1803, England.
Miss Dowding- Josephine, to those who know her close- is arranged to be the governess for the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland; their eldest daughter and youngest daughter require training and help with schooling. It is a task that Josephine finds opportunistic to remove her from the fleeting situation of her current life.
She is thrilled to be thrown into such a responsibility for the nobles above her, hoping that her past will not follow. Once she has moved into the castle, her quarters are not much, but they are enough for her smile to stay consistent on her face at the work she is now over-seeing.
In an instant, after being invited to a supper with the family, she is thrown into meeting the eldest son of the Duke and Duchess once he has returned from battle: Marquess Styles of Havenbrook, the rowdy and completely unstable Lord throughout the land, who has seen down every corset and left a grudge at every move he's made.
His presence is always known around the manor; his mouth is curt with remarks that make Josephine's heart flutter with uncertainty. His eyes stare at her across the long dining table in the evenings, Josephine feels an inadequate level of breathing when she senses Lord Styles' stares. She knows not to say a word, but her constant uneasiness around the man feels like a hand around her neck.
She doesn't understand the invisible grip he has on her- the way she aches to understand how he can stare at her in such a way and not make a single remark. Josephine is meek, a bit timid around the royals for her own safety. Lord Styles cannot help but stare at the way her collarbones simply pop from above her corseted top.
Josephine cannot help but lay in bed at night and wonder- is the noise outside her door just the creaks and sounds of the castle?
Or... maybe she should take a moment to open the door to reveal the truth of the noise beyond it?

"Look Harry, I don't know what you're getting at here, but I'm really not looking for anything right now, and I am so busy with work, and -" "You wouldn't happen to be trying to push me away because you're scared of the fact that I'm not scared of you," he states, like it was the most obvious conclusion in the world. Well that shut me up. "So then, what are you saying?" I ask, very lost at what he is aiming for. He smiles, seeming very satisfied. "I'll make you a deal. Spend the summer with me. We'll take turns. I'll drag you to all the touristy spots that you avoid and teach you to have fun there. Then, you take me to these 'local spots' and show me how you enjoy this town, when us 'bennys' aren't here."

NOT EDITED "I cannot look into those eyes, eyes that I have learned will judge you, eyes, that will make or break you, no, please no. I can't look into those eyes, because if I look you in the eye, every memory of us laughing together is erased, every memory of us cuddling within the warmth of the blankets, every memory of us staring into each other's eyes, will completely vanish. All I will see is your beautiful face that is no longer mine to admire, all I will see is the way your eyes crinkle in distaste of my presence, all I will see is how much you loathe me. I cannot look you in the eye because all I think about is how much I love you and how much wanna kiss you, I cannot look you in the eye because you do not love me like you used to and you do not want to feel my lips, I cannot look you in the eye because of how much I want to be with you, and how much I wish I had told you to stay, I want to look at you but, I cannot because all I can think about is the smile that remains no more upon your face, I want to kiss you but all I can think about is how much, you are going to laugh at me, if I did."

I lowered myself to my knees, biting my lip softly as I felt him walk up behind me. He brought his arm around me, his hand wrapping around the left side of my jawline, moving against it to the right. It took everything in me not to bite his arm as it passed in front of me. He stopped his hand right under my chin, his thumb pressing softly on my lower lip until my mouth hung open slightly. "Suck it." He said, his voice thick with lust. I took his thumb in my mouth, sucking it softly. With his other hand, he brought my face back against him, wrapping it tightly around my neck, "Good girl." He said, his green eyes barring down at me. His shirt hung open, the dark ink engraving his body illuminated by the small light in the room. His butterfly tattoo moving with his breath. "You remember the safe word?" He said sternly, and I nodded. "I need to hear you." He said, the grip around my neck slightly tighter. I released his thumb from my mouth, licking my lips, "Yes, sir." He smirked at me, his dimples devilishly appearing on his face as he bent down and kissed me deeply. - Harry Styles walks into an LA bar when Carolina Townes instantly captures his eye.

Sup gorgeous people of wattpad, just gotta put a lil disclaimer here for the new people reading. This was the first book I ever wrote plus I gave up early on cause I hated the plot, but there will be a few good points. This was also written when I was a little younger ( like 12 ) so that explains why it's kinda bad. On a better note, I'm also in the writing process of another book that isn't Larry/1d related, but I think it's really interesting - still deciding if I want to publish it chapter by chapter or when it's all done but yeah. Have a nice read and drink water, bye loves. note: I came up with this idea in the middle of the night cause I was bored so don't judge. I've been reading styles twins and louis fics so I was inspired. hope this story is somewhat decent. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO PUT SO BARE WITH ME. Louis is 20 year old man who works 2 jobs and lives alone in his apartment. He left his step father and step brother 2 years ago after growing tired of their torment after he came out at gay at 15. After running into someone at his job his life takes an unexpected turn. #2 in edwardstyles - 5/30/21 #79 in louistomlinson - 6/16/21Complete
