Saturday dawned sunny and blue-skied, without a single cloud in sight. The temperature was already through the roof in Lily's apartment when she rolled out of bed, her hair a frizzy mass of humidity-enhanced curls and waves.
After a shower and coffee she felt sweaty still, and was twisting her hair up off her neck when her cell rang. "Hello?" she said, picking it up without looking.
"Quick, tell me to go fuck myself," Scorpius murmured.
"Uh, why?" she asked, brows drawing together in confusion.
"Because no one's said it to me in at least seventy two hours, and you're great at it."
Lily smiled. "Seriously? You're calling me to verbally abuse you?"
"Well you're not here to do other things to me," he said in his very deep voice that made her nipples go hard. Lily sucked in a breath and swallowed. "I'll even say something asinine first if that helps."
"You should probably talk to a professional," she teased. "I think that's some kind of mental disorder."
"I had mint chocolate chip ice cream in Miami, and it melted, and all I could think about was how fantastic your fucking tits are," he rumbled. Lily blushed and rolled her eyes, glad he couldn't see the grin she tried to smother.
"Go fuck yourself, Scorpius," she replied and he chuckled. "Seriously. I'm not letting you lick ice cream off my tits you fucking pervert."
"Christ," he muttered. "Your mouth was made for that word, babe."
"What word? Pervert? Or tits?"
"No, fuck." She grinned. "So when are you and your man-eating cousin coming to the beach?"
"When do you want us?"
"I'd like you now, but naked and in bed with me. Your cousin can come for that too if you'd like." Lily frowned.
"You're being a prick, Scorpius. Shut up." He chuckled again. "I'd say go fuck yourself, but you might get off on that."
"So feisty. We usually meet around noon."
"Then we'll be there sometime around then," she said airily. "And don't forget to tell them to be on their best behavior. Rose won't tolerate perverts staring at her tits."
"If her nipples get hard like yours, babe, that might be unavoidable."
"I'll let her know. See you later."
"Hopefully I'll see you naked later, too."
"Fuck you," she said, grinning, and hung up.
Lily picked Rose up a little after noon, smirking at her cousin as she climbed up into Lily's Jeep. "What?" the blue-eyed woman demanded. Lily pointedly looked over her cousin's outfit. Push up bikini top, Brazilian bottoms that showed a large amount of ass and a sheer leopard print wrap. It looked damn good.
"You're making me look like a scrub," Lily sighed, backing out of Rose's driveway. She glanced at her own turquoise string bikini and faded, acid-washed cutoffs. Her hair was in a bun atop her head.
Rose snorted. "You already found a man who wants to get naked with you on a regular basis. Suck it up, Potter."
"Bitch," Lily said grinning. "You know they're going to be playing football, right?"
"Mmhmm," Rose said then smirked. "It's going to be good." Lily laughed with her.
When they parked at the beach, the redhead felt a burst of nerves. She hadn't seen Scorpius since she'd kicked him out of her apartment last, and she almost wished she had thought to meet him earlier, if only to get the awkwardness out of the way. How would he greet her? What would he say to his friends? Would she still feel the same primal lust for him and his wicked hot body? She only had an answer to the last question.
"Where are we going?" Rose asked, her auburn curls blowing in the breeze off the water. Lily laughed.
"I actually have no clue." She glanced around and then spotted a group of four guys, a fair ways down the beach, throwing a football. "There, I think," she murmured, and left her bag in the Jeep, locking up. Rose frowned.
"I can't tell if any of the shirtless singles are hot from here," she pouted as the hot sand burned Lily's bare feet after she kicked off her sandals. Lily elbowed her. "Ugh, fine, I'll be nice. But if they're all ugly you owe me big time."
"Yeah, yeah," Lily said. As they approached she found herself looking at Scorpius with what she hoped was a neutral expression, but it was hard not to drool and gape at his hotness. He was all bronzed, toned sex god in dark grey and blue surf shorts and she wanted to get him naked and get on top and take him for a ride. She blushed a little.
"Which one is-?"
"The blond one," she murmured in an undertone to Rose, who sucked in a breath. "Uh huh," she agreed. "I told you you wouldn't believe me if I tried to convey the sexy."
"Yeah, he's alright. But look at the Italian stallion throwing the ball!" Lily eyed up Scorpius's friend and shrugged. Tall, dark and handsome, with olive-toned complexion and a shit throw, she noticed. Not bad. But definitely not Scorpius.
"Then you're welcome in advance," Lily murmured and smiled as Scorpius looked up, meeting her gaze and smirking.
"Scorpius!" Tony shouted, and he caught the ball without thinking. "Stop staring at the hot ass and focus," he added, jogging over.
The blond watched Mike and Vinny also look around at the two women approaching, and Tony threw his hands up as the game stalled. "Can't help it, Tony," Scorpius said, grinning at his friend. "I've been thinking about that ass for days."
"Which one?" asked Vinny, a younger slightly darker version of Tony with dark hair and dark eyes, murmured, looking both women over. Scorpius smacked him in the back of the head.
"The redhead. She's the one I told you about." Identical smirks blossomed on Tony and Vinny's faces. Mike, tall and huge with long, light brown hair and blue eyes, was still staring at Lily's cousin's breasts, which were all but spilling from her bikini top.
"Which one of these meatheads threw the ball last time?" Lily asked as she and her cousin approached. The blond smirked and pointed at Tony. The redhead looked at him. "You should stick to catching. You suck at throwing a football."
Tony's brows went up. "Is that so? Are you in the NFL?"
Lily shrugged. "No, but I'd spank you if we had a contest." She smiled at Scorpius. "Hi. This is Rose." She gestured to her cousin, who was now batting her eyelashes at Vinny.
"She doesn't look capable of murder."
"Looks are deceiving. Do the meatheads have names?"
"The one questioning your throwing skills is Tony. His little brother Vinny, and Mike is the one having problems tearing his eyes away from your cousin's tits." Scorpius grinned and leaned down and kissed her. "I like your bathing suit."
"No, you like what's in the bathing suit," she replied coyly.
"I like the suit, too. It doesn't force me to imagine much."
Lily rolled her eyes, but grinned, then took the football from him. "So, Tony, do you want me to teach you how to throw a football?"
Tony arched a dark brow. "Really? I'd love to see you try, Red."
She tossed the ball lightly to him and he caught it. "Show me your best." Tony glanced at Scorpius who shrugged. "Come on, I'll bet you ten bucks my throw is not only more accurate but will go further. Let's see your best." She smiled sweetly. "Or are you afraid you'll lose to a girl?"
Rose smirked as Vinny laughed. "Go on, Tony, show the girl."
Mike snorted. "I've seen ten year olds with a better arm than Tony."
Tony shoved him. "Then you can go catch, shit head."
Mike scoffed but jogged off down the beach about fifty feet or so. Lily snorted. "You want in on this bet, Malfoy?"
"Naw, I need to save my ten bucks to buy you ice cream, babe."
"I'll take that bet," Vinny said.
"That's sweet, he's betting on his big brother to win," Rose teased. "Tell you what, if Lily beats your bro, you can take me out for dinner instead."
"And when she loses, you can come back to my place and we'll skip dinner," Vinny returned and Rose lifted her brows.
"Deal," Rose said and shared a smile with Lily. "You silly men. You'll see."
"I'm looking forward to seeing you shimmy out of that bathing suit, love," Vinny said to Rose.
"Everyone shut up, I need to focus," Tony said. Lily smirked as he finally threw the ball. It wobbled in a rough spiral, right to Mike.
"Aw, that's cute. Was that your practice throw?" Lily teased. She glanced at Scorpius. "Sure you don't want to bet?"
"If you throw better than Tony, I'll stop thinking about licking up mint chocolate chip ice cream."
Lily laughed. "No you won't, but sure, deal." Mike tossed the ball to her and she caught it easily. "Watch close, boys," she said, smirking. She waved a hand at Mike indicating he should move back. He took a half dozen steps back. She rolled her eyes. "Further," she shouted. Mike took four more steps then stopped.
"I hope you can afford surf and turf," Rose said to Vinny. "Your brother's about to get spanked, and hard."
"Tell him to move back further," Lily said to Scorpius, "or else he's going to look silly."
"Just throw the goddamn ball, Red," Tony grumbled. She grinned at him.
"Watch and learn, sweetheart," she said sweetly and positioned her hand, smirked at Mike and threw the ball as hard as she could. It launched from her hand perfectly, making a tight, fast spiral, arcing through the air and soaring far beyond Mike.
Tony stared at her, Mike went jogging after the ball and Vinny frowned at Rose, who, despite being much shorter, leaned on his shoulder. Scorpius grinned. "That's bullshit," Tony said darkly to Scorpius.
"It's not his fault," Lily said, patting Tony consolingly on the arm. "My older brother was a State Champion quarterback all high school and college. I'm probably better than Scorpius, too."
"So when are you picking me up?" Rose said conversationally to Vinny.
"Scor, you owe me, asshole," Vinny grumbled. The blond snorted.
"Not my fault you two got conned," Scorpius said, grinning. Mike came back with the ball.
"Damn, Red, you got an arm," he huffed. "If she plays, dibs for my team."
"Naw, but tell you what," Lily said, winking at Rose. "We'll play girls versus you boys."
"Lemme guess, your brother played defence?" Vinny said to Rose.
"Nope. My brother doesn't play football. And I can't catch or throw for shit."
"That much is true," Lily vouched. "C'mon. We'll say the end zone is that lifeguard tower." Rose grinned. "Unless you all think you four guys can't handle it, playing with advantage against two ladies."
"They probably can't," Rose murmured. "Best not to bruise their fragile little egos any more." Scorpius lifted his brows.
"You hear this?" Vinny said, incredulous, to his brother.
"No way," Mike said. Tony frowned.
"You girls going to play for real? How're we supposed to stop you without tackling?"
"Hmm, good point," Rose said, tapping her lips with a finger, then grinned at Lily who shrugged. "We're big girls, right Lily?"
"Well, you're little," the redhead teased. Rose narrowed her eyes. "But yes."
"We'll play full tackle," the auburn haired woman said, tossing her bag down, slipping off her sarong. "And if you boys can manage to focus long enough, I'll even go easy on you." Rose closed Mike's mouth for him. "Let's go."
Lily smirked at Scorpius. "You can hike it because you're cute," she teased. "The old pass and dash?" Lily whispered to Rose after they moved away.
"Yes. Give me as much of a head start as possible."
The redhead shook her head. "Scorpius is going to play dirty, and I'm willing to bet his friends will actually try. Soon as the ball gets in my hands, I'm going to pass it off."
"Ugh, I haven't stretched," Rose murmured.
"They'll just be watching your ass anyway." The two women grinned as the boys, after their own huddle, moved into position. Tony and Mike went long, both obviously expecting a big throw. Scorpius murmured something to Vinny, who smirked. "Ready?" Lily asked Scorpius, hazel eyes challenging.
"I doubt it, but let's see the bloodbath." Lily grinned. "Ready, babe?"
"Hike the ball, Scorpius." She checked out his ass a little as he bent then grinned up at Rose, who was bent, hands on knees, maybe ten feet away. Vinny was staring at her ass. "Now."
The ball hit her hands and she lifted her arm and made as if to throw hard, saw Vinny turn, and tossed it lightly to Rose instead. To Lily's relief Rose caught it and then she was on her back in the sand, Scorpius atop her. "Is this why you wanted me to hike you the ball?" he asked, dark grey eyes amused, half smile in place.
"Yes, now watch." She pointed and Scorpius moved. They sat up as Rose laughed, her short legs propelling her quickly over the sand, right past where Vinny had stopped after not seeing the ball for too long. Tony moved in but Rose stopped dead a foot from him, turned neatly on a dime around him and feinted right before going left. In two steps she was back running at top speed again, and headed as if to go left on Mike, her last obstacle, even as Vinny put on a burst of speed to try and catch her. Rose laughed, taking two fast steps to the right, turning neatly around Mike even as he lunged and ran, arms up, into the designated end zone just as Vinny caught up.
"I get the feeling you two have this down to a perfected art," Scorpius said with an arched brow, but he was grinning.
"Normally I run the ball up a bit, but I knew you'd be on me in a second," she said, grasping his proffered hand to stand, brushing sand off her ass. Scorpius pulled her right up against him and Lily groaned as he kissed her, mouth slanting over hers, tongue teasing across her lower lip and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing up against him.
"Scorpius, you're a prick," someone shouted and they broke apart. It was Vinny. "You set us up, you fucker, I know you did."
"Sore loser," Rose murmured, smirking. "I don't see the other two complaining." Rose sidled over to Tony who arched a brow. "No one likes a sore loser, right? It's actually refreshing to find a man who's not intimidated by a woman being better than him at something like sports," she murmured, casting Mike a sultry look. Lily barely refrained from laughing, because now Vinny looked doubly pissed.
"I wish I could take credit for that, but alas, I cannot. You just got good and truly whooped. By two hot chicks in bikinis no less."
"Well, we have had practice," Lily said fairly, and Rose smirked. It was a fun diversion when they happened to get together and find a group of healthy, red-blooded males playing football. "And Rose plays soccer, so she's fast."
"And nimble," said Tony. Rose smiled, giving him her baby blues with a coy smile.
"You should see the things these legs are capable of."
Lily couldn't fight the eye roll. "Well, I'm sweaty." She looked at Scorpius. "And you owe me ice cream. I still can't believe you just threw my perfectly good ice cream in the sand like that. I would've given you some if you just asked, y'know," she added.
"You laughed at me. And I doubt you'd have given me any at all, babe." He glanced at his friends. "And now, good fellows, I'm ditching. Better things to do with better company."
Lily glanced at Rose, who smirked, and then the redhead smiled at his friends. "Thanks for letting us show you up at football," she said, then looked at Tony specifically. "Fingertips on the laces, point to the tip and you'll get a tighter spiral."
He narrowed his eyes. "We'll see," he said and the redhead shrugged.
As they walked to the snackbar, Scorpius reached for her hand and Lily bit her lip, trying not to read too much into it. "This is going to sound terrible, but there's no other way to say it, and I've been thinking it since I saw you walking up the beach." She glanced over at him and he was looking at her. "I kind of missed you."
Lily's mouth parted and she licked her lips nervously. "Um…"
"Yeah," Scorpius said and Lily took a deep breath as the awkward meter skyrocketed. "This is awkward, which I figured it would be, but there it is."
Lily nodded. "It's kind of awkward unless we're having sex," she said, then felt her face go red, biting her tongue far too late.
Scorpius smirked at that. "I have that problem with most women," he murmured. "But I like you. You're kind of out there."
Lily's brows went up and her mouth fell open entirely. "Wow, okay, I'm going to hope that was intended as a compliment."
Scorpius grinned fully now. "It was certainly intended as one. I'm a little out there personally speaking, so it's a good thing."
They reached the snack bar and Lily took a deep breath. "It's funny, for awhile there you were acting nice, and then you just went and acted like a big prick, so it's good to know you're still kind of an asshole."
"Only kind of? That might be an improvement nonetheless."
Lily grinned a little despite herself. "Maybe."
They got ice cream and Lily gave a soft hum of enjoyment as she tasted her cone. It was as delicious as ever. "I really do love mint chocolate chip," Scorpius murmured once they had sat down on the sand, watching the water.
"Me too."
The blond looked over at Lily, her nipples visible in her bikini top, her tight little cutoffs barely covering her ass, her long legs stretched out. And then she sucked the top of her cone and he had to grit his teeth against the surge of arousal. "So why do you teach art instead of do it?" he asked.
She slanted him a filthy look that made him smirk. "Honestly?" she finally asked in a low voice.
"That's always preferable."
"It feels wrong to get paid for creating something by doing what I love best. And it's hard to let my pieces go. They're labour intensive and I'm kind of a crazy perfectionist, so they have to be, like, perfect before I could consider them done." She blushed a little shrugging.
Scorpius ate some ice cream. "So, do you just keep everything?"
"Not everything. I give some away as gifts, and sometimes I do commissions for family members but they only pay the cost of supplies."
"You paint portraits?"
Lily shrugged. "Sometimes. I prefer flowers best, because they're so fresh and vibrant and alive, it's nice to try to capture that. But I've done portraits, even of a dog one time, except that was from a photo I took first. Yeah right having a sitting model to paint for that. Oh, and I've done food, which is harder than you'd think." The redhead realized she was rambling and smiled to cover her embarrassment, eating her rapidly melting cone. "But yeah, that's why I teach."
"I want to see your art," he murmured. Lily blushed.
"That's like ultra personal," she replied, sucking the top of her cone once more.
"Babe, if you want to talk and eat ice cream and actually finish it this time, you have to stop doing that." Lily glanced up, frowning. "I'm literally thinking about one thing when you put your mouth like that." The redhead rolled her eyes.
"You're literally depraved," she said, but smiled a tiny bit and felt her nipples get rock hard.
"And you just said you've let other people see your art. Why not me?"
Lily shrugged. Matt had seen a few of her pieces, and he'd pushed her to try selling them, but she couldn't consider it. He hadn't understood that after all the love and devotion she put in, it was as hard as selling a child to a stranger for her. "It's not anything major," she said and shrugged. "But if you want, I suppose."
Scorpius frowned. "My bullshit meter just went through the roof. I have a feeling you're like super good, but you don't realize it."
The redhead glared fiercely. "I know I'm good, but it's not open for debate. I do my thing, I teach, and everybody wins, end of story."
"If you insist babe. Seriously, though, you're fucking sexy when you're mad. Your eyes get all hot and your sexy mouth gets all set and a little pouty, and it really makes me want to kiss you."
"Like I've said, one track mind."
Scorpius smirked. "In my own defense, it's been awhile."
Lily snorted and glanced over, looking amused. "A month is awhile. You were gone for like, three days." His smirk widened.
"And after having you, that feels like awhile." She blushed. "Like I've said," he murmured, leaning in close, making her swallow instinctively, because he was sexy, and she was really attracted to him, and the primal lust for his body flared. "You get me so fucking hot, I can't explain it." Lily bit her lip, her bright hazel eyes flicking down for a beat. "And I like you."
She smirked. "I dislike you less, honestly."
Scorpius arched a brow. "I hope that was intended as a compliment."
"Sure, if you want," she replied, then grabbed his cone and put the whole of the ice cream in her mouth, sucking it into a little pointed tip as she withdrew it, then handed it back. "Hmm, mine tastes better somehow."
Scorpius grinned. "I'm closer," he murmured.
Lily smiled. "Can we walk?"
"If you want."
