Hello! Here's the next part, I hope you like it:)
So in this chapter I reference a previous story I wrote called, Dare or dare. I did not plan to link these two stories together, but it
just clicked when the idea came into my head so I decided to roll with it. And this story unintentionally became the sequel to Dare
or dare, so If you would like to get the full story of the flashback I mention in this one, feel free to check it out! Also, there are
two lemons in it, just thought I'd let you know;D But no pressure!
Okay, on with the story!
Releasing a satisfied sigh, Gray rolled onto his back and closed his eyes as his sweat coated chest heaved with every ragged breath. He lifted his hand to brush away the stray bangs that clung to his forehead while his tongue grazed the fresh cut on his bottom lip. Soft nimble fingers glided across his chest and his eyes opened responsively.
"Gray-sama, is amazing." Juvia said breathlessly as she pressed her supple body against his.
A lazy smile formed on the ice mage's features and his deep voice rolled out. "You weren't so bad yourself, babe. But did you havta bite so hard?"
The bluenette lifted her head and looked up at the handsome mage beside her with a slightly worried expression on her face. "Oh no, did Juvia hurt Gray-sama?"
Gray smirked playfully then used his index finger to curl out his bottom lip, revealing the cut to her. Her blue eyes widened in horror and she promptly pushed herself forward to grasp the sides of his face. Gray smiled as she examined his lip attentively, her long wavy hair fell around her shoulders and a delicate blush tinted her cheeks.
"It's no big deal, Juvia. I've had a lot worse injuries you know." He said reassuringly.
A guilty pout formed on her pretty face as she spoke in a shameful tone. "Yes, but Juvia never inflicted any of those wounds."
Gray grinned in amusement while thinking to himself. 'Funny, she doesn't seem to remember the night when she clawed the hell out of my back with those nails of hers. Cause those bad boys stung, and left me with red scratches across my shoulders for two days. But it was so worth it.. Maybe she's freaking out cause this is the first time she's drawn blood.'
He was brought back to reality, by the sensation of her soft breasts brushing against his toned pecs. His eyebrow raised ever so slightly and he gazed up at her face. She stared at his lips while her eyes flickered with guilt and a little dash of lust.
Gray reached up and grasped the back of her head as he growled out. "I'll live."
He swiftly pulled her mouth onto his and kissed her hungrily, muffling her whimper. His thumb moved to grip her chin and pulled it down, thus opening her mouth so his tongue could slide in. Juvia moaned into him and tilted her head, giving him better access. Gray explored her mouth eagerly as his palm slid down and he cupped her large breast, growling in delight. She whimpered against his lips, urging him on as he roughly kneaded her chest. With a final squeeze, his large hand moved away from her bust and curled around to grasp her waist as their tongues wrestled passionately. After a few moments, Juvia broke the kiss to catch her breath. Gray then licked his lips, relishing the delicious taste of her. The bluenette gently sighed and started planting kisses along his strong jaw line.
Her warm breath fanning his neck as she purred. "Gray-sama has permission to punish Juvia for being too rough."
Gray smirked deviously as he teased in a low voice. "Oh, I intend to do just that."
Slyly, his hand dipped down and he administered a quick pinch to the girl's pert backside.
Juvia yelped as her body instinctively jerked forward, causing the ice mage to chuckle heartily. "Gray-sama!" She whined, then knocked his hand away with a pop of her hip.
Straightening her arms, she tried her hardest to glare threateningly at the man laying beneath her. But Gray simply cocked his head to the side and flashed his pearly white teeth in an incredibly sexy smile. Juvia felt her resolve wane as her cheeks flushed uncontrollably at the sight of him. She bit her bottom lip nervously, how could she possibly stay mad at a face like that?
Feeling she had lost the battle, the water mage averted her gaze and then laid down on his chest, resting her cheek on his pectoral muscle. Gray laughed to himself, then lifted his hand to sweep her long tresses off her shoulder. 'Damn, she's adorable.' He thought with a smile, while his fingers gently stroked her back.
After a couple minutes of peaceful silence, Gray's thoughts began to wander. And soon, his eyes narrowed with a dark determination. "Juvia, we need to do something about this whole situation with Cana."
Juvia adjusted her head so she could watch the ice mage as he continued his train of thought.
"And not to mention Happy, that lil fur ball is getting way too big for his britches. Tonight, he referred to me as his slave.. then demanded I give him two fish tomorrow instead of one!"
Juvia raised her brow in shock and tried not too laugh. Because even though to her, it was actually pretty funny, she could tell that Gray was not at all amused.
"Sounds to Juvia, like a certain kitty is on a serious power-trip." She said.
Gray nodded his head then said dangerously low. "He called me, Snowflake."
The bluenette widened her eyes in shock. "Uh oh." She squeaked.
He sighed heavily and mindlessly started fiddling with the sword pendant on his necklace, a habit he picked up whenever he was in deep thought. "I still can't believe that Cana was bossing around Natsu and Lucy like they were her slaves! It doesn't make sense, especially in Natsu's case. He has never been one to take orders without a fuss.. Except when it's Erza."
Juvia smiled to herself and nodded her head. 'Erza can be quite intimidating.' She thought.
After a moment, Juvia had a thought. "Gray-sama, what if Cana is black-mailing Natsu and Lucy, just like how she's trying to black-mail Gray-sama!"
Gray furrowed his brows contemplatively, "Well, yeah that would explain them doing whatever she wants.. but that means she has to have some dirt on - ah!"
The water mage slightly jumped at his outburst. With a knowing look, Gray turned toward Juvia. "She caught them.."
Realization struck and Juvia announced loudly, "That night!"
Gray smiled, relieved that all the pieces were starting to come together. "That has to be it!" He said with confidence.
Juvia then fell silent as a fierce blush came to her cheeks and her hand rested against her mouth.
Gray spiked his eyebrow questionably, "What is it?"
Looking up at him, Juvia's eyes sparkled with desire. "That night.. was our first time together."
Gray laughed shortly, before smirking down at the girl. "Of course, that's what you focus on. You insatiable little vixen." He said as a playful spark flashed in his eyes.
Juvia sensually licked her lips and started kissing Gray's chiseled torso as she purred wantonly. "Does Gray-sama ever think about that night?"
He grinned wickedly as his hand combed his dark hair back. "Are you kidding me? God, just thinking about that night gives me a - hey wait!"
Snapping back to reality, Gray reached out and swiftly pulled Juvia's mouth off his body. "We're getting off track here, now focus woman!"
Juvia whined in protest, then defiantly pressed her lips to Gray's thumb. "..So what's the next step?" She asked somewhat impatiently.
Gray took a moment to think, then announced his decision. "Well, if we're gonna take on Cana, we need allies. So tomorrow morning.. let's pay a visit to Natsu and Lucy."
Juvia nodded her head calmly, then suddenly pounced on the ice mage with a feral roar.

The next morning...
Gray and Juvia made their way over to Lucy's place after grabbing some breakfast at a nearby café. Gray thought it was the most logical place to look, considering how often Lucy complained about Natsu breaking into her apartment on a daily basis. Standing in front of the door, the ice mage delivered three sharp knocks and both of them waited for an answer. Inside, they could hear some rustling noises and frantic muffled voices, causing the pair to glance at each other with puzzled faces. Suddenly, the door swung open, revealing a very disheveled blonde standing in front of them. Lucy's hair was tousled and the pink pajamas she wore, had some buttons fastened in the wrong holes, giving her an unusually sloppy appearance.
Her slender eyebrows furrowed once she saw the mages outside her front door and she asked curiously. "Gray? Juvia? What are you two doing here?"
Just as Gray opened his mouth to reply they heard another voice yell. "Eh, Frosty?!"
Then Natsu appeared next to Lucy in only his pants and his pink hair was messier than usual.
Gray narrowed his eyes dangerously at the dragon slayer and growled. "Isn't it a bit early for you to be pissing me off already, Natsu?"
Salamander smirked devilishly and said in a mocking tone. "Morning, noon, night, it's always a good time to bust you balls, Icy!"
The ice mage clenched his teeth angrily as he curled his fingers into a tight fist. Juvia panicked at the growing tension and quickly intervened, taking a step forward she asked. "Is this a bad time? Were Lucy and Natsu in the middle of something?"
Lucy's eyes widened as a blush came to her face. "Wha? N-No, we were just.. uh, sleeping!" The blonde stammered nervously.
Gray raised his eyebrow suspiciously, before Natsu piped up. "Yeah! I was dreaming that I had turned into a giant awesome dragon that had two heads, a-and five tails and I was a king that could break mountains in half with just my face!"
Dead silence followed, as Gray and Juvia stared blankly at the erratic Salamander. Lucy rolled her eyes exasperated before shaking her head.
Juvia and Gray glanced at each other, then the bluenette cleared her throat and attempted to break the awkward silence. "So anyway, Gray-sama and Juvia came here to discuss something important. May we come in?"
Lucy suddenly perked up, remembering her manners. "Oh! Yeah, sorry you guys, come on in." She then stepped to the side to let them pass, and when Natsu didn't budge, the blonde shoved him out of the way with an annoyed groan. Gray and Juvia walked inside and Lucy shut the door behind them. Gray quickly looked around and then turned to Natsu. "Where's Happy?"
The dragon slayer replied hurriedly. "I sent him to the store so me and Lucy could, uh, sleep!" Gray stared back at him, completely unconvinced. "Uh, huh. Look, the reason we came here this morning, is because we noticed Cana is treating you guys like her personal servants and we think we know why."
Lucy got a nervous look on her face as she asked anxiously. "W-Why?"
Juvia clasped her hands in front of her and spoke in a gentle tone. "Gray-sama and Juvia know you two are seeing each other."
A light blush dusted Lucy's cheeks and Natsu squared his shoulders as he said defensively. "What are you talkin' about?!"
Gray rolled his eyes then said flat out. "Don't play dumb. We saw you guys together."
Natsu's eyes bulged out and he asked demandingly. "Where?! The park? The rooftop of the guild? Gajeel's stool? A-" The dragon slayer was silenced by Lucy clamping her hand over his mouth while a bright blush stained her face. "Shut, up!" The blonde said in a hushed tone.
Gray and Juvia gaped in shock, before the ice mage interjected. "Uh, no.. Remember that night when we all drank with Cana and played that dare challenge? Yeah, after that, Juvia and I were at the pool and that's when we saw you and Lucy in the window together."
Realization hit Lucy as she squeaked in embarrassment and after a second, Natsu bellowed angrily. "You were spying on us?! I should have known, Gray! Not only are you a streaker, but now a streaking pervert!"
Gray growled in frustration before he yelled at Natsu. "Shut up, you pink-haired freak! We were minding our own business! We just happened to look up and saw you two in the window."
Natsu glared heatedly at the ice mage and that's when Juvia spoke up. "It's true. Juvia and Gray-sama did not intend to see you two that night. It just..happened."
Gray nodded his head, then replied. "Yeah, and then we saw Cana.."

Flashback two weeks ago...
Gray and Juvia's POV
Gray and Juvia gaped in shock as the silhouettes of Natsu and Lucy thrashed wildly in the window, their moans of pleasure very faint. Then, Gray noticed something else in the window. Another silhouette with long wavy hair stood motionless behind the lovers. Gray's eyebrow twitched as he bellowed, "Who the fuck is that!?"
A couple seconds went by, before the third shadow in the window suddenly dove forward & slapped Natsu's ass while yelling, "That a boy, Natsu!"
The dragon slayer roared in pain, then turned his head to the offending silhouette & yelled, "Cana, get the Hell outta here!"
And just as quickly as she appeared, Cana's shadow vanished, the faint trace of her malevolent cackling trailed behind her.
End of Flashback.
Lucy whined in the back of her throat, before she said miserably. "You saw that, too?"
Gray sighed quietly. "Unfortunately."
"So is that the reason why you and Natsu are doing favors for Cana?" Juvia asked curiously.
Lucy and Natsu glanced at each other before the blonde said despondently. "I'm afraid so. She said if we didn't do what she wanted, she would tell everyone what she saw."
Gray crossed his arms over his chest and said determinedly. "That's why we're here. You see, she's trying to do the exact same thing to us at the moment."
The celestial wizard looked puzzled. "I don't get it. Why is she trying to black-mail you two?"
Gray knitted his brows together. "Um, well..." He then looked at Juvia who smiled timidly at him with a bright blush staining her cheeks.
Natsu appeared very confused as he looked at the pair, but Lucy instantly gasped and jutted her index finger at them. "You two are together?!"
Gray shifted awkwardly while running his hand through his dark hair. "Well-" Lucy suddenly squealed happily causing Natsu and Gray to flinch simultaneously.
"Finally! Oh, I'm so happy for you guys!" The blonde exclaimed joyously as she went over and grasped Juvia's hands with hers.
The water mage beamed at her now ex-love rival and said gleefully. "Thank you Lucy! Juvia is so excited she can finally tell someone about her and Gray-sama!"
Natsu and Gray watched in astonishment as the girls squeaked and giggled with excitement.
"So how long has this been going on?" Lucy asked.
"Tomorrow, it'll be two weeks!" The bluenette said in a high-pitched voice.
The celestial wizard gasped incredulously. "Oh my god, really?!"
Juvia nodded her head rapidly as a huge smile stretched across her face. "Yes, Juvia has never been happier! Gray-sama is the most Incredible lover!"
Lucy froze as her eyes widened in surprise. "Oh my."
Meanwhile, Gray's eyes shrank to tiny orbs and his face turned as red as a cherry tomato. "Juvia.." He said in a low semi-threatening tone.
Hearing her name, the bluenette turned toward Gray while placing her hand up to her mouth innocently. "Did Juvia say something she shouldn't have?"
Gray closed his eyes and opened his mouth to reply, but Juvia rushed up to him with a pleading look on her face. "It's true Gray-sama! Why, Juvia had never experienced multiple orgasms till y-"
The water mage was cut off by Gray gently pinching her lips together and therefore muffling the rest of her sentence. "Okay, that's enough Juvia." Gray said with a nervous chuckle as he held her soft lips between his thumb and pointer finger.
Lucy covered her mouth to hide her smile and Natsu let out a loud snort. Lucy jabbed Natsu's ribs in order to silence him and Gray sent the dragon slayer an icy glare.
"So yes, Cana needs to be stopped. And that's why we came here to talk to you two." Gray said nonchalantly. Juvia quietly whined and Gray sent her a quick look of warning, before he moved his hand away from her mouth. She then wriggled her lips in silent defiance and Gray tried to conceal his grin, before he continued.
"I think we should work together to get incriminating evidence on Cana so she can't black-mail any of us." Gray then crossed his arms and smirked to himself. "After all, the enemy of my enemy, is my friend." He said quietly.
Natsu perked up and pointed a finger at the ice mage, accusingly. "Hey, we may not get along that great..but I wouldn't call us Enemies!"
Lucy rolled her eyes and turned to the Salamander in a calming voice. "No, what he means.. Is that since we're all upset with Cana, it gives us a common objective."
Natsu stared blankly at the blonde. "Huh?"
Lucy sighed exasperated then lifted her hand. "Cana's goin' down!" She said while jabbing her thumb downward for emphasis.
A mischievous smirk crossed Natsu's face and he lifted his fist up in the air while shouting. "Cana's going down! Haha! I'm gonna march in there and tell her to fetch her own damn drinks!"
Gray lifted his hand to stop the fired-up dragon slayer. "Wait! We don't have anything on her yet. Until we do, you guys will have to go along with her demands so she won't suspect anything. Sorry you two, but until we get hard evidence of her doing something real bad, you have to be her servants for a little bit longer."
Natsu and Lucy sank with sudden disappointment as a dark cloud formed over their heads. Juvia's voice suddenly chimed in as she spoke encouragingly. "Don't worry friends. With all of us working together, we'll get something on Cana in no time!"
Lucy lifted her head and smiled at the bluenette. "Yeah, you're right! Okay, Operation: Blackmail Cana, starts now!"
-
Later that day...
"Lucy, watch it! That's the second toe you've messed up on." Cana hollered at the blonde kneeling in front of her.
Lucy sighed quietly as she put the cap back on the purple nail polish. "Sorry Cana, but it's kinda hard to paint your toenails, when you're moving around so much."
The brunette rolled her eyes and leaned back in her chair. "Whatever, just hurry it up would ya? I got things to do."
Lucy scowled angrily at Cana's feet while dipping the brush into the nail polish and resumed painting her toes. 'God, Cana's really letting the power go to her head! I mean, I thought we had bonded during the S-Class trials?' Lucy thought to herself.
Gazing over her shoulder, the card mage suddenly lifted her arm and bellowed. "Yo Natsu!"
The dragon slayer flinched at the sound of her voice, and whipped his head toward the girl, a large barrel tucked under each of his arms.
Cana pointed a finger at the Salamander while she demanded loudly. "I said stack those barrels in rows of three, not three rows of one! Fix it now, you idiot! Chop chop!"
Natsu growled furiously at Cana, smoke nearly started billowing from his ears. Cursing under his breath, he reluctantly went back to his task at hand.
Meanwhile, Gray was in the library leafing through an old book of records. "Damn, I can't find anything incriminating on Cana! Besides a few instances of public intoxication, she hasn't so much as littered!"
The ice mage sighed heavily as he closed the book in his hands and put it back on the shelf. "There has to be something about her that she doesn't want everybody knowing. Ah, this is going to be more difficult than I thought!"
After taking a last look at the wall of books before him, Gray lowered his head in defeat and ran a hand through his black hair. He began making his way out of the library, when he stumbled over a large wooden sandal and almost fell face first onto the floor. Quickly catching himself, he gritted his teeth as he gazed back at the lone shoe and then heard a gruff voice call to him. "Hey Gray!"
Turning his head, he spotted Elfman sitting on a pillow on the floor and looking at the ice mage with a curious expression. "What in the heck were you mumbling about a couple minutes ago?"
Gray furrowed his brows as he contemplated the question. Realizing that he had been thinking out loud about the whole Cana situation, Gray widened his eyes in a sudden panic. "Oh, sometimes I.. read to myself. No big deal. Anyway, what are you doing in the library Elfman?"
The burly mage then lifted his fist and announced proudly. "Reading books is freaking Manly!"
Gray arched an eyebrow and then glanced down at the book he held in his massive hands. "Um, but isn't that a children's book?"
Elfman squared his shoulders and hollered back. "What difference does that make?! A real man can read anything and still keep his masculinity in top form!"
Gray rolled his eyes. "Fine, just watch where you leave these things, ok?" He said as he kicked the sandal out of his way and made it slide over to the take-over mage.
Elfman gasped, then proceeded to shake his fist while yelling. "Don't you kick my awesome sandals, Ice boy!"
Gray shoved his hands in his pockets and started walking out of the library as the angry brute continued to holler at him. "You'll scuff 'em up with those grubby boots of yours! Hey, don't you walk away from me!"
Gray slightly twisted his lips as he thought to himself. 'Maybe I should get a camera to catch Cana doing something humiliating. I mean, she can't argue with hard evidence.'
Getting back into the main guild hall, Gray took a seat at an empty table and leaned back in the chair with a sigh. A couple moments later, he heard, "Well well, look who it is."
Came Cana's taunting voice as she walked up and took a seat on the table in front of him. Gray glared coldly at the girl who sneered down at him with wild amusement.
"Lost your clothes again?" She said in a mocking tone.
The ice mage automatically looked down and noticed he only had on his boxers. "Ah, damn it all!" He yelled in frustration.
Cana slowly shook her head, then asked with a smile. "So, where's your squeeze?"
Gray cocked an eyebrow. "My what?"
The card mage maintained her grin as she went on. "A certain sultry blue haired girl you like to fondle in supply closets."
Gray narrowed his gaze while he growled at the lewd brunette. "Knock it off would ya? And not that it's any of your business, but Juvia is hanging out with Levy."
Cana raised her brows suggestively. "Oh, so she's with Levy, huh? You sad that she's not around to help you release a little tension, hmm?"
Gray gritted his teeth as he tightly balled a fist. "Cana, why don't you just cut the shit and tell me what you want?"
Cana tsk'ed at him while shaking her head. "Someone's testy, alright then.. Since you haven't given me a straight answer to my demand, I've added a stipulation to my request."
Gray simply glared back at the brunette. "And what would that be?"
The card mage casually flung a lock of hair over her shoulder before she continued. "Starting this weekend, not only do you have to clean my apartment for a month..but now you must do it while wearing a french maid costume."
Gray instantly paled as his jaw dropped open in shock. Cana hummed to herself while admiring her nails. Snapping out of it, Gray shook his head and then scowled dangerously at Cana as he growled through clenched teeth. "Fine."
Cana giggled in excitement then swung her legs back and hopped off the table. "Excellent! Well, if you'll excuse me, I have some shopping to do! Later, Gray."
With that, she spun around and walked away from the livid ice mage.
Nearly shaking, Gray cursed the arrogant brunette intensely. 'Okay, now I have a deadline. I have to get some dirt on Cana within the next five days or...no that's not even an option for me! Operation: Blackmail Cana, just went to code red!'
And there you have it! :D
So I bet you have many questions right now. Like;
Will the gang get dirt on Cana, or will Gray be forced to wear a dress?
When is the lemon coming?
Where is Pimp Happy?
Will Gajeel ever find out about his soiled bar stool?
Keep reading to find out!
