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.

"Mmmm you're tasty~ I almost want to eat you right up~" Natsu purred deeply before adding some weight to his words by licking a line across Lucy's neck up to right under her ear.

Lucy shuddered, not sure if it was the effect of his words or the feel of his tongue over her skin. "Hh.. N-Natsu, saying... saying things like that...." She swallowed, "..is... a little embarrassing.." Not that she disapproved. It just made her blush deeply hearing it.

"It is~?" He hummed, mischief and teasing filling his tone as he started teasing her lobe with his lips tugging lightly on it while barely containing the chuckles he could feel bubbling up from within.

"Y-Yes, it is," And that mischievous, teasing tone certainly didn't help any from that slight shiver in her voice. She could hear the amusement in his tone though, and she grinned, a soft whimper escaping when he tugged on her earlobe.

"Well it's still true~" Natsu answere cheekily before his hand pressed against Lucy's hip, pinning her in place under him for a moment as his mouth moved past her ear to press slow languid kisses to Lucy's temple and crown.

"Natsu.." She giggled softly at his cheeky response. So unapologetic, when he was like that it was too cute for words. No, not cute - she couldn't call him cute. But he had his own natural charm that she adored. She closed her eyes briefly with a smile at the feel of those kisses, her hands idly brushing along his sides lightly.

He had nothing to apologize for. Except maybe loving her so much that he kept her waiting for so long for fear of losing that. But such concerns were all in the past now. Now was the future. His future with Lucy. A future he would make with each breath he took.

His lips started to trail away from Lucy's neck over her shoulder and then slooowly lower over her chest.

He wasn't the only one to blame in that regard. Lucy was just as bad - but she would make sure to make up for that time they misunderstood each other's feelings, and then some. Her eyes opened again at the feel of his lips trailing downward, her breathing picking up slightly. It was partly him moving slowly like that that was getting her riled up, truthfully - leaving her guessing on where he would stop.

Maybe he wasn't. Maybe they both had their share of the blame. Well it didn't really change anything. Right now, Natsu could focus freely on making up for last time. So of course his next actions lacked any of that prior hesitation.

"You're warmer than any flame I've ever had~" Natsu purred as his lips slowly moved over her breast before he softly gripped one and squeezed before brushing his tongue over the crown of her breast.

She exhaled softly, "Nn...it... it's because of you... always.." She brought her hand to her forehead, "You make me hot... like I'm burning up just being with you, like this," she squirmed as much as she was able - which was only slightly with the way he had her pinned.

Feeling her squirm around under him was one of the most empowering and exciting things Natsu could think of. After all he was the reason she was so restless and that knowledge only fueled his own burning desire.

"Is that so? Maybe you should tell me what makes you burn the most then~" Yes give him more power to completely overwhelm you. He would never make Lucy regret that kind of trust.

Was giving him more power really a good idea though? Well being completely overwhelmed wasn't a bad thing. Not with him. "Y... you're already doing it.." she murmured faintly, "When I feel you touching me like that there, and more ...I .. can't think straight.."

Natsu smirked against her full orb, cupping its gently while he focused on suckling around her nipple, teasing the nub with his teeth and tongue while his other hand moved up under Lucy at the small of her back to pull her flush against him while he hummed deeply.

If she was restless before, she was more so now, her body fidgeting as he pulled her against him. Her arms automatically slipped around his neck, while she leaned her head against the top of his, her voice uttering strained whimpers and soft moans.

After a while Natsu had his fill and pulled away only to ask Lucy one thing , his tone a soft murmur of heat and love. "Turn around for me." He said, his voice brokering no opposition to his desire.

His request reminded her of the first night they were intimate together, though she'd been standing at the time. But there was no refusing that tone, even if the thought had come to her to do so. Curious, she studied his face a moment before shifting to roll onto her front, "... Like this?" she asked, glancing over her shoulder at him.

The moment she was on her back before him, Natsu laid on top of her lightly with his lips pressing up against the back of her neck while his hands moved up under her to take hold of her breasts. "Mmmm yes this is perfect~"

This was different. Different was good though, even though she couldn't really see his face too well from this position. She could imagine though, and.. it was kind of intense feeling him behind her but not seeing what he was doing. "Per.. perfect, huh?" she murmured, shivered slightly with the feel of his lips against her neck.

"Mhmmm~ Makes me think like I'm really claiming you. The last bite to the neck and everything~" Natsu growled deeply as he allows his hips to press down against Lucy's lovely rear. He was starting to have trouble holding back after everything that's happened so far.

Ohgod, that growl, made her restless, "O-oh... That... that makes sense," she huffed softly. Squirming slightly, she caught her breath as she felt him pressing against her rear, biting her lower lip. "Well ... I don't think I've said it before... or I haven't enough," she said after a moment, "But there's no one I want to do that more than you. I mean... claiming me..."

"Then it's a good thing we're on the same page~" Natsu all but purred, turning his head to the side to run his lips and fangs along the side of her neck, nibbling at parts he knew she was weakest to while his hands continued to squeeze and knead her breasts under her.

"My Lucy. My princess. My queen~ Always mine~" Natsu droned with a sultry tone.

"Nngh..." Lucy gasped softly, her voice lifting in soft whimpers, "Gh.. ah, N..Natsu..." She moaned, pressing her hands against the mattress to grip the sheets. Her voice shifting to low groans and purrs as her body shifted slightly under her him from the feel of his hands kneading at her breasts. And his voice. Oh dear sweet -GOD- that voice, he could be reading a damn phonebook and she'd be his.

"Your chest really is sensitive huh~" Natsu smirked, his lips curving against Lucy's ear before the tip of his tongue traced over the shell of her ear. He wanted to hear more and would not hesitate to use any dirty trick to make it happen. "What feels better though? My hands or my mouth~?"

He was playing SO dirty she was surprised at him! But maybe she shouldn't be, he did like taking his advantages. She wasn't sure what was more sensitive - the way he touched her got slightly different reactions from her. It was hard to come up with an answer to his question while he was touching her though, "... it--it's not possible to say what feels better over the other. Feeling... your hands always makes me warm in your arms. But your mouth.." She shivers a little. "It's... so intimate." More so than just touching her. Was 'both' an option?

The fact that she could be so articulate still demonstrated that Natsu wasn't giving it his all just yet. That being said he having a hard time choosing was rather telling in of itself. Natsu pressed up even closer, running his lips long the back of Lucy's neck, nipping right at the base.

"Hmmmm well I'll keep that in mind for later~"
