iii. clothed

The room was silent aside from the turning of a page.

Juvia laid against their bed, resting on her stomach with an open book placed before her. Gray admired the sight of her—her hair falling over her eyes and shoulders, the arch of her back, the curve of her backside and the length of her legs swaying idly back and forth. He traced his eyes back up her figure, absentmindedly licking his lips at the view.

Over time, Juvia had grown more confident with her body. She adopted his habit of wearing minimal clothing, but only when she was at home and alone with him. Often times, he was treated to the sight of her naked in a frilly apron and barely-there panties, or her walking around nude in one of his oversized t-shirts—or even now, in just a pink half-shirt and matching lace thong panties, exposing her round bottom and shapely legs.

He sauntered towards the bed, meeting her eyes for a moment as he shifted onto the mattress and planted his arms above her shoulders.

"How's the book?" he asked, brushing his nose by her ear with his body hovering over hers.

Juvia tilted her head back, peering at him through her lashes as a small smile graced her lips. "Is Gray-sama really interested?" she replied, a light blush dusting her cheeks as his hand glided over the swell of her hip.

"Nah," he answered, and she giggled and held the book to her chest as he rolled her on her back. His lips pressed against hers and she smiled into the kiss, placing the book aside and wrapping her arms around his neck. She made a small noise when he nipped her lower lip before pulling away, trailing aimless kisses along her jawline and down her neck.

"Mm…" she sighed, tipping her head back as his tongue glided over her quickening pulse.

"You're matching," Gray murmured, his voice a husky rumble against her skin as his hand slipped underneath her shirt. She mewled when his rough fingers palmed her breast, her soft breaths puffing against his cheek while her eyes rolled close.

"Yes…" she panted, squirming beneath his kneading hand. Her legs slid up his sides as his weight settled between them, hips brushing against hers while his mouth sucked on the juncture of her neck.

"I like it," he said quietly, kissing along her collarbones. "Is it new?"

Her breathy moan was his answer, distracted by the tongue sweeping over her pert nipple through her shirt. "Y-Yes… Juvia… needed new panties… and it came… as a set…"

He kissed down her flat stomach before smirking against her skin, eliciting a shiver from the touch. "That so?" His voice dropped to a seductive rumble, dark eyes rising to meet hers. "How come?"

Juvia bit her lip, wiggling with soft whines when his thumbs swirled against her hipbones. "G-Gray-sama… tore the last ones…"

He sat upright, grabbing her legs and extending them in the air. She held a hand to her lips as he gripped both ankles in one hand, the other sliding down the underside of her calf, knee and thigh before slipping between her legs. She gasped when his fingers pressed against her panties, gliding slowly up and down against the thin fabric.

"What about the others?" he asked, nonchalant to Juvia's squirms and buck of her hips.

"Gray-sama—" she whined, squeezing her eyes shut when his fingers stroked faster. "Hah—"

"How many times," he asked quietly, "have you had to change your panties because of me?" Her cheeks flushed dark as his thumb pressed between her slit, sliding up to the sensitive nubbin at the top. "Soaking wet… from thinking of me?"

She cried out when his thumb massaged her clit, digging hard, fast circles. "Ah—! Gray-sama—"

He smirked, watching the wet patch of her panties grow damper with each caress of his hand. He pushed her legs towards her, raising her hips and offering a better view of the pink lace clinging to her wet folds and ass.

"So wet…" he murmured quietly, stroking her sex with his index and middle fingers. "Already? I've barely touched you."

The girl mewled, biting down on her fist at her lips. "Juvia… c-can't help—ah—"

She leaned her head back when he pushed his fingers into her through her panties, the fabric creating a frustrating barrier.

"Please—" she hoarsely begged, desperately wiggling her hips. His eyes glinted maliciously with a wicked smirk, making her shiver under his predatory gaze. Biting her lip, she reached down and tugged her panties, slanting them over her hip. His hand released her ankles before pinning her hand by her face, his chest pressing against hers as his mouth captured hers in a searing kiss. Juvia whined against his mouth, her legs falling to each side of his hips as she tilted her head and parted her lips.

Breaking the kiss with a small whimper, the girl lifted her lashes, regarding him under a heavy-lidded gaze. "Gray-sama…" she moaned, closing one eye and biting her lip when his hand rubbed harsher.

"You're drenched through your panties," he growled in her ear, his other hand slipping beneath her blouse and groping her breast. Her arms locked around his neck as she moaned against his shoulder, grinding into his hand.

"Yes," she whined, raising her hips for more of his aggressive touch. "Please, please—"

"Not yet," he murmured, his voice even and leveled, starkly contrasting the hand roughly squeezing her breast. His fingers dug into the flesh, nails grazing the skin and coarse fingertips brushing over and sending shivers down her spine. She yearned for more, ached for it—her legs spread wide and her back arched, thrusting her chest in his palm, but he merely grunted in her ear, continuing his hand's ministrations between her legs.

"Ahh—" she cried, frustration seeping into her voice, "Gray-sama—Juvia wants—"

"I know," he growled, making her quiver at the husky tone scraping along her skin.

He shifted against her, removing his hand from her center to grind deeply instead. Juvia cried out at the friction, immediately rolling her hips back against his grinds.

"Shit, Juvia—" he panted, strained breaths fanning her skin, and the girl moaned in response, wrapping her legs around his waist and pushing him into her. He could feel the dampness coating his jeans, seeping through the fabric and sending blood rushing through his head. "You're getting me wet…"

Her cheeks flushed dark, her head spinning from all the sensations overwhelming her.

"So mean, Gray-sama…" she panted, pouting her lips. "Teasing Juvia… like this…"

She ground particularly hard, making him hiss a curse under his breath as his forehead fell to her shoulder. Her fingers slipped in his hair, scoring her nails just the way he liked while she moaned seductively in his ear.

"Please…" she whispered, taking his earlobe between her teeth and nipping gently. He groaned as she brushed her tongue along the shell, panting warm breaths against his skin. "It hurts…"

"Fuck—" he hissed through grit teeth, pushing himself off her. Her lashes fluttered, glazed eyes rising to his, only to find his gaze trained on his pants as he flipped the catches of his belt and unzipped his pants. Her heart raced at the sight, his nimble fingers working hastily while his chest heaved in ragged breaths. When his weight pressed against her once more, she shifted underneath him, slipping her fingers beneath the waistband of her panties and pushing them down.

"Don't," he murmured, and his lips pressed against hers before she could protest. Swerving his tongue inside, he coaxed her mouth open, making her cheeks flush darker from the hunger in his kiss. "Leave them on," he muttered against her lips, pulling away and leaving her breathless. "I want you to wear them." He pushed her panties aside, settling his length at her entrance, "Wear them while I fuck you hard."

She mewled at the brush of his head against her center, biting her lip in gnawing anticipation. Jolts of pleasure shot down her spine as he slid his length over her sex, coating himself in her essence. Her lips sprung apart in a gasp, her lashes hovering low over her eyes when his hand came up to rest against her cheek. Pressing his mouth against hers, he aligned himself and began pushing into her, rocking his hips forward while she fervently returned his kiss.

He pulled back once he was sheathed inside, his dark, half-lidded eyes meeting hers in a hazed glance. Her eyes shone with warm affection, a small smile curving her lips as her hand cupped his flushed cheek. He placed his hand over her own, turning towards her touch and kissing her palm before leaning his hips back and thrusting forward. Juvia's eyes shut closed, a throaty cry escaping her lips while her face twisted cutely.

He laced his fingers with her own before placing her hand beside her face, setting a fast, hard pace that left her body bucking beneath his. Her moans echoed off the walls, intercalating with his grunts and groans while he pounded against her. She raised her hips to accommodate his powerful thrusts, crying out at the force. He growled her name and nipped her neck, grazing his teeth along her skin before sliding his tongue over her throat.

His free hand slid down her thigh, gripping it tightly and hitching it higher on his waist. Capturing her lips, he slanted his mouth and kissed her hungrily, stifling her mewls against his lips at every thrust.

"Mm—mm—mm—"

He groaned low against her mouth before pulling away to breathe, panting against her neck while her fingers passed through his hair. He loved the moans of his name, the rolls of her hips and the way her body fit so perfectly under his. Her blouse rode up her stomach, clinging to her curves while her panties hitched higher on her hips. The clothed bounce of her breasts to every thrust was tantalizing, his lips blazing a path down her collarbones to kiss a rosy peak. Juvia mewled at the flick of his tongue, feeling a wetness swirl around before his mouth enveloped her nipple and sucked. Her head tilted back while her nails dug into his shoulders, leaving crescent-shaped marks behind while his other hand rested against the curve of her back, drawing her closer to his rhythmically sucking mouth.

"Gray-sama—" she moaned, gliding her heels along his powerful back as his hips rocked against hers. He released her breast with a wet suck, pressing kisses up her neck before capturing her lips once more. She cupped his cheeks and whined against his mouth, squeezing around his length and making him grunt against her. Breaking the kiss, she fell back against the mattress and panted, brushing his bangs out of his eyes while he looked down at her. His gaze was heated, dark and heavy as her eyes rolled closed, wet bangs clinging to her forehead and cheeks with soft moans escaping her lips.

Leaning down, he brushed his lips against her cheek, jaw and neck while she tilted her head to give him more access. He sucked on her racing pulse, earning a throaty whimper as her legs spread wider against the mattress. Angling his hips, he thrust forward, striking deep inside as a scream tore from her lips. She pleaded and he obliged, slamming inside while gliding his tongue along her throat. Her moans came higher and faster, her grip on his shoulders tightening the faster he moved. Before long she found herself caught in a wave of ecstasy, tossing her head back and riding the high as her legs squeezed around his hips before gradually slacking.

He was quick to follow after her, the euphoric contracting of her walls sending him over the edge as he grit his teeth and growled her name. Collapsing against her, the two panted heavily, their bodies a sweaty, flushed mess of tangled limbs. Gray eased off of her, glancing to the wisps of hair curled against her flushed cheeks as her dazed eyes met his.

"Gray-sama…"

He grinned wickedly at her, sliding his hands along her legs before lifting them to her gaze. She glanced to the article of clothing hanging off his finger, only to squeak and cover her face—he was dangling her panties, wet and crumped and dirty while his teasing smirk grew wider in pride.

"Gray-sama—" Juvia whined, pushing herself upright as he sat back. "Give Juvia—" He moved his arm out of her reach, snickering to her pout as he tucked it in the back pocket of his jeans. Her cheeks blushed darker, burning in embarrassment while she frowned at him.

"What?" he said, arching a mocking brow to her glower. "They're nice. I wanna keep 'em."

"No!" she squeaked, planting her weight on her hands and knees and reaching around him. "Juvia—needs to wash—Gray-sama!"

He easily evaded her hand, leaning back and forth and to the side. He grinned at the building aggravation in her eyes, some stray strands falling in front of them before she blew them aside.

"You know, you're pretty cute when you're angry," he smirked before snatching her wrist and pinning her underneath him. Juvia squeaked upon finding herself on her back once more, fluttering her eyes closed as his mouth pressed against hers before trailing kisses down her neck.

"Gray-sama…" she admonished weakly, biting her lip when he gently sucked against her pulse. "J—Juvia's underwear need to be washed, and Gray-sama's pants too, because…" Her face flushed dark, "J-J-Juvia… made them d-dirty—"

"Hm," he grunted, nipping her neck.

"Ahn…" she whined, squirming beneath him while his hand skimmed down her side, to the hem of her blouse. "J-Juvia… needs to take a shower…"

He suddenly stopped his ministrations, promptly lifting his head to hers. "I'll join you."

"Eh?!" she squeaked, snapping her gaze to his.

Gray smirked at her, stealing a quick kiss from her lips. "You did get my jeans dirty, right?"

The girl flushed and wailed, covering her face while Gray kicked off his pants. Pulling up her shirt, he lifted it over her head before tossing it aside and scooping her up in his arms, snickering on his strides to the bathroom.
