OOoOoOo

The weekend was over too soon, but Severus and Sirius remained at the manor since Severus' father, Octavious, was still teaching his classes, so he informed the headmaster that he would return for the upcoming school year.

All four friends sat in the parlor drinking tea (well, Lucius was tossing back shots of Fire Whiskey) discussing the strange turn of events.

"I've decided that after the twins last year at Hogwarts, I'm resigning my post," Severus said while holding his tumbler aloft in his hand.

"Why Severus?" James asked, setting his cup down on his lap.

"Yes, Sev, why? This is not like you. I know that you love teaching, regardless of how many times you complain about the little monsters," Lucius added, just as curious as well. He refilled his and Sirius' glasses with the strong smelling brown liquid.

"I'm tired, Lucius. I-my cover as a spy is blown for the mere fact that Voldemort found out about my marriage to Sirius—no thanks to that Skeeter woman," Severus explained, but James noticed how the other wizard shook when he mentioned the evil dark Lord.

Placing his now empty cup on the serving table between him and Sirius; James walked up to the tall Potions master. "What did he do to you?"

"Nothing," Severus answered quickly, not looking his friend in the eye.

The former Gryffindor turned pleading eyes to his best friend.

"That sick fuck tried to force himself on Severus to get him…" Sirius couldn't finish his sentence. He choked on them. But he didn't have to say anything. They all knew what Voldemort was capable of—he wanted Severus to conceive an heir, but with Severus being stronger than Voldemort had anticipated, the Potions professor was able to escape with his life.

You-Know-Who's plan to have Severus carry his tainted seed failed, which Sirius (and Severus) was most grateful for. But the teacher was now a marked man. Every Death Eater in England would be on the look-out for him; and Sirius was not going to risk his husband's life by keeping him exposed—not after getting him back.

oOoOoOo

Once settled into bed and after their good-byes to Sirius and Severus, James watched Lucius working on last minute reports for the school governors. A review was coming up in regards to Lupin's return for next term, and with his own trial set at the start of the summer holidays, Lucius was spreading himself thin and it showed.

Climbing out of bed, James silently made his way over to his lover, easing his arms around Lucius' neck and shyly rubbing his taut chest with slightly shaky fingers. He was nervous. James knew what he was missing with Lucius. He was no longer content to 'sleep' next to his husband.

"Go to bed, Jay. I am almost finished with these repo- Hey! Give those back!"

But James was not playing fair. He held the parchments out of reach—barely as Lucius tried to grab them back. The desk rattled. The chair was knocked over. In the end they tumbled to the bed, the headboard banging loudly against the wall. James swiftly scooted up the bed to deposit the parchments in the side table drawer. He was seized by the ankle and pulled toward the end of the massive bed.

Lucius covered James' body with his own, staring deeply into dancing hazel orbs. He lowered his head to place a kiss on James' brow, but was surprised when James tilted his head up to receive the kiss on the lips before taking the hint and settling in for the night.

Since reuniting, Lucius restrained himself from engaging in any type of sexual activity with James—knowing that the younger wizard would feel uncomfortable. Lucius, (being the gentleman that he was), even went as far as to assign James to a guest room down the hall from the master suite until they had re-acquainted themselves with each other.

However, on the second night of James' stay at the manor, the former Gryffindor meandered his way through the endless semi-lit hallways of the Malfoy ancestral home to where Lucius was sleeping. The latter was so pleasantly surprised to wake the following morning with his husband beside him, slumbering soundly, that Lucius didn't make James leave to go back to his own bed, and when it happened again Lucius gave up, and from that night onward allowed the messy haired man to stay.

Not only did James continue to sleep in the same bed with Lucius, but also he (James) was initiating more physical contact. Over the span of a few days, James was growing confident with his touches. Lucius allowed his husband to feel him. James was familiarizing himself with his husband's body, until one night (like any other night), James pressed his flat firm stomach into Lucius' back while arching his hips to let the blond feel his burgeoning erection, letting the ex-Slytherin know that he craved more than just being platonic bed partners.

Yet, Lucius politely refused to engage in anything more than heavy petting.

During the lonely years of not having James with him, Lucius learned to ignore his sexual urges; even now Lucius walked an extremely fragile line ofnot becoming intimate with his soul mate again to strengthen their bond that was currently weak.

And tonight, James was not going to deny himself or his husband any longer.

Not being shy at all, his voice low and husky with passion, James whispered into the pure-blood's ear, "Make love to me, Lucius." With unhurried steady hands, Lucius turned over to remove both his and James sleeping pants. Lucius placed tender kisses to his husband's neck as questing fingers traveled along silky smooth skin to cup the firm mounds of James' bare behind. He rolled his hips, rubbing his own erection along side James' cock causing jolts of fire to flare-up in their bodies.

James shivered with desire when Lucius teased his penis with his rotating hips. James needed more than just simple teasing of his flesh. He needed… more… he wanted to feel whole.

James sucked in a gulp of air at the gentle prodding of a long slender digit as it disappeared into his body and did not even realize that Lucius had managed to retrieve the small crystal phial of scented lubricant from his side of the bed.

"Mm-hmm," James managed to gasp out as another finger joined the first then a third slipping in, stretching his tight passage.

All too soon, James was pushing down on those digits. Unable to hold out, least he would come, Lucius removed his fingers and poured oil on his rapidly red member.

James tensed a little at feeling the mushroom head of his husband's erection as Lucius slowly worked his way in.

So long…

It's been so long since Lucius had been intimate with James. The blond sensed his young partner's un-easiness. "Relax, Jay, and let me love you."

As carefully as he possibly could, Lucius inched his way into the delicious moistened hidden entrance. They groaned in pleasure.

Lucius stilled himself from wanting to lose control. He allowed James time to adjust to the intrusion. Lucius knew that it hurt and it could not be helped—thirteen years was a very long time without having any type of penetration. A few tears escaped from James as his breathing deepened as he gave into Lucius' first thrust.

They were truly together.

Lucius pulled them into an upright position cradling his lover in his lap. James grabbed onto strong shoulders for leverage and rode Lucius. Sweat glistened off heated skin. The lovers' only focus was each other. James head tilted back, exposing his throat. Lucius licked and sucked the delicate column of flesh that was offered to him..

Using one hand, Lucius teased and pinched his husband's responsive nipples then alternated. James arched his back further from the tingling current it caused in his body, thus moving himself closer to Lucius, trapping his manhood in between the scrumptious friction their bodies created. Lucius bit down on the cord of muscle of James' shoulder, drawing blood, lapping the succulent liquid.

The Gryffindor ceased all movement and came, coating their stomachs with his essence. Several plunges upward combined with the clenching sensation around his manhood, Lucius grunted out his release far in his lover's pulsating canal.

Neither James nor Lucius moved from their vertical position—wanting to stay linked for a long as they could. Both wizards were content to stay wrapped around each other. Once their breathing was back to normal and their bodies stopped twitching from their completion, James and Lucius situated themselves in bed for the night.

Small bursts of magic could still be seen in their bedchamber as the aftermath of their lovemaking was slowly coming to an end.

James felt alive for the first time since returning back home with his husband. He snuggled closer to Lucius—not minding in the least of the drying come on his bare stomach or what was leaking out of his hole. Obviously, Lucius didn't mind either as there was soft even breathing was the only sound the blond was making.

The silent between them was comfortable and they knew that everything else would fall into place when the time came. They would take one step at a time together, face their fears together, and above the many trials that were to come Lucius would make sure to keep his family together.

oOo TBC oOo

A/N: How was that? I thought that it would be nice to have Lucius and James have a real reunion of sorts. Tell me what you think. And what about Sev and Siri? Sirius has yet to meet his almost grown kids and James still hasn't seen Draco or Harry. What will happen once they see each other? Don't know? Well, stay turned for the next chapter to find out.

"James Potter is dead! I don't know what kind of trick you're playing at, Calhoun-"

"Trick? Are you mad? Let me assure you and every one here—this is no trick."
