HARRY'S P.O.V.

Piper had been dragging me around all night introducing me to people I would never remember. Some of her family members were really nice and all but it had been a long day. They started to leave, a few at a time and once almost everyone was gone, I told her I was going to get some cake. She nodded me off to let me know she didn't mind so I walked over to the kitchen. I grabbed a piece of cake along with a champagne flute, finding a table outside by an illuminated tree. Then, as if he had been waiting for me to break away from Piper, James approached me, sitting in the empty chair next to me.

"So, eventful day, huh?"

"What's it to you?"

I hadn't meant to be so blatantly rude but I couldn't help it. I didn't trust the guy and he had way too much alone time with my girlfriend.

"Nothing. Just making conversation. Piper's been wanting us to meet for a while so I thought I'd make her happy."

That last point infuriated me. I didn't know this guy in front of me, insinuating that he made Piper happier than I did.

"I don't know who you think you are, but you need to back the fuck off. I'm not going to try to get Piper to stop seeing you because I know it won't help our relationship, but where the hell do you get off thinking you can step in when I'm gone? I see what you're doing and it won't work."

I honestly surprised myself by snapping at him like that but the moment he came into the picture, I knew he would be trouble.

"Jesus. We just met and you want to start it off like this? What would Piper think?"

He smiled at me, slyly, like he was innocent and angelic.

"She would think that I was being territorial but would understand that it's because I love her."

"Ohhhh, love. Right. Well, don't worry, I won't tell her everything you said to me because that's just not my style. I don't think she'll need my help in realizing that you two won't last long."

He was so sure of himself and even though I was bigger than him, it was intimidating. I clenched my fist but stayed in my seat, knowing that hitting him would cause unnecessary drama with Piper.

"If you know what's good for you, James, you'll remember that the two of you are only friends. Just keep your space."

"I'm really scared, Harry. Please, don't hurt me."

He pretended to beg and then laughed to himself as he stood up from his chair.

"You're going to break her heart, and I'll be the one to pick up the pieces."

With that, he walked away, not looking back once. I saw him say goodbye to Piper and Riley before walking outside. What the hell is wrong with him? If we weren't at a family party, I would have hit him the second he brought up Piper the first time. I wanted to tell her what James said but I knew she would be angry at me for blowing up at him and after what happened earlier that day, it would only ruin our weekend. James was my worst nightmare about being away on tour. He was the perfect guy I knew would come around at her school. I knew it was going to happen and now it would always be a concern. I thought about asking her to stay away from him but she would be hurt, thinking that I didn't trust her. I just didn't trust him. I also didn't want to be controlling. It's not like I could say much since I was away all the time. That wasn't her fault, so why should I forbid her from being around her new friends? I looked up again and Piper was approaching me in her revealing, but classy, sailor costume. She was so sexy and I was pretty sure she still wasn't wearing any underwear.

"I'm sorry I talked so long; I haven't seen some of these people in months."

She sat down on my lap and started to play with the curls on my neck that had broken free from the gel.

"It's fine, love. We still have the rest of the weekend."

I smiled at her, pulling her closer to me.

"Thank you for talking to James. He said it went well and it really means a lot to me."

He said what?

"Uh, yeah, no problem. Anything for you."

I placed a soft kiss on her neck and felt her shiver a little. I looked up to see Marie walking toward us, champagne in her hand, smiling widely.

"There you two are. Everyone's gone now except you and Riley. Come on inside and we'll finish off the champagne."

She waved for us to follow her and Piper and I stood up reluctantly, still holding on to each other as we walked.

"Where did your friend go, Piper? Didn't he ride with you guys?"

"Oh, yeah but he was tired so Ashlee came and got him after work."

Tired. Right.

"Okay, he seems... nice."

I saw a similar worry in her eyes; The same worry I felt. I knew I couldn't be the only one to see how he looked at her. Once we got into the kitchen, Riley, Charles and Cory were sticking forks right into the cake, not concerning themselves with plates. Marie began to look displeased but shook it off and pulled out three more forks for us as well as a new bottle of champagne from the fridge.

"Now, this is the good stuff! We were saving it for the after party. Charles and I brought this back from France in, what year was it, dear?"

"I think it was '85! Isn't it from when we went for our tenth anniversary?"

Wow. They had been married for a while, especially for having such young kids.

"Yes! Oh, what a wonderful trip. Harry, Piper, sit down!"

She seemed so excited to have us all there, pouring champagne in an enthusiastic manner. She sat down on Charles lap, just like Piper had done outside and he kissed her cheek sweetly. You could see how genuinely happy they were and I hoped that someday I could be like that with someone. Maybe even Piper.

"So, Harry. Tell us a little about yourself. Besides the obvious, of course."

Charles wasn't the typical intimidating father, but talking about myself to him was still a little fear-inspiring. I wanted to say the right things.

"Well, I have an older sister, Gemma and I have a really good relationship with my mum and step-dad. My dad and I are really close as well. My parents split when I was little so that had a bit of an affect on me, but I still have a great family, considering the circumstances. It's really hard, especially when we're on tour over here in America because it's not as easy to just pop in for a weekend. I know I should more often, but it seems to make me miss them more."

"I'm sure it breaks your mom's heart to have you gone so much. But, I bet they're all really proud of you, too."

"That's what they say at least."

I laughed and took a nervous sip of my champagne. I didn't know what else to talk about with them.

"I, uh, never told Piper this because I didn't want her to think I was a total nerd, but I'm really into history. I read world history books for fun all the time."

"Is that what you were hiding in your bag when we came to the hotel?"

"Yep, I was reading about ancient Roman myth at that point."

We laughed and talked for hours more. Cory and I found out that we had more in common than we thought; we both had similar taste in music and enjoyed the same television shows. Charles and Marie were really into travelling and had been travelling since before they got married, which was 38 years ago. They waited to have kids for almost 20 years so that they could see the world and as soon as Piper and Cory were old enough, they took them along. I listened to countless stories about family trips gone wrong, including the first time they brought Riley along. The girls were 14 and snuck off in Pisa, searching for Italian boys to have their first kiss with. Riley and Piper laughed hysterically, recalling that day while Marie shook her head, most likely remembering how scared she was when the girls went missing. When we realized it was two in the morning, Piper, Riley and I decided to just stay at their house. Riley took the guest room while Piper and I went back to her old bedroom.

"I really like your family, Piper."

"They really like you, too. I can tell. Even Cory, which surprises me. He's still giving you the tough guy act but it'll be gone soon."

She opened the drawer of her dresser and searched through for something to wear. She pulled out a tank top and a fresh pair of knickers but I wasn't ready for her to put them on. I put my arms around her waist and turned her to face me, pressing my body against hers, pushing her against the dresser.

"Well, are you sure you're ready for round 2 after what happened last time?"

I smirked at her and answered her question by pressing my lips to hers, taking in her scent. She slipped off her shoes and I yanked her dress up and off of her in one swift motion, leaving her in only a black, laced bra. I admired her before lifting her up carefully and carrying her to the bed. I pulled the covers down and placed her head on a pillow. Before joining her, I took off my shoes and pants, followed by my shirt, leaving me in my boxers. I climbed under the sheets and pulled her on top of me, tangling my fingers in her long, wavy hair.

"You looked so beautiful today."

She smiled against my lips and opened her eyes to meet mine.

"You looked pretty good yourself. That hospital gown really turned me on."

I rolled my eyes at her and flipped her around so that I was pinning her against the bed.
"You would have totally done me in that hospital bed if the doctor hadn't walked in."

She looked at me and shrugged, agreeing with my comment. Damned doctor.

I kissed her again, moving my body against hers, the friction on her center making her whimper in my ear. I was so ready for her but I wanted to take it slow, really enjoying every touch. We couldn't take sex for granted like we could if we saw each other all the time. I ran my hand along her jaw, pulling away from our kiss to trace her lips with my finger. She pulled my finger into her mouth, sucking on it slowly, making me grow even more impatient. I took my finger back and ran it down her body, finding my way to her wet sex. I kissed her again as I began to draw circles around her clit. Her breathing picked up and I felt her chest rise and fall sharply as I quickened my movement. Suddenly, without giving her warning, I pushed my finger into her entrance, feeling her tighten around it in shock. I brought my mouth to her breasts and took one nipple into my mouth, rolling my tongue around as I sucked on it lightly. Her hands found my hair, which she held onto as I pleasured her, pushing me into her chest even more.

"Harry, please. I want you now!"

She spoke in a loud whisper, obviously not wanting anyone to hear us. I took my hand back from her and pulled my boxers off of my hips, throwing them across her room. I positioned myself above her once again and crashed my lips into hers as I guided myself into her. She was always so wet and tight, surprising me each time. After she adjusted to me, I started to pick up a rhythm, rolling my hips into hers, only breaking our kiss to catch my breath and kiss her forehead. She looked so perfect when we were intimate. The ecstatic face she acquired was so natural and real. She never held back in bed and I loved that about her. She arched her back, moaning as I thrust faster and harder, still holding her close to me. I felt the familiar feeling in my stomach and knew I wouldn't make it much longer.

"Piper, I love you. Fuck, you're so perfect."

"I love you, Harry-oh, god! I'm almost there."

I tried to focus on making full thrusts as we got closer to finishing, wanting to make her orgasm unforgettable. I entered into her deep, pulling out almost all the way before burying myself into her again, deeper each time until she let out a scream that was not meant to be released. I couldn't even care as my body shook in uncontrolled pleasure. I found my release as soon as she did, biting my lip to hold in any more noise. I fell onto the bed next to her and we laid there, coming back to full consciousness. I was unable to grasp how good I felt and I wrapped her up into my arms, never wanting to let go. The silence was broken by her unexpected suggestion.

"Let's go again."
