A Wall Of Blue Roses(Un Mur de Roses Bleues)

What Sweet Seduction Lies Before Us

"Why me?"

That question escaped Belle's lips as she clutched the cloth in her hand. She was all alone on cleaning duty in Levi's office, with the door shut. Wiping the side of the bookcase down, she couldn't help but think of those sweet moments the past few weeks and the last couple of months which made her blush. Fleeting touches, the look in his eyes meeting hers, even when no one's around, he would sneak a kiss from her.

She even remembered that morning before cleaning his office up.

Earlier...

"Ah, that was a good dinner, I had." Belle sighed contently as she left the mess hall. Stretching, she went past many halls and was about to make a turn around the nearest corner, when...

"Oi, brat."

Levi's voice jolted her attention to him as she turned to see him, having followed her.

"Yes, sir?" Belle asked, saluting him.

"I need you in my office at sundown to clean it. Ensure it is to the highest standard." Moving slowly closer beside her, the captain smoothly caressed locks of her hair, sniffing and pressing them against his cheek as he added, albeit seductively with his lips to her ear. "I will be checking."

This was enough to make the brunette's cheeks tinge an extreme shade of red as love chills began to run down her spine, feeling his warm breath tease her ear as strands of her hair brushed Levi's fingers upon releasing them. Knowing herself, she could never turn down her duties and orders.

"Better make it spotless or he'll have a hissy fit." Belle said to herself, quietly and nervously as she finished dusting the bookcase and sweeping the floor and was about to move onto the desk.

Gliding the cloth on the smooth wood to remove the dust particles, Belle leaned forward from one corner to the next. She was so busy, she didn't hear the door opening, followed by footsteps. From the corner of her eye, Levi had begun to circle behind her, slowly as his grey eyes focused on her.

Belle paid no mind to him as she continued her duty. As she rose up from cleaning the corners and edges, she felt a pair of hands on her shoulders from behind, making her stiffen slightly, thumbs beginning to rub slow circles into her shoulder blades.

Belle nearly dropped the cloth, she was dusting with as she froze in place. "Sir...?"

His response was whispered into her ear, his breath tickling the skin of her neck, almost making her jump as his words were slow and deep voiced before placing a chaste kiss on her jawline.

"Why have you stopped cleaning?"

Belle felt her heart in a flurry of panic as she resumed dusting the desk as Levi continued his work. As she got to the last bit of dusting, his hands slithered down her shoulders and arms to her hands, his palms rested on the backs of them. Belle shivered under his touch as Levi's pale lips descended on the flesh of her neck, her instincts kicked in. She turned quickly to face him but her superior was faster.

"Sir?"

The next thing, Belle knew, was that she was now pressed up against the desk, her captain's arms trapping her as his body pressed close to her own. His face was close to her own, enough that a burning blush was now evident on her cheeks.

"Not expecting that, were you?" Asked Levi, his voice a low purr as his arm slithered around her waist.

Belle's eyes widened as she opened her mouth to speak, but she'd barely said something as he closed the distance between the two and his lips descended onto hers. She only made a small squeaky hiccup sound which was swallowed by his mouth as a hand slithered its way to the back of her head to keep her in place, entangling itself in her soft brunette locks. Belle slowly closed her eyes as she succumbed to him, her hands holding onto his shoulders to keep herself from falling back onto the desk. Her nerves calmed as she melted into the kiss, feeling like she didn't want it to end. Unfortunately, it had to as they both felt themselves running out of air.
