It was a job request that had brought Gray and Juvia up into a rarely travelled area of the mountains of Fiore on one fine May morning. Since the war against Alvarez, the two of them going on missions together had become the norm. Natsu and Lucy's departure on a long term mission to find Aquarius' key had pretty much spelled the end for Gray's old team, at least until they returned, and Gray's acknowledgement that he returned Juvia's feelings has made the couple more reluctant to be apart from each other. So the two traveling together was hardly unusual these days.

What was unusual was that the pair had run into Lyon, who also had a mission in the area. When he had discovered that he was going in the same direction as they were, he'd suggested that the three of them travel together, and they'd seen no reason to refuse. Unfortunately, the only road leading in the right direction had been washed out by a recent flood, and wouldn't be fixed for at least a couple of days.

"Damn it!" Gray growled, smacking his fist into the palm of his other hand. "If we wait for them to clear the road, we won't make it in time for our job."

Juvia was poring over a map of the area, trying to find another route that would take them where they needed to go, while Lyon had wandered off to question some of the locals. After a short while, he returned, looking pleased with himself. "I have fairly good news."

Gray raised an eyebrow at him. "Oh? What did you learn?"

"I asked if the terrain between here and Pinemist was passable, and they told me it was a bit rough but not too bad. They did say the route was a bit dangerous, though."

"Did they say what the danger was, Lyon-sama?" Juvia asked, worry creasing her brow a little.

He shook his head. "I didn't really stick around and ask. But I doubt it's anything the three of us couldn't handle together."

"The three of us? You can just sit back and watch me and Juvia take care of whatever it is." Lyon rolled his eyes at Gray's cocky statement, but Juvia smiled, her confidence bolstered by Gray's faith in her.

"Or maybe you won't even get a chance to attack before I pound it into the ground. In any case, the sooner we're on our way, the better."

The two Ice-Make mages continued their good-natured arguing about who would end up destroying any enemies they encountered first as they set off towards Pinemist. The lands they passed through were mostly covered by thick woods, broken up by occasional meadows of varying sizes. Since it was spring, they all seemed to be filled to the brim with blooming wild flowers. Though their ascent was somewhat gradual, they could tell they were getting higher into the mountains as the day progressed. They stopped for a quick lunch around noon, Juvia blushing when the other two praised the taste of the meals she had packed for them.

It was late afternoon by the time they encountered a meadow wider than any of the previous ones, filled entirely with an unfamiliar flower. Deep red petals with a distinctive heart shape to them surrounded a large golden center, from which a sweet, heady scent wafted. The combined aroma of the entire field was almost intoxicating in its intensity. That scent was what drew them forward into the clearing, though their path would have taken them across it anyway.

All three of them had already stripped off their jackets in the warmth of the day, and the sunbeams that slipped over their bare skin mixed with the sweet scent around them to create a hazy cocoon. Golden motes of pollen swirled through the air from where they disturbed the flora around them, settling upon them in a thin coating of yellow. The fine dust seemed to tingle on their skin, and the more that landed upon them, the more the tingling strengthened and spread.

Eventually, a quiet voice broke the stillness around them. "Juvia… Juvia feels strange, and she doesn't trust it. Could this be the danger the villagers warned about?"

It was if her words woke Gray and Lyon from a trance cast upon them by the flowers. The two of them now eyeing their surroundings warily, Lyon spoke up. "We should leave here as quickly as possible." That Gray didn't object to his authoritative tone was a testament to how serious he thought the situation they now found themselves in was. Picking up their pace quickly, all three were soon running towards the other side of the meadow.

Bursting out of the field, they found themselves on the banks of a shallow river. After a pause to let them catch their breath, Gray suggested, "We should wash off in the water here. Our clothes, too. No telling what this pollen might actually do to us."

"Juvia will take this side of that big rock in the middle of the river. Gray-sama and Lyon-sama can take the other," she replied, nodding, before digging a spare set of clothes and some towels out of her pack. She noted Gray and Lyon following suit out of the corner of her eye as she made her way to her assigned part of the river. Setting her towels on the edge of the bank, she waded out into the water before stripping off the rest of her clothes.

As she throughly scrubbed and then wrung out her clothes before moving on to scrubbing the pollen off of herself, the tingling it had produced in her body faded, only to be replaced by a flushed warmth. It was only when that warmth started to gather and pool below her stomach that she recognized her growing desire for sexual gratification. Juvia tried to shake off an impulse to take the edge off through her own actions, but the necessity of cleaning sensitive areas made that difficult. She reminded herself that she was only separated from Gray and Lyon by a rock, and they could discover her if she indulged, in an attempt to cool her ardor. But the thought of them watching while she touched herself, which normally would have made her somewhat uneasy due to Lyon's presence, just sent another spike of lust through her.

On the other side of the rock, the two men were having a similar reaction to the pollen. Gray was doing his best to ignore his stiffening cock as he washed up. Hearing his name called in a low whisper, he turned towards Lyon, only to feel a tinge of unease at the glazed look in the other man's eyes.

"Juvia-chan… Juvia-chan is naked…" Lyon breathed out, sounding like this knowledge was some sort of divine revelation. "We could see her…"

Gray couldn't resist the vision that popped into his head of what lay on the other side of the rock: Juvia running her hands over her body to get it clean, water dripping off of her glorious curves… The sound of sloshing water drew him back out of his reverie, and he quickly realized that Lyon had started to edge his way around the barrier between them and Juvia. Shit! He knew she wouldn't want Lyon seeing her like that.

Surging forward, he wrapped his arms around Lyon's waist and dragged him back. Losing his footing as Lyon struggled against him, they fell back into the water with a loud splash. Lyon managed to slip free of his grasp, and the pair wrestled there in the river, each one trying to wrest control of their struggle from the other. Gray finally managed to pin Lyon against another rock, and he held him down as they both panted for breath, their faces mere inches apart as they stared into each other's eyes. Feeling Lyon's cool breath ghosting over his lips, he glanced down at the other man's lips, suddenly very aware of how little movement it would take for them to kiss. A thought that should've made him want to pull away, not move closer, and yet…

He wasn't sure which of them moved first - all Gray knew is that suddenly Lyon's lips were moving fiercely against his own, and that contact was something that he wanted, no, needed to satisfy the lust that was rising to consume him. Hands that were restraining or resisting started to wander over water-slick skin instead, needing to feel. Lyon ran his tongue over Gray's lower lip before nipping it, prompting Gray to open his mouth enough for Lyon to slip his tongue inside. Gray let out a low groan as his tongue pushed back against the invader, unwilling to let Lyon do as he pleased with him.

The splash they'd made when they hit the water had been easy to hear from where Juvia stood bathing, distracting her from her efforts to resist her own lustful impulses. Concerned about what could have caused such a splash, she moved to the side of the rock between the two groups and peeked at what was going on. The sight before her transfixed her - Gray and Lyon kissing while locked in a passionate embrace. Without thinking, she let her feet carry her the rest of the way around the boulder, giving her a better view of a scene that had only occurred in her imagination before.

Watching them was only inflaming her own desires further, but she couldn't make herself look away. Giving up her fight, she moved her hands to her breasts and began kneading them, lightly tracing over her nipples with her thumbs. Her ministrations sent sparks of pleasure running through her, but it wasn't enough to ease the growing ache within her. Leaving her left hand to tease one breast, she leaned back against the rock behind her to make sure her legs wouldn't give out on her as her right hand found its way between her spreading thighs. Tracing a teasing finger around the edges of her entrance, Juvia could feel how she was beginning to become slick with want before she pushed a finger in and brushed her clit with her thumb. Her gaze still fixed upon the two men rutting before her, she began grinding her hips against her hand as she made shallow thrusts with her finger. Adding a second finger made a shudder of pleasure run down her spine, and she rubbed her thumb over her clit more firmly as she plunged her fingers in and out of her center faster. A loud moan pushed its way up her throat, and she closed her eyes as she tossed her head back.

Gray and Lyon had pulled back briefly to catch their breaths when they heard a distinctly feminine moan coming from their right. Turning their heads, they spotted Juvia, half-lying on the rock that had been between them and her, fondling a breast with one hand while her other was buried in between her legs, fingers working to pleasure herself. Her head was thrown back, her eyes tightly closed. As she brought her head back down, her lust-hazed eyes were slowly opening. They snapped fully open when they met Gray and Lyon's, and she froze upon realizing they had stopped what they were doing to watch her.

After a few seconds where the three of them all just stared, the still tableau was broken by Gray levering himself up off of Lyon and striding over to where Juvia had braced herself against the rock. Gently pulling her hands away from her body, he pressed himself against her, capturing her lips for a hungry kiss. Wrapping her arms around him, she threaded one hand into his hair as she kissed back with equal fervor. His hips nestling between her thighs, he ground against her, both of them groaning into the kiss at the delicious friction this caused between her slick folds and his hardened length.

Needing more to satiate the aching need filling him, Gray bucked his hips against Juvia again, then once more. Before he could repeat the movement a third time, he felt an arm wrap around his chest as lips sought out the juncture between shoulder and neck. Having come up behind Gray, Lyon pressed his chest into Gray's back, his cock rubbing up against Gray's butt. Coaxing Gray and Juvia to put some space between their hips, Lyon ran his hands down their bodies before wrapping one hand around Gray's member while stroking Juvia's entrance with the fingers of the other.

In their lust-addled state, any objections Gray or Juvia might've had to Lyon joining them like this melted away, letting them press eagerly into his touches, caring only about how they were making them feel. Encouraged by their response, Lyon slipped a finger into Juvia's core while slowly dragging his other hand up and down Gray's length. Breaking off their kiss, Juvia let her head loll back as Gray pressed open-mouthed kisses to the newly exposed skin, and Lyon licked a trail up the side of Gray's neck. It all felt so good, sending pleasurable pulses through their bodies, but it was only making them crave reaching their release more.

As Lyon added a second finger to the one he was already thrusting in and out of Juvia, making her moan her approval, Gray started thrusting his hips in time with the stroking of Lyon's hand, searching for more stimulation. However, Lyon kept the pace of his hand measured, not willing to give Gray what he wanted yet, though he enjoyed the way the motion made Gray's ass rub against his cock. It would be too easy for Gray and Juvia to push each other over the edge without him - Lyon needed to make sure he'd be able to join them.

He withdrew his hand from Juvia's center, his fingers thickly coated with her essence, while using his grip on Gray's member to start running the head teasingly over her folds. After rubbing a fair amount of the slick fluid onto his own length, Lyon ran one coated fingertip over Gray's asshole before slowly pushing it inside. A shudder ran down Gray's spine in response to the unfamiliar stretching sensation, but it didn't distract him from trailing kisses over Juvia's collarbone down to the tops of her breasts for long. Her hair pooling around her flushed face, her sultry half-lidded eyes gazed out at him from the very image of wanton disarray, as one of her hands gripped his shoulder tightly while the other caressed the outside of Lyon's thigh.

Lyon continued to carefully press his finger deeper into Gray's ass, until he brushed a spot that made Gray choke out a gasp as unexpectedly intense pleasure jolted through his body. Lips turning up in a satisfied smirk, Lyon moved the finger he'd inserted up and down and around, loosening Gray up more before adding a second finger. As he scissored his fingers, working to stretch Gray's asshole further, Lyon watched over Gray's shoulder as Gray kneaded Juvia's breasts and tugged at her nipples, while Juvia sucked on and nipped at the other side of Gray's neck. Letting out a low groan as the sight only made him want to bury his cock inside one of the pair below him more, Lyon stretched forward enough to place a fleeting kiss upon Juvia's shoulder.

Once he was finally satisfied that Gray was ready, Lyon withdrew his fingers from Gray's ass while also releasing Gray's length and moving his hand out from between Gray and Juvia's bodies. Gray wasted little time before finally lining up his member with Juvia's entrance and thrusting it deeply into her, letting out a groan as Juvia released a pleased sigh and clutched him to her tighter. Not giving Gray a chance to start moving, Lyon gripped Gray's hip with one hand while he positioned his cock against Gray's asshole with the other. Pushing in gradually was a slow torture when all Lyon wanted to do was start pounding away, but he knew he had to give Gray time to adjust if he didn't want to hurt one or both of them. He stopped when he reached that sensitive spot inside Gray again, making the other man shudder and bite down on Juvia's shoulder to stifle a moan.

Lyon waited until Gray started to shift restlessly under him before slowly pulling back out to the tip and pushing in again. Another thrust, and Gray had acclimated enough to start moving his own hips, sliding in and out of Juvia, provoking a pleased noise from her. Soon the three of them had managed to establish a rhythm, Gray pushing his member deep into Juvia's core before pulling back, only for Lyon to enter him from behind as he did so, then pulling away from Lyon to return to Juvia.

Sweat had started to trickle down their bodies from their efforts, and the sounds of heavy breathing, groans, sighs, moans, and cries of pleasure became a backdrop to their exertions. Gray reached behind him to clutch at Lyon's hair while gripping Juvia's hip with his other hand. Juvia had one arm wrapped around Gray's back and a hand resting on Lyon's butt, while Lyon held himself up with one arm as he ran a hand up and down Gray and Juvia's sides. The pace at which the three of them moved together increased as they gradually let the aching need within them have free rein. Juvia raised her legs up, wrapping them loosely around the waists of the men above her, the shift in angle letting Gray drive deeper into her.

All tangled up with each other, they shared a single-minded determination to achieve orgasm. Hips thrust against each other faster and faster, while hands stroked or gripped and lips brushed against or sucked on whatever they could reach. Heads were tossed back with a cry or a gasp when a thrust hit a particularly sweet spot, only to be brought back down so that lips or neck or shoulder could be captured once more. Pleasure was passed from one to the others and back again, drowning out thought of anything else, making tension coil tighter and tighter within them, edging them closer to the breaking point that would release the flood.

As they grew close to their peaks, their movements fell out of rhythm with each other, as they became lost in frenzied efforts to finally reach it. Lyon reached around Gray to start rubbing tight circles over Juvia's clit, causing her to release a loud, high-pitched cry as she arched off of the rock beneath her. Clutching at Gray and Lyon's backs, she raked her fingernails down them, leaving matching lines of pink on each of them. The addition of Lyon's stroking fingers to the way Gray was thrusting into her, each stroke rapid but reaching deep into her core, left her teetering on the edge. A thrust drove into her at just the right angle, and she finally came apart at the seams, her release coming on fierce and overwhelming.

The way she shuddered beneath him as the walls of her center clutched tightly around him was enough for Gray to follow her, sinking himself in deep as he released into her in a hot flood. Lyon redoubled his efforts as the pair below him shook and then became still. Soon enough, he reached his own climax with a hoarse groan, burying his cock in Gray's ass as he spilled his seed. Only the sounds of the river water and panting were heard as they let the blissful pleasure filling them ebb away.

As they came back to themselves, the relentless lust that had filled them having been washed away as well, the three of them began to realize just what they had allowed themselves to do. Pulling himself out of Gray and making his way to his feet, Lyon turned away as Gray and Juvia disentangled themselves from each other. A tense silence filled the air as they all quickly finished washing up, none of them looking at each other. Once they had returned to their baggage, Lyon broke the silence long enough to propose that they camp there for the night, which the other two quickly agreed to.

It was only after they had gotten dressed and were eating dinner that Gray finally breached the silence hanging over all of them. "…We clearly weren't in our right minds, those flowers must've done something to us. So… we should just forget that that ever happened."

Juvia simply nodded, while Lyon raised an eyebrow and asked, "Forget about what?"

"Exactly," Gray replied, while Juvia smothered an amused little smile, though her amusement faded quickly when she remembered their true situation.

Forgetting was easier said than done, and despite turning in early none of them were well-rested by the time morning came. After packing up, it only took them a few more hours to reach Pinemist. The journey was quiet, though not quite as tense as the evening before. Still, there was a palpable sense of relief when Gray and Juvia parted ways with Lyon at the edge of town, since their mission came from this town but Lyon's was in a different one that could only be reached using a nearby pass through the mountains.

After consulting the mission flyer, Gray and Juvia stopped one of the townspeople to ask about the requester's whereabouts. Once they'd gotten the information they needed, Gray paused for a moment, then asked, "On our way to here overland, we ran into a meadow filled with flowers we'd never seen before, with heart-shaped petals…"

The man he was talking to nodded. "They're called Golden Kisses. Their pollen's a potent aphrodisiac - anyone who breathes in too much of it is filled with lust. We probably would've tried to root them out by now if selling it didn't bring in money to this little town - it's apparently a valuable magical ingredient or something. You two didn't get caught up by them, did you?"

Gray coughed uncomfortably, his cheeks feeling a little warm, and both he and Juvia looked away from the man. "No, we went around, since neither of us were familiar with it."

"Good thing that you did," the man replied, though Gray had a feeling that he didn't fully believe them, not that it mattered. As they took their leave, Gray did his best to push the incident from his mind. He and Juvia had a mission to focus on, after all.
