midnightstar | Happy Holidays Charlie Brown! .. oh wait wrong canon

Christmas and Thanksgiving were going to be difficult holidays for Regina and the kids. They had, for the most part, mended from the deaths of their friends, but this would also be the first Christmas slash Thanksgiving without them. So for that afternoon, she decided to let Natsu distract the kids and the dog for the time being. More than likely they were bundled up and jumping in piles of leaves outside, or begging Natsu for more demonstrations. As for herself, she went to help distract Regine with preparing food. Happily, Regina only took Lucy's bright smile for her natural demeanor and not for any other reasons.

On the other hand, Lucy hadn't been able to stop smiling since the night she and Natsu were.. er.. very intimate together. Assuming she didn't drift off into a dreamy spacey mode when she thought no one was looking. And if she actually saw him, forget it - it took everything she had not to grab him and hold him close. Heck, before that night she had difficulty keeping her eyes off him - it was more so now. SO it was probably for the best that she had something like cooking and entertaining Regine to occupy her attention.

If Regine noticed the way Lucy's conversation chatter kept turning to the topic of Natsu unconsciously, she didn't mention it, though she did seem amused for some reason. Currently the ladies were discussing options for the dinner - the kids wanted to start eating spicier food to - obviously - be more like Natsu after all.

And more growling would come as she started to slowly work away at his neck. Honestly she was so contradicting but he enjoyed it like that. No enjoy was too weak a word. Still he leaned in closer and closer, his lips roaming under her ear.

He was a contradiction in certain ways as well though. But by comparison, she.. probably was more of one. Hearing those growls though, get a delicious shiver from her as she paused between kisses at each one. Just the way he got soft, shuddering noises as he leaned in closer against her ear, "-gga-h... you.. really..." She huffed slightly, adding a little more pressure to his neck. That growling only made her want to do more, lips trailing along his throat with the barest of restraint, waning by the second.

"Really what? You're mmmm gonna have to speak up if you want me to understand you." A likely story given his sharp hearing but then that would be no fun if he didn't make her work harder for that pleasure she was drawn to like a moth to the flame. His flame.

That was a very apt description - she was utterly drawn to him, to his fire - even before she became involved with him, she couldn't stay away from him long. "I... I sai-said..." Words - she CAN put them together. Though difficult it was to form a proper sentence, using words in the right way was not easy the way he kept on. "I..if you keep doing that.." She trailed off for a few seconds with a faint gasp, nuzzling against his neck as she pulled her brain back on track.

"Making those noises ...you're going to make me want to...to do this..." Words failing her again, she brushed her tongue against the curve of his neck as she nipped him gently, then bit him a little harder.

To her credit she was better at forming sentences when under the pressure of unending pleasure. It was ironic though since the moment she nipped him and then bit him, he let out the loudest growl yet before his body pressed up against Lucy's demandingly once again. He was already starting to get hotter and hotter from the inside out. More so than usual.

It was only as long as he kept from biting -her- too. Or hit any of her particularly sensitive weak spots. Hearing that -growl- though, as loud as it was, she husked a breath against his skin, her fingers flexing against his back, groaning against him, almost as if she could sense that fire growing in him. She bit him again, alternating between gentle bites against his throat and slow kisses that trailed across to his shoulder and ended with a series of bites up his neck, wanting to hear those growls again.

He was going to have a veritable collection of love bites by the next morning. Natsu had no problem with that. It would make teasing her about them that much easier as he would simply need to tug his scarf lower when no one else was looking to remind her of how wild she'd gotten.

"Rrrr that's really getting me fired up Lucy~ Hope you're ready for another go~" Because he already was if that hardened length he sported was any clue.

He certainly was, and Lucy was going to be thorougly embarrassed when he teased her about it. "Mmm...." Wait what was that? "H..huh? Another..?" Well she certainly shouldn't be surprised the way they got each other turned on so easily and often. Not that she was going to turn him down - they did rest quite comfortably and..all.

"That's right~ Anotherrrr" he rumbled in her ear, his hand suddenly moving up along Lucy's side as he let his teeth close around her earlobe this time before sucking on it harshly as if to pay Lucy back for all of the lovely attention thus far.

She shivered at the rumble against her ear, biting her lower lip against a whimper, "Y-haah~ah..!" That time she couldn't contain that whimper of pleasure, squirming briefly and slipping her arms around him in a warm embrace as his attentions shifted to her ear, a rosey flushed color coming back to her cheeks. This was payback she could never get enough of with him.

"What's the matter~ " Oh he knew perfectly well what was the matter but teasing her about it was an opportunity he could not overlook. Why would he when it got her so worked up last time. "My princess really is weak here isn't she~" he said and nipped at her neck again this time sucking a bit harder before smoothing over it with his hot tongue.

"You knoo..kn..know......" she groaned at the feel of him attacking her neck next, her fingers pressing against his back. He knew darn well her neck was sensitive enough to get those moans out of her, "Gh.. Natsuuu...~!"

"Maybe I do~" He wasn't going to hide it. Not when she was already making so many lovely sounds. He pressed his body closer, his hand caressing over Lucy's back before moving around and kneading one breast with an obvious demand for more. Whether it was more moans or fragmented sentences, he couldn't tell. It was likely both.

Feeling him press his body closer, she stroked her hands over his back, leaning in against him to feel him pressing against her body more, only to utter another series of moans feeling his hand over her breast. "Nngh... t.. there's no... no 'maybe' to -aah.. to it..!" She whispered, half biting her lower lip. She really shouldn't question why her body - why *she* responded to his touch so keenly anymore. "Y-you..you... ah.." Trailing off a bit because she lost track what she had been saying. Give her a second.

She could have more than a second. Natsu would busy himself with playing to her body's strings with expertly acquainted plucks of his fingers and lips. Low rumbling growls came from Natsu again as his hand kneaded and played with Lucy's full breast, not bothering with her hardening nipple just yet.

She'd never tell him, but she loved the fact that he was so... thorough when they were this intimate. Instead of behaving like most men and going straight to the end-goal. Of course she'd never tell him, because she wouldn't have to - the way he made her moan, and the way her body curved up to press against his just from the feel of his warm, warm hands moving over her skin, words would never do it justice.

Of course... she had needed that second to put her thoughts together and with what he was doing, the only thing that could come out of her mouth were shallow gasps and softer moans.

That was true. He could read her body on such matters much better than he would try reading her words. His hands were already starting to feel about as hot as Lucy's body which was a testament to how she was slowly getting worked up udner his tender love and care.

"My princess, my queen~" He growled deeply like a dragon making it clear that he was going to keep her for all eternity.

For all eternity? Was that long enough? Well they already promised to search for each other in the next life, whenever that was. So that was probably counted under the 'all eternity' timeline. She blushed deeply at the sound of the growl, a sound so deep that it felt like it ran through her entire body, from toes to nose. "My dragon, my king," she murmured back in a low growl of her own, leaning up to brush her lips against his gently. "The love of my life," She was allowed to be cheesy if she meant it.

She could certainly be allowed to be cheesy. He would be plenty more in the future simply because that cheese was about the closest thing to the truth they could get to convey how strong their feelings were. Still if he wasn't busy indulging in the delights of Lucy's body he would be preening himself quite a bit after hearing her words.

"My mate. In soul and body~" Natsu answered back with a murmur filled with nothing but adoration and desire before he claimed her lips in a deeper kiss this time.

She'd probably tease him about how cheesy they sounded when they expressed their adoration for each other. On some level, she was aware of the cheesiness but as far as she was concerned, it was fact. She was his mate in soul and body, and she smiled her own version of an adored smile at him.

"I love you, Natsu Dragneel," she murmured in a tone that matched his. As he claimed her lips for a deeper kiss, she closed her arms around his neck to pull him against her, purring softly into his mouth. Feeling his touches over her body, his lips, his everything - was heaven to her, as she returned that deeper kiss with as much love and desire that she had for him, and then some.

He'd tease her right back. After all they were both being absurdly cheesy right now. That smile though. That smile could get her anything she ever wanted or needed. Not that he'd tell that to her face. Though she likely wouldn't abuse it for any nefarious ends.

She had used his full name and never did he ever say it any more enticingly than that. He led her tongue into his own mouth humming and purring into the kiss while his hand left her breast and moved back down Lucy's stomach. Seemed he was ready to make it even harder for Lucy to think.

She'd never abuse it for nefarious ends. Maybe if she was being teasingly flirty with him - not that she needed to flirt or behave any way other than herself around him. His hums were echoed by her own as her tongue curled against his, her hand idly caressing his back. His hand shifting got a slight grunt from Lucy, though no more than a faint acknowledgement that his hand was against her stomach through that slight fog of affection and desire that was blanketing them both; she might be a little more cautious if she knew he was up to something though.

Natsu arched his back almost like a cat to give Lucy's wandering hand more to work with while his own moved past her stomach and pressed right up between her legs, his fingers finding her heat with little problem while he continued to devour those lovely moans from her lips until he finally pulled away to let her breathe.

She followed the curve of his back when he arched it, her fingers touching on every part of his body that she could reach, her soft moans filtering against his mouth and his hand -- his hand was...her eyes opened in surprise when he pulled away, hazily staring at him with a flushed face, her breathing ragged as she started to catch her breath. She swallowed, blinking briefly and trying to calm her brain down enough to remember and use the letters of the alphabet. Words were useful after all~.

He didn't have to say anything. His eyes conveyed everything he would have to tell her. That flame of desire burning wildly in his gaze. His hand doesn't hesitate, pressing against her with eagerness that is only matched by the hunger of his kisses. Words had their time and place. Natsu would say this was not one of them. Not unless the word was his name.
