When you're sure that Erwin was done with tormenting you, a friendly wave, from the other side of the living room, was all you can afford for him. After this, you feel absolutely no need to move closer to Erwin as the length of the hallway. He grinned like a boy who was invited into a prank to be part of, knowing what that coy attitude from you came from as he waved back with a chuckle.

Levi stood up as well, wishing Erwin goodnight as he followed you suit back to the bedroom. As the door behind you clicked into the frame, you hear the key rolling in its keyhole, a noise that confirmed that Levi locked the door tightly. You gulp. This can only mean one thing...

Your growing nervousness and prediction turned into sharp and hard reality when Levi suddenly stepped up from behind, lacing his arms around your waist where his fingers immediately fondled under the hem of your shirt, feeling the skin under his fingers as he brought his lips to your neck, covering the skin with kisses and nibs.

How on earth can this man be so horny again?! And whats the even more important question: How the heck can he make you so needy again by just kissing your neck?! This stupid, addicted, continuous-horny and good looking bastard...

"Levi....again?" You mumble into the darkness before you, his hands not stopping to move further, up your stomach and your sides, taking the shirt with them.

"Again. I will be away for 3 weeks tomorrow. I want to use the night wisely, leave my scent and my marks all over you, to make sure you won't forget about my touch the entire time. I will leave you so overly satisfied, that you won't even come up with the need to masturbate. Might take the whole night....but I gladly take the blame on me." If there's one thing you're more than sure about, then its that Levi always keeps what he predicted and promised. Always.

As soon as Levi pulled the shirt over your head and arms, the rest of the night turned into a whole blurry mess.

To say Levi was merciless would be true, but the word wasn't strong enough to truly describe what you two did over the hours and hours throughout the dark night, where only the sheets, the curtains, and the few furniture were witness of the lewd and dirty words and actions inside here.

Again and again, Levi made you his. He took you over and over again, lighting up your burning desire for him with ease as if he was pouring oil to open fire.

After the third time when you came, you weren't able to sit, kneel or crouch anymore. Your arms and legs felt numb, bare of any life and all you could do was laying on your back, your lungs working so hard like never before to compensate the lack of oxygen inside your body while your bodies fluids stained the whole bed. This was also the first time when you spotted the large plastic bag that Levi kept hidden in the upper drawer of his nightstand. It was filled to the brim with single packed condoms. A year's supply, or so you thought. Alone on this day, the session on the couch including, Levi and you used up half of the stock. It was completely crazy but so good...

This man is insatiable. His passion, desire, and want for you was endless it seems. There never was a time in your life before when you felt so much of a woman when you're with Levi. The way he treats your body, caressed your soul and mind just like the rest of you makes you feel whole. Not even when you're laying on your back from exhaustion, he lost his needy and horny state, it even seemed to turn him on, even more, to see you so defenseless and devoted, that you won't even try to stop him from going on.

He used you over and over again, and it was absolutely fantastic. Orgasm after orgasm was your sweet achievement the more time flew by. Since your mind already said goodbye after the fifth climax, your body took over the control and handled the rest, even after you already passed out. One last peak was all that's needed when you finally lost your consciousness. What happened after that was out of your reach, but what you knew for sure was this: Levi wasn't the type for fucking a woman when she's not at her senses.

After a very short break for sleeping, two hours to be exactly, it was 4 am in the morning, time for Levi to get up to prepare his leave.

Since he formerly suffered on Insomnia, it was an easy task for him to work through the night and get up early, no matter what. He simply stood up from the bed and walked very silently out of the room, turning the key to unlock the door very slowly, not daring to wake you up from your sleep, but it was useless. Just the moment when he pulled the doorknob, you were back in this world. With a deep inhale and a grunt as you stretched your very sore limbs, you roll on your stomach to the edge of the bed, figuring its damn late, or early, to be exactly, but it something clicked inside your head when you find Levis side of the bed empty. Listening closer, you heard the shower running. Then it dawned you: He was preparing to leave for his stupid job. The last thing you want it to sleep and wait for him to leave without saying goodbye properly. The least you'll do is to accompany him when Erwin will drive him to the airport! Even if it costs your life.

It was hard to gain the strength to actually get up. The last hour's activities are taking their toll on your stamina, but you cant allow Levi to go away without you joining him. Way slower, as usual, you struggle up from bed, gathering all your willpower for not falling forward or back into the soft bed, that's so seductively inviting you into its coziness. Since you have no will or strength to get dressed now, not to mention that you feel sticky and filthy all over, you skip that part, even if it's possible that Erwin might be awake as well. It's a risk you're willing to take.

You peek out of the bedroom into the hall, where everything was still pitch black, despite the little shine from underneath the bathrooms door. With a few quick steps, you open the door to the bathroom, where Levi was still busy with washing his hair. He hasn't noticed you yet, so you took advantage of is unawareness to sneak into the shower cabin. As you tiptoed up to him, already rising your hands in the air to give him the shoulder-grab of death

"Uh, uh, uh. You wouldn't dare, brat." He spoke threatening and you froze instantly, gasping sharply from shock.

"H-How did you know?!" You blurt in shock. You weren't making any noise and the shower swallows also a lot of sounds, so how did he do this?

"Tch. You never noticed the little and cold wind blow once the door opens? That was my witness and your traitor." He scoffed, with an amused undertone.

"Pfff...smartass." You retort with a pout, stepping by his side to clean yourself, as you see Levi slowly approaching with small steps.

"Don't touch me, Levi. Or I swear I'm going punch you. My whole body hurts and I'm feeling sore and aching where I never believed I have muscles." The threat wasn't spoken so dramatically as you would've liked it, but you mean it anyways. You cant deal with anyone touching you right now, not even yourself, but you have to when you want to get clean.

"Tch. Didn't know last night was such a burden to you, brat."

"It wasn't. I'm just not so persevering and steadfast like you. I never said I didn't like it, but damn, sometimes I wish you would give me a break between the rounds."

Even if you spoke out the threat to him moments before, he stepped behind you, gently and carefully placing his arms around your waist, his touch as light as a feather. Surprisingly, it doesn't hurt. The places where Levi groped and yanked you during your session were scattered with dark-red and blue bruises, every single one a mark of where and how strong he groped you, but this touch was different. Very gently, he leaned against your back with his chest, bringing no pressure to your hips and skin with his fingers as he pressed you forward with his chest into his arms, his cheek resting between your shoulders.

"I'm sorry, darling. I caused you pain, and you look as if I abused you. What I actually did. I couldnt stand the thought of leaving you alone for so long and I guess I put all my anxiety and helplessness into my actions. I just.....dont want to leave you alone for so long and I hoped this night can help me overcome the long time by thinking back to it over and over again."

And there is the soft, vulnerable Levi again you adore so much. You lean back into his embrace, resting your cheek against his head by rolling your head aside.

"I understand, Levi. I'm not mad at you. I'm afraid of the coming weeks as well. But we have to think positive. It's not forever. Who knows, three weeks might be over faster than we think. And as long as we can see and hear each other via Skype or so, I'm sure we can do this. I doubt that this will be the last time when you have to leave for a longer time. So I better try to get used to it." You reasoned, trying to talk sense into him, and yourself as well. No matter how much your stomach will somersault by the thought of Levi being miles away for a longer time, its the best if you arrange with that.

You feel Levi nodding silently against your skin, but he stays in this position for a while, not willing to break the body contact while the warm water from above soothed your sore muscles and calmed down your heavy lungs with the warm fog inside here, as suddenly the bathroom door flung open with a loud yawning man coming through it.

"Mooooaaaaarning Levi...." Erwin murmured, rubbing his eyes as you hastily spun your head around in shock.

"ERWIN!" A high-pitched squeal echoed through the bathroom, loud enough to compete with the death scream of a banshee.

"Wha-?"

"Eyebrows! Get the fuck out!" Levi bellowed, covering your body from behind as he wrapped his arms and hands around the places that were only meant for his eyes.

"Oh! Man, what a nice and pleasing view to wake up to." For someone who might've just woken up, Erwin's mood had changed swiftly into teasing mode. With his stupid grin written all over his face, what you could clearly see from the corner of your eyes as he leaned with his elbow against the doorframe, rubbing his stubble with his free hand. Shit...with this short beard, his bed hair and this lewd expression, you simply can't force yourself to look away. In addition to the heat from the water from above, the fire that's burning from within your body added on top, flushing your face into a deep pink shade, what Erwin noticed without effort.

"GET.THE.FUCK.OUT!" Levi repeated, louder, intimidating. Just one more word from Erwin and Levi might rip his throat open, or that's what you believed, judging by his tone.

Erwin raised his hands above his hand with open palms in defense.

"Alright, alright. I'm going. Don't take too much time. I want to shower too." Before Levi could throw the shampoo at him, he already disappeared through the door.

"Fucking Eyebrows!" Levi cursed after him, but now that this weird moment was over, you couldnt hold back to giggle. It was so ridiculous and awkward at the same time, that you couldnt do otherwise.

Of course, Levi wasn't really getting why you laughed, but what you knew was, that he got infected by your happiness as he chimed in with a chuckle.

"Let's get done here, darling. Who knows what this asshole might have in store when we won't hurry." With a nod, you agreed with Levi as you could finally start with getting clean. It felt so good to wash off all the grime and filth that was glued to your skin like dried mud. As a little special, Levi offered to wash your hair. How could you refuse? With your hands on the stone wall, head a little leaned back, Levi took your honey-fragranced shampoo and washed your alloy colored tresses. His touch was gentle and rough at the same time as his fingertips scratched and rubbed over your scalp for a relaxing massage.

"I've wanted to do this since the moment I first laid my eyes on you..." He hummed into your ear as his fingers slowly travel down your spine, then to your sides, where he stopped by your hips as his thumbs carefully stroked over the bruised skin. His touch sends small, electric jolts through your body, leaving the places where his fingers touched you with gooseflesh.

"Never thought you want to touch my hair outside of the bedroom." You couldnt hold back the spark of a tiny grin. It's not so long ago that you mentioned during one of your night outs that only Levi is allowed to touch your hair, but he never really made any efforts to take advantage of this honor, regardless.

"Maybe because I like no one seeing me touching what's rightfully mine? Or maybe I don't want to give Eyebrows more things to be jelly of? I'll leave the choice to you."

"Ah. Now I got it. So that's your great, secret plan, Mr. Plotter." You joke, turning around to face him with a giggle.

"What should I say? I'm busted." Levi's reply came so quick and so dry, he didn't even deny it. For a few moments, you stood there, his hands lingering on your hips, yours on his chest, until you suddenly replaced the raining of the water with your laughter. Levi didn't really seem to understand why you burst out into laughing out of nothing, he just kept standing there as he looked at you with eyes wide from surprise. When you calmed down, you leaned your head down, bringing your foreheads together while a long, but tired and exhausted sigh left your mouth.

"I will miss this when you're away. The stupid talk, the little jokes, the small touches and so." Levi placed both hands on your cheeks, his lips kissing your forehead.

"I know. I will miss it too. But we can't change it anymore. We can make it, I'm certain. Let us finish here to let Erwin in. I'm sure he's already scratching with his heels like an impatient horse."

Unfortunately, Levi was right. You cant stay here in the shower forever, as much as you would like to.

After you finished with cleaning your bodies and changing into a towel for a quick tooth brushing, Levi and you leave the bathroom to let Erwin take over the place. He watched after you once you walked past each other. You should be used to it by now, but his eager and hungry stare always sends a shiver down your spine. It makes you feel like a little fawn that's being watched from a starving wolf in the distance.

Despite Erwins feelings he holds, and of course, despite the two kisses you shared, he's considerate enough not to hunt on other peoples grounds.

Once you and Levi got dressed, Levi already in his black suit, a white bottom-up and with his necktie, you didn't really recognize that you stopped in the middle of pulling up your jeans, since you couldnt tear away your eyes from this gorgeous view.

"Get a move on, brat. Or do you want me to help you?" He mischievous grin appeared on his lips as he arranged the necktie until it was sitting to his like.

"Huh? Oh! No. I- I'm almost done."

"Tch. You said that last night as well, and you weren't." He teased, turning around with a low chuckle. Your face burned up by this comment and you pout.

"Shut up, smartass. That's something different."

"Then what takes you so long? You want to stay here while I'm heading off to the airport?"

"Yeeeaaaahhh! I'm moving! See? Do you see how I'm moving? I'm getting dressed. All on my own!" Now it was Levi turn to burst into laughter.

"I see it. I see how you move. And I like what I see. Why don't you show me more?" He leans with his back against his wardrobe with crossed arms, watching your every move.

"Pff...Do what you can not leave." By pulling up your denim jeans above your ass, you jump a little to make the tight fabric roll over your butt, what earned yourself a chuckle from behind. Freshly washed jeans are such a pain in the ass.

The fact that Levi was watching you getting dressed was rather distracting as you though. Maybe because this wasn't meant to be sexy or lewd, it was just....getting dressed. To accompany your boyfriend to the airport. Alone this fact was enough to kill every mood that could've led back into bed for one last quickie before he will leave. When your azure v-neck sweater was in place on your body, two arms snaked around your waist from behind, pressing you into a strong and firm chest, a warm, but quivering breath tickling the skin of your neck.

"Levi? You alright?" He didn't respond. Silence was all you heard, despite Levis tries to steady his breathing. You never thought this journey will be so hard for him as well. You already felt the uncomfortable sting in your eyes from uprising tears, but if you speak to him now, you'll lose. You already see yourself on your knees in front of him, sobbing into his jacket, begging him to stay. You can't let this happen. By biting and chewing your lower lip, you forced yourself to stay focused, to stay put and fight your tears, no matter what. Levis's hands moved a little, lingering over your lower abdomen while stroking over the spot in slow, circular movements, right where your womb is.

"Levi? What are you doing? Is something wrong?" You ask since you have no idea what to think of his behavior.

"Hm. No. Nothing. I was just thinking about something. Nevermind. Let us go get some breakfast." With that, he parted from you, grabbed his packed trolley for traveling and left the bedroom to the dining area.

What was that? He was thinking about something? The warmth on the place where his hands were just moments before was about to fade away when suddenly something hits you like a brick from above.

Levi acted as if he's about to become a daddy! But why? You always used protection while having sex and the baby-topic was never mentioned before. To be honest, you feel as if you're not ready for this responsibility. Not yet. You're thirty years old, actually, it's about time, but you can't deny that you feel imbecile and immature to be a mother.

You shake your head to force your loose neurons back into their place. You? A mother? And Levi the father? It's still too early to think about this. Maybe in a year or two, when your mind has changed about your incapability to become a parent, but now. With a deep inhale, you follow Levi to finally eat some breakfast. Luckily, Erwin wasn't scratching with his heels to get into the bathroom but used his waiting time wisely to make some scrambled eggs, bacon and fresh toast.

Levi was already eating, reading something on his phone when you joined. That was also the moment when the bathroom door opened and a dripping wet Erwin patted through the hall, on his way into his room.

"Oi, Eyebrows! I hope you're going to wipe this shit away! And you better make sure to keep the penthouse clean when I'm away. I don't want to throw you from the balcony for your lack of cleanliness." Levi didn't even look up from his phone while he spat this threat so nonchalantly to Erwin.

"Yeah, don't worry. Maybe the young lady over there can help me keep the apartment clean. You haven't thought I will spend my days here alone as long as you're away, haven't you? Nina can sleep in your bedroom while you're away. What do you say, Nina?" The blonde man asked, rubbing his hair dry with another towel.

"Uhh...Yeah! Why not? If I'm allowed to come here, then I'm in." You chirped happily, but without looking at Erwin. You know he's just wearing the towel around his waist, and since you tend to lose your common sense when you see him like this, it's better to talk to the toast. Actually, you thought or expected, that Levi will put up a discussion about this, telling Erwin that he's a grown man and can afford to live alone for three weeks, but surprisingly, he didn't. With a simple shrug of his shoulders, he accepted the offer without further complains.

"At least Nina knows how to keep things clean to my standards. To have her here might be finally the last trigger to convince you to become a little less messy. At least Nina doesn't have to be alone then, right, darling?" Levi asked as he finally looked up from his phone to give you a little smile. If Levi would know that you and Erwin kissed two times by now, he wouldn't be so trusting, but since you have absolutely no intention to deepen things with Erwin like this, and maybe because Levis room can be locked, you accepted Levis agreement, so as Erwin.

As the blonde entered his own room to get ready, you suddenly hear a metallic screech on the dining table. Startled by it, you spun your head around, only to see Levi shoving you his keyring.
