There was a shift. Nothing. Another shift. Silence.
Two stiffled laughs came from next to the bed; one of the laughs belonging to a dark haired sex god of the school. The other belonged to the book smart yet stunningly attractive as well boy of the school. Two true members of the Marauders. The boy they were hovered over was their leader; the sex god of the school. His black messy hair falling in his face; one strand sticking to his forehead.
The boys poured the bucket of ice water from the black lake on James. Faded blue eyes opened immediatly accompanied by a deep yell. His voice had changed; they were after all in 7th year now.
"Sirius! Remus!" he said chasing them around in only his boxers. He grabbed two pillows on his way.
Sirius jumped over his bed laughing like a mad man. Remus was running for dear life.
"Rawr I'll bite.. Bwaha!" Remus yelled. "Hehe." he added.
"Just cuz your a werewolf doesn't mean anything! Full moon was last week." James said smartly and threw a pillow that hit the boy square in the face. He locked onto Sirius.
The shaggy haired boy gulped and yelped like a girl as the pillow hurtled past him. He dogded it.
James growled and got another one. Remus and Sirius bolted out the door down the stairs. Then were in the common room somewhere. So there James was; a pillow in hand. No shirt; no nothing just boxers.
"What in Merlins name is--!"
But James instinctivly threw the pillow at the person who'd yelled. Then he gulped. Oh no.
Lily's face heated. "What was that for--" but she cut herself off this time.
James then grinned. "Never seen me in my underwear then Lily?" he said and tilted his head with a smirk.
Lily couldn't talk. His body was so... perfect. She shivered; hoping he wouldn't see but he did. And he only grinned wider. She saw his muscle flinch as he locked eyes on the moving person. Sirius. He snatched up the pillow from where it'd fell next to the couch after hitting Lily in the face.
He ran fast. Really fast. Like a deer.. or a stag Lily thought. How right she was.
James knocked Sirius down and started beating him with the pillow over the head. Sirius was laughing. Remus was laughing his insides right out; so hard he was on the floor.
James got up breathing heavily and made a triumphant look. Then he turned back to Lily. He gave her that look. The one that said; 'I wanna do stuff with you right now' and she froze.
He jumped over the back of the couch; so he was now sitting next to Lily. "So." he said with that same look. Lust. She loved it. But she still couldn't speak.
"Mm." she said; her voice wavering. "M'ya?" she asked. It was the closest she could get to words right now.
James gave a short laugh. Then he looked at her like he did last night; at the party. A real smile cracked over those die for lips and he tilted his head a bit. Lily felt a wave run throughout her body. Good god; it was wanting? She wanted him. Great. That was just lovely.
James sensed it; he saw her shiver the slightest. Being a stag has its serious quirks. He raised a brow; breaking that real smile that he never gave. He never smiled. Not genuinly. He always found it hard to; when he knew that there was simply no reason to smile with what happened in his life. He used to. Before... well--
Sirius thwaked James with a pillow; Remus thwaked Lily and to Lily's horrow she ended up on James.. on the floor..
She could feel his body against hers. He grinned down at her; and did something she'd never of expected. He just got up. She protested for a fraction of a second; going for his arm but stopped quickly. He noticed it but didn't acknowlage it.
What was going on?
----------
"Mr. Potter. Mr. Black. Be ... quiet!" came the voice of their Transfigurations teacher. McGonagall glared.
They grinned their sorries and looked back at their books; still murmering. McGonagall had gotten up by now; walking around the room.
James was the star student for Transfigurations; brilliant he was. Sirius and him laughed; stiffled though; at a joke he'd just said.
McGonagall grabbed his text book and thwaped him over the head. "Shh." she said and glared hard. She love him as her student but my gods he could be agrivating.
Lily burst through the door. "Sorry Sorry SORRY! I know." she said as McGonagall opened her mouth. She closed it and pointed to the seat next to... James. Urr! she thought.
James was smartest in this class; so he'd been paired to help her whenever possible. Just the day before; right before the game started.
Lily sat down next to him, and he smiled over at her. She hoped it was real; but nope. This time it was fake. You could plainly see. She felt a wave a pitty roll over her. What had happened to change his full hearted smiles into dead ones? She was the only one who could tell they were fake anyways.
James whispered in her ear, "Need the notes?" but instead of pulling back he stayed there; by her neck.
Lily shook her head. His breath heated her neck. James grinned; and she could feel it.
He abruptly moved away as McGonagall passed by.
"Wait. I need the notes." Lily said finally back to attention. This was the only class James took notes in. Lily needed them. Badly. She was always late for this class.
James pulled them out of the book he'd placed them in. "There you are." he said and went back to laughing with Sirius. Remus had joined them a minute ago. They were all stiffling laughs about something.
McGonagall had enough. She came over to them. Sighing, she grabbed up the heavy text book. Then as she shook her head she prepared herself. She did this every day.
The boys then all laughed again. She took the second text book; and twaped Sirius and James hard over the head. They groaned. Remus laughed at them, but then McGonagall whacked him upside the head. She couldn't help but smile as the bell rang for them to leave.
Lily was grinning at James. He looked over to her rubbing his head tenderly. She stiffined. He gave her that musky lust filled look again. She swallowed hard; noticably hard; and exited the Transfigurations room.
----------
"Wooooooooooooooooooooo. Woo woo woo."
Lily jumped. Sirius had just been cheering at nothing; wooping and wooing. She groaned. Why couldn't he just.. shut-up? She opened her mouth to yell at him; but then James came down. She stopped dead.
His hair was damn amazing; going in different directions here and there.. one peice sticking slightly to his forehead. His lips were supporting a damn good lookin' grin and his eyes were glinting with some sort of anxiousness. His white school shirt; was as always half tucked in half untucked. His tie hanging loosely around his neck, and his pants a bit baggy. He looked so sexy, Lily thought as her fear came true. James noticed her looking, and locked gazes. Now how was she supposed to look away?
Sirius had jolted upstairs to take a shower after saying "I think I stink!" and Remus was reading in his room. The common room was empty because most were up in their rooms; or out on the grounds.
James tilted his head; inquiring as to what she was looking at. He purposely looked more intently at her.
Lily shivered again, damn. He saw it. A grin threatened to come accross those damn sexy features of his.
Before Lily knew it James was sitting next to her stretching. Lily turned to him. He smelt ... well like James. It was unbelievable how he did it; she just died every time she smelt him. Not like she actually sniffed him; thank Merlin.
Lily was looking pretty good herself; James couldn't stop staring. She wore her white school shirt untucked; the first two buttons open. Her firey hair was waved and hanging on that damnable neck line of hers. He shivered too; which was odd. He usually made girls shiver. Woah, he thought.
Lily was shocked. He shivered? At who?
You, you dimwit... said herself to herself.
James snapped back to reality. "So. I guess I'll let you continue on with you work then?" he asked. He was closer to her. She could feel soft breathes against her chin and part of her neck. It drove her mad.
"Mm." she mustered. Barely.
James leaned in closer to her; dangerously close. Daring her to do something. Move. Talk. Anything. His eyes searched hers for something; all the while still filled with that look. That look of pure lust; longing to have her. He found what he was looking for and froze his eyes on hers. She felt that very same way; and she saw how he saw it. Merlin.. that was not a good thing. "So I'll see you?" he said; in a low voice.
Lily took a sharp intake of breath. "You'll... you'll see me." she said nodding slightly.
James grinned and looked at her neck. Then met her eyes again. "You know, your really a beautiful girl." he said; he was closer. She could feel his perfect breaths against her. His lips were close.
"Th--Thanks." she stuttered in a whisper. She looked at his lips breifly; god she wanted this but... well there was no but. There wasn't a but! She wanted this; she'd always had a reason why not to and now she couldn't find one.
James leaned in and closed the gap between them. His lips met hers gently; but as soon as he saw she wasn't pulling back he deepened it. His tounge searched for entrance to her mouth; lightly grazing her lower lip. She took a sharp breath and accepted. Merlin, he was amazing. An amazing, truely amazing, kisser. Then as soon as she was ready to give herself up for him; right there; on that couch in the Gryffindor Common Room; he pulled back. Leaving her with that feeling. That longing.
"Your quite welcome Lily Evans." he whispered huskily in her ear and grazed her neck with his lips. She breathed heavily; shivering. She couldn't stop. It wasn't noticable; but James knew how to read her. He knew how to read her like a pre-school book.
He got up and grinned; walking off into his dorm.
Lily sat there; longing for more. God she was wanting him so bad. Why did he torment her? Why her? She looked up at the boy's dorm stairs watching James' shadow disappear up the steps. She shuddered. Her eyes glazed over with lust; she went back into her dorm. She needed a shower; then sleep. Long sleep. Saturday was tomorrow. She didn't know how much harder it was for James to do that.
He stood in the shower; letting the cold water ripple down his bare back. His eyes were filled with lust; and that kiss left him wanting her so much. As much as he loved to see her like that; he hated to feel like it back. God. She was irresistable. Perfect.
He felt much better after the shower; and slipped on his boxers. Sliding into his bed, he sighed. She wanted him back though. He saw it in her. Saw her eyes flickering with a small lust. He was the only one who could read her like that. Only one who could make her feel that way. He loved it; yet it made him feel the same way somehow. He ran his hands through his heavenly hair and drifted off to sleep.
I hope you like it. I had it up today; which is right after I put up the first chapter yesterday. Yes its a chapter; this is a story not a One Shot. (:
R&R. Thanks!
