Torn

Chapter 28

AN: Really sleepy, but I saw the Dunkirk trailer and even though Harry isn't there I got pumped up! :)

Harry...

I could spend all day just staring at her and I won't regret any single thing about it.

She was still fast asleep, much to my pleasure – curled beside me with her head pillowed on my shoulder. I reach out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, but she doesn't rouse the slightest.

We've been in Cumbria for almost a week now, and already I've lost count of the number of times I've woken up to her bare body beside me, and as pompous as that may sound, I am very over the fucking moon with it. I revel in it naturally, perfectly aware that once we go back to our duties, the closest I'll probably ever have her is within the reach of my stare.

With a slight huff I stand up, not giving the slightest bit of shit with my nudity as I pace around the room for a few seconds. I gave out a hiss – making sure it was to stay inaudible though, when I saw her stir, cursing my clumsy self for my noise.

She drifted to her deep slumber as soon as she shuffled to the middle of the bed. Her antics making me smile as her hand unconsciously searched for me in the plush mattress. Still intent on prolonging her rest, I reach out to my vacated pillow and drag it closer to her, the effect immediate as she cuddled onto it. Sitting down on the edge by her side, I again, gingerly rid her face of a few wayward brunette threads. I've always admired the different looks she can come up with just by dabbing different colors. But my absolute favorite is seeing her in the morning with her face free of everything other than her attractive complexion. Add that to the image of her naked form on my sheets then damn!

Might as well consider me a dead man.

I could feel the early morning signs of arousal as my blood started to travel south and I took that as my cue to stand up and get dressed. I am the bloody reason she's still in the sack, no need to disrupt her rest just to shove my dick inside her. Though the idea does make me twitch.

Great, trust her to make me horny like a rabbit in mating season.

I pick up my discarded clothes and start putting them on only to pause once I held my jeans in my hands. This was going to be fucking painful.

It takes me a few minutes to kill my excitement, all thanks to the thoughts of my nan in her swimwear. I know that's pretty disrespectful to the old lady, but I do love that healthy horse and times like this, she's the fastest escape route.

I descend the stairs, deciding to cook breakfast for my beautiful lady. My enthusiasm however was quick to plummet as soon as I am greeted by the depleting ingredients in the cupboard. Makes sense though, since we opt to restock only when someone would stay in the Villa.

So much for the Brioche French toast and Peaches, looks like I'm going out instead.

I dash back up in record time, grabbing her keys and my ray bans to go out and grab something to nibble, but not before scribbling a note down.

Hey Babe,

Went out to buy some food. Let me know if you want something, be back in a few.

Kiss me good morning, yeah? :)

xx

H.

It's cute! I like that, it's your trademark.

Instantly, my lips twitched up as I recalled her line the first time I wrote her a note with my initial as signature. Seeing her smile like that, I've decided to use it ever since. After placing a kiss on her forehead, I secure the note on the side table and go back down.
