Chapter 12: Interrupted.
A/N: FIRST OFF I AM WRITING THIS IN ALL CAPS TO GET THE POINT ACROSS. THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICIT CONTENT. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THAT SORT OF THING, DO NOT READ IT.
Second off, I would like to dedicate this chapter to one of my lovely reviewers Spiderman 2013 for saying such lovely things. You are the reason that this chapter has been published so soon :)
My eyes fluttered open lightly, gliding into consciousness with an uneasy start. A light shuffling brought me up to a sitting position. Balancing my weight on my arms my gaze shifted around the inky black darkness searching for the soft sounds origin. Within moments everything became clear.
The weight on the bed shifted and at once I recognized Harry moving up towards me.
His black suit was immaculate in the dim light. The top two buttons undone casually as if he had just divested himself of his tie and was longing to remove the rest of it. Light reflected from the gold cuffs at his wrists. He drew nearer giving me an unrestricted view of his eyes.
God I loved his eyes.
I clutched the edge of my blanket against my chest as I stared dumbly into his gaze.
A heated fire was burning around his irises. The shadows increasing his angular cheekbones and the heaviness of his eyelids as he slowly deliberately positioned himself in front of me. His mouth centimeters from my own, my hips centered within his arms. He looked ravenous, like he could absolutely devour me in a single bite.
I wanted nothing more.
My breathe came out in desperate pants as I was achingly aware of our close proximity. I felt my core grow damp as his gaze lazily flitted over my flushed skin.
"What…?" was all I managed to say before his finger lightly silenced me. The pad of his callused thumb adeptly traced my lower lip. His gaze darkened as it followed his digits process; riveted to the spot where it made contact. My mouth instantly went dry; my gaze lowered a fraction of an inch as his tender touch tortured me.
It took me a few minutes to process the words he mumbled to me. Too distracted by his touch, his eyes, my reaction to him, and the thick hoarse desire laced tone of his voice. When the words, "Not tonight" hit home, we just stared at each other. For endless moments his eyes searched mine looking for the consent that had always been his.
My head bobbed into the smallest of nods and with a short but primal groan his lips closed the distance between us and met mine. Fireworks exploded behind my eyelids as our lips tangled in a searing kiss. The death grip on my blanket was entirely forgotten as Harry guided me back down onto my pillow. My fingers tangled in his messy hair forcing him as close to me as physically possible. All other thought left my mind and for mindless minutes I let my focus in life be the man over me. His lips left mine trailing scorching open mouthed kisses across my jaw bone to behind my ear; an agonized moan left me as he nibbled my earlobe causing me to buck wildly. The blankets were in a heap at the end of the bed, but at that moment you could set the blankets on fire for all I cared. With Harry positioned perfectly between my legs I could feel the rock hard outline of his erection pressing against the prison that were his trousers. I ground myself against him and let his satisfied groan drive me on.
I needed him inside me.
I was desperate to feel him inside of me.
"Please." I begged in a breathy murmur, bucking again as he sucked the flesh of my neck between his teeth.
His mouth travelled back up to my ear and his hot breath consumed me as he replied. "Not yet."
I moaned in agony as he shifted off of me and to my side. I reached for him blindly needing him to be near me, to douse the fire that had been burning inside of me for him.
Always for him.
His mouth met mine in drugging kisses. What seemed like an eternity later I felt his light touch skim over the hem of my Nightie.
Oh Merlin yes.
With increasing pressure he slid the edge of the fabric up his hand traveling over my outer thigh and up to my stomach. I arched into his touch as he did a sinful swoop with his tongue. My body went wild as I pictured him doing that very thing against my throbbing clit. Harry leisurely pace was driving me insane finally his fingertips feathered at the band of my knickers and slid underneath.
Oh god yes.
His fingers massaged a sinuous circle into my heat. A frantic moan escaped me.
He tortured me, playing on me like a finely tuned violin. As if he had never forgotten exactly how I liked to be touched. His finger dipped as one knuckle dragged across the seam to the entrance on my body. I gulped for air awaiting the blissful pleasure that would accompany the penetration.
"Do you like that?" He murmured against the flushed skin of my neck.
"Oh God Yes." I sobbed as my hips rode against his hand. The build inside of me was incredible, and I knew that the earth shattering orgasm that would accompany it would be nothing short of mind altering.
His mouth nibbled on my earth lobe as he slowly, deliberately circled me there.
If he would just…
If he would only…
I begged, and pleaded. My hips bucked as incomprehensible encouragement escaped me.
I could feel him grin against my neck.
His fingers parted my folds causing the breath to stick in my lungs.
Please.
Oh, Please Harry.
"Is this what you want?" His fingertip lightly pushed inside of me, barely a fraction of an inch and nowhere near enough.
Yes. Fuck yes.
I was so close. Once his finger was inside of me I was going to come. Hard.
Merlin Please.
I was so ready.
"Anything for you." He whispered and I braced myself for the pleasure that would surely follow.
My eyes slammed open. My body heaving off the bed and into sitting position, sweat covered my body as light streamed in my windows. Sensation was alive all over me as the dampness between my thighs was almost embarrassing.
Frustration consumed me like rage and I did the only thing I could think off.
I buried my face in the pillow and screamed bloody murder my fists swinging at anything within distance.
When I finally settled down from my miniature fit I racked my hands through the uncontrollable mess that was my hair.
Harry Fucking Potter. I couldn't even escape him in my dreams anymore.
He was going to be the death of me.
I had been put on Labor duty.
Basically I was supposed to be the hired muscle. I reminded Hermione of the flaw of this plan. I was a seeker, not necessarily the most brilliant choice for hired muscle.
It won't be that much, she said.
It'll be fine, she said.
I agree with her that nothing looks too heavy for me. It was just the quantity that had me for a loop.
247 gift bags.
50 centerpieces.
Table Clothes.
Chairs.
Tables.
Books.
Honest to Merlin, Hermione had boxes of books for decorations for her wedding.
The woman was barmier than I thought!
It was weird for me to be reminded that Hermione was a dame with dame sensibilities. Hermione was always beautiful in her own way, but for some reason she was the equivalent of a bro to me. A bro who wore skirts and nagged on me to get my homework done.
I walked by with an armload of Folded Linens. "Harry, you are remembering to place them in descending order aren't you?"
I inwardly rolled my eyes.
"Yes Hermione." She smiled before turning back to her massive flow chart.
Was that the Seating Chart?
Holy Hell.
I whipped around to continue my job and ran directly into Ginny. Thankfully my hands were completely full so they didn't stray to the back of my head to ruffle my hair. I hadn't seen her since the ball incident and being so close to her was reminding me of exactly how her gorgeous mouth felt against mine.
Her eyes widened at the sight of me.
"Harry! HI!" Her voice squeaked and the tower of linens teetered precariously. She focused on righting them before clearing her throat loudly.
She looked embarrassed, it couldn't be from the ball incident still?
She was nowhere near that thin skinned.
I gave her a slight smile. "Everything alright?"
She cleared her throat several more times before finally answering me. "Yeah. Fine. Totally fine. Do you need any help?"
"There is about two house loads more where this came from. I would appreciate a hand." As I dropped my pile off and chanced a glance at Ginny watching as she wound up her hair at the base of her neck.
I had kissed that neck. And that mouth. My hands had caressed her hips and gripped her arse.
She had never been able to hold her drink like that before.
I didn't know she was obliterated out of her mind.
I meant what I said. I didn't want to hurt her anymore.
When she asked me to take her home, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. But that wasn't all that I wanted from her.
Thank Merlin I stopped us when I did. What would have happened if she had woken up the next morning next to me? I couldn't take her throwing me out. It would kill me. Even imagining the hurt was painful.
It was better that she didn't know.
For now.
Perhaps in the future, when all of this is long behind us.
On a day where I can lovingly wrap my arms around her, feel her contented sigh as she leans back into my embrace. Where I can whisper that I love her and not fear her running the complete opposite direction.
I pray for those days to come.
I keep waiting and I try to be patient, but let's face facts here, being patient has never been my strong suit. Not when I long for her and every moment without her feels like an eternity.
This was getting ridiculous.
Time passed quickly with so much stuff to do. As Ginny and I loaded the last of the wedding junk into the storage room I was pretty proud that I had been able to keep my mind off of her for that long a period.
"Hey Harry." I pulled the door behind me as we made our way back to report our progress.
"Yeah Gin." She no longer winced when I called her by her old nickname which made me annoyingly happy. I loved to call her Gin.
She looked nervous for some reason so I waited for her to speak. "I wanted to thank you again, for taking care of me at the ball. Thinking about it, it would have been really bad if you hadn't been there. If the press had gotten a hold of that or my team, I could have potentially lost my job. So Thank you." My heart swelled at her words and I was 100% honest when I replied.
"Anytime."
Anytime, Anywhere, Always, Forever.
Forever Gin.
She grinned at me and I felt a leap of joy; marveling at how a simple smile could change my entire mood.
"There is something else I'd like to talk to you about." She slowed her pace to a stop and I followed suit drinking in her ivory cheeks, the thick fringe of her lashes, her pink lips. I longed to tell her how beautiful she was, to hook the stray strand of hair behind her ear. I held myself in check. "Since you've been so great about the drunk thing… ummm… it's about us…"
My whole body tightened. Is this it? Is this what I've been waiting for? I forced myself to breathe.
Ginny, I love you. I love you.
"… I was thinking about it and… Well it wasn't really right how it ended, for either of us."
I kept my lips sealed. For fear that if I spoke I'd drop to my knees and beg.
I was an idiot. I'm sorry. I fucked up, I'll never even leave for the grocery store again without telling you.
Please. It hasn't ended. It'll never end.
"…and I was thinking that we need closure. So we can get back to being friends and act normally around each other…"
Panic rose inside of me. No. God no.
"…we never really got closure and I think it's what we need. To move on."
To move on?
TO MOVE ON?
I wasn't going anywhere I couldn't move on.
I couldn't let her.
"So all I need to know is why you didn't come back." I stared into her eyes, eyes I could look into forever. I was paralyzed. I felt empty.
I couldn't let her go. I couldn't give up on us. Not yet.
Silence stretched on between us. Me completely immobile staring at the only woman in the world I will ever love. She was staring back at me expecting me to give her some reason to move on.
"Fuck this." I finally ground out before walking around her and stalked purposefully towards the door. I didn't turn around to see the look on her face. I couldn't bear it.
