Forever You - Evening the Score // Book Two

Chapter 1

-------------------

Harry insisted on making Elena dinner that evening. He obviously had a scene in mind, being that the fireplace was going even though it was one of the hotter days in London, the table was set with two place settings and candles and he'd bought a ridiculously expensive bottle of wine. Elena leaned over the kitchen island to rest her elbows on the countertop as she watched him prepare their meal,

"Ya know...we just coulda done take out."

Harry scoffed,

"Please. Wasn't about to welcome you to your first day living here with some nasty take out."
Elena finished her sip of wine,

"Kebabs are not nasty."

Harry gently covered Elena's hand with his as they sat down to eat. He beamed at her as he chewed,

"So, My Love, what's the plan once I let you out of our bedroom?"

Elena felt her thighs clench together. Good thing they were underneath the table. She smiled,

"I have to get a physical next week and then I can choose between teams."

If it was possible to grow Harry's smile, that news did it. He squeezed her hand,

"Have I told you how proud I am of you? I like being able to brag that my girl has her choice of the team she wants to play for because they all want her."

"I wouldn't go that far."

"You didn't." Harry countered, "I did."

"What are your plans once I let you out of our bedroom?" Elena asked.

Harry laughed,

"I'm gonna go get my ass kicked on a movie set for 14 hours and then come home to lay my head in your lap until I fall asleep."

Elena smiled without hesitation. That was music to her ears. She had about a month before she would have to be anywhere near a soccer field and she couldn't wait until she could pamper him.

Elena watched him for a moment. He looked so happy and alive, it made her giddy with excitement to see how refreshed he was. It made her proud to feel like she might have had something to do with it.

She watched as his eyes rested on hers, finally setting down her fork and pushing back from the table. Elena has been deprived of Harry for far too long. She needed to feel his strength again. Sometimes it felt like it was the only thing anchoring her to the earth.

She held his gaze as she stood, his eyes suddenly dripping with craving as he looked on her. She reached up to the tie around her neck holding her sundress up. She pinched the strings between her fingers, pulling at it until it untied.

Harry watched with intense interest as the dress fluttered down and away, revealing her completely naked body.

He swallowed, his body moving almost without command as he pushed back from the table. Elena watched as he stepped towards her, his eyes drinking her in entirely before they met hers again. He lifted his hand to her cheek. Elena gripped his arms, her body shaking gently when his other hand rested against her hip,

"Say something." She whispered.

Harry stayed silent for a moment, his head shaking back and forth as a gentle smile curved up the corners of his mouth,

"Words can't do you justice, Pretty Girl."

Elena's neck tipped back from the force of his mouth on hers. He helped Elena get his shirt and pants off before he pulled her back up into his arms. Elena wrapped her legs around his waist, her arms securing around his neck as he walked them to the couch.
