Prompt 008 - Shackles
She'd told him to lie down and to be quiet. So he had.
She'd told him to close his eyes and relax. So he had.
She'd told him to wait and be still – she'd be back as quickly as she could. So he had.
But now he'd been waiting here for what seemed like forever – in reality 10 minutes – but he was starting to get worried. Had something bad happened to her? Had she been captured? He hadn't heard anything or sensed any movement. Something was wrong, James knew it, and he started to sit up. "Lily?" he called out, "Lily, where are you?"
"James!" came her strangled reply, "James, lay back down. I told you not to move!"
"I know," he whined, "but that was ages ago and I'm bored now. Do we have to do this?" He struggled against the rope that held his wrists to the bedposts.
"James!" he heard her stomping around the room. "You said that Sirius suggested that our sex life was…well…boring!"
"Well actually Lils he said that you were too much of a prude to do anything more then just lie there and –"
"I remember what he said thankyou James." Lily interrupted coolly. He couldn't be sure, but he thought that she was moving closer, judging by the sound of her voice. "I'm insulted that Sirius would even suggest such a thing."
"Oh come on Lils," James moaned, "you know he just says that stuff to rile you up. Sirius knows full well what our sex…life…is…what? What I was I saying?" James broke off and tried to look innocent. He was finding it rather hard when he was blindfolded and shackled to a double bed.
There was silence – a very scary silence – but then he heard rustling. Sounded like Lily was moving towards the bed. "James," she whispered. He felt the bed depress as she climbed on and straddled him. "James, you weren't going to say that Sirius knows exactly what our sex life is like were you?" she ran a fingernail slowly down his chest.
James swallowed. "Well. Um. You see, I was going to say that, but I'm not sure you understand exactly what I mean by it."
"And what," Lily purred, kissing his tummy, "exactly do you mean by it?"
"Um, well you see Lily, dearest, I can't tell you exactly what I mean by it, but I can tell you what I don't mean by it. And I can tell you that Sirius and I do not meet up every week and go into explicit detail about the sex we have because that would just be wrong-" he squeaked when Lily ran her tongue over his nipple.
"I see," she murmured against his neck, "so what you're saying is that Sirius knows exactly what we do in the bedroom ever since we've gotten married?"
"Er –" James gasped and arched his back when Lily did something with her tongue. Damn her, it was so hard to think straight when she was doing stuff like that, "Uh, yeah I guess you could say since we got married, but it would also be fair to say –Merlin Lily! – that it's been ever since the first time we shagged –"
"Ah." Lily's voice was low, seductive – Merlin it was turning him on. When did she ever talk like this? Who had taught her how to do that! "Well James darling," she must've gotten off the bed – her warm weight was gone from his chest – " I'm afraid that I simply must dash."
"Wha-? Lils!" James protested, trying to sit up. She really had made the knots tight. "Lily, where are you going?"
"Well I'm afraid I simply can't tell you where I'm going." James really wanted to know how she managed to sound frosty yet sugary sweet at the same time. Must be a female thing. "But I can definitely tell you where I'm not going to be."
James hesitated. Should he risk it? He wasn't entirely sure what was going on…but he was pretty sure that Lily was angry that he and Sirius had their little sex meetings. Well! They'd been a tradition since they were boys at Hogwarts together. She didn't really expect them to stop it, did she? Besides, what she didn't know couldn't hurt her. Except now she did know and from the sounds of it, it was going to hurt him more than it had hurt her. "And where is that going to be my darling Lily?" He tried to sound charming but James had the sinking feeling it had sounded desperate.
"Here with you!" she shrieked.
"Owe!" James shouted as something hard hit is stomach and then all he could hear was the sound of the door slamming and Lily marching off, muttering to herself. "Lily! Lily! Come back! Can you at least untie me before you go! Or give me my wand! At least put my pants back on me! LILY!" he roared, tugging at his bonds. "dammit woman! Since when have you been so strong!" James fell back from his half raised position, breathing heavily. He couldn't even look to see what time it was. Merlin knew how long he'd be stuck here for. Probably until Lily decided he'd suffered enough. Then she'd come back to laugh at him with all her female friends. Mary and the other girls. "Lily!" he tried one more time, holding the last syllable for as long as he could.
He wasn't sure how much time had passed. It seemed like he'd been lying there for days. He was hungry, thirsty, his muscles were starting to cramp up and to top it all off he really really had to piss.
Hope came to him the familiar pop that signalled someone had apparated in. "Lily?" he said eagerly. She'd come back to him!
His hope was cut away cruelly from him when he heard the snigger. "Well, well, well. Looks like Mrs Potter was right when she said it'd be worth my time to stop by her bedroom."
"Padfoot." James hissed, "Padfoot, shut your mouth."
"Oh no Prongs," James could almost see the smirk that would be on his friends face. "You're the one whose blindfolded and tied naked to the bed. I don't think you should be telling me what to do."
"Padfoot," James pleaded, "doesn't our years of friendship mean anything to you? What about the brotherhood? Our bonds of love? We should be looking out for each other, you know, not laughing at the others misfortunes and the like. Don't you agree?"
Sirius' sniggers turned into outright laughter. "I wish I could help you mate, I really do. But this – this is priceless. Your wife really is one amazing bird."
"Does this mean you're not going to untie me?" James said sulkily. If his hands had been free, he would've crossed them.
"You have no chance of me untying you anytime soon. I think I might go get the other lads."
"SIRIUS!"
