Epilogue

"Thank you James," Annemarie said as she stood at the door to her apartment. It was almost midnight and they had spent the last four hours in each others' easy company eating and drinking in a little restaurant on the edge of Ottery St Catchpole, it was a wizarding place which was usually full of couples ensconced in cosy corners where they could talk quietly with one another. James had been into the auror office that morning and admitted the truth about their mission and he had indeed received a stern verbal warning from the new head, Terence Beerney. His commendation for his actions on the mission had been taken back and he was suspended without pay for three weeks while Annemarie was reinstated from the following Monday still at a more junior position. James felt that his knuckles had been severely rapped and he knew it could be a while before he saw serious action again but he did not care, the only thing he had been able to think about all day was his first real date with the woman he had never realised that he was falling for. "Tonight was wonderful," the beautiful girl added leaning in to kiss her date and wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, as she kissed him her wand fiddled with the door lock and it clicked open behind her, then without saying a word she opened the door and moved slowly backwards bringing him into the apartment with her.

"Annemarie...what...are you doing?" he asked hungrily still trying to kiss her but becoming aware of her actions. The whole evening had been amazing to him and he had never realised that going on a real date with someone could be so wonderful and magical, there had never been an awkward moment between them and he had been amazed at how quickly the time had passed by. When they reached her apartment door he had been disheartened to realise that the night was almost over but he was still determined not to make her into just another girl.

"James, I want you...again," she replied looking up at him through fluttering eyelashes, "I know what you want and I know how you feel and yet again," she teased, "we are not in your bed!"

He laughed at her and replied, "Are you sure?"

"This time...absolutely," she returned reaching up to kiss him again and then taking his hand before turning and walking in the direction of her own bedroom, he followed willingly and closed the door behind them then turned to watch as she lit a few soft candles on the bedside and then knelt down on the bed beckoning him with her finger.

As he walked towards her she began to remove the top that she wore and then unfastened her trousers and discarded them so that she was laid propped up on her elbows in matching bra and pants and James found himself panting as he stared at her glorious body, she had large breasts and a curvy figure quiet different to the skinny girls he usually slept with and he found that he was hungry with desire for her. When he reached the bed Annemarie pulled him down so that he was laid between her legs and she kissed him passionately.

"James, you're trembling again," she whispered looking up at him concernedly, "do you want to do this?"

"Yes," he replied in a shaky voice, "you just make me feel so different, so much more aware of you than a woman ever has before. I want you Annemarie, I want you so much that it makes me nervous."

"James Potter nervous with a woman?" she whispered in reply trying not to sound too surprised.

"Just nervous with you," he said, "because it's not just about me this time."

"James, just be yourself," she whispered kissing him again as she started to unbutton his shirt and trousers.

When his chest was bare she began to kiss it hungrily and slipped her hands into his open trousers, "Wait," he whispered taking hold of her hands and lifting them up to his lips, she looked at him curiously. After kissing each of her finger tips and looking down through them to her smiling face he thrust her hands behind her head and pinioned them down with one of his own. He raised his eyebrows at her as he used the other hand to reach underneath her and unhook the white satin bra which contained her breasts, eying them hungrily he removed the rest of the garment one arm at a time and then slowly and teasingly began to kiss and lick them one at a time while listening to Annemarie's ragged breathing become more irregular. He moved the hand restraining her own and used it to cup one breast while he licked and flicked the end of the nipple with his tongue, she groaned softly and tried to move her own hands back to the bulge she could feel pressing against her thigh but he caught them deftly and this time removed the belt from his trousers which he began to twist around them. After a moment however he paused and looked down at the aroused woman beneath him, "Do you trust me?" he whispered looking at her with concern in his eyes, he had promised not to make her another conquest and he realised that he was doing something which she might need more time to trust him with.

"Yes," she whispered breathlessly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," she repeated looking into his eyes with an excited twinkle in her own, "I trust you." Then with a small cocky smile he attached the end of the belt to the head of the bed and then returned to nuzzling her breasts and nipples biting them gently and listening to her soft moans, while removing her thin lace pants. Eventually his hands slid between her legs and began to rub gently against her, he could hear her breathing become deeper as she became more and more aroused and he teased her by removing them at what he felt was a crucial moment and she gave him almost deathly glares which he laughed at before returning and listening to her groans once more. Finally he could tease her no longer as he was secretly desperate to please her in the ultimate way and when she looked at him pleading for him to continue he did so and watched her body rise for a second and then freeze in mid air before shuddering as she made a deeper groan than any she had made before. He moved further up the bed then and held her body close to his as she continued to breathe deeply, a look of complete relaxation fell over her face and he smiled down at her as he unfastened the bonds which he had used to tie her to the bed post.

Annemarie continued to lay with her eyes closed for a few moments longer while James simply watched her and stroked the curve of her waist with one hand until she looked up at him and smiled shyly, "You're mean!" she giggled and then without any warning she pushed James onto his back and sat astride him completely naked and wearing a cheeky grin. He looked back up at her revelling in the fact that she was there and in total awe of how different he felt about being with this amazing girl. He then watched as she slowly removed his shirt and trousers all the while hanging her own naked body above him. Every time he reached out to touch her she moved away and smiled coyly until his hands had returned to his side but after a while she leaned over him completely and let her hair fall around his face before kissing him deeply. His hands travelled up the curve of her waist again and slid around her back so he could pull her body close to his, she relented for a moment but then lifted her body up positioning herself on the end of his throbbing member and slowly she slid herself down him and listened this time to his soft moan.

She moved herself up and down slowly sitting up so he could watch her and seeing the pleasure build up on his face, for a short while she got her revenge and when she knew he was ready to burst inside her she would lift her body off of his and watch as he moaned with frustration and reached out for her. After teasing him more than enough times she attempted to do it once more but was too slow for James who grabbed hold of her hips and moved his own up to meet her swiftly and hard three times making her gasp loudly before letting out a loud and deep breath and freezing in midair for a second. Breathing irregularly James lowered his body back onto the bed and Annemarie dropped on top of him, their chests met and they both lay in silence foreheads touching but eyes closed.

After a couple of minutes James slowly opened his eyes and looked at Annemarie's face which she had lifted away from his own, he smiled at her as she moved her body off of his and laid herself beside him with her head in the crook of his shoulder and her legs twisted around his, he pulled her close and listened to her breathing next to him. He was amazed that he did not want to roll over and turn his back to the girl which is what he would have done with anyone else he had just slept with but as before with Annemarie he wanted to hold her close and listen to her breathe instead of finding a way to get rid of her now he had had his way.

They fell asleep in the same position some time later, neither of them had spoken at all and when James woke in the early hours of the morning he felt happy and comfortable to realise that she was still curled up around him, desperate to use the toilet he moved himself slowly so as not to wake her and once he was out of the bed he stared down at the stunningly gorgeous woman who's hair fell across her shoulders and hid much of the top half of her exquisite body from his eyes. When he returned from the bathroom she was not there and for a fleeting moment he remembered the night outside Malfoy manor when he had risen to check the enchantments and found Annemarie dressed and sitting by the candle light on his return. An uneasy feeling in the bottom of his stomach made him think the same thing might have happened now but a sound to his right made him turn around and he saw her silhouette in the bedroom doorway holding two cups, she was still naked and smiled sweetly at him as she passed over one of the cups and then returned to sit on the bed where he joined her.

Draining the cups and placing them on the side of the bed Annemarie leaned back into James' waiting arms and he pulled her close and whispered, "Last night was amazing."

"I know," she replied and then chuckled before adding, "and who ever thought that James Potter would be a notch on my bedpost?"

"Hey," he shouted pretending to be insulted and then he added, "care to make another notch?" before twisting her over beneath him and starting to kiss her squirming but smiling body.
