CORY’S P.O.V.

As soon as I saw Riley lunge at Rebecca, they were both on the ground. Everyone screamed in excitement as Riley pounded her face over and over relentlessly. I looked over to Liam and he seemed to have the same idea as me and we both stood up after I slipped my pants on under the cape covering my bare body. We approached the girls, Rebecca hardly even fighting back, and pulled Riley off of her, arms and legs thrashing violently.

“Let me go! I’m not done with her!”

Liam pulled her toward him, now holding her around her waist and calmly spoke to her.

“You’re just going to do something you’ll regret, love. Come on.”

Riley still looked insanely at Rebecca, who was laying on the ground, bleeding. I thought about
leaving without so much as a glance, but instead I extended my hand to her. At first, she didn’t trust me to take it, but she finally did and I pulled her to her feet. She said nothing as I turned and followed Liam and Riley out the door.

Once we were outside in the crisp night air, we walked quickly toward the dorms and at least made it around the corner before Riley faced me frantically.

“Cory, are you okay? I-I’m so sorry.”

I just stared at the ground awkwardly, like I do best.

“It’s not your fault, Riley. I’m okay.”

I lied. I was so far from okay, it wasn’t even funny. Why did I even talk to that girl? She seemed
like the bitchy type the moment she introduced herself. I was so intent on meeting someone to distract me that I didn’t even pay attention to all the warning signs. I knew better than to talk to girls like her from when I was in high school. That small relapse in judgement resulted in more pain than could be described.

“How did it even happen, Cory?”

I felt like a child being scolded by his mother, but I knew Riley had pure intentions.

“She asked if I wanted to play seven minutes in heaven. I honestly didn’t know what it was until
they started, but I have a feeling it was set up, because she got me pretty quickly. I thought it was just some kind of like kinky thing; tying me up. I’m such a fucking idiot.”

Liam looked pissed too, which I couldn’t understand. Shouldn’t he hate me? I slept with his
girlfriend. Instead, he’d been so nice to me the entire time he’d been there.

“No, you’re not. Shit like this happened to me in school too.”

I didn’t believe that for a second.

“You don’t have to make stuff up to make me feel better.”

He chuckled as we started to walk again.

“Trust me, I’m not making it up. I really wasn’t popular in school. I liked singing and things like
that; it wasn’t admired by my fellow students.”

I guess I had more in common with Liam than I had thought. Still, he got the chance to show
those people at his school that he made something of himself. I was living the same life, just in college this time, which was twenty times worse. I didn’t even think shit like this happened in college. It was so childish.

“Well, thanks. Both of you.”

I directed that to Riley. She didn’t have to tackle Rebecca to the ground, but it’s exactly what I would have expected Riley to do. I just felt embarrassed. I didn’t exactly want her coming to my rescue.

“No problem, Cory. You know I’m always looking for a fight.”

We all laughed, but I felt a tinge of pain resurfacing in my stomach and I wanted nothing more than to climb into bed and feel a sharp blade against my skin before I fall asleep.


PIPER’S P.O.V.

Harry didn’t look too thrilled to have Karen following behind us, but it seemed like the right thing to do. Anne rode with her, leaving Harry and I alone for the first time since I left his apartment the evening before. I reached over to his hand that was resting on the gear shifter and squeezed it gently.

“Are you okay, baby?”

He looked over and gave me the most obviously fake smile I’ve ever seen. I gave him a knowing look and he sighed, letting his shoulders fall.

“I know I should be happy. I am, in a way. I just don’t know what this all means. Things are
going to change and Karen and I have to be civil with one another. It’s going to be weird for
everyone, including Andy.”

“Yeah, but it will be good for her! She doesn’t need to see you two fighting all the time. It isn’t
healthy.”

“I know. It’s just going to be hard to get used to. I still don’t know if I trust Karen.”

“You don’t need to trust her right now. You just need to give her a chance.”

He kept his eyes on the road and intertwined our fingers, pulling the back of my hand to his lips. He rested his mouth against my hand for a while and I could tell he was deep in thought.

“What’s on your mind? I feel like there’s something you aren’t telling me.”

He slowed the car and pulled into the valet area at the hotel and we waited behind another car.
He put the car into park and turned his shoulders to face me.

“Karen has a boyfriend. Well, had. I don’t know. That’s why all of this happened. He knows that
I’m Andrea’s father. It’s just all a bit seedy.”

“Well, did she say who this guy was?”

“Not exactly. No one I know, surely, but he’s obviously an asshole. He got Karen to do all this so
they could get more money.”

“Well, yeah, that’s pretty awful.”

I tried to think of something positive to say, but the situation was anything but positive.

“She said she’s leaving him. I believe her; it’s just kind of unnerving to think of a man like that
being around my daughter.”

“Well, you just need to keep an eye on the situation. Make sure she leaves him. Hey, I have an idea!”

He closed his eyes for a second, biting his lip. God, he was so sexy. I just wanted to climb over the seat and feel his body against mine. I was snapped out of my sinful thoughts by Harry.

“What’s your idea?”

He waved his hand in front of my face to get my attention and I shook my desires away.

“Sorry, umm. Why don’t we ask Karen if she wants to come stay in Florida for a bit? We can take Andy to Disney and it’ll ensure that she stays away from that man.”
Harry started to shake his head immediately, but thought about it for a moment.

“You know, it wouldn’t be a terrible idea. Then, you can bring Andy up to New York with you for the charity event and we can all spend Christmas together.”

“Yeah! Thanksgiving too if she wants!”

“You’re the best, love.”

He grinned widely and leaned over to lightly press his lips against mine. As he started to pull away, something unexpected took over my body. I tangled my fingers in his hair and pulled him back to me, kissing him roughly as he rested his hand on my upper thigh. He moved his hand between my legs a little, making my lips part in desire. His tongue slipped into my mouth and our kiss became even more heated, only to be interrupted by a knock on the window.

“Shit.”

Harry opened the door so that the valet attendant could replace him behind the wheel. I reached down and found my purse as Harry gathered the ticket and made his way to my side of the car, opening the door for me. As I climbed out, I tugged at my clothes and situated my hair as Harry placed his palm on my lower back, guiding me through the doors to the hotel. He chuckled at me as I looked behind to see Anne and Karen pull into the valet line behind a car that must have been behind us.

“Should we wait for them?”

“No, they’ll meet up there. Let’s get inside before people see us.”

We walked quickly into the hotel lobby I had left that morning, immediately making our way to the elevators. Harry’s foot tapped impatiently as we waited for the doors to open. Finally they did, revealing an empty box which Harry drug me into frantically.

“We could wait for them. They’re probably walking in now.”

Harry repeatedly pressed the ‘Door Close’ button and I watched him in confusion. My eyes shift down his body and I noticed the large bulge in his tight slacks, against his thigh. As the doors closed, he turned to face me completely, pinning me up against the cool metal behind me. I reached down and palmed him through his pants.

“It really didn’t take much, did it?”

“Well, I had to finish what you started last night by myself. Don’t think I forgot where we left off.”

I giggled as he rested his hand above my head, leaning his body against mine and pressing his hips into me.

“Well, Harry, I hate to break it to you, but that hotel suite is going to be a bit full for the next few hours.”

“Yeah, that’s what the rush is about. If we can get up there before my mum and Karen, Gemma can stall them for a while.”

“Harry!”

He smiled and leaned down to nibble on collarbone.

“Don’t act like you don’t want to, Piper. It’ll be fun.”

I tried to reply that I didn’t, but I couldn’t lie like that; not when I wanted it just as badly as he did.

“Okay, Harry- but, please don’t make it obvious. I don’t want it to be awkward.”

He didn’t really answer; he just hummed against my neck. The doors opened and before I could gather that his lips were no longer pressed against my skin, he was pulling me through the hallway. As soon as he knocked on the door, Gemma flung it open.

“Shhh. Andy’s sleeping.”

Harry kissed his sister on the cheek and smiled.

“Perfect. You’re gold, Gem!”

He pulled me through the kitchen area and I smiled at Gemma awkwardly.

“Wait, don’t go in that room. The other one’s free.”

She pointed to the room her and I had slept in the night before.

“Oh, when mum and Karen get up here, stall them.”

He kept walking as she started to object.

“Karen? Karen is coming? Here!”

Harry held the door open and guided me inside, ignoring Gemma and closing the door. He locked it and slipped his jacket off. I bit my lip and waited for his much-needed touch. As soon as his body crashed into mine, our lips met like magnets, his arms snaking around my waist and pulling on my skirt. I wiggled my hips to help him pull the clothing off and stepped out of it as soon as it hit the ground. Harry’s hands pressed into my hips as he guided me to the vacant bed I had slept in the night before. I stumbled backwards and when my knees hit the mattress, they buckled, sending me flat on my back. I pulled off my shirt and reached up, tugging on Harry’s tie and dragging him on top of me. He hovered over me and leaned down, kissing me more softly than before.

“We’re still going to go slow, baby. I love you.”

Instead of answering him, I whimpered and pulled his mouth back to mine. I loosened his tie and started to unbutton his shirt as quickly as I could. I just needed to feel his warm skin against mine. Once the buttons was undone, I started to tug the shirt off of his broad shoulders and he sat up, letting it fall off, the tie following behind. While he sat on his knees, I unbuckled his belt and slowly pulled his slacks off, his boxers dragging along. He leaned back down, locking our lips once again and kicked his shoes and pants onto the floor. His arms wrapped around me and I arched my back up as he removed my bra. Left in only my panties, I draped my arms around his neck, continuing to kiss him desperately.

“I need you, Harry. I love you so much.”

My words came out more like moans than sentences, but I didn’t care. Harry grinned against my jaw, trailing kisses down my neck and slowing once he reached my chest. He rested his hands lightly on my shoulders as he took one one breast between his lips, sucking lightly and rolling his tongue over my nipple. I arched my back again, pushing into his mouth uncontrollably. He moved to the other breast and pushed my back against the mattress with his hips. His lips moved down my torso, leaving small love bites along my stomach and on each of my hips. His fingers hooked under my panties, pulling them down slowly, leaving kisses along my thighs where the material had just passed. After throwing the underwear behind his head, he laid between my legs and moved my legs over his shoulders, holding onto my hips softly.

“Piper, I’m about to touch you, okay? Tell me if it’s too much.”

I was confident this time that I would enjoy it and the feeling his hot breath against my core ensured me of that notion. I assured him that I was comfortable by tangling my fingers in his tousled hair and his lips pressed softly against my most sensitive spot.

“Oh, God. Harry, feels so good.”

I rolled my hips ever so slightly and he stilled me with his hands and I watched his biceps contract in resistance. I panted and felt myself getting overwhelmed. It had been a really long time and the small taste I had gotten the night before only made it more exciting in the moment.

“Are you alright, Piper?”

“YES! D-don’t stop!”

He chuckled and returned to his tedious work. His tongue continued to move skillfully against my clit. He started to suck lightly and I felt my stomach tightening as I squirmed under him.

“Harry. Don’t wanna come this way. I need you.”

He licked once more and pulled his body up so that he was hovering over me once again. He
lowered himself down to kiss me softly and our lips moved in perfect unison. I wrapped my arms around his back and clawed into it lightly.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes yes yes. Please.”

I honestly surprised myself by my endless desire and need for him. I wasn’t scared anymore; I was only impatient. I felt like I was losing my virginity again; the way Harry was careful not to hurt me or scare me. It reminded me of how Matt was, only Matt was much more nervous. I still couldn’t believe that I could think about him and not have a breakdown. I looked into Harry’s eyes and simply thought about how much I loved him. In such a short period of time, we had been through so much together. I wondered where I’d be without him and I couldn’t find a pleasant answer.

I reached for his hair and pulled him down for a passionate kiss before he pulled away and balanced himself on one arm.

“Okay, relax. I’m going to push into you very slowly. Tell me if you’re uncomfortable.”

His voice kept me in check as he gradually entered me, moving at the slowest pace possible and watching my expression. I felt some pressure, but that was inevitable with Harry’s girth. When he was halfway in, he leaned down and kissed my forehead, pushing strands of hair out of my face.

“You’re doing so good. Can I try more or should I stop?”

I grinned and hugged his neck, kissing him softly.

“More, Harry. I’m fine.”

He smiled and kissed me again, his hips moving once more, filling me up completely within seconds. My legs moved a bit, but were constricted my his thighs and he stayed there far too long. I wanted to tell him to move, but it was refreshing to be taking our time. I focused on his lips, letting his tongue slide into my mouth and tease mine. He pulled back and I sunk my teeth into his bottom lip, pulling it back to me, flicking my tongue over the roof of his mouth and earning a light moan. He continued to kiss me as his hips pulled back gently and the friction drove me wild.

“I’m going to go a little faster. Is that alright?”

“Y-yes please.”

He thrust back in with a little more force and a small moan escaped my lips. He pulled back and repeated, moving a little faster each time. Still, each movement was fluid and finally, he stopped asking if I was okay. I was more than okay.

“God, Piper. You’re so beautiful.”

He kissed my neck this time, but soon after he pushed in hard and his length met with my g-spot.

“Ohhh, yes. Do that again!”

He brought his mouth back to hover over mine and whispered.

“You’re going to have to be quiet, remember?”

He pressed his lips against mine as he repeated the toe-curling motion and I moaned even louder, only it was muffled by his mouth. He replied with a grunt and I bucked my hips to push onto him even more. I continued to move my hips with his and he without fail met that spot deep within me every time. Beads of sweat dripped down his forehead, and he panted into my mouth. My stomach burned and tightened and I was shocked I lasted as long as I did.

“Harryyyy, I’m close!”

He slowed his thrusts and made them more rough and deliberate as he sat up on his knees and reached his hand between my legs and rubbed his thumb along my clit as I came undone around him. Waves of pleasure rippled through me and continued to for a few minutes before I could see straight again. He pulled out and laid next to me, kissing my face frantically. I rolled over and kissed his butterfly tattoo once before scooting down between his legs and looking up to see his desperate expression.

I held his length in my hand and stroked it up and down over the slickness that came from his being inside me. I wrapped my lips around the tip, swirling my tongue along the crease and quickly took him halfway into my mouth, using my hand to pump the rest to the base. My head bobbed up and down and he moaned under his breath, running his fingers through my hair. I removed my hand from his length and took him to the back of my throat, gagging slightly and swallowing to increase the suction. My hand traveled to his stomach and his free hand intertwined in my fingers. His legs started to quiver and I lifted up before pushing him in deep one last time. I swallowed again and he groaned deeply as the warm liquid spilled into my throat as I continued to swallow until it was all gone. I pulled my mouth off of him slowly, wrapping my lips along the tip as I did to gather any remnants of cum.

Still holding my hand in his, he pulled me up to lay next to him. I rested my head on his chest and he played with my hair softly.

“Wow.”

I chuckled and sat up enough to be at eye level.

“Thank you, Harry.”

“For what?”

“For making me feel safe.”

He kissed my forehead and pushed me down to lay on his chest once again.

“I’m so proud of you, baby.”

As we laid there in silence, we could hear a little commotion through the door, one voice growing closer followed by a knock.

“C’mon guys. Everyone’s hungry.”

“Okay, Gemma! We’re coming!”

“Gross. I really hope you mean that as in you’re about to come out here.”

We both laughed at her even though she was on the other side of the door.

“Yes, that’s what I meant!”

“Good.”

The sound of her footsteps disappeared and I cuddled into Harry’s neck one last time before rolling over and off of the bed.

“I really can’t wait until we get some alone time tonight.”

He looked at me and winked as he found his boxers. I couldn’t wait for that either.
