Life in the middle-Harry Styles Fanfic AU COMPLETED

Chapter 36

HARRY'S POV

"I want you so badly my love" I say my breaths fasten as I hear her say my name. I bury my head into her chest and spread small kisses and tiny love bites around her torso.
I can barely control myself. I want her and need her emotionally and physically but I'm not sure which I do more?

I stop and look up at her, she looks so beautiful standing there in front of me, natural with no inhibitions.
I lick my lips because my mouth feels dry and my stomach is flipping me out. I look at her then look away.

I know that tonight has clarified it in my mind.
I'm in love with this women. All of her and everything about her. The good and the bad. She doesn't scare me because she needs help or because her moods change so quickly. I love her and I need to tell her. Now.
I feel her thumb on my bottom lip and I move my mouth to kiss her palm and look up at her, to see she is watching me, unsure somehow.

I need to say it now, before I take her. I don't want her to think it's lust that comes with making love that's talking but me. I look away then back at her, her beautiful brown eyes stare into mine and I decide to let go of my fear.
"I think I'm in love with you" the words tumble out of my mouth, my accent sounding so strong. I don't dare to look away from her.
She looks down, her hand is still at my mouth and I grab it with my right hand.
She looks stunned but she recovers quickly.
"Why?" She asks meekly

Why? Why have I fallen for this girl. This girl with the ability to create something beautiful with her hands. This girl that was so vulnerable when I first met her and feisty the next time I saw her. I love that I know regardless of which mood I get she is strong but doesn't realise it yet. It's like she's stuck, stuck in the middle of herself, not going backwards but does not recognise her achievements in going forward.
This girl that made me feel again, feel with my heart and soul that I could be happy with her because I've fallen in love with her.
"Why? Because you ask me why? You don't know how much you mean to me Echo. And as for why, well why not love?"
She gives me a smile and try's to pull her hand away but I can't let her go, I see the mood shift in her eyes. She's afraid.
I place my left hand on the bottom of her back and pull her towards me, as I shift on the bed and lay down taking her with me.
She pulls her weight off my while using her elbow, her strands of fallen hair tickle my face but I don't move.

"I'm scared" she begins "that you don't really know me, that if you get to really know me you'll run. And what about your home, England? You will be leaving soon. It's too complicated Harry" she looks away and it breaks my heart.
"Nothing is easy Echo, life's not meant to be but I can't help the way I feel about you, please give it a chance?" I plead with her and I feel her body relax.
She looks at me her eyes wide.
"I love you too Harry, I think I have felt like that for a while but I didn't know how to say it, if you'd care or mock me"
I hold her tight.
"Never, baby. I love you for who you are, all of you" she smiles at me and it's slightly wicked. I feel myself getting turned on again, and I realise she's naked but I'm not.

"I want you, I need you right now" she whispers and moves to sit up.
I hold on to her thinking she's going to leave but she smiles at me and says she's not going anywhere. She's moved simply to make it easier for us to remove my clothes. When everything is off, she lays back on top of me but I pull her under me. She doesn't resist.
I kiss her deeply, and nibble at her tongue and lips. The word 'fuck' leaves her lips and I smile my mouth still on hers.
I enter her and she arches her back and her hips meet mine. She is so hot and I love to watch as her face can't hide the pleasure she's feeling.
"Do you feel good baby?" I ask her because I want to know and I need to know.
I need to know that she wants me as much as I want her.
"Uh-ha" she nods her head.
"Tell me" I need to hear it.
"You feel so good inside me Harry, don't let me go" she pleads. We work each other up until we are both to our limits and I don't know who gets there first or if we both did together, but when we have I lay next to her and run my fingers up and down her body. She turns to me and puts her arms around me and gives me a soft kiss.
"I love you Harry" she says as her breathing slows.
I smile at her because she has made me the happiest man.
"I love you too my love" I reply and we both just lay in each others arms until she falls asleep before I do.
