*CrasH*

The lighting demolished the tree into millions of tiny woodchips that sailed the air, it wasn't the first tree that had suffered from the lighting slayers magic, and surely it won't be the last. Sighing for the hundredth time that evening Laxus turned towards the rock for a drink of water. It was already getting very late but he still felt tense and annoyed. His magic crackled and snapped around him almost giving him a godly glow. Sitting down he looked at dark forest. Why does everything has to be so damn complicated?

A low frustrate growl escaped his chest but it only made him sigh again.

Her growl, now that's something I could listen to all night

How could just such a primitive and sexy noise make every cell in his body tune in on her?

There weren't actual words to it but somehow he could interpret every single noise she made and even answer her. It was weird yet perfectly natural for them.

Again, why the hell does every thought end up with her,

The blond slayer closed his eyes to push away every thought about the black hared woman. Putting down his water bottle, Laxus activated his magic, which didn't come as strong anymore. In fact he knew that he shouldn't be training anymore. He knew that soon his body would give out. All this was not to get stronger or better, no, he was exhausting himself.

Laxus wanted to feel that familiar shaking, burning of muscles and possibly even his legs giving out, why? Because he was afraid that if there was an ounce of power or energy in him, he wouldn't be able to control the beast inside. He would go after her and he would find her, again. His plan to wait for all this to pass or to her pay attention to him had failed, miserably.

And even if it made perfect sense for him to do just that, to find her. Sphinx had made it perfectly clear that she would not be so easily just taken, no she would fight. The last time he did that he received a punch or two, not to mention being chained to a wall,

Yeah, she had not been happy.

He had royally fucked everything with just pushing and pushing his dominance on her, but so had she? She made his all rallied up.

Damn, why couldn't she be just someone else, someone…well just someone less like her?

He was losing his mind over her. But there was hope, he knew that a part of her was interested or at least attracted to him. So there was a chance he could still have her. They acted civil enough when they meet around the guild. He just needed to be smart about it; maybe he should talk to her friend for help.

And for once he really didn't want to do anything to fuck things up. He really had no idea where there 'relationship' stood, were they friends? Or were they just guild 'mates'?

Scoffing at the thought Laxus ran a hand threw his blond hair. He knows what he wanted and that was definitely to be more than friends, no even more than that.

Still how the hell was he supposed to make that clear to her?

No, more like how the hell was he supposed to get her to give him a chance to prove himself?

Sphinx was something else, something he really didn't want to just let walk pass. So he reactivated his magic and let it lose.

-''-

-Hey Sphinx, how is it going with the love triangle? Mirajane smiled brightly, it was obvious she absolutely loved the situation.

The black haired mage cocked one eyebrow and tilted her head in annoyance while crossing her hands over her chest.

- I have no clue what you're talking about Mira, we aren't a thing, and there is no 'love' anywhere close to it, Sphinx said and frowned at her giggling.

-Maybe not yet? But things are starting to pick up, even Evergreen gave her approval, Mirajane fussed making Sphinx sigh.

- You do realize that this probably is your scariest mode? all this love-love and pairing people up? Sphinx shook her head at the smiling bar maid.

-Stop it Sphinx, you would make good looking couples with each one of them, not to mention gorgeous looking b-

-DON'T YOU FINISH THAT SCENTENCE! Sphinx yelled while glaring murderously at the chuckling Mirajane.

- NO! Sphinx is not going to get knocked up in a while, I need my 'wing woman', Cana said while sitting next to her.

- Anyway where is Lucy, I thought we were said at eleven? Sphinx almost snapped at them.

- Where are you going? Mirajane asked curiously.

-We'r go-

*SLAP*

Sphinx almost managed to knock Cana out of her stool from the speed her hand slapped over the card mages mouth. Cana gave out a loud yell but the hand muffled it effectively.

- Shut up, Sphinx hissed before removing her hand dodging the bottle Cana threw at her.

Standing up from the stool she turned towards the open guild hall and closed her eyes.

Energy flashed around the guild in even pulsing; she searches for strong auras around. There were a few but not the once she had been searching for.

Good

-There not here, Mira smiled as Sphinx returned to them.

- I could have told you that,

-Yeah because I've gotten so many warnings and heads-up from you, she snorted,

-Mira give her a drink, she starting to be super bitchy, Cana sighed knowingly

- Tck, shut it drunk; you try to be in my shoes,

Mira put two shot glasses in front of the dark hared mage who ran a hand threw her hair, she did look tense. Pouring the liquid Sphinx happily threw the first one down her throat enjoying the familiar burn of alcohol.

-What happened? Mira carefully making Sphinx feel bad; she had no right to take her aggravation out on the two women.

-Sorry Mira, I'm just feeling a little…

-Horny, Cana finished with a grin.

-Tch, I was going for restless but, Sphinx shook her head.

-Eh, may I ask why?

It was almost funny to see the take-over mage try to be so proper even if Sphinx could see it in her eyes that she wanted to know so much more.

- Well,

-She hasn't gotten any lately, again Cana answered for her, while nodding in her mug.

-Cana will you shut up already, it's not that, look I'm just a little, um,

-Horny, Cana sang annoyingly earing a sigh from the dark hared mage,

- Dam it Cana, I'm just restless because of Gajeel and Laxus, Sphinx admitted drinking the other shot.

The two mages looked from one to another, they rarely heard Sphinx say their names it was usually just dragons' slayers or dragons, Cana tilted her head, it was kind of weird to see Sphinx look so bothered.

- So you like one of them? Mira asked with that same careful voice while pouring another shot for the tormented female.

-Like? She gave out a sarcastic chuckle before drowning her third shot,

- I want to fuck their brains out! Sphinx said in matter of fact voice while Cana laughed and Mira turned red,

- I want to have them all beneath me as I teas them until they snap and the dragon side in comes out. Then I want to be ravished by the dragons. Sphinx exclaimed clearly while looking sadly at the counter.

- Well why aren't you? Cana said like that was the obvious answer.

-It's not so simple, first of they are guild members, and I really don't want to make things awkward,

-second Dragon slayers, even if every cell in my body tells me that both of them could really satisfy me in a whole new level and likely there would be some definitely hardcore banging,

- hmm, lip biting, hair pulling, back scratching, grinding, toes curling, endless waves of pleasure, she all but moaned in frustration,

Just thinking about it had her wanting to go search them out.

-but my mind also tells me that it's a bad idea, like really bad idea,

-How come? The take-over mage said while pouring another drink,

- Well, ugh, it's complicated, I just have this feeling like if I go and let myself get involved in them it's something final, I can't explain it but somehow it almost seems like it 'all out'…

-But you never do anything serious; you don't even play with one guy for more than two times and even that rare, Cana pointed out

-Exactly! Sphinx whined,

- Nothing makes sense when it comes to them; she huffed while drinking the shot quickly,

-You do realized that you refer to Laxus and Gajeel as them, not him or him like individuals, Mira pointed out,

-Of course not, hell if I'm going to start choosing sides, they're both as infuriating, so yes them,

Mirajane couldn't keep the giggles contained anymore. All this was too sweet, the men were crazy about her and poor man-eater here was all confused. It was all very unusual but still the oldest of the Strauss sisters saw potential for a love story.

-Cana, make her stop, she's been doing it all night already, its ruining my buzz, Sphinx huffed at them.

- Cana, Sphinx come over let have race, Gray yelled from the middle of the guild while waving around with a mug,

The two looked at the funny scene as the shirtless mage laughed loudly at something Jet said,

-Well isn't he in a good mood, Cana said smiling at her rowdy guild mate,

-Well Juvia is on a mission with Lisanna, they were specially requested so she had no choice but to go,

Sphinx seemed to perk up at the news; Cana saw how her eyes seemed to focused on Gray all of a sudden.

-Really, interesting, she purred earlier whiling and bitching all gone from that low voice of hers.

She turned her head towards her and Cana had to grin at her happy expression. Sphinx lifted one elegant eyebrow in question,

-Let's go, we can't skip a drinking race now can I, Mira could you give us more shots, Cana all but slammed her hand on the counter,

Sphinx didn't wait but stood up and walked with a familiar swing in her hip to the table. Seen her come Gray automatically grinned even wider and scooted over making a room next to him.

- You came, he said happily,

- The one night that I'm not likely to get a murdered for being close to you? Wouldn't miss it in the world, Sphinx whispered to him and winked before turning towards the others,

There were Jet and Droy, all smiles clearly they had already a few drinks, beside them there were Max and Warren. They looked a little surprised but still smiled merrily at her. Cana soon brought a tray full of shots earing herself a loud cheer.

- Your one to talk, do I need to look out for any jealousy overgrown lizards, Gray joked back.

Sphinx busted into laughter, the Ice mage just called Laxus and Gajeel, the ultimate dragon slayers, lizards like he would talk about Natsu.

-You better not say that in front of them, but no, they're not here, beside they don't own me I can have fun with whoever I like, Sphinx grinned.

- Tell that to Gajeel and Laxus, heck even Bixlow, Gray snorted before taking two shot from the tray and giving her one,

Sphinx accepted the drink and with one glance at each other they downed the alcohol. First it was sweet and ran down their throat easily but suddenly strong burning of alcohol took over and they both slammed the glasses on the table. Gray cringed at the after effect.

-What the hell Cana, are you trying to poison us? What hell is this? Gray exclaimed, but still reached out for another shoot.

- That my friend is the devil kiss, Cana winked while drinking one smoothly without making a face.

Sphinx shook her head as eyes turned to her and she drank another shoot.

-Why is it called the devils kiss? Asked Max who also took another shot and downed it and made a wry face at the taste.

- First smooth and alluring before giving you that bitch slap and burning you from the inside, Cana said while very suggestively looking at Sphinx who only scoffed.

- From that look I assume it's got something to do with you, Gray asked giving her that smirk he so often used, Sphinx only rolled her eyes at him.

- I name it after her, because however hard it may burn you still want more, Cana laughed as the men around the table realize that they all had still drank several shots of the liquor.

- Wow, Jet mumbled already feeling the alcohol rising to his head,

-And just like our sweet little Sphinx here, it will go to your head and make you drunk without you even noticing, Cana continued

Sphinx couldn't help but to laugh at her friend, they had had one crazy night when she came up with that drink.

Good times, good times.

- Oh, Jet where is Levi? Cana asked the orange hared man who swiftly downed a glass of water.

-Um, she had some translation job with Freed, they left this morning, though they should be back soon, there was a underline of worry and maybe even a hint of jealousy.

-Don't worry, Levi can handle herself, Droy comforted his team mate.

- And beside she's got Freed there, his really smart not to mention strong, Cana pointed out but it clearly didn't make him feel any better Sphinx grinned that predatory grin she was so good at.

- He sees Freed as a threat, the female mage pointed out.

Everyone turned to the now slightly embarrassed Jet who crossed his hand over his chest.

- You can't be serious Levi would never cheat, Max pointed out,

-It's not Levi I'm worried about, Jet instantly exclaimed,

- Freed would never do anything, I've been actually wondering if his gay when you consider how obsessed his with Laxus, Max again spoke

- His not gay, Sphinx said in matter of fact voice as all eyes turned to her,

-How do you know? Gray asked beside her.

Sphinx grinned and licked her lips suggestively. The men's eyes when wide and some even blushed.

-No way, nah-aa, not true! You have not banged him, I would know, Cana said as she looked at her friends grin skeptically.

-Have you two really…Droy asked with a red face,

-How come no one knows…

- pff, calm down you pervs, I have my way of knowing, Sphinx said while leaning on the table again.

-Anyway, so why are you worried Jet, Freed's not the kind to steel other men's chicks,

- It's just; his words were already a little unclear from the amount of alcohol he had consumed.

- Freed is smart, handsome and strong, his one of the thunder god tribe, the man almost whined in desperation,

-I'm starting to question your sexual preferences here, did you want to date Freed? Max joked earning a few laughs from others,

- so you're jealous of Levi for hanging out with Freed then?

- No, Im not, but what if, what if Levi realizes that one day, when she sees how talented he is and forgets about me, Jet said sadly,

-Wow you are one unhappy drunk, Cana pointed out,

- Levi wouldn't do that, Droy said,

- WAIT that's your doubt? Geez, Sphinx shook her head,

-All you have to do is keep her happy,

- Well I'm trying, the oranged hared mage said,

-No don't try, do it, Sphinx said as she narrowed her eyes at the man.

- Confidence is important, now, you find her hot and adorably sexy, Sphinx's blue eyes had Jet suddenly feeling like he was that small rabbit in front of a beast.

-Y-yeah,

- Good then tell her that, with small things, now I'm not talking about gifts and flowers I'm talking about , whispering ' how good she looks or how you really would like to take her right there' while you're at the guild, grab her ass when you hug her, seat her in your lap and rub her thigh with your hand, things like that,

Her finger was now poking the table as in pointing out her message to emphasize her words. Jets face was red but still he listened eagerly,

- show her that feeling, so cute little touches here and there but sometimes you got to take control, Sphinx was explaning everything with a serious voice,

-Now I know you might not be the most dominant man, but for her you got to be. So sometimes just grab her and if you feel like kissing her adorable little pouting face, you kiss her and if you feel like grabbing her perfect round ass while doing, go for it.

-Trust me Levi will love it. Sphinx smirked at the end at the wide eyed Jet.

-Hm, I'm starting to feel like you should consider replacing Freed with Sphinx as a threat to your girlfriend, Warren joined the conversation,

-Hah, sorry Jet , you wouldn't stand a change if she wanted in on it, Sphinx would eat you alive, Cana laughed as the men got all different kind of mental images where Sphinx would seduce the innocent Levi,

- Don't worry Jet, I got enough problems on my own right now and if I ever decided to 'go for it', I would definitly come after you both,

Again her predatory expression came as she licked her lips making Jet swallow uncomfortably. Sphinx and Cana laughed at the men's expression as they high-fived.

-Buahah, relaxes, I'm not going to eat you and beside I'm pretty sure Levi's crazy about you, Sphinx waved her hand dismissing their worries,

- Back to the point Jet, if all that's still not making you feel like the smile she wears around you isn't enough,

- I want you to tie her hand at the top of the bed post, use silk or something like that; you're not ready for leather or cuffs,

Cana grinned widely at her friend detailed explanations as her voice had dipped and the men were all but drinking in her words,

- The make her kneel so she's facing the bedposts,

-Then you crawl between her soft trembling thighs and make her sit on your face and the dinner is served,

The looks around the table were priceless; some were clearly imagine it happening while others looked so shocked that she had actually suggested them. Worst one of was Warren who sadly had the unfortunate ability to see everyone's mental images as well.

Sphinx couldn't resist it, the blue eyes turned to his, demanding him to focus on her. She quickly replaced Levi and Jet with herself on top of him, her expression heated as she pledged his name for more while grinding her hips at his face.

'Or maybe we'll change, I'll put you on the bed in chains and I'll have a little taste'

her smooth heated voice echoed in his head and as the image started to change. Warred quickly got up, face red as he held his nose and almost ran from the table mumbling something about 'bathroom'.

Sphinx sneaker before looking back at Jet,

-You do all that and there is no need for me to get involved. Now go and ask Mira for a drink called 'back from the death',

Sphinx shooed the man away who quickly scrabbled to his feet and went to Mira.

-What is back from the death? Droy asked,

-It's a hangover drink, look if Levi comes home tonight I'm hoping his taking a everything I said to the heart, she'll have one good night.

Leaning back she felt pleased for doing a friend a favor.

-Honestly I really thought he would find Gajeel more of a threat than Freed, Levi and the slayer are pretty close after all,

-He was, but not anymore, Gajeel's got his mind occupied with other things, or more like someone else, Droy said while looking at her.

- Oh damn it, Sphinx whined while face palming,

-Not another word, don't want to hear about them tonight, she warned everyone.

Taking another sip from her drink she relished the sweet numbness the alcohol was providing her tonight. She was definitely getting very tipsy,

-So all this, is it also your personal preferences, Gray asked while smirking at her, his eyes did a little dip before they were back to her face.

A surprised and very pleasant twitch happened in her lower end. Sphinx tuned in on the ice mage only to be yet again cool breeze in return.

Even his aura is cold, kind of hot in a way,

Well hello iceman

Well this night just got a lot more interesting, or it could be the alcohol.

-Of course, tell me one woman who doesn't like to be taken care of?

-While tied? Max said smiling lightly, cocking one of his eyebrows, the alcohol definitely making him bolder.

- Hell yes, Cana answered.

-How about the part about just going for what you want? Gray asked, there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, the kind that makes you really want to know what his thinking.

- Oh, yes, it's hot, Sphinx murmured back while holding his dark eyes in her own.

Gray leaned back so his shoulder touched hers. Sphinx could smell the alcohol mixed with something arctic from his breath as he leaned a little closer to her.

-So, if I were to, pull you on my lap, right now, make those tights spread to straddle me, his voice was low but sure making Sphinx feel her insides tense.

- Then lift you up and put you against this very table, Sphinx saw him look at her lips before again looking seriously to her eyes,

-You would consider it hot? At some point he had lifted his arm over the armrest behind her so he could lean a little closer.

Lifting one finger to trace the Fairytail mark on his chest Sphinx looked up from under her lashes.

-Well, if you really were to do that, while having me on that table, she bite her lip lightly.

-Maybe you would, pull my hand over my head. Her voice was soft experimenting and maybe a little mischievous.

-Oh definitely, he answered

-I would make ice- shackles so I could take that teasing lip of yours in my mouth, His eyes were half lid as she was pretty sure he would soon start to lean in, Gray was definitly getting the full efect of the sudden alcholo rising to his head,

- My legs would probably wrap around you at that point, pull you a little closer,

-Yeah that's definitely hot, his charming smile came back,

For a moment they just stared at each other taking every detail in, Sphinx enjoyed the small moment, she could feel his radiate the coolness but at the moment I really felt fresh. Soon enough their faces broke into brilliant grins and they laughed.

- Yeah, we would make it incredibly hot; Sphinx almost moaned playing her part,

- Its, such a pity, we both have such psychotic stalkers on our ass, isn't it. Gray said as his arm wrapped around her shoulder and the sexy atmosphere left leaving the two of them grinning playfully.

Sphinx leaned fully to the man almost like they had done this before, her head comfortably on his shoulder.

-But think about it, seriously we would look incredibly sexy together; you have the most striking body that I'm just dying to kiss, Gray said in a matter of fact voice,

-Yeah, it's almost cruel, and I love that your always half naked, I mean we could just go around the corner and have a little fun. Sphinx sighed dramatically.

-Has this been going on for long? Levi said as she sat down on the table turning towards Cana, resiving greeting from the people around the table.

-Yeah, for a minute there I thought that Gray was going to have her against the table, what a letdown.

Levi blushed before looking at the two who grinned widely, there was no denying the sexual chemistry between them.

-Can you really make ice-shackles? Max asked

-Sure, I can make anything, he may have answered to Max but his eyes enjoyed how Sphinx's seemed to almost narrow her eyes at him.

-Yes anything, he repeated fully knowing where her perverted mind was going.

-Oh, I like you she purred,

-Hey Cana, Sphinx! Mira yelled from the bar,

-Lucy called and said she can't make it, Natsu made the train stop so their super late.

Both girls sighed but weren't too disappointed as they still had had fun at the guild. Sphinx looked at Cana who had again strike up a conversation with the drunken Max. She felt the cold breath of the Ice-mage on her neck sending a pleasant chill down her body.

-I'm really tempted to just take you away from this place right now, Gray sounded so husky,

- Gray you better not forget that I'm not really as innocent as Levi, you might want to consider who you're telling that to,
