–– &. dangerous woman

henry had never been more nervous in his entire life. as his green eyes scanned avery’s expression, trying to gauge her reaction and imagine what her response would be, he realized just how deep into this he was. if the girl said no, he was going to be crushed — the realization that someone else had that much power over him was scary, but for some reason he trusted avery with his life. his grin was spread from ear to ear when avery said he already was her home, and he wrapped his own arms around her protectively, burying his nose into her pretty blonde hair as he took a deep, relieved breath. “god, you don’t know how nervous i’ve been about this.” henry admitted, a low chuckling leaving his throat. “i… i really wanted you to say yes. i think we’re gonna have a good life here, kitten.” the male pressed his lips to the top of her head, smiling softly. “come on, tell me what are your plans with this place.” henry broke their hug apart and pulled avery to the floor with him, laying down first and spreading his arm so she could rest her head on it. “it’s all yours to decorate and shit, i don’t care. i want you to be happy here and i’m sure i will too.”

henry couldn’t stop himself from grinning widely when avery said it was ‘perfect’ — he knew it was far from it, but if avery liked it that much, he was surely signing the papers, whether she agreed to actually move in with him or not. “yeah, it could use a good painting and i have some money saved up to buy the furniture, but… i don’t know. it could be a good place to live.” at her question, the male wrapped his arms around her waist, smiling down at the blonde. “i can… but under one condition,” he started. “do you see yourself living here?” he held his breath, nervous about her response. before she could say anything though, henry went on. “i know it’s crazy, and i know we haven’t been together that long, but… look, i… i want to be with you here. i want to wake up and see your face everyday… i want to get to know your habits, to kiss you goodnight, to cook for you and even do the annoying shit like go grocery shopping and pay the bills.” henry bit the inside of his cheek, his green eyes nervously moving from avery’s blue ones to her lips, trying to gauge her reaction. “i want this to be your home. i want to be your home. what do you think?”

standing outside of the building, henry ran a hand through his curly hair to try and calm himself down. for some reason, he was nervous — very nervous. he wanted avery to like this place, to visualize herself living there. today was the day that he was going to ask avery to move in with him, and that was still a surprise; the two of them had been dating for not longer than a month now, and well, henry had been in new york for only bit longer than that. but he needed to get himself a place to live and, hell, he knew that avery needed that too. although the girl had been spending a lot of nights with him at the motel, henry knew this was different, and maybe they were moving too fast, maybe he was keeping his hopes too high… but now it was too late to go back. he was insanely in love with that girl. “oh!” henry was snapped back to reality when avery ran into his arms, and he kissed her back with a wide grin on his face. “i was just thinking about you…” he mumbled softly, wrapping an arm over her shoulders as he pushed the front door open for them to get in the building. “umm, yeah… it’s not that great, i know, but the apartment is quite nice and i can actually pay for it.” he shrugged, leading the way up the stairs to the third floor where the apartment was. the landlord had given him the keys so he could bring avery to check it out before he made a decision, so he fished them out of his pocket quickly to open the door and let avery in first. “wait, let me… let me open the courtains.” he said as soon they were inside, rushing to do as he said and let some light into the empty room. “this is the living room, there are two bedrooms and one bathroom. the kitchen is over there and… that’s pretty much it. what do you think?”

with the loud sounds of their mixed moans, the bed banging against the wall and avery’s pants as she came undone, henry followed her right after, gripping tightly onto her waist as he removed himself from her, getting rid of the condom quickly before he fell back on the mattress beside her, still shaking from head to toe. “bloody hell.” it was all he managed to say before he started laughing, turning on his side to face avery. “you… you’re good at distracting me.” henry nodded his head, leaning to steal a quick kiss from the blonde before he fell back on the mattress again. “you do know that you’re still going to study, don’t you?” henry sat up quickly, getting his used t-shirt from the floor and handing it to avery so she would put it on. “come on. now.”

henry was unable to hold back the smirk that was spread across his face when avery crawled over to him, kissing him and telling him to ‘remind her’ of how good she could be fucked. he was surprised for a short moment when the blonde pulled him on top of her again, but instead of giving what she was asking him to, henry pulled back and pulled her along with him, flipping her small frame over with ease. “get on your hands and knees for me,” he said in a firm tone that left no room for argument. as soon she did that, henry started spreading kisses down the bare skin of her back, moving his fingers in between her legs, teasing her folds and rubbing her clit. his movements were quick, making sure to bring avery really close to falling apart before he completely ceased any friction. he bit his lip to keep from making any sound as he guided his member into her entrance and pushed inside deep, roughly. “don’t… tease me… anymore.” henry mumbled in between pants, his breathing heavy as he fucked avery senseless, rough and fast, making the bed bang against the wall and their skins smack with each movement.

henry let out a loud groan of frustration when avery removed herself from his lap, making him desperate to have her back around him. “don’t do that…” he said in a soft plead, green eyes growing wide when avery started jerking him off — as sexy as the girl looked doing that, he didn’t want to finish like that, not when he could be fucking her senseless. the male sat up a bit, using his arms to prop himself up, and pressed his lips to hers in a sequence of short, sweet kisses. “c’mon, babe… you know i can fuck you really good if you let me… you know i can make you cum harder than anyone could ever do.” he grabbed onto her waist, pulling her into the direction of his throbbing erection again. “please, ave.”

henry didn’t mind one bit when he felt avery’s teeth on his skin, her lips sucking dark purple hickeys whenever they went. he sucked in a deep breath when his girlfriend picked up the pace of her movements, digging his short nails into the soft skin of her hips, helping her to move. “yes, fuck… i do, babe…” but then avery slowed down painfully, lifting her hips in a teasing manner that made him want to punch something. “d-don’t fucking tease me, avery.” he growled deep in his throat, squeezing her hips harshly; surely she would have some bruises there later, but he could apologize some other time. henry held her in place moving his hands to her behind and slammed his hips up into her again once, rough and hard, before he decided to humor the blonde. “please, babe… don’t do this.”

henry gave avery a lopsided grin at her command, enjoying this side of her that he had yet to see. the man sat up and lifted his hips to help avery to get rid of his jeans; he placed his hands on her hips, guiding her hips as she ground down against his erection, but in all reality, he was really turned on by how she seemed to be taking charge of the situation this time. he watched with parted lips and furrowed eyebrows as the blonde got up from his lap to remove her last piece of clothing, smirking softly as she grabbed the condom herself to roll it on him. “oh, fuck.” was all that the older man could mutter as avery sank down on his lap, biting down on his lip hard. henry laid back and placed a hand on her hip, helping to guide her movements, slow but surely, while the other traveled all over her chest down to her stomach. “you look so fucking hot riding my cock, babe. f-fuck.”

henry shook his head with a roll of eyes at avery’s comment on him “caving”; as much as he knew that was true, he didn’t like to be reminded of how the girl had him so easily at such a short period of time. he lifted his arms to help her get rid of the shirt after the leather jacket, tangling his hand into her blonde hair as she kissed all over his bare neck and down to his collarbones. “fuck, you’re not getting away with this, i swear…” he groaned out, trying to keep his eyes open. henry flipped them over so avery was on top of him, one leg at each side of his body, and quickly took off her own jacket then her top followed the same path. he kissed down her neck to her cleavage, kissing every inch of skin that was exposed to him there.

henry had never been known for having much selfcontrol, but it took all of whatever was left of it in his body to try and remove avery’s hand from his thigh. the effect that she had on him was quick and could already be seen in the bulge he was supporting in his jeans, but he tried his best to play it off like it was nothing. “come on, you have to study, ave… come on…” he removed her from his lap gently and got up to get her textbooks that sat on the coffee table, but stopped before he could get there, turning on his feet and throwing himself at avery on the bed again. “yeah, alright, later.” it was all he managed to mutter before he was kissing her hard, pressing himself against her thigh to show her just the power she had on him.

henry let out a heavy sigh of relief when avery said that his singing was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. he knew that she could only be biased about that, but he didn’t care. he smiled broadly to the blonde, opening his arms to accept her on his lap, her light weight feeling very comfortable and familiar on top of him. “you’re my only fan, love.” he whispered into her ear in a playful tone, kissing her lobe there. as much as he tried, he couldn’t wipe off the silly, wide grin on his face as he looked up at the blonde on his lap. “you got me real good, did you know that?” he spoke softly, grabbing her chin with his fingers gently and pulling her down into another kiss. “i really can’t get enough of you, kitten. this is either going to be the best thing of our lives or the worst.” and there it was, he had said it. henry was scared shitless of getting so involved with avery but he had already learned to accept that he couldn’t stop that from happening. the outcome was the scary part now. before he could dwell on that thought, he pressed his lips to avery’s in a soft, gentle kiss… it was different than any other kiss he’d ever had. “alright, now stop distracting me,” he joked, smacking her behind playfully to urge her to stand up. “we got a lot of studying to do.”

avery’s words made him feel better for some reason — if she thought he could make it, something told him that he could… but then again, he was probably just biased. he saw that sparkle in her blue eyes when she heard that he was a musician and he already knew what she was going to say before she did, but henry shook his head. “oh, no, just… no. some other time…” he brushed it off, biting the inside of his cheek to keep from smiling shyly. he had already picked on how stubborn avery was, so it was no surprise when she continue to pester him about it, and henry sighed in defeat. “alright, i’ll sing one song and then we can start studying. deal?” he got up from the bed and went to get the guitar, joining avery again seconds later. henry cleared his throat, giving avery a quick look — just by looking at her he already knew what song he wanted to sing — before he started playing the first chords to tenerife sea by ed sheeran. “you look so wonderful in your dress, i love your hair like that…” henry sang softly, his voice echoing in the small motel bedroom. the lyrics that he sang weren’t written by him, but they might as well have been — they had ‘avery’ written all over, and henry was a bit scared to realize that he meant every thing he was singing. how could it be when they had only met two weeks before? how could he feel such a deep connection to some girl that he barely even knew? “should this be the last thing i see, i want you to know it’s enough for me… cause all that you are is all that i’ll ever need… so in love…” he gave avery a small smile, moving his eyes from hers to the guitar. he wasn’t quite ready to say that he was “in love” with the girl, but god knew that if henry would ever feel anything close to love, it would be with avery. the fact that he already knew that told him just how dangerous their combination was. “you look so beautiful in this light, your silhouette over me, the way it brings out the blue in your eyes… is the tenerife sea…” the male finished it with a grin in avery’s direction. he was suddenly very selfconscious about his voice or the way he played, something that never happened, so he placed the guitar aside and gestured to the blonde. “so, um, do you fancy this?”

the man bit down on the inside of his cheek at avery’s answer, and something about the way she sounded told henry everything he needed to know. his heart ached and he was again surprised at just how deeply he felt for this girl. henry sighed at her question about work, shrugging it off. “not that good. unless i want to be a cashier or a waiter, this is gonna be very difficult to pull off. but this is not what i came to do in new york, you know?” the man fished his keys out of the pocket to unlock the door and let avery step in first before he did the same, locking the door behind him again. at avery’s question, henry smiled weakly, gesturing to the guitar case in the corner of the room — they had been so lost in their physical activities and talking about silly things the last time she was here that she probably didn’t even notice it. “i’m a musician. i came to new york because it is my best shot at getting attention to my music, you know?” he was fairly proud of that aspect of his life: his love for music. now, though, he was a bit selfconscious because of how cliche he sounded. sure, some british kid thinks he is good enough to make it in america. no money in his pockets but a guitar and his voice — how fucking pathetic. henry placed avery’s books on the bedside table and made her sit down on the bed, following her shortly after. “do you wanna get something to eat before you study?“

henry couldn’t help but smile widely when avery agreed, kissing her face one last time before he was being dragged into the building. they passed her group of friends and leighton shot him a quizzical look to which he just shrugged; he already knew that avery was too proud to want people to know that she was actually trying. henry fought the urge to chuckle when she said she didn’t remember the combination and just gave her a stern look — not too long after she had managed to get the books and he gave her an ironic thumbs up. “that’s my girl,” he teased. an older woman passed them and made some bitchy comment about avery that made henry’s blood boil; he wondered for a moment in just how much trouble he could get avery if he called the woman out on her bullshit. “yeah babe, let’s go.” he replied, leaning to kiss her forehead before wrapping his arm protectively around avery’s shoulder to walk out. before they moved though, henry turned over his shoulder to the woman and gave her a very sarcastic grin, mouthing a ‘fuck you’. they were out of the building after that and henry had already taken avery’s bag and her books to carry himself as they walked back to the motel. “so, um… where do you live?” he wasn’t sure of how to ask that, but he needed to know — avery didn’t have parents and she couldn’t have rented a place for being a minor, so he was concerned about her situation.

henry crossed his arms over his chest, his lips pressed in a thin line as avery spoke. not even her smile mentioning the nickname he had called her was enough to make him soften. henry was dead set on this, on making sure she was graduating, and he was not backing down. as avery walked away, he only stood there, not moving an inch. he lifted an eyebrow when she turned to him, clearly challenging her. “well, if you’re not going with me to get your books so we can study for your damn finals, i am not going any fucking where with you.” he said matter-of-factly with a shrug. “avery, this is not a joke to me. if you won’t do it for yourself, do it for me.” he finally stepped further into her direction, taking her face in between his hands gently and pressing their lips in a soft kiss. “please, kitten?”

her words hurt henry in such a way that he couldn’t quite understand yet. the thought of avery, so damn young, just… out. alone. she had no fucking one, and henry had never been more heartbroken in his life. because, yes, he didn’ have the best parental figures, his father could be dead by now for all that he knew, but his mother had always been there. avery was about to miss on something very important because she felt like she wouldn’t have anyone to care if she failed or succeeded and he wasn’t having that.“well, guess fucking what, kitten?” his tone was harsh when he spoke, grabbing onto avery’s chin to force her to look at him. henry caught himself wondering what else was hiding behind those blue eyes, but he already knew how strong avery was.  “you’re not on your own anymore, got it?” and he had never meant anything more in his life. henry was just a kid himself, but he would make sure to always take care of avery, even if it cost him his life. “do you have your books and shit? we’re going home now and we’re gonna study for your finals and, god help me avery, i swear on my fucking life that you are graduating.”
