HARRY’S P.O.V.

“Andrea, don’t play with your food like that.”

Piper grinned at me as I scolded my daughter, which forced a smile onto my face, completely debauching my attempt at being fatherly.

“Don’t make me smile when I’m scolding her; you’re ruining my credibility.”

I whispered softly in Piper’s ear and ran my hand along her leg, not stopping until my fingers rested close to her sex and my palm
covered the rest of her bare thigh. I was so glad she was wearing a skirt; especially one that rose up so high when she sat. She gulped and put her fork down, bringing one hand down to where mine was. I tightened my grip as she tried to pull my fingers away without being obvious to the four other people at the table. Well, three and a half.

“So, Piper. You live near Disney, right?”

Piper cleared her throat and I watched her face turn a bright shade of pink as I lightly grazed her core with my long fingers. Karen
seemed clueless, but I was pretty sure she knew exactly what was going on and put Piper on the spot on purpose. I found it amusing, so I didn’t stop.

“Yeah, Orlando. It’s nice. Harry and I actually wanted to talk to you about something after we eat.”

Karen grinned and Piper looked down at her half-empty plate, letting her eyes gaze to her lap as she bit her lip. I moved my arm over
so that I was cupping her inner thigh and putting more intense pressure in all the right places. I feel her squirm under my hand and I move two fingers quickly against her panties. She closed her legs around my hand and I chuckled as it caught me by surprise.

“Something funny, Harry? Why don’t you share with the class?”

“Hmm, that’s alright, Gemma. Inside joke.”

Not quite inside enough for my liking, but this would have to do for a family brunch. I pressed my fingers against her harder, feeling how wet she was through her underwear. God, I wanted to take her right back to the room we just came from, but I had to be reasonable. I just forgot how fucking good she felt. I was so wrapped up in making sure she was okay and dealing with added drama from Karen that I didn’t remember how beautiful she was in my arms, coming undone around me. If I wasn’t hard before I imagined that, I was now. I moved my hand away and watched her body go limp a bit and her breath hitched. She looked at me longingly, begging for more. I brought my damp fingers to my lips and put them into my mouth, licking them as if they had remnants of food on them. She whimpered ever so softly and I brought my hand back under the table. I held her hand sweetly, pulling it off of her lap and onto mine. She stroked my thigh with her thumb, knowing exactly what I wanted and not giving it to me. I gently swallowed her hand with mine and moved it closer to the zipper of my slacks. At first she didn’t move, but I leaned over and pressed my lips to her ear.

“Don’t tease.”

I left a quick peck on her cheek and looked back to the other women sitting around the table.

“Mum, how long are you staying here?”

“I go home tonight, love.”

I didn’t want my mum to leave so soon, but I was really just trying to make casual conversation while Piper started to palm me
through my pants, causing my knee to hit the table roughly.

“You should come to America when we play New York.”

“That would be great.”

She smiled brightly, either not noticing my inability to hide my expression, or simply ignoring it.

“Gem, you should come too.”

She grinned and nodded in agreement, staring at her plate.

“I’m stuffed.”

Karen stood from her chair and Piper immediately pulled her hand back to her own lap, leaving me hard and panting.

“Andy and I should be leaving soon.”

I stood up next, resting my hand on Piper’s shoulder.

“Can the three of us talk first?”

Karen looked nervous, but I smiled to assure her that my intentions were not negative.

“Of course.”

Piper stood up as well and I walked over, placing a sweet kiss on the top of Andy’s head before walking into the large bedroom I had assumed my mum stayed in. Piper sat at the foot of the bed and I settled in a nearby chair, wanting to avoid her tantalizing touch while talking to the mother of my child about a more serious matter. Karen sat next to Piper, ensuring that there was a few feet between them.

“So, what’s up?”

Karen clapped her hands together anxiously and rested them in her lap. I looked at Piper and leaned over, resting my elbows on my knees to hide my noticeable erection.

“Well, Harry and I were thinking it would be nice if you and Andrea came to stay with me for a little bit. We-Harry wanted to take her
to Disney and it’ll be a nice break for you. My mom would even take care of her some and you can make a vacation out of it.”

Karen’s eyes shifted between Piper and I for a minute before she said anything. Her expression was impossible to gauge.

“Why?”

“I could see Andy more while we’re on tour. I can get to Florida much easier than here. Besides, what’s keeping you here for the holidays?”

I didn’t want to say anything aloud, but I was hinting at the fact that her mum was dead and her dad wasn’t on speaking terms with
her. I also wanted her to remember, without me reminding her, that she said she would stay away from her (hopefully ex) boyfriend. She stared into my eyes and seemed to get the point, pulling at her top uncomfortably.

“I guess you’re right. Andy would be thrilled.”

I smiled brightly, watching Piper mirror my emotions.

“Yay! I’m so excited!”

Piper clapped her hands together and bounced on the bed a little.

“When should we come?”

I looked at Piper, waiting for her to respond since I would have little to do with the actual planning.

“Whenever you’d like. I don’t know what you’re comfortable with, but if you want to stay with my parents, you’ll have more room.

They live around the corner from my school.”

“O-okay. Would Thanksgiving week be okay? I know it’s a family thing-“

“Thanksgiving will be perfect! My mom will be thrilled. Oh, Harry, that’s another thing. What are we telling my parents?”

I hadn’t thought about that. However, I trusted her judgement in telling Riley about my daughter, so I wasn’t worried about her parents.

“The truth. I think they can keep a secret.”

She chuckled, still bubbly from Karen’s unenthusiastic agreement to join her in Florida.
We discussed more detailed arrangements and decided to buy their plane tickets that weekend. By the end of our surprisingly civil group conversation, Karen announced that she needed to get Andrea home. We all exited the room to find Andy sitting on Gemma’s lap, playing a game on her phone.

“Come on, sweetie. We’re going home.”


PIPER’S P.O.V.


Andy frowned and set the phone down on the table before kissing Gemma on the cheek and squeezing her tightly.

“Bye bye Auntie Gem.”

“See you soon, love.”

Next she skipped to where Anne was and was scooped into a long hug.

“Give Mimi kisses.”

She kissed Anne on each cheek before hugging her again. When she was back on the ground, she walked over to where Harry and I stood, holding her hands behind her back and swaying back and forth with a sad look on her face.
I knelt down to my knees so that I was at eye level with her and gathered her little hands in mine.

“I am so glad I got to meet you, Andrea.”

“When will you come back?”

I searched for Karen and her eyes met mine quickly. She grinned and nodded her approval.

“Well, you and mommy are going to come see me soon! We can go to Disney World with daddy!”

She jumped up and down and squealed loudly, causing the group around her to erupt in excited laughter.

“I can’t wait! We can see the pwincesses and go on wides!”

She screamed again and wrapped her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly. I gave her a gentle squeeze and stroked her hair gently. I glanced to my left and saw Harry now sitting on the floor. I kissed Andy’s temple and released her.
Harry held out his arms and she climbed into them comfortably, curling up in his chest and laying on his shoulder. I observed Harry’s face, noticing his eye twitch and blink rapidly, small tears forming at the corner. I rested my hand on his free shoulder and he left a long kiss on Andy’s forehead.

“I love you, baby girl.”

His voice cracked in the middle and he could no longer hold back the imminent sobs. He squeezed Andrea and she rubbed his back gently with her tiny palm.

“Don’t cwy, daddy. I wove you, too.”

He chuckled despite the tears, kissing her once more and setting her down softly on the floor. She placed her hands on either side of his face and grabbed at his curls, smiling and kissing his nose. I felt hot tears meet my eyes unexpectedly and grasped my hand over my mouth to prevent any noise. Harry wiped under his eyes and gently directed Andy toward her mother. I stood up and smiled at Andrea as she approached the door and waited for Karen. Out of nowhere, Karen walked over to me, eyes red, and pulled me into a warm hug. Her chin rested on my shoulder and I hugged her back.

“Thank you.”

She whispered and broke away before I could ask what she meant. She gently patted Harry’s shoulder and joined Andy at the door,
gathering her hand and exiting the room with a short wave. Anne, Gemma, Harry, and I stood in shocked silence for a while before I spoke.

“What was that?”

“It’s progress, Piper. More than has been made in three whole years.”

Anne smiled, sniffing and rubbing her eyes. Harry wrapped one arm around me and pressed his lips to the top of my head, breathing deeply.

“And it’s all thanks to you.”

I scoffed and hugged him from the side, interlocking my fingers on his hip. Just when all seemed comfortable and happy, my phone erupted in song from the other room. I hurried in, knowing how early in the morning it was back home. I had no idea who it could be. I searched my purse and finally pressed answer.

“Hello?”

“Piper, Detective Kamp here. I’m calling to inform you that we have the okay to continue with court proceedings. I can get you in this Monday. Will that work?”

This was supposed to happen later in the month and Harry and I weren’t supposed to fly back until Monday evening.

“Uh, I’m in London, sir. Actually, can you hold on a second?”

“Of course.”

I peeked my head out of the room and hissed at Harry in a loud whisper.

“Come here, I need to ask you something.”

He nodded and excused himself from a casual conversation with his sister and mom.

“What’s up?”

“It’s Detective Kamp. They want me to come in Monday for my court date, but we won’t be back until Tuesday.”

“No, we’ll be back in time. Tell him we’ll be there. I’ll change our flight now.”

“Are you s-“

“Piper, I want this guy out of our lives for good.”

I nodded and removed my hand from the receiver.

“Monday is good. What time?”


______________


I collapsed on Harry’s bed, exhausted from an extremely long day. After brunch, the four of us attempted to sightsee, but failed miserably. We rode the London eye, but after pushing through the crowd once we got off, I made the decision to call it a day. By the time we made it back to Harry’s flat, Gemma and Anne decided to part ways and go home.

“So, what do you want to do for dinner?”

“I’m guessing you don’t have anything here.”

He chuckled and removed his t-shirt, tossing it into a nearby basket.

“No, nothing.”

“Can we order in?”

“Pizza or Chinese?”

He jumped onto the bed and cuddled up next to me.

“Either one is fine.”

He traced a curvy trail down my arm lightly and paused where my jeans began at my hip.

“I think I have an idea for dessert.”

I giggled as he rolled on top of me, pinning me down against the mattress and hovering his lips just above mine.

“I’m actually feeling dessert first, Harry. What about you?”

He grinned devilishly and I bit my lip, trying to contain my smile.

“Unconventional, but I like it.”

I wrapped my arms around his neck and plunged my fingers into his soft waves, pulling him toward me as I leaned up enough to capture his lips with mine. I whimpered against his mouth, our lips moving perfectly in unison, slow at first and desperate soon after. He broke away after a few minutes and propped himself above me, his biceps flexing gloriously on either side of me.

“And this time, we don’t need to be quiet.”

He hissed in my ear, sending shivers down my spine, and nibbling on my earlobe before sucking small almost-bruises along my neck
and collarbone.

He sat up on his knees and I followed him, sitting up completely and immediately working on the button of his jeans. I started to tug them down, having a little difficulty with how tight they were.

“I have to say, I love you in skinny jeans as much as the next average fangirl, but they feel tighter than usual.”

He pulled them down his thighs until they hit the bed.

“These are the ones that I left here. Must be getting small on me.”

I ran my hands down his chest and abs, scratching lightly.

“You have been working out. You look sexy, babe.”

He tugged at my shirt and pulled it over my head, discarding it with his own and reaching for the hook on my bra.

“You’re so hot. So beautiful.”

He replaced the cups of my bra with his hands, letting it fall between us. I rested my hands on his hips, kissing him passionately and quickly. He slowly massaged my breasts, trying to slow my lips with his tongue.

“Let’s take our time. It’s been a while since we really made love.”

I nodded and made each movement slow and meaningful. It was hard to hold back because all I wanted was to rip his boxers off and ride him like there was no tomorrow, but he was right. We should enjoy the time we have together and not rush it.
His warm hands ran down my sides and rested in the small of my back, pulling my hips toward him while he rolled his into mine. His lips found mine as he lightly gripped a tuft of my hair, pulling my face to his.


HARRY’S P.O.V.


If we rushed things along like we both felt the need to, we would just end up fucking again right after. I wanted to savor each and every touch, kiss, and feeling. When we got back to America, I wouldn’t see her for almost a month. Not until the December.
We sat on our knees kissing and groping for about ten minutes before I laid her back against the pillows in my familiar bed. Before I joined her, I kicked off my jeans completely. They really were tighter than my newer pants. Piper laid on her back in front of me, legs swaying back and forth impatiently. I gripped her calves and pulled her legs on either side of me, sliding her body toward me. I dipped my head between my shoulders and held onto her thighs as I brought my lips tenderly to one breast, maintaining eye contact, watching her mouth drop as I slid my tongue across her nipple, sucking lightly, earning a soft whimper. I mirrored my actions at her other breast, nipping and pulling back before trailing my lips down her stomach. I brought my fingers to the button on her pants at an
excruciatingly slow pace. I pulled the zipper and watched her glare at me, lips quivering and fingers finding their way back to my hair. She tugged lightly as I started to pull her pants down, dragging her panties along with. I was starting to grow uncontrollably impatient and didn’t feel like teasing anymore.

Once her jeans were around her ankles, I pulled them off entirely, one leg at a time and threw them aside, admiring her completely
bare body.

“You’re so beautiful, Piper.”

“You already said that.”

“It’s just the honest truth.”

I watched her roll her eyes sarcastically and I licked my lips before laying on my chest on the sheets, lips hovering above her sex. Her breathing hitched as I left one soft kiss above her clit. I moaned against her core as my tongue slipped out between my lips and met with her warmth. I licked small circles around her clit, putting enough pressure to make her start to pant.

“Mmm, Piper. So wet.”

“H-Harry. Please.”

I pulled her sensitive area between my lips and sucked lightly before pulling away. Her body fell relaxed and I pulled my boxers down, kicking them to the end of the bed before positioning my body over hers. My dick was throbbing between my legs and I slid my tongue between her parted lips and swiped it along hers slowly. I lowered myself slowly, deepening our kiss and pressing my cock against her core. She moaned into my mouth and slid her arm between our bodies, holding onto my length and stroking it a few times before guiding it to her entrance. I felt her lips tremble as I slowly slid into her with ease, finally bottoming out and pulling back instantly to repeat my actions. She was so perfect like this; eyes squinting and squeezing shut as she whined and screamed, not withholding anything.

“God, I love you.”

I grunted and quickened my pace, thrusting in roughly and cautiously at the same time.

“I love you, Harry-y-y.”

She let out small whimpers with every pump, her breathing alone sending me in loops of pleasure.

“I can’t get enough.”

“Ohhh, I’m close, baby.”

Her voice rang in my ears as she dug her nails into my back, leaving noticeable marks, I was sure. My arms shook as I held myself up the best I could as my body tingled all over. I tried to hold back, but the building intensified as Piper moaned and my name spilled from her lips. She tightened around me, her walls pulsing and contracting as I reached the point of no return and released into her with a loud groan from deep in my throat. I pulled out soon after and collapsed next to her in a bothered mess.
Piper curled up against my side, resting her head on my chest and I softly stroked her back, pulling the blankets over us. I kissed her forehead and watched her face switch between different emotions.

“What are you thinking about, love?”

“Nothing important. I just like being here. It’s kind of surreal is all.”

“How come?”

“I don’t know. It’s kind of silly.”

I chuckled and brushed a piece of hair away from her face.

“No, tell me.”

She giggled and her eyes shifted uncomfortably. Only Piper could act nervous and shy after making passionate love.

“Don’t laugh.”

“I won’t; promise.”

She took a deep breath and smiled.

“I used to picture you being in your flat before I knew you. I’d just make up these scenarios and wonder what you were like. And here
I am. It’s just strange.”

I grinned and pulled her closer to me.

“I’m so glad you’re here, Piper. So, was I better in your dreams or real life?”

I winked and she forced a shocked expression.

“What do you mean?”

Her voice was confused, but I could tell she knew what I was talking about.

“Come on, you can’t tell me you thought about me before we met and never pictured...this?”

I motioned to our bare bodies under the blankets and she squirmed shyly.

“Okay, fine. I did.”

“Well, which ‘me’ was better?”

She rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at me.

“Dream you.”

I laughed and clutched my chest in fake pain.

“I’m kidding. I could never picture the way you make me feel.”

I smiled warmly and felt it meet my eyes as she cozied back up against my chest.

“It’s chilly. Do you want something to wear?”

“No, just cuddle me.”

I was hoping she’d say that. I pulled the covers over our arms and brought her body close to mine and reached over to flip the light
off. I wrapped my arms around her tightly and kissed her lips once more before closing my eyes and drifting off into the most peaceful sleep I’d had in ages.

Notes

Wow, guys. 100 votes! Thank you so much! I love you guys. I'm so sorry I've been so slow with updating, but hopefully this is a long enough chapter to make up for it a bit. xx

What do you think about the plans for Karen and Andy to go to Florida? Do you think Karen meant it when she said she was leaving her boyfriend or is something going on that Harry doesn't know about?

I'm glad they're having sex again because I missed writing the smut (don't judge) haha. I'll be updating pretty soon again, probably from Cory's P.O.V. so stay tuned <3
