Chapter 1230 Manipulated And Vulnerable



The hours passed in a blur.

Eren and Levine talked about various subjects as the former refilled the latter's glass. Between the city of White Raven's future plans and the Montmorency clan's resource management, they had a lot to talk about.

As always, the butcher charmed Levine with his words. He supported Levine's stance and her decisions when he found them right. He suggested alternatives whenever he thought she was about to do something wrong with managing her clan's resources.

The two also talked about Eren's graduation. Levine asked whom he was attending the ball. The butcher said that he would like to go with all the ladies he is currently involved with in any capacity, including her. Of course, he meant those in the capital city at the time.

Nina, Renita, Altashia, Marla, Almera, Nysa, and Jiana. Levine was also added to the list of partners Eren decided to bring to his Grad Ball.

If Eren was just a typical graduate, Grad Ball management would have declined his long list of plus ones. It would have shouted "fucking pick one" before shutting the metaphorical door in his face.

However, since it was "Grimdawn", Grad Ball management decided not to make a fuss. People also wondered if he was really as threatening as his title suggested because his actions pointed in another direction.

Of course, Grad Ball news was leaked constantly inside the capital city. Eren's young fans learned that he was bringing an entourage of beauties to his Grad Ball. They couldn't help but take pride in him. They supported him and his actions with even increased zeal than before, treating him as a god among men.

Greedy! That's what Levine called him when she heard Eren's Grad Ball plans. The latter just shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't mind the label and all that it implied.

For some reason, Levine didn't object to Eren's greed. She felt glad to be included and looked forward to attending the function with him.

Levine's cheeks slowly turned red as she drank. The wine glass in her hands disappeared when she thought she had had enough drinks. She looked at Eren provocatively before asking him.

"So… what will you give me as a reward for teaching you everything I know?"

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Eren met Levine's eyes and stared back at them. "What do you want?" he asked in a curious voice. The Master-ranker smiled wickedly before answering honestly.

"You. I need you, Eren."

Eren smiled when he heard Levine's words. "That's an excellent reward to have," he said, slapping the mini bar's counter. When Levine blinked, she found herself sitting over the counter with her lips only an inch away from Eren's.

Eren stood by the counter whereas Levine sat over it. The two felt each other's warm breaths as they stared each other in the eyes. Levine was taken aback by Eren's quick response to his advances. She could see a hint of playfulness in his eyes. She also observed his lips threatening to twist into a wicked smile.

Levine started retrospecting her interactions with Eren since she developed romantic feelings for him. Such close proximity to Eren allowed her to see past events from a different perspective.

"You… you have instigated me all this time. Slowly nudging me towards this very moment."

Levine rubbed her nose on Eren's as she spoke with a raspy and passionate voice. She felt Eren's hands around her waist on either side. In exchange, she also wrapped her arms around his neck.

Eren chuckled when he heard Levine had somehow realized he had manipulated her all this time. He was very patient with her. And this was the fruit of his efforts that could not be denied.

"This is a crucial journey for us, Levine. So I wanted to make sure you were led in the right direction. It was such a challenging job for me. Won't you comfort me for a job well done?"

Eren asked in a deep and playful voice while tracing Levine's waist curve with his hands. At this point, Levine understood Eren's nature well. She brushed her lips against his and almost kissed him before speaking up.

"Do you know that you are taking advantage of a vulnerable woman who seeks a solution to her problems in your embrace?"

Eren also started his tease. He pulled Levine closer and made her part her legs. Her dress was lifted above her thighs as a result. He licked her lips with his tongue tip before responding.

"Taking advantage of vulnerable women is my specialty, Levine. Many emotionally vulnerable women are roaming around everywhere. And many men pass on the opportunity to get close to them because they are stupid or scared. Or because they want the world to identify them as gentlemen.

I am fine with whatever labels the world or you gals throw at me. Come. Show me your vulnerability. So I can fix it. Or at least stop it from getting worse."

Eren rubbed his cheeks against Levine's before whispering in her right ear.

"I am going to exploit you, Levine. Now the real question is, what will you do about it?"

Levine felt a bubble of excitement in her guts after hearing Eren's response. Her heart was pounding inside her chest. She pulled him even closer before finally giving in to her desires.

"I… I'll let you."

Levine cupped Eren's face with her hands and looked him in the eyes briefly before kissing him passionately. The latter responded immediately by turning it into a smooch.

Levine felt like a block of ice in a hot frying pan. Her pleasure senses were overloaded to the max and she forgot all her worries. Every fiber in her body let go of inhibition. Her hands explored Eren's back as she kissed him and her legs wrapped around his thighs.

Levine also felt Eren's bulge pressing against her lady part. One could say that the minibar height was perfectly in sync with the duo's current activity.

'This... was long overdue. I'll make him pay for teasing me so much.'
