CHAPTER 4
So that was a big fat bag of nopes.
I ran up the stairs, trying to escape the woman chasing me. She grabbed my wrist, stopping me from getting any further.
"Let me go!" I screamed, trying to yank myself free.
"Will you just stop and listen, for one second?" She asked with a tone filled with annoyance and anger, looking at me with that look.
"Baby, please ... "
I stopped when I heard the softness in her tone, turning around to look at her. Her forehead were filled with wrinkles, but it wasn't filled with worry. It was filled with something else ... Something bittersweet.
"Why him? Of all people, WHY HIM?!" The tears ran down my face, causing my vision to blur.
"Baby, he's the only one who cares about me – who really understands!"
I finally yanked myself free, the fear and anger filling me up inside.
"You have no idea, do you?" I whispered, putting a hand over my mouth to lower the gasping sounds.
"You're sick, mama. Sick,"
With that, I turned around once again to run upstairs, fighting to hold the tears back.
It was Erens last day, yet he was over 30 minutes late. I tapped my foot down impatiently, crossing my arms over my chest.
Damn brat, I thought to myself. What had happened yesterday had sent me into a swirl of emotions, and I wasn't sure what to make of it. He had been so irresistible yesterday, and it had just been too tempting not to stop it.
Of course it had been Eren who had initiated it, but I had no objections to it once it started.
What was it, that I had said? Something about practicing? Shit. I had probably sent his hopes up, because the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became.
Thank god, that it was the boy's last day. Finally, the constant temptation would be removed after that.
I licked my upper lip, and sighed.
I don't think I would even be able to resist Eren after yesterday, so maybe it would be for the better that he didn't show up after all.
Or ... Was the reason behind him not showing up, that he had regretted the incident? That Eren had felt so disgusted with the whole thing that he couldn't even look at me after that?
I felt a lump in my throat, and my heart skipped af beat.
I wouldn't be able to blame him, though. I looked at the couch, and the memories came rushing back. The lump in my throat grew bigger.
I swallowed, and then grabbed my coat from the hanger. I rushed through the door, almost running through the rest of the office.
I wasn't able to stay in there for the rest of the day anyways.
I went to my car in the basement parking lot, and it didn't take long before I was out on the streets. I was on no hurry to go anywhere, so I ended up just driving around.
After 30 minutes, I ended up just stopping the car at the park, just sitting and looking out at the people walking around. It was nice at first, but a knot in my stomach quickly appeared. I was literally just reminding myself how alone I really was, looking at the happy families, friends and lovers walking around with eachother.
Of course there was also people walking around alone, looking just as alone as I was feeling ...
What?
I sat up more straight, surprised and confused at the same time. I actually recognised that person.
I quickly jumped out of the car, running towards him a bit too fast.
"Hey!"
I striked down, hitting him hard on the shoulder with a clenched fist.
"You little shit, walking around the park when you're supposed to be at work with me!"
He looked up, quickly trying to defend his shoulder from being hit again. He clearly didn't see it coming, meeting me here of all places.
"B-boss?" He looked at me in utter shock, biting down his bottom lip. I looked at him angrily, until I finally noticed his red eyes.
Had he been crying? Was that the reason why he hadn't shown up to work?
"Hey ..." I mumbled, trying to reach out to him, but he quickly stepped back, probably afraid that I'd hit him again.
"Eren, are you okay?"
I looked at him with pleading eyes, suddenly feeling absolutely horrible about hitting the boy.
"Eren,"
He looks so lost. What happened to him? I grabbed his wrist, pulling him closer. I just wanna hug him. What can I do to make him feel better? I don't want him to look so sad ... I didn't do anything of the sorts, just standing there looking at him. Of course I didn't notice that I hadn't let go of his wrist.
He sniffed, trying to look neutral, but couldn't help but smile.
"I'm fine," He mumbled, looking directly at me, with a confused look. "What... What are you doing here, boss?"
I looked around, suddenly realising how weird this must be looking.
Oh god. He probably think I was stalking him.
I released his wrist, now it was my time to take a step back.
"Uhm, I wasn't feeling so good. I needed some air,"
He still had a geniune smile on his face, looking at me with nothing but interest.
"Why are you ... here?" I was definitely curious as to why the hell he was at the park instead of at the office or his own home. "Did something happen?"
He looked down, starting to shake mildly.
"N-no, it's nothing ..."
Of course that wasn't true, but I wasn't about to ask. Instead I just stood there, rather awkward, waiting for him to finished. I was so bad with people crying.
"Eren..."
Only 2 seconds after pronouncing his name, he leaned forward, wrapping his arms around my neck. Too shocked to do anything else, I wrapped my arms around his waist, the only way I knew how to comfort him.
"Hey ... It's okay, Eren. It's okay, don't worry," I could feel him hiding his face into my neck, his warm breath against my skin.
We just stood there, hugging eachother tightly for a couple of minutes, before he finally teared his body away from mine.
"This is so embarrassing," He mumbled, trying to quickly remove the tears from his cheeks.
"Then let's go,"
I laid a hand on his back, showing him the way to my car. It wasn't more than a 10 minutes drive, before we arrived at my apartment.
I showed him where the bathroom was, and after that he just closed to door and stayed in there. While waiting for him to come out, I made some coffee, before I sat down on the couch. It was starting to get dark, I noticed while looking out of the window. The sun had started to go down, leaving beautiful colours in the sky behind. Enjoying the view, I didn't even notice the door opening behind me. While taking a sip of my coffee, something suddenly touched my hair, and I spit out the warm liquid in surprise. It was spilled all over my newly-washed shirt, and with an annoyed grunt I stood up, leaving the coffee cup on the table.
"Jesus Christ, you almost gave me a heartattack!" I yelled, turning around to judge him with my eyes. He looked better now, his eyes no longer red, so I decided not to go easy on him. "Look what you did – For fuck sake, I bought this only last week!"
His cheeks started to blush, and he looked down, ashamed.
"I-I'm sorry, boss, but you had something ... In your hair," He lifted his hand and revealed a piece of leaf in between his fingers.
I grunted in response, not accepting the reason, and went into the bathroom to throw to dirty cloth into the basket of other dirty clothes. I gave myself a mental note of doing laundry after Eren went home.
I walked out into the living room again, running my fingers through my hair.
"So, do you want something to eat? Some coffee?"
Eren didn't answer. He just stared at me, as if I was crazy.
It took me a few seconds of silence to understand, that I was the reason. I had forgotten to put on another shirt, and was now standing half-naked, showing my upper body. It wasn't that I didn't mind showing my body, but the way he was staring at me ...
"Oi!" I snapped at him, which clearly did the trick. He blinked a few seconds, before directing his eyes up to mine. "Stop looking at me like that, and make up your mind. Food or coffee?"
I sounded annoyed, but that was far from the truth. I liked it. Him looking at me like that.
"C-coffee," He mumbled, clearly not really caring.
I brought him a mug filled with the hot liquid, before sitting down on the couch again, crossing the left leg over the other.
"Oi, brat. Sit down, for god's sake. This isn't a prison. You can make yourself a little more comfortable,"
He had just been standing there, looking like a damn fool, as if he hadn't known what to do. When I finished my sentence, he had rushed to sit down beside me. Maybe a little too close, but hell, I didn't really care.
The minutes went by quickly, and we were suddenly just sitting there, with empty mugs on the table. Eren had pulled his legs up to his chest, with arms around them, and he had slowly been leaning his head against my shoulder, as if he was testing if it was safe. I didn't move a muscle, not showing if it was okay or if it wasn't. I wanted to seem like he didn't had any influence on me, even though that was far from true. My heart started beating faster when I could feel his warmth against my skin, even if it was only my arm. That was also the moment I realised, that I was actually freezing.
As if he had heard my thoughts, he leaned closer against me. I tried stopping myself from shivering.
"Hey," He whispered softly, and for the second time today, I felt his warm breath on my skin. This certainly did not help the 'trying not to shiver'-part. "We should probably talk about ... You know, what happened ..." His voice slowly died away, and I furrowed my brows. Was he talking about yesterday's incident, or the one at the park?
"... Yesterday," he quickly added.
I turned my head to look down at him, while remembering what I had been thinking.
... I don't think I would even be able to resist Eren after yesterday, so maybe it would be for the better that he didn't show up after all ...
... Was the reason behind him not showing up, that he had regretted the incident? That Eren had felt so disgusted with the whole thing that he couldn't even look at me after that? ...
The thought made me rethink the whole situation again. Eren had been crying when I'd met him at the park. Maybe just the thought of showing up for work had scared him so much, that he just couldn't handle it? Seeing me afterwards, he must have been so embarrassed. Being forced into my apartment like this ... Even after he felt disgusted with the thought of an older man ... He was probably only sitting like this, because I had taken my shirt off. Damn it.
"Stop it!"
It took me a few seconds to comprehend what had just happened. The pain started after that, spreading like fire across my left cheek.
Eren had ... hit me?
I looked at him with big eyes, too shocked to form words. He was sitting on his knees now, pressing his hands on both my shoulders, pushing me into the cushion behind me.
"I was crying because of my mother, not because I didn't want to see you again. I ... I wanted to see you again," He stopped to bite his lip, not sure if he should continue. "And I wanted to be with you again. To feel you touch me ..." His breath was too irregular to speak properly, and mine had become like that as well.
How did he know ...
I didn't even have time to think before his hands started sliding up and down my bare chest. When his mouth started kissing my neck, I couldn't do anything else than just sit there, focusing on every touch. His kisses moved slowly, but surely, towards my mouth, and when our lips met, everything changed. It was first then, that I realized it. I pushed him away, gently, but firmly.
"So you're saying ... You want me?"
I needed to be sure. I didn't, no – I couldn't go any further without being sure.
"Y-yes," He gasped, surprised at the sudden push. He became even more surprised when I removed myself from the couch, grabbing him by the wrist and started pulling him away.
"B-boss, what you are ... "
"My name is Levi," I said abruptly, stopping him from saying anything else. I walked into the bedroom with him stumbling behind me. I threw him down on the bed, not waiting for him to do anything. He looked up at me, his eyes mixed with fear and astonishment. I had probably been a little too rough.
"Say it," I said, my voiced filled with dominance. He was just looked at me, even more confused than before.
"W-what ... ?"
His face were flustered, as he layed there. His elbows held some of his body up, while there was a large space between his legs. I put my knees up on the bed, making me able to lean in over his body. "My name. Say it," My face was now dangerously close to his, but that didn't stop me in any way. I saw his expression change when he realised what I meant.
" ... Levi," He stuttered.
I licked my lips, humming quite loudly.
"Mmmh ..." I mumbled, while starting to kiss his neck. "Again,"
"A-ah ... Levi!" He gasped. Not able to hold himself up anymore, he removed his elbows from the bed so he could grab my hips instead. I pressed my body against his, and he moaned by the touch.
"Levi ... Levi, Levi!" His voice was slighty raised now, but I didn't mind. I let my fingers slide down, cupping the bulge in his pants.
"Mmmh ... Yes?" My lips met his, and there was no taking it slow anymore. I turned my head to the side, pressing my tongue against his lips to separate them. I gently started rubbing my hand against his pants, causing him to moan into my mouth. After only a few seconds I had to pull away to let the boy gasp for air.
"D-don't stop," He said, trying not to sound so aroused.
He failed.
But I didn't stop. My other hand had pulled up his shirt to expose his nipples, that had already become hard. My hand started teasing his right nipple, while my mouth started sucking on the other. This made Eren a complete mess under me, moaning og gasping for air. I could hear him trying to say something, but the words drowned in the loud noises that he was making.
His hand suddenly grabbed mine, removing it from his pants.
I stopped what I was doing to look at him.
"Don't... Don't just make me feel good," He finally said, after catching his breath again.
I raised an eyebrow, probably with a surprised look on my face.
"I don't think you're ready for that yet,"
Eren didn't even hesitate – he raised his legs up, and wrapped them around my waist.
"Then make me ready," He bit down on his bottom lip, looking right at me with his big, golden eyes. I could see the lust and determination shining out of them, as he grabbed my belt.
Now, how was anyone supposed to be able to resist that?
The next chapter is just filled with dirty Ereri smut. It's going to be hot.
