Chapter 76

With a Little Help From My Friends

.

Later that night, they were back in the hotel. Maybe it was a crash after such a high, but Gray kept clinging to Natsu, and Natsu felt more exhausted than after a long, hard fight. They both lay together, touching each other in slow, needy, exhausted caresses. Gray kept staring at the pink lines on Natsu's skin. The marks of the ropes would fade soon, only one had bruised, the one across Natsu's chest that had shifted badly. While they were still pink indents, Gray admired them. It was like he had marked Natsu all across his entire body.

"Did you really drink my pee?" Natsu suddenly asked.

Gray shook his head. "I didn't want you to smell it on my breath. I know you don't like that kink. It was nice to see you unable to stop it, but I prefer when you struggle. I think what I'd really like is you bound up, maybe like a mummy or we could get you a latex full-body suit. Mmm, I'd like that. Unable to move, to stop yourself, but you can squirm around as you feel it trickling down your legs. You really seemed unable to comprehend that you had peed at all."

"That's pretty much it," Natsu admitted quietly. "I don't recall coming either. It just happened. Everything was … hazy. I liked it, though."

Gray hummed with a sleepy smile.

"Rent that room again next time."

"Sure," Gray muttered. Oh, definitely! Freed would have to fight him for that room from now on.

Outside, the rain began to pick up, pouring down against the windows. The weather report had said it would be sunny tomorrow, but for now, the rain seemed to make staying in bed more private. It encapsulated them in gentle noise. Gray dragged his fingers over the pink lines on Natsu's arm, then leaned over to kiss the red bruise on his chest. He sank back down, as if merely that little movement was exhausting.

"I don't think I can sleep," Natsu admitted. "I feel … weird."

"Your body was flooded with hormones; you went deeper than you normally do. It's common to be exhausted but awake after that. If you feel any symptoms of sub-drop, let me know."

Natsu hummed and nodded. "Freed told me about that. I feel fine now. Tired, but my brain is replaying it over and over."

Gray smiled sleepily. "Which parts?"

"When you pulled the ropes to yank me onto your cock. I wanted you to do that with my mouth too."

"I was afraid it might be too much."

Natsu hummed. He had to admit, it might have brought up dark memories. One nice thing about their experiment with suspension was that there had been no bad flashbacks at all. All of it was good.

"I really liked it," Natsu muttered again. "Can you … just touch me?"

"Are you aroused from just remembering it? You came twice."

Natsu shrugged. Luckily, Gray did not question more. He reached down, found Natsu half hard, and began to stroke him. Natsu closed his eyes.

"I didn't realize I came back then. I want to remember it."

Gray kept stroking while Natsu closed his eyes, seemingly asleep, except that his face kept flinching with memories.

"What are you remembering?" Gray whispered as he stared, enthralled with Natsu's face.

"Flying," Natsu moaned.

His breathing was fast, his mind was a million miles away. Gray guessed Natsu was still in deep, and this was like a slow floating upward, out of subspace. He began to whimper, squirming on the bed, yet by the stiffness of his body, it was like Natsu was again bound up in ropes. He flexed his fingers, yet never moved his arms. It was invisible bondage, the memory alone accompanied by Gray's hand.

As Gray saw Natsu's skin flushing and his hips straining, he whispered, "Fly, my dragon."

Natsu moaned, soft but deeply shuddering down into his soul. Gray felt a jolt in his hand and looked down to see white wetness bursting out across Natsu's stomach. Once, Natsu had dreaded orgasm. Now, his hands were not even tied up.

He opened his eyes to see Gray, and there was a sleepy smile on his face.

"Sorry for the mess. Needed it."

Gray reached for a tissue and wiped up his hand and the splatters on Natsu's skin. "Do you feel better?"

Natsu stretched as if just now finding out he was free from the ropes. "Tired. I think I can sleep now."

They curled up again, and with the rain tapping on their window, they both closed their eyes to a deep, wonderful sleep.

Neither woke up until almost noon. By then, there was nothing visible about their erotic evening. No lines, except one elongated bruise on Natsu's stomach that would be gone in a day or two. It made Gray feel like he had to tie Natsu up again, if just to put his mark back on his skin.

"Hey, it's sunny!"

Natsu sounded like an excited child as yellow sunlight streamed through the window. They ate a late breakfast and hurried out to the beach, determined to get in some fun before the clouds came back. Natsu raced Gray to the water and both leaped into the waves, only for Natsu to yelp and jump back out.

"It's freezing," he cried out.

Gray swam out into the salty waves. "Wuss!" he taunted back.

Freed came up to Natsu, wearing swim trunks but also a hooded sweater against the chilly air. "You two are getting a late start. We figured you'd be the first ones out here." He chuckled slyly, "Or did you stay up late?"

Natsu blushed as he remembered the night before. "We want that room again next time."

"Of course," Freed said, excepting that already. "I'm glad you liked it."

"Y-Yeah," Natsu muttered, feeling embarrassed and not wanting to get aroused. He saw that Freed and Laxus had set up a little camp with a fire pit and tent. "Oh, right! We brought food. I'll go get it." With that, he raced off back to the hotel. While Gray swam in the ocean, Natsu brought forward all the food all at once, boxes stacked up, wobbling as he returned, yet he managed to carry them all. "Strength building!" he cried out triumphantly as he set the boxes of food down. "Where's Lucy and Loke? I brought Lucy's favorite cookies."

Laxus thumbed to the tent. "Busy."

"O-Oh," Natsu whispered. He recalled that the tent had runes around it to be soundproof, yet he saw the fabric moving as someone inside thrashed around. If he sniffed, he could smell Lucy. Strongly!

"Hey, did you bring beer?" Laxus asked as he dug through the boxes.

"Yeah, a couple barrels. Let's see … oh," he muttered. "I think I left them."

"Che!" Laxus stood up. "I'll get them. I wouldn't want you being reckless and busting a whole barrel of beer."

As Laxus left, Natsu poked around the food. He kept looking at the tent, then forcefully looking away, shoving images out of his head. He remembered Loke's mouth, that brief time when he was healing, when both Loke and Lucy had—

Right as his mind sank into the erotic memory, the tent opened, and Natsu jolted, feeling guilty for imagining his teammate like that. Lucy came out first, her cheeks flushed, her blond hair a mess, obviously fucked out of her mind as she limped toward the public restrooms with only a syrupy smile to Natsu. Loke came out a moment later, his hair also a mess, and an overpowering smell of femininity all over him. He smiled at Natsu and stretched, working out his fingers.

"Where's Gray?"

Natsu pointed to the sea. "It's icy cold, so of course the snowman is out there."

Loke chuckled and sank onto a beach chair. "How are you two doing? Freed mentioned you borrowed the room."

Natsu blushed. "Does everyone know about that?"

"Just us Fairy Tail members. We're cheering you two on, you know."

That was nice to hear. "We're … doing good."

"You don't need some help?" Loke asked with a sly, seductive grin.

Natsu's jaw dropped at the offer coming suddenly out of nowhere.

"You've been half-hard since Lucy exited the tent."

Natsu looked away stubbornly. "That one time was just … just to help me get over some things," he snapped quietly. "I wouldn't do anything like that without Gray's permission and with him here."

"Oh, I would love for Gray to be here."

"Y-You would?" Natsu muttered.

Loke walked up to him with a green glint in his eyes. "It's just an offer, only if you're comfortable with it. Lucy and I were talking about it yesterday, about passes: people we're okay with if one of us wants a little extra fun. She said you and Gray are my pass. She trusts me with you. So … just an offer. Think about it." Loke patted Natsu on the shoulder and leaned into his ear to whisper hotly, "You can take it any time you want."

Natsu bit his lip. That one time … he really had liked it. "M-Maybe … you know, Gray loves to be an exhibitionist."

"That's pretty obvious."

"If … If you're really okay … I was thinking…"

Loke listened as Natsu whispered a plan, and a catlike grin spread on his face.

Gray thought the ocean felt wonderful, the perfect temperature, but it was no fun without someone else to play with. So he returned to shore, finding the little camp all set up. Lucy was lying out in the sun, enjoying what might be her last chance to get a tan. Freed was under an umbrella as he read a book and looked wonderfully relaxed. Laxus lay on Freed's lap, looking like he had fallen asleep, except for the gentle smile whenever Freed reached down and stroked his fingers through the spiky blond hair. Loke was missing, but he might have gone off to flirt … again.

Natsu walked up to Gray. "Did you have fun?"

"Not as much as when I'm with you."

Natsu hummed, his eyes smoldering. "Come with me. To the tent."

The tent! The soundproof tent their group used for changing their clothes and for some public sex without anyone able to hear. Gray glanced around at their group, but if anyone heard Natsu, they did not care. Hell, they were getting such a late start, probably every other couple had used that tent already.

Gray followed Natsu as he was pulled along by the hand. They bent over to enter the tent, and Gray was stunned to see someone there.

"Loke?" he cried out.

Natsu zipped the tent closed, and purple runes lit up for a second, showing that the soundproofing was in effect. The tent blocked sounds from escaping but not smells or sounds from coming in, so they could be as loud as they wanted in here without being heard, but they could still hear the crashing waves and raucous call of the seagulls.

Natsu slipped up behind Gray, wrapped his arms around him, and began to nip the back of his neck.

"Whoa, wait!" Gray cried out. "We need to talk about this."

"He's just gonna watch," Natsu said, letting his hands glide across Gray's chest and taking a possessive bite on his shoulder.

Gray shivered at the gentle pain and covetous growl from Natsu. He sputtered in humiliation, gave a sharp look to Loke, who had a casual smile as he sat in the corner, then back to Natsu, who still had his teeth bared, sunk in but not enough to break skin, and his fiery eyes looked like he was ready to yank their clothes off.

Gray found he was already breathing hard. "Wh-What about Lucy?"

Loke assured them, "It's okay with her. I'm just an observer … unless you'd like more," he added slyly.

Natsu's adventurous hands reached down and palmed Gray's groin, getting him to yelp. "I know an exhibitionist like you will enjoy this, and I'm okay with Loke being here." Natsu gripped Gray's cock until the ice wizard groaned, instinctively wanting to thrust into his hands, but straining to hold back with another set of eyes on him. Then Natsu's searing breath was right in his ear. "I want to see how you react when someone watches your every move." He gave a few firm strokes until Gray's cock sprang to attention, and Gray's head flopped back onto Natsu's shoulder as a moan shivered out.

Gray had to admit, the idea of someone actually watching them thrilled him. He liked to push his limits, how much he could do in public without getting caught. But what if it wasn't a matter of not getting caught? What if someone watched … and enjoyed it?

Natsu let go of the arousal now tenting Gray's damp swim trunks, and his fingers slid within the elastic band, nudging it down. "Tell me you want it," he hissed.

Gray said nothing at first, and Natsu heard his heart racing, his breathing unstable, and there was a hint of fear in his smell. Natsu pulled his hands back, and then he walked around to face Gray, to really look at his face so he could see what his feelings were.

"Only if you want to," he said, waiting for consent.

Gray still felt thrown off by the suddenness, but he was definitely not against it. He looked to both Natsu and Loke. "We're all okay with this?"

"Definitely," Natsu moaned, slipping his hands back through the elastic and clawing into Gray's ass. "Tell me." He waited again as Gray's eyes were locked on Loke. "Gray!" he snapped, yanking the ice wizard's attention back to him. "Is this okay? We don't have to."

Gray felt a deep warmth at seeing Natsu so eager, and yet so considerate. His fingers threaded through Natsu's hair. "Was this your idea?"

"W-Well … kinda," he muttered bashfully.

Gray chuckled and leaned forward, letting his lips flutter against Natsu's. "Kinky bastard," he whispered endearingly, and then he gave Natsu a kiss.

Natsu opened his mouth to the kiss, and taking that as Gray's consent, he pulled the swim trunks down. He had to pull the elastic out as they momentarily caught on that stiffness tenting the fabric.

"You're this hard just imagining it," Natsu moaned. He continued to slide the trunks all the way to Gray's ankles, kneeling and admiring the arousal in front of him. He rubbed up and down the damp skin, icy cold from the sea. "I wonder how salty you taste." He dropped his mouth open and surged in for dessert.

Gray let out a loud moan as Natsu's mouth devoured him whole, searing hot after the cold autumn sea. His eyes flicked over to Loke, momentarily worried about making a noise like that, but the Celestial Spirit looked perfectly at ease watching, his eyes locked on Gray.

It was thrilling! Being watched!

Natsu pulled back and rubbed his tongue around his mouth. "Seriously, your dick tastes like an over-salted sausage."

Loke snorted a brief laugh, but he said nothing.

Natsu reclined on a pile of towels that had already been set up for comfort, probably by Loke and Lucy. He curled his finger, beckoning Gray down. "How about you show Loke how you fuck me?"

"Natsu!" Seriously, this was too much. How was it that he was okay with all this? Was this actually one of Natsu's kinks?

"Judging by how strong you smell, this is totally something you want," Natsu said, seeing the uncertainty in Gray's eyes.

Gray had to admit, he was really affected by having Loke in the tent, so close, watching everything. The idea of someone watching, evaluating, judging, and appreciating his skills was thrilling. His eyes flicked over, seeing that predatory gaze and the glint of blue glasses. Breathing hard already, he knelt beside Natsu, who spread his legs right away. Gray began to look around—they seriously needed lube to do this and he hadn't brought any with them—when Loke crept a little closer, a bottle in his hand. He was right up next to Gray as he handed the lube over.

"Show me those skills I taught you," he whispered.

A shiver went through Gray's body. He tried to do this like they normally did. First, Natsu needed to be bound. Although he was getting better at having sex without bondage, this was sure to push their limits. He pulled Natsu's wrists up above his head, and a blue glow of magic was just starting up, when Loke's hands were suddenly in the way.

"Let me hold him down," he offered. Then he smiled down to Natsu. "If you're okay with this."

Natsu's mouth dropped. When they had discussed this, he and Loke had agreed that he would only watch, providing Gray with the audience, something Natsu knew he would love. Now, feeling the hardness of Loke's rings on his fingers as they gripped his wrists, Natsu felt increasingly embarrassed. He wanted to do this because he knew Gray would love it, but having Loke touching him as well sent a thrill through him that he had not been expecting.

Gray saw the blushing on Natsu's cheeks, the leer in Loke's eyes, and he gritted his teeth to hold back a moan at how hot this all was.

The man who helped him learn about BDSM was now taking part with him.

If they could both work together to pleasure Natsu…

No, that was probably too much to ask for. Still, this was way more than just having an audience.

"You better hold on tight. He squirms a lot."

Natsu felt Loke's fingers thread between his, and he looked up. Those deep green eyes gazed down at him with a reassuring smile. Still, Natsu gulped. Having Loke merely watch might have been fun, since he could ignore Loke's presence and focus on watching how this affected Gray. Now, Natsu could not help but feel like he was being ganged up on, two people now holding him down.

Two people! The rapid thumping in his chest shook so much, he was surprised it did not make his whole body tremble. Or maybe it did, because when Gray ran his hand up Natsu's thigh, spreading his legs a little more, Natsu whimpered, shivered, and clenched Loke's hands even more.

Loke was going to see it! Again!

Gray poured the lube onto his fingers and looked down at Natsu—at his boyfriend, being held down by another man, who was going to watch them fuck. He saw Natsu and Loke looking at each other, their eyes locked. Natsu looked almost scared, except that stiff cock showed how much this aroused him. Gray chilled the hand on Natsu's thigh, getting him to yelp and look down.

Yes! Look at me, bastard.

Then his finger traced around Natsu's ass, teasing it, until he began to squirm, holding back moans, obviously humiliated to cry out and let Loke hear.

No! He wanted Loke to hear him. He wanted Loke to watch just how amazing his dragon was!

"Roar, my dragon." He slipped his finger in, and Natsu's spine arched up as a sweet cry of pleasure filled the tent.

Natsu wondered who was being affected most by this: Gray and his exhibitionist kink, or him and the humiliation of someone else seeing him like this. It was Loke, though, and he trusted Loke with his life.

As Gray eased a second finger in, Natsu crushed Loke's fingers. It felt so good! And someone else was seeing him in the midst of this erotic pleasure. He looked at Gray, who was obviously enthralled, his eyes flicking between watching Natsu and watching Loke. There was something powerful going on between these two, a shared past, maybe memories. After all, Loke and Gray…

Once, thoughts of Gray being fucked by others depressed Natsu, or made him jealous. Now, he was not so insecure about his relationship. He knew Gray was strictly loyal to him, and all those former lovers were in the past. The past molded them, but they shaped that mold into whatever they wanted for the future.

And then … he smelled something. His eyes went back to Loke, still in his full suit coat, but he saw a flush to Loke's cheeks.

Then Gray said, "You okay there?"

Natsu looked at him, but Gray's eyes were on Loke. So, he had noticed it too! Loke was getting aroused by this.

"Ignore it," Loke said, looking apologetic for his reaction. "Focus on Natsu. You're neglecting some of his needs."

"Oh? Like what?" Gray asked with an impish smile.

Loke released one of Natsu's hands and circled around his nipple. "Here, obviously. I also know he's very sensitive right here." His long finger slid up Natsu's neck, right along the scar, and Natsu's body quivered at the touch. He moaned, but then slammed his mouth shut. Would Gray be upset at the idea of him moaning because of the touch of another man?

"Well," Gray said, "my left hand is a little busy here." He thrust deep into Natsu's ass and twisted his fingers, getting him to cry out gloriously. "I can only tweak one nipple, and he reacts better when you do both together."

Loke leaned in closer to Gray and traced around his lips. "If you only have one free hand, that's what your mouth is for."

Gray felt heat surging in his face at the touch. He had thought that both of them touching Natsu might be really hot, but Loke settled back into his seat by Natsu's head, pinning his hands down, his eyes silently commanding Gray to show him.

Shit! That was way hotter!

Gray laid himself over Natsu's body, gazing into his eyes. He caressed Natsu's face, adoring the flush in his cheeks. Then he leaned over and gave Natsu a deep, hungry, delving kiss. Natsu hummed, meeting his tongue, a slow and warm kiss filled with raw passion.

Let Loke see the love between them!

When Gray pulled back, Natsu's eyes were hazy, filled with adoration. It made Gray smile, to see just how much Natsu loved him, and to let someone else see the strong bond between them.

Loke watched the gentle moment and did not move. He and Lucy truly had been worried about these two, but they did not want to butt in where they were not wanted. That last time, joining these two for a night had been amazing, but Lucy had admitted privately to Loke that she felt awkward around Natsu and Gray for weeks afterward. So when Loke told her about his and Natsu's plan, she opted not to join in again.

Loke liked that it was just him. He had such strong feelings for both of these two. He wanted to support their quest for love. He admired their strength to walk a path that was much harder for them personally than a normal couple who did not carry the weight of their dark pasts. He felt inspired by them, and he wanted to be sure they made it as a couple.

Plus Gray was hot—he had always thought so—and Natsu enthralled him with his moans and the way his body heated up. As he watched, Gray teased Natsu's nipple while sucking on his other one. Natsu cried out, his whole body lifting. Loke held his hands down even tighter as he felt Natsu pulling, struggling, fighting the pleasure.

He wondered if Gray fully appreciated just how sexy Natsu was in those moments.

"Here." He gently pushed Gray aside. "You've never truly seen his face as you do that, have you?"

Gray leaned back as Loke shifted to Natsu's side. Loke ran his hands along Natsu's chest.

"May I?" he asked first, which Natsu answered with an enthusiastic nod. "Watch his face, Gray. You really must see how he looks. And Natsu … don't hold back your voice. Let Gray hear you."

Then Loke pinched Natsu's nipples at the same time, and they both watched his body bowing up.

"Isn't it divine?" Loke asked Gray.

His mouth dropped open. It really was amazing to watch. To just watch.

"And then see how he reacts when you do this." Loke leaned over to suck on Natsu's nipple, giving it a tiny bite that sent the Dragon Slayer roaring. Loke looked smug at getting him to be that loud. "But you see, what you should really aim for is multiple spots at once." He did it again, pinching and sucking, while his other hand lightly rubbed up Natsu's neck scar, making his erotic cries shiver with the chill he got from that gentle touch. "Now, add that to spreading your fingers inside."

"You must think I have three arms to do all this," Gray muttered, but he obeyed, scissoring his fingers inside of Natsu.

The cry was so loud, so glorious, Gray felt his cock dripping just from watching. He also saw Loke's trousers tenting hard. He looked happily content toying with Natsu's chest. Then Loke's hand reached down and stroked Natsu, getting a louder cry out of him. Loke suddenly pulled back.

"Oh! Sorry, I didn't ask if that was okay."

"Yes!" Natsu howled. "God, yes!"

Loke looked over to Gray. "It has to be okay with both of you."

Gray thought about it. Another man touching Natsu like that … but it was Loke. He had touched Natsu before. "If it's you, it's okay."

"How much is okay?"

"Everything!" Natsu wailed.

"No," Gray said sharply. "No penetration. Sorry, but … his ass is mine."

Natsu opened his eyes out of their lust-induced haziness. "Gray," he sighed, liking how covetous he sounded. "What … what about … to you?"

Gray looked down in surprise. "To me?"

"Last time," he whispered, blushing as both men looked at him, "Loke was about to … to … p-put it in you. And I was okay with that. But then I freaked out because of something Lucy was doing to me, and you two had to stop to help ease me out, and you never actually did it."

"To be honest," Loke said, "I've never been in Gray's ass yet. We did other stuff, but not that."

Natsu bit on his lower lip. "I … I really, really liked seeing you be pleasured in ways I can't do. Back then, I had a problem with blow jobs, but after seeing you get one while Lucy was doing it to me, I got better. So what if … what if I see you getting it in the ass, while you do that to me? I mean, it worked to heal me last time."

Gray's eyes were massive as the request, and he looked sharply to Loke. "Would Lucy be okay with that?"

"I have to ask," Loke said, and in a golden flash he vanished.

While they were alone, Gray checked on Natsu, making sure he was in his right mind. The suggestion was so sudden, and yet … it sounded like this was something Natsu had planned for all along.

"Are you really sure?" he asked sternly.

Natsu nodded. "That last time, I was looking forward to seeing you get that pleasure at last. I can't do it, not yet, but … but maybe I just need to see that it's okay. I don't know, but it worked last time, so maybe…" He shrank down. "Shit, I don't want to feel like I'm pushing you into something you don't want."

"No, it's … it's not that I … I mean…" How could he say it? "I would be okay with a threesome, but only if you are absolutely sure you're okay with it."

Natsu nodded. "Only Loke, though. I trust him. He knows about me, about what I did in the past. So I know if something goes wrong, if my brain slips into memories, you two can pull me out of it, and you won't judge me."

Gray tilted his head and smirked. "Seriously, were you planning this from the start?"

"No!" Natsu cried out, his voice hitching into a squeak.

"Is it something you've been fantasizing about?"

Now he gagged, and he looked away in humiliation. "I … might have had a dream about it."

"About Loke fucking me?"

"About … both … of you."

"Both of us fucking you?"

"N-Not just me. Last time, I got better because you, Loke, and Lucy were all giving me blow jobs one after another, until I couldn't tell who was doing it, so I couldn't be afraid. So what if … if that's the key. What if I see it's okay for you, and then next time Loke does it, then I do it to you, then he does, then maybe both of us together—"

"Whoa, wait right there!" Gray shouted. "I'm not sure how I feel about two dicks in my ass."

"Then what about two in mine?"

Gray's mouth dropped. "Okay, seriously, where did you suddenly start to get all these ideas?"

"It isn't sudden. I just never brought it up, because I was a mess and I figured my ideas went against that checklist we made last year."

"It can be updated!" shouted Gray.

Natsu chuckled slyly. "Oh? Do you suddenly wanna see me getting fuck by two cocks at the same time?"

Just then, Loke appeared, hearing only the last few words. "What's this about double penetration?"

"Natsu wants it."

"Is that so?" He sat down by Natsu and stroked his hair. "It can seriously hurt, you know." He said the words like a promised treat and not a warning.

"I … I know," Natsu muttered, blushing now that he had to say this in front of Loke. "I kinda wanted to do that with both of us to Gray."

"Oh!" Loke said, grinning at the ice wizard.

"But he said he doesn't know about that."

"I don't think I'd like the pain," Gray explained.

"So … I'm curious…"

Loke placed a hand on Natsu's shoulder. "I get it. I'm okay with whatever you two are okay with, but this sounds like something you need to talk about more. Plus, we would need a lot more lube than what I brought. The time to stretch you out properly would cut into the time we have on the beach. Already, the others are wondering what's taking us so long." He rolled his eyes as he muttered, "Laxus is anxious to get in here. So, that can be another time, after you both talk about it. For today," he said, slipping a finger into Natsu's mouth, stroking his tongue, and pulling his jaw down, "let's give you what you wanted. You wanna see your boyfriend being fucked by someone else."

Natsu spoke with the finger in his mouth, "I wanna shee it." Loke pulled his finger out so he could speak clearly. "I want him to enjoy it, since I can't do it yet, and maybe if I see that he likes it, I can do it on my own."

"Then let's keep our focus there. Besides, I have permission for Gray, but I would have to ask Lucy again about penetrating you, Natsu. For something like that," he chuckled, "she may change her mind and want to watch."

Natsu gulped hard. Last time, doing all those sensual things with Lucy, including getting her off with his fingers twice, had been amazing, but also made missions super awkward for months.

"How loose is he?" Loke asked Gray.

Gray had pulled his fingers out a while ago. He felt inside again, and Natsu moaned as two fingers slid in deep. "Mm, he feels ready."

Loke slid around Gray, rubbing his hands all over him. "Then let's get you ready for me. Kiss him while I finger you."

Gray leaned over Natsu, letting their chests rub together, their cocks stroking flesh to flesh, and he kissed him, deeply, lovingly, amazed that Natsu actually wanted something like this. As he felt Loke's finger start to touch him, Gray gasped.

He could almost imagine this was Natsu touching him.

He saw those narrow eyes gleaming up to him. "Do you like being fingered, Gray?" Natsu asked in that deep, dominant voice he got when he wanted to take control.

It was like those were Natsu's fingers, and yet they were longer, softer, the touch more refined and practiced. Loke used just the right amount of lube so his fingers slipped in and out with ease.

"Do you want it gentle, or rough, Gray?" Natsu asked, his voice a seductive purr.

"Rough," Gray growled, frotting against him.

"Then get into my ass first."

Loke's fingers pulled out, as if telling him there would be no more fun until he obeyed. Gray wasted no time. He looked around, and a hand held out a condom. He looked back and realized Loke was still there.

"You're fully clothed," Gray said in astonishment. Loke even still had on his tie.

"I prefer it this way if I'm giving it to a man," he said with a shrug. "Would you prefer me naked?"

Gray gulped. Somehow, Loke being clothed while he wasn't pushed a boundary. "Yes. Naked, if that's okay."

Loke nodded, and in a shower of light, his clothed faded off his body, exposing his taut muscles and green Fairy Tail insignia. "Whatever makes everyone comfortable."

"Sorry. It's just, with the suit—"

Loke cut him off by grabbing Gray's chin and pulling his face toward him. His eyes glinted in the umber tent light, green and orange, so like the Celestial Spirit himself.

"Never apologize for requesting something that makes you more comfortable. Never let your sub apologize either. Your comfort and consent is never something you need to defend or justify."

Natsu listened to those words, and they sank into his heart. How often had both of them apologized for not being able to do something? Natsu constantly said he was sorry when an act triggered him, and Gray tore himself up inside for being unable to say "I love you."

But Loke was right. Their comfort, what was okay and what pushed boundaries, did not have to be justified. That whole year, the two of them had been apologized for their limits, when all that time, that was never necessary.

"Now," Loke said in an authoritative voice, "Natsu, what do you want?"

He looked to both of them, and while he felt a moment of worry—maybe his request was selfish—what Loke just said repeated in his mind. He was comfortable with this. It was up to the other two to decide what they were comfortable with. "I want to watch Gray being fucked up the ass." He caressed Gray's face. "Plus, I think it'd be really hot to have you sandwiched between us."

Gray's face burned red at the kinky glint in Natsu's eyes.

"And Gray," Loke said, "what are you comfortable doing?"

"I'm okay with this, but don't make me feel submissive. I want us all to be equal in this." He rubbed up Natsu's chest. "That includes you. We're equals."

Natsu nodded. No dominant or submissive this time. They were all equals.

"As for me," Loke said, pulling out another condom package and ripping it open, "I want to fuck Gray but also touch and kiss Natsu. I don't have permission to do more than that." He leaned over and nipped Gray's ear, getting him to moan. "Also, if one of you could pet my head afterward, I often need that."

"Oh, oh, me!" Natsu cried out. "I get really cuddly afterward."

"Aggressively so," Gray noted.

"Not aggressive, please," Loke chuckled. "Just pet me." He rolled the condom onto his cock.

"Why do you need a condom too?" Natsu asked Loke. "Hey, do you even have cum? I can't recall if you came last time."

"He has cum just like us," Gray told him.

"Not just like you," Loke corrected, making sure the condom was snug. "As a Celestial Spirit, I have no sperm like humans, so I can't get anyone pregnant, but I do have semen."

"Semen but no sperm?" Natsu whispered, looking envious at the idea. If he was like that, most of his worst his hang-ups would go away.

Loke slid his cock along Gray's crack, teasing him with it. "Now, are we all clear on what we want?"

Natsu chuckled as he pulled on Gray's hip. "I sure am. Get in me! And Loke," he said, petting the ginger around the ears and getting a deep, rumbling purr from him. "Really let him enjoy this."

"That goes without saying," Loke said smugly. "Gray, as I enter you, push into Natsu. Try to match it, but only as comfortably as you can."

"Gotcha." Gray took hold of himself and lined up with Natsu's ass. "Ready?"

Natsu chuckled slyly. "I'm ready to see how much you love it up the ass, Gray."

Gray felt Loke prepared to plunge in, and he got ready. As he felt the tip of Loke's cock push in, he did the same, drilling into Natsu, slowly but with determination. Natsu moaned, and Gray did the same at feeling Loke push in.

"Oh stars," Loke gasped. "Do you have any idea how long I've wanted to feel inside you, Gray?"

"He's tight, isn't he?" Natsu said with one eye open to watch Gray's face as he worked through the first discomfort of being filled.

"How many times have you been in his ass?" Loke asked Natsu.

"A few, but usually not for long. It's really, really tight, though." Natsu tipped Gray's head up so he could see the expression. "How does it feel?"

Gray did not answer. It felt amazing, sliding into Natsu's body while feeling himself filled up, but he also realized … that wasn't Natsu. If he said it felt good, would Natsu hate that? Would he get jealous? Then again, he was the one who initially wanted this.

"Are you ready for more? Because I am."

He was! After all, Natsu wanted this. Worries crumbled, and Gray slowly smiled.

"He … isn't as big as you."

"Hey!" Loke huffed. "It's not the size that counts."

Natsu chimed in, "But size boosts the score." He traced around Gray's lips, getting his mouth to drop open, as if wanting to devour those fingers. "I'm glad I spoiled you." Natsu slid his hands around Gray and down to his ass. "Let me spoil you more … by going deeper."

He pulled Gray's body toward him, making him sink in more, and at the same time Loke thrust in, until Natsu felt the force of both of them pushing down against him. Gray moaned, and Natsu hissed as he watched the erotic faces on both of them.

"Is that good?" Natsu asked with a sensual growl. "Your smell is so different when there's a cock in your ass, and I love to smell it."

"Oh God, don't talk," Gray hissed, gritting his teeth hard.

Natsu chuckled, a fiery glint in his eyes. "Loke … show me!"

"Gladly! Watch his face real close."

"Oh, I plan to," Natsu purred.

Natsu felt the pressure on his body ease off as Loke pulled back, then the strong thrust that slammed Gray's cock into him even more. However, Natsu's focus was purely on Gray's face, the moans that ripped out of him as Loke thrust in, again and again, how he bit his lip, how his mouth dropped open when Loke hit a good spot, how his whole face began to flush.

"Do you like feeling that, Gray?"

Hazy, tear-lined eyes opened to see the narrow, glinting green in Natsu's pointed eyes. "I … want … more."

Natsu pulled Gray's head down to his shoulder, cradled it there, and whispered into his ear, "Do you want me to give you more?"

"Yes!" he moaned.

"You really like having a cock in your ass, don't you? You're always so sadistic and demanding, but I think deep inside, you like to be dominated from time to time. As an equal, though. You like to have someone who thinks of you as an equal, but who will fuck your ass hard."

"Oh shit, please, don't talk!" Gray wailed.

Natsu could smell that Gray was very, very close already. He looked down to Loke, who was watching both of them with a proud smile, and Natsu gave a small nod. Loke was the Lion, he could probably smell Gray as well and knew he was not going to last long.

"If I can't talk," Natsu said, pulling Gray's head up so he could look at his face again, "then I'll have to keep busy doing something else."

At that, Loke slammed in faster, speeding up, his haunches tight as he pounded in. Gray howled and tried to hide his head down, but Natsu yanked it up by the hair.

"Oh no! You're going to show me your face as you come."

"Natsu!" Gray yelled.

"Inside me, Gray," Natsu hissed, feeling Loke's movements as more thrusts into him. "You're gonna come in my ass as your ass gets filled."

Natsu's voice was a weakness, and Gray was quickly succumbing to it. He could imagine … Natsu behind him … taking him like the wild dragon he was … and yet he was inside Natsu, he felt his cock being rammed in, again and again, until he had to go faster.

The rhythm broke as he grew desperate, went faster than Loke, and then suddenly slammed in hard with a growling grunt.

Natsu watched his face as he felt Gray's cock pulsing inside. Behind, Loke was giving slow, milking thrusts. He also knew just when to stop. Once GRay stopped twitching, Loke pulled him back, slipping him outside of Natsu's body with a loud sighed from Gray. Loke sat on the rumpled mess of towels in the tent and settled Gray down onto his lap, still buried deep inside him.

"I'm not done with you."

Gray woke up from a spell as he heard Loke's voice. He went from imagining it was Natsu fucking him to realizing it was Loke, and Natsu was watching him. Natsu sat up, took the condom off of Gray before he shrank so much that the cum spilled out, and wiped him clean, all while watching Loke giving thrusts.

He knew it was safe for Loke. Loke could not get Gray pregnant. No man could. Coming in an ass was safe.

He knew that! Maybe he just had to see it for himself.

"It's … safe."

Gray and Loke looked at him, seeing the conflict playing out on his face, fears battling one another. Loke smiled knowingly. He lifted Gray up and off his lap.

"Come here, Natsu. Gray, on your hands and knees."

Gray rested into position, and Loke pulled Natsu over. He took some lube and rubbed it onto the Dragon Slayer's arousal.

"Don't finish. Just be inside."

Natsu moved to where he was positioned, right behind Gray, seeing the shine of lube on his ass that was already flushed from Loke thrusting in. He looked down at his own cock, now slathered in lube.

"It's safe," Loke whispered, urging him to get closer. "I will make sure you stay safe."

Natsu gazed up at Loke. He would make sure!

"Trust me," Loke said, looking almost fierce with determination to help Natsu through these fragile steps.

Natsu did trust him, with his life. He took a deep breath, firmed up his determination, and eased himself inside of Gray.

A loud moan shuddered out. "Shit, so much bigger," Gray hissed.

Loke kept a hand on Natsu's lower back, gently encouraging him to go deeper in. "It's safe," he repeated. "Without a uterus, you can't get pregnant."

"Without … a uterus," Natsu repeated. Gray was a hundred percent anatomically male. There was no threat here.

"If you come in an ass, it's ruined. The cum is ruined when it's in shit."

"Ruined," Natsu breathed, recalling a nightmare of a memory.

"What is this? You missed the cup, you damn boy. And you pissed all over the floor. Your cum is in the middle of piss. I can't use it now. Fucking kid! I need fresh cum, not cum that's sitting in filth. Goddammit. A wasted effort. Damn fucking sonuvabitch…"

Useless. Ruined. Sitting in filth.

An ass was filthy. It would be sitting in the middle of filth. A wasted effort.

"Natsu?"

The voice snapped him out of the memory. "Sitting in filth," he said, seemingly out of nowhere.

Loke saw the signs of a flashback. "Yes, sitting in filth. It's useless in an ass."

Natsu looked back down to Gray. "Useless. Ruined." He pulled back, and slowly he thrust in, feeling the tight walls of Gray's ass stroking him. It felt so good.

"Again," Loke urged quietly. "It's safe. I won't let anything happen."

Natsu nodded, pulled back, and slid inside again.

It was safe. Even if he came, it would be ruined.

But it would still be inside something.

Natsu flinched, and Loke hugged him from behind. "It's safe. I'm here. I can smell when you're about to come, and I won't let you come in his ass. Not until you're ready."

Natsu nodded, and he thrust in again, easier this time, knowing Loke was there to stop him.

"Very good, Natsu. Again. It's an expression of love. Let Gray know how much you love him."

"So much," Natsu whispered, gazing down warmly.

"Are you okay now? Can I go look at your boyfriend's face as you fuck him?"

Natsu nodded. "I want him to be watched."

Gray moaned at that. Again, someone would be watching him getting his ass filled, only this time it was not his own boyfriend. It was an outsider.

Loke removed his condom as he crawled around the tent to Gray's front and lifted his head up with a gentle tug on his chin.

"You always did look so slutty, Gray."

Natsu felt Gray's body tense up at the words. "He's sensitive to dirty talk," Natsu told Loke.

"Oh, I know," Loke chuckled with a sly glint in his eyes. He leaned in close. "I know all your weaknesses. I also know how you love to suck cock. Well…" He brought his forward. "You didn't finish me."

Gray looked at the offer, then looked back to Natsu. Was this okay?

Natsu chuckled. "It's either in your mouth or in my ass. Which do you prefer?"

He definitely did not want anyone in Natsu's ass. He had sucked Loke off a few times in the past, so he opened his mouth and let him slide inside.

As Natsu thrust, Gray moved forward onto Loke, and as Loke thrust his hips forward, Gray was pushed back onto Natsu.

Natsu chuckled. "You know, last time, I was the one being spit roasted. Now it's you, Gray. Do you like being pierced from both ends?"

Gray could only groan through his filled mouth.

"It's kinda like having an extra long dick stretching from Gray's mouth to his ass, so in a way, it's like this is just Loke's cock, and he's stretched all the way to your ass. Or maybe like my cock is pierced all the way through you and to your mouth. Your mouth … is safe."

"So what you're doing is safe," Loke told Natsu.

Natsu looked down, and he felt Gray's body thrusting back onto him from the force of Loke's hips. "Like I don't have to move a muscle," he whispered to himself, watching Gray's ass slid itself without him doing a thing. "But that's no fun."

Then suddenly Natsu dug his fingers into Gray's hips and slammed in hard. Seeing it, Loke also pressed in, until his cock rammed down into Gray's throat, choking him.

"Like … an extra long … cock." Natsu slammed in again, but suddenly he yanked away. "No!"

Instantly, Loke pulled back and was at Natsu's side, holding him as he gnashed his teeth.

Shit! I can't do it!

"You did so good," Loke praised. "You did far better than I thought you would for your first time."

"S'not my first time. Every time. Every goddamn time, I can't do it!" Natsu yelled in frustration.

Loke consoled him, peppering his face with kisses. Gray slowly crawled over, both of them soothing the troubled Dragon Slayer from his nightmarish past. Gray kissed his face while Loke stroked his hair.

"You did well, my dragon," Gray praised.

Natsu looked up, tears in his eyes ready to spill over. "Kainushi?"

Gray nodded to Loke, who moved back to let the boyfriend take over. Gray fully embraced Natsu, cuddling him.

"That was so hot. I'm glad you suggested this. My kinky little dragon!"

A smile struggled on Natsu's face.

"How are you?"

"Aching!" Natsu groaned, and his cock gave a twitch at being neglected.

"Then let's go back to you watching me. I … wanna be watched."

Natsu wiped away his tears. "Exhibitionist."

"Damn right!"

Natsu straightened up and used the cloth he had used to clean up Gray, wiping himself from anything he might have gotten in Gray's ass.

"Wait, let me!" Loke grabbed Natsu's cock, and as he slid his hand up, a golden glow lit up between his fingers. Natsu groaned and collapsed back onto Gray's chest.

"Oh God, that tingles!"

Loke's hand pulled off, and the glow vanished. "A little magic that purifies what I touch. No more anal bacteria."

"That's a helluva handy magic," said Gray.

"I may have developed it for a specific reason," Loke said, giving Gray a wink. "One problem. I don't have another condom on me."

"Oh," Natsu muttered, and he bit his lip. "I mean, if it's okay with Gray, I … I may … want you to come in his ass without one. It's like, even if you came, but you've got a condom on, I know none of your cum is in him, so it doesn't really deal with the problem I have. But if Gray doesn't want that, forget it."

Gray muttered, "To be honest, cleaning up is gonna be a problem."

"Not necessarily," said Loke. "When I vanish, my cum should vanish as well. I'll just hop back to the Spirit World for a second, and you should be fine. But would that ruin this for you, Natsu? Do you need to think he could get pregnant?"

Natsu frowned. "I'm not stupid, I know people without a vagina can't get pregnant."

"But you need to convince yourself."

He knew Loke was right, but he hated to admit he had to prove such a silly thing to himself. "Don't … Don't vanish right away. I need to see that it's safe, and to see that Gray would enjoy it."

"I don't plan to vanish until you finish petting me."

Natsu grinned, feeling more confident now that he was going to like this. "Gray?"

Gray shrugged. "So long as I don't have cum dripping out of my ass all night, I'm fine with it. I mean, obviously Lucy gets Celestial Spirit cum inside her and it isn't toxic to humans."

"Toxic," Loke chuckled as he stroked himself back to firmness. "I worried about that for centuries before my first time with a human."

Curious, Natsu asked, "Was your first a man or a woman?"

"A man. I wasn't sure if humans were safe, and I didn't have the heart to experiment on something that potentially dangerous with a woman, so it was some random man I met at a fertility rite. He offered, rather persistently, and I decided he was an asshole, so why not see what happened? That was many thousands of years ago now in human time. Feels like yesterday."

Loke pulled Gray up onto his knees and was able to slide back inside with ease.

"Oh! You widened him for me."

As Loke slid deeper in, Natsu tilted Gray's chin up. "Thank you for indulging me."

"Indulging you?" he cried out. "I'm the one getting fucked by two guys."

"But it was my idea. So, thank you."

Gray merely smiled. "I just hope this doesn't take too much longer. We're missing out on beach time."

"Yeah, and I can smell Laxus getting horny, and he sounds really impatient. If we don't finish soon, he might barge in." Natsu chuckled. "Or would you want him and Freed to watch you too? Maybe invite them all in here, put on a show."

"N-No," Gray muttered. "Just you two for now."

For now? Did this mean he would think about doing this with a bigger audience one day?

Natsu looked over to Loke. "How long does a Celestial Spirit take, anyway?"

"Depends on the Spirit. As for me, I sorta cheat. You see, I can decide precisely when I come. I can do it in under a minute for a really quick fuck, or last hours. Lucy and I have had plenty of quickies in the guild, but I've also been known to fuck a dozen girls in one night without ever coming once." He drew a line down the divot of Gray's spine. "I want to come at about the same time as Gray. It's our first time, so I might not sync it up perfectly, but I can last as long as you do." He reached around and stroked Gray's arousal. "I've noticed how hard he's gotten. I think he's up to one more, so I've been holding back. I wanna tell Lucy that I fucked him twice."

Natsu reached under Gray and stroked his cock as well, his fingers brushing up against Loke's. "Mmm, you're right. Feels hard again, and that smell!" He nipped Gray's ear. "You really wanna come again from getting your ass pounded, don't you? Whenever I pin you to the shower and get aggressive, your smell goes crazy. You like it." His hand drifted down, and he circled around Gray's ass, admiring the way it spread open as Loke's cock moved back and forth. "You want me to watch you getting fucked. Kinky bastard."

His finger slid in, alongside Loke's cock. Gray moaned, but his ass had already been stretched by Natsu's wide girth.

Natsu hissed in Gray's ear, "I wanna feel him fuck you from the inside."

Gray gasped. "Oh shit!" Natsu was fingering him while Loke fucked him.

"I wanna feel it." He turned his gaze to Loke. "I want to feel your cock as you come inside him. Can I?"

"Absolutely," said Loke. He could see the huge step here. Natsu was still unable to ejaculate inside, but if he felt someone else doing it, if he saw it was safe … this really was a good learning experience. "Can you keep your hand here while sucking on him?"

Natsu was about to say yes, but he paused, a devious smile growing on his face. "No … no, I can't. Gray, you have to do it yourself."

"Wh-What?" he gasped, barely alert through the need for more pleasure.

Natsu lifted Gray's chin and smirked. "Touch yourself. Let us both watch you jerk off."

Gray tensed up, about to blow from just Natsu's fiery voice. Being watched! And he could feel Natsu's finger in there, moving alongside Loke's cock, like an extra thick vein.

"Y-You … You can put … two in."

"Are you sure?"

He nodded. Although it hurt more, he wanted Natsu to feel inside him at this moment, to see, smell, and feel that this was safe.

If it helped him to heal, he would put up with any discomfort.

"Get the lube, Natsu. It's behind you."

Gray felt the coldness of lube on his ass, and then widening as Natsu slid two fingers in alongside Loke's cock.

"Okay, okay, wait." Gray hissed as his body adjusted to the stretching. Then suddenly he saw green eyes in his face.

"Do you like me being in your ass?"

Gray chuckled and gave Natsu a kiss. "Hell yeah. Let me feel it."

Natsu reached down and fondled Gray's balls. "Can I play here too?"

"Fuck, I won't last long if you do."

"Show Loke how you touch yourself."

Gray wrapped his fingers around his cock and stroked. Unrestrained pleasure trembled out of his throat. Natsu's fingers followed Loke's hand, and so it was like he was finger fucking Gray.

And it was almost like he was the one in there.

"Ow!" Loke cried out. "Natsu, your hand is heating up."

Natsu jolted. "Oh! Right, sorry, I forgot…" For a second, he forgot that it was Loke doing this, not himself.

Loke kissed Natsu's forehead. "Then forget. Imagine. In fact, this is a perfect time for a little gift of mine." Loke snapped his fingers, and in a golden flash something floated in front of Natsu. As he looked down, Natsu thought it looked like a butt.

"What?"

"You can't use sex toys because normally you would have to come inside it, and that scares you. However, you're okay if your cum is outside. Lo and behold!" He waved to the floating device. "The Celest-Ass."

"A flying butt?" Natsu asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Celestial Spirits originally created them as a joke, a way to make fun of human anatomy. We'd kick the butts around like footballs, except that they could fly away. I realized the potential and made a few of my own for different purposes. I customized this one. The back side is cut off. If you come in this butt, it'll shoot straight through, either onto the floor or into Gray's mouth.

"I get it," said Gray. "Natsu, remember that time I had you use a condom, but I cut the tip off so you weren't coming inside it? It's like that."

Natsu thought back. That had been when Gray had a sexually transmitted disease but Natsu still wanted Gray to suck on him.

"Just try it," urged Loke. He put his fingers into the opening of the toy, spread it, and slipped it around Natsu's cock. Just the squeeze alone was enough to get Natsu to hiss and start to feel his heart pulsing in his cock again. "You can set it to not move an inch so you can ram into it in midair, to have a little give if you want to rock into it, or even to move automatically. You have that issue with masturbation: well, this isn't stroking yourself off because you have no control over the speed and you don't have to touch it. I recommend you play with that setting together, maybe have Gray ice you down and let the Celest-Ass fuck your cock while he watches."

"Oh, I like that idea," Gray said immediately.

Natsu looked down at the floating ass. The back side had a hole, and he could see the tip of his cock partially sticking out. Unsure, he gave a slight thrust. At the same time, he felt Loke sliding, his fingers following him in, and Gray moaned. Natsu gasped, but he did not feel like freaking out.

No, far from it. His eyes were shining.

"This is perfect."

"Good," Loke said proudly. "Then you're in charge. I will only go at the speed you want." He set a switch on the inner side of the toy. "There. If you want more friction, simply say more, and it will give a little resistance, until it stops moving, and if you keep shouting, it will start to thrust back at you. It stops when you tell it I'm coming."

"Cool," Natsu said with a grin.

"I'll be following your lead. Gray," he said, outlining the shell of his flushed ear. "Your boyfriend is deciding how much you get. Let him know if you want it harder. Only say harder, not more."

"Got it," he said. Then Gray chuckled. "You better fuck that ass good, dragon."

"Yes, kainushi," he said with a flippant smirk. Natsu stroked his fingers along Gray's back as he gazed at him, there on his hands and knees, as Loke's cock spread him wide. Then he looked down at his own cock. He had not yet tried thrusting in, and Gray and Loke were patiently waiting, not urging him to hurry up.

"Show me it's safe," he whispered to Loke.

"There's nothing to fear." Loke gave the floating ass a little push to start, and pulled it back. "See. Your cock is long enough to stick out the far end."

Natsu gulped, but he tried it. Slowly, he pushed his hips up against the floating sex toy, and at the same time he felt Loke sinking into Gray's body, making Gray whimper. He thrust again, and the fingers in Gray's ass followed along with Loke's cock.

Gray moaned. "Ah! Natsu, harder."

This was okay. He could see his cock peeking out the end of every thrust. As some pre-cum dripped, it fell to the rumpled towel under him. Rather than focus on what Loke was doing, Natsu gazed at Gray, stroking himself, trying to pace it to the thrusts.

The pace of this all relied on him. He held the ultimate control.

"Gray," he moaned. Then, he decided to try Loke's suggestion. "More."

Gray gazed over to Natsu just in time to see his face tense up as the sex toy became less forgiving, not rocking to Natsu's hips, but staying almost still. "Harder," he told Natsu.

That pleading request drove up something desperate and needy in Natsu. He began to thrust in firmer, and he felt his hand thrusting in alongside Loke's cock more and more.

"Yes, Natsu! I like when your cock is in my ass. Feels so good."

Natsu shuddered, and his hips sped up. "More!"

The sex toy was not moving forward, and it began to make little thrusts back toward Natsu, meeting him as he slammed in.

"Loke! Ah!"

"It's safe. We're both here."

He knew it was safe. This wasn't like anal sex, because he was going to spill him cum out on the towel. It wasn't like masturbation either.

"Gray! Oh fuck, more!"

"Yes, Natsu. Give it to me harder."

He roared, as he felt what he could imagine were Gray's hips slamming back against him, only when he felt the smallest doubt and opened his eyes, he saw his cock dripping to his towel, and Loke was the one pounding Gray's ass hard now until he moaned curses.

Natsu began to shiver. Loke was going to see him come! Unlike last time, it would not be in Gray's mouth, but out in the open.

"More. Yes, more! More!"

The ass was now slamming back, slapping against him.

Gray gasped as he watched and felt the pounding in his own ass. "Oh fuck! Natsu, that's … so hot … oh fuck. Nngh!"

He smelled Gray's cum as it spilled out over the towel. The air was thick with his scent.

"Natsu."

He gasped as he looked up and saw Loke gazing at him in awe. Suddenly, Loke surged forward, yanked Natsu to him, and kissed him deeply, right over Gray's prone back. Natsu gasped, that tongue delved in, and he began to struggle for air.

He could smell it. Loke was about to come, and so was he.

"No … no!" Natsu yanked back. This had to be something between him and Gray. He did not want to be kissing Loke as he came. Somehow, that just did not feel right.

"It's fine," Loke assured, although his voice was edged with desperation. "Oh fuck … Gray, are you sure it's okay in your ass?"

"Yes," he said, sinking in post-coital warmth but keeping his ass up for Loke.

"Okay. Fair warning, I shoot out a lot of cum. Natsu," he said, and he smiled at the Dragon Slayer. "Let Gray watch you."

Natsu gasped and looked down. Weary, his head resting on his arms while his ass was being pounded, Gray smiled sleepily as he watched Natsu. He put a hand on the sex toy, feeling how it was thrusting against Natsu's cock.

"Do it, my beloved dragon."

Natsu moaned as those words quaked through his nerve. He grabbed the edges of the floating ass, and began to yank on it. "More! More!" He felt the ass ramming into him now with fierceness. He looked down again at Gray watching. "Shit," he hissed.

"Yes," Gray whispered. "Come for me."

Natsu slammed in hard. "A-Ah, Gray. Now! I'm coming!"

The ass stopped moving. Natsu felt the gush as his heart hammered in his ears. He heard Loke roar like a lion. Natsu could feel the pulses on the two fingers in Gray's ass. At the same time, he felt cum spurt out of him, splattering the towel milky white. His two fingers kept on feeling Loke pulsing, his haunches making thrust after tiny thrust, more and more. Natsu could feel the cum filling Gray up, pouring out, far more cum than he shot onto the towel.

"Oh fuck," Gray gasped. "Fuck, that's … filling me. Fuck!" He clenched at the towel. "Just how much do you cum?"

"I can hold back normally. I don't want to this time. Hold what you can in there," Loke instructed. "Clench once I'm out. Don't spill. Natsu, come here." Loke eased the floating ass off Natsu's cock, and then shifted him over to be behind Gray. "As soon as I pull out, put your cock in. Your cum already shot out, so you don't need to worry. You'll feel my cum in there, and you'll see that it's safe."

Dazed with lust, Natsu obeyed what he was told. Loke pulled out, and Gray let out a whimper as copious amounts of cum slithered down his inner thighs.

"Now, Natsu!"

With his cock still slightly firm, he pushed into Gray's ass, feeling the wetness inside. It was filled with liquid.

"That's … cum," he said in awe.

Loke held him protectively by the shoulders from behind. "There's cum in your boyfriend's ass. Are you afraid he might get pregnant?"

Natsu thought about it. "No. I know he won't. No uterus means no babies, and shit makes it unusable."

Natsu had been telling himself that for ages, yet this was the first time he could feel cum inside of someone and see for himself that it was safe.

Loke kissed him on the cheek. "Very good. I'm proud of you. You did so well through this. I was worried, but you were more amazing than I expected. I'm so proud!"

The praises and endearing hugs warmed Natsu up inside. He pulled his cock back out, saw some more white cum slither out, and then thrust back in. Gray hissed, not liking more stimulation now that the moment was over.

"Are you okay, Gray? Can we leave it in there for a little while?"

"I don't promise it won't come out. It's seriously giving me a stomach ache, there's so much in there! I need to lie down."

Loke nodded. "On your side, with Natsu behind you. Natsu, stay inside him for as long as you can. Gray, I need to be petted, now."

They repositioned, lying on top of the scattered towels, Natsu clinging to Gray, feeling weirdly soothed to be inside him with wetness in there, Gray calmly petting Loke, who cuddled in to both of them, grabbing Natsu around the shoulder and pulling both him and Gray to him.

"This was fun," Loke sighed, and both Natsu and Gray heard a distinct purr in his throat. "You two are an amazing couple. I'm honored to help out."

Natsu kissed the back of Gray's neck. "Can we do this again?"

Gray felt slightly smothered, sandwiched between the Lion and Dragon. "Sure. Eventually. I mean, I'm okay with it, but you're still my dragon. I don't want to share you too often."

Natsu had a fiery growl, possessively clinging to him and giving a lazy thrust to keep his limp cock inside, plugging up Gray's ass. "I really do feel like I made progress. I mean, look! I'm in your ass with cum in there, and I'm not freaking out even a little."

Gray hummed in thought, remembering the past. "That really is an improvement from the first few times you tried this. And that toy! Damn, I'm looking forward to playing with that. You were slamming into that thing. So hot!"

Natsu felt embarrassed by that. He had just been acting on instinct, yet here he was, wanting to come, wanting to use a sex toy, using it without being forced to, or even anyone holding it, and wanting to be in an ass, savoring the feel of the cum in there. So many things he could not do when he and Gray started to date.

Gray began to squirm. "Okay, I know you like this, and maybe it's helping, but that much cum in my ass really is starting to hurt. I feel fuckin' constipated."

Loke grumbled, like he did not want to move yet.

"Loke," Gray said, nudging him. "Can't you just vanish it away."

He hummed. "Mmm, I could." Loke raised his hand and flipped a few fingers. Natsu saw a golden glow everywhere Loke's cum had dripped, and the tingling was so intense in Gray's ass, he yanked out. Cum poured out and sparkled away instantly, all while Gray let out a long, low, relieving moan, like getting to piss after holding it for a long time.

"Fuck, that's an experience," he muttered.

"Like it?" asked Loke.

"Never come in Natsu's throat. You'd drown him."

"No, Natsu is off-limits except for touching and kissing." He looked over Gray's shoulder to Natsu. "Only one man gets to lay claim to you, and he's a jealous one."

"Damn right!" Gray snapped.

Natsu snuggled in, settling into a comfortable position. "Hey, Loke? You've been in all-male threesomes, right?"

"A few," he said modestly, although it was obvious he had plenty of experience.

"Is there anything sexual you haven't done?"

"Non-sentient animals, kids, and corpses. I refuse! Well, there was a reanimated corpse once, but she was hot for a zombie. As for sex positions, genders, and kinks, as soon as I find out they exist, I try them. I don't always like them, but I try to understand why humans like things."

"Non-sentient animals? So, what about the sentient creatures of Earthland? What about dragons?"

Loke chuckled with a naughty smirk on his face. "Well, I didn't know she was a dragon when I first fucked her, but once she told me, that was some kinky sex. Hey, Natsu, do you have dragon lust spit?"

Gray's mouth dropped. "Wait, is that normal for dragons?"

"Told ya," Natsu said.

"She had that," Loke recalled fondly. "She never got to use it on me, she only told me about it. She didn't much like that I heal right away, like she wanted to scratch me up and use it on me."

Natsu recited, "A mate cleans up the mess, and the dragon protects the mate…"

"… cures any wounds, and stays with the mate until both recover," Loke chimed in along with him. "Those are the exact words she said."

Natsu hummed. "I think it's a dragon law or custom or something. It's a deeply ingrained instinct. I would probably get upset too if I bit Gray but couldn't heal him. Hey, wanna see me use it? I like to bite, and I should still be able to heal him for a few more minutes."

"Please don't," Gray sighed. "I'm too tired now."

"Perhaps another time," said Loke. "So, are you interested in the taste of blood?"

"Yes!" Natsu cried out. "Wait, is that a dragon thing?"

"Maybe, because she was also upset that I don't bleed."

Natsu stared ahead in amazement. "So, it's a dragon thing, it's not … it's not because…" Not because of his bloody past and that time of insanity.

"It's definitely something at least some dragons like," said Loke. "Not all, but the fiercer ones do."

"My dad was the fiercest," Natsu declared proudly.

Gray hummed. "So, you dated a dragon lady?"

"Dated isn't really the word I'd use. She hated male dragons, but she was too rough for humans. Then she met me, a Celestial Spirit whom she could claw and bite and I healed right away. Roughest sex ever! The relationship was spotty. Dragons live for centuries, so I met up with her off and on maybe a few times a decade, usually one of my masters being an idiot and trying to fight her. After she inevitably beat their asses, I'd show up later that day, she'd be in a horny mood after getting to fight, and the sex was amazing. Raw and fierce!"

"Tell me about it!" Gray hummed. He began to get up. "Well, I need to shower off. It's seriously stuffy in here, and I'm sweating. Still got sea water on me," he muttered as he stood and dressed. "You two cuddle."

With Gray gone, Loke rolled over to Natsu, curling onto him. Natsu took over cuddling him, kneading his fingers through the fluffy orange hair

"Mm … such warm hands," Loke said, sounding sleepy. "Is it weird that sometimes, I just want your hands on me? I think about it, although I stay back out of respect. Still, those hands are so hot, so comforting. I would be utterly happy just walking through town holding hands with you."

"Do you have a hand kink?"

Loke chuckled and looked at Natsu. "Why, do you?"

"No, but Gray does."

"Ah, right, I remember that. The way he responds really is slutty."

"Hey!" Gray said, pulling on a shirt that was bound the vanish before the end of the night. "Don't talk about me behind my back while I'm gone."

"Yes, dear," Loke said, and Natsu giggled.

Gray paused, admiring the two. Loke was stroking Natsu's forehead and putting him into a trance-like daze of relaxation, while Natsu clung to Loke with neediness. There was so much trust between them, and Loke understood Natsu on a level Gray simply could not reach. While Gray wished he could do this on his own, healing Natsu was not his job alone. It would take professional therapists, friends, and maybe a little assistance in more personal areas. Loke had far more experience, and Gray trusted him. Natsu was so comfortable with him, and Loke was so attentive to their comfort levels.

It was bittersweet to see how Natsu's fingers ran through his hair. Purely for Natsu's sake … Gray almost wished he had gone to Loke that first night. Maybe he would have been healed from his scars by now.

"Gray?"

He yanked himself out of what was about to be a long fall into bitter regrets. Natsu's voice was so sweet, and his smile captivated Gray, pulling him out of the darkness.

"Don't take too long. I want to hold you."

That soft request reached out, burning away the cold flakes of doubt. Natsu came to him that first night because Loke was already with Lucy. Gray had fallen so deeply in love with him over the past year. He would stay by his side. He would see this through, no matter what it took. He would be there to help Natsu, heal him, and pull in others like Loke to help on this quest. Still, the only two who would travel that road from beginning to end would be them, and them alone.

"I … adore you. So much." His heart burned, filled to the brim with the ardor in Natsu's eyes. "I'll be right back. Don't take too long, you two."

As Gray exited the tent, the purple runes glowed around him, coalescing again to keep the inside of the tent soundproof.

Then heard Laxus' bombastic voice. "The hell took you so long? Did you fall asleep in the middle of things?"

"They're not done."

Then they heard Freed. "They? Wait, is Loke in there?"

Laxus grumbled, "Yeah, I smell that bastard. Lucy, keep a leash on your Lion. Tell them to get the fuck out of there. It's my turn."

"Calm down, dear."

Loke looked amused. "Sexually frustrated Dragon Slayers are not a thing to mess with."

"Nope!" Natsu said with a snickering laugh.

Loke sighed and sank into Natsu's arms. "As much as I don't want to get electro-zapped by Laxus, I need a little more time."

"Same here," Natsu said, starting to rub his cheek against Loke's fluffy orange hair. "You're soft and cuddly."

"Why thank you!" After a moment of enjoying the way Natsu snuggled him, Loke said cautiously, "I was thinking. I know we just said only one person gets to fuck your ass, but … you know, there is one other thing you could try to get used to anal sex." Loke smiled at him. "Me."

Natsu's eyes widened.

"You've been in an ass, you just have an issue with coming in one because it triggers your fears about getting someone pregnant. Mouths are okay because the person swallows, and that makes it unusable, and you're okay if the cum is outside a body. But you see, as soon as I go back to the Spirit World, the sperm cells would obliterate instantly from the concentrated magic, so it'd still be useless." He caressed Natsu's cheek as he saw a scowl on his face. "I know you want Gray to be your first, but—"

"Yes, I do," Natsu snapped. "It's a nice offer, and it'd probably work, but what if it only worked for you, because I can tell myself it's safe only with you? Then what about Gray? You saw him, he started to look like he regrets this. Not that he didn't want to have you fuck him, but that it's me you're with now. If it was me fucking you … hell no. He'd never agree, and I want only his ass. I'm okay with you fucking him, but I'm not okay with that for myself."

Loke soothingly stroked Natsu's forehead, getting the crease there to ease away. "You're so devoted to him. I can't even begin to imagine what that's like. I'm not monogamous at all, and I know that upset Lucy at first. I simply … can't be that way. But I know some humans appreciate that. Gray was your first, and you want him to be your only."

"Yeah," Natsu said stubbornly. "My one and only. He's my mate for life."

Loke raised an eyebrow. "For life?"

Natsu gasped as he realized what he had said. "W-Well, that is … I wouldn't mind … i-if he wanted me that long, then I … I…"

Loke chuckled and had to soothe Natsu all over again. "That's wonderful. In that case, I really do want to help you two get better. Gray deserves someone as loyal as you, after all he's been through with bad relationships."

"Bad?" Natsu asked. He had never really asked Gray about his past relationships, not wanting to hear about them out of jealousy, but now he was curious.

"Did Gray ever mention his first boyfriend?"

"A little. Just that it didn't last long, and the guy broke up with him for always being away on missions."

Loke hummed and nodded. "Gray was head-over-heels for that guy. I don't blame him; he was the most adorable little muffin. They had a big fight after a mission that took longer than Gray thought it would. His boyfriend wanted to break up, Gray wanted to work out something, but the other guy dropped a bombshell on him: he had been cheating on Gray almost from the day they hooked up. He told Gray, to his face, that he was inexperienced and awful at anal sex. He needed it more often and better than what Gray could do. So although he liked that Gray was a bit of a celebrity, he had been sleeping around behind his back from the start."

"Fucker," Natsu growled.

"Gray fell into depression real bad. He was determined to be better at sex, so he got into a relationship with a guy who topped. There wasn't any love between them, but Gray didn't care. He was hurting, maybe it was a distraction from the grief, and he figured he could learn how to be a good lover for the next time he fell for someone. If anything, he learned what to never do. That guy was such an asshole, I personally went after him and made him pay."

"Good!" Natsu snapped.

"Gray slipped even deeper, and that's the time period of his life everyone teased him about."

"His man-whoring days," Natsu recalled. He had been guilty of mocking Gray about sleeping around a lot. He never realized that maybe Gray was doing that for some darker reason.

"He went from one girl to another, mostly to purge those two boyfriends out of his mind. I'll confess, I was a bad influence in that area. We hit up lots of bars and strip clubs, and I introduced him to some of my old girlfriends. However, I realized this was nothing more than an unhealthy distraction from something deeper in Gray. Then one of my old girlfriends told me about what Gray tried to do, some very basic bondage, but he was unskilled, and it had bruised her. That's when I took Gray under my wing."

"And you taught him about BDSM?"

"I put him on the right path. I offered sex, but he had been so damaged by those first two boyfriends, he wasn't ready for anal. That's why I'm shocked he was okay with you. I'm glad he was able to heal, especially enough to get to this point. Now, he has an amazing boyfriend to give him the loyalty he craves. More than bondage or kinks, Gray needs someone who will not betray and leave him."

Natsu stared straight ahead. "It must have killed him inside when I asked to call things off so I could try dating others. Shit, if I had known—"

"If you hadn't done that, you two would have kept on hurting yourselves. You knew what you needed, and at least you two talked it over. You didn't cheat on him. Just like he didn't cheat on you today. It was something you two agreed upon. You're not angry at him for this, are you?"

"No," Natsu murmured, feeling relaxed in Loke's arms. "I trust you, and it was my decision."

"Exactly." Loke smiled as he outlined Natsu's Fairy Tail symbol. "Do you think this is something you want to try again?"

"Yeah, I want both of you in my ass."

Loke burst into laughter. "I really like how blunt you are about things." He gave Natsu a fleeting kiss. "What else do you want?"

"Well," Natsu muttered, "I mentioned it to Gray, but he was against it. I thought maybe if I was inside Gray, but you were too, like … like both of us at the same time…"

"Double penetration," Loke said, nearly purring the words.

"Y-Yeah, if we did that, then maybe I would feel safe in there, because you're with me, and then even if I came, you'd be coming too, so it's like half as less scary. But Gray said no."

"Then respect that. Stuff like double penetration and fisting aren't for everyone."

"Fisting?" Natsu asked sharply. "What's that?"

Loke chuckled and cuddled Natsu into him. "I trained Gray on how to be a BDSM lover, but it seems that I have to train you as well. If you'll let me."

Natsu blushed, feeling safe but also embarrassed by how naïve he still was. "Just tell me about stuff, no showing, not without Gray around."

Loke circled his finger around Natsu's flushed ear. "Then I'll tell you, but I don't promise that it won't leave you squirming."

Five minutes later, Natsu was biting his lip, and he had to admit, he now had a boner stabbing into Loke's abdomen; however, Loke did not offer to take care of it, and Natsu mentally could not stroke it away.

"That … is fisting? How … why … I mean, does it feel good?"

"It can." Loke shifted his body, enough to rub up Natsu's cock without touching it. "Does it sound like something you might like?"

His teeth nibbled on his lower lip, but he nodded.

"Bring it up with Gray when you're ready."

Suddenly, the tent flap was nearly ripped right off, sunlight crashed in, and a massive blond shape burst through. "Okay, time's up, get the fuck out. And why does it still smell like horny teenager in here? The fuck, are you two still naked? Get out!"

Natsu pulled back, but he stayed where he was, hoping his boner would go down. Instead, Loke stood right up, and in a flash he was wearing a green shirt and capris. "Give him a moment, okay? He was taking care of me."

"Care of you? What, did he fuck the star-juice out of your brains?"

"Har-har," Loke said sarcastically. "Now seriously, get out and let him dress."

"Or what?" Laxus challenged.

Loke chuckled and cracked his knuckles. "Oh, gonna be that way, huh?"

A petite hand suddenly grabbed Laxus and pulled him back with surprising strength. Lucy glared at him. "You two are not going to fight and ruin my vacation. Is that understood?" she growled with a dark aura all around her.

"Aye, sir!" Natsu squawked out of instinct.

Loke was almost drooling. "She is so sexy when she's fierce."

Now Freed came up and held Laxus back. "Now, now. Another minute won't cause a problem."

Loke shut the tent door and turned to Natsu. "Better hurry."

Natsu finally got up. His boner had softened during the confrontation, so he hurriedly found his clothes and left the tent with Loke. Barely had he passed the purple runes, Laxus threw him aside and stomped in, a defined bulge already in his trousers.

Freed shook his head. "You let Loke watch? Seriously, you should have told me. It's part of my kink, watching but not actually getting involved, only helping couples by observing and ordering. Next time, I want to watch too."

Lucy stepped up. "Well, if it's a group watching the action, I'd love to join in."

Loke looked down to Natsu. "What do you think about making this something the whole group can watch?"

Natsu's face burst into red. "N-Not … Not with anyone but Gray. Only me and Gray."

"That's reasonable," Loke decided. "Get Gray's permission. We'll talk more about it later."

Freed simpered, "I'll reserve the biggest room in the sex dungeon."

Laxus' head popped out of the tent, and they briefly saw that he was stark naked. "Why the fuck is there a floating ass in the tent?"

Natsu gasped. "Oops! That's mine."

Laxus had it in his hands, ready to throw the ass at Natsu's head, but Freed swooped in, deftly clutching the sex toy out of Laxus' hand.

"Now, now, those things stay in the tent. Just put it in the corner. And please don't shout things like that in public." Then Freed turned to Natsu. "A rule of the tent: put your toys and supplies away."

"My fault," Loke said. "It's my gift to Natsu, and he didn't know about that rule." After Freed went into the tent, Loke rolled his eyes. "Ugh, that guy and his rules, rules, rules!"

Lucy came up to Natsu. "Did it help you?"

Natsu glanced up to Loke, and just then he saw Gray approaching across the sand dunes. "Yeah … yeah, I think it did help."

Lucy gave him a hug. "Don't be too proud to call on us for help. We're your friends."

Gray slowed his approach as he saw Lucy hugging Natsu, and then Loke patting his head. Once again, his thoughts drifted.

If Natsu had not left Loke and Lucy that first night, but had barged in anyway and got adopted into their relationship as a threesome … if it had been those two helping him instead of him.

Natsu's eyes met his, and Lucy looked around to see him. Her smile was a ray of light, and next to her Loke waved Gray over, his hair literally like the sun that ruled the Leo Constellation. Two glowing beings!

What was he? Cold, sadistic, confused, messed up inside…

"Gray?"

And once again, that voice calling to him pulled him away from the edge of darkness.

Over by Natsu, Lucy whispered in worry. "Sub-drop?"

"Looks like it," Loke muttered. "Natsu, how would you like your first lesson as a future Top?"

Loke whispered some instructions to Natsu, and then he and Lucy moved aside. Natsu walked across the hot sand and over to Gray, rubbing up his arm.

"Come with me. I haven't washed yet, but I wanna swim."

"You said it was too cold."

"I'll heat it up!" he declared smugly. "I … I wanna hold you more, but the tent is occupied. Remember that spot out by the rocks that we used once."

"Ooh yeah," Gray chuckled, remembering when he and Natsu had made out, stroking and sucking each other off with the surf pounding their bodies. "But I'm seriously too tired."

"Not that! Just holding each other." He brought up Gray's hand and kissed his fingers. "I didn't get to cuddle enough, damn Laxus! So … I need you, kainushi."

Whatever darkness had been in Gray's face was instantly banished away, and a smug smile replaced it. "Is my dragon being needy?"

Natsu pressed up close to him. "I know you satisfy me. Only you."

Gray squeezed Natsu's hand and began to lead him out to the surfline. Under the beach umbrella, Loke and Lucy watched them.

"He still might have issues. Sub-drop can last days."

"Yeah, but luckily he'll be with Natsu today and tomorrow."

"So," she said, turning toward him, "did you enjoy finally getting a little winter rumpus?"

"It was quite enjoyable, yes. Natsu got a go at him as well."

Lucy's mouth dropped. "Natsu? I thought he can't—"

"It's a slow process, but he took a big step today."

Lucy sighed and leaned into Loke. "I really want them to live happily ever after."

Loke thought about what Natsu had let slip right at the end. "Oh, I think they're taking big steps toward that as well."
