Afraid - H.S - Under Heavy Editing

Ch. 26

Harry's POV

Alyssa fell asleep on the way home, she looked absolutely stunning. I couldn't get over how much I loved that dress on her. I'd like it even better on my bedroom floor, I thought. I remembered her in her underwear, when I gave her a bath, now that she's filled out some I can't help but imagine what she looks like.

I look over at her and she had a pained look on her sleeping face; about a minute later she woke up crying. I quickly pulled over the car as she tried to calm herself down.

Luckily there weren't that many cars around because of the late hour. I put the car in park and unbuckled our seatbelts. I tried to pull her into my lap but she refused.

"I've gained weight." She said quietly.

I pulled her into my lap anyways.

"Alyssa, you're perfect. I don't want someone who's too skinny. Plus I like a little pressure on my hips." I whispered in her ear. She shivered and blushed.

She sat in my lap with her back facing the door window and her feet where mine were, but she turned to straddle my hips now. Her bold move caught me off guard. But I still placed my hands on her waist, holding her.

She laid her head into the crook of my neck.

"This time it happened. He actually did it. And the worst part, you came but it was too late, and even worse than that I..." she cut herself off.

I rubbed her back and her hair, shushing her.

"What was the worst part?" I asked her. She lifted off of my chest and looked me in the eyes, she was crying, but she was still beautiful.

She sighed. "I-I f-felt the pain..." she said leading off. I brushed a fly away curl out of her face.

"That happens sometimes. We feel things that don't really happen, like this one time I had a dream I was bit by a snake and it hurt. I felt the pain of the bite and the venum." I told her. Her face was flushed and she looked tired.

"But I've never..."

"I've never been bitten by a snake." I cut her off.

There was a little silence, she looked down, and I lifted her head.

"Do you want to head back home now?" I asked her.

She slowly shook her head. I was confused, until she leaned in and kissed me. I quickly took control of the kiss, putting one hand in her hair and one on her hips. I pulled away to kiss her neck but she quickly grabbed my face and kissed my lips again.

"Wow. Someone's eager." I laughed in between kisses, she smiled but we kept kissing.

The longer we made out the more heated it got. In one swift motion, Alyssa rolled her hips on mine. She stopped immediately, and starred at me with doe like eyes. She looked scared.

"What did I - ..." she was confused. I shook my head and grabbed her face and kissed her forehead.

"It's okay, I liked it." I told her smirking.

She laid her head back on my shoulder and whispered

"I did to." Then we were silent.

We stayed in that position for a while, not caring what the time was, just wanting the company. It felt so right for her to be in my arms.

"You ready to go home?" I asked her. She sighed and shook her head no.

"I'm comfortable." She laughed. And honestly, I was to.
