Woop woop! Back again, two request pieces in one week, I must be mad!

This piece was requested by the lovely CatMerchant on AO3, I really hope you like it and would love to hear your feedback.

Finally a Gray request, that boy is hot as hell and definitely deserves all the love. This was a little more lemony than I had first intended, and I would be totally willing to write a pure Gray fluff piece if it was wanted. Let me know!

Remember, my request are open! Let me write your kinks ;)

"You know how she feels about you, its not like she hides it.

She deserves a straight answer…"

The darkness of the night draws ever closer, the gentle summer breeze plays through the hushed streets of Crocus. A tall lonesome figure walks with carefully measured steps; Gray Fullbuster just can't shake those words from his head, its about the only thing he seems to be able to focus on.

With the Grand Magic Games finally over, and the threat of the Eclipse Gate now eliminated, he has nothing but time in which to think. He really dislikes poking at his feelings this deeply, it makes him irritable and definitely no fun to be around.

Gray had no idea where he was walking to, his feet simply kept on moving forward, and he let them carry him into the shady unknown parts of the city. He wasn't worried, he could more than take care of himself if anyone was foolish enough to take him on. In fact, as he thought on it more, a fight might be the perfect way to work on his pent-up emotions.

He thought back to the look Juvia had given him mere hours ago, brimming with unconditional love, her sparkling midnight blue eyes full of warmth only for him.

It made him uneasy, but why?

Of course, his own self-doubts and insecurity had made him snap at her, then instantly regretted it when he saw the glistening tears pooling in her eyes as she fled, again.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Gray knew that Juvia didn't have a bad bone in her body, she wore her heart on her sleeve for all to see and he admired that bravery, he truly did. So why couldn't he return her affections?

He was a man for heavens sake, the girl was drop dead gorgeous! No matter what new style she tried with her hair or clothing, Juvia was always smoking hot, and the reaction of his body was testament to that fact.

Even now, thinking of her curvaceous body and he could feel himself getting hard. Gray shifted his ever tightening pants, trying to ease his suffering, but the more he moved the material around, the more aroused he became. He let out a low grunt of annoyance, his brow furrowed as his anger threatened to spill over.

Yet it wasn't simply about her looks or her body, Juvia was one of the best people he knew. She was kind, compassionate and amazingly loyal to her friends. He enjoyed her company more than he ever let on, and secretly hated when they were not on missions together.

Gray was so distracted by his increasingly wayward thoughts that he walked right into someone standing in his way, he tried valiantly to throw his hands out to catch them, but it was too late.

The very girl he had been fantasising over lay at his feet, her rear sticking high in the air as her hands had shot out to safe her pretty face from meeting the hard flagstone road. "Fuck, Juvia! I'm sorry, I didn't see you there," he hastily apologised, his hand reaching out to lift her from the ground.

Juvia didn't take it, she let it hang there limply as she twisted around on her knees to look up at the man she adored above all others. Her eyes were so very dark, the sparkle having dulled to a matte blue and she had obviously been crying from the pink puffy skin underneath.

Gray sucked in a breath at the sight, he did not want to be the source of her pain, but once again, he was.

The blue haired girl sat back on her thighs in apparent defeat, her navy dress coat pooled around her lower body making her look like a sad puddle. The white fluffy collar hung off the garment on one side, as if she had been trying to rip it from her delicate throat.

He could only stare at her, his heart pounding with a mixture of guilt, confusion, and utter desire. The desire only made his guilt intensify, what kind of monster was he to want her when she was clearly hurting so badly?

"You don't even see me when I am standing right in front of you…" the whisper of her words had Gray crashing back to reality. It wasn't a question, but a powerful statement that had him nearly reeling back at the implication. Juvia pushed to her feet, dusting down her dress before turning to leave.

He couldn't allow that, not this time.

Gray's hand shot out and tightened around her wrist, he gave one powerful tug, and she flew towards him. Her free hand steadied herself on his broad chest, he felt the tips of her fingers sink into his crisp black shirt for a second before she pulled away as if she had been burned.

She stared at his throat, refusing to lift her head to meet his gaze, and he wanted to shake her. "Juvia," he murmured, his free hand lightly gripping her chin and forcing her head up as he continued to hold her captured wrist for fear she would run.

Her jaw was set in a stubborn line as he tried to make her look at him, her eyes drifted off to the side, and his restraint was starting to slip, "look at me," he demanded. He knew he was speaking more harshly than he should be given the situation, but he was done with screwing around.

Juvia gasped at his commanding tone, her eyes flying to his at last, and he couldn't help the slight tilt of his lips into a smug smile as she submitted to him. Her cheeks were flushed and oh so lovely to look upon, Gray wondered if that would be how she would look when he took her. Head thrown back, her skin radiant in pink hues, fingers twisting in the bedsheets as he made her his again and again.

When not if…It was the very first time he had thought that, how interesting.

He finally dropped her captured wrist, his hand stroking her soft cheek as his gaze softened upon the fascinating girl before him. "I'm sorry Juvia, I truly am," he admitted, he meant for crashing into her, but also for his harsh words earlier and every other mean thing he had said to her in the past.

"Oh Gray," she whimpered, her eyes filling fast with more tears, causing him to panic for a moment. She inched closer to him and let her forehead rest on the crook of his neck, Gray could feel warm tears sliding down his skin and making his shirt damp, but he didn't care. He placed one arm gently around her waist and simply held her as she cried. This was his fault; it was the least he could do.

As the two stood there, the only noise was that of Juvia's quiet sobs, Gray let himself inhale her addictingly unique scent.

Citrus groves with the faintest hint of salt.

This was surely the moment, the perfect time to tell her how he felt, but the words were stuck fast in his throat.

There was still this annoying little voice in the back of his mind, questioning if he did have feelings for her, or if it was simply a lust over her gorgeous body and good looks. Gray would be damned before he used her in such a way, to lead her on like that would be disgustingly cruel.

The minutes ticked by, Juvia's sobs ended and the time for confessions was over. "Let me walk you back to your room," he whispered quietly, all the while he was a raging storm inside at his total ineptitude. Juvia nodded as she tried to leave his embrace, her hand absently wiping at the wet patch she had left on his shirt.

Gray entwined his fingers with hers, she could only stare at their joined hands as he led them back to the inn, they were staying in. His thumb brushed the back of her delicate knuckles in tender sweeping movements, and he could practically hear her heart rate spiking from the action.

As they stopped in front of Juvia's door, he lifted their entwined fingers and kissed the knuckles he had been stroking so delicately. His lips were feather soft on her skin, and he adored the way it made her pupils dilate. "Let's talk soon, yeah?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

Juvia could only nod her agreement, her hand fumbling behind her for the door handle, "goodnight Gray, sleep well," she purred, slipping inside quickly, and leaving Gray standing there like a frozen idiot.

His mood soured the second she was out of sight; he was terribly angry with himself. Instead of heading for bed, which would have been the sensible choice, he stormed off to the bar below, searching for the Salamander. He needed a good fight, and he needed it right now.

~.~

Juvia slid down the closed door, listening frantically, Gray was still stood outside and she could almost feel his anger radiating through the heavy wooden door. As he finally stomped away, she let out of a long sigh of relief. She had never wished for Gray to leave her alone, but right now, she needed the distance.

Her poor heart was breaking, Juvia didn't know if she could take anymore, Gray's constant harsh words were becoming unbearable. Yet…

One last small piece of her burned bright, her certainty that her feelings were indeed returned, and not one sided. She held on to that tiny shard of hope tightly, Juvia desperately wanted to believe that Gray would one day return her feelings.

As she undressed for bed, she reminisced on the way Gray's hand had felt holding hers, the gentle touch of his thumb stroking her and his warming embrace. She utterly adored his intense scent, it was hard to describe but if pushed she would say it was exactly like the air after an intense thunderstorm, edged with a hint of cedarwood.

Juvia didn't have any more time to muse on her feelings as the door to the room was thrown open, Lucy and Levy practically sprinted inside before slamming the door behind them. The pair were gasping for breath as they flopped backwards on the nearest bed.

"One of them is gonna end up dead this time," Lucy angrily spat, sitting up on her elbows as she finally acknowledged Juvia's presence. Her chocolate brown eyes softened as she gazed at Juvia climbing atop her own bed, hugging her knees tightly to her chest.

"What's wrong?" Juvia asked, biting her lip in concern.

Levy sat up, crossing her legs under her small frame. "Oh, only a three-way brawl of the biggest idiots in this damn guild!" she puffed out, Levy was not amused in the slightest.

"And I'm guessing you are the cause," Lucy whispered as she continued to stare at Juvia.

She was alarmed, why on earth would she be the reason for a fight breaking out? "W-why would it be m-my fault?" she stammered, her pulse spiking rapidly.

"I didn't say it was your fault, I know perfectly well whose fault it is, and part me hopes he gets a good kick in the pants!" Lucy continued, moving to sit at the foot of Juvia's bed.

"Gray was mean to you again, wasn't he? That was why you left here in tears earlier?" she asked as Levy joined the girls on her bed.

Juvia looked away from their inquisitive stares, her cheeks were burning from the memory. She hadn't realised anyone had seen her flee the inn. She gave one quick nod and the pair of them sucked in an angry breath.

"Well, that explains why Gray just exploded into the bar and picked a fight with both Natsu and Gajeel. That boy is a total moron," Levy hissed, "and I was finally having a nice normal conversation with him too," she whined, throwing herself forward dramatically.

Lucy giggled at the petite blunette who was now thrashing like a toddler on the bed. Juvia felt her eyes roll before she could stop herself, Levy's obvious attraction to Gajeel was simply adorable.

"Spill it, all of it Juvia or I swear -" Lucy demanded, her finger shaking wildly at the water wielder. Juvia knew better than to argue with these two, she let out a deep sigh and told them of what had happened…

An hour later, Juvia was feeling much better having shared her troubles. The sudden sound of crashing opposite had Levy peeking into the hallway and reporting back that no one had in fact been killed, the three idiot men were now safely in their shared room licking their wounds.

Juvia chuckled at Levy's quick wit and turn of phrase, she was so very funny.

"Yes, I've got a plan!" Lucy yelled as the three of them finally tucked themselves in for the night, "Juvia, be downstairs at 11am tomorrow and I'll explain everything."

Before Juvia could even respond, the lights went out and they were plunged into a welcoming darkness.

Her last thoughts before sleep overcame her was of Gray holding her tightly, and the small smile that had danced on his lips.

~.~

Juvia didn't know what to expect, but it certainly wasn't this.

The bar must have held every female member of Fairy Tail, and one very uncomfortable and disgruntled pink haired male. As she walked towards the large table they sat around, Natsu's voice floated towards her, "and why do I have to be here again? This is girly stuff Luce!" he whined defeatedly.

"I've already told you, idiot, you are here so you can relay the plan to the boys!" Lucy yelled, thumping Natsu on the head without restraint. Lucy was clearly in no mood to be trifled with, Natsu rubbed his aching skull and slunk low in his chair.

Lucy's plan was indeed devious, as the blonde spoke to the hushed group, it was clear to see that she had put a lot of thought into this course of action. Juvia's heart hurt from all the times she had viewed her as a potential love rival for Gray's affections, how could that be true if she was willing to go to these lengths for her?

Juvia sat in stunned silence as the plan was unveiled piece by piece, her eyes roamed the large group, and she could feel tears welling. There was almost a tangible sense of love and camaraderie, she had never experienced this kind of acceptance before, and it was a little overwhelming.

Levy, who sat beside her, noted Juvia's emotion and placed a gentle arm around her shoulders and leant into her side, offering warmth and unconditional friendship; she had been lucky to be accepted by these beautiful people, she loved every one of them.

Natsu finally perked up as he realised how much torment they were sure to inflict on the poor unsuspecting Gray Fullbuster, he was bouncing giddily in his chair by the end, and more than happy to carry out his side of the mission.

"Operation: Gray finally gets his shit together!" he yelled excitedly, jumping to his feet, and pumping his fist into the air to a torrent of laughter from the girls.

Erza piped up from the corner, "not quite how I would have put it Natsu, but I guess that is the gist of things," she smiled, raising her fork absolutely laden with strawberry cake as a salute to the Salamander.

Poor Juvia was struggling to find her voice, whilst she did think it was a good plan, she felt uncomfortable at what they were going to put Gray through. Was it really a good idea to force his hand?

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" she managed to squeak out at last, all heads turned to her as one, and she shrunk back into her chair.

Lucy let out an exasperated sigh, "who here believes that Gray has feelings for Juvia and is too much of a pig-headed idiot to admit it?" she asked loudly, her eyes shining with determination.

Every hand shot into the air, including Natsu's, "I might be a bit dense when it comes to things like that," Juvia watched as his gaze quickly drifted towards Lucy and back again, a faint pink tinting his cheeks, "but even I know that he likes you."

Juvia could only nod, the tiny shard of hope that she was desperately clutching began to grow and fill her with such longing. As she looked around at her friends, a nervous excitement filled her stomach for what lay ahead.

Everything was going according to plan; Lucy was beside herself with anticipation. She controlled every part like a full-scale military operation and Juvia was a little intimidated of how forceful she was becoming.

It was the night of the Grand Ball, the event was held to celebrate the winning team of the Grand Magic Games. Juvia had already selected an outfit for the occasion, a mass of navy skirts and frills, but one look from Lucy was enough to let her know that it was not sufficient.

Juvia stood before the exquisitely gilded floor length mirror, Fairy Tail had been given lavish quarters in the royal palace for the evening and although she missed sharing a room with Lucy and Levy, she was glad of the peace.

Surely, she was not looking upon her own reflection.

The girl in the mirror looked confident, not something she felt currently, and above all else she looked simply ravishing. The girls had gone above and beyond to pamper the water wielder, every inch of skin had been buffed till it shone in the moonlight. Her blue hair swept over her bare shoulders, cascading waves rippling down her pale skin and just a hint of make-up applied to highlight and accentuate her big blue eyes and plush pink lips.

The dress that was selected after three whole hours of Juvia feeling like a child's doll, they must have made her try on at least 100 dresses, was not something she would have ever chosen for herself. It was a pale silvery grey slip of a dress; the satin material caused the colour to swirl as she moved, and it hugged her delicate curves as if it had been made especially for Juvia. The dress kissed the floor, but an alluring slit parted it from floor to just above her knee.

She felt sexy in this outfit, and she hoped that Gray approved. On that final thought, Lucy's head popped around the door, "it's time, lets go make Gray lose his shit!" she chuckled darkly.

~.~

Gray was more than a little annoyed, he had spent most of the day attempting to locate the currently absent Juvia. Yet every time he tried to go looking for her, he was caught up in some crazy nonsense.

Lyon Vastia had burst into the inn as Gray sat quietly eating his breakfast, his brooding mood leaving him without any company at the table. The Ice Mage wanted to spend the morning training with him, that he was willing to indulge in, an excuse to work out some more of his frustrations. He was also more than a little happy to discover that Lyon was not going to be attending the ball this evening, favouring to journey back to Lamia Scale early than spend the night revelling. Gray knew deep down that his delight in Lyon's absence was mainly down to not having to watch the man throw himself at Juvia's feet, that display was getting irksome.

With friendly waves of departure, Gray had slunk back to his room to shower and change after the highly intense training session, the pair had really gone full force at each other. He was ready to go seek out his missing blue haired admirer, his hand raised to knock on her door when Freed, Bixlow and Laxus barrelled round the corner and swept him out the door, much to Gray's heated and very blue protests.

He found himself in a shop getting fitted for a lavish looking suit, "and why can't I just wear what I brought with me again?" he asked the three males, who were also in the process of getting fitted for their own outfits.

Freed's head craned towards him, a soft whisper floating across the room, "oh my, surely you have someone you would like to impress this evening, yes?" Gray turned away, he could feel a heat rushing up his neck as his skin reddened. He said no more, simply stood and followed the instructions of the seamstress as she worked. The only input that he gave was that he wanted to be in midnight blue, the colour of Juvia's eyes…

After that was finally done and paid for, it was time to head to the rooms they had been given in the palace. Gray was already feeling irritable, and the thought of spending hours in a restricting suit, having to socialise and pretend that he wasn't breaking apart on the inside was driving him crazy. He was contemplating not even going down, choosing to stay in his room and sulk when an angry hammering started on his door.

He was ready to rip the head off whoever was out there, but as he swung the door open violently, he wasn't given the chance. Two strong hands pulled him by the lapels and rushed him down the corridor, Gray nearly fell over his own feet as he was sped along. "Natsu, I am going to kill you! What the hell man?" he gritted out as the Salamander finally released him, the pink idiot laughing merrily at Gray's enraged expression.

"Don't be a party pooper Ice Princess, its time for the festivities!" Natsu exclaimed. It was very different seeing him in formal clothing, his outfit looked almost regal and Gray felt a tinge of self-doubt creeping into his mind as he looked down at his own attire.

A scowling Gray allowed himself to be directed into the ballroom, it was already filled with many of his friends from Fairy Tail and the other competing Guilds. His eyes did a quick scan of the room, looking for a certain blue haired girl, but she didn't seem to be here.

Something was definitely up, Gray noted the slightly awkward glances that were going on around him. People kept coming up and whispering in ears, eyes darting away from him as he stared openly trying to work out what was going on.

As minutes ticked by the dancing started, he groaned and was happy to sidle off to the side with Lucy, Levy and Natsu. He tried to feign interest in their conversation, but his heart wasn't in it. Gray swept the room once more with his intense gaze, and there she was.

Juvia stood at the entrance to the ballroom, her arm through the arm of…Gajeel?! What the fuck? Gray stiffened as he took in her appearance, she was simply stunning. Her sleek gown shimmering in the light, the swirls of silvery grey seemingly hypnotised him as she swayed further into the room. Her smooth pale skin shone under the lights above, and he would swear her unique scent wafted directly to him as he watched the gentle rise and fall of her chest.

Gray didn't even notice the cunning smiles that his companions had plastered on their faces, watching him react to Juvia's well timed entrance. His body was thrumming to life, he was itching to go to her, to stride right across the floor and sweep her out the door, but he restrained himself. His knuckles were white as he clenched them by his sides.

She didn't even look at him, Juvia always looked for him, why not now?

The blue siren spoke excitedly with a small group of people, her giggles were soft and stirred things in his body. His feet moved of their own accord, he edged around the room and continued to watch her intently from an empty space by the balcony doors.

Jealousy was spiking his blood like an evil poison, Gajeel stood beside her in his dashing all black tux and even offered to dance with her. He bit the inside of his cheek and tasted the blood on his tongue as his eyes followed their every movement. As Gajeel's hand landed lightly on the side of her waist, he almost lost it, he watched as the pair swept around the floor and he hated how good they looked together.

The slit of Juvia's dress caught his attention, it moved as she was whirled around, exposing her bare leg to his hungry gaze. He desperately wanted those legs wrapped tightly around his waist, or thrown over his shoulders, on that he was not fussy as long as they were around him.

Their dance was interrupted by an approaching Levy, she tapped Juvia on the shoulder and Gajeel slipped his hands easily around the petite girl's body. The pair blushed like teenagers as they started their own dance. Gray took one step before halting again, Juvia had been swept into another set of arms. This time Laxus had his massive mitts on his girl, and he seethed in his ever-growing jealous rage.

Gray had no idea how much time had passed, all he knew was that every god damn male seemed to want to dance or spend time with Juvia, and he abhorred it. He would never have guessed that so many of his friends would be willing to dance this formally or for this long, but it seemed everyone wanted to spend time on the dancefloor.

Of course, Gray didn't know that every member of Fairy Tail, plus a few close friends from other guilds were under strict instructions this evening. They were to dance, socialise and rile Gray to the point of breaking, if they failed, the threat of Erza and Lucy's wrath hung over them heavily.

As Natsu spun Juvia around with far more vigour than anyone else, she giggled loudly as the Salamander tossed her around like she was a ragdoll, that flame brain had no idea how to dance with someone like Juvia. He had had enough, two more confident steps were taken forward, his sights set on the beautiful girl that was stealing more and more of his heart as the night slipped on, then it happened.

Lyon fucking Vastia stepped out of the sea of faces, approaching the couple, and giving Natsu a firm but friendly tap on the shoulder, the Salamander winked at Lyon as the silver haired male bowed deeply to the blushing Juvia. Gray's temper spiked like an erupting volcano, his heart thundered in his chest as he felt ice tickling his palms.

A chaste kiss on Juvia's hand, his arm sliding around her back, fingers digging into the soft material of her dress. Enough was enough.

Gray could not stop himself, he marched with determination to the pair as they prepared to dance again. His hand ripped away Lyon's hand that was firmly on Juvia's lower back, he pressed himself between the pair as he faced his fellow Ice Mage with utter rage contorting his features.

Lyon merely smiled, a coy tilt of his lips as he slowly inclined his head and slid out of sight. Gray whirled on Juvia, the girl stood there frozen in place by his intensity, he could hear her heart thumping wildly, her chest heaving with her breath she took.

He gripped her wrist and hurriedly pulled her from the room, every set of eyes were upon them and in that moment, Gray was glad of it.

Juvia was his, and his alone.

~.~

Gray was mad, and Juvia did not know how to feel about it. Perhaps the plan had worked too well? She let herself be pulled along, Gray opened a door and dragged her inside, slamming the door shut as the pair were encased in almost complete darkness.

Juvia's back hit the closed door with force, a pair of cool lips pressed against her neck as Gray covered her body with his own. A deep gasp flew from her mouth as his lips trailed kisses up the side of her neck, his tongue swirling over her throbbing pulse point. She could die a happy woman now.

His mouth sought out her ear, his warm breath fanning her skin and seemingly setting her alight. "Do you see what you have done to me?" he whispered huskily, teeth biting down on her flesh as she trembled in his embrace. Gray made sure that Juvia could feel his hard length pressed against her stomach, his hands caged her head whilst his body kept her pinned in place.

Gray pressed his knee between her thighs to open them, the material of her dress riding up her legs to accommodate the movement. Juvia finally found her voice, "I didn't do anything Gray," she answered timidly.

He groaned hearing her say his name, he wanted to rip the damn dress from her right now, but he still had a small amount of patience left, but it was dwindling by the second. His fingers gripped her chin, lifting her head like he had done last night. Juvia stared into his eyes immediately, they flickered with such desire and longing, "every male in that room wanted to fuck you senseless and you don't even realise," he scoffed, holding her gaze.

Juvia tried to respond, but he cut her off quickly, "but that won't be happening, and do you know why?" he asked, his head cocking to the side as his hips ground against her unabashedly. Her panting was getting heavier, the feel of his body against hers was overpowering every other thought in her head.

"W-why is that?" Juvia whispered, her hands laid lightly on his side. She was afraid if she responded too much, he would pull away from her, leaving her a needy mess on the floor.

Gray's smile was twisted, "because you are mine," he stated clear as day, his eyes flashing with certainty. His mouth descended on Juvia's instantly and her lips parted on the gasp that tried to escape her at those words, Gray greedily swallowed the noise. Juvia felt euphoric, he wanted her, and she was more than happy to return the kiss.

Their lips met in heated passion, Gray tugged her closer to him, his hand snaking around her neck as he sought to remove any gap from their bodies. His tongue pressed into her welcoming mouth, sweeping inside, and dominating her completely, Juvia wilted into submission as her own hands grew bold and clutched desperately at his strong back.

He broke the kiss, placing swift his lips on her cheek and heading towards her throat, he spoke between licks and nips, "I have more I want to say, but it'll have to wait. I can't hold back any longer Juvia," and she melted at his words. If Gray weren't pinning her in place so would simply be a puddle of pleasure on the floor.

Gray roughly grabbed at the material of her dress at her thighs, inching it higher and higher until he could feel her naked flesh under his calloused fingers, he sighed in satisfaction against her throat. Juvia twisted her fingers into his raven hair, tugging and enjoying the sounds he made in response, heat was pooling indecently between her legs.

In one fluid movement, Gray lifted her thighs, allowing her to settle her delicious body around his waist. As Juvia sought out every inch of his neck and throat, he held her tightly with one hand as the other lifted to the zipper on the back of her beautiful dress. "As much as I want to rip this damn thing from your body, I'd much rather have you wear it for me again," he growled heatedly as Juvia teased his skin with her hot mouth.

The noise of the zipper sliding down her back was so erotic, the pair shuddered from the sound alone. As the garment pooled down around her stomach, Gray admired the grey strapless lace bra that housed her perfectly round breasts and his mouth watered for a taste.

Gray sat upon the bed within the dark room, Juvia squealed from the sudden movement and dug her nails into his shoulders making him wince from the slight pain. He made her stand for him, the dress fluttering down her body until it was a silver puddle on the floor. Bringing her closer between his thighs, the Ice Mage worshipped her body with his mouth, his hands splaying over her ass to pull her even closer.

Juvia's confidence grew as she watched the utter desire flit across her lover's handsome face, she stood before him in only her bra, panties, and heels. With a boldness she didn't know she possessed, she gave him a harsh shove, pushing him back on the mattress as she climbed atop his legs. Her fingers worked nimbly on the buttons of his shirt, pushing it and his jacket off his arms when it was fully undone.

She gazed down with pure admiration, her fingers tracing over every line of his muscles, every faded battle scar and she purred her delight. Gray lay stunned, swept up into Juvia's act of dominance, he had expected to take charge on this first occasion, but maybe not…

Her head dipped to his skin, delighting in each little noise of pleasure that she ripped from the male who had held himself back from her for so long. He let out a loud groan as she lightly bit down on his nipple, and she smiled in satisfaction. Juvia's fingers were itching to move to his pants, after what seemed like an eternity of teasing, she finally did.

Sitting back, she dexterously unbuckled his belt before opening his zip and pulling the waist of his pants and boxers down to release his encased cock. Gray hissed in a deep breath as the cool air of the room kissed his throbbing shaft.

Juvia was revelling in this power she held over him, with a soft touch she wrapped her fingers around the thick base of his cock, her other hand trailing over the swell of her breasts, "look at what you could have been having," she purred, delighting in Gray's eyes widening on her actions, not knowing where to look.

He nodded enthusiastically, "I was an idiot," he whimpered, his hands lifting to hold her hips which she was grinding on his thighs. Juvia pumped her hand up and down his erection with wild abandon, Gray's hips shot upwards on the bed, his grip tightening almost painfully on Juvia's flesh.

The blue haired beauty was enjoying this too much to give up the control just yet, she shimmied out of his tight hold and lowered her body between his open thighs. Gray's half lidded eyes watched her in fascination as she placed the gentlest kitten lick on the tip of his cock, he was going to explode if she didn't take him into her mouth soon.

Her plush lips parted, pink tongue swiping out to lick at them before she sunk her mouth on to him. She was so very wet and needy as she tasted him, the slight tang of salt coated his velvet smooth skin, and she bobbed her head up and down hungrily.

Gray's fingers twisted deeply into her hair, he was careful not to startle her by pushing her down, not this time, he would be a gentleman. Juvia hollowed her cheeks as she sucked him hungrily, every grunt he made sent pulses of pleasure straight to her own slick centre. She could feel the tip of him hitting her throat, she used her hand to stroke the extra length that she could not quite swallow.

He knew she would take it all, maybe not this time, but he would make sure that his entire length would fuck her mouth and throat eventually. He had to stop her, there was no way he was coming in her perfect little mouth, he needed her body far too desperately to allow it.

"Juvia, stop!" he demanded, her eyes locked with his own and for the briefest moment he thought she would defy him, and a small part of him was so unbelievably turned on by that prospect. With an audible pop she released him from her mouth, wiping at the drool that had escaped her lips.

Gray beckoned her with the crook of his finger, and she instinctively crawled up his toned body to tangle her lips with his. His skilled fingers pinched at her bra clasp, releasing it, and throwing the garment into an unknown corner. He flipped them so that he lay between Juvia's thigh, his length coated in her saliva teasing her lace panties.

Whilst his fingers sought to slip under the barrier of her panties, his mouth lowered to suckle her already hardened nipple. Juvia squirmed from the pleasure in two different locations, her thighs tried to press together and Gray chuckled against her skin.

"You are so very wet, baby. Is this all for me?" he asked, his finger getting closer and closer to slipping into her needy entrance. Juvia bucked her hips in response, trying to coax him in further, but he would not be persuaded. His thumb pressed down tightly on her clit and Juvia would swear she saw stars twinkling before her.

"I need you right now, I'll devour you properly later," he growled before his teeth sunk into her neck, creating a deep bruise as he continued to suck on the spot until he was satisfied. Gray sat back on his thighs whilst he gently pulled Juvia's panties down her legs and kicked fully out of his own remaining clothes.

His slick length teased her glistening folds, with one smooth swing of his hips, Gray entered his beloved and the moans of shared pleasure filled the room. Juvia felt only a slight burn from his size, it was quickly overridden by the intense knot that was growing in her stomach.

He was trying to be gentle with her, she knew it from the way he bit down on his lip as he eased into her body with a steady rhythm. Juvia wanted all of him, not for him to hold back. The fingers of her left hand twisted deeply into his soft hair, tugging as the fingers of her right hand snaked down his back and pressed her nails into his high ass. "Gray, fuck me harder. Make me -," she was cut off as Gray changed their position abruptly. He threw one of her legs on his shoulder, the other pinned to her chest as he reared over her.

Gray's pace was fast and rough, a release ripped through Juvia from the very sudden change in angle and tempo. She could barely comprehend his words as her world spiralled off its axis. "You are mine, and you don't ever forget it baby!" he roared, his own release was trying to chase hers as she clamped tightly around his cock.

Gritting his teeth, he used every ounce of will in his body to hold off his orgasm, he was determined to give Juvia one more before he joined her. As she came down from her high, he flipped them once more, lifting her ass high into the air as she shakily rested forward on her elbows. With one slam he entered her again, his fingers sinking into her shoulders before he lifted her against him. Juvia's back was pressed tightly to Gray's front as he fucked her without mercy.

His breathing was ragged, thrusts getting sloppy as he teetered on the edge of his release. His hands moved to bring on another orgasm, fingers pinching harshly at her nipples whilst the other circled on her aching clit with deadly precision.

Juvia's writhed in his tight hold, her walls tightening on his length, pulling him into his own release. He shuddered as he ropes of his thick come painted her insides, mixing with her own juices in a cocktail of pleasure.

The pair collapsed to the bed, utterly spent, and sweating in the dim light of the room. Gray was careful not crush her with his weight, but he simply did not want to leave her body quite yet. Looking upon Juvia, her eyes had fluttered closed, and Gray couldn't help the possessive and very smug smile that graced his lips.

Mine…

Gray had been gentle with wrapping his shirt around the naked body of Juvia, who was still passed out from her bliss. He buttoned it up carefully, then dressed himself in his pants and went looking for that dress. He delicately folded it atop Juvia and picked her up from the bed, he strode confidently from the room and walked to his own room on the higher floor. They met no one on the quick journey, Gray had no idea of the time they had spent in that room, or if the ball was still in full swing, and he didn't much care.

After stripping himself of his pants, he climbed into bed and pulled Juvia tightly into his side. It was easy to fall into welcoming sleep as he inhaled her scent and traced idle patterns over her thighs, Juvia groaned in her sleep and the two slept peacefully in their shared embrace.

Juvia awoke feeling very flustered, and completely unsure of the reason. It wasn't until her hazy brain cleared a bit and she looked down her body that she realised why. Gray lay in between her parted thighs, his tongue deep in her core. The man looked like he was dining out on Juvia for breakfast, and he was clearly a starved man at that.

"Gray," she whimpered, her voice still laced with sleep. His eyes lifted to her face, but he never ceased his movements, tongue flickering over her tight clit before suckling the bud into his mouth with greed. Juvia's hips rotated on the bed, but Gray splayed one hand across her stomach to hold her in place. She would come alone from the heated look she was receiving from her Ice Mage, and she didn't have to wait long as the tidal wave of her release crashed through her body. Gray lapped every last drop up before sitting back with a self-satisfied smirk on his face.

"Better get used to it babe, I plan on having you for breakfast every day," he chuckled wickedly. She wanted to jump for joy, he wasn't running from her any longer, and then his final words hit her like a bolt of lightning, "I love you Juvia."

Finally!
