Explanations
After Dorcas arrived in her flat, she took a very long shower.When she walked out of the shower, wearing only a towel, she saw James' head in the flames of her fireplace.
Her grinned sheepishly at her.
"Well, don't you look sexy today."
Dorcas rolled her eyes, but smiled nontheless.
"Don't let Lily hear you!"
"Just wanted to tell you, that we're having an emergency meeting of the Order at our place.", James said looking very serious now.
"Okay. I'll just get ready and then I'll floo over.", Dorcas answered.
Great, she thought, now I have to face Sirius already.
Upon arriving, she was greeted by Lily who looked as if she didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Her eyes were red and swollen and her hair was very frizzy. Dorcas gave her a tight hug.
"How much sleep did you get last night?", she asked.
"Not much.", Lily answered quietly.
"Come on, let's get you a little more presentable.", Dorcas said and shoved her friend in the bathroom.
"You look like you slept rather good.", Lily said looking curious.
"Er…", Dorcas began blushing.
"What did you do with Sirius?", Lily wanted to know.
"We…er…, well…we…", Dorcas stuttered. "we shagged last night.", she concluded quietly, while brushing her friend's hair.
Lily looked at her with big eyes.
"I thought you guys were just friends.", Lily said, a small smile now playing on her lips.
"We were…I mean…we are!", Dorcas stated not looking into the redhead's eyes. "We just…oh…I don't know."
"So, did he live up to his reputation?", Lily asked winking.
Dorcas groaned: "Hell, he did."
Lily started to giggle now.
"Not funny.", the blonde said, nudging her friend's shoulder. "But he does know what to do with his hands and lips. But you know how he is. It was just a one-night-stand. Nothing more."
Lily sighed: "Are you sure?"
"Yes.", Dorcas said firmly. "He won't see more in it either."
"Yeah, probably.", Lily answered. "Let's go, I think I heard the others arriving. Though you've got to help me up with my big belly."
Lily looked down on herself when she stood. "Great!", she muttered. "I can't even see my feet anymore."
Dorcas chuckled.
"You wait, until you're pregnant.", Lily warned, though she was still smiling.
Both women entered the living room. James was talking quietly with Remus and Frank Longbottom, Edgar Bones and Elphias Doge were enganged in a serious discussion. James looked up and smiled at his wife.
"You feeling better?", he asked her and planted a soft kiss on her mouth.
"Yeah.", Lily answered.
James smiled and put a hand on her belly.
"And how is James jr. doing?"
Lily glared at him: "Our Baby is fine and we will NOT name our son JAMES JR. !"
Instead of answering, James captured Lily's lips again.
"Oi, get a room, will you.", said a voice from the fireplace.
Sirius just stepped out of the flames, his eyes twinkeling. A broad grin spread across his face when he saw Dorcas, who was leaning against the door frame. Her blonde hair hung loosely on her back. She was wearing tight jeans and a fitted top. His eyes wandered from her lower neckline to her hips. Oh, how he would just love to touch her perfect body again. The last night was definitly screaming for a continuation.
Dorcas noticed Sirius' eyes lingering on her. So did Lily.
"You know, we have a guest room uptairs.", she muttered.
Dorcas blushed, but before she could answer, Sirius came over.
"Good Morning, Dorcas.", he said softly.
James looked bewildered from Dorcas to Sirius. But Lily, sensing the danger, pulled her husband away towards Remus.
"Morning, Sirius.", Dorcas said stiffly.
"Can we talk?", Sirius asked. "Alone?"
"Sure.", she answered.
They moved into the hall and closed the door to the living room.
"About last night –", Sirius started.
"Forget it.", Dorcas interrupted.
"What?", he looked at her incredulously.
"It was a mistake.", she continued not looking into his eyes. "It shouldn't have happened. But it did. And I think it would be the best if we considered this as a one-night-stand."
Sirius lifted her head with his fingers under her chin and forced her to look into his eyes.
"Do you really think that last night was just a one-night-stand for me?", he asked her quietly.
He is way too close, Dorcas thought panicking.
She could feel his breath on her face and couldn't but shuddering at their closeness.
When his lips brushed her's, she closed her eyes automatically and parted her lips to enjoy his kiss.
The kiss grew more intense now. Sirius brought his left hand up to carress her cheek, while his right hand traced alongside her upper body and came to a rest on her lower back.
Dorcas knew she shoudn't be doing this, but she couldn't stop herself. Her hands rested on his chest, but moved to his shoulders as Sirius pulled her closer.
Lily's offer came to her mind and she was almost ready to take it, when –
"What in Merlin's name are you two doing here?"
What a cliffhanger!! I'll try to update within the next week.
