The few upcoming nights were spent just like that. Steamy make-out sessions in the night while the office building was empty. It was like a ritual we both created.

Clinging onto each other with so much need. Kissing each other like our lives depended on it. God, it was blissful.

Through the few times I kissed Levi I was surprised by how much of an amazing kisser he was. He was rough, there was no lie in that. But he was also passionate and gentle, it was odd considering the fact I left his office each night with a swollen lip.

We weren't sure what we were doing, not once have we breached the subject vocally towards one another. It was like a bridge we both feared to cross. So, in answer, we don't dwell on it.

Instead, we allowed our lustful desires take shape and burn ourselves with each other's touch. It's the best way we came up with and one we deeply enjoyed. However, that's all we could think of.

Despite, the obvious precautions we must take during the day there was no denying the way we looked at each other. So much hunger always lingers in Levi's intense gaze. It always made me feel exposed, almost naked before him.

I always tried to ignore him but in the end when I do go see him he would always scold me and do his best to dominate over me. I found everlasting pleasure when he does that but, in the end I hated being the one submitting to his control. But I shouldn't be thinking of such things now.

With four unsolved murders and high possibility of a serial killer on the loose, I had to try to find some sort of connection between the victims. However, there was only so much I could do from looking at reports and newspapers. I had to somehow find a way to look at the Military Police's actual reports.

And Erwin was the only who was cooperating with them. No one else in the regiment was working on the case. A loud, impatient knock comes at my door.

I glance over my shoulder and push myself out of my leaning position over my desk. I had intended to question who it was but whoever was in the hall bursts through the door almost immediately.

"For fuck's sake you three are complete idiots!"

Edward stomps into the room with red gleaming in his eyes. He was definitely not happy. Behind him he dragged in both Hanji and Nifa.

Both also seemed stunned by Edward's outburst like me. Yet, when my gaze lands on them my eyes harden like stone.

"What the hell is this?" I sigh while leaning against my desk. "Can't you see I'm working?"

"Don't give me excuses, Em!" Edward explodes. He swings both his arms in front of him causing Hanji and Nifa to stumble forward.

"Hey, handle me with care!" Hanji scolds. "I don't like being man-handled."

"And I don't like your guy's stupid silent treatment!" Edward snaps. "This has gone on long enough! I'm tired of having to you two bitch and complain about Emma."

Nifa flinches at his choice of words. She immediately stares down at her feet while fumbling with fingers. Hanji simply stares back as though she didn't hear what he said. When Edward's fierce gaze lands on me my body suddenly steels itself.

"And I'm sick and tired of seeing you trying to act all high and mighty!" He yells. His anger has truly made me speechless. Not once have I seen him this angry. Especially at me. "You three go way back," he crosses his arms. "And it's about time you get off your high horse and handle this like adults!"

"This shouldn't concern you," I snap viciously. "Not only are you three years younger but you don't know shit."

"I don't know shit?!" Edward shrieks. His face suddenly turns red with fire burning in his eyes. "Who the fuck also fought on that damn mission?! Me, Emma! So yes, I know shit and know why you three are pissed!"
