Lily had danced with James until she could barely stand. James helped her over to the door by supporting her body with his own. "Do you want to go back to Hogwarts?" Lily shook her head and replied in a hollow tone, "I have a place in town where I stay when I come here."
She gave him directions then her body just decided it had had enough and collapsed. She went unconscious and limp in James' arms so that he scooped her up off her feet and followed her directions to a small cottage just outside the town.
He undid the locking charm with surprising ease that told him that it was something more than it looked but waved it off since Lily was out cold in his arms. He walked through the place until he found her bedroom, done up in bold red, green, and blue with green satin sheets on the bed.
He gently laid her down on the sheets and undressed her. He pointedly ignored the heating of his blood at her naked body as he slipped the green sheet over her. He then stood beside her bed unsure of himself.
He didn't want her to be alone like this but would she appreciate him staying with her tonight or would she take offense and kick his ass? He didn't know which she would prefer so he went with instinct and took off his shirt and slipped into bed beside her. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her into the cradle of his body.
He buried his face into her hair and slipped off to sleep in the hope that she would be ok when she woke up.
When Lily woke up her first sensation was pain. From the exertion she had given her body the previous night her entire body was cramped. The second sensation was warmth. A hard body was pressed against her back and a muscled arm was wrapped around her waist.
She knew it was James a moment later after she considered how she was going to get it off. For a moment she forgot herself and turned in his arms to bury her face in the crease at his neck and shoulder. His warm body soothed her tensed muscles and had her relaxing.
She didn't know what it was about his boy but he warmed her insides and, for once in her life, made her feel safe. Carefully she slipped out from under his arm and stood. The world did a quick 360 before she caught herself and walked from the room.
She went to the kitchen and grimaced at the refrigerator. She knew that the only things that thing contained was a bottle of emergency whisky that could kill, and a three-week-old peanut butter sandwich.
She went to the phone and dialed in a number, "hey Marco. Yea its Lily, um can you pick up some things… Yea I forgot again. He he I know but I was busy! Thank you soooooo much Marco! I'll pay you double for it. Love ya!"
She dropped the phone on the cradle and turned to see James leaning in the doorway of the bedroom. His hair was as messy as ever and his eyes were half shut with sleep. Lily's blood heated as she looked at him in his rumpled jeans.
He ran a hair through his messy hair and glared at her, "its too early for you to be up." Lily managed a wan smile, "I'm a early riser. Hey…um…thanks for last night…I kind of needed it…" She broke off, her face going an interesting shade of pink as her emerald eyes suddenly found something extremely interesting on the floor.
James raised his eyebrows. The immortal Lily Evans embarrassed? Well he was going to pay this up to the fullest. "Yea about that, its time for you to pay up for my night of suffering by sleeping beside you with not a stitch on your body."
Temper kindled in her eyes and she looked up from the floor just as he reached her and crushed her mouth to his. All thoughts of a retort flew out of Lily's head as if they had never been.
All she knew was his firm lips on her, his taste that was so unique, his scent of crushed sage. So for the first time, the very first time, she surrendered. James sensed it as her body molded itself to him.
All of the blood in his body went below his belt, as did his reason. His hands were at her waist as he shoved her against the wall. His mouth took from her what she didn't even know she had as his hands skimmed her body to mold her breasts.
His thumbs flicked her now taunt nipples through the thin fabric of her halter. His mouth left the haven of her mouth and littered kisses along her jaw to trail down to the slim column of her neck.
Lily moaned at the sensations battering her body and mind and then gasped as James took a not so gentle nip where her shoulder and neck met. His quick hands had the strings of her halter undone so he could feel the flesh of her breasts. His mouth traveled lower to the swell of her breasts.
Lily's hands were in his hair as he took one taunt rosy nipple into the moist cavern of his mouth. Lily let out a strangled cry and arched towards them. James gave equal attention to the other and returned to her mouth where he was about to take off the pitiful excuse for a skirt.
Then someone knocked hard on the door. At first the sound didn't register but it persisted and Lily pulled away from James, "its Marco." She fumbled with the strings of her halter and raced to the door.
James listened to her fast conversation in Spanish with the man at the door as he tried to calm his raging blood. Dammit this was not the time to become a hormone ruled teenager.
Lily was still recovering from the pervious night and did not need his frustrated desire to add to her list of worries. Taking a deep breath he listed off ten ways to kill Snape and when he opened them he could breathe again.
Lily walked into the room carrying four large brown bags filled to the bursting with groceries. She mumbled a muffled, "help me" and James went to take two of the bags. Neither said anything as they put the groceries in the fridge and cupboards.
When they finished James turned and opened his mouth to apologize but Lily placed a piece of duck tape on his mouth, "knowing you, you will interrupt me so this will work. If you had dared to apologize to me about earlier then I would have to kill you.
Those few moments of pleasure you gave me let me escape into something as simple as 'want' for a few moments. We won't make love quite yet for I believe there are something's that can't be ignored yet and I already care for you more than I should, James, so for now can we be friends with benefits (I love that term. Don't know why but I do.)?
Please I really need a friend who won't judge me now." James looked at her and saw the need in her eyes. He nodded and indicated the duct tape. "Thank you!" She threw her arms around his neck and gave him a hug that almost cracked his ribs and then yanked the duct tape off.
He gave a yelp of pain and rubbed his mouth. She gave a wicked grin and then sobered, "I think its time you know what is going on." James opened his mouth to protest but Lily brought up the duct tape again and he shut his mouth with a click of teeth.
She nodded and went into the living room and sat down. He did too but she didn't put down the duct tape. When he raised an eyebrow she smiled, "silence is golden but duct tape is silver." (I saw that on one of my friends' shirt and loved it. I couldn't resist using it).
