Chapter 4- The Ice-cream

The ice-cream parlour was adorable, so much so that even Gray had to admit it. It was small and a tad cramped, but that just seemed to add to its character. Juvia practically manhandled him into the shop and moved him into a booth in the back; she was desperate to get some ice-cream into him, believing it would cure him of his grumpy mood.

She slid into the booth so that she was across from him, then she cupped her face and rested her elbows on the pristine table, staring at him eagerly.

"What does Gray-sama want?" she asked with barely contained excitement.

Beneath the table, Gray's hands fisted and his cock twitched in response, telling him exactly what he wanted. He shifted uncomfortably and coughed, surprised by his own reaction to her innocent question.

A cute young waitress skipped over then and asked what they were going to have, Juvia asked for a chocolate and blueberry sundae and, because he was rapidly losing the ability speak, Gray grunted that he would have the same. He then noticed that the blue haired woman across from him was pinching the skin on the back of her hand.

He frowned, "Why are you doing that?"

She shrugged delicately, "Juvia is making sure that she is not dreaming."

It was a simple statement and yet it rocked Gray down to his core. His mind struggled with his increasingly sexual thoughts.

Being here with me is…what, a dream come true for her? Well I'm starting to think I'm gonna be having some new dreams of my own, I wonder if she'll repay the favour…Damn it, Gray! Stop it!

His boxers and pants seemed to be shrinking, constricting him with delicious pain but really, his clothes weren't getting smaller, something else was getting bigger. He forced himself to take a deep breath; he closed his eyes for a moment and concentrated on calming down. When he opened his eyes again, Juvia was sitting up, straining to watch the little waitress who was moving back over to their booth.

Gray found his eyes sweeping along her arched neck and following the line lower, reaching the hint of cleavage that teased him. And just like that, his body grew hard again and he suppressed a groan and the urge to smack his head on the table.

Why? He complained inwardly, why am I all of a sudden finding her so attractive?

His forehead creased as he supposed that it wasn't really 'all of a sudden', Juvia was a beautiful woman, without a doubt, just one that he had only allowed himself to look at out the corner of his eyes. He had had a feeling that if he ever let himself truly look at her and see her, then…well, this would happen. He squirmed slightly, looking down and wincing at the obvious bulge in his pants.

Then there was the fact that he was a bit intimidated by her and the strength of her feelings. He rubbed his eyes tiredly; still unable to comprehend why Juvia felt so strongly for him, what had he ever done to deserve it?

The sound of heavy glassware being placed on the table brought him back from his thoughts. He glanced up, feeling his thighs spasm at the expression on Juvia's face as she stared at the elaborate dessert. Her eyes were wide and focused wholly on the ice-cream and her mouth was open slightly. Then, she licked her lips.

A strangled groan escaped Gray and caused his own eyes to grow wide. Had he really just made that sound?

The fact that Juvia's eyes snapped up to his face, confirmed that he had indeed. She tilted her head to the side, watching him curiously. He was instantly reminded of his earlier…fantasy in which he was her pet.

She bit her lip and picked up the teaspoon that had been given alongside the sundae; she then mentally shrugged away his sound as being one of appreciation for his own dessert.

Gray could feel his temperature rising and wasn't at all surprised when he found that his hands were starting to unbutton his shirt. He scowled and dropped his hands, then he sat forward slightly and grasped his teaspoon, growing determined to keep his thoughts pure for the rest of the day.

Juvia, content with just having Gray so close, scooped up a spoonful of chocolate ice-cream and popped it into her mouth. Gray dropped his spoon as a happy moan sounded from the water mage. He swallowed hard; this is going to be a lot more difficult than I thought…

"Are you going to try it Gray-sama?" Juvia asked him suddenly, causing him to realise he must look pretty stupid just sitting there without eating any of what was placed before him. He nodded stiffly at her and again plucked up his teaspoon before chasing a blueberry around his glass with it.

Juvia hid her smile as he grew frustrated and used his fingers to put a berry on his spoon. She readied another mouthful of delicious, sweet ice-cream, making sure to get some chocolate sauce and a blueberry on her utensil as well and then she stared longingly at it, savouring the moment.

"You really like ice-cream, don't you?" Gray said, trying to make conversation.

"Mmhmm," she answered dreamily as she closed her eyes and slipped the spoonful between her lips, moaning at the taste.

Gray's eyes fixed on her mouth, unblinking; he didn't want to miss a second of the sight before him. She pulled the spoon out a little bit and licked its underside. Pulsing heat rushed through him, making his skin feel tighter and causing his cock to throb mercilessly.

Juvia sucked the spoon for a little longer and then pulled it out with a slight pop, her eyes opening at the same time and going immediately to the massive sundae in front of her. Gray quickly forced his eyes away from her mouth and found himself also looking at her dessert.

Oh shit, he mentally groaned, I'm not going to survive this.

Juvia, oblivious to the ice mage's discomfort because he managed just in time to smooth out his features, loaded up her spoon again and stared at him.

"Gray-sama," she said somewhat shyly, "You're not eating…"

He blinked, shit man, pull yourself together, this is just Juvia, calm down.

"Does Gray-sama…" she trailed off and blushed, avoiding his gaze as she finished, "Does Gray-sama need Juvia to feed him? To get him started?"

The fist he still had under the table clenched tighter and he resisted the urge to nod emphatically at her question. She took his silence as a yes and leaned forward, extending her arm a bit and holding her spoon close to his mouth.

His body was lanced by another wave of heat. He didn't know where he wanted to look the most, at her eyes, her mouth or at her deepening cleavage. He squeezed his eyes shut instead and opened his mouth, allowing her to insert the mouthful. It was cold, sweet and not at all what he wanted to taste at that moment.

I wonder what she tastes like…No! Stop it Gray!

He opened his eyes again and watched her settle back into her seat, she seemed rather pleased with herself and a spark of suspicion travelled through him. Were all these…thoughts and desires her doing? Had she slipped him something that would make him burn with need for her?

He narrowed his eyes, he wouldn't put it past her to do something like that and in fact, her 'do whatever it takes to get what you want' attitude was something he had always admired about her.

He stabbed his ice-cream with his spoon as he watched her carefully, searching for any sign of deceit. It didn't take him long to come to the conclusion that she was completely innocent.

"G-gray-sama?" she enquired hesitantly as she paused in her slow demolition of her sundae.

"What?" he responded grumpily, his eyes still trained greedily on her face.

"Uh…J-juvia was wondering w-why Gray-sama is staring at her, is Juvia being too noisy?"

Her cheeks were coloured by embarrassment and he mentally groaned as her question brought to mind one of his own, is Juvia so vocal…in all areas? He sighed heavily and realised he still needed to answer her.

His face turned pink as well as he said, "Nah, you're fine, you can be as loud as want."

She beamed brightly and seemed to gain stars in her eyes for a moment before she collected herself and continued devouring her sundae.

So she didn't slip me anything, he decided, then he grimaced, that means all these perverted thoughts are my own…

He aggressively shovelled ice-cream into his mouth, hoping its coolness would bring his temperature down but doubting that would be the case.

As Juvia ran her tongue along her spoon and caused Gray to jerk slightly in his seat, he grew curious about just how innocent her actions were. Did she know how suggestive she was being? Did she know that every time she touched her tongue to the hard metal, he could almost feel it on something hard of his own?

After a torturous length of time, they finished their ice-cream. He decided as they paid and exited the shop, that he didn't want to be the only one being scorched by the desire pumping through his veins. Juvia was attracted to him, right? That would explain why she always seemed so lost whenever he was half naked.

Hmm…

He felt a wicked grin spread on his face. Revenge was going to be sweeter than the ice-cream they had just eaten.
