So read on and enjoy and let me know if you like my "adaptation"

She unfurled herself from the cocoon she had rolled herself into last night with a light groan.

Then she proceeded to groan loudly as soon as the events of the previous afternoon returned to her in a rush of images.

Bugger!

How could she have forgotten? She didn't know what had come over her, she really didn't. Not only had she kissed him, she had, for some unknown reason, bitten his lip while doing it.

Admittedly she wasn't all that practiced in relationships, but she was pretty sure that, at the least, it was impolite and down right offensive, at the worst, to treat the person you were kissing as if they were a tasty treat—especially if you weren't even technically dating said person.

Oh Merlin, he was never going to talk to her again, he was never going to kiss her again, he was going to tell the whole school what a weirdo she was.

And then she would have to go and become a nun, while he went off and married a beautiful woman who would fulfil all his desires and who would never try to eat him alive. All in all, leaving Lily to live the rest of her life pining away in the nunnery for the love she could have once had.

But it really was his fault, she rationalised after a moment. If only he hadn't kissed her, without her permission no less, so warmly and tenderly that first time a few days ago. If only she hadn't experience such an intense flash of attraction and passion from the feeling of his lips on hers, then she felt sure she would never have spent the last few days fantasising and thinking non-stop about his lips. And if she hadn't spent all that time thinking about his lips then she never would have kissed him with so much abandon the second time anyway.

She covered her face totally mortified. Why had she done that? It was such a bizarre thing to do.

Just after she had done it she remembered thinking that she couldn't bare to look at him and see in his face that he thought that there was something wrong with her.

She had felt sure he would storm off, firstly to have his lip fixed by the nurse and then to tell the whole school what a cannibalistic tart she was. So she had been shocked when he hadn't turned around and left her as she had been expecting, but instead had reached up and drawn her hands away from her face and kissed her again. That kiss had been neither chaste nor warm; instead, it had been a long deep white hot kiss, full of passion.

That kiss was replaced with another and another until each was indistinguishable from the next. She had been so wrapped up in the feel of his mouth that it had taken a few moments to realise that he had also wrapped his arms so tightly around her that their bodies had become almost impossible to tell apart .

At the time, she distinctly remembers thinking it was amazing how much writhing could be accomplished with so little room between them.

Her lungs had just started to tell her that she needed air when he had abruptly stopped kissing her. She had been so flustered by both his reaction and her own that it had taken her a moment to realise he had stopped. He turned away from her with his shoulder heaving and keeping the same deep rhythm as hers.

She had put a hand across her eyes and closed them and then after a moment, perhaps when oxygen had returned to her brain allowing for conscious thought again, she had realised he was right. As much as she hadn't wanted him to let go of her she knew he had to.

Nevertheless, she had decided she needed to talk to him about…his… her…their… well she discovered that that was the problem: what was it? It had felt quite strongly like naked lust.

Tucking her dishevelled hair behind her ear self consciously Lily said in a wavering voice "Umm wow, I had no idea it could be like that…"

In response to her words he had dropped his chin to his chest momentarily then turned to look at her. He had had an expression on his face that she had never on him seen before, and upon seeing it she had felt a desperate need to hug him and tell him everything would be fine. Her feelings on the matter, however, had seemed quite unapparent to him.

"I'm sorry that was unforgivable," he said. "I've just been waiting so long for you to kiss me. I didn't mean to get so carried away."

It seemed her complicity in the kiss was quite unapparent to him as well.

"Don't be silly, you're being too harsh on us. It was only a little –" when he had raise his eyebrows she amended "- okay, a lot – of kissing"

With her use of the collective he had looked directly at her. As he did so, she turned her head slightly and smiled fully; she was teasing him and blatantly trying to get him to kiss her again.

That action seemed to amuse him to no end and even made him smile again. Nevertheless, he stood his ground. Therefore when his hands reached out for her again they only cupped her face in his hands tracing the curve of her cheeks.

"You'll be the death of me yet," he whispered before lacing her fingers with his and leading her back into the castle, into the common room, and over to the stairs that lead to the girls dormitory. He had then laid a very "proper" kiss on her cheek before rushing off up to his own room, effectively leaving Lily a little bewildered, and after having a moment to allow exactly what had happened between them to sink in, a little embarrassed as well.

All of which led her right back to where she currently was—groaning, red faced, curled in a cocoon of blankets, and with the distinct feeling that her carefully built façade had been ruined.

It was pretty safe to say there was no way to cover up the way she felt for him now. Her secret had been discovered, and not just by anyone, but by Potter himself.

Bugger.

This is shamelessly based on Mr Darcy Takes a Wife by Linda Berdoll. It not plagiarism if you cite your source ;) – I just loved the book (cheesy as it is) and thought it would be a great L/J. So I cut, fiddled and adapted and tuhdah….

I know the chaps are kinda short, but they should come quite quickly. I have the second chap all ready and waiting to be beta'd, so if you want hear James tale…. REVIEW
