EREN POV
I could feel it, that familiar churn in my stomach. My jaw clenched and unclenched. I let out a ragged breath as the hot liquid filled the condom. I pushed a shaky hand through my hair as I quickly pulled out and threw the soiled rubber on the ground, disgust burned my cheeks. Without speaking or even looking towards the stranger on the bed, I threw on my clothes hastily and left. I hated this. I raked my hand down my face. My legs pushed harder, trying to get the hell out of this place. The icy wind whipped at my face and calmed my pounding heart. I pulled a cigarette from my pocket, lit it, and took a long drag. My nerves calmed down almost instantly.
"Eren."
I jumped at the voice coming from behind me. My eyes wandered to his tired face. "Hey, Levi." The man reached out towards me. I grinned and handed over my cigarette. "Long night?"
"Always." His lips pressed around the cigarette and then released. White smoke swirled in the air between us. "What about you? You look pretty rough."
I closed my eyes and tilted my head back. "Just the usual." Levi was my boss, my boss that didn't pry into things but was there when any of us needed him to be. He wasn't like a good friend or anything, but I did consider him someone I could trust and count on in certain situations. He was also a man that slept around as much as I did. I'm sure we've both slept with many of the same women. I inhaled deeply and opened my eyes. I could see my breath in the crisp air as I exhaled slowly.
"I have a question."
I glanced sideways at the man. I felt warmth pool in my cheeks as his steel eyes met mine. "Yeah?"
He lifted an eyebrow and smirked. "It's not a bad question." Levi pressed his hand against his mouth to muffle his laugh. "How do you wear those pants?"
"What?" My eyes widened at the absurd question. I looked down and pinched the black denim between my fingers. "I don't know what you mean."
His laughter grew. "They're so tight."
My face became hot and my eyes swung to him. "Speak for yourself. Your pants are even tighter." I eyed the leather clinging to his thighs.
Levi watched me carefully before speaking. "Do you like it?"
I froze. What the hell do I say to that? "I don't know." I turned away from him as my face burned even hotter. "I should head home. It's pretty late."
"Yeah, yeah." Levi waved a hand in the air. "See you at work tomorrow. Don't forget to pack your bags."
I sighed and shuffled forward. The sound of my boots hitting the sidewalk blended in with the drunken laughter spilling from the bars surrounding me. My pace picked up as my apartment came into view. I bounded up the stairs and rushed inside. The heat curled around me. I kicked off my boots and shrugged out of my coat. The shower washed away any trace of perfume, but just to be sure, I scrubbed until my skin was an angry and stinging. I hastily dried and jumped into bed without bothering to put on anything.
Even though I just had sex, I still felt frustrated. I clenched my teeth and tried to push out the thought. My body wouldn't relax no matter what. My skin felt tight and my mind foggy. Maybe this business trip can act as a vacation. I groaned and turned over, pushing my face into my pillow and praying for the sun to hurry up.
Levi POV
"Levi, I am soooo sorry. I didn't realize. I thought it was just you going on the business trip." Hanji's voice didn't sound upset or concerned at all.
"Are you kidding me? How could you fuck up? You literally had one fucking job." I could feel the anger rush through me in large waves. I needed to calm down before I fire my secretary. I sighed. "No use in crying over spilt milk I guess." I pinched the bridge of my nose and breathed in. This is going to be awful. "Okay, Hanji, don't slip up again." I hung up the phone and headed towards the check in desk.
"Hello, sir, how may I help you?"
I cringed at the girl's shrill voice. "Do you have any rooms with two beds or even an extra room? My secretary screwed up and booked a one room with one bed." I could feel the heat rise once more as I thought of the infuriating woman.
"My apologies sir, we seem to be completely booked." She slid over two room keys. "If there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to ask. Have a wonderful stay." The woman smiled brightly.
I grunted and walked towards the man waiting on me. Might as well break the bad news quickly. "Oi, Yeager." Green eyes met mine. "Umm, Hanji fucked up. We're going to have to share a room."
Eren chuckled. "Sounds about right. That'll be fine I guess."
I shook my head. "The room we're sharing has one bed."
I could see something flash in his emerald eyes, but the emotion disappeared before I could catch onto it. He silently nodded and stood. I backed away so he wasn't towering over me. I clenched my teeth in frustration and headed for the elevator. We rode in silence up to the top floor. Thirty-two floors later the elevator stuttered to a stop and opened. I walked to the end of the hall where our room awaited. A sigh escaped my lips as I pushed open and revealed the large bed draped with white. Eren passed by me and sat down on the mattress and leaned back on his elbows.
"I guess it could be worse." He grinned and glanced at me.
I snorted. "How so?"
The brunette looked at me with a serious expression. "The bed could be smaller."
I couldn't help but chuckle. "Yeah, I suppose that would be worse." I dragged my feet over and plopped down next to Eren. "Well, after that long flight, I'm pretty beat."
"Yeah."
I could see Eren's fists clench against the covers. My eyes wandered up to his face. He wasn't looking at me though. He was staring up at the ceiling. "You okay?"
Green eyes snapped towards me. My heart beat quickened. "I'm fine." He pulled his bottom lip between his teeth as he stared back up at the ceiling. "I'm tired, yet restless. It's like this every night. I hope it won't bother you…" He gazed at me from the corner of his eyes as he spoke. "Maybe I will go out for a little while."
"No, it won't bother me. Honest. Go ahead and rest up. I'm the same." I forced myself to stop staring at him and dug through my suitcase, pulling out my night shirt and pants. I rushed to the bathroom and shut the door behind me. I glanced down to see my hands trembling. Why? I clenched my fists and squeezed my eyes shut. This is going to be a long night. Hell, this is going to be a long week.
Once I was dressed, I walked out of the bathroom. Eren was wearing gym shorts, a necklace, and nothing else. I felt my face flush as our eyes met.
"Sorry, I usually sleep naked." I could see his cheeks become red too.
"It's cool." I climbed in next to him and covered myself. Eren reached beside him and turned the light off. I held my breath as we lay in the dark. I could hear Eren's deep, even breathing mixed with my hammering heart. I let out a shaky breath.
"Good night." His low voice made my heart pound harder.
"Night." We rolled over at the same time. His breath mingled with mine and fanned over my face. I gulped and squeezed my eyes shut. I didn't want to turn back over and make it obvious that I'm becoming affected. Why is this getting to me?
Eren POV
His sweet breath fanned over my face and I breathed in deeply. I could feel my body heating up.- I need to calm the fuck down. I heaved in a deep breath and let it go. I need to calm down. I forced my lungs to do deep and even breaths so I could hopefully calm down. I bit down on my lip as another wave of Levi's hot air blew against my heated skin. I could taste the blood on my tongue as I bit back a groan.
My eyes slowly became adjusted to the darkness and I cursed silently as the moon spilled over us. Our eyes interlocked. My body began moving. I couldn't think. Eyes locked, I shifted on top of Levi. I grabbed his hands in mine and pinned him underneath me. My head rushed with blood and sweat beaded on my temples. His eyes were wide with surprise, then slowly became half-lidded and misted over with arousal. I leaned in, hungry for his lips. He leaned up to meet me halfway. Our lips were a breath away…
We jumped at the sound of ringing. I rolled off of him quickly and turned over as he answered the phone with a breathy voice.
"What Hanji?" I grinned at the annoyance in his tone.
After bickering back and forth, he hung up and slammed his phone down on the night stand. "What did she say?"
Levi grunted. "Just asking if things were fine." He muttered under his breath, "I swear I would fire her if she hadn't been with us so long."
I smiled in the dark and turned over, facing away from him. No more pinning my boss down. I need to get a better hold over myself. I sighed. "Good night, again."
There was a long pause. "Yeah… Night." I felt his weight shift and then settle. Looks like he's making sure there's no more fuck ups too.
