Chapter 4 - Protected for the first time Pt. 2

~A little later~

Erwin, the relentless taskmaster, commanded Nina with an air of superiority, reveling in his own sadistic pleasure. Unbeknownst to them, the passage of time slipped away like sand through an hourglass, two hours vanishing in the blink of an eye, as Erwin ceaselessly tormented his hapless protégé. Despite the exhaustion that now enveloped her, a sense of accomplishment and pride swelled within Nina's weary frame. Erwin's repeated praises, like sweet nectar to her ears, elevated this experience to the epitome of her desires - a compassionate mentor unafraid to bestow words of encouragement when needed. As she delicately wiped the perspiration from her brow and neck, she sought solace upon a luxurious bench, yearning for a moment of respite.

Throughout the grueling training session, Nina found herself irresistibly drawn to Levi's captivating presence, her gaze involuntarily fixated upon him. The sight of his sinewy muscles flexing and rippling beneath his flawless skin held her captive, a spectacle for which she felt an overwhelming gratitude that he had chosen to train shirtless. In a remarkable turn of events, Levi had managed to shatter her preconceived notions, leaving Nina with an insatiable desire to delve deeper into his enigmatic persona. Despite the foreknowledge of her body's inevitable response to his proximity, she resolved to embark upon this perilous journey, her heart yearning to conquer the debilitating panic attacks that plagued her existence. She refused to resign herself to a solitary existence, forever condemned to the desolate abyss of loneliness.

Her fervent desire to acquaint herself with Levi on a deeper level instilled within her a sense of sanguinity. The notion that she could conquer her anxiety became a beacon of hope. At a certain juncture, Erwin meandered away to engage in a private conversation with Levi, and it was precisely at that moment when Nina found herself ensnared in his penetrating gaze. As their eyes locked, a surge of anticipation coursed through her veins, causing her to momentarily freeze in her tracks. His sinewy muscles, pulsating with vitality, and the prominent veins that traced their path across his physique, evoked an inexplicable shudder that reverberated down her spine. His unwavering stare, fixated directly upon Nina, elicited a slight startle, causing her to recoil in trepidation. The intensity of their eye contact was finally severed as Nina, overwhelmed by a sense of shame, averted her gaze. Alas, it was already too late. Nina detected a lascivious smirk playing upon his lips, a clandestine gesture that he thought went unnoticed, but was captured by her peripheral vision.
Erwin, soon following in Levi's footsteps, regarded his protege with an inscrutable countenance that exuded an air of profound suspicion. A suspicion that was undeniably palpable, leaving no room for doubt.
