Author's Note:

Well, I was gonna try for Thursday or Friday... but hey, at least I didn't miss the weekend.

Big thanks as always to my amazing reviewers! Hugs and kisses to: FairyTailxFanGirl, Lovesmutbabe, and Natsulover89. You guys are awesome!

Now, on with the show!


The next morning, Natsu woke up to a bunch of squirming in front of him as Luce tried to wiggle out from under his arm. Her butt ground back against his morning wood… so, he squeezed tighter to keep her from getting away and humped her a couple times.

"Hey! Come on, Natsu… I have to use the restroom. Let go!" she protested and pinched his forearm.

He grinned, happy that she wasn't freaked out anymore by this kinda stuff. She hadn't even flinched when his dick ground into her behind.

"Mornin'," he mumbled against her shoulder and gave her a little chomp, which made her yelp.

"Yes, good morning."

She paused and relaxed for a second, but then she grabbed his wrist and yanked on it. "I really need to go now."

It was pretty obvious she was serious, and he figured she must've woken up with one heck of a full bladder.

"M'kay," he grunted and let her pull his arm off her. As soon as she was free, she scooted outta bed at top speed and booked it to the bathroom – almost slamming the door.

"Sheesh…." he snickered and thought about teasing her when she came back out. But to be fair, it made plenty of sense. He didn't remember either of them using the bathroom before they passed out on Luce's bed last night.

It'd been early morning when they all got back from Heath Star Village, and they'd been dead on their feet. Lucky for them, the gargoyle mission had wrapped up pretty quick yesterday (once they found that final cave). Otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten home last night at all.

After Natsu had busted the magic circle, Luce had woken the mages back up. When the idiots had tried to fight back, he, Luce, and Happy had kicked their butts and scared the ever-loving-shit outta them, 'til they were begging for mercy. Then, they'd sat the jerks down and gave them the whole, 'We're from Fairy Tail, and this village is now under our protection,' spiel.

'Course, they'd also told the mages to pass that message along to the king of Bryophyta Kingdom.

And that had taken care of it. The bad guys had run off with their tails between their legs, and the three of them had gone back to the village to meet up with the others. Wendy and Carla had finished patching up all the villagers by the time they got there, so (after a chat with the village elder to let him know what'd REALLY been going on), they'd been able to head on home.

'Thank Mavis our job ended there,' Natsu thought to himself with an eyeroll. Someone else from the guild could go take care of all the snooping, politicking, and shit that they'd have to do in the kingdom of Bryophyta now. He was happy to wash his hands of it.

Speaking of washing hands, Luce interrupted his train of thought by coming back outta the bathroom, and he shot outta bed and took her place.

She laughed and said from outside the door, "You too?"

"Yep!" he called back, sighing as the pressure in his bladder was released.

When that was all done, he headed back into the bedroom at top speed and snagged Luce. She was in the middle of changing, and her protest got muffled in the shirt she'd just pulled over her head. "Hold on… wait! What are you doing?"

"I'm hungry! Let's go get some breakfast!"

"Alright, fine, but let me finish first!" she yelped, finally yanking the t-shirt on right.

"Ya look done to me."

"I still need to put on my shoes! And you should put yours on, too!"

He glanced down and shrugged. Going barefoot didn't really bother him, but he guessed it didn't hurt. "Alright, fine. But THEN, we're gonna get some food!"

She agreed, and within a couple minutes, they were heading to the main hall.

As soon as they got there, Natsu made a beeline for the bar – kinda dragging Luce behind him.

"Hey, Mira!"

"Hello, you two. How did the mission go?"

"Piece of cake!"

Luce pulled free of him and sat on one of the stools at the bar as she commented, "Well, I wouldn't go that far. It was tough… but we did get rid of the gargoyles for them. Actually, of all crazy things, the gargoyles were being summoned by some mages that the king of Bryophyta had hired. They were trying to scare the villagers into giving up their land so the king could start mining for dragomite there."

"Really?! How terrible."

"Yep, they were a bunch of jerks," Natsu agreed wholeheartedly and then changed the subject. "By the way, I'm starving! What's for breakfast?"

Mira chuckled. "Today I've made scrambled eggs, bacon, and pancakes. How many plates would you like?"

"I'll take four!"

"And I would just like one, please," Luce added with her own snort.

"Coming right up!"

Their white-haired friend disappeared into the kitchen for a minute and came back out loaded down with their food. They dug in, and she wandered off to help other people while they stuffed their faces.

Little by little, Natsu's stomach started filling up, and once he reached his third plate, he was able to think about other stuff. 'Course, he hadn't had a chance yet to deal with his morning 'itch;' so the first thing that popped into his head came straight outta boner-land. Which immediately made him think about how Luce had promised they'd do sexy stuff when they came home.

That got him eating even faster, and he sped through his last plate in record time. Then, when he was done, he switched to egging her on. "Hurry up, Luce! I wanna go do stuff as soon as you're done!"

"Hm? What kind of stuff?"

"You know… sexy stuff. Like you said on the mission."

She choked on her next bite of pancake and looked around wildly to see if he'd been overheard. But he had already made sure there wasn't anyone nearby, 'cause he didn't wanna tick her off right now. If he did, she probably wouldn't wanna go back to her room with him.

"Natsu! We're in public!"

"Nobody heard me," he protested, and a second later, he asked again, "So how about it? Wanna have some fun?"

She flushed a little and fiddled with her pancakes, but it actually looked like she was putting some serious thought into it. So, even though he really wanted to push her for an answer, he held himself back.

And after a minute, his patience paid off when she finally nodded and said, "Okay… I guess we could do that."

Her pancakes didn't leave her plate any faster though. If anything, she ate even slower than before (probably 'cause she was flustered). But since she was almost finished anyways, it didn't matter too much.

As soon as she was done, he grabbed her hand and started hauling her back to her room. "Come on, Luce! Let's go!"

"Woah, slow down! We don't have to rush this much, do we?"

"Yeah, we do."

The grin he shot over his shoulder must've told her something, considering how red her face got again. She also didn't complain after that and picked up the pace.

It didn't take long at all before they were busting through her door, and the second it shut behind them, he started kissing her. That probably surprised Luce, since she staggered back a step… but he just followed along with her, and she ended up with her back pressed against the door. Some kinda noise came outta her that sounded a little like a protest, so he eased up on the throttle and made sure to move his lips and tongue the way he knew she liked – hoping it'd help get her on board.

'Shit. Gotta slow down…. Don't be an idiot. Just focus on turning her on for now….' he told himself with a mental was pretty obvious that he was a lot hornier than her right now, and he didn't wanna accidentally go too fast and turn her off (or freak her out). Holding back wasn't exactly easy for him, but he'd be damned before he fucked anything up between them.

He slid his hands down to her hips and pulled her against him gently as he flicked his tongue against hers, which usually made her squirm in a good way. Her hum tickled his lips, and he somehow kept himself from grinning.

When she wrapped her arms around his neck, he figured she was getting into it and took things up a notch. He kissed her a little harder and snuck his hands up under her shirt. Her boobs were so soft, even with her bra on, and he honked them a couple times before he shoved the underwear up and outta his way. She squeaked and squirmed a little when he flicked his thumbs over her nipples… then made another sound as he lightly pinched them.

He knew he had to be super careful with her nips or they'd start to hurt, since she was so fricken' sensitive there. But on the plus side, that also meant they were a really easy way to get her super turned on as long as he did it right. 'Course, playing with her breasts also made him hornier… and their kiss heated up even more. She kissed him back stronger, her lips and tongue tasting all hot and sweet from breakfast, and it was his turn to groan. The air between them grew muggy with their breath as they both huffed a little harder for air.

Eventually, he pulled back so they could yank her shirt and bra off, and Luce obviously liked the idea too. She unsnapped her bra and tossed it across the room as soon as they got her outta the shirt.

The two of them went back to making out once she was half naked, and his hands found her breasts again. He massaged them and messed with her nipples some more… kinda rolling them around between his fingers and lightly pinching and tugging on them. All of which got her making some super sexy noises, and he rubbed his boner into her belly as she started wiggling around.

Everything felt way too good. Her mouth was driving him nuts (especially when she sucked on his tongue), her breasts were like sexy marshmallows in his hands, her moans cranked his lust through the roof, and the way she moved against his dick was about to make him lose his marbles. If it'd continued on like that, he might've just tried dry humping her against the door… but she pushed him back after a couple more minutes.

"What's up?" he asked, kinda panting a little.

She wasn't much better. Her breathing was pretty fast too… plus she was flushed and looked super aroused. "How about we move this to the bed?"

That sounded like a good idea to him, so he grinned and agreed. "Sure!"

He spun around and hurried over to the bed, 'cause he wanted to keep going as quick as possible. Luce followed and sat on the mattress first while he paused to yank his shirt off.

"It looks like someone's eager," she said with a chuckle, and he grinned back at her.

"Yep." Then, he glanced down at his pants and added, "I'd take these off too, but I'm going commando."

Her eyes shot down to his pants and kinda seemed to stick on his boner (which was poking out and really obvious right now). When she reached out and grabbed ahold of him he groaned a little, her hand feeling amazing on his dick.

"So, you're not wearing anything under here?"

"Huh?..." He almost hadn't heard what she'd said but figured it out at the last second. "Oh, yeah. No, I don't have on boxers…. Shit, Luce, that feels so good."

She flushed a little and smiled up at him.

.

Lucy thoroughly enjoyed watching his face tense with pleasure and felt her own cheeks heat up. This sort of thing still flustered her ever so slightly, but most of the warmth she felt was straight arousal… and what he'd said about going commando sparked an exciting (and nerve wracking) idea.

As she rubbed him through his pants, she started wondering if maybe it was finally time to get rid of the last barrier between them. Up until now, they had touched each other through their respective underwear, but neither of them had touched or seen those parts completely naked. The thought definitely still made her a little nervous, but she'd seen and felt him through his clothes enough by now to have a good idea of what to expect – not to mention the diagrams she'd studied in those medical books.

Honestly, she was probably as ready as she would ever be, and the fear of having a flashback or being triggered from seeing his penis likely wouldn't ever completely go away. At least, not until she'd actually seen him and proved to herself that he wasn't scary. So, in that sense, there wasn't really any reason to wait. This had to happen sooner or later… and the way she felt right now, she'd rather it be sooner. Her curiosity and excitement were competing like heavy-weight champions against her anxiety.

With all of that in mind, she took a deep breath and made her decision. Although, for a few more minutes, she continued to stroke him over his clothes, just to psych herself up with something familiar first. Of course, that ended up backfiring just a little when Natsu put his hands on her shoulders and made to push her back on the bed before she'd gotten up her courage.

She quickly put her hands on his hips to stop him and said, "Hold on…"

"Huh? What's wrong, Luce?"

She bit her lip and took another deep breath, bracing herself. "Um, nothing's wrong, but… I would like to try something new if you don't mind."

He blinked down at her and then smiled, looking eager and curious. "Sure! I'm cool with whatever you wanna do."

With a nod, she chewed on her lip a bit more and looked back down at his waist, trying to decide on her next move. The obvious choice was to undo his belt, and so (with another firm mental pep talk) she gingerly started manipulating the buckle. There was an audible intake of breath above her, and she glanced up, pausing her task.

"Uh, Luce…? If you take off my pants, I'm gonna be naked…." he cautioned, his eyes dark with a mixture of arousal, surprise, confusion, curiosity, and questions.

"Is that okay?"

It looked as though he was tongue tied for a second, but then his facial expression switched to one of excitement and anticipation. "Yeah! Absolutely!"

She flushed and nodded, then turned her attention once again further south and continued working on his clothes. Once his belt was undone, she discovered that the waistband of his pants was fairly loose and there was no button or anything other than the belt holding it up – which meant the only thing left to do was to pull his pants down.

Sliding her fingers under the sides at his hips, she took one last gulp of air, and then pushed the cloth down to his knees. At that point, he took over and kicked them off the rest of the way, but she barely even noticed. All her attention was focused on his groin. Predictably, the second that she saw his dick, it did trigger a very unpleasant flashback to the one other time she'd seen one. Her stomach lurched, and she felt her skin break out in a cold sweat as fear hit her hard… but to her great relief and surprise, the initial reaction didn't last too long. That first burst of anxiety quickly lessened as she forced her eyes to sweep up and down Natsu's entire body, instead of just sticking to his crotch.

Then, once her triggered state had settled, she let herself look closer at his equipment, and after a minute or two, the rest of her nerves started to ease.

Luckily, she hadn't gotten a long look at Eisenwald's, and from what she did remember, he and Natsu didn't look alike. Of course, a penis was a penis, so there were some things she guessed they all had in common, but there were also plenty of variations between the two. She was fairly sure the color, size, and shape were all distinctly different. Not to mention, she hadn't even seen any of the surrounding anatomy her first time around, since he had been poking out through the fly of his pants… versus now and her current unobstructed view of dangly bits and pink curls.

All of which helped her to keep firmly in her mind that this was Natsu. And as the PTSD related fears went away, they were replaced by another set of emotions… simple jitters from seeing him for the first time, amazement, surprise, and plenty of curiosity and intrigue. Actually seeing one up close and in person was different from a diagram, and seeing him through his clothes didn't do it justice either.

The skin on his dick was a dark golden tan (aside from the pink tip), and according to her research, he didn't seem to be circumcised. He also looked bigger than she'd expected, and the way that part of him poked straight out struck her as almost funny-looking.… A thought that only increased as his dick hitched up, bobbing a few times as she stared at it. She assumed that movement was the twitch she'd felt against her before, but she hadn't really been able to imagine what it would look like in this situation.

A small drop of clear liquid squeezed out of the tip, and she blinked at it, remembering something she'd read about pre-ejaculate fluid. Her insides clenched slightly as she realized that that must mean he was really turned on right now… and he wasn't the only one.

This situation was as exciting as it was nerve-wracking. She was both overwhelmed and enthralled by the sheer amount of naked skin on display, and her eyes wandered across the rest of his lower body as well, lingering on his testicles and the muscles across his hips and thighs.

Lucy had no idea how long she just sat there and gawked at him, but she was startled out of it by Natsu's slightly tense voice. "Um… Luce?"

Jerking her eyes up to his, she flushed and realized that he'd been holding himself very still so she could look at him – which had definitely helped her from freaking out. It'd obviously been difficult for him though, because his expression appeared a little strained, and a wave of deep gratitude filled her with warmth.

Of course, she was also a little embarrassed for getting so wrapped up in her examination, and she quickly apologized. "Oh, uh… sorry for just staring at you like that."

"It's cool," he rasped with a crooked smile. "But how're you doing? Does it scare ya?"

She glanced down at his groin again and then looked back up. "I was triggered when I first saw it, but that passed quickly. Thank you for standing so still and letting me adjust."

"No problem. Oh! Hey, I know a way to make it really unscary. Check this out…" He immediately started to thrust and rotate his hips in a way that made his dick spin around like a ridiculous propeller, and after staring slack-jawed for a few seconds, she burst out laughing.

"That is… the silliest thing… I think I've ever seen…" she sputtered, gasping for breath.

The broad grin on his face looked both amused and proud of himself, which almost made the whole thing even funnier. "See? It's not scary at all, right?"

She wiped her eyes, still snickering a little, and wheezed, "Definitely not scary. You've convinced me…"

"Good!"

The silly dance stopped, and after a short pause, he added, "Wanna touch it?"

After what had just happened, she honestly couldn't look at his privates as anything ominous, and the idea of touching him didn't bother her at all. The only thing that she felt was a jolt of excitement and slightly jittery anticipation as well as a healthy dose of curiosity.

"Sure."

Lucy reached out and hovered for a second, trying to figure out exactly where to touch him and how, before carefully circling her fingers around his dick. Keeping her grip light, she gently slid her hand up and down a few times over the shaft, amazed and shocked by everything about it.

His erection didn't feel quite like anything else she'd ever touched before….

For one thing, it was even harder than she had given it credit for. Without any clothes between them, she could truly appreciate just how stiff this part of his body had become; there was very little give when she squeezed. But maybe even more amazing than that was how insanely soft the skin was… almost like flower petals or silk. Of course, then she had to bite back a laugh, imagining how he would react to her comparing his dick to a flower, but she honestly couldn't think of a better analogy.

His skin also moved a little, gliding smoothly up and down over the hard core as she stroked him, especially towards the tip where it was looser. That part – where his foreskin moved back and forth over the head – sparked her curiosity, and she gently investigated by running a finger around the edge.

"You can pull it back… see? Like this," Natsu said, grabbing himself around the top and tugging back towards the base. To her surprise, the loose skin slid down smoothly, fully exposing the head of his penis.

"That doesn't hurt?"

"Nope. It feels good."

"Oh… okay…." she muttered and replaced his hand with hers again.

She gently tugged down, the same way he'd done, and was amazed by how smoothly it slid back. As she squeezed and pulled, he pulsed in her hand, and to her surprise, she could actually feel the blood rushing underneath his skin. It didn't last long, but now that she knew what to look for, she could still faintly feel it throbbing… almost like a heartbeat.

That definitely intrigued her, and experimentally, Lucy slid his foreskin back up and repeated the whole thing, squeezing even more firmly this time. Sure enough, a stronger pulse rushed through his dick again, and for a second, the head swelled a little and darkened, as if more blood had rushed into it. She watched it go back to its normal size a moment later and then tilted it this way and that, getting a good look at the almost mushroom-like shape.

Her attention drifted from the ring of darker pink skin underneath his 'cap' to the way his foreskin connected to the underside of his tip with a narrow band of skin. All of it fascinated her, and with him exposed like that, she couldn't resist gingerly touching the tender skin with her other hand. When Natsu's whole body twitched though, she quickly stopped and asked, "Sorry, did that hurt?"

"No, it's just sensitive. Feels good."

"Ah," she hummed, and reached out again to touch him, making sure to stay gentle. As she'd already noticed, the tip was a different type of skin… pink, a little shiny… and soft, but slightly sticky. It was more of a squishy sort of soft than a velvety sort of soft. And part of the reason why it was a bit damp might have been because of the clear liquid that was still beading up from a narrow slit at the very tip.

Curious, she lightly touched that bead of moisture (taking note when Natsu's stomach tensed). After rubbing it between her fingers – intrigued by the slick texture – she stroked him up and down a few more times and then moved down to his testicles, also wanting to explore them.

Again, touching them directly like this was much different from when she'd explored him through his clothes, and she was astonished by the way they felt. Just like everything else so far, they managed to surprise her. His 'sack' was shockingly stretchy and wrinkly, and the balls themselves rolled around inside it in a way she never would have anticipated. If she had thought that his dick was new and strange, this body part was downright alien to her… and after her initial surprise, she decided that she liked playing with them.

After several minutes though, she could see that Natsu was starting to get antsy, and she put one hand back on his dick. While still massaging his balls with her other palm, she started stroking him from root to tip, squeezing gently, and glanced up to see if he liked what she was doing. His eyes were glassy and dark, and she gulped, her mouth suddenly dry as a fresh dose of arousal flooded her system.

Then, a sudden thought made her grip loosen, and she stopped to ask, "So, what do you usually do when you make yourself orgasm?"

"Huh?" he asked, his expression still glazed for a second before he got with it. "Oh! Yeah, sure, I'll show ya."

His hand replaced hers on his dick, and he took over rubbing it. He kept his grip in one spot near the tip and used the foreskin to stroke up and down over his head, moving both faster and harder than she'd been doing.

It was actually surprisingly arousing to watch him touch himself, and she couldn't take her eyes off his fist for several long minutes… but after a while, she wanted to try.

"Can I?" she asked, putting her hand over his, and he let go.

"Sure! Go for it!"

Gripping him in the same place he'd been, she tried to imitate the way he had stroked himself, asking after a few moments, "Is this right?"

"Feels great. Try squeezing a little harder."

"Okay…" She followed his advice and squeezed her fist harder, feeling him twitch as she did. "Like this?"

"Yeah… that's awesome, Luce…." he rasped, and she glanced up to see his eyes fixated on her hand. His gaze was intense, and based on that and the way his muscles tensed, she would have been able to tell that he was feeling good even if he hadn't said so.

After a bit though, he grabbed her wrist and stopped her.

"Getting close, and I don't wanna finish so quick," he grunted in explanation when she looked at him questioningly.

She relaxed, worried for a second that she was doing something wrong. "Okay. Then what do you want to do now?"

His sharp-toothed grin paired with dark eyes made her stomach jump, and she blinked up at him – wondering what he had planned. He grabbed her shoulders and pushed until she'd scooted back on the bed and given him enough room to join her.

"Wanna kiss some more."

"Uh… sure. I'd like that too…." she said, glancing down at his naked body.

The fact that his dick was out and about while they were together on the bed made a little zap of nerves tingle through her system, and she quickly gripped his arms, stopping him as he leaned in for a kiss. "But, um… I'm still not ready for sex yet, okay?"

He paused and then blinked, looking confused as though her statement had come out of nowhere. "Yeah, I figured. Why?"

His reaction made her realize that she was probably being overly cautious, and she flushed a bit as she admitted, "It's just… I thought I should make that clear. Since you're… you know… naked."

There was a long moment as he blinked at her some more, and then he started chuckling. "Come on, Luce. I'm not gonna try and stick it in just 'cause I'm naked."

Her cheeks heated up even more, and she also laughed a little, feeling both relieved and a little embarrassed. "Okay. I figured as much, but I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page."

"Yep. Don't worry, there's lots of other stuff I wanna do," he reassured her with a grin, and she returned it with one of her own as she relaxed.

This time, she didn't stop him when he leaned in for a kiss. Their lips met, softly at first, but it quickly turned heated and deep. Both of them were aroused enough that they didn't need much preamble. His tongue slid in and out of her mouth as their lips set up a rhythm that soon had her breathing much faster. She reached for him, her hands landing on his collarbones, and she slid her palms down his muscular front before traveling back up to latch onto his shoulders.

Soon, her grip tightened as his hands made their way to her breasts and started massaging her, flicking his thumbs over her nipples and making her squirm as lightning flashed between the tips and her groin. Over the last few weeks, he had really mastered the art of playing with her breasts in a way that turned her mind and body into superheated mush. She literally couldn't sit still as he plucked and gently twisted the peaks, and a variety of soft sounds came out of her throat in response.

When his lips left hers and started tracking kisses down her neck, she gulped in some much-needed oxygen, only to hold her breath as he continued past her collarbones. One slightly callused palm cupped a breast and lifted it to his mouth as he reached it. All of the air she'd been holding onto came out on a groan as his lips latched onto her nipple and started sucking, periodically pulling away to lick and flick with his tongue.

This was the second time he'd done this. The first had been about a week ago, and at the time it had shocked her… both because she'd never thought of it as an option before and also because his lips and tongue felt so good. They felt even better on her sensitive nipples than his calloused fingers; and the contrast of insanely hot mouth and cool air across her wet skin when he switched breasts drove her nuts.

The whole experience was slightly mind blowing, and her fingers found their way into his hair without her even realizing it. She clenched fistfuls and almost resisted when his head lifted, but then she realized his intention and eagerly pulled him in for another kiss, pressing herself against him. Her insides had wound tight, the way they always did when she was aroused, and that spot between her legs was aching with the need for friction.

She fell back onto the bed easily when he pushed and immediately spread her legs, letting his hips fall between her thighs. By now, they'd dry-humped enough times that the feel of him pressed against her intimately didn't make her nervous at all… and she also didn't mind it when he took charge of the movement. All she experienced was anticipation and then pleasure as he thrust his erection against her groin, and she arched up to meet him.

The skin-to-skin contact between their chests and stomachs still wasn't something she was used to yet, even though they'd done it a couple of times, and she gasped as they came together. It felt amazing…. He was so ridiculously warm, and as they moved together, her nipples brushed over his chest in a way that made her sigh and squirm a little.

They continued like that for several mind-numbing minutes, and she just assumed things would finish with them dry-humping through her pants. However, apparently Natsu had something else in mind.

When he pulled back from her, she reluctantly unlocked her arms from around his neck and let him go. Earlier on in their physical relationship, she probably would've immediately asked what he was doing and why he'd stopped kissing her, but now, she just quietly waited and watched with curiosity. He knelt back onto his heels, and his hands slid down her body… thumbs hooking into the waistband of her pants and underwear.

Her stomach leaped, and a small tremor of anxiety went through her, immediately able to guess what he was about to ask.

"Can we take yours off, too?"

Lucy bit her lip, thinking about it. Up to this point, he had seen her in just her panties, and he'd even touched her through them… so this wasn't THAT big a leap. Of course, she was still nervous about potential triggers, but the way she felt about her underwear was basically on par with how she'd felt about Natsu's pants.

Technically, that meant she was as ready for this next step as she'd been for that; at least when it came to her trauma-related worries. However, on top of those, she was ALSO a little embarrassed about him seeing her privates.

She wasn't exactly worried about the way she looked down there… she'd already investigated herself with a mirror after reading the medical textbook, and though it definitely looked a little strange, it wasn't strange in a bad way. To be honest, she saw her genitals a lot like she saw Natsu's: that they were odd, new, exciting, and interesting. But on the other hand, there was still her upbringing to deal with and the idea that her privates were dirty and not something to be seen or touched by anyone else.

Obviously by now, she knew that that wasn't right, and thankfully, it hadn't transferred to Natsu's dick. Otherwise, she would've had a difficult time touching him without being grossed out.

Yet, she just couldn't completely shake those thoughts about her own equipment, and it made her hesitant to let him look and touch her. Not to mention, she still hadn't been able to figure out if the amount of slipperiness that she produced down there was normal or not. He hadn't mentioned it so far when he touched her through her underwear, so she assumed he hadn't been able to feel it… but he would definitely notice once they took her panties off.

Of course, with him being the kind of person that he was, she knew he'd completely accept her in any case, but the whole thing still made her a little anxious. Nobody liked to find out that they were weird or abnormal in some way – especially when it came to such a sensitive topic.

Still, she knew that every single one of those worries wasn't going to go away until she actually confronted them with Natsu, which brought her right back to her initial gut-feeling about it. She was ninety-nine percent sure that she was as ready for this as she would ever be.

So, with that in mind, she took a big gulp and repeated her thoughts out loud. "Yeah… I think that'd be okay. I'm a little nervous, but… I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Though, I don't think I'm ready for your dick to touch me there without anything between us, so…."

"That's fine! I'll keep my dick way over here. 'Kay?"

She nodded again. "Okay. Then, let's try it."

"Awesome!" he crowed, and without waiting a second longer, he pulled her bottoms down.

It was a little abrupt – not exactly surprising for him – but she still yelped a little as her pants were yanked out from under her butt without any ceremony. It also gave her a slight rugburn, and she scowled up at him, rubbing what she could reach of her behind as he wrestled with the legs of her pants.

"You didn't have to be so rough about it…"

"Sorry, sorry… M'just really excited," he said with a fairly unrepentant grin as he finally stripped her and tossed the last article of clothing somewhere random in the room.

That left them both completely naked, and her stomach did another flip flop at the realization, although she tried not to get too jittery about it. Even though it seemed like a big deal, it actually wasn't that different from what they'd done before in their underwear.

"Uh-huh. I can tell," she grumbled, just trying to focus on their conversation to distract herself.

She'd clenched her legs together, and his hands landed on her raised knees, gripping them lightly. With a little tug, he glanced from her lower half back up to her face and asked, "So, uh… can I see ya?"

If her face wasn't tomato red, then her cheeks were sending her false information, because they felt like they were on fire at the moment. She cleared her throat and replied, "Right. That would be the next step… wouldn't it? Just, uh, give me a second to unclench, okay?"

Her response seemed to worry him, and his brow scrunched up slightly with concern. "You sure you're okay with this? We don't have to if you don't wanna…"

"No, no! I do want to! It's just… well, like I said… I'm kind of nervous. So, uh… I just have to, you know, psych myself up for it a little bit."

.

Natsu kinda blinked, happy she wanted to do this, but also worried about her. She looked really tense, and he would've known that she was nervous even if she hadn't said anything. It was pretty obvious.

But she'd said that she was as ready as she was ever gonna be… so that meant they just had to get her to relax about the whole thing. Which gave him an idea.

"Alright, lemme help with that!"

He lifted up on his knees and leaned over so he could get at her sides and tickle the worries right outta her. From his experience, that usually seemed to work – though it also got him punched sometimes.

She immediately shrieked and twisted, looking shocked and sorta alarmed, but not in a really bad way. "Natsu! What are you…?! N-no! Stop…!"

That wasn't her only protest, but he just grinned and kept at it (mostly 'cause it was fun). There was something really amusing about seeing Luce laugh so hard, and he got a kick outta watching her squirm around trying to get away from his fingers. 'Course, a big part of that was also her nakedness…. Who knew a tickle fight could be this fricken' sexy? He caught glimpses of her pussy as she thrashed and tried to shove him away from her, and her boobs were bouncing all over the place. Even the flush going down her neck turned him on like crazy.

It was all SO much fun that he would've been happy going at it for a while… but it only lasted a couple minutes. Eventually, she got a good kick in and knocked him off her.

Figuring that that was probably enough, he let himself drop butt-first back on the bed and watched her with a shit-eating grin as she struggled to her elbows and glared at him.

"You… jerk. That was a dirty trick…" she wheezed, still giving him the hairy eyeball.

"Maybe. But it worked, right?"

She glanced down when he pointed, and then her face got even redder, and she snapped her legs closed again. For a second, he thought she was gonna freeze up and get all worried again, but thankfully after a couple heartbeats, she sighed and relaxed.

With a huff, she flopped onto her back and unclenched. Her legs didn't exactly spread wide to welcome him or anything, but they weren't squeezed shut anymore either.

"Okay… so maybe it did work. A little bit."

"Feeling more relaxed now?"

A few growls and grumbles came outta her (which made him laugh) before she finally admitted, "… Yeah. I am."

"See? I come up with some pretty good ideas, ya know," he bragged, sitting back up so he was in front of her again.

She pursed her lips and squinted up at him. "Sometimes. But I still think that was rude."

He snickered and grabbed her knees – ready to get back on track now. "So… how about it?"

Her thighs twitched when he gave her a little squeeze, but after tensing up again for a split second, she sighed and said, "Fine. Go ahead."

When he pulled, she let her legs fall open, and he got his first good look at her pussy. This wasn't his first time seeing one; he'd had a girlfriend after all, and there were some guys around the guild who'd shown him their porn collections before. But he thought that Luce was sexier than any of those.

Her pubes were so blond and fine they were basically see-through, except for where they'd gotten a little darker with her wetness. Which was super arousing. And since he'd pushed her legs out into a pretty wide angle, she'd spread open enough that her inner lips had already parted a bit. He could see little peeks of her opening and clit, and she was all ruffly and pink and soft-looking in a way that had him dying for more.

Before he did anything else though, he glanced up to check on her and make sure she was doing okay. She had her arms crossed and was staring off to the side like she was still mad at him, but her face was bright red and looked kinda embarrassed.

"You okay there, Luce?"

He didn't think she could get any redder… but was he wrong. Her cheeks flushed even hotter, and it went down her neck and started making patches on her chest. She glanced at him outta the corner of her eye and mumbled, "Yeah, I'm fine."

There was a long pause, and he would've continued, except then she quietly asked, "So, uh… does it… look okay?"

"Oh yeah, you're super sexy, Luce."

Even more patches of red popped up on her chest, but she seemed to relax a little.

When she didn't say anything else, he asked, "Can I keep going?"

She nodded, and he grinned and looked back down at her pussy, eager to continue. He slid his hands up the insides of her thighs until he was right on the creases of her groin, and then he ran his thumbs across her outer lips. After a couple swipes, he pressed down (making sure to be gentle), and pulled her outer lips open completely so he could see everything. She squeaked a little, and he glanced up to see those red splotches getting even bigger on her boobs, but she seemed to be doing okay.

So, his eyes zipped down her body again. Now, he had a clear view of her v-hole, and even her clit had popped out from under its little hood, sorta taunting him. She was super wet and aroused, and everything down there was bright pink, puffy, and shiny. He gulped, feeling kinda drunk and hypnotized as he stared at her.

It wasn't long before he couldn't stand just looking and not touching. After another quick glance up to check and make sure she was still cool, he put his whole hand over her pussy (kinda carefully, so he didn't spook her).

"This okay?" he asked, figuring he should check verbally this time.

"Y-yeah…"

She'd stuttered, and her breathing was a little ragged, but she also looked turned on. Just to make sure though, he asked again. "You sure?"

That got him something closer to a glare, and she was very firm this time. "Yes."

"Okay, cool."

He grinned at her and then switched back to her pussy. It was warm and soft and slippery under his hand when he started rubbing up and down a little, and as soon as he pressed his middle finger down against her clit, the whole thing pulsed. There wasn't any reason to ask if Luce was okay this time, 'cause she made a very happy sound that let him know it felt good.

She gasped and hummed as he rubbed her in circles, and her hips started rocking up in a way that said she liked what he was doing. And when he pulled away a couple minutes later, his palm was soaking wet. It made his dick jump, and he stared at his hand, kinda amazed and extremely horny. "Woah… you're so fricken' wet!"

That must've been the wrong thing to say though, 'cause she immediately got all tense and worried looking.

"Natsu! Don't just…. say it like that. It's embarrassing!"

"Huh? Why?" he asked, not really getting it.

"Because… I know I… I mean… I think… is that… normal?" She stopped and started so much he still didn't really understand her, but when she finally added, "It's weird, isn't it?" he finally got the picture.

"No, it's not weird at all. Everyone does it when they're turned on. Well, I mean, girls…." He paused, thinking about precum, and changed what he'd been about to say. "No, actually, yeah. Everyone does it. But girls do make a lot more."

"Oh…. Okay. But… is it really normal to make this much? I thought maybe…."

"Don't be such a worrywart. It's totally normal, and I think it's super sexy."

"Really?"

"Yes. My boner feels like it's about to pop right now," he grunted, hoping that got the message across. His dick really was throbbing like crazy, and when he licked his hand and tasted Luce, he almost could've cum right then and there.

But she freaked when he did that and yelped, "Did you just…?! Natsu! Why would you lick it?! That's gross!"

"No, it's not."

"Yes it is! I haven't taken a shower, and it's dirty, and it came out of… there… and…. Seriously… why did you…?! Ugh!" Her eyes were plate-sized, and she really did look shocked and grossed out.

This was gonna be another annoying holdup, he could just smell it, and he groaned. "It's not gross at all. You taste and smell frickin' amazing."

"That's… I don't…." she sputtered and stalled out, her mouth working but not saying anything.

It seemed like she'd run outta words, and he decided to nab the opportunity before she found more. He grabbed her legs and pushed them open again… and before she could protest or get all funky, he eyeballed her clit and went after it with his fingers. Rubbing her through her panties had given him a basic idea of the kinda pressure she liked, but he knew that direct touching like this was gonna be a lot more intense. So, he kept it light at first.

And thank mavis, it worked. She yelped and didn't say anything else about being 'dirty' while he played with her weak spot. Instead of talking, he got a couple of awesome gasps and moans outta her, and her hips shuddered – all of which made his dick even harder. He could barely keep himself from jerking off, he was so frickin' horny, but he definitely didn't wanna stop. Doing this to Luce was way too sexy and fun to quit now.

Natsu mentally ran through his list of tricks as he got more serious about it. Normally, his memory kinda sucked, and he forgot things pretty easily if he didn't keep up with them… but sex-ed with Cana wasn't something you forgot about. She could be just as scary as Erza (in a different way), and she'd beaten the stuff into him. He'd dreamed about clits, g-spots, and shit for weeks after that.

'Course, it came in handy now, so he definitely wasn't gonna complain. Thinking back on everything the wine expert had taught him, he ran his finger up and down one side of Luce's clit, then the other, and asked her, "Does it feel better here? Or here?"

"Huh? Uh… I don't know… do it again, and I'll pay more attention this time," she huffed, her voice all breathy and sexy.

"M'kay."

He did it again like she'd asked and waited to see what she thought about it. After about a minute, she answered, "I think… the left side feels better. Maybe."

"Cool. What about this?" Instead of rubbing her up and down, he tried going side to side.

That got her hips jumping a little, and she gasped. "It feels… really good."

"Awesome!" he said with a grin and gave himself a couple jerks with his free hand.

Since she liked that, he kept it up a bit, then switched to circles and asked her again what she thought about it. Apparently, that was even better than sideways. He also tried pinching her between his fingers, tapping her clit, and flicking it, but none of those worked really well for her. And when he tested different speeds, he found out pretty quickly that she preferred things slower.

Overall, it took a few minutes to discover the things that really got her going. But as soon as Natsu had it figured out, he stopped experimenting and went after her for real… and nearly went nuts himself. The way she arched up into him, tossed her head back and forth, and scrunched her eyes made his dick heavy and achy. He rubbed it a couple more times but tried to keep his hands off, or this'd be over quicker than he wanted.

When she looked about ready, he got his other hand involved and pulled up her hood so he could get to her whole clit. And she just about came off the bed when he touched the tip.

"What… what happened? Why is it….?"

"Wanna see?" he asked, kinda thinking she'd get embarrassed and fuss at him. But instead, she leaned up on her elbows and actually looked at where he was touching her, which was an awesome surprise. Although, her face did turn super red as she eyeballed his fingers on her pussy.

"This bit usually covers your clit, and I was touching ya over it. But now I've pulled it back," he explained.

Her eyes were still big and shocked, but also really curious now. "So this is my 'clit,' huh? Wow… how weird. I mean, I looked at myself in the mirror once, but I didn't think to pull that part back."

It was so fun to show her brand-new stuff about her body, and it also turned him on like crazy. He knew his grin was probably a little too big and too smug as he told her, "Pretty cool right?"

When she nodded, he couldn't resist pushing her a little more and suggested, "Why don't ya try touching it?"

That blush just kept getting redder than he thought was possible. He figured she'd say, 'no thanks,' and maybe smack him for suggesting it… but she surprised him again.

"Um… okay."

He watched – holding his breath for some stupid reason – as she slowly reached out and ran the tip of one finger across her clit. It must've felt good, 'cause she kinda flinched and sucked in her breath, blinking a couple times.

"Oh… wow. That's really… interesting," she said shakily and took her hand back.

"You wanna try rubbing yourself for a bit?"

She shook her head vigorously and flopped back on the bed, throwing an arm over her face to cover it. "No… uh… I'm good," she squeaked out, and he chuckled.

Apparently, that was one step too far. Too bad… he would've liked watching her masturbate for a bit, but he wasn't all that upset. This meant he got to touch her some more, which was just as sexy.

She tensed up when he swiped his finger through the wetness around her entrance, but as soon as he moved back up to her clit with the new lube, she relaxed and started making her happy-sounds again. He touched her (making sure to stay really gentle), and they did a whole new round of, 'does this feel good?... or how about this?...'

Cana had drilled it into him that messing with a clit under the hood was a completely different ballgame, and he had to be careful. But it was totally worth it, 'cause he got even wilder reactions outta Luce this way. Her thighs trembled, and she grabbed the blanket as he tickled the very tip super lightly… and stroking around it in a tight circle made her whine and buck her hips.

Pretty soon, she didn't even seem to notice much when he touched her vagina to re-lube his finger. Maybe she'd figured out that he was keeping things slick so her clit didn't chafe, or maybe she just stopped caring. Either way, it definitely didn't freak her out anymore, and once he'd come up with a new set of things she liked, he decided to try something. The next time he dipped down to her opening, he stuck around and ran the tip of his finger around the ruffly bits around her hole.

When he didn't immediately go back to her clit, Luce opened her eyes and looked at him in a curious kinda way and asked, "Natsu?"

"… What do ya think about putting one finger in?" he asked carefully.

She froze a little (which he'd expected), and he could see the wheels turning in her head. The idea clearly worried her a bit if the little scrunch between her eyebrows said anything.

"Well… I guess we could try… but… will it hurt?"

There was a squeeze in his chest that didn't feel too good, but he shoved it down real quick before she could see it on his face. "No. Shouldn't hurt at all. But I'll go super slow and stop if it's even a little uncomfortable… 'kay?"

She blinked slowly, obviously thinking about that. Then, after a couple more minutes, she nodded. "Alright. As long as you go slowly… I think it's okay."

"Awesome. I promise I'll be super gentle."

Luce nodded again, and he very carefully wiggled his finger around the ruffles until he found the opening. The second he started pushing in a little though, she tensed up like crazy, and he froze.

"You okay?"

She bit her lip and said, "Yeah… keep going. I'll let you know if it hurts."

"Right," he grunted, and got busy sliding his finger into her as slow as he could.

It was so slow he wasn't even sure he WAS moving half the time, but eventually he got up to his first knuckle – so he guessed it was working. He kept glancing back and forth between her pussy and her face, making sure she was doing okay as he went… and even though she never really relaxed, she didn't seem to freak out either. If anything, she looked kinda surprised, and when he got the whole thing in, he stopped and checked in with her again.

"How ya doing? Did it hurt at all?"

She shook her head, still looking a little shocked. "No… I didn't feel any pain. It was a bit scary at first, and it feels sort of strange… but not bad."

"See? I told ya it wouldn't hurt…." he boasted with a relieved grin. Then, he asked, "Do you want me to try moving it a little?"

"Sure. Just keep going slow, okay?"

"No problem."

.

For Lucy, feeling Natsu's finger inside her was one of the oddest things she'd experienced so far. As she'd told him, it had been nerve-wracking in the beginning… she had almost been triggered by the gentle stretching sensation. However, when it stayed mild and actually somewhat pleasant, she slowly relaxed. His finger had slipped in unexpectedly easily, and it'd taken her a moment to realize that it was likely because she was so wet, but for the first time, she wasn't embarrassed by that fact. Instead, she thanked her body for making things go smoothly.

When she gave him permission to move, she expected him to slide his finger in and out, but to her surprise, he started by wiggling it around inside of her. That felt weird, and a few small sparks of pleasure went through her as he woke up some nerves that she hadn't realized could feel good.

Eventually, he did slowly start pulling out, but before he'd gone too far, he stopped again and pressed upwards – this time touching a place inside of her that was extra sensitive. It almost felt as though she had to urinate as he rubbed that strange spot… but in a good way that made no sense. Both pleasure and pressure built behind her pubic bone, making her clit throb, and she found herself breathing harder and faster without even realizing it.

"How does this feel?" he asked, distracting her slightly from the unexpected things happening inside her body.

"Oh, um… it feels really good. Are you doing something special?"

"Yeah, I'm rubbing your g-spot. I think."

That wasn't a term she was familiar with, so as soon as she had enough breath to ask, she gasped, "What's a g-spot?"

"Uh, dunno exactly," he answered with a shrug. "I just know it's a spongey spot inside you that's supposed to make ya feel really good. Some girls can even cum from being rubbed there."

The only response that her overwhelmed brain could come up with was, "Really? Wow…"

After a few more minutes massaging her 'g-spot,' he stopped – which was slightly disappointing – and continued sliding his finger out a little bit further before pushing back in again. This time, he did what she'd initially thought he would do and slowly thrust in and out of her… and it still didn't hurt. In fact, what she experienced was the exact opposite of pain.

The more he moved, the better it felt (especially when he started pressing up and dragging his finger across her g-spot on the way out). Little pops and flashes of pleasure started crackling through her in a way that she never would have anticipated, making her insides twitch around his finger.

"How're ya doing? Think I can go a bit faster now?" he asked a while later, and she immediately nodded.

"Yeah, definitely."

When he did, she sighed a little, and then sucked in her breath so fast that she nearly choked as his thumb reached up and started rubbing her clit in rhythm with his finger inside of her. She hadn't expected that, but in hindsight, maybe she should have realized it would be the next logical thing to do.

Having both places stimulated at the same time was even better than when he'd just been rubbing her clit… and that had already been at least ten times better than what they'd done through her underwear. Currents of almost electrical pleasure snapped between her vagina and clit, causing the ball of tension in her belly to wind tighter and tighter and everything to feel better and better… until she almost couldn't stand it anymore.

Lucy was already at that place where she needed to orgasm or risk going insane, but this time, it felt a lot more powerful, as if the building intensity was ramping up much higher than usual. She'd never felt waves of pleasure this powerful before. It was like they were coming from deeper inside her and mounted faster and harder… and she couldn't help but wonder if she was hurtling towards an even stronger climax than the ones she was used to. Although, she had no idea what that would mean exactly. Every orgasm she'd had up to this point had been amazing and mind-blowing, and she didn't know how they could possibly get any better. But something told her this one was about to take the cake.

It didn't take long for her to reach the breaking point, and with a few sounds that she'd blush about later, she felt as though an explosion went off inside her groin – making every single sensation feel a thousand times better. She gasped and arched up hard, then shattered as her body twisted and shook with metaphorical fireworks. Her inner muscles spasmed, squeezing his fingers rhythmically as deep pulses of pleasure came from the places that he still stroked inside of her. Those new sensations combined with the ones in her clit to set her on fire, and she felt like her entire 'pussy' had been turned to lava.

The whole thing seemed to last forever, and Natsu didn't stop moving his hand the entire time, which ramped up the intensity and pleasure higher and higher until she had a second mini-explosion. Even more sounds escaped her that she could be shy about later, and she gasped, writhed, and cried out as the sensations shook her.

It all felt so amazing that she couldn't control her voice or her body, and she was lost for a good few minutes before coming back to earth. But eventually, her clit grew overstimulated, and the pleasure turned into zaps of discomfort that had her scooting up the bed in an attempt to get away from Natsu's thumb.

"Okay… okay… I'm good… that's enough…." she gasped (not very coherently), but between that and trying to escape him, he apparently got the message. His thumb left her clit, but he kept thrusting his finger inside of her, triggering a few more contractions and throbs of pleasure.

Once she stopped squeezing him though, he finally pulled out, and she had a chance to catch her breath. With a little more oxygen circulating in her brain, the first logical thought that came to mind was, 'What about Natsu? He hasn't orgasmed yet, right?'

Her eyes popped open, and she looked over to see him rubbing himself vigorously while staring at her with a very dark gaze that made her stomach flutter. Naturally, she flushed, both flattered and a bit flustered to find that out, but there were more important things to focus on. Sitting up, she reached out and lightly touched his wrist – which had already slowed down as soon as she started moving.

"Hey… can I try?"

He immediately let go and gave her a big grin that was equal parts sunshine and thick desire. "Yeah! I'm super close, so it's not gonna take long."

"Okay then… just like this?" she asked, grabbing his dick and rubbing him the same way she'd just seen.

"Ah… yeah… like that… feels amazing, Luce…."

He hadn't been joking, she could easily tell that he was close now that she paid attention. All his telltale signs were there… the heat coming off of him in waves, a little sheen of sweat, a scrunch between his eyebrows and slightly gritted teeth, rough breathing, and of course plenty of talking.

He must've kept himself from saying anything while he'd been touching her… maybe so it wouldn't distract her… or maybe because he had been concentrating so hard. But now, it seemed like he spat, groaned, and hissed every little thing that popped into his head. She was used to that by now though and had grown to find it mostly arousing.

His hips jolted, and she could see his thighs start trembling (also signs that he was approaching his peak), and her anticipation and curiosity mounted along with his arousal. Since they had only been touching each other through their underpants, she'd never actually seen him ejaculate before.

She didn't have to wait long. Just a few minutes after she began rubbing him, he tensed up and shuddered, locking into place as his erection suddenly started kicking in her fist. It pulsed, very much like the contractions she felt when she orgasmed, and each time that it did, thick liquid squirted out of the tip. Warm drops landed on her forearm, hand, and plopped onto his thighs.

It wasn't exactly a surprise… she'd known that it would happen, but she was a little startled by how far it traveled. The first squirt was the strongest, with each one after that being a little less powerful, until the very last drop – which squeezed out and oozed down the side. There wasn't very much of it, maybe a tablespoon or two if she had to guesstimate, and it was a strange consistency… sort of gooey and lumpy when she gathered some up and rubbed it between her fingers.

That wasn't the sexiest of things, but at the same time, it still turned her on because of what it was and what it meant.

"Wow… that was awesome…." Natsu huffed as she let him go, and she chuckled, giving him a warm smile.

"I could say the same thing about what you did. It felt amazing."

He flopped onto his back and also laughed a little, returning her smile with a slightly goofy one of his own. "Good…. We'll hafta do this again… and soon."

"Definitely," she agreed and plopped down onto the bed as well.


Sneak Peek

One thought naturally led to another, until something completely new (but not entirely unrelated) occurred to her, and she broke the silence with, "Shoot! I'm going to need to get contraception!"

The words had popped out of her mouth without filtering them first, and she blushed and quickly added, "Not that I'm quite ready for sex yet! But we do seem to be going in that direction fairly quickly, so… it's probably good to be prepared."

Being the master of short attention spans and abrupt topic changes, Natsu wasn't fazed at all by her sudden announcement. Instead, he sat up – suddenly full of energy and excitement – and said with one of his big, sunny grins, "Yeah! That's a great idea, Luce! Why don't we do that now?"
