Atmospheric Escapades

Stardress story- Libra. Part of the Heavenly Bodies Multi-chapter Server collaboration found here: /works/19034902

Note: Since Libra is not one of Lucy's keys, this will be a Concubine AU fantasy using the idea of a transformation magic. Prince Natsu of Kelekona has come to prize his favorite concubine. Lucy provides everything he needs both in and out of bed. But after 2 years, Lucy fears he is growing tired of her company and devises a way to spice things up and lighten their bedroom activities... literally...

Life was pretty good in the Kelekona Sovereignty for Prince Natsu. His father, King Igneel ruled the lands with a mighty army but an even hand which brought peace and prosperity to all that lived within its borders. He was raised to take over some day, trained for battle, schooled by the finest tutors, and given all that he desired…. Including the highest quality of concubines.

These women came from all over the Kingdom and sometimes territories that fell to Kelekona's military might. Unlike some harems in other Kingdoms, Prince Natsu's lived in the lap of luxury. Yes, the woman needed to service his needs whenever he called upon them, but most of their time was spent enjoying life. They were provided fine linen's, bountiful delicacies, and even allowed to educate themselves. The King and Prince realized that if the subjects were happy, there would be less strife to deal with.

Of these concubines, Natsu most certainly had a favorite. Lucy of the Heartfilia's had been born into nobility and raised with an air of refinement. Her mother had taught her well, and Lucy was versed in both magic and physical prowess. It had been a sad moment when her father had given her away to the House of Dragneel after her mother's passing in order to gain more leverage in the merchant guild. But Lucy took it in stride, adapting to castle life fairly quickly and while her role initially had been as the young Princess' lady-in-waiting, once falling under the eye of the Prince, she was sent to the harem.

Catering to the Prince was not as difficult as Lucy assumed it would be. Natsu was very sweet and gracious and once he opened up, there was a silly side that became very endearing. Of course, it helped that he was one of the handsomest men Lucy had ever seen. Well-built with a tanned, sinewy frame. His prowess in bed had Lucy reeling and craving for more every time. She kept him satiated, and he left her breathless but sore by morning.

For a couple of years this carried on unimpeded. Lucy was his top concubine and if she played her cards right, the first in line to follow him to the throne. As one would expect, this was well known to the others in the harem and there was a bit of jealousy. Within six months of her arrival, Natsu had stopped seeing any of the other concubines. She was with him so often, that his bed had practically become hers too.

It was comfortable having Lucy at his side. Nights were less lonely, winter's warmer with the heat of their bodies combined. Sometimes, when the stresses of his position were bringing him down, Lucy became a confidant. With her background, she was no mere peasant that couldn't understand what he was going through. She knew her place, never providing a governing attitude, but she could also hold an educated conversation.

Natsu lays back with his arms behind his head after another pleasurable romp with Lucy. She cuddles to his side, her eyes heavy with sleep. "You know you're my favorite, right?" he asks.

"Mmhmm," Lucy purrs.

"I really like having you in my bed."

Lucy's eyes pop open. She could tell there was something wrong with this. His words held a hidden meaning, but one she dared not question. "I like being with you too my liege."

Natsu grunts and kisses her forehead, a signal to the end of his conversation.

While he promptly fell asleep, Lucy's mind kept her awake. What could he possibly be trying to tell her? Why did he feel the need to remind her of her place? Lucy replays their last few weeks together looking for any clues that could tell her if something were amiss. But everything seemed fine. Natsu appeared to be happy, if he wasn't, he would have sent her away. Unless he wasn't as content anymore.

The startling revelation made Lucy's stomach churn. If that was the problem, she could lose her place at his side, possibly even the chance of being a Queen. That may sound selfish, but it was better than being sent back to becoming a nobody. Concubines were forbidden to have relations with any other males. Some satisfied their urges with other females, while others catered to themselves. But after enjoying the pleasures of someone like Natsu, Lucy knew no other could hold a candle.

And besides, there was another problem brewing, one that she refused to acknowledge to anyone even herself. Lucy had grown too fond of the Prince…. It was something they as concubines had been counseled against. Show him affection, but never gain an affinity for him or their hearts would only be broken. That made sense. Treat him like a toy just as they in station were considered to be in order to keep their sanity. It was easier said than done considering the amount of time Lucy spent with him.

She closes her eyes and prays for a solution…

When Lucy awakens the next morning, Natsu had already left for his daily duties. Deep down she knew that. Lucy knew his routine by heart and yet, why was there a slight sting in her heart? There was only one other person she could confide her fear in so, she readies herself for the day. As her afforded permission allowed, Lucy did not have to return to the harem quarters but was free to walk the grounds.

She searches for her closest friend, one of the Princess' tutors. Levy McGarden was young but considered to be brilliant in literary and linguistic prose. The two had bonded over their love of reading and sure enough, Lucy finds the girl nose deep in a book in the library.

They make small talk for a while, catching up on castle gossip and other little things like the weather or latest events till the subject of bedroom romps come up. Lucy fiddles with her fingers in her lap gaining a raised eyebrow from the tutor.

"You gonna tell me or am I going to have to pull it out of you?"

"Well," Lucy fidgets and adjusts in her seat. She looks around to make sure no one else is nearby, then leans in whispering. "Last night the P asked me if I knew I was his favorite and told me he liked having me in his bed."

"And that's a bad thing?" Levy chuckles, "sounds like he was just expressing his enjoyment with you."

"True, but…. Well, I don't know why but it just didn't sound like his usual banter." Lucy slumps her shoulders. "It could just be anxiety, but what if he's growing tired of me…" She closes her eyes and exhales, "you know how I feel about him Lev."

Levy puts her hand on her friend's shoulder, "Oh, Lu, I know it's tough being in your position but maybe you could try asking him in a subtle manner?" Lucy shakes her head vigorously, 'no.' Levy sighs, "okay, well if you won't talk to him…" she taps her chin, looking up slightly with a head tilt, "maybe change things up, make it exciting again. If he is growing bored, that would bring him back to your side."

Lucy looks to her friend, eyes flashing with something in mind, "that's not a bad idea! Do something no other could do and show him why I deserve to stay at his side." She hugs her friend tightly, "Thank you, Levy!"

"Of course," Levy hugs her back. "Then give me all the juicy details later," she winks.

"You are too much!" Lucy laughs, "I need to find you some action too."

"No need," the tutor responds with a blush, "I've been spending time with one of the soldiers."

"Oh, ho! Someone needs to spill!"

"Well, his nickname is the iron giant and let me tell you," Levy snickers, "he is definitely a giant…"

It must have been a rough day for Natsu, for when he'd returned to his bedroom after dinner he looked absolutely frustrated. Apparently, one of the neighboring territories wanted to renege on a treaty they'd signed, and his father may need to send him and an entourage to go deal with it. The King logically felt this was a good opportunity for the Prince to practice diplomacy and while it wasn't wrong, it was still annoying to the young man. He didn't mind the reason, but this particular territory would take a week by horseback just to reach the border.

In order to help him unwind, Lucy prepared a warm bath for the Prince which she herself took liberty in bathing him. She soothed away the stresses, massaging and kneading the knots that had built up. While he talked, she listened. Assuring him that all would work out in the end. Her gentle words seemed to lull Natsu into a better mood for by the end, he was leaning back against her, surrounded by the steaming warmth and encircled by her arms.

Natsu lifts her hand to his lips, placing a kiss against her knuckles. "You're getting really good at pampering me," he chuckles.

"Is it too much my liege?"

"No…"

"Then I shall continue consoling and lifting your spirits."

He chuckles, "and I look forward to reaping my rewards."

They sit in companionable silence for several more minutes before Natsu sighs, explaining that he had promised to play cards with Gray Fullbuster and a couple of other nobles. He really wasn't in the mood, but a round or two couldn't hurt.

Maybe he will win, Lucy coaxes, she will simply wait for him to return. "I have a surprise for you my liege, so please do not drink too heavily or it may ruin it."

Natsu's eyebrow raises, "a surprise you say," he grins, "a new bedroom game perhaps?"

She shakes her head, "not a game, but I promise you will enjoy it."

He kisses her hand again, "then I shall kick their ass' and return in haste!"

True to his word, Natsu returns within a couple of hours still in good spirits. He had drunk not a drop of malt and won one of the two rounds he had played. When he spies Lucy lying on her side nude, his eyes drink in the more delectable potion. Naked all but for a key nestled from a chain against her bosom. Natsu licks his lips, scanning every inch of curve the woman sported. He growls with a smirk, "tis my surprise?"

Lucy slinks off the bed and sashays toward him, letting her hips sway, her eyes half lidded. She runs a finger down his chest, "did I ever tell you I know magic?" He shakes his head no. "My mother taught me a few things before her passing and one of those gifts may serve well in spicing things up."

She turns around and removes the chain, then holds the key to her heart and utters a few words in a language Natsu never heard of. And before his very eyes, Lucy is bathed in a golden light. He watches in awe as her hair weaves upwards into a split bun style. A green dress-like outfit materializes cloaking her body. A haltered top with a skirt that's split along the side-seams all the way to her hip. Finally, a tattoo of a symbol appears on her arm.

It was a style of clothing Natsu didn't recognize from any of the known Kingdoms. A very sexy one at that but still, he frowns, what was so fun about clothes, wasn't the point to have it off?

Lucy chuckles lightly at his disappointment. "It won't be staying," she assures him, "just necessary to get the magic started."

"Don't tease me woman," Natsu growls, "this better be good."

Without paying him any heed, Lucy slithers her hands up his chest, along the sides of his throat, until weaving into his hair. She lets her slightly-curled fingers rake gently through and when they reach the back of his head, Lucy tilts it down to her level to covet his lips. Slow and tender their mouths mold against one another. Lucy slides her tongue along the seam teasing her entry.

Natsu allows her to do as she pleases, while his hands rest against her barren hips. Hints of strawberry lip balm assail his taste buds yet it's the scent of Juniper that kindly assaults his nose. It was her natural scent, and one that triggered a strike to his groin. Natsu didn't know why and he'd never told her how much it affected him, but he had forbidden her from masking it with perfuming agents since their first meeting.

She unbuttons his shirt, letting it slide to the floor, then works away at his trousers. Lucy had made sure Natsu had not worn any undergarments after bathing and his loafers would be easy to remove as well. It was all a part of her plan, and it was coming along smoothly. She maneuvers him closer to the bed but keeps him standing along the edge. She trails her kisses while lowering herself slowly over his chest, teasing and worrying his nipples, one side, the other into hardened little tabs.

Further Lucy makes her way, sucking gently and leaving light blemishes along his tanned skin. She peers up every few seconds to see Natsu's expressions, only to find him watching her intently. She grins as she slips his pants down, watching him watching her with bated breath lower her mouth to his cock. Lucy grips onto his thigh, one hand controlling his shaft as she flattens her tongue against his flesh. Starting from his balls, she licks upwards, coating and lubricating along the way.

Even knowing what was about to happen, Natsu is still unprepared. The breath that he'd held came out in a gasp when she sucked one ball and then the other into her mouth. He places a hand on her head to keep balance and as much as his eyes want to close from overstimulation, he forces it to stay open. His breathing narrows as he watches what Lucy was doing to him. "So… sexy…" he growls, he loved watching her take him in.

Once sufficiently lubricated, she takes the whole shaft into her mouth while her hand settles around the base. Lucy keeps her tongue flat as she moves her mouth up and down, pressuring his shaft with her lips, and making sure to stroke the sensitive nerve bundles just under the tip. When she reaches the top, she swirls her tongue around the head, before diving back for more. Over and over Lucy repeats the efforts, but every so often, she moves her hand away from the base and takes the entire length in until the very tip hits the back of her throat.

Natsu's body jerks each time it happens. Watching her take him in was undeniably provocative. Feeling those jarring hits against his head… The way her tongue titillated his flesh…. It only made him greedy for more! Lucy was using her mouth in such a way that it felt as though he was fucking her sex. His hips rocked of their own volition and so keeping her hand on his thigh was a measure of controlling this action.

Lucy knew Natsu's body well by this point and she could pick up on all of the subtle changes. When she felt his shaft swelling and ribbing, she slowed a bit, when the ridges smoothed down, she sped up, all in an effort to stave off his orgasm. He groaned in frustration when she slowed her pace, but she wanted tonight to last.

After about the third time, Natsu can't take it anymore. "Stop teasing me woman." He grits his teeth. "Do it again… and I shall make you pay dearly."

She grins, sucking his cock back into her mouth then releasing the head with a pop. But, before he could reprimand her for stopping, Lucy simply adjusts her position, raising up slightly on her knees, then takes him in again. If he wanted his end, then fine, she would give it to him. She keeps her mouth stationary and her tongue over the head. Her hands squeeze the shaft and starting at a gingerly pace swiftly increases. Lucy jerks her hand up and down along the shaft, harder… faster…. Her tongue taps the head or swirls around it counter to the other motions.

"Fuck…" Natsu screws his eyes shut. He could feel the rising pressure building back up rapidly. All those earlier priming's coming back with a swift vengeance.

The final stage she could recognize was signaling his impending climax. The ribbing wasn't just smoothing out, but his shaft lengthened slightly, and the head shrunk a bit. It was prepping to fire. His groans had changed in octave and his breathing grew haggard. Then with a twitch of his hips and his head listing, Lucy sinks her mouth a little fuller over, just in time as Natsu's seed spills. She pulses his cock with her lips, palpitating through the waves and milking him softly.

His light jerks are only echoed by moans through Lucy's oral massage. She was too good…. Too damn good! It was only after his high was coming down that he'd realized the tight grip he'd had on her hair. "S-Sorry…" Natsu sputters and releases his fingers.

Lucy stands up and caresses his cheek, "my liege need not be sorry." She smiles and takes his hands, placing them back near her waist. With nimble fingers, she moves his until they tangle within the ribbons holding her skirt. "Free me," her half-lidded smile and purr demands.

"With pleasure." There was nothing else flowing through his mind than his desire to disrobe the goddess standing before him. Did this woman have any idea the spell she'd cast, her affects, or how much he…. She made him feel whole.

Natsu pulls the strings allowing the skirt to tumble around Lucy's ankles. Of course, she wasn't wearing underwear. All that remained below the waist, was a golden garter around her left thigh. He smirks, just one more piece of fabric to go, the haltered top straining to hold up Lucy's bountiful cleavage with just thin strings pulled behind her neck and back. Easy work to free her, but there was something else he wanted first. A taste…

He kneels down, grinning the whole way as his eyes track her expressions. If she'd had a plan of what she wanted to do, Natsu had no qualms about derailing them for his own satisfaction. And by the looks of things, from the little quibble in her lip to the slight tilt of her head, she was wondering what he was doing. His hands snake their way along her long, lithe legs, so smooth and supple under his touch. He kisses along the skin, peppering the flesh with little nibbles, and enjoying the rippling reactions.

"What are you doing Natsu?" Lucy moans as he sucks close to her core. She was the one supposed to be pleasuring him, but he was sending her mind into a tailspin.

It was a travesty that he hadn't done this sooner. Lucy took care of him well beyond her station really dictated and it was his growing attachment to her that made Natsu realize, he wanted to return the favor. He needed to show her… and taste her forbidden fruit. Would it end him? Suck him down the rabbit hole to where there was no going back? Natsu was ready to take that leap of faith.

"What I want to," Natsu mumbles, seconds before spreading her legs wider, and clamping down on her center. With his mouth open wide, the Prince dives in, running his tongue between her legs to lap up the overflowing juices leeching out.

"P-Prince…" her head lolls back and knees buckle. The prince has never gone down on her before! Every nerve in her body tingled with each pass he makes. Lucy's hand falls onto his shoulder to keep herself from falling backwards. Dear mercy! She looks down briefly as Natsu's hands grip to her ass and pulls her forward, then her eyes squeeze shut again to milk every sensation. His fingers start to tickle at her entrance, while his tongue and lips suckle her clit, growing rougher with each pass.

"Nat—su, no…" Lucy squeezes her legs as the heat between them intensifies.

"Yes…" he rumbles. But her legs are starting to fold and weaken the closer her impending climax builds. Sensing it, Natsu prompts Lucy backwards until she falls onto the bed. He continues pushing, rutting at her to move up higher into a comfortable spot because he had no intentions of stopping until she came.

Lucy writhes under his touch, every roll of his tongue or nip showing her stars. This wasn't in her plans, but she was powerless to stop him with her so close to losing it. She squeezes her eyes shut and screams his name as a white-hot flash takes her vision away. "Prince!" A massive orgasm unlike any she's ever had, rocks Lucy's body. Her muscles lock up, relax, pulsing like waves crashing over and over against the shoreline, legs clamping around Natsu's head like a vice.

He pulls free, snaking his body over hers as it continues to shiver and tingle from overstimulation. Natsu licks the excess sap from his grinning lips, proud of the accomplishment. It was the best reaction he's ever received from any concubine. Though he's never driven this hard before to gain one. He comes to rest between her legs, pinning her hips down with his pelvis. When his rock-hard cock rubs against her sensitive core, Lucy shivers involuntarily. Noticing the reaction, he rubs against her again, pulling a throaty whine and another shiver from the blonde. God, he was loving her response!

Natsu slips his hand behind her back and pulls the strings free to release her breasts. "Don't need this…" he slides the halter off, "anymore." He leans close to her ear, running his tongue along its edge. "Are you ready…." He pushes down with his pelvis, "for more?"

"Yes…" Lucy breathes out, groaning and arching her back. Her pussy was still painlessly throbbing and heated from the orgasm the Prince had just given her, but she wanted to be filled by him now! They were back on track, if she could just refocus her thoughts to pull off the spell she was planning to use. "Make love to me my Prince," she mewls.

"Tis my honor…" 'my…' He slips in unimpeded, letting her body arch and mold against his as he leans into it. He closes his eyes, letting their bodies meld and guide their movements. He wanted to feel every sensation to his core like a blind man reading braille and gaining the wonders of the universe through his hands. A feeling of completion filters over his soul, she was a perfect fit for him in every way. All such thoughts trickle through his mind one after the other as they entwines their bodies together. Smart… Honorable…. Loyal… Beautiful…. Poised with aristocracy yet spice for bedroom games. Lucy both tantalized his mind and heart while titillating his loins. Her string of murmuring vagueness are like a melody to his ear. She's just… "Perfect…" he breathes out. It was almost as if their romance lightened his very soul.

"Do not be afraid when you open your eyes, my Prince," Lucy whispers. "But we are under my spell now."

Such a strange utterance breaks Natsu free of his thoughts. He pauses from suckling on her breast as his eyes pop open. "What in Kelekona!" Startled, Natsu props himself up briefly before looking at Lucy with a mixture of fear and shock.

"Do not fear," Lucy caresses his cheek, her eyes softening, tis only a weightless magic."

He looks around puzzled and nervous. "But we're on the ceiling!"

"Aye," she purrs, "our bodies are free of the pressure that holds us down. We are safe, I assure you. I would never place either of us in danger. But if it is too strange, I will take us back to the bed."

Natsu pauses a moment. It was very much strange and beyond comprehension… yet… this woman's prowess just increased ten-fold in his eyes. Was there anything Lucy could not do?

Lucy rolls her hips, locking her legs further around his thighs. "I shall do as my liege requests."

He groans at her movement, the hip roll sinking his cock in deep within her heated chamber where it preferred to be. Whether on a floor, or bed, or apparently the ceiling, as long as she was safely in his arms, perhaps it didn't matter. "Nay, I trust you," he whispers with a thrust of his own hips.

"Mmm," she purrs, coveting his lips. "Shall we continue then?"

She didn't have to ask twice.

A renewed excitement permeates Natsu's groin. He was making love to a beautiful woman on a fucking ceiling! No one would believe him, but that didn't matter. She was his to never share with anyone, and that brought a wave of territoriality to the Prince. Down the rabbit hole he goes. Natsu dives right into where he'd left off, crushing her breast, sucking, and pulling the supple flesh of nipple into his mouth. His hands grip to her thigh, raising it slightly to thrust harder, reach deeper in long plunges.

The harder surface of the ceiling was putting pressure on his knees, and he assumed it didn't feel great on her back, not that she was complaining. 'Note to self to have padding added above the bed.' Natsu refocuses on every moan he was pulling out of Lucy. He loved all the sounds she made during sex. It was the fuel that swelled his ego.

Harder she begs, arching her back to give him every inch of possibility. Her hands caress his frame, smoothing over the sinewy flesh and exploring all the flexing muscles. She lets her hands glide over his chest, his shoulders to his back, then trails her nails with a bit of pressure. It took willpower not to mar his skin and leave proof of their romps. Maybe one day….

More moans leach out from Lucy as Natsu increases his rocking motion. She wanted harder, so she was going to get it. He lifts her legs over his shoulders, sitting up in the process to stretch her. His hands grip onto her pelvis for leverage. As he thrusts roughly, Lucy cries out for more. Natsu's powerful thighs acting as pistons, his hips the springs, over and over the onslaught continues. Her hands fly above her head. There's nothing to grab onto, so she bites down on her lips as the coil building her belly tenses.

"I'm…" he was almost there. The pressure back filling his cock was on the verge of blowing. His head tips back as he grips onto her thighs for dear life, rocking harder and harder. He squeezes his eyes shut seconds before his mind blanks out and a rush of his seed spills into her. Natsu stops moving, keeping his cock pushed as far into Lucy as possible while the pulsing echoes and her walls milk every inch of him. "Holy fuck!"

After a minute, Natsu slowly opens his eyes to find Lucy smiling dreamily back up at him. His breathing slows and he lowers himself to cuddle her into his arms. It was only then that he realizes they were back on the bed.

"You were amazing tonight, my Prince," she purrs.

Natsu buries his face against the crook of her neck. "No more than you, my love."

'My love?!' Lucy tries to turn her cheek to get a better look at Natsu, but he uses his head to keep her from doing so. Her fingers clench to his shoulder.

He kisses the nape of her neck, letting his lips linger, knowing that she had just heard him say something he'd never said to her before. "Yes," Natsu finally answers her growing anxiety, "I told you last night you're my favorite…. Because… I love you." With his eyes closed tight, face still buried against one side of her neck, and his hand curled lightly against the other side, he feels Lucy's body tense up but continues expressing all the thoughts that have been plaguing him for months.

"You've always taking well care of me Lucy, and if by false pretense, I could never tell it were so. I know the concubines are counselled not to fall in love…. So, I cannot blame you if that be the case, but what if I have been the one to fall? It pains my heart to think you may not feel the same way I feel..." Natsu feels Lucy's hand clench on his chest and her body lightly shaking. He finally shifts and looks over to see her eyes closed tightly with beads of tears gathering along the seam. Fearing he's upset her, Natsu sits up and bundles her quickly against him. "Please tell me what's wrong Lucy?!"

The tears explode forth unable to stay sealed any longer. Her body trembles, and yet there is a small smile on her face. "I-I'm sorry my Prince for I'd shared those fears for so long… telling myself over, and over, that tis my job nothing more, even though it hurt to shield my heart, but now to learn you feel the same…" Lucy finally opens her eyes, smiling brighter than he's ever seen her smile, "it's like the gods have granted their mercy. I love you too, Prince Natsu."

Natsu's full demeanor lights up at the revelation, and tears of his own cloud his vision. He plants kiss upon kiss, peppering and cradling her face in joy, coming to rest with their foreheads against one another's. "We need not fear any longer." He lets out a long exhale as if the weight of the world was now lifted from his shoulders… and hers. "You are mine, and I am yours." He sits back, wiping the drying tears from her eyes. "The harem will be disbanded tomorrow, and when I return from the reconnaissance trip, we will begin plans for the wedding because I wish to not wait any longer to make things official." Natsu places a soft kiss on her lips. "Is that satisfactory?"

Lucy hesitates. "Will the King approve… of me?"

"He has already given us his blessing…"
