****I don't own Fairtail,***
A few days later the blond Celestial mage had managed to finally drag the embarrassed Sphinx to the guild. Lucy had spent a whole night at Sphinx's place, convincing the female that everything would work out just fine.
She had even held a whole speech about family and acceptance. It had warmed her heart to see the blond go to so much trouble for her.
Sphinx reached the bar counter and she once again slumbered against it. She let out a loud huff, while prying her mask off and closed her eyes. The way her ears relaxed and tail lowered brought a smile to Lucy. She had wanted to hide them again but Lucy had made the point that nobody would care.
-Are you okey sphinx? Mira asked.
-We have been pretty worried about you, everybody was a little confuse on what happened but don't worry there is nothing we can't handle,
-But how ya holding up, that's as far as I've ever seen your 'mode' go?
Cana said sounding surprisingly sober and serious as she watched those blue eyes still swirl brightly. She may like putting Sphinx in different situations but she never want any harm.
-I still feel like I'm burning up, she mumbled in an almost whiny noise,
-Stupid dragons, stupid seith mage and stupid Bacchus.
-Well if any consolation I think the drunken falcon will be thinking twice before messing with fairy tail women again, Lucy said happily.
Sphinx told them about the crazy evening and while she drank happily one of Miras famous milkshakes. The three males had yet to make an appearance at the guild so Sphinx let the tension go, for now. Rest of the guild gave her some funny looks but all and all they just seemed to accept her.
- What was all that about? Gray exclaimed as he sat down next to Lucy.
Well there goes that peace, Sphinx huffed in her drink.
-Well, I guess it started as a dare; she glanced at Lucy for help.
-I meant the tail, and the ear and the almost gang bag with fricking Laxus and Gajeel.
- And Bixlow, Lisanna pointed out popping out of nowhere to join the others at the bar.
-And Bixlow, Gray repeated.
Sphinx frowned at the curious eyes staring at her. Nothing with her was easy to explain, she knew they expected an answer and they did deserve one. But her mind was still too confused to start analyzing things herself.
Her eyes closed as she tried to concentrate on hiding her tail and ears. Nothing happened; a frown came to her face. She still hadn't regained total control.
- Im not sure how to explain that, She murmured quietly.
- So I assume that don't happen often? Lucy asked.
-Eh, no, umm, she struggled to find words as soft red tinted her face.
Gray and Lucy glanced at each other as soft smiled came to their lips. From her behaviors it was obvious that things hadn't gone according to plan. A strained whine escaped Sphinx's lips as her hand clutched her head.
-I can't believe all that even actually happen! Why didn't anyone stop me or them? Sphinx whined still obviously very embarrassed about the events.
- Well, from where I stand you could handle yourself, Gray chuckled at her teasingly.
- Honestly, I think everyone was just so stunned at all of it, nobody was able to do anything. Lucy tried to comfort her as she placed a sympathy hand on her shoulder.
- Sorry Sphinx I have to ask, but what happened with Bacchus when he caught you for the second time,
-I seemed like, ahm, ah..
Lucy blushed at the thought and her voice dipped with her embarrassment,
-you kind of liked it; Lisanna finished the sentence for her.
Sphinx grimaced but couldn't deny them as she saw the pure innocent fascination in their eyes. Sighing she turned towards them and thought how to explain it.
- Well you know how people have pressure points. Sphinx started her explaining earning nods from the people.
Sphinx didn't stop her explanation just nodded as Levi also joined them.'
- Yeah well we also have points that are very, very sensitive for stimulation. Everyone has them, men and women.
- Sometimes it only takes a little rubbing and voila you have the person all hot and bothered.
The woman looked at each other than at her again.
- But the effect are always individual, like for instincts the same spot on you Lucy might not have a same or as strong of a reaction on Lisanna,
- And if your skilled and actually know what you're doing there is a changes that you might even make a girl orgasm.
Sphinx grinned at the eager eyes. It was kind of funny how the young mages almost drank the information from her. Lucy watched happily as the first grin appeared on her face.
Much better,
- So that why you went slack then almost grinded him and moaned the way you did, Levi piped thoughtful making Sphinx look mortified again and turn toward the bar counter again.
- Oh Mavis, help me. She murmured shocked.
- W-what does feel like when he did it? Lisanna asked her cheeks going a little red.
Sphinx turned toward her and almost scowled at her, but soon realized she really wasn't playing or taunting her they just wanted to know,
So this is what girls talk is like?
-Hot, incredibly hot, it was like I would melt into the feeling it surround you just like those muscular arms, it awakens an urge like no other and you just want more.
Her voice had gone low husky almost as she remembered the feeling.
- It felt good, oh so sweet even a little overwhelming. Makes your knees week and toes curl.
-And, good God that man probably is really good with those hands, being a palm user and all.
She ran a hand threw her hair and let it stay rubbing her neck for a while as she shudder from the memory.
-So it's like g-spots, Gray said his voice low also.
Sphinx whipped her head towards him looking at him surprised then smiled pleased at the ice-mage. All the other women also looked at him before turning to her.
- Nice Gray, yes they are somewhat like g-spots at least the most sensitive ones. Some call the lesser ones also sweet spots. We have them all over our bodies.
Sphinx still held her eyes at Gray who had a small smirk on his face.
- So, you did the same thing to him then? Lucy asked.
-Yeah, I needed a distraction before I lost it, she sighed again.
- And that where Gajeel came in, Levi pointed out with an almost mischievous grin.
-Well, technically he just kind of innervated on his own. It shocked the hell out of me. But he did stop Bacchus; I mean the guy didn't want to admit that he lost. I mean that was totally my win, right?
- Oh definite, you should have seen his face when you flipped him over. Mira exclaimed finally participating in the conversation.
-I totally had a plan at first, I was going to do my thing, get him back for insulting the guild male ego, and then I would have just walked over to Laxus and…
- Oh so that's why he came down, I actually wondered about that? Mira interrupted thoughtfully.
-Yeah I asked him; you know dragon hearing and all, Sphinx pointed at her ears animatedly before being interrupted again.
- Oh, are you and Laxus two in good terms, I have never seen you two talks? Levi asked intrigued again grinning in that same grin that Sphinx really didn't like.
- No- not really, stop grinning like that,
she quickly said to the blue haired mage, who only managed to widen her grin.
- Anyway that's beside the point, Sphinx said while giving a little glare to still grinning Levi,
-Then I wa...
-Why Laxus? I mean the things Bacchus said, any man from the guild would have gotten your back.
Gray interrupted lifting a brow at her.
Sphinx leveled him a bewildered look.
- Your kidding me right, have you seen Laxus?
-Tall, handsome, built like a brick house, his like a wet dream, not to mention one of the strongest in the guild and a dragon slayer,
Even the thought of the blond slayer got Sphinx's pulse a little faster,
Delicious, she purred in her mind.
- So I figured he would be the ultimate form of representing the guilds male image. Besides I got Bixlow in the deal as well so..
- Though Gajeel pretty nice too…hmm those piercings…
Sphinx hummed while having a quick pleasant daydream of a shirtless iron dragon. The way he had held her with just one hand, did it just get warmer?
Someone coughed soon to snap her out of it.
Oh yeah right, back to the guild mind.
-who else would have been better to symbolize the guilds masculinity? Her voice dipped unintentionally as she explained her plan.
Sphinx soon noticed everyone was suddenly quiet and looking behind her. Immediately she felt a dread come. Levis grin just got a whole lot wider and the way Lucy tried to hold in a giggle was just to reviling.
- Oh come one, the dark haired mage muttered, she really didn't want to turn around.
- I have to agree with her on that one, the low baritone voice said before she felt a weight on her shoulders.
Laxus grinned at the dark haired mage who again looked away from him as he leaned forward. His large arm rested on her shoulders as the mountain of a man stepped to side.
- Fucking dragon hearing, she muttered under her breath again. The man let out a low bark of laughed.
She felt a hand stroke her long tail before she could bring it away from the offending hand. That of course was after she had let out a breathless sigh from the contact. Her head turned to the grinning Bixlow who had moved to her other side.
Sphinx glared at her tail, damn traitor,
- I'm curious what was your first plan going to go; I would have come down with my 'Strength and handsomeness' and then what?
The blond slayer taunted the woman who sent huff at this quotation.
-Ah, who knows, I tend to wing it as I go, she said as she gladly accepted the glass of water Mira handed to her.
Taking a sip she couldn't remember when water had tasted better. It soothed her heated insides and felt like heaven on her lips. A pleased noise came out and she hadn't even realized that she had closed her eyes and leaned her head backwards. Not even caring as a droplet escaped her lip and started to run down her throat.
- How the hell does she do that, hell you make that water look like it's made of some kind of sweet life nectarine while you drink it.
Bixlow laughed as she tilted her head towards him and opened one of those blue eyes.
Sphinx was about to shrug but then remember the heavy arm around her. It seemed that her plan of trying to ignore the hot blond next to her failed completely when she felt a hot breath on her sensitive ear making it press back automatically.
- Could you Laxus get your arm of me? She didn't look at the blond but focused on the glass in her hand as she tried to sound as neutral as possible, which failed as her voice seemed to waver.
- Nah, I think it kind of looks good right there, Sphinx could hear the smugness but that's not what annoyed her the most.
- KYAA, Mira couldn't help it, the squall just had escaped her as she held her hand in front of her face while watching the two.
Sphinx narrowed her eyes at the Mira who was now smiling as she clapped her hand together in front of her. The way Mira was looking at her then at Laxus then back at her was getting annoying. Sphinx huffed and turned and gave a sour look to the blond slayer.
-You did that on purpose, her voice didn't hide her annoyance at all.
As expected the man smirked at her only proving her point.
Everyone knew that you don't say anything that might even hint about your personal interest or relationships, in front of Mira. Unless you want her start pushing you toward that someone or even worse start take about some imaginary baby's. It actually could get very creepy.
Another annoying thing was that it was hard for her to be irritated when the Seith mage kept caressing her tail so well. The smooth strokes just made her want to relaxed and ask him to start 'stroking' her all over,
Damn it, agai, seriously I can't think about anything without it turning into something perverted.
Bixlow could see her blue eyes glance at him from time to time; it was like she tried to read his motives. However she didn't take her tail back. The black silky soft tail twisted and wavered in his hand almost even pushing for more contact.
The black haired mages reaction had been a surprise but oddly enough it was also very exciting. He like the way she couldn't help but to show her pleasure so openly, it was fun to know it was because of his petting,
And right now the way her face and body relaxed it was clear she was yet again affected.
Letting her scowl slip from her face she just concentrated on the smooth, skillful hand playing with her tail. Her ears flatten in content as she brought the glass to her lips again and drank the cool liquid slowly.
Sphinx could hear the other talk around her but she couldn't or more like didn't want to hear anymore. The sensation was like a drug as it wrapped her mind in a cozy blanket. How well the man could switch from light teasing touches to strong and sure strokes felt amazing.
Again it made her mind whisper and wonder what else he could possible do.
A noise so low Laxus was sure only he would be able to hear emitted from Sphinx. Looking down at the relaxed woman he couldn't help but be curiosity. The blond male lowered his head to her level and took a closer look at her before asking softly,
-What up with the ears and tails? Laxus blew hot air softly at the closer one making it twitch.
She didn't answer but sighed softly. Her eyes were half closed again and Laxus was just about to ask again before she started talking.
- Sorry, she mumbled softly,
-I usually cloak them, you know hide them with magic, people get weirder out from them, her words were lazy and sometimes they would end with a hum.
-What do you mean? He continued in his low voice,
Laxus smirked at Bixlow who grinned back knowingly; the poor Sphinx was unaware that the two males were tag teaming her, buttering her up for answers.
Sphinx wetted her lips slowly; she felt the warm hand draw circles on her arm and was pretty sure it was Laxus. It seemed innocent enough so she just decided to enjoy it for now. Pleasant euphoria stroked her mind again.
- I've always had them, I just hide them. She hummed again now even leaning on Laxus lightly.
Mira looked at the hazed mage, a part of her wanted to scowled and slap the men away from her but she couldn't help but feel curious to hear more about the black hared beauty. She knew exactly what Laxus and Bixlow did; they were using her weakness to get a little information out of her.
From everything that went down a few nights ago Mira couldn't blame the men to have taken interest in Sphinx. She was actually pretty sure that most of the guild was beyond curious of her at the moment. So she let the men coax her to open up a bit more, for now.
- So your half cat? Bixlow asked calmly still stimulating the vivid tail that would sometimes almost wrap around his wrist.
- No, that would be weird; she let out a lazy laugh. She turned those striking blue eyes at him again.
-I think it's because of my magic, it pretty primal and raw,
- And what about the horns then? The blast? Laxus continued.
- That just when the demons suffices, I needed the distraction, you weren't letting go, her head turned slowly towards Laxus.
The blue eyes shocked him; she might be relaxed and dazed but the blue eyes still held fire in them.
-You're not a take-over mage? I would know, Mira asked now confused.
-No, I'm not. I'm something different even if it may look similar,
Sphinx put her hand on the counter before stretching them straight forward and flexing her fingers, just like a cat would do.
- So what are you? Bixlow asked
and just like that her momentarily opening had ended.
Her ears perked up slowly and she turned to look at Bixlow, her eyes awake and swirling again mysteriously.
The blue so intense he had stilled his hands from their previous activity. Smoothly her back straitened and the confident mage was back.
Turning her upper body toward the Seith mage she somehow managed to simultaneously slip the heavy arm off her shoulders.
Something soft touched Bixlow's jaw making him jump a little. He hadn't noticed the tail come up, he had been too occupied with her eyes.
- I'm a devil slayer, her voice again taking that low seductive tone.
-W-what's a Devil Slayer, Gray stuttered as the blue eyes turned to his
-Maybe, just maybe, if you're lucky I'll tell you, Sphinx grinned at the stunned man.
-Alright the nights turning into morning soon, I should be gone, the mage stated before slipping away from the counter taking her mask with her and headed for the door.
Lucy watched the woman go, curiosity and amusement filled her mind, she knew that in the next moment she, Gray and Levi would go up to the library and search all they can about Devil slayers. After all it was not even mid-night yet.
