Chapter Seventeen

*I should probably give a smut warning so here it is.*

"Hange," I argue, reaching my hand out when she goes to walk away. "I can be of use."

"I know that, Eliora. I want you to keep an eye on Pastor Nick with Levi."

"I don't need to babysit. I'm more use with Titans," I practically beg.

"Stop whining, Eliora. These are your orders," Levi says from beside me. I sigh, knowing he's right. I can't argue with every single order or I'm going to spend my whole life in a cell for insubordination. I was already spared it for the forest incident, probably for patching up Levi's leg and he didn't get a chance to enforce it. 

The soldiers set off and I'm left with Pastor Nick and Levi. 

"We should probably go get fed," Levi says nonchalantly.

"Just like that?"

"Well do you want to starve?"

I shake my head. "No, but this is the first time I haven't gone."

"It's an adjustment for me, too," he says lowly, and I realize then, that we are both missing out on the action. 

Sighing, I nod, forcing a fake grin to my face. "Let's go find food. I want to watch Past Nick eat his with no hands."

"You have been spending way too much time with Hange."

After eating and finding room to board, I sit upright in bed, thinking of the discussion earlier. We only managed to find a room with two beds available, leaving Pastor Nick one and Levi the other, while I sat at the top of Levi's bed, close to the window in the center. 

"Stop thinking about it," Levi mutters, his eyes still closed. 

"I can't. Reiner has been my friend for three years. He helped me train every night, giving up his own sleep so I'd better myself."

Levi sighs, sitting up beside me, the only visibility between us from the moonlight.

"Maybe he intended on keeping you alive, as his wife?" 

"Doubtful. He made no romantic moves during those three years." I dismiss the idea. Everyone seems to think he is in love with me, but can't platonic love exist?

"I think his declaration was coming to the Scout regiment. Annie used her position in the Military Police to her advantage."

"He could've also been getting close to Eren. You can't really be speaking from personal experience, anyways. Do you even know what love looks like?"

"Somewhat." 

I look over at him, and he's staring at me, as if I should be getting some hidden markers. "Fuck it, you are so dense."  His lips are on me in the next second, and I can't even breathe. He pulls me into his lap and I worry about his injury, soon forgetting about it when he deepens the kiss. 

"Levi," I moan out breathlessly as he goes to the crevice of my neck. When he bites down, I cry out in pleasure, grinding my hips against his without meaning to. He pushes me onto my back, kissing me again fervently. His left hand blindly goes to my abdomen, untucking my shirt then creeping under, up to my breasts. The warning bells start to fade away as the good feeling outweighs them. 

"Tell me to stop, Eliora, and I will," he whispers huskily in my ear, knowing that his sexy voice and experienced hands would definitely make me not stop him. As a response, I press my lips against his hard, biting the bottom lip, emitting a gasp from him. I grin into his lips at the response. Growling, he pushes my shirt over my head, and I'm quick to go to his, getting frustrated with all the buttons associated with the stupid dress shirt. He swats my hands away, taking the shirt off himself, before going back to being against me. His nimble fingers pull away my bra and the skin on skin contact between our chests exhilarates me, cementing my resolve of what we're about to do.
