Chapter 28
A soft knocking came at the door as I slid my robe around my shoulders.
"Yes?"
"It's Sirius."
I smiled with mischief. "I'll just bet it is."
The muffled voice replied, "You know, that joke never gets old."
I opened the door. "Try living with the name Willow Rosenberg during elementary school. I was known as Pillow Toesareburned for two years before they knocked it off."
He had a shocked expression. "They would never say that."
"I'm totally serious."
"No, I'm Sirius -- you're Pillow."
I shifted my eyes to the side with mock distain.
He slipped in and closed the door. I just realized I was trapped with a man in a bedroom after almost doing the nasty with his Godson. I'm guessing he's either not very pleased or ...
His hands were on my shoulders and his lips pressed firmly against mine.
Okay, I'm guessing the latter. I returned his passion with a bit of my own until he pulled back.
"Pardon me ... I lost control for a moment," he stammered. "With what happened in the basement ..."
I know I was blushing a little bit. "Kinda on the porn side, huh?"
He closed his eyes and shook his head. "It wasn't that. It was Faith egging you two on."
My brow pinched. "I couldn't hear anything that might have been said. Harry and I were kinda busy."
He spun to his side. "We were all fixed in our positions watching you. Tonks had Kingsley pulled back when you took off your robe. Xander averted his eyes and I just stood there gawking like a first year on the boat to Hogwarts.
"And when you sat on ... well Faith just cheered you on saying some nonsense like 'Ride that Stallion, Red.'"
I covered my mouth trying not to laugh, trying in vain to look serious.
"I assume she meant Harry was the stallion."
I nodded my head in understanding and started tearing up.
"And then she sang some strange tune, kind of a 'baum chicka bow bow.'" He stopped his description. "You're laughing at me!"
I let the charade fall and smiled broadly, "I am not."
He stood upright and squared his shoulders. The air around him screamed quiet dignity.
"Were you jealous?" I asked, with just a little bit of tease.
His eyes dropped slightly to me, "Of course not. The child is my Godson. You were helping him ..."
I scoffed, "Didn't feel like a child when I was sitting on him."
Now he was shocked. "Willow!"
I rolled my eyes. "I'm teasing you, Sirius." I tangled my fingers in his robe pulling him down to me. "I kinda like my partners with a little more experience."
He was still rigid when I kissed him, but eventually his lips softened and gave way to my gentle ministrations.
"Minx," he whispered into my mouth.
"I knew you were jealous, " I returned.
"Just eager."
"A good looking guy like you? I bet you've had your share over the last few years."
He pulled back. "Hold on a minute. Faith hasn't told you about me?"
"Um ..."
"About Azkaban?"
Nope. "Uh, no."
He cupped my face in his hands. "Willow, I've been in Azkaban prison, falsely charged for thirteen years. I only escaped two years ago and I've spent the better part of that time on the run, trapped in this house and in hell."
My brow furrowed. "What are you saying?"
He gathered his courage. "I haven't been with a woman in over fifteen years."
The thought was staggering. "Goddess!" Then it finally clicked. "And now you want ..."
"I want it to be you, Willow. I want it always to be you."
I closed my eyes and buried my face in his chest. I knew it wasn't about sex. He was free now and could have any woman he wants, for the most part. But he wanted me.
I pulled away and dragged him with me until the back of my legs bumped against the bed. My robe fell from my arms to the floor.
"Willow, I didn't mean ... you don't have to do this."
My eyes glistened and I shook my head. "Shhh."
"But ..."
I stopped his lips with the tips of my fingers. "Lock the door."
He fumbled for his wand and pointed it at the doorknob. "Securus!"
My hand trailed down his arm to the wand. "I don't think you'll need this anymore. We'll make our own magic."
