Bribe
Levy did not like where this is heading. She watches in stunned silence, as his 'cat ate canary' smirk turns wolfish. Only he can manage to look at her like that and not fear her violent retaliation since she cannot bring herself to hurt him too bad. He is too valuable to their guild.
"What did you just say?" she asked through gritted teeth, feeling the control of the situation slipping through her fingers like sand.
"I have been promoting your guild in my articles, but have received no compensation for my services. I would like to cash in my much just payment, if you will."
The way he purred the word 'payment' made her shiver, but Levy resisted the pull it gave her. No way was this going the way he wanted it!
"What do you want?"
"You. In my bed for every article that mentions your guild," Gajeel replied bluntly, leaning over her with an intense red gaze.
"And if I say no?"
"Your clientele will dwindle with a few placed reports from me and several other journalists out there. Its only fair, I think."
Yeah, he just wanted to sleep with her ever since she walked out on him three months ago. Could he really blame her? It was a week of hot sex that they both needed, but was not going to last. It seems he wanted some more, just as she did.
"Is that all you want?" she said, eyeing him warily as if he was about to pounce right then and there. If he did, she would slap him since they were in public by standing right in front of the guild's entrance.
"If I happen to mention you, I get a date too."
Levy bit her lip, dragging his hungry graze to them and she shifted away slightly. No matter how it looked, she was pinned.
"Fine."
He reached for her jaw and gently turned her back to face him. His touch felt so familiar and she realized she had missed it.
"Trust me, darling. You won't regret me."
Damn, he knew how to sweet talk a woman. Him and his stupid advantage of being a writer and the memories of them being together. Just then, she realized she had an advantage.
Turning towards his hand caressing her cheek, she nipped at one of the fingers and smirked. "Just so you know, if you don't publish top notch praise for Fairy Tail, I might just release some of those steamy stories you wrote."
He stiffened and the hand against her face twitched. Her smirk widened enough to mirror his from earlier.
"You!" he stuttered in shock.
"Me. Since those stories were inspired from us, I would hate to see your hard earned reputation get smeared by smut."
They glared at each other and then Gajeel reached for the end of her lacy, light blue shirt and tugged her against him.
"You may have found out about those stories but know I am going to win this. Don't think I am going to back down."
Winking, she walked past him. "I would only want you to stay up in the game. Otherwise there would be no fun, right?"
He grinned as she sauntered off. Oh it is on!
Bribe or blackmail. Either one really. I guess this one was a blend. Got several ideas, including a Bleach crossover I have been mulling over. Hope you liked!
