(A/N): Alright, so I'll say the same as Eren's about to think very soon! "Holy shit."
This chapter took me longer to write than I think any other chapter ever have taken me and I'm not even entirely sure why. It didn't even go nearly as far plot wise as I had thought I would.
But to be honest, I've had two very rough weeks since the last chapter, which probably explains my difficulties to focus this time and thus also my one day of lateness. Last Friday, the 21:st of February, a close relative of mine suddenly passed away. That, among a few other things have messed up my plans and feelings this last week.
So I'm very sorry that I wasn't able to keep the planned schedule this week! I hope to be able to update again the coming Sunday but I don't yet dare make any promises about it before seeing how I'll be feeling during the coming days.
Either way, I'm very happy to finally be done with this chapter and I really hope that you will like it.
...P.S. SORRY FOR THE CLIFFHANGER.
But you guys know me by now... I like my smut fucking detailed, hehe.
♥♥♥ I LOVE YOU GUYS ♥♥♥
Eren's POV
Holy shit, holy shit... Um... Let's see...
Levi and Eren had said their quick goodbyes to the group they had come along to the bar with and was now seated in a taxi on their way back to the hotel. Eren's thoughts were all scrambled up as he was trying his best to remember the five rules or guidelines Levi had given him the day before and which he was now expecting him to soon recite back to him.
Okay... So, be clean, address him properly... Uh, that I belong to him... that's three. So there's two more... Wait, that was three right? Clean... Address him... Eren thought and counted on his fingers. He tried to count discreetly and just lift up his fingers slightly with his hand resting in his lap, but Levi seemed to have noticed anyway. He let out a small chuckle.
"Hmph, getting panicked are we?" he asked, his voice proof of that he was definitely enjoying this.
"...Just a little, sir" Eren replied truthfully, because he knew that he expected him to be fully honest with him now. Ah that's right! Be honest and vocal...! He thought, relieved as he remembered the fourth one.
Too soon and yet not soon enough, the driver slowed down and announced that they were at their destination. Eren looked out through the window and felt his heart skip a beat at the impressively tall building. Since he was still kind of influenced by the alcohol he had downed during the last hours, every emotion was heightened, and somehow it made the situation he now was in suddenly feel very unreal.
"...Eren. Get moving, love" Levi's voice from the other side of the car woke him up from his momentarily stunned state and he hurried to open the door and get out. Levi came over to his side just as he got out and to Eren's delight but also increased nervousness, he put his hand at Eren's back and proceeded to lead them forward into the hotel. Ahhh... Eren thought, feeling happy and flustered and how his cheeks slightly heated up as he glanced over at the besuited man at his side.
In one way he was getting used to having Levi around, but once in a while it really struck him how amazing of a man he was and how lucky Eren was that that talented, strong, good looking and successful man for some reason had fallen for him.
The admiration he felt for him together with the current state they now were in since Eren had locked his collar gave him an intense longing to show him his adoration. So right as they passed through the big revolving door and entered the lobby that held a few scrambled groups of people, he leaned closer to him and with a slight smile whispered into his ear.
"I adore you... Master".
Immediately he felt Levi's hand at his waist shift; changing from a steady hand leading him forward to something that more resembled a dominating grip. His comment had seemed to catch him slightly off guard. The man turned his head to look him back straight into his eyes.
"I am going to have you repeat that again very soon" he promised him.
They had reached and was now entering the elevator. And as soon as the doors closed behind them, Eren leaned back against the wall and looked at him with something sultry in his eyes.
"Yeah? Preferably with your cock in my mouth perhaps?" he proposed. Levi took a step towards him and brought a hand to his face to take a hold of his chin to make sure he kept eye contact.
"You suggesting that yourself all fearlessly makes me decide to do even worse to you than I already had planned, Eren. Because tonight I won't be satisfied until I have you kind of wanting to get the hell away" Levi said and tightened the grip on his chin slightly. "I'm going to work with you until every bit of illusion of being in some kind of control of the situation is gone". Eren felt his knees grow fucking weak at the threatening words.
"Ahh..." he let out a shaky breath, his voice now turning soft and serious. "I understand... It would be stupid of me to taunt you, Master".
"Well I'll let you be the judge of that yourself, Eren" Levi replied and Eren noticed now that he was acting stern but actually not very forceful... and somehow, that felt even more intimidating, since it told him that he was going to tame him but with other methods that on their own were effective enough that he wouldn't even have to rely on his physical advantage. He knew that they so far had only scratched the surface of the kind of things Levi wanted to do to him...
His thoughts were interrupted by the elevator stopping and the doors opening. Levi let go of his chin.
"After you" he said and stepped back from him. Eren sucked in his lip and nodded.
"Yes Master" he replied in a low, submissive voice and scurried out into the corridor. He didn't quite dare to look back, so he just continued on towards their room a bit further in along the narrow space.
"Tch. I can't wait to fucking muzzle you" he heard Levi comment in a low voice from behind him, almost as if he was just saying it to himself. Nevertheless Eren responded with a shaky exhale that was slightly colored with his voice.
The older man used the key card to unlock the door and ushered him in. Eren entered but then just stopped in the hallway, not quite knowing what to expect or what Levi wanted him to do. But he didn't have to wonder for long, because as soon as the door had closed behind them Levi closed the distance between them, grabbed a hold of the younger's body and hair and kissed him.
Eren let out a surprised sound. Levi had apparently chosen to momentarily break his composed demeanor to instead touch and hold him passionately.
"Finally" Levi said, breaking the kiss. "Finally I have you right where and how I want you" he said and let his mouth travel down along the side of Eren's face. Eren let out a low gasp and felt like he wanted to just completely merge with the man. "I've fucking waited for this day, Eren" Levi murmured into the crook of his neck and made shivers rise all over the younger's body.
"I'm yours" Eren replied in all it's simplicity and undisputability. There was no doubt about it. He could do whatever he wanted to him. He wanted nothing more than to stay together with this raven haired man and be able to keep everything he was as his own.
"Yes, tonight especially, you fully belong to me. And as your master, I also to you" Levi replied, his voice strong yet quite soft and brought up a hand to the back of his neck to slightly tug at the small metal lock. Eren loved the fact that despite the very different nature of their roles, Levi had never tried to escape a certain level of commitment of his own in their relationship. He didn't have to say it like that, many Doms probably never did, but he did and it witnessed of how seriously he took his role.
"Take off your shoes and coat, love" Levi said, stepping away from him to do just that himself as well. Eren followed suit. "Now go in and wait a while for me in the bedroom. I have a few things to prepare".
"Okay... I'll wait".
Eren closed the bedroom door behind him and then took a moment to look around. It was definitely the most luxurious hotel room he had ever been close to stay in before. Breathing out a soft sigh, he plopped down on the bed and closed his eyes to try to listen to any sounds that Levi might make. Almost immediately, he was surprised to hear water start running from inside the bathroom. Was it from the jacuzzi? Oh my god... What's he planning? Eren wondered, flustered of the thought of what the older man might have in mind.
He could continuously hear a few low thumps and the sounds of the man walking around, seemingly getting stuff from different parts of the suite. Eren let out a long shaky exhale as he started to get restless.
After a few long additional minutes, he heard him shut off the running water and then the sound of him walking getting closer until the door to the bedroom opened and Levi stepped in. Eren took in the view with a smile; he had taken off his suit jacket and tie and rolled up the sleeves of the white shirt about halfway. He looked incredibly good.
Eren hurried to sit up on the side of the bed and Levi went right up to him.
"Alright Eren... let me first remind you of what it is you're wearing right now" the older said, stepping close to him again. As if I could forget... Eren thought but made sure his face stayed neutral. "You see. Absolute submission is a very psychological role that demands active and repeated management of the mind" he continued, his voice low and slow. Oh god... Eren thought and had to swallow nervously. "So first I will ask you once again Eren, not because I'm giving you a chance to back out, but because you need to both hear and yourself say it again: Are you aware of the weight behind your earlier action of locking your collar?"
"Yes... I've given myself over to you" he replied and Levi nodded.
"When you locked this you instantly became, as we both agreed on yesterday, completely my property" he added. His voice was low and controlled and seemingly caressed the air at the same time as he let one hand follow the lines of Eren's face. He stopped only when he stood right in front of him and his fingers had reached his bottom lip. Eren could feel his body tremble slightly as he felt the man's thumb push down his lip slightly, seemingly observing every detail in his face. "But you know that I treasure what belongs to me, right?"
"Yeah" Eren replied weakly, his hot breath spilling out over Levi's hand.
"Good" he said and then after a short, additional moment of looking into his eyes, he suddenly let go of his face, turned around and walked a bit further back into the room. Eren watched him with big eyes as he sat down on a sofa, his legs spread out comfortably.
"Now, come here and start to explain to me the rules that I've given you. You have the permission to touch me if you want to" he said.
Eren swallowed thickly. The nerves that were running wild in the pit of his stomach and the mere breaking down of psychological barriers that he had to do, almost made this too much for him. But the effect of the alcohol that still roamed his body in combination with the pure determination of wanting to please Levi, made him somehow push through. He let out a shaky breath as he let his mind fall down further into the full acknowledgement that he was surrendering himself to this man.
As if he could see the capitulation in his face, Levi slightly narrowed his eyes at him and cursed under his breath.
"Fucking gorgeous..." he commented, but then seemed to grow slightly impatient. "Come here, now".
"Yes Master" Eren obeyed and took a few steps towards him. "I'm completely yours... and that is the first one" he then started saying when he had almost reached him.
"That's right. And with your own words, what does that mean?" Levi asked. Eren swallowed and then after just a moment of hesitation, fell down to his knees before him.
"It means that when I'm having my collar locked my body is not my own... I don't have a say in what you to do me" he then answered him, his voice cracking slightly at the last words. "I ask you for permission and thank you for whatever you give me... both pain and pleasure".
"Very good, Eren" Levi said with satisfaction clear in his voice. He even sounded a bit impressed... and it drove Eren on further. Honestly, he wanted to fucking floor him.
Finally closing the last bit of distance between them, now on his all fours, Eren took the freedom to touch him that Levi had granted him. He slid up his hand over the man's knee before continuing further up along the muscular thigh. He gripped around his leg slightly and couldn't help but admire the very appealing shape. God he couldn't wait to see and feel him without this suit on.
He wanted to immediately go up further until he reached his crotch, but at last moment he managed to restrain the feeling, remembering that although he had his permission to touch him, this wasn't supposed to be about his pleasure. Not for now. He had a task to focus on. He relaxed his body to try to get comfortable in the position of sitting on the floor in between the man's legs. He then looked back up into his gray, waiting eyes.
"Secondly... I should always show my place by addressing you respectfully" Eren declared and was once again met with increased intensity in the look in Levi's eyes. That look could make him fucking melt. Furthermore, he could now tell that he was definitely not imagining the growing bulge in his lover's pants. The fact that his submissive words alone was enough to do this much to the man he adored, was an absolutely intoxicating feeling. Levi's dominant instincts were obviously as awake as ever and inescapably lured forth every single submissive bone Eren had in his body.
"Such as?" Levi asked. Eren didn't immediately reply, but tilted his head, leaned towards Levi's inner leg and looked up at him with eyes full of emotion.
Levi's POV
"Sir... or Master". His goddamn voice was shy but his eyes intense and yet again spoke of the young man's intoxicating duality that Levi completely had fallen for. Everything he was doing, from the pose in which way he was sitting, to the way his face shifted as he was speaking or reacting to him, was simply striking.
"Very good" he commented again. Eren brought up a hand to his own pretty ruffled up hair to push the fringe out of his eyes. The bobby pins he had used to style it slightly had since long slipped out of place. He seemed to suddenly realize this since he stopped right where they now were and just loosely fastened.
"Don't bother. They'll come off soon anyway" Levi said with a hint of a smile when Eren seemed to be about to refasten them. "Let me" he said. Eren let his hand fall down again and stayed still. It seemed as if he then started to hold his breath as Levi leaned forward in the sofa t0 gently take out the two pins.
"You've looked so good for me today" Levi praised him while dragging a slow hand through his hair. Eren finally let out his breath and leaned into his touch.
"Yes... I love to look good for you" he replied and Levi let out a soft hum. "And... the third rule" Eren started once again and sat up straight. "I will prepare my body so that I'm ready for you. Keep myself clean and well groomed".
"Yes," Levi said, "which actually takes us to some of the preparations I've made for the night". Eren blinked and sucked in his bottom lip, looking a little unsure of what was about to happen. Levi couldn't help but find the innocent looking sight endearing yet provocative. Made him want to fucking mess him up. "Follow me" he said and rose from his seat.
Eren's POV
Eren followed him into the gorgeous, black and gold themed bathroom but quickly had to stop in his tracks to take in everything in there that Levi had prepared.
Just as he had suspected, the jacuzzi was filled up with water. And it must've been really hot water considering the amount of warm steam that had filled up the room. No wonder the man had taken off some clothing items and rolled up his sleeves. In addition, he could feel warmth come from underneath his feet. The room must have floor heating that he had turned on.
To their left side, on top of the wall long counter stood multiple items. A metal bucket filled with ice cubes that held a glass bottle filled with what looked like whiskey, a couple of typical old fashioned wide glasses that's commonly used for the drink and a glass jug filled with water and some other clear items that he couldn't quite see what it was due to the amount of condensed water on the outside, however he could gather that the water must be cold considering the condensation. Also on top of the counter and as close to the bath as possible stood a few bottles that seemed to contain different oils or other body products... And finally, in the back of the room on a small bamboo bench was an open bag, but it stood too far away for Eren to be able to see what it contained.
The room itself bathed in a sensual, golden light. Levi had dimmed down the bright spotlights in the roof quite a lot so that most of the light in the room instead came from a pair of red candles that also was standing on the counter. The low standing light source made the pair cast flickering shadows across the opposite wall.
Eren looked over at Levi, eyes wide. As much as he knew that the man knew how to enjoy himself, this definitely was more so than he'd expected.
"Wow..." he just said. Still unsure what exactly Levi was going to do him with all this. He seriously doubted that the man just had a romantic bath time in mind.
"This is, like I said, going to be both a reward and your first real training" Levi then started to say.
"Training?"
"Yes. I've been very good to you so far" Levi continued and now also started to close up the distance between them. "Always letting you cum... Never quite stretching out your boundaries for what you can take" he explained in a low voice while putting his hands on Eren's hips and slowly starting to move upwards. Eren saw his eyes closely observe every new bit of skin that he finally was exposing. "This fucking alluring top" he cursed just as he had lifted it enough to reveal Eren's chest. "I won't be so fucking easy with you anymore Eren. No... now I'm going to teach your body how to fucking obey". Eren felt shivers form all over his body. "Off" Levi said and tugged on the black, cropped top. Without a word, Eren hurried to raise up his arms to allow Levi to take it off. Now, wearing just his pants, he felt the wall hit his back as Levi made him back up into it. The feeling of the cold surface in contrast to his own warm body made him tense up and let out a sound.
"Stay right there" Levi instructed.
"Yes, Master" Eren breathed. He followed the man with his eyes as he went up to the little bench with the bag. Eren felt his eyes widen slightly as he saw what he lifted up from the opened bag. It was one of the two pairs of handcuffs that Levi once before had used on him.
"Turn around" Levi ordered, looking as if he was drinking in his expression while he once again was approaching him. Eren swallowed thickly and did as he was told, turning around to face the wall and then brought his hands to his back, assuming that was where Levi wanted them. He heard the older man let out a low chuckle.
"Consider me impressed at your compliance love, but I actually want your hands at your front for now" he heard him say from behind him at the same time as he felt hands grab his wrists gently to bring them back to his bare front.
"Yeah? Would've thought you'd want my arms out of the way" Eren commented, sounding kind of breathless.
"Oh don't worry, they are going be out of the fucking way" Levi assured him, his voice now suddenly slightly darker than before. "Hold still". Eren bit his lip and looked down at his hands right as he saw Levi's strong arms around his body, his hands holding and then fastening the intimidating item around the first of his wrists.
"Fuck..." Eren cursed out at the sight. He immediately felt heat travel downwards. There was something about being at Levi's mercy that just seemed able to drive him fucking crazy.
"Now, be good and lift up your arms over your head" he then, much to Eren's confusion, continued. But he obediently raised his arms and looked up.
...Then it hit him; there on the wall, right above his head was an empty metal towel bar. Oh shit... He's gonna cuff me to the damn wall, Eren realized, just as Levi indeed took the still uncuffed half of the cuffs, passed it through the metal bar and then proceeded to get Eren's free wrist into the position that was needed to finish the job.
"Master..." Eren said, but it sounded more like a moan than the actual word.
The pose and restraints made him feel incredibly exposed in both its best and worst ways. He was so far still wearing his pants, but he figured that wouldn't last for much longer and honestly there was absolutely nothing he could do about it. He was chained to the wall, facing the cold tiles with his backside left completely open. And because of the tightly held position of his upper body, he wasn't even able to quite see Levi where he stood behind him. He was just able to tell his position roughly based on the shadow he cast on the wall, flickering due to the candle lights on the counter. But he could hear him.
"You see Eren". Eren heard his voice come from slightly further back now. "I gave you a glimpse of it the time we explored ten of your most sensitive areas, but in reality you've still just scraped the surface of how to truly feel; with every kind of sensation and without it being numbed out" he heard him continue and then he could make out what sounded like the whiskey bottle being opened and Levi, of course, taking his time to pour himself a glass. He glanced over to his side, further up along the wall he was cuffed to and could kind of make out the shape of the man's shadow self bringing a glass to his lips.
Eren noticed that his own breathing was getting noticeably more bothered, despite the fact that Levi had almost not even touched him yet... He tested to tug a little at the restraints but could do nothing more than softly curse and shift the position of his arms just the slightest. He heard Levi chuckle and based on the sound and their shadows he could now tell that he was once again standing right behind him. His voice had sounded dark yet been a witness of obvious enjoyment.
"Alright. Let's push your fucking limits, slut".
The word choices alone sent heat straight through Eren's body and he had to take a sharp inhale. The steamy air he inhaled took him off guard for a moment. He realized that it almost felt a bit hard to take deep breaths, due to that the air felt so thick and warm. Furthermore, the steam filled air seemed to carry a distinct smell of oil, liquor and lust, that on its very own did something particular to Eren's state of mind.
