Chapter 1

"You got a thing about you

I just can't live without you

I really want you Elenore near me..."

Elenore Eaton let out a content sigh as she rolled off the handsome Gryffindor underneath her and rested her head back against the cool, plush, pillow. She stared up at the ceiling of the hotel room before briefly closing her eyes, clearing her mind from the passion that had filled it only a few moments before. With her eyes closed, she felt warm hands slide over her hips before a wonderfully familiar weight was on top of her. Soft lips pressed to her neck, and she couldn't help but tilt her head back, giving him more access to her sensitive skin. "We're going to be late." She whispered softly as she felt him settle between her legs, his right hand sliding over her hip and down her thigh before he pulled her leg over his hip.

"We're already late, darling." Sirius Black replied as he trailed soft kisses down her chest, "There's no need to rush now."

Elenore laughed, and he smirked into her neck as he tilted his head and captured her lips with his own. Their kiss was deep, and Elenore couldn't help but sigh into his embrace as he wrapped his strong arms around her and held her close. "I love mornings like these." She confessed softly as he pulled back and rolled off her, opting to prop himself up on his elbow next to her instead. He ran his hand down her arm and settled it to rest on her flat stomach, his fingers drawing soft designs across it.

Sirius dipped his head and pressed a soft kiss to her shoulder, nuzzling it afterward, "As do I." He agreed, his voice thick with desire and with sleep.

Elenore craned her head to the side and lifted the top half of herself off the bed to take a look at the alarm clock on the bedside table. Groaning, she felt Sirius pull her back down onto the bed and capture her lips with his once more, "Don't think about it." He warned her as he slid his hand from her stomach to her hip, pulling her against him, "Stay here."

"I wish I could." She ran her hand up his strong back and settled it at the base of his neck, playing with the shaggy black strands, "I wish we both could."

"Mmm." Sirius agreed as he placed a soft kiss on her forehead before he pulled away from her and sat up, stretching his tall frame. The early morning sun was filtering in through the sheer curtains, and he couldn't help but turn his grey eyes to look at the beautiful brunette lying before him. Her dark hair was fanned out on the pillow, her blue eyes watching him longingly as she stretched her long legs under the thin sheets.

"You have to get back to the Potter's before James notices." She reminded him gently as he swung his legs over the side of the bed, his feet resting flat on the cool, wood floor.

"And you have to get home before your mother notices." He replied, running his hands through his thick hair as he tried to order himself to stand. He knew as soon as he did that their time would nearly be over. Swearing, Sirius pushed himself off the bed and grabbed his shorts, pulling them on as he did so.

Elenore rolled her eyes at the mention of her mother before she too climbed out of bed. She reached for her undergarments, pulling them on as Sirius looked for his clothes. "Not going to shower?" Sirius asked as he sat down on the overstuffed chair to pull his pants on.

"No." Elenore replied as she found her dress and slipped it over her head, adjusting the belt on it before she turned and looked at the handsome boy in the chair, "I'd rather smell of sex." Sirius laughed and, stood up, zipping and buttoning his pants as he did before walking over to her. He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and held her against him, not taking these last few moments together for granted. He wouldn't be able to do this again anytime soon, not with students and professors moving about and when they were able to get some alone time, it certainly wouldn't be for this long. "Don't think that." She whispered softly, running her hands down his bare chest, liking the way his muscles rippled when she did so, "It's not as if we live on different continents, just in different houses."

"How is it that you always know what I'm thinking?" He asked, pressing his forehead to hers as she rested her hands on his hips.

"Because I know you." She answered back, and Sirius connected their lips, holding her tightly.

"Your mother will be furious." He stated softly, and she shrugged.

"One year." She told him honestly, "One more year is all that I have left to put up with them."

"Let's hope it flies by, yeah?" Sirius grinned as they pulled away and he found his black t-shirt, slipping it over his head before grabbing his shoes. Elenore was busy sliding her feet back, into her shoes and furiously finger combing her hair as Sirius searched for his socks.

"You know." Sirius sighed as he pulled his socks on and then went about putting on and tying his shoes, "If this had happened four years ago, our parents would be thrilled."

"Mmm." Elenore agreed as she glanced at herself in the mirror, her lips were swollen, her hair was flat, and she had a rather suspicious looking mark on her neck, "They would have been, wouldn't they?"

"Indeed." Sirius sighed as he leaned back in the chair and allowed his eyes to rake over her, "I mean, not the sex stuff, but definitely the interested in each other part."

"We would have been betrothed by sixth year and married right after graduation." Elenore agreed as she slid her earrings back in and turned to look at him, smiling at his disheveled appearance, "Making pureblood babies the year after that."

Sirius scoffed and pushed himself into a standing position, "Please, I would have had to get you pregnant at least a few months after we were married."

She laughed, and Sirius slid his hands around her hips once more, both knowing this would be the last time they touched for a while, "It'll be ok." Sirius told her honestly as he pressed his forehead to hers again, the mood turning from humorous to serious, "We'll get through this year as best we can, and then after graduation, it's just you and me."

"Promise?" She asked softly, and he nodded, brushing the hair off her shoulders as he did so.

"Promise." Sirius connected their lips for a final time, putting everything he felt for her into it. He hadn't told her he loved her yet and probably wouldn't for a while longer, not until he figured out how all this would play out for the next year. Sure they had started their little arrangement as a tension tamer and as a way to rebel against her parents, but over the summer it had definitely turned into something more. Something that Sirius didn't want to label just yet. It was theirs, and it was special, and that was good enough for him.

Parting, Elenore took a step back from Sirius, and he could see a few unshed tears in her eyes. Lifting his hand up, he cupped her cheek and gave her a soft smile, "It'll be ok." He promised again, and she nodded, heaving a heavy sigh.

"It'll will." She agreed before turning towards the dresser where her watch and the rest of her jewelry sat. Sirius watched as she clipped her watch back onto her left wrist, shaking it, so it fell into place. He couldn't help but feel a wave of jealousy wash over him as he watched her pick up the large emerald ring and slide it onto the ring finger on her left hand. The ring was huge, clearly a family ring that was meant to be passed down to each generation. The band itself was silver and in the middle sat a giant emerald stone, flanked by two smaller diamonds on either side.

Sirius hated that ring almost as much as Elenore did and he was mentally counting down the days until he could take that ring off her finger and throw it as far as he possibly could. But first, he had to get through seventh year.

Disclaimer: Elenore is all that is mine, the rest is not.

Should I continue? Or leave it as a one shot?
