A/N: So sorry for the wait, I had exams, then my computer messed up, then re-sits as I failed my exams plus new exams and I was abandoned by my muse . However, my muse has returned and I'm procrastinating from both college and house work. Again sorry for the wait.

Chapter 6

She waited until she knew that everyone else was asleep before sneaking over to his room. Going into his room, she closed the door behind her and sat next to him on his bed. "Hi," he smiled up at her and reached to push a curl out of her face. She stopped his hand before it could reach, causing him to give her a confused look.

"I don't know if I can do something like this. I can't stand to look at myself and so can't even begin to comprehend how you would want to. I don't sleep, and when I do, I have nightmares. I don't talk about the war or what happened, or about anything that's too hard or too painful. I don't know how to have a functioning relationship and I'm shit scared of getting hurt." By this stage, Charlie had dropped his hand and she was no longer looking at him. "But if I never give it a go then I'll always be alone, and who better to try with than a gorgeous friend who I like and who likes me back?" She glanced at him shyly from under her lashes as he lunged forward and took her face in his hands and touched their foreheads together. "I can't promise that this will work."

"I don't care; you're giving me a chance and that's all that matters right now." With that, he slowly and gently touched his lips to hers. After a few moments, she grew impatient with his pace and sought to deepen the kiss. The moment he felt her hands grabbing his hair, her body moulding itself closer to his, and her tongue prodding his lips, his restraint snapped. He growled and flipped them over so she was on her back on the bed and he was hovering over her. "I've been waiting for this for longer than is probably deemed acceptable. I want to do this properly and I want to take it slowly, but you're making it increasingly difficult to do that."

"I don't give a fuck about taking it slow right now." To emphasises her point she grabbed his hair with one hand and pulled him into a bruising kiss, whilst the other hand snaked into his boxers and started stroking him, moaning at his thickness. At the feel of her small, soft hands around his length, he pulled away from the kiss and dropped his head onto her shoulder, his breathing heavy and laboured. "I am no blushing virgin, despite what everyone seems to think, and so when I say that I don't want to go slow, I mean it. I know what I want and it's you, and from what I can feel you want me too. So shut up and fuck me!"

He reached down to still her hand, moved his mouth to her ear, and growled, "I won't be able to unless you stop that." She smirked up at him and caught him in another bruising kiss. Her moans began to fill the room as his hands found their way into her knickers, his fingers brushing softly at her wetness, so softly she wondered if she was maybe imagining it. She knew that wasn't true the moment he pushed a finger inside her heat, without warning. Her lips parted into a silent O and her eyes fluttered shut as he added a second finger. She was already beginning to clench around him, and so all it took was a tug on her nipple through her thin top and an expert flick of his thumb on her clit for her to come completely undone. Pulling his fingers out he dragged her knickers down her legs, trailing her juices with them, "I told you I wanted to do it properly." She soon wiped the smirk off his face when she pulled his boxers off, flipped them over and impaled herself on him. He let out a strangled moan as she lifter herself up before plunging herself back down.

"And I told you I wanted you to fuck me," she groaned, keeping up her fast pace. He moved his hands to her hips to help guide her and it wasn't long before they moaned each other's names and collapsed in sated bliss.

"That was amazing," He breathed into her ear, stroking the soft skin of her back. She hummed her agreement and snuggled further into his chest, drifting off into a peaceful sleep. The first in years, but by no means the last.

Again so very sorry for the wait, please do still review, even if it's to hurl abuse at me
