Tenebrous [h.s]

Chapter 07

𝒵ℴℯ'𝓈 𝒫𝒪𝒱:

He throws me on the bed but he doesn't climb on top of me. He stares down on me while he takes his coat and his shirt off.

I can't stop myself from staring down on his god-like body. I lick my lips with hunger consuming my senses. I take off the coat he gave me earlier and he takes one of my ankles in his hand. He proceeds to untie the lace up heels. He pokes his tongue out because he is struggling. He looks cute.

He finally takes it off and throws it behind his back and I hear it hit the wall, with a smile full of mischief plastered on his face. Typical Harry. He takes off the other one with ease this time. Pride overtakes his features.

"Now that those are off, climb in the centre' of the bed, like the good girl you are."His voice is commanding. Full of dominance.

I listen to him and climb up the bed looking into his eyes, the whole time. "Harry, I'm everything but a good girl."

"Hmmm, prove it to me." He says while taking off his belt and climbing over me. He took a hold of my knees and separated and caressed my inner thighs.

"Your skin is so soft." The contrast of his rough digits on my smooth skin. They way he touches my body. He is worshipping every curve, every scar. The butterflies are having a fit in my stomach. He continues by poking his tongue out and gliding it from the inner side of my knee to the tattoo on my left thigh and he pecks it. I gasp. Fuck no.

He stopped, he felt the scar when he kissed the tattoo. He raises his head and his face is suddenly on top of mine. I try to avoid his gaze, his hot breath hitting my cheek. Who would want to explain anything now. He grabs my chin in between his two fingers and tilts my head and urges me to look at him. He goes to speak but I stop him.

"Look, this is not killing our mood and I'm not explaining anything until after I fuck you. Understand that pretty boy?

He stifles a laugh and his head falls on my neck. I kiss the top of his head out of reflex. His head jerks up and he looks at me in disbelief.

"I'm letting this slide because I have something and someone to please." His eyes scan my body from head to toe. 

I grab his face and kiss him with every fiber of my being. He is caught so off guard that his hands give out and he falls on top of me. We both start hysterically laughing.

What is he doing to me? Oh god no. I think about him every day, I steal glances every chance I get. He has become my person of reassurance and safety. How can someone who has been treated so harshly and wrongly, who thought they aren't capable of love, start having faith in people? The laughs are fading away, silence overtakes us. Here, in this hotel room tangled in bed together I now realize what is happening to me.

I'm falling for him.

"What are you doing to me Zoe?"

"I was asking myself the same question Harry."

Our faces etched with excitement for the future but I can see the worry and fear in his eyes. That's why he is holding back. He will never admit it but he is scared. He is silent, he knows what to say but he is hesitating. I grab his face in my hands. He can see it in my eyes as well. We both comprehend what we want but both of us are obviously worried.

"How about we figure it out together? No matter how long it takes." Harry says

"No matter how long it takes." I repeat with a smile on my face.

He kisses me. It's slow, we are making out but the thing is; it doesn't lead anywhere. Neither of us initiates anything more. My hands are roaming his body but they end up around his neck and in his hair. His hands rest on my hips. In one swift motion he has turned us on our sides. We break the kiss and look at each other.

"I can't promise anything, Zoe." Harry says our foreheads are resting against each other.

"Neither can I." It was a whisper. Just for him to hear.

He pulls me closer to his almost naked body. We are now cuddling. We fell asleep tangled together.

The future between us is uncertain but I'm sure I'm going to enjoy the ride.

Author's Note:

Really really short chapter. 

The fact that we started with the mindset of writing smut, needless to say we changed the whole course of the book.

We go with the flow. That is the fun part of writing. 

Till the next one. See ya.

Love you minions <3

All the love 𝒜&𝒱
