Harry came back in from the kitchen with a mug of hot coffee for Julie and tea for himself. They had both showered already, and he had started a fire in the fireplace in their room. He stood back a minute when he saw Julie looking out of the window. She looked beautiful in the moonlight and leaning against the window frame. Her dark hair still wet from her shower hanging over her shoulders. Her face make up free seemed more relaxed than he had ever seen. Her shoulders didn't look as tense. Until now he'd never realized how stressed she used to be all the time. He smiled as he walked up behind her and wrapped his arm with her coffee around her. "Hot coffee to warm you up, love." He said as he sipped his tea. He kept his arm around her waist when she leaned back against him.

"Thanks, babe."  She took a sip. "Hot, white, and sweet. Just like me. Just how I like it." She giggled.

Harry laughed. "Yeah, baby. Just like you." He kissed the top of her head.

"Are you saying I'm not hot or sweet? 'Cuz you can't argue with the white." Julie teased.

"Oh, you're hot. Even in sweats, a big sweater, no make-up and wet hair." Harry chuckled.

"Oh, you think you're being so funny right now, don't you?" Julie elbowed him in the stomach.

He set his tea down, took her mug and set that down also. He turned her towards him. "I'm being serious." He looked down at her. He ran his thumb over her cheek bone. "You really are feeling better, aren't you?"

She looked up at him. "I don't know if better is the right thing to say, but I feel like it's ok to feel the way I do sometimes. It will be hard, Harry. I will struggle with it all. I will most likely have set backs. But my therapists are helping me accept that I shouldn't be ashamed of my feeling overwhelmed and feeling scared. I will try to share more of what I'm feeling. Especially when I'm feeling overwhelmed. But I have to ask you to be patient. I think things will continue to get better; that's the goal. But I know there may be times when I just can't deal, where I make mistakes."

He took her face in his hands and ran his thumbs over her lips. "I'm here for you whenever I can be. And I'm only a phone call away when you need me. I know the tour starting won't be the best timing." He said.

She smiled. "I knew what you did for a living before we started dating Harry. I know you have to go out on tour, and I know that means we will be a part a lot. I know that it's going to be hard not to be able to come to you when I need you. Especially when you're a world away. And sometimes, I may be a little annoyed by that fact. But nothing will change how I feel about you. Just make sure if a long-distance relationship becomes too much, you let me know."

"Hey, don't think like that." He played with the hair on her shoulders. "I love you. An ocean and plane ride aren't going to change that. But let's not worry about that. We will handle whatever is thrown our way. Let's just live in the moment while we have time together."

She smiled again. She was worried. And after the tour started, they would be on the opposite sides of the world, especially the first couple of months. But if they could get through those couple of months than the rest wouldn't be so bad. "I can do that." She would try anyway. "Have anything in mind for the now?"

"Oh, I have ideas. Remember what we talked about at the diner?" He asked leaning towards her.

"Hmmmm," she wrinkled her lips. "I can't seem to remember. Maybe you should remind me." She said backing up from him a little.

"Oh, really?" He said stepping towards her. "Your memory is that bad, huh?"

"Yep," she said stepping out of his reach. "I'm getting old."

He smiled widely, dimples fully showing. "Are you playing hard to get?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about. What are you trying to get?" She licked her lips and then bit her bottom one.

"You'd better stop your teasing." He said to her huskily. "You're backing yourself against the wall. I cannot be held responsible for my actions once you get there."

She hit the wall with her back. "Don't threaten me."

"Oh, it's not a threat. It is most definitely a promise." He looked down at her, eyes dark and swimming with want and need. He was close, but they weren't yet touching. He could feel the heat between their bodies. He loved the playfulness. It was new. The only time they had this type of teasing was when she was drunk after Amanda's birthday outing. She hadn't even had a drink tonight. It was great.

"Harry," she practically pouted.

Oh, that did it for him. She was practically begging him to take her. He never expected that. He crushed his body to hers pushing her harder against the wall. He found her lips and started the kiss. Their lips moving hard against each other. Not long after the kiss started, he begged for entrance with his tongue. When she opened her mouth, he groaned in pleasure. His tongue found hers. It was hot and intimate and the best kiss he'd ever had. Even with her. God, this girl. He found the bottom of her sweater and lifted it over her head. She had no bra on. Oh, he was happy about that. His hands cupped her breasts and squeezed. It had been a month since Thanksgiving. A month since he'd had his hands on her. He was needy. The way her body reacted to his touch, she seemed just as needy. That was such a turn on.

Julie felt her nipples harden under his touch. Almost painfully. She gasped in the kiss when they did. God, he made her feel things so deeply when he touched her. She'd missed it so much. She ran her hands up the front of his shirt. She felt him shiver when she did. She would never get used to her being able to do that to him. They broke the kiss for a moment while she took the shirt off over his head. She took a moment to check him out. He was an incredible man, physically as well as emotionally.

Harry watched her check him out. He couldn't allow it for long though. He wanted her body back on him. He found her lips again and wasted no time starting another tongue fight. When he felt her hands go to the waist band of his sweats and boxers he lost control. If she touched him now, he wouldn't last long. He took her by her wrists and held her arms against the wall. He kissed the side of her neck. "Not yet." He said as he kissed over her collar bone and down to her breast.

"Harry. Jesus." She said as his mouth found her breast. She broke her hands free and put them in his hair. "Now, who better stop teasing?"

"Never." He said as he picked her up around the waist and carried her to the bed. He laid her back and removed her pants. He climbed over her slowly. Kissing up her thighs.

When his mouth found her, her body jumped. No one had ever done that to her before. She didn't know what to do. The feeling was confusing. It was weird but also felt so incredible. She didn't know whether to tell him to stop or not. She closed her eyes tightly. She moaned but didn't even realize at first that it was her making the sound. She tried to pull away a bit when she felt his tongue.

Harry realized she'd probably never experienced this before. He felt her body jump, but he also knew it could make her feel a high she'd never had. He held her hips tighter when she tried to pull away. When her body twisted and turned under his hands, he knew she was realizing just how good it could feel. When he felt her arch her back, he moved his tongue quicker.

"Harry, stop, please." The pleasure was so intense her pain receptors were reacting in connection with the pleasure. She wasn't sure if she should scream or cry.

When he heard the emotion in her voice, he pulled away slowly. He quickly removed his pants and boxers and slowly entered her. He wanted her as close to her orgasm as possible, because he knew he wouldn't be able to last long. He started moving slowly at first, but when the nails from one of her hands dug into his back and the other became tangled in his hair, he moved harder and faster.

Before they both knew it, they were coming down from their high. It was intense. And hot.

Julie tried to catch her breath. She was overwhelmed in a whole new way. The pleasure she'd felt with his mouth and tongue on her was indescribable. She had never experienced that herself before. She now knew the lure. It was a feeling like no other. She slowly unwrapped her legs from around Harry's waist as he lay on top of her. She rubbed over his back and felt the scratches she had left. Oh, geez. She hadn't even realized it. "Oh, I'm so sorry."

"Oh, don't be sorry." Harry said finally picking his head up from her shoulder. "That was amazing. I hope you feel that way, too."

"Me? Oh geez, how could I not? I didn't know, I mean, I never felt. I never knew..." she struggled to put her thoughts into words.

"Yeah, I figured. But trust me, it's going to keep happening. You feeling that way is a definite plus for me." He said rolling off her and lying next to her. He pulled the blankets up over them and held her to him. "You're needs, feelings, and pleasure are just as important, baby. Remember that." He kissed her head. "I just want to hold you like this. Sleep like this. Feeling your skin on mine. Ok?"

"Ok." She said. She was still a bit uncomfortable staying naked. Not cleaning up and getting dressed, but she did love the feeling of his skin on hers. His chest against hers. "I don't know what to say."

He chuckled. "It's ok, baby, as long as you're happy and satisfied, then that's all that matters."

"Once again, you surprise me. I don't know how I got so lucky." She kissed his lips and then settled back next to him. "Don't let me go. Please." She said yawning and closing her eyes.

"Not a chance." He said. He held her tightly until he felt her breathing even out, and he knew she was asleep. He pulled back slightly just to watch her for a few minutes. He wanted to see if she truly was more relaxed, less stressed. When she was asleep, she couldn't pretend. He was happy to see that she did seem less on edge. It was still there, but there was a definite change. He hoped, mostly for her sake, that she was able to overcome the chaos in her head and her past. He hoped he'd be there to watch the transformation. He was proud of her. He'd forgiven her. He felt it in his heart. He was all in again. He closed his eyes and fell asleep tangled up with the girl he loved.

Niall stood up from lighting the fire in their room. "You'll be warmer, Princess, in just a minute." He turned around and rubbed Amanda's arms.

"You just had to start a snow fight with JJ, huh? Soon as you did, I knew we were all going to be cold and wet." She laughed.

"Yeah, well, what can I say? Sometimes she needs to have fun and splashing me with water or throwing snow at me, seems to make her happy." Niall said laughing.

"Yeah, you do tend to bring that out in her." She said. "I guess it's good she doesn't seem to think she has to protect you. Which is weird because everyone else seems to want to protect you all the time." Amanda laughed.

"I'm not sure why it's like that with her and I. It just seems to happen. I hope you're not mad." He said.

"Oh, no. I'm not mad. She's more careful around Harry and I. She seems to think more before she acts. With you, and even with Louis when he played his prank, she seems to just react more. I'm glad she has that with you. I hope she starts to be that way more often with me and Harry. Maybe I am just a bit jealous though. She's my best friend." Amanda play pouted at Niall.

"Oh, here we go. You think I'm trying to steal her again. I told you. Just share." Niall said playing along. "It's ok, Princess." He took her hands and led her to the blanket he had spread out in front of the fireplace. "Why don't we sit down here in front of the fire for a while?" He helped sit her down and then wrapped his arms around her from behind.

"Well, isn't this perfect." She said leaning back against him.

"It's always perfect when we're together." He kissed the side of her neck.

She leaned her head to the side while he kissed her neck. "I think it's going to get hot in here real quick." She said.

"Yeah, well maybe that was the plan." He pulled at her shirt. "I think if you're hot then you should lose this shirt." He said pulling it up, running his hands over her stomach.

"Oh, yeah, I think that's a great idea." After she shivered at his hands finding her stomach, she let him pull her shirt off over her head. "But only if you do, too. You have to be hot." She turned around and helped him out of his shirt.

He put his hands on her hips and pulled her to him. He found her lips and kissed her deeply. He ran his hands to the clasp of her bra and undid it. He sat back and slowly removed the straps from her arms and watching her chest. She was perfect to him. He took his thumb and gently ran it over one of her nipples. Watching intently when he did. He loved to see her reaction. He brought his other thumb up and teased her other nipple. She looked so amazing in the light of the fire. "You're incredibly beautiful, Princess."

"Oh, you are such a tease sometimes." She said closing her eyes. "And so sweet. You're touch drives me crazy." When she laid her head back, she felt him aggressively kiss and suck the front of her neck. "Oh my." She said. She ran her hands over his shoulders and down his back. "I've missed you so much.

"I missed you, too." Niall said pulling back enough to lay her back. He kissed down her stomach and to the waistline of her pants. "Think you can handle this, right here, in front of the fire?" He asked her running his finger inside the waistline of her pants.

"Niall, I swear to you, you'd better stop teasing me." She said watching him closely.

"Oh, but I love the way you react." He said to her. He removed her pants completely and ran his hands up her legs and up her stomach and back over her breasts. When her body shivered, he smiled. "I love it, and I love you." He kissed her deeply.

"Fucking tease." She said breathless when they broke the kiss.

"Oh, we will get there." He said. He chuckled when she became impatient and reached down and pushed his sweats down and ran her hands over his ass. "Impatient."

"Yes, I am." She said. She sat up and helped him out of the rest of his clothes. "I'm ready." She pushed him backwards and straddled his waist. "If you aren't going to take control then I am." She moved her hips slowly over him and felt him harden.

"You're the fucking tease." He said reaching up and squeezing her breasts.

"Right now, maybe a little. But I'm still impatient." She said lifting herself and helping him enter her. She closed her eyes and put her hands on his chest. God, the feeling he gave her. She opened her eyes, looked down at him, and started moving slowly.

Niall watched her body. He loved to watch her while she was on top. He ran his hands to her ass and helped her move a little quicker and a little harder. When he saw her bite her lip and moan a little, he moved his hips up harder each time she came down on him. He became impatient at that moment. He lifted her, rolled her over, and reentered her quickly. He thrust hard, pulling her hips to him as he did.

Amanda was slightly caught off guard when he thrust so hard into her. "Oh, babe." She moaned. Every thrust brought her closer to her high. She brought her legs up higher for easier access. She felt him deeper and deeper inside her. She started to orgasm. Her body released when he was still moving. His thrusting caused her to orgasm longer than she'd anticipated. At her highest point, she felt him release. They were in sync in their orgasms and coming down. She lifted her head and kissed his lips. "God, you make me feel things no one else has."

He collapsed down on her. "Yeah, I know the feeling." He kissed her neck again. "I can't stand being away from you."

Amanda smiled. "Yeah, but for now, coming back to this is ok with me."

"Oh, yeah." Niall laughed. "Me too." He slowly got up and helped her up. "I'm exhausted now." He wrapped his arms around her. "Clean up and bed?" He asked.

"Oh yeah. In your arms. No better thought." She said. "We can clean up the floor in the morning." After they cleaned up, she climbed into bed beside him. "I'm so glad we have almost a week together before you have to leave again."

"Me too, baby. Me too." He kissed her. "I love you,Princess. I hope you sleep well."

"Being in your arms, I will sleep great. I already know it." She closed her eyes. "I love you too, my Prince. I love you, too."
