Happily Ever After Part III
The weeks flew by much too quickly. Henry began to long for the periods where time seemed to be at a complete standstill, creeping by as slowly as possible. The impending marriage between Scorpius and Alize was announced officially and a ball was held in their honor. Alize looked enchanting in her gown as Scorpius twirled her around and around all night. But there was something missing from her smile. There was no time for Henry and Alize to speak at all during the rehearsal and the dinner that followed. He was forced to sit at the back of the room and watch Alize pretend she was enjoying herself.
On the night before her wedding,
Alize sat on the edge of the bed in her nightgown, staring at him silently. The
room was dark except for the moonlight filtering through the window that made
her pale skin seem even whiter.
He fought to keep the tears from his
eyes. “I…suppose this will be the last night I’m allowed in your bed…”
She looked down at the hands folded
in her lap. “Henry,” she whispered after a moment, not looking up at him.
“Henry I want…I want you to…make love to me.”
“I…I can’t Alize…It’s impossible…”
“I know…I know you can’t touch me
and I can’t touch you, but…” Her hands balled into fists in the skirt of her
nightgown. “But I can touch myself…and you can show me…tell me what to do…” She
licked her lips and looked up at him finally, her eyes shy, her cheeks flushed
pink. “Please…I don’t want to marry him feeling like I never got the chance to
be with you…”
He blushed, gulping. “I…I really
want to…” he whispered.
“I love you, Henry.”
“I love you too.” He sat beside her
on the bed, biting his lip.
She turned to face him, smoothing
her dress down nervously. “Tell me…what to do…”
He nodded, stroking his fingers over
hers. “I want to see you…all of you…”
With a blush still filling her
cheeks she reached up and tugged the ribbon holding her dress closed loose,
allowing the material to fall down her arms and bare her breasts. He felt his
erection stirring; for the first time since his death he could feel… He reached forward, cupping her
breast and wishing, praying he could feel that softness. Her body shivered at
the contact and her nipples pebbled into hard peaks.
“You’re so beautiful, Alize…” He
kissed her neck, slowly removing his own clothes. “So perfect.”
She blushed as her eyes traveled
over his body and then she looked away, pushing her dress the rest of the way
off.
He moaned, tracing his hand over her
body. “I…I don’t know how this will work…”
She maneuvered herself to the middle
of the bed and laid down against her pillows, looking up at him slowly, shyly.
“Tell me how to touch myself…how you would touch me…” she murmured.
He lay beside her, drawing his
tongue over her nipple. He could almost taste her… His hand trailed between her
legs. “Just…d-do what I do…” he whispered.
Shivering again, she followed his
lead. Pale fingers plucked at a pink nipple as her other hand dipped between
her thighs. He hoped he wasn’t imagining that he felt the wetness gathering on
his fingers as he stroked her slowly. The sight of her touching herself…for him…was so amazing, enticing…As he
watched, her breathing became more and more labored and the flush of her cheeks
spread to the rest of her body. A soft moan fell from her parted lips as she
looked up at him, green eyes dark and heavy lidded.
“That’s it…Just like that…” he breathed,
his voice husky as he pushed his finger inside of her.
She yelped a little and shivered
again but soon her finger was joining his.
“Good…?” he whispered, pressing a
kiss to her lips.
“Y-Yes…” Her voice was a hoarse
whisper.
He crooked his finger inside of her,
stroking. “Are you ready for another…?”
“I…I think so…”
He licked his lips as he added
another finger, pressing both in and out slowly.
“Cold,” she whispered as she worked
her own finger in beside his.
“I’m sorry…” He sat up, watching
her.
“It’s okay…Feels good…”
He moved his fingers against her,
meeting her gaze. “I…I love you…”
“I love you too, Henry.” Her hips
shifted against the mattress, pressing herself onto their fingers and she
moaned at the sensations that overwhelmed her. The heat against her fingers and
the chill that filled her from the inside out.
He kissed her hip softly, curling
his other hand around himself.
“Henry,” she whimpered.
“I’d do anything for you, Alize…”
“I wish I could…I could feel you
inside me…”
“So do I…God…So much…”
“I want more.”
He bit his lip, working another
finger into her. She groaned as she followed his example, stretching herself
open with her fingers.
“Is that enough?” he breathed,
stroking himself.
“Yes,” she panted, squeezing her
eyes shut. “But I wish you could touch me everywhere.”
“I want you to feel good…I want this
to be perfect for you…” He slipped his fingers out, moving on top of her.
She looked up at him through her
lashes, her cheeks stained a beautiful rose color. “What’re you doing?”
“I…I’m…I want to at least imagine I
can feel you around me,” he whispered, stroking her cheek.
“Oh…O-Okay…” She pulled her fingers
from her body slowly, resting her hands on her chest as she watched him
expectantly.
He bit his lip as he slowly pressed
inside of her as he held her gaze.
“Oh..G-God…” she whimpered, her head
falling back. She spread her legs wider around him and delved her hand between
them, stroking herself slowly.
“Can you feel anything…?” he
mumbled, watching her as he moved.
“Y-Yes…It feels…It feels so
strange…but so good…”
“You will always be mine,” he
whispered. “I don’t care what anyone else thinks. You’re mine.”
“Yes…” She licked her lips and
moaned. “Yes, I know. Henry…”
He moved against her rhythmically,
moaning. It wasn’t the same as actually feeling her body wrapped around his,
but he could almost feel the heat of
her, the moisture, the tightness of her body. And it felt good, so good…It felt
almost real. He moved faster, moaning her name as their hips moved together.
This was so impossible… And a year ago he would’ve said it was impossible for a
ghost to fall in love. But here he was…taking what little pleasure he could
from a hopeless situation.
Alize’s fingers moved faster on her
clit as his hips pumped into her. She certainly seemed to be enjoying herself,
if her panted moans and needy gasps were any indication.
He kissed her, his tongue dipping
into her open mouth.
“Henry!” she cried, gasping for
breath.
“I…I’m going to…c-come, Alize…” he
whispered. It was the strangest feeling…but so damn good…
“I’ll be with you.” Her thighs
trembled around his hips. “Oh please, Henry…”
He jerked, crying her name as he
felt his orgasm overtake him. In that moment he’d never felt so alive. He was
only distantly aware of her own cry of pleasure, of the way her body trembled
and shook. When he came back to himself, she was panting harder than ever and
her eyes gazed up into his almost drunkenly.
Henry lay his head beside hers,
blinking back tears.
“I love you,” Alize whispered into
his ear.
“I love you too…” He kissed her
cheek, trying not to think of what had to happen tomorrow.
“Will you hold me tonight?”
“I won’t let you go.”
Her lips brushed across his. “You
were my first.”
“I know. I’m sorry it couldn’t be
any better…You deserve so much I can’t give you…”
“It was perfect, Henry. Perfect.”
“You need to sleep now…You have to
be well-rested…for tomorrow…”
“What if I don’t want to sleep?” she
whispered, looking up at him. “What if I want to spend the whole night loving
you?”
“Alize…we can’t,” he whispered
weakly.
“I just don’t want to miss a single
second of what I have left…Don’t make me sleep…not yet.”
“You’ll be in his bed tomorrow
night…” he mumbled.
“Exactly. There will be plenty of
time to sleep then,” she said with a weak smile.
He lay beside her, the tears
spilling down his cheeks. “I don’t want to waste the chance we have either…”
Pulling the blanket up over her
naked body, Alize shifted so she was facing him, just inches away. “Then keep
me awake, Henry. Let’s enjoy the time we have left.”
He smiled through the tears as he
pressed closer to her, his arms around her. “I’ll spend the rest of eternity
loving you, Alize.”
