His eyes widened as he gasped internally completely taken aback by her action. Though it was sudden, he slowly closed his eyes and pressed back against her lips, feeling his heart suddenly sink as she returned it the way he wanted her to in the first place.
He slowly brought one hand down to her waist and the other to the back of her head. He brought her head slightly closer, deepening the kiss as his own body slowly began to warm up in temptation.
Just like any other werewolf, his body suddenly getting warmer only meant that he as starting to get excited.
A low internal growl radiated his throat as Hope slightly pressed her boy against his, feeling her own cheeks burn up from the sudden crawl and mixture of feelings erupting in her.
She had never felt this way about Harley before, better yet, she had never felt this aroused with anyone whilst sharing a simple kiss. She reached her fingers down to the beginning of his shirt and slipped her fingers in, touching the skin around his stomach and instantly sending an electric impulse throughout his entire body.
The sudden thought of Ace forced Harley to suddenly pulled Hope away from him, getting her to stumble back a bit in shock. She glanced up at him as she caught herself and frowned a bit.
“what’s wrong?” Hope asked as she stared at him with furrowed brows, staring at his somewhat guilty expression.
“we can’t.” Harley shook his head in denial as he stared at her. “I like Anna.” He shrugged his shoulders as he reached a nervous hand through his hair. “I don’t think we should do this.”
“since when…?” Hope asked as she furrowed her brows in disbelief. “since when was… she… I mean, since when did you start loving her?”
“during the trip here I guess. When we sat together she told me her story-.”
“Why are you lying to me?” Hope chuckled out forcefully as she stared at him. “what…. What did I do?”
“I just like Anna…. Okay?” he sighed out, running his fingers across his face in nervousness as he turned from her. “besides… Ace really likes you.”
“oh, so it’s Ace. Ace is the reason, right?” she asked as she frowned at him. “I was wondering how close you two were. I just didn’t want to assume since I felt like you wouldn’t easily let me go… but I guess you would.”
“Hey, don’t try to play the victim card here!” he clenched his jaw tightly as he glared at her. “you just came out of no where and kiss me as though…. As though you’ve always treated me like I was yours?” he asked as he stared into her disbelieving eyes. “you tossed me aside after that first kiss we had and slept with Ace. Did you honestly think it was okay for you to do that after I really expressed myself to you? I cried… that day I saw Ace’s bite marks on you I just reached my limit and cried. Why? Because it hurt me.” He sighed out as he walked over to the bed, throwing himself back as he say down lazily, feeling defeated already.
He was angry, but he didn’t want to vent on her. Of all people, he didn’t want Hope getting angry at him, even if it wasn’t his fault. Even if Hope was wrong, Harley would try to say it kindly that she was, bit if she insisted, he would agree with her in the end.
“I’m sorry.” Hope whispered out as she glanced towards the ground with a deep frown with her hair falling from her shoulders and slightly shielding her face. “I know I did all that, but I was confused. That’s why I ended up sleeping with him. He was only trying to convince me that I have no feelings for you.”
“Is I so bad to like me?” Harley asked as he glanced up at her in disbelief. “is there something wrong with me?”
“n-no.” she shook her head in denial as she bit onto her lower lip. “that’s why I don’t want to lose you…. I’m scared you’ll… end up forgetting me in the end. You’ll spend more time with Anna and I’ll end up losing the one I spent my entire life and time with.”
“so you only… kissed me now because you didn’t want to lose me?” he asked as he rose his brows at her.
“Yes.” She smiled slightly and chuckled nervously as she pushed her hair to the back of her ear.
“not because you love me?” he frowned at her, getting her to furrow her brows in confusion.
“I…. I mean at first it’s because I had to make you stay somehow…” she laced her fingers nervously only to have him get up and walk to her. She tensed at his sudden movement and felt her cheeks warm up slowly as he grabbed her shoulders. She stared into his deep brown eyes, staring with an anxious feeling bottling up in her stomach.
He then pushed her back and towards the door, getting her to furrow her brows in confusion. He opened the door and tried to push he out when she held onto the door frame, resisting.
“w-wait, let me finish!” she cried out as he struggled to push her out. “Harley!”
“you just wanted to keep me around like your shadow, didn’t you?” he hissed as he grabbed her wrists and tried to force her out when she painfully resisted.
“Wait, let me finish!” she hissed as she threw herself back, causing him to go off balance for a bit as she stumbled back while he moved from the door.
She ended up falling back and onto the ground, hitting her head against the hard wooden floor. The carpet did little to cushion her fall anyway. She flinched as she curled up into a ball and covered the back of her head where it hurt.
He stared down at her with a deep frown as she groaned out in pain, gently patting her head in the process.
“Talk quick. I want to sleep.” Harley sighed out in boredom as he rolled his eyes and folded his arms to his chest.
