Torn 21

---

Eric did not get off from work until well after midnight. He quietly let himself into your apartment, took off his boots at the door and hung up his coat on the coat rack. He found himself in your bedroom standing over your bed watching you sleep. As usual you had kicked off the sheets as he has noticed since having Abbey you were hot natured at night and could not stand the covers to be on you long. His body long to be against yours, he longed to taste your skin, he longed for your legs to be wrapped around him with your tight pussy sucking him in. Eric shook his head to clear it and walked to his daughter's room. She was fast asleep on her back with the night light giving her a luminous affect. He leaned down and kissed her face before undressing to his boxers and crawling into the bed he found himself in most nights. Even though work kept him from you and his daughter during the day, he found he slept better when you three were under the same roof at night. As he laid down staring at the ceiling his thoughts landed on you and his daughter as they did all day every day.

You were woken by the sounds of Abbey wanting to be fed. You quickly got out of bed and headed to her room. As usual you saw Abbey's father laying in the bed in her room. You longed for him to be in your bed with his body up against yours.

You cooed at Abbey as you picked her up for her feeding.

"Hey." Eric said softly.

"Hey back. What are you doing awake?"

"I can't sleep."

"You want some company?"

Eric nodded yes as he sat up in bed. Even in the soft light of the night light you could tell he was tired. His eyes were red with prominent bags under them. You sat on the bed beside him and as Abbey nursed you found your other hand caressing Eric's face. He let out a sigh of pure exhaustion as his eyes closed and his face leaned into your hand. You wanted to hold him and never let him go at that moment. You did not like seeing him like this. You both sat in silence as Abbey nurse for a few minutes.

"You want to tell me what's going on?" You asked breaking the silence.

"It's nothing to concern yourself with." Eric opened his eyes and pulled back from your caress.

"Eric, you are exhausted. I am worried about you."

"I'll be fine. The last thing I need is for you to worry about me."

You frowned at his response.

"Whether you want me to or not I'm worried." You told him as you looked down at Abbey who was half asleep still latched on your nipple. You gently pulled her from your breast and handed her to Eric to burp like you did most nights if he was up during your feedings. You watched Eric hold his daughter, gently patting her back until a small burp escaped her mouth. Eric got up from the bed and put his sleeping daughter back in her crib. Eric sighed with weariness as he crawled back into the bed. You looked at Eric to find him gazing at you and in the soft light of the night light you could see the desire in his eyes. There was something more in his eyes as you scooted up closer to him in the bed and caressed his face again. Eric looked intently in your eyes as your fingers lightly caressed his face and lips. You wanted so badly to kiss his lips. You shook the desire from your body as best you could and thought this would be a good time to have a long-needed conversation with him.

"I know you are tired but I have something to ask you. I need to do it while I have your undivided attention."

"Go ahead." He had a feeling what you were going to ask.

"What are we doing?"

"What do you mean what we are doing?" He asked with a slight frown on his handsome face.

"Us. What are we to each other?"

Eric let out another sigh and rubbed his hand over his face. Yep, here it was the dreadful talk of feelings.

"We are two people who care about each other and both raising our child together."

"Do you love me Eric?"

Eric's face gave a slight grimace.

"I love my daughter and you have my heart."

"I know I have your heart but do you love me?"

"I already told you what you mean to me Y/N. I am not a man to repeat myself just to appease you. I am here for you and my daughter. What more do you want?" You could feel him becoming annoyed with you but you needed to know.

"I want you."

"Do I have you?"

"What do you mean? You know you do."

"No more Four?"

"No more Four." You answered.

"Then you have me."

"All of you?"

"You have all of me."

"No more other women?"

Eric looked at you intently thinking how he would answer.

"Eric? No other women right?" Your heart started to pound in your chest every second he did not answer.

"No other women." He finally said. You sighed with relief hoping he was telling you the truth. "Y/N you do know my needs and what kind of appetite I have."

"Yes I do." You looked from his eyes as the pure desire you had for him would reflect in your eyes.

"So you really might want to end your stupid challenge."

"It's stupid to you because you know you will lose."

"No sweetheart. You know me better than that. I don't lose at anything no matter what."

"Ok Eric if you say so." Please God don't let that be a lie what he just told you about other women.

As you looked at him in the soft light you wondered would he ever feel the same for you as you felt for him?

You didn't know what you had expected to him to say. It was not like he was going to profess his love for you and get down on one knee to ask your hand in marriage but you were disappointed. You loved this man with every fiber in your body and you just wanted more from him. Yes, he told you that you were his heart but you just needed to hear those three words from him.

"Y/N just trust me ok. I'm not going anywhere."

"I trust you. Do you want to come lay with me?"

Eric raised his pierced eyebrow. "And do what?"

"Sleep." You wanted him to hold you.

Eric shook his head no.

"What did I just say." His voice was hard. "You know that would be the last thing we will be doing if I crawled in that bed with you. Do you want to do more than sleep?"

You got up from the bed. He was right and if you told him yes that would be telling him you wanted him even though you did with every cell in your body. You would not give him the satisfaction of losing the challenge no matter how silly he thought it was.

"You are right we better not. Good night Eric."

You didn't hear a response as you watch him lay back down in bed and turn his back to you.

---

Eric was gone when you went to get Abbey to start the day. The bed was perfectly made as usual. He always made the bed better than you. You smiled at the thought of him tucking the sheets under the mattress making sure you could bounce a quarter off the bed. After feeding Abbey your tablet alerted you that your mom had arrived. You wanted to shout for joy. You missed your mom and could not wait to see her. You were also sad that you will have to leave your baby girl for eight hours a day as you returned to work soon. You missed work but you were going to miss Abbey more. Four stopped by and sat with Abbey as you and your mother unpacked and cleaned the apartment she would be staying in right across the hall.

"She is growing like a weed." Four commented as he kissed Abbey's fingers.

"Yes she is."

The tension between you and Four was slowly subsiding with each passing day.

"Are you excited about returning to work? It will be good to have you back." Four told you as he watched you clean the dust off one of the dressers in your mom's new room.

"Yes, I am excited. How are the initiates doing?"

"They are doing good."

You notice a change in Four's voice so you stopped cleaning and looked over at your former lover.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. What makes you think something is wrong?"

You put down the dust brush, walked over to Four and lifted his chin up to face you.

"I know you Four."

Four tried to look away but you held his chin firmly. You felt the realization as to why he would not look you in your eyes hit you in the gut.

"What's her name?"

"She is just an initiate."

"Just an initiate? I was just an initiate. I can tell you like her. Does she feel the same?"

"I think so. It won't be the same as it was with you and me. I will never love anyone the way that I love you."

You leaned over and kissed Four on his forehead not responding to his declaration.

"I am so happy you found someone Four. You deserve happiness. What's the lucky girl's name?"

"Tris."

"Well that's a pretty name. I bet she is lovely and I can't wait to meet her." A slight twinge of jealously stabbed at your heart but you were happy for Four. If anyone deserved love it was him. You wondered how long their relationship was going on and if he told her about you. You wondered if he would ever tell her if he had not done so already. You hoped not as there was no real need too. He was god father to your child and that was all she really needed to know. Lord knows you did not need another woman in Dauntless disliking you.

You were finally done cleaning your mom's apartment and you sighed from exhaustion as you flopped down on your couch.

"Mommy is tired baby girl." Abbey responded to you with a string of coos and gurgles. You looked down at your tablet sitting on the coffee table when you heard the text alert sound.

You smiled at your tablet when you read Eric's message telling you he would be home for dinner but will have to leave back out for work. Your eyes zoned in on the word 'home'. You were tired and had not plan on cooking anything. You were just going to eat a sandwich but you quickly jumped up from the couch, pulled Abbey's baby seat with you, headed to take a shower and then to the kitchen to cook for your baby daddy.

You had just finish cooking when you heard the keypad and the door open. The conversation from last night was still fresh in your mind and as you watch him walk in you hoped one day he would be able to say those three important words to you. Eric hung up his jacket, looked you up and down, clenched his jaw in sexual frustration and took a beeline straight to his daughter. Well hello to you too, you thought as you made his plate.

Eric sat down at the table with Abbey sitting on his knee.

"Here let me take her while you eat." You told him as you place a plate of hot food in front of him. Nodding Eric let you relieve Abbey from his knee. You grabbed your daughter and found your finger nails grazing the back of his neck and you were rewarded with a light shiver before his blue eyes turned to looked up at you. You smiled sweetly down at him before putting Abbey in her baby seat and setting it on rock motion. You grabbed your plate and sat across from Eric.

"Your mom settled in okay?" He asked before stuffing his mouth with steak.

"Yes, she is. I can tell she will miss dad though but he will be here on the weekends and vice versa."

Eric nodded as he cut more off the steak you cooked for him.

"Are you ready to start back work in soon?"

"Yes." You replied trying not to stare at his mouth as he chewed and licked his lips. It was becoming a strain on you having him around. His very presence turned you on and you constantly fought at the desire to jump him. However, you were bound and determine to have him concede.

"Y/N?" Eric put his fork and knife down on his plate and sat back in his seat.

You jumped out of your intimate thoughts of him and looked back up in his piercing blue eyes. A seductive smile played on his lips.

"I'm sick of your little game." Eric turned around and looked at his daughter who had fallen asleep. "Abbey's asleep. I can relieve some of that stress you are carrying around. All I need is five minutes and I will have you at release. Just say the word Y/N."

You nearly moan at his words. You were so tired of fighting.

"Stop it Eric." You told him as sternly as you could. You popped a piece of steak in your mouth and chewed it a little harder than necessary. Eric's smile widen as he saw how you were fighting what you and him so desperately needed.

"I think I will need more than five minutes. You're chewing that steak a little too hard. I will have to make you come several times to even come close to getting some of that edge off."

"Oh my God." You whispered under your breath as the image of him inside you popped in your head.

Don't you lose! Don't you lose! He was so damn cocky and sure of himself which was one of the many reasons you found him attractive but he needed to be brought down a level or two. Having him beg for you would be a start. You both ate in silence but Eric never took his eyes off you and the way he was looking at you had you squirming in your seat. You quickly finish your meal and got up from the table. You needed to get away from his heated gaze. You started to wash your plate when Eric got up, walked up behind you and wrapped his thick arms around your waist.

"Eric what are you doing?"

He didn't answer but pushed your hair to the side to expose the back of your neck and gently kissed your exposed skin. His kisses turn into licks, his licks turned into soft bites and then back to kisses. You were becoming delirious at how good he felt and you were mad at yourself for allowing a moan or two to escape your lips. Eric spun you around, lifted you up, wrapped your legs around his waist, planted you on the counter and brought his lips to yours. You greedily accepted him.

"Can I take you here?" He whispered against your lips.

"Tell me you want me." Even though your body was screaming at you, your mind held steadfast.

Eric leaned in and kissed you harder and you felt his hard on between your legs. Your body instinctively wrapped your legs around his waist tighter pulling him even closer to you. As you both fucked each other's mouth Eric started to grind against you and you found yourself bucking up to his grind.

"Oh….uhhh….Eric!" You moaned. He felt so damn good. You missed him. You needed him. His grind increased and you started to feel the familiar feeling of an orgasm rising as your hood piercing was hitting your clit just right. "Oh God Eric!"

"Come for me baby." Eric nipped your earlobe.

"Eric you need to stop." You said barely above a whisper. You didn't want him to stop.

"I just want to see you come. I want to see your face."

"Eric stop." You said a little louder as an orgasm was about to grip your body and you pushed Eric away with all your strength.

"Fuck Y/N!" Eric shouted at you. "You need to fuckin stop this! Do you want me to go to Mandy?"

Your body jerked at the very mention of her name.

"You told me no more other women Eric!" You yelled. How dare he throw her up in your face?

Eric grabbed your chin and lifted your face close to his.

"If you don't stop this stupid, fuckin game I will go find someone else who would be happy to have me. Trust me Y/N it would be easy to find someone. All the young, new initiates that look at me with 'fuck me' eyes all day, every day."

"You fuckin asshole! You didn't mean a thing you said to me last night." You tried to pull your face away from his grasp only to have him grab your chin tighter.

"I meant every word of what I said last night. This is on you. All on you." Eric let go of your chin, went and kissed his daughter who was surprisingly still asleep after you and Eric's little argument, grabbed his jacket and walked out the door. You still sat on the kitchen counter flabbergasted. That man never cease to amaze you at how well he could push your buttons.

"Asshole!" You shouted at the closed door.

---

Around two in the morning Abbey's whimpers woke you up for a feeding. You quickly went to your daughter and was surprise that you didn't see Eric asleep in her room. You frowned at the empty bed and wondered if he did indeed make good on his threat to hook up with Mandy or one of the initiates. He wouldn't dare you thought as you nursed Abbey. You knew this was him fucking with you as usual. After Abbey fell back to sleep you grabbed your tablet off the night stand. You stared at it for a long moment before you dialed Eric's number.

"What!" he answered with a sharp snap. You rolled your eyes, biting your tongue.

"Are you still at work?" You hoped he was at work or home alone and not balls deep in some bitch. There was a long silence on his end.

"Eric?"

"It's two in the morning why would I be at work?" He sighed frustrated at you.

"Why are you not here? Abbey will miss you tonight."

"Only Abbey?" Eric inquired.

"You know I miss you."

"I'll be there tomorrow. I had things to do tonight."

"I hope the things you were doing were not another a woman."

Eric was silent.

"Eric? Are you with someone?" You asked as you started to panic.

"No, Y/N no one is here. I have not been with anyone." He sighed into his tablet. You sighed with relief. "I'll see you tomorrow." Without waiting for a reply Eric ended the call. You slammed your tablet back on the nightstand, crawled into bed and became more annoyed at him. To know that he specifically did not come and stay with you and Abbey tonight just to prove some stupid point began to piss you off. He can push your buttons and play silly games with you all he wanted but he will not put Abbey in the middle. Abbey was three months now and knew her father's face. She was use to him being there when she woke up at night for her feedings. You sat up in bed as your mind started to think of a way you could get back at him. You smiled to yourself as you turned on the lamp on your nightstand. You will send him a pic to remind him just what he was missing out on. You quickly crawled out of bed and at your vanity pulled your hair out of its ponytail, ruffling it a little to add body and applied shimmering lip gloss Jen had brought you.

You pulled your tank top down to show off your ample cleavage. You had pulled it so low it was dangerously close to showing the tips of your areola. Crawling back in bed you put your forearm under your breast, pushed it up and squeezed your breast together. You grabbed your tablet with your free hand and snapped several seductive pictures. Picking the most seductive pic you typed in the text section of the message that you missed him immensely. You grinned as you sent the picture. You saw exactly when he viewed the picture and held your breath waiting for a reply. You saw where he started typing and then he stopped for a long moment and then started typing again.

Quit fucking around and go to bed.

His text read. You burst out laughing. That should have him wound up pretty tight tonight. You sat the tablet back on the nightstand, went to your bathroom to wipe the lip gloss off and pull your hair back into a ponytail. You hope Eric has a restless night you thought as you climbed back in bed.

When Eric opened your message, and saw your selfie he gazed at your picture for a long time as his dick grew harder than a rock. Your eyes were literally telling him to come fuck you. That little pout you gave with your lips shimmering just begged to be wrapped around his dick. He growled deep in his throat when his eyes landed on your cleavage. You knew exactly what you were doing and it took all of Eric's strength not to march down to your apartment and give you what you were begging for in this picture. Eric typed his response to you, threw his tablet on his nightstand and proceeded to his bathroom for a cold shower. He refused to relieve the pressure that was built inside him. The next time he came he would be inside you.

---

Eric was so busy the next day at work typing up a report he barely was able to keep up with you through the nanny cam. You were a busy bee with cleaning, feeding, washing, and playing with Abbey. Eric did catch himself smiling whenever he heard Abbey's little laughs and coos. When he heard your shriek, he stopped typing and quickly looked over at the tablet. He saw you run out of your bathroom soak and wet. What the fuck?! He thought as he watched you quickly pick up your tablet and call maintenance. Listening in Eric gathered a pipe busted in the bathroom. He could not help but smile as you stood soak and wet in just your shorts looking frustrated. Eric zoomed in on your breast and licked his lips as your nipples were hard as a rock. You put on a tank top and sat in the bed reading something on your tablet as you waited for the maintenance man. After about twenty minutes you heard a knock and went to answer the door.

Eric frowned when he saw the maintenance man walk in behind you with his eyes trained on your ass. You and those damn shorts, Eric thought. The way your ass looked in them was any man's kryptonite. Eric watched you exchange pleasantries with the maintenance man, grabbed Abbey and disappear out the room while he went to fix your pipe. Eric went back to typing his report and was nearly done when you came back into the bedroom. The maintenance man was done fixing your pipe and had called you back into your room. Eric, watch you as you walked in holding Abbey. It did not go unnoticed to Eric that the maintenance man was glaring at your ass as you bend forward to put Abbey in her seat and buckle her in.

Eric frowned as you both held a conversation. You laughed at something the man said and you touched one of his shoulders as you continued laughing. What was so damn funny? Eric thought as he watched you on his tablet. His anger started to build up as he watched you on the screen. Were you flirting? Eric, watch you cock your head to the side and twirl on a loose strand of your hair. Son of a bitch! You were fuckin flirting with the man. Eric jumped up from his desk to head to your apartment when Max walked in without knocking. Eric quickly pressed the home button on his tablet to hide the live image of your bedroom.

"Eric, here is the paperwork I need. Look over them, sign them and bring them to my office."

Fuck!

Eric needed to get to your apartment before the maintenance man left.

"Sure." Eric took the paperwork and started to review and sign. When he was done, he turned on his tablet and saw that the man was gone. You were getting undress for the bath you tried to take earlier. He decided he would address you later when he figured out how to bring up the topic without alerting you to his camera. However, the maintenance man was a different story. Everyone at Dauntless knew you were his and off limits. After turning in the papers to Max, Eric headed to the maintenance wing.

Eric stomped into the maintenance office and demanded to see the man who fixed your pipe earlier.

"That's Ray and he has gone home for the day." Ray's boss told him. "Can I help you with something sir?"

"You can tell me his apartment number."

"May I ask why?"

Eric did not respond but just glared until Ray's boss reluctantly gave him the answer he wanted.

Ray had just sat down with a sandwich when he got a text alert from his boss stating Eric Coulter was on his way to his apartment.

"Shit!" Ray muttered. Why did he take the maintenance call to your apartment earlier? He knew why, he wanted to see you up close and personal. Everyone in Dauntless knew of the initiate who had two of Dauntless elites fighting over her and eventually giving birth to Leader Coulter's daughter. Ray had seen you around from afar but he needed to see what was so special about you. He received his answer as soon as you opened your apartment door to him and smiled up at him. You were beautiful and he could not help check you out as he followed you to your room. Eric was definitely a lucky man and Ray knew just being within a few feet of you he could be risking his life. Ray slammed his sandwich on its plate as he heard a set of loud banging at his door. Ray swung the door open to an irate Eric.

"Can I help you?" Ray asked Eric perturbed.

"I don't want you ever stepping foot in Y/N's apartment again." Eric seethed.

"What the hell are you talking about? I was doing my job and if I get another call I will go and do my job." Ray snapped not backing down. Eric glared at Ray and Ray saw Eric's eyes turn deadly. Ray knew right then that he was a fool to try to challenge Eric.

"Do you have any idea what I am capable of? You do not look or speak to her ever again. Do you understand me?!"

"Are you threatening me?"

An evil smile played on Eric's lips. "Do I look like a man who threatens?" Ray realized Eric was not a man who threatens but does exactly what he says he was going to do. Eric Coulter was capable of anything. "Do I? Eric asked again stepping closer to Ray. Ray took a step back. Wow you must be the Hope Diamond for Eric to threaten a stranger to stay away from you Ray thought. Now his interest was really peaked about you.

"You got it Leader Coulter. I will not step foot in Y/N's apartment or even look at her." Ray said to appease the angry Dauntless leader.

"Oh, and keep her name out your mouth." Eric snapped before walking away. Ray smiled to himself as he shut his apartment door. Maybe just maybe he might take the next service request he sees for your apartment.

---

You had just put Eric's plate on the table when he walked in. You knew instantly he was in a pissy mood.

He glanced over at you and headed straight for his daughter. As usual when he is in a pissed off mood he didn't speak to you. Well you will not speak to him then. You decided you will eat your lunch in your room. You didn't want to be around him when he was in a foul mood. You were just tired and did not have the energy to deal with him.

"Where are you going?" Eric asked as he sat down at the table and saw you head toward your room with your plate.

"To my room." You replied as you continued to your room.

"Come sit with me." It wasn't a demand but an invite. That was a first. You turned around and sat across from him at your table. You both ate in silence for a few moments as you both listen to Abbey's string of gurgles and oohs and ahhs. Eric looked down at his daughter caressing her cheek. You liked that Eric had pulled the baby seat next to him at the table. He wanted to be near his daughter. You watched him as his mood from earlier faded away as he leaned over and kissed Abbey.

"I saw that you had a maintenance request today." He stated looking up from Abbey to you.

"Yes I did." You told him as you stuffed your mouth with mash potatoes not offering him any more explanation.

"What needed to be fixed?"

You put down your fork and looked over at Eric. The tone of his voice was off. This was not just small talk. He was up to something.

"After I had filled the tub for a bath the sink started to make strange noises in the pipes. When I turned the water on it went everywhere. Ray fixed it in no time."

You saw Eric's lips curl with disgust at the name Ray. Was he jealous?

"Oh, you on a first name basis with the maintenance man?" he asked with a slight scowl on his face.

He was jealous.

"Are you upset over Ray being in my apartment? Eric, you can't get upset over someone coming in my apartment to fix something for me. Hell, you can't be mad at anyone coming into my apartment period. This is my apartment."

Eric started to argue and you held your hand up to stop him.

"You know I will pack Abbey's and my shit up in a heartbeat and move out." You glared at him, challenging him. Eric decided not to argue as he knew you would do exactly what you said you would do. Without another word to one another you both went back to eating and finished your meals in silence. As you wash dishes Eric sat and held his daughter before leaving back for work.

You were so engrossed in cleaning and straightening your kitchen you didn't hear Eric when he walked up to you. When you turned around to find him standing behind you, you nearly jumped out of your skin. You looked up at him not saying a word.

"I might be home late tonight."

You nodded and returned to your task.

"Will I get another picture of you if it gets too late?"

You turned back to him and shook your head no. "You know who you have waiting for you."

Eric's fingers caressed your cheek.

"Indeed I do." He said softly before planting a soft kiss on your lips. You were almost derailed and fought the urge to just climb him right where you both stood. The affect he had on you will always amaze you. You stood in the kitchen and watch him leave. You stood staring at the door contemplating conceding when he comes home tonight. You physically and mentally could not take it anymore. You needed him. Plain and simple. Abbey's whimpers brought you out of your thoughts as you rushed to your baby girl.

---

You gently laid your angel in her crib for the night and checked around her princess theme room to make sure she would have everything she needed to keep her comfortable. You chuckled to yourself as you thought back on the argument you and Eric had about Abbey's bedroom theme. Of course, you won. If it was up to Eric her room would be dark colors with the Dauntless symbol decorating her walls.

You cut on her night light, you checked off the list in your head to make sure she would be comfortable as you did every night when you realized she did not have her monitor. You quickly rushed to your bedside and grabbed one of the pair of baby monitors and turned it on. You looked over at the teddy bear Angelina had gave Abbey and decided to put it in her room. You had become fond of the soft, pink teddy bear but it would look better in Abbey's room and it really did not go with your décor. You sat the baby monitor down as you grabbed the teddy bear and you heard a faint whirring sound. What the fuck was that? You sat the teddy bear back on the shelf to see if you heard the faint noise again. You looked around your room and you heard it again. Your head jerked to the teddy bear as you realized it was the source of the sound. What was that noise?

You grabbed the stuff animal and turned it around to look at its back. Maybe it was a talking bear and had batteries. You never did really check the bear once Eric put it on the bookcase in your room.

There was no opening for a set of batteries. You knew that sound came from the bear. You picked up the baby monitor and grabbed the teddy bear you were about to cut it open to see what the hell was that noise when you heard a loud feedback from the baby monitor.

What the…

You moved the monitor to the stuff bear again to hear more feedback. As you stood looking at the bear confused it finally clicked that it was a camera. Eric had nanny cam you! Who the fuck did he think he was to do that?! Did he think you could not take care of your child? You sat the bear back on the shelf and stepped away from the bear to not reveal any further that you knew about the camera. He did say it was a gift from his mom. Was this on her? No. You knew the father of your child. This was all him. You grabbed your tablet along with the baby monitor and texted Jen when you went to the nursery.

For now on walk around in your underwear or nothing at all whenever Abbey is asleep. He will be begging for you in no time.

Jen's text read. You found what she said amusing but it bothered you that he needed to have a camera in your room. Did he think you were still sleeping with Four? You had to think of something that would drive Eric insane. Wait you needed to back up. Could you handle Eric's wrath right now? You sat on the bed in Abbey's room and thought long and hard. You would not dare bring Four into your bedroom because you did not love him in that way anymore and you certainly wanted to live to see your daughter grow up. You looked down at your tablet when you heard the text alert.

Remember that toy party we and the other girls had right before you found out you were pregnant?

Jen's text read.

Yes.

You still have what you brought?

Yes.

Have your mom keep Abbey tonight. You get naked and use that toy on yourself. You know he will be watching and trust me he will be at your door in seconds. Challenge won!

Your friend was an evil genius. When your mom arrived you made sure she came into your room holding Abbey and told you that she will bring her back in the morning.

You walked your mom to the door and as you shut the door behind her you changed the entry code. After a few moments you heard your tablet alert in your room.

What are you doing?

It was Eric. Could he be any more obvious?

About to take a bath and lay down. What are you doing?

Working. What else would I be doing? What is Abbey doing?

You turned your back to the camera to hide your smirk.

She is spending the night with mom.

So you let my daughter stay the night with your mom without talking with me first?

You ignored his last text and made sure he saw you put the tablet on the nightstand. Eric mumbled a few curse words under his breath and sat the tablet on a stand next to his computer so he can view your bedroom at all times.

Eric started typing a report for Max when he noticed movement in his peripheral vision on his tablet. You had peeled off your boy shorts, tank top and stood in your underwear while digging for something in one of your drawers. Eric abruptly stopped typing as he watches you pulled out a phallus shaped object. What the fuck? Eric's mouth fell open as you sat the object on the bed and peeled off your bra and panties. Eric swallowed hard as he looked at your naked body. You were absolutely beautiful. You slowly crawled in the middle of your bed giving Eric a good view of your ample ass. You laid on your back, spread your legs, gently pulled your lips apart and rubbed your clit with your index finger to get your juices flowing for your toy. In a matter of seconds you were wet, you grabbed the toy, pressed the button for vibration, spread your legs wider and slowly eased the toy in your pussy. You moaned as the feeling of being filled felt so good. The toy wasn't Eric but it would have to do for now. You hoped by the end of the night Eric would be inside you. You started to squirm as you pumped the vibrator

inside you. Eric sat frozen staring at the screen. It was intoxicating watching you pleasure yourself as well as pure torture. As Eric cock started to strain against his pants he decided he could not take the need for you anymore. Fuck the gotdamn challenge. Eric at times can be a patient man if he wanted too but he had just run out of patience with you. He did not have an ounce left in him. He was going straight to your apartment and fuck you. Eric quickly shut down his computer, grabbed his tablet and earphones. He did not need anyone hearing your moans as he made his way to your apartment. Eric literally sprinted down the halls as he continued watching you pleasure yourself on his tablet screen. If anyone was in his way they moved quickly out of his way.

Your moans became louder as you pumped the vibrator in and out of your wet pussy. Your climax hit hard and as your eyes rolled in the back of your head and you knew just at that moment what to do to give Eric a taste of his own medicine. As the juices flowed from your body and your walls grabbed onto the vibrator tighter you screeched out Four's name. Eric stopped dead in his tracks when he heard you call out Four's name. He watched as you came down from your orgasm, sat up in the bed, looked straight at the teddy bear, lick your lips and smirked. You knew! You fuckin knew about the camera! You bitch! He was going to fuck you up when he gets to your apartment. He was glad Abbey was spending the night with your mom. You were fucking with him and he did not like it.

You had just put your underwear back on when you heard the sound of the keypad and knew it was Eric. You rushed up to the door as a smile of satisfaction displayed on your face as you heard the loud error beep from him entering the code. You were glad you had changed the code earlier. You heard a string of curse words through the door.

"Y/N!" He screamed through the door.

"What?" You yelled back.

"Open this fuckin door!"

"No!" You stifled a giggle. You frowned when you heard him retreat from your door.

Oh fuck! There was no way Eric would give up that easy.

You went back into your bedroom to throw on some lounge clothes when you heard a loud banging at your door. You threw your clothes on the bed and ran to the front door in your bra and panties.

What in the fuck!

You realized Eric was smashing the code box with something. Before you could type in the code to unlock the door, Eric kicked it in almost hitting you with the door. His eyes were a blazed with fury. You looked down at his right hand and saw a hammer. He literally smashed the code box to get your door open. The door slammed shut behind him as Eric charged to you.

"Eric! What the-" Eric dropped the hammer, grabbed you by your legs and flung you across his shoulder as if you weighed nothing. You kicked and pounded on his back yelling for him to put you down. Eric threw you on the couch. You scrambled in a sitting position as Eric glared down at you.

"You think you're being fuckin funny?!" Eric leaned over getting in your face.

"What are you talking about?" Trying your best innocence act.

"Oh you want to act dumb now. You know what the fuck I'm talking about." Eric roared at you.

"I have no idea what you are talking about Eric. Spill it out!" You shouted at him.

"Did you know about the camera when the maintenance man came to fix the pipes? Were you trying to make me jealous or just acting like a whore."

Your body instinctively jerked at the word 'whore' and you hauled back and slapped him across his face.

"You son of a bitch!" You moved to slap him again when he grabbed your wrists. You began kicking him, causing him to lose his balance and fall backwards on your coffee table with you on top of him.

The wooden table did not stand a chance under both of your weight and shattered to pieces. You were undeterred by the coffee table and took the opportunity when Eric let go of your wrist to punch him in the mouth.

Eric quickly rolled you over and pinned your hands to the floor. You winced as pieces of shattered wood dug into your back, your butt and the back of your thighs. You both were breathing heavy glaring at each other. Staring into his beautiful blue eyes and his weight on top of you caused your core to clench and you instinctively licked your lips which caused a primal growl to escape Eric's lips just before crashing his lips down on yours. Eric's tongue probed your mouth deeply, exploring your entire mouth. As he kissed you one of his hands dug into the wooden shards to support himself as he used his other hand to unbutton his pants. He pulled from your mouth and pulled his pants and boxers down to reveal his massive hard on.

Eric pulled at your underwear and with one strong jerk ripping them off causing you to yelp. That will leave a sight burn mark on your waist bone. You squirmed under him in anticipation.

"Don't you dare fuckin move!"

"Tell me you want me. Tell me you need me!" You moaned as you lifted up to lick and then bite his neck. Eric shook his head no in defiance. You started to push him off you.

"Y/N! Don't!" Eric's voice was full of lust as he grabbed your hips to keep you in place. Eric took his time and slowly took in every single curve on your splendid body. As he watched you a simple moan escaped the back of your throat and Eric knew at that moment you had the power to make him beg for you.

"Eric! Tell me you want me!" You grabbed one of his hands and put it on your hot and wet pussy. Eric groaned as he inserted two of his fingers inside you. Your walls gripped his fingers and you let out a loud moan deep in your throat and when he looked into your eyes you saw in his that he had finally conceded.

"If you want this pussy Eric tell me you want me and you need me." You demanded refusing to back down.

"Fuck! Fuck!" Eric cursed as he buried his face in your neck. "I need you!" He mumbled against your neck before biting down sending shivers up and down your body.

"What? I can't hear you?!" You gasped with a smile playing on your lips. Eric lifted up and looked you deep in your eyes. His eyes were blazed with fire, his skin flushed as his need and desire for you threaten to spill all over you without him even being inside you. His jaw clenched as his eyes bore deep into yours.

"I need you Y/N. I want you." Eric finally admitted his voice full of need.

"Challenge won." You smiled up at him. Eric growled as he pulled back and in one swift motion filled you to the hilt. You let out a small cry of pleasure with slight pain. The sensation of being stretched so wide almost sent you into an instant orgasm.

You forgot how full he always made you feel. It was a feeling you vowed never to deny yourself again.

"I'm going to fuck that smile off your face!" His voice a deep baritone filled with lust.

"Bring it!" You challenged as you spread your legs wider for your man, your walls tightening and gripping him, pulling him even deeper inside you. Eric beat your walls hard as he could. It had been way to long without you he thought as his thrust quicken and became harder.

"Fuck you are so tight!" Eric groaned. "How can you be so tight after just having my baby?" Eric pumped deep into you as you leaned up into his ear and purred. "I will always be tight, right and ready for you Eric." Your teeth clamped on the barbell in his right earlobe and pulled gently as you nipped it. Hearing you say you would always be ready for him stirred something inside Eric causing him to push in even further inside you and to show just how tight you were your walls grabbed his thick cock. You were awarded with a string of moans and groans of pleasure with a few curse words in between. Smacking sounds and heavy breathing filled the living room.

"Come for me Y/N." Eric whispered in your ear as he reached down and pulled on your hood piercing and rubbed your harden nub. The combination of him telling you to come and his fingers on your clit sent you over the edge and you felt the ripples of your orgasm seize you. Your nails dug into Eric's muscular back and you knew it would leave a mark even though he still had on his black t-shirt.

Eric knew you were coming as you became even wetter and more slippery.

You literally screamed his name as you came. Your eyes began to water as you rode out your orgasm. Lifting one of your legs for deeper access Eric's frantic thrusts let you know he was on the verge of coming. You watched with excitement and pleasure as Eric's eyes rolled in the back of his head and his body shuddered. You were thrilled you still had this power over him. As Eric came with each spasm he shot loads of cum deep within you. Tears rolled down the side of your face as he collapsed on you causing your skin to dig deeper into the broken wood. You barley noticed the pain as you silently cried. You were happy and content. Eric lifted up after he caught his breath and looked at you. He knew your tears were not tears of sadness. Without a word he leaned down and kissed and licked them away. Eric's mouth moved to your lips and he softly pulled on your bottom lip giving it a little nip with his teeth. Neither of you had the need to say anything to one another as Eric kissed your lips and made his way to your collar bone. You moaned as you felt him become hard again inside you. You bucked up toward him ready for round two when he slowly pulled out of you. Eric rose from you and sat on the couch, took off his boots, pulled his pants and boxers off his body. He stood up and took off his shirt as you laid spent on the shattered coffee table ruins. He really laid it on you. You gazed up at him as he stood looking down at you. He was breathtaking as his cock swung up, vein-covered and hard. He reached his hand out to you and you grabbed it tightly as he lifted you off the floor with ease. As your adrenaline subsided a little, the pain from the coffee table began to stab at your back. Noticing the frown on your face Eric turned you around and brushed off any wood shards from your back. He leaned over and licked and kissed each bruise he saw. You closed you eyes and focused on how good his tongue and lips felt on your back.

"Take off your bra and go to the arm of the couch." Eric instructed. "I'm not nearly done with you."

You unclasped your bra and let it drop to your feet as you moved to the arm of the couch as he told you to.

"Bend over."He ordered. You did as you were told.

As you arched your back to him Eric stood behind you and gazed at your plumped ass. Eric smacked your ass and watch as it jiggled. You started to squirm in anticipation for him. What was he waiting for? You turn to get a look at him and saw that he stood frozen behind you. To tease him you started to shake your ass for him. His eyes were entranced with your ass and hips. You knew your post- baby body shape was going to give him a run for his money. You wanted Eric all of him and you knew you would be able to handle whatever he threw your way. Eric leaned over and kissed your tattoo on the small of your back just before he drove into you.

"My God I can't get in you deep enough!" Eric moaned. "I just can't."Eric growled louder as he pushed himself into you deeper. It still was not deep enough for him. You pushed back on him as you felt droplets of his sweat sting at the small scratches from the coffee table on your back as Eric continued his manic thrusts.

Eric's fingers grabbed a fist full of your hair and pulled you up to look back at him. The look on your face of pure seduction, want and the look that you knew you had complete power over him made Eric come immediately. He let go of your hair and grabbed your hips.

"Fuck!" Eric growled as a hard wave of orgasm gripped his body causing him to shudder so hard he lost his senses for a few moments. When his mind cleared he realized that he had never hit an orgasm so hard as he just did with you. Eric slowly withdrew and just stood motionless as he watch you lift from the couch, turn around and look at him with a small smile playing on your lips. You were handling every bit he was throwing at you and your body was hungry for more.

"Are you okay Eric?" You asked playfully looking at him as you bit your bottom lip and your eyes slowly trailed down to his cock which sprung back to life. Not answering Eric grabbed you by your ass and hoist you up to straddle him. You held on tight as he took you to your bedroom.

Eric threw you in the middle of the bed and climbed on top. You spread your legs eagerly as he position himself on top of you. Eric caught sight of the vibrator in his peripheral vision lying beside you.

Eric lunges for it and throws it against the wall where it shatters.

"You don't need that shit when you have me!" Eric roared at you as he turned yet another shade of red. This shade was anger not lust. "You better not let anything touch your pussy but me." You loved getting this reaction out of him. Eric grabbed your chin, his nails digging into your skin. "Look at me!" You looked up into his eyes that were now filled with a mantic look of lust. "No more stupid toys! Do you understand me?" You wrapped your legs around him pulling him into you. "Yes I understand. Now can you shut the hell up and fuck me!" You demanded as you bucked up to him to get your point across. Your authoritative tone gave Eric a slight pause as he looked at your beautiful face. Now you had a lazy sexy grin on your face as you were waiting to see if he would do as he was told. It took a few seconds but Eric did as he was told.

Eric grunted loudly as he propels in and out of you with all his strength and you greedily accepted him.

"You going to fuckin say his name when you come! There is only one man's name you should say in ecstasy and that is mine! You only think of me!" Eric growled as he pulled out and pushed all the way in hitting your cervix. You accepted all of him as you clawed at his muscular back.

"Top…..Erriiicc…tooppppp." You barely got out in a moan.

"You want to be on top?" Eric asked as sweat droplets splashed on your cheekbones and lips, you instinctively licked his salty sweat.

"Are you sure? Eric asked mid thrust. You frowned at his lack of confidence in you. You were the one he was begging for moments earlier.

Eric didn't receive a verbal response from you only the nodding of your head. He quickly and efficiently rolled you on top of him. You grabbed Eric's shoulders, lifted up and slid your drenched pussy down onto his strain, hard dick further. It took almost all of Eric's strength to keep himself from rolling you over and fucking you again. You pulled up to his engorged tip and hovered for just a few seconds. The look in Eric's eyes told you it was seconds too long. So, you slid back down on him, your walls grabbing him more like a fist as you eased down.

As you rode him, Eric watches your breast bounce and jiggled with each of your movements. Eric grabbed them and lifted up to feast on them. Eric's tongue flicked and nipped at one of your nipples and you felt the rush of milk surge through your breast. Before you could warn him a gush of milk filled his tongue and without missing a beat Eric swallowed and continued devouring your nipples even though milk was dripping from them. If he didn't care, you didn't care.

"Eric look at me." You wanted to see his handsome face. He was flusher now dangerously close to crimson.

Your thick thighs pressed to his sides soaking them with your juices. Looking deep into his eyes you continued to ride Eric as hard as you could. You could not get enough of him. Your thighs squeezed Eric's side tighter as he pumped up deep inside you as your pussy suctioned his dick.

The raw need and desire for him stung at every fiber of your being as your moans and groans grew louder.

You came with such intensity your whole body convulsed and your nails dug into his chest scratching down his muscular pecs drawing blood.

"Fuck Y/N!" He growled as he felt the slight pain of your scratches. You held your head back as the wave of pleasure coursed through your body. Juices flowed and for good measure your breast started to leak even more milk. When you opened your eyes and looked down at Abbey's father you saw pure awe in his eyes. He lifted up and caressed your face and your skin tingled under his touch. You smiled at Eric and told him to lay back down. Eric laid back down and you leaned over and buried your face in his neck, sucking and biting his skin. You lifted to remove him from inside you and straddled him to have better movement as you began to kiss, lick, suck and bite down from his neck down his body. Eric would inhale sharply whenever you bit down on him a little harder than he was anticipating but he never complained or told you to stop. About the time you got down to his rock hard abs he was hard again. You spread Eric legs and began to lick every inch of his cock tasting yourself before taking it all in your mouth letting the tip tickle your tonsils.

"Dammit Y/N! What the fuck has gotten into you?" Eric asked as he sat up on his elbows and looked at you working him. You looked up at him and answered him by sucking harder. Eric literally clutched the sheets as you sucked him harder and massaged his balls. You started to tease him as you would go slow and deep with a tickle of your tongue on his tip and then you were fast and super wet as spit began to drip down his dick and thighs. Watching you work him, taking him in deeper and sucking harder Eric could not hold back and began to thrust upwards right before he exploded in your mouth. You swallowed all of him and sat up with another beautiful, sexy smile on your face. Eric was speechless as you kissed back up his body and snuggled on top of him. Eric's arms swallowed you as he regulated his breathing. Laying his arms you started to become sleepy. As his fingers gently rubbed up and down your back you started to doze off. You were asleep for a good five minutes when you felt a hard slap on your ass.

"Ouch! Eric!" You shouted startled and more pissed because you were in a deep sleep.

"Go take a shower." He ordered. You looked up at his handsome face trying to shake out of your haze. "Babe, go take a shower." He repeated. Did he just call you babe?! He never called you that. That term of endearment definitely brought you out of your sleeping haze.

"Why?" You asked. It was pretty obvious as you both were covered and sticky from sweat, breast milk, your juices and his cum.

Eric leaned up to you and his long tongue darted out and licked your lips. "Cause I want to fuck you with my mouth and I want you clean." He explained as his tongue danced along your lips. You open your mouth to his tongue. You both kissed long and passionately until Eric pulled his lips from you causing you to pout.

"Go get cleaned up." He told you again before smacking your ass again a little harder than before causing you to shiver as the familiar feeling of a sharp pain followed by pleasure engulfed you.

"Why did you have a nanny cam in my room Eric? Do you not trust me?" You decided to finally ask.

Eric took a moment to answer and you waited patiently for his answer as your fingers caressed his chest. "Yes, I trust you. I don't trust other people and I thought it was a way I could watch and protect you."

Either he thought Four would end up back in your bed or maybe someone would try to hurt you and Abbey. You thought as you looked up at Eric and found your fingers caressing his cheek. You knew your baby's father was very controlling and dominant so should you really be surprised at what he did, thinking he would still have control when he was not physically with you. Not a necessary physical control over you but a need to have control of a situation, surrounding and a need to protect you and his child.

"If anything would happen to me or Abbey a camera in my bedroom would not have helped the situation." You told him.

"I had plan on putting cameras in the other rooms." He confessed.

"My God Eric what would you have done if I actually had Four in my bed?" You asked as you lazily looked over his naked body, your fingers went back to caressing his chest before looking up waiting for his answer. Eric face was stone cold and you saw the flash of anger in his eyes. You should not have mentioned Four. You started to get up but Eric stopped you and surprisingly despite his anger at the mentioning of Four, leaned over and softly kissed your lips before answering.

"I probably would have killed you both."

His answer did not surprise you and you knew he was dead serious. You kept gazing at him.

"Did you expect a different answer?" He asked his pierced eyebrow arched.

"No actually I didn't." You told him as you got up from the bed and went into your bathroom.

As you walked out the bathroom freshly cleaned, you found Eric sitting up in bed. Eric watched your naked form walk up to the bed. Your body will always put him in a hypnotic state. Eric laid down in the bed as you crawled in.

"Turn around and straddle me." He told you.

"What?"

"Turn around where your fine ass is in my face." He instructed again.

You turned around, your back facing Eric and straddled him.

"Scoot up."

You rested your arms on each side of his legs and scooted your ass closer to his face. Eric laid back and moved your pulsing lips over his face.

"That's it." He whispered as he smelled your clean pussy. Eric moaned as he grabbed your hips. You instinctively spread your legs apart and whimpered as Eric lifted his face in your pussy lips giving it a long lick with his tongue. A feral growl escaped your lips feeling his hot tongue on you. Eric's tongue darted out and flicked your clit in short and then long strong strokes. Your body started to shake with desire. Eric licked your barbell hood sucking it in his mouth and pulling it between his teeth just enough to get your juices to flow and drip down your thighs and onto his face. Eric open his mouth wide and took you whole in his mouth and sucked your juices away before he went back to licking you lips and clit with a destructive rhythm. Eric ate you like you were his favorite fruit and to him you were his favorite fruit. In a matter of seconds you came hard and fast. You were trying to catch your breath when Eric literally picked up your limp body still recovering from your orgasm, turned you around to face the head of the bed and he positioned himself behind you.

"Lift up and grab the head board."

You lifted up on all fours ready for him no matter how exhausted you were. You really needed sleep but since he woke you up from your five-minute slumber and caused your body to sing with your recent climax you were ready. He was not going to get the best of you.

"I said grab the head board Y/N. You are going to need it."

You let out a light chuckle. "Oh really?"

"Grab the fuckin headboard." He growled. Your hands grabbed the head board just as he drove himself into you.

"Ahhhhh….Eric!"

"I told you!" He said in satisfaction as he slid his dick in and out of you hard and fast. Eric looked down and loved watching his cock thrust in your engorged and wet center. He was surprised yet again as you grabbed the head board tighter and met every one of his thrust he gave you with a harder pounding. As you met each of his long hard strokes, his nails dug into your hips and he realized he created a beast and she was out tonight. You did not back down and met every one of his thrusts and you pushed back on his cock harder than he was pushing into you. What the fuck! He thought as he was about to climax again. Raven never devoured him like you were doing. Hell, no woman he has been with has ever fucked him this hard. Eric thought as one more slam of you against his hips caused him to come so hard his nails scratched down your back drawing blood as his hold body quivered. It took a moment for Eric to catch his breath. When his breathing slowed down he pulled from you and gathered you in his arms.

"Damn woman." He whispered in your ear. You looked up at him and saw that his face was wet with your juices. You sat up.

"Go take a shower."You demanded.

"What?" Eric not sure he was hearing you.

"I know you love the way I taste and I will admit I do taste and smell awesome but you need a shower." You giggled a little.

"You know I'm not done with you." Eric told you as he got up from the bed.

"What makes you think I am done with you?" You countered. Eric mischievous smile sent chills down your spine.

"I think it's time to pull a couple of scarves out." He instructed before he went into your bathroom. You darted out the bed despite the dull ache that was between your legs. You pulled out two scarves. You could not wait to see what the rest of the night had in store. He thinks he would have you tied up to the bed. He might be in for a surprise.

---

You woke up the next morning to the smell of bacon. You were disoriented for a second as you tried to figure out why your apartment smelled of bacon. You reached over for Eric to find his side of the bed cold and empty. You rolled over and lifted your tablet to see the time. It was pass nine-thirty and you had not slept this late since having Abigail. Eric really wore you out. As you sat the tablet back on your nightstand you noticed a glass of water and two pain pills. You grabbed the pills and chased them down with the cool water. You braced yourself as you slowly crawled out of bed. Your body ached all over especially your center. You hope the meds will work fast.

"Breakfast!" You heard Eric call. How did he know you were up? Wait….Eric made breakfast? You slowly walked to the bathroom to freshen up and throw on some lounge clothes. Slowly shifting into the kitchen, you stopped at a standstill as you watch Eric put a plate of food on each end of the table. What the hell was going on? Eric rarely cooked for you. He did cook for you when you were recuperating from Raven's wrath and as soon as you were able to stand up and move around he had stopped.

"Are you working today? It's Saturday?" You asked noticing he was dressed.

"I always work. You know that. Now sit."

You looked at the hard wood seating that made up your chairs at your table set. There was no way you would be able to sit down without being in uncomfortable pain. Seeing your hesitation and discomfort Eric grabbed a pillow off the couch.

"Did you take the pain pills?" He asked as he put the pillow on the chair for you. You nodded yes as you slowly sat down. You shyly looked up at Eric as you were always slightly embarrassed to physically show just how much he had ravished your body. A slight smile of amusement caressed his lips as he knew you were embarrassed. You had no idea how hard it was for him to get up this morning as well. Eric was used to working his muscles with exercise and sex and expected a little soreness but for the first time in his life someone had fucked him into another stratosphere and his body screamed with every movement. Eric always knew you had a tiger inside you but he had to admit you shocked him last night and he was not easily shocked. You had pulled out your claws and showed exactly what you were made of. It was a complete contrast to the shy woman in front of him now.

As he watched you eat he found it a humorous that you had no idea the deeper imprint you left on his very existence. Yes, you won the challenge and he knew you found joy in that victory but last night became more than some stupid challenge to him. You swallowed him whole last night. Your essence, your soul, your very being and he could not get enough of you. The very thought of him ever losing you caused him pause and frighten him. The feeling was worse than the night you were stabbed and he thought he lost you and his child or the pain he would never outwardly admit he felt when he saw how bad he hurt you when you found Mandy between his legs or when you went back to Four. So as usual he refused to dwell on any type of pain or feelings. He did what he did best, he compartmentalize the feeling and cause his own share of pain on someone. That is exactly what he did to you when he let Mandy play house with him. However all that changed as soon as he pulled his daughter into this world. You looked up at him and smiled causing his heart to pump harder in his chest. Eric as usual kept his face hard as stone successfully hiding the reaction of something as minute as your smile had on him. Eric knew he would never allow anyone to know they had any type of power over him and you certainly had a power over him. He already told you that you had his heart and he would not give you any hint that you had much more than that. You both ate in a comfortable silence. Eric was done eating before you and got up from the table.

"I'll have someone come and clean up the coffee table and bring another one." He told you looking away from your beautiful face to the mess on the living room floor.

"Thank you." You said barley above a whisper as your mind remembered the pieces of wood stabbing your back as he drove himself deep inside of you. Eric returned his gaze to you just as your body shivered at the memory.

"You cold?" He asked walking up to you.

"No. I'm fine." You looked up and your eyes wandered to the red bite marks and hickeys on his neck that aligned between his neck tattoo. You also saw your nail indents and scratches along his forearms.

Eric was about to respond when you both heard someone knock on your door.

"It's mom. Oh my God the table! The smash keypad!" How on earth were you going to explain that? Eric put his plate in the sink completely ignoring your current state of panic. You stood up from the table just as your mom used her backup key and walked in with Abbey.

"Y/N what happen to your-" Your mom abruptly stopped her question when she saw the smash coffee table and then she looked over at Eric. She narrowed her eyes at him as he walked up to her, kissed his daughter and walked out the door without a single word.

"Thanks mom for letting her spend the night." You took Abbey from your mom and sat her in her seat. You leaned over and kissed her face as you buckled her in.

"Is he beating you?" Your mom asked. You did not realize your shirt had ridden up your back as you were putting Abbey down. There was no way you could tell your mom that they were Eric's fingernail scratches, bites and bruises from the coffee table.

"No he is not." You told her hoping she would drop the subject. There was no way your mother would understand the type of intimate relationship you and Eric shared. If she saw you naked she would have a heart attack.

"The smash code box, the table and the bruises on your back states otherwise." You mom walked up to you as you gave Abbey another kiss, pulled up your shirt to inspect your back.

"Oh my God!" she gasps when she saw the scratches, bite marks and bruising. You quickly turned around.

"Mom don't flip out it's nothing."

"What kind of animal is he?"

"He is not an animal mom. Just drop it please."

Dara was not going to argue with you. She just could not believe you, her daughter would let a man put his hands on you like that. Did you not care about the safety of your daughter? She will have to call your father. He will be able to talk some sense into you and maybe confront Eric. Though her husband was Abnegation and would not dream of confronting anyone this was his daughter. Her husband would never allow anyone to hurt his daughter. Dara quickly gave her daughter and granddaughter a kiss and told you to call her when you need her. You smiled at your mom relieved she dropped the subject.

"Love you mom." You called to her as she was leaving.

"I love you too sweetheart."

As soon as Dara was back at her apartment she dialed her husband Bryan.

You had just got out of a hot bath when you heard a knock at the door. You wrapped yourself in a towel, pulled Abbey with you and answered the door. It was two guys carrying a coffee table.

"Oh hi. Right this way." You moved to the side to let them in.

They both hesitantly looked at each other before they walked into your apartment. Before shutting the door you heard a beeping sound outside your door. You stuck your head out to find Ray fixing your code box.

"Hey Ray!"

Ray looked over at you and noticing you in just a towel, quickly nodded his head to you and focused back on his work. What did Eric say to him you pondered as you grabbed Abbey out her seat. You pass by the two guys as they cleaned up the wooden pieces and threw them in a heavy-duty trash bag. Neither one of them dared to look up at you. Yep, Eric definitely said something to all of them. It pissed you off a little but he was Eric and you knew how he was. There was no point in bringing up the subject with him.

---

You woke up the next morning in a perfect spooning position naked with Eric holding you tight. You were sleep when he got home last night. You knew he must be tired but he got up whenever Abbey woke up for her feedings. He fed his daughter from the bottles of milk you had pumped earlier and stored in the fridge. When she went back to sleep Eric crawled back into the bed and you both fucked hard and fast. Abbey woke up about three times last night and each time Eric crawled back in bed you both were back at it. You knew you were sore and needed rest but you could not help and moved your ass against him a little to tease him. Eric stirred awake and you immediately felt him become hard. You rubbed against him some more and he softly growled in your ear.

"You teasing me woman?" He whispered in your ear, voice deep and thick from sleep. You answered him by rubbing against him more. Within seconds Eric was inside you. You moaned in ecstasy as he slowly moved in and out of you.

"Y/N!" A voice called you from the living room.

You and Eric froze when you heard your father call your name.

"Oh my God! What is my dad doing here?!"

You started to get up but Eric stopped you by pulling you tighter to his hard body.

"He can wait." Eric growled as he pounded in you harder and you had to bite your lip to keep from moaning.

"Dad give me a minute!" You yelled, hoping he heard you.

"Oh God!" You gasped with pleasure as Eric's movement quicken and his fingers reached over and found your clit. Your walls tighten around Eric's cock and he knew you were about to come. Just as an orgasm seized your body Eric quickly removed his hand from your clit and clamped it over your mouth to keep your cries of passion to a minimum. He grunted quietly as his orgasm hit him. You both laid still for a few moments as both your bodies slowly receded from the high of both your orgasms.

Eric slowly pulled out of you and you quickly got up to find something suitable to wear in your front of your dad. You rushed out to meet your dad when you stopped short when you saw the look on his face.

"What's wrong dad?"

"Eric's been beating you?"

"No dad! What makes you think that?" As soon as you asked the question you remember what your mom saw yesterday.

"Your mom told me about all the bruises you had on you and the broken coffee table." Your father was shaking he was so upset.

"They are not from Eric beating me. I told mom that." You explained. Your father didn't believe you.

"Where is he?! I know he is here. Eric Coulter!"

"Dad! Stop."

"Eric get out here!" Your dad yelled.

You heard Eric move around in your room and shortly after he walked in the living room with a t-shirt and lounge pants on. He had a complete bored and uninterested look on his face.

"Are you putting your hands on my daughter?" Bryan got up in Eric's face.

"Y/N I suggest you tell your father to get out of my face." Eric crossed his arms across his chest and Bryan notice the scratches on his arms.

"Those scratches on his arms from you trying to defend yourself?" Your father asked you looking away from Eric to you.

"No." You simply answered.

You pulled your dad by the arm away from Eric.

"Dad look at me." Bryan's angry eyes return to Eric. "Dad! Look at me." You shouted to get his attention. Your father finally looked at you. "Dad, you have to trust in the person you raised. I would never let a man put his hands on me without my permission. Eric would never hurt me."

"Then explain to me your bruising and broken furniture?" Your father was getting exasperated as he looked over at Eric again who decided to make himself a cup of coffee not at all bothered by the situation you were dealing with.

"Dad. I am a grown woman. Eric has done nothing to me that I DID NOT want him too." You emphasized hoping he would finally understand. You saw when it clicked with your father what you were trying to explain. His mouth fell open and then quickly shut. You saw a flicker of disgust display on his face.

"How could you let him do that to you? A man does not do something like that to someone he loves…not the mother of his child." Bryan made a point to look over at Eric who was not paying him any attention. "A man would never do his wife like this in Abnegation. You are Abnegation. You know better." Your father brought his attention back to you.

"She is not Abnegation. She is Dauntless." Eric corrected your father not looking over at either of you.

"What are you doing child?" Your father asked you his voice lowered.

"Again, dad I need you to understand nothing is going on that I do not want." You reiterated. You saw sadness and disappointment in your father's eyes. He could not believe you would allow a man to do what Eric was doing to you and you did not mind. What happen to his little girl? You were upset you disappointed your father but you were a grown woman now and your intimate relationship with Eric was none of your parent's business. Your dad looked over at Eric again who was leaning against the counter drinking his cup of coffee finally looking at you and your father. Your father sighed in defeat and asked to see his granddaughter. You took him to Abbey's room and let him spend time with her. You walked back into the kitchen to find Eric putting his empty mug in the sink.

"Never have your dad come at me like that again." Eric warned you as he walked up to you.

You looked up at Eric. He was pissed. Wow he really held himself together in front of your father.

"You would have done the same for Abbey. Hell, Eric you would probably kill anyone who even looks in her direction when she gets older."

Eric didn't argue because he knew you were right. He went back to your bedroom and shut the door to avoid your father. He could only hold back his anger for so long and he did not want to hurt your father.

As your father left you gave him a hug and you felt him stiffen in your embrace. Again, you felt sadness as you figured you really disappointed him and he would never look at you the same again. You sighed as you shut the door behind him. You remember your dad was disappointed when he found out you were pregnant but today his eyes showed a level of disappointment you don't think you could ever redeem yourself from.

"Is he gone?" Eric asked walking back into the living room.

"Yes." You answered as your eyes turned red from tears threatening to fall. Eric swiftly walked up to you and cupped your face.

"Don't you dare cry. You don't owe anyone an explanation for anything. Not even your parents." He scolded you.

"It's my dad Eric. God only knows what he thinks of me…you."

"I don't give a rat's ass what he thinks of me. You are Dauntless not Abnegation. You are my woman….not his little girl anymore. Do you understand me?"

"Yes." Eric wiped a tear that did escape one of your eyes before leaning over and kissing you making you forget the sadness you felt about your father.

A week later.

You almost teared up leaving Abbey with your mom on your first day back at work but it felt good to get out the apartment and be productive again at your job. You quickly fell back into routine with a little help from Jen when your work phone rung around lunch time.

You looked at the caller ID and smiled when you saw it was Eric.

"Hey!" You answered cheerfully.

"Come to my office." Eric snapped.

"What's wrong?" You asked alarmed.

"Get to my office now." Eric barked and then hung up. What the hell was wrong with him now?

"Where are you going?" Jen asked as you got up from your desk.

"Eric wants to see me."

Jen said nothing and returned back to work. You quickly walked to Eric's office. His receptionist looked up at you and smiled and said nothing as you knocked on his door.

"Enter." He yelled through the door.

You walked in shutting the door behind you. You found Eric sitting at his desk sifting through papers. He didn't look up when you entered or even acknowledge you were there.

"What do you want Eric?" You snapped not in the mood for his shenanigans. Eric's head snapped up with a frown of disapproval on his face.

"Since you have been out of work for some time you must have forgotten how chain of command works. I am your superior and you do not talk to me that way." He told you with irritation in his voice.

You let out an annoyed sigh and Eric jumped up from his desk and in a few steps was standing in front of you. He looked down at you searching your face. You looked up into his beautiful blue eyes. You both stood silent for a few moments looking at each other.

"What can I do for you Mr. Coulter?" You asked becoming a tad uncomfortable with the silence between you two. A small smirked played on Eric's lips as he reached over and unbutton your jeans.

"Eric what are you doing?"

Eric unzipped your jeans and pulled down your jeans along with your underwear.

"Step out of your jeans." He ordered as he went to lock his door.

"So you can have me half naked in your office but you disapprove of the way I speak to you." You observed as you stepped out of your jeans.

"I'm your superior. You do as I say. Now go up to my desk and stick out that nice ass for me."

Eric watched your every move as you leaned over his desk, making sure your plump ass was arched up in the air. You heard Eric walk up to you and heard the sounds of him unbuttoning and unzipping his black pants. You instantly became wet with anticipation. You felt Eric's large hands knead the warm flesh of your ass.

"You're already wet….damn." Eric whispered as he glides a finger inside you causing you to moan.

"Should that be a surprise Eric? What did I tell you before? I will always be ready for you."

A low chuckled escaped Eric's lips as he replaced his finger with his cock.

"Oh Eric…you feel sooo good." You sighed with pleasure as he slowly moved his cock in and out of your wet folds. Eric grabbed your waist as he started to pump in you faster and you heard his grunts with each hard stroke. You began to tremble as you felt your impending orgasm.

"Fuck Eric….oh God…that's my spot." You nearly screamed.

"I know." Eric said fucking you harder. You both were on the verge of coming when a piercing alarm screamed from his tablet. Eric stopped mid thrust.

"Fuck!" he growled and pulled out of you.

"No." You moaned in disappointment you were so close to release your nerves were screaming and your body was tight and your head was swimming. "No." You whined again as you turned around and found Eric still hard quickly pulling up his pants zipping and fastening them. Discomfort displayed on his face as his cock strained against his pants. Eric swiftly walked around his desk, picked up the tablet and read it. You grabbed your underwear and jeans and just as quickly as Eric pulled them on zipping and buttoning them. You understood his discomfort as your swollen lips rubbed against your underwear. You were also wet which was not a pleasant feeling. You will have to go wipe yourself and change your underwear before going back to work.

"Dammit!" He barked.

"What's wrong?" You asked startled by his outburst.

"I have to go. Some factionless are raising hell downtown." He told you as you smoothed your hair back for any strands that may have fallen out your bun.

"Will you be home for dinner?"

"I don't know Y/N. Go back to work. I have to get going."

You frowned as you followed him out of his office. You observed other Dauntless leaders leaving their offices. This must be serious. A lump formed in your throat as you thought of Eric being in any danger. Without a look back or even a good bye Eric sprinted down the hall with the other leaders. Shaking your head you headed to your apartment before returning to work.

You were worried about Eric the rest of the day. About the time you picked up Abigail and got home you were a nervous wreck. Why was he not back by now? You sat Abbey in her seat and quickly went to change in lounge clothes. You fed Abbey and was about to start on dinner when there was a knock on your door. You opened to find a young, brown haired girl with pretty big eyes staring back at you.

"Can I help you?"

"Are you Y/N?" she asked with a worried look on her face. For a split second you felt your heart drop as you thought this could be a young initiate Eric was fucking. Could it be?

"Yes." You confirmed.

"My name is Tris. A friend of Four's." Her expression became more troublesome.

You sighed with relief it wasn't an Eric issue. How could you be so silly? Eric was yours and yours only.

"What's wrong Tris?" You asked as you ushered her inside.

"Have you heard from Four?"

"No I haven't. He must be downtown." You told her as you both sat on the couch.

"He is and half of Dauntless went. It must be serious if it is taking this long and so many people went down there."

You thought only the leaders went. You had no idea that half of Dauntless went as well. Now you really were going to freak out.

"I'm sure they will be back soon." You assured her as well as yourself.

"I was about to start on dinner. Have you eaten?" You got up from the couch cause you needed to do something to distract yourself so you won't freak out in front of her.

"I don't think I can eat anything but I will try."

"Good. Are you allergic to anything?"

Tris shook her head no.

You busied yourself in the kitchen as Tris played with Abbey. You and Tris chatted getting to know one another more. You started to remember her from your former faction but you both never really knew each other well, only seeing each other in passing throughout the years.

"I know Four is Abigail's godfather but what is the story with you two?" She asked suddenly. You stopped stirring the rice you were making and looked over at her. That was pretty bold of her you thought.

"That is a conversation you need to have with Four." You told her. You didn't know what Four wanted her to know about the extent of your relationship with him.

"I figured it was romantic and you just confirmed it."

"Dinner is ready." You told her hoping to change the subject. You looked over at your tablet as it alerted you of an incoming visual call. It was Four. You quickly picked up your tablet and accepted the call.

"Four are you ok? You asked as soon as he appeared on screen.

"Yes I'm fine. We are back. It got pretty bad out there."

Tris jumped up and scurried over to you.

"Tris is here." You moved the tablet so he could see her.

"Honey I'm home. Come to my apartment." He told her.

"Ok."

You turned the tablet back to you.

"Four have you seen Eric? Is he ok?"

"He's in the infirmary getting stitches."

"What happen?!" You nearly shrieked.

"A factionless cut him on his arm. He is fine. Everyone is ok besides a few cuts and bruises but we got the situation contained. Y/N I know you. Do not go down to the infirmary looking for him. You know that will piss him off. I'm sure he will be at your place soon as he is done."

He was right. Eric would be piss. He would not want you seeing him hurt. His pride would be wounded.

"Ok. I won't go down there."

"Is Abigail ok?"

"Yes she is fine. You walked over to Abbey and showed him his goddaughter cooing in her chair.

"Ok. I will stop by tomorrow to see you two." You quickly looked over to Tris. She had no reaction on her face.

"Ok. We will see you tomorrow." You ended the call.

"I'm going to head out."

"Alright. Did you want me to make you a plate to go?"

"No I'm good. Thanks anyway. Thanks for letting me hangout."

"No problem."

You smiled at Tris and watch her walk out the door. You paced back and forth in the kitchen fighting your urge to grab Abbey and head down to the infirmary anyway. As minutes passed you had successfully talked yourself into going when your heard the keypad. Oh thank God!

As soon as Eric walked in holding his jacket looking irritable you ran up and hugged him tight. He wrapped his arms around and squeezed you back.

"I'm ok." He told you as you pulled out of the embrace. You eyed the large bandage wrapped around his forearm. "Asshole cut right through my jacket!" Eric was pissed as he lifted up his coat and surveyed the large gash in the right arm of the jacket.

"Eric you were hurt and you are worried about a damn coat. I can sew it together." Eric looked at you like you lost your damn mind.

"It's fuckin custom made! Now I have to get another one made." Eric spat as he walked over to his daughter.

"You should have told me that the factionless was getting so dangerous! You should not have been out there. You could have been killed!"

Eric looked up from his daughter and looked at you with pure annoyance in his eyes.

"I am a Dauntless soldier first and foremost, I am Abbey's father and then your man. In that order Y/N! What I do as a soldier, I do to protect this faction and to protect you and my child!" He shouted at you making Abbey whimper. Eric's attention returned to his daughter.

"I'm sorry baby girl." He spoke tenderly to his daughter as he picked her up. His face contorted for a brief second from the pain of his cut from lifting her in his arms.

"I just don't want you in danger." You told him as you walked up to him rocking his daughter in his arms.

"Y/N as a soldier I will face danger but I am very good at what I do. I will always make sure I come home to you and Abbey."

"Do you think the factionless will act up again?" You rubbed your daughter's hair looking up at him.

"Don't concern yourself with that." He said effectively shutting any further questions you might have down. You frowned in frustration as it bothered you that he did not ever divulge any of his work information to you. You wanted to know exactly what does Dauntless leader Coulter do all day at his job. What exactly was his job description? Plus, he should be able to vent and let out his frustrations when it came to work or anything for that matter. He never really opened up to you. Did he think you could not handle it? He's not the type of man to talk about his feelings Y/N! You know if Eric is upset or frustrated about anything he handles it and keeps it moving. You told yourself as you watch him sit on the couch content with his daughter in his arms.

"Are you hungry?" You asked deciding not to press any further about the factionless. Eric looked up at you and his eyes slowly took in your body from head to toe.

"I am actually." You knew exactly what he was hungry for by the sound of his voice and your body reacted to it as you felt yourself become moist. A dull ache started in your center as you remember the interruption of your impending orgasm in his office earlier today. You really needed that release as you had been stress and worried since you left his office.

"I'll make you a plate." You told him and scurried off to the kitchen.

Later that night you rode out your orgasm as well as Eric's that was pending inside you both since earlier that day. You wanted to be on top because you loved being in control of him and you did not want to aggravate his arm. Later that night as Eric slept you kept tossing and turning as you thought of how easily you could have lost your man that day. You knew Eric was a strong and superior soldier but you did not want him to walk out that door and never come back because of his duties as a soldier. Yes you were a train soldier as well and would go if you were called for duty but your child was first and foremost in your mind. You would have to make up a living will just in case something happen to you and Eric. You knew Four and Jen were Abbey's godparents but they were also Dauntless soldiers and would not hesitate for active duty. So that left your parents. There was no way in hell you were leaving Abbey with Eric's mom who had yet to come visit her granddaughter since her birth. Visual calls did not count in your opinion. You sighed as you knew this could be an impending argument with Eric's stubborn ass.

"Babe be still and go to sleep." Eric slurred in his sleep as he turned toward you and pulled you close to him. There was that term of endearment again. You smiled and snuggled against him and fell into a restless sleep.

---

You stood and gazed at Eric and his daughter. She was so adorable sitting up on her father's knee with her body laid back on his chest. You had to capture this moment. You grabbed your tablet.

"Eric look up."

Eric slowly looked up from his daughter and you quickly snapped a picture.

"Eric smile." You told him looking at the picture you just took. He looked annoyed in the picture. You pose to take another picture but Eric put his head back down looking at his daughter.

"Come on Eric!" You whined frustrated. "Abbey will see this picture and think her father is a pretentious asshole."

"No she won't." he defended.

"Can you smile for Abbey please?"

"Abbey look at mommy." Eric instructed his daughter in a soft voice. Abbey smiled at her father and looked over at you. You quickly took a photo. You looked at the pic and smiled. Eric actually had a pleasant small smile on his lips. You just knew that would be one of the pics you would treasure of Eric and his daughter. Majority you took were without Eric's knowledge you would usually capture him and Abbey asleep with her lying in his arms or chest. You would cut the shutter sound off and snap pictures when he was playing with her. You hope in the future you could get more pictures like the one you took today.

"We need to get back to work." Eric told you as he handed Abbey to you to take over to your mom. You and him had often picked up Abbey and had lunch at your place if you both weren't fucking in his office.

"I'm right behind you." You told him leaning up giving him a kiss on the lips. "Wait did you put creme on your cut?"

"Yeah I did earlier." Eric briefly looked at his forearm where his cut was healing. "Don't be tardy. You have a habit of that at times." He said with a sly smirk on his face. If you were ever tardy returning to work after lunch was because he was busy laying it on you or you were laying it on him in his office and he never let you get back on time.

After dropping Abbey back at your moms you headed back to work.

As you cut through the training room you immediately saw your man standing watching a couple of initiates spar with a bored expression on his face. You smiled as you caught his eye. He gave you a slight nod.

"That's her I think." You heard a whisper from a group of girls as you walked passed. Were they talking about you? Your reputation as Eric's baby momma preceded you that even the new initiates knew of you. I mean you could imagine all the stories that swirled around Dauntless about your scandalous

relationship between Eric and Four. Hell this was Dauntless. Who was anyone to judge?

You started to sprint to get to work in a timely manner. You would have to cut across the chasm to get to your office faster. You smiled when you saw Tris walking toward you.

"Hey Tris! You heading to training?" You stopped and gave her a quick hug.

"Yeah. I had to escort one of the initiates to the infirmary. I'm glad it wasn't me this time." Tris said smiling at you.

"Oh, I remember those days. It seems like yesterday I saw my fair share of the inside of the infirmary due to training." You frown when you saw the smile leave Tris's face. Out of your peripheral vision you saw someone running up on you and Tris. You turned around in time to see Mandy throw liquid from a glass bottle at you. You instinctively turned your back to shield Tris and to keep whatever was being thrown at you from hitting your face. As the liquid hit your back burning through your shirt it took a second for your brain to register that she just threw acid at you. A howl came from your mouth as the acid ate at your upper back. You grabbed the chasm railing to keep from falling over.

"Tris! Run!" You shouted. Tris took off back toward the infirmary to grab someone for help just as Mandy charged at you and knocked you on your back. You screamed in pain as the rough steel of the chasm's bridge scraped your back. As much pain as you were in you were able to block most of her punches. It didn't take long for Mandy to get the upper hand as she straddled you and rain down hard punches to your ribs and face.

"He is mine! Not yours!" She screamed at you. You were able to get a punch to Mandy's face hitting and splitting her bottom lip. You had to get her off you before you both fell off into the chasm. You head butted her head stunning her enough where she fell backwards off you. Mandy quickly grabbed the railing as she rolled off the chasm.

"Oh God! Don't let me fall! Please don't let me fall!" Mandy screamed as she held onto the railing. "Help me!"

You got on your knees and reached down and grabbed one of her hands.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Mandy said in relief as she felt you lifting her up. Her other hand let go of the railing and grabbed your wrist as you grabbed her forearm with your other hand for a better grasp to pull her up. You started to pull up with all your strength ignoring the pain you were in. As you pulled her up you looked at her face and for a split second a wicked smile displayed on her face. My God! This woman was certifiable. You knew at that moment she would stop at nothing to hurt or kill you. You thought of Abbey and Eric as you let go of her forearm and your hand began to relax its grip in her hand. It was either going to be her or you that would end up dead. It sure hell was not going to be you. Mandy eyes widen in fear as she saw the stone expression that surfaced on your face and felt your hand letting go of hers.

"No! No! Don't!" She shrieked as she tried to tighten her grip on your wrist. You could feel her hands slipping from your grip. You started to pull from her grasp. "You bitch! I hate you!" she roared as she realized that you intended to let her fall.

That was the final nail in her coffin. You yanked your hand from her grasp and froze as you heard her screams as she fell into the chasm. Her screams seem to go on forever until you heard her body hit the rocks. You couldn't move as your body was frozen in place as you stared down at her mangled body. Your mind was trying to comprehend that you just killed someone when you felt an arm wrap around your waist and pull you from the edge of the bridge.

"Y/N?! Y/N?! What happen?" Eric's voice slowly reached your brain and registered. You looked up at him slightly confused. The adrenaline you had felt started to subside and the pain from your acid burn on your back came back in full force. It hit you so hard that your body and mind could not cope and you started to scream in agony as you grasped at your shirt trying to tear it off your body. Eric quickly turned you around and saw the acid eating through your shirt.

"Shit!" Eric grabbed the hem of your shirt and pulled it over your head.

"Eric what happened?!" Four jogged up to you and Eric. Four stopped short when he saw you screaming in pain in just a black bra. "What happen to her?!" Four started to panic seeing you in such pain. Eric bent down, lifted you by the back of your legs and swung you over his shoulder. He did not want to aggravate your back as blisters were starting to form.

"Oh my God!" Four gasped as he looked down in the chasm and saw Mandy's lifeless body. "It's Mandy."

"What?!" Eric quickly looked over the chasm as he started for the infirmary. "Fuck!" What did you do? Eric took off as fast as he could to the infirmary. Your cries turned into loud whimpers

"Y/N concentrate on my voice. Don't focus on the pain. Just concentrate on my voice. We are almost there." Eric proceeded to talk to you as he rushed to the infirmary and you tried hard to zone out the pain and concentrate on his voice. Just when you thought you could not take it anymore and was going to slip out of consciousness Eric crossed the threshold of the infirmary. Dr. Davis was on duty and saw Eric as soon as he entered.

"What happen?!" He asked as he rushed up to you and Eric.

"Her back. It looks like some type of sulfuric acid." Eric told him.

"Gurney!" Dr. Davis called out. In seconds, you were lying in a prone position in the gurney. You closed your eyes and grit your teeth as they pushed you into a room with Eric close behind. You screamed as a nurse unclasped your bra and some skin came off with the bra band.

You let out a louder cry of pain as the doctor flushed and irrigated your back with water.

"I know it hurts Y/N but we have to get the acid off your back before it completely eats through your skin."

"Give her something more for the pain!" Eric yelled in frustration. It pained him to see you in pure agony. Dr. Davis instructed one of the nurses to administer a strong narcotic analgesic. It took instant effect and Eric sighed with relief as your eyes close into unconsciousness. Here you were fighting for your life yet again because of him.

He knew that Raven and Mandy were crazy and he had a sickening feeling Mandy would have come after you for a while now. That was one of the reasons he put up the camera and plan to put up others so he could keep an eye on you and his daughter. He was right about his feelings because Mandy had come to his office about a couple of weeks ago deranged and begging him to take her back. He told her to get the fuck out and immediately reported her. He could feel and see how deranged and determined she was to get him back. He immediately filed a report with Max. He did not want another Raven incident. Max and a few leaders met with Mandy and came to the conclusion she indeed could be a danger to Eric and his family and sent her to Erudite for involuntary inpatient mental health treatment. Eric never told you about the incident because he thought he had you protected since she was gone but she obviously found a way out and Eric failed to protect you. Eric looked on as they irrigated your back more and apply gel and wrapped it up. He spoke with the doctor as they moved you into a room.

"How bad is it?"

Dr. Davis explained the extent of your injuries. They were pretty bad but Erudite had a serum that healed burned victims skin and cause the skin to grow back without any skin grafts. Eric sighed with relief. Last time he was at Erudite they were testing the serum. He was glad it was now available.

"Eric is it going to be a hard healing process. Yes the serum is a wonderful breakthrough but they are very painful and they have to be injected once a day in four areas of her back. The healing is faster but very painful. There will still be some scarring." Dr. Davis explained.

"I understand."

"Eric, Max and the other leaders were here to speak to her about the incident but I told them she was still sedated. She will be waking up in an hour or so and you need to make sure she knows the severity of what is going on. They will be back in a few hours."

Eric nodded and headed to your room.

The first face you saw when you came to was Eric's.

"Don't move." He told you as you tried to sit up. You realize you really could not maneuver as you felt the bandaging wrapping around the top part of your torso.

"Abbey?" You asked hoarsely.

"She is fine. She is with your mom. They were here earlier but I sent them home until you wake up. I didn't want Abbey here. Y/N, I need you to listen to me. I know you are in pain and groggy from the meds but I need you to listen to me carefully." Eric leaned in closer to you. "Max and a couple of leaders were here earlier to see you and I need you to tell me what happen. They have video of the attack. I watched the video and you can see where she grabbed the railing when she rolled off the chasm. The angle of the camera only shows your back and it shows a quick jerk of your arm as if you snatched your hand away. This leaves the question if you let Mandy go on purpose or if she slipped from your grasp."

"She was going to kill me." You told him before a spasm of coughs hit you because of your dry throat. Eric poured you a cup of water from the pitcher that was sitting on a tray at the end of your bed. You gulped it down in three large swallows.

"She fell from your grasp as the pain from your back caused your grip to weaken and you know longer had the strength to pull her up. That is what you will tell them. Do you understand me?" You felt pain in your hand and looking down you realize Eric had it in a death grip. As the fog of the medicine began to wear off more you realize Eric had fear in his eyes. That was one emotion you never thought you would see from him. He was afraid for you.

Max and two other leaders questioned you later that day after kicking Eric out the room. You told them exactly what Eric told you to say. Seeing the pain you were in the inquisition was kept short.

"Leader Knox and Nelson I would like a moment alone with her." Max told the two other leaders.

Nelson and Knox nodded and exit the room. Eric jumped up from his seat when he saw two of the leaders leave your room.

Nelson held up his hand to stop Eric from entering the room.

"She is still being question." He told him stopping Eric in his tracks. Eric gritted his teeth and sat back down.

"Y/N I am sorry that you were attacked again by a fellow Dauntless member." Max pulled the stool that was in the corner and sat beside your bed. "Is he worth it?"

"What?" You asked confused.

"Is Eric worth it? This is the second time you were attack because of another woman of his." Max shook his head not understanding how you could be in this position again. You looked at Max at a loss for words. As your back painfully throbbed his question cut through you like a knife. Was Eric Coulter worth it? Tears sprung to your eyes.

"Listen to me Y/N. I saw and still see so much potential in you to be a top Dauntless leader but the hold Eric has over you will either get you killed or you will never succeed to your true potential. I hate to see any member of this faction suffer unnecessarily and that is what you are doing."

Tears fell down your cheeks. Out of character Max gently wiped them away.

"We have come to the ruling that Dauntless member Mandy Miller death was in self defense. We are still investigating how she escaped inpatient treatment at Erudite but from our own conclusions and the doctors who treated her during her inpatient stay they have concluded she was a danger to society with a fixation on leader Coulter and you. Y/N I need you to think about your future here and what you want. Will this happen again? Will you survive next time? Coulter has always been a top soldier and the first in

history to reach leadership at a young age and unfortunately that brings a lot of admiration from people who may or may not be stable. Think about you and your daughter."

You nodded your head and thought about what he just told you.

"She was at Erudite in a mental health institution?"

"Eric didn't tell you?"

You shook your head no. Max told you about the Mandy incident from a couple weeks ago. Eric kept that from you?

Max squeezed your hand and left you in your thoughts. Moments later Eric burst in your room.

"Self defense." He sighed in relief as Max had told him on the way out.

"I know." You told him weakly. "Eric I need a moment alone. Can you bring my baby girl to see me? Has Four stop by?"

"Yes him and Tris. You were sleep."

You nodded your head. He would never have told you if you didn't ask.

"I will go get Abbey."

You close your eyes. You didn't want to look at him. Eric walked out your room knowing things were about to change.

A week later

"Y/N I need you to rethink going back to Abnegation. You and Abbey belong here with me!" Eric was trying his best not to yell at you as he knew you were still in pain. Since you been back home the past few days you made him move out back to his apartment and you moved your mother in. He tried to argue but in your pain, depression and stubbornness you did not argue back and completely ignored him. As your mom packed you and Abbey's bags to move back to Abnegation for however long you wanted to stay Eric was at wits in. He knew things were going to change as you healed from yet another attack because of him. He expected you to be upset but not to the point of throwing him out and going back to your former faction. He needed to be with you and Abbey and as he feared you were leaving him. You also had the emotional pain of Mandy's death on your mind. He saw it in your eyes at times.

"I know it is a lot to deal with at first causing someone's death but it was in self-defense Y/N. We can work through this together." Eric knelt by your bed that you were sitting up in. You looked over at him.

"You think that is the only reason I am leaving?" You could not help it despite the pain it would cause your hand found his faced and slapped him. Eric gritted his teeth and took it like he always did when you slapped him fighting the urge to reciprocate.

"I can't stand to be here anymore! I am surrounded by death. Me and my baby almost died while I was stabbed multiple times and now I have scars on my back from an acid attack from your whore! What if your daughter was with me! It's you Eric! This would not have happened to me if you would have kept your dick in your pants! I wish I never met you!" You were screaming. What you just screamed at him stabbed at Eric's heart.

Your mom rushed into your room.

"Eric you need to leave." She told him in a stern mothers' voice. Eric got up from the side of your bed as you close your eyes as the pain meds took over your body. The meds were helping keep most of the pain at bay. You were relieved when the doctor told you that you would still be able to nurse on them. The medicine was another one of the many medical breakthroughs at Erudite.

"Did you secure a place for her and Abbey to stay in Abnegation?" Your mom asked Eric as she escorted him out your room to the door.

"Yes. It is a few doors down from you. We gave the Wilsons a bigger place." Eric told her. When you told him you were going back to Abnegation for a while and he needed to find you and Abbey a place to stay close to your family he roared at you in pure rage and at that moment is when he saw you shut down and shut him out. He regretted his reaction and tried to talk you out of it but it was like you didn't see him anymore. Today was the first time since the attack he got any real emotional reaction out of you.

"Good. We will see you tomorrow for the transport." Brenda told him before slamming the door in his face.

You mostly slept on the way back to Abnegation due to your meds and when you were awake there was only silence in the jeep. Your mom or Eric did not speak. The only noise occasionally came from Abbey. Eric pulled up to your temporary home to find your family outside waiting for you. Your dad, aunt and uncle rushed to the vehicle when Eric put it in park. Without a word to him your dad helped you out the car, your aunt grabbed Abbey's car seat and your uncle grabbed your bags. Eric started to get out the jeep when your dad told him there was no need for him to stay. Eric started to protest but you told him to leave.

"Don't forget her serum." Eric told your uncle.

"We got it." He told Eric giving him a death glare.

Eric watched from the jeep as your family ushered you and his daughter into the gray, box shape structure that would be your home for an amount of time you determined. Eric sighed as the door shut and you and Abbey were gone. You didn't even look back at him.
