My Heroine

The next 5 weeks passed by, at least to Lia, excruciatingly slow. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried to stay busy, to keep her mind off of everything, she always ended up thinking of him. She could never keep her mind off of the fact that in a few short weeks, the privacy they had both longed for would finally be possible.

Harry had been able to call a couple of more times before the 5 weeks were up. The phone calls would always leave Lia happy, feeling loved and a lot of times, turned on. He always made it a point before they had to hang up to tell her how much he loved her, and exactly what he had in mind for her when he finally got her alone. Having never been one to shy away from sometimes having to take things into her own hands, after his very last phone call, she had to do exactly that.

When she wasn’t able to talk to Harry, she found herself enjoying tea, lunches and at times, dinner with Gran and Grandpa. Lia had also become close to Kate, sometimes much to the chagrin of William. Together, the trio was able to set up the nursery using all neutral tones since the sex of the baby was still unknown. Will made sure to make comments concerning the amount of clothes the women had already bought for the baby stating: “There are enough clothes here to last us 1 month without having to wash anything.” Kate and Lia couldn’t help but laugh as they informed Will of just how wrong he was.

During the times that Will, Kate and Gran weren’t available, Lia would travel home to Winchester to see her family. On one occasion, much to Lia’s horror, her mother had invited a younger co-worker that was around Lia’s age home for dinner in hopes that they would hit it off. Lia left to London the next morning.

There were times that Lia regretted taking a couple of months off from her job at the hospital where she was a nurse. She knew that the hospital would have been able to keep her very busy and perhaps help the time apart go by a lot quicker. In the end though, Lia knew that after 8 months in Afghanistan, she was burnt out and needed these months off.

When the day finally arrived of Harry’s homecoming, Lia couldn’t control the excitement she felt. Lia knew that Charles and Will were picking him up from the airport, and would be having dinner at Will’s that night with Kate and Camilla joining. While she was upset that she couldn’t be the one to meet him when he got off the plane or attend the dinner that was to celebrate his homecoming, she knew that they weren’t ready to let the family in just yet; so she spent the time getting ready for him, she just hoped he enjoyed it.

*Harry*

Sighing, he looked at the watch that sat on his left wrist before looking around the table; his brother, father, sister-in-law and step mother were all laughing and talking, relaxed now that he was home. He couldn’t help but take another glance at his watch checking the time. When he looked up he noticed that Kate was watching him with a smirk, raising his brow at her in a silent question causing her to shake her head slightly.

Pushing around the food that sat in his plate, he looked at the watch for the third time in the past 10 minutes.

“Harry!” He heard Will say loudly, kicking him under the table. Harry looked up to see everyone staring at him.

“What? I’m sorry.” He noticed that while his father and Camilla had concerned looks on their faces, Will and Kate shared a knowing smirk.

“Harry, are you okay?” Charles asked looking at him.

“Yes, I’m fine. I’m just a little tired.”

Charles nodded going back to eating, but Harry noticed Will still smirking at him. Glaring his eyes at his brother, knowing that whatever was going to come out of his brother’s mouth wouldn’t be good.

“Are you sure that’s all Harry? You keep checking your watch; I can’t help but wonder if you have somewhere else more important to be.” Will said attempting to hold back the mocking grin that wanted to form. Harry could feel his fathers and step mothers eyes on his face.

“Of course not William like I said, I’m just tired. After all, I have just gotten home from Afghanistan only a few hours ago.”

“William, leave your brother alone.” Charles said looking between he sons with a look that meant business.

“So what are your plans tonight?” Will asked as Charles walked to the bathroom and Camilla was distracted by talking to Kate. Harry glared at Will again and the smirk on his face. “You are only distracted like that when there’s a girl.”

“Will, I’m tired, I just got home hours ago from a 5 month tour. Now drop it.” Charles walked back into the room announcing that he and Camilla were heading out. “I am too. Will, Kate thank you for the ‘Welcome Home’ dinner. Papa, Camilla I will see you soon.”

Harry kissed and hugged everyone, following his father and step mother outside. He waved as they got into their car before driving off. Walking over to the car that was waiting for him, he got in seeing the bag that he had asked his PO to put in the back seat right next to him. He said a quick hello to Jay his PO and Mike his driver as they started driving.

Taking out his cell phone, he sent a quick text to the person he was anxious to see. Harry could feel his heart rate increase at the thought that he would be with her soon; she would finally be in his arms, his lips would be able to press against hers. He couldn’t help but let his thoughts wonder to the amount of privacy they would finally be granted, of all the things he had planned for her. Harry felt himself harden slightly in his jeans; looking outside the window he silently hoped the car ride would be quick.

As Harry got closer to her flat after she had buzzed him in, he noticed that the door that was hers was open. Standing there with a smile on her face was Lia, leaning up against the doorway. The couple barely acknowledged Jay as he went into the flat after only receiving what could be barely considered a nod from Lia. Their eyes were locked as their bodies stood in front of one another, no words were said, no moves made to hug or kiss; they just said all that they needed to with their eyes.

“All set sir.” Jay muttered quietly walking out of the flat as Lia lead the way in. Harry’s arms wrapped themselves around her waist, once the door to the outside world was shut firmly. Lia’s arms rested on his shoulders as her hands gently pushed his head down to just inches apart.

“I love you.” She whispered to him feeling tears form in her eyes. He was home and he was safe. To her nothing else mattered.

“I love you.” He replied seeing the emotion in her face and eyes. Raising a hand to cup her face, his lips connected with hers. The kiss was innocent, loving as their lips moved softly against each other. Harry pulled his lips from hers, placing his forehead gently against hers. “I’ve missed you so much Angel. There’s been nothing I’ve wanted more than this moment, seeing you again, having you in my arms, feeling your lips on mine. You really did help me get through that last part. I don’t think there are enough words to explain just how much you mean to me; how much I love you.”

“So show me.” The look in her eyes drove him crazy. Harry placed one arm behind her knees with the other behind her back, picking her up. “Third door on the left.”

Once in the bedroom, he gently placed her on the bed feeling her hands pull him on top of her once again connecting their lips, this time in a fiery kiss. Lia’s hands roamed his body, her hands underneath his shirt feeling the warmth under the palms of her hands. A moan escaped Harry’s lips as he felt her nails scratch down his back. His hands gripped her hips tightly as he allowed his hips to grind into hers, the moan heard this time coming from her.

*M*

Removing his lips from hers, he placed open mouth kisses down to her neck. Lia’s breathing was heavy; her hands took their place in his hair as she felt him tug on the hem of her shirt. His lips left her body only to take the fabric away from the beautiful body that it was covering before reclaiming his position.

Harry’s hands moved to behind her back, hitting the clasp of her bra with his fingertips. Lia’s back arched slightly to allow him to unhook the lingerie with expert like precision. Peeling away the lacy piece of clothing as his lips automatically moved to the swell of her breasts placing soft kisses as he moved lower. His lips opened to let the hardened nipple of her right breast into his mouth as his hand manipulated the other. Lia’s hand gently tugged on his hair getting his attention with his eyes now on hers, moving slightly she took his lips pressing them against hers as she took her place on top of him.

Straddling his waist with his hands on her hips, she made quick work with his shirt, running her hands down the taught chest and stomach stopping when her fingers reached his belt. Lia moved her lips down the very same path that her hands had just traveled; her eyes on his face as she gently sucked on the skin just above his hip bone, her fingers unbuckled his belt as she moved one hand to unbutton his jeans and the other to unzip. Her lips kissing just to the top of where the band of his boxers were, using her teeth to nip at the skin there knowing she had to move quickly before he regained control.

His hands gripped the top of her arms in a light grip as he moved to kiss her lips after she took off his boxers and jeans with ease. Trying to regain the control she had, she reached her hand down to wrap around his long, thick shaft causing him to pause momentarily giving her enough time to take the glistening tip into her mouth. A loud moan came from the man she was moving her mouth on, taking him deep into her mouth and throat.

Harry knew he had to take control knowing he couldn’t allow himself to finish like this, she deserved better. Using the same method she used, he tugged on her hair just enough to cause him to fall out of her mouth with a ‘pop’. Quickly, he rolled them over placing his lips on hers while his hands took off her yoga pants and thong. Lia moaned into his mouth as she felt his finger move over her wet fold just before pushing two of his long fingers into her.

Lia removed her lips from his looking into his eyes.

“Harry please.” She moaned with a slight pant to her voice.

“Please what Angel?” A small growl escaped the beautiful woman’s lips knowing he was enjoying this slight tease.

“I want you.” She looked at him as her hand found its home as it wrapped around him. “All of you.”

Harry didn’t miss the words she had chosen to use, the words he has said to her in what he considered ‘winning her over’. Reaching for his jeans, he pulled out the foil packet that was placed safely in his wallet. His head turned as he felt it ripped out of his hands, his eyes meeting her just as she tore the wrapper open to take out the condom inside before rolling it down onto him. Lia enjoyed the moan that a simple motion caused from Harry.

Pushing him down onto his back, she climbed on top of him using her hand to guide him in. Lia’s head fell back, eyes closing at the feeling of him entering her. She felt her mouth drop open in a silent moan as he rested fully inside of her. Opening her eyes at the feeling of movement from him, she saw that he had sat him; wrapping his arms around her waist allowing his hands to rest on her ass. Raising up so that only the tip was encased inside her warmth, she wrapped her arms around his neck, her hands tangling themselves into the hair on the back of his head as she moved back down.

Harry’s lips pressed to hers, pushing his tongue right in without any soft kisses to happen. Gripping her ass in his hands, he guided her as she moved on top of him, helping her find the most delicious rhythm that allowed her clit to rub against the front of his body. Lia’s moans and cries were muffled by the hold his mouth had on hers.

Lia’s grip tightened in Harry’s hair, her motions were slightly slower and right away he knew way. Pulling away from her mouth he looked at the face that was so close to his, his hands working to regain the rhythm they had. The once muffled moans and cries were now loud in the room.

“You close love?” He watched as her eyes close, her brows moved close together, she nodded answering his question. “Open your eyes for me. I want you to look at me when you go.”

Lia whimpered, resting her forehead to his, her green eyes locked on his. A cry came from her lips as he moved her harder against him.

“Harry.” Her panted voice cried. “Shit. I’m going to come.”

“Do it love, I want you to.” Harry breathed, watching her in amazement as she finally fell. Her fingers tightened in his hair, mouth dropped open, her body stilling slightly as he continued to move which increased the waves he felt around him. Through it all though, their eyes stayed locked.

Harry kissed her lips, keeping the eye contact, as her last wave finished. His fingers moved to wipe away the lone tear that fell from her eyes that she wasn’t aware had even fallen. Wrapping his arms tightly around her, he rotated their bodies allowing his body to lie on top of hers, their bodies never separating.

“I love you.” She whispered her hands cupping his face gently feeling him pull out and then back in.

“And I love you.” He replied softly his arms were by her head as he rested on his elbows. Together they moved in the sweetest, most loving friction. Lia felt the familiar pull she had just experienced begin to form again, looking into her eyes, Harry saw it.

“Come with me love, I’m there.” He moaned as her hips moved up to meet his again. Picking up the pace slightly, pushing into hers slightly harder than before, he was rewarded again with watching her fall. Harry felt her nails scratch down his back to his ass where she gripped it feeling him move into her. The feeling of her tight grip on his ass along with the clenching he felt around him was enough to send him over the edge with a loud moan.

*EM*

Laying his body on hers, allowing the sweat from both of them to combine on their chests as he attempted to catch his breath. Lia ran her fingers around his back lightly as she listened to his heavy breathing even out. She noticed when he picked his head up to look at her, he had a wide, sedated smile on his lips and love dancing in his eyes.

When he finally got up to use the bathroom to clean up, she couldn’t help but smile at the nail tracks down his back and on his bum. Placing only a new pair of panties on she walked to the bathroom, leaning against the door way. She smiled as she watched him splash his face with water. Wrapping her arms around his waist, pressing her bare chest into his bare back, she lightly sprinkled kisses around his back. Harry smiled rubbing his hand on hers, entwining their fingers when her fingers spread. She kissed his arm, her head peeking from behind him smiling.

Harry turned to her, placing a soft kiss to her lips, picking her up again effortlessly bringing her back to the bed. Laying on his side facing her after putting his boxers back on, he stroked her cheek.

“Welcome home.” She whispered eyes dancing in the light from the moon outside her window. He smiled wrapping his arm around her bringing her into his chest. Lia cuddled up to him gratefully, falling asleep while his fingers lightly caressed her back.
