ALL MY LOVE, E
The crew was buzzing with excitement and anticipation. Everyone was doing the last touch ups from checking the cameras and that the lights were set up to changing positions of every decoration on the set one more time to make it look perfect.
Harry was in his dressing room with you, getting ready for his first big appearance in the spotlight after his long break. You were there in the role of stylist today, though behind the closed door, the professionalism slipped away occasionally, mostly because of Harry’s relentless need to touch and kiss his girlfriend all the time.
You worked closely on projects with the host of the talk show, Brittany, and one would call you even friends. You exchanged a few messages and celebrity gossip, or attended fashion events and red carpets together. But most of the time you mingled around to make everyone’s hair unforgettable, makeup flawless and costumes in a tip top shape, in this case as if they were truly from the original medieval times.
On other occasions, you were Harry Lambert’s, Harry’s stylist, right hand. Your boyfriend made it happen himself and even though he really didn’t have to, he begged his friend on his knees to take you under his wings. He loved your passion in fashion and the way you saw things in a completely different light than others did. Your creative vision was captivating and both Harry’s adored it. He wanted to support you in your career as much as you showed up for his own.
Your teeth were dug in your bottom lip as you applied a little bit of gel to Harry’s hair with focused precision before you ran your fingers through it to give it some shape. Harry was resting in a cushioned chair with his head tilted back and eyes shut, his arm wrapped loosely around your hips, holding you close with your stomach pressed against his side. You felt his fingers run up and down your lower back in mindless motions, sliding under the waistband of your pants from time to time to toy with the hem of your thong.
“What are you doing mister?” You said with a hint of frustration in your voice. You stopped working on Harry’s hair and slid your hands down, waiting for him to answer. You had to stay calm and professional, but with his antics, it was very hard sometimes.
You didn’t mind the affection and touches, but given your situation where no one besides your family and closest friends knew about your relationship of two years, you had to be the strict and grounded one.
“Nothing,” He smiled. The smug smile played on his lips, hiding more than the one word told you. He was in a cheeky and giggly mood since he woke up and that didn’t signal anything good but mischief. Your hands were shaking the slightest bit and anxiety pooled in your stomach. It was the first time you worked with (on) your boyfriend officially and you didn’t want to fuck up both your job and your secret relationship.
“Thought so,” You rolled your eyes at his answer and got back to work, setting the bottle of gel aside on the vanity. You opened your makeup train case and fished out a concealer and a brush before you applied the product everywhere it was needed and started blending it into his skin.
Harry hummed happily at the strokes of your fluffy brush and gave your hip a soft squeeze, sensing you were feeling a little on the edge. “You’re so tense, love. Take a deep breath for me, yeah? You’re doing perfect.”
“Why aren’t you nervous?” You stressed out with a quiet huff, “This is your first big thing after your break! You were shaking before the radio interviews but now when it's a big show you’re completely in zen! How?”
“Don’t know. Maybe because I have my lucky charm here pampering me today,” He grinned and finally opened his eyes to look up at you. Your brows were furrowed and your bottom lip was stuck out in a pout.
“It’s gonna be fun! Or you don’t think I’m gonna look good as a king?” He teased you lightly.
“Oh sorry your highness. You’re gonna look perfect.” You mocked him, but the corners of your mouth tugged upwards into a small smile soon after.
You reached for another product then and changed your brush for a different one as Harry’s eyes lingered on you, watching your every move, all while you covered his skin in a healthy amount of powder so he wouldn’t look too shiny on the camera.
“Should be good,” Your free hand moved up to gently caress his stubbled cheek, making sure you did a good job. “Lambert helps you with the costume, I’m gonna go check on Brittany now.”
“Uh uh no kiss?” Harry reached after your arm when you pulled away to pack your things so you could go to Brittany’s dressing room. You couldn’t hide from his relentless affection even if you tried.
“Harry,” You warned him but leaned down to peck his lips anyway. He slid his fingers into your hair, holding your head in his palm and tilting it to his liking before prolonging the kiss. It didn’t last long before Lambert cleared his throat and ruined your makeout session. It made you pull away from Harry with warm cheeks.
“Behave. She needs to work,” He grinned at Harry, proud of himself he made you flustered and focused all at once.
“I’ll stop by before you have to go on set,” You murmured to your boyfriend when you clasped your makeup train case closed and left the room.
Brittany had her private space right next door and after a soft knock on the door you heard loud enough “come in!” and followed the cue. She was all smiles and beaming with excitement about the shooting. She wanted Harry on her show for ages and finally when he was doing a promo for his upcoming album, her dream came true.
You talked about everything and nothing as you did her makeup and hair. About the jokes and topics she had prepared and some new gossip she heard, but the conversation was mostly about Harry and you had to think really hard about what you were saying because you didn’t want any private information to slip out.
“That looks amazing! Thank you!” She smiled widely when she checked herself in the mirror. “There’s a reason you work with Harry Lambert for sure! And the outfit you picked for me? Love that!”
You smiled shyly at her reaction and straightened the sweater hanging on the wardrobe door. You picked for her the same outfit Harry wore in his ‘Aperture’ music video, thinking it fit the vibe of the day. There was a beautiful mantle resting over the armchair in the corner of the room too, waiting to be put on and give Brittany’s look the right blink.
While she was getting ready on her own, you found yourself a moment to breathe. Hidden in a dimmed hallway that was previously filled with all the cameras, lights and sound equipment, you were looking out of the window. The streets in LA were busy. Cars drove by, trees shimmered from the light winter wind and you saw a receipt someone had lost dancing on the sidewalk, little kids were happily skipping as they held their parent’s hand on their way to the ice cream shop just a few meters away and young couples kissed like the time was relative.
You didn’t hear the faint sound of the door on the end of the hallway opening, nor the soft thuds of shoes against the wooden floor, too absorbed in the ordinary scene in front of you. But a warm hand on your shoulder made you finally come back to your senses and you shrieked in shock, abruptly turning around to see who disrupted your moment of peace.
“Hey, hey, it’s just me, love,” Harry smiled at you softly when he saw the look of horror on your face and reached out to cup your cheek, gently tracing the map of your freckles on your skin with his thumb. He was already dressed up and ready to go. With a dark cape adorned by embroidered flowers and golden fringing, hiding his casual outfit of black longsleeve and gray pants underneath, a crown on the top of his head and elf ears, both slanted, he looked almost comical. Completely out of the fantasy books you had in the bookshelf.
“You can’t sneak up on me like that!” You cried out, clutching your chest while still breathing heavily from the initial shock. “Wait, aren’t you supposed to be shooting by any moment?”
“Yeah, yeah. Just wanted to check on my girl first. You’ve been tense all day, are you alright?” His voice softened when you leaned into his touch like a touch starved kitten and without thinking he wrapped his free arm around you, cradling you against his sturdy chest. He tugged at the fabric of his cape and pulled it over your body so only your head was peeking out.
“ ‘M okay, just nervous for both of us I guess. It’s the first time for us like that, I’m trying not to spoil anything,” You mumbled quietly and buried your face deeper in his shirt, chasing the comfort he was offering.
“My sweet, nervous girl. There’s no need for this feeling, you’re doing great. More than great. I love seeing you in your element, even with that little anxiety of yours. Makes me so happy you’re here with me.” Harry gently rocked you from side to side, something he found made your nerves calm down. You felt his nose nuzzling in the side of your face, the trace of touch he left behind tickled your skin. He dived in for a kiss immediately when you turned your head up to look at him. He pecked your lips first, a few small pecks pressed in the center of your mouth and the corners, but when he heard the impatient huff of yours, he kissed you properly without any more teasing.
“Shouldnt you go back on set?” The thought hit you after a moment. The more time you both would spend hidden, the more suspicious this could get. But Harry was unphased by it and whined at the sudden loss of your lips when you pulled away.
“Told them I'm gonna take a wee, they can wait a minute longer,” He smiled proudly at his not so subtle lie and leaned in for another, this time significantly shorter, kiss.
“But toilets aren’t here,” You stated matter of factly, but stood up on your toes to look over his shoulder anyway to check there weren’t indeed any bathrooms, just one door leading back on the set, and another hiding an utility room.
“Then I suppose I got lost… in these beautiful eyes of yours,” Harry’s smile widened the more he looked down at you and slowly turned into the cheeky grin you saw playing on his lips just minutes ago in his dressing room. He reached up and tugged a lost strand of hair behind your ear, watching your cheeks turn a warm shade of red.
“Go back on the set,” You groaned and buried your face back in his chest, suddenly flustered at his compliment. He had this way of making you squirm under his gaze with literally any word.
“Alright, alright. I’m leaving,” Harry laughed, his chest shaking lightly against your cheek before you pulled away from his strong arms and straightened his cape to make him look like he wasn’t just cuddling you a minute ago.
“Love you,” You said softly when he reached for the door handle, making him whip his head to look back at you.
“Love you, baby,” He winked and with another soft smile sent your way, he left.
You stayed in the hallway for a few minutes longer. The scene behind the window remained the same, just with different cars and different people around. You heard the muffled sounds of steps and loud laughter, the palpable excitement from the set seeped under the door to you.
“Welcome to Royal Court, the show where pop culture royalty compete for a spot on my trusted council. I am your host and Queen, Lady Brittany of House Broski, and today I'm joined by the guest.” Brittany was already speaking in front of the camera when you walked back in. She was sitting on a golden carved throne and wore the mantle you prepared for her beforehand. “I'm joined by the guest, a rock star turned disco diva, all the way from the Island of Eroda, please welcome Lord Harry Styles.”
“Greetings. Thank you for having me.” Harry got in the frame with a humbled smile and nodded at everyone in the room including you in a greeting. You stood with Harry Lambert on the side, his arm wrapped around your shoulders in a comforting side hug.
“Now, what are we wearing today?” Brittany acknowledged his outfit, her hand flying briefly in the air, pointing at him.
“I'm wearing a cape. Um, a crown, and some ears.” Harry looked down at himself to check himself before sparing a quick look into your direction. The picked outfit was your making after all. “Not often seen all together. And they're actually kind of holding the crown on for some reason.”
“Well, Lord Harry.” She spoke in a deeper voice, wild emotions very obvious in her partly theatrical speech. “Are you ready for the trial set before you today?”
“I'm ready.” Harry nodded with full confidence.
“All right. Without further ado, let the trials begin!” Brittany clapped her hands and suddenly the whole room turned dark for a few moments, before a bright white light aimed at the two of them, making Harry’s eyes widen in surprise.
He didn’t budge at Brittany’s sometimes quite personal questions and only joked along with her, sometimes even made her flustered. He was all smiles and laughs. You haven’t seen him at ease in a public appearance after all the chaos came with his planned album release.
In the second half of the interview, Harry got a set of markers and an old looking paper with a shield in the middle he had to fill up with his drawings, while Brittany asked him more questions.
“When talking about the genesis of pleasing,” Brittany started. Her eyes flickered between her notes and him, waiting for his answer in a form of nod, before she continued. “You said that it was always the small moments in life that brought you the most joy.”
“Yeah,” Harry hummed with a soft smile as he drew a disco ball in one of the quarters in the shield.
“What’s a recent moment that you can recall that’s like this is one of those moments?” She set her notes down in her lap and leaned back in the cushions on the throne.
The question made Harry grin widely because the only thing that could come to his mind was you, his sweet girlfriend. He bit his lip for a moment in thought, scribbling a few more lines around the disco ball with a pink marker, before he set the paper down and looked at you hidden behind the cameras, checking with you.
“Every moment with my girlfriend honestly,” His cheeks grew just a tiny bit red at his confession. It was the first time he had spoken about you publicly.
You’d talked about it before. Making your relationship official to the world of fans and press. It was a thing that would happen sooner and later with the attention he had again, and you were okay with making it public. Though Harry announcing it like that was the last way you'd expect this interview to go.
“A girlfriend?” Brittany shrieked in excitement, not expecting this type of an answer either. Harry’s eyes flickered between the host of the show and you, debating his next action briefly.
“Yeah, my girlfriend,” Harry confirmed with a confident nod, the grin on his lips laced with mischief. “Wanna meet her? She’s here,”
Your eyes widened in shock just as Brittany’s, both of your reactions almost identical, making Harry laugh loudly. Everyone knew if Harry was really protective over something, it was his privacy and loved ones.
“She’s here? Here? What do you mean your girlfriend is here, Harry?!” Brittany’s hands flew up to cover her mouth, her eyes now ticking between every single person in the crew, their faces lit up in surprise as well.
“Mhm, darling? Come here, come say hello, please?” Harry turned away from Brittany to you on the opposite side of the room, still standing close to Harry Lambert, and opened his arms widely to welcome you.
You hesitated for a split of a second, the realisation that what was only yours will know the rest of the world dawning on you. But seeing Harry so happy and in his element made you walk up to Harry and in front of the cameras. You were so grateful you put lots of effort in your own look, knowing this will be all over the internet after the show airs.
“Come here,” He repeated in a soft murmur and gently pulled you down to sit on his thigh when you were close enough.
Brittany sat there speechless. With mouth hanging open in shock and widened eyes at what was unraveling in front of her. She expected everything from this interview. A secret, more news about the album, but not an announcement of her favourite singer’s relationship.
“That’s a stunt, right guys?” She chuckled nervously, not believing her eyes. “You’re just messing with us, Harry!”
“No, no,” Harry shook his head with a soft laugh and wrapped his arm around your waist more tightly, preventing you from falling. He tugged the fabric of his cape over your shoulders once again like back in the hallway and pulled you into his chest. “This is my girl. My wonderful girlfriend and the best stylist I know, besides Harry Lambert of course.”
“No way. No way!” Brittany gasped and reached for your hand, squeezing it between both of hers. “Are you telling me you’re dating this man I’ve been trying to get on my show for ages and you didn’t say anything?”
“Ladies and gentlemen, if you don’t know, this is our precious stylist, makes me look perfect in every video,” She turned to the camera to explain, still stunned from your appearance.
“Hello,” You waved shyly in one of the cameras.
“Woah, just… woah. I- Tell me, I have to know, how long have you been keeping this secret from us?” Brittany grinned and rested her chin in her hand, completely invested in the newly discovered topic, her prepared outline of the interview already thrown out of the window.
“Mhm it’s been two years now,” You admitted after Harry gave an encouraging squeeze to your hip to speak.
Brittany sunk herself back into the throne, completely on the verge of believing. Harry giggled at her reaction like a schoolboy and pressed a small smooch to your cheek, making Brittany run her fingers through her hair in distress.
“Harry!! That’s not what I had prepared for this video!” She huffed out and shook her head. “What- I- oh my god! Y’all are dating,”
“We do,” Harry nodded with a wide grin, “But to give you a better answer to your question, we had a really nice walk at the beach the other day. That was definitely one of those moments for me.”
Harry reluctantly let you go after a few moments, pouting when you stood up from his lap and got back to stand next to Harry Lambert so he could finish the interview.
The conversation got deeper from that moment, Brittany still shaken up from the news but maintaining her emotions and Harry resuming his little drawing as if nothing happened. He opened up about his time in Italy and his long break, sharing some details about your relationship too, reminding you of how you two met. He mentioned his friends and family, his deep love he had for his fans. There was something so mesmerising about seeing him open up like that.
“And with that, present us your shield!” Brittany pointed at Harry’s finished piece of art when the conversation subsided.
Harry started describing each of the quarters in detail. There was a disco ball referring to his album, a viaduct from back home in Holmes Chappel, some sort of orange sluggy fish, and two stick figures holding hands symbolising you and Harry, though you were sure even Harry’s little niece could do better than him at her age.
“Amazing, Lord Harry! Thank you.” Brittany and all the crew including you behind the cameras clapped after he finished his presentation and watched him sign it for her so she could keep it, and knowing her, put it up on the wall in her study.
“Lord Harry, it is my pleasure and privilege to induct you into my royal court.” She accepted a sword from her assistant and stood up in front of him. She stroked both of his shoulders with the flat of the sword, performing the formal knighting ritual. “I knight thee, Lord Harry, Elf and Disco Diva of the Realm.”
The interview ended soon after with Harry promoting his album and being taken away by Brittany’s guards. Everyone was laughing and chatting between each other when the camera’s stopped rolling, but Harry had his eyes only for you and without looking behind, he jostled to you through the small crowd and immediately wrapped you in his arms, pulling you up in the air.
“My lady,” He murmured with a wide grin all while pressing kisses all over your face, making you giggle and kick your legs. “Was it alright? Tell me it was alright.”
“It was perfect. Though next time give me at least a warning,” Your laugh spread through the room. You tightened your hold around Harry’s neck and slid one hand to cradle his stubble covered cheek. “But are you one hundred percent sure about it? Sharing us like that?”
“Never been more sure about anything,” He sealed his promise with a soft peck on your lips and slowly set you back down on your feet, his arms staying around your waist.
“Yeah?” You pressed, still feeling a little unsure about his big decision. The anxiety from before was almost gone now, knowing everything went smoothly, but you couldn’t help yourself but worry a little anyway.
“My little overthinker,” Harry stole another kiss, this time much longer. You felt his fingers run up and down your back in soothing motions, drawing shapes and lines in an attempt to make you relax. “I’m sure, sweetheart. The world deserves to know about what amazing, loving, caring, perfect girl is gonna be the fifth album!”

ALL MY LOVE AND TPWK, E
You weren’t sure what was wrong with you. Your body didn’t really feel like yours. There was this weird feeling in your bones, chewing on your muscles, running through your skin like electricity. Your eyes felt heavy but you knew it wasn’t from exhaustion. You felt the need to cry but somehow you couldn’t bring yourself to do so.
Sitting slumped in the chair in Harry’s study, you mindlessly turned pages in your book back and forth. Sentences blurred together and letters started looking like foreign symbols.
Harry was out running errands. He texted you that in the morning. Right after you made your relationship official, he gave you a key to his house so you could come over anytime you needed. You loved spending time there, his house was big, and Harry claimed you filled the lonely space perfectly. He used to beg you to stay the night almost every other day.
During your exam period, his study became your sanctuary and safe space. He let you lock yourself in and then had to bribe you with cookies and cuddles to take a break after you spent too many hours frying your brain. No matter the many differences between you, from significant age gap to different lifestyle, he cherished you proudly and was your rock exactly in situations like these.
You wrapped your fingers around the fabric of Harry’s hoodie you borrowed in his closet and tightly closed your fists, though the usually calming sensation of the softest cotton didn’t tell you anything. It rather felt like unnecessary weight that was holding you down.
You let out a tired sigh and tilt your head back, resting it against the leather seat. Your eyes fell shut and for once you appreciated the darkness enveloping you.
It wasn’t too long after when you heard the rustling of keys and the sound of the front door closing. Given the muffled sounds, you imagined how Harry was moving through the house. How he most surely threw his trench coat over the back of the couch and went to put away the groceries he bought. How he went to the bathroom to wash his hands and give his growing hair you trimmed a few months ago some shape. How his socks cladded feet thud softly against the stairs with every step, signalling he’s going upstairs.
“Oh baby! What did I do to deserve such a special visit?” You could hear the smile in Harry’s voice when he stepped in the room.
“Mhm hi,” You whispered and blinked your eyes open. Harry was already standing by your side, resting against the edge of the table, and watched you with thoughtful expression.
“Hey,” He murmured softly and reached out to tuck a messy curl behind your ear. “Studying? We’re still not over the exam period?”
The way he said we as if it was his thing too made your heart melt and you jutted your bottom lip out in reaction. Harry knew how rough the last semester was on you. He soothed many mental breakdowns and sleepless nights, fed you when you forget (many times), did skincare with you to make you feel better and took care of you like no one else ever did. And he didn’t mind doing a single bit. He loved to make his girl better.
“Uhuh,” You shook your head as ‘no’ and leaned into his touch on your cheek like a sleepy kitten craving pets. “One more,”
“How long have you been studying?”
“A few hours? I don’t really know, been here since morning,” You mumbled. The clock on the wall seemed to be too loud for your liking, but the small arrow pointed at the number twelve signalled it was noon already.
“And didn’t eat anything, right? Just drank coffee,” There was no point in lying. Harry saw the two big mugs on the desk, now empty but with stains from coffee. “Sweetheart, you know you can’t be running on empty. That’s not healthy for your body. And it won't help you with the studying either,”
“I was planning on grabbing something soon,” You protested with a quiet huff.
“Of course you were,” Harry chuckled but didn’t trust your words at all. He knew his girlfriend all too well at this point.
“I don’t know if I can do this,” You whispered and looked up at him, finally taking him in. He was dressed casually in a pair of beige linen shorts and black sweater, the sleeves now rolled up to his elbows, showing off his tattoos.
“What do you mean, baby?” Harry’s brows furrowed in confusion. He pulled away from the table and crouched down in front of you, turning your chair slightly to make you face him before he took your hands in his.
“I’m scared I won’t pass… What if- what if there won’t be any good questions? Or I forget everything?” A quiet sob, barely audible left your lips.
“Hey, hey. You will pass. You’re gonna nail the exam, I know that.” Harry cupped your cheek gently in his big palm and wiped away the first tear that was falling down.
“I feel so stupid,” You hiccuped.
“Oh love… Trust me when I say this, you’re the smartest girl I know. So strong, ambitious, my sweet girl,”
“‘M not,” You shook your head again as more tears fell down.
“Then I’m gonna remind you until you’re gonna believe it,” Harry gave you a supportive smile before patting your leg gently and slid his arm under your thighs. “Up you go,”
“Hey! What are you doing? I have to study!” You groaned. Your arms wrapped automatically around his neck in tight hold, as well as your legs around his waist and you let yourself be nursed wherever Harry pleased, the complete opposite of your protest.
“Taking care of my precious girlfriend,” Harry said as if he was talking about the weather. For him this was automatic. Taking care of you, loving you. He cherished these moments wholeheartedly, even when you were grumpy or a crying mess.
Harry made his way in the living room and sunk down in the plush pillows of the couch, pulling you comfortably in his lap. His warmth enveloped you immediately and you snuggled as close as possible.
“You’re taking a break, baby. No studying for another three more hours at least.” He rubbed your hips softly in the soothing motions that he knew could ease some tension and pressed a kiss to the corner of your mouth.
“We’re gonna get something nutritious and warm in your tummy,”
A kiss to your temple.
“Shower,”
A kiss to the tip of your nose.
“Maybe use the face masks you love so much? I think I still have some from the last time,”
A kiss to your cheek.
“There’s gonna be soooooo many cuddles,”
A kiss to your other cheek.
“And if you’ll be good, I will maybe, and I really mean maybe, revise with you everything you’ve been torturing your brain with today,”
A soft kiss to your lips.
“There’s no way I’m gonna talk you out of this, right?” You mumbled into the wool of his expensive sweater, your head tucked under his chin.
“Nope,”
“I feel weird,” You whispered. The foreign feeling wasn’t entirely gone, you still felt it thrumming through your body.
“How weird, angel? Can you describe it to me?” Harry’s fingers ran through your messy hair, parting the strands gently. He didn’t like the tone in your voice, it made him worry even more about you.
“I don’t know. It’s just so weird,” You started nervously, not sure how to describe something you didn’t have words for. “I feel like my body isn't mine. Feels numb and heavy. And I feel this weird tension too,”
“Mhmm this could be anxiety. No wonder you’re feeling like this, baby, you’re exhausted. Been stressing yourself over the exams so much,” Harry pulled his lips in a thin line and furrowed his brows. He didn’t like it. He hated seeing his girl in pain. Even if it didn’t hurt you physically. You looked as if a truck hit you. So small and miserable.
“I don’t like this,” You felt new tears pooling in your eyes.
“It will stop soon. I will take care of it. Of you. We’re gonna do all I said before, yeah? No stressing or studying,”
“I love you, Harry”
“I love you too, sweetheart. You’re gonna ace the exam, love. You’re my smart girl.”
It didn’t take him long before he moved into the kitchen, leaving you behind on the couch tucked under a fluffy blanket with your favourite TV series on and a chamomile tea coming your way right after to calm your system down. From your place, you had an amazing view at both the bright screen and Harry cooking. You heard sizzling from the stove and a quiet humming of the oven. The smell of chicken and fresh vegetables carried over into the living room and made your stomach grumble, making you realise how hungry you were.
“Love, it’s done,” Harry called from the kitchen while he was plating your lunches with the addition of potatoes.
You moved slowly to the dining table, putting one foot in front of the other felt suddenly like a hard task, your body felt heavy, as if you carried rocks on your back. With a quiet huff, you sank into the chair and give Harry a small grateful smile when he set the plate in front of you. The portion was significantly smaller than his, just a tiny bit of everything to get at least something in your stomach.
“Eat as much as you can, alright? No pressure,”
You didn’t talk much. Only the noises of clinking silverware were audible in the room.
Harry cleaned up everything after you were done with your food. Just a bit of potatoes was left on the porcelain plate. He put everything in the dishwasher and when he was happy with the state of his kitchen, he turned back to you.
“Would you like a shower, angel? It could ease some of the tension in these muscles,” He ran his hands over your arms and then gave them a soft squeeze to feel the tightness beneath the skin. “And then we could get the face mask,”
“Yeah, that sounds nice,” You nodded.
“C’mon” Harry slid his hands down to intertwine his fingers with yours and pulled you up on your feet.
The ensuite bathroom was big and bright. With two sinks and a corner tub you loved to relax in with Harry in the evenings, as well as a huge walk-in shower and more storage space than needed, though Harry always objected that the cabinets are just waiting for you to fill them with your things.
Harry undressed you slowly and with so much care as if you were made out of glass. First his hoodie that was swallowing you whole, then he slid the black skimpy shorts down your legs, kissing each thigh and knee in the process.
“You’re so pretty, baby,” He nuzzled his face in your stomach while he was crouching in front of you.
Your panties and bralette were gone soon and Harry followed the pattern of undressing right after.
“There we go, that feels good, hm?” He murmured in the crown of your hair, his arms wrapped tightly around your smaller frame, cradling you close to his chest, as the water cascaded down on the two of you in the walk in shower.
You whimpered but didn’t say anything, just nodded and buried your face deeper in him. He was right. The warm, almost hot water felt incredible on your skin.
“That’s it, just relax. I’ve got you,” He whispered sweet nothings in your ear and you felt his palms run up and down your back in soothing motions, adding just a little bit of pressure to undo the tight knots.
He massaged shampoo in your hair with focused precision until you had a head full of bubbles, dug his nails just lightly in your scalp. You moaned quietly at the feeling.
“This feels alright?” Harry murmured in your wet hair when they were washed and rubbed expensively smelling shower gel in the skin of your waist and back. His hands traveled slowly over each part of your body, memorising every curve and imperfection again
“Feels so good,” You breathed out against his skin. You were putty in his hands, melting with the water.
Harry wrapped you both in the fluffiest towels he owned when you both were washed and smelled like a mix of fruits, flowers and wood. He tapped your skin with another towel gently, wiping all the droplets that were falling down from your hair away.
“That is the cream we use after a shower, right?” He grinned at his need to check, showing you a yellow tube with french text. You used so many creams and lotions and he still wasn’t sure which had to come first and which last.
“Yeah, yeah, and then this one,” You reached for one small bottle out of many on the sink and handed it to him.
If there was one quality of yours that he loved more than the others, it was how much you cared about your body, or at least on the days when you weren't completely exhausted. He learned so many things about skincare from you and even when you weren’t around, he used all the creams you bought him in the morning and before bed. He even learned to use sunscreen regularly, especially after you teased him about the appearing wrinkles by his eyes, something he was always forgetting about before he met you.
“You haven't been using it much lately, have you? Your skin is a little bit dry,” He shook his head fondly as he rubbed the moisture in your skin with his fingertips.
“No,” You pouted.
“My silly girl. Not eating, not taking care of yourself, you’re lucky you have such a wonderful doting boyfriend like me,” He pecked your kiss when he was done with the second cream and cradled your face gently in his big warm palms.
You reached after the opened bottle and put a bit of the cream on your fingers before you smeared it on his forehead, nose and cheeks, carefully dragging your fingers around his moustache and beard.
“Trying to erase my wrinkles, love?” Harry chuckled.
“I like them, they make you look more mature.” You gave him a small smile, one of a few you could muster up today. “But you should use the creams anyway.”
Harry pulled you up in his arms again, one arm wrapped around your back, the other one under your knees, and walked with you in the bedroom, setting you down in the soft cotton sheets in beige colour. He rummaged through the drawers in his walk-in closet, looking for something comfortable for you. You had a good share of clothes in his wardrobe but he knew you preferred wearing articles of his instead. His oversized hoodie and a pair of boxers were enough for you.
“Stand up for me, angel?” He rubbed your shin gently while he was kneeling in front of you, still covered only by the towel loosely wrapped around his waist.
You did as you were told and let him slide his boxers up your legs until they were sitting securely on your hips. He pulled the old hoodie with cartoon characters at the front over your head next, covering your naked body and pressed another kiss to your lips.
Dressing himself in loose sweatpants and an old band shirt, Harry sat down next to you on the edge of the bed and wrapped his arms around your shoulders, pulling you closer until your head hit his chest.
“Do you want to lay down here or on the couch?” He murmured in your wet hair even though he knew the answer already.
“Bed,”
“Come on, let’s get you under covers,” The duvet was pulled away and you crawled on your usual spot on the left side of the bed first before Harry joined you, pulled the duvet over your bodies and wrapped his strong arms covered in ink around your small frame, cradling you close.
“Do you want to revise for the exam later? I could quiz you,” He offered softly. Some cooking show was playing quietly in the background, you didn't even notice him turning the TV on. He knew you didn't like complete silence and always had the TV on or played some music.
“No,” You sighed. You really wanted to. Read all your notes and answer all the hypothetical questions you could be asked during your exam. But you were tired. You’ve been studying for days at this point. Your mind and body were screaming for a break. And now laying in Harry’s bed, with him wrapped around you and peppering your face with soft kisses, you knew better.
“That’s a good girl, we’re just gonna rest for a bit. Close your eyes, love,”
“I love you, H. Thanks for taking care of me,”
"Always and forever,"

ALL MY LOVE AND TPWK, E
If someone had told you a year ago that you’d be in a relationship with a world-famous popstar, you’d laugh at them. Loudly, wheezing, trying to catch your breath, and possibly rolling on the floor. But love always appears in the least expected moments.
You’d been out of the university, trying to get a hang of the proper adult life, still unsure in your shoes, with so little experience and making more mistakes than you’d like. Drowning in the system of paying bills and taxes and being scared every time you had to call your doctor to make an appointment, you were happy you were somehow living. With many tried jobs and internships you could add to your CV, you’d always ended up on Instagram sharing your silly life, not really thinking someone would care enough to start following you.
There had been just glimpses of your life - what you ate, what you wore, what job application was declined, what jerks you went on dates with. But slowly it moved into little vlogs and more fun things. You wouldn’t dare to call yourself an influencer, though you had a share of people who were loyal to you.
And then, somewhere on the way you met Harry. In the most typical human aching and boring way because life couldn’t get less (more) exciting. You’d gone to get a coffee in your favourite cafe, the place that usually had more empty chairs than there were people and comfortable silence. But that time, the tables had to be full, the chairs taken, the air smelled of coffee more than usual, and the only free place was at the corner table you always went for.
“Is the seat taken?” You nodded towards the wooden chair with a flowery cushion that faced away from the cafe and instead at a handsome stranger with a face partly covered by his sunglasses.
“No it’s not. Feel free to join me,” He pointed kindly to the chair with open palm, inviting you to sit down with him.
The hustle of the cafe wrapped around you yet felt far away from the tucked away corner you’d found yourself in and life behind the window didn’t seem to want to stop even when you did.
“It’s quite busy here today,” You mumbled from behind the rim of your mug and immediately cringed at yourself. Your nose scrunched up and eyes closed in embarrassment. Why did you even start a small talk?
“Oh it is, innit?” He smiled widely at you when he heard you speak up to him and pushed his glasses up in his hair, finally revealing his face. “I’m Harry, by the way,”
You couldn’t help yourself but stare at him. He was handsome as hell, as if he jumped straight out of your fantasies, with brown hair that fought for curls at the nape of his neck and dimples that made your cheeks warm up. And his eyes? You felt like drowning in the forest green. You were sure you knew this face from somewhere, but you couldn’t quite put your finger on it.
He was dressed casually. In a pair of washed out blue jeans and a dark sweater its sleeves he had rolled up, he gave you a perfect show of his tattoos you felt like you could die for.
“You good? You look like you saw a ghost,” Harry laughed at your expression before he took a sip of his own hot drink.
“No, no, just…. you,” You blurted out with red cheeks.
And somehow this honest answer and your shy giddiness made Harry get your number within minutes and ask you out for dinner the day after. He felt crazy himself doing this, reckless, he didn’t even know you, but he very much trusted his gut feeling that told him there could be something good happening.
You went on dates every other day. Harry was on his break from his music career and had a lot of free time he was happy to fill up with moments with you.
He was unsure of bringing up the fame and lifestyle that came with his life in the conversation, especially since you didn’t recognise him at first and his life could be very demanding at times. You were a sweet pretty girl, just figuring everything out and he didn’t want to make it harder for you.
When he nervously mumbled “I’m a famous singer” at your second date, you only giggled at his shy admission and answered with a simple “I know. And I’m still not gonna change my mind about you”. It warmed his heart and made him fall for you probably even more.
Your relationship got into the public eye really quickly though, just about a month after you both became a boyfriend and a girlfriend.
Harry insisted on taking you on a vacation to Italy to celebrate the new job you landed. He was so proud of you. What he didn’t expect though was seeing pictures of the two of you holding hands after he grabbed his phone the first thing in the morning, with you still snuggled on his chest and the fresh morning air of Tuscany basking in through the open windows.
To his surprise, people took his new romantic relationship very well. He was really worried about how the public would take the fact that you were ten years younger than him. There was some hate, there always is, but many girls all over the web social media were supporting you and hyping you up for living their dream life. Because who wouldn’t want to have Harry Styles as their boyfriend?
Followers on your Instagram grew rapidly. People were better detectives than you were when you were searching up who Harry was later that day you met him in the cafe. You didn’t even bother making your profile private because people already knew who you were and you liked sharing content online.
And Harry supported your little hobby. He was your biggest fan. He liked and commented on everything, even though he was way out of place with his words. In the end, he was still a part of a different generation.
Your posts gained a large number of likes you couldn’t even imagine when you started posting and demanding comments for more of Harry. You gave your followers just glimpses at first. A photo of flowers Harry bought for you with his hand in the frame. A photo of your outfit in the reflection of a window with him in the background. A quick video of your breakfast where he shamelessly stole a toast from your plate and people could hear the quiet giggle if they focused on the sound.
But over time, there were posts where his face appeared, or his body, and people lost their minds. His fan accounts were full of the photos and you and Harry giggled together at the captions written in uppercase in the bed.
You were sitting at the kitchen island in Harry’s house, sipping on a coffee he put so much effort into making and even drew a little heart at the top with steamed milk. You spent more time at his place than your own, but neither of you minded it at all. His wardrobe was filled with your clothes and your toothbrush had its own place in the ensuite bathroom.
His house was closer to your workplace, and much bigger and nicer. It was easier to crash in your boyfriend’s bed than drive twenty more minutes to your apartment and spend the night alone.
Harry was over the moon about having you close most of the time. He hadn’t shared a bed with someone in ages so when you started sleeping over, getting out of the bed in the morning was the hardest task of the day for you because even in his sleep he didn’t want to let go of you.
He moved around the kitchen with ease. Dressed in just a pair of sweatpants that hung low on his hips and one of his graphic tees, he was fixing breakfast for the two of you. Sunlight shone through the curtains, hitting Harry’s profile just right, the smell of eggs and toast lingered in the air and a quiet tune of jazz echoed from the living room. Your favourite type of morning.
“Would you mind if I made a video right now?” You grinned at him.
When Harry was in the shower that morning, you spent some time scrolling on TikTok. An app that Harry claimed was “making your brain mushy and stealing his girl”. He still couldn’t understand how you could spend so many hours on your phone just mindlessly scrolling, but after some time he realised his protests did barely any job and got used to ‘sharing you’. He secretly watched the video with you when he couldn’t sleep, though he would never admit that to you. He had his face buried in your neck or chest but his eyes were open as he watched your thumb scroll.
Your for you page was full of a ‘current boyfriend’ trend, where people called their boyfriends like that and recorded their reaction. And knowing Harry had no idea what that was, you had to try.
“Sure, love. No problem. What kind of video?” He hummed as he stirred eggs in the pan and looked at you over his shoulder, catching the spark of mischief in your eyes immediately.
“Just some talking,” You shrugged innocently and hopped down from the barstool before padding closer to him to set your phone up. You tamed your messy hair in the camera's reflection and straightened up your (Harry’s) hoodie to look more presentable in case you were going to share it online. Harry was behind you, swaying his hips and humming to himself, right in the frame of the video.
“Good morning,” You started recording, quickly thinking about what to say next. You weren’t usually posting videos where you talked.
“I’m here with my current boyfriend,” Your voice wobbled as you tried not to laugh, especially when you caught Harry’s expression on the screen. “He’s making us breakfast right now,”
A spatula fell out of his grip on the stove with a loud thud and his mouth hung wide open in pure shock at your words. He stood there for a moment, motionless, his eyes ticking between you and your propped up phone before he walked up behind you.
“Your current boyfriend? Current? What does it mean, baby?” He grabbed you tightly by your hips and pulled you into his chest, looking down at you thanks to the big height difference, the rolling camera completely vanishing from his mind.
“Uh I mean, aren’t you my current boyfriend?” You mumbled quietly, biting your lip to stiffen the laugh, and leaned with your back into his chest. You had to tilt your head back to see his expression.
“I guess?” His brows furrowed as he thought about it. From that angle, he looked like a grumpy kitten. His fingers dug even deeper in your hips, pulling you impossibly close, before he looked back at your phone.
“Anyways… what I wanted to say-“ You pretended to continue in your video, but Harry cut you off with another thought of his own.
“Are you planning on having another boyfriend?” Harry turned you around in his arms to face you, his expression changing from confused to worried.
“No, no, of course not!”
“You know I’m learning all the neologisms for you, and drinking the green thing, and doing skincare! I’ve been very good at that lately, see?” He pouted at you, pointing with his index finger at his face where the results of the skincare you started doing together before bed were really showing off.
“Harry, it’s just a trend. Just a silly video. Saw it on TikTok today.” You couldn't stand it any longer. He looked really sad, scared you were gonna exchange him for someone else.
“Like a prank?”
“Yeah, like a prank. Sorry, I didn’t think you’d take it this seriously.” You cradled his face in your palms, your thumbs running over his cheeks in soothing circles.
“Don’t do this ever again,” He huffed, still obviously sulking.
“I won’t. I promise,”
Harry wrapped his tattooed arms around your smaller frame tightly, pulling you up in the air, squeezing you as much as possible without hurting you.
“I’m uninstalling this fiendish app from your phone right after breakfast, sweetheart. I’m serious.“
You laughed loudly. You kicked your feet, trying to get back on the floor, but Harry’s grip on you only tightened and he buried his face in your neck, pressing a soft kiss there because he just couldn’t help himself.
“Current boyfriend, future husband? Yes, definitely. But otherwise we’re having a serious conversation, my love.” He murmured when he set you down on the floor. His eyebrows were raised, as if this was a challenge.
“I like your version better,” Pulling him down by the collar of his shirt, you pressed a small kiss on the centre of his lips, leaving a big ‘mwuah’ sound behind, hoping this would get him smiling.
“Are you gonna post it?”
“I don’t know. Do you want me to?” You looked at your phone that was still recording.
“I mean my reaction was quite funny,” He said proudly with a small smile, as if he almost didn’t have a mental breakdown mere seconds ago.
“You looked like you were going to faint, I was seriously scared for a second,” You shook your head at him and reached for your device. Both of your faces were now in the frame, Harry kept holding you close and was pressing soft kisses everywhere his lips could reach. You really understood all the comments now.
“Post it, you little brat,”

ALL MY LOVE AND TPWK, E
“I read something today,” Harry announced proudly when he entered the living room. His hair was still wet from his shower and a towel hung around his neck, he padded across the room closer to you. He came home from lunch with his friends not so long ago, and given the heatwave going on outside, he was desperate to wash all the sweat away. You were really sensitive to smells lately, and he didn’t want to upset your nose even more.
“Oh no,” You whimpered dramatically, but soon a wide grin spread on your lips. You put your phone down to give your husband all your attention and sat up more upright against the pillows, one hand coming automatically up on your pregnant belly in a protective gesture.
You were 26 weeks pregnant with your first baby. Your belly was growing big and round, the skin stretched, and the first marks Harry loved to rub body oil all over before bed started to show. You had this ‘mama glow’ as Harry liked to call it.
After spending the first trimester throwing up almost every single morning and crying over everything, including the ads on the telly, you were glowing by the end of the second one. Happy, with a healthy baby and an overprotective husband.
“Mitch brought me a baby book,” Harry grinned and leaned down to press a soft kiss on your temple, cupping your cheek with his big palm before he stole another kiss from your lips.
“You’ve read like ten of these already!” Giggling, you slid your fingers in his hair, trying to give the short strands some shape. It wasn’t too long since you helped him cut it.
After you’d found out you’re having a baby, Harry’s been nose-deep in books, researching something every single day. When you left the doctor’s office, first ultrasound in hand, he was immediately downloading the app that tracks your pregnancy, barely able to fill out everything with how much his fingers shook from excitement.
He loved to update you about the baby. What size they were in comparison to fruits and which of their organs started to develop.
“And I’m planning on reading ten more,”
“What did you read now, H? Wait- what are you hiding?” Your brows furrowed when you noticed Harry had his left hand hidden behind his back, holding something.
“Baby’s hearing is developed between the 24th and 28th week,” He started and sank down on his knees by the couch, his free hand moving to join yours on your bump. “So we have to start training our little ones ears,”
“Harry,” You laughed loudly.
“How’s my boy? Is he good to our mommy?” Harry ignored your fit of laughter and instead leaned down to kiss the stretched skin on your stomach.
You were sure he cried more when you found out your baby’s gender than when you showed him the pregnancy test with two prominent lines. He was ecstatic about having a son.
“He is. Didn’t even disturb my nap with his little kicks,” You rubbed your bump happily, tugging the fabric of the oversized shirt you stole from Harry higher to give him better access.
The baby was kicking like crazy, especially when Harry was around and smothered you with rubs and kisses. You were actually pleased with having the whole morning and noon to yourself, getting some rest and peace without having a squished bladder.
Harry was by your side most of the time lately. His fourth album was just in the finishing phase, and he had more time to spoil his growing family rotten.
“Daddy’s good boy. Daddy loves you so much, peanut” As if on cue, the baby kicked, right into the place where Harry was moving his hand in gentle circles.
You propped yourself up on your forearms against the pillow and leaned slightly to the side to peek over his shoulder. “What’s with the headphones? Are you finally going to play me the album? Say yes! Say yes!”
When it came to the album, Harry was very secretive about it. He shared with you his thoughts and words during the songwriting process, but you’ve never heard the real sound of it, no matter how much you begged him. Nothing worked on him. No promises of long nights full of sex or his favourite dinner dish. He knew he would get that even without playing you the demos.
“I’m gonna play the album… to our baby boy,” He said with a straight face and put the headphones over your belly, arranging the ear pads and headband to make it comfortable for you with focused precision.
“What? He gets to hear it before me?!” You whimpered, your bottom lip jutting out in a pout that Harry immediately kissed away.
“We just started the 26th week, love. Our boy needs to know his daddy’s a big big singer from the very first second he can recognise his voice,” Harry murmured in the kiss.
He got up from his place on the floor, smiling like a fool, and with a quiet “scooch up” slid in between you and the couch cushions, cradling you close to his bare chest.
“This is the latest version,” He said softly, to himself, to the baby, as he scrolled through the files app on his phone before he came across a folder named ‘KATTDO’. A list of names you recognised very well because Harry mentioned them countless times unfolded in front of your eyes, and you watched his thumb hover over track one.
“This is ridiculous,” You shook your head in amusement at the sight of your bump with headphones.
“Sweetheart! I’m doing something very serious here,” Harry pouted like a small child that couldn’t have their toy and without any more discussions pressed play on the first track.
You both were lying there in silence, watching your stomach as if something miraculous should happen. You heard the clock ticking, it’s been a few minutes of quiet watchfulness for sure. Harry rubbed his palm over the exposed skin, thumbing lightly at your belly button, pressing gently around with his fingers to get a reaction from his son.
About twenty seconds in the second track, you felt a subtle movement inside. It wasn’t something big, something Harry could notice, but you felt your baby moving. It didn’t take long before a strong kick hit your lower tummy, just where Harry’s hand rested.
“He likes the track! He likes American Girls!” Harry gasped, making you snicker.
“How do you know he likes it? What if he’s kicking in protest?” You teased him, knowing it'd get a reaction out of him, and rested your hand over his before intertwining your fingers.
“How can you say this? That’s so rude! You haven’t even heard the track! He likes it, I just know that,” He said, the pout reappearing on his lips. You loved seeing him this giddy and smiley, with so much confidence in himself and love for your baby. Eventually he nuzzled his head in under your chin, his hair still lightly wet, tickling, but he didn’t seem to really care, as he focused his eyes on your bump.
“Daddy’s boy, of course,” You chuckled.
Suddenly another kick stretched the skin of your stomach, still while the second track was playing, and you heard Harry gasp again.
“Are we really just gonna watch my stomach for what? An hour?”
“42 minutes. But go ahead, sweetheart, don't be bothered by me and go scroll on your phone. I have my own fun right here,” Harry huffed, and to prove his point, he gave your bump a little squeeze.
Every other minute, you felt your baby move or kick, followed by a whimper, a gasp, or an excited giggle from Harry, as well as a commentary of the current song playing that didn’t tell you much anyway.
“So far Ready, Steady, Go! seems like a favourite one!”
“Are You Listening Yet? Oh he’s definitely listening.”
“Look! He’s having a bloody party in your tummy! Pop is also his favourite!”
“Do you feel the kicks? Of course you do! So many! He’s an active one,”
“He recognises his heartbeat! I knew he’s gonna kick the most to Carla’s Song.”
“So what’s the baby verdict then?” You asked him with a smile when he pulled the headphones away from your stomach and massaged the spots where the ear pads sat for the last 45 minutes.
“That you’re gonna love it. And he as well,”

ALL MY LOVE, E
You knew that dating Harry also meant dating the little girl who came with him. Ema. A three-year-old copy of her father, with the same piercing green eyes, chubby cheeks, and a head full of messy chestnut curls. Overflowing with stubborn frowns and quiet watchfulness, she made you feel like you were being tested from the moment you met her. And honestly? You couldn’t really blame her. If you could, you’d try to keep Harry only to yourself too.
Harry was fiercely protective over his daughter, his little treasure, as he called her, along with a million other nicknames that made your heart skip a beat every time.
You didn’t know much about her mother. He had only mentioned her briefly, once or twice, and not wanting to pry, you let it slide. After all, it wasn’t your place to ask. Maybe in time.
When Ema happened, Harry hadn’t been ready for fatherhood. He thought kids would come at least 5 years later, maybe more, not at the age of 30. His whole life was work and business, not babies. Some days he still felt like a teenager himself! Life had thrown a lot at him early on, but he took it all, even if it meant shedding a few tears along the way. And yet, he couldn’t have been happier. His little sunshine turned his mostly stereotypical life upside down. Turned him upside down.
Gone were the nights of wine, replaced with baby formula, 70s rock music changed into lullabies, nonfiction books were swapped for picture books and his polished suits got shoved in the back of the wardrobe in favour of plain shirts (that he had to change multiples times a day anyway, because he and his daughter were messy people).
At first, Harry stayed at home with his little girl until she was old enough for kindergarten. He was wealthy enough to afford this luxury, choosing to watch Ema grow every day. But he was a businessman at heart, and even on paternity leave, he couldn’t help himself. A contract here, a quick visit to his office there, until his assistant had to kick him out after “just a few minutes” turned into an hour, with Ema playing between stacks of important documents.
After Ema celebrated her third birthday and started visiting kindergarten more regularly, without any fussing in the mornings and sleeping for the whole time after lunch, Harry started feeling the creeping of loneliness. He knew Ema needed to play with other kids and socialize, to learn and experience things on her own without his helping hand. But it didn’t stop him from missing her terribly and squeezing her little body tightly in his arms each time he came to pick her up after work. ”You’re silly, daddy!” She laughed loudly every time.
One interview for a world-famous magazine about Harry’s huge impact was at the start of you and him. Three hours of talking turned into exchanged numbers and whispered promises of a date, filled just the night after. Who would have thought that a journalist with an ordinary life could mesmerise a successful man who could’ve had any other woman?
The bond of trust between you two formed almost instantly. He was consumed by you. One look and he was a goner. There was no need to put an effort in perfect makeup and flawless curls, he had already fallen in love with you on day one. The girl with a big coffee stain on her shirt, hair messier than a bird’s nest and not even a hint of mascara because she’d been running late.
Harry was desperate for your first date. That much was certain. There was something so beautiful about you, something he couldn’t quite put his finger on, that he had to discover, to claim. He wanted you so badly, his heart ached with it. He made a reservation at the finest restaurant in the city, making sure it would be just the two of you in the whole place. He brought you a huge bouquet of flowers, with a small note ’their beauty smells like you’. He remembered the afternoon you were leaving his office and he smelled your perfume as he kissed your cheek goodbye and your sweet flowery scent hit him hard.
No other woman had caught him the way you did. And oh boy, he was all in. He tossed aside every rational thought that should’ve held him back for his sake and Ema’s. Because the thought of life without you in the picture felt impossible. He didn’t want to flip through photo albums years from now and not see your pretty face there. Call him crazy, but he was determined to have you. He needed you.
Your smile lit up the whole room, even during the inner storm. The effortless elegance that seemed to follow you everywhere you went, the kindness that felt almost unreal every time you spoke. It was all too much. You were it for him. And he didn't even need to know you, because somehow, he already did. Maybe it was the absence of woman's presence, the hormones messing with him, or the longing for love, for giving Ema a mother figure, and himself a wife. But in the end, did it really matter what the reason was? He knew he wanted you, and that was enough.
By the second date, you understood how delicate the relationship you were in the process of building was. It was also the first time Harry told you about Ema, because in his words, “I didn’t want to scare you off, you are too precious to lose”. And it made you fall for him even harder. He treated you like a goddess you in his eyes were. All soft touches and sweet words, he could never settle for less.
After you started seeing each other more regularly, he became truly obsessed with you. His generosity was intensive as if he was trying to fill every corner of your life with reminders of him. A surprise delivery of flowers here, perfumes there, a lovely set of lingerie in the burgundy colour you mentioned just once in front of him delivered right to your apartment.
When you made your relationship official, he bought you the golden necklace you eyed for so long in the small jewellery shop near your block, and made you cry so hard for the first time in front of him.
“I swear you are crazy, Harry,” You sobbed into his suit-covered shoulder, staining it slightly with your tears mixed with mascara.
“Only crazy for my girl,” Harry murmured softly as he kissed your hair, making you cry even more in response. You’ve never felt this loved before.
Yet after all this time, you still hadn’t met the reason of his restless nights, the bright mornings and toys he nursed in his leather briefcase to work. You knew Ema only from photos he shared with you and all the stories that made him smile widely every time he talked about her.
One evening, when he invited you to stay for a night, you finally decided to ask him the question that’s been gnawing on your mind for a while. “Does Ema know about me?”
She was staying with his sister Gemma for the weekend so he could have some alone time with you that wasn't just a few hours per week you usually found on each other given your busy jobs and Harry’s family situation.
The question came unexpectedly. You were snuggled on the big velvet couch under the shield of a fuzzy blanket in each other’s arms, a romantic comedy playing on the TV, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
Harry, caught mid-sip of his red wine, froze. “I umh… well, I’ve mentioned you a few times. I’ve shown her your pictures, tried to hint at us. But you know how she is…”
Ema was daddy’s girl. And he belonged to her only. He was her sun, her moon, and the only person allowed to tie her shoes. She was a little girl. She didn’t understand the world yet, but the idea of sharing Harry’s lap, hugs, or his attention with another woman was a foreign concept he feared would end in a heartbreak.
“You know I respect your boundaries as a parent, Harry. I do,” You sat up straighter next to him, pulling away from the warmth of his chest to look him in the eye. “But shouldn’t she know about me? We’ve been dating for 6 months,”
“I know. I know, baby. She should know.” Harry sighed and tightened his grip around your waist, pulling you back in his side immediately. Your closeness comforted him in a way he couldn’t explain and he buried his face in the crook of your neck to soothe his nerves. “I’m gonna tell her. I promise. I need you in our lives.”
The soft peck on your lips that followed made you blush as well as his words. At this point, you were used to his heartfelt confessions and affectionate touches but it always brought flush to your cheeks and made butterflies fly wildly in your stomach.
But not everything went as Harry planned. It went completely the other way. He wanted to ease Ema into the big change slowly. Having another person around was a serious thing he didn’t want to take lightly. But his job made it’s significant presence in the worst moment.
Harry was in his office, the skyline of London sprawling behind the floor to ceiling windows. He was packing his briefcase, done for the day. A small smile played on his lips as he thought about his daughter he was about to pick up from the kindergarten, excited to see her again, when his assistant, Veronica, stormed in the room.
“Patrick Stevenson is here!” She panted, her knuckles white as she gripped the doorframe.
The echo of the name made Harry stop in his tracks. Stevenson was a businessman of similar power as Harry’s. He was a titan, not really a rival but a best friend neither. His signature on a contract could mean the best deal of the century as well as an amazing partnership between the two men. Harry had been chasing this meeting for months.
“What? But he didn’t have a scheduled meeting, did he?” Harry slowly set a stack of documents back down on the wooden table, sparing Veronica a confused look.
“No, no, came unannounced. He’s waiting in the conference room right now.” Veronica shook her head a few times and stepped further into Harry’s office, closing the door behind her so no one could overhear them.
“Fuck but I have to pick up Ema! The kindergarten closes in- 30 minutes…” He sighed when he noticed the little hand on the clock by the door slowly reaching number four and ran a hand over his face in frustration. He promised Ema to be on time since she was staying there longer than usual and he knew too well how his little girl was. All pouts and hiccups when she missed him a little bit more.
“I could pick her-” Veronica started, but Harry’s sharp voice cut her off before she could even finish a thought. He hated prioritizing work over his daughter.
“No, I need you here with me. I- just give me five minutes, okay? Go get him water, or wine, or whatever he wants…” He waved at her dismissively and waited until she disappeared before he picked up his phone, his fingers flying quickly across the screen. His mom lived three hours away, there was no way she could pick Ema up, and his sister had a swimming lesson with her daughter. There was only one last option.
“Hey, baby, are you free right now? It's an emergency,” Harry rushed out as he paced around his office anxiously, the rhythmic thud of his polished shoes echoing in the otherwise quiet room.
“Harry, what’s going on? Is everything okay? Is Ema alright?” The worry in your voice clear as day, making Harry’s chest tighten with guilt.
“We’re okay. Sort of. You remember the Stevenson guy I was talking about the other day? He just appeared here. For a meeting. And you know how good this deal could be for us but- I can’t pick up Ema from kindergarten.” He sunk into the leather chair, rubbing a hand over his stubbled cheeks in distress.
“Oh I can pick her up. It’s no problem. She knows how I look right? I don’t want her to panic or something,” You sprung from your chair so fast you almost tripped over your feet and threw a hoodie on. Ema’s kindergarten wasn’t far away from your apartment and Harry’s office. You walked around the place often even before you started dating Harry, always admiring the garden and playgrounds.
“Yeah, yeah, don’t worry. She knows you’re my girl,” Harry let out a sigh, a mixture of relief and sadness swirling in his gut, “I’m sorry this is how you’re gonna meet her, I really wanted it to be more special, not rushed and hectic,”
“It’s not your fault, Harry,” You murmured in the reassuring tone that always got to Harry, soothing every single worry that was left in his head and tension in his body, “I’m happy I can help. Now go make the deal, yeah? I’ve got her,”
“Yeah,” He laughed quietly at the encouragement, “Come to mine office after you pick her up. I know I’m saying this all the time, but you’re an angel, my love. Thank you,”
It didn’t take you long before you were standing in the doorway of Ema’s kindergarten. The building looked like it was made in the last century, but was freshly renovated. You were surprised Ema wasn’t in the top-notch place with a silver spoon in her mouth but rather normal surroundings. Ema’s education was really important to Harry and just because he had the privilege of a wealthy life, he didn’t want to raise a spoiled brat. He wanted her grounded, not crying every time she didn’t get everything she wanted.
“Hello, I’m here for Ema Styles,” You smiled brightly at the teacher. She looked about the same age as you, and she greeted you excitedly.
“Oh yes! Mr. Styles called ahead. Ema is already waiting on you!” She pointed at the small table where she was sitting, clutching a crayon in her small fist, finishing her drawing. “ Ema your- you can go home finally!”
The call of her name got Ema’s attention and she looked up from the paper, her pigtails bobbing slightly when she looked up at you. Her expression was blank, her green eyes unreadable. She didn’t smile or cry. Without saying anything, she got up and started getting dressed all by herself.
“Hello,” She said to you quietly when you stepped out onto the London pavement. She had a purple sweater on, partially hiding her light pink dress, and pink ballet flats, the picture she drew in her hand. Harry loved to dress her up like a proper princess. “Made this for daddy,”
“That’s beautiful, Em! Daddy’s gonna love it. Puts it in a frame and on a wall for sure!” You crouched down to her eye level and looked at the paper. The drawing was a chaotic mess of lines and circles in bright colours, but you could make out two stick figures holding hands, resembling the picture of her and Harry.
You walked mostly in silence to Harry’s office. You tried to have a conversation with her, asked her various questions from “What did you have for lunch?” to “What is your favourite animal?” but her answers were short, barely any. It’s been ages since you took care of a child. You couldn’t mess this up!
The skyscraper where Harry’s office was stood right in front of you just over the street, it’s top hidden somewhere between the clouds. “C’mon Ema, we’re almost here!” You took her small hand in yours when you reached the crosswalk, the evening rush hour at its peak.
But Ema didn’t like this. In the split of a second she pulled at your hand and bit down on the flesh of your wrist.
“Ema! Ouch!” You gasped, pulling your hand away to check the mark. The half moons of her teeth cut deep in your skin, some of them drawing blood. Ema didn't look sorry at all. She looked defiant, her lower lip trembling as she clutched her drawing tighter.
You didn’t dare to scold her, nor touch her. Your hand throbbed in pain for the rest of the walk and the ride in the elevator, a painful reminder of her territorial love for her father.
“There are my girls!” Harry walked in his office with a wide, yet slightly tired smile about an hour later, his tie loosened at the collar. You were sitting in the leather armchair that was probably more expensive than your whole kitchen, watching Ema play on the couch with the toys she had there.
“Daddy!” She shrieked, running into his open arms. Harry caught her mid-air, spinning her around as she erupted into peals of delighted laughter. The cold, silent child from the walk was gone, replaced by a radiant, giggly girl.
“Hey, my darling,” He murmured, kissing her forehead before walking over to you. He tucked Ema under one arm and used the other to pull you into a brief but firm kiss. “Thank you so much, baby... Was she a good girl?”
“Mhm, yeah she was,” You lied at his question and tugged at the sleeve of your hoodie to hide the mark Ema imprinted on you from Harry, forcing a small smile instead. “I should probably get going, though. I still have to finish some articles and umh, I can see someone missed you a lot,”
“You don’t want to grab dinner with us? I wanted to celebrate the deal with both of you!” Harry pouted at you, his thumb grazing your cheek. He could see you weren’t completely at ease, but he didn’t want to push it. After the few months of dating, he knew your body language like the back of his hand as well as every sign of your uneasiness.
“Would love to, but I really can’t. Call me later?” You got up on your feet and gently rubbed his arm, hoping he would let it go.
“Okay,… text me when you get home then,” He pulled you in another kiss that lasted just a few moments before Ema decided to disturb you with an insistent tugs at Harry’s shirt, clearly wanting attention again, making you pull away with a sad smile.
Not having sex with Harry was torturing yet a respectful and delicate thing at the same time. Even though he was head over heels for you, he was taking this part of your relationship very seriously, though his hands and eyes slipped more than once. During your steamy makeouts, he gripped on your waist a little more tightly, or even let his hands wander underneath your shirt. When you were straddling his lap, he buckled his hips to meet yours, creating some friction. And a few times he even gripped on your breasts, which made you giggle. He loved to mark your skin, dig his fingers in your flesh, cling to you until you had to pull him off. You didn’t have many chances to do something more, but when you did, it had you ruined.
It took Harry many relentless attempts before you finally found the courage and agreed on staying over again, for the first time with Ema under the same roof, especially after her angry bite he still didn’t know about. He bought the excuse within the first second and smothered your hand in soothing kisses, living in the reality your friend’s dog attacked you.
You had a ‘family’ dinner first. Harry was the one who talked most of the time but neither of you seemed to mind. He was in his element. He told animated stories about his work, adjusted just slightly so Ema could understand it too, and enjoyed spending the evening with people he loved the most.
After that, Harry was quick to usher Ema in bed. He didn’t want to neglect her but he was so excited about you he couldn’t contain himself. He pulled her dress over her head quickly, making her curls bounce around her face as he searched for her pyjamas with unicorns.
“Daddy,” She squirmed in her bed from the sudden cold and wrapped her arms around her body to warm herself.
“I’m coming, sweetheart! Adorable unicorns for an adorable girl!” He huffed out a laugh and kneeled back in front of her on the floor, helping her dress up. He knew all too well she was clever to do it all herself but he wanted to save some time.
“Read me?” She pouted when he tugged the little pair of leggings on her wiggly legs and smoothed the wrinkled fabric with his palm.
“A story?” He let out a sigh, but smiled immediately, not wanting to look annoyed with her.
“Mhm. From grandma,” Ema crawled over her bed to hand Harry the book her grandma, Anne, wrote. She fell in love with it immediately after Anne read it to her for the first time, and ever since then Ema demanded it from Harry.
“Okay, but just one chapter, yes?” Harry took the book from her and ran the back of his hand over her cheek. “Now get under the covers, bug, so I can start,”
To Harry’s luck, she was out like a light by the third page and with a good night kiss to her forehead and a whisper of “I love you”, he turned the moon shaped lamp on her bedside table off and closed the door of her room with a quiet thud.
You were just getting out of the ensuite bathroom, your body wrapped in a fuzzy towel Harry got warmed up on the radiator for you, steam followed you out of the door as you patted your hair dry.
The shelves in the shower were full of fancy sounding bottles bought just for you to make you feel at home, or like a princess given the expensive brands from Dior to other French and Italian names you've never heard before and could only dream about with your paycheque. In Harry’s eyes, it was the bare minute he could do for you.
Your body smelled like orange blossom, creamy vanilla and cedar. A mix you found made Harry feral.
Suddenly a solid weight pressed against you from behind, strong tattooed arms sneaked around your middle and held you in a firm grip against his chest. “Did you have a nice shower, love?”
“Mhm” You hummed with a soft smile he couldn’t see, and slowly turned around in his arms so you could see him. “Really nice,”
“You used the body wash I bought you, didn’t ya? You smell,” Harry buried his nose in the crook of your neck and took a long whiff, basking in the smell of your freshly washed body. “Divine. Delicious even. So good for me.”
You giggled and wrapped your arms around his neck, holding him close as he pulled you up in the air, making you squeal and kick your legs. “Harry! Ema is right down the hall!”
“So responsible,” He moaned in your skin and set you down on the king sized bed, his body hovering over yours in no time, his knees parting your legs. He trailed kisses all over your neck and jaw before he settled on your lips, kissing you deeply.
“Yeah, that’s why you should keep little Harry in your oh-“ You whimpered in his mouth when you felt his bulge press against your thigh, excitement obviously proud in his sweatpants.
“Baby,” Harry huffed like a child that couldn’t have his lolly and tightened his grip around your waist in protest, not wanting to let you go, preferably ever. “Please. We’ll just have to be quiet,”
“What’s got into you?” You grinned at his eagerness. You’ve never seen him this giddy. His fingers shook and little moans escaped his lips with every grind of his hips against yours. You cupped his cheeks with your hands, the stubble stung your palms pleasingly as you turned his head to look at you.
“I don’t know. You- you just smell so nice! And I’ve been thinking a lot about this, us, and we’ve been together for so long… I want to move our relationship on another level,” Harry murmured, his voice taking on almost a shy tone.
You haven’t done more than cunnilingus, fingering or blowjobs. Harry was very strict about sex. He knew the birth controls nowadays were very effective and with minimal chances of getting pregnant, but he needed the assurance of your relationship. It was a living hell for him and his cock, he couldn’t count the number of times he jerked off to the images of you, but he didn’t want to risk unplanned pregnancy too.
“Yeah?” Your cheeks turned red at his confession, “Are you sure? You know I don’t mind doing just the other things, we don’t have to have sex,”
“No, no, no,” He shook his head abruptly and covered your hand on his cheeks with his own, keeping it in its place. “I want to make love to you,”
You leaned forward and pecked the corner of his mouth softly before focusing on the centre of his lips and kissed him deeply, trying to communicate the love and care your heart held for him.
“Is that a yes?” He nuzzled his nose in your cheek and pressed a few kisses behind.
“But we really have to be quiet. I don’t want to traumatise Ema on our first time,” Your hands slowly moved over his broad chest and under the hem of his worn out shirt, tracing his abs with your pointer finger before you tugged his shirt over his head and threw it somewhere on the floor..
“I’m so lucky,” Harry sat down on his shins only to take a look at you sprawled underneath him, your body hidden just under the fuzzy material of the towel. “Such a beautiful girl and all mine,”
He toyed with the edge of the towel before tugging at it lightly, unwrapping you like a gift on a Christmas Day. Your nipples perked up at the hit of cold air, goosebumps appearing on your skin immediately.
“Oh and look at those tits,” Harry groaned and dived in without even checking with you. He needed his mouth on your skin like oxygen for breathing. He wrapped his lips around your nipple and started sucking as he palmed on your other breast.
You wrapped your legs around his middle, digging your heels in his lower back, keeping him as close as possible. Your back arched from the mattress at the feeling of his tongue on your sensitive bud and you let out a quiet moan.
“Daddy?” The small, tiny voice from the doorway was like a bucket of ice water.
“Fuck,” Harry cursed under his breath and rested his forehead against your shoulder to contain himself.
He was so excited about spending the night with you in a new way. Not just with his head between your legs, but also with his cock filling you up to the brim. It’s been more than three years since he had sex.
You scrambled up under Harry and immediately wrapped the towel back around your body, your face flaming hot, as you hid yourself from the innocent eyes of the little girl.
“Hey, bug. What’s wrong?” He sighed and pulled away from you when he was sure you were decently covered.
“Can’t sleep,” Ema stuck out her bottom lip, pouting at Harry with the biggest puppy eyes you’ve ever seen. It wasn’t something new for her. She had a few sleepless nights and craved the warmth and comfort of her dad from time to time. Just like tonight.
“Oh baby,” Harry stood up from the bed and obtrusively tugged at the fabric of his sweatpants around his crotch, trying to hide the tent a group of scouts could camp under, before he crouched in front of her.
You used this moment to change into something and took Harry’s discarded shirt from the floor and put it on, accompanying it with a pair of fresh panties.
The steamy night was officially over. You didn’t mind Ema staying with the two of you. At the end of the day she was still Harry’s daughter and the most important little human, but deep down you feared her, as if you had to be on your toes any time you were in her presence.
“Get in the bed then, you can sleep with us tonight, yeah?” He encouraged her softly with a gentle rub on her shoulder and stood back up, making his way to you.
“I’m sorry, sweetheart. I will make it up to you. A weekend, just the two of us, this little monster at my mum’s or sister’s,” Harry pecked your lips, his hands cradling your face gently. “Now get in the bed too so we can cuddle,”
You moved to the edge of the mattress to give her space, letting Ema take up the whole middle Ema, but she didn’t want your generosity. As she climbed in, her small foot lashed out, a deliberate, sharp kick landing right in your stomach, making you cry out in pain.
“Oi, little girl! What was that?!” Harry’s voice raised to the tone you only heard him use in work, but never with his daughter. He rounded the bed quickly, his expression stern.
“We don’t kick other’s, it could really hurt them. This wasn’t nice from you. And here I was thinking you could get extra cuddles tonight, but I’m not really sure you deserve them now when I saw this.” He shook his head disapprovingly and rested his hand gently on her back.
“Sorry, daddy,” Ema whispered, her gaze dropping to her lap.
“No, sweets. Don’t be sorry to me. Why did you do that?” Harry brushed a few messy locks from his daughter’s forehead as he held her close to his side with his free hand. He had a frown on his lips and his brows were furrowed, a clear disappointment by what his daughter did to you was written all over his face. Ema never acted like this. She was always a sweet and kind girl, just like Harry raised her. This behaviour didn't make any sense to him.
Ema only shook her head in an answer and wrapped her chubby arms around Harry’s torso, burying her face in his bare chest. He looked up from his daughter back at you with confused expression, not really sure how to deal with the situation on his hands, and only subconsciously tightened his grip around her small tired body and pressed her closer in his side in an attempt to soothe both of them.
“Remember what we said, darling? That we treat each other with kindness and respect? If you don’t want to talk about it right now, okay, it’s past your bedtime anyway... But we are gonna have a big talk tomorrow. I won’t let this slide. Can we agree on that, sweetheart?”
You watched Harry handle this unusual situation with grace and calm mind, his patience not flinching at all, not even for a split of a second. And you slowly started to realise that maybe you were the cause of Ema’s behaviour.
Every single bone in your body screamed ’leave!’ at you. You were stuck in your thoughts and Harry’s bed, unable to do anything. Staying made you feel bad because of Ema but leaving would hurt Harry.
In no time, Ema’s body grew limp against him and quiet snores were escaping her lips, signalling she was soundly asleep again. You watched the situation that normally made you coo with a heavy heart, knowing this all was your fault.
“I have a hard on,” Harry mouthed when he was sure his daughter was out like a light, and stuck his bottom lip out enough to pout at you.
The corners of your mouth quirked up slightly at the reassuring revelation that Harry wasn’t mad at you, but the clear opposite. You let out a quiet chuckle at the irony and looked down in your lap, your cheeks turning a tint red.
“Come here,” He laid back in the silky pillows with Ema half sprawled over his bare chest and made a grabby hand, pulling you in his free side. His strong tattooed arm sneaked around your shoulders and cradled you close to him, his lips found the crown of your head and pressed a kiss there. He could tell you were a little thrown off by Ema and wanted to soothe your worries. “I’m so sorry, baby”
“It’s okay,” You let out a long sigh and nuzzled in the croak of his neck, hiding under his chin. You still felt a shooting pain in your stomach, sure there would be a big bruise, but tried to overcome it. You had a perfect view on Ema, her face lacking the anger and envy she held against you a few minutes ago. It almost made you tear up. You wanted this little girl to love you just as much as you already loved her.
“It is not okay. She can’t hurt my girlfriend. That is forbidden in my book.” Harry huffed. It was obvious in his tone how upset he was, even though he tried to hide it for both yours and Ema’s sake.
“I swear she’d never kicked anyone. She’s always been a good girl.” He added, now much more quietly, as if he had to convince you.
“I’m not mad at her, Harry,” You mumbled against the skin of his neck in reassurance, but maybe the words were meant more for you than him.
“She’ll come around, I promise…” The words were determined, but you could hear a hint of uncertainty somewhere between the syllables. Harry took your hand in his gently, your fingers soft against his rough ones, and covered Ema’s curled fist that’s been resting in the middle of his chest with it. “She’s gonna love you before we both know it.”
The talk came right after breakfast. You were planning on leaving as soon as you could after opening your eyes, not wanting to make Ema even more upset, but Harry insisted on your presence and the apology Ema had to give you.
“So,” Harry started after all tummies were full and the dishes were cleaned up. “What are you gonna tell me about last night, Ema?”
The three of you were sitting together in the living room on an L-shaped couch, you by Harry’s side, his grip around your waist tight enough to prevent you from pulling away, and Ema across from you. This was the first time Harry had to have such a talk with his daughter. His hands were sweating a bit and his knee was shaking as he was thinking about how to approach this situation.
“I’m sorry, daddy,” She mumbled with a quiet sigh and looked down at Mr. Snuggles, her plush bunny you gave her, in her lap.
“Sweetheart,” He tutted at her apology, “Why did you kick her? You know this isn’t nice. I’m very disappointed.”
Ema stayed quiet, her gaze focused only on her bunny, not daring to look up and show her tears filled eyes. Harry didn’t pressure her to talk, he knew he had to give her little mind some space.
“You like her more,” Ema whispered finally.
The quiet confession broke Harry’s heart. He knew jealousy could play a part here, but not in that significant amount.
“Ema…” Harry murmured her name sadly, his arm tightening subconsciously around you at the revelation. “I love you both so much, and you both make me so damn happy, bug. And it doesn’t mean I love one of you more or less.”
You watched the quiet exchange with bated breath and guilt creeping up your back. The last thing you wanted was to have Ema feel like this about you.
“Come closer, gimme a snuggle, darling,” He reached out his free hand to her and patiently waited until she crawled over and hid in his chest.
“I want her to live with us someday, be a proper family,” Both of yours and Ema’s eyebrows shoot up in surprise at Harry’s words, not expecting this in the slightest, but he didn’t seem to care or notice and only cradled Ema closer. “Wouldn’t you want that too? Be a big happy family?”
“Like Olivia’s family?”
“Yeah,” Harry let out a small laugh at her question about her friend from kindergarten she spent a few afternoons with, “We could have a mommy too, you know, like Olivia has,”
“Do you love me, daddy?” She asked in a small voice, her lips quivering with tears she was trying to fight.
“I love you so so so so so much, Ema. You’re my sweet girl, my little treasure,” He murmured in her curls, still untamed and messy just like his own. “Remember this, okay? I’m gonna love you forever,”
“Does she love me?” Ema peeked up at you. Her eyes were glassy and lips dropped in the most heart breaking pout that would make you give this girl the whole world. Harry followed her gaze and turned his head himself, watching you with a hopeful expression.
“I love you too, Ema.” You said softly, as if a louder tone could startle her, and hesitantly reached up to cup her cheek. “I don’t want to make you sad, sweetheart. And I don’t want to take your daddy from you. But he makes me happy too, just like you. Maybe we could share him?”
The almost silly offer lingered in the air filled with nothing but quiet sighs and your breathing for a few moments. Harry’s eyes were moving between you and his daughter as if he was watching a tennis match, not wanting to miss a single emotion and reaction from either of you. And then finally, Ema nodded.
“Okay,” She took the peace offering with a small nod and covered your hand with her smaller one on her cheek.
“One more thing Ems,” Harry gave her little body a squeeze. The main point of this conversation still unfulfilled.
“I am sorry for kicking you,” Ema whispered with a sad pout.
“Thank you, Ema. I forgive you.” You said and ran your fingers through her hair, tugging a loose strand behind her ear.
Harry’s heart was full. Seeing his two girls finally getting along made him tear up. He pressed a kiss on Ema’s cheek first before he kissed you softly on your lips. “My girls. I’m so damn happy,”

ALL MY LOVE AND TPWK, E
The university was a living chaos. Loud conversations and crowded hallways made you shrink in yourself as you pushed your way through into the library. A place where every sound turned into silence and an oasis of calm.
Stopping by the printer in a hidden corner, you set your heavy bag down by your feet with a sigh and after swiping your student ID, you pressed a few buttons on the machine to make it do its job.
Your paper was due today and you needed one more copy of it. You’d print it back at home but Harry was his distracting self as usual and made you forget about it completely.
“Oh fuck no- no no no, it cant be broken right now,” You cursed under your breath and swiped your card one more time, naively thinking it’d help.
“Everything alright?” A deep male voice said from behind you, making you jump in shock.
“No- uh I think the printer just broke and i need to print out my paper,” You explained with annoyed huff and turned around to see the mysterious guy.
Tall, maybe even a tiny bit taller than Harry, with chestnut curls and bright smile, he stood there dressed in a simple white button up with a few buttons undone, showing off his silver necklace, and a pair of black jeans.
He looked nice. Handsome.
“Oh she’s a tricky one,” He murmured with mock sympathy and stepped closer, crowding your space just enough to give you a whiff of his cologne, looking over your shoulder at the broken machine. “She likes to go on strike whenever she senses your deadline is due soon.”
He was funny. And god how good he smelled.
“Great,” You rolled your eyes at his explanation but the corner of your mouth tugged up slightly.
“Let me help,”
He set his backpack that was hanging off his shoulder on the nearby table with a stack of papers he nursed in his arms before and rolled up his sleeves, ready to take a proper look at the problem on your hands.
With a few expertise clicks as if he’s been handling this issue every single day, the machine started purring quietly within no time, the pages of your paper beginning to slide out.
“Oh my god thanks! I don’t know what I would do without your help!” You let out a relieved sigh.
“No problem. I’m always up for saving a crisis,” The guy grinned and moved his gaze from you back on the printer. “Wait- Isn’t that the paper for Taylor’s class? I did that last year. My condolences,”
“Please don’t remind me. Had the worst time writing it. And the new assignment is even worse!” Just the thought of your sleepless nights and mornings full of coffees above writing that paper made you disgusted.
“Oh I remember this all too well. I still have my notes from his class. Maybe I could help?” He handed you your printed pages and swiped his own ID card on the machine to print things of his own.
He was older. And kind.
“Umh that sounds tempting,” You admitted with warm cheeks.
“Are you free Friday afternoon for uh… let’s say a coffee date?”
A few seconds passed by but the machine didn’t seem to be doing anything. You swiped your ID card again, and again, but the only response you got after many failed attempts to make the printer work was a cryptic error code flashing on its small screen.
Your eyes widened in shock, not expecting this still mysterious man to be so straightforward with you. A date? A coffee date? This simple innocent thing sounded so serious in your head.
But there was also the thought of Harry. It didn’t feel right to go on a date with someone who wasn't him. A best friend that gave you enough. From overly affectionate hugs to mind-blowing orgasms. Someone you had the longest history with. It felt like you would almost cheat on him. Just the thought made you frown.
“Hey you good? It doesn’t have to be a date date. Just a conversation over a cup of coffee. You seem really nice.”
A memory from a recent morning appeared in front of your eyes and suddenly you found yourself nodding at the offer quickly. It wasn’t so long since you saw Harry making out with some skinny blonde girl in high heels, pressed against the door of supposedly her car in front of the campus, tongues deep in each other's throats and hands all over their bodies. You felt sick to your stomach that day and apparently it was enough of an encouragement to go out with someone you barely knew.
“Okay,” You murmured quietly and gave him a soft smile, holding your papers tightly pressed to your chest. “A coffee date sounds nice,”
“Oh I’m so sorry for my manners, I’m Jacob by the way,” He laughed at himself and offered you a hand. You noticed ink crawling up his inner wrist in a cool design when you squeezed his hand back. The tattoo reminded you of Harry’s. “So, let’s say the small cafe around the corner? 4pm? Does that work for you?”
“Yeah, that’s perfect.”
He was everything.
“Let me give you my number, so you can call for help next time the printer breaks,” Jacob opened his palm and you handed him your phone without hesitation, watching him tap his phone number in quickly and call himself back. The contact was saved under the name ‘Jacob, the printer saviour’. It made you giggle when you noticed that.
You fell into an active exchange of messages almost immediately. Unsurprisingly Jacob was the first one who started a new conversation. A picture of a stack of books that you desperately needed for the essay you’ve been just working on made your phone ring with notification the very same night after he saved your paper.
You giggled at the simple yet playful message and responded with a bunch of emojis you’ve been carefully picking out for about ten minutes. And from there it was easy. A message here. A picture there. You found yourself laughing out loud at times as well as biting your bottom lip to stop yourself from blushing too much.
“What are you laughing at?” Harry murmured when he heard you snicker for the fifth time and pulled a carton of orange juice from the fridge. You heard a quiet clink of glass and thud of the cabinet door but didn’t react, too enamoured in your phone.
“Baby?” He tried one more time, calling your name a bit louder.
“Huh?” You looked up at him from your device with a stupid smile plastered on your face and turned off the screen to pay him attention. You were sprawled all over the couch in your living room, your laptop forgotten on the coffee table as well as your still full cup of tea that has turned cold.
“What is so funny on your phone? I can hear your giggles all the way to my room,” Harry shook his head fondly at the sight of you and walked closer before he plopped down next to you on the cushions.
“Nothing,” You bit on your bottom lip, reached for your laptop and pretended to busy yourself with the blank page of your essay.
“Oh c'mon, I know you’re lying,” Harry tried to reach over you for your phone but you were quicker and tucked it between the couch cushions far away from him.
“I’m not,” A quiet huff left your lips in protest.
“Sure, sweet thing,” He hummed, resting comfortably next to you on his side, quietly observing, because he didn’t believe you it was nothing. The nicknames would be your death one day.
Slowly he leaned in, not too close but enough to crowd your space and closed the laptop in your lap without even looking at it. You didn’t protest. Couldn’t. His warm breath fanned your cheek, inching closer with every exhale, before his lips were on yours. Soft at first, but growing hungrier with each swipe of his tongue. He earned a moan from you, a quiet whimper in reaction at the unexpected kiss. He got you dizzy every time with a simple kiss.
“Harry,” You breathed in his mouth and slid your hand in his long tangled locks to keep him close.
Harry leaned more over you after a while in the make out session and with one hand on your cheek, he reached with the second one past you and withdrew your phone with triumphal smile.
“Gotcha, love!” He grinned mischievously and scrolled through the bunch of new notifications you got in the meantime.
“What the fuck Harry!” A frustrated whine left your lips and you crawled over him, straddling his hips successfully, as you tried to get your phone back.
“Who’s Jacob?” Harry’s brows pulled together in a confused furrow. You could see the wheels turning in his head to find answers to his own question and his eyes ticked between the few previous messages.
“Umh, just some guy. I- I met him in the library the other day.” You mumbled nervously and looked down as if you'd done something bad. Because deep down you felt bad. Harry was your guy, not some random bloke named Jacob.
“Oh okay,” Harry pulled his lips into a thin line in a thought. A guy? You were texting with a guy? These were some news to him. Because for the ages of knowing you, you never really stumbled upon texting with some random guy.
“Yeah he uh- helped me with my paper. The printer broke and he fixed it for me,” You tried to explain, hoping it would ease whatever was going behind Harry’s eyes.
“Sounds like a nice guy,” He nodded.
“Are you mad at me?” You whispered. You could feel anxiety running through your body already.
“Baby, why in the hell should I be mad at you?” He shook his head and cupped your hips in his hands, subtly tightening his hold on you and pulling you close.
“I don’t know, ugh whatever- forget i said anything,” A quiet huff escaped your lips and before you could think more about the growing tension in the air, you buried your face in his neck.
“Okay,” You heard Harry murmur softly in your ear before he pressed a few kisses to the side of your face and neck.
His arms sneaked around your upper body, pressing you against his sturdy chest. One of his hands slipped under the fabric of your oversized shirt, rubbing soothing circles over your bare back, while his other cradled your head. He didn’t want to let go. Not after the newly found information.
Clinging and affection were very normal things to happen with Harry, but you could feel a slight difference now. You weren’t sure what exactly was going on in Harry’s head, but at that moment it felt best to not push him. It never did any good when you tried to force him into talking. He was still a man after all. A very stubborn one at times.
Harry was indeed a bit in his head ever since the new revelation about the Jacob guy you’ve been obsessed with.
He had everything he could have wanted. Amazing best friend, great apartment, good grades and a beautiful girl whimpering beneath him.
She was a pretty thing. With already messy hair all over Harry's pillow and only her lacy red bra covering her chest. Her shirt was lost somewhere on the hardwood floor. She accommodated Harry between her spread legs, buckling her hips in his ever so often to show him how needy she was for him.
They made out for a bit until they were gasping for air, but Harry was desperate and claimed her lips in his right after he caught his breath. His brows were furrowed and eyes tightly shut as he huffed in her lips, kissing her hungrily.
One of her hands slid under his shirt, teasing his abs and chest with her fingertips, while the other tangled in his long hair and held him close.
“Mhm Harry,” She moaned in his mouth when she felt his bulge press against her and palmed it through his tight jeans. “You’re so hard,”
Not so subtly as he thought he would be, he wrapped his fingers gently around her wrist and moved her hand up in his hair to join her other one. He wanted all the focus on her only.
Harry moved from her lips to the junction of her neck. He whispered sweet nothings in her ear in the raspy voice that made every single girl's knees buckle including yours and bit her skin there, soothing the rough bites with his tongue afterwards.
She could feel Harry slowing down, his lips puckered very occasionally in a softening kiss and his hands roamed her body more, searching for every curve and imperfection, searching for you.
“What’s wrong?” She breathed out when Harry stopped completely and remained still over her, his forehead against her cheek, his hands on her hips.
“Nothing, sorry, nothing. Let’s continue,” He huffed out and started sucking on her neck again. He knew his wild thoughts were slowing down his performance, but he couldn’t help himself. She wasn’t you.
“Can I blow you?” She murmured sweetly and reached after his hard cock again, giving it a gentle squeeze to make Harry groan.
“Maybe another time, love.” He shook his head and sat up on his knees. “Lemme take a look at you, I bet you’re wet, hm?”
Through the thin walls, you could only hear the girl's high pitched moans but nothing close to Harry’s moans or grunts, just his muffled sweet talking.
“Harry, I’m going out! I should be back-“ You stepped out of your bedroom, dressed in a simple midi dress with flowers in warm colours scattered all over the white fabric and leather sandals, putting on your golden earrings. There was a noticeable touch of makeup on your face and your hair was lightly curled.
“You are going out?” Harry sat up abruptly from his place on the couch and pressed pause on the remote to stop whatever he was watching on the TV.
“Yeah? What’s wrong with that?” You looked at him with furrowed eyebrows, not understanding where he was going with that question.
“You are not usually going out…” He shrugged and stood up. With a low groan he stretched his limbs from sitting a few hours in the same position in the same place and walked to you.
“Rude. I can take that as an insult, you know? Watch your tongue,” You rolled your eyes at him and put all the necessities in your bag. The one you wanted so much and got it from Harry last Christmas.
“It wasn’t an insult, sweetheart!” Harry objected quickly and raised his hands in surrender. “I’m just saying it’s not typical for you, that’s all. I’m surprised,”
“I should be back around eight,” You finally finished the sentence from before and ran your fingers through your hair to give it some shape.
“Where are you going?” Harry asked but it came out more harshly than he planned.
“To a cafe,” You shrugged.
You were nervous. You couldn’t lie to yourself about that. But maybe not even from the date itself like from the fact Harry wouldn’t be the man you were planning on sharing a cup of coffee with.
Harry was the only man you were used to spending time with. There’s never been anyone else. It was scary yet exciting at the same time.
“Love, you know you have trouble sleeping when you have caffeine in the late afternoon,” You heard him mumble softly, as if this reason should stop you from going out.
“I’ll be alright, don’t worry,” You chuckled and stood up on your toes to give him a small peck on his cheek. He hasn’t shaved and the little stubble tickled your lips deliciously. “See you later,”
You arrived at the cafe ten minutes before the clock hit four. You found a nice spot in the corner, secluded away from the busy tables but by a window with a nice view on the street.
A quiet ring of a bell by the front door made you look up from the menu you’ve been going through for the past fifteen minutes and saw Jacob almost running to your table.
“Hey, I’m so sorry I’m late!” He apologised with a small smile and opened his arms to hug you.
“It’s okay, I haven’t been waiting for long,” You smiled at him and watched as he slid in the chair on the other side of the table with effortless elegance.
“I heard the coffee here tastes amazing,” Jacob grinned and reached for his own menu, skimming it briefly with his eyes.
“I’m probably gonna ruin your original plans of this coffee date but I’m gonna get some tea instead,”
“Nothing could be ruined,” He sent your way a playful wink and waved with his hand on the waiter to get our orders. You could almost see the confidence and good mood he was presenting himself with shining from him.
He ordered an americano for himself and a lemon balm tea with honey for you as well as the last pain au chocolat he noticed they had in the display counter when he arrived.
The conversation was easy with him. He told you about his studies and his plans after finishing university, he wanted to teach arts and music in a primary school. He mentioned his family and how his younger sister was going through a wild phase of puberty and he had to set her wild ideas straight and calm down her out of place behaviour, while laughing during the funny parts of his stories. He showed you pictures of his shar-pei puppy named Ruby at which you melted into a puddle of ‘awws’ and begged him to see more. And he gladly showed you more videos of him playing with her.
You laughed at his jokes and blushed and bit your lip at his flirting all while you both were sipping your drinks until the waiter had to tell you to go because they were closing and the sun started to set behind the windows.
Jacob paid for both of your orders even when you protested and side by side you ended up wandering through the London streets, not really wanting to end the date yet. Your hands and shoulders brushed occasionally when you took turns or too many people started walking past you, but you never intertwined your fingers.
You felt like you have known him for ages already. He was naturally charming and friendly in the way that made you lean to him despite your inner turmoil.
You really liked him. Jacob was a nice guy, gentleman, with a good heart and jokes that made you fall into a fit of laughter for minutes. Chestnut curls, tall enough you’d have to stand up on your toes to give him a kiss or wrap your arms around his neck, toned muscles from working out in gym and a few tattoos you’ve noticed on his arms and neck so far but you couldn’t help yourself but wonder where else was another art from ink hiding on his body.
He was the first one that ever showed interest in you. Just this fact made you giddy. He was perfect. But not the imperfect messy roommate with loud snoring and extravagant taste in music.
“So… This is where I live,” You murmured when you and Jacob stopped in front of your apartment building.
“Okay,” He smiled softly, his dimples showing off just a little, and reached out to rub your arm. “Today was really nice,”
You looked down at where his palm moved up and down slowly and blinked a few times before you covered it with yours.
“I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the tea again,”
You both stood there for a moment, just watching each other, thinking about how good this date went and another could too.
“Would it be too much if I wanted to kiss you right now?” Jacob’s baritone brought you back from your thoughts.
“Umh just a tiny peck?” Your cheeks turned the warmest colour of red at his confident question but you gave him a small nod anyway.
“That’s alright with me,” He shrugged and stepped closer until you were just mere inches apart. His hand moved from your arm to your cheek and cradling it gently he leaned down and pressed his lips against yours in a whisper of a kiss, making him the second man you have ever shared your lips with.
“See you around?” You whispered when you pulled away.
“See you around,” His fingers lingered on your cheek for a moment longer and you could swear you heard him thinking about pulling you in for a proper kiss before he let go completely and with a last smile Jacob turned around and slowly started walking away.
You were feeling a lot. Your heart was fighting with your mind, thoughts were arguing one over another and stopped making sense after a while. You were so much in your head that walking up the stairs to your apartment took you twice as long.
“Oh sweetheart, I was about to call you. You were out for a while,” Harry rushed to you from the living room when he heard the rustling of keys and the front door open.
“You were worried about me?” A small smile spread on your lips.
You kicked off your sandals and put them neatly by the door and set your bag down on a little puff seat you had in the hallway. After a long day of classes, preparations for your date and the date itself, you felt tired. Emotionally and physically drained.
“I always am,” He admitted without shame before he stepped closer and tugged a strand of hair behind your ear, his hands lingering on your face and neck. “Have I told you how pretty you look today?”
“Uhuh,” You shook your head and without thinking nuzzled in his muscled chest. Your arms sneaked around his waist and your face was buried deep in the fabric of his shirt.
Harry chuckled at your sudden clinging but hugged you close to his body without a second thought.
“You look so so so pretty, baby.” He murmured in your hair and pressed with one hand on your lower back to keep you close while his other one rubbed your arm up and down. It felt completely different than it did with Jacob.
“Thank you,” You mumbled quietly.
“Did you have a good time?” Harry swayed with you slightly from side to side.
At his question, you pulled away from his chest and let out a long sigh, venting some of the tension that was holding onto you. You looked up at him, the height difference slightly bigger than it was with Jacob and you quietly compared the two men in your head.
Harry had a reputation, no one would really say it was a bad one, but it was certainly something. On the other hand Jacob was simply a nice guy.
They both were your type in terms of looks, Harry just had longer hair that was amazing to tangle fingers in and tug on them.
You haven’t known Jacob for a very long time, but from what you already knew, he was one of the nicest men you’ve ever met. He had all the good qualities every woman was looking for in a man. Kind, polite, smart… And Harry had the qualities too, though he shared them mostly with you only. He was unique in his own way. With his dirty mouth but a cuddle bug personality.
They had so much in common but nothing at all. And no matter what your head told you that was right, your heart wanted something different.
“It was nice. We were the little cafe by the university,” You nodded finally and gave him another, this time a bit of a fake smile.
“We? Who were you out with?” Harry’s brows furrowed in confusion, his protective instincts on high alert.
“Jacob. The guy I’ve been texting with,” You explained quietly. You bit your bottom lip nervously, unsure about his reaction.
“Yeah I remember,”
“We just grabbed a coffee. It was casual. Nothing serious I swear.” You said rather too quickly, your breathing quick and cheeks warm, trying to make Harry believe this too.
“Jesus calm down, sweetheart,” Harry laughed at your ragged breathing and how you nervously started picking at the hem of his sweater, acting like a kid that got into trouble, and he pulled you back in his chest to soothe your worries. “There’s no need to stress over this, it’s alright.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, of course. I’m glad you had a good time,” The tight smile and the forced tone he used when he had tried to be nice for the sake of everyone didn’t get lost on you.
You moved on the couch eventually. You still in the pretty dress with flowers, too lazy to change, and Harry in his comfy sweatpants and a sweater. He pulled you in his lap immediately, positioning you sideways on his thighs with your side pressed in his chest and your head under his chin. You watched the crime show he left on the TV together in silence, both of you thinking more than actually paying attention to the detectives solving crimes on the screen. You closed your eyes and let yourself get lost in the soft kisses Harry pressed in your hair from time to time and soft traces of his fingers on your arms and waist.
“Was he nice to you?” Harry broke the silence finally.
“Jacob?” You tensed but didn't move an inch.
“Yeah. Was he nice? Did he pull out a chair for you? Held the door? Paid?” Harry’s voice was laced with unspoken jealousy wrapped up in care.
“He was nice, Harry.” You whispered and reached after his hand, intertwining your fingers in quiet reassurance, giving it a gentle squeeze.
“That’s- that is good, yeah. You found a nice guy? Good.” Harry tightened his grip around your waist, pulled you even tighter into his chest and nuzzled his face in your hair, hiding the shuddered breaths from distress that left past his lips.
“Harry,” You whimpered. You ran your hands over his muscled arms, hoping to make him ease his grip but he did otherwise and leaned down to bite on the skin of your neck, marking you as his.
“I’m a nice guy too,” He growled in your neck and started sucking out a colourful bruise, alternating between biting and soothing the wound with his tongue.
His hands roamed all over your body. Over your thighs and hips, up to your waist and arms, squeezing, caressing, pinching. Every touch sent a shiver down your spine, making you lean into him more, crave him. It’s been a few days since you’ve done something more than kissing.
“Harry,” You moaned quietly and squirmed in his lap, feeling his hard-on press in your bottom. You both felt it. Something changing in the air, the electricity passing between your bodies, the lingering tension from before.
You turned your head back, resting against his shoulder and tilting in just right before Harry caught your lips in his, moaning quietly in the kiss. He tasted like coffee and something sweet. The kisses were long, soft, felt through, with bitten and swollen lips after. It was just small pecks and licks at first, before it changed into full on saliva swapping and hard make out session.
“Are you gonna see him again?” He murmured in your lips but before you could answer you had his tongue down your throat, kissing you like he lost his senses.
“I- I don’t know,” You pulled away from the kiss, resting your forehead against his as your whole body heaved with ragged breaths.
“Don’t,”
“What?”
“Just don’t,” Harry shook his head with a low growl and kissed you hard again, getting you dizzy with his lips in the blink of an eye.
He moved you on your back slowly, setting you against the pillows with care no matter how wildly his lips and hands worked on you, and found his place between your legs.
“Can I touch you, baby? Please?” The whimper was needy and his hands were already moving under your dress, bunching the fabric around your hips.
“Mhm,” You moaned quietly and bobbed your head up and down in agreement.
Harry moved his kissing assault from your lips to your jaw and neck, deliberately moving lower to your collarbones. He couldn’t stop touching you. His hands held on your bare thighs, massaging them softly with his rough fingertips he had from playing guitar a lot and spreading them open even wider.
“Can I take these off?” His fingers curled around the hem of your panties and gave them a small tug to show you his intentions. He looked down between your legs to take in the sight of the pink lace and the growing wet patch on the crotch. You looked cute, he thought.
“I haven’t shaved,” You huffed and squeezed your thighs together to stop him from undressing you. It’s been a few days since you’ve played around with a razor in the bathtub. You were getting better at it after Harry showed you how to do it though.
“This again? I don’t care, love, you know that,” Harry shook his head and pressed a kiss on the little bow at the top of your underwear before he spread your thighs one more time and tugged your panties down your legs.
You were spread bare in front of him on the couch, just your dress covered your upper half. Your whole body thrummed with excitement and nerves. You’ve always had this feeling in your stomach when Harry touched you.
“Look at that, so pretty,” His voice was quiet, full of awe, as he looked down at your pussy framed by tiny dark curls as if it was the most treasured art piece. But to him it was. He spread your labia with his thumbs and blew cool air on your clit, watching you squirm in the couch cushions. You were slick with arousal, just the kissing made you wet and dripping down your thighs. “Shhh baby,”
Harry traced your pussy lips gently with his pointer finger, swirled his tongue around the swelling bundle of nerves, and did everything to get more noises from you. He lapped at your juices with careful precision and let out a low growl in your core when your arousal hit his tastebuds.
He teased your entrance with one finger, dipping in just one knuckle to gather your wetness at the tip before sticking it in his mouth with a smug grin. “And tastes so good too.” He moaned and put his finger back, this time a little deeper.
“Oh-” You whimpered at the new sensation. You felt your walls clench and you buckled your hips subconsciously to chase the friction. This was the first time you felt something inside you besides a tampon. And it felt so different. Soft, warm, stretching you already and Harry wasn't even fully inside you with his fingers nor with what he had in his pants.
“That’s it, good girl.” The praise did wonders to your brain. You melted in his arms into a puddle of moans and whimpers.
With slow precise motions, he rhythmically moved his finger and curled it just right to tickle that tiny spot deep inside you. You cried out at the new feeling and reached after his hand in shock, trapping it in between your legs.
“Are you okay, baby? Do you wanna stop?” Harry’s eyebrows furrowed in worry and he slowly started withdrawing his hand. His gaze was now focused on your face only, gauging what you felt.
“No, no, no, no- just don’t stop. Please don’t stop,” You pressed on his hand gently until the whole length of his finger disappeared in you.
“Are you sure?”
“Mhm, it feels so good. Want more,” You moaned.
Harry smiled softly at the sight. You were still shy and innocent when it came to intimacy, but now you were begging for more. And who was he to not give it to you?
“Alright, angel. We can try adding a second finger. But you need to tell me if something’s gonna start feeling different or hurt, yes?”
You nodded but when he raised his eyebrows at you with the unspoken ‘we’ve had this conversation already’ you whispered “Yes, I will.”
He pulled his pointer finger out before he added his middle finger and ever so slowly slid them past your entrance, your arousal making it glide a little smoother as he stretched your tight muscle. He pumped into you slowly, he didn’t want to overwhelm you. His palm brushed against your clit with the steady rhythm of his hand, making your eyes roll in the back of your head.
“God, you’re so tight. And soaked. I can feel you dripping, love.”
Every curl of his fingers brought you closer to the edge, his fingertips brushed against your g-spot expertly without missing a beat. Your walls fluttered around his long fingers and you started clenching involuntarily, making you a whimpering mess underneath him. Soon you felt weird pulsing between your legs that matched your heartbeat, the blissful familiar feeling of an orgasm. It shook with your whole body and made your back arch up in the air, you felt blinded by the dark and the only thing you could hear was ringing in your ears. Orgasm crashed through you like a tsunami.
“Shhhhh, there you go, baby,” Harry murmured in the soft tone he used only for you and cupped your cheek with his free hand, calming you down. Your hair was sticking to your forehead with sweat and you felt him brush the sticky strands behind your ear.
“Harry,” You sobbed.
He didn't stop moving his fingers, wanting to prolong your orgasm as much as it was possible. You squirmed on your spot, dripping with sweat and your juices. The couch is gonna need a good cleaning later for sure.
“It’s okay. You did so good. That was a big one, huh? Good girl,” Harry praised you in a whisper and leaned in to catch your lips in a soft kiss. A complete opposite from what it started with.
He withdrew his hand finally and put his fingers in his mouth instead. His eyes fell shut and he moaned loudly at the taste. “So sweet for me.”
You reached blindly after his free hand, your chest still heaving from the aftermath of your orgasm. It was indeed intense. You felt like your body was floating and your head was dizzy.
“I’m here, love. I’m here, don’t worry.” He reassured you softly and wrapped his arms around your fragile body, cradling you close to his chest. “Do I have you back?”
“Mhm,” You hummed sleepily and nuzzled your face in his neck.
“You know I care so much about you,” He murmured in your hair. He pressed soft kisses all over your face and hair, whispering sweet nothings and praises between them. “So much. My girl.”
“I care about you too, H.” You whisper, grasping on to the last moments of being awake before sleep overcame your body.
“And I hate sharing you. You’re my girl only,” Harry admitted finally, knowing it’s safe to confess right now when you were fast asleep.

ALL MY LOVE AND TPWK, E
You weren’t sure who got more obsessed. Because apparently Harry was out of his mind.
You were reading in your bed. Half dressed, with messy hair and comforter thrown over your body when Harry came into your room, insisting on his important presence, and claimed his usual spot in your bedsheets. But after watching your braless chest rise and fall slowly with every breath you took and your eyebrows furrow occasionally when the plot of your romance novel twisted, he grew bored.
With not so much innocence he thought he had, Harry crawled under the covers and snugged between your parted thighs, looking comical with his socked feet sticking past the edge of the mattress in the air.
“What the fuck Harry?!” Lapping after air, you smacked his head with the sturdy back of your book through the fabric of the comforter, making him groan in pain and bury his face only deeper in your core.
You heard a muffled inhale from him, busking in the scent of your musk and wetness. It was early afternoon, you didn’t take a shower yet, and you were sure he could smell it. His nose bumped into your clit hidden under the thin fabric of your panties and soon his tongue joined the ministration and licked a long flat strip right where a bit of arousal already made an appearance on the crotch.
“Are you seriously- jesus Harry,” You huffed out a laugh before your mouth opened in an ‘o’ shape when he stuck his tongue into your entrance through your underwear.
It was the fifth time that week Harry accommodated himself between your thighs and it was only Thursday! He made you his new hobby, an obsession, a sugary candy he could munch on, and even with your ongoing confusion about his excitement, you were over the moon too.
He didn’t leave the comfort of your apartment. He stayed close, within reach, watching you like a hawk with lustful eyes and prominent need, ready to dive into the waters of your core whenever you’d start craving his touch. At night, in daylight, before dinner, for breakfast, it didn’t matter.
“I’m reading!” You cried out and lifted the hem of the comforter to take in the sight of your best friend between your legs. His eyes were closed as he made out with your core like a man starved. Quiet hums escaped past his lips, making your body buzz, and his arms were tightly wrapped around your thighs to hold you in place.
“You were reading, love,” He reached out and snatched the book from your hand, throwing it carelessly somewhere on the mattress beside him, all without sparing you a single look.
You wanted to react, say something like ‘i hate you!’ or ‘fuck off!’ but all that came out was a loud moan after he pulled the crotch of your panties to the side and pressed a lingering kiss to your clit, already covered in your arousal. Your hips buckled in his face at the rhythmical flickers of his tongue and your fingers tangled in his long strands, pulling him as close as possible.
He had you coming on his tongue in no time, already knowing all your sweet spots that made you roll your eyes back in your head and lungs craving air. He lapped at your juice carefully, not wanting a single drop to go to waste, and moaned into your core until you had to force him away.
“So sweet,” Harry hummed softly and rested his head against your hip, letting you calm down at your own pace. He learned you needed at least five minutes to calm down to get your bearings and his gentle touch soothed you in a way you couldn’t explain.
Your breath was laboured, your body shook slightly under Harry’s weight, and your cheeks were wet from the few tears that fell down in the process as Harry rubbed your side soothingly, whispering soft praises into the silence of your bedroom.
“You’re crazy,” You breathed out finally when your heart beat got back to normal pace and rested your head back against the pillows, watching him nuzzle even closer.
“And you love it,” Harry murmured in a raspy voice, as if he was the one who was moaning and screaming a few minutes ago, and crawled up from underneath the comforter to lay atop of you, burying his face in your neck.
“We have to pack,” You let out a quiet sigh when you noticed the alarm clock on your bedside table.
You were planning on visiting Harry’s mom for the weekend. It’s been a while since Harry has been home and as usual, he wanted to take you with him. You were a part of the family at this point. You spent more holidays than you could count in his hometown, hung out with his sister back in high school maybe too much for his liking, even his extended family knew about you.
Harry decided to drive there. It wasn't a long drive, just about an hour, and his car was back from the service, ready for the roads after his little mishap the other week.
“Ugh I don’t want to!” He whined like a little child and buried his face deeper into your skin. “‘M just gonna wear my old clothes.”
“It won't fit you, Harry!” You laughed loudly at his solution and dug your fingers into his messy curls, scratching his scalp gently. Harry would purr if he could, it was his most favourite thing in the world. Right after you.
“Ever since high school you’re like three times bigger…” You added as you wiggled underneath him to get more comfortable. Your thighs were still sticky and your skin was covered in a light layer of sweat, but what you didn’t expect was Harry’s bulge pressing against your inner thigh through his basketball shorts. “Umh everywhere.”
“You like it?” That comment made Harry look up at you with a wide boyish grin and his hand sneakily slid down to your bottom to give it a firm squeeze.
“Shut up! We really have to pack! And I need to clean myself after your uh… visit,” You muttered with rosy cheeks, hating how easily he could get under your skin. You tried to get from underneath him, pushed at his broad shoulders and chest, but Harry was strong and didn’t even budge.
“Just admit it. You love the fact I get hard on from eating your sweet pussy,” Harry murmured in a low suggestive tone that he knew worked on you like a charm. He leaned forward and pecked your cheek, then the corner of your mouth, before he stole a proper kiss from your lips.
“I don’t,” The frustration was palpable in your voice but neither of you believed your blunt lie.
“Whatever you say, baby,”
Harry only smiled softly at your innocence, those damn dimples popping up, and pulled you in another kiss. His lips worked against yours in a slow pace but gradually grew deeper and messier.
“Harry! I’m serious! We have to pack! The sooner the better! You hate driving at night!” With all the strength you had in your spent body, you rolled him off you on the free side of the bed and got up on your shaky legs.
“You’re like a Bambi,” He propped himself up on his elbow, the comforter over body hiding his boner, and watched you move around your bedroom in just a pair of wet underwear and his old shirt. The sight always made a hint of possessiveness flare up in him.
“Two pairs of pants, two sweaters, three shirts…”
The hangers in your wardrobe left quiet screeching sounds behind as you moved them from the left to the right and back, picking clothes for your trip and throwing chosen articles on the armchair.
“Are five pairs of panties gonna be enough?” You turned around on your heel to face Harry with your bottom lip bitten and 5 pieces of flimsy fabric hanging off your finger.
“If you keep coming on my tongue like that, you’re gonna need at least twenty,” Harry grinned widely. You threw a pair of pink lacy thongs at him in reaction but he caught it expertly without moving his eyes away from you, only supporting your already growing annoyance at him.
The drive to Harry’s mom was smooth. Harry navigated through the heavy traffic in the bigger cities easily and handled the tight turns in the countryside with grace. An old playlist you haven't updated for years with songs from 80s to early 2000s played on repeat and Harry occasionally joined you in your private concert when he recognised the lyrics.
You arrived just before sunset. Anne was already standing on the porch when Harry pulled into the driveway. She looked so nice and put together as usual. With just a hint of makeup, hair lightly curled, wide smile adoring her lips and arms open.
“Hello! Come in, come in, it’s cold out here!” Anne was ushering you inside quickly before Harry could even pull two bags out of the trunk of the car. After a lot of persuading from your side, he reluctantly packed some clothes of his own.
“Hi Anne!” You smiled brightly at her and immediately snuggled in her arms, returning her big hug.
“How are my babies? How are you? Is Harry giving you lots of trouble?” She kissed both of your cheeks with a big ‘mwuah’ sound and rubbed your warm skin softly with her thumbs.
Here was the thing. Anne thought you and Harry were dating. For ages, probably ever since your second year in high school. And neither of you really tried to talk her out of it.
Your two were very close, affectionate, and Harry’s soft kisses to your forehead were hard to mistake for something else than a sign of a romantic relationship.
And Harry liked it this way. Lying to his mother wasn’t indeed something nice, but there wasn’t any harm in doing so. They knew you, they loved you, you were with him all the time anyway.
“I like the idea of dating you better than listening to my mom and sister talking me up to some weird girls I barely know,” Harry admitted one night when you were sleeping in his childhood bedroom, bodies pressed tight together given the small bed, but neither of you minded.
Around Anne and his family, you just had to act more lovey dovey. That task wasn't hard for either of you. Holding hands on or under the table, side hugs and snuggles, sitting in Harry’s lap, kisses to your forehead, cheeks or wherever else his lips could reach. And with the newly explored intimacy between the two of you, this weekend it seemed even easier. Because all you had to do for Anne’s eyes was now what you were doing regularly.
“I’m okay! It’s great to see you again Anne!”
You looked over your shoulder at Harry that was pulling your things out of the car and sent a wink your way when he noticed you were watching him. “Just the regular trouble, nothing I cannot handle.”
Anne cooked a grand dinner for you. It was always like this when you were around. Vegetable soup for the starters, then chicken and roasted potatoes, different types of salads and brownies for dessert. All of it was laid on the dining table, steam curled from the hot dishes and everything looked overly fancy with the porcelain dinnerware set you bought her last Christmas.
“Gemma’s gonna be here for the weekend too,” Harry’s mom announced excitedly as she plated your food. “I’m gonna pick her up tomorrow morning at the train station.”
“Good! Haven’t seen her in ages!” Harry mumbled with a mouthful of potatoes, happy about seeing his old sister, and threw his arm around the back of your chair to support his act. His fingers tickled the back of your neck lightly at first, just an innocent touch, before he slid his arm down and wrapped it around your shoulders.
“And how are your studies? What are you doing all the time? Harry’s not texting me much,” Anne encouraged you with a light move of her fork in the air.
Harry was bad at texting. Messages from one night stands usually stayed unnoticed for days, no matter the situation going on in his pants. The only person he was able to answer within minutes was you.
Dinner was long forgotten as you started describing Anne what you were up to. The essays you wrote and the exams you took, books you bought in the new bookshop by your campus that Harry stole from your desk immediately after he saw them, the new part-time job you found, or the plans you had for the summer with your family. Your life wasn't as exciting as Harry's so you had to spark up some stories a little bit.
But the whole time, his eyes remained on you, listening intently to not miss a single word and giggling under his breath when you mentioned him.
“You look so perfect together,” Anne shook her head fondly at the sight in front of her. “Just how Harry looks at you! My boy is so in love!”
“Mom!” Harry huffed. His cheeks grew warmer under the soft lamp light in embarrassment and he leaned closer to you to hide his face in your shoulder, only supporting his mom’s statement.
“What? I’m just stating the obvious,” She laughed and got up from the table to clean up after the dinner. You offered to help but she dismissed it quickly and ushered you and Harry to go rest after the long day.
The weekend flew by quickly. You spent the whole Saturday gossiping with Gemma, catching up on each other’s lives and walking around Holmes Chapel while Harry stayed with his mom to help her get some jobs around the house done.
“Can’t believe you're still together. How long has it been? Four years now?” Gemma stuck a spoonful of vanilla ice cream in her mouth while laughing. After walking through every corner of the town, you ended up sitting in a park, sun was melting your ice creams slowly and wind was messing with your hair.
You hummed around your own spoon, stopping for a moment to do a quick maths in your head. “Yeah, something like that,”
“I’m happy for you. He’s still a little immature sometimes, a boy, but… you make him better,”
You could see the love and care she had for her younger brother just in the way she spoke about him. He got on her nerves a lot but at the same time he was the one she went to cry, especially when they were still living together back then.
When her first boyfriend broke up with her for some other girl he liked better, that 13 year old lanky boy went to beat him up. Harry ended with more bruises than he was hoping for (zero) but in the end it did the job. Made his sister laugh and put her a tiny bit more at ease.
“I’m happy he didn’t end up like the frat boys back in my college that slept with every single girl on the campus,” She let out a gagging sound at the end of her sentence, her eyes rolling just at the imaginary.
Her words made you stop your hand in the air, the ice cream dripped over the edge of your plastic spoon down on the sandy path. “Umh yeah he’s- he’s great,” You nodded finally and swallowed the melted chocolate.
“He sent me this photo of you guys the other day. Had to send it to mom, couldn’t help myself. I bet she has it printed and hung on the wall already.” Gemma grinned, already fishing for her phone in the pocket. She scrolled through the thread of messages with her brother before she clicked on a photo she was talking about and turned the screen towards you.
You noticed the messages above it first. Plain, easy, nothing extra odd.
But then there was the photo attached. A photo you didn’t even know existed.
You were sprawled on Harry’s bare chest, snuggled underneath his arm that held you tightly in an almost protective gesture, your face buried in his neck and hair messy from his fingers running through it too many times. You were laying on your new lounger you bought for the balcony after your last plastic one had broken. This one was much more sturdy from oak wood and even came with a set of cushions!
On Harry’s stomach, just under his butterfly tattoo, laid the book you’ve told Anne about at the dinner. Spread open, just a few pages in, the dark colour of its cover contrasting with Harry’s pale skin. He just set it down to snap a photo, you assumed, because your pink bookmark was lazily thrown on the cement floor, peeking from underneath the lounger.
You remembered the moment perfectly. You found yourselves like this the other weekend after lunch. The sun was shining brightly and bathed your exposed skin in its warmth. You wanted to just lay down and rest but Harry insisted on starting the new book, in other words, he wanted to read to you. His voice lulled you to sleep before he finished the first chapter, though maybe the steady thump-thump of his heart under your ear and his soft strokes on your back had some effect too.
His face wasn’t fully in the frame, but a wide bright smile was peeking at the top, showing off his bunny teeth. He looked happy. He was happy. And so you were with him.
“I didn’t know he took this photo,” You breathed out in awe before a shy smile appeared on your face. Your grip tightened on Gemma’s phone and you pulled it closer to take a better look.
“You look good together,” Gemma hummed around her spoon as if her words were just a passing by and after a moment took her phone from your hand back and tucked it again in her pocket.
Sunday you spent all together. Harry, Gemma, Anne, and her cats of course. It was the typical lazy day as Sunday should be. Anne made her famous cherry pie for which Harry barely touched his lunch and was whining afterwards because he ate too much of the sweet pastry. Gemma was curled in the armchair by the fireplace, writing something in the laptop on her lap.
“It’ll be quick!” She mumbled when Anne scolded her for working while she should be enjoying the time with you and her brother instead.
But you didn’t mind. Your focus was mostly on Harry anyway because ever since you’ve joined him at the table for breakfast, he’s been acting weird. And not the typical ‘Harry Styles weird’ but weird WEIRD. He was restless in his seat, his hands fidgeted with everything nearby, and he didn’t talk as much as he usually did. Anywhere you moved, whatever you did, his eyes were on you.
You were sitting on the couch with him, snuggled under his arm with legs tugged under your bum and your head on his chest. He rested his cheek against the top of your head and sighed, a quiet, happy sound, just because you were close. He didn’t need more. There was some comedy playing on the TV, but Harry didn’t pay much attention to it and rather studied you. The way you hummed when he squeezed you and melted when he dived his fingers in your hair.
You felt his hand move slowly. Tracing your curves, from your waist down over your hip and to your thigh, before his fingers sneaked under the hem of your flowy dress’s skirt to trace your bare skin.
“Harry,” You murmured under your breath in a warning and covered his hand with yours to prevent him from starting something inappropriate.
“Hey! I’m just appreciating your beauty,” Harry pouted and gave your thigh a hard squeeze, making you whimper at the sudden pressure around your skin. He ducked his head to your neck and nuzzled closer, pressing lingering kisses over your throat.
“Too expressively,” You pinched the skin of his biceps between your thumb and your forefinger, just enough to leave the marks of your nails behind.
“Ouch! Sweetheart!“ He whined. His free hand immediately moved to caress his ‘wounded’ arm, examining the two little half-moons among his tattoos.
Anne joined you all in the living room not so long after, claiming her usual spot on the opposite side of the couch, and accommodated one of her cats immediately in her lap. The purring of the happy cat was so loud even you could hear it.
The conversation flew easily. Gemma set her laptop away and you turned in Harry’s arms, as much as his grip allowed it, to face Anne better as you talked. And Harry? He remained quiet. He listened to your exchange of words with watchfulness and nothing to add, his eyes focused on your face only as if you were the most mesmerising thing in the whole world.
Later that day, you packed your bags and put them in the trunk of Harry’s car also with a few containers of food from Anne so you didn’t have to worry about cooking for a day or two. She watched how you and Harry acted and communicated with each other and couldn’t help herself but smile at the sight widely. Mother always knows.
“Please drive safe. And be good to her,” She hugged Harry tightly, disappearing in his arms for a moment just like you usually did thanks to his height, before she turned to you, “Text me when you get home. And anytime you need, yeah?”
“Will do,” You nodded.
Soon you pulled out of her driveway and with a wave out of the window disappeared behind the first corner. The ride back home felt much longer, even though it was the same kilometres and time. You were curled deep in the passenger seat in a position that many people would see as a dangerous one, but your sleepy state didn’t really play by the rules.
Harry’s hand found your thigh about 20 minutes in the drive and gave it a gentle squeeze, something he’s never done before. He was a reckless driver, but never touched more than your hand during the drive, and only on the occasions when you were upset and teary eyed.
His thumb drew shapeless lines in your skin while he drove, though his eyes were fixed on the road unraveling behind the windshield in the dark, as if he wasn’t even realising what he was doing.
“Don’t fight the sleep, baby. You can nap. I’ll wake you up when we get home,” He murmured softly. He could see your head dropping and pulling back up when you drove through a pothole, desperately trying to stay awake.
“No I’m good,” You let out a soft mumble into the fabric of the passenger seat and snuggled up even more in it, pulling your legs up, your knees in your chest. Your eyes fluttered shut again and your lips parted, you didn’t even realise you were starting to drool.
“Of course you are. Perfect actually,” He hummed to himself and looked from the road down at you quickly. His heart ached at the sight. So pretty and small.
You slept through the rest of the car ride. When you blinked your eyes open, the sky turned dark, making stars scattered above your heads appear, and the houses passing behind the window signalled you were a minute away from the warmth of your apartment.
“We’re home, love,” Harry whispered when he parked the car in front of the apartment building and unbuckled himself before he turned in his seat to face you. He reached out and cupped your cheek, his thumb running over the soft skin under your eye.
You nuzzled into his big warm palm immediately and pressed a kiss wherever your lips could reach. Something so innocent your brain didn’t even catch up with.
Harry used the quiet moment to watch you, take the sight of your warm cheeks and tousled hair in. You looked so beautiful his heart could combust.
There was something dark in his eyes, you weren’t sure what, but it lured you in. It reminded you of the looks he gave you before he ended up between your legs or you atop his lap. Hungry. Waiting. Calm.
“Have I told you how pretty you are today?”
“No,” You shook your head, not really sure what to do with his compliment.
“You’re so pretty. So much it hurts, sweetheart.” He used his hand on your cheek to pull your face closer to his before he dived right in. His mouth moved against yours slowly at first, warming you up, tasting how much you were willing to do after the long ride. No matter what, he would never push you into things you didn’t want to do or crossed your boundaries.
You answered with a quiet whimper and licked into his mouth, making him groan at the sudden bold move. Your tongues danced together passionately and noses bumped into each other.
“Let’s get inside, hm?” He whispered in your mouth. His forehead rested against yours as he tried to catch his breath, low on oxygen all because of you.
“Mhm,” You nodded and unbuckled yourself.
Harry threw your bags on the floor in the hallway without any care when you got inside your apartment and clumsily toed off his sneakers, almost falling over in the process. There was the watchfulness in his eyes again, love curled around his orbs and want lingered in the puffs of breath he let out past his lip.
You were putting the containers with leftovers from lunch, spaghetti and some creamy vegetable soup from Anne, in the fridge when Harry found you in the kitchen. He crowded your space, his big palms cradled your hips gently yet with a firm grip and his chin rested atop of your head. Wrapped in his arms again.
“You’re dangerous,” He murmured after a moment in your hair before giving your hips a squeeze.
“Why?” You giggled and turned around to face him.
“This dress, ugh, this damn dress is doing things to me. Your waist, your boobs, your ass…” Harry growled lowly as his eyes took you in for a millionth time that day, holding you at arms length to see everything. “It fits you perfectly,”
The dress wasn’t something breathtaking like Harry interpreted it. You bought it on sale the other year just for casual wear. It was made from a soft black fabric, with a V cleavage and skirt long mid your shins.
“Just… I have no words, sweetheart. You have me speechless,” He groaned as if the sight of you pained him, which kind of did, and leaned down to kiss you hungrily, communicating this way everything words couldn’t.
You laughed into the kiss, finding him absolutely hilarious, but when he caged you between the kitchen counter and himself and his forming bulge pressed against your lower tummy, the laugh died in your throat.
“Harry,” You whimpered into his open mouth quietly, giving him free access to the depths of yours. His tongue swept against yours easily, the taste of cherry pie still lingering somewhere in between your exchange of saliva.
“Mhm? What is it?” He pulled away from the kiss. He lifted his right hand towards your face and ran the back of his knuckles against your cheek, making you lean into his touch.
“I don’t know,” The breath that left your lips was shallow, holding you on your own very edge from Harry’s presence, before a quiet laugh fought its way out too.
“ ‘m so hard, baby,” Harry cried out.
You have noticed, no, felt, the prominent outline of his hardening dick against the seam of the zipper on his jeans. It looked painful. You maybe had no experience, but you were sure he was bigger than average.
“Do you want me to help you?” You blurted out before you could think it through. You haven’t even seen him naked yet and suddenly you were offering to strip him down.
“Help me?” He chuckled at your proposition, his smile turning into something much more softer. “Oh my dirty girl. You can help me, yeah… We can try something new,”
“Yeah?” You whispered.
“Mhm,” Harry started slowly walking backwards in the living room, your small hand enveloped in his big one, leading you to the couch. “You could blow me. Or just touch me with this pretty hand, that’s gonna feel good too,”
“But what if it won't feel good? You know I haven't done it before,”
There were the insecurities of not being enough again. Of only embarrassing yourself in something so mundane, not fitting into the same boxes like the girls that touched him before.
“It’s gonna feel amazing, I already know it,” He sank down on the couch and spread his legs wide, welcoming you to stand in between them.
You squirmed on the spot under the heaviness of his gaze and bit your lip nervously, not sure what to do with yourself. You felt so awkward, unnatural, unsure of yourself. Nothing a guy would want in a girl. But Harry wasn’t just some guy.
He reached for a fluffy pillow you changed just a few days ago into a flowery cover and set it on the floor in front of your bare feet.
“C’mon, on your knees, baby, want you comfortable,” Harry murmured lowly, his voice getting just a bit darker, and offered you his hands to hold onto so you could kneel.
“This is so weird,” You cringed at the position you’ve found yourself in and rested your hands on his knees. Your skirt rid up slightly, the material bunched under your bum and your cleavage fell a little lower, giving Harry an even better view on your breasts.
“We don’t have to do this, it’s alright. You know I won't be mad,”
“No, no, no, I- I want to try this,” You shook your head quickly, so sure about your decision, and slid your hands up his thighs to prove your point.
“Alright, sweets. But you tell me if something doesn’t feel good, yes?” He waited for a nod before continuing, “Why won’t you help me out of the pants first, hm? It’s getting quite tight in them,”
With another determined nod, you started unbuckling his belt. Your hand shook slightly but you managed to pull the leather from around his waist with less awkwardness than you’d expected. Discarding the belt on the floor next to you, you moved to pop the button of his jeans open. Your hand brushed against his hard dick beneath the denim fabric and you heard him sigh just at the briefest touch. The sound of the zipper filled up the silence in the living room space neither of you really minded and Harry lifted his hips immediately, helping you tug the pants down.
Soon Harry was sitting in front of you in just his boxers and plain black shirt. You played with the hair on his thighs, tracing the outline of the tiger with your pointer finger, doing anything to keep yourself busy from thinking too hard about what was about to come.
“Let’s start easy. Touch me through the fabric, give me a squeeze, or you can kiss it if you’re feeling brave enough. Anything. Just want you comfortable,” Harry took your hand from his thigh and slowly moved it over his bulge, holding himself with your hand.
“Woah,” You whimpered. Touching him like this felt so monumental. You didn’t expect he’s gonna feel this hard and big, you couldn’t even imagine how he’s gonna look bare. It didn’t feel like anything you’ve ever felt before.
“Hard, innit? Told you, feels good already,”
With a spur of adrenaline or excitement, you weren’t really sure what exact emotions were bubbling in your belly, you leaned forward and pressed a kiss over his length, just next to your hands, leaving a smear of saliva behind on the cotton.
“Ugh good girl. My bravest girl. So good for me,”
Harry ran his fingers through your hair, messing with the strands a bit, cradling your head in the gentlest manner, not that he could do otherwise, and held you close.
You smiled shyly at his praise and looked up at him from underneath your lashes. With warm cheeks, doe eyes and tousled hair, the dress pooling around you and soft light from the lamp hitting your skin just right, you looked like an angel to Harry.
Testing the waters, you pressed there another kiss, this time a bit higher, close to the hidden tip. Hearing Harry react quite vocally was mesmerising to see, how his jaw dropped and eyes darkened. His hand slid from your head to your cheek and he ran his thumb over the warm skin, encouraging you to press more kisses over his clothed cock.
“Wanna kiss the real thing, sweetheart? Are you still brave for me?” He moved your hand to the waistband of his boxers and curled your fingers inside. You nodded at his questions, agreeing with both, and with his help started slowly tugging the cotton down.
His cock sprung up immediately when it had enough space, the bulbous head hitting your cheek in the process given how close you were, and you whimpered softly in shock.
Clumsily Harry tugged his boxers down his thighs and let them fall around his ankles, kicking them hastily away.
“Are you still doing good?” Harry murmured and wrapped his hand around his cock, giving himself a few lazy tugs to release some tension.
“Mhm,” You hummed but your eyes were focused only on his crotch. You were mesmerised.
He was big. Wide in girth you weren’t even sure you’d be able to wrap your fingers around him, with a prominent vein on the side and long so much his tip hit his belly button.
“What uh- what should I do now?”
Harry couldn’t help himself but smile at the sight in front of him. You were so cute and innocent, completely at his mercy. Trusting. His.
“Wrap your hand around me,” He guided your hand to his hard cock gently, wrapping his fingers around yours before ever so slowly started stroking his cock with your connected hands. “Feels so good baby. You’re doing great, just follow my lead,”
“You’re so hard, Harry,” You observed out loud, feeling the heaviness of him right in your palm. With each stroke, you felt his cock getting harder and the tip turned into a more angrier shade of red.
“Because of you. You’ve got me so hard, sweetheart. See? I’m already leaking,” He got your thumb swipe over the head and collected the forming bead of pre-cum. You watched wide eyed, with parted lips, doing as he told you to. “That’s a good girl, doing so good for me,”
You pumped him slowly for a bit. With his guiding hand at first before you took the matter in your own hands and tried on your own, and quite successfully, because you had Harry whimpering quietly in no time. He tried to keep his face straight, but your hand felt so good on him!
“Wanna take me in your mouth?” Harry offered gently between breathy moans and reached after your hand to stop you. If you’d keep going like this, he would come in no time and he wanted to savour this moment.
You stared at his hard length, too deep in thoughts, stuck somewhere between awe and fear. Finally you leaned forward and wrapped your lips around the head of his cock, the taste of him hitting your tastebuds immediately.
You flicked your tongue against his slit mindlessly, testing the waters, tasting him, which ended with Harry moaning loudly in response. You pulled away from him immediately, your hands flying back on his thighs, scared you did something wrong.
“Come back, baby. Sorry I scared you. I just couldn’t help myself, your mouth feels heavenly.”
Hesitantly you shuffled back and took him in your mouth again, just the few inches of many, and the rest you stroked gently with your hand.
It wasn’t long ago since you watched porn. Just for science reasons. You knew there was probably more about to happen with Harry and you didn’t want to look stupid or reckless. You knew he would never judge you, but the thoughts still lingered in your mind.
You looked up everything. A classic intercourse, something more hardcore that made you both cringe from the fake moans and sad at the sight of perfect bodies on the screen, girls receiving oral, and especially blowjobs. That was the main part of your ‘study session’.
Remembering what you saw in one video, after bobbing your head for a bit and hearing Harry enjoying it very loudly, you hollowed your cheeks and pushed him further in your mouth.
“Oh god yes!”
Trembling slightly, Harry pulled away some of the loose strands from your face and tugged them behind your ear, wanting to see your whole face while you made him feel good. Your eyes were tightly shut in concentration and drool dripped past your lips.
Ever so slowly you started taking more and more of him deeper in your mouth until his tip hit the back of your throat. You tried to relax and get used to the heaviness of him on your tongue, but instead you started gagging. You wanted to push past the feeling in determination to make Harry feel good, even when tears started falling down your cheeks, but Harry didn’t like it.
“Baby, no! Stop!” He pulled you away from his cock with a firm grip on your cheek. Not bruising, but enough to make you listen to him. “You’re hurting yourself,”
You’ve never seen him like this. In a dominant role, dark eyed with slack jaw and a disapproving frown on his lips. His voice was stern, not the sweet soft tone he used a minute before.
“I- I thought you’re gonna like it. Saw it in porn guys like it,” You hiccuped.
“Oh sweetheart,” Harry cooed at your confession, immediately loosening his grip on you, and started stroking your cheek, catching rolling tears with his thumb. “I do like it. But not if my girl is hurting,”
“No deep throating tonight, we’ll take it easy, yeah? Use just your hand now, let’s give your mouth some rest,” He ordered softly.
Still with teary eyes, you obediently nodded and wrapped your fingers around his cock. You stroked him slowly, only occasionally squeezed him or ran your thumb over his slit to collect more of his pre-cum. Nuzzling your cheek in his thigh, Harry ran his fingers through your hair in a reassuring gesture. He noticed you got scared after your unsuccessful attempt to make him feel as good as the guys in porn and wanted to calm you down.
“That’s my sweet girl. Making me feel so so so good with your little hand,”
“You’re gonna make me come soon,”
“Ah just like that,”
His praise got your heart beat faster and heat pooling in your tummy. It encouraged you to be even better for him.
“Do you want my cum, baby? I’ll allow you to use your mouth again. But you have to be good, mhm? No deep throating again,”
“Yes, can I?” You sat up straighter at his offer, your face lightening up. You’ve been wondering about how his cum would taste.
“Of course you can. Suck on me, I’m so close, love,” Harry brought your head back to his cock and ran his thumb over your bottom lip before slipping it in your mouth to press at your tongue. You sucked at his digit with focused precision, drooling around him, humming happily. He exchanged his thumb for his cock soon, pushing the tip past your plump lips, and slowly started fucking in your mouth, not too much to hurt you but enough to reach his approaching orgasm.
In no time Harry started coming. He was moaning loudly and his hips shook, a few drops of sweat were running down his forehead. His salty cum filled up your mouth, making you moan just as loudly at the taste and you tried to swallow everything, even though a bit got out and dripped down your chin.
“Fuck, yes. Such a good girl for me!” His chest heaved as he tried to catch his breath. You surely sucked the soul out of his body. His grip on your face loosened and he moved his hand to yours that rested on his thigh, intertwining your fingers tightly.
You kept sucking on him even after he came, knowing it could prolong the orgasm, and squeezed on his base to get more of his cum. He tasted salty, a little bitter, but oh god it made you drool.
“Uh enough, baby,” He whined at the overstimulation and pulled his cock out of your mouth, feeling it slowly softening against his tummy. “Come here, come up here,”
Quickly you got up from your knees and sat next to him on the couch. Every move was cautious and gentle, not wanting to startle him. You watched his expression, noticing every subtle change in his mimic, every flutter of his eyelashes and puffs of breath. He was so handsome it hurt.
“Was it okay? Did you like it?” You whispered, not wanting to ruin the atmosphere full of something you couldn’t quite name.
Your unsure questions made him blink his eyes open. “Did I like it? I loved it, sweetheart. The best blowie I ever got, I swear.”
Harry sneaked his arms around your waist and tucked you in his side until there was no space left between your bodies. You nuzzled your head under his chin, feeling suddenly shy. He was still sitting there half naked, without a single care in the world and cuddling you as if he just didn’t come hard.
“My sweet girl. Did her first blowie and did such a good job.”
“Ugh don’t talk about it like that!” You huffed in embarrassment.
“Oh I will. C’mon gimme a kiss,” He made a kissing sound as he nosed at your cheek, peppering your skin with kisses until he reached your lips and claimed your mouth in a deep passionate kiss. “My girl,”

ALL MY LOVE AND TPWK, E
The morning was like any other — slow in that stereotypical, half-asleep way. You stood in the kitchen in your fuzzy socks and an oversized hoodie that nearly swallowed you whole, the plethora of fabrics pleasingly soft against your skin. The hum of your old fridge you had after your grandparents filled the silence as you waited for the toasts to pop, and your hands were cupped around your favorite mug with coffee inside just how you liked it - dark but not too sweet, bitter enough to wake you up.
From Harry’s bedroom came the faint yet rhythmic sound of his snoring, muffled only by the paper-thin walls of your shared apartment, but somehow still present, the heaviness of sleep still lingered in the air.
It was Monday. Another siren’s call from university, ready to trap you into another endless cycle of lectures, deadlines and exhaustion. You had a long day full of classes ahead and so did Harry, though he never really seemed to care. He never did. And yet, somehow, he always got through everything effortlessly, barely trying and with B’s at the end of the semester. Sometimes you joked about him visiting his teachers during their office hours for securing those grades with just a drop of sweat on his forehead for the work, and he always only smirked at your loud thinking.
He was smart, but a slacker through and through. University had been his mothers dream, not his. He was much more simple, romantic, rather enjoying his bohemian lifestyle than studying. Play in a band, write poems about his lovers, never grow up. School was pointless in this direction, he claimed that proudly.
A soft creak of the door and a muttered curse pulled you back from your thoughts, breaking the comfortable stillness. You glanced up at the source of sound just when the toasts popped and you were spreading strawberry jam across the crispy surface with learned precision.
In the open space stood a girl. She was barefoot, her body snuggled in one of Harry’s shirts you knew too well and the fabric barely covered her bottom, just grazed tops of her thighs lightly. Her cheeks flushed red immediately when she saw you in the kitchen, the realization slowly sinking in. Even though Harry had mentioned something about a roommate while they stumbled in the threshold of your apartment last night, tangled up and sucking on each other’s tongues, she hadn’t expected you to be the roommate. A girl.
“Hi,” Your tone was welcoming and warm, practiced on tons of girls from before, and the easiest thing to do was offering a genuine smile to this one too. This kind of morning was nothing new. By now, the sight of a half-naked girl didn’t faze you in the slightest. “Want a cup of coffee? Or tea?”
She looked like everything you only wished to be. She was beautiful in the way ‘Playboy magazines’ in Harry’s bedroom promised. Hot and sexy, with flawless skin and soft lips, the type of a woman that made men lose their minds in bed. And Harry was losing his mind very loudly last night.
“Oh, um… no, that’s okay. Maybe, uh, where’s the bathroom?” Her voice was small. She was looking around, on her right and left, unsure of which door led wherever, to the quickest escape from you.
You nodded toward the door on her right. “Just there.”
She disappeared almost immediately, silence leaving with her. You heard the flush of the toilet, the rush of running water, and then nothing, just the familiar hum of the fridge again.
You were halfway through your toast when Harry (finally) appeared, emerging from his bedroom in nothing but a pair of boxers, unbothered, his long hair a tangled mess. Without a word, his tattooed arm slipped around your waist from behind, finding home underneath your hoodie as he pulled you back in his chest.
“What are we eating?” He murmured into your neck, voice still rough with sleep. His fingers traced lazy patterns across your abdomen before he reached forward with his free arm, stealing the toast straight from your hand.
“I had a toast” You said with a roll of your eyes but no actual annoyance, turning slightly toward him to see his sleepy face better. His jaw was tightening lightly with every bite he took and the few days old stubble on his cheeks he was too lazy to shave accompanied it. “There’s a fresh coffee if you want”
Harry only grinned, crumbs from the toast catching at the corners of his mouth. “You’re the best” Harry mumbled with a full mouth and pressed a chaste kiss on your neck, out of habit, leaving there a smear of jam with his lips, yet didn’t make any attempt at letting go. He craved your warmth more than you realised. Mornings were quite cold lately.
You stood like that for a while, each of you chewing at your toasts and swaying slightly to the rhythm of Harry’s quiet humming. To a stranger, it might have looked domestic. To you, it was something impossible to name.
“Harry, do you—oh.”
The girl appeared again in the kitchen and her voice died in her throat as she took in the scene unravelling in front of her. You saw the moment realization hit her. The way her expression faltered. “I uh… I should probably go. I have a class at nine. Yeah….” She stuttered, too stunned to say more, and clutched the towel around her body tighter, suddenly feeling too exposed to the two pairs of eyes watching her.
And Harry didn’t even turn. Not even a flinch of a muscle. He just hummed in acknowledgement and tightened his hold on you, as if she could do anything to his sweet best friend. His eyes met hers for only a second and didn’t tell much, just like every other time to the same girls before her, not even when they were writhing under him and moaning his name. They remained empty, nothing but a mirror for them to watch themselves in.
“Okay,” He said finally, the words coming past his lips almost as a tired sigh. “I’ll see you around, then?”
Another girl from Harry’s bed was gone. Leaving your apartment with the same furrow between her brows and a frown tugging at her lips as all the ones before her. Closing the front door shut behind her, she locked you two in your little bubble again
The only thing that remained though was the scent of strawberry jam lingering in the air.
Soon, the two of you were out the door. Harry trailed a few steps behind you, nursing the post-sex aura graciously (and your pink bag over his shoulder), and flicked through a dozen unread messages on his phone, dismissing them all with a simple ‘Not tonight babe, text me another day okay? x’ like if nothing in the world mattered more than listening to you chatter his ears away about everything and nothing at all.
You had the first class together, even the universe itself didn’t seem to want to part your ways. Harry was in his seat restless as usual, and when the idea of focusing on the topic started getting too boring, he abandoned his laptop. Instead of taking notes, he began writing his thoughts onto small pieces of paper and threw them under your nose to get your attention, when his own couldn’t be where it should be.
You rolled your eyes at his attempt to distract you, stoically setting the crumpled papers aside to read it later. But when another landed on your keyboard, followed quickly by third and then fourth, your curiosity won. Despite your best efforts to remain serious, the corners of your mouth twitched upwards as you read his scrabbles and shot him mock-stern look after each one before folding the “letters” neatly and tucking them between the pages of your textbook.
An hour before lunch break, the clock ticked with agonizing slowness, as if time mocked Harry. He sat in his Philosophy class and rather surely was losing his mind over the professor’s abstract theories. Though she had his bonus points for wearing that pretty blouse with polka dots, the fabric low-cut enough to show off her cleavage perfectly. At least something had his attention.
On the other side of the building, you were focused, typing down every word your professor of Art history uttered, until a spam of messages from Harry made your phone ring loudly through the room, making you jump on the spot and curse under your breath for forgetting to put your phone on a ‘silent mode’.
And even under the stern, over-the-glasses glare from your professor to ignore whatever disturbed his speech, you sneaked your phone under the desk anyway and laughed quietly to yourself, beaming at the messages your best friend sent you.
Harry was already waiting outside your classroom, leaning casually against the wall, counting down the seconds until your professor was kind enough to dismiss your class. When you finally emerged among the last of the students like you usually did, he was on you in an instant. He wrapped his arms around you tightly, showing his affection to the entire hallway. Something people and you were used to at this point.
“Oh was it that bad?” You laughed, your voice laced with a hint of amusement at his sudden clinginess. You found yourself in the same position you’d been in the morning and even when you tried to wiggle out of his grasp to get moving, he wouldn't budge. “C’mon Harry! I’m hungry!”
The night was colder than usual when you noticed Harry’s silhouette out on the balcony. He stood shirtless, only a pair of grey sweatpants hung low on his hips as a thin trail of smoke curled from the cigarette between his lips and his eyes scanned over the dark sky decorated with shining stars, distant and quiet, mirroring his thoughts.
You didn't remember falling asleep, but the absence of his warmth beside you had woke you up. With a pained groan, you pushed yourself slowly upright from whatever uncomfortable position you had collapsed into and stretched your arms above your head, letting out a quiet yawn. The TV still played in the background, but now on a lower volume, and the episode of the series you had on passed whatever moment you last remembered, though you didn’t bother to care. For a moment, you lingered in the soft cushions, disoriented and a little drowsy, before you finally stood.
Your steps were slow, hesitant, as if you didn’t want to intrude on whatever quiet moment Harry had carved out for himself, or maybe to save yourself a few extra seconds to admire his perfectly toned back from all the hours of working out.
“Hey,” You murmured, your voice small and still heavy on sleep as you slipped your arms around his waist from behind and pressed your face deeper into the warm skin between his shoulder blades.
“What are you doing here, sweetheart? Thought you were asleep.” His free hand reached back to find your side and grazed the skin of your thigh just below the hem of your skimpy shorts with his fingers tenderly.
“Warming you up.” You mumbled into his skin, the sound of your voice muffled but still clear enough for Harry to make out every word. “Don’t want you to get cold.”
“And you won’t get cold in this little tee and bare feet, y’want to tell me?” His accent broke through the stillness of the moment, a gentle tease obvious in his voice as he slid his hand up and tugged at your shirt playfully, making his point. His cigarette was soon flicked into the ashtray on a small wooden table before he finally turned around to face your pretty pout.
“Stop it.”
“I’m just teasing you, baby. You know that!” He cupped your cheeks gently in an attempt to soothe your distress and rubbed slow soothing circles over your freckles, mapping each one with a careful press of his thumbs.
“I meant the smoking. Quit it. Please. Why do you even do it?” You huffed, your brows furrowed and frown decorated your lips. Your frustration soft but sincere. You didn’t like Harry’s bad habit. You hated it. The years he’d had it, the countless attempts to make him stop that never stuck.
“It quiets my head.” He said softly. “Takes every thought out for a minute.”
His right hand moved from your cheek, tracing down the line of your jaw before settling in the mess of your hair. Slowly, he guided you back toward the door, each step deliberate so you wouldn’t trip over the threshold. “It’s different than what you get from… orgasm for example. More bitter. But you,” His fingers toyed with a strand of your hair. “You’re a sweet thing. So good to me. Always looking out for my lungs. ’M sorry for making you worry so much…”
You tightened your grip on his sides just a little, the need to be close to him supporting it only. Lately, every touch from him made you giddy. It felt charged, electric. Something behind the traces of his fingers and kisses everywhere on your face changed. Something you couldn’t quite figure out.
The moment the balcony door clicked shut behind you, the atmosphere shifted into a much warmer and intimate kind. Harry fell back onto the couch with a pleased, lazy grin, tugging you down with him in one smooth, practiced motion. Another routine, one of the few you never minded. Just newly found closeness and kissing.
You straddled his hips without waiting for a cue, your muscle memory guiding you. You felt like a pro at this mundane thing by now. Your knees sank comfortably in the cushions and your body settled over his just in the way that made you both let out a happy sight.
There was less embarrassment and more courage in your movements, though the clumsiness and inexperience were still very present. And Harry was more than okay with it. He loved it actually. The reckless grinds of your hips over his tattooed thigh and hungry lips that still didn’t maintain the art of kissing perfectly. The rushed releases and messy kisses he always met with a low laugh or a breathless hum at your desperation, maybe even horniness. His sweet innocent best friend wasn’t quite so innocent anymore.
“You had a good nap, sweetheart? You must’ve been so exhausted. You were out like a light.” His eyes searched yours when you were close to him again, so close your breath mingled with his own, as he remembered how sleepy you were when you finally got home after the day full of classes. Cradling your face again in his big palms and squishing your cheeks gently like something precious, he leaned forward and pressed a lingering kiss in the crown of your head. The height difference made it effortless for him.
“Mhm, was good. Always sleep good with you.” You murmured as you leaned into him, burying your face in the slope of his shoulder. His profile looked unfairly perfect from this angle. His cheeks covered in a few days old stubble, jaw sharper than a knife and his curls tickled your face lightly with every small movement.
Harry didn’t respond, just let out a quiet hum in acknowledgement before he turned his head toward you. Your noses brushed immediately given the closeness, and the moment he noticed the heat rising beneath your skin, whether from the cold air outside you’d found him in or from being too close, he leaned in.
The first kiss was gentle, a soft press of lips to lips. But minutes stretched, breaths mingled, and the gentleness frayed into something deeper and hungrier until you were kissing him in that familiar untamed rhythm you both knew too well, full of teeth clashing and heat blooming between you.
“So sweet,” He moaned and licked into your mouth eagerly as if to confirm his statement. You were dangerous to him. Better yet worse than a pack of cigarettes. You were killing him the same way. Maybe even more. Making him breathless and reaching after you always in need. And he was already far too deep in whatever this was between you to pretend he could ever walk away from it.
Your head spun at the taste of him on your tongue. Taste so unmistakably and utterly his you’d grown starved for. You’d never imagined kissing could feel like this, like something that seeped under your skin and settled there, permanent.
You giggled at his praises, the kind he never offered lightly, the kind meant only for you. Absentmindedly, you rocked your hips on his lap, receiving a low, unguarded groan that vibrated through you.
“Sweetheart,” Harry rasped, his voice wrapped rough around the warning, but nonetheless bad or scolding. Just an acknowledgement of the effect you had on him. His mouth left yours slowly, trailing over your cheek, along your jaw, settling in the curve where your neck met your shoulder to press a few lingering love bites deep in your skin. He nuzzled in you, breathed in the smell of your body wash and the softness your body lotion left behind.
“Sorry” Your voice lingered in the air, the word small and shy. Still, your arms looped around his neck, holding him as close as possible.
Harry held you gently in his arms. One hand cradled your head, the other settled at your lower back as he carefully shifted, guiding you down onto the couch, all without pulling away from your neck. His body slotted perfectly between your legs as his kisses trailed lower, over your covered chest and stomach, until your shirt rode up beneath his hands and his attention settled somewhere new. Somewhere unexplored.
“What are you doing?” You whimpered at the unexpected touch as his face disappeared against your stomach.
He was leaving soft kisses around your stomach, some quiet and feather-like, some playful with leaving a loud ‘mwah’ behind, and nibbling at the plush skin of your abdomen you’d spent years trying not to think about. He worshiped you like the goddess you were in his eyes and didn’t need a single word to prove it. “Loving on my girl. Such a nice and soft tummy.”
“Harry…” Your breath shook as your hands tangled in his messy hair, fingers gripping instinctively. Your insides felt funny. Everything unsteady and buzzing. Harry always did that to you. Made your body react before your mind could catch up. With any touch at any place. But still beneath the heat, something else stirred. Something tight and uncomfortable. You didn’t want the insecurities to get in the way, but it was getting harder with every kiss he uttered lower and lower and every dip of his fingers under the hem of your shorts.
“Harry…” You repeated yourself, your voice much quieter now you didn’t even think he could hear you. But he did. He stilled immediately when he heard the broken tone. “I don’t- I uh- I’m not sure about this. Don’t get me wrong, I would like uh that but…”
“Hey, hey, it’s okay” Harry lifted himself up from your stomach and crawled back up to face you properly again. His left hand rested next to your head now, supporting his body, as his other cupped your cheek, grounding you. “What is it? Talk to me.”
You stared up at him, overwhelmed by the concern in his eyes and how easily he could read you. He always knew when your thoughts spiralled or when the words tangled before they ever reached your lips.
“I don’t know.” You huffed, frustration palpable in your voice.
“You know, baby. I know you do.” Harry pushed gently, not wanting to be harsh, only to show you the way to go. His thumb brushed across your cheek in soothing circles, then tugged a strand of your hair behind your ear. “I need to know. Otherwise we can’t do anything. Yeah?”
“Did you… want to go down on me?” You asked him bluntly, swallowing the nerves with one question with a sudden rush of courage. You didn’t want to have the wrong idea about this, but you were very confident now in the growing knowledge you had.
The question lingered between you, fragile and exposed. He didn’t answer right away, his eyes searched for yours, not because he was unsure, but because he wanted to be careful with you. With this.
“Yeah, I did.” He said finally. Quiet, honest. “But only if you want me to. You know I’d never do anything you’re not comfortable with.”
Your chest tightened at his confession. The care and love that present in his words. You had thought about this type of act before, more than you would like to admit, especially with him in the picture. Still, you’d never truly believed it could happen to you. The thought thrilled you and terrified you all at once.
“I would want that with you, oh god yeah, but-” You stuttered over your words, hands curling nervously into the fabric beneath you. “It’s embarrassing.”
Harry’s expression softened instantly, something unguarded flickering across his face. He shifted closer, lowering himself so your foreheads touched, noses brushing, the weight of his body comfortingly enveloping you.
“Hey, look at me. Let me see those beautiful eyes.” He murmured softly, as if he was afraid to break this moment. His fingers didn’t stop at caressing your face, the soft touches continued despite the quiet tension humming in the air. “There you go, sweets.”
“There is nothing, and I mean nothing, embarrassing about this. Okay? But if you don’t feel like trying that, that’s okay too. I won’t be mad. Could never be.”
Your eyes searched his for anything that could be telling you a different story, even though deep down you knew he would never lie to you. Not when it came to this intimate topic that became more open between the two of you lately. All you found was patience. Understanding. That familiar warmth in the green of his eyes that had always made you feel safe.
“I didn’t shave.” You admitted at last, the words tumbling out in a rush, and squeezed your eyes shut immediately after, bracing yourself, suddenly mortified at your confession. Saying this out loud to your best friend of years felt mortifying.
“What?” Harry breathed out in disbelief, the corners of his mouth quivering upward into a small subtle smile.
“Forget about it. It’s stupid. This never happened. Why would it? Just… forget about it.” You dismissed the idea quickly, your words dripping with low confidence, the frantic opposite of his, breathless from how fast you tried to get out of this situation. You shoved at his chest, desperate to escape the weight of his gaze and hide in the safety of your bedroom. But he didn’t budge. He remained anchored above you, as unmovable as a stone.
“No, no, no…” He tutted softly at your vain attempt to flee. He caught your hand and placed it down by your body, before sliding his thumb over your bottom lip, drawing your eyes on his effectively. “Should that be a problem? That you didn’t shave your pussy?”
The bluntness of the question made you scrunch your nose. Even the most normal words sounded vulgar when they left his lips, and hearing him talk about those parts of you made your heart stutter.
“Harry!” You huffed in protest, heat flooding your cheeks. You shielded your face behind your hands, peeking at him occasionally through the narrow gaps between your fingers. “Don’t talk like that! I’m being serious here! It’s… it’s gross!”
“Gross? Oh, baby...” Harry shook his hand fondly at your distress. He covered your hand with his, not forcing them away from your face, but simply rubbing your knuckles in soothing motions, hoping it’d calm you down. “It’s not gross. A little pubic hair never killed anyone. Especially me.”
You could hear the smugness in his voice. The quiet pride of a man who knew exactly what he liked. You dared to open your eyes and peeked at him once more, only to be met with that wide grin and dimples in his cheeks you loved to poke. In that moment, you absolutely hated him for being so effortless.
“I’d have to kick every other girl out of my bed if I cared about them being shaved and perfectly smooth. I don’t mind it. It’s their body. Your body. It's not my place to fuss about it. And also it’s completely normal. You’re clean, you’re beautiful… your pubic hair could never gross me out.”
“I haven't showered yet today,…” You mumbled, the confession barely a whisper against your palms.
“Good for me then, I love when pussy smells like pussy.” Harry leaned forward, his lips brushing the shell of your ear with a teasing note. He had you. Slowly but surely cracking and opening up. He didn’t want you to be scared or embarrassed to talk about this. To him, it was human. Normal. And he wanted that for you too. He wanted you to know the pleasure of touch.
“I would like to try, it’s just…” You finally let your hands drop, resting them on your stomach as you began to pick at the hem of your shirt. Why was this so difficult to say out loud? “It’s weird. You being between my legs when I’m all- I don’t really know how to shave, okay? Like down there. Every time I try, I- I just end up with razor bumps and it’s so itchy.”
“Is that all, baby? Is that what bothers you?” He asked softly, receiving only a shy nod in response.
“Hey, it’s okay. There’s no need to be embarrassed.” He murmured, leaning in until his forehead rested against yours. “ I told you, I don’t mind the hair. It’s part of you. However you look down there, I still want you.”
He began to litter the side of your face with small, feather-like kisses, a deliberate distraction from the shame pooling in your chest. “And if you want to try this, but feel self-conscious about yourself, which again you don’t have to be, I can help with that. I want you to be comfortable, to feel nice. My sweet girl.”
Your heart gave a violent thud against your ribs, the rhythm ringing so loudly in your ears you were certain he could feel it through your skin. “Help me? How?”
“I mean I can do it for you,” He corrected gently. “I’ve been shaving my own face and groin since I was a teenager. I have a practice. Would prep your skin, shave you, use some oil to keep you nice and smooth so it doesn’t itch later. And then we can try something new. How does that sound, baby? Would you let me take care of you?”
The thought of having the most intimate parts exposed to Harry sent a shiver down your spine. It wasn’t the act itself that scared you as much as what he would think of you. Harry was close to being an expert. He’d seen so many women, held so many bodies, most likely perfect in every way. You felt so starkly different from the girls he usually had in his bed. The insecurities were loud in your head, making you often question why he would bother being this patient with someone this inexperienced like you. But the look in his eyes, so steady and sincere made you choose not to ask. You didn’t want to ruin whatever special was between the two of you.
“You’d really do that? You want to do that?” The disbelief in your voice made your words shake.
“Of course. You know I would do anything for you.” Harry smiled widely at your question and leaned down again, pressing a lingering kiss in the corner of your mouth. “I want to make you feel good.”
Another kiss, soft and slow.
“I want you to feel pretty and confident in your own skin. With me.”
A third kiss, more firm this time.
“I want to see you. Feel you. Know every inch.” He lingered there, his breath hot against your lips. “And if helping you with this means you don’t have to worry your little head over it later when my mouth’s on you… then let me do it.”
“You’re crazy.” A small smile finally made it on your lips. You took a moment to just look at him, memorizing every freckle and the familiar contour of his jaw once again, as if you didn’t know it already by heart.
“For you only, sweetheart.” He pecked your lips one last time before pulling away and standing up from the couch. He held out a hand, his expression bright and encouraging. “C’mon then. Lemme show you how it’s done.”
You remembered vividly the day you saw your apartment for the first time. It was barely a home, just a shell furnished with a single couch that had springs peeking through the fabric and you threw it away two weeks after moving in, and the squeaky bed Harry still slept in and somehow it survived the years. Kitchen big enough for dancing, living room promising your movie nights and two bedrooms you could call yours.
And then there was the bathroom. You heartily laughed when you saw it. The apartment was small, almost bursting at the seams while trying to accommodate two lives, yet it featured a massive, grand corner bathtub. It felt utterly ridiculous. But before you could even object, Harry was already signing the lease, seeing the landlord off with an infectious, excited grin.
At that time, you were living separately. It was the start of your years at university. Everything wild and new, yet you still made time for each other. You hung out after classes in the afternoons and evenings, had more study sessions, grabbed a coffee together whenever you could.
The big change in your lives happened one late evening in the library. Instead of studying, you poured your heart out to him, explaining your current situation that had been tugging at your nerves. Your roommate at that time had her boyfriend moving into your shared space and you knew sleeping on the couch in their new lover's nest couldn’t do it. And Harry? He was tired of the relentless noise of the frat house and craved more intimate space. It was a perfect match.
Now, given the new situation Harry brought you in, you couldn’t be happier about that ridiculous corner bathtub. It didn’t feel like a joke anymore, but a wide, warm space for the two of you to sit and explore. To learn. To be intimate.
When you stepped into the bathroom, you watched him, momentarily dazed. Maybe from the nerves that were quietly bubbling in your stomach. Maybe from something deeper. He tugged down his sweatpants and kicked them messily next to the hamper, leaving him clad only in a pair of black boxers. “Don’t want the sweatpants getting wet. Is this okay with you?”
You nodded slowly, your breath catching. You were mesmerised by him. Even though you had seen him like this countless times, the sight of his almost naked glory never failed to leave you in awe. The map of his tattoos and hard lines of his muscles. He was a man to die for.
“Now let’s get you out of these, yeah?” Harry murmured softly and stepped closer, pressing a lingering kiss to your forehead. He could sense the slight tremor of your nerves and made it his personal mission to ease every doubt.
He continued trailing feather-light kisses all over your face, the sensation making a breathless giggle escape your lips. Moving with agonizing slowness, his lips ghosting over your neck and chest, he sank to his knees in front of you, watching you with the most boyish grin and digging his fingers into the waistband of your shorts.
“My sweet girl… still doing alright?” Harry asked, his thumbs massaging the skin over your hipbones, putting the right amount of pressure, just to hold you close, before he pressed a lingering kiss to your stomach, waiting for you to give him a consenting nod.
Your skimpy shorts were tugged down your legs with ease, each foot guided out of the fabric and the garment tossed next to Harry’s discarded sweatpants. For a moment, everything stopped and Harry simply watched you, taking you all in. His eyes lingered on the plush curve of your thighs and soft texture of your skin. He traced the silver path of the stretch marks you usually tried to hide, the ones that made you feel exposed in the summer sun. And he loved it all.
Though your panties were still hidden beneath the hem of your oversized shirt, Harry’s calloused fingers found the lace easily. He kept his eyes locked on yours as he slowly stripped the last of your clothing away. Not looking, not pushing your shirt up to take a peek. He tossed your underwear aside and pressed one more reassuring kiss to your stomach before standing up to meet your lips.
“Thank you,” You breathed, reaching after him with shaky hands. Your head a mush of thoughts and feelings, and nothing has happened yet.
Harry moved around the bathroom with ease, prepping everything he needed by the bathtub as you quietly watched him, mentally taking notes. He brought your favourite candle from the living room to set the mood and set aside your bathrobe if you’d want it later. Just the smallest gestures made the knots in your stomach begin to loosen.
“You still sure about this?” He gently rubbed your arms when he stepped back towards you, perched on the edge of the tub and tugging on your shirt to keep yourself covered for a moment longer.
“Yeah. Yeah, I am. You’re- you’re being so nice about this…” You swallowed hard, standing tall in front of him as if to prove your resolve.
“Of course I am, baby. You deserve this.” Harry pecked your lips one last time and with a supportive squeeze on your shoulders, he stepped into the bathtub, settling onto the corner seat with his legs spread and patted his thigh. “Come here.”
You obediently climbed in after him, finding your footing on the ceramic before he guided you onto his lap, positioning you to his liking. With your back pressed against his bare chest and your legs draped over his knees, you were held open for him.
He felt a shiver run through your body when the cold air hit your bare core and pulled you closer, anchoring you in his strong arms. His lips ghosted over your neck again, peppering your skin with small kisses to calm you down. He couldn’t keep his mouth away from you.
“Is it okay if I take a peek now? Can I see you, love?” His voice was muffled against your skin, but the question was clear. You nodded quickly.
“Words, baby” Harry scolded you gently, his lips grazing your cheek.
“Yeah, it’s okay” You whispered in the quiet room, your eyes fluttering shut. You weren’t ready to face his reaction, or yourself.
Harry gathered the fabric of your shirt, bunching it just under your belly button with one hand, while the other started to slowly rub your thigh in a soothing manner. “So pretty. So so pretty. The prettiest.”
“Harry!” You huffed in protest, maybe an embarrassment. You tilted your head back against his shoulder and hid your face in the crook of his neck, your cheek turning red.
He trailed his fingers over your skin slowly before stopping at your mound and brushing your hair just briefly. With no judgment, no shame, only care. You were so precious to him. And so beautiful. Seeing this part of you didn’t just satisfy the curiosity that had been growing within him for a while, but made his heart skip a beat.
“Shhhh, baby. No need to fuss now. You are so beautiful,” Harry murmured against the shell of your ear. The vibration of his low voice sent a shiver down your spine that had nothing to do with the chill of the bathroom air. He pressed one more lingering kiss to the side of your neck for good measure, his stubble grazing your skin, before resting his chin on your shoulder. His gaze dropped, settling between your thighs with furrowed brows and focused look, yet some sort of adoration. “Open your eyes, sweetheart.”
With a shaky sigh, you mustered the courage and blinked your eyes open. The light in the bathroom felt bright and almost too harsh on your eyes, reflecting off the tiles, and making you feel painfully exposed. You took a second to adjust, your heart beating wildly against your ribs, before you reluctantly bowed your head to look down at yourself.
“I’m gross” You huffed and tilted your head back again.
“Baby!” He protested immediately, his voice taking on a more serious and scolding tone, demanding your attention. “You are not gross! You are the most beautiful sweet thing I’ve ever seen. Shaved or not. Understood? Don’t talk yourself down. You know I hate when you do that.”
“Okay,” You whispered, though your bottom lip stuck out in a pout.
Harry’s lips met your skin for the millionth time that night, his face snuggling into the crook of your neck. He stayed there for a moment, just breathing you in, offering the silent comfort he knew you needed. “We’re gonna start slow,” he promised, his breath hot against your throat. “I’ll trim the hair first, yeah? Nothing scary. Just me and you.”
He reached for the scissors he’d brought from the kitchen and with a final, reassuring kiss to your shoulder, he started working on his promise. The sharp snipping sound of the blades was the only sound that cut through the heavy silence, mixed with the ragged breathing of yours. You tried to get a hold of yourself, but the air felt thick with a mix of tension and vulnerability.
His fingers moved with precision, careful not to touch your core or your skin directly yet. Occasionally, the brush of the cold metal against your thigh made you shiver, but his steady presence kept you grounded.
“All done!” Harry announced in a soft murmur, knowing you had your eyes still squeezed shut and not watching a single thing. “Can you look at me? Sweetheart, can I see your eyes?”
He reached up, cupping your cheek with his large hand, and guided your face toward his. When you finally looked up at him, it felt like his eyes were staring through your soul. You felt like you could drown in the forest-green of his eyes and die a happy woman.
“Please, baby, don’t be scared with me,” He pleaded softly. “I want to make you feel good.”
He leaned in, pecking your lips before nuzzling his nose against yours. It was a tender, domestic gesture that shattered the last of your defences. You whimpered in the kiss, chasing his lips when he tried to pull away, seeking the safety of his mouth. You kissed him deeply, desperately, trying to silence every single thought in your head.
Every single whisper of ”You’re fat. You’re ugly. You’re disgusting. Your stretch marks look horrible. How can Harry even like you? You’re never gonna be like the girls he sleeps with.” lost all the importance in this moment. The thoughts were there, but turned more distant with the weight of Harry’s strong arms around your frame and the solid, muscular chest pressed against your back.
Harry moved on to the next step of the routine with a focused, quiet intensity. He ran a soft washcloth under the tap, waiting until the water was steaming, nearly scalding, before wringing it out carefully. He watched the steam curl off the fabric, then he pressed it gently against your skin.
You felt tears prickle in the corners of your eyes at the feeling. Your hips buckled instinctively into his touch at the contrasting temperature and you reached back, your fingers gripping his hand where it rested steady on your waist.
“Mhm Harry” You whimpered quietly and intertwined your fingers. As the warmth soaked into your skin, your body began to go pliant, your muscles finally unspooling.
“I know, I know. You’re doing so good for me, baby. Is this still alright? We can stop anytime.” Harry nosed at your warm cheek and pressed a lingering salt-sweet kiss there.
“I’m okay, I’m okay,” The words tumbled out of your mouth in a rush, carrying a hint of nerves as you spoke. “Don’t stop,” You added quickly after. The mere thought of him pulling away now made your pulse thrum with a sudden, desperate need.
His hand kept working on your core with confident strokes, softening your skin. He touched you everywhere yet purposely avoided your most intimate center, though you found yourself secretly craving that contact.
Harry sprayed a generous amount of shaving cream in his palm and spread it over your mound. The sound broke the comfortable silence and the typical masculine smell of sandalwood and menthol that you always associated with him hit your nose. He added some more to where your thighs meet your groin and when he was satisfied with his soapy artwork, he reached for a razor.
“Are you taking notes?” He hummed in your ear in the teasing tone you knew all too well in an attempt to ease the heavy atmosphere.
“Uhuh” You bobbed your head, your hands shaking slightly as you reached down to wipe away some of the shaving cream that got on your inner thigh.
“Good. Means next time we can get straight to the good stuff,” Harry sealed his promise with a kiss to the bare skin of your shoulder where your shirt had slipped down and rested his chin there as he looked over between your parted legs.
You tried to settle deeper into his lap, wiggling your legs as much as your current position you allowed it and shaking out your arms to shed the last of your nerves. Harry let out a soft, low chuckle at your movement before he went to work.
The cool steel of the razor brushed against you in the most delicate, precise strokes. He was methodical, rinsing the blade under the water after every two or three passes to get rid of the hair and cream, making sure the process was perfect. He whispered words of encouragement in your ear every so often, sweet and full of love, worshiping you till you were putty in his hands, a masterpiece of his own, and bare to his eyes completely.
“See? It wasn’t that bad” He grinned and set the razor aside on the edge of the tub. He looked down at his work with a sense of pride; there wasn't a single hair left.
“It’s just gonna itch anyway,” You huffed and blinked your eyes open to take a look yourself. Your old struggles tried to make an appearance again, rather a final stand. The job he had done couldn’t ever compare to all your poor attempts at shaving.
“Don’t underestimate me, baby” Harry tutted at your pessimistic deflection and gave your bare mound a playful slap, making you let out a tiny yelp in reaction and squeeze your thighs around his hand instinctively.
“We’re not done yet. One more thing…” He reached for a small bottle on the ledge, squeezing a few droplets of the post-shave balm in his palm.
As he began to rub the soothing cream into your skin, you let out a happy sigh and without any more coyness spread your legs wider, sinking further in his lap, giving him every ounce of access he could want. Harry massaged the balm in thoroughly, every curve and dip of your body until the skin was glowing and soft.
“Look at you, my sweet girl, all nice and smooth for me.” Harry’s voice had dropped an octave, turning deep and rough around each syllable, and wrapping around you like a vine. “Can I touch you now? Do I have your permission? Can I make you feel good with my mouth?”
“Please,” You whispered, your voice wavering at the rasp in his tone and suggestive questions.
“Alright, baby. Up you go,” Harry patted your inner thigh twice before unhooking your legs from his knees. He helped you stand up between his spread thighs, his large hands steadying you as you stepped out of the bathtub. The tiled floor didn’t feel so cold anymore given how much your body had heated up.
Harry followed the pattern closely and joined your side. He intertwined his fingers with yours in a grounding grip before leading the way out of the bathroom, and you followed him like a lost puppy.
The bedroom door clicked shut behind you in a whisper of a sound, sealing you and your best friend into the quiet intimacy of your room. The sheets in your bed were messy, you completely forgot to make your bed this morning, and there were clothes scattered all over the floor you had to put in the washing machine, but Harry didn’t seem to care one bit. He welcomed himself in like he always did.
“Still sure about this? You can change your mind, love, it’s okay” He pulled you closer by your hip until there wasn’t any space between your bodies, his other hand reaching up to tug a stray lock of hair behind your ear.
“I want to try. I trust you.” You nuzzled in his palm like a cat seeking scratches, so innocent with bubbling need in your stomach and desperation dripping between your thighs.
Harry leaned down, ghosting a kiss over the corner of your mouth before claiming the center of your lips. He tilted your head just so, easing you into a slow, languid pace. His hands began a restless journey, brushing over your shoulders, tracing the dip of your back, and cupping the curve of your bum, before he hooked his arms under your thighs and hoisted you up.
“There we go, baby.” He set you down on the mattress carefully, his wide frame instantly caging you in. His knee slid between yours, forcing your legs apart to make room for him. “Let’s go slow, yeah? We’re gonna just kiss now…”
You nudged his nose with yours, seeking him out until he finally gave in, crashing his lips back onto yours. Soft pecks deepened into heavy make outs and your whimpers turned into quiet moans.
Slowly, his mouth moved downward, marking your jaw and the sensitive column of your neck. He sucked a mark on the untouched skin, then over the reddening spot to soothe the sting. It was a claim. A promise. You felt him grow hard in his boxers when his bulge brushed against your bare core, a bit of your arousal smearing over the black fabric, making you nearly choke on a gasp.
“So good for me, my sweet girl…” Harry murmured against your stomach, this time without the distribution of your insecurities chanting in your head. They were silenced now by the sheer intensity of his focus. He squeezed your hips softly in reassurance as he looked up at you with hooded eyes. You’d never seen this look on him before. Messy hair, swollen lips and unspoken promise in his eyes. “Can I make you feel good, baby? Can I taste you? Please?”
“Yeah, yeah” You let out a shuddered breath and tilted your head back into the pillows, closing your eyes.
Harry took the hem of your shirt and bunched the fabric just under your belly button, revealing your naked half to him like the most delicate present. Everything stopped for a moment. He stared at you with something more than lust and passion. He took you whole in. The plush tummy, the stretch marks on your thighs, your bare core. You looked divine.
“Fuck,” He murmured under his breath, suddenly lost at words he had a full dictionary of just a minute before.
“Fuck, baby” He repeated.
“Ugh I knew this is stupid, I look-” You huffed in frustration at Harry’s lack of reaction and tried to squeeze your thighs shut, the familiar shame rising like a tide. But Harry was faster. He held your legs open by your inner thighs, letting out a sharp scolding tut.
“No! Don’t hide yourself! Can you look at me, please, sweetheart?” He dipped his thumbs in the muscles of your thighs and massaged them gently, rubbing the tension that appeared again away, his eyes locked on yours. “You’re beautiful. So fucking beautiful. You’re perfect. There aren’t enough words to just… fuck, baby, if you could see yourself in my eyes!”
You shook your head, hot tears threatening to spill as you squeezed your eyes shut. It felt too good to be real. An insane twist in your reality.
“You’re so pretty,” He pressed a kiss to the inside of your knee before resting your right leg on his shoulder.
“My perfect girl,” He nuzzled his nose in your skin, kissing his way up your thigh at deliberate pace.
“With the most perfect body,” He bit your inner thigh gently.
“Perfect soul,” He traced your stretch marks with his tongue.
“Perfect little pussy,” He sighed and rested his cheek against your other thigh for a heartbeat, watching you unconsciously clench around nothing. “Just for me. All for me…”
“I’m gonna touch you now, okay? Gonna kiss it better,” Harry said softly. He could see the lingering tension in the way you held your breath, and he was determined to erase every intrusive thought until your mind was nothing but a haze of ecstasy.
He kissed around your core at first, at the junction of your thighs, before moving upward to pepper the freshly shaved skin with tender pecks. Your legs were spread wide for him and he accommodated himself quickly as if it was a new place to call home. His right hand remained on your thigh stroking soothing circles, while his left reached up to find yours. He intertwined his fingers with yours, squeezing firmly as if to say “I’ve got you.”
Harry reached down, his touch light as a feather as he pulled up the clitoral hood and exposed your little clit to the cool air before he replaced it with the warmth of his breath. Your hips buckled up from the mattress, a quiet whimper escaping your lips. Then, finally, he leaned in to make the first contact and pressed a lingering kiss to that bundle of nerves, swirling his tongue around before he began to suck.
“Harry!” You cried out and squeezed his hand so tightly your knuckles turned white.
“Shhhh,” Harry pulled away from your clit just long enough to look at you and used two fingers to spread you open, licking a long, torturingly slow strip with his tongue. He let out a low hum against your skin, tasting the honey-like sweetness of your arousal. “You’re doing perfect, baby. Taste so sweet…”
He kept his eyes on you the whole time, devouring your reaction, mapping every gasp, every hitch in your breath, how loud your moans got when he found the right spot. He worked on you thoroughly with the expert precision of someone who had done this a thousand times, yet with the type of care that was only for you.
If heaven existed on earth, you were surely in the center of it. A dizzying heat began to pool in your stomach, spreading until your limbs felt heavy and light all at once. Your fingers fisted in the messy sheets, your toes curling as the tension built.
“Tell me how you feel, sweetheart” Harry murmured against your core, his thumb rubbing grounding circles over your knuckles.
“Good—oh god, Harry, it feels so good!” You cried out when he quickened the speed of his tongue and dipped into your entrance, fucking your tight hole with his hot muscle in relentless pace. You were melting in his hands, a puddle of need and wetness dripping on his tongue.
Harry caught your clit between his thumb and forefinger, giving it a playful, light squeeze that made you arch your back completely off the mattress and buckle your hips in his face, before he started rubbing it in quick circular motions.
“Harry please!” You moaned embarrassingly loud in the quiet space of your bedroom and dug your fingers into Harry’s long hair without giving it a second thought. You held onto the roots and tugged at them every time he dived deeper in your core, receiving pleased grunts from him at the friction.
“That’s a good girl! Such a perfect, sweet girl! Lemme hear you! Lemme hear how good I make you feel!” The tone of his voice was smug and cocky, yet held the underlying care for you.
Harry brought his focus back on your clit, his tongue flicking against you with a wide, wicked grin when he saw your mouth fall open in pure bliss. He wrapped his lips around it and sucked vigorously until you were a writhing mess beneath him.
The sound of your loud moans and the taste of your arousal made Harry painfully hard. He ground his hips into the mattress, trying to find some relief for the ache in his boxers, but it did nothing to settle the fire in his blood. He felt his dick leaking, pre-cum soaking into the dark fabric of his underwear, his own climax triggered simply by the sight of you.
He pressed his index finger on your opening and dipped just the first inch in, testing the waters, gauging your reaction, teasing. You were so tight. An innocent thing that has never been touched in these places. Just the thought of how you would feel around his fingers, or worse around his shaft, made him moan loudly.
The unfamiliar heat in your lower belly suddenly exploded, a violent wave that crashed over your entire body. Drops of sweat were dripping down your forehead and sticking your hair on your face. You shook, your legs trembling and as the orgasm took hold of you.
You were beautiful. Breath taking. The most perfect innocent creature Harry ever had the chance to hold. The sight of you coming undone is his arms, thanks to him and him only, his skilful mouth and hands, did wonders to his ego and his heart alike.
Harry held you through the peak tightly, slurping on your wetness like you were his last dinner to prolong your orgasm as much as he could, all while coming into his boxers.
“Mhm, there you go. Coming for me like a good girl,” Harry encouraged in a breathy murmur. Only when you began to jerk your hips away from the overstimulation, he finally moved, crawling up the bed until he was hovering over you.
“Harry!” You gasped, tears from the release streaming down your face. You held onto his hand so tightly you thought you might actually bruise him.
“Shhhhhh, it’s okay. You’re okay, I’m right here,” Harry whispered. He cradled your cheek gently in his palm, his thumb wiping away your tears. “You were perfect. Came so hard for me, love. I’m so proud of you.”
“Yeah?” You breathed out and finally blinked your eyes open to meet the greenery of his own. You were caught in a blissful, floaty headspace that you never wanted to leave.
“Yeah. You were so good for me, sweetheart” He pressed a tender kiss to your sweaty forehead, tucking a damp strand of hair behind your ear. He was looking at you with a new kind of intensity, something even deeper than what you were used to from him. But you couldn’t tell the real meaning behind his gaze. “My sweet, sweet girl.”
His boxers were wet, cum sticking uncomfortably to his skin, but he didn’t care a single bit. This moment was about you. He held you through the aftershocks, murmured words of praise against your temple and stroked your skin delicately. He didn’t want to ever leave this moment either.
“Can- can I have a kiss?” You whispered shyly when your breathing finally started to evening out and your body relaxed, turning into a mix of tired limbs.
“Of course you can have a kiss,” Harry laughed heartily at your innocent request and angled your face to his with a gentle grip on your chin, kissing you softly on your lips. The taste of your own cum immediately hit your tastebuds when Harry licked into your mouth, making you moan quietly.
“All good?” He hummed against your lips, pulling back just enough to see your face. He couldn’t get enough of this sight. A sight only he had the privilege to witness. Noticing your limbs unclenched and your body grew more pliant to his touch, he rested some of his weight on your body, his semi-hard dick nuzzling against your inner thigh.
“Mhm- what is- Harry, did you come too?” You whimpered in sudden realisation when you felt the wet fabric of his boxers against your skin and looked down between your bodies with furrowed brows.
“Yeah, I did.” He admitted sheepishly. “Couldn’t help myself, baby. You do things to me.”
You watched the outline of his dick dumbly, noticing the slight twitch when Harry moved his hips against your thigh to get more comfortable. You couldn’t wrap your head around the fact that you did this to him. A small, timid smile crossed your lips, and you sank back into the pillows, letting the weight of this moment settle over you.
“I’m so so so proud of you, baby” Harry repeated softly and slid his hand down to rub your hip in soothing motions. “Were so brave. My good girl.”
“Can we do this again soon?”
“Mhm we can try tomorrow again if you want. And maybe next time, I’ll get more than just one orgasm out of you…” Harry’s grin widened. He was already imagining a dozen different ways to worship you. “But let’s get you cleaned up first, yeah? Don’t want you staying all sticky and sweaty.”
