Liv's POV

Harry's mouth touches my neck, his tongue licking softly over the spot he kissed.

Having his mouth on my neck is sending me over the edge.

His right hand moves up from my hip to the small of my back, his fingers sliding up under the bottom of his shirt and mine, touching my bare skin. I feel the goosebumps instantly.

"Hot...that's so hot, Livvie...the way you respond to my touch." He says, quietly. "Is this ok, that I touch you like this?"

"Yes..."

I can't speak. Even getting out the word, 'yes', was difficult.

His hand slides up further until his whole hand is against my back. His mouth kisses my neck, moving up to my ear. He gently bites my ear lobe.

My fingers did into his shoulders and I feel my heart racing. Again I can't control it, sucking in my breath in response to his touch. His own response pulses against my thigh.

Fuck...I can't...stop. I grind my hips against him. He fully hardens, pushing back.

He pulls back suddenly, letting go of my back, my hair. His hands coming up away from me, like I was hot to the touch. He runs one through his hair and takes a deep breath.

"Livvie...you can't, I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to let it go this far. Honestly, my intention was really only to kiss you. Fuck." He says, flustered.

I freaked him out.

"Harry, it's ok. I'm fine...I wanted this too."

Please don't stop.

"I think we should slow down. Just take a minute..." He says.

Ok. Sure. I crawl off him, getting down from the table. The ache is there, in my lower abdomen, the desire...that just got crushed.

"Listen, don't take this the wrong way. I want this too....but, I just...I don't want to rush you." He says, looking at me.

"RUSH me?! Harry, this isn't my first time. I'm not some naive teenager, controlled by my hormones, unable to control myself."

Well....at least the part about being not a teenager was true.

"No, course not. I just meant...I have respect for women. I don't pressure them...and you and I, right now, our emotions are on high...I feel like I need to step back and slow the fuck down. For both of us."

I'm staring. Speechless. Partly because I'm still breathing pretty fast and my head is spinning, but....

"Are you serious, did I do something?" He was so into it. Could I have done something to turn him off?

Uh, idiot. Did he seemed turned off? NO.

"Oh, no. No, Livvie. Not AT ALL." He says, standing up.

Hot. He may want to stop, but the buldge in his skinny jeans, is saying something else.

I grin, covering my mouth with my hand. I really don't want to embarrass him.

He laughs, looking down and adjusting. "I think you can see I'm into you. I'm just trying to be the good guy here, and back away before we take this too far, too fast. Remember I told you, I wouldn't let it go too far?"

"Mmm, I remember." I say. I was hoping he didn't mean that.

"Let's try backing up a few steps. Can we go back to talking for a bit? Tell me something about yourself...something nobody else knows. Are you comfortable with that? I'll do the same." He says, sitting back down on the floor and laying down on his back.
