The next morning I am awakened by Eric's fingers in my hair and him kissing my head.

"Tris, Tris baby wake up. We have to go to the simulation lab."

"Mm mmm, I don't want to I want to stay and sleep with you."

"Baby you have to you're not finished with your initiation yet."

"OK, party pooper"

Eric chuckles deep in his chest and he helps me sit up.

I stretch to make sure that I am not overly sore and I realize that I don't feel that bad. I get up not worried about the fact that I'm naked and walk into the bathroom and get into the shower. I am soon joined by Eric and by the way he backed me up into the wall I know that we are going to be late for the simulation.

About 45 minutes later we emerge from the shower only to hear someone pounding on the door. Eric quickly wraps the towel around his waist which is hanging pretty low and yanks the door open.

Eric's POV

"Eric, man do you know how late you are? Four is pissed he sent me up here to find you and to tell you that Tris never showed up either."

"I know that I'm late but as you can see I was in the process of trying to get there. Tell Four to get his panties out of a bunch and that I will be there."

"Eric just hurry up ok. Why don't you seem so worried about Tris?"

"Umm I, I" I scratch the back of my head.

Just then Tris walks out of the room wearing a tight tank top that comes right above her belly button ring and a pair of black leggings. Her hair is still wet and has the just banged look.

"Hey babe do you know where my other spiked boot is at?"

I look from her to Zeke and see him smiling at me.

"Man I'm sorry I can see why you were late now. Hey Tris."

"Oh Hey Zeke" Tris walks over to give him a hug and I see his eyes go wide when he looks at her.

I look over to see what could have caused that reaction from him when I see that I had left more than a few love bites on her neck, chest, and belly. I trace one of them with my thumb and she shivers at my gaze. Then she smirks and rubs her hand over what I am guessing are a few that she left on my chest. She just looks up at me through her lashes and bites her bottom lip.

"Tris I think that you should probably wear something that covers up more of your skin if you don't want people questioning where you were last night."

"Yeah that seems like a good plan, thanks Zeke. Eric I'm going to borrow your sweater ok?"

"Yeah sure. I will be there in a minute oh and by the way your spiked boots are in the hall closet"

"Thanks"

I watch her walk back into the room and I turn back to Zeke.

"Do you think that Four would by the story that I woke her up early to get her checkup at the infirmary and then we came back here and lost track of time."

I really don't care what he thinks actually I want him to know that she was with me but I can't afford for Peter or any other initiate to think that she is getting preferential treatment.

"Sure man just don't be too much longer or it will be a mess ok?"

"OK thanks"

I go back into the room only to find a fully dressed Tris. She pecks me on the lips and lets me know that she will see me when I get to the lab.

Tris' POV

I arrive at the fear simulation lab and quickly take a seat in the back. Christina sees me and shakes her head while smirking. I just blush a little and look down. The door opens and a very irritated looking for comes out, he looks at me and his eyes narrow.

"Oh you finally decided to show up. Well you're just in time because it's your turn."

I get up with my head held high and walk over to the room. I immediately go and sit in the chair.

"Tris I don't know what's going on with you but you need to be more responsible. Eric is not in charge of scoring you for this I am so there will be no preferential treatment."

I glare at him, "what exactly do you mean by that? Do you think that I don't have what it takes to pass initiation? Let me remind you that I kicked you ass in the ring and that I have the fastest time with getting out of these freaking simulations. So do me a favor and jump off my ass ok."

"I wasn't trying to anger you I'm just trying to look out for you. I really like you and I want you to pass initiation and then maybe we can see if there can ever be anything between us."

I cross my arms over my chest and look at him incredulously. He can't be serious he knows that I am with Eric.

"You know Four there are a lot of people out there waiting to go through the simulations so why don't we just get on with it ok."

He just shakes his head and injects me with the serum.

I end up back in the same simulation that I was in yesterday except this time I don't panic. I fight off Drew and Peter and run over and knock Four out before he can push Eric. The simulation ends with me and Eric embracing and kissing by the chasm.

I open my eyes and look at Four. He just stands there and looks at me with a surprised look on his face.

"Do you know how long you were in there?"

"I don't know about 15 minutes?"

"It took you 2 minutes to get yourself out of there and it appears that you only have one fear. Is it okay if I make a quick call to Max? I think that you may have just conquered this fear and I don't know what to do with you if you don't have any others."

"Sure do what you want to do you mind if I wait outside?"

I lay back in the chair with my ankles crossed waiting to see what the verdict is going to be. A few minutes later Max and Eric walk in. As soon as I see Eric I start to blush. He just looks at me and smirks.

"Hey Tris, we are going to give you one more shot of the serum to see what happens and then we will go from there."

"OK, but I want Eric to give it to me."

"I don't know why you would want him to give it to you I do all of the injections it's my job."

"Good grief Four is everything a competition between the two of you? Just give me the dang serum already."

He injects me with it and I close my eyes and wait but nothing happens. After a few minutes of waiting and nothing happening I open my eyes and look around me. Eric is grinning and Max is just shaking his head. Four however seems baffled.

"Tris how did you do that?"

"How did I do what?"

"Conquer your fear and not having any others."

"To be honest I don't know, what I do know is that I had to realize that I beat Peter and Drew in a fight before and I also beat you so that means that I would be able to get to Eric in time. Besides Four I really don't see Eric believing that I slept with you…sorry"

At my admission Four blushes and looks away from me and Eric and Max are standing there trying to stifle their laughter.

"Well, I guess we need to meet with the other leaders and see what we are going to do about Miss Tris here. She is beyond Dauntless. You are really are something special Tris."

I blush and tell Max "thank you".

"Tris you can go and so whatever you like until we are finished with our meeting."

"Ok, Eric is it okay if I go to your apartment I am really sleepy since I didn't get much sleep last night."

Eric, just chuckles and surprisingly blushes a little. "Sure you have the key go ahead I will come for you when we come to a decision."

"Thanks", I walk over to him and give him a quick kiss on the cheek while standing on my tiptoes.

I go to Eric's place and immediately go into his bedroom I pull off all of my clothes except for the tank top that I had on under his sweater and my lacy boy shorts. I blush when I look at the bed remembering what took place last night. I decide to sleep on Eric's side of the bed since it smells like him and after I make myself comfortable I slip into sleep.

Eric's POV

"I am going to go to the office and write up a report on Tris' initiation standings and call Tori and Jett to the office. Be there in 10 minutes both of you. Four I will have Zeke come in and cover for you."

Shortly after Max walks out of the room Four starts to clean up the vials and syringes from Tris' simulations. I go to walk out of the room when Four calls to me. "Hey Eric, just so you know I told Tris that when she passes initiation we can see where a relationship between the two of us can go. I figured that it would only be fair to let you know that you have competition when it comes to her and since you are cold and ruthless I'm sure that she will pick me in the end."

I feel the heat of anger flash up the back of my neck with a white knuckle grip on the door handle I respond to him.

"Is that so well I guess we will see how she feels about all of that soon enough huh?"

"Yep, enjoy your time with her while you can because when she's mine she won't be sleeping at your place anymore."

I ignore him and slam the door on the way out. He should be glad that I didn't make him swallow his own teeth. I'm not the same kid that he beat up in initiation I just may have to remind him of that fact sooner rather than later.

2 Hours Later…

Four's POV

The meeting is finally over and it seems like Eric couldn't be happier with the outcome, he rushed out of the room to go and tell Tris our decision. I wonder if she is going to take the position that is going to be offered to her. In so many was I hope that she doesn't, because if she does she will spend all of her time with Eric and the other Dauntless leaders and I won't get to see her other than at lunch or during meetings and to me that is unacceptable.

****************************************Lemon*****************************************************

Eric's POV

I rush back to the apartment to tell Tris our decision and when I open the door I can hear faint moaning coming from Tris in the bedroom. I quietly walk back there to find her in a deep sleep naked in our bed. I can see that she must have taken her shirt and panties off at some point because they are still in the bed with her.

I quickly pull my clothes off and climb into bed with her, she is sleeping on her stomach so I straddle her from behind and lean down and start to kiss her neck. She moans louder and reaches for me. She grabs my hand and I whisper in her ear. "Tris, wake up do you want me to help you live out the dream that you are having?"

"Yes, Eric I am already awake I can feel you pressing against me."

"Lift your hips baby you can keep your head on the pillow."

She lifts herself up onto her knees but keeps her head lying on the pillow. I reach one hand around and roll her stiff nipple between my fingers and I take my other hand and rub her core. She starts to moan and buck back toward my hand. I take this as a sign that she needs to more and I take my thumb and push it inside of her while still working her spot. She starts to make whimpering sounds and I can feel her growing wetter and wetter on my thumb. She finally screams out my name and starts to orgasm. I rub her until she finishes and then I enter her from behind. From this angle I sink so much deeper into her wet warmth. I try to go easy on her because I know that she is new to all of this but she starts to ask for me to go harder and faster. Soon all you can hear in the room is our moaning and the sound of our skin slapping together. I can tell that she is close again by her breathing and the way that she is bucking back against my thrust, I can feel myself getting closer and I pound her harder and faster. After three thrust she comes apart underneath me and I explode inside of her while yelling out her name.

When I feel her stop clenching around me, I roll us onto our sides and pull her back against my chest. I kiss her shoulder and neck.

"Tris, I love you so much. You make me feel things that I have never felt before."

"Mm, I love you too Eric, you do have a way with waking a girl up."

I just smile smooth her hair back on her head and relax with my arms around her. I can definitely get used to this.

*************************************End of Lemon**************************************************

Tris' POV

I wake up awhile later to the smell of food cooking. I'm not quite sure what it is but whatever it is smells mouthwatering. I pull on my panties and tank top and head toward the kitchen. What I find when I get to the kitchen is so sexy. Eric is cooking with a towel wrapped around his waist, I can tell that he must have recently taken a shower because his hair is not in its normal ponytail and is dripping water down his back. I just sit and watch him cook, watching his muscles move with each movement that he makes, my mind wonders to other things so I don't realize that he has turned around and is facing me.

"Like what you see baby?"

I can feel that blush across my neck and face. "I was enjoying the view, why didn't you wake me when you woke up."
"You looked so peaceful I didn't have the heart to wake you. Dinners done come join me."

I get up and walk over to the table where I have a plate with a baked sweet potato and a half of a stuffed turkey breast and some glazed carrots on it. Just looking at the food my mouth starts to water. After Eric sits with his food we start to eat.

"Do you want to know what the decision is that we came to about you?" "Sure, it would make life easier knowing what you guys have plotted out for me." I say while giggling a little.

Eric just shakes his head at me and continues. "OK, we have decided that you are finished with initiation, you have ranked first by a long shot with you simulation times and with your fight record. As the number one ranked initiate you get first dibs at a job. Max and Tori suggested that you come and join us in leadership. You are whiz at computers and demand respect but you also have the humility and compassion that some of us lack. So we believe that you would be an asset to leadership. Also, Max is going to be retiring soon and he wants to me to take his place. I would want you to be with me because I know that you are not going to stab me in the back. So, what do you think?"

I put my fork down and bite my lower lip contemplating their proposal. "Well I am thrilled that I am finished with initiation. I am also flattered that you guys want me to work in leadership with all of you. The fact that you think so highly of me really means a lot to me. I think that I am going to accept the position."

Eric smiles brightly at me and grabs my hand. "Tris I also spoke to Max about making our big announcement he said that if you want we can either make it at the choosing ceremony tomorrow night or we can do it as a separate event. I have an idea of how we can do it…"
