Rufus slowly opened his eyes, glancing down at the figure curled up next to him. Lily was quietly sleeping, her hair in a messy loose bun strands of hair framing her delicate face. Her back was resting against his chest, one arm underneath her neck which lily had her head rested on, and the other arm securely around her waist bringing her body close to his. Rufus smiled contently kissing the top of her head breathing her perfume in, he felt so blissfully and effortlessly happy at this moment in time. Lily stirred as she felt Rufus sucking on her neck tenderly, she groaned as she woke up quickly and turned her body so that she could look into his eyes. They broke into matching smiles as soon as their eyes locked...

Rufus – " Good morning beautiful"

Lily – " Ummm... " she groaned, rubbing the loose strands of hair from her eyes "Hey...wh"
she smiled, unable to converse a full sentence before Rufus kissed her passionately. He slowly brought his hand that was resting on her waist up her side, letting it slide across her exposed arm and shoulder before cupping her cheek in his hand, rubbing his thumb against the skin gently

Lily – " Rufus " she purred in the usual tone that drove him wild "What time is it?"

Rufus – " I don't care" He said, shutting her up by kissing her passionately, she tried to wrestle his hands away from her but once his lips were on hers it was an argument she could not win. Lily wrapped her arms around his neck, falling on her back bringing his body over hers with force. This continued for a few more minutes until she pressed her hands against his chest pushing him away from her

Lily – " What time is it?" she repeated, this time with her standard LILY glare that he knew better than try and fight with, as he had come to blows against it various times in the past and had learnt that it was a battle he could not win..."Ruuuuuuufus"

Rufus – " URGHHHHH" Rufus groaned in over dramatic fashion, Lily giggled quietly massaging her hands on his lower back as he reached over to his side of the bed to grab his phone

Rufus – " Ummm Lil? You do realise that on your bedside table is a device you can tell the time from" he said looking over at the table next to her which her phone was laid upon " You couldn't have looked yourself rather than ordering me to move from the incredibly comfy position I was in...You know... if you where that desperate to know the time"

Lily – " I was well aware of that, but that would mean I wouldn't be able to get a sneaky look at your ass" she said smirking at him, snaking her hands under the covers letting them rest on his rear "Orrrrr...get to do this" she whispered grabbing his ass hastily before laughing, a laugh that was so infectious that it wasn't long before the two of them were giggling like teenagers again

Rufus – " That's it" he growled, throwing his phone down with more force than intended, he grabbed her in his arms, rolling them over so that she was on top, their legs wrapped together as one. In an instant their lips found each other with force, and it didn't take long for things to get heated...

Lily – " You never did tell me what time it was Humphrey"...

They had been doing this for roughly 2 weeks now, and although 2 weeks doesn't sound like a long time, they had been finding ways to meet up almost every day, on a regular occurrence more than once a day. They would find a gap in their day and get together up at some random hotel, or if they knew their kids would be out they would dash to Lily's apartment and use up an hour or two there. They had even...sadly...almost... slept together at the gallery a few days ago until Vanessa had walked In to drop something of for Rufus. Even though they had never discussed it, they never allowed themselves to be alone In the loft, like an untold rule the loft was off limits, being In the home Rufus shared with his family...with his wife, estranged or not... made the whole thing become so real, made every bad thing they were doing rise up to the surface, unable to be ignore anymore . They were having an affair...

An affair

It all started the night Lily convinced Rufus to attend an upper east side party with her, for his 'Benefit' of Corse
