10. Curiosity.
"I wonder what a Bridal Suite looks like..." Lily commented as she flicked through a brochure for the hotel they were currently staying in. She and Draco currently sat in a deserted corner of the ballroom her cousin and his son had commandeered for their wedding, drinking expensive champagne from even more expensive glasses, and avoiding the rest of the guests as well as they could. The place was huge, but necessary, considering the sheer amount of friends and family the two had collectively invited. It was about two hours into the reception, with another three to go before the new Bride and Groom said their goodbyes and begun their 'proper' Wedding Night.
"I wouldn't know." Draco was toying with his napkin, folding it into various (bad) origami figures. "I've never had the need of one before. You'd hope it would be good, for the price I'm paying for it." His contribution for the wedding had been supplying money to pay for the rooms for the Bridal Party, along with the two week honeymoon in Greece Rose and Sorpius were to enjoy.
"Would you like to?" Draco's head flew up as Lily wiggled her eyebrows at him.
"What are you planning..?"
The room was massive, as with everything else in the Hotel, fitted with every luxury possible. From the crystal chandelier to the Pool-sized bath to the 'Caesar' sized bed fitted with the most luxurious sheets. Of course, Draco maintained that he had more elaborate bedrooms within in the manor.
"Stop spoiling my fun." Lily complained as she snuggled into his side, stroking the very soft quilt cover gently with her fingers. "Considering I haven't seen any of these rooms, I refuse to believe you." And it was true. While she had been to the Manor on many occasionally in her youth, she and Scorpius had kept to the lower levels and his bedroom, preferring the more modern areas to the stuffy and old fashioned rooms furnished with antiques and rarities.
"I'll have to show you then." Draco pressed soft kisses against the column of her throat. "Some time soon, so you can compare them properly." His words, mixed with his breath tickling her skin, caused her to giggle in amusement. As his hands wandered from where they had been wrapped around her waist to move to less appropriate areas, Lily sighed and grasped them in her own.
"No, Dray." Pushing them off, she climbed out from between the covers of the now seriously ruffled bed. "We've already defiled the place enough." The sheets slid smoothly down her skin and afforded Draco a nice view of Lily's behind as she quickly went about gathering her things from where they now lay strewn across the carpet. Instead of joining her, he lay back against the mountain of pillows and followed her movements with his eyes, a predatory look covering his features. "Get up, Lazy." Lily grabbed his suit trousers from the floor and threw them at him. "We need to be out of here soon-ish, else they realise we're missing."
Draco snorted, still not moving. While not as elaborate as the beds at the Manor, the one provided by the hotel was miles more comfortable. Lily, realizing she was fighting a losing battle, shook her head at him and headed for the bathroom.
"When we ever get married, I want a Bridal Suite like this. But better." She shut the door behind her, leaving Draco to stare at it in stunned contemplation.
'When'. She had said 'When'. Not 'If' but 'When'.
