and I remember when I met him, it was so clear that he was the only one for me. we both knew it right away. And as the years went on, things got more difficult, we were faced with more challenges. I begged him to stay. Try to remember what we had at the beginning. He was charismatic, magnetic, electric and everybody knew it. When he walked in every woman's head turned, everyone stood up to talk to him. He was like this hybrid, this mix of a man who couldn't contain himself. I always got the sense that he became torn between being a good person and missing out on all of the opportunities that life could offer a man as magnificent as him. And in that way I understood him and I loved him. I loved him, I loved him, I loved him. And I still love him. I love him. - Lana Del Rey, National Anthem.

Jealous ********** Late night combat training was the absolute worst.. it was draining and long and the promise of a good nights sleep was so far from reach it left an air of hopelessness lingering in the Dauntless training arena. Even Eric was finding it difficult to keep his eyes open tonight, with simulations just a week away the trainers and leaders were doing everything in their power to make sure the new batch of dauntless initiates were ready to become a part of this faction.

Everyone’s energy was low.

Well everyone except Peter Hayes.

As per usual the loud mouthed trainer from Candor who did everything in his power to get under the skin of every single human being in dauntless was bouncing off the walls and trailing after… Lily Tucker.. the one woman Eric Coulter couldn’t get out of his head.

Lily Tucker was amity born and in the same grouping as Eric, she had been the first to jump and the only one other than himself and Four who hadn’t cried during the fear simulation. She was beautiful with long blond hair and ocean blue eyes.. a sweet smile that never quite belonged to Dauntless but a nasty left uppercut that snapped Tyler Bartletts nose in two on her second day of combat that proved she couldn’t belong anywhere else. Eric had always been fascinated by her warm smile and eagerness to help her trainees but the way she nearly salivated at the chance to raid the factionless compound made him feel things much more intense than fascination. Lily was his friend, Eric had never tried anything and as badly as he wanted to feel her smooth skin pressed against his he couldn’t bear to ruin whatever relationship they had now.. he needed her around, without her he could hardly see straight.

“Come on Lily Pad, just one drink that’s all.. I’ll buy you fries too.. you know you can’t pass up free fries.” Peter trailed a hand up her arm, smiling that crooked smile he knew made the girls melt. Eric felt sick.

“Peter I’m so tired.. it’s nearly one in the morning…” Lily sighed, unwrapping a smaller girls hand wraps and helping her stand on shaky legs “Molly you did so well today.. I know it was a tough match but you held your own and you have nothing to worry about in your simulation. Get some rest and I’ll see you tommorow.”

“Lily, the night is still young! One drink. I promise I can show you a good time.. get rid of some of that tension you’re holding in your shoulders.” Peter dropped his hands to her tiny shoulders massaging gently, eyes locked on hers.

Her crystal eyes shut sleepily and she moaned under her breath, Eric swallowed the growl that was threatening to spill from his throat at the way this… this.. boy! was touching her and even worse.. she was enjoying it.

“I’ll think about it okay? You go down there and maybe I’ll meet you after i pack up.” Her eyes drifted over his body before she turned around missing Peters smug and satisfied grin.

“You got it, see you down there sugar.” He winked before running past the chasm to the bar, adjusting his pants on the way.

Eric wasted no time at all marching over to Lily filling her duffel bag and pulling her sweater over her head. “What’s the matter with you?” He demanded, tugging on a piece of her long silk hair causing her to turn around, one eyebrow raised.

“Right now? Well my back hurts.. and I haven’t showered in two days.. oh and I missed the chocolate cake at lunch… oh god and the meeting this..” lily rambled before being cutoff by Erics exasperated sigh

“I’m talking about entertaining Hayes ridiculous delusions of you actually going to meet him for a drink.” He grumbled, rolling his eyes and crossing his huge arms over his chest.

“I am thirsty and I’ve been stressed lately.. what harm could it do..” she shrugged, swinging her duffel bag over her shoulder.

Eric’s impossibly blue eyes widened almost comically “You’re not seriously thinking of going to meet him are you? To.. have a drink?” He hissed, His hand reaching out to snatch her wrist, Lily looked down at his large fingers circled around her tiny wrist before looking back up at him with confusion etched across her pretty features.

“And if I am? Eric I have needs too.. an itch to scratch.” She whispered heatedly, cheeks pink with embarrassment as she turned her eyes to the floor “Peter is nice enough and it’s not like I plan on marrying him.. it’s just a little fun.”

It took a moment for the words to process.. to filter through Eric’s busy mind before they settled and rage filled the empty spaces. He shook his head slowly.. dropping Lily’s wrist quickly and watching as she stepped back “Fuck that.” He whispered, low and deep.. eyes burning into hers.

Lily’s eyes snapped up to meet his.. blue meeting blue. “Eric? I.. woah!”

In an instant Lily was scooped up and cradled in his arms bridal style, her duffel bag swung over his shoulder and he shoved his way out of the training arena, blatantly ignoring the protesting blonde in his arms as she attempted to wiggle free.

“Eric what are you doing? Let me down right now! Are you insane! I am not some rag doll you can’t jusg swing over your shoulder like a caveman!” She rambled on and on throughout the halls of Dauntless until they reached his apartment door. “why are we at your apartment? What are you doing!”

He slid them through the front door with ease and clicked the lock shut before making his way into the bedroom and depositing the wideyed blonde on the bed gently… she stopped wiggling and just stared up at him..

“Eric?” She questioned quietly.

Staring back down at her, never breaking eye contact the much taller man slid the jacket off of his shoulders quickly followed by his plain black v neck, layers of muscle and tattoo on display. Lily trailed her eyes over the marked skin before looking back to his face and cocking her head in question.

Eric took a deep breath “You said you were stressed.. you need a break.. a release? Well then you deserve to have that with someone who knows you.. who knows how your body moves.. how you move.” He bent down to untie her sneakers, pulling them off slowly.

When she spoke her voice was raspy.. strained “And you do?” She whispered

Eric looked up “I watch you everyday during training, your legs are strong but you love using your hands.. youre light on your feet and your hips move like music.” He whispered, reaching for the hem of her oversized sweater and pulling it over her raised arms, hands smoothing out the fabric of the tank top underneath. “Peter could never handle you.. he should never handle you.. you’re beautiful and you shouldn’t let something like that touch you.” He growled, narrowed eyes landing on the ceiling.

“But.. but you.. you should touch me?” Lily let her hands fall on Eric’s chest, fingers splayed against the patterned skin.

Eric’s eyes shot back to hers.. pupils blown out and dark “Only me.” He whispered covering her hands with his “only ever me.” Then his lips were on hers.. hands pressed against her body possessively.

Okay…
