While Eric was still in the meeting with Max and Four…..

"Tris where on earth did you learn to fight like that? You beat the crap out of those three and what was with the comment to Peter about only being able to beat a Stiff if she is alone and there are two of them?"

Guys listen it's a long story and it happened years ago but one day when I was walking home from school I was handing food out to some of the factionless when I was attacked by Peter and Drew. I had humiliated Peter in school that day and I guess he figured that they were going to return the favor to me. They grabbed me and drug me into an abandoned building and I guess they were going to rape me but….. Eric was nearby checking on some of the dauntless workers and he stopped them. He saved me that day.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa you mean to tell me Mr. I hate everyone and will make you pay saved you?"

Will he's not as bad as he seems he can be very sweet and caring. He's the reason why I can fight the way I do he taught me himself. He didn't ever want me to be in a situation again where I couldn't at least try to defend myself.

"So wait you're telling me that Eric, the same Eric that held me over the Chasm helped you and that he's nice and caring? Are you sure that you didn't take any hits to the head lately?"

Chris I'm serious and I know that he can be rough but he's only doing it to make sure that you are the best Dauntless can get. You just don't understand him.

"No you don't understand your so called knight in shining armor tried to kill me." Christina said with anger in her voice.

I don't like her talking about Eric the way that she does but I can kind of understand where she's coming from. I don't want to fight with my friends.

You know what guys I know that it is hard to believe and that you have good reason not to like Eric but I really hope that you get to know the real him and hopefully become friends with him.

"Tris, it seems like he means a lot more to you than just a friend."

I just put my head down and blushed at Will's comment. Why don't we just try some more dauntless cake and talk more about all of this later?

After we got more cake and returned to our table Christina began to hit me with more questions…. I wonder if she is going to be like this forever since she came from Candor. Geesh.

"So Tris you never did say anything about how you feel about Eric when Will mentioned it to you?"

Well Chris it's complicated because I've never spoken to Eric about how I feel about him. I try to show him but coming from Abnegation I am still trying to get this flirting thing down pact. Besides I can't tell if he likes me or just sees me as a little sister/ friend.

Before I could get another word out of my mouth I felt someone sit beside me. I looked over and was a little surprised to see Four sitting beside me.

Christina and Will looked like they were about to run when I asked him if there was something that he needed. I could tell by the smell of his breath that he must have been hanging out with the guys who had been drinking a little.

"Hey Tris I just wanted to welcome you to Dauntless properly. Keep up the good work."

He winked at me and walked away.

What the heck was that about? After he paired me with Peter today I thought that maybe he had it out for me. Maybe I was wrong, but unfortunately for him my heart is already set on someone else.

"Well that was random."

I know right Chris what is he trying to do?

"I don't know Tris but whatever he was trying to do if pissing Eric off was on his agenda it seems like it worked."

I looked up and saw Eric walking toward us and I felt a smile light up my face.

Hey Eric, how did your meeting go?

It went well can we talk somewhere private?

"Sure, guys I will catch up with you in the dorm in a little bit ok?"

Christina rolled her eyes and Will looked like he wished that he had a hole that he could crawl into.

Eric reached down and helped me up and draped his arm across my shoulders and walked out of the cafeteria with me.

When we were out the doors his arm dropped off from my shoulders and I immediately felt a longing for him to touch me again.

He laced his fingers with mine and started to lead me toward the net that we jumped into.

When we got there he climbed onto the net and then leaned down and picked me up to sit with him, his hands holding me around my ribs just below my breast. I felt my breath hitch in my throat and hoped that he didn't hear it.

Unfortunately I know that he did because he gave a low throaty chuckle and moved his hands. He laid back with one hand behind his head and he pulled me over so that my head was laying on his chest.

With his hand stroking my hair he began to talk to me. "Tris, I told Max about what happened today and I told him that with your fighting skills there is no way that you won't pass this part of initiation. He told us that he doesn't want to raise any suspicions about you receiving unfair treatment because of our friendship so he suggested that you tell your friends about us and tomorrow you will have your last fight and if you win you will automatically move on to the next part which is your fear landscape.

"Ok well I don't mind fighting only one more time, I mean while I like training with you and sparing with you I'm not a fan of hurting people just because I can. Do you know who my opponent is going to be?"

With that Eric looked down at me and said "yeah and I'm not happy about it. You are going to be facing Four and he is a fierce fighter. As much as I hate to admit it he beat me pretty good during our initiation. He's the only person I ever conceded to, we were actually allowed to do that then."

I rolled over so that I am straddling Eric's hips with my own and look him in the eye. His eyes seem to darken and his breathing and became a little ragged.

"Don't worry about it I have been trained by the best and I am going to fight him with everything that I have in me."

He reached up and tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear and pulled himself up into a sitting position with me still straddling his lap.

"Tris I really care a lot about you and if something were to happen to you I don't know if I could take it. Just remember everything that I taught you about blocks and reversals ok?"

I just nod my head yes at him. He holds my face gently in both of his hands and kisses my forehead. When he pulls back I decide to take some initiative and I kiss him on the mouth. At first he seemed shocked that I did it and then before I could realize what was happening he had his fingers tangled in my hair and his tongue grazed my bottom lip requesting entrance which I gladly granted him.

***********************************Light Lemon Alert***********************************

I'm not sure which one of us deepened the kiss but I felt myself being flipped onto my back our kiss not being broken at all. I wrapped my legs around his waist and I could feel his erection pressing into me through our clothes. Normally I would be a blushing mess but right now all that my mind can think about is how good it feels to have Eric kissing me and his body pressed against mine.

Eric breaks our kiss only to leave warm open mouthed kisses down my neck onto my shoulders. A moan escapes my mouth surprising me and I felt a low groan from Eric and he ground his hips into mine. The sudden movement sent a shock of heat through my core and caused my stomach to tighten.

Eric gently began sucking on my neck right where it connects with my shoulder and it felt so good that I felt like my whole body was on fire. His name was falling from my lips repeatedly. Then I felt his hand trail down my side and to the button on my jeans. Somewhere in the back of my mind I was thinking that I should probably stop him but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I felt him unfasten my jeans and lower the zipper and I gasped when I felt his fingers rubbing me in circles. My hips arched up against him and he huskily whispered in my ear do you like that baby? I quickly nodded my head yes and he moved his hand a little faster and soon I felt his hand slip a little lower and his fingers entered me. I felt like my body was a coiled spring that was about to pop. He captured my lips once more and pulled his fingers out of me and rubbed some of the wetness where he was rubbing before. He sat up on his knees and reached for the top of my bra cup that I didn't realize had become exposed and I nodded my head that I was ok for him to pull it down. First his tongue found my nipple and then his hot wet mouth did when he started to suck on it I felt all of the tension that was building in me explode and he quickly pulled my mouth to his and kissed me deeply while pumping his fingers into me and letting me ride out whatever it was that I was feeling right at that moment. When I finally could breathe easier he removed his hand from my panties and stuck his fingers in his mouth. Which totally shocked me. He zipped up and refastened my pants and fixed my bra and shirt for me. He gave me a gentle kiss on the lips and asked me to come to his apartment with him. I gave him a quick peck and agreed to go with him. He helped me to fix my hair and I helped to fix his I had pulled it out of its ponytail in the back and we walked hand in hand the back way to his apartment.

When we got to his apartment he pulled me down onto the couch with him.

"Tris are you ok? I am so sorry I got carried away and I never meant to push you into doing something that you didn't want to do."

Eric I'm fine I'm more than fine actually I've been trying to let you know how I feel about you for over a year now and I just didn't think that you saw me that way.

Eric pulled me by my hand so that my chest was pressing against his and said "Tris what I'm about to tell you I have never said to anyone other than my mom and that was completely different. I love you, I have for a while now and I just didn't know if you looked at me in that way. "

I didn't even pause when I told him that I love him too. I asked him exactly what it was that I experienced at the net with him and he told me that I had an orgasm which made me blush. I asked him if that is something that guys can experience too and he said yeah but he's not going to push me into doing something that I am not ready for. I told him that I am not ready to actually have sex tonight but I want to make him feel good too.

"Tris that is totally up to you, I'm not going to pressure you. I know how to take care of it myself if I need to." I just quirked an eyebrow at him and asked him to tell me if I am doing something wrong. He said ok. I pushed on his chest a little to get his to lay back on the couch some. I pulled off his signature vest and looked him in the eye for permission to pull off his shirt. He took his shirt off for me and dropped it onto the floor. I kissed and licked from his neck to his chest and when I got to the waist band of his pants I unbuckled his belt unfastened his pants and gave a tug so that he knew that I was trying to pull his pants down. He put his hand on top of mine to stop me and I looked at him confused. He reached into his pants and pulled himself out, I know that my eyes had to be huge because I was shocked at the size of it. I stuck my tongue out and licked him and he sucked in a sharp breath through his teeth, so I took him into my mouth and started to suck on him bobbing my head up and down. He tangled his fingers in my hair and I could feel slight jerks in his hips and his breathing becoming more rapid and ragged. My name was falling from his mouth over and over again and after a few minutes he said Tris you might want to stop I'm going to come but I just kept going until I felt him explode in my mouth I swallowed it down and kissed him before tucking him away in his pants.

********************************End of Lemon******************************************

"Oh my God where did you learn to do that?" Eric asked me still trying to catch his breath. I blushed and shyly told him I've never done that before.

"Well damn I am the luckiest man in the world." He gave me a kiss and pulled me onto his chest where we both fell asleep.

A/N Thank you so much for reading and for your reviews to my guest I am taking all suggestions into consideration. How did I do on my first lemon? I hope that it wasn't too graphic my mind can go to some very "steamy" places sometimes. For those of you who do not like to read them I tried to give a warning where it would start and where it ended. Thanks for all of the support.
