Year 849- March.
Hange's voice was the first thing Elizabeth heard as the whole team rode on horseback. Not even Erwin's calling her had helped; whenever it was a question of titans she would light up and her enthusiasm became particularly contagious.
"Hange!"
"Yahooo! All you titans, I'm coming to get you!"
Elizabeth shook her head, barely laughing.
"She's always the same..."
Elizabeth checked for the third time that each gas cylinder was loaded and in place. Erwin's order had fallen to her that time and she certainly couldn't risk someone attacking the titans without enough gas.
When she had finished doing her work she approached her horse, where Levi was standing alone and undisturbed.
One simple glance of hers was enough for the Captain to understand what she wanted to ask.
"Hange is trying to convince Erwin again and it's a nuisance. I didn't want to hear."
"I see..."
The two were not far from the tent where the team leader was arguing with the Commander, hidden by some trees to be seen but close enough to hear what they were saying.
Hange got out of the tent trying to stop Erwin but it was useless.
On the contrary, Oluo's voice managed to make her stop.
"Hey wait Erwin!"
"It's useless Hange. We put our lives at risk just to kill those monsters, there is no way we can catch one alive."
Oluo kept his arms folded, showing, Elizabeth was sure, an expression too smug not to touch Hange's nerves in the wrong places.
The noise that followed was enough to make them both understand that the team leader must have grabbed Bossard by the collar of his jacket and was tightening him.
"Think about this Oluo, Let's say that Levi is coming to kill you, what would you do? Would you try to fight him and survive?"
Levi raised an eyebrow at being mentioned while Elizabeth, beside him, smiled at him with a note of malice.
The Captain came a few inches closer to her, indulging her gaze with the same intensity, but Hange's words were too interesting for Elizabeth who continued to listen.
"Of course not. Hey, I can't breathe."
"Do you want me to tell you how you could win? You do your reserch. The place he works, the food he hates, his taste in women, the number of times he's peed, find out everything about him. Once you know him you will find a weakness that you can exploit. If you don't do this before you fight you will surely die. "
Elizabeth turned completely to the Captain, getting close enough to whisper in his ear.
"What's your taste in women? Refresh my memory."
He turned his head just enough to make the same gesture as her, but without taking advantage of it to leave a little kiss on the ear to make her shiver.
"Blonde, eyes of different colors, irritating and annoying."
With that gesture Levi was able to completely disconnect Elizabeth's brain who had by now completely stopped listening to the discussion and was concentrating on Levi's gray irises, pointing at her as if he wanted to kiss her, but he did not dare to do so, despite being hidden from eyes indiscreet.
The only thing that awakened both of them from their little personal corner was Mike's voice calling everyone's attention for the arrival of the titans.
"Looks like it's time to go." he commented turning with her in tow, who immediately changed her expression to make sure that no one understood anything.
She was good at this, she had suppressed her emotions for a long time, she also knew how to keep them at bay when they were not needed.
"To all soldiers, get ready to fight!"
"Team leader is too dangerous to go alone!"
"Erwin I'm starting to go!"
Hange gives a shot of the reins, urging her horse to run beyond the soldier's concern.
Elizabeth turned to Levi, as if silently asking permission to follow her. The Captain advanced a few steps on horseback until he was completely alongside the blonde.
"Hange wait!" Erwin tried to call her but did not get the slightest attention from the team leader, now too far away to be able to listen to him, so the Commander turned towards the Captain. "Levi, Elizabeth."
"Tch, that imbecile."
"I knew she would!" added Elizabeth, following the Captain to where Hange was going.
The group reached the spot where Hange had been pushed up against the wall by the titan, finding her with her back against a tree and the titan appearing to react to her words.
Bossard preceded Elizabeth, throwing himself on the back of his neck to kill him with a blow but the squad leader stopped him, causing him to lose concentration.
Oluo immediately ended up in the titan's fingers and Levi acted on impulse, freeing him with a precise rotation of the blades and killing him.
The teammate fell to the ground while Levi was already cleaning his blade from the dirt that covered it.
"Are you okay?"
"Captain I will follow your orders forever!" Oluo exclaimed, grateful to have been saved so quickly.
Elizabeth suppressed a laugh at the reaction of her companion who usually tried to always have a superior attitude to others.
"This baby could have been an important specimen. If we had captured him, humanity would have made important progress."
Elizabeth watched the Captain, closing her eyes slightly in resignation to see a blind anger darken the face of Levi who immediately grabbed her by the collar of his jacket to raise her to his level.
"Stop it four-eyed bitch! If you want to become the shit of a titan then I won't stop you but I won't allow you to risk my men's lives!"
Nor that of Elizabeth, he added mentally.
It was Elizabeth who was about to take action to save Hange and she could be in her place. He knew how much she cared about the squad team but he also had to take into account that one of those people was the one he had chosen to share his life with.
"Titans don't defecate, they don't have a digestive system."
Levi was furious, he had the desire to violently beat her but she was still useful and he could not hurt her. So he decided to let her fall badly to the ground, hoping to hurt her a little and the only thing that could barely calm him was Elizabeth's hand that touched his forearm, stopping him from making other gestures towards the team leader.
By now she knew how dangerous he was with that expression and she wanted to avoid someone getting hurt or having certain things said in front of everyone.
Elizabeth turned to Petra, begging her to help her in some way until her teammate found the perfect opportunity, just as she turned her gaze in search of something.
The girl fixed her gaze on the trunk of the tree, being shocked.
"Em, Captain?" she called Petra without taking her eyes off that exact spot.
Elizabeth joined her friend sharing her thoughts as she saw what she was looking at.
"What's up?"
"Was it a titan? But it can't be ..."
Levi turned his gaze where everyone was now looking to find something creepy.
That body must have been there for a long time. What he noticed was that of all Elizabeth was the least impressed, she seemed to look at him with curiosity, with regret but not with disgust.
That remained a person who had lived by giving her life for humanity, considering the jacket he was wearing, and for Elizabeth there was nothing disgusting in that end. Just very sad.
Bossard shivered in fear, some put their hands in front of their mouths to hide the shock while Hange immediately went to examine her.
"The emblem of the 34th expedition. This soldier died a year ago."
Elizabeth touched the Captain's arm again, pointing to the tree roots this time, showing him something she had just noticed.
Levi picked up what she had shown him, noting that it was a diary, and began to examine it.
"Her name was ..." he began, flipping through the pages in search of some useful information. "Let's see ... Ilse lagnar."
"I can not believe." murmured Hange continuing to examine the corpse and calling Elizabeth's attention for help. She was the one who was least impressed by things, a spirit akin to his yet less obsessed with titans. "Why would a Titan have ... Levi what is it?" she then asked noticing the Captain who continued to examine the diary with attention and curiosity.
"This is the fruit of Ilse Lagnar's efforts."
Elizabeth felt sad for that girl. It was really curious though, she had to admit. Of all the anomalies she had never seen one who had built some sort of tomb for someone he had killed, and had taken care to make sure that no one touched that corpse.
Elizabeth found that perhaps Hange was right. It was worth catching one alive and she also believed she knew how to get Erwin to at least be heard.
"Didn't they ever teach you to knock?" Levi asked as he saw Elizabeth enter his office and lock the door behind her, as she now used to do.
She didn't take offense at his provocation, on the contrary she knew that he wasn't being serious and decided to keep up with him.
"My man usually leaves it open for me."
Levi licked his lower lip; it was amazing how every time she defined him in that motion he felt a surge of pride in her chest, he was the only one who could define himself that way for her, the only one who had attracted her attention and at the same time she was for him.
"Too bad only your captain is here." he answered neatly putting away the sheets with which he had concluded just before, waiting for her.
"Mmmm, then I'll have to settle for you Captain."
"What a pity." he commented trying to keep his expressionless face as much as possible that she, who knows how, could still read.
She slowly approached him then going to sit astride him and resting her hands on his shoulders to hold on better.
Levi instinctively grabbed her by the hips, helping her hold on but also holding her closer.
Elizabeth gave him a little kiss on the tip of his nose making him embarrassed. He was not used to her small gestures of sweetness but by now he was used to them and they had become part of his daily life: even just the care with which he prepared the tea was something that warmed him inside.
He was completely in love with that woman.
"You went hard with Hange today." she began in a calm tone; she wasn't accusing him, she was just worrying about a friend. "You could have taken it slower."
"No, I couldn't. I have a reputation to uphold." he answered making her laugh slightly. He brushed a strand of rebellious hair from her face, wedging it behind her ear. "Besides, it could have been you instead of him. I can't risk having my team killed to catch one of those monsters."
"But you left her the diary anyway after reading it. And most likely you also know that it will only increase her desire."
Levi brought his hand back to her hip, stroking the skin under her shirt. She had changed on their return, replacing her uniform with simple clothes.
"I do not need it."
"But it intrigues you to know why a titan kept a corpse in a tree trunk instead of eating it, right?" she asked, barely straightening her back to study every movement of his face. By now she had come to know him, had watched him so many times when they just talked, trying to see what others didn't bother doing.
"I wondered, yes." he admitted looking at her then approaching his face until he felt her breath on his lips.
So inviting that he certainly couldn't refuse.
"However it's none of my business, now I have other things to take care of."
"And what about?" she asked, lowering her voice to a whisper, shuddering with expectation.
"Of you."
"How cute." she murmured on his lips as he was reaching out to kiss her. However, her phrase made him stop shortly before making that contact, raising an eyebrow not entirely in agreement with her.
"I'm not cute."
"Yes you are." she answered smiling and he understood everything. She was doing it on purpose.
"You know I'll make you regret it, right?" he asked, moving a little closer to her firmly until their noses touched but still not kissing her.
"What are you waiting for?"
Levi bridged the gap between them, taking her lips between his and savoring her taste like fresh water in the desert.
Levi moved his hands on her back, under the shirt, causing shivers on her skin and feeling her writhing towards him, imprinting herself even more against his body.
He pushed her further against him, moving his lips along her chin, then down her neck and stopping near her ear.
Elizabeth's chills quickly became his as his pants began to get tighter and tighter. She brushed against him, making him feel how much she wanted him but also feeling how much he wanted her.
That slightest contact was about to ruin every crumb of Levi's initiative, who would have taken it even instantly on his desk but had promised her that he would make him pay and he always kept his promises.
Elizabeth's hands were faster than his and they went to take off his jacket and then his shirt as she went down Levi's neck, kissing him with desire.
The tingling in her lower abdomen was making her rush to have him; it was like a drug: the more you have, the more you want. For many she would have been considered a pervert but for her there was nothing more beautiful than being able to make love with him, especially after a whole day of pretending that he meant nothing to her.
Levi hadn't the slightest intention of letting her take charge that evening, stripping his chest just because he knew how much she liked it but stopping her before she could go any further. He lifted her slightly, without the slightest effort, and set her on her feet just long enough to undress her lower body with a firm movement, before sitting her on the desk.
The blonde was incredibly permissive with him, let him do what he wanted and followed him in his every desire.
She still didn't know what he was thinking of.
With his hands he stroked her legs, rising from her knees to her hips, with an exhausting slowness for her; she arched her back as his hands approached her opening without touching her.
Each touch made her thrill and thrill with expectation but he wasn't about to move or do something, he just tortured her with those seemingly innocent caresses.
One thing was certain, he knew how to take revenge.
Elizabeth closed her eyes, arching a little more under his touched touches, then feeling him push her down until her back touched the cold wooden surface of the desk.
Her legs spread open by his hands, while his eyes delighted in the sight of that wonderful body.
He took advantage of her closed eyes and, without warning, went to kiss her right where Elizabeth trembled most, making her moan.
One of her hand went to shut her mouth, to prevent anyone from hearing her in case they decided to disturb the captain, while the other went to harpoon the edge of the desk above her head in search of a foothold.
His tongue penetrated her, tasting her slowly at first and then sucking her clit.
Containing her moans was so difficult.
She lifted her other hand from the edge of the desk to sink her fingers into the captain's hair, pushing him against her and moving her pelvis at the pace he had set for her.
He was torturing her, he was taking her to the limit but without giving her the fulfillment she was now seeking.
He wouldn't let her come that easily.
He pushed her closer and closer to orgasm, opening her thighs even more with his hands, ensuring better access, but stopping just when he felt her too close and ready to explode.
Her hands gripped his hair, letting him know how far she was struggling. But that sight began to become too much even for him and the pants now too tight to contain him.
He pulled away from her opening, leaving her still lying on the desk and panting as he quickly removed all the clothes she still had on.
He released his erection and quickly directed it towards her, penetrating her a second time and grabbing her hips with his hands, just lifting her pelvis off the desk.
Elizabeth's brain was completely turned off and Levi was about to join her in that sweet oblivion in which they allowed themselves to get lost only when they were completely alone. If enduring all day was what they had to endure to experience those moments then it was definitely worth it.
Levi's thrusts were strong and disjointed, so eager for her that he could not impose a constant rhythm other than the one that followed her groans, joining her.
He lay down with his chest on her, pressing her even more against the desk and using it to squeeze her even tighter, feeling her tremble beneath him.
"Harder." she whispered in a faint voice, now close to complete ecstasy, asking him to make her come. And he gave it to her by increasing the speed to accommodate her wishes, burying his face in her neck and biting her white skin. He was sure to leave a mark but he couldn't think of it, not with her holding him so deliciously.
Her hands gripped his hair and then his shoulders, digging her nails into his flesh as he pushed her over the edge, making her come with a rambling moan.
Levi continued to push, supported by the movements of her pelvis that called him to reach her and shortly after he filled her with his semen, pushing deeper.
Levi was so pleased that he didn't even care that his papers had all fallen to the ground, too busy kissing Elizabeth again to even notice it.
