Chapter four- Levi

Eren was taking a long time to respond, but I couldn't really blame him. I was well aware what this looked liked, what situation we were in. I didn't know how far he wanted to take things and I wouldn't ask for more than he was willing to give. However, I had to be clear. I was interested and I was in it for the long haul. If I was going to be with someone then I wanted a claim on them. Beating around the bush wasn't my style, I couldn't be anything other than upfront. I wasn't a man that settled when it came to matters like this and I didn't care if that made me sound greedy.

Of course I would respect Eren's wishes, but if I wanted something I went for it. Though discovering and admitting my interest in him was one thing, having his feelings in the mix was another. I had to make sure he didn't feel forced or obligated and being his boss only complicated things. Pursuing him would be a lot of work. Regardless, Eren didn't have an answer for me now. My hands fell to his waist and I leaned back to give him some space.

"Think about it," I told him, "and get back to me when you've made a decision."

He stared thoughtfully at me for a long moment, mulling his lips together before asking, "Does that mean we can't fuck then?"

"Right now?" I clarified and he nodded. "I don't know if you can handle me, Yeagar, especially when you're intoxicated."

Maybe he was only ineterested in sex, but if that was the case I would have to show him what he was missing out on.

"But I want you." He said plainly. So honest.

"Hmm . . . if you help me clean up the place after the riff raff have left, then I'll let you spend the night." I offered and leaned forward to his ear. "Because you won't be able to get out of bed once I'm finished with you."

Eren grinned at that. "Or maybe it will be the other way around." Feisty.

"Give me your best shot." I said with a nip to his earlobe.

He shuddered and gripped tight to my shirt at my sides. "You don't need to worry about that."

"We'll see." I smirked and stepped away, reaching for my glass. I was going to enjoy having him at my mercy.

"Yeah. We will." Eren agreed as he got his own drink and took a swallow.

Sasha wandered into the kitchen and went right for the cake, but I didn't mind since Eren already had a taste. I poured myself some more bourbon and then led the way outside to the porch. It was another hour until people started to leave, most of them had work tonight. Hanji, Erwin and Jean were the last ones to go. Erwin was waiting to take Hanji home since she had drank nearly all the liquor in my house. She threatened me to be nice to Eren, apparently noticing the 'looks' we had been passing back and forth. I told her to mind her own business.

Eren and Jean were arguing by his car and I waited in front of the garage while Erwin buckled in Hanji. I kept my distance so they could resolve it themselves, but I was growing impatient. Once Erwin had driven down the street, I went over to intervene. I didn't know what they were fighting about and I didn't care. It was late and I had a brunette to do.

"Wrap it up you two." I sighed, crossing my arms.

"Just go. Don't worry about me." Eren told Jean, a cold look in his turquoise eyes.

"I have to worry about you and keep you safe. So stop and let me take you home." Jean scoffed, not wanting to give in.

Eren groaned and palmed his face in frustration. "I'm not leaving. So bye." He turned away and started to walk off, but Jean was quick to grab him by the wrist and stop him.

"Damn it, Eren, don't make me haul your ass into this car."

Eren snatched himself free and backed up a few feet, glaring at Jean. "Let it go." He said quietly, a scornful look on his face that had Jean giving up reluctantly. He finally got in his car without further argument and Eren hurriedly made his way back to the front door.

I followed him inside and he didn't waste any time to start cleaning, more than ready to move things along. I joined in and began in the kitchen. While I was aware he was close with Jean, it was odd how adamant he had been about not leaving Eren behind. It seemed he didn't think I was trustworthy. Or he had figured out what was going to happen and he didn't like it. It made no difference to me, Eren's choice was his own and I had no claim over him. Yet. We finished cleaning in about fifteen minutes and Eren was putting the broom away in the pantry. The second he turned around, I pressed him against the wall and mouthed at his neck.

"Whoa." Eren breathed in surprise but tilted his head, wanting more.

My hands held his hips in place as I explored the long column of his throat. I gave harsh sucks and teasing bites to his skin, not caring if I left marks. One of his hands gripped my shoulder and the other threaded through my hair. I could feel every time his breath hitched and his body surged. He was just as responsive as I suspected, silently asking for what he needed. I wasn't going to keep him waiting and slipped my thigh between his legs, rubbing against his growing erection. Although I controlled the pressure as I made sure he stayed still. I was going to work him up and open him gently before I took him hard and fast. He didn't know it, but I was going to wreck him.

It wasn't long before I cupped my hands around the back of his thighs, urging his legs to wrap around my waist. Then I pulled back for a kiss and greedily licked inside his mouth. Moving away from the wall, I carried him over to the stairs and started climbing. I ended up pushing his back to another wall when we reached the top, kissing him harder and grinding the tip of my dick against his ass through our clothes. He moaned and held onto me tighter, the sound vibrating between our lips. The air around us grew hot and the separation of skin irritating. I didn't linger for more than a few moments and then continued towards my bedroom.

I kicked the door open and dropped Eren down on the mattress. I lifted my shirt over my head and tossed it on the floor, hands going for my pants next. Eren watched me with hungry, hooded eyes and parted lips. He could look all he wanted for now because he wouldn't have time to later. I stepped out of my pants after they fell and reached for his shirt to get rid of it as well. His chest was defined but lean, his arms following the same physique. My eyes trailed over his form, darkening in approval, but something was missing. I brought my gaze to his hair and gently pulled it free from his bun. The dark brown strands graced his shoulders, falling just past them and making him look softer.

I wasn't the type to go on about someone's beauty, but he was gorgeous. My fingers slowly ran through his hair before I gripped it and forced his head back, exposing his throat and bringing his eyes to mine. His pupils dilated and he kept his body relaxed.

"Make no mistake, Eren, regardless of what you choose . . ." I spoke lowly. "Tonight, you're mine."

"That's what I want." He told me without hesitation.

My hand let go of his hair and came around to slide down his neck, pushing down when it reached the center of his chest. "Don't move."

"I'm not going anywhere." He promised, voice soft but laced with desire. "I want you to take me. Now. I can't wait." His hips shifted and rolled in his arousal while he stared at me so needily.

"Patience." I told him and began taking off his pants. "Be good and I'll reward you."

"I don't want to be patient. I want to be fucked." He pouted.

I fought back my amusement. "You're being a brat. Hush."

I tossed his pants on the floor, admiring the outline of his cock through his briefs. Then I went to the nightstand to get the lube and placed it next to him on the bed. Seeing Eren laying there with such want was riling me up, but I couldn't take him just yet. I crawled up his body and ran my hand up and down his side. My fingers brushed along the band of his underwear before taking them off as well. His body arched, seeking out my touch and I captured one of his nipples in my mouth. He held onto my shoulders as I swirled my tongue against the perked bud.

I reached for the lube and warmed it in my hand, settling myself between his legs. Once I switched over to this other nipple, I squirted the substance on my fingers and brought them to his entrance. I traced his rim slowly before pressing the first digit inside. His gasp turned into a moan as I sucked harder, reminding myself to take this easy. I stretched him carefully and teasingly caressed his walls as the minutes ticked by, adding one finger after the other. More sounds left his lips and I was reminded that I still had one piece of clothing to get rid of.

When I was sure he was ready, I freed my own erection and let my underwear slide to the floor. Next I hovered over his panting form and took pride in how dazed he looked. I gave him a gentle kiss that soon turned harsh and demanding, our bodies coming together. He clutched at my biceps as I got into position, using just enough force to push the tip past his rim. The reaction was immediate and I swallowed the shaky breath he released. My tongue wrapped around his own as I continued to press inside, not stopping until I was all the way in.

His walls hugged my dick tightly and I groaned. He was amazingly hot, sending a pleased shudder through me. Our lips parted while I waited for him to adjust and I just looked at him, his dark brown hair spread across my sheets as his eyes closed.

"Look at me."

His eyes fluttered back open at the order and I touched our foreheads together. Vraiment quelque chose à être chéri. Eren gave me a small nod and that was all I needed, I claimed him as my own if only for one night. My thrusts were quick and unforgiving, dragging the sweetest of moans from his throat over and over. My gaze never strayed from his face and his blissful expressions drove me crazy. To say he fit perfectly against me would be too unrealistic, but it was damn near close. I could do this forever if I didn't want to see what he looked like when he came.

I pounded into his willing body and cursed when he clenched harder. He certainly wasn't making it easy on me, but he would come undone soon enough. I lifted his thigh and changed the angle of my thrusts, finding his prostate. His voice went higher in pitch and his nails sank into my skin. I was determined to bring him over the edge and drive him insane with overwhelming euphoria.

"Ah, fuck. Yes. Yes!" Eren cried out, whimpering as soon as the words escaped him.

My hand went between us and I began stroking his member, flicking my wrist at the tip. He started to tremble and after a few more strokes, he tensed as he came. I didn't stop my hand or my thrusts and watched him through his orgasm. It was a sight I wasn't likely to forget. His mouth hung open in a drawn out scream and his eyes snapped shut, the arch of his back bringing him even closer to me. The now tighter hold around my cock had me close to unraveling and I couldn't last any longer. My head fell to his shoulder as I emptied myself inside of him. My hips slowed but didn't still, savoring the blissful feeling.

The room was filled with our pants and the smell of sex as we came down from our highs. I waited for a moment before I pulled out, slightly grimacing at the mess. Sweat and cum covered Eren's chest, but he couldn't be bothered with that at the moment. I moved his bangs out of his face and laid on my side next to him. I would have to change the sheets and we both needed a shower. However, I would let him bask in the moment for now and catch his breath. Having him just this once was enough to make me want more, but I wouldn't allow myself to give in.

"I think we both needed that." He mused once his breathing finally started to settle.

I snorted. "Feels good to let it all out, hm?"

"Definitely. It's been a while." He laughed. "Time for a shower now though. And sleep since I have to work tonight. I wouldn't want my boss sending me home before cleanup."

"Damn straight." I got to my feet and cracked my neck, glancing down at him. "Think you can stand?" I teased with a smirk.

"Of course I can." He huffed and sat up as well, slowly moving his legs over the bed and getting up. "See? I'm good."

I didn't believe that for a second, but I decided not to call him on it. "The shower is through there, go on ahead."

"Alright. Thank you." He smiled softly as he made his way into the bathroom with careful steps.

I went to work and pulled the sheets and blankets off the bed. I carried them to the laundry room and threw them in the washer. I grabbed a fresh set from the closet after I got the load going and walked back to the bedroom, remaking the bed in record time. Once I was finished, I clicked my tongue at all the clothes on the floor. I picked them up and went back to the laundry room to put them in the other washer. For the second time I made my way to the bedroom and looked around, finally satisfied. The shower was still running and without a second thought I joined him. Eren smiled as he made room for me and I lightly tapped his forehead with my knuckle. We spent ten minutes under the water spray, a comfortable silence between us.

I lent him some of my clothes once we were done and we got back into bed together. Sleep came quickly and easily, the late afternoon coming too soon for my taste. I woke up to find Eren's hand in my face while he was sprawled out on the mattress, hogging the blanket. I hadn't expected him to be an active sleeper, but I wasn't really surprised. I moved his hand out of my face and checked the time. Three hours left before the club opened. I got out of bed and went to put Eren's clothes and the sheets from last night in the drier. Mondays were always a slow day for the club, most people were either recovering from the weekend or steering clear for the sake of their jobs.

It wasn't the best night to go scouting, but I wasn't taking a night off altogether. I'd work from home for awhile and perhaps go out if need be. Once the laundry was going, I made my way down to the kitchen to make some tea. First thing on my list was adding the new drink to the menu. I started planning out what I needed to do, gripping my tea cup by the rim to drink it. After about ten minutes, I got up to cook something to eat. I made enough for Eren and set it out at the dining table. Then I sat down and checked my phone for messages as I began eating.

Soon after Eren came hurrying through the house, making his way into the kitchen. His long hair was in disarray and he looked as if he was still half asleep. At least until those striking turquoise eyes landed on me and he appeared much more alert. He slowed, walking the rest of the distance over to me.

"I should have gotten up earlier." He grumbled, eyes falling to the plate I'd set for him and he promptly took a seat, wasting no time in beginning to eat. "Mm this is really good." He told me, voice muffled as his mouth was full.

"You've got time." I assured and set down my phone. "Your clothes are still in the dryer."

"Well I can't be late for work. My boss would fire my ass."

I sipped some of my tea, hiding my amusement. "Just for being late? He sounds pretty strict. You have it rough, don't you?"

He nodded as he stuffed his face, not slowing down. "He's a total slave driver."

"Well damn." I mused. "I'm definitely not a fan."

Eren chuckled and continued to eat quickly, finishing his food ahead of me. "I'm amazed at how good of a cook you are." He praised me, standing up with his now empty plate. "I'll do the dishes."

"Hmm. More often than not I prefer to cook my own meals rather letting other people handle my food." I explained and resumed eating my own breakfast. "That way, at least I know where my hands have been."

"Makes sense." He hummed, now at the sink and running the water. "I wouldn't want anyone else making my food if I was as good as you."

I didn't miss the second attempt at flattery. "Giving your compliments to the chef? Thank you, but I'm not packing your lunch." I teased.

"Wouldn't expect you to. Though that's not a bad thought." Eren laughed, washing and rinsing the dishes quickly. "Are you almost finished?"

"Yes." I took a few more bites before bringing it up to the sink. I handed my plate and fork to Eren and then poured myself some more tea, giving his clothes a little more time to dry.

Eren quickly finished the dishes and rinsed out the sink before wiping the counter around it. Then he dried his hands on the hand towel and walked towards me.

"Where's the dryer? I'll check the clothes."

"Give them three more minutes." I lightly chided, wishing he would slow down a little. "And go brush your hair." I said and reached up to run my fingers through his dark brown strands.

"Ah. Sorry." He blushed and took a step back, pushing his hair back once my hand fell away. "I'll take care of that . . . and then check those clothes."

I sighed and just let him be, he was a hard worker by nature. "The laundry room is at the end of the hall, past the bedroom. I have extra toothbrushes in the bathroom closet as well, help yourself."

A wrinkle formed between his brows as a thought crossed his mind but he quickly straightened his face and smiled at me, saying a quiet, "Thanks." before running off.

I took my tea and grabbed my phone to go settle in the living room, turning on the news. I kept the volume low and crossed my legs at the knee while watching all the shit that was going on in the city. Less than ten minutes later, Eren was rushing down the stairs dressed in his own clothes, his hair still down and over his shoulders.

"Couldn't find my hair tie." He mumbled as he walked past me on his way to the door, quickly stepping into his shoes as he checked his pockets for his things.

I got up and followed him, not remembering where I threw the hair tie. "I'll look for it later." I promised and then added, "Drive safe." I had a sneaking suspicion that he would speed the whole way home.

"Oh, I have others at home so it's not that big of a deal." He told me with a small smile. "And thank you, I will." He turned to his side and opened the door before looking back at me. "Guess I'll see you, Thursday maybe?"

"Thursday." I confirmed. "Along with the new drink."

"Mm." His face lit up and his smile turned into a grin. "That's gonna suck for me. I really like those."

"Please don't turn into Hanji, but you're free to have as many as you want when you're not on the clock." I stated. Having one of her was more than enough.

"I would never turn into Hanji, as much as I love her." He mused. "You won't catch me drinking on the job, sir."

I nodded and gently pushed the small of his back, urging him along. "Now get going before that boss of yours has something to complain about."

"Oh, you're right." He snickered. "Bye!"

He ran to his car and got in, buckling up before starting the engine. I gave him a small wave when he honked the horn, pulling out of the driveway. Then I shut and locked the door with a smile tugging at my lips. I was getting really fond of that brat and the desire to make him mine grew stronger. He was reluctant to enter a relationship for his own reason, but I was determined to put his concerns and fears to rest. I was beginning to see that this was different than my experiences in the past. I wanted to show him that he would be safe with me, that I would take care of him. It had been a long time since I wanted something, someone so much.

I let my mind wander for a while as I finished off my tea in the living room. The next hours were spent adding the new drink to the specials list on the menu, editing the design with a sample picture and sending out the request to have multiple copies delivered to the club. It would all be ready to go Wednesday night and I would have everything ready buy Thursday. The drink wouldn't be sold until Friday, I had to give the bartenders a chance to learn the mixture though Eren had already made it. The hardest part had been deciding the name, but I said fuck it and went with the one that struck a chord with me the most.

Next I went to my study to start the rest of my work and was able to make a good amount of progress before I was interrupted later that night by my cell phone.

"What do you want?" I asked as I answered the call.

"You totally slept with my love bug." Hanji said on the other end of the line. "I knew it was going to happen. I knew! Erwin owes me thirty bucks."

I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed. "Did you really just call me to fucking gossip? Who the hell do you and eyebrows think you are, betting on my sex life?"

"Your privileged besties!" She giggled, having no shame. "I'm so proud, but so shocked at the same time. I mean I thought you would, though it's still surprising. You never fuck outside of a relationship."

She was going to give me grey hairs early in life. "It's none of your business. And besides . . . it was just a preview, a one time thing until he decides what he wants to do."

"A one time thing? Shortness, I've known you for years and you've never made an exception for a preview." She pointed out. "I think you're more interested than we first thought . . . this time, it's special."

"What do you mean?" I always put forth my best effort in my relationships and just because I made an exception didn't mean it was special.

"I mean you're going to end up fucking again at the very least." She stated with confidence.

She was highly annoying and presumptuous. "Not a chance. I'm not playing fuck buddies with Yeager, it's all or nothing, the same offer I give anyone I'm interested in."

"You treat him differently." Hanji said simply. "You're breaking the rules you insist on following, that in itself is amazing. I'm excited to see how this goes and I'm hopeful. My love bug and my short stack are going to get together!" She squealed.

"Zip it, foureyes." I ordered as I felt my ears heat up a little. "Get back to work before I fire your ass."

She laughed until I hung up on her, not willing to listen to her ridiculous antics. But I couldn't exactly say she was wrong.
