NOTE: I'm not an active player in blackjack or poker so if I used any wrong terms ignore it.💀
You guided your hand to his lower abdomen, slightly nudging him back onto the bed, you climbed up on top of him and he laid flat with his feet still on the floor and you on his lap.
You ran your hands over his bare chest, feeling his toned figure. You felt him biting your bottom lip, he got rougher until you could feel his grip on your waist tightening to keep you positioned right where he wanted you.
His breathing got heavier and he gripped you even tighter than he already was.
He rolled you over, placing you underneath him and slamming you down. He kept your lips intertwined with each other. His lips were soft but the way he kissed you was rough, you were heavily breathing and finally felt relief from your chest.
His lips moved down to your neck, like he was eager to kiss it and caress it. You guided him down to the crook of your neck and he went for it, biting and sucking as he kissed.
He was biting and sucking hard enough to leave a mark, your chest kept rising and sinking at the feeling of his lips. He leaned in between your legs and you slowly started to wrap one leg around him.
You ran your fingers through his hair and pulled it out of a bun; causing it to fall onto his shoulders gracefully as he involved himself with the kissing of your skin. Your mouth fell open a bit as you breathed deeply with each motion or caress of his lips against your skin.
"No..." he whispered and broke his lips off of your skin and backed off, sliding his hands off of your skin.
He looked like someone who was guilty, like he did something terribly wrong but you were just confused.
"I'm sorry." he shook his head and turned around; leaving the room and leaving you sitting there.
You just sat there, something felt off but you obviously couldn't pinpoint it. There was always so much going on with him, you were beginning to get tired of him playing this back and forth with you.
You stood up and rushed out to see what all this was about, you didn't want to force him to tell you how you felt and you weren't going to force him either. He got off the last step and you followed behind.
"Eren stop it!" You persisted and rushed to catch up with him.
"What's your issue?!" You slightly snapped at him when you caught up to him and placed yourself directly in front of him to keep him from walking forward any further.
"You don't get it so move." he insisted and took a step to the side but you matched with him and blocked him again.
"What don't I get?!" You mirrored him again until he grew tired of it, instead of avoiding you, he started walking directly toward you causing you to back up into a wall in the living room next to a couch.
"I can't have you. No matter how badly I want you...I can never have you to myself." He backed you into the wall and caused you to hit the wall against your back and he closed the gap between the two of you by pressing himself up against you and against the wall.
"Why can't you?"
You couldn't tell him that you knew, you wanted him to tell you yourself but something was very obviously holding him back and until he came to grips with that you would never hear him admit it to you aloud.
The way he kept his hands on your hips to push you up against the wall, spoke for itself. You could be very indecisive, very impulsive when it came to things but this right here...at least right now, it's what you wanted.
There was something always severing the two of you you, always. Whether it was his own restraint to keep his hands off of you or simply the wrong time, it was something.
He was breathing just as hard as you were, you could feel the sliver of space between the two of your faces and he looked down at your lips for a moment more before looking back to you.
"I won't...do that to you." He says and slides his hands off your waist before turning around and keeping himself distant from you...again.
If only you'd known then that he meant more than fucking or kissing you, he meant a lot more than that. Bringing a lot more harm your way, the harm that even Mikasa and Sasha themselves knew about.
"I don't get you. At all." You sigh just as he starts to walk in the other direction.
"I know,"
You just left him be at that point, you walked around him and went into your room upstairs quietly. Not another word was expressed between the two of you, you shut the door behind you and crawled into bed.
This was the moment that made you second guess yourself, you weren't sure how you felt but you knew that kissing him relived you of more than just your chest tightening. Being around him was more thrill and excitement you'd gotten in a while, his inability to answer your questions kept you guessing and kept you intrigued, making him get more and more interesting.
There was always more to him, that's something you grew to like most about him but when it came down to separating your feelings from romantic and platonic...that's where the issue came in.
Did you kiss him because you felt something more than just his kindness? Or did you kiss him because you knew how he felt about you? A kiss out of pity? Is that what you kept coming back to?
It was hard enough to make the realization that you'd been emotionally unattached from Armin for longer than you'd been broken up, that's what made it so easy for you to kiss Eren. You were never Armin's, maybe the first year together, yeah but time after that all the arguments and fighting separated any romantic feelings you had from him. And of course, those romantic feelings found their way elsewhere.
You laid down and tried to sleep but the rest of your night you spent mostly staring at the wall trying to decipher the meaning behind your actions until it was settled. The simple fact that you were the one initiating each kiss was the issue, you realized that every time you kissed him first he would find a way to deny himself of something.
You had to wait to give him his moment, until he kissed you first. You would act as if he was untouchable, not batting an eye at any of his slick comments or things like that but you were slightly pissed. Not pissed because he denied you but pissed that he felt he was undeserving of you for whatever reason.
A reason you needed to figure out, that may have meant asking other people the questions instead of just him. The more you thought about it, the more it pissed you off because he made absolutely no sense at all and got away with it.
Eventually, though, you fell asleep in the blanket you wrapped yourself in on the smooth and soft sheets. You didn't wake up to the smell of food being cooked the next morning, the following morning felt bare but the house was still silent like usual.
Before going downstairs you took a shower and got dressed, you left the bedroom without feeling awkward at all beyond you were more annoyed than anything.
You saw him sitting on the couch playing a video game that was loud, he had a black tee on and basketball shorts.
"Good morning," he greeted as you walked past the couch.
"Morning," you walked past and saw that he left food for you at the table so you sat in front of it and ate while scrolling on your charged phone.
"Are you mad?" He asked but continued playing whatever game he was playing.
"No. Are you?" You asked and replied to Sasha's text asking if you were okay.
"Nope," you continued to hear the sounds of shooting and guns reloading from his game, you looked over and saw him staring at the large tv he had.
You continued eating until you finished and grabbed your plate and stood up.
"Put that down," Eren demanded without the slightest movement in your direction.
"What...?"
"Put it down." He demanded again and you looked down at the plate in your hand and ignored him, you went to go wash the dish in the sink anyway but you heard him groan at your defiance.
"Why don't you listen?"
"The same reason you don't," you walked out of the kitchen and glared over his way.
"Why is that?"
"Because you're stubborn." You remarked and he stood up from the couch and turned his game off.
"Yesterday...why was I being followed?" You suddenly asked to keep the conversation from getting too intimately awkward.
"Every man has his weakness, it's common knowledge to others who want to get to me that you happen to be mine." He took steps toward you; walking around the couch to stand in front of you and grin a bit when he made eye contact.
Yet again he threw another curveball at you, he couldn't withstand keeping his lips on yours but had no problem making it known verbally that he wanted more.
"Stop doing that,"
"Doing what?" He tilted his head at you and you watched a couple of men in suits enter through the front door, it looked like the men who acted as security at the gate.
"I feel like you answer me then say something completely different to throw me off! Your actions and your words don't match they just overlap and it pisses me off," you complained and watched him cross his arms over his chest.
"Go on,"
"You let me ask you all these questions and never answer any of them! You only answer the ones that don't make sense when you put it all together." You snapped.
"You contradict me on purpose! It's funny to you!" You snapped at the sight of the smirk on his face before chuckling, you shoved him a little out of frustration, his stance was stiff and you practically nudged him.
All the security stopped walking and stared at the two of you, immediately reaching to their sides.
"You shoot her and I'll kill you. Keep walking." Eren turned his head to the security and they nodded hesitantly before lowering their hands from their sides.
"I don't think you know what you want. That's why I'm so "contradicting"," he air quoted and you just scoffed at him.
"Well, I don't think you know what you want. I think you just like lying to yourself," you claimed boldly and he didn't make any effort to show a reaction of any sort.
"I already told you I'm a liar. That's not new."
"Okay, Mr.Know it all, what is it I want then? If you're so sure of everything, you have the answer to that, right?" You provoked and raised your eyebrows subtly.
"I don't. That's what I've been trying to figure out but you're a tough one cupcake." He clicked his tongue and shook his head exaggeratedly.
"So you can try and figure me out but I can't do the same to you?"
"Nah, I let you ask all the questions you want but that doesn't mean I'll answer them." He slid his hands down from over his chest and into the pockets of his pants.
You scoffed at him and moved to the side with the intention of walking around him. He grabbed your arm when you tried to walk around him in annoyance and kept you from moving any further.
"I've liked you since high school." He stated and kept his gaze locked onto you.
Despite being held there by him, you froze anyway. You already knew this but hearing it from him felt...different. It felt intense and sincere, you were stuck. He took his hand off of your arm and you just stood there...he looked off to the side; staring forward and you were waiting for him to return his eyes back to you.
"Levi...he told me," you gulped after speaking and he instantly looked back at you.
"Did you kiss me with the knowledge that I liked you?" He questioned firmly.
"Yeah, but-"
He slid both his hands in his pockets and returned his voice to the security walking down the steps.
"I want footage from building C, J, and M from last night and get me all eyes on my assets for the next three days. Keep the streaming service ongoing and just forge the replay from what I just played." He ordered in a more annoyed and demanding tone, all his security nodded and then scattered out the front door like a bunch of ants except for two of them.
"Eren-"
"Get that tattoo artist on call and I want you to fire her. Tell Carlos to reroute his trip and make a drop off at state borders, I already put what he needs to drop off in his car." He ordered again and began walking upstairs; leaving you right where you stood.
"Eren!" You called out again but he continued to ignore you and you watched him open the door to his room, slamming it behind him after entering.
You wanted to leave but you couldn't be stupid, you were safe here. Anywhere else you'd be risking too much, you got the feeling he may have thought you were using or toying with him. He's saved your life more than once now and you could confidently say you trusted him with your life, you weren't toying with him you were just acting on impulse.
This was a reminder of how you seemed to forget that acting on impulse tends to hurt people in the process. You weren't sure what to do, you felt it was probably best to leave him alone.
You decided to fill your time by taking a nap on the couch, you just laid there and stared at the coffee table until you fell asleep. The house was all empty again and Eren seemed to be locking himself away upstairs.
——
You woke up due to the amount of buzzing coming from his room, a loud and repeated buzz that was loud enough for you to hear downstairs. You wondered what it was and like a curious child, you wandered upstairs until you confirmed that the noise came from inside Eren's room.
You have a light knock and waited for his reply.
"Eren?"
He didn't reply so you just pushed the door open anyway, you saw him sitting in a chair in front of a mirror on his wall and he was tattooing his own neck.
He had black gloves on and stuff on his nightstand, near where the mirror was and he kept going over his skin with the needle and you watched him for a good minute before saying anything.
"Eren...?"
"Yeah?" He replied but didn't look your way, he continued looking in the mirror and wiping excess ink with a paper towel.
"I'm sorry for giving you the wrong idea, I didn't-"
"You wanna make it up to me?" He interrupted and put the paper towel down.
"Yeah...I guess...?"
"Come with me to a casino to make a couple of connections. Alex says I need to bring a woman and I want to bring you." He informed and set the tattoo gun down and unplugged it before wiping over the finished tattoo on his neck.
"Uh...okay. When is it?"
"Tonight. Alex will get you an outfit, she'll be here in about five minutes,"
"Five?! Why didn't you ask sooner?!" You watched him stand up from the chair and turn around.
"Busy," he shrugged and you went to go grab your shoes from your room.
He overestimated how much time to give you and the moment you left his room you could see Alex walking up the steps with a whole bunch of things in her hand.
"Y/n! Just the girl I'm looking for. I brought you clothes you can try on for the event," she rushed up the rest of the steps and guided you by nudging you into your bedroom.
She shut the door behind her and you stood there like a Barbie doll waiting to be dressed, she handed you the first option and shoved you off into the bathroom to change.
The first option was a short black dress, cutouts on the hips, and a deep V in the middle, you slipped it on and walked out of the bathroom to show her.
"Eren?!" She shouted loudly and not even ten seconds after, he walked in and saw you standing there in pinky socks and the dress.
"That one." He said after observing you in it.
"You haven't seen the other options," she remarked but he just shrugged.
"She looks good in that one. Why do I need to see the others?" He asked and sat down on the edge of your bed.
Alex sighed and rolled her eyes, she handed you the second option out of three and you repeated the same process in the bathroom.
"What about that one?" She asked.
The dress was still short, it was a casino, not a red carpet so it made sense; the dress was a deep red and had a simple neckline but very tight around your body. There was a singular slit up to your right thigh, the straps were thin and the material was silky.
He just stared at you, he blinked a couple of times but honestly, he looked like he didn't have many thoughts about it. You and Alex glanced at each other then back at him for about two minutes straight.
"Eren?" Alex snapped her fingers and he just glared over at her.
"What?"
"Thoughts? You two are matching so your thoughts are important." She insisted and crossed her arms over her chest.
"It looks good,"
"Is that all you have to say?" She asked again and nudged at a little more descriptiveness.
"I like that one," he mumbled as stared at you and quite frankly you didn't know what to do with your body or how to really stand.
He just...kept staring at you. Observing every inch of you repeatedly but didn't say much or give his descriptive input. He sat on that spot on your bed leaned forward a bit every time you came out.
"You suck," Alex complained and handed you another dress before she smacked Eren on the head.
You went to go try the last one on that she handed to you and you went right back into the bathroom. You pulled the dress down and put the other one on. Red must've been Alex's favorite color but you didn't have any complaints until you got to the back.
You needed someone else to pull up the zipper, you would've just held it back but if it wasn't zipped then the front of the dress slipped down your body. You cracked the bathroom door and peeked your head out to find that Alex was scrolling on a phone call that was probably important.
"Eren can you help me?" You asked, he looked up from staring at the floor and got up to assist you. You pulled the door back and he entered the bathroom.
"I can't zip it," you turned around and showed the state of the unzipped dress.
"Okay." He still stood there and didn't move or do anything.
"Can you zip it for me?"
"Oh. Yeah," he took a step behind you and placed his cold fingers against the zipper, he pulled it up from the lowest point in your back all the way up to the top.
"Thank you," you turned around to reveal the cinched dress at the waist and off the shoulder's top part.
"I like this one. Wear this one"
"You say that about all of them," you turned around and opened the door to show the dress to Alex.
"Just play Rock Paper Scissors to decide on which one," she suggested and returned to her phone call and paced around your room.
"She said to play-"
"I like the first one. Wear the first option." He said and walked around you to leave.
Though he may have still been what he called "upset" with you, he didn't seem very interested in what you wore at all.
He left the bathroom and you ended up just wearing the one you liked best, which was the second one. Since he didn't seem interested you didn't think he'd care if you wore something different than what he planned anyway.
You got dressed and Alex told you the shoes were behind the door before she left. You admired yourself in the mirror for a couple of minutes more before putting the shoes on and checking the time on your phone.
Eight on the dot.
You walked out of the bathroom and went to check where Eren was, you saw him sitting on the couch as usual and he was playing a video game...per usual.
"Ready," you announced and stood behind the couch, he paused the game and turned back to look at you.
"Alright," he stood up and set the game down giving you a quick glance and then taking a double-take as he stood up.
"You chose something different." He acknowledged and you observed the black suit he had on that was buttoned up and a white button-up underneath.
"I liked this one more and you didn't seem that interested in what I wore anyway." You shrugged and kept your hands on the back of the couch.
He walked around and you turned thinking that you were leaving, instead, he stood in front of you and stared at your neck and face.
"Do you have some makeup you could put on?"
"The fuck?"
"Shit, not like that...there's a uh hickey on your neck..." he pointed out and you put your hand over your neck and rushed back upstairs to cover it.
——-
The casino was around an hour away, you sat in Eren's car and neither of you said a word to each other. You just stared out the window the whole ride and when you finally arrived the valet took his car keys and parked it elsewhere.
Eren opened the door for you and got you out of the car, you walked side by side next to him up the carpet on the steps of the casino. The lights were bright and there were a plethora of people but you just kept to yourself even when you got inside.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Just stay next to me. If you want to play or bet in just tell me." He answered and you looked around at all the tables and people pushing their chips in.
Eren guided you to a specific table, you heard "Blackjack" being thrown around at the table and Eren reached into his pocket when he arrived at the table.
He handed the dealer money to buy in and convert his cash into chips to play. Eren glanced at an older man who was playing as well and the man recognized him and they shook hands before starting small talk.
You'd never gambled before or played blackjack but you started to catch onto it after you watched Eren playing a couple of times. When Eren was about to put a single chip in you pretended you dropped the ring on your finger and he glanced down at you, you shook your head and mouthed "All in".
He didn't make it noticeable but then pushed all his chips in, you grabbed your ring off the floor and stood back up. The dealer and the pit boss didn't look at you but the guy Eren had been talking to pushed all his chips in after seeing Eren do the same.
You watched all the next few moves and deals being made before the round came full circle and so did the chips. They all came back to Eren, even from the person who went all in like he did.
"I didn't know you liked gambling," he blurts and you return your attention back to him.
"I don't, this is my first time."
"You must be my good luck charm then."
The round ended soon after that and Eren looked around the room a bit before spotting someone else. You were looking in the opposite direction at the rn right red carpet and the casino slots that were making lots of noise, Eren guided his hand to your waist and pulled you close to him before starting to walk elsewhere.
He went to two other tables, doing just fine without your input but not as well as he could've been. With you, he was able to max out how much money he could make, you wanted to watch the other games on its own before giving input again so that's what you did. He spotted another table and it must've been the "connection" he was referring too before.
"Keep close to me at this table, yeah?" He said in a much lower tone before greeting the guy who looked like a high roller for sure.
The guy was much younger, he was wearing an expensive watch and there was a woman by his side who either didn't have much to say or was told not to speak. The game of poker started and you just observed the other players, Eren continued having conversations here and there with the guy next to you both.
The cards were placed on the table by the dealer and everybody made their decisions after glancing at their cards, you got to see Eren's since he was next to you and everybody said their choices aloud.
"Fold."
"Fold."
"Fold."
Three people already folded, leaving Eren and the guy from before left.
"All in." The man pushed his chips in and you furrowed your brows.
He was bluffing, you were sure of it. You put your hand on Eren's other shoulder and turned to the side to go in and kiss him on the cheek.
"He's bluffing," you whispered and kissed him on the cheek discreetly.
Eren kept calm and pushed all of his chips in, putting complete faith into your whisper. The game made a full circle and once again, you were correct.
"How 'bout that, huh...I'm Reiner by the way." The man introduced once the cards were revealed and resulted in Eren winning the match.
"Eren." He introduced and they shook hands formally, you looked over at the chips that Eren had someone collecting.
The small talk began into actual conversation and you stood by Eren's side and continued observing the room, not paying any mind to the conversation. That is, until you felt Eren's hand make its way back to your lower waist, gripping it tightly.
You looked down at his hand and then back over at him but he was still having a casual conversation. You still tuned it out, you didn't care what he said business-wise because most of it was boring to you anyway.
You looked around the room for a minute until you spotted a familiar face, Armin. And right next to him, stood Annie. You weren't expecting either of them at all but since Armin was planning something toward Eren you would have to learn not to grow so shocked when Armin shows up at the same places.
You received a text and looked down at your phone.
Mikasa:
Attachment:1 image
Omg??? This was sent to me
You clicked on the image and observed it for a moment before you figured out what it was. When you did manage to decipher the image, all hell broke loose.
"This bitch has lost her mind." You mutter and look away from your phone; returning your attention back to the direction you were staring at before.
You slipped away from Eren's grasp suddenly, you pushed his hand off of you and began walking past the abundance of casino tables.
"Y/n?" Eren mutters as a call out but you ignore him and continue walking with your shoulders matching your movement.
You spotted her, she was still near the door since she and Armin just entered together. Armin was talking to someone and not paying much attention to her but your focus wasn't on him right now, it was her.
You got close enough for her to notice you walking toward her and she did exactly what Armin was doing. She slipped away, turning right back around and quickly walking out the casino doors.
"Y/n!" Eren called out again and you started walking even faster down the red carpet to catch up to her before she got too far.
You pushed the door open and looked both ways, she was making her way down the long line of cars and valet drivers getting into other cars. She was thinking about crossing the road but you couldn't have that, the sidewalk was dark and slightly damp from earlier rain.
She wasn't too far ahead and it was dark so she didn't think to check to see how far you were away because he probably assumed she could just flee by running across the street.
"You fuck any of my other boyfriends? Or do I need to find that out a year later too?!" You snapped and held up the picture of Annie leaving Armin's house, a house he loved in only when the two of you were dating...making it clear that she'd been fucking him longer than you thought.
"A year later." She answers and you take the last couple of steps toward her, she's in a dress that matches with Armin and all you can do is scoff at her before anything else.
"You did this to me first. I don't know why you're acting innocent." She claims and crosses her arms over her chest as you stand in front of each other.
"I'm sorry, I don't remember fucking anybody you ever dated!"
"No, but you started dating Armin when you knew I liked him!" She yelled and you just stared at her.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" You scoff at her in disbelief, mouth slightly open and she just remains silent.
You didn't have to say anything else. Not an insult, not calling her a "bitch"...what you did next spoke for itself.
You slapped her across the face and she obviously was expecting another slap on the wrist or for Eren to intervene, even Armin to come to her rescue but none of that happened. There were cars parked against the sidewalk, you turned around and tossed your phone to Eren before you wrapped her hair that was in a ponytail around your hand and slammed her head into the car window, it happened to be Eren's car anyway.
"Fuck! Eren!" Armin caught up behind him, shouting in a nudge to intervene but all Eren did was shake his head.
"I hope he means just that fucking much to you." You held her head against the window and then let go right after, she couldn't do much because of how she was forced to stand in her heels, you let go of her hair and she hit the sidewalk floor.
You leaned down to her on the ground, crouching down next to her as she clutched her forehead and was forced to accept the fact that she couldn't even bring herself to hit you back because she knew she was wrong. She knew.
"If I wasn't wearing a dress, I'd fuck up that face of yours and show you that he doesn't give a fuck about you." You whispered in her ear, you stood up and pulled your dress back down at the ends.
"Fucking bitch," you commented before opening the passenger seat door and getting inside.
You forced out a loud exhale after shutting the door and Eren soon joined you after.
"I didn't mean to ruin your night." You express and he hands you back your phone.
"Ruin? Nah, you didn't ruin it." Eren pulled his car off the side and began driving.
"What about your chips? Where-"
"I just had Carlos get them. Let me see your hand," he brushed off and glanced over at your hands resting on your lap.
You didn't budge so he reached over and grabbed your hand, he stared at your knuckles for a quick section and then placed your hands back over your lap.
"It was all fake. The whole two years," you got lost in staring down and nodded your head slowly as you pondered.
"Apparently so we're the six years I thought knew Annie too." You confessed all at once and started to wonder where it went wrong but it was simple, the moment Armin entered your life was when it all came crashing down.
Eren listened, he didn't say anything because there really wasn't anything he could say. He moved his hand over and placed it on top of yours, rubbing his thumb back and forth over the top of your hand slowly.
"Do you have a jolly rancher?" You questioned and he shook his head.
——-
Eren unlocked the door, you were tired but wanted to find the time to think. You walked upstairs quietly and when you got in your room you undressed and wiped the make up off your neck and discovered the quietest place you could be without disturbance would be out by the pool, plus you'd get to put your feet in.
You changed into a swimsuit and wore shorts over it, Eren wasn't in the living room so you just assumed he was off doing work. His pool was heated and had a soft white light inside which gave the pool a tint.
You sat at the edge of the pool and kicked your feet back and forth slowly, you sat there; looking around at the things in his large background and how high up his fences were. The fence was black and metal, mostly hidden by tall bushes so nobody could look out or look in.
His high security around his home made you feel safer than you would've imagined, most people probably would've thought it was overkill but not you. You liked it, even though it wasn't specifically done to protect you, you liked to think that it was.
"Mind?" Eren interrupted from behind you, you turned your head and saw him in red swimming shorts.
You shook your head and he sat next to you at the edge of the pool, it was quiet for a moment and only the sounds of the water are what you heard.
"Do you feel any better from tonight?" He asked and turned his head your way.
"Honestly?" You hummed in response and he nodded.
"Yeah," you smiled and he chuckled and nodded his head back and forth.
To your surprise, he got in the pool and remained standing by your legs in the water, you were at the midway point in the pool so he had no trouble standing up, you watched the water droplets run off his chest and him looking up at you.
"Wait is it safe to get in the pool after a tattoo?"
"No but that's why I'm not going underwater," he shrugged and you got to observe the tattoo a bit closer and more in-depth.
"Oh...how bad did it hurt from one to ten?"
"Eight. Neck tattoos hurt a lot but not more than my ribs," he answered and you looked down to catch a glance at the rib tattoo he was referring to.
"Hm,"
"Why? You thinkin' about getting some?" He asked and tilted his head.
"I already have two but yeah I've been thinking about it,"
"Really? Where?" He looked over the skin that was exposed on you but he didn't see any.
"I can't show you. They're on each of my hips, more in the front than the side," you answered and he tried to hide his smirk a little when he looked at you.
"For some reason, I don't believe you when you say you've never gambled before." The pool lights highlighted his face, giving a blue tone and reflection of the water onto his body as he stood with his hands over his chest.
"I haven't! It was pure luck honestly," you shrugged.
"Gambling is all about luck. You must have a lot of it, most people only have that beginners luck on their first try, not the second too."
You just continued to stare at each other, both your hands were holding onto the edge of the pool and your feet fluttered slowly back and forth. He moved closer up to you, standing directly in front of your legs causing you to stop kicking your feet.
He was still very tall in general so kissing you even when in the pool wasn't a problem for him. Neither was him wrapped his hand around your throat and guiding you his way, his other hand rested on your thigh and you couldn't help but be lured in; slightly by your own will and desire itself.
He was finally the one to intimate it, he contradicted himself constantly which kept you guessing but something about him doing that kept you interested. Made you more likely to go with whatever he insisted on. Now that he was the one to initiate it, it had more meaning behind it, more passion.
You paused and placed your hand on your shorts, you slid them off and he locked his hand into yours; pulling you into the pool with him when you tossed your shorts aside. He didn't let your feet touch the floor, instead, he held you up by your thighs and you wrapped your legs around his waist while engaging your lips with his.
While kissing in the pool, you felt his grip on your thighs get tighter. You kept your arms on the back of his neck and after a moment you slid your tongue against his and took the jolly rancher out his mouth. Soon after, you both grinned a little through the kissing when the jolly rancher was guided from him to you.
