Harry turned into the lane leading to Elaine’s house, pushing snow ahead of him, grinning like a loon as he spoke into the phone which was on hands free of course. “I’m approaching the house now, lovely one.” he honked the horn, which was an ahooga sound that made him laugh.
“That’s me now.” He turned the wheel and let the lights play over the front of the house and then away, as he plowed snow out of the way, then backed around to back up against the front close to the door.
He hopped out, grabbed hiskit, ran to the door, and knocked, phone in hand. “It’s me at the door!”
***
Elaine had watched from the window, waiting, then opened the door as he knocked, the phone clicking off as she pulled it open. “Get inside before you let the snow in!” She was still in disbelief he'd stolen a plow to get here.
“I think you parked on the carcass of the thing I killed” she glanced out before shaking her head. “I've got hot water on for cocoa, I figured you'd be cold. This rivals any good Chicago cold!” She shivered.
Then threw her arms around him. “I'm so glad you made it.”
****
***
He dashed in and laughed then grinned at her as he shivered. “It’s very cold, yes.” he chuckled and hugged her close, grinning. “Me too. The plow made good time, and I got here as soon as I could.” He smiled to her as he looked around, pulling back a little, but not out of the hug.
“How are you? No more murderous gifts?”
***
Elaine didn't let him go, either, just loosened her hold. “Well, I haven't opened any boxes, gifts or otherwise to find out. I'm a little scared too, to be honest.”
She said with a slight scowl. “I don't think anything else is moving, it's been quiet since I beat the one.” Her fingers held the edge of his shirt tightly, her panic still just under the surface, slowly ebbing away though now that she wasn't Alone.
***
“Maybe we’ll wait a little. See if this is over in a day or so, yeah?” He grinned at her and hugged her tight.
“We’ll be fine. Some hot chocolate, then some snuggles, okay?” He would make sure of it. One way or another.
***
“I'm sure we can find ways to keep ourselves occupied while we wait.” She returned the hug tightly before she leaned up to kiss him, warm and sweet.
“My knight in a snow plough.” She stole another kiss after she spoke, smiling at him, glad he'd come. Glad he'd braved the storm for her.
***
***
Harry chuckled as he ruffled her hair, and groaned into that kiss, kissing her back, just as gently. “I will be your hero, baby.” He sing-sung the line and grinned at her, kissing her back on the next kiss just as gently.
“I told you. I will always come for you. No matter what.”
He tapped her chin lightly, finger stroking it for a second and he shivered, but smiled.
“I’m looking forward to being here.”
***
She gave him a look when he ruffled her hair, wrinkling her nose at him as he sing-songed the line at her. “Oh lord, don’t even start that.” she teased at him, nudging him lightly, he was such a weirdo.
But he was her weirdo.
“No matter what?” she asked carefully, smiling softly as she looked at him, she was still confused as to why he would. She understood, to some degree, but she still felt like a broken doll, a part of her couldn’t wrap her brain around it.
She smiled gently at his finger against her chin.
“Oh yeah huh?”
***
Harry smirked and nudged her back, winking. “I told you I could scare off any things haunting the place.”
He nodded to her, eyes warm, remembering all those feelings he had had, and still had, only stronger with the passage of time. “No matter what.” His voice was soft and he stroked her face softly.
“Yeah. Being around you is the place I like to be the most.” He gently enfolded her in a warm hug again and kissed her cheek gently, then her lips, before pulling back a little. “There’s no where I would rather be.”
***
“You weren't kidding.” She teased playfully before sobering up.
She turned her head into his hand and sighed softly. She'd never really expected this, but she was glad. Her eyes drifted halfway shut as he stroked her face.
She snuggled into his hug, tilted her cheek into his kiss then returned his actual kiss with her own. She sighed softly, happily. “You're so sweet, Harry” she said softly, then leaned against him, resting her head on his shoulder. “There’s no place I'd rather you be”
***.”
***
Harry smiled softly, glad to hold her and just stroked her hair. “I’m glad. I’d totally back off if you wanted me too. But I am glad.” he held her close and swayed a little, just smiling softly. He pressed a kiss to her hair and found himself feeling at peace.
“It’s good to have you around again, Elaine. You give the best hugs.”
***
“Shut up, Harry.” She smiled softly as she leaned against him, hugging him and content. Her panic subsiding as she stood there in his arms, eyes closed as she just let the tension bleed out of her.
“Damn right I do.” She grinned, laughing a bit. “You hungry? Cold?” She had a fire going, and she was ready to whip up warm food if he needed it.
***
He chuckled and snuggled her, and smiled softly. “Not cold now.’ he grinned. “Maybe snuggle now, eat later?” He smiled at her, lopsidedly, rolling his neck to get kinks out of it. Even with the powerful plow, it had been a mess getting to her place.
“Maybe some tea?”
***
“Tea first then snuggle. What kind do you want?” She asked as she untangled from him to go put water on for tea. “Get comfy in front of the fire, I'll bring you tea in a minute”
***
"That sounds perfect. And what kinds do you have?”
He smiled and let a hand trail down her side as she untangled, then let go and nodded, turning toward the fire. “Thank you, Elaine.”
He was glad to be there.
***
“Green, masala chai, chamomile, Earl Grey…” she rattled off as she put water on to boil.
“And what do you want on it?” She looked back to ask him, smiling a bit, content. She liked having him in the house.
“Hey the least I can do is make tea.”
***
“Earl grey, hot, please.” he couldn’t resist. And besides, he loved it. Harry watched her, smiling.
“Want on it?” He blinked. “You put things on your tea? Evillll.” He made wiggly fingers at her, grinning.
“Well, thank you anyway.”
Settling in front of the fire, he smiled.
***
She sent him a glower, “I meant in it you brat, jeez.” She shook a fist at him as she dug the tea out and a mug. Plus one for her.
Plus her jar of honey because she was putting honey in her tea thank you very much. She looked back and stuck her tongue out at him.
As soon as the water was ready she brought him his mug with the tea steeping then brought hers over, stirring honey in.
***
Harry smirked at her. “Honey or lime, please.” He smiled and chuckled. It was fun teasing her like old days.
He stuck his out right back at her.
“Thank you, Elaine.” He smiled softly at her.
***
“Really lime? You're so weird. I have honey and lemon.” She rolled her eyes at him, it was fun, it felt normal.
She plunked the jar of honey down with a spoon before sitting down next to him. “You're welcome, Harry. Thank you for coming to my rescue.”
**
“Honey works.” he grinned at her and took some honey… okay a lot of honey, then stirred vigorously.
“Anytime, Elaine. Next time, you can come save me from whatever damseling I am doing.” he nodded.
***
Elaine cradled the mug in her hands then tucked herself up against Harry. “I'm sure you'll need me to save the day sometime. You get yourself eyeball deep into trouble.” She teased as she took a sip from her mug.
***
“Oh, far deeper than that, sometimes.” He grinned his devil may care grin at her and nodded. “I tend to do a lot of crazy things to save the day.” As she now knew.
He snuggled her close and smiled, planting a kiss on her hair.
“This is good.”
***
“You're bit short, Harry, good lord. I know I'm tall but I'm not wading in deep enough to drown.” She teased, she would totally. She'd do anything to help him.
She stole his warmth as she snuggled close. “No this is great.” She turned her head to kiss his shoulder.
***
Harry laughed and poked her lightly. Then just snuggled her more and nipped her ear. He chuckled, knowing her way.
He mmmed, yes. Yes it was. He kissed her hair softly, and her ear, and her cheek. And sipped more tea, because yes.
“I have never been happier.”
***
Elaine smiled as he nipped her ear, mmming faintly at that. Then smiled more as he kissed her hair, was then cheek. “You're so sweet, you know that? You're so careful with me.”
Which was nice because she never knew what would set something off. The care he took was refreshing.
“Never?”
***
“I care about you. I wont ever push you. I never would have, even before what you’ve been through.” He poked her lightly on the shoulder.
He smiled and kissed her lips lightly.
“Never. I love being with you.”
***
“I'm not breakable you know, you don't have to be that gentle.” She nudged him back, smiling then turned her head up into his kiss.
“Good, I love being with you, too.” She polished off her tea and pushed the mug out of the way, curling up against him.
***
***
“I know. Sometimes I like being soft, and sometimes harder.” he poked her, and then kissed her just a little harder, letting a little need and want show in his passion.
“Yeah? That’s a good thing. Works out best that way.” He snuggled in and nipped at her ear lightly.
***
Elaine smiled at him as he poked her, “I know there's lingering damage but I don't want that to be something that is a barrier. I need to get past it.” She sighed softly into the kiss, heart beating a little harder.
She let out a quiet little moan as he nipped her ear, eyes closing as she nestled in. “I'm so glad I met you.”
******
Harry smiled softly, and kissed her , snuggled her, and even peaked her rear once.
“I'm glad we met too.” Holding her close, he was delighted. She made him smile.
***
She settled in, comfortable, body threatening to.doze off because she was so comfy. He was here, she was safe, it didn't matter that it was snowing like crazy. He wouldn't let anything happen to her.
Warm, comfy, she let her eyes close, tucked up against him. She looked peaceful as she dozed lightly, tension leaving her face,.
***
Harry smiled as he snuggled her and as she slept, he just held her, gently rocking her, stroking her hair and her back, sometimes murmuring her name. He did care for this woman. Was it love? He had no fucking clue, but he did care.
***
She woke up with a start, then went stiff until her brain registered where she was and who was holding her. Panic flared then dropped off. “Sorry, sorry.” She breathed out slowly.
***
He let his hands pull back, and breathed a little, eyes a little wide, but smiled softly. “You didn’t do anything wrong, Elaine. Nightmare?”
He watched her, worried, but just wanting to let her have the space to do what she needed to do.
***
She plucked at the strands of the Dream, gripping hard, but she couldn't replicate it. Which would have been fun. Instead she sighed and ran a hand through her hair.
“No, Dream. Though that is kind of a nightmare I guess”
***
He cocked his head to the side and nodded. “As in the kind the network talks about? Oh man. What was it?” He was curious and he pressed a light kiss to her ear before sitting back again.
***
She leaned back up against him, sighing as he kissed her ear, wriggling close. “Yeah one of those.” She tucked herself back into his arms.
“I was dreaming about perfecting a spell between us, a kind of,I guess telepathic one. Used it to chat at each other while we endured lessons.”
***
Harry kissed her hair, and listened. Holding her close felt right, and good. “I think I started to dream of lessons like that, but not that one yet.” Just of Justin throwing a baseball at him to encourage him to shield. He winced at that memory.
“I wouldn’t mind one of those spells in this life, too.”
***
Her own training at Justin’s hands hadn’t been kind, not quite baseball level but certainly not without her fair share of pain. She could feel it in her bones, here, how badly that man had treated the pair of them. Bent them to his will. She shivered at the thought.
“Oh, I’m sure if this is real and it’s gonna keep happening, looking over the network, we might actually get it. I think that one is a real brilliant spell actually.” she mused as she tucked up against him. “It certainly kept us from getting caught, a lot.” she laughed softly.
***
“Oh yeah? Then I am ready when it is.” he smirked at her. “I wouldn’t mind touching your mind so you can hear me and know I am here, and how much I care, all the time.”
He chuckled. “Seems you’re ahead of me a little. I don’t recall a lot about those, yet, but that definitely sounds like us.” Harry grinned as he kissed her hair again.
“A little magic in our lives would be nice.”
***
“You're thinking dirty thoughts already, aren't you,?” She teased him as she shook her head, laughing a little. “I just know you are.”
“Maybe or I'll just getting them in a different order, who knows how this actually works. I didn't really see an expert on the matter.” She smiled gently at him.
“We don't need that for magic, Harry.” She leaned up to kiss him, taking a breath before pulling one of his hands up to rest on her chest, pushing herself because she wanted to. Wanted to feel comfortable knowing it was his hand not a bad memory.
******
“Me? Now I am.” He laughed. I wasn’t before, but I am now, all the dirty thoughts.” He chuckled and hugged her.
“Could be. Me either. I am just glad we can be here together.” He kissed her back, groaning softly. He felt her place his hand on her chest and gently caressed with slow fingers, giving the lightest squeeze, wanting to move slowly.
“You feel amazing, Elaine.”
***
“Of course you are. Where did your mind go there?” she teased as she shivered against him, and leaned up to kiss him.
She let him squeeze, taking the moment to feel out her emotions. Was there anything in his mannerism that made her twitchy? No, safe. Check. She sighed softly. “I love the fact you are here with me, Harry. I love you’re willing to trust me.” she relaxed.
“I… I want to not be scared of this, Harry, so help me?” she asked, eyes wide, serious. She trusted him, and part of her already knew she loved him. He’d help.
***
“To thinking of touching your mind while I am masturbating, sharing exactly how it feels as i imagine it being your hand doing it…” He grinned softly and kissed her back.
“Always. All you ever have to do is call.” His hand caressed her breast, stroking lightly, teasing at where the nipples were, to see if they would pebble up.
“I’ll help if I can.” He smiled softly and kissed her gently. “What do you want to try? I will do anything you ask, I promise.” He kissed her nose and her cheeks and her forehead softly,all the while his hand was gently touching her chest.
***
Elaine groaned softly. “Oh well, now isn’t that a mental image and a half” she purred a little at the thought. “I'm flattered. You been thinking like that already?” She teased.
She sighed softly, letting it out in a shakey breath. She was nervous because she didn't want to panic on him. But his hand felt nice, nipples hard under his touch.
“Nothing too much but, a nice make out, letting you touch at least my upper half, see if I can manage without a shirt? It might be a hard step, not the hardest though.”
**.
***
“I have. I didn’t want to say anything, but yes.” He blushed and smiled at her. Harry had cared for her for a long time. Since she had come back, he had not stopped thinking like that, despite himself.
Hearing her soft sounds, and watching her, he nodded “Of course. We can do that.” Without pulling his hand away, he added his second hand stroking her arm lightly there. And Harry kissed her softly, gently, then a touch harder, easing into it.
***
She grinned at his blush - “you’re cute when you blush.” she leaned up and kissed his cheek softly. “I don’t mind, honest, I don’t.” she smiled warmly as she pushed the hair out of her eyes.
“I know I sound like a teenager.” she groaned softly, mostly in annoyance at the moment. “But I don’t want to freak out on you or have a panic attack. But I do want to do more than just let you kiss me.” she sighed softly. “If… If I freak out, I’m sorry.” she was cut short by his kiss, though, returning it softly, warmly.
***
“Thank you.” He kissed her again, then listened as she spoke. “I understand.” After the kiss he spoke softly. “No need to be sorry, dear woman. We will get there, together, in time.”
He snuggled close to her and let his hands gently explore her chest, then slowly move to grab the bottom of her shirt, and he asked her with an eyebrow if she was ready for him to lift it, kissing her afterward, to help her be in that moment instead.
***
Elaine breathed, focused on breathing, then nodded, relaxing as she watched him slip his fingers under her shirt. She checked herself, mentally, then satisfied nothing felt wrong nodded again.
She leaned in to kiss him after she'd discarded the shirt to the side. She had a flare of panic, that she relaxed. He had seen her scars already.
***
***
He kissed her again, and lifted the shirt, slowly, and he smiled as she tossed it, then kissed him again. He mmmmed softly into the kiss, his hands sliding up her belly to her chest again, slowly caressing her bra-encased breasts with gently strokes and gropes.
“You look beautiful, Elaine.”
***
Elaine was distracted by the kiss, content to lose herself in them before his hands caressed over her skin. Her breath hitched for a moment then eased.
“Really? I'm still working on accepting what I look like.”
***
***
Harry smiled as he stroked her gently but firmly, loving how warm she was in his hands, even through her bra.
“To me, you’ve always been beautiful and you still are.” he nodded to her, then smiled softly. “Your scars do not diminish who you are to me.“
***
She nodded slightly as she ran her hand up the side of his face, curling her fingers into his hair lightly. She leaned up to kiss him again, this time with a little more to it.
“They bother me. I know I'll get used to them but right now they're a painful reminder. I'm lucky. I know this. I'm not dead. It could have been worse.”
***
He gently kissed her back, then a touch harder as she kissed harder. He mmmed against her lips, softly. He hummed sometimes when he was happy. Had ever since he was a kis.
“Then I will just remind you that they are not you even if they are on you.” he ducked his head softly to kiss her neck, then back to her lips, hands still gently moving on her breasts. His thumbs softly stroked her skin outside the bra, but he did not move his hands outside it otherwise.
Slow to go.
***
She leaned into his kisses and hands, sighing softly. She trusted him explicitly, which is why she wasn't freaking out on him. “I like how your hands feel.” She said softly, blushing a little as she looked at him.
***
He kissed her a touch harder, then and snuggled her, stroking her chest lightly, then caressing a little more. He was still being gentle. “Yes? I am glad. I love to touch you, no matter where it is.” He smiled warmly. His own cheeks were red.
***
Elaine kissed him back, harder, then smiled. “You're good to me, Harry.” She smiled as she soaked up the good feelings. He was gentle and mindful, and she very much liked it, if her slight squirming wasn't an indicator.
***
Harry smiled warmly back. “As you are to me.” he loved being around her, and he cared so much sometimes it scared him, but he didn’t mind. Exploring with her was important to him, more so than with anyone else, ever.
He kissed her again, letting his hands stroke and tease lightly still, just teasing them both some.
“You feel perfect.”
***
She blushed softly - “You think I’m finally filling back out?” she’d been skin and bones when she’d gotten back Stateside. She was worried she wasn’t looking healthy enough, desirable enough.
She only worried about that with him, though.
***
Harry flushed too and nodded and have a light teasing squeeze. “My hands and my eyes say so. You are always beautiful to me, but you are gaining weight back again.”
He was glad to see it.
Hee kissed her again, passionate and warm.
***
She returned his kiss, putting a little more into it, wishing she could stop sounding like an idiot out loud.
Elaine sighed softly, then gently pushed his hands away, reaching behind her to undo the clasp of her bra. Heart pounding in her chest as she dropped it on top of her shirt.
***
Harry’s eyes went a little wider and he groaned softly. He gently kissed her again, soft, easy, even as his hands rose, slowly, to stroke and caress her breasts, teasing her skin with at first light touches. He observed her, eyes on hers, only looking down once, in awe, before meeting her eyes again.
He finally slowly let his hands settle on her breasts, cupping and lifting them with care, and stroking the nipples with calloused by warm thumbs. “You are so beautiful, Elaine, beyond measure.” His voice was soft, adoring, and full of care.
***
Her breath caught in her throat even as her skin goosebumped in the cooler air. Her nipples hardening under his touches, his caresses making her feel warm, a warmth that spread.
“don't stop, please.” She moaned softly, enjoying what he was doing. What sensations he elicited from her. Her fingers explored his chest and shoulders.
***
Harry smiled softly as he kissed her again, gentle kisses even as his hands got a little firmer, teasing her nipples and caressing her breasts, cupping them gently. He ducked his head to kiss each nipple softly, and suck on it a little before raising his head to kiss her again. His fingers massaged her breasts and the muscles beneath, even as they caressed her.
Her touches to him made him groan a little. “Do you want my shirt off?”
***
Elaine moaned as his lips met her nipples then he sucked gently, she felt a tightening in her belly and whimpered. “More please?” She needed him, begged him.
A breath: “yes, take it off please?”
***
Harry nodded and stripped off his shirt, putting it aside, before ducking his head to nip and lick, and suck softly on one, and then the other of her nipples, teasing them with lips and tongue. His hands stroked her breasts and her belly lightly, caressing her with gentle touches.
“God, I do love touching you, Elaine.”
***
She ran her nails over his skin, trying not to breathe too hard. This wasn't scary, this felt lovely. Not like anything before. She was hesitant, cautious in her exploration. She wanted to savor this.
“I'm noticing.” She grinned a little.
***
He gently stroked her breasts, teasing lightly, warmly. His hands walked across her flesh like explorers on home ground, touching and welcoming her back to them. His kisses were warm, and gentle, as well, and he was hard. Oh yes he was, his cock straining his pants as he touched her.
“Good. It’s all for you.”
***
Elaine explored him with her hands, her touches light, careful but teasing with her nails. She liked how he felt under her hands soft warm strong. One hand slid down his hip, then over the bulge in his pants, palming him
“Because of me too?” She teased knowing the answer.
***
Harry moaned softly, groaning at the touches and her smiles. His hands moving over her trembled as she touched him, but kept going. When she palmed him, he shuddered. “All because of you.”
He smiled at her. “You made it happen.” he nodded.
***
Elaine smiled faintly and dragged him into a kiss, she couldn't help but laugh a little. “I feel like I'm fifteen all over again.” She laughed softly again before sliding her hands over his hips, nails dragging.
******
Harry laughed. And kissed her lips, then her cheek. “Maybe even fourteen.” he smirked against her cheek as his hands gently stroked and teased her nipples, then gently squeezed her breasts, one hand sliding down to gently caress the skin above her own waistband.
“You are so beautiful.”
***
Elaine poked him in the ribs for that one. Teasing her! What a pain. But she smiled, skin warm from his hands, from his touches and caresses. She sighed softly and pushed herself to her feet, lazily kicking off her shoes and smiling down at him.
“How beautiful?” she asked, but before she gave him a chance to answer she wiggled free of her jeans, he was Harry. He wasn’t going to hurt her.And she was impulsive enough to throw herself, metaphorically speaking, at him. Part of her was telling herself that that was enough, go curl up, just rest. But the warm, tingling part of her was telling her he was hers for a damn reason.
***
Harry’s eyes got a little wide as she stripped away her jeans, and left herself only wearing panties. “So very beautiful, Elaine. More so than I have ever known.” he kissed her then, again, and his hands found her hips, and stroked both cloth-covered and naked skin.
The touches were gently, and light, and he smiled softly as he nodded to himself. “Would you like me to do the same?” He smiled softly. He would do anything for her. She was his and he was hers, and he had known that for a long time.
***
She might have relished the look on his face for a moment. She shivered softly under his fingers, but she was resolved, he wasn't going to break her. Elaine curled her fingers around his face and pulled him into a kiss, she hadn't realized it, not really. She'd been so wrapped up in her own little world.
But she knew now, and she wanted nothing more than that fact. “Please before I feel any sillier” she leaned up to kiss him again, pressing her skin to his, breathing him in.
****
He kissed her again, and then with one motion, he smirked and struipped his opants and underpants off. He groaned softly as his rather hard erection sprang out into view, and the colder air hit it, sending a shudder through him. He reached for her, to run his hands across her gently, not wanting to have her think he was not glad to touch her too.
“You can touch anything you want.”
