down at the man's throbbing cock and shyly prodded its head with the tip of her index finger. She leaned in closely and turned her head so she didn't accidentally poke his eye out as she whispered into his ear. "I think I'll make this my go-to form when it's just you and me. Whether we are at home or out on a job together. I think I'm in love with the idea of being the little pet succubus of this big bad demon. Hehe, I don't know why, it just makes me all giddy inside. Can I bite you? You bite me all the time, and I love it, so I want to bite you."

"I'll be honest, if you walked around like that daily, I don't think I'd ever be able to get it down." Natsu chuckled softly and tilted his head, letting her at his neck. He gave the wall a gentle smile as he felt four small fangs dig into the muscle at the base of his neck. "I hope you weren't expecting the reaction you give me when bitten?"

"Somewhat. And I've just found out that it's less exciting being the one doing the biting than being bitten." Lucy rubbed her thighs together as she gave him a warm smile and looked over her shoulder at the new additions to her body. "You know, I think I agree with you. I don't mind being like this, but I might put the wings away depending on what I wear." When she turned back to the man, she reached up and prodded her horns. "Are these fine, I'm not overdoing it?"

"I didn't realise you could be any more perfect, Lucy." The man grinned as he placed his hands onto the blonde's hips and pulled her close so he could give her a heated kiss. But before he could make a move on the woman, she pulled back slightly and started to trail kisses down his neck and chest, shifting back as she moved down until she was comfortably above his manhood. She gazed up at him from his lap with large eyes that resembled pools of molten chocolate as her tail swished back and forth.

"You seem very worked up, Natsu~." Lucy purred breathily and arched her back, giving her ass a little wiggle that sent a tremble all the way to the heart-shaped tip of her tail. "Should we skip the sucking and go right to the fucking? I'll let you grab my tail~." She channelled all the lust and love she felt for the man from her core to the very corners of her heart into her actions and voice, being as sensual as she can as she slowly rose back up until she was almost nose-to-nose with him. "But you've got to promise to blow it all over my face~."

"As if you're not any less horny than I am." Natsu shot back as he grabbed her hips and turned her around. He roughly pressed her chest down against the tiled floor and grinned as the woman's ass rose to greet his hips, but before he could line his cock up with her soaked snatch, she wrapped her tail around his shaft and lowered the tip until it rested against her entrance. "Handy." He groaned lightly as his knob was pulled inside slightly rubbed around Lucy's pussy but he had enough of toying with each other, so he drove his hips forward and buried himself inside the woman with one powerful thrust.

"NATSU~!" Lucy gasped sharply as her walls strangled the man's cock. She lazily looked over her shoulder and panted softly. "You big meanie. I guess I was worked up… Wasn't expecting to cum from you just sticking that monster inside me~." She knocked aside the hand holding her down with her wing and slowly sat up, forcing him to sit on his knees with her on his lap. The blonde raised her hips, her body tugging on the man's cock until she reached the very top of the shaft and slammed back down. However, she kept her pace slow on the way up, wanting to draw the pleasure out as long as she could. "Yes~, nice and deep, just how I love it!"

Natsu's hands slowly glided up Lucy's sides as he rose up onto his knees, forcing the woman to lean forward more and allow him to thrust forward to meet her bounces. Lucy's tail wrapped around his midriff as his hands cupped her large breasts, kneading them roughly while he kept the pace the busty blonde had set; hard and fast going in and nice and slow withdrawing until he was just barely inside her before driving it all the way to her cervix. "Fuck Luce! Why do you have to drive me crazy every time I look at you?"

"Now you know how I feel~." The lusty blonde giggled breathily and turned her head, she reached back and fisted a hand into his hair so she can pull him into an aggressive kiss. "I always have a little voice in the back of my head that goes 'mount him, mount him, mount him, be ravaged by his huge cock, get filled with his hot steamy cum~' and I keep working myself up because of it and end up needing to relieve myself. Maybe I should just parade around as your naughty little succubus girlfriend as normal~?"

"Mm." Natsu growled and brought his mouth to the base of her neck, sinking his sharp fangs into her flesh and causing Lucy to cry out and tighten around his cock. "I definitely wouldn't be opposed to that. Just expect me to be pulling this tail all the time." True to his words, he slipped his hand from her tit and slid it back around her body until he reached her succubus tail and grabbed it firmly, tugging it gently and earning a shocked gasp from the horned woman. Even though they were magically created and had no bone structure connecting them to her body, they still have feeling and could be moved by her as naturally as her human limbs. And as such, when he toyed with the magical appendage, a jolt of pleasure shot right up the woman's spine and sent sparks flying in her brain.

"Harder~!"

Lucy's moans grew even more needy as Natsu toyed with her tail; stroking it, squeezing it, tugging it, even biting it. He felt the woman coil around his cock once more, closing down like a vice as she drew nearer to another orgasm. She began to shake and shudder as her walls closed in like a boa constrictor, trying to squeeze the life-giving juice from the man's cock. "Holy fuck Lucy~, I don't think you've ever squeezed me this hard…"

"Fuck me~, Please~! Harder!" Lucy shouted, moaning loudly as the man changed the rhythm of his hips to meet her demands. Her arms gave way and slid along the tiles as she laid her chest back down on the shower floor. Her gaze lazily drifted over her shoulder when Natsu grabbed her wing-roots and used them as leverage to savagely drive his cock in and out of her spasming body. Even while she was stuck in the throes of an intense orgasm, he didn't let up, much to her delight. But when she felt his cock begin to throb, she used what little power she had left in her body to push herself upright. "P-pull out, I want it on my face~!"

"Right." Natsu grunted and pulled his body back, his mind was so clouded with lust and love that he had forgotten her wish and had almost filled her up. He gritted his teeth and hardened his resolve as he got to his feet, he was right on the edge of exploding but he just needed to hold on a little longer. Once Lucy had turned around and was sat with her legs splayed out to her sides, he grabbed her by her hair and roughly tilted her head back, much to her enjoyment as her perversely flushed face darkened a few tints. "Open."

"Ah~." Lucy stuck out her tongue and closed her eyes. She wondered how she looked right now, playing the role of a succubus being fed one of her daily doses of semen, the thought made her burn with excitement and she felt her tail react to it; swishing and curling around behind her as her wings fluttered gently. Thankfully, she didn't have to wait long for the first jet of hot liquid to hit her, landing on her tongue and its addictive slightly bitter taste spread out across her tastebuds. It was quickly followed by a jet that impacted her left cheek and one that hit the right, one landed on her chin and a few hit her neck and breasts. The last shot landed against her forehead and dropped down her nose, she swallowed the semen in her mouth and let out a moan as her body shook with delight and she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at the man. "Natsu~ you always make me feel like such a naughty girl~."

"Fitting that you look like a succubus then." Natsu let out a weary chuckle as he panted softly, coming down from the orgasmic high. He let go of the woman's long blonde hair and watched as she collected up all of his sperm and ferried it to her mouth, sensually sucking on her index finger while keeping her eyes glued to him. Once she had cleaned the white goo from her skin, she leaned in and ran her tongue up the underside of his cock, slowly cleaning every inch of it before sucking on the tip in hopes to draw out any more of his delicious jizz. "Oh, fuck Luce~."

When she found that there was none left in the man's cock, she rose to her feet and pressed up against Natsu's chest, squashing her large breasts against his hardened muscle as she gave the man a playful fanged grin but her cheeks were tinted with a cute blush. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his head down so she could whisper into his ear. "Natsu, I… I love you."

Natsu gaped at the side of the woman's head for a moment before he closed his mouth in a broad smile and kissed her cheek softly. "I love you too, Lucy. Heh, I can hear your heart beating like mad."

"Well, you did just fuck me like an animal, so of course it would be going a mile a minute." Lucy giggled softly as she pulled her head back and rested their foreheads together. She gazed lovingly into his dark green eyes and gave him a gentle peck on the lips before tightening her arms and pulling herself up a little so she could wrap her legs around his hips. "I really want to go another round, but I want to spend time with Mother… And I want to show her this, I bet she'd be a little envious."

"Well, at least it's easier to tell you two apart at a glance now." The salmon-haired man chuckled and gently pried the woman off of him and placed her on her feet underneath the showerhead. "We still need to properly shower, not fuck each other senseless until one of us can't walk anymore."

"Fine, but you have to wash me!" Lucy giggled playfully as she bounced on the balls of her feet and rocked her hips side to side with her hands behind her back. "I love being caressed by your rough hands." A delighted mewl escaped her throat as his warm hands ran through her hair but she shivered when the comparatively colder shampoo and conditioner were added. Instead of using the loofa to wash her body, he used his soapy hands, much to her pleasure. By the time he was done, she had developed a lustful glint in her eyes and was practically on her toes, ready to pounce on Natsu but she held herself back and devoted that energy to washing him with one hand and teasingly stroking his shaft with the other. When she felt him get close to another orgasm, she quickly got to her knees and sealed her lips around his knob, stroking and sucking on his cock until her efforts were rewarded with a torrent of semen that she quickly swallowed. She let him go with a pop and grinned up at him. "You're too addictive~."

"And you're making me question if you really are a succubus. You definitely put the suck in it." Natsu chuckled and pulled her to her feet, thankfully she had finished washing him before she decided to devote herself to another load of cum. He reached past her and shut off the shower then flared his magic to dry them. "Let's get dressed and have something a bit more substantial to eat."

"But I love swallowing your cum~." Lucy purred huskily. She grabbed his hands and pulled him back to the bedroom, giggling along the way. "Though I guess you're right, all it can do is satisfy my sexual appetite." She tugged on the man's arm as she turned to face him, giving him a quick kiss before she released him and walked to her suitcase. Lucy grumbled softly as she held up a pair of black lace underwear and looked back at her tail. "I'm going to have to put a hole in these…"

"Just use transformation magic on them to do it. It'll make things easier. Or think of it this way, since your wings and tail are made from magic, you should be able to set them to phase through the underwear at the point of contact."

"Huh…" Lucy stepped into the panties and slid them up her long legs, once it got to her ass, she glanced behind her and slipped it up fully. True to his words, the tail phased through the clothing and sat as natural as if it was through a hole. She hummed softly as she glanced at a black-and-white-plaid pleated skirt, but before she put it on, she slipped on a garter belt and a pair of black stockings. Thankfully, the tail sat under the skirt and came out at the mid-thigh where the skirt ended. "Hehe, thanks for telling me that, Natsu. Now I can be your sexy succubus and not have to ruin my clothes. Oh, hey, watch this."

Natsu glanced over just after he slipped his shirt over his head and saw Lucy's tail flick up and lift her skirt as she let out a light giggle. "Stop flashing me and get dressed, otherwise I'm going to pin you to the bed."

"What if that's what I want?" The busty blonde purred as she turned and wiggled her breasts at him, but as if making its objection, her stomach grumbled loudly which caused the woman to pout like a cute puppy.

"Your body says otherwise, so get dressed."

"Fine, fine." Lucy murmured as she rubbed her toned stomach. She unzipped her skirt and let it fall to the floor. "Do you have a jumper on you? I want to wear that instead."

"Huh?" Natsu's eyes flicked up to the woman's warm chocolate-brown eyes. "Sorry, I was a bit captivated by your body, you want one of my jumpers?" When Lucy grinned and nodded, he brought a black zip-up hooded jumper and wrapped it around her shoulders. As it was sized to fit him, it was too large for the woman and came down just below the middle of her thighs. She looked over her shoulder and mumbled cutely.

"My wings are getting in the way… should I do what I did to the tail or just remove them?"

"I think you should remove them. If it was something like a shirt, I'd say make the pass through it."

Lucy glanced down the front of the open jumper to the skirt at her feet before lifting her gaze back up to the man. "I just want to wear this… but I should probably wait until we are home before I do something like this…" She sighed and pulled her skirt back up before slipping on a bra under the jumper. She placed the jumper on the bed and grabbed a black singlet from her bag and put it on. Her wings phased through the garments and fluttered behind her before settling down and folding up on her back. She slipped on a pair of heeled ankle boots and gazed up at the man shyly. "How do I look?"

"Dangerously cute." Natsu chuckled and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her into his warm embrace as he brought his head down and kissed her gently, earning a pleased moan from the blonde beauty. "Should we go find your mother or go find something to eat?"

"Mother first." Lucy replied as she pulled back reluctantly and put the jumper on, though she didn't zip it up. She led the way out of the room and down the hall, holding the man's hand in her own and pulling him along behind her as she gleefully ran through the hallway. Once she reached the door to her office, she reached out and lightly knocked on the door. She could see the feminine figure rise from the desk and move across the room, and when the door began to open, Lucy brought both hands up like claws and jolted forward. "BOO!"

"EEK!" The older blonde leapt back and placed her hand over her racing heart. "Oh my goodness, Lucy… You nearly made this poor old heart of mine have a fit…" Layla looked her daughter up and down and hid her playful smile behind her hand. "Oh my, don't you look like such a cute little monster. What are you meant to be?"

"A succubus." Lucy giggled and allowed herself into the office. She slipped off the hoodie and threw it onto a couch so she could stretch out the wings she had hidden underneath. "I made it all using a transformation spell, I can feel each one as if they were naturally connected to my body, but they are just magical appendages."

Layla poked, pinched, and gently pulled each inhuman part as her wide eyes roamed her daughter's body with great curiosity. "I'm a little envious, I was never able to do this for Jude. You're a lucky man, Natsu. You have such a beautiful girlfriend who is willing and able to dress up for you beyond just sexy lingerie."

The younger blonde woman glanced at her mother's clothes; she looked like she was ready for a business meeting. "Are you… going somewhere?"

"Yes." Layla sighed sadly and wrapped her arms around Lucy. "I've got a meeting with the Transportation Board at the Ministry of Transport over in Crocus. I had to organise a helicopter to come get me, it was that short notice…" When she pulled away, her eyes were watery and she had to wipe the tears away. "I'm really sorry Lucy, I wanted to spend a few days with you… I'll come to Magnolia when I get the chance and stay a night or two. I'm sure Natsu has a few rooms to spare?"

"I've got two spare bedrooms with queen beds. Just let me know ahead of time, I'll organise for our friends to be there so you can meet them all."

"It's ok, Mother." Lucy's bright smile faltered at the corners as she returned Layla's misty gaze. The magical appendages faded away as she cancelled the spell. "How long until you have to leave, do you have time to join us for breakfast?"

"I have about forty-five minutes before my helicopter arrives, I've already had breakfast but it was a few hours ago. So, I'll just have something light and some tea." Layla hurried to her desk and grabbed the travel bag that she had left leaning against the side of it. "I know that you're still recovering, but could you use that ability to move us about? Just so I can spend a little more time with you two and not have to worry about a departure time."

"Alright." Lucy reached forward and took Layla's hand while at the same time moving her other hand back to rest against Natsu and an instant later, they were back in Lucy's bedroom. "Natsu and I are probably going to return home then. Just let us pack, it won't take long."

"No, no, no… you two can still stay here for a little bit and relax."

"Layla. As much as it would be nice to kick back and relax, we came here to visit you specifically." Natsu spoke calmly in an effort to ease the blonde's apologetic rambling. He slipped his hands into his pockets, his eyes trailing after Lucy for a moment as she wandered into the ensuite. When she was out of sight, he returned his gaze to the mature woman. "Now that you've have an unavoidable meeting come up and need to leave, our reason for staying here will go along with you. As I said last night, you're welcome to come to my house whenever you want, and Lucy's currently living with me so you'll see her there too unless that changes at some point in the near future. But above all else, regardless of if we aren't currently on active duty, we can still be called back into work at a moment's notice if they need specific a specific talent. And we took some losses when we went up against Jose Porla, so we're down on Agents and I think some of the older ones want to leave fieldwork behind now."

"Natsu is right, Mother. We'll be getting caught up in work too, especially if they need people good with infiltration." Lucy gave her mother a reassuring smile as she put their toiletries back into their travel bags. "For example, the only people suitable for infiltrating high society are myself, Lisanna, and Mira as all three of us are used to being in that world. And Natsu is really the only person we have that can track someone to the ends of the earth. Laxus is a dragon slayer too but he can't compare to Natsu, there's a difference between artificial and natural dragon slayers."

"And Lucy is due to take solo jobs at this point, I just need to choose someone to be her handler. It's a job I can't do since I'm usually in the field fairly often, though recently my time has been taken up with training her and making sure she won't screw up and pay a dire price." Two quick pulses of magic burst from behind him and Lucy walked over to his side and smiled up at him.

"I've packed our bags away. So, we're ready to go whenever." Lucy stepped forward and hugged her mother, holding her tightly as she rubbed the woman's back. "We'll have breakfast and see you off before we leave."

"Okay." Layla sniffed and wrapped her arms tightly around the younger blonde. "I'll have your car put under the carport so you can just drive back out."

"Come on, Natsu, let's go eat."

FTA HQ

"I hear that Lucy finally managed to capture your heart."

Natsu glanced back over his shoulder and found his playfully grinning handler hurrying over to him, two cups of coffee in her hands. He took the offered disposable cup and sipped it. "Ah, thanks. And yeah, I guess she did. Though, we were heading there for a while now. Didn't hurt that I knew her as a kid, though it seems that she doesn't remember that too well. Layla does though, her mother."

"So… what does that mean for us?" Mira asked curiously, though she did sound fairly unconcerned. She glanced down at the manilla folder pinned under his left arm then back to his face with a raised eyebrow, but left her question unsaid.

"Her dossier, going to hand it over to someone to do what you do for me." Natsu jerked his head down the hall before taking off once more with the woman walking by his side. "As for our relationship, Mira. Well, we both agreed that it was purely sexual; a means of blowing off stress after tough missions. Nothing is really going to change between you and I, but I am worried about Lis…"

"Let me deal with my little sister." The white-haired woman let out a weary sigh and cross her arms under her bust. "It's about time she moved past her issues with men, she can't just keep relying on you for the rest of her life. I've always known that you never really seen her more than a close friend, it was always a one-sided thing, though you being her hero probably didn't do you any favours."

"I still would have saved her, regardless of if I actually liked her that way or not."

"I know, and I owe you for that. But what about your work, will dating her get in the way of it?"

"No, she's aware that I'll most likely sleep with other women as part of my job. Remember the talk we had about her, that because she is in league with you in terms of beauty – though you're more refined due to experience as a model – that she can use her looks to sway her targets. But how far she goes with that is up to her. She also knows that I may need to sleep with someone to keep my cover intact; say if you and I were on a job as a couple and we find the room we're in is bugged, we'd need to do as couples do and fuck."

"Yeah. I told her that both you and I use seduction and will even coerce targets physically to get them to drop their guard if it is needed. But we told her that she doesn't have to go all the way." Mira finished off her coffee and tossed it aside into a bin as they passed by. She slipped her hands into the pockets of her leather pants and glanced up at Natsu. "I know I shouldn't pry too deep into your relationship with her, but I needed to make sure you aren't going to be worse at your job thanks to it. Though, I will admit that my nights might end up getting a little cold and lonely now. Maybe I should do more fieldwork… Well, at least she's fine with you doing what you normally do."

"She said it's fine as long as I come back and give her more love than I gave whoever it was I was with."

"Aw~ that's so cute! But I mean, with how often you two go at it, I'm pretty sure that's the norm. She's very voracious from what she's admitted, but apparently, it's due to you being good in bed."

"I mean, if I don't leave my targets in a mess of ecstasy then how else am I going to draw what I need to find out from them? Torture only goes so far, and a lot of the time it isn't even an option as we need to leave them in the state that we found them."

"Well, that's all I really need to know about that subject. I just needed to check if you'll be taking a performance hit due to you dating Lucy. How was your trip to her family's estate?"

"It was short but good. Unfortunately, Layla had to head off to a meeting with the Ministry of Transport, so we came back to Magnolia. We may go back when she is free again, but she did say she wanted to come over to Magnolia and meet everyone." Natsu came to a stop out the front of a closed door. He polished off the last of the coffee and glanced around for a bin but unfortunately there wasn't one nearby, so he quickly incinerated it before anyone could notice. "I'm heading in here, are you coming or do you have some plans?"

"I should go deal with Lisanna…" Mira sighed and shook her head. She grinned up at the man and slapped his ass then walked off without another word, just a playful wink thrown over her shoulder.

"Bloody hell, woman…" The man muttered as he turned to the door and knocked. When he was told to enter, he opened the door and looked over at the woman sat behind her desk, surrounded by holographic panels while she typed up a document on her monitor. "Did I catch you at a bad time, Mavis?"

"Somewhat. I'm just busy, nothing major." The green-eyed woman rose from her seat and hurried around the desk to hug her brother-in-law. "I didn't expect you to be back so soon, weren't you supposed to be at the Heartfilia Estate?"

"Yeah. But Layla had to run off to a meeting on the second day, it was short notice." Natsu put an arm around the woman and gave her a light squeeze before he let her return to her desk. He sat down on the edge of her wooden desk and placed the folder down in front of her. "I know you're a busy woman. But I want to ask something of you."

"Hm?" Mavis loosened the string holding the folder closed and flipped it open, revealing a picture of Lucy Heartfilia and all the information corresponding to her abilities, magic, training, and missions she has been on. "I take it you want me to oversee her solo operations?"

"I can't do it as I'm a dedicated field agent. Mira oversees my work between her own jobs and keeping up her appearances in the public eye, so she is off the table too. Erza and Gray are like me, pretty much always out in the field. So, I need someone I can trust with her. That leaves you and my brother, and while he is good at what he does, he is in charge of training people and with the influx of new personnel from taking over Phantom Lord, he's swamped with work."

"And you know that my tactical acumen would allow me to guide her out of whatever trouble she finds herself in?"

"Exactly. I can't always be there with her, so I need someone I know can cover her arse, even if it is from behind a screen. And as you said, your ability to assess the situation and come up with a near instantaneous solution would keep her safe."

Mavis sighed softly and sat back in her high-backed leather chair, her eyes wandering from the dossier to the man next to her. "Ok, leave it with me for a little bit. I want to think on it. I'll need to learn how she operates on a personal level too. I know she is capable, I've read your training and mission reports, but she's always had you there for her, and with you taking the training wheels off and letting her go solo, well, I need to be certain that she can manage the situations she may find herself in."

"That's fine by me." Natsu pushed off the desk and started making his way to the door. "If you want to run her through simulated missions, have a chat with Levy about her Neural Dive stuff she's been working on."

"Yeah, I remember that little test you three ran. If it could handle both you and Lucy running rampage then it should be good enough for me to run her through tonnes of situations that she might find herself in." The slender blonde smiled at the man and grabbed the folder he left behind. "I'm sure I can shuffle my schedule around a little so I can look into this right now…"

"You're awesome, Mavis. Thanks, love ya." The man flashed a fanged grin at the woman and was about to leave when Mavis called out to him.

"If you see my husband anywhere, tell him to get some sleep already because he looks like the walking dead, and if he needs some life breathed into him then he should come see me. Love you too, Natsu." Mavis smiled back at the man, warmly, and brought a finger to her lips in thought. "Oh. You should send Lucy to me if you bump into her at your office, I'll be sending her a message anyway."

"She's not in the building, I'm afraid." Natsu gave Mavis an apologetic smile as he leaned on the door-frame. "She and Erza have gone to a mall to do some shopping. Clothes and sweets and stuff like that."

"Aw! And they didn't think to invite me!" Mavis' shoulders slumped as she whined. She quickly gathered up the folder and rose from the chair. "I'm going to gate-crash their shopping spree. It's a good excuse to get comfortable with Lucy."

"Whelp, I guess my brother is going to be lonely now." The salmon-haired man quickly made way for the woman as she barrelled past him. "Don't forget to send that folder away, those are confidential documents you have there. The kind that's only kept as physical data…"

"I know~ I've been in this game longer than you have, Mister." Mavis giggled as she twirled to face him, running backwards as she held up the folder; it quickly vanished from sight with a burst of dull light. "Don't worry, I'll look after her, just let me get closer to her before I become her handler."

"Thanks again." Natsu chuckled softly and watched his sister-in-law dash in and around small groups of their co-workers. He made to follow her with his hands in his pockets, he had no real destination as it was getting on in the afternoon and he had already been to the gym and also practiced with his Glocks… "Ah, crap… I should probably head down to R&D and tell Eliza that her pistols were destroyed…" He ran his hand through his spiky hair and made a bee-line for the nearest elevator, hitting the button for the sub-level belonging to the Research and Development Department. He said a quick hello to Frank as he raced through the hall, passing through the biometric scanners without a hassle and emerging into the main floor of the department which was as busy as he expected. It didn't take him long to track down the redhead, she was in her work bay and was hard at work on some technical diagrams. "Hey, Eliza, got a minute?"

"Huh?" Eliza turned on her chair and looked up at the agent, an excited smile spreading across her lips. "Oh, hi Mr Dragneel, what can I do for you?"

"It's about your pistols… During my last mission, when we were sent to take down Jose Porla." Natsu leaned against a wall and crossed his arms. "The madman released those monsters of his on us and unfortunately those pistols you made for me were damaged beyond repair. There was nothing wrong with the build quality, it's just those bastards hit like a freight train."

"Hm, I'm a little sad about that. But they were tools to be used. However, I did hope they would serve you a little longer." Eliza rose from her chair and slipped her hands into her coat pockets as she gazed up at the athletic man. "Is there anything I can do about replacements?"

"I think the overall concept is brilliant, but is it possible to condense it down to a pair of tube suppressors that can attach to my Glock 20 pistols?"

"I can silence the bullets that pass through the suppressor, but you'll still get the clacks of the weapon cycling. For me to eliminate that, I'll need to etch runes into the slide. Do you want to stick with your Glock 20s, I know I've got a pair of Glock 40s lying around, it's basically a 20 with a longer barrel. So that, plus the suppressor I can make for you, plus full power ammunition means you can get more velocity from each round and it'll be effectively silent. And it will be exactly what you're used to using but just a little longer, and even then, if I use the runes on the suppressor then I can shorten it to bring it back to the length you're used to."

"Sounds good to me, but don't worry about shortening the suppressors as I'd need them to fit into my existing kit, since my pistol holsters are open-ended, the handgun length doesn't matter as it's the same overall profile. And you already know my preferred customisations due to working with my Glock 20s. What kind of time-frame are we looking at?"

"Well…" Eliza tapped her chin lightly as she looked up at the ceiling. "If I get to work almost right away, I can have the pistols done by knock-off… the suppressors on the other hand will probably run me into tomorrow as that'll take a bit to decide how to do it. But we should have everything I need in this building; I can dart over to the armoury for parts if need be…" She clapped her hands together and gave the man an energetic smile. "Give me until lunch tomorrow. I can bring them up to your office if you don't want to test them?"

"Since you're modifying existing hardware, it should be fine. It's not like last time when you scratch-built two whole new pistols for me. So, yeah, just bring them up when you're done."

"Alright!" The woman cheered and sat back down in her chair. She tapped the diagrams she was working on and smiled up at the man. "Just let me finish these for Miss Scarlet and I'll get to work on your replacement handguns. And remember, you'll be able to run full power cartridges in them, maybe even overpressure ones if you strengthen them with your curse. Maybe I think I put in a custom trigger package into them so you can have single, burst, and fully automatic fire modes, just in case you ever need it."

"Alright. I'll leave it with you then. If I'm not in the office then either Mira or Lucy should be there, they can look after it. And I guess if they aren't there then just leave it on my desk, it's the one of the right as you enter the office." Natsu gave the woman a small wave as he left her workstation. Unfortunately, it had been a slow day and that didn't seem to be changing anytime soon as he didn't have much on his plate nor many people to hang out with; Lucy was off shopping with Erza and her training had basically come to an end, all he could do was continue to polish her skills but as she wasn't at work, he couldn't even do that; Mira was dealing with her sister, something he didn't want to get in the middle of unless he absolutely had to; From what he had heard from Gray, the man had headed out to track down Lyon to make sure he was staying out of trouble and to properly catch up over some drinks; Zeref and Mavis were busy, even though Mavis shirked her duty to help him, his brother on the other hand was sifting through the influx of personnel from their takeover of Phantom Lord and working on a training regime to bring them up to their standards for Operators. "I guess I might as well head home, not used to not being busy…"

That's going to be it for this chapter. Had a little fun with the Transformation spell, I was thinking about how it can completely change someone from male to female as in the case when Natsu turned into Lucy in the show and how we went from lean but muscled to a soft and slim but with a nice rack and would most likely be able to feel everything Lucy could feel with her body. So, I figured it would make sense that one could magically create additions to their body with the spell and the first thing that came to my mind was to turn Lucy into a succubus, because why not and it would be fun to write. So yeah, while at Natsu's house and regardless of who is there, Lucy will be in her succubus form to tease Natsu. Of course, she'll still dress normally, because she still has common social values but that doesn't stop her from being lewd and teasing the man she loves. On a little side-note, she shyly whispered that she loved the man, shocking him for a moment but it allowed him to voice what's inside his heart, even though she's a very lewd woman, she's still a big cutie deep down.
