Harry started a fire in the bedroom and turned around to see Julie sitting on the edge of the bed taking her shoes off. He seemed to be in the habit of just watching her lately. He always wanted to see if there was any change he could notice. It felt rather silly, since he seemed to do it so often this trip; how could she change in seconds? She seemed softer. Ok, so that sounded bad in his head, but the edge wasn't so sharp. The longer they were here, the more he realized just how on edge she had been previously. She felt more open. More approachable. The almost constant wrinkle between her eyebrows was gone. She was definitely different. He smiled when she picked up her head and smiled at him. When she stood up, he took two long strides and grabbed her into his arms. "Hey beautiful. Have I told you that this is going to be our year?"

Julie smiled at him. "You may have mentioned it before." She stood on her toes and wrapped her arms around his neck. She kissed his lips and then went to let go.

"Whoa, oh no, where do you think you're going?" He said holding her in place.

"Um, to change?" She gave him a look.

"Um, no. There's no need for that right now." He ran his hands down over her shoulders. "I told you what was going to happen. You should not be surprised right now. Did you get the zipper fixed, or am I going to have to work for it again tonight?" He asked huskily.

"Harry." She shivered at his hands on her bare shoulders. "I...I didn't get it fixed but it seems to work ok." She laughed. "God damn, the things you can do to me with just a touch."

He leaned down and kissed her shoulder lightly. Running his hands lightly and teasingly down her arms. "Yeah, cuz I swear you don't even have to touch me and you do it to me." He leaned down and kissed the side of her neck and then gently ran his tongue down her neck. "I wasn't lying earlier, baby; this dress isn't lasting on your body much longer."

"Oh, my god, Harry." She kind of giggled. He never really talked to her this much. Well, probably because she was always telling him to shut up. It embarrassed her. "Why are you talking so much?"

"I want you to know." He kissed the front of her neck making her head go back exposing her neck to him. "That I think you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, that I want you more than anything, every minute." He put one hand on one side of her neck and kissed and nuzzled the other side.

"Oh geez," she mumbled. "You're driving me crazy."

"That's the whole point." He ran his hand behind her and grabbed the zipper. He smiled against her neck when it came down with ease. "Ah, lucky for me." He slowly slid the zipper down and stepped back a small step. He slid the straps down her shoulders and her arms. He watched as it dropped away from her. He was enjoying seeing her skin steadily become more exposed. Every inch of it. She may have been self-conscious, and he knew why, but he loved every curve, every soft inch of skin. "God, how did I get so lucky?"

"You're way too nice to me." She shivered. "Except when you're teasing me. Good god, stop it." She said with her eyes closed biting her bottom lip. She had goosebumps from his touch.

He smiled as she shivered and watched her face as she closed her eyes and bit her lip. God, he was having a hard time keeping this up. He just wanted to rip the damn dress off. When the dress finally hit the ground, he grabbed her hands quickly as he knew her first instinct would be to cover up. "No, no, no," he said. "You're beautiful. Don't you cover up. There is nothing wrong with any part of you." He leaned down and kissed her scar on her shoulder. "And everything you think is ugly just shows your journey and how strong you were." He lifted her chin. "Open your eyes, baby." He said softly.

Julie took a deep breath. This was so intense for her. She was ok with the sex. She was ok with how things had gone before, but he was being so intimate right now. So deep, and that was the part she had a hard time with. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up into his eyes. They were dancing with feeling. They were dark, and she could see the want in them. They pierced into her soul. "Harry. You're scaring me." She said quietly glancing away from his eyes.

"No, baby. Look back at me, please." He waited until her eyes met his again. "It's time you realized how much you mean to me. I know it's hard for you but don't hide. Don't cover yourself." He ran his thumb over her lips and smiled when she kissed it. He then ran his hand down her neck and over her chest.

"Harry, this, it's too uncomfortable." She could feel his eyes on her body, and she was extremely nervous. There was usually so much more action, so she didn't feel so exposed. She now felt extremely revealed, extremely vulnerable. She had opened up herself emotionally so much these past few days, and now physically, he was basically studying her body. It was so much. She took a chance. She reached up and pulled his face to hers and kissed him aggressively. She ran her tongue over his lips to try to get him to grant her access. She groaned when he didn't and pulled back from her.

"No, baby. I'm not letting you distract me with that. I know how you work. This is a brand-new start, to a brand-new year, and a brand new us. I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. I really do. I don't see all the faults you find. I see a beautiful woman, with a beautiful heart who has been hurt and let down so much she would rather hide her true beauty and her true self. One who hides behind her sass, so she doesn't have to accept how deep feelings can run." He knew he was pushing her, but he also knew she needed to hear it. She needed to accept it.

"Harry, please. Don't make me cry right now." She didn't break eye contact with him though. She took a step closer to him and buried herself into his chest.

He chuckled. "Alright baby, but I'm going to keep telling you until you believe me." He rubbed his hands down her back.

"That's an awful big commitment." She said taking a deep breath and taking in his scent. "I'm not sure if you noticed, but I'm kind of stubborn. Strong-willed."

"Oh, I've noticed." He said. The feel of her skin was turning him on more and more. He could hardly control himself anymore.

Julie's eyes widened when she could feel what was happening to him. She had barely touched him, and she could feel the strain on his zipper against her stomach. She took a step back and reached up and started unbuttoning his shirt slowly. Her hands were shaking. It was like it was new, even though it wasn't. Everything he said to her was running through her mind. It was so much. She ran her hands up his stomach, over his chest pushing his shirt down over his shoulders and down his arms.

He watched her closely. He saw her hands shake, but he let her go. Her touch on his stomach caused him to gasp. He watched her hands slowly go to his belt and then to the button on his jeans. Jesus, she was going to cause him to go insane. As much as they had been together, this was intense. All the feeling that was let out on this trip seemed to have changed things drastically. Her small hands undoing his button and then zipper were something he couldn't take his eyes off of. They had always seemed in a rush before. Never enough time. Always something to do. Right now, it was all about them and their time together. No rush, no plans. Nothing but each other. He was having a hard time not just grabbing her right now. God, he wanted his hands on her. He let her continue though. When her fingers ran inside the elastic of his boxers he took in a sharp breath. "You are killing me right now." He practically growled at her.

Julie looked at him as she slowly pushed his jeans and boxers down squatting down as she did. She let him step from them and then ran her hands up his legs as she slowly stood back up. Her hand ran over his stomach and then down again and she wrapped her fingers around him. She bit her lip when he gasped, and she watched him throw his head back. She wasn't quite sure how, but she wanted him to feel the same way he had made her feel before.

Harry brought his head forward, put his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes. "God damn. I like the confidence. Don't stop. Do what you feel." He struggled to get out. He watched her hand move on him. Her hand looked so small, but it did exactly what it needed to. She felt amazing. He moved one of his hands from her shoulder to her breast and over her erect nipple, circling his finger there.

Julie took a deep breath and thought about it. No don't think, feel, she told herself. She turned him around and laid him back on the bed climbing up between his legs. She ran her hands up his legs again and to his stomach. She glanced up at his face and smirked as her head got closer to his middle.

"Oh Christ," Harry said as she smirked at him. He could tell exactly what she was going to do. As she got closer, he actually held his breath and when her mouth found him he grabbed the sheets in each hand. "Oh, fuck." He wasn't expecting this, but the feeling was amazing. The only other time she'd done this, he hadn't been able to take it for long. He was pretty sure he wouldn't be able too this time either. He was right. The high came quickly. There was no way he was going to be able to hold out. "Shit, baby, stop." When she didn't, he took matters into his own hands. He wanted to be with her, in her. He grabbed her underneath her arms and flipped her over aggressively and wasted no time entering her. Thrusting hard and quick.

Julie was caught off guard when he flipped her over so roughly. She tensed up a bit at the aggressiveness. She closed her eyes and gasped when he shoved into her. "Oh." She groaned. It was scary for a second. She reminded herself who she was with and that it was all ok and managed to relax quickly.

"Sorry." Harry said. "I'm so sorry." He probably scared her. He had to remember the aggressiveness wasn't good for her. He slowed and tried to relax some.

"No, no." Julie said digging her nails into his back. "Don't stop. I'm good." The feeling he gave her was always so incredible. He didn't need to be someone else. She was ok. She wasn't her past anymore.

When Harry felt her hands go down to his hips, her nails digging in pulling him closer to her, and her hips start to mimic his movement; he lost control. A few more thrusts and he was done. He groaned as he released his high, his head slumping forward as he kept moving through his release.

Julie felt him let go. God, she loved being able to make him feel like that. She never felt she had that much power, but when she made him feel good, it was so amazing. She didn't think she was ready, but a few more thrusts, and she reached her high too, and her body started to shake and release, and she came down with him. She took a few deep breaths to get back under control.

Harry collapsed down onto her. "Jesus, baby," he said struggling to catch his breath. "That was amazing."

Julie laughed. "I'm not complaining. We are always great in this department."

"We are great everywhere; but yeah, this, I won't ever have any complaints about. You wore me out." He said pushing himself off of her and lying right by her side. He pulled her as close to him as he could. "I love you, Julie, no matter what." He kissed her head as his breathing slowed and became steady.

Julie looked over at him. He had fallen asleep. She giggled. She still couldn't believe she could do that to him. "I love you too, Harry." She kissed his chin and pulled the sheets up around them. She needed him. She needed his arms. She was going to be in them for as much as she could before he had to leave her again. She had never felt so lucky.

When they walked into their room, Amanda spun Niall around and pushed him up against the wall. "Happy New Year, my Prince." She said as she aggressively pushed her lips to his.

Niall laughed when he felt himself being pushed against the wall. "Well Happy New Year, Princess." He tried to wrap his arms around Amanda's waist, but she pushed his arms against the wall, and he laughed again. "Well, aren't we being a bit aggressive tonight?"

"Oh yes," Amanda said. "You are all mine." She giggled as she didn't let him move. "I'm taking all the control." She moved her hands to his stomach and up his shirt pushing it up over his head. "Don't fight me. You won't win." She giggled again.

"Now, why would I fight?" He said as she slid his shirt over his head. "I am your slave, my love." He watched her closely. He loved her smile. The shine in her eyes. He loved to see her happy. And that giggle. It made his heart melt.

"Good boy." She kissed his chest and ran her hands down to his belt.

"My only complaint." Niall said watching her. "Is why are you still in that dress?"

"Patience, my dear, patience." She smiled at him and undid his belt. She ran her hands over his waist.

"Amanda." He growled at her. "Stop teasing."

"Oh, no. I remember a number of times when you teased me." She said slowly undoing his button. "So, now you deal with the torture."

"Oh, so not nice." He said watching her closely. Pushing his hands back against the wall because he was so tempted to just push back and rip that dress off her.

"Oh, it's nice. You won't complain at the end." She said to him slowly lowering his zipper.

"I'm sure I won't; but I'm not sure I'm going to hold back much longer." He said watching her closely still.

"I'm not scared of you." She laughed as she ran her hand inside of his pants and stroked him gently.

"Oh, that's it." He said as he took his hands from the wall and removed her dress quickly. "I'm not having this right now." He grabbed her waist in both his hands and pull her roughly too him. "No teasing. Just satisfying." He said as he pressed his lips to hers and forcefully parted her lips to start a rough tongue fight.

Amanda giggled onto his lips. Oh, yes. She thought to herself. I can handle this. She adored impatient Niall when it came to the bedroom. She kissed him back deeply and then broke the kiss and stepped back. "Oh, you think you're getting control?" She said backing up a few more steps.

"Yes." He said quickly stepping towards her and grabbing her again. "I will have you right where I want you." He said as he removed her bra and panties.

"Holy shit, babe." She said laughing. "I guess you're ready." She had felt him press up against her. She helped him quickly remove the rest of his clothing. "You are an amazing sight."

"Not as amazing as you are beautiful. I love every inch of you. Starting from the inside right on to the outside, from your nose to your toes." He kissed her again and picked her up around the waist. "I'm taking you to bed. Like now." He said as he put her on the bed and climbed over her. He ran his hands up her legs. "Now, should I tease you?"

"No," she said laughing. "You should not. I was trying to take control and you ruined it."

"I didn't ruin it. It will be great." He said as his mouth kissed up her thigh. "I think I will start here." He said as he got closer to his target. He ran his tongue over her and grinned when she gasped.

"Oh, geez, it was supposed to be my show." She said arching her back and closing her eyes. "Damn, Niall."

He continued to work her up with his mouth. He loved the way he could make her feel, the way her body twisted and turned under him. He could feel her approaching her high, and that's when he couldn't take it anymore. He moved up quickly and found her lips kissing her aggressively and deeply. He moved over her and entered her. He started slowly at first. She felt so amazing around him.

"Oh, no." Amanda said as he started moving slowly. He had her all worked up from his mouth, and she was not going to take the slow and easy route. Screw that. She pushed him over and climbed on top. "You can't do that." She helped position him so he entered her again and started moving on him. She moved fast and hard.

Niall groaned. God, she felt amazing, and the view of her on top was incredible. It was hard to keep his eyes open; it felt so good, but he watched her movements and her beautiful body. No woman every made him feel like this. He felt so fortunate. He reached up and squeezed her breasts. "God, Princess." He bit his lip. When she leaned forward he kissed her and bit her lip gently. "I won't last...." He said.

"That's the point." She said closing her eyes a second. "Neither will I." She moved faster and leaned backwards. "Shit." She moved a few more times and reached her high. When Niall used his hand to rub her to increase her sensation, she swore. "Fuck!" The feeling intensified. Holy shit. She didn't know sex with him could get better, but every time it did. Every time, they learned more and more about each other.

"Damn, Amanda!" Niall said loudly as she started to clench around him. He reached such a high, he wasn't sure he was going to come down when he started. It took a couple more movements from her, but he felt like he exploded inside of her. "Oh my..." He said trying to relax. "You feel more amazing every time." He kept his eyes closed and rubbed over her legs.

"I was just thinking the same thing." Amanda said as she took a few more deep breaths and then lay down on top of him, smiling as he rubbed her back. "God, I love you."

He laughed. "I love you, too, Princess. And not just because you make me feel like that either. But it is
a definite plus." He laughed again as she bit his shoulder. When she rolled over to his side, he sat up and grabbed the blanket. He pulled her to him and then covered them up. "I'm now exhausted. You wear me out."

"I did most of the work." Amanda laughed as she snuggled up to him. "I should be worn out."

Niall laughed. "Yeah, well too bad, because I'm worn out. So will you be quiet, so we can go to sleep?"

"God, how romantic Niall." Amanda laughed at him but closed her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, romantic later. Sleep now." He kissed her head and whispered, "I love you, Princess," one more time to her before he fell asleep with a smile.
