Dragonfly

Lily sighed in contentment. She could feel the soft breeze of the early autumn day washing over the exposed sections of her pale skin, and the grass she was laying on tickled at her legs, arms and a small sliver of skin on her lower back. She felt a body presence next to her a smiled as a familiar scent floated to her nose. She smiled as Scorpius lay down at her side and kissed her collar bone lightly.

'You look especially relaxed today,' he murmured into the soft skin of her neck, his long, straight nose tracing a line up and down the expanse.

'Mhmm…' She tried to reply further, but then gave up. She was too tired to say any other words. Her body gave a soft jerk as she felt a cold presence lazily trace the small stretch of skin between her school skirt and her white shirt. Scorpius shook slightly with his silent laughter as she swatted at his shoulder. Both were quiet for a time, settling into a soothing rhythm of breaths as Scorpius' hand automatically stroked her flesh. It rose slightly higher under the material, lingering in the warmth that had been gathered from her skin, before the movements settled back into a regulation pace.

Every few minutes, the hand would creep higher and higher up beyond the material's edge. Lily shivered with pleasure slightly as Scorpius' long fingers brushed across her navel, reminding her of a dance. Scorpius sat up at her side, his hand stilling in the middle of its path. Lily's eyes shot open and she stared at him as he stared at her flat stomach. He eased her shirt up to where his hand had stopped and stroked a small area of the now exposed skin.

'What…?' she questioned him curiously. Scorpius smiled as he traced a small shape, not unlike a cross or a star to the left of the pool that was her belly button.

'I just never realized that you had a birthmark.' His silver eyes flashed up to meet hers. 'It's cute,' he commented. Lily's eyebrow quirked up as she gave him a strange glance.

'You are so weird, Scor, how is a birthmark cute?' Scorpius grinned at her. He leant down over her stomach and gently kissed the area marred by an oddly shaped brown mark. Lily shuddered and her fingers automatically threaded their way through his slightly-too-long hair. His eyes rose to meet hers, his lips still touching her skin slightly.

'I think everything about you is cute. Or sexy.' He smirked at her. Lily pushed his head away slightly. Scorpius' smirk changed to a loving smile. 'It's a dragonfly.' He nuzzled the skin with his cheek before kissing it once more. 'Kinda girly and beautiful yet, at the same time, strong. Like you.' He lay down once more besides her and rested his forehead upon hers, pulling her shirt down to cover the mark once more. Lily smiled sweetly at him and pecked his lips.

'Love you,' she whispered.

'Love you more,' Scorpius whispered back as he closed he eyes.
