Temptations [Niall Horan]

Chapter 33

"I love ya. I love ya so much," Niall whispered.

I woke up with my head buried in his chest, his lips continuously pressing to my forehead.

I hadn't realized it, but I'd been crying all night. That's how broken I was.

When he noticed I was awake, Niall leaned down, tenderly taking my lips in his.

"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry ya have to go through this. But ya need to stop crying. That's not goin' to solve anything," he whispered as we pulled away.

I sniffled, my eyes puffy and hurting from having cried all night. "I know," I choked out, examining his golden locks in between my fingers.

I looked up at him, a sad look on his face. He leaned down, lips grazing my neck. I held my breath as he planted kisses all over it, lightly sucking on my tender skin.

His kisses traveled to my jaw, sucking and lightly dotting it. "Merry Christmas baby," he whispered, kissing the spot just below my ear.

I sighed, trying to compose myself.

"Merry Christmas," I mumbled, clinging onto him. Niall smiled a little against my skin, running his nose along my cheek. He nudged my nose with his, leaning in further to take my lips captive with his again.

As he kissed me, I slowly began to feel the pain go away. I didn't need my family. They weren't there for me before, so what was the difference now? Niall was all I needed. Niall and Becca and Kate.

I sighed into his mouth, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him closer. Our lips continued to move in sync as he took my pain away, coaxing me into a deeper euphoria with his tender kisses.

I gasped as he quickly moved to suck on my neck again, this time harshly nipping my skin.

"N-Niall... W-we can't do this here..." I whispered, my fingers digging into his hair again.

He chuckled against my skin, continuing to work on me.

"Mm c'mon baby... How about a little Christmas fun to take your mind off things?"

I slapped his back, a small smile forming on my face.

"No. Not here."

"Aw come on, please? In the shower then..." He begged, running his nose along my shoulder.

"No! You'll get a reward soon enough... Besides, your family is downstairs waiting for us..." I sighed.

He groaned, nodding and pecking my lips.

"Alright alright... So you're okay then?" He asked, his eyes searching mine.

I nodded, taking a deep breath.

"Who needs them, right?" I weakly smiled.

"That'a girl," he muttered, leaning in and kissing me again. I smiled, giggling as he pulled away.

He smiled back, lifting me and carrying me downstairs where everyone was waiting for us.

The minute we entered the kitchen, I was engulfed in a giant hug from Maura.

"Oh dear... Oh Ronnie, I'm so so sorry, honey! Im so sorry!"

I sighed, glancing at Niall.

He must've explained what had happened.

"Mum... Mum stop. Please," he stated flatly.

I forced a small smile as she pulled away, looking into my eyes.

She smiled apologetically, holding my hands.

"Niall told us about what happened... You're always welcome here, Ronnie, always. Don't ya forget that."
