Harry groaned deeply as he was roughly pressed up against the front door of his house. "You knew what you were doing didn't you Harry" Charlie whispered heatedly into his ear as he ground his hips into Harry's. "You bought that dessert on purpose. You knew full well what eating like that would do you little tease" Charlie bit down firmly on Harry's ear causing the younger man to let out a strangled moan.
"Ah...Charlie!" he moaned. "Need...to get the *pant pant* door open!" he managed to choke out before Charlie captured his lips in a heated kiss.
"You'd better hurry up then" Charlie murmured against his lips. Groaning Harry fished around in his pocket for his house keys before letting out a small sound of triumph and pushing Charlie away from him a step he turned around and quickly fitted the key to the lock, opening the door and stepping through quickly, Charlie hot on his heels. He'd barely turned around to face Charlie again before the other man had closed the door behind him with his foot and swiftly picked Harry up by his hips, causing Harry to gasp before he wrapped his legs around Charlie's waist, letting out a small whine as their arousals brushed against each other through their pants.
"Merlin you're stronger than I thought" Harry whispered heatedly in between harsh kisses pressed to his lips by the man carrying him. Charlie chuckled darkly at this before biting down almost roughly on Harry's bottom lip causing the younger man to groan into his mouth.
"You ain't seen nothing yet Harry" Charlie said with a wicked grin. Hurrying forward Charlie quickly made his way into the lounge room laying Harry down on the sofa, crawling on top of the younger male and holding him down with his own body weight. Grinning at the sight Harry made all face flushed and panting as he was held down against the couch, Charlie quickly captured the man's lips again in another kiss, tongue swiping against the man's bottom lip, begging permission. Harry gasped opening his mouth allowing the other man's tongue to push into his mouth, stroking against his own tongue as the man's hips seemed to copy the action against his own, causing Harry to break the kiss with a loud moan.
"Oh god!" he groaned out
"Charlie's fine" Charlie replied with a with a smirk before leaning down and re-capturing the man's lips. Harry whined softly before arching up suddenly against Charlie as one of the man's hands found its way beneath his shirt and made its way up to his nipples, tweaking one roughly.
"You like that Harry?" Charlie said softly as he broke the kiss. Grinning again as the younger man seemed to be incapable of words, simply nodding almost frantically below him. Taking a moment to let the younger man catch his breath he rested his forehead against Harry's below him, removing his hands from beneath the man's shirt and slowly stroking up and down his sides gently. "What do you want tonight Harry?" he murmured quietly against the other man's lips, pressing a soft kiss to them before leaning back up away from Harry.
Harry appeared to be thinking hard for a few moments before sighing softly. "I... I'm not ready for everything tonight Charlie But... I would like to do some things" he finished with a fierce blush staining his cheeks.
Charlie smirked before raising an eyebrow at the man below him "Some things eh?. Got any idea's as to what those things might be?" He said as he undulated his hips against Harry's smoothly before stopping again.
Harry gasped sharply and arched up against the man above him. "That!" he cried.
"Your wish is my command" and with that Charlie resumed his grinding against the man below him, stroking his sides with his hands, capturing Harry's lips repeatedly with his own in kisses ranging from gentle and sweet to harsh and demandingly possessive. Harry couldn't seem to keep up with all the sensations Charlie was causing. It seemed like the man was everywhere all around him, touching him, stroking him, rubbing up against him, completely dominating him in almost every way. He loved it.
"Charlie! I'm ... I'm gonna!" was all Harry managed to get out before he moaned loudly, seizing up as he arched hard against the man above him, releasing himself into his pants.
"Oh fuck Harry!" Charlie groaned heatedly, claiming the younger man's lips in a possessive kiss as he too met his peak. Groaning he moved slightly to the side of Harry so as not to crush him against the sofa and nuzzled the younger man's neck, placing gentle kisses to the pale throat. "You're amazing" he murmured against Harry's throat.
Harry laughed quietly, before raising a hand to palm Charlie's face, and drawing the man up he placed a soft kiss against Charlie's lips. "You're not so bad yourself chief" he murmured, causing Charlie to let out another soft groan against the man's lips at the nickname. "C'mon" Harry murmured again. "We should head up-stairs. Teddy will be home in the morning and I don't quite fancy the guys seeing us on the couch like this. Plus I need a shower now" he said with a grimace at the mention of his now cooling sticky pants. Charlie chuckled before quickly lifting up off Harry and standing up, reaching down to the younger man and helping him off the couch. Once he was off the couch Harry leaned up slightly and quickly kissed Charlie lips. "Stay the night?" he whispered nervously.
"Darlin I thought you'd never ask" Charlie replied with a smirk before softly kissing the younger man before him, grinning as Harry turned around and with a quick wink back at Charlie, raced away through the house and up the stairs to his bedroom, Charlie following closely behind rapid pursuit.
It was around 10 am the next morning when Harry awoke. Sleepily he snuggled back into the warmth behind him closing his eyes again as strong arms pulled him tighter against the warmth and squeezed gently, soft kisses being pressed to the back of his neck. Sighing softly in contentment Harry smiled to himself before his eyes snapped open. Looking over his shoulder he gasped softly as he realised why his bed was so warm. There behind him holding him was Charlie Swan a smile on his face as he leaned over and pressed a kiss to Harry's lips. "Morning Harry" he said huskily.
Harry blushed furiously as he felt Charlie shift behind him and something hot, hard and heavy pressed up against his backside. "M...morning Charlie" he said quietly.
"You ok there?" Charlie asked softly, face crinkling slightly in concern.
"Yeah I'm fine. It's just... this is the first time I've woken up with someone other than Teddy in my bed for quite some time. It's not exactly something I'm used to." Harry replied before turning around in Charlie arms to face him, and pressing a quick kiss to the man's cheek. "But I'm really looking forward to getting used to it" he said with a small smile.
Charlie's eyebrows rose slightly before a relieved grin broke out on his face and he leaned in and nuzzled into Harry's neck, causing the younger man in his arms to shudder. "First time I've woken up in another man's bed myself. Gotta admit though it's not so bad" he said with a wink as he drew Harry back towards him , pressing the man tightly against his front.
Harry blushed furiously as he felt Charlie's hardness press up against his own. But Charlie made no other moves, seemingly content to just hold Harry for a while, nuzzling his neck and placing soft kisses to his skin.
They just lay there for a while in silence, content in each others arms and just enjoying the feeling of being near each other. Sadly it seemed like it wasn't to last long as they heard the sound of a truck pulling up and door quickly opening before slamming shut. Loud boisterous laughs and whoops making themselves known in the quiet morning air.
"Guess Teddy's back" Harry groaned softly. "I'll go get dressed and let them in" he murmured before quickly kissing Charlie and extracting himself from the man's arms and his bed. Sighing he turned around and grabbed some clothes before making his way out of the bedroom and down to the front door whilst pulling on his pants and shirt.
Hearing loud knocking on the door he rolled his eyes before opening it quickly, glaring at Jacob who stood at the door with a sheepish smile on his face. "Morning Harry, just dropping off Teddy" he said nervously once he made note of Harry's glare.
'Harry clearly wasn't a morning person' he thought to himself before his eyes caught sight of a small darkening bruise on the man's neck barely covered up by the man's shirt. 'Oh...' he grinned to himself as he turned around to help Billy from the truck. 'This should be fun' he thought as once seated in his wheelchair Billy began making his way over to Harry.
"Good morning Harry!'' Billy exclaimed loudly with a friendly smile on his face "Have a good night?" he asked, smirking when the younger man's glare was replaced with a blush and Harry looked away slightly in embarrassment.
"Yes thank you" Harry mumbled quietly "Where's teddy?"
"I'm here!'' came a shout from the back of the truck. Teddy was quickly helped down by Paul before he ran over to his godfather gibbering excitedly about his night camping, practically floating with happiness as he hugged Harry tightly.
"Teddy!" Harry laughed quickly "I can't understand a word of what you're saying when you speak like that. I haven't even had my coffee yet!"
"OH BREAKFAST!" Teddy yelled before letting go of his godfather and racing inside. Momentarily re-appearing again "Come on in guys you can have breakfast with us!" and disappeared, heading into the kitchen.
"Oh we wouldn't want to intrude Harry..." Billy said quietly but Harry simply smiled and waved him off.
"Nonsense. I was about to make breakfast anyway I'll just set a few extra plates come in come in" he said as he turned around and made his own way back into the house, Billy Jacob and Paul trailing behind him.
As Billy made his way inside, helped by his son Jacob he looked around, smirking wickedly at the sight of some familiar boots placed by the door 'You old wolf' he laughed to himself. 'Oh this is going to be fun!'.
Making their way into the kitchen they stopped when they entered, noticing Teddy there sniffing curiously. Teddy looked back at his godfather who promptly blushed again and smirked. Groaning softly to himself Harry quickly brushed past his godson. making his way over to the fridge and pulling out a tray of eggs and a fresh packet of bacon. "Teddy could you grab the ..."
"Already on it!" Teddy said quickly and rushed to the pantry cupboard pulling out some EZ-make pancake mix.
"Thanks" Harry said smiling softly before placing the eggs and bacon on the bench and reaching over he grabbed 3 frying pans that were hanging up above the stove.
"You guys hungry?" He asked turning to the 3 men sitting up at the kitchen counter who nodded quietly. Billy spoke up from his wheelchair placed beside the counter.
"You really do have a nice place Harry he said with a small smile. Harry grinned back at him, thanking him for his polite words before turning back to his task of preparing breakfast.
A short while later found the men moved from the kitchen to the lounge room, eating breakfast up at the small dining table off to the side chatting contentedly between themselves. Suddenly Jacob, Paul and Teddy raised their heads from their plates, sniffing curiously before turning to the entrance of the lounge room. They all wore identical smirks as Charlie made his way through the lounge room over to Harry placing a soft kiss against the man's cheek. "Morning guys" he said simply before turning and making his way into the kitchen to put on a pot of coffee, grabbing the plate Harry had set aside for him and joining the men back in the living room.
"Good morning Charlie Billy said quietly to Charlie with a sly smirk. "Date go well I take it?" Charlie glared quietly at Billy before sighing and placing his knife and fork down on his plate.
"Yes it did. Had a great night at that new restaurant and spent the night back here. And that's all you're getting from me". He finished quickly glancing to Harry who was happily munching away on his breakfast across from them sitting next to his godson who was grinning at Charlie in a strangely knowing manner.
"Oh hush you I'm happy for you. I really am Charlie Harry seems like a really good guy and It's nice to see someone make you happy again" he nodded towards Harry who looked up at the two men, raising his eyebrow and glancing between the both of them before shrugging and resuming his meal.
"He really does Billy. You guy's haven't spoken to him about it yet have you...?" Charlie murmured quietly back to Billy
"No not yet. But we will. Pretty much today. Something happened last night and It's a good idea to tell Harry now before more happens" Billy said quietly before turning back to his own plate. Hurrying to finish his breakfast.
Charlie frowned slightly at Billy, his cryptic words running through his head. 'Something happened last night?' he thought to himself. Looking over towards teddy he couldn't help noticing that the boy felt a little ...different. Like there was suddenly more to him than there was before. Shrugging he finished his own breakfast before leaning back in his seat to wait for the others.
Once everyone had finished breakfast and the plates were cleared away they made their way into the lounge room, taking up seats around the room. Billy cleared his throat quietly to get Harry's attention. "Harry?" he asked quietly. "I think we all need to talk".
He was clearly nervous about the conversation he wanted to have, thought Harry to himself quietly. Nodding Harry stood up and made his way over to Teddy and was about to send him up to his room for a while but Billy opened his mouth again "Actually it kind of involves teddy too..." Turning back to the man with a frown Harry nodded and made his way over to the sofa across from Billy and sat down next to Charlie.
"Ok... what did he do?" Harry asked with a small frown on his face.
"Oh no nothing like that. He's not in trouble or anything Harry. At least we don't think so. It's nothing so much as what he did as just something that happened." Billy reassured quickly. "Before we start I need to ask you Harry to keep whatever we say here a secret. It's very important."
Raising his eyebrow Harry nodded slowly, confusion evident at Billy's strange request.
"Ok... so this is all going to sound kind of crazy to you or maybe it wont actually. Right. First off. We know Teddy is part werewolf" Billy said quietly
Harry immediately leapt up from his seat as if to grab teddy and run but Paul quickly stood in front of the boy , raising his hands in a placating gesture "Wait please!" he asked quickly... a trace of panic making itself known in his voice.
Harry glared darkly at Paul before turning back to Billy "You have 10 seconds before i remove him and we disappear".
"That wont be necessary Harry. We aren't going to hurt Teddy at all. Nothing of the sort I swear it! What do you know about the quileute tribe?" He asked quickly trying to calm Harry down .
"They're your Native American Indian tribe and you guys live on the La Push reservation. That's about it..." Harry said quietly looking back to where teddy was sitting behind Paul. A calm expression on his face.
"Ok well... The quileute have a few legends in their history and, very long story short because I don't think you want to hear it right now but in our tribe we have shape shifters or as we call them spirit warriors who can assume the form of giant wolves to protect the tribe".
Harry froze as he looked at Billy in disbelief. "What?"
"Shape shifters. They can become wolves and they protect the tribe from outside threats. Mainly vampires who come on our lands" Billy said quietly, looking earnestly at Harry begging him to believe him.
"It's true Harry!" Teddy said , speaking up for the first time. "Back when we first met them last week at Charlie's they knew immediately I was different. When you went inside the house they asked me...they could smell it Harry..."
"So you guys are shape shifters and can turn into wolves..." Harry said slowly
Billy nodded "Not all of us, there is a handful though. Jacob and Paul are two of them" he said gesturing to the two men who nodded quickly.
Harry turned to Charlie quickly "You don't seem too surprised about all of this..." he asked
"I've known for a few years. Jacob came to me a couple of years back and told me about it all. Turned into a wolf right in front of me. It's all true I swear. I would have told you but it wasn't my place or my secret to tell. They needed to tell you, not me" Charlie said softly finishing with a nervous glance up at Harry who frowned before turning back to Billy.
"Why are you telling me all of this..." Harry inquired
"Well... there are some things you need to know about shape shifters. Or at least wolf shifters like those in my tribe" Billy replied quietly. Glancing to Jacob and Paul who were sitting across the room next to Teddy he sighed and nodded at Jacob.
Jacob stood up and made his way over to Harry before he sat down next to him.
"Ok so... like dad was saying there are certain things about wolf shifters to know. The main reason why we're telling you this is now is because of something called Imprinting. Putting it very simply. Its like finding your soul-mate. The one person in the world who is your perfect other half" Jacob finished nervously.
"Ok so it's finding your mate ... I still don't know why you're telling me this...Oh god one of you didn't imprint on me did you?" Harry said quickly, glancing between Jacob and Paul rapidly, tensing up as he dreaded the answer.
"Erm...no not you Harry. Please let us explain before you really freak out ok..." Jacob begged Harry.
Nodding slowly Harry gestured for Jacob to continue , promising he would wait for an explanation.
Smiling in relief Jacob turned back to Paul and Teddy. "Paul imprinted on Teddy last week".
Ok so maybe Harry lied a little bit when he said he would wait for an explanation. He leapt up quickly from his seat and with a wave of his hand Paul was sent flying through the air away from Teddy, smacking heavily against a wall on the opposite side of the room "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Harry shouted. All the males in the room leapt to their feet at what they just witnessed(except for Billy of course because of the whole being in a wheel-chair).
"Please listen It's not like that!" Paul begged
"Harry listen to them please! It's not what you think!" Teddy cried as he rushed over to Paul who was lying against the wall with a slightly dazed expression on his face
Harry was breathing harshly, barely controlling his anger as he turned back to the men staring at him in shock. "5 seconds..." he said softly, eyes seeming to glow slightly.
Jacob gulped before continuing "Imprinting takes the form of a few different bonds. The Imprint will be whatever the person needs. Friend, Brother, Protector or Lover. In the case where a juvenile like Teddy is imprinted on it's not a sexual bond at all. Paul would do anything for Teddy. He couldn't hurt Teddy ever. He would never even want to. Right now because of Teddy's age all he can be is like a best friend or an older brother or protector. I swear Harry.
"You said soul-mate. Forgive me but where I'm from that's a little different to what you're telling me..." Harry ground out from between clenched teeth, eyes trailing back to where Teddy was trying to help Paul to his feet.
"It's complicated but I'm telling the truth Harry. Paul is literally unable to feel anything for Teddy like what you think. In a few years as Teddy grows up if Teddy felt that way Paul's feelings would change but only if Teddy felt that way. And that wouldn't happen for a a few years at least! I swear!" Jacob rushed to quickly explain before Harry did...whatever it was he'd done to Paul again. Charlie was standing next to Billy staring at his...boyfriend? In confusion, his eyes open wide stunned.
Harry slowly seemed to relax as he considered Jacob's words. Glancing back to Paul who was now standing on his two feet with Teddy helping him stand. Sighing deeply he ran his hand through his hair. "Ok" he started "So what you're telling me is that Paul some how found his ...Imprint? In Teddy and now they're soul mates but Paul is like a big brother best friend type person at the moment ... have I got that right?" Harry turned back to Jacob raising his eyebrow in question
Jacob nodded frantically. "Yes exactly. He's like a big brother or best friend. He'd protect Teddy with his life. Nothing sussed at all going on I promise".
Groaning loudly Harry made his way back to the sofa and sat down heavily upon it. Exhaling loudly as he did so. "And you guys felt that now was a good time to tell me? Why Now?"
Shifting nervously in his seat Billy spoke up "You heard me say the shape shifters help protect the tribe from vampires right?" at Harry's nod Billy continued "Well there used to be a coven of vampires who lived here in forks. The Cullens They left a few years ago but one of them turned up last week and seems to have an interest in Teddy." Harry gasped before looking sharply to his godson who was rolling his eyes at Billy.
"Not like that Harry. Last night whilst camping I had to go to the bathroom and came across one of them, his name was Emmett Cullen. He was really nice he didn't hurt me at all he was just curious. He knew I wasn't fully human and apparently him and his family are considered 'vegetarian' vampires because they don't eat people. Just animals. We spoke for a while before Paul and others came and scared him off" Teddy finished with a small glare at the man beside him. Paul simply shrugged down at him before turning back to Harry
"He smelled safe Harry. But also kind of familiar. It wasn't him but remember the first night here? When I smelled something on Charlie that was kind of weird?" Teddy paused at Charlie's indignant cry before continuing "And I smelled it again the next day at the markets remember?"
Harry nodded quietly , glancing back towards Charlie before looking at his godson before him.
"It wasn't Emmett but the guys told me what I was smelling could have been another vampire. Emmett thinks so too".
Frowning again Harry took a deep breath before turning to Billy. "Ok. Vampires in Forks. You guys know a coven but they're gone and one has come back and seems like like my godson, whom Paul imprinted on, and there might be more vampires than just him in forks. Am I missing anything else?".
"Nope..that about sums it up pretty well I think" Billy said with a small friendly smile.
Clearing his throat from beside Billy, Charlie looked over at Harry. "That's pretty much it except for the small question of what the hell was it that you just did to Paul..."
Harry sighed before looking at Charlie sadly. "I told you before there are a lot of things about my past I'm not comfortable with sharing just yet. This is one of those things. However..." Harry glanced over at Teddy before looking back to Charlie. " All I really can say is that what I did was magic."
Charlie slowly nodded "Ok so magic.. like hocus-pocus, abra-cadabra?"
Shaking his head softly Harry tried to explain. "Sort of but not. I can't say much. I'm sorry but I really can't because it could get me into a huge amount of trouble but magic is real and I can do it. I don't do it often any more though. It's part of the reason me and Teddy moved here. To get away from magic".
"Ok" Charlie said simply.
"Ok?" Harry asked in confusion at how easily Charlie seemed to accept his answer.
"Ok Harry. You can do magic. My best friend's son is a member of a pack of wolf shape shifters. Vampires are real and used to live in forks. Some are in forks somewhere right now. My daughter is married to a Cullen, who are a family of vampires remember..." Charlie finished with a wry smile. Noticing Harry shaking slightly Charlie stood up and made his way over to sit down next to Harry, drawing the younger man into his arms and placing a soft kiss against Harry's temple. "Trust me Harry with everything I know and have seen over the past few years. You knowing magic and throwing Paul into a wall with it actually isn't the weirdest sight. Was actually kind of cool" he finished with a slight shrug, tightening his arms slightly in a hug.
Harry sighed in relief as he practically melted against the other man. "Sorry Paul" he said turning his head slightly to the man across the room who was currently talking quietly with Teddy. Paul nodded before turning his attention back to the small boy beside him
"Right so all is forgiven then. Harry know's about the imprint and vampires and shape shifters and we know he can do some magic and throw people against walls. Anything else we need to mention before we get out of here?" Billy said turning to his son who was now standing behind him. "No dad I think that pretty much covers it" Jacob replied quietly, turning to Paul he leaned over and poked the man in the shoulder, getting his attention. "We're gonna head out Paul. Are you going to stay for a bit or come with us?" he asked
Paul glanced to Harry who quietly nodded. "I'll stay for a bit. I think Harry and I need to talk some more before I head back to the rez". Grinning Jacob turned back to his father and helped wheel him out of the house as Billy called back to Harry. "Was great having breakfast with you Harry! We should do this again some time!"
Harry simply rolled his eyes before laughing softly as he leaned back into the man holding him. "This was not how I was planning my morning I'll have you know" he murmured to Charlie behind him. "Not quite my plan either" Charlie agreed quietly.
Turning his head to Paul, Harry sighed softly. "Charlie. Can you take Paul outside please I need to talk to Teddy alone" Nodding softly Charlie let go of Harry and quickly stood up. "C'mon Paul we should go over to mine for a while. Harry will be over later yeah?" he said turning back to Harry in question. Harry smiled and nodded and with that Paul and Charlie made their way out of the house over to Charlie's, shutting the front door behind them.
Harry stared at his godson for a few minutes. Trying to organise his thoughts. "You knew about all of this and you didn't tell me?" he asked quietly, unable to help but feel a little hurt that his godson had been keeping secrets from him.
"I wanted to tell you Harry but I wasn't sure how. Please don't worry...Paul is really nice he's being a really good friend. So have the other shifters. I met some more of them last night and they were great. Even the vampire. He's been here before by the way. Morning of Charlie's barbecue remember the man I told you about? That was him checking on Charlie. His sister Alice was worried about him and sent Emmett to see if he was ok . Emmett isn't going to hurt us or Charlie I'm sure of it. I don't know about the other vampire in forks though..." Teddy finished nervously.
Groaning softly to himself, Harry stood up and stretched , letting out a loud yawn. "Right. Well now I know what to ward against I'm going to change the wards to keep out vampires. I'm going to extend the wards over to Charlie's house too". Nodding to himself Harry made his way over to his godson and bent down to give the boy a hug when he suddenly froze before he could touch Teddy. Now that he was alert and close to his godson he could tell immediately something was different. Frowning he looked down at Teddy who was staring up to him, unsure as to why his godfather was acting strangely all of a sudden.
"Teddy... did something else happen last night? Something you didn't tell the others perhaps...?" Harry asked quickly, reaching out to grab teddy by the arms gentle but firm in his hold of the younger boy.
"I don't really remember. I woke up in the middle of the night for some reason and felt really weird but that's all I promise...why?" Teddy asked quietly.
"Teddy...the binding on your magic isn't there any more..."
Teddy's eyes widened in shock.
