The Transtempus Penalty (ERERI//RIREN)

Chapter 21

Smut scenes in slow burn fics are always so satisfying, don't you think?

When I woke up, I practically had no concept of time or space until I heard Levi's voice whispering, "Eren, wake up."

"Hmm?" I mumbled, slowly becoming more aware of my surroundings, until I registered that I was still in the tent, with one of my legs resting across Levi's hips, and I realized exactly what was wrong with that situation.

"You've been kinda rubbin' up on my leg, man," he murmured, and although I couldn't see his face, as my eyes had not yet adjusted to being awake and in the dark, I could tell his voice was strained, and immediately I rolled away from him, now hyper aware of the hard on I must have been sporting, and could certainly feel chafing against my jeans.

"Jesus, I am so sorry," I began, feeling my entire face flush with an embarrassed heat that made me want to crawl into a hole and die there. "Oh my God, I'm so-"

"Shut it," Levi snapped, speaking in quiet hisses while he sat up, and I could see him wincing while he rested his hands on his thighs.

"How long did you let me- I mean, um," I trailed off, unsure what else I could get away with saying to him.

"Well, a couple minutes, I guess. I dunno. At first I thought you were just trying to stay warm," he said, both of us speaking rather awkwardly, as there wasn't exactly a gracious way to go about whatever had just happened.

"I am so sorry, Levi, I didn't mean-" I tried to apologize again, but, again, Levi cut me off.

"Don't apologize," he whispered, dragging his fingers through his hair, shifting his legs around on the top of his sleeping bag.

"Why not? I mean clearly I put you in a very uncomfortable situation, and that was so out of line. How could I not try to apologize to you?" I asked, but Levi held a hand up.

"Eren, come here," Levi said, curling his finger to gesture me closer. Once I was within his arms's reach, he took me by the waist, and pulled me the rest of the way to him, so that I was straddling his hips, and I could feel the bulge in his pants pushing into mine. I felt both of us shudder creep up our spines at the sudden pressure we were giving each other when Levi whispered, "You don't need to apologize, you catch my drift?" through his teeth.

"Yeah," I said, trying to hold still while I straddled his lap, but my plans apparently were completely futile, I realized, when I began to feel the need that had pooled up in my stomach sending shivers of lust through my body every time my weight shifted on him.

"Do you wanna keep going?" he asked, slowly rocking his hips against mine, almost as though he was afraid I'd ask him to stop.

I nodded, letting out a hum of affirmation that sounded much more like a whine. I leaned closer to him, resting my hands on either side of his neck while he moved forward and caught my lips in a smoldering kind of kiss. It was slow, but only in the way that a fire began slowly, with a single smoking ember that slowly caught it's surroundings, until an entire forest had burned down. I moved my hands up into his hair while his thumbs rubbed circles into my waist.

"Levi," I gasped between heavy kisses, enjoying the way our hips were rutting against each other, while he reached in between us and wrapped his palm around my swelling cock. While he started to provide more pressure to his palming, I heard a string of quiet moans escape my lips, pleasure churning in the pit of my stomach while his hand went to unzip my pants. He didn't try to move my underwear out of the way, instead, leaning back and pushing one of his fingers against my lips.

"Shh," he breathed, "you have to be quiet. What would the others think about this, hm?" he asked, and in an attempt to surprise him, I unzipped his pants, at the same time taking his finger into my mouth and sucking on it. I could feel his hips jerk forward into mine, and being completely silent proved more than a little difficult. "I have a confession, Eren," he whispered into the column of my throat, pulling his finger from my mouth, which exited my lips with a satisfying pop.
