Warning: There will be some m/m content later on.

March 2014

"Do you have anything coming up soon?" Ashley asked.

Tanalei shrugged her shoulders, though her friend couldn't see her. "I have a readin' in New York on Friday. It's Archer's weekend with the boys." She pulled out ingredients for dinner.

"I wish it worked out with Chaske."

"Ash, we've been over this. Ke and I are just friends. We work better that way."

"But the sex was good, right?"

Tanalei laughed. "Yes, the sex was good. Listen, I've gotta go get the boys in a few minutes. I'll call you later."

"Okay. Love you."

"Love you, too." Hanging up, she glanced around her kitchen. With a sigh, she grabbed her purse to join the line of cars at the school.

While waiting for her sons to get out of school, she reflected on her life. After high school, she left home and attended the Atlantic Theater Company Acting School. There she met her best friend, Peter Facinelli. Throughout the years, she played guest roles in movies and TV alike. She got to meet a lot of different people and became friends with most of them. She was even in the Twilight movies, thanks to Peter. Now she was involved with CullenWolf Pictures. She wasn't upset that she wasn't a household name. 

She leaned her head back with a groan. Torn Apart, her first lead roll, came out at this year's Sundance Film Festival. It didn't get that many reviews and went straight to DVD. She had fun writing and acting in it. Not only that, she got up close and personal with her co-star, Chaske Spencer. 

"Hey, Mommy!" her youngest son, Eli, yelled when he opened the door.

"Hey, baby. Where's your brother?" The 7-year-old kissed her cheek.

"Hey, Mom." Her ten-year-old, Alan, slid into the car. 

"Y'all ready to see your dad this weekend?" 

"Yep! He said he was takin' us to a Hawks game," Eli exclaimed.

"Hmm. I hope y'all have fun. I have to go to New York for an audition."

"Really?" Alan perked up. "What's the movie about?"

"I don't know yet. It's bein' kept secret."

"Are we gonna to be able to go with you?" Eli asked. "Will we be able to be in it?"

Tanalei smiled. The boys had walk-on parts in Torn Apart. It seems as if they caught the acting bug too. They've been bugging her to get them parts on The Walking Dead since it filmed in Atlanta, their backyard.

"If I get the job, we will see."

"Aww man."

*&*&*

Tanalei took a deep breath before knocking on the door. Soon a young woman with a clipboard opened it. 

"Yes?"

"Tanalei Granger. I have an audition today."

"Oh, Ms. Granger. Come right in." She was led into the room to a table of three men. "Tanalei Granger."

"Ms. Granger, please have a seat," the middle gentleman said. "I am William Elliott, the producer. We just have a few questions before the audition."

"Of course." She discreetly wiped her damp palms on her skirt as she sat down.

"What is your natural hair color?"

"Dark brown."

"Is it current colored?"

"Yes it is. I haven't varied from it since I was a teenager."

"Is it naturally curly?"

"Very."

"And your natural eye color?"

"Hazel, but my eyes change color dependin' on my mood and clothin'."

"Would you be adverse to wearing contacts?"

"No."

"I see you can speak with a Southern accent?"

She laughed. "I was born and raised in Georgia. No matter how much my speech teacher tried, I couldn't exactly get rid of it."

"Good. Can you be on location for two months?"

"When exactly?"

"If you get the part, we will film in South Carolina during April to the beginning of June."

Tanalei bit her lip. "I prefer not to, but I can."

"What would you require from us?"

"An apartment would be fine. Three bedroom. Also I will have to go back to Atlanta mid-May."

"May I ask why?"

"The apartment is for when my children come with my brother or parents. They may not be able to stay with me for the whole time, but my family will bring them to visit. My youngest son's birthday is the weekend after Mother's Day. I want to celebrate it with him."

"Alright. You'll be reading with three gentlemen today to figure out who you will be best suited with." She nodded. "Ms. Granger, I saw Torn Apart at Sundance. I really enjoyed it. The passion that you portrayed is what led to your audition today."

She smiled. "Thank you. My friends pushed for me to step into the spotlight." She looked down, remembering Peter encouraging her to do that.

"Hello. What do we have here?" A hand landed on the back of her chair.

She glanced up at the new voice. The men at the table in front of her were looking behind her. Turning slightly, she looked over her shoulder and found a pair of bright green eyes staring back at her. Ah fuck, she thought.

"Ms. Granger, this is Harry Styles. You'll be reading opposite him today."

Standing, she held out her hand. "Tanalei Granger."

"Harry Styles," he returned as he took her hand. He bent and placed a small kiss on the back of her hand. 

Double fuck.

Harry stepped aside to reveal two more boys behind him.

"Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson. They are the other two you will be reading with. We haven't exactly decided who to place in the lead rolls." She shook hands with the other two. "You're going to take pictures and read with Harry first. After your hair is straightened, it's Liam and Louis' turn."

She nodded. Smiling softly at the three boys, she went where the photographer was. As soon as she was out of here, she was taking a cold shower.

"What do you think, Harry?" Liam asked. They were watching as Tanalei and Louis ran through their lines.

"I don't like her hair straight."

"For the movie, Hazza."

"Yeah. I like her the best so far."

"She might be too young."

"The character was a teenage mum."

"She looks like she could have had him at 10, not 16."

"She's older than she looks." They glanced up at William Elliott. "She's 37."

"Wow," Liam said. "She looks good. I really thought she was no older than 30."

"She wrote the movie Torn Apart and starred in it. Certain parts were autobiographical."

As she gathered her things, Harry approached her. "Tanalei?" She looked up. "We were wondering if you would have dinner with us tonight."

She smiled. "I can't. I'm catchin' the red-eye back to Atlanta. I have to get my kids."

He hid his shock. "You have kids? Boys or girls?"

"Two boys." She turned to William. "Thanks for the opportunity. It was nice to meet y'all," she said to Harry, Liam and Louis.

They watched her go. "She's getting away, Hazza," Louis said softly. His hands clenched on Harry's waist.

"Has to get back to her kids, Lou. We'll push for her. If she doesn't get it, we'll find her."

Liam glanced over at his friends. "Yeah?"

"Possible. Have to get to know her first."

*&*&*

April 2014

"Ms. Granger," Tanalei looked up from her script to find Andrea Davis, the assistant director, walking towards her. She stood and waited for her to join her.

"Ms. Davis."

"Andrea."

"Tanalei." They stared at each other for a moment before laughing and hugging.

"How have you been?"

"Good. You've spoken to Nikki lately?"

"Nope. She's got a few movies coming out, so of course she busy." Hearing laughter, they turned to see five guys goofing around. "I am so glad they gave us two months to film this. With their antics, it's gonna take that long. Oh," Andrea turned back to her. "They added a new scene."

"What? When?" Tanalei picked up her script. "I just read this damn thing again last night. It's been the same for the past two weeks."

"The best part is that it's karaoke."

"No." She felt her face fall in horror. "No no no. They can't."

"They did. They are giving you the choice of song."

She fell back into her chair. "Andrea, I can't sing."

"I call bullshit," the director sang. "I've heard you. It's not on their scale, but you sound good."

"No nudity and no singin'. It's in my contract."

"Not this time, babe." She began to walk away before turning back. "Oh. I meant to ask. You're not in any of these scenes. You start next week. Why are you here?"

"They want me to get to know them. I don't see why. We're supposed to be strangers." She glanced over to find Harry watching them. Swallowing, she turned back to Andrea, who just shrugged.

"Pull your iPod out. Find a song," she said before walking away.

"You're gonna freak her out, mate," Zayn said softly to Harry.

"Hmm? No, I'm not." His attention swung to his friends briefly before going back to Tanalei. He watched as she climbed the stairs to the B&B.

"What are you think of, Hazza?" Niall asked. He too was watching Tanalei.

"Dirty Dancing. The scene when Baby climbs the stairs, dancing."

"Oh yeah."

Quick as lightning, Harry swatted behind him, nailing Niall in the balls. The other boy bent over. "My fantasy. Get your own."

"God dammit, Harry!"

Tanalei had turned around to see Niall drop to the ground and the other three looking at Harry. He smiled at her. She crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow. He winked and turned to face to others. He didn't want her to see what affect she was having on him.

"Problems, Harry?" Liam asked, pointedly looking at his friend's crotch.

"Look at her and see if you don't have the same problem," he dared.

"You think they're real?" Niall asked. He was still on the ground, looking at Tanalei.

"I don't care," Louis said.

"Alright, boys. Let's get to work," the director called out.

"Hey, Mommy!" Eli yelled through the phone.

"Hey, baby. You havin' fun at Shug and Poppy's?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"How was your baseball game?"

"We lost. Zeke's team won."

"Has Alan played yet?"

"No, ma'am. His game is at five. I miss you, Mommy."

"I miss you too, Eli. Guess what? We're passin' through Atlanta in a couple of days and we get to stop to see you for a few days. You get to meet the guys I'm workin' with."

"Cool! Here's Aunt Maddi."

"Hey, Lei."

Tanalei groaned. "You will never guess what they just sprang on me, Maddi. I have to sing. In front of people."

She laughed. "Have you picked a song yet?"

"Maybe. Remember Kyrie by Mr. Mister?"

"Sing it for me."

"Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel, kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night, kyrie eleison where I'm going, will you follow, kyrie eleison on a highway in the night."

"That's good, Tanalei. Any others?"

"Santana's Into the Night. You know, with Chad Kroeger from Nickelback."

"Video yourself singin' them and send them to me." She paused for a moment. "So, what are they like?"

"Five guys in their early twenties. I haven't really spent any time with them."

"How many times have you changed your panties today?"

She groaned. "Please tell me that you did not just say that in front of my parents."

"No. Just your brother."

Tanalei could hear her brother, Curt, in the back ground going, "La la la." She laughed. Sighing, she reclined on the couch. "Madison, I think I'm gonna be in trouble."

"He's lookin'?"

"Yep."

"Lei, it's been how long since Chaske? Nine months? Go for it, honey. You get to go all cougar on his young ass."

"Not helpin', Madison," she muttered. 

"Yes, I am. You're just not listenin' to my advice. Call up Ashley, or better yet, Elizabeth. She's our age. Let her give you advice and she will say the same damn thing. Tie his ass up and ride 'em cowgirl."

Tanalei laughed at that description. Hearing a noise, she glanced up to find Liam and Niall in the doorway. "I'm so glad you're not on speaker right now."

"One of them just walked in?"

"Two."

"Ooh, now it's getting interestin'. He one of them?"

"No. I'll talk to you later. Love you, hon. Tell Zeke and Dixon I'll see them soon."

"Love you too, babe."

After hanging up the phone, she turned her attention to the guys. "Can I help you?"

"We were going to make a food run and were wondering if you want to go with us," Niall said.

"There's food here," she responded.

They both scrunched their noses. "That is not food. I'm not sure what it's called, but food it is not," Liam said.

"I won't even touch it, and I'll eat anything," Niall stated.

Tanalei shook her head at the picture in her head: the blond boy's head between her legs. Damn it, Madison was right; she needed to get laid. B.O.B.s weren't working any more. "Sure, I'll go. I'm gettin' bored anyway and that's dangerous."

Liam asked, "What do you do when that happens?"

"Well that really depends on who else is around," she teased. Mental facepalm. Lord, take me now.

Raised eyebrows from both of them. "That's good to know."

"Not really," she said as she squeezed between them, her breasts rubbing against Liam's chest while her ass brushed the front of Niall's pants. 

They watched as she ascended the stairs then looked at each other. Liam closed his eyes for a moment.

"What are you thinking?" Niall asked.

"I have a girlfriend, I have a girlfriend. You?"

"Thanks to Harry, Baby's stair dancing from Dirty Dancing."

"Oh fuck. Thank you for that image. No wonder you got nailed in the nuts."

"Okay. Let's go." Tanalei jumped the last few stairs. Being of the male persuasion, their eyes went immediately to her breasts to see them bounce. She headed for the door.

"Please do that again when we go outside," Liam muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing." He lowered his voice to whisper at Niall, who was furiously texting. "Is someone gonna record it if she does it again?"

"Louis," Niall whispered back.

"Good lad."

Larry's Cougar Ch. 02



Splat. Tanalei turned her head away from the annoying thing that hit her face. Splat. Her eyes blinked. Splat. She opened her eyes to see the ceiling in the semi-darkness. Why does it look different? She got out of bed to turn on the light when the ceiling caved in and water began pouring onto her bed. She screamed, backing into the wall. The carpet was soaked. She grabbed her phone and headed into the living room. Glancing at the time, she grumbled. If she had to be up at 3:30 in the morning, then other people did too.

"How long until it can be fixed?" Tanalei asked. She and Andrea were staring up at the hole in her ceiling with the building manager.

"A month, two tops," he said.

Tanalei groaned. "I'm not gonna be here that long. Is there another furnished three bedroom apartment that here that we can rent?"

"No, ma'am, I'm sorry. Everything else is under contract."

"Why don't you go live with the boys?" Andrea inquired.

She fixed her friend with a steely gaze. "I wanted three bedrooms for my boys and Curt and Madison or my parents when they come."

"They have a ten bedroom house. There's five of them."

"Along with security."

"They're over the garage."

Tanalei sighed. "The kids are comin' next weekend with Curt and Madison and their kids. Including Jaxon and Nicole."

"Ooh. Sullen teen boy is coming? And fan-girl? Yeah, maybe a hotel is good until then."

"Your family is more than welcome with us, love."

The women whirled at the sound of the voice in the door. Tanalei glared daggers at Andrea. "You called them?" she hissed.

"To help pack."

"Andi!"

"Tanalei!"

"Um, Tanalei?" Liam interrupted. "Are only the clothes yours?"

"We won't mind if you stay with us. Your family is more than welcome," Zayn said.

She sighed. "You've met my boys. I've got three nephews comin' who are sixteen, four and three. The oldest is easily bored and the youngest is not quite out of the whiny stage. And a fourteen-year-old niece who would like nothing more than to kneel in your presence." She glanced pointedly at their crotches.

"Um, yeah. Well. Two of us have younger sisters," Liam said. "Boys will be a nice change."

"Right." Slipping her hands into her hair, she pulled the strands. "Okay. Clean out the cabinets and fridge in the kitchen. Don't forget the cookbook on the counter. My Kindle and laptop are in the livin' room and the movies go too. Me and Andrea will take care of the clothes. Y'all ain't getting' your hands on my underwear." She shook her finger at them.

Harry smirked. "Aww, there goes my fun for the night."

Tanalei narrowed her eyes at him. She strolled up to him until they were toe-to-toe. "If I find out that my panties have been anywhere but my body, the laundry hamper or the washer and dryer, I will cut vital body parts off. Especially if there are mysterious stains on them."

He leaned down till his nose touched hers. "I was kinda hoping you would be in them at the time."

"Get. The fuck. Out. Of. My. Room," she said through gritted teeth.

He stared down into her hazel eyes. At the moment they were a mixture of brown and green. He quickly pecked her lips before sauntering out the door, closing it behind him.

"I'll get you some more batteries tomorrow," Andrea said softly.

"Thank you."

By eight o'clock, Tanalei was situated in one of the second story bedrooms. She had her own bathroom, which was a major plus. The breakfast area faced the pool and spacious back yard; she could see the guys, their tour manager and their bodyguards laying out wood and arguing over a piece of paper. She took a sip of her coffee before succumbing to curiosity. 

As she neared them, she could see that there were several pieces of plastic lying off to the side, along with a slide. 

"We need to turn it around, lads! Otherwise they'll be ending in the woods!" Niall yelled to be heard over the music and seven other guys. 

"What are y'all doin'?" she asked Louis. He looked at her, quickly raking her body with his eyes. He threw an arm over her shoulders.

"Building a swing set. Figured your boys and nephews would enjoy it. Right now they have the slide backwards."

"My kids ain't comin' every weekend."

"Yeah, but my sisters are the week after with Harry's mum, along with Zayn's mum and sisters. The girls would enjoy it."

"Still. It would sit empty all the other times."

"Not really. The swings can hold up to 150 lbs. None of us are over 140 lbs." She looked up at him. He grinned and winked. "We checked."

"Ah." She looked up at the sky. "Lord, forgive them for their stupidity for they know not and please don't let the great Simon Cowell blame me for any injuries that will occur."

"Hey." Louis frowned. "I'll have you know this is not the first swing set that we've been on."

"Yeah. But it's the first one that y'all have built." She patted his front pocket where his phone rested. "Call the professionals. You got this at Lowe's?" He nodded. "They'll come put it together. And I promise I won't take any man points away from any of you. But I will break fingers if any kids get hurt on this. I'm sure your mama will agree with me. I can call and ask her," she stated, looking up at him innocently.

Louis stared at her for a moment. "Why the hell you didn't become a star years ago is beyond me. You're good. Lads! LADS!" Tanalei placed her fingers in her mouth and whistled. "Thank you."

"Welcome."

"Mummy Wolf here will break bones if any kids get hurt on this. I'm calling Lowe's." Seven voices protested. "She's going to call our mums if we don't."

Absolute silence before they all agreed. Her gaze caught Harry's. She smirked then turned and went back into the house.

The guys stared at the dishes on the table. Tanalei was the only one who loaded her plate.

"What is it?" Louis asked. His nose crinkled up.

"Chicken spaghetti. My grandma's recipe." She took a bite of her salad. No one moved. "We decided to share cooking, meaning I cook Southern American food. Eat or you won't get desert."

Niall's head shot up. "You made desert? What is it?"

"Another of my grandma's recipes. Red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. All from scratch."

He took a normal serving size. The other watched as he took a bite. His eyes widened. "That's good."

Soon they were praising Tanalei. Everyone went back for seconds, Niall for thirds. When they took a bite of cake, a chorus of moans rose from the table.

"Sweet Jesus, if you can cook Irish food, I'll marry you," Niall said. Harry and Louis shot him glares, which he ignored.

"I'll get the recipes from your mama."

Tanalei was typing on her laptop. The guys were doing the dishes. Hearing a noise in the doorway, she looked up to see Louis standing there. She pushed her glasses farther up her nose. 

"Can I help you?" He shook his head. She went back to typing. From her peripheral, she saw him adjust himself. She paused and closed her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she quickly saved her work and closed the computer. He continued to stand there. "Louis, is there somethin' you want?"

"Definitely. But the lads and I were wondering if you want to watch a film with us?"

She shrugged. "Sure."

As she passed by him, he leaned closer. "I like the glasses."

She frowned. "Thanks?" In the living room, she situated herself on a chair. "What are we watchin'?" All five guys were staring at her.

"Um," Liam looked down at the movie case in his hands. "Last House on the Left."

Her eyebrows rose. "Have you seen it before?" They shook their heads. "Well, it's a little disturbin'. Go ahead and put it in." At the end of the movie, the guys were huddled on the couch. "I warned you."

"That wasn't a little disturbing," Niall complained. "That was fucked up."

"The parents were cool," Zayn said. They looked at him. "They were. Come on, if that happened to your daughter, wouldn't you do the same thing?" They all said yes. "Point."

"Now I can't sleep," Harry said. "Whose idea was it to watch this movie?" They pointed at Liam.

"You told me no more Disney movies. Whose movie is this anyway?"

"Mine," Tanalei said. "I love horror movies."

"Jesus," Harry muttered. "I'm never gonna sleep again."

*&*&*

She took a sip of water and looked at her computer screen. "Which one?"

"I like Here's to Us. The Santana one is a little fast pace," Madison said.

"Yeah." She grinned. "Kyrie has always been a favorite. Can't Fight the Moonlight and Gimme Gimme Gimme might send the wrong message."

"Hello." 

She frowned. "Maddi?"

"And who are you?"

Tanalei spun around to see Zayn standing there. "Madison, I'll talk to you later."

"Wait, Lei."

With her computer closed, she faced her housemate. "Yes?" 

"We're gonna watch a film. Wanna join us?"

"Sure. What movie?"

"It's Harry's night. So Love Actually is first."

Her eyebrows rose. "Really?" She climbed off the bed to follow him.

"We taped up your name on the movie shelf. On your movie night, we'll watch your top three picks of the week."

She grinned mischievously. "So we can sit and watch all three Lord of the Rings movies in one sittin'?"

"Theater or special edition?"

"Special edition, of course."

He laughed as they entered the media room. "No. Only one special edition per week. Do you know how long it would take to watch all three?"

"Twelve hours. I've done it before." She shrugged as she sat in an oversized chair. "And then rewatched with commentaries."

Zayn bowed before her. "My queen."

She laughed at his antics.

Liam was watching Harry's reaction to Zayn and Tanalei's banter. He bit the inside of his lip to keep from smiling as Harry turned his body on the couch so he would be able to watch Tanalei at any time. 

"How long do you think it will take Harry to make a move on Tanalei?" Niall asked quietly.

"He'll wait until her kids are gone. Maybe even after the mums go back home."

"What are we whispering about?" Louis asked.

"Hazza and Lei," Niall responded.

"Ah. Fiver on the weekend. When the kids are here."

"After they're gone," said Niall, accepting the bet.

"After the mums leaves," Liam said.

"You noticed her tattoo yet?" Louis asked.

"Which one?" Liam asked.

"On her right wrist. 'Member how someone was going on about painting a tattoo on her to represent her lost 'son'?"

"Yeah?"

"Looks like she had a real one done." 

Louis left them to join Harry on the couch. If looks could kill, Zayn would have been decapitated and buried by now. "Quit it, Hazza." He briefly glanced at Lou before watching Zayn and Tanalei again. He sighed before slipping his foot between his friend's legs. 

Harry was wearing basketball shorts, which had slid up his legs with the way he was sitting. Louis slid his foot into the baggie shorts. With careful manipulations, he pressed his toes right under Harry's sack. Green eyes quickly met blue.

Stop staring, Louis signed.

I want, Harry signed back.

I do too, but we have to wait.

How long?

He shrugged. I have a feeling that if you push, she'll run.

Harry sighed. Larry time tonight?

Of course.

"And . . . ACTION!"

Louis grabbed Tanalei's arm. "What are you doing? You can't come into his life 20 years later and try to be mummy."

She ripped her arms from his grasp and glared at him. "In case you haven't noticed, he came into my life. He found me." She stormed off.

"Cut!" Wick, the director, yelled. "Beautiful, you two. On to the next scene." 

Louis joined Tanalei as they steered clear of the moving equipment. He rubbed her shoulders. "We should come back this weekend. Your family would enjoy it."

She nodded. "I might just do that. Eli's tall enough to go on most rides now."

"We could do the whole group."

"What about fans?"

"We could probably get the park for half a day. Have them shut the gates at a certain time, but leave people here so it won't be boring."

She glanced over her shoulder and froze when she realized how close he was. "Um, I'll think about it." She walked off to where Andrea was standing.

"What was that about?" Harry asked.

"Trying to get a large family outing going. The boys will be here in a few days. We can bring them here." Louis felt hands on his hips as teeth scraped his shoulder.

"She's driving me crazy. Did you see what she wore this morning?"

"The whole house saw. Even Zayn covered his lap."

Harry growled. "He shouldn't have been looking."

Louis laughed. "He couldn't helped it. She bent over. No panties, Harry."

"Alright, boys. We're ready," Wick called. They made their way to the group. "Here's what the next scene will be . . ."

"A pool! Mommy, you got a pool!" Eli ran up to the French doors that led poolside. He looked back to Tanalei. "Can we go swimmin'?"

"Maybe later. Let's go put your suitcase in your room."

His eyes widened. "I have my own room here?"

"No, baby. You're gonna share with Alan, Zeke and Dixon. Jaxon, Aunt Madison and Uncle Curt get their own rooms."

"Okay." He hugged her around the waist. Looking up at her, he grinned. "I love you, Mommy. I missed you."

"I love you too. And I miss you guys so much. Come on. Let me show you where y'all be sleepin'."

"Where is everyone?" Madison asked.

"The guys went to get take out. They wanted y'all to get settled before descendin' en masse. They're a lot to handle." She stopped in the hall. "Little boys in this room. Jaxon, you're right here. The study was converted into a bedroom so you can have your own space. Unfortunately you'll have to share the bathroom with the kids. Nikki, you're upstairs with me."

"No problem, Lei. Thanks."

"Which room? I'll go put my bags up."

"Nope. You wait for me. You're not gonna go paw through their stuff." Tanalei waved her brother and sister on. "Here's the master bedroom. Through there is the bathroom."

"Holy shit," Madison whispered.

"I know, right? The guys decided to leave this wing for guests. We're upstairs and Paul, Preston and Robert have their own apartment above the garage." 

Curt smirked. "You seem to be doing well." He kissed her temple. "You look happy."

She paused for a moment. "I actually am. I'm having the time of my life."

"They make you feel young again."

She shrugged. "I've never felt old. 'Responsible' might be the best word."

He kissed her again. "Let's check out the rest of this monstrosity."

Tanalei took them on a tour of the house. The adults were lounging poolside while the kids were playing and splashing in the pool when the others came home.

"Vas happenin'!" Zayn said as he exited the house, followed by Louis and Harry.

"Kids, Harry!" Louis exclaimed. "Come on!"

Harry grabbed him around the waist before he could run and jump into the pool. "Sorry. He's been so excited to see them again." He watched as Tanalei stood up from the chair she was on. He felt his mouth go dry. The top was a strip of fabric, similar to a tube top, and the bottoms were tiny. Normally she wore a tank top and shorts. His fingers squeezed Louis' waist when his eyes met hers. He whimpered.

"Hot mum!" Zayn said loudly. "Where did that suit come from?"

"The bottom of my bag. My other suits are either still wet or in the wash."

"We better go eat before Niall eats it all," Louis cut in.

"Boys! Nikki!" Madison and Tanalei yelled over their shoulders. Madison herded the boys towards the doors while Tanalei caught and picked up a wet Dixon and carried him inside, followed by her brother and Jaxon. Nikki kept her eyes on the ground as she tucked her towel around her, shy around her favorite band.

"Wet butts are over there," Tanalei said, pointing to the breakfast nook. After putting Dixon down, she turned to get plates when she found Liam and Niall staring at her. Liam's eyes were wide while Niall's mouth hung open. "What?" They slowly shook their heads. Ignoring them, she quickly fixed her kids' plates and then her own. She sat next to Zayn.

"As I said," he whispered. "Hot mum. I bet you everyone will excuse themselves to go adjust."

She looked at him. "You're nuts."

He shook his head. "Liam and Niall are still staring at you, and Paul, Preston and Robert won't look at you." 

She glanced around. He was right. She met Liam's eyes and raised an eyebrow. He smiled and nudged Niall. They joined them at the table.

"Aren't there two more of you?" Madison asked.

"They're still outside," Zayn answered. "Give them a minute."

Madison cocked an eyebrow at Tanalei. She glanced down and smirked. "Anythin' I should know?"

Tanalei frowned. "Nope. You know everythin' already. Nothin' new." 

Harry and Louis soon joined the table, taking the seats across from Tanalei. Louis choked on his drink when he glanced at her. Harry just watched as she conversed with her family. Every now and then his gaze would drop down. He wondered if she realized that her top was wet . . . and see-through.

Almost everyone was in the family room watching Cars with the younger boys. Jaxon retreated upstairs to the game room while Paul, Preston and Robert went to their apartment. Curt and Madison were spending some time alone.

Harry glanced over at Tanalei. Her nephews were on her lap, followed by her sons next to her. Nikki was curled into the arm of the couch. All of them were asleep. He nudged Louis to show him.

"Aww. We need to get a picture of that." He captured the image on his phone before gently shaking her leg. "Lei, do you need help with the boys?"

"Yes, please. Start with Alan and Eli. Alan can walk if you navigate him."

Liam came and steered the ten-year-old towards the bedroom. Harry picked up Eli, grunting at the unexpected weight. He looked down at Tanalei as Louis got Dixon. He too was surprised at the boy's weight.

Tanalei smiled. "They may look skinny, but they're solid." 

"Goodness," Niall said as he shifted Zeke.

"Nikki, go up to bed, honey," she told her niece.

Harry found Tanalei loading the last of the dishes in the dishwasher. He hugged her from behind, making his body flush with hers. He leaned down until his head rested on her shoulder. Hearing her breath catch, he grinned. "We need to talk, Lei."

"About what?"

"Us."

"There's not an 'us', Harry."

"There can be. I haven't hid how I'm attracted to you."

"I'm aware of it." Her eyes closed as he placed small kisses along her shoulder and neck. "Harry, I'm so much older . . ."

"Age doesn't matter. I would offer one night, but I don't think I would be satisfied with that." He slipped a hand into her shorts. His fingers touched nothing but bare skin. "You wax," he said in awe.

"Harry," she moaned as he searched for and found her clit. He pushed farther, sinking two fingers into her moist depths. He groaned, burying his head against her neck. "You're so fucking tight." He began to thrust into her, rubbing her clit with his palm. Her hands gripped his wrist. He bit and sucked along her neck, causing little moans to escape her lips. He crooked his fingers and said, "Come for me."

Lights exploded behind her eyelids. She felt lips on her own as she cried out her orgasm. When she came down, she realized that they were still in the kitchen. Harry's hand was still down her shorts. She pulled it out. "I need to think about this." She fled to her room.

"That went well," Louis said from the doorway. He crossed to his friend and lifted his hand, engulfing the fingers in his mouth. He moaned, thrusting against his hips.

"At least she's thinking," he said, his voice husky.

"Come on, let's go to bed. We're going to the amusement park tomorrow."

"Is everybody up?" Tanalei asked. She placed plates of eggs and bacon on the table.

Niall sat down, a mischievous grin on his face. "Zayn is doing his hair. Louis and Harry are still out. Why don't you go wake them?"

She frowned. "Alright."




Larry's Cougar Ch. 02



Liam looked over at Niall. When he opened his mouth, the Irishman shook his head. He pulled out his phone.

They are up. I woke them myself, Liam texted.

I know. They were about to jump in the shower, Niall texted back.

Oh. Naughty boy. Niall winked.

Tanalei knocked on the door. "Harry? Louis? Y'all up?" She hesitated when there was no answer.

"Go on in," Zayn said, coming out of his room. "They can sleep like the dead sometimes."

"Okay." She entered the dark room. The bed was empty. "Guys?" She crossed to the open bathroom door, where she heard the shower. She expected to find one getting ready while the other was showering. Her mouth dropped open in shock.

Louis was leaning against the wall while Harry was on his knees in front of him. It was obvious what was happening. Louis' fingers were tangled in Harry's hair and moved him back and forth. One of Harry's hands clutched Louis' hip while his other was in motion. Hazel eyes met blue through the steam. He licked his lower lip then bit it. She felt her breath hitch in her throat.

Tanalei knew she should leave, but her feet were rooted. She could hear their groans over the water. Moisture pooled between her thighs. She swore she could still feel Harry's fingers inside her from the night before. Louis' eyes closed as his back bowed. She quickly escaped to her room.

After locking the door, she stripped as she crossed to her bed. She pulled out her little swan and collapsed to her knees beside the bed. Opening her legs wide, she slipped the vibrator inside and turned it on. She bit the mattress as the devise stimulated her. Her screams were muffled as she quickly reached climax. She stayed where she was as tremors racked her body. Those two were going to be her six feet under.

She shakily got to her feet and redressed. After washing her hands, she headed back downstairs to spend time with her sons.

"You're not gonna get on?" Madison asked the curly-headed guy beside her.

He shook his head. "Don't like roller coasters. You?"

She nodded down at Zeke and Dixon. "Can't. They'll be a few more years. Will you come with me to the kiddie section?"

He glanced over to where Louis was giving Niall a look. The blond had his arm around Tanalei while talking to her brother. The group was in a line, not close to the main queue. "Sure."

They herded the younger boys to the carousel.

"I wanted to talk to you," Madison stated.

"I figured."

"You have a reputation." She held up her hand when he opened his mouth. "I don't care if it's deserved or not. Don't play with her. I about have her convinced to take a chance."

He let out a breath. "I'm very attracted to her. And I'm not the only one."

"I can tell. I think Zayn is the only one who doesn't watch every move she makes." She laid a hand on his arm. "Has she told you about her divorce?" He shook his head. "They had been married for nearly eight years when he told her that he was done. She had suspicions, especially when she had to leave town for work. A private investigator was hired. He had been havin' an affair for a majority of their marriage to a student of his. He's a high school art teacher."

"That bastard."

"Exactly. She didn't open up easily before and that made her close up more. Only two men have braved the wall. As you can tell, it didn't last. Two men in almost eight years."

He looked at her in shock. Long term was only a kindle in his mind. "You think we could last?"

"I thought Chaske would when she first told me, but I saw them together. Then I knew they wouldn't. The two of you though; that's different."

He bit his lip as he chose his words. "It's not just me," he said softly. "And I can't end it. It would kill both of us."

She nodded. "I can let you know more later."

Louis sat on the counter, munching on toast as he watched Tanalei and Madison make breakfast. Tanalei kept sneaking glances at him. He smirked. When Madison left the room, he spoke up.

"We're square."

"What?"

"We're square." He jumped off the counter and closed in behind her. "I saw you and Hazza the other night," he said softly. His breath fanned her neck. "You saw us yesterday. We're square."

"Louis." She turned to find herself boxed in.

"Normally I get jealous when he even thinks about looking at someone else, never mind touching. But with you," he ran his nose up her neck to her ear, "the only thing I could think of was seeing the two of you together." He sucked on the spot below her ear.

"L-Lou," she stuttered. He molded his body to hers as he brushed her lips with his. 

"Do you know what I did that night? I sucked his fingers clean then dragged him upstairs to nail him to the mattress." She whimpered when he backed up. His erection tented the front of his shorts. He caressed her face while staring into her green eyes. He smiled. "Green eyes and curly, brown hair. No wonder I want you so much." He turned and left.

She leaned against the counter to keep from crumbling. A cough made her look up. Madison stood there. "I'm in trouble."

"I'll say. Advice?"

"Sure."

"Go for it."

"With?"

"Both."

*&*&*



Larry's Cougar Ch. 03



Tanalei stirred the pot of homemade spaghetti sauce.

"That smells good," Niall said as he entered the kitchen. He hopped onto the counter, grabbing a bag of chips.

She smiled at him. "I figured everybody will be jet lagged so why not a home-cooked meal."

"Are you nervous?"

"About?" She added a dash of seasoning.

"Meeting Harry's mum."

She stilled. "No. Why should I be?"

He laughed. "I live in the same house, Lei. I see the three of you." He popped a chip in his mouth. When he swallowed, he continued. "He's talked to her every day since we landed in the States and has talked about you nearly the whole time. You should have heard him when your sons were here."

She bit her lip. When the front door banged open, she let out a sigh of relief. She and Niall met everyone in the living room. Three little girls, three teenagers, two twenty-somethings all added to the noise that the five guys usually made. Niall and Liam had dove into the crowd, hugging and tickling all the girls.

"Hello." Tanalei turned to see two good-looking women behind her. The one with light highlights held out her hand. "I'm Trisha, Zayn's mum."

"Tanalei," she introduced herself, shaking her hand.

"Zayn was right. You really are lovely."

She blushed. "Thank you."

"I'm Anne, Harry's mum," said the lady with dark hair. "Let's get the introductions.

"Do it," Louis said next to her ear, causing her to jump. "Whistle."

She did. Everyone froze and looked over at her. "Group together in your families," Louis instructed. Two groups of girls formed, leaving a blond by herself.

"This is my daughter, Gemma," Anne said, crossing over to the lonely blond.

"My daughters, Doniya, Waliyha and Safaa," Trisha pointed out her children from tallest to shortest.

"And these are my sisters," Louis said. "Charlotte, who we call Lottie, Felicite, then there's Phoebe and Daisy."

"This is Tanalei," Harry said, coming up behind her. "She also goes by Lei."

She took a quick head count. "I don't think we have enough beds. The master bedroom has a queen size bed. One room has a double bed while the other has four bunk beds."

"We'll get it sorted, dear," Trisha said. 

"This is absolutely wonderful," Anne said. "And you actually made it? It's not from jars?"

"I swear we gained five pounds in two weeks," Liam said. 

"Thank God we work out," Zayn said.

"You were right about the beds," Gemma said.

"What are the arrangements?" Tanalei asked.

"Anne and Gemma are in the master bedroom," Louis answered. "The three youngest are in with the bunk beds, while the other three are in the other room. That leaves Trisha and Doniya."

"Y'all can have my room. I can sleep on one of the sofas."

Several voices rose in protest. Zayn got up, returning shortly with three straws. 

"We're comfortable with each other, yeah?" She nodded. "Why don't you sleep with either me, Liam or Niall?" Louis and Harry sent up the biggest protest.

"Um. You and Liam have girlfriends. Wouldn't it be weird?"

"You're family now, Lei," Liam said. "If it makes you that uncomfortable, whoever gets the short straw has to sleep with one of the others."

She shrugged. "Alright, I guess."

Liam and Niall pulled their straws at the same time. The Irishman had the shortest. Teasingly he waggled his eyebrows and blew her a kiss.

"Zayn said your sons came for a visit this past weekend," Trisha said.

Tanalei nodded. "My brother and his family brought them for a visit. They had so much fun. They're drivin' my ex crazy, they won't shut up." She took a sip of wine. "I wished we could have filmed in Atlanta though."

"Being away from them for a long time is hard," Anne said. 

"It is," she agreed. "This is the first time I've been away from them so long. Only a week here or there. Oh, and a month with their dad in the summer."

"I saw Torn Apart on the flight over," Gemma said. "I thought it was brilliant." She toasted Tanalei with her wineglass.

"Thank you. Since I've been doing this movie, it's been getting' reviews, both good and bad. My Twitter has been blowin' up." She shrugged. "I just wrote it to get my feelin's out about my divorce." Both mothers raised their glasses in sympathy.

Doniya, Zayn's oldest sister, joined them. Drifting into silence, they watched as the boys entertained their little sisters. Niall began strumming Sister Christian on his guitar and singing.

"I love listening to them sing like this," Doniya said.

"They do this every day. Harry and Louis especially," Tanalei commented. She didn't see Anne or Gemma glance at her. Her attention was on the group.

"So," Gemma began. "What's going on between you, my brother and Lou?"

Tanalei paused, looking over at the younger woman. "Nothin'." She glanced at the bathroom where Anne was showering. She had come in to get some clothes, but decided to wait and talk with Harry's sister.

"But you want something to, yeah?"

"Y'all know about them?"

"It's the best/worst kept secret."

She bit her lip then shook her head. "They're too young. And it's two of them."

"They're over 16. Plenty old enough. They haven't been virgins for several years." She paused. "Do you need permission? I approve."

Tanalei shrugged. "I'll think about it."

"She's a lovely girl," Anne told Harry.

"Isn't she?" He couldn't take his eyes off of Tanalei as she played with Phoebe, Daisy and Safaa in the pool. Louis, Liam and Niall played soccer while Gemma and Doniya laid on lounges. Lottie, Fizzy and Waliyha were inside watching a movie. Zayn and Trisha were cooking.

"Harry," he turned to face his mother, "be careful. I don't want any of you to get hurt." He bit his lip and nodded. She sighed and sat back. "I saw the pictures of her kids you posted. Beautiful boys. Walking into a ready-made family will be difficult. Especially with four boys."

He scrunched up his face. "Four? Mum, she only has two. The younger two were her nephews."

"Oh. Well, the advice still stands."

"You are more than welcome to stay with us when you visit this summer," Anne said as she hugged Tanalei. "Your boys will have a great time."

She nodded. "I'll have to talk to their daddy. They'll be excited."

"Karen and Jay are looking forward to meeting you," Trisha said when her hug came. "Maura is too. The five of us get together every month for a weekend."

Tanalei hugged each of the girls before standing before the older sisters. They shared a three-way hug.

"Now, I'm expecting a text in a few days from you," Gemma whispered. 

"Oi, let's go!" Louis yelled, honking the horn.

Doniya waved him off. "So am I. Don't think of ages, just go for it."

Tanalei watched as the cars left the driveway. Liam and Niall stood on either side of her.

"Are you going to take their advice?" Niall asked.

She glanced between then. "What are you talkin' about?"

"Tanalei, the tension between the three of you get any thicker, we'll be able to see it. If it makes you feel better, I've never seen either of them act like this before."

"Cause other girls instantly fall into Harry's arms and Louis has a girlfriend."

Liam turned her to face him. "We've lived with them for nearly four years now. Never have any of us seen them act like this with anyone other than each other." He kissed her forehead before heading inside.

She turned to Niall. "Do you have anythin' to add?"

"Yeah. I'm hungry. Let's go eat."

*&*&*

Harry watched Tanalei as she sunbathed on the roof patio. He could here the others in the pool below them. He hesitated.

"Hazza, I will push you out the door."

"I'm going." He still stood there.

"Harry . . ." Louis warned.

Taking a deep breath, the twenty-year-old made his way across the deck. When he reached her lounge, he heard a yell then a splash. Louis had joined the others. Harry swallowed as he took in the figure before him. 

Her brown, curly hair was piled on top of her head. Earbuds connected to her phone. Her arms were raised, with her head resting on her hands. He could see the side of her breast. Her back was bare down to her red and white striped bottoms. Oh Lord, she was wearing the bikini from the week before last. And the top was unhooked. 

He ghosted his fingers down her spine before placing kisses over her shoulder. She moaned and shifted. His lips followed his fingers until he reached her bikini bottoms. Then he retraced his path. He lightly bit at the nape of her neck. He traced over the tattoo on her shoulder.

"Harry," she moaned. He stilled. Her eye cracked open. "Harry?" She sat up, clutching her top to her breasts.

He captured her face in his hands. "What are you doing to me? You're on my mind constantly. I can hardly remember my lines cause I'm watching you. You're in my dreams every night."

She opened her mouth to respond when he kissed her. His tongue swept inside, instantly deepening the kiss. She moaned again. Reaching out, she pulled him closer.

"Hey, guys . . . oh."

Breaking the kiss, Tanalei looked over Harry's shoulder to see Liam in the doorway. Harry sighed.

"This better be good, mate."

"Yeah, um. Tanalei has some visitors."

Quickly she put her top on while Harry shielded her. As she stood up, Harry grabbed her hand. She cupped his face and kissed him. On her way to her room for a dress, she heard a growl then Liam saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," before there was a thud. In the foyer, she saw three people waiting on her, a guy and two girls. She quickly pulled on her sundress.

"Can I help you?" The girls turned. Gasping she hurried down the stairs to embrace the taller girl. "What are you doin' here? Both of you." She hugged the shorter girl.

"I had a three-day leave and since you're closer, I decided to come visit. Lei, don't." She wiped at tears.

"Anna, Gail." Tanalei wrapped her arms around both of them. "I miss you so much."

"Lei," Anna began. "I want you to meet Kyle, my fiancé." 

The boy held out his hand. "Ma'am. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"You too." She glanced at Anna and raised an eyebrow. "Long engagement, yeah?"

She nodded. "Yeah."

"Um. Lei, do you have something to tell us?" Gail asked.

She frowned. "No. Why?"

Gail pointed behind Tanalei. "There are a bunch of guys that are wet standin' in the livin' room."

"Oh. Come on, I'll introduce you." Before she could take two steps, a knock sounded on the door. Frowning, she turned around. "Did you leave anyone outside? Like your sisters and cousin?"

"No. It's just the three of us," Anna answered.

Opening the door, Tanalei found three beautiful girls standing there. "Can I help you?"

"I'm here to see Louis. And I'll need my bag carried in," one girl said as she brushed past her. 

Her mouth fell open in shock. Turning to the other two, an eyebrow raised and arms crossed over her chest. From behind her, she heard Louis yell, "Eleanor!"

"So, that's Eleanor," the blond said. "I'm Perrie, Zayn's fiancée."

"I'm Sophia, Liam's girlfriend," the brunette introduced.

"Tanalei, Harry's co-star. Come on in."

"What about Eleanor's bag?" Sophia asked as Tanalei closed the door.

"She can come get it herself." Her three guests still stood in the foyer. "Let's go."

Gail grabbed her hand. "Don't beat her up, Lei. She'll learn."

Louis was talking to Eleanor when they reached the living room. Tanalei felt her heart ache before she shook it off and let out a whistle to get their attention. "Guys, these are my nieces, Anna and Gail, Nikki's older sisters, and Anna's fiancé, Kyle." She beamed with pride when she informed them that Anna and Kyle were in the Navy. "And of course," she turned to show off the other two guests, only to find them not there.

"Surprise!" Perrie and Sophia shouted as they jumped out from behind Tanalei's trio. Liam and Zayn met them half way. Niall and Harry approached the Americans.

"Let's go into the kitchen. I'm hungry." Once there, he turned and introduced himself. "I'm Niall." After shaking hands, he grabbed a bag of potato chips.

"I'm Harry."

"Are you gonna cook, Lei?" Anna asked. "Me and Gail can help."

"Why don't we go out to eat?" Harry deliberated. "No one will have to cook for a large group. The Italian restaurant has a private room we could use."

"Sounds good," Niall said. "Oi! Going out. Get cleaned up. Leaving at six."

"Where's my bag?" Eleanor asked.

"Right where you left it," Perrie answered.

Eleanor rounded on Tanalei. "You didn't bring it in? What good are you?"

"I'm good at a lot of things, honey. Bein' your bitch ain't one of them," Tanalei snapped.

"El, this is Harry's co-star, Tanalei Granger. I told you she was staying with us," Louis said.

"My three, follow me." Tanalei led her nieces to their bedrooms.

"Holy shit! This is better than most hotels," Anna exclaimed.

"Wait till you see the bathroom."

Harry met her at the top of the stairs after she showed her guest their rooms. "I have a problem."

Tanalei frowned. "What?"

"I don't have a place to sleep." He crowded her. "Can I sleep with you?"

She bit her lip. "Sleep only." She blushed, dropping her head. "It's, um, not a good time for anythin' else."

He placed a finger under her chin, lifting her head. Emerald eyes looked up at him. "I'm not expecting anything." He kissed her softly. When he licked the seam of her lips, they parted. Instantly he plunged inside, tongue tangling with hers. He had been waiting to kiss her.

A giggle broke them apart. Sophia and Liam were watching them, grinning.

"You know, there's a room right over there," Liam said, pointing to Tanalei's room.

"Right. I've gotta get my clothes." He kissed her lightly before going to his and Louis' room. He walked in without knocking. Louis was leaning against a wall, softly smacking his head against it. Harry could hear Eleanor in the closet, bitching.

"I don't have any room for my clothes, Louis. It's all yours and Harry's clothes. And where has Harry been sleeping? With that crone I bet."

He pulled Louis into a tight hug. "And so it begins," he said under his breath. The shorter man heard and nodded.

"Guys," Paul said. "The owner said it was fine to bring in our own alcohol." He pointed to a cooler. "There's beer and white wine. Red wine is over on that table."

Gail and Anna turned to Tanalei. "One glass. Order Coke or tea also."

Tanalei fiddled with her wineglass, observing the people around her while conversing with Sophia, Perrie and Anna. Kyle was talking to Liam, Harry and Zayn. Gail and Niall were flirting with each other. She sneaked another glance at Louis and Eleanor.

"What's your take?" Sophia asked.

"It's off. She's tryin' too hard and he could care less."

Perrie nodded. "Now look at Harry."

She did, just as Louis and Harry shared a look. Neither was smiling. She frowned. "I've never seen them like this. I don't like it."

"Someone's gonna have a hangover tomorrow," Anna commented.

"But he'll be drunk enough to fuck her," Perrie said. "That's the only time he does."

"Let's go to a club," Sophia said.

"Sure."

"I'm in." The British girl went to tell the others.

"That reminds me," Tanalei began. "Tomorrow night we're filming the karakote scene. Y'all wanna be in it?"

Anna's mouth dropped. "You're gonna sing?"

"Yeah," she admitted reluctantly.

"Gail! Lei's gonna sing in the movie!"

"What!"

Tanalei cuddled up to Harry's back. "You wanna talk about it?"

He sighed. "You heard the rumors?"

"Larry Stylinson? Yeah. I kinda figured it out over the past few weeks."

"We fell hard for each other. After signing with Simon and Modest, press immediately started saying I was a flirt and a womanizer."

"Flirt, yeah. Womanizer, no."

He turned over and pulled her across his chest. "We're not allowed to sit next to each other in interviews, we can barely touch in public. If a picture comes out of me and Louis standing close to each other in public, Louis and Eleanor are photographed on an outing within a few days."

"The two of you seem strong, even though there's a wall."

"We try. Quiet moments on tour, even at home. I have a house I don't live in; it's for appearances only. Management is pushing for Eleanor to move in with Louis. They've been 'dating' for over two years now."

She was quiet for a moment. "What about me, Hazza? Where do I fit in?"

"Truthfully? Right between us. Before Mum left, I told her that in five years I can see me, you and Louis cheering on your kids at a football or baseball game. Then cuddling in bed later."

"You're serious."

He nodded. "Very. In an drunken conversation, we talked about maybe having a third. Not like Eleanor, but an actual third person, living and sharing our life with."

"That's somethin' to think on."

He kissed the top of her head. "I don't expect an answer at this moment. Within a year, definitely." He sighed. They could hear the sounds of the house. "He's fucking her right now."

"I can take your mind off of it."

He raised an eyebrow when he looked down at her. "Really?"

She nodded and began to kiss across his chest. She flicked and bit at his nipples. He groaned, his fingers threading into her hair. Nibbling down his torso, her tongue dipped into his navel. His erection tapped her chin. She tilted her head, her tongue snaking out to rim the head. She descended, taking the head in her mouth. He hissed, his back bowing.

Slowly she began to bob up and down. She let it fall out of her mouth to lave it with her tongue. Licking down, she soon came to his balls. She gently sucked one then the other into her mouth.

"Holy hell. Lei," he groaned. 

She licked up his dick like an ice cream cone. When she reached the tip, she engulfed him in her mouth. Gradually she lowered her head. When she hit the back of her throat, she took a deep breath and opened her throat. Soon her nose was in his pubic hair.

"Oh fuck!" he shouted as her throat muscles worked the head of his cock. She pulled up then did it again. "Oh God, babe. Stop." He yanked at her hair, causing her to moan around him. He yelled as he came in her mouth. She swallowed all that he gave her. With a pop, she released him. She glanced up and giggled.

His head was thrown back, his chest heaving. She crawled up to lay beside him. He reached out and pulled her onto his chest. His eyes opened, revealing the bright green orbs. "Damn, woman."

"As I told the bitch, I'm good at a lot of things."

"Yes you are. Remind me to return the favor." He pulled the covers up over them. "Have I ever told you that I can tie a cherry stem with my tongue?"

"I hate this. I truly do," Tanalei muttered.

"It's not that bad, love," Louis said.

"For you, maybe. You do this," she waved her hand, "for a living. I don't."

"Come on, Lei," Gail cheered. "It'll be fun!"

She eyed her niece at the table behind them. "You gonna get up and do it? It might be in the movie."

"Sure." She grabbed the book on the table.

"Lei," Andrea said in her earpiece. "Will you make the introductions?"

"Why can't you?" she said into the microphone on her dress.

"Because I'm stuck back here. You're closer."

She grumbled as she stood up and made her way through the crowd. On the stage, she turned and smiled at the audience. "Hello, everyone," she said into the microphone. "We would like to thank everyone for comin' out tonight to help make our movie. We want you to just act like you normally do when you come to a place like this. So pick your song selection and get up and sing when your name is called. And don't pay attention to the cameras. Word of warning though; the first take isn't always the best. We will have to re-sing a song sometimes. You were given a form to fill out; please do. Otherwise we can't use your footage, and it might be the best one. The waitresses will collect them for us. Also, there is a three drink limit of beer only." Boos hissed out. "I know; I need liquid encouragement to get up here to sing too. But we want you to be safe tonight and have fun. Cokes, water and sweet tea are available. And they can look like alcoholic drinks." She smiled and winked at them. "So here we go!"




Larry's Cougar Ch. 03



She hopped off the stage and made her way back to the table. Harry cuddled into her neck when she sat back down.

"Brilliant," he said softly. "And damn sexy too."

"Harry, get off Tanalei. She's supposed to be your mother," Andi grumbled. "Start whenever." With a sigh, he leaned away and took a sip of his Coke.

"You need to say 'Action!'" Louis said.

"Action!"

Harry took another sip of his drink and glanced over at Tanalei. She was looking through the songbook. "Have you made you choice yet, Courtney?"

"Yes." She quickly wrote down the song and number then held her arm up. The waitress soon came by to get it. The first singer was finishing up.

"What was it?" Zayn asked.

She turned to him. "A song that I think kicks ass."

"What is it?" Liam inquired as he took a sip of his drink. 

"Here's to Us by Halestorm. What about you two?"

"I've got it!" Louis shouted. "This one, Caleb, would be perfect for you." Niall started laughing.

Liam smiled at Louis' antics. "I Want to Live by Josh Gracin."

"Smile by Uncle Kracker," Zayn said.

She turned to Harry. "Josh? What song did you pick?"

He smiled at her. "Lady Antibellum's Hello World."

"I'm doing Valerie and Caleb's gonna sing Stereo Hearts," Louis said. The guys cracked up laughing.

"Next up is . . . Courtney Landry! Give up for Courtney!" the DJ boomed out.

"That's me," she said, biting her lip. She made her way to the stage. "Hey. Um. Here we go." She kept her eyes on the monitor and took a deep breath. The song began immediately. By the time the chorus began, she was able to look up. All five guys had their mouth open. Gail let out a sharp whistle and clapped. Anna yelled out. She smiled at her nieces.

When the song finished, the crowd roared. She groaned when Andi spoke in her ear. "Folks, I know you're aware that sometimes a scene has to be done over. Well, this is one of those times. Bear with us. You might get sick of the song after we're done." She started the song again.

"Lines, boys," Andi told them.

"Isn't she good?" Gail said, leaning down and putting her head on Harry's shoulder.

"She can sing," Harry said.

"Uh. It's pitchy," Zayn countered.

"Nobody's perfect," Niall offered. "Doesn't karaoke mean 'tone deaf'?"

Their party, scattered throughout the bar, clapped and rose to their feet at the end of the song. Tanalei made her way back to their table. Harry pulled her into a hug.

"That was good, Mum." She glanced up at him. "What?" he asked as he sat back down.

"You called me 'Mom'."

He ducked his head down. "I meant Courtney." Awkward silence began to build up.

"So," Louis said, banging on the table. "Who wants another drink?" He raised his hand.

Soon it was Harry's turn to sing. He did justice to the song. By the second chorus, she was tearing up.

"He's great," she said softly.

"You weren't so bad yourself," Liam complemented.

"He looks like his father up there." She wiped at her tears and smiled. "He loved to sing." She felt Gail's arms come around her shoulders.

When the song ended, the bar stood and clapped. Not many had a dry eye. Tanalei put her fingers in her mouth and whistled like Gail did. Harry rejoined the group. She cupped his face with her hands and kissed his forehead.

"Sweetie, that was awesome."

"Thanks," he said, looking down.

Liam was the last one to go. He got up on the stage and fiddled with the microphone, as if he were nervous. "Hello. I'm gonna sing I Want to Live by Josh Gracin. I know, an Englishman singing country. Well, the radio does play it over there." He began singing. Like the others of the group, he had the bar entranced. At the end of the song, he walked off stage but turned right back around. "That was the last song of the evening, ladies and gentlemen. Production and the boys and I hope you had a great time singing and watching. We actually have a treat for you. If you don't like our music, well, that's your opinion. But this is a song we are going to dedicate to a good friend of ours. Boys."

Zayn, Harry, Louis and Niall joined him on the stage, Niall carrying a guitar. Once they got themselves situated, Zayn called out to her. 

"Tanalei, can you come up here please?"

She looked at her nieces then at the girlfriends. Sophia and Perrie shooed her up there; Eleanor just looked bored. When she reached the stage, she hissed, "What are you doing?"

"This is a song called Little Things." Niall began strumming on the guitar and Zayn began singing, his forehead on hers. After his verse, he handed her off to Liam, who held her to his side. Louis wrapped an arm around her with her facing the audience. Nearly everyone had a lighter out. She giggled. Louis laid his head on her shoulder. On Harry's verse, he pulled her close to him. From chest to thighs, they touched. He spun her to a seat next to Niall. Tears were streaming down her face as the song drew to a close. They gathered around her, giving her a group hug. 

She wiped her face then grabbed a microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, One Direction. I hope y'all enjoyed yourselves tonight. Have a safe trip home." She quickly made her way to her family.

"Oh my God. Lei!" Gail was jumping up and down. Sophia and Perrie joined them. 

"Lucky girl," Perrie said. "Having them sing just to you."

She frowned. "Don't Zayn and Liam sing to y'all?"

"Yeah," Sophia answered. "But not that song."

"Louis sang it to me."

Perrie rolled her eyes. "That's nice, Eleanor."

"Ladies, and sir," Preston said as he came up to them. "I'm going to take you back to the house. It's gonna be another hour to get out of wardrobe and makeup."

Tanalei hugged her nieces. "Go back. I have to change and get these damn contacts out. I'll see you in the mornin'." She waved them off. She had just pulled off her dress when the bathroom door opened. 

"Tanalei?"

"Harry?" She opened the stall door. "What're you doin' in here?"

He joined her in the stall and locked the door. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a kiss. She soon felt brick against her back. Ripping her mouth away from his, she panted.

"Our first time is not gonna be in the ladies' restroom like some random hook-up."

"I know." He kissed along her jaw and down her neck. "You looked so sexy in that dress, and then you sang." He thrust his pelvis against her. "I'm about to explode."

A knock on the door caused them to freeze. The door opened and Liam called out, "Tanalei, we're just waiting on you and trying to find Harry."

"We'll be out in a minute," she told him.

"Good. I'll tell Robert not to search the boot of the cars for Harry then."

*&*&*



Larry's Cougar Ch. 04



"Morning, Lei." Tanalei stared at her niece. "What?"

"You're up. At six-thirty am. On a Friday."

Gail giggled. "We're goin' to the amusement park and maybe the water park today."

She hugged the eighteen-year-old. "Do I need to stop and get a box of condoms today?" she whispered in her ear.

"Lei!" the girl gasped. "Niall has his own."

"Birth control?"

She held up her arm. "Depo shot. You?"

She nodded. "And Harry has his own too."

"Bout time."

"You know why nothin' has happened."

"Please tell me you at least gave him a blow job to relieve tension."

"Gail!"

"What? When have we ever not talked freely about stuff like this?"

"True."

"Well?" Tanalei just smiled. "Okay. Tomorrow we're gonna do a girls' day and dish."

"Harry, Tanalei, we're home," Paul said to the couple in the backseat. They wearily raised their heads and opened a car door. Slowly they made their way inside and were greeted by the others.

"Here," Gail said, thrusting ibuprofen and a Coke at her aunt. She wrapped the shorter woman in her embrace. "Was it bad?" Tanalei nodded. 

"You look like shit, Hazza," Louis said.

"Feel like it too."

"Why don't you two go get showers. We're almost finished with dinner." 

The twosome shuffled upstairs. At the landing, Tanalei paused. She gently pulled Harry into her room.

"Lei?"

"I can't let go, Harry. I've been tryin' for the last few minutes." She glanced down at their entwined fingers.

He led them into the bathroom. "Shower or tub?"

"Shower."

They quickly showered, touching only to give comfort. He watched as she brushed her hair. Dressing a simple T-shirt and boxers, she followed him to his and Louis' room. After putting on a pair of lounge pants and running a brush through his hair, they descended the stairs to find dinner being set out. Lasagna, along with salad and bread, was on the table. Gail came up to them and hugged them both.

"Thanks, sweetie."

Dinner was a quiet affair. Only the sound of silverware on china filled the silence. Zayn and Niall began washing the dishes as Gail and Liam cleared the table. Gail set down a bottle of beer and a glass of wine before she picked up Harry and Tanalei's plates. Grabbing them by their hand, Louis pulled them to their feet and into the living room. On the big screen TV, the menu for Love Actually was showing. 

"Settle in and relax. We'll finish cleaning the kitchen."

Looking at each other, Tanalei curled up on the couch, pressing play. Harry settled beside her. It was nearly an hour before everyone else joined them, carrying a cheesecake. The couch was large enough to hold only five of them. Louis snuggled in next to Harry while Gail did the same to Tanalei, with Niall next to her. Liam and Zayn stretched out on the floor.

Hours later, Zayn woke to the sound of The Princess Bride menu. He stood and stretched. Glancing down at the couch, he smiled. Everyone was cuddling together, Liam at their feet. He pulled out his phone and snapped a picture. He tweeted it as he went to bed.

"I'm back!" Louis yelled out.

Liam quickly met him at the entrance to the kitchen. "Shh. They're still asleep."

"They need to wake up anyway. I got everyone a surprise." He was bouncing from foot to foot.

The younger guy eyed his band mate. "What did you do?"

"Come see." He grabbed Liam's hand to lead him to the front door. Two boxes sat there, making noises. "Look!" He opened the biggest box to show off seven puppies. "They're for us."

"Oh, Lou. Who's gonna look after them while we're on tour? Our mums?"

"No. That's the best part. They're all small breeds. They can come with us!" He clapped with joy.

"Seven puppies on a tour bus." He rubbed his with his hands. "Louis . . ."

"Only four of the puppies are for us. Lei and Gail will get the other three."

"Who's left out?"

Louis opened the smaller box and pulled out a gray and white tabby kitten. "This is for Harry." He rubbed his cheek with the ball of fluff.

"Four puppies and a kitten. Louis, did you even think?"

"Yes, Daddy, I did. After reading the script, we knew this was going to be emotionally hard. Look at yesterday. And it's not over, with them adding Gail as Harry's sister." He put the kitten back in the box. "The girls picked them out. This wasn't a spur of the moment idea. And our mums will look after them if needed. They're on board."

Liam sighed. "Let's wake the others up. Breakfast is ready."

"Hello, everyone!" Louis waved at the camera on the computer. "We have an odd day off today where we're gonna swim and hang around the house. Yesterday Harry and Tanalei had a bad day. So this morning I went to get their surprise."

Harry plopped down beside his friend then revealed the tabby. "This is my baby, Sabrina."

"And this," Louis reached down and pulled up an apricot toy poodle mix, "is my Pumpkin." He glanced at the screen at a question typed. "Everyone got a puppy. Liam, Zayn and Niall will be on in a few hours. Tanalei and Gail will be on tonight."

"I don't know how to do this," Tanalei said nervously, wrapping a curl around her finger.

"They type questions and we answer them," Niall said as he logged on to do a Twitcam.

"Tell me why I'm doin' this again?"

"Cause everyone else has and Louis promised. Here we go." He sat back and put his arm behind her. "We have a lot of viewers already. Hi, everybody. This is Harry's lovely co-star, Tanalei Granger. Say hi, Lei."

She waved. "Hi."

"We're not gonna be on here for very long. We have an early day tomorrow," he answered. "What were our gifts from Louis?" He turned to Tanalei.

She moved the blanket to reveal two yorkie-poos. "This is Melody," she said holding up the blond, "and this is Wicket." She showed off the dark puppy. She squinted at the screen. "Niall, what's this question?" 

He picked up her glasses and handed them to her as he read, "Where did the names come from?"

"I like the name Melody and Wicket is from Return of the Jedi. I thought he looked like an Ewok." She read the next question. "What was Niall's gift?"

He pulled his puppy from beside him. "She's a miniature greyhound. We decided on Eirinn."

*&*&*

"I'm not comfortable with you drinkin', Gail," Tanalei said as she mixed up a daiquiri. 

"Lei, I'll be here in the house. Besides I've drank before."

She sighed. "This better not come back and bite me in the ass."

"That's my job," Harry said as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Gail shook her head as she carried beers towards the living room. "That's not a visual I want, y'all."

"Ready to play 'Truth or Dare'?" he asked, nuzzling her neck.

Several hours, three pitchers of daiquiris and two cases of beer later, everyone, except Liam, was drunk. They were lounging on various chairs out by the pool. Zayn took a sip of his beer before asking, "What is something no one knows about you?"

Niall flicked his beer cap at him. "We already know everything about each other."

"Not about Gail or Lei."

"I can deep throat," Gail said. There were several coughing sounds. She giggled.

"Gail Olivia," Tanalei scolded.

"What? You taught me."

Tanalei felt five pairs of eyes on her.

"You taught your niece how to deep throat a dick," Niall said in astonishment. "And you haven't done it yet." He poked the teenager in front of him.

"Two nieces. I taught Anna too."

"We used a dildo," Gail informed. She slapped at Niall's leg. "You haven't earned special treatment yet."

"What's your secret, Lei?" Liam asked.

"I've only been with three guys."

"One being Chaske Spencer," Gail muttered into her cup.

"Gail!"

"The walls were thin, Lei."

"That doesn't count," Louis said.

"Why not?" Tanalei protested. "Not many people know that." He just waved his hand in her direction. "One was Taylor Lautner," she huffed.

Six mouths dropped open. "No. Still not good enough. People you shagged doesn't count."

"Oh! I know!" Gail exclaimed. "That dance, Lei. You know, from that Tarantino horror movie. Um, Death Proof."

"You can do the lap dance from Death Proof?" Niall asked.

"I can do several dances. Including the stair dance from Dirty Dancing."

"Show us," Louis demanded. "Use Harry as the guy."

Gail found the song while Liam ran in for a kitchen chair. Tanalei grabbed the bottle of rum and took a shot . . . or three. Niall, Louis and Zayn cleared space then grabbed cameras.

"You're taping this?" she asked.

"Hell yeah. You really think I'm gonna let this opportunity pass and not have a reminder?" Louis said.

"Oh Lord. Please don't post it."

"It won't leave our possession," he promised, sealing it with a light kiss.

Taking a deep breath, she walked over to Zayn, who was standing a distance behind Harry. She glanced up and winked. The music started and she began to dip and sway, softly singing along. She turned and strutted forward, smiling at Niall as she ran her hand up the back of Harry's hair. Dropping into a crouch, she spread her legs, doing a few hip thrusts. She came back up, looking over her shoulder. After turning, she did a little hip shake then went back down into a crouch. She crawled across the floor to Harry. With her head in his lap, she whipped her head back and forth. She scaled his body, her lips barely touching him. 

"Oh my God," Liam said as he watched. 

"Fucking lucky," Louis said.

Liam looked over at him. "Aren't you joining them?"

He shook his head. "Not right now." His eyes widened. "Holy shit."

Glancing back at the dance, his mouth fell open. "I have a girlfriend, I have a girlfriend," he muttered as he watched Tanalei shake her hips inches from Harry's crotch.

When the song ended, she was laying across his lap.

"Get upstairs right now," Harry said softly in her ear. She glanced at the young man. "Now, Lei."

She slid off his lap. "I'll be right back."

"No you won't," Louis called to her retreating back.

Tanalei was at her door when she heard pounding feet on the stairs. She turned to see Harry top the steps and turn toward her. She didn't get a chance to say anything before he had her against the wall, his tongue coaxing her into a deep kiss. His hands delved under her dress to shove her panties down her legs.

She ripped her mouth from his. "Harry, someone will see."

"Don't care," he muttered against her neck. He pushed his shorts down, freeing his erection. He lifted her leg to his hip. He thrust forward, impaling her. She bit her lip as he pulled out then surged forward.He bit at her neck. He tilted her hips slightly. She gasped as his dick raked across a spot inside her.

"Again." Soon she was crying out.

"Louis' gonna join us," he said in her ear. "He's giving me a few days with you first." He picked up his pace. "We've been fantasizing about it. You on your knees with a cock in your mouth and another in your pussy. Can you imagine it?" He pounded into her as much as he could with her ankles locked behind his back.

"Harder. God, Harry." Her back stiffened against the wall as her orgasm rushed through her. He groaned as her pussy tightened around him. He arched back when the first stream released from the head of his dick. 

Harry opened his eyes to find himself on his knees on the floor. Tanalei had her head back against the wall. Both of them were breathing heavy. He clutched at her hips, pulling her closer. She opened her eyes; the bright green orbs stared at him.

He touched her cheek under her eye. "Your eyes were blue when you took the contacts off the other day. When you got mad at Niall, they were brown. Now they're green."

A smile graced her lips. "They're my mood ring."

"They've been green a lot since we met." He ground his pelvis against hers. "Do I make you horny?"

"God, yes." She pulled him forward for a kiss.

Tanalei rolled over to stare at the clock. One am. Tomorrow was Harry and Gail's big emotional scene, so Harry was with Louis tonight. Funny how you can get used to someone lying next to you after a few days. Getting up, she made her way to downstairs and out to the pool. She quickly shed her gown and jumped in.

Louis watched as Tanalei surfaced. He had been in the kitchen when she came downstairs. He decided to join her and shucked his underwear. He dove in, surfacing near her.

"You scared the shit outta me, Lou." She splashed water at him.

He grinned. "I couldn't sleep. I saw you come out here and decided to join you." He swam closer. She retreated until her back hit the side of the pool. He came flush against her and groaned. His head dropped to her neck, licking the water off her.

"Lou," she moaned. His lips moved across her jaw to her lips. Capturing her lips, he thrust his tongue inside. Her arms slipped around his neck while her legs went around his waist. His hips pushed against her, causing them both to moan. Repositioning, his dick slipped inside her. 

"Oh fuck." He pulled back then pushed forward. Soon he was fully inside her. Her muscles clenched around him. "Don't do that."

"Move, Louis," she begged. He did. Keeping one hand on the ledge, he placed the other on her ass, tilting it up. "Oh sweet Jesus. Right there."

His lips covered hers when little yelps escaped. One of her hands slipped between them. He could feel it circling her clit. Soon she exploded around him. He gripped her tighter as tingles raced up his spine. Tearing his lips from hers, he gritted his teeth as erupted inside her. He pressed her against the wall as tremors rocked his body. She protested when he went to move away.

"We can't sleep in the pool, Lei."

She sighed. "I know."

"Let's go snuggle up to Harry." He swam/carried her to the steps. With the grace of a goddess, she climbed out of the pool. Using her nightgown, she wiped at the water. He just stared at her.

She looked back at him. "Lou?"

"Absolutely beautiful," he said as he got out of the pool. He pulled her into a deep kiss. "Bed. Now." He chased her upstairs to his room.

*&*&*

*&*&*

May 2014

Harry reached his arms around Tanalei, "helping" her cook. Gail giggled at them as Tanalei slapped her lover's hands again. 

"Gail! Gail! You gotta come see how high Liam throws me!" Eli ran up to his cousin, pulling at her hand. 

"I'm helpin' your mama fix lunch right now. Ain't you hungry?"

"Yeah." He looked over at his mother, noticing Harry's arms around her. He frowned before running back outside.

"What was that look for?" Harry asked. "I thought the boys liked me." Tanalei shrugged. 

"They never seen you be affectionate with anyone but Curt and Poppy," Gail spoke up. "You and Archer divorced when Eli was two. Y'all barely touched before then."

Tanalei frowned. "I hug Curt's friends. And he's seen me kiss Chaske before."

"Yeah, but not like this." She waved a knife at her aunt, making her notice the stance her and Harry were in. His arms were wrapped around her and she was leaning back into his chest. "You and Chaske might have slept together last year, but you weren't comfortable with him like this. Especially in front of your kids."

She glanced at Harry over her shoulder. He shrugged. "I'm affectionate. I like to hug," he squeezed her to him, "and kiss," he kissed her cheek, "the people I care about."

"Hence the rumors about you and Louis," Niall commented when he walked into the kitchen. He pecked Gail on her lips before heading to the refrigerator. 

"Aw, Nialler. Feeling left out?" Harry strolled over to his friend then bit him on the neck. 

"Ow, dammit, Harry! I hate when you do that!" 

"Here, sweetie," Gail said as she kissed the spot Harry bit. "There. All better."

Harry watched Tanalei and her kids out of the corner of his eye. She had her whole family up for a visit for Mother's Day. Next weekend she was leaving for Atlanta for Eli's eighth birthday.

"Are y'all enjoyin' the States while y'all are here?" Tanalei's mother, Linda, asked.

"Yes, ma'am," Harry said. 

"We've toured here a few times the past few years," Liam elaborated.

Linda Harris studied the young men in front of her. Two were playing in the pool with her daughter and grandsons while another was strumming a guitar with her son. Her husband was conversing with the other men. Then there were the two sitting with her. She glanced over at her daughter.

"She's happy. I haven't seen her like this in a long time."

"What about acting? Isn't she happy with that?" Liam asked.

"She is, but it's a job she enjoys doin' when she can. Have you read her books? That's her passion: writin'." She shook her head. "I'm talkin' about her bein' happy with life."

The boys glanced at each other before turning back to Mrs. Harris. 

"She writes?"

"I know she wrote Torn Apart. She has other stories she wrote?"

"Wait here." She got up then returned shortly with two books. "This is her young adult novel about shape shifters. This is her adult romance novel. Read with caution and don't let her see them."

"Rose Spears. That's Tanalei?" Liam queried.

She nodded. "She's one of the top young adult authors."

"And she writes movie scripts. Impressive."

"I know where I've heard of her before," Harry said. "Lottie was reading one while they were here." He pointed to the young adult book. "And I think my sister was reading this one."

"There not her only books. They're each part of a series. These are both the first ones." She glanced up. "Hide them. She's comin'."

Tanalei passed by the table where her mother was sitting with Harry and Liam. The boys were trying to look innocent. Her eyes narrowed on her lover. "What are you hidin'?" she asked as she caressed his hair.

"Nothing." He smiled his panty-dropping smile.

"Uh huh. I'm gonna get changed then fix dinner."

"We're going out," Louis said as he and Zayn ushered the small boys inside. Tanalei crossed her arms. "There are 18 people in this house, Tanalei. You are not cooking tonight. Or tomorrow. Your dad and brother are barbecuing."

She sighed. "Fine. Whatever." She retreated into the house.

Louis smiled at getting his way. Grabbing Harry's beer, he took a sip, just when Linda asked, "So, which one of you is sleepin' with my daughter?" He choked on the alcohol.

"Never occurred to me that Mummy Wolf had a mum of her own," the Doncaster man grumbled.

"Let's talk in the shower," Madison said. "Less chance of anyone over hearin' us."

Tanalei climbed into the tub while her best friend showered. "I'm so fuckin' confused, Maddi."

"You've got one hot guy in your bed and another wants to join y'all. Not much to be confused about."

"No. It's more like have two hot guys in my bed. I'm confused about my feelin's, Mad."

Madison grabbed a towel to dry off as Tanalei stripped in the tub. "When the fuck did that happen?"

"A few weeks ago."

"And you didn't tell me? Heifer." Biting her lip, she decided whether to tell her sister something. "I spoke with Harry the first visit. I told him I could see the two of you together."

"Maddi!"

"I had a dream the other night, Lei. I was at your weddin'. You took my breath away with how beautiful you looked. Harry was waitin' for you, Louis standin' next to him. Both of them had the biggest smiles on their faces."

Tanalei shivered. Madison had prognostic dreams. "Maddi, don't say anythin' to them."

"That wasn't the end of it. We were on a beach. The three of you stood together, cuttin' a cake."

She slid down the shower wall. "Not one fuckin' word."

"I'm gonna miss you," Harry said softly. The group was standing next to the terminal where Tanalei and Gail were about to board the plane for Atlanta.

"I'll only be gone for four days. I'll be back on Monday." She glanced up at him. Their foreheads touched as they quietly talked.

"I'll be lonely." She snorted. "What? I will."

"What about Louis? He'll still be here."




Larry's Cougar Ch. 04



He grunted. "Eleanor is coming for a visit. So I'll be all alone in our bed, all by my lonesome. Naked."

She smiled. "Take care of my babies."

"Our babies. They'll be more spoiled than what they are now."

"Flight 934 to Atlanta is now boarding at Gate 6."

He squeezed her tight before passing her to Louis. He gave Gail a hug before the girls made for the counter and the ticket agent. Watching as they traveled down the tunnel, he blinked a few times, not wanting to cry in public. He felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking over, he saw Liam. Giving a small smile, they headed for the exit with Niall and Robert. Zayn and Paul stayed behind with Louis to meet Eleanor's plane.

At the house, Niall pulled leftovers from the fridge. Liam grabbed an apple as he watched Harry cuddle Melody and Wicket, Tanalei's yorkie-poos. 

"What's it gonna be like we part ways for good?" he asked. Niall and Harry froze. Niall just glanced over at Liam before he finished loading his plate. Harry sent him a death glare. "I'm serious, Hazza. Production will be finished in three more weeks. What then?"

"The plans are she'll fly with us to England. She'll come back spend Father's Day weekend then fly back with the boys. They'll return home at the end of July."

"And then? Speak with her on the phone as much as possible, see her whenever?"

Harry nodded. "Exactly as you do with Sophia and Zayn does with Perrie."

"Big difference between their relationships and yours, Harry," Niall cut in. "She has kids and can't drop everything just to fly here or there."

"And where does Louis fit in? These are things you have to think of."

"Don't you fucking think I don't! That any of us don't!" he yelled. "All I can think about right now is that I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight because she's not here and the bitch is." He sat at the counter, placing the puppies on it. Melody and Wicket licked at his face. Liam scooped them up and put them on the floor.

"You love her?"

He dropped his head on to his arms. "I think I actually do. I like to just be near her, Liam. We don't have to be touching. She's just there, with her glasses perched on her nose, while she's reading or typing on the laptop."

"It doesn't bother you that she's old enough to be your mum?" Niall asked through a mouthful of food.

Harry looked at him. "Not at all. Gemma already loves her. Hell, even Mum and Trisha like her." He looked at his two friends. "Does it bother you? That she's older than me?"

"If you care that much for her, no," Liam answered. "She's gonna get a lot of bad publicity about it though."

"We'll close ranks around her," Niall announced. "So will our families. And her friends. She has lots of friends in Hollywood." He waved an egg roll at them. "Have you read her new script? It was good. The mum in it is kick ass."

"Did you read her book?" Liam countered.

"When did you read her script?" Harry said at the same time.

The blond shrugged. "Gail was reading it. Like proof-reading it. I read it then. I haven't gotten around to the books yet."

Harry and Niall were bouncing around the terminal as they waited for Tanalei and Gail's flight to get in.

"Will the two of you calm down?" Zayn scolded.

"And if it was Perrie on the plane? How will you be acting?" Harry tossed over his shoulder.

The Bradford boy opened his mouth to respond when Liam laid a hand on his shoulder and shook his head. Louis plopped down in the chair next to Zayn. He let out a big sigh.

"What's wrong, Lou?" Liam asked.

"Eleanor thinks I'm fucking Tanalei."

"Aren't you?"

"Yes. She's got the green-eyed monster on her shoulder for some reason. I didn't sign up for her shit. She knew what was what when she put ink to paper." He ran his hands through his hair. "How much longer?"

"Flight 398 from Atlanta is now arriving at Gate 12."

Harry waited until Tanalei started walking towards him prior to running up to her. She laughed as he spun her around. He captured her lips in a searing kiss before setting her feet on the ground. "God, I've missed you."

"I missed you too. Eli loved his presents and said to give y'all a big hug."

He barely let her go so she could greet the others. "We can't wait to get you into bed tonight," he whispered.

"Um, Tanalei," Gail said hesitantly. "I think you need to see this."

"What is it?" She walked over to her niece, stirring batter for cookies.

"It's a gossip website. Dana tweeted it to me."

"I hate those things." She read the screen.

"It seems as if a member of a certain boy band is in a relationship with his older co-star. Sources have seen them holding hands and kissing on set, where they play a mother and son. Mommy dearest took a trip this past weekend. The scene at the airport upon her return was STEAMY! Sources have also reported that her niece, who is also in the movie, is dating one of his band mates. They are all staying in the same house. I wonder if there will be any announcements in the coming months."

"Holy shit. Who the fuck are these people?" Tanalei's phone began pinging with texts then ringing. "Hello? Yeah, I just read it. I have nothin' to comment at this time. It's none of their fuckin' business, Darren! Don't comment on anythin'. Ignore their fuckin' calls." She hung up the phone. "Fuckin' parasites."

"What about Archer and the boys? Oh shit. Mom and Dad." Gail ran from the room, dialing her phone.

"What's wrong, baby?" Harry asked as he kissed the back of her neck. She motioned to the laptop. He quickly read the statement. His jaw clenched. "When did this go out?"

"About an hour ago. My manager just called. They're buggin' him. Gail's callin' her parents right now."

"What'd you tell him?"

"No comment at the moment. Don't you have to call Simon?"

He grimaced. "Yeah I do. And my family." He placed as sweet kiss on her lips. "What about your family?"

"Granger is an old family name, like three generations ago. My maiden and married names were never revealed. I will call them though, before pictures get posted and splashed at the supermarket."

He sighed. "Damage control time."

*&*&*

The ten of them were sitting in a tattoo parlor. They were picking out what they wanted.

"What does your fairy mean, Lei? When did you get it?" Zayn asked.

"It was after my divorce. Curt was just startin' to make a name for himself and wanted a picture for his studio. He actually picked it out. He told me that, to him, a fairy is the most allurin', enchantin' and mysterious creature. We humans aspire to be like that."

"And the words? 'All we need is love'." The guys glanced at each other.

"Our favorite Beatles' song. My grandma told me that to stand tall and strong, all you need is to love and be loved. I have that with my family and friends."

"I think I'm gonna love your grandmother, babe," Harry said as he kissed her temple. 

"Are y'all sure about this?" she asked. The boys were copying her fairy. "It's kinda girly for a guy to get."

"Of course," Louis reassured her. "You're our enchantress." He wiggles his eyebrows. "We all agreed on it. Even Niall," he nodded at the blond. "His first tattoo." He faked sniffled. "My boy's growing up." He got flicked off.

She turned to her niece, who was looking over different tattoos. "And you. Your parents are gonna kill me."

Gail waved off the concern. "I've been talkin' about it since September. They won't be too shocked. Anna has several."

"Your turn, ma'am," the tattoo artist said to her. As she positioned herself in the chair, he pulled on gloves. "So. What exactly do you want?"

She pointed to the trinity knot on her right wrist. "I wanna add some other tats around this one."

He checked out her tattoo. "This is good work."

"My brother did it. He's one of the most popular artists in Atlanta."

He paused and looked up at her. "Curt Harris is your brother?" She nodded. "Now I have to do my best."

She smiled at him. "Who do you think recommended you?"

He blushed. "I am so honored. Alright," he picked a sheet of paper, "and these are the ones you want?"

She nodded. "A shamrock, boxing gloves and the letter Z."

"And this one," Louis said. It was a sparrow with open wings and a feathery tail. "This on your left wrist, like this." He showed them. She looked at it then at him. His eyes cut over to Harry. "Now we'll match," he whispered in her ear.

"You guys are killing me," Andrea griped as she fell into a chair. Tanalei looked over at her friend. "You couldn't wait two weeks to get the tattoos, could you? No. You had to go the next last week of shooting to get them. You know how hard it is to airbrush over ointment? Very fucking hard."

"Andi," Tanalei began.

"And there's no guarantee that the damn make-up will stay, since it's a water scene."

"The guys have theirs in some not easily seen spots," Gail commented as she flipped through a magazine as she waited her turn.

Andrea's eyes narrowed at the teenager. "Harry's bathing suit rides low; it can be seen. Liam's is on his shoulder."

"Zayn's is on his ankle, Niall's on his calf and Louis' on his side." She rolled her eyes. "BFD."

Andrea stood up and took a step towards Gail.

"That's enough," Tanalei bit out sharply. "It's done, Andi. Fuckin' drop it. It's done and can't be taken back. We'll deal with it and try to make the lines perfect." The assistant director growled before storming out of the make up room. "Gail . . ."

"I know, Lei. I wouldn't be here without her buggin' the writers."

"Alright, Tanalei." Beth, the make up artist, said. "You're done. Come on, chickie," she waved at Gail. "Drop the pants and let's get this monstrosity covered."

"You left the swallow and the shamrock, Beth," Tanalei said as she looked at the inside of her right wrist and the outside of her left wrist.

"I thought they looked good. They might airbrush it out in post. Or they might even do a copy and paste, seeing how good it is."

Harry felt light brushes along his pelvis. Cracking open his eyes, he found Tanalei between his legs, her head propped on a fist as she stroked his new tattoo. His dick took notice of her position and began to harden.

"A little lower and to the right," he rumbled. She looked up at him and smiled. 

"Right here?" she teased as her hand wrapped around his erection. He hissed in a breath.

"Yeah," he moaned. He closed his eyes, giving into the sensation of her stroking him. Soon he was enveloped in wet heat. He groaned and thrust his hips up. He felt something different. Opening his eyes, he looked down to find Tanalei and Louis working up and down his dick on opposite sides. "Oh shit."

He watched through narrow eyes as Louis moved to behind Tanalei, raising her hips. She moaned around his dick as Louis slid forward. Soon they had a rhythm going; when Louis pulled out, she would be on her upstroke then engulf him when Louis thrust forward. When the Doncaster man picked up speed, she took Harry out of her mouth, moaning with each plunge. She bit down on the inside of his thigh to muffle her screams. He hissed at the bruise. She fell forward, her head on his stomach.

Harry bit his lips as he watched his lover freeze and groan behind their girl. Louis fell on top of her. "Guys, I'm gonna have blue balls if you don't get me off soon."

They chuckled at him. Louis rolled to the side as Tanalei climbed up Harry. He positioned himself when she straddled his waist. Gradually she lowered herself. He thrust up into her. Holding her in place, he pounded into her before climaxing. She sprawled over him as they caught their breaths. 

A pounding on the door caused them to quickly pull the covers up. "What?" Louis yelled out.

Zayn stuck his head in the door. "Time to get up." As he went to close the door, he popped back in. "We can here the three of you downstairs."

Larry's Cougar Ch. 05



June 2014 

"That is so sweet," Liam said as he snapped a picture. He quickly tweeted, "Harry, Tanalei and Louis asleep on the flight. They look like cats curled together."

"You just got Lou in trouble," Niall said. 

"Thirty minutes to landing, boys," Paul informed as he passed by. He gently shook Louis' shoulder. He blinked up at him. "Landing soon."

He nodded, turning to his seatmates. He shook them awake. Soon Louis was bouncing in his seat. "We're going to Doncaster, right, Paul?"

"Yeah, Lou. We're heading there first."

"Finally someone has a brother besides Niall," Zayn teased his hyper friend.

"Two," he reminded. "Two brothers. I have Niall beat by one."

Tanalei kissed his cheek. "You're gonna be the best big brother to them, just like you are to the girls."

After they landed, they walked the puppies before starting the three-hour drive to Doncaster. Louis' spirits were still high.

"He's not gonna do this the whole time, is he?" Tanalei asked Harry as Louis and Niall sang and danced to the radio.

"Pretty much."

Louis phone rang. His face lit up even more, if that was possible. "Hey, Mum. We're on the road now." He glanced at Tanalei. "She's with us. She told you she was coming." His face fell. "She is? I know that, Mum. What picture? So we were asleep. You've seen pictures of us asleep before." He sighed, dropping low in the seat. "Yes, Mum. I love you too. Bye."

"What's up, Lou?" Zayn asked.

"Eleanor will be there before we will." He looked out the window.

"Um. Why?" Niall asked.

"A picture that was tweeted."

"I told you, Liam."

Everyone looked at the shorn brunette. His eyes lowered as he pulled out his phone to show the others. Lou sighed.

"What's wrong with it?" Tanalei asked.

"Look at our hands," Harry responded.

Harry was leaning against the plane, head back. Tanalei was sprawled across his chest. Louis was laying on her back, his head between her shoulder blades. One of his arms was thrown over her to rest on Harry's leg just below his hand. Harry's arm had fallen off the back of the seat to rest on Louis' shoulder. It was a very intimate picture.

"Oh." She bit her lip, glancing at Louis from under her lashes. "How bad will it be?"

"He tweeted Eleanor two minutes after the picture was posted," Niall said, checking his phone.

"She's on her way to Doncaster now," Zayn said. "And she'll be there until we leave for Bradford."

Her mouth fell open in surprise. "I know y'all told me, but y'all were serious?"

They all nodded. "Very."

"Grocery store tomorrow," Louis muttered. "Out with the girls on the weekend. Us with the new twins."

"So if I take the girls out?" she queried.

"I can't be seen with you. Or Harry. A group outing would be fine." He laced their fingers together, still looking out the window.

Harry laid his head on her shoulder. He was soon asleep. The others followed.

"Hey, Lou," she said softly. He met her gaze. She caressed the side of his face with her free hand. "It'll work out somehow. I'll talk to your mama." His lips tilted in a small smile before he kissed her.

He thumbed her lower lips. "I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too."

Tanalei stretched after she exited the car. A nine-hour flight followed by a three-hour car ride had put a kink in her back. She walked over to Liam. "Hey, Lee."

"Hey, Lei," he said smiling. She crinkled her nose at him.

"Pop my back for me." She turned and crossed her arms over her chest. He leaned down and wrapped his arms over hers. After wiggling for a moment, she nodded. He stood to his full height, dangling her off the ground by several inches. With a hop and a squeeze, her vertebrae realigned. He did it one more time before setting her down.

"Good?"

She nodded before popping her neck. "Very."

The door flung open and Johanna was running down the walk. Louis met her halfway, catching her up and spinning her around. They walked back to the car. She gave each boy, and Paul, a hug before she stood before Tanalei.

"I'm Johanna. Everyone calls me Jay," she said holding out her hand.

"Tanalei. Everyone calls me Lei." She smiled when Jay began to laugh. 

"Come on in. Thank goodness school is still in. Otherwise there would be a mob here." She turned to the others. "Just take his bags up to his room and put yours in the living room. We'll get everything sorted later." Jay slipped her arm through Tannalei's. "I know we spoke over the phone, but thank you for taking care of my babies for me."

"It was no problem. I have five nieces who are busy with their own lives. It was nice to be around girls again." They stopped in the doorway. Tanalei swore her heart melted at the sight of Louis holding one of his brothers. A man placed the other baby in his free arm. With a wide smile, Louis looked up. Yep, ovaries explode, womb melted, she thought to herself.

"Come meet Declan and Robert," Jay urged. The man was busy taking pictures. Tanalei sat next to Louis and peered down at the baby closest to her.

"Are they identical?" she asked.

"Not exactly. Declan has a birthmark on the back of his left leg. Robbie doesn't have one."

"Can I?" At Jay's nod, she and Louis transferred the baby to her arms. "Oh my goodness," she said as he stretched. "You are just the most precious thing. You and your brother," she cooed down at him. She leaned down, brushing her lips on his forehead while inhaling. "I miss that smell," she told Jay.

Glancing up, she found everybody watching her. Jay had a small smile on her face. The man was still taking pictures. Harry was biting his lower lip. Liam, Niall and Zayn were smiling. Louis was just staring. Eleanor was by the stairs, her arms crossed over her chest, glaring at her.

"Hi, Eleanor. It's good to see you again. I didn't know you were gonna be here," Tanalei said, her voice dripping honey.

"Why wouldn't I be here? Louis is my boyfriend. What are you doing here?"

She bit the inside of her cheek. "I am aware of that. We're takin' a around about way of droppin' the guys off. And I wanted to visit with the girls."

"When are you leaving?"

"In a few days," Jay answered, looking back at Eleanor. In the past two and half years, she had never heard her talk like that. "I want to get to know Tanalei a little better. We have several things in common."

Eleanor pressed her lips together tightly before a rude comment could slip out.

"Great way of putting Eleanor in her place," Liam said a few days later. They were heading to Bradford to drop off Zayn.

Tanalei shrugged. "I decided to be nice. Let her show her true colors."

"Well played, love," Harry said, kissing her temple. 

By the time Tanalei, Harry and Niall reached Holmes Chapel, she was so tired of traveling. They spent two days with each family. Trisha Malik showed off the house that Zayn had bought her. Karen Payne welcomed her with open arms. She met Nicola and Ruth, Liam's older sisters.

"Oh my God," she said as she looked around the backyard. This is what she always thought of when she pictured the English countryside. "Anne, this place is gorgeous."

"Thank you." She handed the younger woman a cup of coffee. "How's the traveling going?"

Tanalei groaned. "Ready for it to be over. Niall and I are leavin' day after tomorrow for Mullingar. I'll be there for four days before flyin' back to London."

"Have Harry give you a key to his house. You can stay there."

She shook her head. "I'm just gonna get a hotel room close to the airport since I leave early the next mornin'. So Sophia and I are goin' shoppin' after I land."

"You've hardly seen anything, except for a vehicle."

"When I get back with Alan and Eli, we'll play tourist."

"Oh my God. Look at that girl over there."

His companion looked at him funny. "Have you hit your head?"

"No. Just look. The one smoking, with her hair in plats and the hat on."

He squinted. "Yeah. So."

"The tattoo on her left wrist."

"Kay. And?"

"It's a swallow. The tat on her right is a trinity knot."

He squinted again. "You can see that from here?"

"She's being expressive. See?"

"Yeah. What's so important about her?"

"Who do you know that has tattoos like that?"

"Tanalei Granger. But the neck hasn't been mentioned."

"I'm going to speak with her." He quickly crossed the plaza as she finished her conversation with her companion.

"Hello," he said.

She whirled around. "Hi. Can I help you?"

"Jaymi Hensley." He held out his hand. She shook it.

"Tanalei Granger and Sophia Smith." She frowned. "You look familiar."

"He's from Union J, a pop band here," Sophia said. "I watched you on X Factor. I'm a fan." She turned to Tanalei. "You should see his band mate, George. People swear that if Louis and Harry had a kid, it would look just like George."

Tanalei looked at Jaymi in shock. "Really?"

He nodded. "Ms. Granger, Ms. Smith, can I offer you a cup of tea?"

"Make it a coffee." They walked to a little coffee shop. After ordering, they sat a table towards the back.

"I can see how you captured their attention."

She stilled. "Excuse me?" She glanced at Sophia.

"Louis and Harry. Look at you. You remind me of the bombshells of the 60s. Add in the glasses and the accent, I'm surprised they let you out the house."

She sat back and studied him. His arms were resting on the table. On his right arm was a swallow and compass tattoo. She met his gaze. 

"Have you met Simon yet?"

"Not yet. I've done nothing but go from one hometown to the next. I actually just got off the plane from Mullingar."

"And hopping on one to America tomorrow. You're gonna get sick, Lei," Sophia warned.

"You actually just got back from England from visiting their parents and you're going back with the boys tomorrow," Chaske stated. "Lei, you know I love you, but don't you think that it's weird?"

Tanalei blew out a breath and sat on the edge of the bed. "Their moms invited me to go. This is my vacation time with the boys and we chose to go to England."

"Yeah. Hmm. There's something you're not telling me. Come on, little sister. What is it?"

"It's so wrong for you to call me 'little sister', Ke." She giggled then sighed. "I like him," she said softly. "He's been talkin' to the boys every day when I do."

"You had four weeks of hot sex and now you think you're in love with him? Lei," he lectured.

"It was six weeks of hot sex. I love you, but I don't feel like turnin' around to tell you somethin' and havin' my heart drop to my feet cause you're not there." She sighed. "I don't think I'm explainin' it right."

"You're doing perfect, babe. You're right though; we had chemistry, but not that spark that could turn into something more." A pause. "There's more. What about the other one?"

"Um, what other one?"

He sighed, dropping the subject. "Have you been reading the gossip columns?"

She grimaced. "A few. Both of us keep insistin' that we're just friends, that we're affectionate people that hug our friends often."

"I've said the same thing. So have the others. You received any other calls about it?"

"Gary Sinise called the other day. He and his wife were concerned." Crashes sounded from down the hall then she heard "Mom!" "I'll text after we land. Love you."

"Love you too, Lei."

"I swear I will leave you with your daddy if you don't get to bed right now!" she yelled as she started out of her bedroom.

Tanalei trudged down the gangway. Alan gripped her hand while she carried Eli. She could see the beginning of the terminal ahead. She could also hear the roar of a crowd. 

"Aww, crap," she muttered.

"What is it, Mommy?" Eli asked.

"I think the guys came to pick us up instead of lettin' us go straight to the hotel."

"I'm hungry," Alan said.

"Me too," Eli voiced. The noise level rose. "That's loud."

"Yes it is. Listen, they're gonna be girls yellin' at the guys and some people with cameras yellin' at us."

"This is what happens when you're famous, Mommy?" Eli asked.

"Yeah, baby."

"I'm glad you're not famous."

"Not yet," she mumbled. This trip will change her kids' lives, more than any of them thought. A few yards into the terminal, she paused and looked around. An ear-piercing whistle sounded from her right. The crowd paused in volume long enough to hear her name. The guys, plus three bodyguards, came forward.

"Run towards Liam," Tanalei told Eli when she set him down. Raising her hand, she signed 'L' then 'M', as he took off running, screaming Liam's name. Liam nodded, catching Eli and spun him around. Harry pointed at himself. She nodded.

"Who, Mom?" Alan asked.

"Harry." She watched as Alan jumped into Harry's arms. Then shrieked when Louis and Niall raced towards her. Her face was peppered with kisses. Louis sneaked one on her lips as Niall kissed her cheek. When they joined the others, Zayn and Liam kissed the top of her head while Harry kissed near her mouth.

"Y'all didn't have to meet us here. We could've taken a taxi to the house."

"Nope, we had to give a proper UK welcome," Louis said. They steered her towards to exit.

"Wait. What about our bags?"

"Damn," Harry muttered. "You know, you could have let us buy you clothes for here. No luggage needed. And why did you take the suitcase back with you?"

"I needed to repack." She shook her head. "You ain't buyin' us stuff while we're here."

He passed Alan off to Niall. "Let's go get your bags. We'll meet you at the car, yeah?" he asked the others.

"Take Will with you. Preston and Robert will go with us," Liam said.

Tanalei kissed her sons. "Listen to them and be good. Harry and I will be right back." The boys nodded. "Don't teach my kids anythin' you don't want your mamas to know about," she told the others. They nodded.

On the way to baggage claim, Harry pulled her into an alcove. He pressed her against the wall. She opened for him immediately, her arms going around his neck. 

"I've missed you," he said against her lips.

"I missed you too," she whispered. After a peck on the lips, they continued to the carousels. They had to wait a while. She laid her head on his arm. "This will be all over the papers tomorrow."

"What?"

"This little pose here, me with swollen lips, you with a hard-on. Then there was Alan runnin' to you."

"Who else would he have gone to?"

"Niall or Zayn."

"But not me or Louis."

She sighed. "I saw some pictures from the Memorial Day picnic we went to. Gail and Niall were clearly kissin'. Louis' leanin' in to tell me somethin' and it looks like he was ticklin' or kissin' my neck."

Harry smiled. "He was."

She swatted at him. "That's not the point. I'm bein' label a slut, Harry, sayin' I'm with you and Louis. I swear Eleanor is stalkin' me on Twitter. This one person is leavin' awful comments about me."

"How would it have looked if it were Louis and I who ran up to you if Alan went to Niall?"

"You're right. I swear our bags have to be the last ones off. Oh, here's Eli's." She pointed to a red suitcase. 

He grabbed it as it went by. "Elijah Glenn," he read. "What's Alan's middle name?"

"Joseph," she said as she pointed at a green case. "They didn't want their bags to be missed."

"I'll say." The Granger boys' names were painted on their suitcases in bold colors. "Where's yours?" he asked, looking for the black one she was using a few days ago.

"It's that one."

He watched as a purple bag went by. "Montana Rose" was painted on the top. "Is that your real name?" 

She nodded as they waited for it to come back around. "Montana Rose Harris Cooper."

He grimaced. "Can't you drop the 'Cooper' since you're divorced?"

"Only if I get married again." 

Feeling eyes on her, Tanalei opened her eyes to find Alan staring at her.

"Mornin', baby."

"Mornin', Mom. Why's Harry in bed with you? Is he your boyfriend?"

"Um. Yes?" 

"Like Daddy and Kirsten before they got married?"

"Exactly," she said to end the awkward conversation. "Is Eli up?"

"Yep."

Eli burst into the room. "Miss Anne and Miss Karen are here. They said get up."

"Y'all go get ready. I'm gonna take a shower."

"Kay, Mommy," they chorused. "Jinks. Double jinks. Mommy!"

"Alan, Eli, out." She sighed when the door slammed.

"Is that what your mornings are usually like?" Harry grumbled.

"Only on the weekends and durin' summer. Actually they crawl into bed with me. They couldn't do that this mornin'."

"Thank God. They would've gotten a bit of a surprise."

"Shut up," Louis groaned as he turned over, snuggling up to Harry. "Mmm. Hazza sandwich."

The door burst open. Tanalei and Harry looked up while Louis ducked under the covers. Niall quickly shut the door.

"The natives are getting restless. Get up. We're hungry."

"Order from room service," Louis said as he popped his head out.

"I did. By the time you three get up, along with everyone else, it will be time to eat again."

Tanalei stared at him. "I just realized where the Shire is."

"What?"

"You're a Hobbit, ain't ya? Only Hobbits eat like you do." He looked at her in confusion. "Breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses . . ."

"Luncheon, afternoon tea," Harry picked up.

"Dinner, supper," Louis finished.

Niall just stared at them. "You guys have watched that movie way too much. Get up." He smacked the blankets.

"You're lucky that was my hip, leprechaun," Harry muttered. "That would've been detrimental to my shower sex."

"No time for that. We gotta get up and go."

"What are we doing today?" Louis asked. "And there's always time for shower sex."

"Not with you three. We're going sight-seeing."

"We've seen London. We live here, for Christ's sake."

"The boys haven't. Now let's go." He swatted the three of them before heading towards the door. "If one of you isn't out there in fifteen minutes, I'm sending in a mum."

"Who takes the shortest time to get ready?" Harry asked.

"You do," Louis replied.

"And you take the longest. Go get in the shower."

"I'm wearing a hat today. You go."

Tanalei sighed. "I'll go. I don't wanna give your mamas the wrong impression."

"They already know we're sleeping together."

"But I don't want to flaunt it." She got out of bed and strolled to the bathroom.

Louis sighed and rolled onto his back. "I need call Eleanor."

"Why? She and Tanalei don't get along. Don't ruin her day," Harry pleaded.

"Perrie and Sophia are going. I don't wanna fight about it, Hazza. With you, her or management."

"Call her, Lou," Tanalei said from the bathroom door, toothbrush in hand. "Maybe she'll stop being a bitch and get that stick outta her ass."

"She does not have a stick up her ass," he protested.

"Towards Tanalei she does," Harry responded.

"Have fun, Mommy," Eli said, giving her a kiss.

"You look pretty, Mom," Alan complimented.

"She's absolutely gorgeous," Harry countered. He kissed her lips. "Go. We'll be fine."

Tanalei bit her lip, looking at three of the men in her life. She glanced towards Liam. "Don't let management get called by the neighbors. No wild party."

He smirked. "Yes, Mummy Wolf." He watched with the others as their sisters and girlfriends dragged Tanalei to the car. Closing the door, he rubbed his hands together. "Pizza's on the way and Zayn will be here soon with McDonald's. There's also a box of American candy. The biggest question is," he knelt down to the boys' level, a serious look on his face, "which is first: Transformers or X-Men?"

Tanalei had just taken a drink of her screwdriver when Nicola, Liam's oldest sister, threw her arm over her shoulders.

"You should marry Liam. You would have beautiful babies."

She choked. "Jesus, Nikki. He's got a girlfriend." She pointed to Sophia.

"I know. Look." She pulled out her phone. "We found this program online that combines pictures to see what your kids would look like." She scrolled until she found what she was looking for. "Here's James and Lizzy."




Larry's Cougar Ch. 05



"You named them?" Looking at the photos, she had to agree with the eldest Payne. They were cute kids.

"Here's what Niall and Tanalei's kids would look like," Ruth said. She frowned. "Do you have any red-heads in your family?"

"Yeah."

"Oh good. I thought the program had a glitch." A blue-eyed angel with red hair smiled up at her.

"You all did it?" The sisters nodded.

"I even did one for Louis," Gemma said. After looking around, she leaned forward. "Don't tell Eleanor."

Tanalei glanced at Perrie and Sophia. "What do y'all think of this?"

"It was our idea," Perrie said.

"Hey, love," Harry said as he opened the door to his house. Alan and Eli ran over to Tanalei, telling of their adventures. Harry frowned. Tanalei was bundled in a blanket though her face was flushed. He leaned over her, pressing his lips to her forehead. It was hot. "Lei, have you taken your temperature lately?"

"It's just a headache. I took somethin' for it a few hours ago." She winced at her sons' volume.

"Boys, go watch the telly. Let me take care of your mum. Get the blanket off."

"But I'm cold, Harry."

"It's just for a bit, love." He went to search the bathroom for a thermometer. "Open," he said when he returned.

She glared at him, but did as told. When it beeped, she removed it, staring at it. "I can't read this."

"That cause its Celsius." He read it and called Liam, walking away from Tanalei. "What are you doing?"

"Going out with Sophia. Why?"

"Shit. Lei's running a fever. I need to take her to the hospital."

"Who doesn't have plans? Niall?"

"Went to Ireland this morning. Louis' making appearances with Eleanor. Especially since we took them out today. Zayn and Perrie?"

"Maybe. Call them. Hazza, how high?"

"39.06."

"Shit. Let me check with Sophia."

"No. You two go out. I'll call Zayn."

"Let us know."

"Will do." He quickly disconnected. "Hey," he said when Zayn answered. "Please tell me you're not busy."

Tanalei watched Harry as he paced. When he finally got off the phone, she called out to him. "What is it?"

"Gemma is coming to watch the boys. I'm taking you to the hospital."

"It's a headache, Harry. I'll be fine."

"Your temperature is 39.06."

She stared at him for a moment. "I don't know metric."

"102.3."

"Oh. Yeah, let's go." She began to stand but delved into a coughing fit. He quickly crossed to her.

"Having you been coughing too?" She nodded. "Dammit, Lei. Why didn't you call me?" She waved him off as she tried to catch her breath.

"Cause the boys have been lookin' forward to this trip. And spendin' time with you guys."

He sighed and pulled her into his arms.

Gossip blog: "It seems that a certain American actress is on holiday in London. She and her sons were met at the airport by a certain boy band. The next day was a large family-type outing, including mothers and sisters. Handholding and kissing were documented. The actress was spotted a few evenings ago out with said sisters and girlfriends. Has she joined the elite ranks? A conversation of that night was who would she would make cuter children with. Last evening her 'son' had tweeted about taking her to the hospital and they were seen exiting the building. So far there is nothing about her condition, whether it's delicate or not. We are impatiently waiting an update of her diagnosis."

Harry frowned at Tanalei, who was on the phone with her manager. When she rung off, he commented, "You need an assistant."

"I have one. I left her at home." She flopped back onto the bed. He crawled over to her, taking her into his arms. She protested. "You're gonna get sick too."

"Then I'll deal with it. What did he say about the latest bout of gossip?"

"Nothin'. Asked if I was okay. Alan Carr wants to do an interview next week." He nodded. "And Graham Norton."

"You gonna do them?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. What do you think?"

"They're gonna ask you about us."

"I could say we're friends with benefits." She glanced up to see him frowning. "No go?"

"We'll talk about it. Will you be alright tomorrow by yourself?"

"Yeah. What's up?"

"Gotta go to work. Gemma is taking the boys to Holmes Chapel for a few days so you can get better."

"I can get some work done."

"On the new script or a new book?"

She slapped at his chest. "I knew my mother told y'all about the books. So, whacha think of 'em?"

"Are you trying to get a compliment? Shameless." He hugged her to him. "They were really good. I enjoyed them."

"So we're both workin' tomorrow." She laced their fingers together.

"And you're accepting those interviews. Is Rose Spears a secret?"

"No. Just separate from Tanalei Granger."

"I heard that you visited the great Simon Cowell the other day," Jaymi said as he took a sip of coffee.

Tanalei scrunched up her nose. She and Jaymi were meeting for coffee while Harry and Louis took Alan and Eli to the studio with them. "They're lucky I made it out the door before I set the place on fire."

He smirked. "What happened?"

She sighed. "Meetin' Simon went fine. It was afterwards that almost brought a crashin' halt to everythin'. Some peon stopped me and Harry from leavin', sayin' she had to go over somethin' with us. Little bitch pulled out a contract and began to outline it. They actually thought I was gonna sign it."

His jaw dropped. "A dating contract? Between you and Harry? Are they fucking blind?"

Her eyes narrowed at the comment, but continued. "I told her she could shove the paper up her ass and stormed out, runnin' right into Simon. Harry was right behind me, fumin'. When told what happened, Simon got mad. He didn't know anythin' about it. Lucky for him. If it was his idea, I would have sat back and roasted marshmallows."

"Wow. If I wasn't gay, I would try for you myself."

She smirked. "You can't handle me." Leaning forward, she said softly, "Why do you think I have two guys?"

He laughed. "How are you handling Eleanor?"

"Bitch better watch her mouth. One more snide comment and I'm gonna pull her hair out."



Larry's Cougar Ch. 06



July 2014

"Tanalei Granger!" She smiled and began descending the stairs. Alan Carr met her in front of the couch with a polite kiss to the cheek. He motioned to the couch. "Would you like a drink? Or can you have any?"

"I can have a drink. I just can't drink anythin' else for the rest of the day."

"And why not? Is cider okay?" 

She nodded. "Well, everyone knows I went to the hospital a week ago." A chorus of "ayes" rang out. "I had contracted an upper respiratory infection and I was exhausted. Since landing in London, we had only spent a few days with each of the families. A day after returning from Ireland, I flew to Atlanta to spend the weekend with my parents and brought my sons back with me for the rest of their summer vacation." She took her glass and took a sip.

"And going out to clubs."

"Two clubs. We celebrated my birthday one night. And the guys wanted a guys' night in with the boys, with movies and sword fights. The sisters took me out. Well, spendin' a total of 18 hours on a plane in a three-day time, with no rest in between to reset my internal clock, and then going out three days in a row with the kids and one night with everybody and one night with the girls, my body just kinda gave out."

"I saw your first movie. Brilliant. I wished you kicked her arse at the end though. I can't wait for the next one."

"We're all pretty excited about it. They're saying November/December for the premiere."

"And you'll be back for that?" She nodded. "We have to talk about you and Harry." She blushed. "You have news, don't you?"

She nodded. "Harry and I are in a relationship. I have now joined the Hollywood Cougar Club."

"You can't be that much older than him. What, 10 years? He's only 20."

She smiled. "And I'm only 38."

His jaw dropped. "There is no way. I want to look like you when I get your age. I've heard that you've been acting for 20 years now. Why haven't you become a star?"

"I've actually been acting for 30 years, if you include local theater. I would go out for parts, but they would already have someone else in mind. Return to the Blue Lagoon, the one with Milla Jovovich, I tried out for that when I was 13, but I was too young."

"Anything else you tried out for?"

"Both Denise Richards and Neve Campbell's roles in Wild Things, Alyson Hannigan's role as Willow on Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. You name a movie from the 90s and I'll tell you if I auditioned. I even tried out for American Pie. I was always told I wasn't innocent enough, bitchy enough or too sweet. I was in a few B-rated movies, a few of them slasher flicks. After I married and had kids, I stuck with TV shows. I would fly for the weekend to read then film for a week."

"You were in the Twilight movies, correct?"

"Yes. In New Moon and Breaking Dawn 2, I was a Volturi vampire. I was at Bella and Edward's wedding, and just in the background for the others."

"What made you go out for Torn Apart? I know you wrote it, but what made you want to star in it?"

"I was pushed into it. My friends and family was behind me 100% to do it. I went and had fun." 

"When I looked you up, I noticed that you received a few credits as Montana Granger. Is that your real name?"

"Montana is."

"Why change it?"

She bit her lip. "Um." She took a deep breath and slowly let it out. She gave Alan a weak smile. "I don't talk about this much. Right before I turned 19, I had a baby girl who I named Leilani."

"That's a beautiful name. What does it mean?"

"Heavenly flower."

"We haven't seen any pictures of her with you on this trip. Is she back in the States?"

"No." Her chin quivered. "She died of SIDS a month after she was born." The audience gasped.

Alan reached out and put a hand on top of hers. "I am so sorry."

"I named her well," she laughed. "I just combined our names to create Tanalei."

"Let's get off this sad subject. Now back to you and Harry. When was this taken?" He motioned to a screen behind them. It was picture of her and Harry, his arms around her waist as she leaned back into him.

"That was at a Memorial Day picnic in the town we were stayin' at in South Carolina." She blushed again. 

"I heard you had to sing in the movie. Can you sing?"

"I don't think so."

"Who are your favorite singers?"

"Um. Janis Joplin, Cher, Annie Lennox, Anne and Nancy Wilson of Heart. Those are the women. As for men, Freddie Mercury, John Denver, Jon Bon Jovi, David Cook. And of course Harry."

"Aw. What about the rest of the guys?"

"I love all their voices, but Harry's the most. They used to sing around the house all the time."

"Can you sing something now?"

She blushed. "Um. Sure."

"What song? We can have the band play it."

"That's okay." She took a deep breath. "Busted flat in Baton Rogue, waitin' for a train, and I's feelin' nearly faded as my jeans, Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained, it road us all the way to New Orleans, I pulled my harpoon out my dirty red bandana, I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine, we sang every song that driver knew, freedom's just another word for nothin' left to loose, nothin' don't mean nothin' if it ain't free, now now, and feelin' good was good enough for me, good enough for me and my Bobby McGee."

The audience cheered. Alan's mouth dropped open. "Oh my God. Please tell me you're going to record. Just one album."

"No. Sorry."

"What did the guys say the first time they heard you sing?"

"They forgot their lines," she giggled. "I had to sing the song several times."

"You don't sing around the house?"

"I do now. I wouldn't before that scene. The director told me to surprise them."

*&*&*

September 2014

Tanalei groaned at the ringing phone. "I'm dyin'," she said. "Hang up and call the morgue to come get my body."

"And where exactly will they find your body?" Madison asked.

"My bathroom. Tell the boys I love them. Tell Harry . . ."

"That you're gonna kill him?"

"What? No! I'll be watchin' over him. He needs to get an angel on his shoulder in remembrance."

"Damn, Lei, I didn't realize how dramatic you are."

"Hold on." She dropped the phone to retch into the toilet. Flushing, she laid back down then hit speaker on her phone. "This stomach bug is majorly kickin' my ass. I've spent the last three days layin' here, doin' nothin' but worshippin' the porcelain god."

"Lei," Madison said in exasperation. "I'm on my way over. Crawl into the shower. I'm gonna call the doctor."

"I just need the morgue, thanks."

"Fuckin' actors," Madison muttered as she hung up.

Thirty minutes later, Madison found Tanalei on the bathroom floor. "Have you moved at all?"

"Yeah. To throw up what is not in my stomach." She cracked open her eyes. "Are the EMTs waitin' in the bedroom? They can pick me up and wheel me away."

Madison threw a paper bag at her sister. "Take it."

"What's this?" Opening the bag, Tanalei pulled out a small box. "Pregnancy test? Get real, Maddi."

"Lei, you were takin' antibiotics in England."

"Yeah. So?"

"They cancel birth control. Please tell me y'all used condoms."

"No," she said softly. "Oh God, Maddi. What am I gonna do?"

"First you're gonna pee on that little stick then take a shower. In two hours, we're goin' to the doctor."

As they waited for the results, Madison got Tanalei to eat a few crackers and drink some Gatorade. The timer went off; neither moved.

"Check it," Tanalei whispered.

"You go check it. It's your test." She huffed when Tanalei stayed where she was. "Fine." Leaning over, she picked up the stick.

"Well?"

Madison flipped the stick over. "Congratulations. You passed." Two pink lines stared back at her.

"I know these are personal, but I have to ask," the nurse said apologetically. "Date of your last period."

"August 15, though it was short."

"Date of last intercourse."

"July 30."

"Are you on any birth control? Have you been on any medications the last few months?"

"I have the Depo shot. I received my last one in May. I caught an upper respiratory infection while in London in late June. The doctor put me on antibiotics."

"Where any other forms of birth control used?"

"No."

"Okay. Ms. Harris, the test shows that you are pregnant. Follow me." She led Tanalei and Madison to an exam room. "Dr. Ramirez will be right in. Go ahead and remove your clothes and put this gown on." She left them.

As Tanalei stripped, Madison commented, "You know, if Harry or Louis were here, you'd either be flat on your back or bent over the table."

"No I wouldn't." She caught Madison's look. "Okay. I totally would."

The doctor soon came in and did the exam. "Let's take a look at your prune."

"Prune?"

"At approximately ten weeks, that's how large the baby is." She gelled up a wand. "Here we go." They all watched the screen. The doctor clicked a few buttons. A swooshing sound filled the room. "There's the heartbeat," she said. "Oh. Um. Ms. Harris, do twins run in your family?"

"Yeah," Tanalei said reluctantly.

"How frequent?"

She glanced up at Madison. "At least twice a generation on my dad's side."

"You can know add yourself to that category."

Her face paled. "What?"

"Here's baby A," Dr. Ramirez said as she pointed to the monitor. "And this is baby B. Now they are the size of prunes but see how their fingers and toes are separated? You're actually eleven weeks along."

Tanalei stopped listening. A hand on her arm startled her. Madison held out the sonogram pictures. "I hope you caught all that."

"I did," Madison said. "Don't you wanna look?"

She shook her head. "Not right now. I just wanna go home."

Tanalei was lying on her bed when the phone rang. "'Lo?"

"Hey, love." Harry's deep voice came through the line.

"Hey."

He paused. "What's wrong?"

She bit her lip. "Are you sittin' down?"

"We're in bed, thinking of you," he answered seductively.

"Hey, sweetheart," Louis said.

She glanced at the clock. It read 5:30, meaning it was 11:30 in London. "I'm gonna send you a few pictures, okay?"

"Alright."

After sending a picture of the at-home test and the sonogram, she waited for a response. And waited. And waited. "Harry? Lou?" she said timidly.

"What's this?" Harry asked softly.

"I'm pregnant. With twins."

"Ah, babe." She could hear some noises on his end. "Get on Skype." She hurried to her computer and logged in to the program. Soon Harry's face was on the screen. He wiped at his face. Louis was in the background, jumping around.

"Are you cryin'?" she asked.

"I love you, you know. Everything within me is yours. Heart, body and soul."

Her eyes teared up. "Jesus, Hazza."

"We're having a baby!" Louis yelled. He came forward and kissed at the camera, hugging Harry. "I love you so much."

"Can we tell our friends and family yet? How far along are you? When are you due?" Harry fired off excitedly.

"Not yet. About eleven weeks, so by Halloween we can tell. I'm due mid-April but twins can come early and I'm high risk because of my age."

"We have to tell our mums, Lei. They'll kill us if we wait."

"And Simon?"

"Oh, yeah. Fuck," Louis said.

"Modest doesn't control me, guys. If they mention anythin' about an abortion or sayin' they're someone else's, tell them I said to go leap off a fuckin' cliff."

"You're so sexy when you get angry," Harry stated. Louis laughed.

*&*&*

November 2014

Fan blog: "So my fellow Directioners, Tanalei Granger confirmed her and Harry Styles relationship back in July. And so far my favorite couple name is Harlyn. Gail Granger posted Halloween pictures last week. The guys had visited Tanalei and her boys, taking them trick-or-treating. I noticed something interesting. Here are some pictures from May, during filming, and from July, when the Granger family was in London. Tanalei has a flat stomach. Now look at the Halloween pics. Is it just me or is the tummy a little bigger? She has been seen coming out a doctor's office in Marietta, GA this month. When asked, she said it was an annual check-up. I'll keep you updated."

"None of my clothes fit," Tanalei pouted. "I'm scared to go clothes shoppin' in case the damn paparazzi see me."

"Language, Montana," her grandmother fussed.

"Sorry, Nana." She laid her head on her shoulder.

"What's wrong, sweetie?"

"You've seen the tabloids. They're makin' me out to be cradle robber."

"When have you ever cared what anyone thought about you?"

"Alan got into a fight at school before break. Some kid said somethin' ugly. Archer's makin' noises about goin' back to court."

"What about your young men?"

Tanalei smiled. "They're over the moon." She pulled out her phone to show Harry and Louis painting a bedroom in Harry's house. "They've actually got the cribs and everythin' bought. They're waitin' to find out what they are before they finish paintin'."

"Girls. You're havin' girls."

She looked at her grandmother in astonishment. "How do you know? Dr. Ramirez said we have to wait a few more weeks."

"I have five children, seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. You are havin' girls and Kaycee is havin' a boy."

*&*&*

December 2014

"Okay, everyone. It's time," Harry announced. He and his family flew in to spend Christmas with Tanalei and her family. Four laptops were set up around the room so Louis, Niall, Liam and Zayn could find out the news at the same time.

Harry held up an envelope. "In here, we have the results. They flashed the cameras this time." He slowly opened the envelope and peeked inside. A huge smiled bloomed on his face.

"Get on with it, man!" Louis called out.

He pulled out a pink card. Cheers erupted. Tanalei whistled, shutting them up. "Thanks, love. I wasn't done. Baby A is a girl. Baby B is," he paused for dramatic effect, causing everyone to groan. He lifted out another pink card. "A girl!" More cheers. "Wait! There's more!"

"I thought it was only twins," someone called out. "There's another one?"

"No," Tanalei frowned at her cousin.

"I wanted to do this." Harry got down on one knee before her. "Nine months ago, we met for the first time and all I could think was 'Oh my God, she's beautiful' and my crush began. Since that day, as we got to know each other, I learned that your heart and soul were really what made you stand out and shine. And the lads agree." Four confirmations sound through tinny speakers. "I fell so far in love with you, and the boys, that I believe I made a crater." Laughter rang out. He smiled. "The day you left to get the boys, I dragged Louis with me to find this." He pulled out a platinum ring. Tanalei covered her mouth. "Montana Rose Harris, will you marry me?"

She nodded, tears streaming down her face. Harry stood, pulling her into his arms and into a kiss. "I love you," she whispered as family converged around them.

Fan blog: "OMG, Directioners! It was just announced that Harry and Tanalei are engaged! And having twins! I fainted! Everyone knows I'm a Horan Harlot, but I'm so jealous of this beautiful, talented woman. Yes, I've read her YA novels and have fallen in love with them. They surpass Twilight, in my opinion. Congratulations to the Granger and Styles families! Those babies will be beautiful."

Larry's Cougar Ch. 07



February 2015

Harry crossed over to the photographer. "These pictures don't leak to anyone. What goes on here doesn't either," he said softly.

"I understand," Toby said. 

Tanalei came out in a toga-style dress. It had a slit down the front so the stomach could be shown.

"Tanalei, can you lay down? Harry, help her. Alright boys, take off your shirts." Harry, Alan, Eli and Louis threw their shirts off to the side.

"Why is Louis in the pictures too?" Eli asked.

"Cause he's the babies' godfather, like Uncle Jack is yours and Uncle Curt is Alan's," Madison explained. She was going to take them to Archer after the photo shoot.

"Okay."

"Harry, you'll be kissing the top of her stomach. You," he pointed to Alan, "come right here. Louis, yes just like that." Louis laid his head on her legs to reach the bottom of her belly. "And you, little guy, right here." Tanalei felt four pairs of lips kissing her stomach. The babies stretched, as if trying to get them off. 

"Now just the hands," Toby instructed. "Okay, Mom. Stand up. We'll have just big brothers now." Kissing the babies, laughing with Tanalei with hands on the stomach. "Alright. I'm finished with the big brothers."

"Have fun at Daddy's."

"We will." They gave kisses and hugs to Harry and Louis before leaving.

"What other poses were you thinking off?" Toby asked.

"This is my favorite," Louis said. They were looking at the pictures on the computer. It was of he and Harry kissing the babies right when they pushed out. A little hand and foot were between their faces.

"I like this one," Harry pointed out. It was just of Tanalei's stomach. He and Louis had their hands on it, with her hands on top of theirs.

"What about this one?" Tanalei asked. She and Louis had their fingers laced together, showing off their swallows. Right above them were Harry's.

"Have you figured out which ones you want?"

"Not yet," Harry said. "Can you print them out? We'll make our decision in the next couple of days."

*&*&*

March 2015

"Hey, Paul."

"Tanalei. How are you doing?" Paul stepped away to hear better.

"I'm huge and feel like I'm carryin' two watermelons. What the hell do you think?" A pause. "Sorry. Is there any way I can talk to Harry?"

"They're on stage, Lei."

"Oh. How much longer?"

"Fifteen, thirty minutes tops. Why?"

"I'm heading to the hospital."

"Oh shit." He quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie, telling someone to get Harry at the end of the song. "The song's almost over. Hold on."

Harry was in front of him a minute later. "What's up, Paul?"

He held out the phone. "It's Lei."

"Babe, you okay?" The tour manager watched the twenty-one year-old's face turn white. "How long? It's gonna take up nearly 20 hours before we get there. Can't you cross your legs or something?" He pulled the phone away from his ear. "Sorry, sorry. Okay. I love you." He handed the phone back. "I'm gonna be a dad."

"Yes, you are. Now go finish the concert so we can go."

Harry ran back on stage.

"Everything alright, Harry?" Louis asked. Harry hugged him.

"Our girls are on the way." Blue eyes met green. "We'll meet them tomorrow." Louis stood there for a moment.

"Um, guys," Liam joined them, followed by Niall and Zayn. "Concert remember? Don't have time for a Larry moment."

Louis let out a whoop. "The babies are on the way!" he yelled into the microphone. The audience erupted in cheers. He pulled Harry away from the others, his arm around his shoulders. "By this time tomorrow, our girls will be safe in their daddies' arms."

Zayn looked at Niall. "I hope no one caught the real meaning of that statement."

Niall nodded. "Right."

Press release: "Harry Styles and Tanalei Granger are happy to announce the arrival of their daughters, Riley Grace and Darcy Noelle Styles, born on March 28, 2015. Band mate Louis Tomlinson commented 'They are absolutely gorgeous. They are a perfect mixture of Harry and Lei.' Many fans are wishing the family luck."

Harry couldn't stop staring at the bundle in his arms.

"She's an angel, Harry," his sister, Gemma, said from over his shoulder. "They both are. This is Darcy?" He nodded. "She has your lips."

Anne was frowning, looking between her phone and Riley, who was being held by her husband, Robin. "Harry," she walked over to them. Leaning down, she asked, "Why does Riley look like Louis?" She showed him the picture Jay had just sent. It was one of Louis' baby pictures. His eyes lifted to his mother's. She read the truth in his eyes. "Oh Harry," she whispered.

"Don't judge her, Mum," he said softly. Gemma hugged him from behind.

"Does he feel the same about her as you do?" He nodded. "And her feelings?" He nodded again. She wiped his face. "Is he gonna tell his family?"

"Just Jay. As far as everybody else, he's Darcy's godfather and Riley's honorary uncle."

"It's gonna tear him apart, Harry," Gemma said.

"I know, but as long as we are who we are, it has to be like this. We've talked about it."

"The ring is from both of you, isn't it?"

"He's the one who actually chose it."

Fan blog: "Did you see the pictures of Harry holding the twins? I think my ovaries just melted."

*&*&*

May 2015

"I don't like this, Montana," Archer said.

She threw her clothes on the bed. "Too fuckin' bad, Archer. June is my month this year, remember?"

"To be goin' back to England, though?"

"My fiancé lives there."

"And Europe? I've seen the tour schedule." He sighed. "I can't compete with all this, Tana."

"I never asked you to, Archer. Look," she sat on her bed, "I'm sorry this is hard on you."

"He's half our age! I'm petitionin' for full custody."

"The hell you are!" She stood and began pacing. "I will fight you tooth and nail on this, Archer."

"You could move to England and marry your pop star then."

"And see my kids a few times a year? Fuck that!"

"Montana, be reasonable."

"I am. You're the ass that's not. I live here. Our sons go to school here. So we spend a month abroad during the summer. Big fuckin' deal."

"Montana," he started.

"No, Archer. I'm gonna hang up now. And tell your little piece, who I know has talked you into this, that it will be a cold day in hell before she gets a dime of my money."

"Tana," he admonished.

"You don't pay child support, Archer. You put money aside for their college and pay for insurance. That's it. If she wants more money, she can get off her ass and get a fuckin' job."

"I'm recordin' this."

"Good. And I can pull out pictures and the private investigator's notes. Don't try to play hardball, Archer. I'm wearin' steel-toe stilettos and I've learned how to kick back."

*&*&*

June 2015

"You look wiped out, dear," Anne said when she greeted Tanalei.

"I am. Anne, these are my nieces, Gail and Dana."

"Hello, girls. I'm Harry's mum."

"Gran! Gran!" Eli yelled as he bounced around Anne.

"Hello, my boys." She hugged them tight. "I swear the two of you have grown a foot since April." She glanced down at the carriers. "And there are my precious angels. Let's go. We're meeting everyone at the restaurant. I'll hold the girls then."

Tanalei pried her eyes open when she heard Darcy and Riley begin to fuss. Hearing voices, she quickly got up to go to their room. Louis was holding Darcy, cooing down at her. Harry was in the process of changing Riley. He sat in one of the rockers when he was done.

"Do you think they're hungry? Should we wake Lei?"

"Let her sleep. They'll let us know if they're hungry," Louis answered. He took the other rocking chair.

She was able to back away without being noticed. Hurrying she got the camera and started recording before Harry began to sing Moments. Tears pricked at her eyes. The babies' eyes were wide hearing their dads' voices in person. She had a ton of videos that the guys have sent of either just Harry and Louis or the whole group talking or singing to them. But nothing compares to the real thing.

The song finished. "They're still awake, Lou."

"Their clocks must be off. You know how we get. One more song, sweetheart, then Da and Daddy have to got to bed." He began singing Nobody Knows, a Pink song they sang on X Factor. Halfway through, eyelids finally closed.

As gently as they could, they stood up and put them in the crib. Louis slid his arm around Harry's waist while Harry put his arm around Louis' shoulder. Harry kissed Louis' temple.

"They're our angels, Hazza," Louis said. "I know I can't publicly call them mine. But here are my girls."

"I know, Boo. Just as Lei's yours."

He looked up at his friend. "Have I ever thanked you?"

"For what?"

"Being my friend, loving me. Expanding my family to include two active boys and now these beautiful girls." He kissed Harry passionately.

"You need to thank Lei as well. She's the one to take a chance on us."

Tanalei slipped away unseen and crawled back into bed. Just in time.

Louis shuffled into the kitchen, plopping into a chair and laying his head on the table. Raising a hand, he snapped his fingers and pointed down. When he got no response, he lifted his head to find three women staring at him. Tanalei's eyebrow was raised and Gail was smirking while the blond just stared at him with her mouth open. He glanced down to make sure he remembered to put clothes on.

"What?" he finally asked.

"Not your peasants, Tommo," Gail said.

"I need coffee, woman. Get it." Tanalei crossed her arms, pushing her breasts up. Much to his and Harry's enjoyment, they had gotten bigger with her pregnancy. "Please, Lei," he finally begged. "We had a late night."

She sighed and got up. "You're lucky I love you, Lou. This is Dana, Gail's sister." She closed the teenager's mouth. "Dana, this is Louis."

Gail stood and passed Riley to Lou. "I'm taking a shower."

"Hello, beautiful girl," he cooed. He smiled sweetly at Tanalei when she placed a cup of coffee in front of him. She kissed the baby's forehead then his cheek before heading into the living room, where Alan and Eli were watching TV.

He noticed Dana watching him. "What?"

"She looks like you."

He choked on his coffee. "Right. She's Harry's."

She was shaking her head. "I met your mama and sisters last night. Riley has the same chin. I may be blond, but I ain't dumb."

He was at a loss for words. "I truly think this is the first time I've been speechless."

"Mark the record books," Harry said as he entered the kitchen and went for the coffee. At the table, he kissed Riley on the head before sitting down. His ankle wrapped around Louis'.

"Good morning. I'm Harry."

"Dana."

"Ah. Gail's sister. Lei said you just graduated high school. Have you picked which uni to go to yet?"

"University of Georgia in Athens."

"Go Dawgs!" Eli cheered when he ran into the kitchen. He kissed everyone before plopping into a chair. Alan hugged Harry and Louis and kissed Dana and Riley.

"Where's Darcy?" Harry asked.

"Right here. She decided to sleep in this morning," Tanalei said. He reached for his daughter.

"Hello, baby." She cooed up at him.

"Dana, go run Gail outta the shower and get in. Sophia and Perrie will be here in an hour."

"Right." She finished her breakfast and put the plate in the sink.

"What are your plans for today?" Louis asked.

"The girls wanna go shoppin'. Jay will be here in a bit to pick these two up." She pointed to Alan and Eli. "It seems that Phoebe and Daisy have been talkin' nonstop about them visitin'."

He playfully shot the boys a scowl. "They are your cousins, not your girlfriends."

Alan smirked at him. "Safaa's my girlfriend here."

"Don't let Zayn hear you say that," Harry said. "Where are these bits of heaven going?"

"Nowhere. They're yours for a few hours." Harry looked panicked. She kissed his lips. "Don't worry, baby. Your mama and Gemma ain't very far."

"We have a meeting this afternoon and an appointment tonight. Then we have to pack."

"I'll be back just after lunch. I have to pack for five people, Harry. The boys are goin' to Doncaster tomorrow and the babies are goin' to Holmes Chapel."

His eyes widened. "You're actually gonna leave them?"

Her eyes narrowed. "It's one night, Harry. This is the first time I'm leavin' them overnight somewhere."

"Drop it, Hazza," Louis cautioned. "Our girl will win this." He took the bottle Tanalei handed him. "Is Eleanor going with you guys?"

She grimaced. "Sophia called her. I swear, Lou, you need to break up with her. She's on my last nerve. It won't be pretty when it breaks."

He sighed. "Tanalei," he began.

"Don't throw bullshit at me, Louis. I'll play nice like I always do." She slammed a bottle in front of Harry and stormed out just as the doorbell rang.

Jay soon walked into the kitchen. "Boys, Phoebe and Daisy are in the other room with Robbie and Declan." The American boys looked at each other before getting up and putting their plates in the sink.

"You're in trouble," Eli whispered to Louis.

She waited until her adopted grandsons were gone. Turning to her son, her eyes narrowed. "What the hell did you say to Lei?"

Fan blog: "Holy ink, Directioners! There are more matching tattoos! After the birth of his daughters, Harry got his soon-to-be brother to put angels on each of his shoulders, one for Riley and one for Darcy. Recently Louis has been seen without his shirt. The SAME tattoos are on his right ribcage. On his left? A fairy tattoo that is exactly the same as Tanalei's. Though Liam, Niall and Zayn all have the same tattoo. In London, Harry and Louis treated Tanalei to a tattoo. It's an anchor on her left foot, with the kids' names. While in Copenhagen, for her 39th birthday, Tanalei got a love infinity tattoo on the inside of her left wrist. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is the same wrist that has the swallow. It has also been noticed the tattoo on the inside of her left arm. What is it, you may ask? Two teddy bears hugging. Enlarge the pic and 'Hazza' is under one and 'Boo' is under the other. Last year, while in London, a photo was taken of the back of neck. It's another infinity symbol that has a heart through it. The infinity is actually their names. Louis William, Harold Edward and Montana Rose. Directioners and Directionators have always wondered about Harry and Louis' bromance. Is this now a triangle? How long has it been going on? And what about Eleanor? It is no secret that she and Tanalei have no love for each other, unlike Tanalei with Sophia and Perrie. The three of them were seen all about London with the babies and Tanalei's sons and nieces. We are sitting on pins and needles for info."

Fan blog: "How cute are these pics, people? In Milan, some Directioners caught the 1D boys playing football with Tanalei Granger's sons, while she sat on the sidelines with her nieces, Lou and Lux. Lux was playing with the twins. Wait, what's this? She heads to the bus, parked away from the playing field. Louis points this out to Harry. A few minutes later, they follow. OMFG! The curtains are open! That's Tanalei's arm in the window! Who is that behind her? It's too dark to see. It was timed; Louis left the bus 15 minutes after that pic was taken, Harry 5 minutes later. And Tanalei? 10 minutes after that! I know it's not definite proof of a triangle, but???

*&*&*

July 2015

"Are you serious?" Harry and Louis watched Tanalei paced back and forth in front of their hotel window. They were currently in Madrid. "When?" She bit her lip. "That soon? No, I just have to adjust my schedule." She glanced over at them. They frowned. It was not sounding good. "She flies out of Porto on the fifteenth. I know this is big, Peter. I'm quite aware of that too. Look, I'll call you back later. Yes, I do. I'm not single anymore. 'Kay. Bye." She walked slowly to the be. Louis pulled her down between them. She wrapped an arm around each neck.

"What's up?" Louis asked.

"They want me in LA by the 20th. My script was accepted to be made into a movie."

"That's great, babe." Harry squeezed her waist. "Why do they want you there?"

"They want me to read the lead role. Jackson and Kellan are already signed on. They want Alan and Eli too."

"That is awesome. Wait. You'll have to cut your trip short." She nodded. "Damn. The mums were hoping to see the girls before you went back to the States."

"My family isn't the only ones they want."

"Who else?" Louis asked.

"Niall. They want him for one of the nephews."

Lou laid his head back against the wall. "Great for him, but it's sucking for us."

"I know. Now I'll have to steal another couple of shirts to take back with me."

They smiled. "We spray your perfume on a few of our shirts," Harry admitted.

Larry's Cougar Ch. 08



September 2015

"I'm gonna fuckin' kill you, Harry," Tanalei said into her phone.

"What is it?" he said worriedly.

"Can you tell me why I'm starin' at a home pregnancy test and it's showin' two pink lines?"

Silence. "Are you sure?"

She took a picture and sent it. "Does this fuckin' look like I'm sure!"

"I thought you were going back on the shot?"

"My postpartum check up is tomorrow. I was gonna get it then. I wasn't feeling well so I decided to take the test." She sighed. "I don't need this right now, Harry. The movie starts filming in June, and Archer's bein' a dick."

"What's he done now?"

"He doesn't want the boys in the movie as main characters. That will crush them. And he's takin' me back to court about custody. The damn rumors about Louis and us are what set it off. He wants a DNA test on Riley."

"Hell no! Neither of us will agree to that."

"I told him that, but he's gonna insist."

"To what purpose?"

"To make me look like a slut and therefore a bad mother. Gail and Dana refuse to talk to him. If I'm pregnant, it'll push him further."

"The boys are loved, clean, taken care of. That's all that matters."

"I know."

"Call me tomorrow after the doctor's appointment."

"I'm cuttin' off your balls and wearin' them as a necklace. They'll hang right next to Louis'." Harry looked over at his best friend, fear clearly on his face. "Y'all are never to touch me again. Y'all have super sperm, I swear to God."

"What did the doctor say?" Four pairs of eyes locked on to him.

"Fuckin' twins, Harold." He winced. His girl was definitely pissed. He met Louis' gaze and held up two fingers. His jaw dropped.

"You're fucking kidding me," Zayn muttered.

"I'm neuterin' the two of you. I'm callin' your mamas right now and tellin' them not to ever expect any more grandkids from the two of you. Six is enough."

"Six is plenty. Lei, are you okay?"

"I'm fuckin' peachy, Harold. I'm 39 years old and three months pregnant with twins and have twin six month olds, a nine year old and an eleven year old." She paused. "Madison's here. I'll call you later."

"I love you," he said to the dial tone. He sighed and fell back on to a chair.

"Twins? Again, Harry?" Liam queried.

"Lou, get your affairs in order. She's calling our mums."

"Oh fuck," he said, putting his head in his hands.

"I'm surprised she didn't threaten to take body parts," Niall said.

"Oh, she did. Our balls are going to become a necklace." He let out a deep breath. "She called me Harold." The others winced in sympathy.

"Eyes dark as night and blazing like the fires of hell," Zayn said. They nodded.

"Hello, boys," Simon said as entered the studio. He glanced around. "Who died?"

"Harry's on his deathbed," Niall commented.

"Why?"

Harry cleared his throat. "Tanalei's pregnant again. It's twins."

He nodded. "My office now." He glanced at Louis. "You too. I know you have something to do with this."

"This is gonna kill them." Zayn and Niall looked at Liam in confusion. "Pictures of Louis and Eleanor are going to be everywhere."

"Jesus," Zayn said, running a hand through his hair. "Perrie's ready to kick her ass. Not only is she touring and recording, but planning the wedding. Eleanor is pressuring her to make her a bridesmaid and not Lei."

Harry's phone chirped. Picking it up, Liam read the text from Madison. Circle the wagons. Dr office leaked info to press.

"Oh Christ," he muttered, taking off running to Simon's office. He barged in without knocking. "Sorry. Lei's doctor's office leaked the news about the twins."

Simon looked at the two in front of him. "Grab an umbrella, boys. Shit storm is coming."

Fan blog: "OMFG! A new set of twins within a year! Harry, don't you know how to wrap it? Poor Tanalei just got her pre-preggers body back. Except for her boobs. Those things are huge! Hope she'll be able to get back into shape for her new movie. She and Niall start filming in June. Yay for them!

Fan blog: There have been a bunch of pics of Elounor. He does NOT look happy. Come to think of it, Harry and Tanalei don't look quite as happy as usual. May be the rumors are true.

*&*&*

January 2016

Niall bit at his fingernails. He hated waiting. They were currently in the hospital, waiting for the new babies. They're nearly eight weeks early. The door opened, showing Harry and Louis, their faces white. Everyone stood expectantly. 

"Well?" Jay said.

"They're taking her into surgery. There was a complication," Harry said. Anne folded him into her arms.

"Who's with her?" she asked.

"Linda."

"They're cutting her open, Mum," Louis whimpered into Jay's shoulder.

Forty minutes later, Linda walked out the doors, pulling a cap off her head. Harry and Louis quickly ran up to her.

"They're fine. There was a surprise."

"Like what?" Harry asked.

"Linda, spit it out," AC Harris fussed his wife.

"Two boys and a girl."

"What?!"

"It's triplets. The doctor figured that baby C was hiding behind the others and its heartbeat was too low to catch."

"Triplets?" Louis asked. "As in three?"

She nodded. "Two boys, one girl."

He looked at Harry. "We need a bigger house."

Fan blog: "Surprise of surprises, Directioners! It wasn't twins; it was triplets! Christian Edward, Aiden William and Georgia Rose are doing fine. I can't believe they named the baby after the song! Tanalei must have been pretty high to agree to it."

Fan blog: "It's not Georgia Rose. Liam was joking when he posted that. It's Sierra Rose. Oh, Daddy Direction, you're SO funny! Louis is sporting a new tattoo going up his arm. It's the triplet' names in script writing. Is he the 'godfather' of these three too? And do you find it strange that they have the same middle names as Harry, Louis and Tanalei?"

*&*&*

April 2015

Toby glanced around at the chaos. He frowned, trying to visualize what might make a good photograph.

"Can I offer a suggestion?"

He turned to the blue-eyed brunette. "Please."

"Start with the children first. Darcy and Riley will do whatever Alan and Eli do. The babies can just lay there."

He nodded. 

"So the tour is finishing tonight?" Katie Couric asked.

"Yes," Liam answered. "It's been an exciting tour."

"With babies being born in the middle of it," she said, motioning to Harry.

"Yep." He nodded.

"What's next?"

"We are taking a hiatus until August. Niall will be in Tennessee during June and July."

"Are you excited, Niall?"

"I'm more nervous than anything. Lei's gonna be there so it'll be fun."

"Is anyone else going to be on set?"

"I am," Harry said, raising his hand. "I get to spend time with the babies while watching my lovely fiancée work."

"Speaking of your fiancée, where is she now?"

"Backstage with the babies."

"I got to meet and hold all of them," Katie bragged.

"Do you want to meet them?" Louis asked. The crowd cheered. "We'll be right back."

The guys rushed off stage. Through the mics, the audience could hear "Da! Da!" in two little voices.

"Do you want to be on the telly?" Harry asked. "Let's go. You ready?"

Soon they returned. Harry walked out carrying Riley while escorting Tanalei. They all situated themselves on the couch. The audience awed.

"Aren't they precious?" Katie cooed. "Who's who?"

"Um." Tanalei looked down the line. "Zayn has Christian, Liam has Aiden, Niall is holding Sierra, Harry has Riley and Louis has Darcy." 

"This is my princess," Niall said proudly.

"Each of you are their godfathers?" They nodded.

"Except for Riley. Peter Facinelli is her godfather," Tanalei said.

"Are they spoiled?"

"Darcy and Riley?" Harry asked to clarify.

"Absolutely," Louis said. 

"They're first birthday was last month," Liam began. "We rented out a local Chuck E. Cheese."

"They easily had 100 gifts," Zayn stated.

"Together?" Katie queried. 

"No, each," Niall said. "Our families and their girlfriends came over for the weekend. They had to ship the gifts separate."

"Eight huge boxes showed up on the doorstep," Harry continued. "Five were from the grandparents, one was from Perrie, Zayn's fiancée, and one was from Simon. After the party, we had to ship most of it back for their rooms."

"What about the last box?"

"It was for Alan and Eli."

"Now I heard that each of your mothers have rooms set up for the kids." They nodded. "Wow. I can understand Harry's mom, but all of them?"

"Even the older boys have rooms," Niall said. "And it's not just our mums. We all have rooms set up at our houses."

"Why?"

"After the band was formed, we declared ourselves to be a family," Liam said. "It's not unusual for me to find one of the other guys in the guest bedroom. Tanalei became family before she and Harry even got together."

"Our mums," Zayn motioned between he and Louis, "left South Carolina two years ago and set up rooms for Alan and Eli before even meeting them."

"Do they call your moms 'Grandma'?"

They nodded. "Or variations of it. My mum is Jay-Jay," Louis said. "Anne, Harry's mum, is Gran."

"My mum is Nana," Liam said. "Um, Trish, Zayn's mum, is Nanny. Right?" 

"Yeah."

"And my mum is Morai," Niall said, pronouncing it 'MO ree'. "Its Gaelic for 'Grandmother'."

"How do you feel about your future step-sons, Harry? Do you get along with them?"

"Absolutely. Those are two of the greatest boys out there."

"They are twelve and nine. Is there any conflicts between you and them?"

"No. Not what you would think with a stepparent. We do have friction from time to time. I am usually the first one to take away the sport or gaming equipment."

"Do they run to any of the rest of you when they get in trouble?"

"Oh yeah," Zayn said. "We just give them a swat on the bottom and send them back to Harry and Tanalei."

*&*&*

May 2016

The judge read over the paper in his hands. He set it down and looked over at Archer. "You want me to order a DNA test on two one year olds and three three-and-a-half months old infants whose father is not a US citizen?"

"That is correct, Your Honor," Archer's lawyer answered.

"For what purpose?"

"To prove the she sleeps with men other that her fiancé. She has subjected the boys to unseemly behavior the past two years. She has had five children out of wedlock. While in Europe, she has fostered the children off to other people while she went for a tryst or to party."

Tanalei's hand tightened around Harry's.

The judge turned to her. "Mrs. Cooper, may I hear your argument?"

After a nod from her lawyer and a reassuring squeeze from Harry, she stood. "Your Honor, my sons are loved, have a roof over their heads and food on the table. My ex-husband claims that I partied every night while in Europe the past two summers. I did go out several times. My fiancé's band mates have younger sisters, who are the same age as my sons, and they had several sleepovers while we were there. When I got sick the first year, Gemma Styles, Harry's sister, dropped whatever she was doin' to come watch the boys so Harry could take me to the hospital. She took them to Harry's mom for a few days so I could rest and get better."

"She became pregnant during that trip," Archer's lawyer interrupted.

The judge banged his gavel. "Do not interrupt again. Strike that statement from the record. Continue."

"I did become pregnant on that trip. When I told the boys, they were excited. The only thing that changed in our household was that we had two new babies. During our second trip, my fiancé was on tour and we joined them. Nothing unseemly happened. The most skin that was shown was at the pool in the form of a bikini. In the past two years, they have gained a new stepfather, five sisters and brothers, four uncles who act more like their older brothers and a slew of grandmothers, aunts and cousins. I never once asked anyone to take care of my children for me. A majority of the time, I was pushed out of the door." She sat down.

The judge shuffled several papers. "You are well-loved and respected, Mrs. Cooper. I see no reason to order the blood test. Since they are not the children of Mr. Cooper and child support is not in question, I see no point in it."

"But Your Honor," the lawyer began. The judge looked at him over his glasses.

"Now the question of custody and visitation of the minor children, Alan Joseph Cooper and Elijah Glenn Cooper, and the question of allowing them to be in a movie." He leaned back in his chair. "I have already spoken to them. When asked about their siblings, I heard the names Darcy, Riley, Chris, Aiden and Sierra. Those are your other children, Mrs. Cooper?" She nodded. "Nothing was said about your other children, Mr. Cooper. Sarah and Caleb?" He nodded. "Huh. I also asked about their stepparents. It was 'Harry did this' or 'Harry does this'. Again, nothing about their stepmother, who sees them more often than Mr. Styles does. They also told me about the movie that they're going to be in. You're contesting this, Mr. Cooper?"

"Yes, Your Honor."

"And you haven't told your sons yet, have you? No, you haven't. They leave in a week. Why don't you want them to be in the movie?"

"I don't want their names and pictures in the tabloids. And there won't be adequate supervision."

He frowned. "Mrs. Cooper, who will be present to care for your children when they cannot work?"

"I will be there, Your Honor," Harry said as he stood. "Along with Gail and Dana Cooper, Gemma Styles, Elle Smith and Curt and Madison Harris. Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson will also be visiting. Gail and Dana will return with Alan and Eli at the end of June so they are not flying back to Atlanta alone." He sat back down.

"Six to nine adults to care for seven children." He nodded. "The children may be in the movie if they wish too." He sat forward. "Your ex-wife has provided a safe environment for your children. Who she invites into her bedroom is nobody's business but her own. The custody stands. Beginning June 1st, the summer visitation will change; June with their mother, July with their father then switching in the following years." 

Before he banged the gavel, he leveled with a glare. "I made an observation while reviewing this case. Mr. Cooper, you left your wife and children eight years ago and moved on to a younger, blonder woman. When your ex-wife found a man, who also happened to be younger, to fall in love with, you became vindictive and greedy. Oh yes, greedy. You pay no child support, Mr. Cooper, but would expect your ex-wife to. What if she could no longer act or her books no longer sell? She wouldn't be able to pay. Over the past eight years, your children got to have experiences that most dreamed about. They've been throughout the US. They've toured the UK and several countries in Europe. I can guarantee that if their names," he pointed to Tanalei and Harry, "weren't Tanalei Granger and Harry Styles, we wouldn't be here today. Case dismissed."

"You're jokin'." Tanalei danced in place. "Who else? Really? And they want me for who? Oh my God." Louis leaned against the doorframe, watching Tanalei and smiled. He never thought he could love someone as much as he did Harry, but she was standing before him. "Production ends in July. I'll be back in Atlanta then. Oh my God, that's great! I won't have to travel. They don't think I'm too old?" He scoffed. For being almost 40, she looked nearly 10 years younger. He crossed the room to wrap his arms around her. She leaned back into his embrace. "We're drivin' to Tennessee June 1st, so I'll need it before then. No, I wrote it, so it won't interfere. I'll see you there." She hung up the phone and squealed. She turned and hugged his neck. "They want me for a part. They actually asked for me."

"What film?"

"Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. They want me to play Sissy. That's the role Cher did."

"That's great, love." He squeezed her tight.

"The best part is that they're gonna film at the Screen Gems lot here at Lakewood. So I don't have to go away on location."

He caught her lips in a passionate kiss. She moaned as their tongues tangled. Turning them, he backed her into the wall. He urgently unbuttoned and pushed at her pants.

"Lou," she said, tearing her lips away. "The door's open."

"So." He finally got her pants off. He undid his pants and freed his erection. "You are so fucking hot when you're excited." He pushed forward. "It's gonna be quick and dirty."

She bit at his lips. "Fuck me, Boo."

He smirk, pulling nearly all the way out and slamming forward. Her hips hit the wall behind her. He adjusted her legs before plunging in and out. His head lowered to her neck, biting. She shrieked. "Shh."

She bit her lips to keep some noises in. Tilting her pelvis slightly, she saw stars and her body froze. "Oh Jesus," he whispered. His body shook as he shot deep into her body.

"Honey! I'm home!" called out an Irish voice. Tanalei pushed Louis' shoulders.

"The door's open!" she hissed. He kissed her before pulling out and away. He quickly adjusted himself before going to meet his band mate.

"Nialler!"

"Louis!" They hugged. Louis caught Harry's eye over Niall's shoulder. They broke apart. "Where's the lovely and talented Mrs. Horan?" 

Harry growled behind them. "Keep up with the jokes, leprechaun. I just might have to rip your pot of gold right off your body."

"As if I can compete with you two."

"Niall!" Tanalei cried out as she ran across the room.

"There's my girl." He swung her around. When her feet touched the ground, he asked, "Now where's my princess?"

"Is everything packed?" Harry asked as he shut the back of the van.

"Yes," Tanalei said. She was loading the last of the supplies up front.

"Are you sure?"

Leaning out, she looked at him over the top of her sunglasses. "Harry?"

"The correct answer is 'yes, love'," Lou said as he rounded the front of the van.

"Yes, love?" Harry parroted.

"Get in the damn van."

" 'Yes, love' is the answer to this one too, Hazza," Niall teased. Harry shot him a dirty look.

The four of them climbed in with the babies. Alan and Eli rode in Madison's SUV with her, Dana, Gail and Elle, the part-time nanny. Curt would be joining them in July with his boys.

"How long is the trip?" Niall asked.

"Six hours non-stop," Tanalei answered.

"Jesus. What about food?"

"Look behind our seats." He did. There were three coolers. One labeled "Babies", one labeled "Tommo Styles" and a large one labeled "Leprechaun". 

"Is this mine?" He opened it. Several foot-long wrapped items were on top. Underneath those were several bottles of Coke and water. He looked up at her.

"And," she pulled out a large tote bag. A shamrock matching her tattoo was on the front. "This has chips, jerky and snack cakes in it."

He pulled her into a hug. "I love you. You sure you wanna marry these two?"

"Hey!" came from the front.

"You can't handle me, sweetie. It takes both of them to keep me satisfied," she teased. His face flamed up. She chuckled at his embarrassment.

*&*&*

June 2015

The cast and crew sat or stood around the set, eating lunch. Alan and Eli chased Darcy and Riley around the yard with Monroe, Jackson's son. Aiden and Christian were passed around. Niall shot dirty looks at people whenever they tried to take Sierra.

"My princess," he would growl. Tanalei laughed at he and Harry.

"She's my daughter, Niall."

Elizabeth plopped into the chair next to her. "How much do we need a daughter for this movie?"

"It's the whole point, Liz. What's wrong?"

She waved her hand towards the house. "She's refusing to wear the belly and do the rape scene. The first week and its hell."

Tanalei looked at her niece. "Gail?"

She shook her head. "We leave when Alan and Eli do."

"Where else are we gonna find someone who looks 16 and is willing to wear a baby bump?"




Larry's Cougar Ch. 08



"It'll come to you," Dana said.

Niall was driving back from town with Gail and Dana. He barely noticed the car on the side of the road, but he noticed the two girls a few miles later. He pulled over in front of them.

Gail glanced over at him. "What the hell, Niall?"

"There's two girls behind us. I'm gonna give them a ride."

"Don't say it," Dana warned her sister. Gail huffed.

Niall and Dana exited the vehicle and walked back to where the two girls were standing. The older one stood protectively in front of the younger girl. They stopped several feet away.

"Hi. I'm Niall and this is my friend, Dana. Can we give you a ride somewhere?"

The girls looked at each other. "Just to a phone, please."

"I have a cell phone." He pulled it out of his pocket. "No service. Damn. Okay. Hop in. The motel is another ten miles up the road. Do you need anything from the car? That is your car back there, right?"

The older girl nodded. "Thank you. I'm Delaney. This is my little sister, Dannon."

"You talk funny," the little girl said.

"Dannon, hush."

"Oh do I now." He knelt down to her level. "I'm from Ireland so everyone here sounds funny to me." Standing, he motioned to the SUV. "Right this way, ladies."

Delaney gave a small smile. Opening the back door, she froze to find another girl in the vehicle. 

"I'm Gail." She waved.

"Delaney. My little sister, Dannon." She lifted the little girl into the back seat. 

"Cool."

Niall watched as Delaney paced by the counter as she spoke on the phone. Harry came up next to him. Silently he offered some chips.

"Who's the girl?" Harry asked.

"Found her and her little sister walking down the road. I don't think she's from here."

"Eastern seaboard, Maryland maybe." Tanalei joined them, Darcy and Riley on each hip. She passed Riley off to Harry and Darcy to Niall.

"Where's my girl?" he asked.

"Sleepin'. And she's gonna stay that way. I swear she's spoiled more than these two are. When are Liam and Gemma landin'?"

"Tomorrow morning. They'll be here tomorrow afternoon."

"The bitch of England is stayin' in her hovel, right?" Niall laughed at Tanalei's description of Eleanor.

"Tanalei, that's not nice," Harry fussed.

She snorted. "As if you don't think the same thing. She's made his life hell for the past two years, which means our life has been hell. I've seen him a total of five times in five months."

"He's here now. She doesn't have to come here."

"Her ass better stay in London," she muttered.

"Dow, Da," Riley said, pointing. Harry kissed her cheek before setting her on the floor. They watched as she toddled toward the living room, curls bouncing.

"Thank God she looks like you," Niall said to Tanalei.

"Really? I think she looks like the girls," she said, head tilted to the side.

"She has Jay's chin and Louis' eyes, but everything else is you." Harry kissed the side of her neck. 

Darcy patted Niall's cheeks to get his attention. When he looked at her, she pointed. He shook his head. "Gotta talk, angel."

"Dow, Ni," she said softly. He raspberried her neck, making her giggle as he set her down. She followed her sister. They squealed when they found Alan, Eli, Dannon and Monroe.

Delaney made her way to the trio. "Thanks for letting me use your phone."

"No problem. You and your sister are more than welcome to join this mad house." Screams erupted from the other room. Delaney turned to go in there when her arm was grabbed. "They're laughin'. No one's hurt."

She could feel the older woman's gaze. "Come on. I'll show you where you can stay tonight." Looking over the counter, she grabbed a key and led her upstairs.

"How did you get a whole motel?"

"We're makin' a movie. We weren't properly introduced." Stopping before a door, she held out her hand. "Tanalei Granger."

"Delaney Rhodes." 

"Pleased to meet you." She pointed at various doors. "Niall is across the hall, along with Alan and Eli." She rolled her eyes. "They think they're too big to sleep with the babies. Next to them are Gail, Dana and Elle. The other side is Kellan, Jackson and Monroe. Harry, Louis and I are farther down. In between our rooms are Madison and the babies. Other side of you is Elizabeth. Voila! Standard ugly motel room from the sixties."

Delaney giggled. Entering the room, she took in the standard look. Bathroom to the right, connecting door to the left then two double beds with a nightstand in between. A small table and chairs sat under the only window. A dresser had a TV sitting on it. Turning back to Tanalei, she asked, "What type of movie?"

"Thriller." She eyed her critically. "How old are you?"

"Twenty-one next month."

"Come with me." Tanalei led her to Elizabeth's room. "Hey, Liz. This is Delaney Rhodes. Her car broke down so she's gonna stay here a while. Delaney, this is Elizabeth Reaser. She's the director." After the introductions, Liz gave her a funny look. 

"Delaney, wrap your arms around Lei and smile." With a curious glance, she did as told. "No. As if she's your mom." Their stances shifted slightly. "Yes. Can you read this real quick?" Liz handed her a script. "Just the highlighted words, with a Southern accent please. Just imagine you're telling your mom something important and heartbreaking."

Frowning, she glanced up at Tanalei. "Mama, I gotta tell you somethin'."

"What is it, baby?" Tanalei tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Julie and I snuck out to go to a party and some guys were there and . . ."

Tanalei stilled. "Did they touch you?" Biting her lip, Delaney nodded. "Did they hurt you?" Her eyes welled up as she nodded again. "Oh, baby." She pulled her into her embrace.

"I'm pregnant, Mama."

"Shh, baby. Just tell Mama who they were."

Silence descended in the room. "Holy shit," Elizabeth muttered. "Delaney, have you ever thought about being an actor."

She shrugged. "Who hasn't?"

"How was it, Liz?"

"I'm crying, Lei. I've got to show this to Jackson and Kellan."

"What's going on?" Delaney asked.

"The actress that is supposed to play my daughter didn't want to do a few things and quit this mornin'."

"What didn't she want to do?"

"The rape scene and wear a baby bump."

"I'll do it," Delaney said as she shrugged. "I have nowhere to go anyway."

*&*&*

September 2016

"Tanalei! Over here!" A reporter waved at them. "You look absolutely gorgeous! Who are you wearing?"

"Vera Wang." She smoothed down the black form fitting fabric.

"Where is your significant other?"

"He's around here somewhere," she said, standing on her tiptoes and looking around.

"Is this your daughter?"

Delaney blushed. "This is Delaney Rhodes. She was one of my co-stars in my new movie."

"When is it coming out?"

"October 29th. Just in time for Halloween."

"Have you heard what Taylor Swift said in a recent interview?"

Tanalei frowned. "Why would I care what she said?"

"It was about you."

"She said something about me?" she asked shocked. The reporter nodded.

"Lei, let's go," Delaney whispered in her ear.

"What did she say?"

"That you can't find anyone your own age, so you have to dip into the left-over pool and trick a younger man to stay with you. Any comments?"

"Oh hell," Delaney moaned, placing a hand to her forehead. Her best friend was about to explode. Harry and Niall chose that moment to arrive.

"Hey, love," Harry said, kissing Tanalei's cheek. Niall kissed Delaney.

"Any comment, Tanalei?" the reporter urged.

"Yeah. I found with age comes wisdom, especially on when to speak and how to keep a good man." She smiled a toothy smile. Harry frowned. He's only seen this smile a few times. "I learned eight years ago that the secret is to make him howl and be too tired to do anything else."

"Does Tanalei make you howl, Harry?"

He glanced down at his fiancée, who was looking back at him. Her eyes were so dark, nearly the color of Zayn's, and the smile was still in place. He smirked up at the reporter before turning his attention back to Tanalei. "Every single night." He kissed her lips lightly. 

They moved on down the red carpet. "What was that about?" he asked in her ear.

"Taylor Swift. It's been three years. Can't they drop it?"

"You do realized you just outted you and Lautner."

She shrugged. "She made the damn left-over comment. I ain't the only one to dip in that barrel. Hell, she should thank me if Taylor did some of the things I showed him."

"She's a prude. I doubt she let him."

Fan blog: "Bitch got served! Anyone catch Tanalei Granger's comment on the red carpet in reference to a Taylor Swift comment on her? It's no secret that three years ago, she and Chaske Spencer had a brief relationship while filming Torn Apart, but what happened eight years ago? Her divorce. She was in California for a few weeks. Which one of Taylor Swift's exes was in California eight years ago and single, and played a werewolf? If you said Taylor Lautner, then you are correct! He was asked recently if her had an affair with Tanalei and he confirmed! When asked why they kept it secret, he responded that he never kept anything a secret; nobody asked him about past relationships. When asked about Tanalei and Harry Styles' relationship, he said, 'I'm delighted for them. Harry's a great guy. I've never seen her this happy before.' Taylor Swift had no other comments about Tanalei. That's right, bitch! Crawl back into your hole and write bad break-up music, you poser!"

Larry's Cougar Ch. 09



A bit of m/m in this chapter.

July 2017

"Harry, what is the rumor of you eating lunch with Emma Watson?"

The guys looked at each other in confusion. "I ran into her last week while meeting my sister," Harry said.

"So you didn't have lunch with her?"

"No."

"Have you seen his wife?" Louis asked. "Seriously, have you seen her?"

"Of course I have."

"Really?" He pulled out his phone, scrolling to a picture and showed it to the DJ. "That's his wife. Last week." It was a photo of Tanalei posing in a bikini.

"Whoa."

"Exactly." He sat back.

"Wait. Harry, did the two of you get married already?"

"No. Date's set for February. She's already my wife in my heart; the ceremony's just a formality."

"Okay. What do you think of Emma then?"

"She's a lovely girl, but Lei is my heart," Harry said. "I can name 12 guys that would steal her away from me if they could. Four are in this room."

The DJ looked at the others. "You would really take Tanalei from Harry?"

"Absolutely."

"In a heartbeat."

"Wouldn't loose sleep."

"Harry stole her from me," Niall said.

"What?" Harry and Louis said at the same time.

"I proposed the first week she lived with us."

"Oh yeah. Cause she made that Irish dinner when you were home sick," Liam said.

"You were serious?" Zayn asked.

"No," Niall said, nodding his head 'yes'. He got stink-eyes from Harry and Louis.

"What do your girlfriends think of you guys having a thing for Tanalei?" the DJ asked.

"They'd try for themselves," Liam said.

"Imagine the typical American down-home, girl-next-door sweetness, like Debbie Reynolds or Annette Funicello, with the body of Sofia Vergara," Zayn said.

"Oh my God," the DJ said.

They nodded. "That's Tanalei Granger."

September 2017

Louis studied the floor in Simon's office.

"Papers are starting to wonder when you and Eleanor are going to get married," Simon began. Louis shuddered. "You've been dating for nearly six years now." A long pause. "Louis?"

He looked up. "I can't, Simon. I really can't."

"What are you going to do? Are you going to stay with Eleanor?"

He let out a humorless laugh, slouching in the chair and staring at the ceiling. "It's bloody awful. I can't mention Harry, Tanalei or the kids. She sneers at their pictures. I'd never hit a woman, but I'm getting pretty close to it." He sat up. "I never promised her anything."

"Louis . . ."

He held up a hand. "I understand why it was done, Simon. It's getting old."

"If you end it, you do know that you still can't let intimate pictures of you, Harry and Tanalei be taken or posted. Fans would probably support you with either one but not both."

"I understand. We know." He ran his hands over his face. "I can't stand for her to touch me. I wanna brush my teeth or gargle after kissing her. Forget about fucking her."

"When was the last time you slept with her?"

"Right before the triplets were born. On my birthday. I was drunk, as usual."

Simon's jaw dropped. "That's been nearly two years, Lou. The two of you live together. What the hell do you do?"

He lifted his head. "Visit Harry as much as possible and fly to Atlanta with him."

Gossip blog: "This was just released: Louis Tomlinson and Eleanor Calder has ended their nearly six-year relationship. When asked why, Tomlinson shrugged and said that it had been rocky for a while and it was time. Calder made no comment."

Fan blog: "Elounor shippers are in mourning. Louis has moved out of their apartment after announcing the break up. And where did he move to? Harry's house! What does this mean for Harlei? Or is Larrylei true?"

November 2017

"Oh my God," Delaney said. Tanalei met her eyes in the mirror. "I hope I make as beautiful a bride as you."

"You're glowin'," Madison said. "You didn't do that with Archer."

"Holy shit!" Niall said when he opened the door and saw Tanalei. "You are absolutely beautiful." He kissed her temple.

"How are the guys?" she asked.

"Nervous and giddy, if that's possible. You're cruel to keep all of you separate."

"Bad luck to see the brides before the wedding," Perrie said.

Delaney frowned. "I thought they switched."

"They do, but Louis' sassy enough to be a bride."

Lou made her way into the room. She took one look at Tanalei and sighed. "Oh thank God. Your hair's done." She sat in a nearby chair. "It took me over an hour to do their hair. I swear they had ants in their pants. Neither could sit still."

Harry stared at Louis standing across from him. Louis smiled and winked at him. He smiled back. The strains of Little Martha sounded from the deck, where Curt was playing. Everyone turned to see Perrie descending the steps. Delaney was next. Madison preceded Dannon, who was the flower girl, and Alan and Eli, the ring bearers. Harry felt his breath catch when he spotted Tanalei on Niall and Zayn's arms. He heard Louis do the same thing.

"Oh wow," Liam said.

She looked up and caught their eyes and smiled. The song finished by the time she reached them. Zayn kissed her forehead and took his place next to Harry between Dannon and Perrie. Niall kissed her temple before standing between Madison and Delaney behind Louis. Alan and Eli stood next to Louis and Harry.

Liam cleared his throat. "When I was asked by my best mates to unify them, I could only say yes. Seven years ago, I watched as an instant friendship bloom into one of the strongest loves I can imagine and ever hope to have. I believed that nothing could sever it. And I was right. It changed and evolved to include another. The three of them unified against the odds to forge an unbreakable union. They put fairy tales to shame. And I, and the other lads, was fortunate to watch it from conception.

"Louis, Tanalei, Harry, do you promise to love and cherish each other until the universe falls apart?" Laughter rang out from the crowd.

"Personal or actual?" Louis asked.

"Actual."

"Then yes, I do."

"I do," Tanalei and Harry said together, giggling.

Liam rolled his eyes. "Alright then. I would go on about what a ring symbolizes, but that's boring."

"Liam!" Karen admonished.

"Well, it is, Mum. I'm getting hungry, so I know Niall's starving. Go ahead and exchange the rings."

Tanalei was giggling too much to put Louis' ring on. She sobered quickly when Harry and Louis kissed after they placed their rings on the other's finger. Louis turned to her, his right hand going into his pocket. Taking her right hand, he slipped a platinum band with a heart and the infinity symbol on her ring finger. Slowly she slid his ring on the middle finger of his left hand. She raised her head to find tears in his eyes. She rose on her toes to capture his mouth. Harry wrapped them both in his embrace. Their friends and families cheered. When they broke apart, they just stared at each other, before Louis raised his gaze to Harry.

"I give you the Harris-Styles-Tomlinsons. Okay, mates, you really have to pick a name. May their love last to infinity and beyond." Everyone looked at Liam. He grinned. "I couldn't resist."

"Now we eat," Niall cheered.

"Now we have pictures," Jay corrected. He pouted. "It won't take long. At least your part."

Toby quickly took pictures of the wedding party. "Go eat, blondie. Alright, moms, dads, siblings, etc." He waited for everyone to get situated. "Whoa." 

Tanalei sat between Louis and Harry, AC and Linda behind her. Jay stood behind Louis while Anne and Robin were behind Harry. Lottie, Fizzy, Phoebe, Daisy, Declan and Robbie lined up next to their brother. Next to Harry were Gemma, Curt, Madison, Jaxon, Zeke and Dixon. In front of the trio were Aiden, Sierra and Christian. Riley and Darcy flanked them, while Alan and Eli were on each end. "Okay, parentals. Just the trio with the kids."

He ran them through several more poses; Tanalei and the moms then the dads then the kids, just the Tomlinsons, just the Styles, just the sisters. Then the guys took their turn.

"Christ, Toby," Tanalei complained. "Niall will eat all the food if you don't quit."

"There's enough to feed at least 300 people. Only 100 are here."

"You haven't seen Niall eat. That's enough pictures."

"Okay. On to cake cutting. Oh. One more with just you three."

"No. I want my comfy dress." She pushed him up the steps. She eyed Niall's nearly full plate. "That better be number two instead of number three." He nodded.

"This feels weird," Louis said with both of his hands on the knife to show his rings.

"Very," Harry agreed. His arms were around Louis. His left, ring-less hand was under Louis' wrist while he showed off his ring on his right hand. Tanalei was in front of Louis. Both her hands were on top of theirs.

"Wait until February. We'll have to do it left-handed," she said. They finally got the cake cut and a slice on the plate. 

"Cake in the face is for birthdays only, boys," Anne warned. "Not weddings."

"Dammit," Louis muttered. He picked up two pieces as Harry and Tanalei each got a smaller piece. At the same time, they fed each other. He moaned when his partners sucked icing off his fingers. He swallowed the cake in his mouth. "You two are evil."

Tanalei pecked his mouth. "I'll be right back."

Harry took Louis in his arms and kissed him. "Mr. Tommo-Styles," he whispered.

Louis shook his head. "I think it should be Styles-Tommo."

"Or we could just go by Granger. Lei would love that."

"We're keeping our own last names," Tanalei said as she rejoined them. "After February, I'll officially be Montana Styles, unless I'm working. Among our close friends and family, we'll be the Styles-Tomlinson family until it's safe to come out."

"And how much longer is that, Lei?" Louis asked.

She sighed. "Until there's no chance of Archer taking the boys. If he does, you'll never see them."

Harry stepped in. "Enough dreary. Let's party."

Harry stared down his spouses in the bed. His eyes followed the lines of Louis' back down to his ass. Tanalei's leg was thrown over his hip. He slipped in behind Louis and began to kiss along his shoulder and neck. The shorter man moaned.

Louis turned his head and cracked open his eyes. "What're you doing, Hazza?"

"Loving you," he answered. His hands trailed down his husband's sides. When he got to his ass, he cupped and massaged the globes.

"We're gonna wake up Lei," he groaned as Harry's fingers entered him. He was still stretched from earlier.

"We won't if you're quiet." Harry slicked up his dick with lube then pushed inside Louis.

"The two of you don't know how to be quiet," Tanalei said. She opened her eyes to see green orbs staring back at her. Louis' eyes were closed, his bottom lip between his teeth. 

She kissed her way down his chest. When she reached his nipples, she sucked and bit at them. He moaned. She felt fingers tighten in her hair. She continued to descend his torso. When she reached his groin, she bit her lip. Harry had wrapped his hand around Louis' dick and was slowly stroking it.

Her tongue licked around the head on the next down stroke. Following the rhythm of Harry's hand, she began to engulf her new husband's cock. Her lips hit a hand before the head hit the back of her throat. She whined, causing Louis to moan. She quickly removed the appendage blocking her way.

"Look at her, Lou," Harry said. Louis moved his head until he was peering down at Tanalei. He gasped at the duel sensations of Harry hitting his prostate with every stroke and Tanalei swallowing his cock.

He shook his head. "I can't hold back."

"Then don't." Harry pulled Louis' leg back, opening him up further. Thrusting faster into his husband, he felt a small hand on his balls, massaging and squeezing them. "Oh fuck."

Louis was being overloaded with sensations: a mouth on his dick, a cock up his ass, a hand gently squeezing his balls and teeth on his shoulder. He cried out as he shot into his wife's mouth. Harry groaned behind him, filling his ass with cum. He lay there, panting, as she delicately licked his dick clean. She crawled up the bed to lay beside them.

"I feel left out," she pouted. "Y'all got off; I didn't." Two hands were immediately on her pussy. Harry rubbed at her clit while Louis thrust two fingers inside. She felt two more fingers ease into her ass. "Oh, Jesus."

"Just Hazza and Lou," Louis muttered as he sucked a nipple into his mouth. He crooked his fingers, finding that little spot that drove her wild. They soon had her crying out with her orgasm. 

She lazily opened her eyes to find her men watching her. Arms gathered her close to Louis' body. She grinned. "At least I'm not sleepin' in the wet spot tonight."
