Chapter 1

Flooing into the flat after a week out on assignment James Potter could smell garlic cooking in the kitchen and he sighed dreamily as he thought about a proper home cooked meal; something which made his mouth water after eating tinned rations for seven days. After the High Lord had tried to take over the Ministry the previous month the aurors had captured many of his followers and managed to get information about the whereabouts of the others. In return for their freedom the Malfoys had squealed on every single one of them; and so the department had been swamped with assignments to capture some dark wizards who had evaded the aurors for almost twenty five years. James and his team had just come back from capturing a small group who had fled back to Russia; but Draco Malfoy's description of their whereabouts had been spot on and after a few days watching them they had successfully brought them back to the bowels of Azkaban.

He was glad to be back and as always had missed Holly terribly, even though this had only been his first mission since they got back together. Sliding stealthily towards the kitchen doorway James opened it and smiled to himself as he saw the pretty young witch dancing around the room singing softly to herself without even noticing that he had made an appearance. She was crooning a remake of an old Celestina Warbeck song, which James recognised from his Grandmother's extensive collection, and hovering her wand over a large flat pan full of onions and garlic. Her hair was falling softly down her back and bounced as she moved around the room dropping various spices into her dish; she wore a short flimsy dress with nothing on her legs or feet and it clung to her body deliciously showing every curve from her thin waist to her ample chest. On tiptoes James slunk forwards and as he reached out to grab her he joined in the duet chorus to the song and took her hands so he could sway her around in a romantic dance. His sudden appearance made her jump at first but then she grinned at him and chuckled as he swung her around the room in his arms for a few moments before finishing by draping her over one arm and then leaning down to kiss her deeply on the lips.

Standing her back up his hands wandered up the sides of her waist and along the curves of her body lifting the dress slightly as he did so and her hands wound around him sliding up to his neck which she clung onto as he continued to kiss her passionately. Pulling apart for only a second James gazed into her eyes and then lifted her up in his arms as he pushed her back towards the kitchen table and dropped her bottom onto it, she gasped a little as the cold metal edges caught her bare legs but he cut of the gasp with another kiss. "James," she mumbled when he gave her a second, "the dinner!" she went on giggling as they both began to catch a smouldering odour coming from the pan. Without taking his lips from hers he casually flicked his wand and the fire beneath the pan was dowsed then he dropped the wand on the table beside them concentrating on his kiss again.

Holly's hands flew around his back and she pulled him against her as his hands slid to her thighs and started to creep up the inside of the bottom of the dress. She gasped at his touch and breathed out deeply as they reached higher and higher until he stopped and moved his head from hers to look at her curiously, "Are you naked under there?" he asked and she smiled back coyly biting down on her bottom lip.

"I might be," she replied with an impish smile leaning back to kiss him as her hands wound to the front of his chest. James slid his hands up the rest of her body realising that she was completely bare beneath the dress and he felt his arousal grow immediately stronger. Reaching up to the knot of the garment which fastened at the nape of her neck James fiddled with it as he returned another furious kiss and when it was unfastened he let the shimmering material fall away from her body to reveal her exquisite and soft, bare skin. His hands slid back down her body one cupping one of her breasts gently while the other dropped into the back of her dress to touch her bare bottom and move her closer to him.

"You are so gorgeous Holly," he whispered in her ear as he moved his lips to touch her white shoulders. She shivered with a mixture of desire and the coolness of the room and James, realising this, wrapped his arms around her completely and lifted her up. As her feet fell to the floor the rest of the shimmering orange dress fell down her legs to land in a small pile at her feet making her completely naked and he pulled his head away from hers to eye her hungrily. In one swift motion he lifted her in his arms and grabbed hold of his wand before carrying her through to the living room where he laid her carefully on the rug before the fire and used his wand to ignite it. A warming glow sprang from the flames immediately and James knelt down between her knees to cover her body and provide more heat. His hands explored it as she slowly unfastened and removed the shirt he wore, all the time kissing him furiously and moaning deeply at his intimate touches, she grazed her hands along his bare, muscular chest and heard him echo her moan.

Within seconds she had unfastened his trousers and he knelt up briefly to take them off before repositioning himself in the same place and pushing himself swiftly and deeply inside her as they both gasped loudly. They stopped intermittently to roll over and change positions and James took his time to slowly please Holly in other ways using his fingers, his mouth and his wand before finally taking her again and this time releasing his own pleasure within her with one deep cry of her name. They froze as they were, breathing hard and looking at one another deeply then James leaned down to kiss her again softly and longingly. Resting his weight on his knees and his elbows, he refused to move away from her, they were one and that was how he wanted to remain for a while longer. "I love you Holly Weston," he whispered pulling his head back and smoothing her hair away from her face, "and I love coming home to you like this!" he chuckled making her smile.

"Well we were supposed to eat before dessert," she chuckled back at him, "I thought you'd have missed some home cooked food!"

"Well I have, but I missed you more!" he replied smiling cheekily.

"And the sex!" she laughed back at him smiling too.

"That's all part of your package!" he chuckled leaning in to kiss her again before she could respond, "And anyway, we can always have more dessert later!"

"Chocolate cake and whipped cream is all you're getting after dinner," she teased and he pouted at her before wiggling his eyebrows.

"Whipped cream? Now that's sexy! Will it be served on your body?" he laughed leaning down to kiss her neck ferociously, making her giggle as she tried to push him away.

"On a plate," she said adamantly but winking slyly at him as he moved his body from above hers and dropped to the carpet beside her, "you're insatiable James Sirius Potter," she continued, "sometimes I think the only thing you want from me is sex!"

"And you weren't vying for that yourself tonight?" he teased sliding a hand onto her waist and turning the naked girl to face him.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she barked back as she turned.

"Dancing provocatively around the kitchen in a slinky dress with nothing underneath it, like you weren't trying to get yourself some!" he chuckled patting her bottom gently with his hand.

"Well...I...I just knew...knew that you..."

"That I'd still do you if you were wearing a bin bag and my grandmother's house slippers! You wanted to feel sexy Holly Weston and you wanted to get some from James Sirius Potter didn't you?" he goaded and she play slapped his chest.

"I...I don't know what you mean," Holly replied turning pink as he laughed at her and then leaned towards her face so he could kiss her nose.

"And I'm not complaining," he went on as his head pulled away, "but I would still have had you in a bin bag and my Grandmother's house slippers! I was ready for some of you tonight, and I'm hoping to get a little bit more later!" James cackled as she sat up and moved away from him pretending to look indignant.

"I told you that's all you wanted me for," she threw back in a soft tone standing up and striding across the room bare naked as James sat up and ruffled his hair.

"It's not my fault you're so gorgeous!" he sent back and she turned to smile coyly at him.

"Thank you," she replied shyly. "Now can I get on with the meal I thought you wanted from me?" she returned softly.

"You'd better put some clothes back on first if you don't want more of James in you!" he chuckled and she picked up a cushion from the sofa which she launched at him playfully. It hit him in the chest and he fell backwards laughing completely unaware that she was slinking back towards him slowly and he groaned when she dropped her body weight on top of him. "See I told you that you wanted me for sex too!" he laughed wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close to his body, he rolled her over onto her back and positioned himself between her legs wiggling his eyebrows at her and chuckling, "Ready for round two?"

She could feel his desire growing again and she looked back at him in disbelief, "You really are insatiable James!" she laughed smiling coyly as he kissed her neck and shoulders again and then she added, "maybe after dinner!" before pushing him gently away and rising to continue making their meal.

In the kitchen she located her discarded dress and slid it back up her body fastening the strings at her neck again then she turned back to the food she'd been preparing, relighting the stove and placing her pan back above the flames. On the worktop beside it were the rest of the vegetables and meat she had cut up earlier and one by one she added them to the dish turning them with a wooden spatula and humming a tune to herself again. After a few moments James joined her in the kitchen and jumped onto the worktop to sit beside where she was cooking, he had pulled his trousers back on but was shirtless and bare- footed and she turned to gaze at his masculine chest.

"I don't really just want you for sex Holly you know," he said sincerely watching as she stirred the ingredients in the pan.

"I know that," she replied stopping and looking at him with a concerned face, "I don't really think that James, I was teasing," she continued dropping the spatula and taking his hands in hers.

"I know you were, it's just that I made lots of mistakes with us in the beginning and I really want to be honest with you now, I mean the sex is good!" he added looking up at her with a cheeky grin, "but I want so much more from you."

"I know," she replied, "I didn't think you'd asked me to move in so I could be a sex slave!"

"Oh, that's actually something I never thought about before!" James said wiggling his eyebrows at her, "Why didn't I think of that?" he added and she playfully slapped him on the chest again as he pulled her close to him. She wrapped her arms around his bare back and rested his chin on her head, "I love you," he whispered kissing the top of it and she sighed before repeating the words back to him. "Do you need any help?" he asked as she returned to her meal before it started to burn but she shook her head in reply, "I'll just watch you then," he finished as she added more ingredients to the dish.

Half an hour later they had eaten and Holly used her wand to set the dishes cleaning themselves in the sink while they settled down to a cosy chat in front of the fire. Following his father's lead he had decided to share some of the information from their mission with the girl curled up in his arms on the rug with her back and head against his chest. She listened quietly feeling privileged to be hearing the information and she knew he trusted her completely. When he had finished describing their capture of the dark wizards who had killed some of their aurors she turned to kiss him; she had been worried about him for the last seven days but was immensely proud of James and what he did, even more so after finding out what he had sacrificed for the wizarding world.

They had told everyone that Zelda had used a potent elixir to entrance James into sleeping with her and with his friend's evidence from the potion's department the story had been swallowed by all. It was in fact the truth but she had known he did not want anyone else to know the true reason why the evil witch had wanted to sleep with James and so they had fabricated a little white lie to say she was just in love with him. No one, other than his father, knew what had happened in the Minister's room when the High Lord and his accomplice were killed and there were only a small number who even knew that the accomplice had been Zelda. The fact that she had been carrying James' child was, and always would be, a secret. Most people were just pleased to see them back together eventually as they had all seen at least how much Holly loved him when she had stayed by his bedside when he was unconscious. The family knew she was a worthy girl who would not hurt him the way Annemarie had done and they just hoped he would not do the same thing to her; they all loved James but it was difficult to forget about his past ways and they all hoped that he had put them far behind him.

"I've taken tomorrow off," she whispered after they had sat in silence for a few long minutes just listening to each other breathing, "|I thought I would when I heard you were coming back, I suppose you're off for a bit longer though!" she sighed stroking his arms.

"Only until Monday," he answered stroking her waist and kissing the side of her face, "but if you're off tomorrow then we can spend the day together!"

"Funnily enough that was my intention!" she chuckled, "Well at least until tea time," she finished knowing he would be attending the weekly Weasley gathering at the Burrow.

"Come with me," he whispered nonchalantly kissing the side of her face again.

"What?" she asked sitting up and turning to look at him, he had never asked her to join the family feast before and she was shocked, "Are you serious?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" he returned sitting up a little too.

"Well I thought...I thought it was just a...a family thing."

"It is," he smiled, "but you're part of it now."

"I'm part of the family?" she asked a little awestruck.

"Well, we're living together aren't we? And I seriously love you! My Grandmother adores seeing people in love and she especially enjoys feeding them!" he chuckled, "You know most of the family anyway so just come with me," he finished laying back down on the cushions and beckoning for her to join him.

"O…Okay," she answered nervously realising it would be the first time she had actually done something with his family since they had been a couple, other than when she was sat in vigil at his bedside.

"Come and lay with me," he whispered tugging gently on her arm.

"I think it's time for dessert," she said standing up instead and heading into the kitchen again.

"Is it homemade?" he called as she disappeared through the door and pictured a large wedge of chocolate cake dripping in whipped cream.

"Sort of," she called back through the door as he settled down to await his cake.

A few minutes later he heard the door swing open and he said, "I'm ready for this," as his mouth watered at the thought.

"I bet you are," she whispered from the doorway of the kitchen, "how would you like your cream?"

"However it com... oh," he stopped as he turned to look at the kitchen doorway and instead of seeing Holly carrying two plates piled high with cake he saw Holly stood completely naked between the frame with her finger placed provocatively in her mouth and two large squirts of whipped cream sitting pertly on the edge of each breast. "Like...like that," he stuttered kneeling up on the rug and drinking her in.

"Well you'd better come and get it then," she whispered turning her body to the side and revealing another large dollop which she had squirted just above her bottom and as he leaped over the back of the sofa she ran in the direction of the bedroom doorway where he caught up with her when she was fiddling with the closed doorknob and made her scream.

"You cheeky girl," he growled in her ear as he grabbed her arm and turned her to face him, with an eager look he dropped to his knees and leaned his face up to gently lick the end of her nipple where the cream was melting rapidly. She moaned at the sensation as he moved from one to the other licking all around it before sucking on the end and pulling it gently with his teeth. A second later he turned her around slowly and sensuously licked the dollop from the bottom of her back sliding his tongue up and down until it was all gone before turning her back to face him again, "Is there any more?" he chuckled licking his lips.

"In there," she replied demurely looking down at him with seductive eyes and nodding at the kitchen, then he turned away from her bouncing to his feet as he ran to the doorway. He reappeared seconds later holding a small bag of cream straight from the fridge with a squirting teat still on the end of it.

"Come here you," he growled and she squealed as he headed straight for her forcing her to turn and run into the bedroom where she sprang to the other side of the bed just as he reached the doorway. "I want more!" he said raising his eyebrows at her and dashing into the room trying to cut her off; she was giggling furiously and as she jumped about the room her breasts jiggled up and down making James increasingly horny. After a few moments of evading capture she tried to run past the bed and back out of the room but he caught her arm and dragged her onto it where she fell, out of breath, and he managed to pinion her beneath him. His bottom straddled her thighs and though she tried to thrash wildly as she squealed he caught one of her arms and held it down on the bed eventually forcing her to stop moving as she looked back up at him. "If you didn't want to play," he chided, "then you shouldn't have started it!" She stopped moving then and looked up at him as he grinned cheekily and held the bag of cream over her body, with a light squeeze he pushed some of it out of the bag and it fell in a soft dollop near her belly button making Holly squeal and squirm again.

"James it's cold," she gasped when it made contact with her skin and he grinned slyly at her again before holding her shoulders down with the weight of one arm so he could squeeze more of the bag's contents onto her body as she continued to squeal and squirm. "James, no...no...please...please stop it," she giggled.

Eventually, when the contents of the bag were almost gone, he stopped and looked at her wildly with another hungry look before slowly lowering his head to her chest and beginning to slide his tongue along her body gently licking and sucking the cream from her body. She relented to his touch immediately enjoying the feel of it all over her body and she groaned softly as he sucked it from her waist, her breasts, her bellybutton and then began to slide further and further down her body until it was all gone giving her ultimate pleasure along the way.

"Now that's a dessert!" he said when he had licked her body clean and was still positioned above her looking down, there was only a small amount of cream left in the bag and he noticed this eying it mischievously.

"What?" she asked when she noticed his eyes looking from the bag to her and back again and then slowly he moved from above the now sticky but excited girl and removed the little clothing he was still wearing. He was completely aroused and with a wicked smile he laid down on the bed and emptied the contents of the bag onto the end of his throbbing penis and then looked up at his partner. "What do you expect me to do with that?" she teased sitting up.

"Whatever you want to my darling!" he replied grinning widely as she leaned across to kiss him and then slowly began to move down his body to clean up the mess he had made.

He stopped her before it was too late so he could finish off inside of her and she brought her body back up to sit on top of his and together they moved as one until they had cried out and stopped moving, she astride him and he laid back on the bed holding onto her hips. "Merlin I love coming home to you!" he whispered finally as she moved her body to lay beside him and they curled up holding one another drifting into a peaceful sleep which neither of them stirred from until the sun was high in the winter sky the following morning.
