ANNOUNCEMENT: THE USB KEY WITH ALL MY STORY CHAPTERS WAS ACCIDENTALLY PULLED OUT BEFORE IT COULD BE EJECTED PROPERLY AND ALL MY CHAPTERS WERE DELETED. IF ANY OF YOU KNOW HOW I CAN GET THEM BACK PLEASE LET ME KNOW VIA PM. OTHERWISE PLEASE UNDERSTAND IT IS GOING TO TAKE ME TIME TO REWRITE THE 6 CHAPTERS I HAD ALREADY WRITTEN. I'M SORRY BUT PLEASE BARE WITH ME ON THIS ONE.
AN: Alright one thing I have hated about other fanfictions is the zero concept of time and care when it comes to getting a tattoo. I am not of course speaking about those that used the weird pad things from the movie. For those of you who don't know anything about tattoos know this: They take time to do, they're done using two or more needles (Outline and filler) they have to be padded for the night after you get it and then washed once with soap. After that you use non-scented/unperfumed lotion on it after. Personally I hated the lotion the most out of the process cause it burns like fucking iodine.
Also I may have lied. Due to the amount of fabulous sexy content I wanted to put in this chapter Carmine will not be making an appearance. But I hope you can forgive that because it was sacrificed for the good of mounting sexual tension.
READ THIS SO YOU UNDERSTAND THE SETTING OF THE STORY! IT WILL HELP YOU IN THE LONG RUN!
I did not like the whole 'Social Experiment' twist in the story so I am eliminating that and instead using the idea that this is a post War Society.
I am using the movie version of Eric because he was SOOOOOO hot.
This story takes place the year after Four and Eric initiated and the year before Tris.
Most of the characters will stay in cannon however some may shift slightly as I write deeper into their personalities and as I morph the story.
Anything written in italics signifies thinking.
Now I know that a lot of people now simply add stories to their alerts of favourites, but I am an old school fanfic user and writer and I WANT FEEDBACK! REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
Enjoy!
Chapter Ten:
Giving Pleasure through Pain
Chimera groaned refusing to let her body wake up as she tried to ignore the insistent banging on the door the following morning.
"FLEX WAKE THE FUCK UP!"
Chimera and Flex both shot up wide-awake in pure terror. It was Eric banging on the door.
"GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED! HECTOR NEEDS TO TALK TO YOU." Eric barked from the other side of the door.
"Uh…no he doesn't!" Flex shouted back quickly. Chimera gave Flex a look clearly telling him how lame of a reply that had been. He waved his hand around signalling that he didn't think she could do any better.
"FLEX!" Eric shouted banging even harder. Chimera swatted at Flex's hands as he tried to grab her from the bed and shove her underneath it. There was no way in hell she was going under the bed. She may never be seen again if she did.
"Flex whatever skank you have in there can wait until later." Eric snapped. Flex saw Chimera about to shout at the door so he threw his body off the bed and slapped a hand over her mouth. She glared at him but resisted the urge to bite his hand.
"I'll meet him in his office in twenty minutes you shit head!" Flex shouted back.
"Oh twenty minutes. She should feel real special now." Eric smirked hoping he would have at least caused Flex to get slapped. He banged on the door once for good measure before walking away heading back towards his own apartment.
"Why are you even friends with him?" Chimera questioned after Flex had removed his hand.
"That is a very complicated answer." Flex replied standing up.
"Do I have to cover my face again?" Chimera asked getting up and following Flex to the door.
"Let me make sure he isn't still out there first. Otherwise you might just be stuck here." Flex warned bracing his side against the door as he opened it the tiniest bit. He wouldn't put it past Eric to force his way into his place. After nothing happened he opened it wide enough so he could stick his head out.
"Coast is clear." Flex announced opening the door completely. Chimera flipped up her hood as she walked out the door. She said a quick thanks to Flex before darting down the hall.
Eric stomped around his apartment wondering just what the hell he could do to fix his problem with Chimera. He'd gone to his office in the middle of the night thinking he would find her there only to find it empty. Not caring if he woke them up Eric had also gone down to the dorms to see if she was there only to come up empty again. He'd slammed the door to the dorm behind him startling all of the initiates when he left.
She hadn't been in the dorm or in his office. That meant she'd slept somewhere else. She was a decently liked person so there were a lot of people she could have asked to crash with. Four being the main one and that burned him on a deeply personal level. Obviously she was still absolutely pissed with him and he had to fix that immediately.
His biggest concern was that there was only a short time left before she became a member. There was a lot of damage that could be done to his chances if she stayed mad at him while hanging out with Greg. Frustrated he paced in front of the fireplace. How could he get her to think about him positively when he couldn't even touch her? If he could touch there would be nothing but positive, heated things for her to think about.
As he paced by his bookshelf for the tenth time something caught his eye and he picked it up. This could definitely be a possibility. Something like this was dependant on a lot of things he didn't know about Chimera but if it paid off the reward would be huge. He knew she would be busy in the fear landscape room for at least the next few hours so he had just enough time to execute his plan.
"Alright initiates in just under two weeks you'll be coming up here to this room for stage three." Lauren explained as she guided them into dark room that had the word 'Dauntless' sprayed painted on the wall. They had walked over the glass ceiling floor that Chimera was already familiar with to get there. As they had walked over the glass panels she had momentarily considered shoving Amber towards where the missing panel was.
"However the next time you see this room it will look nothing like it does now." Four continued guiding them back out of the room. "Using all the information the computer has gathered during your sims the computer is going to generate a landscape containing all your fears."
"That means that for stage three you will be brought into this room and have to go through your fear landscape. You will be judged on how well you handle the fears but most importantly and heavily weighed is the time it takes you to get through all of them." Lauren explained.
"Why don't we just do it in the sim room?" Rory asked. Four glared at him harshly. Chimera had learned many things about Four and one of them was that he HATED when people interrupted.
"If you shut up we can probably answer all your questions before you have to ask them." Four snapped causing Rory to shrink back behind Anthony. Most of the initiates were intimidated by Four, unlike Eric who most were terrified of.
"Anyways the difference is that you will be aware that it's a simulation in the landscape so the evaluation team can assess your combined mental and physical capabilities." Lauren explained.
"Evaluation team?" Carson asked earning her own glare from Four.
"All five leaders will be hooked up to the computer watching you go through your landscapes like I have been doing." Four explained his patience thin. A few of the initiates looked fearful and Chimera wondered if it was because a few of them had Eric in one of their sims.
"If that's all Lauren is going to be taking you into her landscape to give you a feel for what it's like. Again the next time you see this room will be on your evaluation day." Four explained moving to the side. Chimera tuned out as Lauren listed off her various fears and started assigning random ones to everyone.
"Chimera, getting thrown out of Dauntless. And you're up first." Lauren pointed. Chimera wanted to laugh knowing she was in no way scared of being thrown out of Dauntless. If that happened she could surely survive and there were much worse things that could happen to her. This could actually be fun considering it didn't scare her in the least.
Chimera entered the room with Lauren after Four injected them. About 20 minutes later Lauren burst through the door scarring the initiates and causing Four to look over in question. He quickly injected Lucas before moving to the door.
"You're insane." Lauren panted over her shoulder into the landscape room. Chimera trotted out behind her grinning.
"Can't you program that thing to be like I don't know a petting zoo or dance party?" Chimera grinned at Four. He just rolled his eyes.
"Lucas you're up." Lauren called. She sent Chimera a bewildered look before closing the door behind Lucas after he entered.
"What did you do?" Four demanded.
"Well I started by calling everyone names, then I ran around making monkey sounds and to finish it off bent over and told them to kiss my Chasm." Chimera grinned like a child who just got away with something extremely naughty.
"Do NOT do that on evaluation day." Four told her firmly.
"I promise." Chimera drawled. She went over and joined the rest of the initiates as each of them was called into the landscape room one after the other. They finished the whole rotation just before lunch and began making there way down to the dining hall as a group.
"Four was that supposed to be different then what we did a few nights ago?" Chimera whispered careful that no one around them heard.
"Normally people aren't aware that they're in a simulation so the landscape is different. It will work in your favour because your advantages won't stand out as much. Unless you pull out and vomit." Four whispered.
"I'm a girl, not my job to pull out." Chimera smirked.
"I didn't hear that." Four snapped blushing.
"Your blush says otherwise." Chimera teased as they entered the dining hall together. "Mind if I sit with you?" Chimera asked gesturing to the table Four was heading to.
"Don't you normally sit with Lucas and his brother's friends?" Four asked.
"Yeah but then I run the risk of Eric joining us and I'm not sure how long I could resist the urge to stab him if he did." Chimera shrugged.
"Take a seat." Four laughed gesturing to the seat beside him. His presence wouldn't stop Eric from sitting with them but at least he would have a front row seat for the show if Eric did. However a few minutes later that possibility disappeared as Four's friends joined them at the table taking up all the surrounding seats.
"Chimera this is Zeke, Lauren, Shauna, and Gabe." Four introduced. "Lauren you just met and she was training the Dauntless born during stage one."
"I remember. Nice to meet all of you." Chimera smiled digging into her lunch.
"Like wise." Zeke replied smiling.
"I wanna fight you." Shauna announced causing the whole table to look at her stunned. "What?" She demanded.
"That is not how you ask someone to spar." Zeke told her. Four let out a laugh as Chimera sat there uncomfortably.
"That's how I ask." Shauna shot back then looked over at Chimera expectantly. "Well?"
"Uhh…" Chimera looked around wondering if this was normal. "After initiation is done sure."
"Awesome. Heard you have a mean arm bar." Shauna grinned bouncing in seat excitedly.
"That she does." Four agreed as conversation then turned to their own initiation experience and matches. Chimera was enjoying herself when she noticed the room quiet down slightly. That could only mean one thing.
Eric walked into the dining hall always enjoying the way his presence was met with silence and discomfort. It meant people noticed when he walked into a room. Looking around the room as he walked he stopped when his eyes met Chimera's icy stare.
Chimera hated how confident and unaffected Eric looked right now. Obviously he hadn't taken what she said as truth or he would have been in a bad mood. She wanted to remind him that though he had the control in Dauntless she had all the power when it came to her. Slowly she dragged her eyes down his body and back up. She raised a dismissive eyebrow and snorted before turning back to Lauren who was telling a story.
Eric's mouth almost dropped open in shock. Chimera had not just eye fucked him and then acted like he didn't measure up. It enraged him more then if she had just walked right up to him and slapped him where he was standing. He stormed over to the table Tony was sitting at and took a seat.
Chimera had to resist actually patting herself on the back for what she had just done to Eric. And judging by the loud slamming of a plate from Eric's general direction it had worked.
"So can we see it?" Shauna asked loudly. Chimera snapped out of her thoughts when she realized the question had been directed at her.
"See what?" Chimera asked biting into her apple.
"The scar stupid." Shauna replied rolling her eyes. Chimera's whole body froze. She still had the stitches in and no one had seen the wound other then Leena and Katie. She hadn't thought about her scar or that night in at least a month and even then the thoughts were only fleeting. To her the scar represented her failure in combat and showing it off was only reminding everyone that someone ranked so far below her had managed to hurt her badly.
"Some other time." Chimera said quickly rising from the table and almost running out of the dining hall.
"Nice going Shauna." Zeke snapped. Shauna gave him a confused look not understanding. Looking around she saw everyone else giving her the same pissed off look.
"What?" She demanded. Four got up from the table and left. His shift in the Control room started in five minutes anyway.
Chimera rushed through the Pit and up to the Dauntless clothing store. There were a few members milling about looking at things but Chimera didn't care. Looking over she spotted Katie filing her nails behind the counter.
"Hey." Chimera greeted walking up to her. They really hadn't spoken about the whole being related thing since Chimera had found out and then been stabbed right after.
"Well hey there stranger. How's the gut?" Katie greeted her with a smile. The smile fell when she saw Chimera shift uncomfortably.
"Hey bitches shops closed for the next hour!" Katie shouted to the people in the store. A few grumbled disagreement but none outwardly challenged Katie. Probably the best idea since she had access to all their points.
"Thanks." Chimera whispered as Katie walked past her to flip over the closed sign on the door before sliding it shut and bolting it.
"So what's up? Remember eyes everywhere." Katie whispered back referring to the cameras.
"Oh I know. I was just hoping to get my stitches taken out." Chimera shrugged. Katie smiled softly knowing Chimera had sought her out to talk using the stitches as a plausible excuse.
"Lay your ass down on the counter and I'll get my nail scissors." Katie winked. Chimera smiled before climbing up onto the store counter and lying down. Katie dug around behind the counter before standing up holding a tiny pair of scissors in her hands.
"What's rattling around in that head of yours?" Katie asked smiling.
"Did you know about me?" Chimera ventured trying to keep her question as vague as possible. It was something she had wanted to know since she first found out Katie was her aunt.
"Of course." Katie smirked pulling up Chimera's shirt to exposed the stitches.
"That's cool." Chimera smiled softly. It warmed her heart that her dad had told his sister about her. She would have understood if he hadn't but it made her feel less like a dirty secret.
"If I had to guess it was tough watching from the sidelines for so long." Katie sighed cutting the first stitch string and tugging it out gently. Her comment was smart in that it would sound like she was talking about Chimera's stab wound not about her dad.
"I'd never consider it watching from the sidelines, ever." Chimera stated wincing as Katie tugged out another stitch.
"Well considering your rank I guess that has to be true." Katie smiled.
"You think I'm measuring up too expectations?" Chimera asked unsure. Katie stopped what she was doing and looked at Chimera until she met her eyes dead on.
"No. You're bang on to where they were predicted to be." Katie affirmed. Chimera felt her eyes water at Katie's words. It meant more to her to hear that she was doing just as good as her father had thought she would than hearing she was exceeding them.
"Good." Chimera replied not even feeling the next stitch leave her body. A comfortable silence fell over the two of them.
"So you and Eric huh?" Katie mentioned offhandedly.
"Ugghhh who told you?" Chimera groaned not even in the mood to try and deny something was going on. Something was happening Chimera just didn't know how far or long she would let it go even after initiation was over.
"I may have overheard something while I was running med checks at the wall." Katie shrugged.
"Did you also tell them you released me for final fights?" Chimera challenged with a raised eyebrow.
"Please. I'm Dauntless not stupid." Katie snorted pulling the last stitch out of Chimera's side.
"Well you can be the tie breaker. One side of my blood says go for it the other says run from it so what do you say?" Chimera demanded pulling her shirt down and sitting up.
"He's a completely narcissistic asshole, but also heard he's an amazing lay. Your call." Katie shrugged. She wasn't about to make her niece's choice for her.
"That doesn't help." Chimera groaned sliding off the counter and onto her feet.
"This is Dauntless babe. Go with your gut." She told her walking over to the door and reopening the store. Chimera shook her head as she went to leave. Katie grabbed her arm as Chimera walked by her.
"One day when we can maybe we'll go for a train ride. I want to know all about you, and well them." Katie whispered the last part referring to her brother and his Amity soul mate.
"I'd really like that." Chimera smiled.
Four leaned back into his chair mulling over what he had just watched. His intuition told him there was something more to what he had just seen and heard. There was an intimacy and familiarity between Katie and Chimera that just didn't make sense.
"How's our girl doing?" Amar asked taking the chair beside Four watching Chimera walk down into the Pit on one of the screens.
"I think we have it under control. She should make number one." Four responded switching his focus to another screen.
"Good. It'll come in handy having her in your debt if she goes into leadership and starts dating Eric." Amar said in a calculating tone.
"Maybe." Four replied. When Amar said it, it sounded a lot more like blackmail then when Chimera had.
"Something is brewing with the leaders Four. I can sense it." Amar warned leaning back in his chair.
"What have you heard?" Four asked turning to look at Amar.
"Nothing. It's just a feeling. But I'm going to do some digging." Amar said seriously.
Chimera climbed up onto her bunk thinking a quick day nap would be just perfect and was happy to have found the dorm completely empty. They basically they had one week left of sims and then it was the four day break before the landscapes. Laying down Chimera moved her head around on her pillow trying to get comfortable. After a while she realized that there had to be something under the pillow preventing her head from sinking down into it. Reaching up behind her head Chimera grabbed the thick square object and brought up in front of her face.
"What the hell?" Chimera whispered looking over the book. 'Did Clarissa bring this with her from Erudite?' She wondered. It was beautiful red leather bound book. The only lettering was written down the spine in elegant gold leafing.
"Possession." Chimera read the title out loud. It didn't seem like a book that Clarissa would have read or risked bringing with her from Erudite. Opening the cover Chimera almost dropped the book when she found the words 'Property of Eric Conrad' written just above the title in elegant handwriting.
'Recognize that sometimes an apology isn't a verbal thing.' Flex's voice floated into her mind. Looking down at the book she wondered if this was Eric's way of apologizing. Flipping to the first page of the novel she decided she had nothing better to do so she might as well read it. As she read the first chapter she came across a highlighted passage.
And when he took her he would not just possess her greatest ecstasy, but her very soul, her mind, even her very essence would belong to him and him alone.
Chimera quickly flipped the book around in her hands while keeping her page marked. This book was just so fitting for their situation that she wondered if Eric had drawn it up quickly just to serve some deviant purpose. Finding the proper publishing information she shook her head and opened the book back up to the marked page. Chimera felt her body flush with heat as she read page after page quickly discovering that this was actually a dark, explicit, descriptive erotica novel. Unconsciously her hand made its way into her jeans as she lost herself more and more into the story. She came to a part where the words had been highlighted again.
She glared defiantly into his eyes even though her body was begging her to give in. She knew he was aware of what her body was begging for but she would be damned to hell before she let him touch her.
'Oh god.' Chimera knew now that these weren't random passages Eric had highlighted some time before. They were direct messages and promises to her. She found herself reading through the pages eagerly anticipating what he would want to tell her next her hand dipping deeper between her legs.
He held her in his iron grasp as her body finally yielded to the passion he'd awoken in her. Though she had vowed never to scream his name she could not help but scream it to the heavens as he forced her body into the throws of the orgasm she had fought so hard to prevent.
Chimera's fingers had made their way between her smooth slit and gently stroked the wet skin sending small chills through her body. She hadn't touched herself in months due to the lack of privacy in the dorms and it just didn't seem appropriate to do it in Eric's office. She passed over her clit lightly, her mouth parting in a light pant as she read the next highlighted passage.
She turned to the mirror greeted by the sight of their entangled bodies glistening with perspiration as he thrust into her with deep strokes. She was mesmerized by the sheer look of passion radiating from her eyes back into her body creating a world of sensation she wished to be trapped in forever. At that moment she accepted that she was his alone to possess and submitted her body to the passion she knew only he could bring from her. That night her orgasms shook not only her body but also her very soul with the knowledge that her body would never crave another man's touch the way that it craved his.
Chimera jumped her hand flying out of her jeans when the door to the dorm screeched open. She tried to calm down both her heart rate and her breathing as she heard Rory and Anthony come into the room talking about their new tattoos. Tucking the book into her pillowcase Chimera laid on her back her body still pulsing with unreleased sexual energy. Hearing Rory and Anthony talking about their tattoos had reminded her that she could probably get hers done now. She'd go first thing tomorrow to talk with Neil about it.
"So what do you think? Ink worthy?"
"Neil this is better than anything I could have ever imagined." Chimera amazed truly in awe at the drawing in her hands.
"Well it's not every day that someone gives me as much creative freedom as you did." Neil shrugged turning to get his station ready.
"How could they not? You're absolutely an artistic genius." Chimera replied handing the paper back to Neil.
"Well coming from a girl who lived among those who appreciate art that is a very high compliment." Neil grinned carefully changing the needle head on the tattoo gun. "Same spot we talked about?"
"Yup." Chimera smiled.
"Alright take off your shirt and straddle the chair." Neil instructed pointing to the chair obviously meant for back pieces. Chimera looked around before quickly pulling off her t-shirt and dropping down into the chair.
"Even though I'm gay I still know how to do this." He teased unclasping her bra swiftly. Chimera pushed her chest harder into the leather and kept her elbows locked to her sides. She wasn't about to give everyone who walked into the shop a free show. Neil placed the stencil on her back and let her check in the mirror that the placement was right before he turned on the tattoo gun.
"Ready?" He asked over the loud buzzing.
"Yes." Chimera replied bracing herself. The needle hit her skin and she flinched slightly.
"It'll hurt less if you relax." Neil told her as he continued to outline the design. Chimera listened to the advice and relaxed her muscles against the sting of the outline needle. After a few minutes Chimera noticed a change. Instead of dreading the needle she was eagerly anticipating it. Her body was reacting in a very inappropriate way to the pain of being tattooed as she felt between her legs heat up. She bit down on her lip to keep the little moans of pleasure from escaping her mouth. Unfortunately that wasn't enough though to stop Neil from noticing after about 45 minutes.
"You know I've only had a few clients that get turned on by getting tattooed." Neil laughed. Chimera smiled unashamed knowing her reaction to the pain was partly because she was still riled up from yesterday's reading.
"Glad to know it doesn't creep you out." Chimera breathed huskily. Her body was dying to orgasm but she couldn't let it happen here. Not that being able to say she had an orgasm while being tattooed by a gay guy wouldn't make a great story.
"Not at all. Kind like a game of perverted flinch first. Instead of trying to make you flinch with the needle I make you tingle." Neil smirked wiping the excess ink away before bringing the needle back to her skin. Chimera smiled extremely happy that Neil wasn't freaked out that she was getting turned on while being tattooed.
"Pleasure's in the pain right?" Chimera sighed euphorically as Neil began filling in the area next to her left shoulder blade.
"Amen to that sister. Just don't you be getting your lady fluids on my chair." Neil threatened half seriously.
"Lady fluids? Seriously?" Chimera laughed looking at him over her shoulder wondering if he actually knew how close to an orgasm she was.
"I'm gay and that's what I'm calling it." Neil declared flatly. Chimera shook her head at him and looked forward again. It was going to be a fun couple of hours as long as she could keep herself from crossing the lady fluid line.
Eric walked into the tattoo parlour surprised to find it mostly empty, which was unusual since it was point distribution day. He heard buzzing from one side of the shop and soft little moans every few seconds. Curious he walked around to the side of the shop and stopped dead in his tracks. Chimera was at Neil's station getting a tattoo done on her upper back. But it wasn't the fact that she was getting inked that caused him to stop. It was the look of sheer bliss on her face as it happened. Eric swallowed hard noting the slight pain in her features when the needle touched her skin and the flush of enjoyment when it was removed. He flicked his tongue over his lip ring his own body beginning to react to the sight of her turned on.
"Eric what have I told you about my station when I'm tattooing people other then you?" Neil called out without looking up from Chimera's back. Chimera's head shot up from her arms her body tensing. She wasn't sure if the book was an apology or not so she had to tread carefully.
"I'm not here to intimidate her into leaving Neil." Eric promised his voice thick. Chimera saw the look in his eyes and relaxed knowing she had been right about the book since he was looking at her like he wanted to eat her not yell at her.
"Good. Cause I like this one and she ain't going nowhere till I'm done." Neil told him seriously. Neither Eric nor Chimera was sure if he was talking about the tattoo or her. "Now unless she's okay with you gawking at her you can come back in about two hours."
"He can stay if he wants." Chimera voiced quietly. Letting him watch her get tattooed would be a perfect form of revenge for the book. She'd let him watch her get turned on without hiding it and enjoy the fact he couldn't do a damn thing about it.
Eric's eyes darkened taking in how airy her voice was. He took a few steps towards her before she stopped him.
"But you have to sit in front of me. No going past the chair I'm sitting on." She instructed with a devilish smile. She was going to show him just how in control she was over things by putting a clear limit on how close he could get to her. Eric looked around and grabbed a chair from Tori's station. Carrying the chair over to Neil's station he placed it directly in front of Chimera about three feet back.
Chimera knew that the combination of the tattoo, Eric's literature messages, and now his presence were making her bolder. Eric had told her he would wait until the end of initiation when she was fair game to physically pursue her and he had kept to that. But that didn't mean she couldn't repay him for getting her riled up with very little options to take care of it. So she was going to have fun with him. See how far she could push him. It was a dangerous game but holy fuck did she want to play it with him after what he did to her with that damn book. She knew he wanted her but could she push him far enough that he proved he thought himself above the rules?
Chimera turned angled her head on her arms so Eric had a clear view of her face. Instead of trying to reign in her reaction to the needle she let it show freely. Looking into his eyes she let him see clearly how much she enjoyed the needle penetrating her skin. She blinked slowly up at him as she focused on tingles in her body instead of his face. He became a blur behind a wall of sexual haze. She gasped as Neil passed the needled over her spine biting her lip against the minor pain that travelled like lightning down her back. She sighed longingly when he removed the needle as the lightning of pain left her skin sensitive and buzzing.
Eric leaned forward in his chair his forearms resting on his thighs getting as close as possible to the erotic show she was putting on for him. She looked like pure ecstasy leaning against the chair and arching her back into the needle. She was watching him without really seeing him completely lost to the sensations of her body. It was one of the looks Eric prided himself on bringing out of his sexual partners and he promised himself she would look like that when they had sex for the first time, and every time after that.
Chimera focused on him for a moment her lips slightly parted as she panted lightly. Eric felt his own breathing synchronize with hers. Chimera closed her eyes momentarily letting a small seductive sigh escape her lips as the needle crossed over the fleshier part of her upper back. Eric watched her bite her bottom lip and flex her right fingers as Neil brought the needle back to her skin. There was something darkly provocative about watching someone's sexual experience play out in front of him when he was simply an observant.
Eric brought his finger up to his lips tracing the bottom one lightly before stopping on his lip ring. He rotated the ring slowly watching her every gasp and shudder closely. He knew he had to keep his hand occupied or he was bound to reach out to touch her. All he wanted to do was slam his lips against hers as Neil tattooed her feeling every gasp of pain and moan of pleasure she made against his lips.
Chimera watched him play with his lip ring and wondered what it would feel like to kiss him. Her tongue darted out to wet her lips and Eric's fingers stilled on his lip ring knowing exactly what she was thinking.
Chimera sure she was wet enough to soak through her jeans at this point. Eric watching her almost studying her in such an erotic situation made her wonder if she was special or if he memorized the sexual reactions of all the girls he was into. Either way his attention to every breath and moan she was making had her questioning why she ever second guessed the possibility of having sex with him.
A group of loud obviously intoxicated Dauntless came barging into the shop. Eric didn't break eye contact with Chimera as he stood thanking god his jeans were so tight even if they were painfully restricting his erection. He couldn't stay here and watch anymore with an audience of members around even though he never wanted to leave. He gave Chimera a final look of dark promise before turning and walking out of the shop. By the time she would be healed enough to come in for retouches she would be straddling his lap pressing her naked chest into his body while Neil retouched her piece. It was slightly kinky but holy shit it would be hot as hell.
"You are playing a dangerous game with a very dangerous player." Neil commented quietly after Eric had left.
"I know." Chimera grinned devilishly.
"Try not to break him anymore then he already is." Neil told her causing Chimera too look over her shoulder at him. Neil kept his focus on the tattoo so she turned back around. It was the first time anyone had warned her about hurting Eric. 'Like that could ever happen.' She thought dismissively.
Eric sprinted through the halls of Dauntless to his apartment. It was the one time he was thankful for the extremely ugly blue lighting everywhere because it hid any sign of his hard on. Fumbling with his keys slightly he threw open the door to his apartment and then slammed it closed behind. He let out a shaky breath
"Well fuck me." He breathed out shakily. That had been one hell of a ride and neither of them had even touched each other. Reaching down he popped the button on his jeans and carefully pulled down the zipper. Pulling his jeans low onto his hips to relieve some of the pressure on his erection Eric pulled his shirt off and headed for his bathroom. Turning on the shower he stripped off all his clothing and walked under the warm spray. Placing his hands on the tiled wall he let the water cascade down his back.
Reaching down to his erection he mentally pictured himself buried deep inside Chimera as she straddled him on the tattoo chair. He imagined himself flexing up into her between Neil's strokes with the tattoo needle showing her exactly how good mixing pain and pleasure could really be. There was no way it would ever happen in reality but the image he created caused his erection to twitch in his hand.
"God Chi how the fuck did you do this..." Eric moaned moving his hand firmly over his shaft.
"Thank god those are over!" Chimera cheered sitting on the edge of Clarissa's bunk. They had just finished their last round of sims before final evaluations. Chimera had blasted through her set and come to find Clarissa to see if she wanted to finally go get her first tattoo.
"Yeah..." Clarissa whispered quietly turning to face the wall.
"Hey only one more time and it's all over." Chimera comforted
"You know you're in my sims." Clarissa whispered.
"What?" Chimera asked stunned and a little offended. "I'm not that scary."
"No, no not like that." Clarissa said quickly turning over. "That night on the roof is. Except this time I'm awake but paralyzed. I can't stop Carl from stabbing you and then Lucas."
"Oh." Chimera replied unsure of what she should say. She hadn't thought about that day in a long time. She ran her fingertips over her t-shirt above where her wound was located. She could feel the little raised edges where the stitches were tied off.
"Do you wanna go somewhere and talk about this?" Chimera offered. It was something that both of them had yet to talk about and confront.
"Would you mind? I understand if it's something you would rather not talk about." Clarissa told her but Chimera could see the desperation in her eyes.
"It's obviously something we need to deal with so let's not delay the inevitable. Where do you want to talk?" Chimera asked thinking the dorms were a bad choice since initiates could come and go at anytime.
"I think we should go to the roof. You know like exorcize the hold the memories have on it." Clarissa suggested. Chimera wanted to tell her hell no but the look on her face told her that Clarissa was desperate to deal with this. Also she knew that Clarissa would push to go up there since this was something she had obviously wanted to do for a while.
"Fine." Chimera agreed tightly. Clarissa smiled in relief as she climbed out of bed and led the way up to the roof. When they reached the door to the rooftop Clarissa easily walked through it but Chimera hesitated. She was flashed back to the moment a month ago when she had burst through this very door out into the rain.
"Chimera." Clarissa called softly. Chimera looked at Clarissa without really seeing her. Carl's snarling face flashed before her eyes and she shook her head to get rid of the image. Thinking that Chimera was fine Clarissa smiled tightly before walking over to where her body had been when Chimera found her.
"I don't remember much except standing her and feeling something being jammed into my neck harshly." Clarissa said kicking at the gravel with her foot.
"He was standing over your body right there." Chimera pointed. "I came through the door just as he was undoing his belt."
"Why me?" Clarissa whispered hauntingly looking around. Chimera looked around the roof her eyes glazing over as her memories surface.
'I'll kill you if I have too.' Chimera snapped her eyes to the left hearing Carl's voice as if it was that night again.
"I never did anything to him." Clarissa continued oblivious to Chimera's struggle. Chimera's mind transported her back to that night as if it were playing out before her eyes again.
'I may not have cut it here bitch but I've managed to carve you up.' Chimera placed a hand to her side reliving the pain of the knife as if it were happening again. The other hand covered her ear hoping to silence his voice. She felt like the damn had burst on her suppression of all the feelings and fears from that night forcing her to live them all right in that moment.
"I guess I'm lucky I don't have anything to actually remember. That's the point I guess. I shouldn't be living in something that didn't actually happen." Clarissa smiled softly feeling better about things. She felt like she had accomplished what she needed. How could fear what she wasn't even awake to see? It was illogical. "It's actually really nice outside."
Chimera had to get off the roof. Clarissa was completely oblivious to what this was doing to Chimera. This had been dead and buried in the dark recesses of her mind and Clarissa had gone and fucking resurrected them. Without saying a word Chimera turned and fled from the roof leaving Clarissa lost in her thoughts. Her feet carried her swiftly to the only place she truly felt safe and protected.
Eric was surprised to find Chimera on his couch curled up into a tiny ball the afghan bound tightly around her body. He watched her sleep over the next few hours as he worked through the mountain of paper work he had to get done before the fear landscapes took place. He had no idea what the hell had happened to her but she was clearly shaken up. She looked softer when she slept and he was tempted to take her hair out of the braids he had never seen her without.
He looked at the clock and noticed it was almost dinnertime but Chimera didn't look like she would be waking any time soon. Quietly he left his office locking the door behind him to keep anyone from bothering Chimera. He wondered if he sim had been bad again causing her to vomit. That meant when she woke up she would probably be hungry.
No one questioned him as he entered the kitchens and began collecting food. He grabbed things that didn't have to be eaten warm since he had no idea when she would actually wake up. He placed everything he gathered into an empty box left over from the deliveries. Thinking twice he grabbed a third piece of chocolate cake knowing he would probably the two he'd already grabbed before she woke up.
"Looks like someone's gearing up for some heavy activity." Leslie's voice cut through the kitchen.
"Not interested Leslie." Eric dismissed picking up the box.
"Since when are you not interested in sex?" Leslie asked slightly put out.
"Never said that." Eric hefted the box so it rested on his hip.
"Then how about—"
"I'm not interested in having sex with you anymore is what I'm saying." Eric said not caring if he hurt her feelings.
"Whatever. You know you're a real piece of work Eric." Leslie snapped clearly irritated. "I hope you know the only reason I slept with you is because you're up for leadership."
"Always knew that." He said walking out of the kitchen. He hadn't had sex since the second week after the initiates had entered the compound and he was craving it. He was craving her. 'Only a few more days.' He thought to himself.
Chimera felt herself waking up from her bliss of a nap her demons momentarily forgotten. Shifting around she felt something under her feet and she stilled. It was a person. Automatically Chimera felt threatened and she sent a sharp kick towards whom ever it was. Her foot connected with something extremely hard.
"OH MY GOD OWE!" She yelled pulling her feet off the person. Opening her eyes she saw Eric sitting at the end of the couch holding a book up in front of his face. "Did you seriously just hit me with a book?"
"No I blocked the kick you sent towards my head with the book." Eric replied flatly. Chimera glared at him as she rubbed her foot against the couch cushions. Eric shook his head and placed the book down on the coffee table. Reaching over he grabbed Chimera's foot and brought it back onto his lap. Without asking permission he pulled off her sock.
"What are you—OH!" Chimera groaned as Eric began massaging her foot. She really should have told him to stop but it felt so good. Eric pressed deeply into the arch of her foot smirking to himself as her eyes closed and she automatically brought her other foot up onto his lap.
"Is this what you do to girls who try to kick you in the face? Cause I'll do it daily from now on if that's the case." Chimera whispered her voice that airy sexy Eric now associated with her being turned on. Eric dragged his thumbnail over the arch of her foot eliciting a gasp and quiet moan from Chimera. Her feet were definitely an erogenous zone for her.
"Try to kick me again and I'll use a bigger book." He threatened continuing to knead her foot expertly with his hands.
"Mmhhmmm." Chimera breathed as Eric pulled off her other sock and began massaging her other foot. Chimera felt no shame in the small moans and pleasure sounds she was making as Eric's calloused hands worked magic on her sore feet.
Eric laughed as a throatier moan came from Chimera when he pressed down on her insole. "You're purring like a kitten."
"Stop and you'll see my claws." Chimera teased. Eric's hands stopped as he remember wanting to prod her into showing him her claws only a few months ago.
"Hey please don't stop." Chimera pouted her eyes still closed. "I'm not done yet."
Eric groaned and dropped his head onto the back of the couch with a loud thud. 'You cannot be saying shit like that.' He felt Chimera nudging his hands with her feet urging him to continue. Eric ground his teeth together as Chimera's foot would periodically graze over his crotch accidentally. 'She's still an initiate so calm the fuck down!' He needed a distraction and quick or he was going to lose his control and nail her right there on the couch.
Chimera's stomach growled loudly stopping the movement of her feet. 'Thank god for small favours.' Eric thought looking over at Chimera.
"Hungry?" He smirked.
"Maybe…" Chimera let out a small laugh. Eric moved off the couch and over to the box sitting in the middle of his desk.
"We missed dinner officially but I went down and grabbed food figuring you'd be hungry." Eric explained pulling items out of the box. "Roast chicken or steak?"
Chimera looked between the two cellophane wrapped sandwiches Eric was holding up. "Steak." Eric continued to stand there holding the sandwiches. Chimera rolled her eyes. "Fine chicken."
Eric grinned arrogantly and tossed her the roast chicken sandwich. Catching the sandwich Chimera sat up. She ripped off the cellophane and dug into the sandwich with gusto. Eric sat at his desk and tucked into his own food. They ate in silence a bit longer before Eric took the opportunity to get to know her better like he had planned.
"How's the tattoo healing?" Eric asked conversationally. Chimera paused her mouthful of sandwich. Asking about the tattoo was such a loaded question.
"Fine. I hate putting lotion on it though." She answered flexing her back slightly recalling the burn it always caused.
"That can suck. But you seemed to enjoy the process a lot." Eric replied huskily. "I certainly enjoyed watching you get it done."
"Consider that pay back for the book." Chimera replied with a smirk.
"So you read it?" Eric asked his voice showing no signs of the need for approval he felt. "All of it?"
"Yes." Chimera told him her voice betraying the affect remembering the book was having on her body.
"It's one of my favourites." Eric confessed seeing her flush with heat as she recalled the book. His eyes narrowed wondering if she completely understood the meaning of why he had chosen that book.
"Do you have more?" She asked eagerly before she could stop herself. Eric smirked at her causing her to blush.
"Yes." He told her. Chimera blushed harder averting her eyes from Eric's. She never would have guessed he read erotic novels. She wondered if he did it for pleasure or to gather ideas.
"Neat." She whispered quietly clearing her throat.
"Not the words I would use to describe that form of literature." Eric smirked his eyes smoldering.
"You wouldn't?" She questioned still unable to look at him. His voice was that deep gravelly rumble that caused tingles to run up her spine.
"Not at all. Maybe I should go through them and highlight a few other passages for you to help you find a more fitting adjective." Eric told her his voice heavy with sexual promise. The room suddenly felt extremely warm. Chimera mistakenly let her eyes flick over to Eric and they focused in on his thickly muscled arms imagining what it would feel like to trace the tattoos on them with her blunt fingernails.
"Not long until looks like that are going to have consequences Chi." Eric cautioned his eyes dark and his voice thick with lust. Chimera flicked her eyes up to him her own lust giving way to concern.
"Consequences?" She asked clearly disturbed.
"You won't be able to eye fuck me knowing I can't do a damn thing about it." Eric clarified.
"Then I'll make sure to get it out of my system before you can." Chimera challenged smirking as the pencil Eric was holding snapped in half.
AN: I would really love to hear from everyone about how they feel about the sexual content. Too graphic? Not graphic enough?
Just a heads up but I am going to be taking about a one week hiatus from updating. Not because I haven't written more it's because I have long neglected my Hunger Games story that has a lot of followers PMing me about whether I have quit on that story. Don't worry the next chapter is the fear landscapes and right after that the... BANQUET!
Much luv,
