A Night to Remember
After Kitsune's heat, Ivy's came and went. She claims she was the lucky one to come out of it unmated which started a fight between the twins. Gajeel stopping it by throwing a shouting Kit over his shoulder and leaving the guild. With autumn done and gone, winter came, and so did Christmas. That year's Christmas miracle was Lyon asking out Juvia. The guild gave a collective cheer as she agreed. The guild was able to start the New Year drier with Juvia no longer pining after Gray. Winter then melted into spring, which brightened the hearts of many of the wizards that prefer warmer weather. For example, Saph. And like a flower, Saph's dreary winter mood blossoms into energetic happiness with the spring.
With the warmer weather, the silent plant wizard used her magic to start a garden in the guild yard and decorate the inside of the guild. Each day, she tends to all of her plants with a smile on her face. It has brightened up the guild in a way they didn't know fresh flowers and greenery could. To show their gratitude, and with May just around the corner, the entire guild is readying a celebration for the woman's birthday.
Gray is especially looking forward to her birthday. He had the perfect present for her, and he was going to finally know if she felt the same. Since the silver haired woman joined the guild, the ice make wizard has watched her from afar. With Juvia hanging off of him before, he had been afraid of the rain woman's wrath if he tried to get to know the silent beauty. Then Juvia dropped her obsession, freeing Gray to pursue who he truly wanted. He tried to get close to her, he really did. But every time he would try to approach her, his nerves would cause him to strip faster than usual. Saph would always take one look at his naked body, and her face would light up in the cutest blush in Gray's opinion. She would point out his lack of attire, giggle at his reaction, and then run across the guild to get away from him. So he has been stuck falling in love with Saph from a distance. He could only hope that she had feelings for him, too, and he would find out on her birthday.
From her garden in front of the guild, Saph watches Gray enter the guild already stripping his shirt. She can feel the heat pooling in her cheeks as she tries to focus on the plants in her hands. She thought Gray was really attractive. If she was asked by one of the other knights, she would say he was downright lickable. When she had first joined the guild, it was just lust that kept her bright green eyes on the ice make wizard. Saph would have confronted him, then, if Avial hadn't warned her about Juvia. Saph didn't want to create any bad blood between guild members, so Saph watched from a distance. Her lust started to turn into something more when she got to know the man. Before she knew it, she had fallen for the stripping ice mage. So when Juvia got together with Lyon, Saph's heart soared, but every time Gray gets near her she escapes in the other direction in embarrassment. She may be confident in her magic and her looks, how can she not be with her body pretty much on display in her belly dancer like clothing, but she is emotionally fragile. When she just lusted after him, she would've done whatever she wanted with confidence because she wouldn't have gotten hurt, but now with her heart a flutter any time he is close, she's afraid he wouldn't want a woman without a voice.
That's how Saph found herself sitting with the girls of the guild and staring at a shirtless Gray fighting a fired up Natsu. Her green eyes sweep over his hairless muscular chest, salivating at how low his pants were hanging. She wants to lick at that Adonis line and trace his guild emblem with her tongue. She is brought back from her fantasizing by Lucy. "Hey, Saph, what do you want for your birthday?" Saph blushes at her initial perverted answer to the question but quickly pushes that aside before she accidently thought-speaks it.
The plant wizard turns towards the excited blonde, taking in the expectant looks of the others and ignoring the knowing perverted look of Kitsune. "I don't need anything. The party is enough, and I don't even need that."
"Come o~on, Saph. You have to want something!" Lucy exclaims exasperated, grabbing the birthday girl's shoulders and shaking her. Saph just throws her head back in a silent laugh at her friends'. She really did love this guild.
Gray watches Saph laugh silently with the girls from his spot next to a pouting Natsu after their fight was ended by an annoyed Erza. Gray was nervous about his present, but it was too late to back out now with the party only a couple days away.
Now on the day of her birthday, the guild is in full party swing. Everyone is drinking. There's a band playing on stage, and people are dancing. The cake has already been cut and devoured, and Saph had opened the few presents given to her. Some of them had made her blush at their perverted nature which coaxed laughs out of the drunk wizards.
Saph makes her way towards the bar with her presents in her arms. "Hey, Mirajane, would you mind if I left these behind the bar for the night? I don't want them broken due to rough housing." She smiles sweetly at the barmaid.
"Of course," Mira chirps happily taking the presents and hiding them under the bar, "You have another present though." The takeover wizard points at the end of the bar where two wrapped boxes sit prettily. Saph walks over to them curiously.
The taller box is wrapped in an ice blue paper with a bright green ribbon. The smaller is a longer rectangular black box with the same color ribbon. She picks up the note taped to the larger present.
Happy Birthday, Beautiful!
I have watched you from afar, and you just had to melt
the ice around my heart. If you figure out who I am and
feel the same, then meet me on the bridge at midnight.
Secret Admirer
Her heart leaps in her chest. She reads the note again and again. Saph's face breaks out in a wide grin and a blush when she realizes who wrote the note. She looks at the presents and decides to start with the bigger of the two.
When she tries to pick up the decorated box, it's lighter than she thought. It had no bottom. She looks in the empty box and then at the counter where it had been. Her eyes widen at what had been hiding under the box. In a blue flower pot is a Venus flytrap, her favorite plant. If she had a voice, the expression on her face would be accompanied by a high pitch squeal of delight.
She brushes the blue ribbon tied on its stem like a collar and trails her finger up to the head with a spark of her magic. The plant starts to wriggle till it comes to life and nuzzles her finger. She lightly scratches under its chin, silently giggling as it shakes its leaves. She moves on to the second present.
She covers her mouth with a gasp when she opens the box. Laying inside is a gold choker with thin gold chains dangling from the bottom in a pyramid style. She brushes the precious metal with light caresses, tears in her eyes. She removes the black fabric choker, revealing the scar it hides. She gently puts on her new one. It clicks behind her neck, fitting perfectly, the longest chain in the center resting just between her breasts.
Saph has Mirajane put her new pet up on a shelf for protection, and then she turns from the bar looking around the guild for a certain stripping wizard. Her eyes lock with dark gray ones from across the guild. She smiles brushing her fingers against her new necklace, watching his eyes follow the movement. Saph starts towards him but is stopped by a hand clasping around her wrist and dragging her in the opposite direction.
Saph turns her head and stares directly into the devilish scheming eyes of none other than Kitsune. "It's time to dance, Saph. I made a special request of the band. You're going to entertain us!" Saph laughs silently as her friend wriggles her eyebrows suggestively. Saph loves to dance. Plants love music and grow better when listening to it, so Saph does too. She lets Kit drag her to the dance floor, which the fiery woman had already cleared. "Hit it!" Kit yells to the band as she jogs off the dance floor, plopping onto Gajeel's lap as the music starts.
The bass drum starts with a steady beat. Saph raises her arms above her head twisting them as her hips move side to side without her upper torso moving. Her belly dancer outfit wasn't just for show, she really did belly dance. The gold bracelets on her wrists jingle with each movement of her arms. Her hips rolling in a figure eight. Her large chest, wrapped in green bandages, moves independent of her hips. She ignores the cat calls of the guild and loses herself in the music.
Gray's eyes widen as he watches her dance. Her moves fluid like water at one moment and then jagged the next like lightening. He can feel his cock swelling at the seductive dance. He looks down quickly to make sure he still has something on and luckily he still has on his boxers. When his eyes move back up, they lock with half lidded green ones, and his breath catches in his throat. She rolls her stomach, seductively swaying her hips, while keeping eye contact.
He swallows thickly as she drops in a low squat, spreading her knees with her hands before raising back up. The beat quickens and her hips oscillate just as fast as she turns away. He lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding during their staring contest. Gray looks at a clock and realizes it's five till midnight. He quickly grabs his shirt and slips out of the guild unnoticed as she finishes her dance.
Saph pants as she looks over the crowd for Gray, but her heart drops when she doesn't see him. She wonders if he didn't like it, until she sees what time it is. Her smiles brightens when she realizes she was right that Gray gave her the presents. When she is able to get away from the crowd, it is a minute till midnight. She dashes out of the guild and runs as fast as she can to the bridge.
"Gray!" That sweet voice calls in his mind. Said man turns from the railing to see Saph bent over panting behind him. He smiles at her, stepping closer.
"I'm glad you came, Saph." Gray admits standing in front of her.
She looks up at him with hopeful eyes, "Did you really mean what you wrote?"
He cups her cheek pulling her up on her tip toes as he leans down to brush his lips against her in a brief kiss. "Yes, I love you." With that, Gray presses his chilled lips against her soft warm ones making her gasp. He takes the opportunity to slide his tongue into her mouth. His other arm wraps around her waist pulling her flush against his body, enjoying the shiver it causes. He groans softly as her hands slide up his bare chest and tangle in his hair.
Gray pulls away just enough to let them both breathe. He takes in her closed eyes, flushed cheeks, and soft pants. He takes a step back, making her hands fall from his hair and into his hands. "The presents aren't done yet." He pulls the confused plant mage along with him into the woods.
They enter a clearing with a small pond. He enjoys the gasp his hard work draws from her. On the shore of the pond is a blanket spread out with lightening lacrima for light. The vast starry sky and large full moon on display above them. Gray turns towards the dazzled woman. "Do you know how to ice skate?" She nods unconsciously still staring at the sky. Gray chuckles at how cute she can be.
He tugs her to the edge of the pond before turning around. "Ice make: Ice floor." His hands come in contact with the water's surface, and he turns the entire pond into an ice rink. He take her hand again and pulls her onto the ice with him. They dance under the moonlight. Gray spins her and then tosses her into the air catching her in his strong arms. They dance on the ice till they are both out of breath.
Gray holds her in his arms carrying her from the ice, letting it melt as they step onto solid ground. He lies her down on the blanket, taking in her beauty in the moonlight. Her silver hair is splayed like a halo and glowing. Her bright green eyes sparkling with happiness and love with a dark undertone of lust. Her pale skin is flushed. The necklace he had gotten her shining in the moonlight. Saph's pale peach colored lips parted as she pants with a smile. He dives in for a passionate kiss.
Saph's hands come up and rest against his naked chest. She sucks and plays with his tongue as she caresses his cool chest and back. Not to be out done, Gray holds himself above her with one arm. His free hand traces the swell of her breasts. The sharp intake of breath, letting him know that she likes it.
He makes a small blade of ice on his finger and cuts open the bandage constricting her chest. She pulls back with a gasp, eyes wide. Gray just smirks at her and kisses his way down her neck, nuzzling the gold band, and down to her milky breasts. He gives open mouth kisses to her left breast. His tongue teasing the succulent nipple as he pinches the other gently with his fingers. The gasps and sighs above him are his guide to playing her pleasure points. Her trembling and arching making his dick ache with want.
Saph's nimble hands bury themselves in his thick hair tugging his mouth closer to her body. She spreads her legs to let him settle more comfortably between them. She throws her head back, and he groans as he grinds his throbbing length against her core. Her legs wrap around his waist as he thrusts against her. He feels her quiver beneath him as he send pleasure coursing through her body. He groans at the friction on his dick and the taste of her skin on his tongue.
She digs her fingers into his back, meeting his hips with her own. His hand moves down to stall her hips as he pants against her breasts, trying to gain back some control over his body. She takes the opportunity to flip their positions. Saph gives him a brief kiss before moving to his neck and shoulders. The thin chains from her necklace lightly dancing across his skin making him shiver as she works down his body.
Her hands lightly scratch their way down to his pants, but her fingers brush against the band of his boxers instead. Her shoulders shake as she giggles silently. She dips her fingers in his boxers scratching his hip before sliding them down his legs.
She throws the black material to the side. She runs her hand up and down his length slowly, watching him arch and groan. She leans down between his legs and licks the base of his dick. Watching his eyes shut as she drags her tongue up the vein to lick at the tip.
Gray struggles to rest on his elbows so he can watch her head between his thighs. He groans seeing his dick disappear between plump lips as her silver head bobs in his lap. Her mouth and tongue are wet and warm around his throbbing length. His eyes roll back as his dick slides down her tight throat and she swallows. His hips thrust up in pleasure but are held down by her small hands. Gray pants as she brings him closer to climax with her talented mouth and tongue.
"Sa~ph." He moans as she buries her nose in his pubic hair swallowing around his cock and gripping his balls with one hand. He threads his fingers in her soft hair holding her in place as his orgasm hits him. His vision darkens as he thrusts shallowly in her mouth filling it with his cum. He collapses onto the blanket panting heavily as he comes down from his high.
Saph swallows the sticky fluid with a silent hum at the salty sweet taste. She kisses her way back up his muscular stomach and chest, tracing his muscles with the tip of her tongue. The small shocks of pleasure reawakening his erection that pokes her inner thigh.
He switches their positions as soon as their mouths connect in a deep passionate kiss. He plays with her tongue, coaxing it into his mouth swallowing her gasps of pleasure. He leaves her panting as he kissing down her body to return the favor. He spends time worshiping her breasts again. Rolling his tongue over her nipples, massaging the globes with his strong hands, nipping lightly at the skin leaving small hickeys all over them. Deeming her breasts ravage enough, he kisses down her stomach, dipping his tongue in her navel noting the way she tries to squirm away. With a soft chuckle, he locks the knowledge of her ticklish spot away.
He kisses along the gold band of her pants. Saph tugs on his black locks softly; her other hand grasping the blanket underneath them. Gray pulls back just enough to look her in the eye from between her legs as he takes off her pants. The soft blush dusting her cheeks, dilated pupils, and heaving chest make him groan. He looks between her legs, and instead of panties like he was expecting, he is met by her glistening shaven core. Gray groans flattening his tongue and licking her pussy lips. "I didn't know you were this naughty, Saph."
"Sh-shut up." Saph looks away blushing and panting. Gray chuckles and spreads her legs more with his hands on her inner thighs rubbing the skin. He buries his nose in her cunt, licking and sucking on her clit. The trembling thighs under his hands and her heavy panting letting him know she likes his ministrations. Gray hums as her sweet nectar tantalizes his taste buds, he's already addicted. He starts flicking his tongue over her lips, delving his tongue inside to rub her walls.
Saph throws her head back in a silent scream, tugging on his hair in ecstasy. Gray moves to kiss and nip at her inner thigh as he slips a finger and then two into her core. He takes in her disheveled appearance. Her eyes clenched in pleasure, head thrown back, mouth open panting and mouthing his name, both her hands fisting the blanket. His eyes darken in lust knowing he did this to her.
He thrusts his fingers in her pussy, twisting and rubbing them against her inner walls. He rests on his elbow by her head, so he can watch her expressions. His dick twitches every time he sees his name on her lips. He slips in a third finger, thrusting them in hard as his thumb presses on her clit. Gray feels her clamp down on his fingers, her body trembling all over, as she cums all over his hand.
Panting heavily, Saph opens her eyes to see Gray licking his hand clean moaning at the taste of her essence. He places his hand beside her head, resting his hard cool body on top of her warmer softer one. The tip of his cock teasing her entrance. Saph brings her hands up, hooking them around his shoulders. She brings their lips together in a gentle embrace, pouring all of her love for him into that single kiss.
The kiss leaves them breathless. Gray stares into her beautiful eyes. He watches her lips move as she tells him something. His response is crashing his lips against hers fervently as he sinks his length into her warmth. Once full situated, he pauses catching his breath so he doesn't cum too soon. He feels her trembling beneath him.
He pulls out slowly and thrusts back in slow and deep. Her walls clamping down on his dick encouraging him to do it again. Gray starts a deep and steady pace. Kissing her lips, neck, and shoulders as she pants and gasps in his ear. He traces the edge of her necklace with his tongue. It representing his claim on her. He moves one hand down to caress her outer thigh as he thrusts in harder yet keeping the pace slow. He places his ear near her lips, feeling them form his name over and over. Gray closes his eyes, picking her leg up and sliding it over his shoulder. He groans at the new tight depth around his cock, and Saph throws her head back with a silent scream. Her fingers dig into his shoulders pleasurably.
Her other leg wraps tightly around his waist, pulling him into her quicker. Taking the silent message, Gray starts increasing his tempo. Soon he is thrusting into her with abandon. Saph thrashes her head side to side, panting heavily and crying out his name silently. He licks and bites at her shoulders and breasts, groaning as her walls clamp down and spasm around his cock. He can feel his orgasm rushing towards him. Gray licks at her nipples while one hand moves between them to play with her clit. She is sent to cloud nine as she clings to him desperately. Saph throws her head back as stars light up behind her eyelids. She hears Gray groan deeply in her ear and feels his body tense above her. Warm spurts of liquid cover her inner walls making her tremble.
Gray collapses beside her, so his larger body doesn't crush her. He pulls her to his chest, resting his chin on top of her head. He thinks back to what she had mouthed to him that made him lose control, 'I love you, Gray'. His heart swells and warms his chest as he holds her close. He buries his nose in her hair breathing in her natural floral scent. Saph nuzzles his chest letting his snow crisp and peppermint scent waft over her and lull her to sleep with the steady beating of his heart. With a quiet chuckle at her cuteness, he grabs the second blanket he had folded up and covers the both of them. Gray kisses the top of her head and joins her in sleep.
