One Shot Collection - (Don't Die Series) - Levi x OC

by docoo

A collection of one shots that take place between Levi and Aubrey and depict scenes that never made it into the original fics!

6. Jealous

Description: When one of Aubrey's soldiers gets a little too handsy, Levi finds himself spiraling into a pit of jealousy… and Aubrey can tell. This one shot is set between Don't Die and Stay Alive. Levi is visiting Aubrey in the north. Levi is 20 and Aubrey is 18.

Genre: angst/smut/fluff (all of it lol)

Word Count: 16.2l~

A/N: Okay, soooo… this is for all y'all DOM-LEVI lovers lol. I've never written Levi as being this dominant before, but he's jealous (title lol) and I figured that would be a time when he'd be likely to be more rough and demanding. Plus, we had sub-Levi last one shot, so… I evened the score lol. I wanted to put another warning that this is more graphic smut that I usually write and I use some more specific and descriptive words here. I feel like the more comfortable I get with the concept of writing smut, the more descriptive it gets lol.

This is a one shot that I'm not sure I feel kind of…iffy about? I'm not sure I can really picture Levi getting jealous to the point that it become a problem. He just doesn't seem like a jealous person to me… but if he were to get jealous, I think it would be something like this lol.

Anyway, this one shot was a request, so I hope it turned out how you wanted! (you know who you are lol) If I went a little crazy with the smut… sorry. RIP. I'm pretty sure the next one shot I do is going to be soft and gentle Levi smut, sooooo… it'll even out this one lol. I gotta FEED y'all the smut here in the one shots because it's lacking in the main fic lol.

Okay, that's enough for the before author's note. I'll see y'all after :)))

WARNINGS: SMUT, Dom-Levi

Levi hated that kid.

His laugh, his smile, his absolutely repulsive way of gazing at Aubrey when she wasn't looking.

Levi hated that kid.

It was only seven in the morning and that damn brat already couldn't keep his hands to himself. Pats on the shoulder, gentle taps on the arm, grabbing her hand when he needed something. It was so obvious it was ridiculous. And Adam was well aware that Aubrey was taken. The damn ring was right there, sitting on her finger and practically blinding anyone who looked at it. And yet, Adam didn't seem to care.

And that was what made Levi so mad.

He knew that Aubrey was beautiful; he told her himself regularly. And, not only was she beautiful, she was smart and kind and strong and everything else that could ever possibly make a woman attractive. And so, he wouldn't be surprised if every person here found her at least a little enticing. In fact, how could they not? He'd come to terms with that. He didn't care so long as no one acted on that enticement.

But, Adam was taking all the action he wanted. Even with Levi sitting right there.

Levi grit his teeth as he gazed at Aubrey's profile. Smiling, laughing, completely unaware of the advances being made on her. He didn't know if that ignorance was an act or if she truly couldn't even begin to grasp the concept of another man making a move on her. He figured it was probably somewhere in the middle. There was almost no way she hadn't taken notice of Adam's advances, but she probably just didn't see the point in telling him to stop. As far as Levi knew, he'd never gone beyond some fairly obvious flirting. Aubrey always just brushed him off, acting like she wasn't grasping what he was saying or simply ignoring the bolder comments. She probably knew, it just didn't seem like all that big of a deal to her because his flirting would never lead to anything.

Levi knew that was true. He knew Aubrey would never even think of betraying his trust. But he still couldn't shake the feeling inside him. It was like a low, burning fire at his core that made his entire body feel hot and angry… and he knew exactly what that feeling was. He didn't just hate Adam… he was jealous.

Levi glanced at the boy's face. He was Aubrey's age, only eighteen or so, and he had a gleaming smile full of white teeth and pink lips that he loved to flash every second of every damn day. A strong jaw, a straight nose, and clear skin rounded out his face and short brown hair and dark brown eyes finished the look. Plus, a muscular frame and height of over six feet only added to his appearance. Levi wasn't blind. He was handsome… and it only made things worse.

They were all currently in the Mess Hall at Camp. Levi was in the north to visit Aubrey for his leave time and he'd only been there for about a week. Still, though… a week had been plenty of time for Levi to feel like he was going to flip a table if that kid didn't back off soon. His moves were so obvious it was almost painful. Even now, here in the Mess Hall as they ate breakfast, Adam had no problem telling Aubrey some horrible joke and then ever so subtly grazing her shoulder with his fingers as she laughed.

Levi's hands wrapped so tightly around his fork that he felt the metal bend. This was absolutely ridiculous.

Levi felt like a child. He'd never been this jealous in his life. He'd always thought he just wasn't a very jealous person. And he wasn't. In fact, the only other time he could remember being jealous was when he'd first met Aubrey and he'd been convinced that she had some kind of secret relationship with Erwin. That jealousy was long gone and he now knew that Aubrey and Erwin certainly had a relationship, it just wasn't anywhere near the kind of relationship he needed to be jealous about. But Adam… for some reason that kid was making Levi feel more jealous than he'd ever thought possible. And it was starting to get hard to hide it.

"So, Captain, what's on the agenda for training today?"

Levi heard Adam's voice from the other side of Aubrey and he instantly equated it to the sound of nails on a chalkboard.

Aubrey only smiled at him.

"Hand-to-hand combat. All day. You're all falling behind where I'd like you to be."

Levi stared straight at Adam's face, or more glared at Adam's face. But the kid didn't even look at him.

"Oooh, well, then… I hope you'll be spending a little extra time with me? I could use the practice…"

Levi was half sure there was smoke coming out of his ears. So obvious.

But, just like always, Aubrey brushed him off.

"Adam, I'll give you the same amount of time I give the others. Besides, your skills aren't in any worse shape than the rest of the legion. All of you need my attention. Desperately."

Levi already knew what that dumb brat what going to say before the words even came out of his mouth.

"You're right, Captain. I certainly am desperate."

Just from the look in his eyes, Levi knew that Adam hadn't really said what he meant. What he'd meant was 'I certainly am desperate for you'.

Levi stabbed a piece of fruit with a bit too much force and Aubrey looked his way, sending him a confused glance.

Levi barely looked at her. He was afraid that if she got a good look at his eyes, she'd be able to tell exactly what he was thinking. And if she knew what he was thinking… he'd go from being jealous to being embarrassed.

Even if Adam was the one being entirely obvious and ridiculous, Levi knew he was being ridiculous, too. Why did he care so much? He knew Aubrey wouldn't do anything, she wouldn't even think about doing anything. And yet, here he was, pouting like a child and stabbing a piece of apple like it was the source of all his problems. It was absurd. He was absurd. So… he couldn't let Aubrey know. He didn't want her to think that he didn't trust her or that he didn't have faith… but he just couldn't help it. Adam was really getting on his nerves.

"You'll be fine, Adam. Now, head out to the training field. We're starting in just a few minutes."

Levi dared to shoot Adam a deadly glare, but the brat wasn't even looking. He was just staring at Aubrey, a glint in his eye that made Levi want to flip the fucking table. And he almost did. But Adam moved too fast.

"Sure thing, Captain. See 'ya out there."

Levi watched as he stood from his seat and started to walk away. But, just as Levi thought he was in the clear, Adam just had to add a cherry on top.

He turned back, a completely sweet and innocent expression on his face as he leaned down, his face a little too close to Aubrey's. Levi felt like he was going to explode.

"Do you want me to take your tray for you, Captain?"

Levi really couldn't take it this time. He was going to rip that kid's head off.

But, Aubrey sent Adam away before he ever got the chance.

"No thank you, Adam. Levi and I aren't quite done yet. I can get it. Just go on out now."

Levi saw frustration and rejection flash across Adam's face, but it was gone as soon as it had come.

"Alright. Bye, Captain."

"Bye, Adam."

Finally, Adam turned and walked away for good.

Levi stabbed his apple, feeling like a child again, but not really caring this time. He was losing it.

"Levi?" Levi raised his eyes at the sound of Aubrey's hushed voice, only to find her already reaching for him with a concerned expression on her face. He expected her hand to land on his cheek, but it landed on his… forehead. "Are you sick? What's wrong?" Aubrey stared at him, knowing that her worry was obvious. But she was worried. Why did he look so tense? He'd been shifting in his seat all morning and he'd been completely off the last few days. And then when he stabbed his apple… that certainly wasn't very Levi. He was always so calm, so cool… but he seemed agitated for some reason… and a fever was the only reason Aubrey could think of. "Maybe you should go lie down."

Levi shook his head. Leaving Aubrey alone with Adam was the absolute last thing he wanted.

Aubrey only frowned at him. His skin was hot and he looked rather flustered. At least, he looked flustered by Levi standards. There was just a hint of red in his cheeks and a small scowl on his lips. But, to Aubrey, that small expression spoke a thousand words.

"Well, what's wrong then, Levi? You're not yourself."

Levi grit his teeth and flexed his jaw. This was getting more painful with every passing second. Aubrey was clearly genuinely worried about him and yet he wouldn't dare tell her that he was acting like a child because he was jealous.

"Nothing's wrong. I'm fine." Levi's eyes darted to Aubrey's tray. He knew he needed to find a way to switch the topic or she'd just keep questioning him. "Eat the rest of your oatmeal. You'll get hungry if you don't."

Aubrey stared at him, completely unamused. She knew he was trying to change the subject and she wasn't sure if she should let him. It was obvious that something was wrong. He really hadn't been himself these last few days. Stiff body language, angry scowls, annoyed grunts… he wasn't happy at all. Aubrey would have been a little less concerned had he not just returned to her in the north. Usually, this first week of their reunion was euphoric. They could hardly keep their eyes off each other and they had a hard time focusing on anything other than the idea of being alone together. But, this time… Levi seemed… distracted. Something wasn't right. She was sure of it. But, as desperately as she wished he would tell her so that they could simply enjoy their time together, she knew he wasn't ready yet. Forcing an answer out of him right now would only make whatever wound he was hiding cut deeper. He wasn't ready to tell her. So, she'd have to wait until he was.

Aubrey gave him one last glance and turned back to her tray. Although, she did reach out and take his hand, locking their fingers together beneath the table. She could eat with one hand.

And she did.

As soon as the rest of her oatmeal was gone, she stood from her seat, pulling Levi up with her. They grabbed their trays and discarded them and then Aubrey turned to him one last time. The Mess Hall was nearly empty at this point and everyone was waiting for her out on the field, but she just wanted to check on him.

"You're sure you're feeling alright?"

Aubrey squeezed his hand, touching her fingers to his forehead again. Somehow, he didn't seem nearly as warm as earlier.

"I'm sure, Aubrey. Let's just go."

Aubrey stared at him, her eyes scanning every inch of his face. He didn't look as angry or flustered and he seemed to have calmed down a bit, so she'd let him off the hook. Whatever was wrong with him seemed to have eased up a bit. At least for the moment.

"Alright. But if you need to come inside at any point, just do it. I can take the day off."

Levi's eyes flashed. Take the day off? That was certainly an intriguing idea. He could get her away from Adam and have her all to himself. But he was already acting like a child and he wasn't about to fake illness just to get his fiancée away from some brat who thought he had a shot. He'd just have to tough it out.

"Really, Aubrey. I'm fine. Let's just go."

Aubrey gave him one last glance. She'd already decided not to push it… so she wouldn't.

"Okay."

She reached out and grabbed Levi's hand. If he said he was alright, she'd believe him. For now, at least.

Quickly, they made their way across the Mess Hall and out of the castle. It was time to start training.

And Aubrey certainly didn't wait a second to get going.

"Break into your groups and start sparring. We're focusing completely on hand-to-hand combat today. You're all falling behind where I want you. Now, go. I'll be around to train with each of you individually over the course of the day."

Aubrey spoke only slightly louder than she usually would. They'd all hear her. She'd trained them that way.

Everyone scattered immediately, getting into their separate groups… except one person called out as he ran away.

"Captain! Don't forget you promised you'd visit me first!"

Levi almost exploded again. That stupid brat. He was so entirely obnoxious and annoying and horrible and disgusting and his tricks weren't even working. Couldn't he see that? Couldn't he see that Aubrey wasn't interested? Not only did she have a ring on her finger, but had the kid even met Aubrey? She was clearly not some girl with her head in the clouds, willing to fall for some pick up lines and follow the kid to bed. If anything, she was the exact opposite. She'd fallen in love with Levi. The build up to their relationship hadn't had one pick up line or blatantly flirty comment. If anything, their time together had been slow and serious. But this damn brat…

Levi hated him. Levi loathed him.

And Levi was jealous.

"I didn't promise you anything, Adam."

Aubrey's voice rang out and Levi shot him another glare. He reined it in quickly, though. If Aubrey saw, she'd know that his foul mood was simply a childish act. And, that wasn't what he wanted.

"Oh, come on, Captain. You know you want to."

Levi's hands balled into fists so tightly that his knuckles went white. This kid. He'd be lucky to survive the morning. Levi was starting to feel like his fists had a mind of their own. And if Adam wasn't careful, he'd be in the infirmary with a black eye. But, the only way to find out whether Adam would behave himself was to get through the day… and for Levi to keep a very close watch. And he did.

The day passed by slowly and Levi had been in an entirely horrible mood the entire time. He'd barely concealed his scowl and his grip on Aubrey's hand had certainly been incessant and tight whenever possible. A few times he'd even gone so far as to kiss her ring or even her lips… almost always right in front of Adam.

Levi was well aware of the pettiness of those actions, but he hadn't been able to stop himself. The way Adam looked at Aubrey, looked at Levi's own fiancée, made Levi feel like putting the damn brat in the infirmary.

And, if that kid kept looking at Aubrey like that… like he wanted her… he really would end up in the infirmary.

The day itself had been relatively calm… except for the parts that involved Adam.

He'd certainly taken every opportunity to show Aubrey just how interested he was. When Aubrey had joined his group to help them with their hand-to-hand combat practice, he'd insisted that he needed to work on a particular move that ended up with Aubrey on the ground beneath him every time. Levi had only had to watch once to know that he wasn't going to stand for it. He'd told Aubrey to help the other two members of the group and then he'd told Adam that he'd help him with his move personally.

Adam certainly hadn't enjoyed that interaction, but Levi had enjoyed it immensely. Kicking that brat into the ground over and over and over again and then getting to critique his form in the nastiest ways possible… yes… Levi enjoyed that immensely.

But it hadn't lasted long. At least not long enough for Adam to break down completely. If anything, the dumb brat seemed to have been agitated.

And now they were at dinner. And Adam hadn't hesitated to join them… just as he had all week.

Levi had half thought about telling Aubrey he wanted to take dinner in their room tonight… but he'd decided against it. Aubrey always ate with her soldiers. She insisted that meals were a time for her soldiers to see her as a person rather than as a captain and… it worked. Her table was always crowded and full of laughter and smiling and her soldiers gazed at her like she was the light of their life. They loved her. All of them.

But, Adam certainly seemed to love her in a way that was entirely unacceptable.

"So, Captain… are we all back up to speed with where you want us to be? Was our day of hand-to-hand combat effective?"

Adam spoke smoothly as he eyed Aubrey chewing a mouthful of potatoes. Levi glowered at him… disgusting.

Aubrey swallowed her potatoes and smirked as she replied.

"Not even close. Maybe you're all just doomed to a life of flailing around helplessly." The table laughed and Aubrey joined in. Levi didn't crack a smile. "But, really, you all did very well today. I think we'll have to devote a little extra time to hand-to-hand combat over the next few weeks, but you're catching up. And I'm not at all worried about your 3DMG skills. Generally, you're all very advanced in that area." Aubrey glanced up from her food, meeting eyes with several of her soldiers as she spoke again. "I'm very proud of you all and of your progress. Well done."

Levi watched as smiles broke out across the entire table, some blushing, some beaming… but all of them glowing with praise. It was amazing. Aubrey had an entirely different approach to being a captain than Levi did. His first instinct was always to push people away, to see his soldiers and his soldiers and nothing else… even if he sometimes failed with that. But, Aubrey… she did the opposite. She let everyone in, made everyone feel important, made everyone feel loved. She was… amazing.

"Well, glad to hear you're still enamored with me, Captain."

Adam said it jokingly and his "joke" was convincing enough that most of the people at the table gave him a chuckle, but Levi only stiffened and forced himself to hold back. Aubrey only answered him as cooly as ever.

"Yes, you did well today, Adam. I'm glad Levi could help you out with that move you wanted to practice." That gave Levi just a spark of joy. His lips twitched and he held back a satisfied smirk. He'd definitely helped Adam out… if knocking him into the dirt a couple dozen times counted. He shot a glance at Adam only to find him scowling. Levi's joy grew just a tiny bit. "Anyway, I think we'll have to get going now. I'm exhausted from quite literally fighting all of you all day. Goodnight, everyone."

Levi took that as his cue and he rose from his seat, grabbing Aubrey's tray and his own.

"Goodnight, Captain."

Everyone said goodnight to Aubrey and she smiled at them. About half of them dared to say goodnight to Levi, too, and he just nodded at them while he squeezed Aubrey's hand. They all seemed to accept that and Aubrey turned to Levi as they walked toward the exit of the Mess Hall.

But, just as they were about to step out, they were stopped by none other than Adam. Of course it was Adam.

"Captain!"

Levi let out a low growl, but Aubrey didn't hear. She was already too busy whirling around to face her pursuer.

"Captain, you forgot this!"

Levi reluctantly turned to see Adam waving a small piece of folded paper in his hand as he ran toward Aubrey. Levi recognized it. It was just a letter from Erwin that Aubrey had received earlier in the day. She had a habit of checking the mail as soon as it arrived, usually for the very purpose of getting Erwin's words into her brain as soon as she possibly could. Levi assumed she did the same with his own letters when he wasn't there, but he was there. She didn't need any letter from him, he was right in front of her and at night they had all the time in the world to exchange as many words as they wanted to.

Except, right now, Adam seemed intent on interrupting that time.

"Oh! Thank you, Adam."

Aubrey reached out her hand, waiting patiently for Adam to put the letter right in her fingers, But he didn't. Of course he didn't.

When Adam finally came to a stop, he reached not for Aubrey's hand, but for her waist. Levi could hardly believe his eyes. Adam's hand went to her waist and his other hand smoothly maneuvered Erwin's letter into Aubrey's pocket. And, when he was done, he even let his hands linger.

Levi wasn't going to take it. As subtly as he could, he wrapped his arm around Aubrey's body and pulled her out of Adam's grip and up against his chest, meeting Adam's eyes as he did.

Levi glared at him, but Adam's eyes quickly flashed away and back to Aubrey.

"Goodnight, Captain."

For once, Aubrey took a second longer to respond than usual. But she responded nonetheless.

"Yes, goodnight, Adam. We'll see you in the morning."

Aubrey turned immediately and pulled Levi out the door and into the hallway.

Their walk was silent.

Levi held her hand tightly, but every time she turned to look at him he only stared forward and clenched his jaw. He was afraid to even meet her eyes. It might put him over the edge.

Eventually, though, they came to the winding stairwell that would lead them up to Aubrey's room, or their room when Levi was with her.

Aubrey pulled Levi up each step, growing more annoyed with each second. He was still in that completely foul mood and she was growing tired of it. The visits they made to each other were short and she needed every second to be filled with Levi. But not this Levi. She wanted him to look at her with the glint in his eyes that made her heart stop, to toss her onto the bed the second they got home for the night, to nuzzle into her neck when they woke up in the morning, to pull her into some dusty storage room during lunch just so he could kiss her senseless. That was the Levi she wanted, the Levi she knew. But that wasn't the Levi she was getting. And she was starting to get very impatient.

When they reached the top of the stairs, Aubrey tugged Levi along a little more aggressively than needed and led him to the wooden door of their room. She pushed inside instantly and then locked them in immediately. And, finally… finally… Levi met her eyes.

Aubrey stared at him, waiting for him to explain himself and growing even more anxious when she saw the hard lines of his face grow harsher and the silver of his eyes grow darker. What was he so grumpy about?

"I'm taking a shower."

Aubrey's mouth fell open. What?

Aubrey was so shocked that when Levi started to walk away, she couldn't even call after him. She couldn't believe it. He'd been off all day, all week, and now he was giving her the silent treatment?

Aubrey felt something snap within her. Suddenly, she really didn't care if he wasn't ready to tell her what was bothering him. It was ruining their time together and she wasn't going to stand for it.

"Levi Ackerman!" Aubrey stared after him, fuming, and she saw him root to the spot as he walked. Obviously, he'd realized that she wasn't going to put up with any more of his shit. She'd even used his full name. That was never good. "Turn your ass around right now and tell me what the hell is wrong with you!"

Now it was Levi who was frozen. He was extraordinarily tempted to escape to the bathroom and avoid this conversation for the moment, but he knew Aubrey wouldn't stand for that. If she had to, she'd break the bathroom door down. She'd made up her mind that she wanted to talk now.

And when Aubrey made up her mind… there was no changing it.

So, slowly, Levi relaxed his muscles. He wasn't sure what he was going to say. He still didn't want to tell her about his childish jealousy, which left him with excuses. But he didn't want to give an excuse, either. Neither seemed right… so… denial.

"I already told you, Aubrey. Nothing is wrong."

Levi turned slowly, keeping his expression calm and neutral as his cool eyes met her fiery ones. She really wasn't happy with him.

"You're lying, Levi. And you're horrible at it. Tell me what is wrong."

Levi clenched his teeth. He didn't want to do this. He really didn't want to. But Aubrey was leaving him no choice. She was going to push him until he told her the truth and he knew it. And it made his blood boil.

"I don't want to talk about this, Aubrey."

Aubrey grunted angrily, walking over to him until their bodies were just inches apart and she was staring up at him.

"Well, frankly, Levi… I don't care."

Levi scoffed and averted his eyes as he started to turn again.

"I'm taking a fucking shower."

"No. You. Are. Not."

Levi grunted as Aubrey caught his wrist and yanked him back to her. Levi felt his temper flare.

"Quit it, Aubrey! I don't want to do this shit right now!"

"Well, neither do I! This is the opposite of what I want! What I want is my Levi back! Where the fuck is he?! The first day you were here was amazing! You were you! And then something set you off and you turned into this! And now you're grumpy and quiet and angry and I don't know what the hell is going on! We don't have time for this shit, Levi! I get you for three months of the year. Three months. I am not wasting those three months on whatever this is." Aubrey reached out, her hands finding Levi's face as tears started to form in her eyes. She knew he'd tell her now. He had to tell her now… right? She just couldn't take it. Every second they spent like this was a second without his warm gaze, without his soft lips, without his gentle touch. And she couldn't bear wasting another second. "Please, Levi… help me help you. Tell me. What is wrong?"

Levi squeezed his eyes shut. How did she always manage to make him crumble so quickly? Almost every argument they had was over in minutes because Aubrey always had the right thing to say. She always knew exactly how to hit him right in the heart, how to make him stop and think. And she was right. They didn't have time for this. He hadn't thought about it that way before. He'd been so caught up in his jealousy that he hadn't thought about how much time they were losing. He already regretted it. A whole week. He'd lost a whole week with the person he loved more than anything in the world all because he couldn't get his shit together and just tell her how he felt.

But, now, it was time to correct that mistake before it could fester any longer. He had to tell her. Now. Just like she'd asked him to.

So, Levi took a deep breath, let it out slowly… and then spoke.

"Adam. Adam is what's wrong."

Aubrey's brows furrowed instantly. Adam?

"Adam? What does he have to do with this?"

As soon as the words had left Aubrey's mouth, she knew exactly what was wrong. Levi was… jealous.

Aubrey was well aware of Adam's advances toward her. She'd always just brushed him off. It was annoying, but she honestly didn't really think much of it. There was no way in hell she could ever even think about doing something with Adam. The very idea made her want to gag.

But… she'd thought Levi would know that. She'd thought that he'd think Adam's flirting was just as insignificant as she did because he'd know that it meant nothing to her. But, now… Aubrey was realizing that maybe she was in the wrong here. It wasn't Levi being unreasonable or grumpy… she'd just failed to see things from his point of view.

Adam had always been flirty with her ever since he'd arrived a couple of months ago with the new recruits, but it hadn't been as excessive as it was now. It was only in the last couple of weeks that he'd really started ramping up his advance and perhaps Levi's presence had added to that. Maybe Adam had some kind of male dominance thing going on. That thought nearly made Aubrey laugh out loud. Adam would never be dominant over Levi in any way, shape, or form. At least not in her eyes. Levi was perfect to her and nobody would ever come close to him.

But… even Levi was allowed to be insecure sometimes. Allowed to be possessive sometimes. Aubrey knew she should have put her foot down. She'd been brushing Adam off, hoping that he'd eventually get the message and back off and she could avoid creating a tense relationship with a soldier. But now… now she'd put Levi's feelings in danger all because she didn't want to discipline. She'd messed up. And now it was her job to fix it.

"Levi… you're… jealous?"

Levi huffed, fixing his eyes on the floor as he avoided Aubrey's gaze. His secret was out. There was no hiding it any more. He'd exposed himself as the child he was, unable to even assure himself that his finacée had eyes only for him. He knew it was true. He knew Aubrey would never love anyone but him. And yet, every time Adam gave her one of those disgustingly flirty comments or looks or touches, he felt a spark of panic. Was someone trying to steal his girl from right out under him? Was it working?

Levi grit his teeth and spoke in hushed tones.

"Aubrey, do you even pay attention to the things he says to you? He never shuts up. I swear his brain must be churning out pick up lines constantly. And then the looks, Aubrey. The way he looks at you, like he wants to take you to the nearest fucking bed and-" Levi cut off. That was too painful to even think about. If he went any further he'd break something. So, he moved on. "And the touches, Aubrey. In training. That idiotic move he wanted to 'practice'. He didn't want to practice shit. He just wanted you under him. And this-" Levi reached out to her, plucking Erwin's letter out of her pocket and forcing himself not to crumple it into a ball and chuck it across the room. "This, just now, when he fucking grabbed you and put this in your pocket. He's lucky I didn't knock his fucking teeth out." Levi stopped, taking another breath before he continued. "So, yes, Aubrey. I'm fucking jealous. There. Now you know what's wrong with me."

Aubrey could only stare, open-mouthed, for longer than she liked. His admission had certainly been… passionate. He was upset. Really, truly, upset.

And Aubrey knew she needed to get herself together and help him. This was on her. She'd done him wrong and now she needed to fix it.

So, she did.

"Levi." Aubrey moved closer, pressing herself up against him and running her hands through his hair. His eyes were glassy and they smoldered with a strange mixture of anger and sadness. Aubrey felt a knot in her stomach. She needed to make that look go away. Now. "Levi, I'm sorry." Aubrey paused again, seeing Levi's eyes widen at her apology. "I'm so sorry. You're right. He was out of hand. I should have just told him to stop. And I will. First thing tomorrow I'll tell him one more comment and I'm sending him home." Aubrey stared straight into Levi's eyes, forcing him to realize that she meant every word she was saying. "I'm so sorry, Levi. I'm so sorry I… I let you feel like that. I should have put the pieces together, I should have realized that we'd feel differently about it. You have every right to be jealous. But… I would never, Levi. I hope you know that I would never."

Aubrey couldn't take it anymore. She pulled him close, wrapping her arms around him and burying herself in his chest as she continued.

"We're engaged, Levi. I wear your ring on my finger every day. I'm yours. Always. Because I love you more than absolutely anything. Anything, Levi." Aubrey huffed, pulling him harder against her as he wrapped his arms around her, returning her embrace. "And I think it goes without saying that I love you far more than Adam." Aubrey chuckled lightly. "He's my soldier, and in that way I do love him. But no more than anyone else. In fact… maybe a little less than everyone else. He's causing me quite a few problems." Levi sighed into her and Aubrey hugged him closer. "I'm sorry you had to watch him flirt with me. I… I just didn't think you'd… care. You're so calm, Levi. I guess I just thought you'd be unbothered by this, too. I guess I just… messed up." Aubrey sighed. She really had messed up. She'd been dumb. But she still had more to say. "And, as for his pick up lines… I'd have to agree. I think he probably writes out a list at night and then memorizes them for the next day." Aubrey smiled when Levi actually huffed a small laugh. "And, with Erwin's letter. If it makes you feel any better, know that I nearly knocked him on his ass. He was just so… cocky about it. Made me wanna gag." Levi hummed and Aubrey pressed her lips to his neck before she continued. She had a feeling that this next part might put him in a better mood… and perhaps give him a little ego boost. Which couldn't hurt right now. "And, those looks you were talking about… the ones where he looks at me like he wants to bed me…" Aubrey trailed off as Levi stiffened, but she had more. "I almost laugh every time I see it." Aubrey paused, letting those words sink in. "I don't know who he thinks he's competing with… but I am 100% sure he couldn't do a fraction of what you do for me, Levi." Aubrey moved her mouth to Levi's ear. She'd used words of regret and reassurance, but now she had a different form of communication in mind. Actions over words. Levi had always been good at that. And Aubrey wanted to give him the perfect opportunity to not only get his frustration out, but also show her exactly how he felt. It always seemed to work for them. So, she kept talking, her breath brushing over the shell of Levi's ear as she whispered. "You know me so well, Levi. Better than I ever imagined someone could. You… you do things to me I didn't even know were possible. And… I love it. Every second you're on me feels like heaven, Levi. No one else could ever make me feel that way. Only you. And especially not Adam. If I'm being honest… I don't even think he'd really know what to do beyond, well… the basics." Aubrey huffed a small laugh and she felt Levi nibble at her neck. "He seems like the type to be in it for himself and only himself. And you're anything but that, Levi. You care so much. And I love that about you. You're so… good at it. And… I'm all yours. Every inch of me. Forever. Yours."

Aubrey finally came to a stop. She figured it was probably time to let him respond. So, she waited. But she didn't have to wait long.

"Mine, hm?"

Aubrey nodded feverishly as she felt his teeth sink into her neck. Not hard enough to leave a mark, but hard enough to make her knees weak.

"Yes, yours, Levi. All yours."

Aubrey felt Levi's hair tickling her neck as his mouth continued to bite into her skin. She knew what she wanted Levi to do… the only question was if he'd do it for her.

"Levi…" Aubrey was surprised when her voice came out breathy and weak. Levi already had her crumbling.

"Hm?"

Aubrey shivered at the vibrations of his humming into her skin. But that was all she needed to build up the courage to ask him.

Her fingers twined in his hair, her face buried in his neck, and Aubrey finally got the words out.

"Levi… I want you to…. I want you to take me to the bed and show me who I belong to."

Aubrey's breath caught in her throat when she felt Levi's lips still on her neck. But, all she could do was wait.

Levi pulled away from her and Aubrey swallowed hard as she met his eyes. They were burning, but she couldn't tell why they were burning. Was he hungry, angry, upset? In her panic, Aubrey couldn't tell. What she'd said had been a risk. She'd essentially asked him to be rough with her… and Levi usually wasn't a fan of that. He never had been. It took a very special headspace for him to be rough with her and not regret it or have to stop halfway through. Aubrey knew it was due to his childhood. What he'd known all those men were doing to his mother, the way those men treated her even out of the bedroom… Aubrey couldn't even imagine the kind of damage that had done to him. Sex was sacred to Levi. It had to be meaningful, special, personal, or he couldn't do it.

And Aubrey understood that. She was perfectly happy with that. Levi never failed to satisfy her and the personal aspect was her favorite part. Every time, he made her know that he was with her because he loved her, not because he just wanted some kind of stress release or quick fuck. That was essential for both of them.

And, right now would be no different. Aubrey might have asked him to be rough with her, but she didn't want him to lose his emotion. This was supposed to be a way for him to channel his emotion. He loved her and she was his… she just wanted him to show her that.

"Levi…" Aubrey reached out to him, her hands finding his cheeks as she stared at him. He looked tense and maybe even a bit scared. The sight made Aubrey's heart break. "Levi, I trust you… with everything. Just show me how you feel. Just… let it out." Aubrey ran her fingers through his hair, feeling the strands against her skin as his eyes flashed. But he still didn't answer. Aubrey started to panic. She'd pushed him too far. She shouldn't have asked. He wasn't in the right place to do this. "You don't have to Levi. You never have to. I just thought you might want to-"

"Want to what? Hm?" Aubrey's mouth popped open and her eyes went wide. Levi had interrupted her by pulling her closer to him, her chest pressed to his as one of his hands wrapped around her chin… and the other grabbed her ass. "You just thought I might want to make you mine?"

Aubrey's mind fired up instantly. He was going to do this. He was already starting. He was going to make her his.

Aubrey nodded vigorously. "Y-Yes."

Levi smirked and Aubrey's heart stopped. She couldn't believe it. He was going to do exactly as she'd asked.

He moved closer, his lips settling over hers as he spoke, his breath fanning over her skin.

"Mmm…. well, you're right. I do want to make you mine. Just like I've done hundreds of fucking times before." Aubrey gasped as Levi squeezed her ass, pushing her hips into his, where the growing tent in his pants was extremely noticeable. "But, this time… I think I'm going to give you a very strong reminder of who you belong to."

Aubrey choked on air. Levi hardly ever talked like that. He wasn't very possessive… perhaps a bit overprotective… but not possessive. And while Aubrey was usually grateful for that, grateful for the fact that he had so much faith in their relationship, right now… he had every right to make her his. She wanted him to.

Aubrey gasped as her feet suddenly started shuffling backwards and her knees hit the edge of the bed. Levi wasn't wasting time.

His teeth sank into her neck again, this time a little harder than before and Aubrey let out a whine. Levi huffed at the sound. He was… enjoying this. He and Aubrey had sorted things out and now she'd given him the opportunity to communicate his lingering jealousy through actions. He'd certainly been hesitant at first. Her request had been… different. She knew of his struggles when it came to their sex life. Not that those struggles had ever held them back from making each other feel good… but this was different. He didn't like manhandling her too much or being rough. It made him feel like shit, like he was one of those assholes that used to mistreat his mother, that used women for nothing more than their own pleasure. His biggest fear was hurting Aubrey. She'd never asked him to do anything overly aggressive or that would cause her physical pain and he was extraordinarily grateful for that. That was one thing he couldn't do for her. Not ever.

But, Aubrey wasn't asking for that right now. She'd never asked for that and he had a feeling she never would. Right now she just wanted a little more… dominance from him. And even if he'd been hesitant at first, he felt like he could give that to her. Because, if he was being honest, a part of him wanted that, too. Adam was still plaguing his thoughts and some primal part of him had the ridiculous urge to claim what was his. And Aubrey was his. She would always be his.

Levi growled into Aubrey's skin, feeling his desire grow stronger every second. It was time to get started.

He kept his mouth at her neck, continuing his pattern of biting just hard enough to make her whine and then kissing away the mark before going back for more. But his hands… Levi had different plans for his hands.

His fingers trailed around her waist until they found the front of her shirt, tugging it out from her waistband. Thankfully, Aubrey hadn't worn straps today and neither had he. They'd been doing hand-to-hand combat the entire time… and now that small detail was saving him some precious moments.

His hand dove under the fabric of her shirt and Aubrey gasped again as he gripped her bra and tugged it down, exposing her breasts to his hands. He got to work immediately. His fingers pinched and rolled and Aubrey gasped for air, holding onto him desperately as his teeth continued to mark her neck. He could tell she was already losing herself to him. She wasn't going to put up any fight tonight… she wanted him to take her in any way he liked… and he was going to do just that.

"Arms up."

Levi whispered into her ear as he left her breasts alone for the moment. He wanted to undress her now.

Aubrey paused for a second. This was all somewhat foreign to her. Levi giving orders to her wasn't necessarily a common occurrence.

"Arms. Up."

Aubrey squeaked as Levi bit at the shell of her ear. That was all the encouragement she needed to follow his instructions. Her arms raised over her head and Levi practically ripped the shirt off her body. As soon as it was gone, his hands went to her hips and Aubrey squealed again as he turned her around, the force of his push causing her to sway ever so slightly.

Levi didn't pause, though. She felt his fingers find the hooks of her bra and before she knew it the garment was sliding down her arms and being tossed away and her torso was completely bare. Although, it wasn't like the bra had been covering much anyway. Levi had already had it pulled out of the way before he'd even removed it.

Aubrey squeaked as she felt Levi's hands slide around to her front, ripping at the buttons of her pants. He had her back pressed against his chest, his lips hungrily attached to the bend of her neck, leaving small nips and bites as he went. Aubrey let out a moan. He was definitely giving her what she'd asked for.

Aubrey expected him to remove her pants next, but… he didn't.

As soon as he had the buttons of her pants undone, his hand slid beneath the fabric if her underwear and his fingers started working.

Aubrey gasped and squirmed, but Levi wrapped his free arm around her front, holding her still against him and allowing his other hand to massage her breast. Aubrey whined as she felt her legs growing weak. Levi was already pushing her close to the edge. His thumb was tracing rough circles as two of his other fingers curled inside her. He was too good at this.

"Oh God, Levi."

Aubrey leaned back against him and she felt him growl against her at her words. But, what she didn't expect was for him to answer with his own words.

"Does it feel good? Hm?"

Aubrey's eyes widened. Levi rarely spoke in bed and when he did speak it was usually to whisper an 'I love you' or to let out a groan. But he was asking her a question. A very obvious question. Clearly it felt good. She could hardly keep on her feet and it was getting harder to stay quiet with every passing second. But Aubrey knew he hadn't asked because he wasn't sure. Levi… was going to dirty talk to her.

And, right now… she was all for it.

Aubrey nodded vigorously, her hands reaching up behind her to tangle in Levi's hair as she answered.

"Yes."

Aubrey's voice was squeaky and weak, but Levi didn't seem to mind one bit. That was what he wanted.

"Really? How good?"

Aubrey's fingers twisted in Levi's hair and she felt blood rush to her cheeks. She certainly wasn't opposed to this, but she hadn't realized that it would be somewhat… embarrassing. But Levi wanted it, so… she'd give it to him.

"It feels fucking amazing, Levi."

Aubrey heard him huff and he placed a chaste kiss behind her ear.

"Aww… you like my fingers?" Aubrey's entire body felt hot and the coil in her stomach was growing tighter and tighter. She was starting to lose her ability to speak. "Answer me, Aubrey. Whose fingers do you like?"

Aubrey squeezed her eyes shut. There was his jealousy. Good. He was getting it out. She'd tell him as many times as he wanted just how much she only wanted him. So, despite the fact that her mind was going blank and her throat felt tight, she'd give him the exact answer she knew he wanted.

"Yours, Levi. I like your fingers. Only yours."

Aubrey heard a groan escape Levi's lips and suddenly his fingers sped up between her legs, pumping and pushing faster.

"That's right. Good answer."

Aubrey squirmed, a small scream filling the room as Levi pushed her even faster than he usually did. His fingers were rough and quick between her legs and his hand was demanding as it stimulated her breast. It was almost overwhelming.

Aubrey knew she wouldn't be standing if she didn't have Levi holding her up. He had her unraveling and she wasn't even fully undressed yet.

Aubrey let out a high pitched mewl, unable to contain herself any longer. She couldn't see, couldn't think. She could only feel. And all she could feel was the coil growing ever so close to snapping at her core. Levi was so damn good at this. It almost wasn't fair.

But Aubrey didn't really care at the moment. She just wanted him to take her right over the edge and make her scream his name so much she wouldn't have a voice tomorrow. And, luckily, in that regard, they were on the exact same page.

Levi pressed harder, pumped faster, and, suddenly, Aubrey felt the coil snap.

"Levi!"

Aubrey screamed his name and her walls clenched around his fingers. She felt Levi groan and she released all over his hand, but he didn't stop yet. He kept going, providing her with all the stimulation she needed to ride her high for as long as she possibly could. But, when Aubrey finally collapsed against him completely, legs limp and chest heaving, Levi brought his fingers to a slow stop.

Aubrey took deep and heavy breaths, trying to prepare herself for what was to come. She knew that this was only the beginning.

She felt Levi's hand slide out of his pants and she saw his fingers glistening with her own fluids. It made her blush even harder, but what really made her blush was when she saw Levi's fingers travel to his mouth where he sucked them clean, groaning with pleasure as he did.

Aubrey's eyes widened and she struggled to breathe. It wasn't the first time he'd made a display of sucking his fingers clean, but it made her flustered every time.

Aubrey heard his fingers leaving his mouth with a loud pop and she whined as he gripped her waist and whispered into her ear.

"Did you enjoy that?"

Aubrey nodded, her eyes squeezing shut as one of Levi's hands gripped her ass.

"Yes."

Levi chuckled into her ear.

"Mm. Good. But, next time, be a little louder. I want the whole fucking castle to know exactly how much you like my fingers."

Aubrey choked on air again. The whole castle? More like he wanted Adam to know just how much she liked Levi's fingers. But Aubrey knew it wasn't possible. They were the only ones on the second floor and the stone walls usually acted as fairly effective sound barriers, but… he wanted her to be that loud? Aubrey swallowed nervously. She'd do it. Of course she would. It wasn't that Levi wanted Adam to hear… Levi wanted to hear for himself. So, she'd do it.

Aubrey nodded for him and Levi hummed approvingly. He was obviously satisfied with that answer.

"Good."

Before she could comprehend what was happening, Aubrey found herself falling onto the bed face down. Somehow, she hadn't even detected Levi's movements and he'd managed to send her straight into the mattress.

Aubrey landed with a small bounce and the bed squeaked lightly. She immediately tried to prop herself up on her elbows, but that plan didn't last long. She felt the mattress sink near her feet and, suddenly, Levi's body was pinning her to the bed.

Aubrey felt his lips on her shoulder, kissing and nipping their way across her back. She already knew where he was headed. There was a spot between her shoulder blades that made her squeal every time and he loved to take advantage of it when he could. It didn't get as much attention as the spot on her neck since it wasn't as accessible… but that only made Levi all the more excited when he got an opportunity.

His mouth closed around the spot on her spine and Aubrey let out a pitiful whine. It felt like a constant shiver was running down her spine. It never stopped unless Levi pulled away for air and it drove her crazy. It set her whole body on fire and sounds she didn't know she could make escaped her mouth. Loudly. Aubrey played them up, just like Levi had asked her to.

And Levi seemed completely satisfied with that. He gave one last suck to the spot on her back and then broke away, his breath tickling her skin as he brought his mouth to her ear.

"Your pants are coming off now."

Levi's words weren't necessarily a warning or a gentle comment, they sounded more like an order. Aubrey nodded, but Levi was already gone, his hands yanking off her boots and then moving to her hips and tugging her pants down her legs. Aubrey just let him. There was nothing else to do besides let him. Her underwear went next and then she was completely bare in front of him.

Aubrey felt his hands on the backs of her ankles and then they slowly slid up her legs, stopping on her hips. She expected him to flip her over then, but apparently he had one more thing to do first. She felt his teeth sink into the flesh of her behind and she gasped, her fingers fisting in the sheets as she mewled helplessly. But it was over after only a few moments and then Levi did exactly what she'd expected the first time. He flipped her.

Aubrey blinked a few more times, taking in the sight of Levi's half naked body. He'd removed his shirt and shoes at some point and only his pants remained. Aubrey hoped they wouldn't remain for much longer.

"Open."

Aubrey blinked again.

"I said open your legs, Aubrey."

This time, Aubrey didn't hesitate. Her legs spread instantly and she saw Levi smirk. She swallowed.

Levi crawled between her legs, his body hovering over hers as their lips met. Aubrey's mouth opened for him entirely, his tongue traveling to every corner and crevice. It was so good. Levi really had become an exceptional kisser over the course of their time together. Every movement of his mouth molded and matched hers until Aubrey could hardly distinguish her own lips from his.

And Levi was using all of his tricks tonight. Nibbles on her lip, hand pinching at her breast, tongue demanding and ruthless, hips grinding into hers… he was driving her crazy. And she was loving every second of it.

Aubrey couldn't decide if she wanted him to kiss her forever or if she was anxious for him to move on. But Levi made that decision for her.

He broke away from her lips, instead turning his attention to the sensitive spot on her neck. Aubrey gasped when he made contact with the skin. She was already breathless from the time he'd spent kissing her and now he had shivers going down her spine again. And, already, Aubrey could tell that Levi was planning to leave a mark. His sucking was more intense than usual and she knew she'd have a purple looking bruise for days. But… she couldn't bring herself to care.

Which was good… because Levi was planning to leave far more than one mark.

He kept sucking at the spot of her neck, loving the way she was squirming beneath him and letting out her whines at full volume, just like he'd asked her to. So far, he was doing alright. But, usually, he was always alright during this phase. He could be rough and demanding as long as he was pleasuring her, but when it came time to add his own pleasure to the mix… that was always when he froze, when he felt like shit, when he felt like he was using her.

But, tonight, he would try. He would try for her. And he knew that if he couldn't do it, if he had to back out, Aubrey wouldn't mind one bit. She never did.

Levi pulled his lips away from her neck, staring down at the large purple mark he'd left. He was rather proud of it. But it wasn't enough.

Aubrey could hide that mark in the morning if she wanted to. But that wasn't necessarily what he wanted. This was one piece of evidence he could leave behind to show everyone around exactly who Aubrey belonged to. Plus… the idea of Adam seeing Aubrey covered in marks left by his mouth… it made Levi feel far more smug than it should have.

So, he moved up, far up enough that no shirt could possibly cover the mark he was about to leave.

His lips latched onto her skin and started to suck and bite instantly. It only took Aubrey a few seconds to catch on.

"L-Levi! I can't hide it there!"

Levi broke away for just a moment, a string of saliva connecting his lips to her neck.

"Exactly. I'm going to mark you up and in the morning, you're going to walk right down to the Mess Hall and show Adam exactly whose lips you have on you every night." Levi heard her gasp and he grabbed her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes as he spoke to her. "You're mine, Aubrey. Understand? Mine."

Levi watched her eyes widen, a wild kind of passion in her gaze as she nodded. But a nod wasn't enough. He wanted to hear her say it.

He leaned closer, biting down hard on her bottom lip and revelling in her squeal as he spoke again.
"Say it, Aubrey. Tell me. Who do you belong to?"

Levi watched as she struggled to speak quickly, to get the words out as fast as he wanted to hear them.

"You, Levi. I belong to you. I'm yours. Only yours."

She sounded breathless, weak, helpless, resigned. And that was exactly what he wanted.

He locked his lips with hers again for just a moment and then returned to his new spot on her neck. This time, Aubrey didn't protest.

He worked quickly, savoring every moan that left Aubrey's mouth and loving the feeling of her nails scraping down his back, leaving marks of her own. He sucked harder and harder until he was sure he'd left a mark that would last for at least the whole week. When he pulled back, he smirked at his work. A large purple splotch was spread across Aubrey's skin, nice and dark. Perfect. There was no way Adam would be missing that.

But Levi wasn't even close to done yet.

He moved to the other side of her neck, finding a spot that would just peek out from her collar. Three marks. She'd have three marks on display tomorrow… as long as she didn't try to hide them. Which she wouldn't. Levi would make sure of that.

Levi started sucking again and Aubrey whimpered beneath him. She had no idea how many marks he was planning to leave, but she could already feel the embarrassment burning on her cheeks. The idea of having to parade around the fact that Levi had absolutely dominated her the night before to all of her soldiers was humiliating. How was she supposed to get them to listen to her when they were staring at the hickeys on her neck?

But Levi wanted it. And, tonight, anything Levi wanted… he got.

Aubrey rolled her head back as Levi continued to suck at his new spot. Apart from the fact that he was going to leave a giant purple mark on her neck… it felt amazing. Levi lips locked onto her skin, the warmth of his mouth, the grazing of his teeth. It was like heaven. And it ended too soon.

When Levi pulled away, Aubrey nearly whined for more. But she knew better. If she did that, she'd end up with a dozen hickeys on her neck rather than three.

So, she kept her mouth shut.

Levi's lips found hers again and Aubrey kissed him back excitedly. So far, he seemed alright. There were no signs of him losing it or breaking down like he sometimes did when they tried this sort of thing. She hoped it stayed that way. If he crumbled, she'd feel horrible for even asking and she'd feel horrible for causing him such pain. But there was no going back now. If he was good to keep going, so was she.

Their lips broke apart and Aubrey opened her eyes, finding a panting and slightly sweaty Levi hovering over her, his muscles flexing with every breath. He looked like a god.

Aubrey grabbed at him, her hands traveling over the planes of his chest and down his arms. He was so beautiful, like he was sculpted from marble. Sometimes she had to touch him just to remind herself he was real.

But Levi didn't let her touch for long. He dipped his head to her jaw, kissing along the line until he reached her ear.

"Do you want my fingers again?" Aubrey sucked in a sharp breath, gripping Levi's forearms as his breath washed over her skin. It sent goosebumps spreading all over her skin. "Or do you want my mouth?"

Aubrey shivered. This wasn't a question of whether she wanted another high, this was a question of how she wanted to get it. And she already knew her answer.

"Both."

Levi huffed, pleased by her answer. But he wasn't going to tell her that.

He nipped at her earlobe and Aubrey jolted. He only huffed again as he pulled back a bit.

"That's rather greedy of you…" Levi hummed into her skin as he made a quick stop to suck on her breast one last time. "But, alright… both it is."

But you should be careful what you wish for.

Levi chuckled to himself as he hiked Aubrey's legs over his shoulders and lowered himself onto the bed. If she wanted both, she'd get both. But maybe a bit more of both than she'd thought she was asking for.

Levi turned his attention to his work, staring straight ahead and seeing that Aubrey was absolutely ready for any part of him. She was soaked. He smirked. He took quite a bit of pride in the fact that he could take so much time prepping her. It was enjoyable for both of them. The amount of foreplay that went into their nights together was always at least ten times as long as the time he actually spent inside her. But he wouldn't have wanted it any other way. One of his favorite things in this world was pleasuring his fiancée. And, right now, he was going to pleasure her again, just like he'd done so many times before.

Levi turned his head, his lips locking onto the skin of her inner thigh and sucking hard. He heard Aubrey scream in a combination of pleasure and frustration. She wanted his mouth in a different place, but she couldn't deny that what he was doing right now felt good, too.

Levi laughed lightly as he continued to mark her skin. He didn't see why he should only leave marks where others could see them. He'd leave them in places where only Aubrey could see them, too. They'd be a nice reminder to her about who she belonged to.

Levi kept going, leaving one, two, three, four, five marks on her thighs before he was finally satisfied. Aubrey had whimpered his name the whole time, squirming around as he held her down. But now she was going to get what she'd been waiting for.

Levi inched forward, blowing cool air all over her. Aubrey cried out, obviously desperate for his touch, for his mouth. But, first, she was going to get his fingers.

Levi hooked one arm over her hips, pressing her into the bed, and then brought his hand forward, slipping two fingers inside her.

Aubrey yelped, feeling his fingers curl into the sweet spot he always managed to find so quickly. It felt amazing. She was aching for him, aching for absolutely anything he would give her. But she'd asked for both and she really wanted both.

"L-Levi. Your mouth. Use… use your mouth, please."

Aubrey tried to reach for him, to tangle her fingers in his hair and pull his mouth right to where she wanted him. But she never got the chance. He snatched her hand away, pinning it to the bed and pressing his fingers harder into the spot that made her scream.

Aubrey whimpered and whined loudly, loudly enough that a flush came to her cheeks as Levi answered her.

"Patience. You'll get both."

Levi eased the pressure off her g-spot and Aubrey whimpered again, not knowing whether she was grateful for the break or if she'd wanted him to keep going.

She didn't get much time to debate. Levi's thumb joined the mix, moving in soft circles around her clit and making her hands fist in the sheets.

"Levi!"

Aubrey screamed his name, remembering his request that she be 'louder next time'. Right now, she didn't care if the whole castle really did here.

His fingers sped up and the coil at her core tightened, threatening to snap even though Levi had only been between her legs for less than a minute. But she couldn't help it. He was just too good.

Aubrey felt her legs start to shake and her breaths turned to gasps, obvious signs that she was close. Levi seemed to pick up on them and Aubrey screamed again as his thumb pressed directly to her clit. Hard.

"That's it. Come on my fingers, Aubrey. Scream for me. Let the whole fucking castle know just how good I make you feel."

His words seeped through the air and straight into Aubrey's mind, replaying over and over again as Levi's fingers curled faster inside her. She was seeing white, her eyes rolling back in her head as the coil finally snapped and her release washed over her in all-consuming waves of pleasure.

"Levi! Fuck! Levi! Yes!"

Aubrey felt herself clenching around his fingers again and again as he helped her through her high. It was heavenly, stretching on and on until her body finally went limp and Levi let his fingers slide out of her.

Aubrey was already exhausted, her skin covered in a thin layer of sweat and her breaths coming in heavy pants. That had been a particularly good one.

Suddenly, a strong sucking noise filled the air and Aubrey lifted her head to find Levi sucking his fingers clean again, lapping up every bit of fluid like he hadn't had a drink in days. Aubrey groaned and let her head fall back again. Somehow, she knew they still weren't close to done.

And she was right.

Aubrey heard Levi's fingers pop out of his mouth and then she felt his hands on her waist, softly stroking her skin. She expected his face to appear above her, to have him ask her how that felt, or if she could scream even louder. But instead of his face moving to hover over hers, it moved somewhere else entirely.

Aubrey felt his tongue push inside her and her hips jerked off the mattress, only to be pressed down a second later by Levi's hands. His grip was unwavering and unforgiving, so strong that she couldn't hope to move an inch. All she could do was lay there and let him have his way with her.

"L-Levi!"

Aubrey called his name again, but this time more out of surprise than pleasure. What he was doing felt good, but she was still sensitive from her last high. He knew that, of course, and he was doing all of this on purpose. He knew that giving her no break meant overstimulating her. And that was exactly what he wanted.

Besides, she was only getting what she'd asked for. Both his fingers and his mouth.

Aubrey cried out, twisting the sheets in her fingers as she tried to get some sort of anchor. At this rate, she would be thrown over the edge again in no time.

Levi pushed his tongue deeper and deeper inside her until he couldn't reach any further. He lapped up everything she gave him, every bit of her desire was devoured instantly. He loved it. Her taste was incredible and he forgot every time just how hungry he was for her. Literally.

But he knew she needed more. Even if he was really enjoying his current job.

But, somehow, he managed to pull his tongue out from inside her, taking one last long lick before he moved to her clit, sucking harshly and making the most obscene noises he'd ever heard.

Aubrey screamed again, her body trying to convulse beneath him as she struggled to keep up with his pace. He knew he'd touched her again without giving her a break, but that had been his intention. He was so hungry. And he wanted to make her hit as many highs as it took for her to realize again and again that he was the only person in the entire fucking world that would ever make her feel this way, make her feel this good. By the time they were done, he wanted her to be nothing but a whimpering mess, so overwhelmed by the pleasure he'd just given her that she couldn't remember anything except his name.

So, Levi sucked harder, taking another long lick before returning to her clit again and bringing her closer to the edge. Her legs started to shake again, attempting to close around his head. He only grabbed her thighs, forcing them all the way down to the bed and keeping her spread wide for him as he kept working. She was almost there. He knew she was.

He could feel her muscles flexing and her fingers tangled in his hair during the last few moments before she finally broke and her release washed over her again.

She chanted his name like it was the only word she'd ever learned and she said it so loudly that the sound bounced off the walls and came right back to them. Levi loved every second of it, sticking his tongue inside her again and lapping up her release like a starving man. He didn't stop, not until the last shake had left her body and her muscles went limp again.

But they still weren't done.

His mouth found her clit again, his fingers finding her g-spot, and another scream escaped her lips.

"Levi, please! I can't! It's too much!"

Levi gave a particularly strong suck on her clit and she shrieked as he broke away to answer her.

"Yes, you can. And you will. It'll feel good. You know it will. Just let go."

Aubrey shook her head vigorously, tugging at Levi's hair as she tried to pull him away from her body. It was too much. She was too sensitive.

But Levi wasn't letting up. He seemed intent on getting her there one more time. And Aubrey knew it was all her fault. She'd said she'd want both his fingers and his mouth, but she hadn't specified how she wanted them. Separately or together. So he'd given her both.

Aubrey tugged at him, tears spilling down her cheeks as she felt the deep ache be overtaken by the pleasure, the coil in her stomach starting to tighten. He was going to get her there again. She didn't know how, but he was.

His fingers curled in and out of her with increasing pressure, hitting her g-spot over and over again until she could hardly think. And his mouth… his mouth sucked and licked and grazed her clit until she felt like she was going to explode.

It took almost no time at all for her body to tense again, for mixed whimpers of pain and pleasure to spill from her lips, and for her legs to shake. And then she lost it… again.

"Levi! Levi! I-I! Shit, Levi, I-!"

Aubrey didn't even know what she was trying to say. Her thoughts were incoherent, completely muddled by her high and the way Levi was still focused completely on his work, sucking and curling his fingers as she pulsed around him again. The pleasure was blinding, splotches of white filling her vision as her head pressed into the mattress and her back arched off the bed. She could hardly comprehend it. What had felt nearly painful just a minute ago had now become an all-encompassing high.

But, eventually, it was over and Aubrey sank into the bed again. This time, she only laid there, completely resigned to whatever Levi was going to do to her. If he made her come again without a break, she wouldn't fight it. She couldn't. There was no point. He was in total control right now.

"There. That wasn't so bad, now was it?"

Levi's face appeared over her and Aubrey squeezed her eyes shut, a loud whine filling the air.

Levi only laughed and pressed his lips to hers, grabbing her chin and forcing her mouth open so that he could let her taste herself. Her release was still coating his lips and mouth and he wanted her to realize just how good she tasted.

Aubrey took what he gave her, her tongue melding with his until he was satisfied and pulled away.

Aubrey met his eyes, seeing the burning intensity there as he spoke to her.

"What was that… four times for you now?"

Aubrey groaned and nodded. She honestly wasn't sure if it had really been four times, she'd just taken Levi's word for it. Her brain was still too muddled to count.

"Hmm… did you like it? Did you like having my tongue inside you? Did you like coming on face?"

Aubrey nodded again, this time choosing to add in a word.

"Yes."

Levi practically growled at her, his face dipping down until it was just a couple of inches from hers.

"Tell me why you liked it."

Even in her helpless state, Aubrey knew the answer he was looking for. And she gave it to him without hesitation. Because it was the truth.

"Because it was you."

Levi's lips crashed into hers immediately, his touch eager and violent. And then he broke away.

"Good answer."

Aubrey felt Levi disappear for a second and then she heard the sound of a metal buckle klinking. Levi was taking his belt off.

Aubrey heard it hit the floor and she lifted her head just in time to see Levi's pants hit the floor. And his underwear.

He was back on top of her in a second, but, suddenly, Aubrey wasn't really thinking about the fact that he was about to take her again. Instead, she was worried.

Her hands raised to his face and her facade melted away. For just a moment, she wanted him to quit the dominance and be honest with her.

"Levi…" Aubrey brushed a sweaty lock of hair out of his eyes. "Are you going to be alright?"

Levi paused instantly, realizing that they were taking a momentary break. Aubrey was checking in with him and therefore forcing him to check in on himself. But, the good news was… he was pretty sure he was doing alright.

He was a little anxious, a little worried about hurting her… but so far he didn't have any sign of that overwhelming feeling of disgust that he feared. He didn't feel like he was using her. At least… not yet.

"I think I'm okay. Just… make sure I can see your face. And, Aubrey, please, if you don't like it or if I hurt you-"

"You won't, Levi. You won't. But I'll tell you. I promise."

Levi gazed down at her, their eyes locking one more time before they continued. Aubrey gave his forearm a squeeze and he nodded. He could do this. They could do this.

So, Levi smashed his lips to hers again, forcing his tongue down her throat as she moaned. They were going to pick up right where they left off.

Levi pulled back, spotting all of the purple marks on her neck and remembering the ones he'd placed on her thighs. The two areas were too far apart. She needed more.

Levi dipped his head again, but this time he went to the flesh of her breast, sucking until a purple splotch appeared and then giving her nipple some attention and moving to the other side. He did the same, except he left two marks this time before moving to her stomach and leaving three more.

Aubrey took it all, moaning and mewling the whole time as he covered her body with his marks. He loved it, she loved… it was a win all around. But he had one more spot he wanted to visit. Levi grabbed at her right hand, bringing her wrist to his mouth and sucking again until he was satisfied with the amount of purple. Perfect. Now every time Aubrey rolled up her sleeve or it even so much as hiked up when she moved, that mark would be on display for all to see.

And with that, he was finally done. His lips left her body and he took a moment to sit back and simply enjoy the view. Aubrey was laid out in front of him, completely bare apart from the marks he'd just covered her with. She looked perfect.

Levi leaned over her again, his fingers trailing over the marks as he smirked at her, his words coming out in hushed whispers.

"There. Now, tell me, whose marks are these?"

Levi saw her squeeze her eyes shut and her body quivered beneath him.

"Yours."

Levi leaned closer, his lips only an inch from her own.

"That's right. And whose mouth do you like between your legs?"

Aubrey shook again and Levi bit gently at her jaw.

"Yours."

Levi hummed against her skin.

"That's right. And who do you belong to?"

Aubrey shivered so intensely that, for a moment, he was concerned that she was freezing cold. But he soon remembered the burning temperature of her skin and the thin layer of sweat that covered it. She wasn't cold, only intoxicated… by him.

"You."

Levi growled at her and she squeaked, his teeth sinking into her jaw.

"Say my name. Who do you belong to?"

Aubrey didn't hesitate.

"You, Levi! You!"

"Louder."

"You, Levi!"

Levi growled again and Aubrey whimpered beneath him as he moved away, sitting back on his knees and throwing her legs over his shoulders again. He felt a spark of worry go through him. This was it, this was the point where he'd either break or he wouldn't. He still felt alright and he knew Aubrey wanted this… but he still had just a speck of lingering doubt.

But he wasn't going to back out now. They'd already gotten so far and he wanted to see it through.

So, he grabbed Aubrey's hips and pulled her toward him as he spoke.

"That's right. You're mine. And now you're going to fucking prove it."

Levi gripped her hips harder, his fingernails leaving little imprints on her skin as he pulled her as close as she could get… and then he pushed inside her.

Aubrey gasped and Levi moved slowly. He always had to start slow. He couldn't be rough with her right off the bat. He needed to ease into it or it became too much and he broke down. And, right now, he needed to be careful. His desire was burning, begging him to rush to his release as soon as he possibly could. But he couldn't. If he did that, he'd feel exactly what he was trying to avoid. He'd feel like he'd used her.

So, no matter how badly his body wanted to chase his high, he knew he had to start slow..

And he did. His hips moved steadily, his knees moving to either side of Aubrey's body as they rocked back and forth. Aubrey's hands were already fisted in the sheets and incoherent babbles were spilling from her lips. She looked completely lost in her own pleasure. And that was exactly what Levi wanted. As long as he could see her face, see that she was enjoying herself, see that he wasn't hurting her, see that this meant something to her… he was fairly sure he could do it.

And he did.

His hands clamped around Aubrey's thighs, holding them to his chest and using that leverage to pick up their pace. Aubrey let out a tiny scream and more babbling followed. Levi only sped up even more.

Levi tried not to let the sensations overtake him. She just… she just felt so good. This angle was letting him go deeper inside her than he usually did and he could see that it was having an effect on both of them. Aubrey's back was already arching off the bed and loud moans were leaving her mouth. And Levi… he just couldn't get over just how warm and tight she felt. She was taking every bit of him and every time her muscles clenched, he felt like he was going to finish right then and there.

But he held out. Aubrey was going to finish before him, he always made sure of that.

He moved even faster, the bed squeaking as the headboard smacked the wall and the sound of skin hitting skin filled the air alongside Aubrey's mewls and moans. In that moment… the sounds were heavenly. They were exactly what Levi wanted to hear. Aubrey was under his complete control, letting him do whatever he wanted to her. And it was all because she was his.

"Levi!"

Aubrey called his name as a strangled cry escaped her mouth and Levi knew she was close. But he wasn't ready to let her own the edge yet.

He pulled her legs off his shoulders and crawled over her, his teeth instantly sinking into the flesh of her neck as he maintained their pace.

Aubrey cried out again, a small and surprised squeal leaving her throat.

"Tell me, Aubrey, who this-" Levi gave a brutal snap of his hips to emphasize what part of her he was talking about. "belongs to."

Levi started to suck on a new spot on her neck. If she took too long to answer, she'd end up with another, entirely visible, mark.

Aubrey squealed again, but this time it sounded so helpless and pitiful that Levi hardly knew what to do with himself.

"It's yours, Levi! Yours! Yours!"

Levi moved their hips faster, reaching up to grab the headboard for leverage as he brought his other hand to her clit, pressing down as hard as he could.

Aubrey shrieked so loudly he almost got scared, but he knew it was a shriek of pleasure, not pain. So… he kept going.

"My name, Aubrey. I want you to scream my fucking name so loudly that Adam hears all the way across this shitty castle."

Aubrey's body convulsed and her breathing became utterly erratic. She could barely find the air to speak, but, somehow, she did as Levi had asked.

She screamed.

"Levi!"

He only growled at her, his hips slamming into hers over and over again in a way that left her unable to think or see.

"Louder, Aubrey!"

Aubrey felt tears sliding down her cheeks.

"Levi!"

It still wasn't wasn't enough.

"I said scream, Aubrey!"

Aubrey shook her head, her body covered in sweat and fluids. But she wanted this. She wanted this so badly. Levi was giving her exactly what she'd asked for… and now she was going to give him what he'd asked for.

"LEVI!"

Levi felt a smirk come to his lips and he leaned down to whisper in Aubrey's ear.

"Good. Now… come."

Levi was absolutely amazed when she did exactly as he'd said. She screamed again, her eyes rolling back in her head and her back arching off the mattress as her legs shook.

It was one of the best sights in the world… and she was plenty to put him over the edge, too.

His desire overflowed, the coil in his stomach snapping as he brought his hands to Aubrey's hips, pulling her down onto him as he released inside her. It was animalistic and primal… and it felt fucking amazing.

Levi threw his head back, a groan escaping him as he gave her everything he had and she clenched around him like she was begging for more.

But, eventually, Aubrey's body went limp and Levi followed soon after, sitting back on his knees as his hands held onto her hips.

He could already see his release dripping out of her and he would have been lying if he'd said he didn't love the look of it. But that wasn't what he wanted tonight.

He grabbed her thighs and pushed them together, glancing up at Aubrey's face as he spoke to her.

"Keep it in."

Aubrey nodded immediately, barely processing what he'd said but following his order all the same. She pressed her thighs together and held in every drop.

Levi held in a sigh. They were done.

It wasn't that he hadn't enjoyed himself, he had… immensely… but it certainly hadn't been the easiest thing for him. The constant stress of wondering if he was going to break down hadn't been all that pleasurable. Still… it wasn't something he wanted to deprive Aubrey of completely if she enjoyed it. And, if he was being honest, he enjoyed it, too… just not all the time. He needed long breaks between attempts at being rough with her and then a lot of reassurance afterward. He knew that much.

And he could already see that Aubrey was waiting for him.

He let out a breath and moved to lie down beside her, his head immediately tucking into the curve of her neck as she held him. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close and feeling the warmth of her body against his as he let himself come down from the space they'd just been in. They'd been rough… now it was time to be gentle.

"Levi… are you alright?"

Levi let out a shuddering breath and nodded.

"Yes. I think so." Levi felt Aubrey press a kiss to his cheek and then her fingers went into his hair, combing through the strands softly. "Did I… did I hurt you?"

"No, Levi. No. You didn't hurt me at all. It felt good."

Levi was grateful for her instant reply. But he still wasn't convinced. He pulled his head back, scanning her body for any sign of pain or discomfort.

"Are you sure? Aubrey, if I hurt you I need you to tell me."

Levi's eyes moved rapidly, taking in the purple marks he'd left all over her, the imprints of his nails on her hips, the fading bite marks on her neck. She didn't appear to be in pain, but-

"Levi." Aubrey's hands moved to his face, guiding his eyes back to hers as he started to panic. She knew she needed to reassure him. Now. Or he'd be feeling inconsolable in seconds. "You did not hurt me. Not in the slightest. It felt good."

Aubrey gripped him more tightly, pulling his head back into her neck again and then moving her fingers back to his hair, scratching lightly at his undercut. She ran her other hand up and down his back slowly, caressing his skin and trying to let him know that he was alright. He hadn't hurt her. Not at all.

And Levi got the message. He relaxed in her arms, curling into her body as his mind settled. His hand found her hip and then his palm started to slide up and down her side, feeling her closeness and the smoothness of her skin.

He came down slowly, his breaths settling as Aubrey continued to smooth her hand through his hair, kiss his skin, whisper in his ear. It seemed strange that he was the one needing comfort after, but… he did need it. He didn't feel guilty or useless or like the scum that he so feared becoming. But he knew that was only because of Aubrey. Without her comfort, he'd be crumbling right now, begging for forgiveness and telling her he didn't mean it. He could still remember Aubrey's face the first time it had happened. Levi hadn't known it would happen himself. And it had been so early in their relationship. Far too early. Only a few weeks… they'd tried a position where he couldn't see her face and he'd just… frozen. He wasn't sure he'd ever felt so dirty in his life. He'd felt like he'd become the very scum he'd always despised as a child… a man who used women only for pleasure… and not for love.

But he didn't feel that way this time. This time… he'd enjoyed it. It helped that Aubrey had asked him for it, that he'd known she absolutely wanted it from the start. But it also helped… that he was jealous. Or that he had been jealous. Being rough with Aubrey, hearing her say just how much she loved his touch, just how committed she was to being his… it was exactly what he'd needed to get rid of any lingering resentment or anger. Just as it always had, sex had been another way for them to communicate.

Levi hummed into Aubrey's skin and let out a long breath. He felt stable now. Stable and steady in her arms… just as he always did. Aubrey snuggled closer to him, seeming to sense that he was finally returning to his normal state. And he was.

Levi turned his head whispering in her ear with a small smirk on his lips.

"You know… I think I did a pretty good job with that."

Aubrey huffed a laugh and Levi joined in with a chuckle of his own.

Aubrey only sighed and pulled him closer, pressing a light kiss to his neck.

"Yes, I'd have to agree. Who knew you could be so demanding?"

Levi chuckled again and nipped at a mark he'd left on her neck.

"Well, I had a job to do." Levi paused for a second, his smirk growing wider. "Do you think Adam heard you screaming for me all the way downstairs?"

"Levi!"

Aubrey smacked his back lightly, but Levi only laughed and snuggled closer to her, molding his body to her own.

There were a few seconds of calm silence with both of them simply focusing on the warmth and comfort that they each provided for one another. But then Aubrey spoke again, scratching at his undercut as she did.

"So… are you still jealous?"

Levi hummed, a small smile finding its way to his lips.

"No, just… smug." Levi lifted his head a bit to stare down at Aubrey's eyes.

Her eyebrows raised.

"Smug?"

Levi hummed again and gave her a small nod.

"Mm, yes. Honestly-" Levi lifted a hand and brought his fingertips to brush over the purple splotches on her neck. "I'm quite proud of these and I'm certainly looking forward to watching Adam's face when I kiss over them in the Mess Hall tomorrow."

Aubrey felt her cheeks redden instantly. That wasn't very Levi at all. It was far too bold… but maybe jealousy had made him bold.

"My God, Levi, every single one of my damn soldiers is going to be staring at my neck instead of my face for the next week."

Levi only huffed again and pressed a light kiss to Aubrey's flushed cheek.
"That was the idea. Maybe I'll have to find an excuse to show off those scratches you left on my back, too."

Aubrey squeezed her eyes shut, but she found herself laughing.

"Shit, Levi. You're going to be the death of me."

Levi snickered and grabbed at her, getting a steady hold on her body before rolling onto his back and pulling her on top of him. He wrapped his arms around her waist as his head sank into the mattress. He sighed again. This was what he wanted. Just himself and Aubrey, pressed so close that he could feel her heart beating with his own… and her body covered and filled with evidence that she belonged to him… and only him.

He wasn't often jealous and he wasn't often possessive, but, when he was… apparently he didn't hold back.

"Aubrey…" Levi whispered to her as his eyes fixed on the ceiling.

"Hm?"

Levi ran his hand up and down her back.

"Thank you."

The view of the ceiling suddenly disappeared as Aubrey appeared over him, her eyes bright and wide as she propped herself up on his chest.

"For what?"

Levi gave her a lazy smile and brought a hand to her cheek, gently brushing away loose locks of hair.

"For not making me feel… childish."

Her brows furrowed as Levi tucked a curl behind her ear. But he didn't hesitate to answer her.

"I just…" He met her eyes, his hand resting on her cheek. "I don't want you to think that I doubted you or that I doubted us, I just… couldn't help it." Levi took a shallow breath. "And I know I fucking pouted like a five year old. I should have told you how I felt right at the start. You're right. We've lost too much time. If I'd just told you at the beginning of the damn week, we could have avoided this whole fucking thing."

Levi watched Aubrey's face carefully as she processed his words. And… she smiled.

Her hand came to his face, her fingers latching in his hair.

"You're right. You should have told me. But I should have realized that you might feel differently than I did."

Levi reached up and wrapped his arm around Aubrey's neck, pulling her lips to his. He kept the kiss slow and gentle and passionate in every way he could. And, suddenly, he was hungry again. But, this time, he was hungry in a very different kind of way. No roughness, no harsh touches… he just wanted her body against him. Again.

But Aubrey broke away, her lips turning up at the corners as she started to slide away from him.

"How about we go take that shower you were talking about, hm?"

Levi panicked as she started to slide further and further off his chest, heading for the bathroom.

"Wait, Aubrey."

Levi grabbed at her wrist and Aubrey turned back to him immediately, concern plastered on her features.

"What is it?"

Levi's brows furrowed. He wasn't quite sure how to ask for this. But, he'd find a way.

He wrapped his arms around Aubrey's body and pulled her back to him, making any distance she'd put between them disappear.

Aubrey remained silent, staring at him as she waited for his explanation. And Levi gave her one.

"Aubrey, can we…" Levi swallowed, deciding to rephrase his question. "Again. Let's go again."

Aubrey's eyes widened instantly and she gave him a look of genuine surprise.

"Again? Already? After all that?"

Levi huffed a small laugh and rolled them onto their sides again. He reached down, grabbing her thigh and hooking her leg over his hip, effectively spreading her legs open again.

"I just… want to go slow."

Levi waited, watching her eyes for an answer… and getting it almost immediately. A smile came to her lips and she leaned closer, capturing his lips with her own as her leg tightened around his waist, pulling him closer.

"Of course, Levi. Of course we can go again. As slow as you want."

Levi felt his desperation grow and he nodded quickly, his hips moving against hers until he finally pushed inside her… slowly.

Aubrey didn't gasp or groan, she only hummed with pleasure. The sound caused a wave of warmth to spread through Levi's entire body and he pulled her closer, his mouth going to her ear as he whispered to her.

"I love you."

Aubrey closed her eyes, whispering the words back to him and then focusing only on the way Levi was pressed against her and the way he was slowly sliding in and out of her, sending shivers of pleasure from her head to her toes.

It was exactly what she wanted, what she needed. And this, this, was the Levi she knew. This was her Levi, the one she'd missed every second he'd been gone. But he was back now. And she knew that, at least for the rest of this visit, he was back for good.

A/N: Heyooooooo!

Okay, so FIRST THINGS FIRST, YESSSSSSS, I 100% believe that Levi has SOME kind of sexual trauma lol. I personally think he doesn't feel quite comfortable being rough with Aubrey and he has to be in a very safe and steady mindset if he's going to do it. I don't know if y'all remember, but I only wrote rough smut between Levi and Aubrey in the main fic one time and it was right after they first got together and they had a big fight. Levi spent the next hour in the bathtub telling her how bad he felt and then I think in Chapter 20 of Stay Alive, he tells Aubrey that he stills feels bad about it. This man has TRAUMA. I find it VERY hard to believe that he wouldn't have some kind of difficulty with sex after seeing how his mother was treated. Which is why I stick to a much more "top" Levi rather than "dom" Levi. I think he likes to top because he can provide Aubrey with the most pleasure that way, but that's pretty much the only reason. He doesn't like to dominate, really, and he certainly don't like to do any kind of hitting or degrading. TRAUMA, people. I will not lie… I HAVE read hard-dom Levi smut before and I WILL ADMIT that it is fun to read, but I just have a hard time writing him that way myself. I can only see him as soft and sweet little Levi lol.

ANYWAY, that's my take on Levi's sex life lol. If y'all want, I've been thinking about writing a one shot about the first time Levi had a break down because he can't see Aubrey's face. He talks about it a little bit in this one shot, but I think vulnerable Levi is just… something I really like writing lol. Anyway, tell me if that's something y'all would like to see.

Okay, ALSO, as a side note, I've made a Discord! I already have the tumblr account for this series and I've had some awesome convos with a ton of you over there, but I figured maybe we'd like to have more of a group chat thing. Idk, it just seemed like something a few of you might like, so I made one :)))) I'll be making another announcement about the Discord on the main fic when I post the next chapter, but I thought I'd announce it here, too. ANYWAY, I DID make the Discord nsfw just because I'm not sure what we're gonna end up talking about lol. I know we're ALL thirsty for Levi, so I thought I'd leave the option open lol. The link is only active/open for seven days after I post it here, so if you find this post AFTER those seven days and you'd like to join, just drop a comment and I can send you a new link. BUT, here is the link for now: /fg5DfNS7

Anyway, I hope a few of you will join! We can talk about anything, doesn't have to be Levi thirst lol. But also… I am open to the Levi thirst. RIP.

I hope everybody enjoyed this one shot! It was definitely more intense than usual, but sometimes it's fun to do that. Anyway, let me know what you thought and, as always, let me know if you have a request/idea! Love y'all 333
