A Falling Sky

Chapter 12

I hear the springs of the mattress creak as a body sits next to me and jostles the bed lightly. The figure doesn’t say anything, but I can hear the strong, steady breath of someone very close. A hand snakes up to rest on my bare thigh. I am laying on my back and trying to pretend like I am still sleeping so that he doesn’t stop—please God, don’t make him stop. His hand is warm and I can feel the pads of his fingers dig in slightly when my eyes flutter for a second. I know it is Harry. Only his hands could feel so incredibly warm and sends tingles throughout my entire body. My heart rate picks up. Where is he gonna go next?

He removes his hand from my thigh and I am already missing the contact. I try not to let my face show any emotion at all, though. This is a little game and I want to win. What I will win, I don’t exactly know, but I will not open my eyes until I get it.

I feel his touch again and this time, it is just the tips of his fingers.  They are just barely grazing the soft skin of my prominent hipbone. God, I wish I could feel more of his scorching touch. His fingers teasingly walk across my hips and make it to my tummy. He stops just above my panty line and lingers there.

I bite my lip, knowing what he is going to do next. He sees this so he tears his hand away from my stomach.

Fuck.

I keep my eyes closed, hoping that he will still play. I can't stop the pout that plays at my lips. He is silent for a long time and I know he is watching me, but I refuse to crack my eyelids. Please keep playing…

After a minute, I feel him shift as the whole bed shakes beneath us. I expect him to get up and leave, but he surprises me by leaning over my body. What is he doing now?

His lips press to the spot where his fingers just were, right below my belly button and just above the place where I needed him to kiss most… I decide that I like this game better.

I feel the tip of his nose pushed against my stomach and the hot breath dances on my skin. Leaving moisture behind, he kisses up my abdomen, stopping at the valley between my breasts. I am in only a bra and panties, how did this happen? My breath catches as he kisses the top of each breast. If I had my eyes open right now, I’m sure I would see him smirk at my reaction.

Harry’s body is completely hovering over me now with his hands on either side of me and his knee in between my legs. His shirt brushes over my scantily clad body and he’s so close, I can smell the natural scent of him. He licks a spot on the right side of my neck and I almost gasp at the heat it leaves behind. He then crosses over and lightly bites my neck on the other side—his teeth nibbling at the exposed skin and I didn’t think I would enjoy it this much but hot acid rushes through my veins. I wish he would stop teasing and just kiss my lips already.

As if hearing my thoughts, he finally leaves a trail of light kisses up my jaw and to my face. His kisses were fiery and passionate two seconds ago, but now they are gentle and sweet as his pillowy lips only brush both of my cheeks. He plants a soft kiss to the tip of my nose and lifts his head up slightly.

I think that the game is over.

Just as I am about to open my eyes to grumble at him, I hear Harry’s voice pierce the darkness.
