Page 25 of Never Forget You

If I could doanythingother than cave, then I would, but I’m too turned on. I need him too much. I slide down, taking all of his magnificent length inside me, and I groan with ecstasy. God, this man feels so good inside me. Having sex with Harry is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before, and I just know that it will always feel like this. Now, somehow, we are going to get to keep one another, which means I can always have this.

It isn’t long before the orgasm gets me the second time. The second one is somehow a million times more intense than the first. I find it impossible to keep the noise down this time. I become completely out of control of my body, so it’s good that Harry grabs my cheeks and kisses me hard to swallow up my yelling.

Our bond tightens. I feel us growing closer by the second, and I love it. It feels wonderful. I’m overwhelmed with emotion. I hook my arms around Harry’s neck, almost refusing to let go because I need him so badly…

But of course, I have to eventually. It’s the only way that this is going to work. We peel apart from one another and get ourselves dressed. Harry has to go. I don’t want him to go. I would much rather us spend the night in bed together, but this isn’t just about us. We have to protect Ella as well. She doesn’t want to go to bedand wake up in the morning to find me and her teacher in bed together. That would be too much.

No, we need to take this slowly, carefully, cautiously… but to know that we are going to end up together at the end of it for sure makes it totally worth it. I can handle anything, for him, for us. We’ve waited for ten years to end up together, so we can wait a little longer. Especially if we can have secret little trysts like this. That will keep us going. I can see it in the twinkle in his eyes that he’s happy too. We’re both calm now, happy and in love. The rest will come together when the time is right.

HARRY

Three Weeks Later…

God, I can’t wait. I’m absolutely overexcited in a way that I probably shouldn’t be, but I just can’t help myself. Georgia and I have been seeing one another in secret for nearly a month now, hanging out in private once we can get a moment alone as much as we can, but now, for the first time, we’re going out in public. We’re having an actual date. Sure, no one knows about us yet, even if there have probably been whispers about us because gossip is always rife in this town, but she seems to have decided that she doesn’t mind and is finally letting me take her out.

Ella is such good friends with Josie now that they have a lot of slumber parties at one another’s houses. Tonight, Ella will be out for the night, which is why it’s the perfect time for us to finally have this date. I’m dressed up more than I normally would, and I think that Georgia will be as well, and we’re going to have dinner in public.

This might not be a massive step for other people, it’s probably their first step into a relationship, but we always seem to dothings backward. So, we’ve been in love for a decade in secret because there have always been things in the way, andnowwe’re going out to dinner. What a ridiculous love story, but perfect for me. My God, I don’t mind how we get to our happily ever after as long as we make it there together.

“You look good,” I declare as a much-needed confidence boost to my reflection in the mirror. “Very good.”

I can’t stop smiling to myself. Even knowing that a lot of people will have reservations about me and Georgia if they find out that we are in fact together, I don’t care because we both know that we are together for a reason. Fate has brought her back to me, and we’re going to live out our happily ever after. Soon enough, everyone who has had doubts about us will see that as well. Then they will be okay with it, I just know it.

We’ve fought so hard to get to where we are today. I don’t see life throwing any more tests our way.

I drive over to Georgia’s place with a giant smile on my face and my heart racing in my chest. My pulse only pounds harder when I step through the door and I see her in a gorgeous form fitting red dress which clings to her curves perfectly. She looks like a goddess, like an absolute beauty queen. Far too good to be with me, yet she’s looking at me like she feels the same way about me, which has my stomach engulfed in flames.

“Wow,” I murmur as I grab onto her hips to pull her close to me, just to check that she’s real. “You are incredible. You look stunning. I can’t believe how beautiful you are. You really do blow me away.”

She giggles and blushes a beautiful shade of red. “Well, I have to admit, you don’t look too bad yourself. I’ve always thoughtof you as my rugged, manly man, but you also scrub up well. Is there nothing you can’t do?”

Her compliments warm me up because they are always so unexpected. Even though she is always so nice to me, it’s unbelievable to have someone so perfect really feel this way about me. I don’t take this for granted at all. I know for sure how lucky I am. I hold out my hand, and she takes it, still something which seems like a big deal to me and probably always will, and we start the walk to the fancy Italian restaurant just around the corner that I’m sure Georgia will like. She adores pasta… something that I’ve only learned about her as an adult. Funny, how I thought I knew it all when we were kids, but really, I didn’t know much about her at all. Now, I’m getting much better.

“I know this place might not be as fancy as you are used to, but I hope you’ll like it.”

“Will you stop being so paranoid?” She pokes me in the side playfully. “How many times do I have to tell you that I hated all of that fancy stuff? It always made me feel really uncomfortable, and it reminds me of a life that I didn’t want, anyway. I wouldn’t like it if you were taking me to the same sort of place.Iwill be the one takingyouout soon, anyway, if I land this work from home science research position which I amreallyeager for.”

I’ve had everything crossed for Georgia ever since she applied for this position. I know how hard the job hunt has been for her. She has been aiming for anything and anyone who will employ her but hasn’t had much luck, I guess because she hasn’t had any work experience before… but she does have education on her side this time, so I’m really hoping that she has some luck this time around. She needs this, and I want it for her. Once she has this sorted, everything will start to feel much better for her here, I’m sure of it. Georgia needs this purpose.

“I’m sure you will hear back soon.” I squeeze her hand reassuringly. “And if they don’t hire you, well, they will be crazy, won’t they? Because they won’t find someone as amazing and hard working as you.”

“You have to say that, don’t you?” She giggles. “So I don’t freak out and ruin this night.”

“Nothing will ruin this night,” I assure her. “This is our first proper date, and I think it will be wonderful.”

We take our seats opposite and watch one another over our menus. I feel giggly and young as we order our food, a bit like we have gone back in time and in the best way possible. I’m really enjoying myself already and we haven’t even begun yet. I have a feeling that we are going to want to do this all the time from now on. Tonight might be the start of our finally coming out in the open, and that will be the best thing to ever happen to us.

“I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in forever.” Georgia howls as she clutches her stomach. “Oh, my God, Harry, you make me laugh so much, I can’t cope. I think everyone in that place was looking at us.”

“I didn’t notice,” I tell her honestly. “I only had eyes for you all night long. In that dress… wow.”

She spins toward me and kisses me fully in public. I don’t know if there is anyone around, and it doesn’t seem like either of us cares. I suppose soon enough, this means we will have to tell Ella about us or she might hear about us from someone else. Iknow that Georgia is worried, but I think that her daughter will be okay.

“You are coming back to mine, right?” Georgia asks me with a cheeky twinkle in her eye. I know exactly what that means and immediately, I’m on fire. Honestly, we can’t get enough of one another. The chemistry is electric.

“Oh, I’ve had a drink or two,” I tease. “So, I think I’m going to have to. I can’t leave until tomorrow morning.”
