328. The One With the Greatest Boyfriend Of

Author's Note:

This chapter is very heavily Theo and Sebastian.

Reviews and Comments: To darkhk: There will be LOTS of Theo and Sebastian this chapter. To the Mandalorian terminator: Well, I didn't have to add Snape being tortured, but it fit in with the Valentine's Day theme so… *shrugs* Not quite Bolton level (I don't think), but yes, three months as Crouch's plaything. Harry and Ginny are definitely only to get hotter, I can promise you that! Thank you! To Chiku11: I know, even I feel a bit bad for Snape. Ah well. Thank you! To Cassiopeia Anastasia Black: Thank you for saying my characters and scenes are so realistic. Neville and Hannah are looking towards the future, Ron definitely is protective over Hermione (which I love), and Luna — she's so fun to just add in here and there, give us the perspective we needed. Having Zee check in with Hermione just made sense since they both have scars from Bellatrix. Yes, I intentionally did make the chapter name all cute, which was fun lol. Crouch is a very dark character and I enjoy making him so. He always surprises me with where he goes next! Thank you very much for your kind words!

To scrappy8: Thank you! And well, everyone had a good day except for Snape LOL. To tryagain4me: He does reach new levels of dark, doesn't he? There is lots more Theo and Sebastian coming! Thank you! To alix33: Thank you! To Katie2001: Thank you! To NikkiWeasleyPotter: Thank you! I thought the wait was definitely worth it, and trust me, so much more Hinny smut coming your way! Now that they know, they can't keep their hands off of each other! Aww, Tonks would definitely have loved seeing Theo and Sebastian on the sled! Thank you for saying you love how twisted and crazy I've written Crouch. He does have madness in him that borders on dangerous and he constantly surprises me. Thank you! To Sahil: Thank you for dropping a review! I'm so glad you're enjoying the Hinny character development and slow burn! Thank you so much! To wolfjinx15475: Well, you can only drown in so much fluff and smut before the storm sneaks in. I'm glad you thought the chapter name was about Valentine's Day and technically it was about flowers, just not in the way you imagined. Thank you for being excited for Drastoria. They are still a long way off, but I thought we should show a glimpse of them getting acquainted. Hinny really are so stinking cute and perfect, I love writing them! We will see more of Nevannah and Romione soon as well. As to Theobas, thank you so much for saying that "the chemistry between them, the smallest of looks and touches, damn, this has to be one of the most carefully written couples" you've "ever read about. No wonder you had us hooked from the moment Theo bumped into Sebastian butt-first" — thank you so much! It means so much to me that people are so supportive over Theobas because even though Theo is technically a canon character, I've created him and Sebastian is an OC, so that means so much to me! Thank you!

To Miriel: Thank you! Ginny is definitely enjoying the love making with Harry and she's going to enjoy a whole lot more of it! Thanks for loving Theobas! As to Snape, well… *whistles and wanders off.* To puttyman24: I know, Snape definitely needs to be rescued soon. Thank you! To Nuno Neves: Thank you! Hermione is very strong considering what she's been through and Ron is the one to help her get through it. Hinny are definitely not going to be keeping their hands off of each other now, even worse than before for sure lol. Thanks for loving the shower sex scene! It was hot! Crouch is so deranged and he constantly surprises me with what he comes up with next! Thank you! To Sara: Thank you! Yes, a small hint of Drastoria. Thanks for loving the Hinny and Theobas scenes. Thank you so much! To IWANTTOSLEEP: I'm sorry that I made you feel so bad for Snape that you cried! I hope your exam went well. Thank you!

To ascfan: Luna definitely has no shame and it's what I love about her! Crouch thinks up these awful things, not me, he just takes over my brain! Characters write their own stories you know? Harry is definitely going to be very distracted by Ginny! Thank you! To Slaidback: Thank you! Requesting a slow painful death for Crouch — noted. He is definitely seriously offed up! Thank you! To Wolf's scream: Neville is trying to consider the source, yes. Never been on a tandem bike, but sledding definitely big here in Canada. I think Snape definitely has learned that death is not the worst thing that can happen. Thank you! To GODMISHA: Thanks for saying the Ron and Hermione moments was so wholesome! As to the video you sent, you can't send links through the site, if you want to share it with me I suggest you send an ask through tumblr. Thank you! Thank you for the second review! I don't know why people don't love Remus either, he is the best! Thanks for saying I'm the best fanfic writer! To pix25: Thank you! To ellyann13: Sebastian definitely understands that no everyone who has the Dark Mark is evil. We'll know more about Goyle soon. Ron always knows when Hermione needs a break, he's the perfect man to help her balance. Ron definitely had some plans for Hermione lol. Yes, the winter festival has brought out the child within and was exactly the kind of fun afternoon Sebastian needed. Yes, Ginny was as much of a virgin as Harry. The library is heavenly. I like the idea of Draco wanting to learn more languages and doing it through Shakespeare. I think both Draco and Astoria were startled by each other's presence more than anything. Thank you very much!

To Derpdude32: Such a shame you haven't been able to break the fourth wall, guess you'll have to wait and find out what happens to Snape like everyone else. Thank you! To Mutt N Feathers: Thank you! To CherrySara: Happy to help with a distraction from cramps (I could use that today myself). Yes, Sebastian is trying to get Goyle released from Azkaban! Sebastian is very mad for Theo indeed! Thanks for saying the Hamlet told it all about Draco and Astoria, I thought it was a sweet touch of common interest. Thank you for loving my Hinny smut. Crouch is definitely disgusting! Thank you! To yunkol76: Aww, thanks for saying you missed my story a lot when you took a few weeks off from reading. Thanks for loving the steamy chapter (minus Crouch). Crouch is definitely a big bag of mixed nuts! Ha, yes, reading at work is a bit distracting. Thank you! To Speedyconzalis: Thank you! Draco is branching out and challenging himself. Thank you! To Jimbo: Thank you! Ginny definitely took control of Harry in the shower (and he liked it). There is more Remus and Tonks coming your way (with smut) but it's a few chapters away. I currently have up to chapter 341 completed with a few scattered scenes between 342-343, and 3/4s of chapter 344 done. More Remadora to come, promise! Thank you!

To EnigmaticEmperor: Sledding is fun! Of course, it's now spring here so sledding is not an option. Greg definitely atoned for his actions with Kata Novak and Sebastian wants to help him get free. I'm so glad people love my Gransy! Yes, still a long while off for Drastoria, but I wanted to show a glimpse. Astoria isn't afraid to be snarky to Draco! Zee talking to Hermione definitely helped her and helped Zee too, I think. Ron really is the greatest boyfriend and so sweet. Ginny has overcome her fears and I don't think she would have been able to do it so well if it wasn't for Harry and the absolute trust and love and respect they have for each other. She is the best! I love Theo's reaction to things! Thank you! To AQuickRead91: Thank you! What's coming? Lot's of stuff lol. To 19HuffleClaws: Snape definitely doesn't deserve this. People are wondering where Snape is, but all they know is that he is currently missing and since the only people he had been in contact with from the Order was Ted and Andromeda, no one has any idea of the situation he has found himself in. Thank you very much for saying ASC is your favourite fanfic story ever! You're too sweet! To BadWolfKris: I know, poor Snape. We will have to wait and see! Thank you!

To shuweet: Thank you! I know, the ending ruined the sweetness of the chapter. Lots more Hinny and Theobas to come! Drastoria is still a long ways out! To marauders_mowopapr: I'm glad no one guessed the title reference! Zee mothers all of Harry's friends and I love it. Thank you for saying Harry's speech about virginity was chef's kiss, he is amazing. Thank you! To AnaGPotter: Thank you! The vomit emojis for Crouch really do say a lot LOL. To PurpleLotus: Thank you! As to Snape, we'll see. To katelyn453: Thank you! To Mackie919: No one expected the chapter to end like that lol (not even me). Thanks for saying Harry and Ginny are so adorable and that everything happening between them is well written. That makes me very happy! Thank you! I especially love everyone enjoying Zee checking in on Hermione.

To Bellmel: My chapter titles sometimes tell nothing, which I like lol. Snape does need to die, but Crouch definitely does too. A taste of his own medicine would certainly be nice. Yes, I think Theo and Bas really did need to have that discussion about the realities of his job and what it means for their new relationship. It's important for Theo to understand what he is getting into, but in the end, he already knows Bas is worth it. It does show maturity on Theo's part and it shows how this relationship is different from any in the past. Thank you for saying Zee is such a sweetheart and checking in on Hermione to show that she is struggling as well. Hermione needed to know that. Aww, Neville isn't worried he's happy, he's just worried that being this happy means something bad is going to happen lol. Yes, Harry knows he is going to marry her one day and yes, the only doubts he has about the future is the uncertainty of the war and darkness. Ginny is worried as well and neither of them really want to think about what ifs. As to an avalanche of Hinny smut coming your way — absolutely! Thank you very much for such an amazing review! To ravenclaw_rockchick: I wish I could go sledding too, but alas, no more snow for a few more months I'm afraid. Thanks. I'm glad you're enjoying the torture scene as to where I get the ideas from, no idea, Crouch makes them up while I write. He's a terrible influence! Thank you!

To Gigi87: Wow! Thank you for saying you love for Theo and Sebastian have pushed them to second place in your ranking of couples, thank you! As to bringing in hockey, I couldn't resist, eh? I completely agree with you on Ron and Hermione, they balance each other and compliment each other in just the right way. Hermione has a great heart and the three of them look out for each other. Harry definitely asked Zee to check in with Hermione, it was a total Harry move. He cares about her and knows that he could get away with having Zee check in as opposed to himself. He's sneaky like that. As to Zee, she definitely was always a nurturing mother hen, but more to animals, and now she's adopted Harry's friends and she loves it. As to her accent, definitely a mix, but I think more English and Scottish than Russia. Thank you for saying Harry is so cute, he really is! He definitely didn't want to inflict any kind of pain on her and was so worried he might be hurting her. Ginny is obviously trying to stay positive about the war and Voldemort, but for sure she's terrified. As to what Harry wrote in his will, no, I don't think you will find out but I'll never say never sometimes my own story surprises me. Harry doesn't have to live up to Sirius' expectation, when it comes to Ginny, he is a sex god lol. You're welcome for reminding you of who's who in Malfoy Manor, I know there's a lot of characters so I thought it was important. The manor really does have everything. I said that Shakespeare was a wizard a long while ago. Thank you for loving my version of Blaise! He is totally cocky and confident and self-absorbed while still being loyal to those he cares about. Aww, I love that he reminds you of one of your best friends, he definitely will never let you down even though he's an asshole lol. As to Daphne and Blaise being a couple, we'll have to see. Same thing goes for Astoria's blood curse. And ew, I would never put Draco with Ginny because hello Harry and secondly, I don't mind Dramione but no, Hermione belongs with Ron!

Thank you so much for loving my Gransy! They are a couple that were very fun to bring into my world. Hestia is close to her sister, but with everything she and Millie went through, they've definitely grown closer. Millicent wants to protect her above all else and yes, I think they are developing some feelings for each other. Thanks for picking up on that! Ha, I'm sorry a patient called you "dearie," that would creep me out too! Crouch is so damn creepy, I know! I'm honoured you had goosebumps and yes, the vegetable peeler. You think Harry or Remus will rescue Snape? Interesting! Thanks for such an amazing review! I had to break my response into two paragraphs and I LOVED IT! Thank you!

My posting schedule: Weekly.

Thanks to Dusk for her amazing editing skills.

As always, thank you very much for reading and please, please review!

Your reviews give me life! They give me inspiration! And they make me want to keep writing for more than just myself! Thank you for all of your continued support!

CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHT:

The One With the Greatest Boyfriend Of All Time

Harry felt like the next week went by much too fast. After returning to Hogwarts just before curfew that night, he and Ginny had spent the evening snogging before heading to bed. They made slow love in the morning when they woke and Harry was pretty sure that they were definitely getting better at it.

They went down to breakfast and then spent the day at the winter festival: Ice skating with their friends and sled racing down the hills. They took turns steering and won every single round, ignoring Ron, who declared they'd cheated when he lost for the fifth time in a row. This resulted in a snowball fight that only ended when the charm signalled it was time for lunch.

Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione sat in the courtyard designed to be a winter café and chatted over lunch as Ginny filled them in on their horseback adventure the day before. They went ice skating again in the afternoon before Hermione insisted that they had to do homework and Ginny agreed.

Sunday evening was full of homework and Ginny being naked in his bed Monday morning was only part of the reason why he'd skipped Potions. They'd started the day off with a run, like usual, and then made love in the showers of the Gryffindor changing room. Harry discovered that doing it standing up took a bit more finesse and they were both laughing before he'd finally found his footing and slid himself home. They had breakfast in the Great Hall and Ginny had talked him into walking her up to the tower room to study. His attempt to kiss her goodbye had her pulling at his robes and they ended up making love twice more before lunch.

Harry apologized to Slughorn, who waved him off and told him that he knew he'd do fine on the assignment. Harry led his Quidditch practice hard that night and spent an extra hour running drills with Ginny once he dismissed the rest of his team. Her tryout was set for the twenty-eighth of February and it seemed a lot closer now that Valentine's Day was over than it did beforehand.

Ginny pushed herself harder and by the middle of the week, Harry was spending thirty minutes after every practice massaging her muscles and doing his best to give her a pep talk on her tryout. He knew that she was nervous, but he also knew that she was ready and he couldn't wait to see her succeed.

It was why on Thursday after dinner, he only smiled as she hurried off to go for an evening walk with Theo. He knew that she needed a little break from the training and he knew that just like on Tuesday, she would drag him out to do so, practice or not. Going off with Theo meant that she would take a break and Harry thought that no one deserved it more than she did.

Ginny agreed with Harry's assessment.

This week suddenly made the end of the month look much closer than it had on Saturday. The thought terrified her, but it also thrilled her. She'd been so focused on practice and drills that she hadn't given herself time to do anything else. Other than Harry. Merlin, had she become addicted to sex in such a short time span. They hadn't gone a single day without making love at least once, usually twice, and she had no regrets. She was thankful that they were both taking the potion because Merlin knew they'd forgotten the charm, too desperate to touch each other. Every time was better than the last and each time they seemed to grow more confident with each other.

Harry was less cautious about moving at a snail's speed and Ginny had to admit, the feel of him moving inside of her was unlike anything she had ever imagined before. Nothing had really prepared her for the enormity of it. She was a bit sore, but remembering how she was sore only made her smile like a fool. It was why that evening after dinner, she had grabbed Theo's hand and asked that he go for a walk with her.

"Where are we going?" Theo asked, linking his arm through hers as they headed out onto the grounds, the snow making the darkness look bright under the night sky.

"For a walk," Ginny said. "I haven't seen you all week."

"True," Theo said. "You've been too busy flying your heart out."

Ginny bit her lip. "It's next Saturday, Theo. That's less than two weeks away."

"And you're going to do great," he assured her. "No matter what happens, it's a tryout. Very few people get that far."

She nodded. "I know. I need a distraction. How was Bas this weekend? Did you two talk?"

"Yes," Theo told her. "We went to breakfast and spent the day here at the festival. It was fun. We skated and went sledding and gods, he makes me laugh. We stayed the whole day and even had dinner in the little couples only courtyard. Then I went back to his."

Ginny raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"And we talked," Theo said. "We talked a lot in fact. We talked about what we're looking for and what this is that we're starting between us. I told him how you and I talked about his job and what it means. Bas and I talked about what we want and how we want to move forward and I think that we both came to the conclusion that this isn't some fling. We both want more from this. We talked for hours and hours and I spent the night. Nothing happened," he said quickly. "We just fell asleep together on his sofa. It was so nice. I woke up all wrapped around him and I was warm and comfortable and… safe. He makes me feel safe, Ginny. Like nothing bad can happen when he's holding me."

"That's really sweet," Ginny said.

Theo nodded. "It was sweet. We spent the morning just snogging and talking. He put on old reruns of Hidden Passions and narrated it the whole time. He gets really into it and it's hilarious. Then we went out to dinner and when he kissed me goodnight he suggested we make plans to spend this weekend together. For more."

"Oh, Theo. I am so happy for you," Ginny said, turning to hug him. "I love how happy he makes you. I love how excited and nervous you are."

He bit his lip. "I am nervous, which is stupid as it's not like I haven't done it before. I don't think that I've ever been nervous like this. Was I nervous like this with Finn?"

"No," Ginny admitted. "You were annoyed and just wanted to shag him and he kept trying to take things slow."

Theo nodded. "Right. I wasn't nervous with him, but with Bas I just… I don't want to mess this up, chick. I know it's only been barely a month, but I feel like I know him better than I know anyone else. I want it to be special when we finally… maybe after the thing with the mirrors, I'm more nervous. I don't know."

"Have you still been talking on the mirrors?"

"Yeah," he said. "Every night. We never seem to run out of things to say, but we haven't done anything like we did when he was in Berlin."

"So, this weekend then?"

Theo swallowed, his cheeks pink in the cold as much from his blush. "Yeah, this weekend."

Ginny took his arm again as they moved to trek around the Black Lake. "I had a lovely weekend myself. Harry told me that you gave him an idea for dinner?"

"Just in passing," Theo said. "He said that he wanted to do something nice for you and I said a candlelit dinner was always a nice gesture. Did he do it?"

"He did," Ginny told him. "We went to Somerset and it was outside on the balcony. He gave me this h for my necklace."

Theo admired the h&g around her neck. "Very nice. Simple. I like it. You're not the type of witch who wants the big gaudy jewellery."

"Definitely not," Ginny agreed. "But he made it so lovely. We had lunch out there and spent the morning going horseback riding, building snowmen, and having a snowball fight. Then we went in to have lunch on the balcony and we made love."

"And wait — WHAT?" Theo exclaimed. His voice shrieking so loudly that an owl hooted and flew out of a tree nearby at the disturbance.

Ginny bit her bottom lip and moved to sit on one of the big rocks by the lake. "You heard me."

Theo shook his head, his mouth still gaping open. "I need to hear it again, for clarity."

"Harry and I had sex," Ginny said.

Theo scrambled up onto the rock next to her, his hand slapping her leg. "On Saturday?" At her nod, he narrowed his eyes and poked her repeatedly in her side. "And you're just telling me now! What happened to me being the first to know! I feel betrayed!"

"You are the first to know," Ginny told him. "And I wanted to tell you sooner, but you were with Bas on Sunday and well, I've been busy!" she said.

"Yes, doing Harry, obviously," Theo teased, poking her again. "I forgive you, but you have to tell me everything!"

Ginny blushed, chewing on her lip. "It was lovely. It was just… it was perfect, Theo. We didn't plan it, either of us, and it was just… that's going to be our home one day and it just felt right in that moment."

"And?" he prompted.

"I don't know what to say," she said. "We had sex."

"Once?"

She bit her lip again.

His smile widened. "You came right? With how much Sexy Somerset likes to use his talented tongue, he made sure you got off first, right?"

"Yes," Ginny said, blushing as red as her hair. "Twice before."

"Good boy," Theo said. "And he didn't hurt you?"

Ginny shook her head. "No. It was… uncomfortable a bit when he first started, but he took his time and let me adjust and… oh, Theo, it was just lovely. By the third time, it just felt so good."

Theo wiggled his eyebrows. "Third time, eh chick? Just how many times have you and Harry done the deed?"

Ginny grinned. "A lot. It can't be normal for me to want him so much, can it?"

"Yes, it can," Theo said. "You two were already randy buggers before this and add in the fact that you've just discovered something new, I'd say you two will be shagging at every possible opportunity. So, tell me, Ginny, now that you've experienced what sex can be like… tell me more about Harry's huge cock."

Ginny elbowed him and he laughed. "No! I told you enough as it is!"

Theo kissed her cheek and hugged her tightly. "Are you happy?"

"Extremely," she said.

"Good," Theo told her. "Hey, speaking of big cocks, did I tell you that I think Bas is packing?"

"No," Ginny said, biting back a laugh.

"I don't know for sure," Theo admitted. "As I haven't seen it yet, but when he gets close to me and from what I can see… Harry might have some competition."

Ginny rolled her eyes. "It's not a competition, Theo."

Theo wiggled his eyebrows again. "You're right, it's not. Harry's is definitely bigger, but when I see Bas naked, I'll let you know for sure."

Ginny laughed and hopped off the rock, holding her hand out to Theo to help him down. "Come on, let's sneak off into the kitchens and find some dessert."

Theo wrapped his arm around her as they headed back to the castle and Ginny thought that sharing some dessert with Theo sounded like the exact break she needed.

Then she was going for another fly because next Saturday was only nine days away.

~ ASC ~

Angelina stood in the kitchen, absentmindedly stirring the stew in the pot that she was heating up for dinner. She'd signed her final paperwork last week to break her contract with the Ballycastle Bats and when the lawyer left, she'd curled up into a ball and cried for hours.

Her dreams of a career playing professional Quidditch were gone in the blink of an eye. She'd barely even gotten the chance to get started, to make a name for herself, and now it was all over.

And she had no idea what she wanted to do.

Well, that was a lie. She had some idea. After all, she hadn't really expected to get signed to play professional Quidditch. But she had and it had been amazing. Until the explosion. It was the burns that had ruined everything. They were what had stopped her from being able to fly professionally and because it had happened outside of the pitch, her contract didn't even cover the cost of her healers. It was outrageous and despite the large monetary settlement the Bats had left her with, she knew that it wasn't as much as she deserved.

It was part of what had made her decide she might have an idea of what she wanted to do. Jackie Diamond had been helpful, she would admit that. The woman had answered every question she had, but she hadn't been as helpful as Angelina thought she could have been. She hadn't truly stood by her and fought for her. It was why when she finished crying over her failed career, she applied for a job in the Department of Magical Games and Sports.

When Diamond reached out an hour ago to tell her that she was hired, Angelina had been shocked. It was why two hours later, she was still contemplating it and everything that had happened over the last two months. The front door opened and she heard a curse, followed by the sound of George's cane as it clicked onto the wood with every step he made. She offered him a small smile when he stood in the doorway.

"Hi, how was physical therapy?"

"Crap," George said. "I swear that I hurt more than I did before."

"That's a good thing."

"Says who?"

"They. Them."

George frowned. "Well 'they' and 'them' can go fuck themselves. But I did get something awesome out of it!"

Angelina nodded, but didn't speak.

"Did you hear me?"

"Jackie Diamond offered me the job."

George blinked from the doorway. "The job?"

"At the Ministry," she said. "In the Department of Magical Games and Sports."

George pursed his lips. "The one in Public Relations?"

Angelina nodded again. "Yes."

He let out a slow breath. "You know my thoughts on that, Ange. I think you'd be absolutely brilliant at it, but I'm worried that being that close to the game and the players won't be as good for you."

"I could do it, George. I could show them what a Quidditch rep is supposed to do. I could sign my own clients and fight for them. I could be better than Jackie ever was to me."

"I know," he murmured, still resting against the doorframe of the kitchen. "Did you take the job?"

She shook her head. "Not yet. But I think that I'm going to do it. I want to do it. I need to do it, George."

He smiled. "So do it. No one stops my witch from doing what she wants."

Angelina's lips curved. "Angelina Johnson, QPR. It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?"

"Sounds sexy as hell," George admitted.

Angelina turned back to the stew. "Good. I'm going to do it. What were you saying when you came in about something awesome?"

"I said physical therapy sucked, but I got something awesome out of it," George corrected.

"What's that?"

"Guess."

Angelina rolled her eyes. "Another ridiculous cane?"

"This cane is wicked and I can say with absolute certainty, no one will ever own a cane with such perfect tits again. But no, I'm the greatest boyfriend of all time, that's what."

Angelina turned to look over at him, watching as he finally came into the kitchen fully and carefully shifted into the chair. George had easily figured out how to get around with only one and a half legs. He seemed to move with ease and made it look graceful. If she didn't know him as well as she did, she didn't think that she would notice the struggle in his eyes.

Ever since the fire, they had both been struggling and Angelina couldn't imagine going through any of this without him. It was bad enough to learn that she was going to be scarred for life, but to know that she'd lost her career in the process, that hurt more. Every day when she looked at her body in the mirror, she wanted to cry. The burns weren't red and blotchy any more, but they were still scars. Ugly, bumpy scars that covered the top of her shoulder, part of her arm, down her breast, over her ribs, and halfway down her thigh. It had taken her weeks to wear bras and knickers again because the burns had hurt so badly, she could barely wear clothes. Now the pain was gone, but the scars were forever.

Her pelvis had healed, but with the burns on her hip and thighs, the healers had warned her that she would never have perfect posture again. If she became too tired or overexerted herself, she would limp a little because the burns pulled around the edges. It was like part of her was always going to be broken.

She had cried for days.

Sometimes it felt like all she did was cry and pity herself. Her parents had been great and they'd done what they could to comfort her, but it didn't help. Nothing helped. And then here was George, making her smile and making her laugh. He had been a godsend. She couldn't imagine going through any of his without him and he had been undergoing his own problems.

Losing a leg was difficult.

The thing was, he often forgot.

Angelina couldn't count the number of times he'd woken in the morning and leapt out of bed in his usual fashion only to fall flat on his arse. He'd laugh it off and crawl away, but she knew the first few times had embarrassed him. He was in physical therapy five days a week to learn how to live with one leg. She knew that he was trying some different artificial legs, but he had yet to find one that he really liked yet.

"Ange?"

"Sorry," she said, turning her attention on him. "I'm listening. I just tuned out when you said the cane had better tits than me. We both know you're joking."

"Jealous, love?" he teased.

Angelina rolled her eyes. "You're ridiculous. Why are you the greatest boyfriend ever?"

"Angie, the answer should always be yes, Oh Greatest Boyfriend Of All Time, how can I serve you?"

She scoffed. "Please."

He grinned at her from his seat at the table. "But really, guess what I got us today?"

"What's that?"

"A full-day couple's massage at the Witch's Spa in London," he said, leaning back in his chair. "Full body massage, steam room, hot springs… it will be great for your body and for my leg. Not to mention some time to spend together. Alone."

"That sounds amazing," Angelina said before her smile dropped.

She couldn't help but look down at her side and wonder if she could let anyone else see her burn scars. It all seemed too personal, too soon. She looked up at George with uncertainty clouding her eyes.

"Are you sure that that's a good idea?" she asked.

"My healer recommended it for my leg and I thought that it would be good for you, too," George admitted, gesturing her over with his finger. Once she was in reach, he pulled her against him to kiss her neck.

"What if people see?" she whispered.

"Ah," George said. "I didn't think of that."

"Yeah," Angelina replied.

"That would be rather embarrassing for me," George admitted.

Angelina pulled out of his arms. "What?"

"I mean, how am I supposed to fend off all of these blokes who will be undoubtably be drooling over how gorgeous you are?" George continued. "You know they make us put our wands away when we get there. I suppose I could practice standing on one leg and swiping my cane to use as a weapon."

Angelina felt a chuckle bubble up her throat. "George."

"Here, let me see if I can do it," George said as he balanced on his good leg and reached for for the cane leaning against the counter. He held the cane like a Beater's Bat and made a swinging motion. "Not bad. Bet I could knock someone clean out. Won't even need my wand."

He made to practice swinging his cane again and Angelina laughed, grabbing his wrist.

"Stop! Stop, you bloody fool!" She took his cane and put it back against the counter before she pushed him back into his seat. "What is the matter with you?"

"What's the matter with me is that you have me absolutely bloody in love with you," George said as he cupped her cheek. "You're as gorgeous as ever and I won't have you thinking otherwise."

Angelina sniffed. "I bloody love you."

"I miss you, Ange."

Angelina smiled. "We live together."

"And my brother is here. All the bloody time," George said. "I love him, but I want to fuck you in the kitchen sometimes. I mean you stirring that stew just a moment ago? Ange, the things you do to little Georgie. Go on, cop a feel. He's at half-staff right now."

Angelina laughed, reaching down to cup him as kissed him. "Been a while since we've done that."

"A lot harder when I don't have a leg to stand on."

Angelina jabbed him in the shoulder. "Your jokes are getting worse."

"Nah," he teased, kissing her. "How about we go shag on the sofa? It might deter Fred from sticking around."

Angelina framed his face in her hands. "I love you, George Weasley."

George's eyes sobered. "I know. I love you, too."

"I don't know how I would have survived these last weeks without you," Angelina said. "I don't know how you can look at me like this and still see beauty."

"Ange," George said, softly. "You're gorgeous."

His fingers moved to lift her jumper and she let him pull it over her head. Then his lips moved to kiss the scar on her shoulder and she trembled. His hands cupped her breasts through the red bra she wore.

"Changed my mind," he said, his lips trailing over her scars.

"What?"

"Don't need a leg to stand on," he said. "You can ride me right here."

She laughed. She couldn't help it. Her fingers carded through his bright red hair and she kissed him quickly.

"Marry me, George."

George's mouth parted in surprise. "What?"

"Marry me," Angelina repeated. "I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

George's fingers fiddled with her bra strap. "As gorgeous and sexy as you are, Angie, I'm not that easy. If you're going to propose, don't I at least get a ring?"

Angelina rolled her eyes. "Be serious for one minute."

"I am," he insisted. "A bloke deserves some bling sometimes too, you know. You didn't even get down on one knee and now there's no ring… Maybe I'd love a nice shiny bauble."

She smiled. "You're right, you do. I didn't plan on asking you like this. I just… I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to have babies with you. I want you."

George brushed her hair out of her face. "I want that, too."

Angelina's smile widened. "You do?"

He nodded. "I do."

"I didn't plan on asking you."

"So you keep saying and I can tell it was unplanned. It was a very sloppy preparation."

Angelina shoved him lightly. "Stop. It wasn't!" At his look, she shoved him again. "You know what, I'm going to find you a bloody ring and it's going to be the most gaudy thing you've ever set your eyes on and you'll have to wear it because I was the one who proposed to you."

George grinned. "Too bad you didn't put more thought into it first like I did."

"What?" she demanded, crossing her arms in front of her chest and looking completely bewildered.

"I've been planning it for weeks," George continued. "Figured I'd do the big fancy dinner bit and put this in your champagne."

He pulled a red velvet ring box from his pocket and Angelina's eyes widened to saucers.

"Where did you get that?"

George popped the lid open to reveal a gorgeous engagement ring. "Bam! Told you I was the greatest boyfriend ever."

"Fiancé," she corrected.

George's grin widened. "Fiancé. Going to put it on, Ange?"

"That's your job."

George took the ring from the box and carefully slipped it onto her finger. "Perfect fit. How about that. Told you I was the greatest bo- I mean, fiancé of all time."

Angelina stared down at the ring for a moment before she grabbed his face and kissed him all over. "I love you."

George pulled her close against him, his forehead pressed against hers. "I love you, too. But I still want some bling to make up for that shitty arse proposal."

Angelina smacked him and he laughed.

"And Ange?" When her eyes met his, he grinned. "Yes. The answer is always yes. Now, let's go shag on the sofa before Fred comes home."

She laughed, but when he dragged her into the living room, she fell onto the sofa with him, her lips on his and thought yes, the answer was always yes.

Dean was watching Seamus. In fact, he'd been spending a lot of time recently watching his boyfriend. Since the attack on Hogsmeade, Seamus seemed more focused and more determined than ever to get into the OFB Academy. When he'd told Dean about LFF Grant offering him his help, he hadn't been able to stop smiling.

Dean had always known that Seamus wanted to be a fire flyer and he knew that he had the potential to be a great one. But it wasn't until he'd been there and heard about what his boyfriend had done and risked his life to do in Honeydukes that he really comprehended what it was that he wanted to do.

Seamus wanted to fly into burning buildings. He wanted to save people and he wanted to do it every day.

And it terrified him.

Suddenly the implications of how dangerous his boyfriend's ambition was seemed that much more so. Seamus could be seriously injured on the job. Burned beyond recognition or worse… killed. Dean wasn't sure if he could handle that.

He sat in the art room now, eyes on the beautiful mermaid who had travelled in from Greece as a favour to Professor De Milo. She was stunning with gorgeous rainbow scales on her tail. Her hair was deep mahogany and tumbled down her back in soft waves. She'd removed her top, showcasing round beautiful breasts with dark brown nipples. She was resting in a pool of water that De Milo had conjured so that she could stay in her aquatic form to be painted by his class. They'd done a merman from the Black Lake last week, De Milo explaining the difference between the green and almost fish-like appearance of the merpeople from the lakes as opposed to those from the warm waters of the oceans who looked more human than fish in their aquatic forms.

Dean kept his eyes on her perky nipples, paying attention to make sure that he added every bump and groove in his art. Those big blue eyes locked on him and he stirred. Sometimes he had to admit, he really missed tits. Big beautiful, bouncing tits or small compact ones with big nipples.

He wasn't picky.

Thinking about her great tits made him think about Parvati's tits and then just tits in general as he tried to focus on his art and breasts and not think about the fears that had been plaguing him: The fear of what he would do if he lost Seamus.

When De Milo told them that they could go, he made his way back to his dorm. He found Seamus where he expected, reading a textbook on the creation and control of fire from natural to man made to charmed to fiendfyre and how to deal with them as quickly, safely, and efficiently as possible. He'd been studying extra hard as of late in preparation for hearing back and getting to take the test.

Seamus looked up when he came into the dorm, tossing his book down. "Hey, how was class?"

"Good," Dean said. "We're still painting that Greek mermaid."

"The one with the nice tits?"

"Yeah," Dean said. He put his bag down and crawled over Seamus, kissing him quickly before he snuggled himself into his chest, wrapping his arms around him.

Seamus wrapped his arms around Dean and kissed his temple. "You okay? Did you get turned on by her perky nipples again?"

Dean snorted. "I miss tits, Seam, doesn't mean I don't love the shit out of you."

Seamus kissed his temple again. "Giving up tits for me… it must be love."

Dean's lips curved.

Seamus ran his hand over Dean's back. "You okay, babe?"

Dean didn't answer for almost a minute and then he lifted his chin, resting it on Seamus's chest to meet his eyes. "If you can't be a fireflyer, would it be the end of the world?"

Seamus' mouth opened in surprise. "Well… no, but… it's what I've wanted since I was six and saw the OFB fly in and rescue Mrs Next Door and her dog."

"I know," Dean said, his eyes on his. "But if you couldn't… or chose not to…"

"Dean… do you think that I won't make it? That I don't have what it takes?"

"No!" Dean said, quickly. "I think that you will make it and that's what scares me. I-I could have died in that fire, Seam. You could have died going back in to get me and it… it scares me to think that you want to risk your life like that on a regular basis. That you want to do that."

Seamus brushed his thumb over Dean's cheek. "Do you not want me to?"

"No! I don't want you to stop living your dream, Seam! Not for me. Not for anyone."

"But you're scared that if I get in, I could get hurt."

"No," Dean whispered. "I'm scared that when you get in, I could lose you."

Seamus pulled Dean's lips to his. "There's no certainties in life, babe. Look, with everything that's going on, either one of us could be hurt or killed in an instant. You could… I don't know, slip on some paint and impale yourself on an easel leg."

Dean snorted. "Please."

"What? It could happen," Seamus said.

"Life isn't certain, I know," Dean whispered. "I just… I just worry. And I'm so proud of you for wanting to go out and do this. I love that about you and I love that it's been your dream for over a decade. I want you to achieve that. I do. I just worry. That's all."

Seamus kissed him again. "I really love you and your worrying heart."

Dean smiled. "I really love you, too, even if you don't have big bouncy tits."

Seamus laughed and smacked his arm. "I'm sure I could figure out a charm to give me some if you really wanted." At Dean's look, he grinned. "Kidding. But in the meantime, you can eat me out like I'm a witch. Use that tongue deep just the way I like it."

"You're an arse," Dean muttered.

"And I know you love my arse," Seamus continued, wiggling his eyebrows. "And my chubby cock. You just love me."

"Yeah, I do," Dean admitted, his eyes on his.

Seamus brushed a finger over Dean's cheek. "So, I promise that no matter what, I will do my best to bring my beautiful arse home to you safely."

Dean's eyes softened. "Deal."

Seamus kissed him tenderly and Dean snuggled back into his arms. The two of them lay there, arms wrapped around each other as Seamus's hand ran up and down Dean's back.

"So," Seamus said. "Where did we leave off on that rim job?"

When Dean smacked him, he laughed and Dean thought that just maybe everything might be okay. Seamus had a way of just making him feel better.

~ ASC ~

Theo watched Harry run drills with his team and watched Ginny fly harder than ever the next evening. He knew that his friend was nervous about her tryout, but he also knew that she was going to rock it. He had no doubts about that. He watched a bit longer before he checked his watch and headed out to the gates to Apparate, his bag on his shoulder.

He had plans to spend the whole weekend with Sebastian and he had never been so nervous in all of his life. He didn't know why he was nervous. It wasn't like he was a doe-eyed virgin here, but it had also been well over a year since he'd had a man inside of him. Merlin, he missed sex. He missed the closeness of it and he knew that if sex with Sebastian was anything like how he kissed, it was going to be one of the most (if not the most) incredible experiences of his life.

Maybe that was why he was so nervous.

They had made plans for a late dinner at Sebastian's flat and Bas had told him to bring a bag for the weekend. Knowing it meant that he would be staying both nights made him feel like doxies were flying around in his stomach. He knocked on the door and when he saw Sebastian, his nerves skyrocketed.

And then Sebastian kissed him and everything felt right.

"Hi."

"Hi," Theo said, leaning in to kiss him again.

"I picked us up some chicken cordon bleu from that French restaurant you like and I bought a bottle of sauvignon blanc to go with it."

Theo nodded, his eyes on the small table in the kitchen set with plates and candles. It looked beautiful. Sebastian led him into the kitchen and Theo realized that music was playing on the wireless, soft light rock that seemed to set the mood. He started to feel nervous again, but once they were eating and drinking and talking, his nerves melted away.

They talked about their weeks and Theo told Sebastian about how he'd been watching Ginny practice for her tryout. They spoke about music and nothing of importance until dinner was over and Sebastian took his hand and led him to the sofa.

Theo didn't wait. He reached out and grabbed a fistful of Sebastian's shirt and pulled him down on top of him.

Sebastian chuckled, his hands flattening on either side of Theo to prevent crushing him. "Excited, are we?"

"I want you," Theo whispered. "This dancing around thing that we've been doing… it's only making me nervous. I want you, Bas."

Sebastian's eyes darkened before he captured his mouth in his. Theo moaned when he kissed him. Merlin, this was what he'd been waiting for. He'd wanted to lose himself for hours in this man's mouth, in his kisses. The simple kiss ignited fires in him that he couldn't explain. He let his hands slide into Bas' dark hair, marvelling at the softness and thickness of it as his lips met his. The kisses were soft, a dance of lips that left them both wanting but neither made any move to deepen it. Theo could feel Sebastian's hardness against his thigh and it made him smile.

He had done that.

He turned on the sofa, locking Sebastian between him and the cushions before he rolled over him and pinned him beneath him. Theo pressed his hands over his shoulders as he kissed him and Sebastian's large hands held his hips.

It was pure bliss.

This was what he'd been waiting for. This was what they'd been dancing around for weeks. The talking about it, the mirror calls, the long public snogs… this was what they'd been waiting for. A moment like this to be alone and to touch. Theo's legs tangled with his as their mouths met again and again and when Sebastian's fingers slid under his jumper to touch the skin at his hip, Theo trembled.

Sebastian's mouth left his, roaming down his jaw and over his neck. Theo tilted his head back to give him more access and he squealed in surprise when Bas suddenly sat up. Theo made to protest the move, but Sebastian was locking Theo's legs around his waist and holding him closer in the middle of the sofa while his mouth captured his again. His tongue had finally slipped between Theo's lips and Theo moaned. A large hand roamed over his back, slipping under the jumper he wore. Then his jumper was gliding up. Sebastian slipped it from his jeans before three fingertips began to rub a small circle at the base of his spine.

Theo's body tingled.

Sebastian's mouth never left his. Soft kisses, long kisses, passionate kisses… Theo lost track of anything except the feel of the fingers on his spine and the electricity running through him. Merlin, he couldn't remember ever feeling so much before. Theo moved his hands to the hem of Sebastian's jumper and began to lift it up. They broke their kiss only long enough for him to pull it over his head and then they were kissing again. Theo's arms linked over his shoulders, his hard cock pressing through his jeans against Sebastian's abs.

Sebastian's mouth moved over his cheek, licking his ear, sucking it into his mouth as he slid his fingertips up and down his back, dancing along his spine in a steady rhythm. Theo panted when his tongue slid over the pulse in his throat.

"Off," he hissed, pulling at the white tee shirt that Sebastian still wore.

Sebastian lifted his arms as Theo pulled the shirt over his head and then Theo's eyes dropped to the magnificent naked chest before him. Merlin… seeing this man shirtless in the mirror had been one thing but this… he was ripped. Theo had always considered Finn to be in shape but Sebastian was… holy Salazar, he had eight delicious abs, broad shoulders, and beautiful light brown nipples. Theo brushed a thumb down the v lines at his hips and Sebastian trembled. Theo danced his fingers up his chest, gliding them over his nipples and Bas groaned.

"Sensitive nipples?"

Sebastian's blue eyes darkened and Theo stroked his thumbs over them a second time, watching them peak before Sebastian kissed him again.

And again.

And again.

Then Theo's jumper was being tugged off, then his own shirt. Sebastian's hands glided over his torso and his lips left his.

"Guess I have to do some weight lifting to catch up," he teased as Bas' fingers traced down his toned stomach.

Sebastian pressed a kiss to his shoulder. "You're so sexy. You have a handful of freckles here."

Theo shrugged. "From the sun I guess. They're annoying."

"They're lovely," Sebastian corrected, kissing them again. "They're like little hidden surprises over your shoulders and here on your throat." His mouth pressed against each freckle and Theo trembled.

He let his fingers trace over every ab and muscle, outlining each one in awe. How much did Sebastian work out to get muscles like this? He kissed his bicep, marvelling at the tight skin and the gorgeous chest he was being allowed to touch. Sebastian kissed his shoulders, his collarbone. His hands slid up his chest, his thumbs circling his nipples and Theo bit his lip. When those hands glided over Theo's toned stomach, over his toned arms and up over his shoulders to glide down his back, he tossed his head back.

"Beautiful," Sebastian murmured. "You are so fucking sexy and you don't even know it."

"Mmhmm," Theo said, his hands moving over Sebastian's strong back.

When Sebastian lifted Theo's arm over his head, those blue eyes met his before Sebastian pressed a kiss to the inside of his arm. Then his tongue trailed a wet path to his underarm and Theo shivered, the pleasurable sensation of it surprising him. When his tongue did it again, Theo's cock twitched in his jeans.

Merlin, he was so hard, he thought.

"Bas," he murmured. "I want you."

Sebastian's hands slid down to his hips and Theo was suddenly being lifted into a standing position on the sofa. Before he could question it, Bas was working his belt. His breath hitched as the buckle opened followed by his zipper, then the button, and then his jeans were being pushed down his thighs. Theo stepped out of them as Sebastian held his hips steady and then his lips pressed against Theo's abdomen, then the waistband of his boxers, and then his inner thighs. His mouth pressed against him in soft teasing kisses, inching higher and higher before shifting to the other thigh and making Theo whimper.

Then those strong hands covered his arse, one hand on either cheek, kneading him through the tight silk boxer briefs he wore as he pulled him back down to straddle his lap once more. Sebastian's hands stayed on his arse as he captured his mouth in his. Merlin, this man could kiss, Theo thought for the hundredth time. He felt like he was drowning in sensation, in feeling, and he wanted to combust. His cock was leaking and poking out of the hole of his boxers, but Bas made no effort to touch it.

Theo reached down to touch himself, but a big hand gripped his and placed it on Sebastian's abs.

"No," he said, dragging his mouth up Theo's throat.

"I… I need…"

Sebastian bent his head and licked his nipple. "You will."

Then he was suddenly being lifted as Sebastian stood, locking Theo's legs around his waist as he carried him upstairs into the bedroom, as if he weighed nothing. He gently sat him on the edge of the bed before fingers teased the waistband of the silk boxer briefs and then they were pulled off. Theo's hard cock bounced at the movement and Sebastian licked his lips. Then he was pushing Theo up the bed and crawling over him.

"You're still dressed," Theo whispered.

Sebastian kissed him again before he reached down to unbuckle his black jeans. He unzipped and kicked his jeans off before he moved to lie next to him.

"You're so beautiful, Theo. So fucking sexy."

Theo blushed. "You can stop with the compliments. You have me naked."

Sebastian's blue eyes met his. "Beautiful. Breathtaking. Alluring."

His fingers danced down Theo's chest, tracing his ribs, his belly button, before one fingertip trailed over his length in achingly slow motion. Sebastian moved his mouth to his, his hand moving to rest on Theo's thigh as he kissed him.

"Relax," Sebastian whispered when Theo trembled.

"I am relaxed," Theo said, his voice anything but.

How was he supposed to relax when he was lying naked in this man's bed and this man had his hands all over him, touching him everywhere except where he wanted him most?

Sebastian kissed his lips again. "Relax," he repeated.

Theo's mouth met his and he did slowly relax, degree by degree as their lips met over and over. When Sebastian brushed his lips over his one final time before letting his lips move over his throat, he let out a slow breath. Sebastian cupped his cheek in one hand, those impossibly blue eyes on his as he moved down the bed, making Theo's breath hitch. Sebastian's strong hands brushed over his knees, almost a teasing stroke before he pushed his knees up. Theo swallowed.

"You okay?" Sebastian asked, his eyes never leaving his.

Was he okay? How was he supposed to answer that without responding like a babbling idiot? Theo was positive if the man touched him again he was going to embarrass himself. He thanked the gods he had thought ahead enough to have a proper wank before coming here tonight.

"Fine," he breathed.

Sebastian's lips curved. "Breathe slowly, okay? You're going to like this, I promise."

Theo had no idea what "this" was, but as long as Sebastian's hands didn't stop touching him, he wasn't worried. He grunted a little when Sebastian shoved a pillow under his behind. Then those big, strong hands were tracing slow deliberate patterns over his ribs, down his thighs, over his hips. His breath quickened and Sebastian took his hand, kissing his palm.

"Look at me. Breathe."

He did, keeping his eyes locked into those pools of blue as he let out slow, soft breaths. Sebastian placed his left hand flat over Theo's chest, resting over his heart. The thumb from his right hand gently traced his bottom lip as he stared into his eyes.

"Do you trust me?" he whispered.

Theo kissed the thumb brushing his lips. "Trust is a big word."

Sebastian's lips curved. "All right, I'll give you that. Do you trust me right now to not hurt you? To make you feel pleasure."

"Yes," he breathed.

"Good," Sebastian said, gently stroking his bottom lip again.

"I want you, Bas," Theo whispered.

"Just let me touch you right now," Sebastian murmured. "I want to touch you like I've been dreaming about doing for months now. Just let me touch you."

Theo could only nod as those big hands massaged his shoulders and slid down to rub his nipples. He watched as Sebastian's eyes finally left his, but only long enough for him to summon a bottle of lubricating oil. When he opened the lid, Theo smelt a mix of jasmine and sandalwood before those big hands were massaging warm oil into his skin. He let out a slow breath as oil slicked hands slid down his chest and over his thighs. More oil was poured and when those hands began to rub it between his legs, he groaned.

Sebastian took his time, adding more oil every few minutes until his left hand rested over his heart once more while the right one finally rested over his hard cock. Those blue eyes met his, neither of them moving and Theo couldn't explain the intensity of just staring into each other's eyes like they were. Then Sebastian's right hand slowly shifted off of his cock as two fingertips began to casually glide along the crease between his thigh and his groin. Slow strokes up and down, those blue eyes never leaving his. When his fingertips began to make slow circles, Theo let out a slow breath.

"What… what are you doing to me?"

"I've got you," Sebastian whispered.

Theo bit his bottom lip as Sebastian's hand slid down the edge of his groin, slow circular strokes beneath his balls. It was making his whole body tingle in ways that he couldn't explain. It was like Sebastian's fingers were made of magic and the way they were touching him was enough to drive him absolutely mad. He reversed the circular strokes over Theo's perineum, never moving further than the slow external strokes. Theo's breath began to increase and then Sebastian's hands were moving up over his balls to the base of his hard cock. The oil was slick between his hands and when Sebastian's hands wrapped around him, Theo made a strangled sound.

"Keep your eyes open," Sebastian said. "Look at me, Theo."

Theo didn't think that he could look away if he tried.

He stared into the blue eyes as those warm, slick hands glided up his cock in a slow, aching massage. A thumb glided over the head of him before the hands would disappear and start at the base of him again as if he was milking him in slow, deliberate strokes. It felt incredible. More than incredible, it felt like every part of his cock was being completely and utterly worshipped.

"Bas…"

"Slow breaths, Theo," Sebastian whispered as he continued to milk him.

He wanted to breathe, but he was afraid to. Merlin, it felt so good! It was like he was being given a massage made to relax and torture him at the same time. His balls were aching and his stomach felt like he had doxies flying around in there. Then Sebastian's hands stroked the tip of him just as slowly before one hand began to glide down his erection to the base in the opposite motion he'd just been doing. Theo's eyes rolled as Sebastian alternated hands, stroking him down from his tip to his base. The scent of jasmine and sandalwood was ripe in the air with every rub, the warm oil mixing with their skin.

It seemed to go on forever, Theo's quick breaths the only sound in the room as Sebastian's hands fondled him. Bas' hand shifted, holding the base of him firmly while his other hand began to caress him up to the tip. Sebastian's thumb pressed over the underside of his tip at the same time that his fingers below began to stroke his base, each massaging in the opposite direction and sending shock waves of pleasure through his system. His fingers coiled again and again and Theo groaned, his hips arching towards him.

"Oh, Merlin," he panted. "Oh, Merlin!"

Sebastian's eyes were dark in desire. "Do you like that?"

The whimpering sound that escaped Theo's lips was all he could provide as an answer. Sebastian's hands continued to twist and twine, teasing him to the edge of reason before the hands disappeared. Theo panted in disappointment before Sebastian's mouth met his for a long kiss. He felt Sebastian's cock poking him through his boxers, but when he reached for him, Sebastian took his hands in his.

"Not yet."

Those hands rested on his chest, one on his arm as they kissed over and over and over again.

Theo relaxed under his mouth and when those strong hands rested over him again, he was no longer as desperate as before. Sebastian's hands began to rub his shaft between them, eliciting heat like Theo couldn't explain before his thumb and forefinger circled him in slow short pumps, deliberately avoiding his head with every stroke.

Theo felt like he was going to die. His entire body was tingling in sensation. It was like Sebastian was taking his time to worship every angle of his cock, to try to drive him mad from pleasure overload. He wanted to come desperately while at the same time, he never wanted this feeling to end. Every time he came close, Sebastian's hands slowed. The touches became tickles until he could breathe again, until he was no longer begging to come.

Then those strong hands would start all over again in a different manner.

Featherlight caresses over his balls, rubbing his perineum in teasing brushes before gliding up his erection, avoiding touching the head of him every time. Those hands were squeezing and stroking, pumping and gliding, fisting and jerking… and every time he got close, Sebastian would take it away from him.

He wanted to scream in frustration, but never in his life had he ever felt so much from another man's hands. His whole body was on fire. He swore that he could taste the edge of his orgasm, feel it in the tingling of his limbs… he desperately wanted to let go and yet he never wanted Sebastian to stop touching him. When his index finger began to circle just under the edge of his tip, he tore his eyes away from the blue-desired filled eyes.

"Gah," Theo groaned, his head turning into the pillow.

Sebastian's hand cupped his cheek again while his other hand began to stroke his shaft. "Look at me."

Theo's lips trembled. His whole body trembled. He was shaking with energy, pulsing for more. Sebastian stared into his eyes as he linked his fingers around Theo's cock, opening his thumbs to slide up and down him. He increased the speed just enough and Theo shut his eyes.

"Salazar… I'm gonna…"

"Not yet," Sebastian said, slowing down his hands.

When the hands disappeared again, Theo wanted to cry. Then three fingers slid under his balls and began to massage. Knuckles pressed against him, the pressure increasing and Theo moaned at the shock of pleasure it gave him. His cock seemed to harden even more as Sebastian teased him with brushes and strokes, massaging the area just enough. Then there was more oil before fingers began to circle him.

"May I?" he whispered.

Theo practically sobbed out a yes in response and when a finger slowly slipped into him, he whimpered. Sebastian took his time, letting his fingertip pump in and out in a slow, deliberate motion while his other hand teased his fingertip over his balls. The combined motion was too much sensory overload and Theo's head was spinning, his cock begging to be touched properly.

Sebastian ignored this and continued to just tease his fingertips across his balls in soft glides. The teasing was making his head spin and when he applied just a hint of pressure, Theo moaned.

"Ah, fuck…"

Sebastian's lips curved as he lifted Theo's sac, teasing his fingers across it like a feather dancing in the wind. "You have beautiful balls," he said. "Perfect. Soft."

Theo was panting. His cock was aching and he was pretty positive that this man was trying to make him explode. The finger inside of him moved deeper and when it began to make a come hither motion; his hips arched off of the bed. Sebastian's thumb began to circle the head of his cock again, brushing just under the tip in a slow steady caress and Theo closed his eyes in ecstasy.

"Bas… oh, fuck, Bas…"

"Open your eyes," Sebastian said, his voice even gruffer than usual. "I want to see you."

Theo's eyes opened slowly as Sebastian began to tease the tip of him with more speed. A second finger slipped into him and when both fingers began to gesture inside of him, his eyes locked on Sebastian.

"I… I…"

"Let go," Sebastian whispered.

Theo wasn't sure if he'd just been waiting for him to say the words or what, but one more stroke sent him over the edge. He came harder than he could ever remember coming before, making a mess all over his chest as Sebastian's fingers kept pumping inside of him and he panted incoherently.

Sebastian's expression was pure satisfaction as he leaned over him and began to lick him clean. That long tongue gliding over his stomach to capture his release in long, sensuous licks that made him tingle.

"You're so beautiful, Theo. When you come, your eyes turn the most incredible shade of chocolate."

Theo blushed. "Bas…"

Sebastian's tongue continued to twirl around his chest, cleaning him in between soft kisses. When his mouth finally returned to his, Theo kissed him back with fervour.

"What… what did you do to me?" Theo whispered, his eyes still dark in desire. "Sleepy now."

Sebastian kissed him again. "Rest."

Theo didn't have to be told twice. He snuggled into the warm chest next to him and fell asleep in moments, completely spent in every possible way.

~ ASC ~

Theo woke, blinking around the strange room. The room was small and the huge bed took up most of the space. A tall wardrobe stood next to the window and the walls were a light pale blue in the soft light of the lamp. The half wall facing the window looked over into the living room and kitchen of the flat and Theo could see the top of the winding staircase from his spot in the bed. His eyes fell on the pale blue sheets and dark blue and silver duvet wrapped around him. The bed was comfy and soft and the framed still photos on the walls of different scenic scenes from around the world made him smile. He wondered if Bas had really been to all of those places.

Bas. Just thinking about him made him smile. Merlin, Theo felt relaxed, safe, and more satisfied than he could put into words. Everything suddenly came back to him as he remembered how he'd found himself in Sebastian's bedroom. The way Sebastian had touched him, worshipped him, staring into his eyes. No one had ever touched him quite like that before. He turned, eyes on the man now who was watching him sleep with a soft smile on his face.

"Hi," Theo said, turning to face him.

"Hi," Sebastian said back, reaching out to trail a finger down his shoulder.

"Were you watching me sleep?"

"A little," Sebastian admitted, blushing. "You're beautiful."

"Watching me sleep is a bit creepy, Bas," Theo teased.

Sebastian chuckled. "It is. You're right. I'll stop now."

Theo grinned before he leaned in to kiss him. "I didn't mean to fall asleep."

"It's okay. I'll take it as a compliment."

"It definitely was," Theo assured him, putting his hand on Sebastian's chest. "You destroyed me."

"And I enjoyed every second of it," he said, leaning in to kiss him.

Theo kissed him back before he pressed his lips to his chin, then his throat. "Now, I think it's my turn to play."

Sebastian's lips curved when Theo's fingers trailed down his chest to the waistband of his boxers. "Oh?"

"I wanted you inside of me last night," Theo said, making Sebastian's eyes darken. "But after that… I want something else first."

Sebastian mumbled a response when Theo's lips pressed against his shoulder. He fell on his back, smiling as Theo crawled over him. Theo kissed his shoulder again before he began to trail his lips down his chest, over the muscles that quivered there. He brushed his lips against his nipple and Sebastian trembled. Theo took his time, kissing and licking each nipple before he moved his lips lower. He kissed everywhere he could reach until he finally reached his destination.

Sebastian let out a small breath and Theo smiled as he tugged his boxers down and his eyes widened. He was bigger than he'd imagined. Sebastian noticed his reaction because he cupped his cheek.

"Nothing you don't want to do, okay?"

Theo licked his bottom lip. If only Sebastian knew just how much he wanted to do to this man right now. Instead, he pressed a kiss to his balls. "I want to."

He kissed his shaft, soft kisses along the length as his partially hard cock, lengthened under his ministrations. Theo kissed the tip once, twice, and then he dragged his tongue over it, making Sebastian moan.

"You had your fun," Theo murmured. "Now I get to have mine."

His tongue trailed over his cock again.

Sebastian's breath hitched. "You don't… most blokes won't…"

Theo let his tongue dart out again, raising an eyebrow. "Well, most blokes aren't me and Bas?" Sebastian's blue eyes met his and Theo smirked. "Have I mentioned how much I love sucking cock?"

Sebastian's eyes were so dark they were almost black. "You're a tease."

Theo smiled. "Oh, I promise I will be."

He sucked the tip slowly, torturously, before he glided his lips over him, taking more and more of him into his mouth. Sebastian made a strangled sound in the back of his throat and his hand gripped Theo's hair. Theo made a 'mmm' sound before he pulled away.

"Oh, and Bas?" When Sebastian's eyes met his, he bit his bottom lip. "I can deep throat, too."

The sound Sebastian made when Theo did just that was enough to make Theo eager for more. Merlin, he was so sexy. He wanted to take his time, to worship him the way that he had done to him a few hours ago. He slowly slid his lips off, licking his tip in steady strokes and making Sebastian moan. He dragged the base of his thumb along his shaft as he took him back into his mouth, taking him down his throat again just as a silver bear roared into the bedroom.

"HQ, five minutes. Don't dawdle."

Theo slowly removed his mouth as Sebastian swore.

"Bloody fucking hell! He has rotten timing," Sebastian muttered.

Theo kissed his shaft again. "You have to go?"

Sebastian nodded, cupping Theo's cheek. "Yes. I'm sorry."

Theo watched him jump out of bed to find his clothes, tugging up his underwear and cursing as he tried to get rid of his visible erection. Theo stretched out onto his stomach.

"Will you be long?"

Sebastian grabbed a shirt from the ground and tugged it on, buttoning it up. "I don't know. These things could be ten minutes to a week. Being summoned could mean anything and when it's after midnight, it's usually not good."

He finally closed his jeans before he crawled back onto the bed to kiss Theo, a hand kneading his arse over the sheet.

"I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you."

Theo tugged his lips back to his. "Yes, yes, you will."

Sebastian grinned and kissed him once more. "Stay. I want you to stay here in my bed while I'm gone. Hopefully it's quick and I won't be too long."

Theo bit his bottom lip. "Yes, don't be too long. I really want to finish what I started."

Sebastian's eyes darkened. "I'll be back as soon as I can."

He pecked Theo on the lips and grabbed his wand and his cloak before he hurried down the stairs. Theo stretched like a contented cat in the big bed and when Oliver hopped up onto the end of the bed, he smiled.

"Hi, Oliver. Want to share the bed with me?"

Oliver strutted across the bed and curled up onto Sebastian's pillow, his eyes on Theo. Theo reached out to scratch him behind the ears and he purred.

"Don't worry, Bas will be home soon."

And he fell asleep, his fingers buried in Oliver's soft fur.

~ ASC ~

When Theo woke again, sunlight was coming in through the window in Sebastian's bedroom and he was aware of warm arms wrapped him. He turned, a soft smile on his face as he looked at the sleeping face of his boyfriend. He wondered what time he had come in as he hadn't even heard him sneak into the bed. He kissed his cheek, then his nose, then his other cheek.

Sebastian opened one eye. "Hi."

"Hi, what time did you get in?" Theo asked.

Sebastian glanced over at the clock. "A few hours ago. You looked so peaceful, so I went for a run."

Theo wrinkled his nose. "You went for a run?"

"Yes," Sebastian said, grinning. "I run every day."

"Ew."

"Except Sundays," Sebastian said, kissing Theo's forehead. "I showered and came to bed and you didn't move a muscle."

Theo snuggled closer, his lips pressing against Sebastian's bare chest. "That must be why you smell so good."

"Must be," he teased, covering his mouth with Theo's. "Did you sleep all right?"

"Great," Theo admitted. "Like really great. I had no idea someone could wear me out so completely with just his hands."

Sebastian licked his bottom lip. "I have many skills."

Theo pushed him onto his back, the sheet slipping off of Theo's shoulders. "Me, too. Why don't I show you?"

Sebastian made a sound of agreement as Theo's lips began to move down his chest. He wanted to take his time, he thought. He wanted to make Sebastian as mad for him as Theo had been last night. He kissed his way over his shoulders, his collarbone, and down his chest. His tongue stroked one nipple at a time, bringing it to peak before he sucked slowly while his fingers played with the other one. Sebastian groaned and his hips arched. Theo smiled. He liked that he'd already figured out Bas rather liked his nipples being touched. He slid his hand down the well defined chest to wrap his hand around him. He was hard already and Theo couldn't help but smile. He planted kisses down his hard chest again, stopping to suck on his abs and Sebastian made a 'mmm' sound that made Theo's cock twitch.

Theo moved lower, shimmying down Bas' hard body until he was face to face with his goal. He held him in his hand, kissing his balls softly. He kissed his length, taking his time to linger over each soft kiss. Theo slid his tongue over him. Long licks along each side of his cock before another slow one beneath it. His tongue danced over the underside of his fully hard length now and Sebastian trembled.

"Mmm, I love how big and hard you are," Theo said. "So big and it's all for me."

"Theo… please… I want you."

Theo dragged his tongue over the underside of him again. "You have me."

Then he wrapped his mouth around him.

The sound Sebastian made when he began to suck on him made him stand at full attention. He took his time, sucking just the tip before changing the angle and taking him down his throat. He had to admit, as much talk as he gave (and he gave a lot), this was actually the biggest cock he'd ever sucked. His jaw ached a bit, but he kept going, taking all of him down his throat. He slid his mouth off, kissing his length again and then began to drag his tongue over his tip.

Sebastian groaned.

Theo gripped his cock in his hand and began to suck him all over again, letting his other hand wander up to tweak a nipple. The sounds Bas was making was enough to tell him that he was close. He used his thumb to stroke the underside of him while he sucked, his lips wrapped around his tip while his other hand moved up and down his length.

Merlin, he fucking loved this. He loved holding Sebastian in his mouth like this. He loved the power it gave him and he loved that he could feel this gorgeous man beneath him starting to lose control. It was one of his favourite things about giving. He loved the feel of him in his mouth and the salty taste of his skin. He was more than willing to keep this up for hours, maybe even all day. Sore jaw be damned, he never wanted to stop sucking him. The idea of spending the entire day in bed with Bas, his mouth wrapped around his cock, begging Bas to take him, had a lot of appeal. He was going to make him come in his mouth and then he was going to ask him to fuck him.

He couldn't wait.

Fingers carded through Theo's hair and the loud knock on the front door of Sebastian's flat startled him. Theo stopped what he was doing and Sebastian swore.

"Should you get that?"

"No," Sebastian growled. "They can go fuck themselves. Please don't stop."

Theo smiled and took him back into his mouth. He'd only sucked twice more before the knocking became more incessant.

"Bloody fucking hell!" Sebastian groaned. "I'm close… I'm so fucking close…"

Theo quickened his pace, his hand stroking in time to his sucks just as a woman called up the stairs.

"Bas! Get your lazy arse out of bed!"

"Fuck!" Sebastian exclaimed. "Fuck! Why does the world hate me?"

Theo stopped what he was doing. "I feel like I keep getting denied my candy prize."

"You and me both," Sebastian muttered, jumping out of bed.

"SEBASTIAN CHRISTOPHER KANE! I will drag your ugly arse out of bed!"

Theo grinned as Sebastian found pyjama pants and pulled them on. "Who is that? And Christopher, huh?"

"Bloody fucking Soraya," Sebastian said in annoyance before he marched out of the bedroom.

Theo rolled over in the bed, grinning when he heard Bas' voice over the half wall of the bedroom.

"Do you always show up at the worst possible time ever?"

"You missed me. Admit it."

"No. I hate you. Go away."

Her laugh echoed up the stairs.

"You love me. Come on, Mr Grumpy Pants, I'll make you a cuppa."

Theo slipped out of bed and into the bathroom to clean up a bit. He pulled on a pair of boxer shorts that he found in Sebastian's drawer since he'd left his bag downstairs in the living room. Then he grabbed one of Bas' shirts and pulled it over his head. It was a little big for him, but he liked the feel of it as he made his way downstairs.

The woman sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea in her hands was just as gorgeous as Sebastian. Her hair was the same dark brown that looked almost black, but it was curly and worn to her chin. Her eyes were the same intense blue and she lifted an eyebrow when she saw Theo walk down the spiral staircase.

"Well, hello. Bas didn't say that he had company."

"I said that you were interrupting," Sebastian grumbled. "What else did you think I meant?"

"Ignore him, he's grumpy most of the time."

"I'm not," he insisted.

Theo grinned. "I like to call him Auror Arsehole when his grumpiness shows."

Soraya laughed and extended her hand. "I like you already. Soraya Kane."

"Theodore Nott," Theo said, shaking her hand. "You're the curse breaker, right? In Indonesia?"

"That would be me," Soraya said. "And you're the new boyfriend. Nice to meet you."

"The kettle's on," Sebastian said, clearing his throat. "If you want a tea."

Theo nodded and turned to walk into the kitchen. He heard the sound of Soraya hitting Sebastian.

"Ow!"

"He's cute!" Soraya hissed, making Theo grin as he picked up the kettle. "Like really cute! Like that smile is freaking adorable and that arse! No wonder you've been keeping him to yourself!"

"Stop looking at his arse," Sebastian grumbled. "And I haven't been keeping him to myself. It's just new and we're… getting to know each other."

"I'd like to get to know him better," she teased. "And bite that arse."

"Stop looking at his arse," he hissed. "He might hear you!"

"Not my fault your boyfriend's so bloody cute."

Sebastian sighed in exasperation. "Why are you here, Soraya? What happened to not being able to get away from the case until the summer? Do Maman and Dad know you're back?"

"No and I'd like to keep that way for a few days," she insisted as Theo came back into the living room. "Theo, come sit next to me."

Theo moved to do just that, but Sebastian grabbed his arm and steered him next to him instead.

"Spoilsport," Soraya said.

"She's annoying," Sebastian exclaimed. "I'm saving you."

Soraya rolled her eyes. "I'm not annoying! I'm lovely! So, Theo, what do you do? Tell me that you're not an Auror, too?"

"No, not an Auror," Theo said. "I'm actually in my seventh at Hogwarts and I hold a seat in the Wizengamot."

"Oh, very nice," Soraya said. "Is that what you're going to do when you finish school?"

"Yeah, and I don't know what else yet."

"Curse breaking is very exciting," Soraya told him. "Have you ever been to Indonesia?"

"He's not moving to bloody Indonesia!" Sebastian exclaimed.

"I'm sorry my brother is such a controlling git. I'll definitely put you up if you come to Indonesia."

Theo grinned. "Good to know." He linked his fingers with Sebastian's. "Don't worry, Auror Arsehole, I don't plan on moving to Indonesia."

Soraya chuckled. "I like you."

"Likewise," Theo said, surprised at how much he meant it.

"Soraya, why are you here?" Sebastian asked again.

Soraya settled back against the sofa. "One of the tombs we were in had to be shut down due to the severity of the curse. Researchers wanted to spend a few weeks delving deeper into the history so they gave us two weeks of holiday until things could settle down. And I thought that I would come and hang out with my favourite little brother."

Sebastian frowned. "You couldn't have gone to Paris first and bothered Selene?"

"No," Soraya said. "If I wanted to listen to my nieces whine, I would have went there first."

"You're such a bleeding heart."

Soraya laughed. "I love Amara and Piper, but sometimes no matter how much we love them, kids are annoying. Even ones as adorable as those two. So, what are you two up to today?"

Sebastian sighed and gave Theo an apologetic look and he just grinned back at him. He had a feeling that today was going to be very interesting.

It was.

Soraya dragged them into Muggle London where they spent the day ice skating at an indoor rink. Then they had lunch from a food truck that sold tacos before Soraya insisted that they go on a biking tour of Muggle London. After the tour, they went to the movies and Soraya begged them to see Titanic with her. When Sebastian told her they'd already seen it, she dragged them in to see it again. Theo enjoyed the film even more the second time, loving the popcorn and snacks as they sat in the theatre.

By the time they returned to Sebastian's flat it was late and Soraya was still a bundle of energy. They opened wine and Soraya regaled Theo with stories about Sebastian as a child.

"Did he tell you about the time Dad caught him snogging Max in the living room?"

"No," Theo said.

"Dad is so funny! Like nothing phases him."

"That's because he'd already dealt with you and Selene for years," Sebastian grumbled.

Soraya ignored him. "So, Dad had been working and he comes home and Max is sitting in Bas' lap and they're just snogging each other's brains out and Bas isn't wearing a shirt. Dad doesn't even alter his routine. He just hangs up his cloak, puts on his slippers and takes a seat right next to them on the sofa. He opens the newspaper and Bas is mortified and groaning 'Dad' in exasperation and Dad just looks over the top of the newspaper and says, 'You two can snog after you help your maman with dinner. Bas, put your shirt back on.' Then he just kept reading the paper like he hadn't totally cockblocked poor Bas there."

Sebastian groaned. "I was mortified! I didn't even know what to say."

Theo grinned. "Your dad sounds amazing."

Soraya yawned. "More wine?"

"It's late, Soraya," Sebastian said.

"Yes, it is," she agreed. "Your sofa still available?"

"Three days. No longer," he insisted.

Soraya kissed his cheek. "Thanks, Bas!"

Five minutes later, Sebastian had blankets and pillows stacked on the sofa for his sister before they were saying goodnight and heading upstairs.

"Use a silencing charm!" Soraya yelled.

Sebastian groaned. "I hate her."

"No, you don't," Theo said with a grin. "She's kind of awesome."

Sebastian slid his hands around Theo's hips to full him close. "Yeah, she is. But suddenly I'm really aware of the fact that my bedroom has no door and that the bathroom door is in full view of my bed."

Theo linked his arms around his neck. "Your little loft bedroom is adorable."

"Not when my sister is sleeping on the sofa below," he grumbled.

Theo kissed his cheek. "Well, Auror Arsehole, maybe you should make a privacy ward."

"She'll know," he grumbled. "She'll know and she'll never let me live it down."

Theo stepped out of his arms and pulled his jumper over his head, followed by his shirt. Sebastian's eyes stayed on him and when he undid his belt, those blue eyes darkened.

"You promised me a weekend of more," Theo whispered.

Sebastian pulled his own jumper off and then his shirt before he stepped out of his jeans. He moved towards Theo in just his boxers, cupping Theo's face in his hands and kissing him deeply.

"I'm sorry that we keep getting interrupted. I was looking forward to this and instead we just keep getting…" he trailed off, shaking his head, before he captured Theo's lips in his.

Theo let his hand slide into Sebastian's boxers. "We do," he murmured. "And I've been dying for a taste of that candy prize."

Sebastian chuckled. "You and me both."

Theo watched him put up a privacy spell and a silencing charm before he urged Theo onto the bed. They kissed slowly, hands roaming over each other as they removed the last of their clothes and when Theo shimmied down his body again to take him in his mouth, Sebastian groaned.

"Fuck, yes…"

Theo savoured him. He knew that Sebastian wanted it fast after being interrupted twice now, but Theo took his time, teasing him to full attention before he began to work him with his mouth and hands. He enjoyed him, licking and sucking and stroking him as Sebastian made soft pants beneath him. Theo added his thumb, stroking it along the underside of Sebastian's length as he sucked him and Theo felt him tremble beneath him.

"Close… so close," he murmured.

Theo took him deeper, sucking harder and the cat pawed at his head. Theo sat up and eyed Oliver.

"Oliver, down!" Sebastian hissed, giving the cat a shove.

Oliver simply jumped back onto the bed.

Theo laughed as Sebastian swore. "Well, Auror Arsehole, it looks like you just aren't going to get off this weekend, are you?"

Sebastian scooped Oliver into his arms as the cat meowed indignantly and locked him in the bathroom. Then he crawled back into the bed. Oliver's cries had grown louder and Theo pouted.

"You can't leave him in there, Bas."

"I can and I will," Sebastian insisted. "I need you so badly, Theo. Oliver can wait."

Theo took him back into his mouth, but Oliver's loud meows were too distracting and when he stopped, Sebastian groaned in frustration.

Theo kissed his lips. "I'll be right back."

A moment later, Theo returned with Oliver snuggled into his arms.

"That cat hates everyone," Sebastian grumbled. "Everyone. I don't even think he likes me half the time, but you — he preens to like a fucking little king."

Theo put Oliver on his large silk pillow in the corner of the bedroom and the cat glared at Sebastian before turning around and staring at the wall. Theo crawled back into the bed.

"See? Better."

Sebastian's hand wrapped around the back of Theo's head. "Use your mouth. For the love of Merlin, please fucking use your mouth on me."

"You're so demanding, Auror Arsehole," Theo teased.

But he bent his head and took him back into his mouth.

Sebastian made a sound of appreciation and when he finally let go, Theo swallowed every drop of him eagerly. He held him in his mouth until he felt him soften and then he kissed his way up his chest. His mouth met his and Sebastian cupped his cheek.

"You're amazing. Brilliant, actually."

Theo kissed him again. "Feel better?"

Sebastian covered his mouth with his for a long kiss. "I want to spend one whole weekend just making love with you. I want you to never leave this bed unless it's for food. And as much as I love my sister, the fact that she's downstairs and denying me my chance to make love with you for hours and days, makes me hate her."

Theo smiled and kissed him again. "So, next weekend then?"

Sebastian's lips trailed down his neck. "Yes, but that doesn't mean we have to wait for everything."

And when his mouth wrapped around Theo, Theo's fingers clutched his hair desperately and thought this weekend had still been bloody amazing.
