Harry

While Liv sleeps on my chest I can't help but replay the entire night in my head. After I left her on the patio of the bar, I could not stop thinking about what almost happened. She was so close to kissing me. I knew she would have done it if Liam hadn't interrupted me. That entire afternoon during rehearsals I couldn't help but hold onto my annoyance at him. I know it's completely backwards that I would be annoyed at him, but I can't shake the feeling. He really does have the worst timing. Or the best depending on what side you're looking at it from. When we got done and went back to the bar Liv was completely wasted. Again. No doubt trying to ignore the feelings she's starting to realize she has for me. Instead of joining the group I decide to play it a different way. I spot a group of girls across the patio and decide to do a little experiment. I want to see just how much of a reaction I can get out of her

I single out one of the girls in the group. Easily the loosest and wildest of the bunch. Ashley is just my usual type. Or old type I guess I should say. She's nearly as tall as I am, thin as a board, long blond hair, definitely not afraid to show a little skin. I know from the minute I started flirting with her, Liv noticed. And it only became more obvious when we got to the pool. I made it seem like we were fooling around before meeting the group but really she was just taking forever to get ready. But the way Liv immediately stripped off her t-shirt, giving me an eyeful of her gorgeous body underneath, I know she was showing off.

I was pretty happy with my plan all night. That is, until the nasty girl started running her mouth. I still can't believe the things she said to Liv. She was obviously pissed off that she wasn't able to tear my attention away from her and felt the need to knock her down a few pegs. After that I was done with the charade. I walked her back to her room and laughed when she slammed the door in my face after I told her I wasn't going to stay the night with her. After that I went back to my room for a bit. But like an addict, I couldn't stay away from her for too long. I needed my fix. When I got downstairs the pool was dark. I snuck in the store room to see if maybe they were hiding from security or something but nobody was in sight. I did happen to see Liv's phone sitting on the table so I grabbed it, thankful for an excuse to make her talk to me tomorrow. Just as I was about to leave, I went to open the door and none other than the object of my affection was standing on the other side. Or stumbling is probably a better adjective.

I took the opportunity to taunt her some more. It's so easy to get under her skin. When she led me into the store room I sat down, preparing for her to yell at me. She's nothing if not stubborn. So it took me by surprise when she broke down at the mention of Ashley. I hated seeing her so upset, knowing it was ultimately my fault. So I completely forgot about the game I had been playing and told her just how truly amazing I think she is. Imagine my surprise when as soon as I stopped pushing her, she gave into me.

Kissing Liv was somehow even better than I imagined it would be. I think, somewhere in my mind, I didn't think it would every actually happen. So when her lips crashed into mine, I was definitely surprised. But that didn't stop me from kissing her back with everything I had. Her mouth was hot and needy on mine. Her hands, pulling our bodies together until there wasn't even a centimeter of space between us. With her hands in my hair and her soft tongue teasing mine, I knew I couldn't stop it if I wanted to. I wanted to do so much more than kiss her. It took so much restraint not to go further. But in the back of my mind I knew she wasn't in the clearest state of mind. I wanted her, so badly, but not like that. But I'm no saint. Feeling her skin under my hands, I couldn't help but crave more. I let my hands wander up her from their resting place on her hips until they were under her bikini top. I loved that even though my hands are fairly large, she still nearly filled them. And I could tell she was enjoying my touch too. Besides the obvious way her nipples hardened at my touch, there were the soft moans of approval that were muffled against my mouth. When we finally slowed down my head was spinning. That was the best time I've ever spent just kissing someone.
