"Jaclyn!"
My thoughts shatter to pieces when I hear an all too familiar voice call out my name. I look to the right where I see her rushing out of the crowd, over to me.
Anger and hurt is written all over her face as she is on the verge of tears, bawling her fists and clenching her jaw tight. Wordlessly she stood before me, her chest rising and falling like mad as she pants through parted lips.
"Go home, April." I demanded, to her surprise my voice cold and distant as if she were a stranger. I tried to avoid her piercing gaze as I look away, anywhere but into those big green, teary eyes.
I hadn't seen or spoken to them for a few weeks now, all because I wanted them to remain unrelated to me, the job and Levi. In military eyes that is. Even though Levi, Jonah and Eld know about their existence, I hope that it won't reach many more people. It´s already bad enough as it is.
If I somehow were to be caught, nobody would suspect them as accomplices. So I figured it was best, especially with this many eyes on us, that they walk off not drawing too much attention. After all, we are still wanted criminals for crimes the Military Police don't have faces to link to yet, and I plan on keeping it that way.
"Why? I haven't spoken to you for such a long time and you tell me to go home?" She nearly yells at me, raising her fist and swinging it. I caught it mid-air, April's lips quivering as tears now escaped the corners of her eyes, falling to her chin before dropping to the ground. I close my eyes for a second, taking in a deep breath. I´m unable to explain the situation right now, I can't, not here with Levi right beside us.
"Idiot." I breathe out. She´s acting irrational like I've seen her do before, saying things without any forethought. "Now go." I urged her to move the hell away from here. I push her backwards with her fist I was still holding onto. It hurt, talking to her like this while she´s so emotional, but it is for the best. She'll understand once I get the chance to explain.
When she doesn't move but just stares at me, soft sobs escaping her lips, confused to why I wasn't saying anything, I walk past her.
"We've been waiting here ever since we found out you went outside the-" She managed to say, her voice trembling and echoing back and forth to the now silent streets.
"That's enough April." I stop in my tracks upon hearing his voice. I look back and see Kay putting his arm around her shoulder, turning her to the other direction, away from me. His eyes briefly met mine before he guided her away as they disappeared in the crowd once again.
"Sorry." I thought out loud.
As the talking of the people gradually became louder again, I once again failed to ignore it. "What is wrong with her?" I heard someone question behind me. "I don't know. Hey, wasn't she the one that ordered the bodies to be thrown overboard?" - "Ah I see, you're right. She really-"
"Dominic, Cole, shut it." Levi says as we are still walking side by side. "At least she was a soldier capable of making the right decision in a critical moment."
"Y...yes sir!" The men say in unison.
I loosened my bawled fists. I feel something I thought I had long forgotten. I felt tears prickling, dancing at the edges of my eyelids, threatening to fall down. Why... Why now of all times?
"Are you okay?" Jonah questioned.
"Fine." I say as I put my foot on the stirrup, pushing myself off the ground and throwing my other leg over the horse.
"Jaclyn, wait!" I hear Jonah call out but when I turn around I see he's being stopped by Levi. A soft kick in the stomach of the horse was enough for it to take off at full speed. I rushed through the streets, dodging people as I made my way over to the house. If I'm doing this I need to be fast.
When the cobblestone streets switch to grass soil I know I'm near. Within moments the house is in sight.
My house.
This house was all I could afford when I left the underground; it was near falling apart but bought it anyway. Together with April, Kay and Ethan we made a livable home out of it.
I jumped off the horse and tied the bridles to a tree. Walking over to the tree at the back of the house, I kneeled in front of it as I put my hands into the damp earth and started digging, the sand piling up underneath my fingernails as I saw the object now visible. I grab the key and walk over to the back door, it became rusty due the rainfall and wet earth but it will still work. I turned the key twice before the door flew open. I smiled to myself, "And they said it wouldn't be necessary." Old habits never die.
The wooden floor cracks as I step inside, the familiar homey scent reached my nostrils. I close my eyes, inhaling the nostalgic essence deeply before opening them again. "God I missed this place."
Wasting no further time I opened the desk drawer and pulled a pen and paper out of it. I've got little time, so there's no room for excuses. I'll just write all the necessary information so they will understand my actions.
Kay and April,
Sorry I kept quiet these past weeks. I had to join the expedition or otherwise they would become wary of me and start questioning my motives for joining the Survey Corps in the first place. I didn't let you know because I didn't want you to worry. I may have to take part in another one or five before I'll be able to finish the job as it costs a lot of time, but you already know that. When I get the chance I'll contact you guys somehow. Get rid of this after you've read it.
Love, Lyn
As I finish writing the message I fold it and put it on the kitchen counter. I know I have little time but I walk the up the stairs anyways and open the first door on the right.
My room is exactly the way I left it behind; clean and neat, the sheets of the bed still tightly tucked in. I put my hands up in the air I lean back, letting myself fall onto the bed. My body sinks into the soft mattress as dust springs to life in the air, reflecting the sunlight that entered the window like glitters. This maneuver gear sure is uncomfortable to lie down with. I lay here for a few minutes, staring at the ceiling as I let my thoughts wander.
'We've been waiting here ever since we found out you went outside the walls.' I didn't want to worry them, but I think I worsened it by keeping it a secret, and then them finding out themselves. 'At least she is a soldier capable of making the right decision.' Levi's words echo through my brain.
I felt the slightest bit of guilt, giving the order to throw bodies overboard. Because me, a criminal here to kill a member of the Survey Corps doesn't have the right to take the beloved bodies that were supposed to reach the family members. I pinch the bridge of my nose as the events play over and over again like a broken record. "Otherwise there would've been more casualties." I say to myself, and I know it's true. Without that decision more people could've died or all bodies could've been lost.
I don't even know what to believe myself.
But Levi seemed to agree with the decision I made, somehow for some weird reason it made me feel more at ease.
Unfortunately I have to rush back to reality before people start wondering where I went off to. They will walk all the way back to the Survey Corps building, so if I hurry I will make it there before they do.
I walk down the stairs, glancing around over to the kitchen and the living room, memories became vivid in my mind as if it were happening right now. Me sitting at the table, drinking my coffee, April working wonders in the kitchen as she loved baking and Kay loudly coming home with Ethan like they always do. At the moment life seemed difficult, but when I look back now life seemed so simple. After everyone was done for the day and we gathered together, talking, laughing, and sharing stories. No Titans, not on a job somewhere else, but in this ruin of a house we call home. The only place I feel safe with the people whom I trusted my life with.
I walk to the backdoor and go outside, closing the door behind my back and locking it again. I bury the key back underground, this time on yet another spot. I leap on the horse and rush back, hopefully before the rest arrives there.
As I pass through the gate I see the horse-stables are still empty, which means they haven't arrived back yet. Hoping to avoid Jonah's questions I knew sure we're to come, I decide to take a well-deserved nap. Diner will be in less than an hour but I got little appetite.
Sleep is too present on my mind to think about food, even though my stomach feels quite empty. Not even bothering to change, I undid my gear and lay on the bed. Sleep came fast and I was gone within a few minutes.
Yet another few weeks have past and I didn't get the chance to see or speak to April and Kay, even though I promised them I will find a way. Luckily they haven't tried to contact me since that's something I want to avoid. I've been kept busy, training for the second upcoming expedition.
Tonight there will be a 'party' for the Military members. I guess they once in a while even make time for things like this.
What do you think, blue or black?" Petra holds the dresses in front of her as Hanji and I judge.
"Blue."
"Black."
"You guys! This isn't helping!" She groans and throws them back on the bed, staring at them intently while stroking her chin.
"I like the red one the best." I opined.
She lifts it and turns it around a few times. "I can't wear it, it's too revealing for the occasion." She sighs and glances at the dresses again, after trying them both on again plus some encouraging words from me and Hanji she's finally able to make her decision. "Fine I'll go with the black one." She comes to a conclusion after half an hour.
"Then go change already, you got twenty minutes left." I remind them, yawning while put my arms behind head as I stretch my leg out while sitting on a chair.
"You're not going?" Hanji asks as they both seem disappointed.
"I'd rather spend my time asleep than be at some formal party with those Military Police rats around." I say as I get to my feet and walk over to the door, pulling the handle down when Petra fiercely pulls me back again.
"No way. You're going." she concludes. "What dresses do you have."
"None, but that's okay because I'm not going." I say stubbornly but her expression tells me she won't give up easily.
"Then you wear one of mine." She tries persistently with pleading eyes. "Please, there are already so many male soldiers around."
"No way."
"You're really boring Jaclyn." Hanji nearly whines.
"I know." I answer shortly and head for the door to leave the room and two whining ladies behind.
"Just sit on the side with a drink. If you really don't like it you can leave any time." Petra holds my arm and I sigh loudly as I roll my eyes.
I turn to look over my shoulder and her face is lit, full of hope as she broadly smiles and widens her eyes. "I might only stay half an hour then." I say defeated and they high five each other as they pull me forward.
As I walk over to the room his coughs are already audible from a distance, echoing through the hallways along with the sound of my footsteps.
I turn the handle and slowly open the door and step inside, closing it behind my back as my eyes fall onto his lifeless body.
Jonah has had a fever since yesterday and has been lying in bed since then. I've been helping out, bringing him food and such as I know he would not hesitate to do the same for me. I drag a chair from the desk over to the side of his bed as I take place and cover my hand over his forehead; it's still too hot. "How are you feeling?" I ask softly as he slowly breathes through parted lips.
"Would you mind knocking next time?" He says as he slowly opens his eyelids but his gaze remains dazed as he tries to focus on me. "Have been better, but it should be over soon." He manages to put up a smile.
I simper at his positive attitude. "High spirited as always."
He blinks few times before his eyes go wide. "Jaclyn... you look amazing!" He says and sits up straight and glances me up and down.
"Lie down idiot." I whack him on his head as he falls back. "But thank you." I mutter softly.
"Where did you get that dress?" He asks.
"Petra let me borrow it for tonight." I answer and he nods approvingly.
It's a floor length, vibrant red dress with no back and a low cut in front. It has long lace sleeves and the top is tight as the bottom part is looser with a slit at my right side, revealing my leg as I walk.
"Anyway, you should rest. Do you need something?" I ask and he shakes his head.
"I'm fine. You just enjoy your evening." He beams and I ruffle his hair before I turn and leave the room, closing the door behind me.
"There you are Jaclyn, where are Hanji and Petra?" I hear Eld say and turn around and see him, Oluo, Gunther and Levi walking up to me.
I shrug. "I think they already left, I was just checking on Jonah." I explain and observe them when they come closer. They look good in their suits, it's quite something different from the Survey Corps uniform.
"You look beautiful." Eld compliments.
"Thank you." I say and do a quick turn as the lightweight fabric spins in the air and falls down to my legs when I stop. "You also look good." I jokingly wink. He mutters a thank you and a pink blush is actually tinting his cheeks.
"Shall we go then?" He says and hooks his arm around mine as the five of us walk to the ballroom.
When Eld opens the door I glance up to a beautiful decorated, spacious room. There's a piano on the stage and its suitable tunes fill the room. People are dressed elegant, standing and sitting with drinks as I actually recognize a few faces when I observe closer.
Instantly the five of them part ways, leaving me all alone in the centre. I sigh as I look around; I knew I shouldn't have come. Where are Petra and Hanji when you need them.
I spot a table full with all sorts of drinks and the wine immediately catches my eye. I make my way over to it and take a glass as I pour myself a generous amount of the red liquid.
When I look around for a seat I see Levi sitting at the edge of the room, sipping from a cup what supposably is tea. Like most of the men around he is dressed in formal wear, his cravat tucked in. As always, a bored and tired expression marks his face but I have to admit the suit works wonders. Aside from his facial expression he looks quite winsome. "Mind if I sit here?" I ask and he glances up to me.
"Go ahead." He says and motions for me to take place. I put the glass down as I sit in silence, enjoying the melodies from the piano's and observing the people before us.
"The suit looks good on you." I say as I glance across the room.
"That dress is not bad either."
"Not bad?" I joke and look over to him, seeing that he is observing me from head to toe.
"You look gorgeous, is what I was saying." He says and looks forward again with a such a serious face I'm not sure if he was sarcastic or not. I also tear my gaze away from him and try to hide the blush tinting my cheeks. I've never had many compliments in this short amount of time ever.
Thirty minutes have past and there has been several speeches by numerous people including Erwin. They were all boring as hell and I take every chance to grab food and drinks when the waiter passes us by.
"You're quite the eater." Levi remarks.
"You're quite the tea drinker." I say and he faintly smiles for the first time this evening.
Now all speeches and formal stuff have past, people gather on the floor to dance to the beautiful sounds that flooded the room.
"You're not dancing?" I ask Levi who rests one leg over his knee.
"With who?" He lifts his brow as if I am asking something stupid.
"Don't tell me you're that oblivious. Girls are staring at you if you haven't noticed yet." I glare to the woman that was trying to catch his attention as he follows my gaze.
He sneers as he looks back at me. "I could say the same to you."
Confused I look up and see a man in his late twenties walking over to me. He has his black hair combed backwards and holds his hand out for me to take. "Would you like to dance?" He kindly asks with smile.
I reach out my hand. "No thank you, but you could get me a drink." I try to smile sweetly and he looks a bit disappointed but takes my glass anyway as he walks over to the to refill it.
"What a way to decline." Levi now has a sincere ear to ear smile and I can't help but smile at the sight myself. I shrug as the man comes back with a refilled glass of red wine and I thank him before he leaves again. I take a sip and notice someone is standing before me again.
With a sigh I look up to a man's whose face is quite intimidating and unlike the other man, he isn't exactly smiling either. Without warning he grabs my hand and pulls me up from my chair in one go.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I spat at him and his grip around my arm tightens. I put the glass on the table and forcibly try to take his hand from my arm.
"What a foul mouthed lady." He smirks. "Just one dance." He doesn't even ask but rather commands.
"Let go creep." I warn but his smile only widens the more I talk.
While holding onto me he starts walking to the dance floor, perplexed and angry I protest. Exactly who does he think he is? When he turns around I lift my hand and hit him with my fist as he immediately lets go of me and I rub the skin he has been holding on to.
If it weren't for me to be in this position, surrounded by military personnel I would've taken him on, but there isn't much more I can do right now. The impact is audible and a few heads turn as people swiftly glance our way but aren't that bothered as they continue to enjoy themselves.
Angered I look up to him but when he whispers to me I bawl my fists. "I've got some information to tell you."
It is the third time someone has come to inform me on the job and each time they had worst timings with Levi right beside me. He now grabs my hand as he starts walking again, without me protesting this time.
"Haven't you heard her?"
I look over my shoulder and see Levi eyeing the man as a dangerous aura radiates from him. I glance between them as the other man remains silent and turns around, ignoring Levi.
"It's okay." I quickly say and weakly smile, but clearly he isn't buying it. "Really." I push and now willingly walk away with the man, leaving Levi behind.
When we stand on the dance floor he wraps his arms around my waist and it leaves a disturbing feeling. I shake it away, immediately getting to business so I can get away from him.
"What is it?" I question as he pulls me closer. I feel dirty as his warm body is pushed against mine and buries his face into my neck, his hot breath making me shudder. I pull away and frown at him as he amusingly keeps staring at me and my fist itches to punch him so I can wipe that stupid smile from his face. "You're here to talk about him, right?" I say and glance over to Levi who is watching us intently from behind his cup.
"We can have some fun first." He whispers. "After all, you look quite inviting." He doesn't bother to hide the fact he is staring at my neck and breasts. One hand slides down to my ass as he shamelessly grabs it and the other tries to find a way to my legs through the slit of the dress.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I don't even care what consequences I'll have to face, but I'm going to beat the hell out of him right here and now. He already crossed the line the instant he pulled me from my seat.
Abruptly his hands are pulled away and replaced by much gentler ones. I open my eyes and face Levi. The man is lying on the ground behind him, wiping his bloodied mouth.
"Are you okay?" He asks while directly looking me into the eyes as if trying to detect a lie.
"Fine." I mumble embarrassed and avert my eyes.
Completely dazed off I only realize after a while that we are moving to the music in sync as if we're on automatic. I don't have to think as he leads me over the dance floor and I rest my hands around his neck.
"The you I know, would've kicked him into the ground hours ago." He glances past me and I smile at his comment.
He is absolutely right, but that man had information to tell me. Most likely important matters. When I look around he seems to have disappeared. I'll just have to wait until he or hopefully someone else will come and inform me on whatever he had to tell me.
"I think the alcohol has kicked in by now." I say as a excuse.
As the song ends we walk back to our seats and I finish my drink in one big gulp. I've been here longer than expected, around one hour now and I'm ready to head back to bed. Enough socialized and drinks for the night.
"I think I've had enough." I say to Levi who seems just as bored.
"I'll take you to your room." He offers and the look on his face tells me he will bring me no matter what, so I just nod and grab his hand as we walk through the crowd of dancing people.
It's a relieve once I get out of the hot room. There's a cool breeze on the hallways that bring my temperature slightly down. We walk through the empty and silent hallways, the ticking of our footsteps the only sounds around.
"Are you also going to your room?" I ask him as he walks beside me.
"I'll have to finish some reports." He says and I snort.
"You have the energy left for that?" I ask and he shrugs. "Mind if I join for a bit?"
"As long as you don't mess up the place." He says and turns the corner as I follow him. He grabs a key and unlocks the door as he lets me enter first.
"This is very... neat." I say as I stand in the centre of the room. Everything is ordered and put in the right place. I swipe my finger across the desk, there's not a single trace of dust as I look closely to my fingertip. He walks past me and takes place at the desk as he immediately gets to work, grabbing papers from a large pile and starts writing, putting some scrabbles here and there. I put my palms against the desk and jump as I now sit on it. I notice him looking up from the corner of my eye and parting his lips, but whatever he had to say he swallowed the words.
I glance over the pile he just took some papers off and I see my name written on one, I don't hesitate to get my hands on it as I read what it's about.
"Sitting on my desk also counts as messing up the place." He comments but I ignore him.
"What's this?" I ask as I confused hold the sheet in front of me.
"Can't you tell by looking at it?" He puts his pen down and sits back in his chair.
Stats: Jaclyn Rosenthal 49/60 - 81%
Battle skill: 11/10 Teamwork: 2/10 Initiative: 10/10 Mobility: 10/10 Strategy: 6/10 Leadership: 10/10
"Why is there a two with teamwork? Who filled this in? How is an eleven possible out of ten? What do you mean six for strategy? What is this based on?" I bombard him with questions as he pushes away from the desk and stands up, covering my mouth with his hand.
"You're noisy." He says as I pull his hand away. "Didn't I tell you to not sit on my desk?" He asks as he stands before me, unwavering looking into my eyes.
"I think you did." I smirk, giving him a 'what are you going to do about it' look.
His hands lock behind my lower back. "Do I have to." He suddenly pulls me forward, to the edge of the desk as he stands between my legs and leans closer. "Drag you off?" A amusing smile crosses his face.
I put my arms around his neck and lean forward so that my mouth is against the shell of his ear. "I wouldn't mind if you do." I whisper and I see goosebumps form on his skin. I notice his scent as I nuzzle in his neck. To my surprise he doesn't back away and actually feel his grip tightening.
Slightly I move backwards to look at him as his eyes are now locked onto mine. He lifts my chin and then tucks away a strand of hair behind my ear as his hand trails along my neck, causing me to shiver.
"You should probably get to your room."
"Will you still be bringing me?" I ask.
He nods and backs away to create some space as I slide from the desk to the ground. When I land on my feet I feel slightly dizzy and put my palms against his chest to support me.
"Had a drink too much?" He looks amused but more concerned as he puts his arm around my waist and opens the door, locking it behind our back.
We walk a few minutes along the corridors until we reach my room, Levi opens the door for me as I enter.
One glance at the bed is enough for me to remind me how tired I am and Immediately I fall onto the mattress. I rest my arm over my eyes as the dizziness is decreasing while laying down.
I kick the shoes off and I feel the bed lowering as Levi sits on the edge. "Are you sure you're fine?" He asks worried.
"Nothing I can't handle." I say as I stand up again. "Would you mind?" I ask, motioning to the buttons of the dress at the back after a failed attempted to reach them. His slender fingers work from top to bottom as if he's been doing it for a living. In no time he reaches the last one and the dress falls down to the ground.
"Thank you." I mumble as I turn around and brush past him to open the drawer. Quickly I change into pyjama shorts and shirt.
Levi already stands at the threshold as he looks at me with an expression I haven't seen from him before.
I can notice a tension between us, a positive one. When he licks his lips wet and glares at me I feel a hot electrifying feeling racing to the pit of my stomach. I am craving to feel those lips, but only after tonight I realise that much.
I also know it can't work between us and that I shouldn't make a move.
Within two steps I stand before him and lean forward. My lips faintly brush his cheek. "Thank you for tonight." I whisper and turn around.
I'm ready to walk away but I'm stopped when Levi grabs my arm. He spins me around and before I even wrap my head around what's happening, his slightly wet lips are pressed against mine.
I tightly grip his blouse as I bawl a fist and pull him behind with me until I feel the desk. I let go of him and hold it at the edges as his hands hold the desk at my sides, closing me in.
I look into his eyes and I'm sure just like mine, desire is visible in them.
He leans forward again as he holds me close, running his tongue slightly over my lips before delving inside as I eagerly let him in. His hot breath fans across my skin and his hands caress my sides as I have one arm hanging over his shoulder and the other holding his cheek.
He softly bites lip and then goes over to my ear, lowering to my neck as his tongue slides over my skin, I turn to the side, providing him with more access. I let out a soft unintentionally moan and that instant he stops and backs away to look at me as he smirks. A blush crosses my cheek but I lift my chin, daring him to comment.
"I like that sound." He roughly whispers and I'm sure the colour intensifies.
I start to unbutton his shirt and he lifts me up with his hands under my legs, walking over to the bed. He gently lays me down as he climbs on top, one leg between mine as he's on his knees.
He pulls one leg upwards and he strokes it as he returns to my lips.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" I ask between heated, wet kisses in. After all, he's still seen as my superior and I know he realises it damn well.
"You're what I want." He whispers in a low voice and my heart skips a beat as he starts sucking the skin at my neck.
"Why all of a sudden?" I ask knowing I might ruin the moment, but I'm too curious to care right now.
He hovers over me as he stares into my eyes. It takes a moment before he answers as he slowly strokes my leg like I'm something to be treasured.
"When I saw that man touching you." He starts and then lowers so that his lips are slightly touching mine while talking. "I realised I wanted to be that person." He says and swallows hard.
I smirk at his explanation and grab his hand, moving it over to my legs.
"Unlike that man." I give him a sloppy kiss before continuing. "You're free to touch me wherever you like."
I feel him stiffen while I spoke the words and he lowers his body. This time I'm the one to nibble at his skin.
As I lift my leg I feel that he's hard between his and he flinches at the touch. "Oh?" I grin.
"Tease." He says as his hand slowly slides to the inside of my leg and I shiver at his touch. Our lips touch and tongues intertwine as if battling for dominance and neither of us give up.
I open my eyes and take in the situation I'm in and at the same time Levi parts his. We stop all movements for a moment and just look at each other. We both pant and looking at him like this, the frown not visible on his face and looking at me with such burning lust in his eyes.
"You're my superior." I say and await his respond. He doesn't seem like the type to obey the rules but I've never caught him disobeying.
"And?"
"You shouldn't be doing this to your subordinate." I tease as I slowly open his blouse further and then completely pull it off of him. He lifts my T-shirt and his warm hand slides over my stomach as I slightly arch my back at the touch.
"Do you want me to stop?" He says as his tongue runs over my collarbone and closes his lips around it, sucking at the sensitive spot. "You don't care about titles, or am I wrong?" He leans back to look at me.
"Shut up." I say as I pull him onto me.
My body freezes when someone loudly bangs on the door.
"Jaclyn?" Jonah calls out my name.
"Fuck." I breath out. Why does he have such horrible timing. Levi just glares at me and I shift away from underneath him. I ruffle my hair in a useless attempt to make it seem less wild.
I open the door and Jonah stands at the other side, slightly looking better then before. "How are you feeling?" I ask as I lean against the door frame. I feel his forehead and his temperature seemingly has decreased.
A blush crosses his face and he swiftly glances down. I follow his gaze and then realise I'm standing in a shirt and underwear only. I haven't even felt Levi taking it off.
"Well?" I ask and cross my arms, ignoring the fact how I'm dressed.
"Almost back to normal." He smiles as his eyes are glued onto mine, trying not to look down. "I'm actually here to ask if you know where Levi is, Eld was looking for him but he's also not in his office."
I lift my brow. "Why would I know that?" I ask and he shrugs. "Maybe he is taking a long shit." I say and he chuckles at my comment.
"Sorry if I woke you, I'll tell Eld you also don't know."
"It's okay, I wasn't sleeping yet."
Jonah goes away and when he walks around the corner I close the door behind me. I turn around and immediately I'm pushed against the door as Levi presses his warm body against mine.
"You should probably head back, people are looking for you." I say.
"Is that so?" His hand slides to my inner thigh and he slowly goes up. I let my head fall back and close my eyes but grab his wrist, stopping him in his movements.
"Now go." I say as I plant a soft kiss on his lips and open the door for him as he walks out.
"Don't oversleep tomorrow." He warns but lacks its usual sharp tone. "Or I'll have to come and wake you up." He looks over his shoulder and grins.
"I just might oversleep on purpose." I joke and when he's out of sight I shut the door.
I let myself fall on the bed and let out a sigh. I nuzzle my face into the pillow as I grip it tightly. When the silence closes in on me I realise I miss his burning touch, the feeling of his fingertips still linger on my body.
I groan loudly as I turn and lie on my back. What am I even thinking. In the heat of the moment I forgot about everything but Levi. I can't do this, I'll only make things more complicated for myself.
