A/N: So I'm posting this chapter a little early because I'm really eager myself to read your responses.
James' POV
I noticed Lily was oddly quiet today, she's usually more responsive and talkative throughout the day. However, ever since she came back from the hospital she's been acting weird.
It was probably a bad day, she hates when she loses a patient, but I tried my best to lighten up her mood.
On the way back from the party she was silent, and I thought she had slept until she asked if we could get some food on the way back.
We stop at a nearby fast food chain, and she orders burger and fries with a large strawberry milkshake.
"Oh thank God, I'm starving." She comments and immediately opens the bag and fishes for her burger.
Our drive home was longer due to the snow storm, we had to drive slower, and Lily had already finished her food.
"Lils, when are you going to the hospital tomorrow?" I ask as I squint to see the road
"Early," she replies grimly "At 5 a.m." I look at her, concerned at her tone, but she flashes me a smile that doesn't reach her eyes.
"You okay?" I hold her hand
"Yeah, I'm just really tired I guess." She squeezes my hand
"Well we're two minutes away, then you could sleep. However, tomorrow I'm pretty sure the roads would be closed, it's a pretty nasty storm." I tell her as we turn to our street.
"It's supposed to stop in an hour or so, I'm sure they'll clear up the road till then." She lets go of my hand and unbuckles her seatbelt, ready to leave the car. She reaches for her wand and climbs out casting a spell, which creates an umbrella from the tip of her wand.
"I still don't think it's safe for you to go out in this weather." I tell her as soon as she unlocks the door and we walk in. I shrug off my coat and hang it, I turn to see Lily struggling with the button of her coat like she always does. "Let me."
"Thank you." She sighs and lets me unbutton it, I help her out of her coat as well. "You're amazing, you know that?" she says and wraps her arms around my neck.
"I do, actually" I laugh to conceal the fact that she still takes my breath away whenever she gets close to me.
"Arrogant as ever, now shut up and kiss me." She smiles that sweet, sexy smile of hers and I can't resist kissing her soft lips.
She moans and relaxes into my arms, another thing she does that I absolutely adore. I love how relaxed she is with me, how she doesn't try her best to attract my attention, how her smile makes me feel happy, and how her kindness gives me hope in humanity. Actually, come to think of it, I love everything about her.
"I love you," I just say it, a whisper on her lips, on the night of her birthday in the corridor of her house that I have come to call home, both of us cold from the snow, and we didn't even bother turning the lights on. I just say it, because I suddenly feel better and surer about it.
"What?" she murmurs and opens her eyes slightly revealing the emerald I love so much.
"I love you," I repeat "and you don't have to say anything to that-" I begin to explain but she cuts me off
"I love you too," she smiles and I'm struck in awe of her beauty, that someone like her could love someone like me.
I kiss her hard, happiness bubbling inside of me.
"Say it again," I say against her lips
"I love you. I love you, James Potter you arrogant, silly, man." She laughs
"The insults really put an edge to it, I'm not even sure how much you mean it." I laugh with her, and suddenly a devilish smirk appears on her lips.
"Why don't you take me upstairs and I'll show you how much I mean it." She says in a low seductive tone that would make any bloke go mad.
"Aren't you tired?" I frown
"Not physically," she looks up at me innocently, and I tighten my hold around her waist and lift her up, she wraps her legs around me and I'm kissing her on our way upstairs.
"I will show you exactly how much I love you, James Potter." She whispers hot in my ear. I'm already hard as a rock and then she says stuff like that and make me go mad.
I open her bedroom door and set her on the bed, she instantly begins undoing my shirt while her lips are locked on mine.
When she successfully throws my shirt on to the ground, she starts undoing my belt but fails.
"Need help with that?" I break the kiss and she rolls her eyes as she finishes with the zipper.
"I can manage. Although, I am still dressed, so do you need any help?" she teases.
"I think not," I don't hesitate to pull down her dress revealing the purple, lacy, bra and thongs she's wearing.
She pushes my shoulder and I fall next to her, she takes that time to climb over me until she's straddling my hips.
She plants hot kisses all over, trailing downwards until she reaches the spot that begs relief.
She slowly lowers my boxers then reaches for my member, she's such a tease.
"Lily, let's skip the teasing, shall we?" I warn her, clearly not the time for games.
She takes me whole in her warm wet mouth, then pulls out completely and blows on the tip. I nearly cum right there and then because of her,
She continues on this slow, torturous pace and when I'm dangerously close.
"Lils," I say her name again, she doesn't stop but instead sucks harder and bobs faster.
It was when she started massaging my balls that I couldn't hold it anymore. I lay there for a minute catching my breath, she finishes and moves up over me planting kisses under my ear.
Her mouth crashes onto mine, her fingers digging deliciously into my scalp. My hands roam her perfect, soft body, and we're a mess tangled on bed.
I turn us over and her legs lock around my waist, exposing her warm to my member.
"You're so unbelievably gorgeous." I tell her, I feel her smile on my lips.
I unclip her bra and massage her breasts, she wiggles against me and it's enough to send shock waves down there.
"James," she moaned my name, she thrust her hips further into mine.
"Lily, you're making it really hard for me." I hiss,
"Please," she begs and moves more against my hard member.
"Alight, birthday girl." I kiss her and lower her thong, which joins the rest of our clothes on the floor.
I position myself at her opening, but do nothing to enter her.
"James," she whimpers
"What do you want, Lily." I ask her and kiss her neck
"You," she says,
"You have to be a bit more specific." I tease her and nip at her ear.
Her hands roam my back and she whispers into my ear "I want you. All of you, rough and mind-blowing, inside of me." Her hot breath against my ear sends a shiver up my spine, but she licks under my ear which makes me crazy.
I thrust into her at once, just like she asked, and we both groan at the contact.
A few hours of rough, mind-blowing sex later we were both breathless against each other.
"I need to go to the bathroom." Lily announces still breathless, and I take the opportunity to get her gift from the pocket of my jacket.
As soon as she comes out she looks at me and the item I'm holding.
"What are you holding?" she asks with a frown
"You're birthday gift, silly." I smile and hand her the box,
"I don't need anything, James, you're all I want." She eyes it but doesn't make any move to take it from me.
"Too bad, I already bought it." I open it for her, "Turn around." I tell her, and she complies. I push away her hair to the side and lay a kiss on her neck, I put the necklace around her neck and clasp it.
She looks at the shining gold, heart shaped pendant hanging from her neck and takes it in her hand.
"Open it," I encourage her, she looks up, her green wide eyes searching mine. She opens it and there's a picture of both of us on one side, and the words
'You have bewitched me body and soul'
On the other side it's from her favourite book, 'Pride and Prejudice'
"James," she breathes, "this is…perfect" she smiles that smile of hers that I have come to know she only preserves for me and it knocks the wind out of my lunges.
"I'm glad you like it," I wrap my arms around her waist bringing her closer so I could rest my forehead on hers.
"I love it," she kisses me softly and when I look into her eyes I see a bit of sadness etched on her features.
"What's wrong?" I frown, but she shakes her head
"I'm just tired, can we sleep?" she tugs my hand and leads the way to bed.
She rests in between my arms, we both look out the window opposite her bed, watching the snowflakes fall. With Lily warm and safe in my arms, there's nothing better I could wish for.
I kiss her once more,
"Goodnight, love." I murmur into her hair
"Goodnight, James." She says in a soft voice,
I mentally plan to ask her what's wrong tomorrow, but for now, she'll sleep in my arms.
