Consequences
James lowered Lily onto her feet. Both of them were panting as the aftershocks of their climaxes raced through their bodies. They straightened out their clothes still not saying anythi"ng.
"Lily" started James
"Hey, Lily...why is this door locked?" shouted Mari, "Alohamora" then she came into the room, "Oh sorry I didn't realise you had a paitent, oh it's only you, James"
"Yeah, we're just finishing. James I need you to sign that form on the desk" said Lily
"Okay" said James then he went over to the desk to sign the form
"So what's up?" Lily asked Mari.
"Oh I need some more forms" said Mari, "and some romantic advice"
Lily almost laughed, 'me give romantic advice, I couldn't even tell my own husband about... My love life is so screwed up. And James is staring at me and I don't know what they hell I'm going to do'
"Earth to Lily" said Mari waving her hand in front of Lily's face.
"Oh sorry I'll just get you the forms and then we'll talk" said Lily snapping out of her daze.
"Uh James this is sort of girl talk you're welcome to stay but..." said Mari
"Um, no I've got to go I've got a staff meeting" mumbled James, "I'll see you later"
"See ya"
James left the room, Lily sat behind her desk.
"So what's the problem?" asked Lily
Mari started to tell her, about how Amos Diggory had asked her out but she was sorta seeing a guy and she really liked him, but wasn't sure how he felt about her.
Then something caught Lily's eye on her desk. On top of James' form was a scrap piece of parchment.
Meet me at 3pm at Starbucks
James
--------------------------------
3PM THAT DAY
Lily went into Starbucks and immediately spotted James
"Hi, sorry I'm late. I had to fill out some paperwork" she said.
"It's okay, I got you an espresso"
"Thanks"
"So, uh..." said James, "shit I thought that once I saw you I'd know what to say"
"This is about what happened earlier"
"Yeah" said James "clearly there's still an attraction and a shit load of chemistry between us"
"Stating the obvious" muttered Lily
"I heard that" said James, "anyway what I'm saying is...shit I don't know that the hell I'm saying"
"You were going to say that we shouldn't let it happen again and that we should just get on with our lives"
"No I wasn't" smirked James, "But I knew that that was what you wanted me to say"
Lily just shrugged trying to look indifferent.
"Cause that would be the sensible thing to say" James continued proceeding cautiously remembering what Lily had said that morning about not being ready for all the emotional stuff, "But when have I ever been sensibile"
"Hmmm it was fantastic" said Lily
"It was bloody amazing. Especially since it was the first time in 6 weeks that we..."
"Wow has it really been 6 weeks. Seems like a lifetime ago"
"It was only 6 weeks"
"Shit that's the longest I've ever went without a..." said Lily
"Multipule Orgasm" offered James proudly. Lily had lost her virginity to him.
"Yes, don't get too bigheaded. The first time it only happened once" said Lily who couldn't help but smile at the gleeful expression on James' face
"Still, that's 6 years of at least 2 orgasms a day"
"Actually it averaged at about 4" said Lily quietly
"4 a day or each time?" James enquired
"Each time" said Lily grudgingly
"Wow" laughed James, "I didn't know I was that good"
"Well, like I said don't get too bigheaded"
"Awww don't be like that. You were the best sex I ever had"
"I know"
They fell into a comfortable silence
"You're not ready, are you?" asked James breaking the silence.
"For what?"
"The inevitable talk we have to have about what went wrong between us"
"No, I'm not" said Lily, "Are you?"
"Honestly no, my head is still fucked up"
"Mine too" said Lily, "but to be honest I don't think I can go another 6 weeks with another..."
"Orgasm" offered James
"Yeah. But the thing is... Why am I telling you this?" said Lily realising how weird it was talking to her almost-ex-husband.
"You know why? What is it?"
"I... uh just don't feel ready to... with anyone else"
"Me neither"
"Well I guess there is only one solution" sighed Lily
"Yep wanking and dildos" said James
"Do you always have to say the most inappropriate things in public places. Those old women nearly choked on their early bird specials" hissed Lily
James turned and looked over to the table next to them and saw two old ladies whispering intently and giving him side glares.
"Yes ladies I wank and she uses dildos, vibrating rabbit ones are her favourite I believe" he said calmly as if it was the most normal thing in the world to say.
The old ladies just looked shocked and then they whispered more fiercely. Lily grabbed James' hand and dragged him outside.
"I can't believe you just did that" she said
"Well serves the old hags right, listening in like that" said James
"Oh come on, lets go home" laughed Lily before apparating her and James just outside of their flat doors, (they couldn't apparate inside because of the protection charms in place).
"Right so..." started James, Lily cut him off with a kiss.
Although shocked he instantly responded pulling her to him. She put her fingers in his belt loops and tugged on them, urging him to come with her.
They made it into the girl's flat, luckily nobody was home, they made it into Lily's bedroom without breaking the kiss. Lily pushed James onto her bed and got on top of him.
"No, Lily wait" said James breaking the kiss
"What?" said Lily the she started kissing his neck and unbuttoning his shirt.
"Lily, what is this? What are we doing?"
"Well I would have thought that was obvious" said Lily who had now taken off his shirt and thrown it onto the floor.
"Lily"
"Yes" she said, now straddling him, then she started to slowly unbutton her black blouse. James only saw the top of a red lacy bra.
He was now so hard he thought his trousers were going to burst from the strain.
"Do you want me to stop?" she asked seductively, knowing he wasn't going to say yes.
"Right that is it" said James and before Lily could even blink, James had reversed their positions so that he was on top. "A man can only take so much torture, love" he said softly
He unbuttoned the rest of her blouse and threw it onto the floor.
"How did you know?" he said eyeing the red lacy bra lustfully, "my only weakness" he slid his hand up her skirt, "maybe not. What happened to those gorgeous panties I enjoyed taking off so much?"
"They're in my bag" moaned Lily, "Why, do you want me to put them on?"
"No it's much easier this way" he said practically ripping her skirt off.
"Hmm I think it's time for those trousers to come off, before that zip bursts"
James happily obliged
---------------------------------------
LATER...
James collapsed next to Lily exhausted and panting
"Wow" he panted
"Yeah, wow"
"How'd I do?"
"Higher than average" Lily replied
"How many?"
"6"
"Bloody Hell"
"I know"
"Lily" said James getting serious, "What are we going to do? Neither of us are ready for... but I can't..."
"I know"
"So..."
"A physical relationship, nothing more" said Lily
"Just sex, nothing else. What about friendship?"
"Of course I just meant everything the same but..."
"But sex"
"Yes" confirmed Lily
"Maybe when we're ready it might turn into something more"
"Maybe or it might cause more pain. I don't know and I can't make any promises. It's up to you take it or leave it"
"Okay but two conditions, obviously we're not going to tell everyone" said James
"Obviously that goes without say"
"And two you can't date, while"
"emmmm alright agreed"
"Agreed"
