Harley clenched onto the covers as he stared at the door, contemplating whether he should even open it or not. He wanted to, but something warned him against it. His love for her was just about to reach it’s limit and he didn’t know if he was going to even be able to actually let her go the more time they spend together.
It was a temptation he wasn’t willing to face.
“Harley?” She called again as she stared up at the crescent moon, biting onto her lower lip as she played with her fingers in nervousness.
“I’ll be right there.” Harley sighed out as he said out. He ran a nervous hand through his hair as he slowly stood up from the bed, feeling his knees shake a little as his stomach felt nauseated.
He shakily reached for the door handle, his heart loudly thudding in his chest, screaming to break out and go insane. His breathing quickened uncontrollably as he held onto the handle.
Taking in a sharp breath, he clicked the handle and opened the door, only to stare into those familiar brown eyes.
“took you long enough.” She chuckled lowly as she smiled awkwardly.
His eyes dropped from her eyes and down to her lips, suddenly re-imagining the first kiss of his life. The first kiss he’d ever have with anyone ever since, and it was with the girl his heart had been beating for sadly enough, she didn’t return it wholeheartedly.
He blinked a few times and dropped his eyes to the ground from her lips, only to raise them back up when he noticed she was clearly wearing a revealing nightgown.
The nightgown reached her mid-thighs but exposed what was hiding underneath it. It was an originally velvet color but with a see-through material. Her blacked laced bra and underwear were only revealed, so clear that he could easily tell what her skin tone was.
He shifted his eyes elsewhere as his cheeks slowly burned from realization that he had just seen her naked form.
He had never seen this nightgown before. Even as they were best friends with no feelings revealed. She always wore large T-shirts and nightgowns that weren’t as revealing as this one.
“so, what is it?” Harley asked as he reconnected their eyes. His fingers tapped against the door frame as he tried to keep himself calmed down and act as normal as possible, but with her standing in front of him was making it a little too difficult for him. Not to mention, she also looks fresh from the shower and her hair seemed part wet and part dry. Her eyelashes were still covered with some water making her eyes seem as though they were glowing.
The longer he stared, the more irresistible she became. Her beauty was, in short, beyond what he could imagine.
“um…” she chuckled as she glanced around herself and glanced back at him with furrowed brows. “the corridor isn’t the best place we could talk.”
“Oh, right.” He stepped aside as he allowed her to get in, instantly warning himself of the choice.
He could dismiss her and talk to her in the morning but he just simply didn’t want to. A part of him wanted Hope to stay and a part of him wanted her to go. Sadly enough, the larger part wanted her to stay.
“wow. Nice room. Mines black and white themed.” She chuckled as she threw herself onto the bed in a sitting position. She bounced a little as she felt the softness, smiling a bit with a short giggle as he closed the door.
“What was it you wanted to talk about?” Harley asked again as he stood at the door, failing to walk over to her.
“it’s almost as though I’m diseased.” She chuckled out as she patted the spot on the bed beside her. “why wont you sit?”
“I’m perfectly fine standing.” Harley shrugged his shoulders as he glanced towards the ground.
“Are you shy, Harley?” Hope chuckled with a small grin, causing Harley to glance up to her. She patted the spot beside her again, motioning him to sit next to her. “Come on, I won’t bite.”
“Hope…. Please,” Harley sighed out shakily as he took in a sharp breath. “I don’t want to do something you wouldn’t want me to. So I’m fine standing here.” Harley admitted as he glanced towards the floor.
A small frown made its way towards Hope’s lips as she glanced down to her thighs. She bit onto her lower lip ever so roughly, almost tiring it up, only to sigh heavily.
“Are you really considering making Anna your mate when we get back?” Hope asked as she glanced up at Harley who glanced at her as well.
“well….” He trailed off as he pressed his lips together. “she’s the only one…. Willing to even be my mate-,”
“there are lots of girls in our pack who told me they wanted to be with you and you turned them all down.” Hope said with a deep from as she stared at him. “I mean… they are all pretty and you’re friends with them but you didn’t even think about them, but you want to have Anna as a mate? She’s just a stranger-.”
“what the hell do you want me to do!?” Harley yelled glared at her this time, causing her to flinch a bit in shock. “I refused all the other girls because I loved you. I didn’t want to be anyone but you… was I wrong to do that? Was I wrong to imagine being with you?” he asked as he frowned at her. “I know…. That it was a stupid dream and I don’t I don’t know why I thought it would come true but I still went on, even after you married. I still didn’t want to be with anyone else.”
“Harley….” Hope trailed of as she started and clenched the covers. “I’m sorry… I was just a little mad over Anna, I didn’t mean to start pinning you down.” She sighed out and smiled weakly. “I saw how much attention you gave her and how little you gave me. It was almost as though we were the strangers instead. I felt bad about it and wanted to gain your attention, that’s why I wanted to seat with you that time. Then you denied me and I felt on edge the entire time.” She chuckled out as she stood up and bit onto her lower lip as she walked towards him slowly. “I don’t understand why I always want you tagging around and giving me all your attention. I never noticed that I loved having you round. I love Ace…-,” she said as she stopped in front of Harley who stared down at her with slightly wide eyes. “-but I’m scared of losing you.” She chuckled as her eyes soaked in tears before she shut her eyes and suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, bringing her lips against his within seconds.
