If she really wanted to dangle herself as bait before this dragon, it was entirely her choice. Natsu wouldn't hesitate to oblige. As long as the kids weren't around. It was kind of amusing in hindsight how even though they'd just become a couple, they were already dealing with problems that parents would have to after their kids stopped being toddlers.

There was one oversight in her branding of his skin with lovebites and the like. Natsu would not be hiding them if not for his scarf which he always wore. So the opportunities for the brands to be revealed were considerably more frequent. Not that it bothered Natsu. If someone asked him to climb up on top of the guild and yell that he loved Lucy, he probably would much to her mortification.

As it stood at the moment however, they both had something more intimate in mind. Something which made Natsu's hand join behind Lucy's back and stop her motions completely while he was buried deep inside of her, only allowing Lucy to roll her hips in a circle rather than that deep ecstatic thrusting from before.
