Chapter Three

Happy woke first and knew something good had happened that night after he'd gone to sleep. He always found them in the same bed in the morning except for days they had to go home for clothes. They usually were not wrapped up like they were now though. Trying to be as quiet as possible, he opened Lucy's fridge to grab a fish she kept especially for him. Natsu's eyes found his when the blue Exceed closed the fridge gently and smiled. Happy gave his friend a thumbs up and flew out the open window.

"I'm going to find Carla. I'll see you later. It's about time Natsu," Happy smiled at the new couple and left to head towards the guild.

Natsu pressed a kiss gently to Lucy's forehead as his friend flew away. She rustled slightly, but only slipped her arm across his waist as the cool breeze drifted in from the window left open by the Exceed. He twirled her blond hair around his fingers as he watched her sleep peacefully against his bare chest. Why hadn't he done this sooner? The woman sleeping against his chest was exactly what he'd always been looking for and he wanted to shout from the rooftops that she was his. He laid in bed twirling her hair in his fingers for another hour before she finally stirred awake. She smiled up at him and leaned up to press a kiss to his lips.

"Morning," She whispered.

"Morning," He replied, smiling and kissing her again as he swept his tongue in her mouth and pushed his hands under her shirt.

She kissed him passionately back until it became clear she needed to use the bathroom. She gently pulled away and pecked his cheek. "Hold that thought. Be right back."

She ran to the bathroom and took her time, letting her heart calm although she didn't think it would. How had she ever thought he didn't feel the same? His courage last night warmed her heart as did his words. She wanted to take this slow, but in her heart she knew that this was the right thing after last night. She wanted everything with him and now she knew he did too. As she stood at the sink washing her hands then her teeth she looked at herself in the mirror. His t-shirt came to mid-thigh on her covering the shorts she was wearing completely. After placing the toothbrush back in the cup next to his spare she gently lifted the shirt and pulled both her shorts and underwear down her legs and kicked them off to the side. The shirt fell back to mid-thigh to cover what she'd just made bare and her heart picked up even faster as she opened the bathroom door to join him again in the bed he hadn't left.

"You ok? I heard your heartbeat pick up a second ago," Natsu reached for her as she climbed into the bed.

She nodded as she threw her leg over his waist. Of course his Dragon Slayer senses had picked that up. One of his hands rubbed across her thigh and before his other could settle, she gripped it and brought it under the shirt and down to where she was completely bare. And now slick with desire. He gasped and shot his gaze back up to her, a question in his eyes.

"Are you sure? I don't want to push you to anything you're not ready for," He whispered as his thumb brushed against her inner thigh causing a shiver to run through her body.

"Yes, I'm sure. I realized this morning that we've basically been together all this time. You're my forever Natsu and I'll fight for this. For us," Lucy leaned down and pressed her forehead to his. "Make love to me Natsu."

All the breath left his chest at once and he reached for her lips. The hand she'd placed at her core softly brushed against her folds which had grown very wet and slick with her desire. They both had never done this before, but it was like he knew exactly what to do as long as she was with him. He ran his thumb across her folds and felt the shiver that ran through her whole body. Lucy lifted his shirt up and over her head revealing her breasts to him not necessarily for the first time, but definitely for the first time as lovers. He pressed kisses down her neck until he reached her left breast. He pulled her nipple into his mouth, sucking and gently pulling the bud before giving the same attention to the other breast. She threw her head back with a husky sigh at the sensation his tongue was creating. Her breath hitched in her throat when she felt one of his fingers delicately push into her folds.

"Oh god Luce," Natsu hoarsely whispered. "You're so wet. Does this feel good?"

"Yes…oh Natsu please," She leaned forward and gripped his ear gently between her teeth before dropping her forehead to his shoulder as he started pumping his finger in and out. Her heart started beating even faster as the sensations started coursing through her. Natsu pushed another finger into her and continued pumping them in and out.

"Is this ok?" Natsu asked. He'd never done this before and wanted to make sure her first time was as perfect as she'd always dreamed it to be.

"Oh god Natsu. Yes, yes please keep going," Lucy would probably feel embarrassed later, but at the moment all she cared about was the pressure building inside her waiting to break free. His thumb brushed against her clit, likely by accident when she looked back later, but that was enough to make her moan out in pleasure. He smirked and purposely pressed against it again while keeping his fingers pumping and felt her clench around them as the pressure snapped like a rubber band and a deep moan mixed with his name spilled from her lips.

He sought her lips in a crushing kiss as her body slacked now that her first orgasm had rippled through her body. He pulled his fingers back and gripped her waist tightly as his erection throbbed at what they'd just done together. She felt the tip of that erection press against her slick folds and pulled back slightly so she could reach for the drawer of her nightstand. The package she pulled out made her cheeks flush remembering when Levy had gifted them to her after finding out she was pregnant. She pulled out a condom from the package and handed it to him breathing a brief sigh of relief when he took it from her confidently. Those Dragon Slayer ears must have heard things at the guild growing up.

Natsu tugged his shorts down his legs, kicked them to the floor then slipped the condom over his hard erection and gripped her hips in his hands again. "If I'm hurting you just say so, ok?"

Lucy nodded, but didn't worry. She knew this man would protect her from anything whether that be physical pain or emotional pain. She took a deep breath as his large erection slowly entered her slick folds to fill her completely. Releasing a deep sigh she dropped her forehead to his as he stayed still to allow her to adjust to his size.

"Wow," He whispered with a smile. "You feel amazing Luce."

"So do you," She pressed a kiss to his temple and smiled with a sparkle in her brown eyes. "I'm ready Natsu."

The feeling wrapping between both of them was growing and building with each roll of their hips. He wrapped his arm around her waist and flipped them so her back was pressed into the mattress as his weight settled above her. His lips fused to her neck and he settled what seemed even deeper inside her with the change in position. As he continued moving, tingles started in both of them.

"Natsu, I'm so close," Lucy whispered as she clung desperately to his upper arms.

"Me too," He smiled down at the gorgeous woman below him. "Come with me."

He rubbed his thumb against her clit which sent her falling over the edge, the spasms sending him right along with her. He fell to the pillow next to her so his weight wouldn't crush her and pulled her close.

"Lucy," He whispered with a blinding smile on his face as they laid with their foreheads touching and arms wrapped around each other. "That was incredible. You're so beautiful. Are you ok?"

"More than ok," She smiled back just as brightly. She pressed her lips to his in a brief, but loving kiss. She tucked herself into his side as a happy sigh escaped. "Let me rest a bit. Then I have more fantasies to try."

"Oh yea! I'm fired up now," Natsu exclaimed as he wrapped her up in his arms.
