The Au Pair

Harry didn’t speak to Julia for the rest of the night. He slept in the pool house and didn’t even bother being around the next morning when she was getting ready to leave. He just went for his run like it was any other morning. He ran a little further just to be sure he wouldn’t have to see her.

Niko watched as the kids cried for their mother as she was leaving, but she just kissed them on the forehead and told them to be good. She was surprised Julia didn’t catch any of the death glares she was sending her behind her back. As the black town car pulled out of the driveway carrying the wicked witch of the east back to her homeland, Harry came running around the house wearing his jogging gear and iPod buds in his ears – completely ignoring the fact that his wife was leaving. Mary was busy bustling the kids back inside for arts and crafts time, while Niko stood and watched as Harry stopped in the yard to begin his stretches. His body was so fabulously fit and just watching his muscles made Niko want him that instant. She walked over to him with determination.

“Pool house – now,” she said after pulling one of his ear buds out of his ear.

“But, I’m sweaty…” He started to protest as she began walking toward the exterior building.

“Now,” she demanded, turning her head toward him, but continued on. Well, then.

Harry quickly ran to the main house and looked into the playroom window where he saw Mary with the kids, blissfully unaware of what he and Niko were doing – or about to do. He darted across the yard making his way into the pool house right after Niko. There was a trail of her discarded clothes leading all the way to the bathroom and he couldn’t help but smile, knowing she was naked, waiting for him.

He found her in the bathroom, testing the heat of the streaming shower with her hand. His eyes roamed up and down her body, immediately feeling the excitement race through him. Fucking her in the shower was not a bad idea.

“Why are you still clothed? Get your ass in here,” she said, turning toward him and smiled.

He smiled back at her as he kicked off his running shoes and began removing what little clothing he had on until he was standing in front of her naked. He went straight for her, wrapping his arms around her from behind so they rested on her smooth stomach and kissed her shoulder blade.

“Someone’s in control today,” he breathed against her skin.

“It looked like you needed a pick-me-up,” she told him as she turned in his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck.

“Anything with you is a pick-me-up,” he told her honestly, looking down at his already hardening penis.

“I’m happy to help you out,” she said, smiling into a kiss.

Harry really enjoyed all of this with Niko. She always seemed to know exactly what was going to get him going. But then again, having sex withheld for months made everything amazing now that he was finally getting some again. Niko pulled him in the shower with her, the hot water and her naked body feeling amazing against his skin.

“Let’s… let’s get you soaped up,” she giggled as his lips explored the curve of her neck.

“Mm-hmm,” he hummed against her skin.

As she tried to lather him up, he was lost in her. He was trying to appreciate every inch of her skin with his hands and lips. She was so beautiful, so amazing.

“You’re making this rather hard,” she giggled, squirming in his arms.

“You’re making me rather hard,” he grinned at her. Her laugh was intoxicating. Everything about her was intoxicating.

Harry conceded and let her soap up his body, letting himself appreciate her taking care of him. He really did like her taking charge.

“I like being washed. I should hire you to be my personal bather,” he suggested, smirking at her.

“There’s a fine line between personal bather and prostitute,” she quipped, smiling suggestively at him.

“No, see. I’d be paying you for the cleanliness, where as I would get the sex for free,” he chuckled.

“Nothing’s ever free, Mr. Styles,” she said, looking up at him as she lathered up his legs.

She was absolutely right. There was a price to pay for everything. His price would be paid if Julia ever found out about their little affair. But he didn’t want to think about that. Or Julia. She wasn’t there, which meant he and Niko were in the clear as long as the kids and Mary were kept in the dark.

“You really are good at this,” he maintained, smiling at her as she slid herself up his body, having finished washing his lower half.

“I give your kids baths every day. And I actual do get paid for that,” she pointed out, smirking at him.

“I bet you’d make a good mum someday,” he added, smiling contently at her, thinking about how amazing Niko was with Jackson and Avery. She was a natural.

“Yeah… someday,” she said quietly and he realized he made her slightly uncomfortable with his comment.

“Okay, Mr. Styles. You’re all clean,” she said, changing the subject quickly.

“Are you going to shampoo me?” He questioned, smirking at her.

“If you so desire,” she replied, biting back a smile as he gave her a nod of his head. She giggled as she reached behind him for the shampoo, squirting a small bit into the palm of her hand.

“Lean your head back and get your hair wet,” she coached him. He did as he was told and then she started to scrub the shampoo through his hair.

“Is there anything you aren’t good at? I guess my wife did something right for once,” he chuckled as her fingers worked all around his head.

“What? Hiring me?” She laughed.

“Yup,” he told her.

“Who knew things like soaping up her husband would become part of my job description?” Niko giggled.

“Who knew my wife would actually hire someone as ridiculously beautiful as you? She was playing with fire when she made that decision. She withholds sex and then tempts me with a gorgeous twenty-two year old. It’s absurd,” Harry chuckled as he rinsed the shampoo out of his hair.

“Yeah, not her best decision,” Niko laughed, biting at her lip.

“So, you came in here dominating me – wanting a piece, but end up washing all the dirtiness away. I think it’s time to get back to business,” Harry said, pinning her up against the shower wall.

“I think you’re right,” she giggled as she stretched out her arm and turned off the water.

“Let’s dry up and take this to the bed,” she suggested.

“Mm-hmm,” he hummed against her skin as his lips moved across her collarbone.

Niko slid out of his arms, stepping out of the shower. He watched as she grabbed a towel and began drying herself off. He stepped out after her and she immediately turned and started drying him off with her towel.

“Washed and dried. It must be my god damn day,” he chuckled. Niko giggled and placed a kiss on his lips just before dropping the towel to the floor as she dashed out of the bathroom.

“Come and get it, Styles,” she giggled from the bedroom.

“Oh, now I’ve got to catch my prey?” He laughed, immediately following her out.

When he rounded the corner into the bedroom, Niko was laid out across the bed perfectly, just for him. His whole body reacted to her as the excitement surged up through his entire body.

“Get over here,” she demanded and he wasn’t about to ignore her.

His knees dropped onto the mattress almost immediately, as if he was under her spell. He probably would have done anything she asked of him in that moment. He watched as she leaned across the bed, grabbing a condom from the nightstand drawer. And he hummed out a pleasing sigh as she ripped it open and began rolling it down him.

“It’s incredibly hot when you do that,” he groaned when she looked up at him, her hands still on his cock.

She giggled lightly as she lay back on the bed and he positioned himself above her. He didn’t wait long before he pushed himself inside. He didn’t think he could wait another second to consume her and be consumed right back. He started off slow, really wanting to relish in what they were doing. He didn’t want it to end. He wanted to stay that close to her for as long as he could. He could deny it over and over to himself, but he knew what he felt for Niko was much, much more than he ever wanted to allow himself to feel for her. He was falling in love with her and he couldn’t stop. He didn’t want to stop. Julia took too much out of him and he had no will left in him to fight against it.

Niko lay in his arms when they finished and it felt right. It felt like it was how it was supposed to be all along. He wanted someone who wanted him back. He needed someone who wanted him back.

“Thank you for… for yesterday,” he told her quietly.

He felt her turn her head against his chest to look up at him and he found himself hesitating slightly to look back into her eyes.

“For what?” She asked curiously and he couldn’t help but smile back at her bashfully.

“For… I don’t know… just being there, I guess. For… for allowing me to let it all out. I don’t know,” he chuckled awkwardly. Niko sat up quickly, still looking straight into his eyes. She looked so serious.

“Harry… whatever you need… I’m here,” she told him sincerely.

And he was certain in that moment he had truly fallen in love with her.
