"Ngggggggggggggh!"

BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING BOING

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHG!!! CAN YOU PLEASE STOP THAT?!"

Lucy shouted while she also pleaded with Shia, as the rabbit girl bounced around while listening to music on her modified headphones, completely naked.

"What was that?" Shia asked innocently as she removed her headphones, making Lucy groan once more as she avoided looking at the rabbitgirl's exposed melons, which were comparable in size to her own.

One thing Lucy had always been proud of was her looks and large breasts, but after having met Rias and the others her pride in them was completely shattered. She hadn't registered this at first due to everything that had been happening at the time yesterday, but now that everyone was either running around completely naked or in swimsuits, she was seeing it all firsthand.

Sun was currently relaxing alongside Yami in a small pool while wearing their swimsuits, and Grayfia was taking the rare moment to relax as she and Shizuku tanned in their own bikinis. Meanwhile Shia, Kuroka, Rias, Lala, Moka and even Anne were all lounging or playing in the buff as they drifted through the sky, dumbfounding Lucy at how carefree they were, while also simultaneously reminding her of Gray with his stripping habit. Of course the most shameless one was Yue, who was also naked as she laid on Alex's body and made out with him while her hand snuck its way into his swim trunks, which currently had an all too noticeable bulge.

"What is with all of you....?" Lucy muttered as she tried to comprehend how they could all be so carefree when they were flying into a battle, making Shia shrug as she put the headphones back on and resumed dancing.

When she thought of the danger her comrades were in, Lucy couldn't help but shake slightly from nerves. They had barely managed to drive off Grimoire Heart once before, but now their opponents had over seven years to prepare while she and the others slept, they were also accompanied by the rest of the dark guilds under their control, and even one of the four generals. She would stand by Fairy Tail and the others until the end, but Lucy still had a hard time imagining them winning the upcoming fight, unless.....

"Thinking of the coming fight?" A voice suddenly asked, disrupting Lucy's thoughts as she turned and saw Grayfia standing there. Nodding slowly, she then asked,

"How are all of you so carefree when you know what's about to happen? Who we're about to fight?" Surprisingly, the silver haired maid smirked confidently and stated,

"This is far from our first battle, and it'll be far from our last. Not to mention that after the opponents we've faced before these dark guild people will be hard pressed to present us a proper challenge, numbers or not. The only real issue will be this so-called 'Dark Emperor' and his generals." Grayfia then got a distant look as she contemplated what kind of opponents their real enemies would be, during which Lucy looked back at Alex and Yue, as he started groping and massaging her butt, and remarked with a undisguised deadpan,

"Yeah, but he's the one who looks the least concerned out of everyone here..." As she said that Lucy recalled one of the reasons she had been so irritable this morning, which was the loud noises she had overheard coming from Alex's room after everyone had gone to bed. With her face turning completely red as she recalled what she overheard, Grayfia smiled wryly and was about to say something when suddenly,

"What's wrong~Nya?" Kuroka suddenly butted in, as she wrapped her arms around Lucy's neck from behind in an overfamiliar manner and pressed her naked breasts into her back, making her tense up suddenly. Kuroka smirked and asked in whisper into Lucy's ear,

"Could it be you're jealous~Nya? Or maybe you're thinking of something lewd~Nya? Or is it a little bit of both?" As she trailed off Kuroka flashed her pearly white teeth with a sinister smile, making Lucy shudder slightly as the Nekomata's hands started getting a little too touchy.

Regardless of how she squirmed and tried to get away from Kuroka's lecherous grasp though, Lucy couldn't escape her impossible grip as she muttered, "N-no, I'm not jealous at all! And stop touching me!" Kuroka's sinister smile widened though as she reached up with one hand and started fondling one of Lucy's breasts, making her feel very differently than when Bora did it the day before.

"Is that so~Nya? You're saying you don't feel anything at all when you look at them together~Nya?" Reluctantly, Lucy looked over at Alex and the once more, only to see their shamelessness had gone even further with Alex's towering manhood now free of the its previous restraints, as Yue's hand slowly stroked it up and down. That, combined with him shamelessly rubbing and playing with her butt, created such an image of indecency that Lucy couldn't help but wonder how such people existed.

However, when she looked closer, she saw that despite their obvious and blatant lust for each other, there was also a deep and profound affection in both of their eyes as they reveled in their intimacy and contact with the other, that went beyond just basic desire. Lucy's eyes darkened then as she stopped struggling to get free of Kuroka's grasp, and recalled a certain pink haired Dragon Slayer waiting for her back at Tenrou...no, he waiting for beetles, not her.

No longer caring about Kuroka's mischievous hands, one of which was currently trying sneak its way into the front of her bikini bottoms, Lucy broke of her grip and stormed off, leaving Grayfia and Kuroka watching her retreat with inquisitive eyes. Grayfia then looked at Kuroka, and asked seriously,

"What is it you're trying to do with her cat? I doubt you'd act this way towards her unless you had a reason to." Kuroka smirked mischievously at Grayfia's remark, and said with a dismissal shrug,

"Who knows~Nya, but I will say that the amount of 'fate' involved with that girl is quite interesting~Nya." As she never concerned herself with 'fate' too much, Grayfia was left wondering what Kuroka was talking about as the naughty cat strutted away, her six tails swaying hypnotically above her naked ass. Meanwhile Lucy went to enter the main cabins, only to nearly run into Kurumu as the also naked succubus exited them with a tray full of milkshakes.

"What was that about?" Kurumu wondered to herself as she watched Lucy swiftly retreat into the cabins, before shrugging and saying as she turned back towards everyone else, "Who wants a milkshake?"

Naturally everyone wanted an iced treat to help stave off the intense heat they were currently being assaulted by, even though they had used magic so that it wasn't too unbearable. Pointedly saving Alex's for last, she made her rounds delivering one to every person exactly the way they wanted it, some extra thick or thin, some with added goodies such as candy or fruit, or even peculiar flavors or combinations. Finally she made her way towards Yue and Alex, where she gave the vampiress her strawberry shake with a few drops of Alex's blood mixed in for added flavor. Yue took a small sip, and sighed in contention before looking at Kurumu and asking,

".....maybe next time I'll-"

"Hell no!" Kurumu immediately replied with a bright smile, making Yue sulk slightly as she continued sucking on her milkshake.

It was a unanimous and strict agreement that Yue, Moka, Kuroka, and Lala were all forbidden from entering the kitchen and preparing food, lest they all suffer through the night for it. In Yue and Moka's case, both of them were so bad at cooking that it was still a debatable topic on wether or not their magic/kicks or cooking were more lethal. Kuroka had a similar problem, except she'd also take the chance while she was in the kitchen to either mess with other people's food, or wouldn't practice usual courtesy such as washing her hands. She also had the habit of drinking directly from the container and putting it back, arguing that none of them should mind considering the things they usually do together at night anyways, only to hear back that this and that were two completely different things, and it was the principle of the matter. Meanwhile Lala just had the habit of trying to add her favorite spice to any dish she happened to be around, dark matter seasoning, which very few people appreciated.

It was for this very reason that Yue didn't even try to argue back when Kurumu immediately shut her down about helping her prepare some treats the next time she made them, having spent a few nights 'suffering' through a sampling of her own cooking before more or less giving up. The succubus however then turned towards Alex and said with a large smile and sultry tone, "And for my darling Alex, a bit of an extra surprise!"

She then turned around to hide what she doing to his drink from view, before slowly turning back towards him and saying as she present her 'extra surprise', her own breast sitting on top of the actual shake with a pile of whip cream on top. "Tada! One titty milkshake with extra whip cream and even a 'cherry' to nibble on!"

Alex's own expression morphed into a wide smile when he saw what Kurumu offered him, as he leaned forward and grabbed her by the ass as he said, "Thank you for the meal!" He then leaned down and unhesitantly began licking the melting whipped cream off the top of Kurumu's breast, making her giggle from how ticklish it felt. That only lasted up he started gravitating towards her 'cherry' though, causing her voice to transition from sexy and playful, to purely erotic as he clamped down onto her already rock hard nipple, making her moan echo over Zenith's deck.

As Alex started playing with Kurumu, Yue hummed with annoyance at the side despite the fact that she had been monopolizing Alex's attention for quite a while now. When she glanced at the remnant of the whipped cream on her milkshake though, she suddenly got an idea that she began working on.

Alex however focused on Kurumu as eagerly alternated between sucking on her excited nipple, and enjoying his milkshake while his hands freely toyed with her butt. It was right as Kurumu began running her thighs together, and was about to ask for something more, when they heard from Yue's direction,

"Ehem." Alex turned to look at her and his eyes widened in surprise at what he saw, while Kurumu huffed this time when she saw what Yue was up to. Now, she was laying on her back with her arms hooked behind her knees to pull her legs up while simultaneously spreading them so Alex could easily see what she had prepared for him.

Running from asshole to clit was a thick line of whipped cream that perfectly covered her enticing snatch, a very obvious invitation that would make Alex a fool to even think of turning down. He then proceeded to pick up the petite vampiress, and pin her shoulders up against cabin wall before burying his face between her legs.

"...Ngh....!"

Yue fought down a moan, making Alex smirk into her snatch as he eagerly rimmed her tight asshole, before slowly and teasingly bringing his tongue up her lower lips and flicking it against the little bead at the top. He felt Yue's entire body twitch when he teased it, before she then started shuddering as his tongue proceeded to explore every single fold of her increasingly hot sex for the sweet cream.

A sudden movement around his lower body tempted Alex to stop what he was doing and look down, but even without doing so he knew it Kurumu as she tried to find access to his still exposed manhood. She then proceeded to haul the shorts that were still barely hanging onto his hips down to his ankles, before grasping his burning hot rod in her impeccably soft hand.

She then proceeded to slowly stroke the shaft of his manhood while her lips closed around its swollen head, encasing it in the burning hot vacuum of her mouth as her tongue slowly circled it. Alex groaned into Yue's crotch as he enjoyed Kurumu's mouth around his cock, prompting her to slowly take in more and more of his length.

Soon her progress was being helped as Alex started to slowly move his hips back and forth at an increasing speed, until he was genuinely face fucking Kurumu while eating Yue out, the sound of his balls slapping against Kurumu's chin echoing across Zenith's deck. For several minutes this and Yue's attempts to suppress her moans were the only things anyone could hear, until the vampiress suddenly let an uncharacteristically shrill cry when one of Alex's fingers suddenly found its way into her asshole.

"...HYA...!"

The petite vampiress started to squirm and struggle in Alex's grasp, as his draconic tongue wreaked havoc inside her pussy, and his finger mercilessly assaulted her backdoor. Meanwhile Kurumu was making short work of Alex's cock as she eagerly slobbered and sucked on it even as he face fucked her, while her succubus's tail had plunged deep into her own snatch and wiggled too and fro as it also brought her pleasure.

Using her powers over pleasure, Kurumu expertly manipulated Alex and Yue's bodies as they steadily built up to their impending climax, until a massive wave overcame all three at once, as Kurumu came onto the floor beneath them, while Alex pumped her mouth full of his life giving seed, and Yue spasmed so hard that she would have fallen to the ground if not for Alex supporting her body. For over a minute the trio recovered from their intense orgasm, until Kuroka's voice called out,

"Over here~Nya!" Alex looked over at her and grinned at what he saw.

With the exception of Grayfia, Yami, and Sun, the rest of his women were standing before him with various sweets smeared or plastered onto their bodies. Even Shizuku was standing off to the side fidgeting embarrassedly, her bikini top discarded as instead she had a dollop of whipped cream covering each of her nipples.

"Talk about a sweet treat..." Alex muttered to himself, even as he pulled out of Kurumu's mouth and gently laid Yue down, before slowly walking towards the crowd of women to accept their offering.

Behind them Grayfia snorted incredulously as she turned away from the spectacle, finding it unbelievable that they would still entertain such a weird play. What she didn't notice though was Kuroka sneakily approaching her from behind, her 'Stealth' at full power as she cradled a hand full of whipped cream, and her eyes firmly locked on the maid's bikini bottoms.

***

Several hours after she had angrily stormed away, Lucy was soaking in the expansive baths that were present in the flying ship's interior, grateful for the relaxing waters as her mind raced. Though in the back of her mind she recalled that she needed to apologize to Kurumu and Kuroka for shoving them earlier, having already forgotten what exactly Kuroka was doing to her at the time, the majority of Lucy's thoughts were centered on Natsu, and the differences between him and Alex when it came to women.

The most obvious difference was that Alex was nowhere near as dense as Natsu was when it came to women, either in making them happy or pleasuring them. What Lucy couldn't figure out though was how he had managed to get so many women to willingly share him, and remain faithful. Normally she would contribute their presence to the usual scenario of women flocking to a man with power or influence, or, on an even darker note, him using underhanded means to force them to stay with him.

However it was obvious that it wasn't either of those theories just based off of what she witnessed earlier that had made her so angry, and that was the pure love and affection in Alex and Yue's eyes, even as they toyed with the other's body. While she had absolutely no intentions towards Alex himself, Lucy couldn't help the bitter feelings in her heart as she recalled her last interaction with Natsu, before she was almost shipped off to the Dark Emperor to be tortured for information, or worse.

Just as her expression turned dark once more, the door to the bathroom suddenly opened and in came the same horde of women she had just been wondering about, all of which were a mess from 'playing' around for a while now, with expressions of satisfaction or contentment on their faces.

"That was fun!" Shia declared as she sat down at a wash station, and started rinsing off the leftover cream that was left on her body. Though the responses she got were in agreement for the most part, Grayfia still spat with seething rage in her voice,

"I will remember this cat!" Kuroka snickered at her promise, and replied,

"Just admit you enjoyed it~Nya." A silvery aura started radiating around Grayfia at Kuroka's teasing, as she snarled,

"One. More. Word. Cat! I dare you!" Though she still snickered, Kuroka remained otherwise silent at Grayfia's threat as she washed herself, and everyone else fought back a series of giggles as they recalled what had happened to her.

Seeing everyone relax and fooling around, Lucy could only look at them in awe since she had briefly witnessed them 'playing' with Alex when she poked her head back out earlier.

"How can you all do it?" She asked suddenly in a low voice, getting everyone's attention at once despite how quietly she spoke.

"How can we do what?" Anne asked curiously, making Lucy look at her seriously, a silent plea in her eyes.

"How can you all love the same man, and share him like its nothing while also being so happy?" Their relationship with Alex, their interactions with each other, and how casual they could be about the entire thing, she couldn't understand any of it no matter how much she tried. Her question however made everyone look at each other curiously, before Rias suddenly said,

"Well polygamy is pretty common in the world's we came from, so none of us thought about it too much." Moka nodded in agreement at her words, and continued,

"While Alex's harem is more than a little 'excessive', with literally several hundred women vying for his affections, he genuinely tries to make sure everyone who wants to be with him is happy instead of just taking them for granted." The rest of the women around them nodded in agreement at Moka and Rias's words, as they all briefly recalled their own backgrounds and circumstances.

Rias, Grayfia, and Kuroka had come from a supernatural society where it was a common rule of thumb that anyone with power was bound to have numerous women at their beck and call, with Rias's own father processing his own harem that was managed by his official wife, Venelana. Yue on the other hand was originally royalty of the feudal world of Tortus, where once again it wasn't strange for people with power and influence to process multiple wives. While Shia was also from the same world, she however didn't put much stock into things like wives as long as she could be with the man who had saved her entire clan from enslavement and death, a sentiment shared with her entire clan.

Moka was similar to Rias in that her own father was polygamist, while Kurumu was a succubus who's entire being revolved around 'love', which meant she'd literally follow Alex into death without any hesitation should it ever happen. Then there was Lala who was also aware of the existence of polygamy in the universe she came from, which prompted her to repeatedly suggest both her and her best friend Haruna marrying Yuki Rito when he was alive, so that both women could be happy. Then finally was Anne, who came from a primitive world that harbored many dangers for its people, which meant there was naturally greater mortality rate for the men who had to hunt to provide food for their village, while also defending them from any threats that there might have been.

Amongst the girls present the odd ones out were Shizuku, Sun, and Yami, who all had their own circumstances for joining Alex's peerage. Shizuku had essentially sold herself to the devil in exchange for power to help her friends, a deal that wasn't anywhere near as hard for her to make as most might think. Sun had initially been invited by Alex to join his peerage, which she originally refused, but when she saw how peaceful the world of Asora was under him she had changed her mind, deciding to put her powers to use helping him defend that peace. And finally Yami had been 'forced' to accept Alex's 'Pawn' piece after he beat her in a duel, which he had done in an effort to help her recover from the heartbreak she suffered from losing her first love.

One by one the girls recounted their experiences with Alex, both leading up to them joining his harem and after, which made Lucy go wide eyed at their stories. They had already informed her about their not originally coming from that world earlier that morning, as there was no point in trying to hide it with people like the Dark Emperor running around, and so she was greatly interested in learning more about the places they had come from. Eventually though, Grayfia then said,

"While our own experiences might not be informative due to our 'unique' circumstances and backgrounds, I think what is most important is that you ask yourself what YOU want." Lucy was silent as she contemplated Grayfia's words, as she also asked herself 'what do I want?'

She thought back to her childhood after her mother died, leaving only her father and their servants to look after her. Though the servants had taken care of her as best as they could, whenever she tried to make her dad happy or proud he had instead yelled at her for neglecting her lessons for 'nonsense', ultimately leading to her running away from home before joining Fairy Tail. Though they eventually reconciled somewhat after he lost his entire fortune, her father, Jude, had died while Lucy and the rest slumbered on Tenrou island, meaning that there only the one moment that she recalled in her life where he had truly loved her as his daughter, and not just as an asset to his company.

And then there was Natsu, who had brought her to the guild that she had previously only dreamed of joining, and asked her to form a team with him to take on requests together. Though he had primarily asked due to the specifics of his current request, which required a 'beautiful blond maid', the duo had maintained a partnership throughout Lucy's entire career as a Fairy Tail Mage, going through thick and thin together repeatedly.

After experiencing several hardships and battles together it was only natural that a guy and girl begin to cultivate certain feelings for one another, as evidenced with Levy and the two guys that had been a part of her team until Gajeel showed up. However, despite everything they'd been through together and even several teasing remarks from the older members of the guild, Natsu hadn't shown even the slightest hint of being a little bit more interested in her.

Instead his interests apparently aligned purely with fighting, causing trouble, and apparently bugs.

Lucy's clenched fists trembled when she thought of this, as she muttered to herself, "I just want to know what it's like to be loved, is that so bad?!" The rest of the girls around looked at her with pity at her words, each wondering what kind of life she had lived up until now.

Of course Lucy wasn't trying to say that she was completely unloved by those around her, everyone at Fairy Tail cared for her and had even readily gone to war with their rival guild, Phantom Lord, in order to defend her. Even when their guild hall was destroyed, their master grievously wounded, and several of their members viciously attacked, none had blamed her. Instead, they had directed all of their anger against the ones responsible, effectively destroying the rival guild in the process.

What Lucy craved was genuine affection, to be able to genuinely love someone and be loved by them in return. Was that truly too much to ask for?

Though none of the other girls could give her an immediate answer, they were surprised when Kuroka slowly slid up to her, and wrapped her arms around her while saying,

"Believe it or not~Nya, I know of a way for you to be loved." Lucy looked up at Kuroka suspiciously at her words, already having an idea of what she was referring to. Before she could say anything though, Kuroka whispered seductively into her ear,

"Did you know~Nya, that as members of Alex's peerage we hold a special place in his heart, and at his side?" Though Lucy was about to tell Kuroka she didn't care, a part of her made her pause as she silently wondered, 'what was Kuroka implying?' She didn't even need to ask though as the Nekomata continued,

"No matter if anyone else in his harem eventually moves on, those of us in his peerage will remain at his side for eternity, and we alone are strengthened by our bond with him." Lucy was silent for several seconds when she heard that, before hesitantly asking,

"What do you mean?" Kuroka smirked as Lucy nibbled the bait she dangled in front of her, before saying with a bit of her own demonic charm mixed into her voice,

"When Alex grants someone one of his evil pieces, then they get access to some of the same abilities that make him so unique, abilities that will continue to make them significantly more powerful. And since the evil piece reincarnates the one who uses it into a devil, their lifespan increases almost indefinitely and they gain the ability to use demonic powers, a type of magic unlike anything this world has seen."

Lucy's eyes widened when she heard that, but she wasn't quite sure what to think about what Kuroka was implying. Meanwhile Kuroka continued whispering sweet things into Lucy's ear as she tried to push her closer into seeking to join Alex's peerage. Her reason for doing this was, as she mentioned to Grayfia earlier, due to the fact that Lucy had significantly more 'fate' than Rias, Yue, Moka, and Lala, making her think that it might be worthwhile to have her join them as their comrade despite how weak she appeared.

Another reason was that Kuroka was well aware that Alex still had several evil pieces left, and that as long as he still had some to spare he would actively seek out more women to join his harem, something she hoped to lessen if they were taken up sooner rather than later. She also expected that Alex would potentially try to recruit Lucy eventually anyways since he had intended to do so with Shia, Kurumu, and Moka before, all of who were seemingly weak when they first met them, though Moka's powers were just sealed.

With these goals in mind, Kuroka continued whispering temptation into Lucy's ear, believing this was best way to ensure the girls happiness while also furthering their own goals.
