A couple of weeks passed after James and Lily's experiment at the pond and they both became rather busy in the village. James was building the start of a new boat, though there wasn't enough wood.

Lily enjoyed the fact that they both wanted to find more time and energy to explore each other's bodies and had begun to tease him while he worked.

"I was thinking, James, how nice it might be to hop in the water right now," Lily said, as she stood beside him watching him hammer a nail into two planks.

"I'm right there with you, love. Still have lots of hammering to do first," James said.

"I could pull my skirt up under the water and no one would even know. I could just press myself against you and let you have your way with me. If you were slow and careful no one would notice," Lily said.

James stopped hammering then grinned and shook his head.

"Shit," James said, looking about in paranoia.

The village was in view but no one was in the immediate vicinity. Of course, Lily had no intention of doing such a thing, but it was fun to get him worked up and she smiled at the bulge in his trousers.

James made sure to pay her back. One day she was picking berries not far from the lighthouse and James had been by to visit Sirius. He walked up behind her and said, "Oh, Lily. Do you know how much I would like to stick my head beneath your skirt? I doubt Sirius would notice anything."

Lily laughed but didn't reply. James knelt beside her and grabbed a berry. He bit into it slowly, letting the juice pour all over his mouth. Lily couldn't help but appreciate the way his lips wrapped around the small berry.

Lily detected a hint of arousal in herself but chose to ignore it. Instead she said, "Neither of us have any work to do tomorrow.I was thinking we might want to spend the day in bed. Feel free to come to my room when you wake up. Don't bother bringing any clothing."

James stared at her then slowly stood up. Lily glanced at his groin, seeing exactly what she wanted. James would have to just face the fact that she was better at this.

James arrived at her bedroom the following morning, right on cue and every bit as naked as she had requested. Lily was surprised by how much smaller his flaccid penis was than his erect penis. It really did grow quite a lot.

James fell into bed next to her, dropping onto his stomach. Lily smiled at his bottom than was so finely shaped.

"Your arse really is nice, James Potter," Lily said.

"You're not so bad yourself, Lily Evans," James said.

Lily giggled then said, "So I was thinking today we would just… take turns exploring our bodies. Just with our hands and mouths. No penetration yet."

"So what… you'll just lay there and…" James said.

"You can touch me freely. Explore every inch of me. Then I'll do the same to you. It's another way of… getting to know each other," Lily said with a wide smile.

"That sounds… nice," James said.

"Let's get to it then, shall we?" Lily said, gesturing up and down her naked body.

James looked her up and down.

"I don't know how to choose where to start. Every part of you is perfection," James said, making Lily blush.

James wisely started with her mouth, giving her a slow, sensual kiss. It was difficult for Lily to remain still and not want reach over and put her hands on James but she resisted, knowing that before long she would be able to touch him all she wanted, free of interference.

James placed a hand on her cheek. She was surprised to feel how cold he was but knew he would soon be warming up. All things considered Lily really loved kissing James Potter. He was just so good at it. It never failed to take her breath away.

James dragged his lips from her mouth, across her cheek and to her pale throat. He pressed his lips into her flesh and breathed hot onto her neck, giving her chills. He pulled his mouth away and touched a finger to her neck and softly dragged it down to her chest.

Lily had always been uncomfortable with how boys always leered at her chest and commented on the size of her breasts. James Potter had never done that. He seemed to appreciate them as part of a beautiful whole and that was fine with her.

James let his finger trace the line of her breasts, dragging it around and under her left breast, then up and around her right breast before dragging it down between them. He then dragged his finger up the slope of her left breast until it found one of her pink nipples.

James lightly touched her nipple, which was very hard and sensitive at the moment. He traced the circle of her areola, his face looking almost fascinated. James cupped her left breast then slowly lowered his mouth to her nipple, wrapping his lips around it and slowly sucking.

Lily let out a soft moan and he moved to the other breast and did the same. She wanted to warn him how sensitive they were but instead he moved on, kissing his way down her breast to her belly.

Lily had put on some weight in the last couple of years, especially since she had moved on with James. She supposed that she had been a little underfed at times when she lived on her own. It was nice to feel more healthy and she liked the extra weight. She had worried at first that maybe James would find her less attractive but it was clear that wasn't the case as he planted gentle, loving kisses all over the softness of her belly and making happy sounds.

Lily giggled from being tickled and James carried on. He traced a finger along the edge of her pubic mound down her inner thigh to her knee. He then kissed along that same path while Lily let out soft sounds of approval.

James lifted her right leg to kiss down her calf, making his way down to her ankle which he also kissed before finishing off with the top of her right foot. His finger traced around her foot, softly touching all of her toes. Lily laughed from being tickled as his fingers dragged underneath the soft underside of the toes.

Lily loved the way James looked at every part of her, even her toes, with love and wonder. There was something about being so wholly admired that filled her with endless joy.

James began with her other side by kissing the bottom of her left foot, the kissing her ankle and back up her calf. He slowly moved up her inner thigh until he arrived back where he started at the top of her pubic mound.

"Roll over?" he asked.

Lily rolled over onto her stomach, resting her head on her arms and a pillow.

"There's a lot more of you that needs my love," James said, as he brushed her hair away from her neck.

James pressed his lips into the nape of her neck then dragged a finger down her back, from her neck, down her spine and stopping just above her bottom. Lily shivered and made a thrilled sound.

James dragged his fingers softly up and down her back, tickling Lily occasionally. He then placed a hand on her left side and slowly moved it down, feeling the shape of her body.

James moved his mouth to her neck again and began to kiss and suck his way down her spine, his hand squeezing her left hip. Once he had reached the small of her back he pressed his face into her and nuzzled her there. Lily giggled with joy and James moved his hand to her bottom.

He traced the line of her cheeks much like he had done her breasts then he cupped them and planted soft kisses on them. James then kissed down her right cheek to the back of her inner thigh. Lily could feel the dampness down there and longed for James to explore more closely.

Instead, he continued kissing down the backs of her thighs all the way down to her feet again. He then kissed back up as expected before finally saying, "OK. You can roll back over."

"Ooo, hehe," Lily giggled and rolled over, instantly spreading her legs.

James gazed at her vulva not with lust but with the same admiration as the rest of her body, though Lily wouldn't've minded a little lust at that moment.

James moved his body between her legs, being amazingly careful not to let his own swollen organ touch her as he climbed over her left leg. James lowered himself to her groin. Lily could feel his hot breath as his face moved close. James inhaled and pressed his face into the dark red curls of pubic mound, nuzzling her.

Lily giggled and could feel all of her blood flowing down there. James kissed her there then let his face slide down, his nose sliding between her slit and, perhaps accidentally, bumping her clitoris, giving her a sudden shock of pleasure which made her yelp then burst into laughter.

James laughed as well and the vibrations caused by his voice felt nice down there. James pulled his face away and placed a hand on her, rubbing her outer lips softly with his fingers. He then used his other hands to spread them apart, revealing her swollen flesh to him.

James looked her vulva over with curiosity. She supposed he had never really seen one this close before. He looked a bit like he had just received a gift that he didn't understand how to use.

His fingers roamed around, grazing her clitoris and drifting down to her opening. She felt as James's fingers brushed at her dampness and he went, "Wow."

Lily laughed as he examined his now wet fingertips with wonder.

"I knew it got wet but… that's amazing," James said.

James lowered a finger back to her hole, pushing it slightly inside. Lily gasped then held her breath as James slowly pushed inside. His middle finger was certainly larger than any of her fingers and even as wet as she was it felt a little snug.

"Am I hurting you?" James asked.

"No. Don't worry. I will tell you if it hurts and if I don't like something I will tell you to stop," Lily said.

She didn't want to tell him what to do. The point was for him to explore, but she was looking forward to him discovering her clitoris. It did felt nice as James pulled his longer finger in and out and her mind still raced over the notion of his much thicker penis going there.

"I'll admit… I don't understand how I can get my… it's just… so small," James said.

"It evolved to pass babies, you know," Lily said then laughed.

James laughed too and removed his finger. Lily missed the friction but was excited by James's finger that was now sliding back up towards her clitoris.

"This is your clitoris?" James asked, pointing towards the hood of clitoris.

"You're supposed to be exploring, James," Lily said.

James's slid his finger down the hood and Lily shook from another shock of pleasure as his finger grazed over her clitoris.

"Oh. There," he said, figuring it out.

James rubbed at it with a fingertip and Lily recoiled as it was a bit sensitive.

"It's sensitive," Lily warned.

James slid two fingers on either side of her clitoral hood and lightly squeezed. Lily moaned and was having to greatly resist giving James instructions.

James lowered his mouth to her flesh and pressed his lips into the hood, sucking lightly and giving Lily another jolt of pleasure.

"Mmmm. That's nice," Lily said, appreciating a sensation she had never felt before.

As James sucked again, Lily lamented the thing that her mouth wasn't able to reach down there. James's lips kissed and sucked up and down the hood, drawing even more blood to the region.

James then stuck out his tongue and licked around it, making Lily feel very frustrated and aroused. James pulled his mouth away and looked up at Lily with a shy smile.

"I… did ask around. I wanted advice on how to do… this but… Well, Sirius is gay and has never even had sex. Peter has had sex but was too embarrassed to say much of anything. So I'm just saying… I'm not really sure what I'm doing," James said.

"That's OK. That's what practice is for, right? Just keep testing the waters. Don't worry about making me come this time," Lily said, reaching down to stroke some of his messy black hair with her fingers.

James lowered his mouth back down and stuck his tongue at her hole, lapping at her dampness and probing the tip inside of her. Lily moaned, appreciating yet another different feeling.

James thankfully then dragged his tongue north, finally flicking it against her very swollen clitoris that was feeling more amenable to touch now. Lily released a much louder moan, hoping he would get the hint to do more of that.

Lily was grateful to discover he had received the hint and lapped at her clitoris once again. Lily's body felt flushed and she placed her hands on her breasts, feeling incredibly sexy right now.

As James continued to lap at her Lily made sure to moan and let him know how good it felt, in the hopes he wouldn't stop or get distracted by something else. By the Goddess, he could definitely make her come if he kept that up.

James looked strangely beautiful as he continued to pleasure her with his tongue. She had imagined this moment so many times and was happy to discover that receiving oral sex felt so much better than she expected.

As Lily felt herself edging closer to climax she wanted so badly to beg him not stop and hope he could see how closer he was bringing her. James ramped his speed up gradually and Lily's hands was clutching the sheets in anticipation of the big moment.

"Oh. Oh, James. Ohhhh," Lily moaned as she climaxed, her body convulsing as pleasure coursed through her.

"Ahh. Fuck!" Lily squealed, unable to prevent herself from swearing at the moment.

James continued to lick as euphoria washed over her.

"Oh, James. That was fantastic. Come kiss me, please," Lily said, through heavy breaths.

James moved beside her and quickly kissed her. Lily could taste her own tartness on his mouth that she didn't mind as it was evidence of how much he had pleased her.

"OK. Your turn. On your back, Potter," Lily said.

James looked excited. Lily was happy that she was helping to brighten his life so much as he was brightening hers more than words could actually explain.

Lily had a tough act to follow. James had done a good job and he had clearly put a lot of thought into it. She put a hand on his chest and felt his muscles. They weren't very large but they were very well defined. He felt strong.

Lily's fingers found his small, dark nipples and she wasted no time in wrapping her red lips around one of them and sucking.

"Ahhh," James groaned in apparent pleasure.

So, James liked having his nipples sucked more than she did! Lily sucked the nipple again, even harder and felt James shake and groan beneath her. She then sucked the other nipple just as hard, thrilled that she had discovered one of his weaknesses, perhaps one that he himself didn't realise he had.

"Wow. Lily that's… something else," James said, his face looking shocked.

Lily gave him a wicked smile and moved her hand to his abdomen. It was just as finely shaped as his chest and he had a patch of curly, black fuzz around his navel that she took great enjoyment from ruffling her fingers through.

James laughed as she tickled him, and she appreciated the payback. She then slid her hand down to James's groin. She couldn't help but stop and inspect his penis with her eyes. It was dark and very thick. His foreskin covered all of his shaft and most of the wide head. A stream of fluid hung from the tip of the head to the bottom of his belly.

It wasn't as long as she had at first judged it from afar which was fine as she doubted she could get much more than what he had inside of her anyway. Lily traced her finger around the organ in question, watching as it twitched, not knowing if it was her or James that caused it.

Lily pressed her lips into James's inner thigh, seeing no reason he should be any less tormented than she was, only her kisses left red marks here and there. She kissed down his thigh and to his calf. His legs were covered with a lot of dark hair that felt a little rough as she dragged her face down it.

James's feet were surprisingly well groomed considering how often he worked on his feet. Lily planted small kisses on the tips of his toes before moving on to the other leg.

Lily continued on up his leg and back to his thigh, requesting he turn over just as he had her. Once he was on his stomach Lily marveled at his shapely bottom. A perfect mixture of roundness and firmness lay before her and she wanted to put her hands all over them. It was truly magnificent.

Instead, Lily slid next to James and began to kiss down his spine. James's skin was salty from sweat, having had lots of time for his body to build up heat by now. Beneath her, Lily could almost feel James shifting, possibly trying to give his penis some friction.

Lily arrived at his bottom and she grinned so much she was sort of glad James couldn't see. Lily lightly stroked each of James's cheeks absolutely in awe of their shape and firmness.

"Oh, James Potter. You and your beautiful bottom are going to be the end of me," Lily said, leaning over to give both cheeks a kiss.

Lily had become aware, thanks to Dorcas Meadowes, that some people liked a little anal penetration, thanks to something called the prostate that she read about in a book. Lily wondered if James would like that but decided to save that thought for a later date.

"OK, James. Roll over and let's see about that swelling you have," Lily said, laughing at her own ridiculous attempt at humour.

James rolled over and had an almost giddy look on his face. Lily got between his legs and scooted up to the organ in question. This was it, she thought, as she placed the tip of her finger at the base of his cock and slowly dragged it up to the head. James looked urgent and desperate, a feeling she understood well.

Lily wrapped a hand around his cock, or as best as she could at least. Unlike James she wasn't able to make a perfect O with her fingers around it, as it was too thick to let her fingers touch. Lily gently moved her hands up and down, feeling his soft foreskin gliding with he movement.

Lily licked her lips and lowered her mouth to the head. She pushed down its width then slowly sucked up, tasting the salty fluid that covered it from his arousal. James made a choked sound and his cock twitched again.

Lily again sucked on the head and James groaned, letting out a call of, "Oh, Goddess, Lily," wholly unaware of the accidental accuracy of his words.

Lily, unlike James, had managed to get some advice for performing oral sex on a penis. Dorcas had demonstrated it to her on various fruits, which was ridiculous, embarrassing and somehow informative. But nothing Dorcas had was as thick as James's penis. She definitely wouldn't be able to get much more than the head into her mouth, at least not without a great deal of practice.

Lily pushed her mouth down, past the head, then sucked up, feeling James jerk and let out a moan. To her surprise, a small spurt of fluid popped out of the tip and she quickly licked it up. It was an odd taste that she wouldn't really describe as good but she didn't mind it either. His bollocks looked full and felt heavy as she cupped them. She could feel them tightening to his body the more she sucked.

"Lily, I don't think I'll be able to hold on very long. I almost felt like I was going to come when I was going down on you," James said.

Lily wrapped a hand around his cock and slowly stroked it. It was sort of fun to watch his face strain as her hand reached the head. Lily put her mouth back on the head and began to suck and stroke him in unison. It was a little difficult to do both at the same time but Dorcas had insisted that James would love it.

Even just the head of his cock stretched her mouth open a lot and she realised that at the very least her vagina should be able to handle it better than her mouth. She could hardly breathe and had to keep stopping to catch her breath, a fact that seemed to frustrate poor James who looked shocked every time she stopped.

Finally, she decided she had had enough of tormenting James and sucked his head hard and fast.

"Almost. Oh, Goddess," James moaned, his breathing hard and sounding desperate.

Lily sucked as hard as she could, almost embarrassed by the sounds she was making.

"Ohhh," James breathed quietly before groaning deeply and moaning, "Lily!" as his cock pulsed, letting hot, salty fluid pour onto her tongue.

Lily made a happy sound of approval as James continued to shudder and strain with orgasm, pleased with herself and him. Lily continued to suck as his cock grew flaccid. She was surprised with how quickly he lost his arousal. It wasn't like that for her exactly. She could keep going if she wanted, most of the time, though it was always a little more sensitive after she came.

Once James seemed to be trying to pull away she let his cock go then moved up his body to give him a kiss once more. They were both hot, tired and sweaty but there was something incredibly passionate about that kiss. With their physical desire satiated they were only doing it for love.

James and Lily spent the rest of the day in bed just as Lily had wanted. After sex they took to reading to each other and even had dinner and tea in bed. Lily felt happier than she had ever felt and not because of the sex, not exactly. It was the intimacy they were sharing.

That night as James fell asleep next to her, she thought of how things were changing. It was that word, intimacy that kept echoing in her mind and the way her life and James's life were merging to become one and the same.

She considered the notion of days like these every going away and felt a stab of pain in her heart. No… she couldn't bear to even consider her life without James. The notion of letting this beautiful, kind, strong, giving and caring man fall out her life was very undesirable. James had been more attentive to her wants, needs and desires than anyone ever had.

So the next line of thinking obvious: Could she marry James Potter? Should she marry James Potter? Would James Potter even be interested in marrying her?

Lily imagined herself in the future. She imagined a life they could build together. James had already mentioned something that afternoon about going ahead and moving her stuff into his room or even just breaking down the walls and having one large, shared room.

Lily always thought she'd be the sort of always want her own space but the idea of sharing a room with James, day in and day out, made her happier than she ever expected.

But she worried that she would not be a good partner for James. There was still a great deal that she didn't understand about herself. And what if she couldn't have children? She couldn't be certain. James had mentioned in the past his intentions for any future children, how he would raise them and the values he would bestow on them.

Lily's hand drifted to her still naked abdomen and rubbed there. She had always wanted to have at least one child someday. Of course, it was expected, wasn't it? Her mother and father always assumed that getting married and producing children was just a thing that she would do because that was how life worked.

In a way, that made Lily not want to do it. She didn't want to do things because she had to but because she wanted to. But now that she was in love with James Potter, she hoped that she could produce a child. And she hoped even more that he would still love her if she wasn't able to.

Lily rolled over and kissed James on his forehead then pushed her body next to him, placing her head on his pillow. If she could spend the rest of her life just like this, why wouldn't she?
