Author's Note: This is one of those moments that definitely called for the Mature rating on this story. It's also definitely not suitable for work. I just figured I would warn you right now. :)

Even though, she hinted at wanting him too. Even though, she claimed she was ready. Natsu still felt on edge, and the built up had him hesitating. So, instead he kept back a few feet from her. He clenched and unclenched his fists tightly. He wanted to claim her, he needed it, but he didn't want to scare her with his ferocious nature.

He watched as she gazed upon him with her chocolatey brown orbs. Her hands hesitantly reached behind her to slowly unzip her dress. His eyes became wide as she pulled the garment from her body and let it fall at her feet. He snorted a puff of smoked as he took in her red undergarments. "Luce, you are shaking a red flag in the face of a bull right now. I am trying to be good over here. With you looking like that though, how can I keep myself from attacking?"

Lucy didn't really understand. Didn't she already tell him that she wanted him also? Perhaps, not in so many words but the intent was there. It's possible he just needed some motivation. It didn't take long for her to conjure up a clever idea. "Then, let's play a game Natsu."

A game? What the hell!? She wanted to play a game at a time like this? She walked over to him and pushed his open shirt off of his arms to let it pool at his feet. "This game requires a little less clothing."

Natsu stood as still as he could when he felt her hands caress his shoulders. He couldn't afford to touch her quite yet. He wasn't sure what he would actually do. Between his desires and his idiotic nature he found himself even more baffled at what she could be planning. "This seems like one weird kind of game. What exactly are you planning, Luce?"

"You said you don't trust yourself not to go into a frenzy." She pulled his scarf off of his body and laid it on a dresser nearby. "If we lay down some ground rules we can play until we need to take it a step further. The first rule is:" she was a tad nervous but more from anticipation then anything else so she boldly reached behind herself to unclasp her bra and let it fall to join her dress, "only clothing below the waist worn. So, Natsu, I'm afraid you are going to have to get rid of that shirt."

Natsu felt his hands wanting to reach out of their own accord. He itched to touch her glorious breasts. Her nipples responded in kind as they pebbled. It was as if her breasts were searching for his hands all on their own. Before he knew it he had ripped his t-shirt over his head. He discarded it and threw it who knew where. He didn't really care at this point. He still forced himself to stay two steps away from her.

Lucy licked her suddenly dry lips. She had of course seen him without his shirt several times before. It was so different to see him without it and know that starting tonight she could touch the glorious expanse of muscle without reservation. "The second rule is we get to explore each other in this state. No other clothing gets removed until neither of us can stand it any longer."

Somehow setting up these rules gave Natsu the strength to drive back his itch to claim her. He wasted no time closing the gap between them. He first had to taste those soft petal pink lips. Would they taste like the strawberries and vanilla mixture she constantly smelled of? His velvety lips crushed against hers, and he didn't hesitate to explore the depths of her mouth with his tongue. He wrapped his arms around her back and pulled her tightly against him. She moaned in approval and he felt it vibrate in his chest, the sensation of that vibration made him grow even harder. He needed to touch her and with how her pebbled nipples kept gliding against the planes of his chest he knew he would be exploring those sharpened points in depth.

A veiled growl built in his throat as he picked her up. With a cry of surprise he threw her on the bed and pushed her back into the mattress fitting his own body tightly against her. She nipped at his lips. "Third rule, we remove the rest of our clothing ourselves. I don't want this lingerie to be set aflame."

Natsu found his lips curling up in consideration. That was definitely an idea to consider in the future. "I wouldn't do that. I rather like this set."

Lucy nodded at him. Then she felt shy as she realized she needed to confess something. "I hoped you would. I picked it with you in mind."

Natsu smirked at her. He lazily stroked her arm. "How long ago was that, Luce? Hmm?"

She blushed. He didn't need to know it was sometime after the non date and before the Grand Magic Games. It was one of those just in case sort of purchases. "Never you mind that." She pulled him back to her. He kissed her fiercely. He was sure her lips were swollen and bruised already with his onslaught but he just didn't have the state of mind to care. He trailed kisses against her jawline following a path along her neck. She moaned in the back of her throat.

Lucy's arousal scent began to strongly permeate within the room. He breathed deep through his nostrils, almost tasting her flavor on the air, and then arched an eyebrow. "Luce?" He cupped her breast.

"Hmm?" she asked. She knew he was about to ask something but she hoped it wasn't an overly difficult question. She wasn't completely cognizant at the moment. All she wanted to do was keep feeling this bliss and this desire.

He rubbed his nose against her ear, nuzzling it affectionately. "You smell delicious, but different."

She shifted to look directly at him and blushed brightly. "Probably because you are turning me on you so much."

He grinned at that. He already knew he was making her feel good but for her to admit it aloud had him wanting to beat his chest. "No, no Luce I know that. I've honestly smelt the scent of your arousal before, er when you were drunk the other night. I do still smell that scent. But I don't know, it seems...well....just more."

"Natsu, if you are able to put together coherent thoughts I must not be doing enough." After that she lunged at him, her own mouth latching onto his neck. He hissed. Unfortunately this was a bad idea today he immediately realized and pushed her back down. For some reason the spot on her collarbone looked delectable to him so kissed it delicately and tentatively traced the tip of his tongue against it. It was time for a bit more exploration. He traveled his kisses further south on her body. He teased her with kisses against her breast bone. His fingertips following the path his lips took. He hesitantly grazed his against the underside of her breasts.

Lucy was sick of the coy tentative teasing. He needed to touch her breasts more directly. She arched her back so her breast was in more of a direct path of his touch. "Natsu...please..."

"Please what Luce?"

"More, I want more."

"Like this Luce?" He huffed out a small breath over her left nipple before taking it into her mouth and sucking at her. So as not to hurt her with his sharp pointy fangs he nipped gently. She writhed beneath him.

Lucy reached for him and stroked down the panels of his abs. He hissed in a breath as scale patterns formed along his face and his teeth became even sharper.

"Dragon force..." Lucy hesitantly whispered.

"Yeah Luce, this is part of my body's preparation to claim you. Do I scare you?"

She cupped his cheek. "How could you? I love you."

Natsu nudged her legs apart so he could rest himself more directly against her core. He wanted to share with her what she was doing to him. He didn't want her to but he was also in his actions giving her one last opportunity to turn away.

When his erection swept against her body, probing of it's own accord, she sighed. She was sure she would be nervous in this moment, and she was, but it wasn't enough that she felt she was going to change her mind. He needed to know how much she wanted this to happen tonight. How much she needed him. "Oh Natsu..."

"What is it Luce?"

"I think I'm about to break rule number three." With that she reached between them for the button of his shorts.

He pulled away quickly and stood at the foot of the bed. She frowned at him.

"Luce, I'm afraid of the frenzy if you touch me."

She pouted at him. Fine, if I can't remove his clothing then I will just have to remove my own! She kicked her legs over the side of the bed and slithered her panties down her thighs. Once they slithered off her ankles she turned her body back on the bed and knelt in the center looking him directly in the eyes. "I want you, Natsu."

He still didn't remove his shorts. Instead he pushed her back and moved in to kiss her stomach. His hands trailed down her sides to her hips. He coaxed her legs apart, and knelt further down her body. He looked at her glistening mound and salivated. He knew he wouldn't be able to feast on her there this time. But he had to touch her. It felt imperative to proceeding. He tentatively stroked one finger down her center and plunged it into her depths. She moaned and bucked against his finger which drove it further in. Her hips hiked up to widen her stance and encourage him.

He hesitantly pulled the single digit out only to come back with another. He let her hips coax the start of the rhythm until he took over himself. The wetness of her channel had him really thankful he still had his shorts on because if not he probably would have said to hell with this foreplay and thrust in her. He was even more thankful that was the case when he felt a barrier. The proof that she was only his. "Mine."

"Only yours, always Natsu. I..."

"Shh Luce, no worries. I may not have done this either but people tend to forget about a dragon slayer's heightened hearing. I have heard the mutterings of some of the girls saying how their first time sucked because it hurt so bad. I know it will hurt but I will try to make it as good as I can for you. I won't move until you, or your body tells me you are ready."

With that said he pulled away to discard the rest of this clothing. He came back and Lucy gasped. He was huge. She knew this was going to hurt, and she was terrified now. She wanted him but...

"Luce, relax. It's just me. It's only ever going to me. I will take care of you."

Lucy relaxed as his hand coaxed her shoulder. He positioned himself at her entrance. He asked her with his eyes and as she nodded he pushed himself into her. He felt her wince and kissed her. He stayed like that for a minute so her muscles stretched to accommodate him. Then he pushed passed the barrier.

She screamed her pain as tears rolled down her cheeks. Natsu kissed her tears away and tried to stay still even though his instincts were telling him to pound into her. Then he felt her hips move, as if instinctively saying the pain had ebbed away. He rolled his hips back as she stared on in wonder instead of pain. He smiled at her and kissed her cheek.

They set a pace together. He laced his fingers with hers and groaned in satisfaction. Then the frenzy started. He could no longer stop it but at least she was no longer hurting. He grunted and adjusted. His grasp pulling at her hips as he pushed into her. He felt her quiver underneath. Her eyes turned smoky and he could tell she was close. "Let go, Luce. Let go and let me see."

With that a whimpering wail echoed the walls of the room. He felt himself about to follow close behind. He closed in the space between them and bit the spot where her neck and shoulder met with his long fangs. He felt the skin rip open at the intrusion of his teeth. He also heard another whimpering wail as his bite brought her to orgasm again. Her keening cry felt like salvation as he came undone. He licked at her bite, his saliva acting as a healing agent to the punctured skin.

Natsu stayed inside her and felt something seemed...off. He moved his hips. Oh shit! He may have been brought to orgasm but his body wasn't done. He was amped for more and the frenzy could not be stopped. He wanted her deeper.

Without questioning it he pulled her legs up over his shoulders and thrust hard and deep over and over again. "Natsu..."

He looked down at the erotic sight as it pulled at his heartstrings. She was flushed with pleasure and riding the wave again. "Mmm...Natsu..."

As she came around him he lost himself again. He felt the frenzy leave his body. He pulled away from her to only pull her against him as he felt himself plunge into a dark oblivion.
