(This is the longest chapter ever and for that I apologize) (All rights go to Veronica Roth)

I am awoken suddenly by a knocking at the door. I unwind her arms from my body and get up to answer the door. It's Uriah with mine and Tris' breakfast. "Thank you." I say and close the door. When I turn around Tris is up and wrapped in my blanket. "You left and all of the sudden it was cold." she says. I smile at her and hold up the tray. "Would you like some breakfast. It looks like Uriah is quite the waiter." She nods enthusiastically and smiles. She turns and deposits the blanket back on my bed. When she comes back in the tank top is bunched up around her mid-section and I frown as I see the bruises. She notices the change in my attitude and I say. "Let me assess the damage." Grabbing her gently by the waist I pull her to me and she winces slightly. I lift up the shirt stopping at her bustline and there are black and blue blotchy bruises all up and down her torso. There are handprints wrapping around her arms and a faint bruise around her mouth.

"Did they kick you?" I ask. She nods her head and I look her in the eye. "I need to feel to see if any of your ribs are broken, is that okay?" She takes a deep breath and whispers "Yes." I gingerly rub my hand along of the side of her body pressing in lightly, none of them seem to be broken, I repeat the action on the other side. I pull down her shirt and proclaim that none of them are broken. She then places her hands on my bare chest and I gently pull her to me. "If they would have killed you I would be so lost." I say clearing my throat. She looks at me and leans up to press her lips to mine. I curl my fingers into her hair, because it is the only place I feel I can touch without hurting her, and deepen the kiss. She opens her mouth and we each use our tongues to massage the other. I lift her up as carefully as possible and set her atop the counter so I don't have to lean down as far and place both of my hands on the small of her back not breaking the kiss.

At some point we both decide to come up for air and she wraps her arms around my neck and sighs into my shoulder. "Whoa." she says. I look up at her and say, "tell me about it." We both laugh. I rest my hand on her legs as I sit on one of the stools at the bar. I take a deep breath and pull her to sit on the stool next to me. "How about we get some food in us?" I say. She pauses for a minute and hops down apparently to take a second in the restroom and on the way back she runs her hand along my back muscles sending a shiver down my spine. We finish eating and she looks at me expectingly "What are we doing today?" she asks. "Well, Four is going to message me when everyone is down doing the fear sims so we can go get your stuff without having to talk to anyone, because there is no way that I am going to let you go back to that dorm." I say. " I already spoke to Max and you are cleared to stay here until you get your own apartment or we decide we like the arrangement and you move in permanently." She looks up at me with a giant smile on her face and says, "I don't think that is going to be a problem."

At that moment my phone goes off with a message from Four informing me that we are cleared to go. I put on a shirt and my shoes and grab Tris' shoes from the bathroom. As she is putting them on I have to inform her of the way things need to be. "No one can know about whatever we have going on here yet, It would make it look like I am showing you favor, and the last thing I want is more people trying to hurt you, do you understand?" She nods her head and with that we are off. I grab a box and we start to clean out her little section. I am disgusted as I see that someone has painted STIFF on her bedposts. It takes about 15 minutes to finish and as we are walking back I notice that she is limping slightly. "Do I need to take you to the infimary?" She shakes her head and by the look in her eyes I know she wants me to do it.

We are almost to the training rooms and I realize that once again I did not get to have my morning workout yet again, but she is worth it. As suddenly as that thought appeared so did Al. My girl visibly tenses and I step in between them. He pales but begins talking to Tris. "I just wanted to apologize, I don't know what came over me, can you please forgive me?" I start to talk but she shoves me out of the way. "Don't you dare talk to me or come near me ever again, if you do I promise you this, I will kill you." His eyes search hers and his eyes travel to her arms which as I saw earlier are bruised in the exact shape of his hands. "I'm sorry." he whispers and as quick as he appeared he is gone. We finally get back to my apartment and she goes to the couch and sits with her head in her hands. "I don't feel bad for not forgiving him, he was supposed to be my friend, I mean I know Peter probably talked him into it but he chose to participate and that is unforgiveable." she says. "I agree with you, if you had not shoved me out of the way I would have hit him again, now, let me examine the rest of the damage so we can get some ice on there."

I remove the tank top leaving her only in her bra. I groan inwardly because she is so beautiful. I help her step out of the sweatpants and she tries to cover herself. I grab her hands and say "Stop it, you are gorgeous and you shouldn't be embarrassed." I examine her legs and see bruises from the lone bar that protects from falling into the chasm. There are also kick bruises on her thighs, as I move my gaze upward I get extremely angry, there is a handprint bruise peeking up over the top of her bra. She sees my eye getting more and more angry with each passing second. She steps forward and puts her tiny hands on my face slowly sliding them down my chest until they reach the hem of my shirt which she grabs and pulls over my head. She gets closer and plants a kiss on my chest directly above my heart.

She grabs my hand and pulls me towards the bedroom, but as if the universe is telling us no there is a knock at the door. "It must be Uriah with lunch." I say. I reach for the tray but he holds up a hand. "Can I speak to you for a moment?" he says. I step into the hall and close the door. "What is it Uriah?" I ask. "Well," he says. "You know that transfer from Erudite, the big one?" I nod my head and roll my eyes as if saying get on with it. He looks me dead in the eye and I know it's not good. "He jumped." I groan outwardly and thank him for letting me know. I set down the tray and run my fingers through my hair and go to grab my communicator from the bedroom. I message Max and let him know that I refuse to do the speech and explain why. I grab Tris' clothes as she comes out of the bathroom and hand them to her. "Put these on I need to talk to you." I say far more gruffly than intended. She blinks up at me and looks slightly scared, but puts on the clothes as I have asked.

I sit on a barstool and unwrap one of the sandwiches and hand it to her and then unwrap one for myself and walk over to the couch. After we have both finished I grab one of her hands in my own. "Tris, Al jumped." I say. Her eyes get big and her mouth sets in a hardline. She looks like she wants to say something I prompt her with my eyes and she says. "I guess his cowardice could really only take him so far, do you want to finish the movie?" There is a weird smile plastered on her face and at this point I wish I was a mind reader because she is not giving anything away. "Tris, it's okay to take a moment, you don't have to be brave all the time, at some point he was your friend. You took a knife to the ear for him. Yes, last night was terrible and a giant mistake on his part but, it is okay to miss the friend that you had before that." I say. She looks me in the eye and nods her head. So much for that I think.

I grab the blanket from the bed and take it to the couch and sit down. I turn on the TV and DVD player and stretch out on the couch. I rest my eyes for a moment and then I feel the blanket move. My eyes fly open and once again she has removed the tank top and sweats and is just in her underwear, she parts my legs and puts her back to me and sits in between them. I start the movie and wrap my arm around her waist palm flat against her stomach. After I few moments I feel her hand move to my thigh and she is massaging it and it feels insanely good, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if she couldn't feel my erection because I sure as hell could. I move my hand from her stomach and gently begin to massage her shoulders and they are very, very tense. I try to avoid any bruised areas because the thought of causing her pain makes me angry in and of itself. I move one hand up to her scalp and wind my fingers through her hair at the nape of her neck and bring her head down and kiss her passionately. She quickly moves her tiny frame so that she is straddling me. Her hands instantly fly into what little hair I have pulling me in closer and deepening the kiss.

My hands move to the small of her back and I crush her body to mine. Two seconds later she comes up for air and I trail kisses down her neck and then back up to nibble on her ear. She pulls my face up and kisses me hungrilly again. I pull back and look at her, "Is this too much?" she shakes her head no and once again crushes her mouth to mine. Her hands travel to my back and she digs her nails in and rakes them across my already tingling flesh, at this my cock twitches and she stills for a moment. I know that this is foreign to her and I am trying very hard to control myself from ripping off the two pieces of material that are hindering my hands from exploring her entire body, I have to keep telling myself that that is not what she wants so begrudgingly I pull away from her. "You don't want to go any further and I am not sure that I can control myself, please, just lay with me we have plenty of time for you to be ready." I say not believing my own words. I give myself a mental high five, she really is important to me.

I give her another peck and even though she looks slightly disappointed she thanks me and turns back to watch the movie but not before replacing my hand on her stomach. This time we almost make it through the movie my hands still on her stomach and her hands on top of mine when out of nowhere she moves my hands up to cup her breasts. I slip my hands into the cup of her bra and massage her nipples with my fingers completely in awe that she is allowing me to do this. At some point she starts moaning and if it is possible I believe I get even harder beneath her. When she feels my cock on her back she turns her head and looks at me wide eyed. I continue playing with her nipples and she is breathing deeper and more rapidly with every roll of my fingers. She moans extremely loudly and in the next instant she is completely relaxed. I am in shock because I have never made someone orgasm just by playing with their nipples of course I have never spent this much time just focused on them either.

When she comes down from her high her face is red and she looks entirely confused as to what happened to her body. She gets up and excuses herself to the restroom. She is gone for a few minutes and in that time I am trying to will down my erection. While trying to figure out how to do this there is once again a knock at the door and thankfully that does the trick. Uriah has brought us dinner, once again I thank him and set the trays on the bar. I look at my communicator while I am up to see if there are any messages. There is one from Four asking how Tris is doing so I send him and update on her status including all the bruises and tell him the plan that I have erected for tomorrow. He asks me if there is anything that she needs but I tell him that she is okay on stuff now.

Tris comes out of the bathroom and is standing between the couch and the bedroom door and is trying desperately not to look me in the eyes. I have some idea what is bothering her but I would rather her tell me instead of guessing. I motion her over so that we can eat dinner and ask her what is wrong. She looks at me like she is utter awe. "Is that what I have been missing all my life, I mean I have talked to Chris about what happens when you have sex but I didn't expect anything like that and that wasn't even sex!?" she says. I wait for her to take a bite and then I say, "Wait til I put my mouth on them." she pales and almost chokes on her hamburger. "I'll make you a deal, if you decide that you are ready by the end of this week and you do great on your fear landscape then we can try on Friday." She looks up at me with a disappointed look on her face. "But what if I am ready now?" she says. At that I am almost undone but I have plans for my little dove.

"I want our first time to special, and if you rank first, which I know you will, that will be special." She kisses my cheek and takes a french fry into her mouth chews for a moment and says "Deal." I smile and go back to my food, I then clean the dishes from the day and leave them with my keys on the table so I can deposit them in the Mess Hall on the way back to work tomorrow. "I'm going to take a shower." I say "You can do whatever you want I shouldn't be in there very long." As I am in the shower I am lost in thought, completely surprised at how very natural it feels sharing my space with someone, not just someone the someone. As I think about everything that has happened today I feel myself getting hard once again. I would love nothing more than to be buried in her at this moment but I need her to be sure that she is ready and not just trying to placate me. As I get lost my musing I hear the door open and there she is standing in front of me completely naked and staring at my cock like she can't believe what she is seeing.

She steps into the shower and closes the door water cascading down her body. Before I was at half mast and now I am raging. I grab my shampoo from the ledge and squeeze some into my hand. I turn her around so that her back is facing me and I slowly massage it into her thick, silky hair. She moans as I run what little fingernails I have into her scalp and then rinse out her hair and do they same torture with the conditioner. She quickly turns around and reaches her left hand up to my face and pulls my lips downward to meet her own. I keep my hands balled at my sides not knowing what I can or cannot do, because I have absolutely no idea what is going on in that pretty little head of hers. She reaches up and grabs my body wash and puts some in her hand and lathers it nicely and then motions for me to turn around.

She the proceeds to wash my back using her nails to make small circles inwardly I am dying at every touch our familiar electrical current pusling like crazy. She pulls my arm and I turn back around not daring to touch her. She repeat the action on my chest. As she slowly moves down my torso I get nervous that she is going to touch my cock. I grab her wrists with my hands but as I do so she slaps me away. Her soapy hands then grip onto my throbbing member and she slowly starts rubbing. She stops for a second and washes the soap off of me. I grab the soap and return the favor. My hands linger on her ass and I grip tensing at the contact. I get that rinsed off and turn her back around and glide my hands over her perfect breasts willing myself to forget the bruises that currently reside there. I wash her stomach and slowly guide my hand down between her thighs massaging her clit with my adept fingers. As I finish rinsing her off I put my hands back to my sides and the look of disappointment that crosses her face saddens me.

I look at her as lovingly as possible. "We had a deal." I say. She stands on her tip toes and kisses my shoulder whispering understanding into it. Without warning she kisses my nipple then she moves her gorgeous lips to the spot between my pectorals. The she uses her teeth to bite each one of my nipples alternating sides. Then I no longer see her head she has dropped to her knees in front of me, at first I panic thinking she has fallen but then a blush plays on her her cheeks and she looks up at me as she takes my cock into her hand and lightly kisses the tip. She licks her lips and once again smiles up at me but I reach downward and touch her hair. "You don't have to do this." I say. She doesn't have to say anything because in the next instant I am in her mouth and her look of pleasure matches my own. As I feel her lips on me I relish every feeling that courses through me and it is like I have never had a blow job before no one could compare to the way this feels right now, She swirls her tongue around the tip as she takes in a breath and then in one smooth motion takes me deeper into her throat. I groan as she digs her nails into my thighs and starts to gently massage my balls while pushing faster with her mouth. I use every ounce of my will not to thrust because I don't know how much she can take and as if she is reading my mind in the next instant I am all the way inside her beautiful mouth.

That right there is my undoing and I release my seed into her mouth her eyes get wide for a second but then I see a special glint in her eyes as she releases me and swallows. She stands and kisses me and without another word exits the shower. I rub my head not believing what just occured. After about a minute I also remove myself from the shower and pull on my boxers and turn to enter the bedroom. Tris is already in bed. I can't tell if she is naked or not, but I go out into the kitchen to collect myself and grab a glass of water. I hear her sit down on the couch and when I turn around she is patting the cushion next to her. "What's wrong?" she asks. Tears threatening her eyes. "Did I do something wrong? I just did what Chris described. I figured it was only fair since I got to orgasm that you should be able to have some sort of release as well."

I put my hands through my hair. "You didn't do anything wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed myself I'm just worried that I am pressuring you into too much and I don't want to lose what we have." She shakes her head. "Listen to me, I am the one who put your hands on me, and I am the one who came into the shower. Now if you don't cheer up I am going to be upset because today was one of my best days ever and I don't want you to ruin it." I stand up and smile and after turning out all the lights I lead her to our bedroom. I lay her down and after unwrapping her from the blanket I discover that one of us is entirely to dressed up for the occasion and it isn't her. As much as I don't want to I leave my boxers on and climb into bed once I am satisfied with my position I grab her and pull her to my chest.

She pulls away slightly and turns to where she is lying on her back. Geez this girl is really testing what little self-control I already have. In that instant I realize that I can no longer control myself. I pull myself so that I am laying over her and I slowly start to kiss her. I kiss down her neck and across her chest and then I take one nipple into my mouth and the other in my hand. I flick my tongue ring over her nipple, with this she moans deeply so I switch to the other side. I kiss down her stomach blowing lightly on her belly button and hip bones. Her hips instinctively thrust under me. I continue my cruel descent nipping at the soft skin on her thighs. Finally after what seems like torture I finally reach the apex of her thighs. I swipe my tongue over her opening and oh God she is so wet. I delve my tongue into her and slowly and torturously make circles with the tip of my tongue. I do not use my fingers because that is not what I want her to feel first I want the first thing to enter her to be my throbbing cock.

I continue to lick and suck and nip my teeth until finally with her fingers wrapped in my hair she reaches her peak. Her breathing is hard and ragged, so much so that I look up to check and see if she is okay. When I see the look of utter glee on her face my heart warms knowing that I am the cause. I crawl my way back up to the pillow and once again encircle her within my arms. With great effort she leans up and kisses me. I return the kiss but do not have the energy to do much more and within minutes I am positive that we are both snoring.
