Another update! I hope you all are liking it so far, please leave a review and let me know what you think!
"Sirius!" James calls loudly from the doorway, "I'm home!"
Sirius flashes her a smile and a wink, turning towards the door. "We know love."
James whips around.
His bags dropping to the floor.
Staring.
With those damned hazel eyes.
Right at her.
"Lily."
And her heart fucking stops.
Hearing her name on his lips.
Sirius rises to his feet, walking around her, his fingers skimming her shoulders, making the hair on her arms stand on end.
"Timed it just right." He whispers in her ear.
And Lily reaches out to stop him but he dances nimbly out of her grasp, disappearing down the hallway with a stupid smile on his lips.
James takes a cautious step towards her.
Emboldened when she doesn't try to escape. He takes another step.
"Lily…I…"
She's frozen to the spot.
She can't fucking move.
It's actually the tea that saves her.
The mug has gotten fucking hot and it's burning her fucking hand and she has to do something so she takes a sip and—
It breaks the spell.
James' spell.
That he still has on her.
Fuck.
"Lily," James actually sinks to his knees in front of the chair, "I am so sorry."
Lily sits there, feet curled under her in her favorite chair, and takes a sip of her tea.
She feels like she's still dreaming.
Still lost in the throws of whatever Sirius did to her last night.
It's the only explanation for what she does next.
"What are you sorry for?" She asks James. Taking another sip of tea.
James has the good sense to look chastised. He rocks back on his heels, staring up at her.
"I'm sorry for treating you like I treated those girls I just fucked and left."
Lily's brain stops. All the gears in her head grinding to a stop.
Because, oh fuck, he actually got it?
Hit the nail on the fucking head.
She takes another sip of tea, trying to buy time.
Wondering how far she can push it.
"Was it just sex?" She asks, forcing her voice to be steady and strong. Her stomach clenching as she waits for him to answer.
"Of course not."
The relief she feels practically rivals the orgasms Sirius gave her all last night.
"I like you." James blabbers on, "I really like you, I think I actually love—"
He catches himself.
Shock registering on his features.
And for the first time, Lily can read his emotions right off his face.
She opens her mouth.
Oh god, what should she say? She loves him too. But—
She gets a sudden flash of Sirius last night.
Laughing.
You always surprise me Lily Evans.
"I love you too."
The words tumble out of their own accord and from the moment Lily sees' James' hazel eyes shining, she knows.
It was the right choice.
He scoops her up, her half-empty mug of tea spilling to the ground as he kisses her.
Sparks flying across her skin.
"God, I love you." He whispers into her hair. Holding her close. "I can't believe I was ever such a fucking idiot."
Lily wraps her arms around him tightly. Feeling his strong muscles. His scratchy five o'clock shadow. His dark curls tickling her face.
She breathes in his scent. Musky cologne and sweat and a hint of cigarette smoke.
God.
She loves him.
She loves him. She loves him. She loves him.
Her fingers curl into his hair and she relishes the chance just have him in her arms again.
"Finally back together are we?"
Sirius' voice breaks through her lovestruck stupor.
"Sirius!" She hisses as James disappears to his bedroom to unpack his bag. She doesn't even know where he was last night but she doesn't fucking need to right now.
Right now, she needs to get Sirius' head on straight.
"Yes love?" Sirius asks mildly, as he wipes her spilled tea from the hardwood floors.
"Sirius," Lily yanks him closer, "we had sex."
Sirius raises an eyebrow at her aghast tone of voice and Lily feels her cheeks color.
"Oh please," Sirius rolls his eyes, trying to reach around her to get a final drop of tea left on the chair leather, "I just ate you out, that doesn't even count."
Lily threws up her hands.
Since when doesn't going down on someone count as sex?
"It counts to me!"
Sirius slips around her and heads to the kitchen. Lily trailing him like a puppy, nervously looking over her shoulder in case James suddenly emerged.
"You're his best friend! His roommate! I have to tell him, he's going to hate me, we just got back together…"
Washing out the towel he'd used, Sirius leans against the counter and levels his gaze at her.
Even just his eyes make her skin tingle.
"James doesn't care who I fuck Lily."
Lily smacks his arm. What does that fucking matter?
"I think he'll care who I fuck!" She hisses, not fully comprehending why James would care who Sirius fucked in the first place?
Sirius laughs, wiping his hands on his cashmere sweatpants before resting them on her shoulders, steadying her. "If anything it'll make him like you more."
Lily opens her mouth to ask what the fuck that means when something hits her dead on.
"Wait." She takes a step back. Fully comprehending Sirius' little quip about timing just now, after the adrenaline has faded. "Did you bring me back here last night...did you fuck me, just to get James and I in the same room together?"
"Babe," Sirius smirks, taking a step toward her, "I'll admit I brought you back here so that you and Jay would finally talk shit out."
His hands slide down her arms. Fingers slipping into the waistband of her skirt. Her panties.
She's wet. She can feel it. Can feel Sirius part her like the fucking red sea. Fingers diving in.
"But…" He runs a wet finger from her clit, slowly, up across her stomach, between her breasts, to her lips. "I fucked you because I wanted to fuck you."
And then, he leans down.
And kisses her.
His teeth sinking into her bottom lip as he pulls away.
And Lily thinks she just came again.
"What are you two up to?" James asks, coming around the corner. Oblivious to her stinging lips, wet underwear, and Sirius' underhanded manipulations.
"Just chatting about you babe," Sirius laughs, fingers brushing Lily's arm as he gives James a kiss on the cheek and leaves them in the kitchen.
Finally. Alone.
