Chapter 33: Jealousy

═════ ⚖ ═════

~(Y/N)~

Back home, I almost didn't want to come back. But that was temporary because Erwin would return after running home to drop his things off. He's been insisting to walk me to work especially since Zeke will probably be there waiting for me.

Zeke... God how I wished I quit my job at the fundraiser, but before I do that I want to help Erwin and also make sure I have another job set up before I quit. I didn't even want to think of what Zeke told me, that Erwin is a detective, I mean I believed Erwin. But I knew Zeke told me for a reason and that was to make me hate Erwin, to make him out to be the bad guy but Erwin is the complete opposite of that. He's been protecting me all this time, and it's part of his job to go undercover so of course, he had to keep things from me so I wouldn't blow his cover.

Standing in my dark apartment, I leaned against the door still feeling a bit weak in the knees. It was a very long weekend with my blonde lover, and we kept ourselves very busy. Gosh, I'm sure the housekeepers hate us for the mess we left behind. My body ached, but I liked it, it reminded me that this weekend in fact happened, after waiting for quite some time, I was satisfied with what went down.

Eventually, I had to push myself up off the door and lug everything into my bedroom to unpack. Upon walking to my room, Mango followed close behind threatening to trip me every few seconds. I left my luggage at the door and quickly headed for my bed where I sprawled myself out on. As I was lying there, my body tingled at the memory of where Erwin's lips once were. It was as if he left a permanent mark that I would always be able to feel.

Sitting up, I had to stop myself from daydreaming before I am late for work. I wouldn't want to upset Zeke more. As I stood up to get changed there was a knock at my door. That sure didn't take long. Quickly heading to the front door, I opened it to find my tall lover standing there with a bouquet of red roses. "Missed me already?" I tease.

He leans forward giving my cheek a swift kiss. Taking the flowers from him, I turn and head to the kitchen for a vase all while he follows me. The door shuts and I don't hear his footsteps behind me. "Here let me, you still need to change," Erwin says as he nudges my shoulder gently.

"You need to snip the stem a bit-"

"I know- where are your scissors?" he then asks. I point to the drawer and smile softly, I watched as he did his best to snip the stems evenly, but I had to do what he said so I went into my room to change.

I put on a simple, yet professional-looking dress on and paired it with some red heels. Looking at myself in the mirror, I wondered if I should put my hair up, I spent a few good minutes trying to decide before I noticed Erwin standing in the doorway watching me contently. That's when I glanced back at him through the mirror and smiled. "What?" I wonder.

"Nothing, you look beautiful,"

My lips pursed in an awkward smile upon hearing him say that. My eyes then darted down at the dress before returning to his gaze. "What do you think? Up or down?" I ask as I fiddled with my hair showing him the options. That's when he slowly approached me, his hands traveled around my waist until they rested on my stomach. I still held my hair up trying to figure out what look was best. "Hmm, let me see," he mumbles. A shiver went down my spine as his warm breath hit the back of my neck.

Suddenly his lips pressed against the nape, and he began sucking on my skin. "E-erwin~" I mewl. With a pop, his mouth released me and I quickly turned to try and look.

"Did you just-" That's when I let my hair fall. "Looks like I won't be having it up for a while,"

Erwin simply chuckles at my reaction then says, "I mean you can wear it up, at least then Zeke will see and realize you're with me,"

I shake my head but couldn't help smiling at his comment. Sure it would be nice to flaunt in front of my boss but knowing that he's potentially dangerous, I wasn't willing to risk pissing him off. "Can you really not tell me what he's being investigated for?" I wonder.

"I think it would be better for you if you didn't know, I don't want to risk it. Because if you know then he may just snatch you while at work,"

"But I want to help,"

Walking up to him, I rest both hands on his chest as he takes me into his arms. "I know Angel, but I just don't want you getting hurt."

"But what if me not knowing puts me in even more danger? I can buy a taser if I'm alone honestly! Or you can teach me some defense techniques?" I wonder. He could tell I wasn't really going to let this go, and I wondered if now he would worry that I would try and help even if he told me not to.

"I guess... after work you can stop by the precinct I guess,"

Happily, I jumped up to my tiptoes and pecked his lips. I know he's gonna worry but I felt that we'd be safer doing this together. But now after finding out about all of this, a dark thought crept into the back of my mind. I hope this case doesn't kill him like Mike...

~Time Skip~

In front of Jaeger Enterprise, I turn to Erwin who had walked me all the way here. "It feels strange not having you come in with me," Erwin had told me how he was fired, so now he would return to the precinct he worked at.

"I know... can you do something for me?" he asks.

Hesitantly I nod my head all while still holding his hand, with his free one he slipped something hard and bulky. I glanced down to find a taser. "Erwin!" I say in a hushed tone, quickly I shoved it down into my open bag.

"It's just in case you're alone with Zeke. Only use it if he grabs at you without your consent," he mutters. I dreaded the idea of being alone with Zeke, but I knew that I would have to be at some point until I found another job that is.

"I'll do my best to keep my distance. And if I'm alone with him, I'll have it on me,"

Then suddenly a black car came screeching right up against the curb in front of us. It was Zeke's car. Erwin quickly turned and partially blocked me from Zeke as he exited his car with his briefcase. Upon seeing my boyfriend Zeke's carefree smile dropped. "What are you doing here? I fired you,"

"I'm dropping my girlfriend off," Erwin replies putting a bit of emphasis on girlfriend, it made me smile. My boss let out a simple 'ha' as if he didn't believe Erwin. Finally, my blonde boyfriend turned, and right there in front of Zeke, he kissed me, nice and long. I wanted to pull away not wanting to provoke him, but Erwin held me tightly.

Once Erwin broke the kiss, he smiles down at me and says rather loudly, "I'll be here when you finish work," Smiling I nod in agreement, thinking he was going to let me go only to be greeted by his lips one last time.

After the peck to my lips, Erwin slowly walked away, his eyes now locked on my boss. His stare was intense, and they both look as though they were ready to deck each other. But once my boyfriend had left, I turn and head inside hoping to escape from Zeke, but that man came running after me. "Hey, wait!" he calls as I step into the elevator. Unfortunately, he stepped in before the doors could close. It was just us and the soft elevator music filling the silence.

"So I take it, you believe him over me," Zeke finally says after only a few seconds of silence.

"Well he did tell me everything, and didn't just leave important information out," I retort, I kept my eyes forward not wanting to pay this asshole any attention.

"What do you mean? I told you everything I know. You should thank me for telling you, I was afraid Mr. Perfect would've continued to keep you in the dark," Zeke was trying to justify his action which really was only digging a deep hole for him.

"It wasn't your place-"

The doors finally opened onto our floor and I quickly made a beeline for Hanji's office. I could hear Zeke calling out to me but I ignored him, I just needed five minutes if not more time away from him. After entering Hanji's office I let out a long sigh. "What's up with you?" she then asks.

"Oh just Zeke driving me nuts and I haven't even clocked in yet," Luckily Hanji had a punch-in device outside her office, so there I quickly clocked in and returned to hiding in her office.

"Is he mad at you after you left the fundraiser early or something?" she asks.

"Well, I'm more mad at him for what happened," I begin to explain. I basically told her a good portion of what was going on but left out the part about Erwin's actual job, she seemed a little confused which was understandable since I left out a big portion of why I left, but she still seemed to listen without question.

"So, Zeke told you things about Erwin that ended up being true so you left early with Erwin?" she asks at the end. I nod in response.

"Well, I didn't exactly leave with Erwin, he followed me back to the hotel...and yeah," After explaining it all I turn away from her, that's when I noticed some boxes. "You leaving us already?" I wonder, I begin fiddling with my hair. It was hot in her office and I was tempted to put my hair up.

"Yeah, I'll be heading back to Emerside, but I'll be sure to come back and- Holy shit! That is one huge hickey!" she screams. I had totally forgotten about that damn thing, I quickly slap my hand on the back of my neck hiding it from her. Cure you, Erwin!

"Who gave that to you!? Was it- Oh my god- are you and Er-"

Spinning around, I cover her mouth. "Shhh," I don't know why I was keeping it a secret, I'm sure most of my co-workers knew, but I feared that Zeke could be listening. "Yes, Erwin and I are together,"

After uncovering her mouth, she flashed me a suggestive smirk. "Ohoho~ This wouldn't have to do with what happened at the fundraiser now would it?"

I remained silent unsure if I should tell her all about my weekend in bed with this man. She was the only other girl aside from Petra who I considered a close friend- so I guess I could- "Girl give me details!!!"

Finally, we both sat down in front of her messy desk. "Okay well, you already know that Erwin followed me back to the hotel... well basically we were arguing a bit until he lifts me up," I began, from there I went into detail on how that night went and the next day. She seemed a lot more enthralled about this than what happened with Zeke.

Once I had finished talking, I let out another long sigh but I felt relieved that I got to tell someone about my amazing weekend. "Damn, you're so lucky, I wish I could find me a guy like that,"

I chuckle at her response and shake my head. "It's just... I've never felt like that with anybody I've slept with. And oh my god this man was experienced, he may not seem that sure of himself but when we were going at it, he was very much in control," I explain.

"What was your favorite part?" she then asks.

Gosh, I could list so many moments, the way his tongue and lips pleasured me, or how his hands touched me. "This is a little embarrassing but... I kinda squirted on him when he was going down on me," I couldn't help but feel warm telling her that, but it was true, that orgasm was so intense that I don't think I'd ever forget something like that. Hanji laughed at what I told her which caused me to laugh a bit now thinking back on it.

"Well that's a good sign I guess, that he knows how to please you," she says.

"Yeah, but it was nice getting to lounge around all naked and stuff. Not having to worry about coming into work or anything at all for that matter. Just me and him,"

Hanji pats her thighs and shakes her head, "Stop! You're making me jealous," I laugh at her comment, but it was all true, if I could I'd go back to that hotel with him and never leave.

~Zeke~

I was utterly disgusted, hearing (Y/N) talk about her oh-so-wonderful weekend with Erwin. How he made her feel. It made my skin crawl. After the whole squirting comment came out, I abruptly left. I didn't want to hear any more of this man and how many times he made her cum.

In my office, I looked over my schedule for this week, lots and lots of meetings. And on Friday before I leave to meet up with an old friend and a little hardware shop. Suddenly there was a knock at my door. "Come in," I call as I begin putting things away.

I glance up finding the lovely (Y/N) at my door. "Finally come to talk?" I watched her slowly enter, I noticed the way she held onto the door handle, she was hanging onto it as if to keep herself up. Her legs must be like jelly from the pounding she received.

My pants tightened imagining what she looked like underneath that tight little dress of hers. God how I wanted to pull her in, bend her over my desk and fuck her brains out. I had thought of that scenario many times. "Zeke," she calls, I must've been too deep in my thoughts.

"Yes, sorry,"

"I've brought some stuff from Hanji, it's about the fundraiser. Looks like things went well," she says, slowly approaching me she hands me the small stack of papers off to me. I took them, glanced at them then plopped them down onto my desk. Returning my gaze on her body, I couldn't help but smirk a little.

"Stop looking at me like that," she says.

"Like what?" I ask softly.

She held herself as best she could, trying to hide portions of herself from me, "Like a predator," Now, I slowly walked up to her watching as she moved back so there was space between us, but once she hit the door she held out what looked to be a taser.

"Do you even know how to work that?" I ask.

I watched her fingers fiddle with the device until it went on. While she was distracted I took it from her hands avoiding the tip of it. In one quick swoop, I had spun her around so her back was facing me. I then held the taser that was now turned off against her hip. "So sad, I thought you'd put up a better fight. But it looks like you're all talk,"

Then her butt pushed back against the front of my jeans, I stifle a groan and situated her in a position where she couldn't move as much. "Such a helpless little lady without her boyfriend here to protect her," I whisper in her ear, next I turn my face towards her head and inhale the scent of her shampoo. It was intoxicating, the smell alone was starting to make me hard.

"Let me go...right now," she mutters.

Hesitantly I did so, only because now was not the right time to take her. I had to hold out a little while longer- until Erwin was out of the picture until she had no one else to turn to. Until it was only me she could look to for protection. Watching her turn to me, she flashed me a hateful glare and said, "You disgust me,"

Tossing the taser back at her, she juggled it for a moment before having a firm grasp on it. "Whatever you say, sweetheart. Next time you threaten to use that on me at least know how it works,"

~(Y/N)~

I was shaking, mostly from being so fucking angry. I completely froze, out of fear mostly. I didn't know how to use the damn thing before but now I at least knew how to turn it on. Damn prick, next time I'm gonna tase his ass.

For the rest of my shift, I locked myself in my office answering emails and taking Zeke's forwarded calls. I did everything to keep my mind preoccupied with what happened in his office. But the office pit in my stomach from feeling his hard dick on my ass made me want to throw up. I even skipped lunch due to my loss of appetite.

Finally, though my workday was over and I was happy to see my Erwin waiting for me outside the building. I jumped into his arms hugging him tightly. "You're gonna have to teach me how to use that taser effectively,"

~Erwin~

As she wrapped her arms tightly around my neck I noticed how shaken she was. Something happened. I didn't ask, only because Zeke was right in front of us getting into his car. And I was afraid if she told me now, I'd probably kill him.

So instead, we walked away hand in hand to the precinct. It felt a little odd having her here, but at least now she would get to see a bit of my world and even meet some colleagues. At my desk, I let her take my chair when suddenly Levi walked up. "Oh hey, Levi this is (Y/N)," the ravenette stopped in his tracks, looking down at my girl he kept his usual stoic expression.

"Hey," then turning to me he says, "When you got a minute I'd like to ask her some questions," I nod at him and he starts to walk away probably to refill his cup of tea.

"Well, he's...charming," (Y/N) blurts.

I chuckle at her comment, "Yeah, he's not the most sociable person, but once you get to know him he's a pretty trustworthy friend," I explain.

"Did he work with you and Mike?" she asks softly, almost sounding unsure of her question.

I nod my head, "We all worked back for this family a few years back. The Curtis family, but Levi got himself fired when he started dating one of the daughters. So Mike and I left because the wife- Jodi started acting really crazy,"

"Oh yeah, I heard about the divorce, she doesn't even have custody of her two kids," (Y/N) replies.

I was glad to be out of there, honestly hadn't even thought of the family since now. "Is Levi still with the girl or?" (Y/N) then asks which made me curious as to why she'd want to know.

"Uh... yeah sort of,"

Then Kenny came walking by, he stopped though at my desk when he saw (Y/N). "Is this supposed to be your big solution?" he asks coldly.

"It's a step in the right direction I think. (Y/N) could give us more information. She is his assistant after all,"

Kenny still wasn't convinced, and I knew he wouldn't be, he didn't want me to involve (Y/N) at all being that Zeke was targeting her, but I figured this way I can protect her. "Whatever you say,"

After a bit of introducing her to some of my co-workers, Levi finally came back and we began asking questions. "What's his schedule like outside of work? Do you keep record of any of that at all?" Levi asks.

(Y/N) shakes her head, "Just work-related scheduling I overlook for him, but Fridays, he leaves the office two hours early. And it's usually after he calls the same number he calls every Friday,"

"What's the number?" I ask.

Quickly (Y/N) wrote it down then showed it to us. It looked familiar, and that's when Levi went to look through his files he brought over. Then pulling out information on the hardware store, I remembered. "It's the same number to call the hardware store. And you're sure he calls this number every Friday before he leaves?" Levi asks.

(Y/N) quickly nods her head in response. "What's at the hardware store?" she asks.

Levi then closed the folder after taking the slip of paper from (Y/N), "I guess that's what we're gonna find out now," I let her know. At least now we have a bit more information.

"Erwin, can you hurry up your little date so we can devise a plan?" Levi then asks.

Nodding in response, I got (Y/N) her coat and walked her outside. There I waved down a taxi for her and we said our goodbyes. "I hope everything works out with that number,"

"Me too... Hey, text me when you get home. I'll call you later tonight okay?" I ask.

With a sweet smile she nods, now sitting in the back seat she waves to me just as the driver pulls away from the curb. Thank you (Y/N)!
