Yes, we're back. Had a weird few months, but here we are. First of all, yes I changed the fic title. It was my original title but I didn't want to be that cheesy at the time, but now I don't care anymore. Bring on the cheese. Also, according to recent leaks, the new chapter of SNK has a similar plot element to something I had planned for this story. I won't be changing it because it's a key plot point but wow, thanks Hajime! Next chapter of this is pretty much all written by the way, so staaaaay tuned my lads and ladies. As always, enjoy the indulgent smut and romance.

Chapter VII: Bewitched

You keep crawling on
Don't wanna let it go
So you keep holding on
To feel whole

That day Reiner decided to do something a bit out of character: study. Sexual studies, specifically. It was definitely convenient that his partner had quite a bit of experience, even if it came from a pretty awful situation, but Reiner wanted to 'be a man' and be able to take charge of the intimacy. Not all the time though, Priscilla being so forward was pretty sexy, Reiner had no problem with allowing her to direct things according to her own whims. He had pulled several books from the shelves, an unrealistic amount for him to go through and absorb every last line of information, but he grabbed as much as he could nonetheless.

Map Of The Female Form
The Complete Female Anatomy
Sex & Intimacy
Getting The Most Out Of Sex

...Were just a few of Reiner's selected materials for study. It wasn't exactly simple, though, especially trying to decipher the complexity of the female body. The diagrams and illustrations presented within these books were both helpful and overwhelming to him. What made it worse was the 'disclaimer' about every woman being different in what they want to get off. The real fear struck him when he saw the words 'sometimes she just can't achieve orgasm with her partner and needs to do it herself.' Reiner couldn't imagine anything more emasculating than that. He already felt pretty embarrassed about his early climax the previous night.

"Reiner? What are you doing?"

Bertolt had appeared behind Reiner. Reiner was never the bookish type, in fact Bertolt hadn't seen him open a book for leisure for years... if ever. Reiner shifted in his seat to face his friend but didn't stand, a look of smug satisfaction adorned his face.

"Just some studying." He replied.

"Studying? What the hell are you studying?" Bertolt asked as he moved closer to get a look at Reiner's pile of books.

Reiner made no effort to try and conceal what he was reading, he just watched as Bertolt went through the books with that same smug grin. Why would he be ashamed of the fact that he was getting laid? Bertolt's eyes went wide and a thick drop of sweat ran down his face.

"Reiner..." Bertolt began, "You've lost your mind. You've lost sight of... everything!"

"I told you I have everything completely under control." Reiner sternly assured him.

"How could you do these things with... with one of them? How could you even want to?" Bertolt continued in a lowered voice, "It's not right. She must know... and that's why she's trying to distract you from the mission. I don't know how she would know but that's gotta be it."

"You're just paranoid." Reiner shot back. He was growing quite irritated with his comrade's disapproval of his actions, "She does know about me though. I told her."

"What?!" Bertolt shouted, "Why would you do that?! Y-You've just thrown away everything we've worked towards for years!"

"We can trust her." Reiner insisted through gritted teeth, "She hates the 'people' here too. She'll be our ally when the time comes."

"I can't believe what I'm hearing..." Bertolt replied, "She's our enemy. An enemy to the entire world."

"No!" Reiner shouted, jumping up from his chair and getting in Bertolt's face. Despite Bertolt being a couple of inches taller than him Reiner always could be more intimidating than Bertolt ever could, "She's different, I can tell. I don't know what it is yet, but maybe if we brought her to Zeke we could..."

"Be quiet!" Bertolt shouted back, "We don't know who could be listening in... I know you're stubborn but please... rethink what you're doing."

"I've already made my decision," Reiner said, "I'm bringing her back home with us."

Priscilla was lazing about in Reiner's bed within the barracks, hardly a care in the world. In fact the only thing on her mind was wondering just where he was. They had made a plan to meet up for a last tryst before they were sent to different posts, but he was taking an awfully long time to get back to the barracks. As she grew impatient, the pale girl rolled onto her stomach with a displeased huff. She mushed her face into Reiner's pillow and let out a long, frustrated groan. Her guttural whining masked any other sounds around her, including the footsteps of Reiner entering the barracks.

"Been waiting long?" He asked as he approached his girl in his bed. Priscilla sat up quickly.

"A bit," She spoke as she brushed pesky strands of hair out of her eyes, "I was worried you might have forgotten."

"Are you kidding?" Reiner laughed as he sat down on the bed beside her, where he placed a strong hand on her thigh and gave it a rub, "No way I could forget."

His gentle stroking of her thigh gradually turned into a tight squeeze. It was Reiner's turn to be aggressive. He leaned in close to her and whispered into her ear:

"Take off your clothes."

Priscilla was pleasantly surprised to see him already initiating sex, they'd only just begun these kinds of things the other night. She didn't dwell on this for more than a few seconds as she was more than eager to have another go with him. She frantically unbuttoned her shirt and tossed it behind her and quickly removed her bra as well.

"Taking charge?" She purred as she let her undergarment fall to the floor after her shirt, "I like that... It's sexy."

Reiner then effortlessly pulled her from his side and onto his lap so she was facing him, putting her lovely breasts right in his face. While just looking at them was great, his wild virility wouldn't allow him to just sit there and stare for very long. He plunged his face into her chest, taking one tit into his mouth while one of his strong hands roughly groped at the other. Priscilla let out a tiny gasp when his mouth made contact. He hungrily sucked on her breast while kneading at the other, Priscilla almost felt like he was going to start devouring her if he couldn't control himself.

Reiner then pulled back slightly so that he didn't have a mouthful of her and instead focused on her already hardened nipple. He did his best to think back to his sexual studies from earlier, leading him to lightly lick and flick at it with his tongue. He also switched his hand from grabbing at her whole other breast to teasing at her nipple with his thumb. Priscilla gasped again and let out a moan as he went for a more refined method of pleasuring her. Her head fell backwards and her eyes shut tightly.

Even after the other night by the lake she could hardly believe she was with Reiner like this. She felt like she was having a wonderful dream that she would eventually wake up from just like that night in the frozen cave. Those dreams felt real, but this was so much more real which lead her to the conclusion that this couldn't possibly be a figment of her imagination. She finally had him, had him all to herself... and nobody could take him away from her. Reiner alternated between teasing at her nipple with his tongue to light suckling on it, still thumbing at the other in a circular pattern. After letting out his own moan against her breast, he suddenly pulled away.

"It's you, Priss..." He murmured, "It's always been you. I love you. Nobody else. But I could never bring myself to involve you with me for... You know."

"Like I said, none of that matters..." She cooed, looking back towards him, "I... I love you, Reiner... and I have for so long... but right now you just need shut up and fuck me."

With that, Reiner wrapped his arms around her and pulled Priscilla in close to kiss her hard and passionately. Those perfectly sized tits of her pressed up hard against his own chest as she threw her arms around him as well. They moaned into each other's mouths, holding onto each other so very tightly as they sloppily made out. It was unbearable for Reiner to keep his erection contained within his pants any longer, it had reached it's full hardness and was aching to be touched by her.

"I have to... get it out..." He tried to say as Priscilla kept going at his mouth hungrily, "And your pants.. off..."

Despite hindering his ability to clearly speak, she got the message loud and clear. Priscilla backed off and stepped backwards onto the floor where she eagerly stripped off her pants and underwear, leaving her fully exposed. Reiner barely had time to pull out his cock before she launched herself at him again. Much like their first time, Priscilla positioned herself on top where she briefly hovered her entrance over his erect penis. Using her fine skills of dexterity, she grabbed it firmly and guided it into her as she lowered herself.

Priscilla let out a slight gasp when she felt his head start pushing inside her again, she recalled all too well just how great it was to feel it for the first time... and here, it was just as good. Despite her wetness it was still hard to get it in. Reiner was sitting back while he watched his lady command the situation. So much for him taking initiative, but at this point, he didn't really care. He let out a quiet moan of his own as he slowly felt her warmth envelop his cock the further it went in. With no need to guide it with her hand anymore, Priscilla let it go and held Reiner by his shoulders. Taking in a deep breath, she closed her eyes and made the final "push" to get his hard, fat cock all the way inside of her.

Reiner's moan was loud, louder that it should have been given that they weren't in a very private place. At any moment, any of the other boys from the 104th could walk in and see what the lovers were doing – but these two were too far gone in their lust to think about the danger of being caught. Priscilla started to move up and down on him while her loving gaze was fixed on his beautiful face – everything about him never failed to take her breath away. Reiner could barely keep his vision focused and his face would twitch each time Priscilla fully lowered herself onto his cock to take it all in again. She lingered for a moment that time and grinded her hips up against him.

Reiner's hands found their way to her ass which he gripped tightly as she rode him, he also leaned forward to suck on her breasts again. The combination of his hungry mouth on her tit, the deep penetration and her rubbing her clit against him made her cry out in pleasure – a loud moan that someone surely had to have heard. This was a tier of pleasure she could never achieve on her own, no matter how well she knew her own body and what got her off. Priscilla breathed fast and hard, her body was quickly getting overwhelmed, and Reiner was well aware of that fact. He held her close because he could tell they were both nearing their climax.

"Hold on..." Priscilla breathed, because she could feel it too, "I want you to finish in my mouth."

"No, I want you to come first." He growled in response.

But Priscilla knew better, if their last encounter was anything to go off of, if she came while he was inside of her it would surely lead to him losing his ability to last. He was still quite new to this, after all. As she had done previously, Priscilla took the situation into her control. She took his cock all the way inside her once again before pulling herself away. She moved down to the floor on her knees and grabbed his still hard as a rock dick in both hands, squeezing it firmly as she jerked. If he was close to finishing then there was no need for a slow build up – no, she went at it fast and hard.

With her furious stroking sent him closer and closer to cumming, Reiner's body twitched and his moans increased despite his best efforts to stifle them. Priscilla could hear him through gritted teeth saying he was about to cum, so she lunged forward and took his penis into her mouth – bobbing up and down with both hands still gripping it tightly.

"Fuck!" Reiner shouted.

His entire body went tense as he unloading his seed into his lover's mouth, shooting it into the back of her throat. Two, three, four... a total of five shots of cum that Priscilla swallowed happily. Despite this, she kept her mouth on his cock and sucked on it lightly for a bit more, flicking at the head a bit with her tongue. She looked up at him sweetly while she still held him in her mouth, but soon pulled away. She coughed a bit after swallowing his impressive load, but it was a small price worth paying.

"Thanks..." She murmured, "I always wanted to get a taste of you."

She climbed back onto the bed where she laid down with her head on his pillow. Reiner was just within reach for her to grab onto his strong forearm and give it a longing tug to get him to lay with her. He didn't need any more of an invitation than that so he obliged and laid down next to her where he wrapped her up tightly in his arms. Priscilla's face went red – the wholesome and deeply emotional moments they shared were just as important to her as the sex was, but in a different way.

"Remember..." She breathed with her cheek resting on his chest, "Remember when we first laid together like this?"

"That's not something I'll ever forget." He responded with a wry chuckle, "Your intentions with that weren't purely survival, were they?"

"Well no, not exactly but... it's not like we could have done anything with your broken leg!"

"You could have easily gotten on top." He shot back playfully.

"At that point I honestly didn't think you wanted me like I wanted you..." She admitted in a small voice.

"I just said it, but let me do it again... it's always been you. You really have no idea how many times I've dreamed about you in indecent ways or consciously thought about you like that to get off," He said.

"I've done that plenty too Reiner, I can promise you that. I could never and would never think of anyone else when I touched myself," Priscilla said, "And to be able to lay with you, skin to skin, I thought maybe that was as good as it would get for us. But... here we are."

"Yeah, here we are." He echoed.

It hadn't even been that long but Priscilla had grown so bored with Reiner gone. He, among other members of the 104th, were stationed near the southern part of Wall Rose. And here she was all cooped up in Ehrmich District with those that remained, the likes of Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Hange and Levi just to name a few. She couldn't help but worry since she knew those not with them didn't have their equipment on them, but what could possibly go wrong?

Why am I even here... She wondered as she let out a yawn.

Hange was briefing the group with information about Annie and her origins. She never had much of a relationship with Annie so this was all so terribly dull to Priscilla. Hange brought up how her place of origin was the same as Reiner and Bertolt's, which wasn't news to Priscilla at all. The words of everyone who spoke started to meld together into nothing but bothersome noise and her mind wandered to much funner things...

God I'd love to be getting f-

"Ziegler!" Hange shouted. Priscilla snapped out of her thoughts immediately and stood at attention, "You were always close with Braun, surely he spoke of his home to you?"

"No, not at all." Priscilla spoke, which was pretty true. He never said anything specific about where he came from, "That wasn't relevant."

"And what did you speak of that was relevant?" Hange pressed.

"Well, that's personal..." Priscilla replied with a smirk, but Hange wasn't in the mood for jokes.

"We know he and Bertolt were conspiring with Annie," Hange went on, "There's no way you were clueless to this fact. Tell us what you know."

"Maybe she just needs some convincing to get her talk." Levi suggested, "Lock her up. We can't risk her warning those two when they return."

"What the hell?!" Priscilla shouted.

Two large men grabbed her by each arm roughly and started to drag her away. Priscilla thrashed and grunted wildly, but she was no match for the soldiers that had apprehended her. She started to scream – to shout out Reiner's name as if he could possibly hear and come to her rescue. Her comrades watched her get taken away against her will with mixed emotions – some full of disdain and others with embittered pity. There's no way they could deduce that she knew Reiner was the Armored Titan, but their suspicions alone were enough to condemn her.

I won't betray him... I never... I'll never tell them anything... No matter what they do to me.

Two tents were set up on top of Wall Maria with a small campfire set up between them. Bertolt sat next to the fire, which had a pot of coffee hung above it which was almost ready to drink. Bertolt then heard footsteps behind him and looked over his shoulder.

It was Reiner. But he wasn't alone. In his arms was the limp body of Priscilla.

"Reiner?!" Bertolt exclaimed as he hopped to his feet and ran over to his friend, "Where did you... What is she..."

"She was wandering outside of Wall Rose by herself," Reiner explained as he moved past Bertolt and closer to the fire.

Reiner knelt down and carefully placed her body by the crackling fire with the hopes it'd bring her some kind of comfort, if she was even able to feel anything that is. He looked down upon her with worry in his eyes, when he found her she was alive and on her feet, but she hadn't moved a bit since he had grabbed her. Bertolt approached Reiner from behind.

"Is she... dead?" He asked.

"It's shallow but she's still breathing." Reiner answered, but was uncertain, "I want Zeke to take a look at her."

"Hm? Take a look at who?"

A man with glasses and blonde hair (with facial hair to match) emerged from one of the tents. He adjusted his spectacles as he made his way over to Reiner and Bertolt, and of course Reiner's female companion.

"Her." Reiner stated the obvious to Zeke, pointing down at Priscilla as he did so. Zeke squatted down near Priscilla's body and looked her up and down curiously.

"And just who exactly is this?" Zeke asked, not taking his eyes off the girl.

"She's..." Reiner began, but the words wouldn't come to him. Girlfriend? Lover? Partner? There was no easy way to explain to his Warchief what this situation was.

"She's a witch that Reiner fell in love with during the mission." Bertolt interjected frantically.

"A witch? Hah!" Zeke threw his head back and let out a hearty laugh, "There's no such thing as witches, what an absurd thing to say... But what about the rest, Reiner?"

"Huh?" Reiner densely asked.

"Is it true that you have feelings for... whoever this is?" Zeke clarified, looking up at Reiner over his glasses, "I don't see why else you would bring her here..."

"I do." Reiner admitted boldly, "But she's not like the rest of them here. I can tell she's no devil."

"How could you possibly be able to tell?!" Bertolt exclaimed, "You're not thinking with the right head, Reiner..."

"Hmm..." Zeke hummed as he looked her up and down again. He gently placed a finger on one of her eyelids and lifted it to get a look at her eye, "Unusually vibrant color... Hair and complexion are peculiar too... Where is she from?"

"I..." Reiner started, but was stopped dead in his tracks when he realized he actually got a real answer out of her concerning her hometown, "I don't know. She was in an orphanage in Shiganshina for years until she lived on the street, but before that... no idea."

Zeke let her eye close again, sat back and crossed his arms. He grew silent and pensive, still not taking his eyes off the girl. He was deep in thought, the gears in his head spinning wildly. Reiner was suddenly distracted by his actions in the past, the fact that he was the reason her orphanage was destroyed. It still haunted him. And now, if her having the knowledge of him being a shifter is what got her exiled, the guilt weighed heavily on him even more. Bertolt, however, was present enough to notice Zeke's ponderous state.

"Zeke? What are you thinking?" He asked slowly. Zeke chuckled.

"I have a theory," He explained, adjusting his glasses once more, "But I don't want to get into it until I can confirm it. No use in baseless speculation until I can actually speak with her. Until then, she's our little mystery."

"Alright enough talking," Reiner commanded, which shocked Bertolt, "Help her. Please. She could be dying."

"I don't appreciate you giving me commands, Braun, but I'll do what I can." Zeke responded, "Your love for this woman must run deep for you to be so bold."

Reiner reached out to her and caressed her face – it was cold. Not at all how he remembered her feeling. The crackling fire reminded him of their night together in the cave.

"Hey." He added to grab her attention.

"Huh?" She looked up at him.

"You're pretty amazing, you know that?"

He recalled how warm her bare body was when she cozied up next to him. Even more vivid was his memory of their sexual encounter at the lake, where he was made aware that she was as warm on the inside as she was on the outside – actually, moreso in terms of her insides. He was well aware of how inappropriate these thoughts were in that moment, but he was a virile young man who was a slave to his biology. He was most concerned with her well being right now though. Reiner had made it one of his duties to liberate her from the Hell of this island and he wasn't willing to let her die before he could show her what kind of world existed out there.

Ah... her journey towards the ocean continues. I'm sure The Warriors won't spend much more time on Paradis. I do worry what will happen when they try to cross the ocean with her. The Marleyan forces won't approve of them bringing along an islander with them to their nation and she'll be met with opposition. It won't be easy to convince them that she's not an Eldian. Their Warchief seems to be the best bet to convince the Marleyans that she is no threat to them...

I wonder, though, will they try to turn her into a Pure Titan anyway? Will the word of the Warchief be enough to get her safe passage? I wish I could see my dearest's journey to freedom in person, but these short glimpses I get are enough. Patience. I am confident she will make it here safely. I suppose I'll have to thank that Reiner Braun when he returns her to me, but he's gotten far too close than any man has a right to. My Adrestia has no future with him and she will soon come to realize that.
