🎉🎉Harry's POV👑

I was relieved when finally I arrived at the cottage. All the way to the warehouse, I kept on thinking about Emerald. I shouldn't have left her. I became so worried of her, being all alone in the cottage.

I went out of the Hummer and went directly to the door. I stopped when I noticed some muddy spots on the ground. Where did these came from?

I opened the door and was surprised at what greeted me. A very thin and dirty Springer Spaniel was sitting on the couch.

How the hell did this stray dog get in here?

The dog watched me, his ears flat, head slightly cocked and a vibrating growl deep in his chest.

"Emerald?" I almost shouted, afraid of her safety.

Where is she?

🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

Fear and anxiety running deep inside me. Lord, Jesus. I hope Emerald's okay.

I moved forward and the dog barked, standing up and getting ready to attack me. Fucking dog.

"Easy boy... easy..." I said, watching the dog growled, showing it's canine teeth. I looked for something to use as a weapon and saw the logs at the fireplace. My heart was pumping hard as I moved slowly to the fireplace until I got hold of a log. "One wrong move and your dead." I said in gritted teeth to the dog.

"Hi! You're here." I heard Emerald said behind me.

"Step back. Go back upstairs." I ordered, putting a protective arm in front of her.

"Why?"

"This dog is dangerous. It will attack us."

"What are you talking about? Archie is harmless."

"Archie?"

"Yeah, I named him, Archie." She went towards the couch where the dog was sitting.

"No...no.. don't go near that stray dog. It has rabies."

"Nope. It doesn't have any rabies. He's not sick. He's just hungry and lonely. He must be lost." She sat on the couch, petting the dog's head. The dog snorted happily and sprawled on her lap.

"Stay away from that dog. Look at that, it's so muddy. Get it out of the house now, Emerald."

"No. Can't you see, he's hungry and cold."

"I don't agree with you. That's a stray dog."

"Yeah, a reason for us to give him a home. Don't be heartless Harry. This dog needs our help."

Fucking shit. What the hell is she doing!

🌹Emerald's POV. ✔

Archie wagged his tail and watched me with hopeful eyes as I prepared his food - canned sausages and meat loaf, and when I gave it to him, he attacked it with too much enjoyment. Aww... Poor dog. I pitied him. How long since he had a good meal. His owner must have lost him in the woods.

After Archie finished eating, I asked Harry's help to give Archie a bath.

"Come, Archie, be a good boy. You need to take a bath." I tried to carry Archie inside the tub but he resisted, afraid of the water.

"This dog really stinks." Harry's nose wrinkled. "We can't have him inside the house if he won't take a bath. Better let him go."

"Don't be heartless, Harry." I looked at him with gentle eyes, asking for a little sympathy for Archie. "Can you please help me get him inside the tub."

"How can I? That dog growls angrily at me every time I come near him."

"Because you're scaring him. He feels that you don't like him."

Harry looked heavenward then shook his head. "He's a grumpy dog."

"Of course not... He's so sweet. Just show him love and care. Make him feel wanted."

"Nah- I don't think so."

I managed to put Archie inside the tub, bathing him while Harry was holding the handheld shower, spraying at Archie.

"Hey! You're intentionally spraying on me." I said to Harry, when Archie had his final rinse.

"Of course, not." He said playing innocent.

I looked at the front of my sundress, sticking on my chest.

"You're making me so wet!"

"Really? Well, you need a cold shower for that." Harry chuckled and sprayed water on me.

"Hey, you pervert! I didn't mean it that way." I stood up and grabbed the hand shower from him, but he held it so high that I could not reach, then aiming the shower on my head. I gasped at the cold water running down my body. "You're so bad!"

Archie got scared and jumped out of the tub, leaving the bathroom. "Archie! Come back here. Look what you've done. You're scaring him."

I'm not scaring him. He's scared of the water."

I hated how he just stood there looking so gorgeously handsome and boldly intimidating. He loosened his hold of the shower and I immediately grabbed it.

"Whoa..." He raised his palms up towards me. "No... no."

"Gotcha!" I aimed the water at his face. I turned the knob to increase the water pressure and wet his body. "Good for you. HA! " I felt victorious afterwards.

"Now, I'm so wet!" He exclaimed, taking his shirt off.

"Oh! So you're the one who needs cooling off." I sprayed on his crotch and saw his eyes gasped in surprise.

I did not know what drove me to do that. I was suddenly embarrassed. Then I panicked as he came towards me, his eyes raked boldly over me.

I trembled as his hand gripped my wrist, taking the shower from my hands. Water spraying on us as he placed it back on the wall. I was surprised when he poured shampoo on his hand, then rubbed it on my hair.

"What are you doing?"

"You need a bath, you smell stinky like that dog." He chuckled as he massaged my hair, bubbles were flying all over the bathroom.

We both laughed, then suddenly the laughter died. It was awkward as he continued rubbing my hair down to my neck, my shoulders and arms. I noticed him watching me intently.

I put some bubbles on his chest and rubbed it slowly up to his shoulders. I could feel his breathing became ragged and his touch became aggressive. His eyes held mine, then dropped on my lips.

"Emerald." He almost whispered.

I held my breath as he put my arms around his neck, drawing me closer to him. My knees were weakened by the quivering of my limbs and my heart thudded noisily within me.

His lips came down and I was ready to meet it with mine. I closed my eyes... waiting.

"This is not a good idea."

I opened my eyes, feeling disappointed. "Why not?"

"Your family. They trust me."

"They will understand." I touched his neck, coaxing him to continue what he started.

He nodded, brushing the tip of his upper lip against mine. "Just one kiss."

I smiled at him and whispered. "Just one kiss."

He angled his head and finally, our lips met. It was like magic. His lips, firm and persuasive, invited more and his tongue sent shivers of desires racing through me. I responded to him eagerly, till his soft gentle kisses became demanding and aggressive.

"We should stop." He said between kisses.

"Um... yeah." I answered but still clinging on him, kissing him with fervor.

He pushed me gently until I was leaning against the tiled wall. He removed my arms from the circle of his neck and put it above my head, still continued kissing me hungrily.

"I can't stop." He said as his lips transferred on my neck. "Oh God, I have to do this."

Instantly I felt the cold water spraying on us with strong pressure. Rinsing us and cooling our heated body. When I opened my eyes, Harry was leaving the bathroom.

During lunch, Harry and I couldn't look at each other. My heart throbbed and my pulses were racing fast. The memory of our kiss lingered in my mind.

We were very silent eating. I felt bad that the garlic bread was hard as stone, the sausages almost turned to charcoal and the vegetables were saggy and bitter. But Harry did not complain. He continued eating the food that I cooked like it was delicious.

"You don't have to force yourself from eating the food. I know it's terrible." I said shyly at him.

"I'm not forcing myself." He answered, looking at me directly for the first time since we sat on the table.

"I'll do my best to make a good meal tonight." I assured him.

He nodded and smiled, making my body tingled all over. Darn.

Later, I gave some food to Archie, but sadly, he wouldn't eat any of it.

👑Harry's POV 🔑

I was on my laptop encoding the details of my next government project, but the cursor in the monitor stayed on the same position for nearly an hour already. My attention diverted to Emerald, sitting on the couch with her sexy legs raised on top of the center table. Very distracting. She was so engrossed reading a recipe book. While the stray dog getting so cozy beside her. Sprawled on the couch with its face rested on her thigh. Damn dog. Every time I moved, its eyes grew bigger and focused on me. I don't like this dog. Well, I'm not really fond of dogs, cats or any other pets.

I wonder if she's affected by the kiss, as I am right now? It's like an ache that sparked by that indelible kiss.

It was mind blowing. Dammit. I could still taste her on my lips - even though I ate, drink plenty of water and brushed my teeth.

I was dying to kiss her and it just intensified that moment in the bathroom. She looked so beautiful and radiant like a sun. When we kissed, I felt her fire burning, turned me into flame. It took me a lot of willpower to stop, before I'd lost control and made love with here there and then.

Oh God, I'm so busted. I don't know how Zion would react once he'd find out that I kissed his sister. I'm supposed to protect, not to seduce her.

Emerald petted the dog and it wagged its tail happily. I realized how caring, sympathetic and loving she was. I knew not only with that dog but to others as well. It was her nature, her personality.

Honestly, I never expected that from her, since I saw her growing up being so pampered. She was also too loud that everyone would know if she was around. I was wrong thinking that she would grow up the same.

I heaved a long sigh. But I wished she was still the same spoiled brat girl I knew... so I wouldn't feel this crazy feelings for her right now.
