The Dragon and The Bookworm

Chapter 5

A tall woman with long, bright red hair, not dissimilar to Erza's, walked onto the stage with her head held high. Gajeel could almost feel the air of dominance that surrounded her. The Huntress was wearing a strappy, brown leather bodysuit with matching heels that made her height even more intimidating. A timid looking woman, who was significantly shorter, walked out after her with spiky, short white hair and freckles coating her entire body. Fawn was wearing very little, only two pieces of beige fabric, tied loosely at the sides, covered her breasts and sex from the audience.

They both approached the metal table, "Up," the Huntress' powerful voice rang across the club, the whole audience was silent. Fawn slowly got onto the table, as if any sudden movement would result in a punishment, and as far as Gajeel knew it just might. Once she was on the table, only Gajeel could hear Huntress mutter a soft 'good' under her breath. The Huntress reached for the cloth on the metal tray and pulled, revealing all the instruments she had to play with. On the tray Gajeel could see bright red ropes, a black blind fold, a couple bullet vibrators, and as Ginger had said, feathers and a bucket of ice.

First, she grabbed the ropes and made quick work of tying Fawn's wrists and ankles to the legs of the table. Then, she grabbed the blindfold, she paused for a moment staring into Fawn's eyes, they seemed to be having a silent conversation, before securing the blindfold around Fawn's eyes.

Gajeel could see that they had a very strong connection by the way they acted together, the amount of trust and care they showed with one another was amazing. 'Imagine if that was Levy... laying there, all tied up, just waiting for you to touch her.' The inner voice Gajeel had been fighting all night made a reappearance.

Huntress grabbed an ice cube and dragged it across Fawn's shoulders. Gajeel could hear her breath hitch as the she felt the ice be dragged across her skin, 'Just think of Levy squirming around as you tease her.' Gajeel's breathing became slightly heavier as he became lost in the fantasy. Huntress continued to drag the ice across Fawn's skin before leaving one cube sitting in her bellybutton. She moved on to the feathers moving up and down her body, clearly enjoying the way the sensations she was inflicting on the freckled woman was making her squirm.

Movement beside him broke Gajeel out of his thoughts. Levy had begun to breath heavy and squirm in her chair. If the slight smell of her arousal wasn't enough for him to tell that this was turning her on then the flushing of her cheeks definitely was. As if she could sense his eyes on her Levy glanced up at him and he could clearly see the pure want in her eyes. Gajeel couldn't contain the growl that rose up in his throat. She shivered and the smell of Levy's arousal became even more intense. 'See! She likes it when you growl. She totally wants you.' Gajeel threw that thought out the window, they where watching a fucking BDSM show, of course Levy would be getting aroused. He was once again thrown out of his own head when he heard Levy clear her throat.

'Come on Levy you can do this now is your chance. You're never going to get him as a dom without making an effort. He growled when he looked at you, if that's not an obvious sigh of arousal then I don't know what is. Just start out with subtle hints.' Levy worked up her courage before clearing her throat and speaking, "The Huntress may seem really mean, but she is actually a really nice woman." Levy started and took a deep breath, " She actually gave me some tips when I started coming here." She glanced up at Gajeel.

"Oh..." He said.

"Yeah..." 'Okay maybe a bit too subtle, Levy,' "She showed me some ways of rope tying. She said that because I was a beginner she wanted to make sure that I didn't get tied up in any way that could damage me." Levy let out a breath she seemed to be holding. 'There... now he knows you like being tied up.'

"That's good," Gajeel seemed to have lost the majority of his vocabulary, but Levy could seem his pupils dilate more and more as she continued.

"It was nice of her to help me out like that. She even gave me a few books about sensory play and the different spots on the body that are really sensitive." Levy emphasized trying her hardest to be flirty. She knew she had gotten her point across when she her yet another of Gajeel's sinful growls.

Gajeel's brain was going haywire, he had no clue that Levy could speak like that. She sounded... he couldn't even describe it, it was beyond the word sexy. 'Had she meant to sound like that? Was she flirting? No... she wouldn't flirt with me. Why the hell would she want me?' But, as Gajeel continued to beat himself with insults, he could have sworn that he saw a knowing smirk flash across Levy's face.

At the end of the night they met up with Isabel for Levy to get her coat, Gajeel was sad to see the view be hidden yet again, and to talk about who they had ruled out as suspects; Ginger, Huntress, Fawn, and Issac, all of which Isabel agreed would most likely not be the thief. They slowly made their way home side by side. Levy had said she could walk back to her apartment by herself as his cottage was in the woods on the other side of town, but Gajeel had insisted that he accompany her on the walk. Once they made it to the apartment building, awkward silence ensued for a few moments before Levy broke it. "Thank you for walking me home, even though I would have been fine on my own," She pouted and gave him a playful glare.

"Ya' probably would have been," Gajeel chuckled, "But, i'll sleep better knowing ya' got home alright, Shrimp."

Levy blushed, 'How sweet!' she thought. Hesitating for a moment, she glanced up at him, before grabbing his shirt and pulling him down for, what she intended to be a quick peck on the cheek, but, she missed his cheek and got him smack dab on the lips. Pulling away Levy ran into the apartment with heat filling her cheeks.

As Levy slammed the door behind her she slid to the floor with her hands covering her face. 'Why did I do that?!'

Little did she know, her accidental kiss had just blown Gajeel's mind, and he was currently walking home with a hand on his lips, the kiss playing in his head over and over.

Thank you so much for the supporting comments. They help my writing tremendously. I pull the comments up behind my writing and it just gives me that push I need to continue writing.

I will be starting school next week, so updates are going to be even slower than before, and I apologize for that. Also, since we are getting into the more spicy stuff ;) A disclaimer that, while I have read a lot of fan-fiction with smut, this is my first time writing it and I have zero life experience, so please keep that in mind while reading. 3

Special thanks to Dragonfly and Olendra, your comments soothed my mind and filled me with so much determination (Under-tale reference!).

P.S.- There's the kiss for ro-blaze.
