Closed; An Unexpected Guest

[daphne_x]

It had been nearly three weeks now since Daphne and Cormac had gone into hiding, three weeks of complete solitude with only Tippy popping in and out every other day to bring fresh clothes, food, and any news that she could. The only news that Daphne was concerned about was Cecilia, hoping everyday that her trial would be pushed forward and she'd be

Cormac had started working when he was fourteen years old. He never had to, of course, the McLaggen fortune enough to keep him perfectly fine until his dying day if need be. But that was a terribly boring life, one his sister led perfectly fine without him tagging along. So, he did odd things around his neighborhood when he was home from school- landscaping, painting, hell- even some tutoring when he had the chance. Some of it was paid in Muggle money, the rest in sickles and knuts

As long as these days were, life was never boring with Cormac. He had this way of exciting her and encouraging her to push her own boundaries, be bolder and less proper in ways that were much more fun. It was one of the things that she loved about him.

In fact, she loved herself much more when she was with him and that had never been the case before. He made her better every day.

And he was so fine to look at, her eyes shamelessly trailing his body as she shifted in the bath.

"What are you waiting for, love? Sick of me already?" she teased.

"Not even possible-"

Which wasn't even close to being a lie. In all the time they had spent together, one would think they'd grow a little cabin fever- maybe get sick of one another. But this time together actually seemed good for them-

He pushed down the waist of his trousers, freeing himself from the fabric before taking a step into the bath. The thing was a monster, it was so big- and perfect for the two of them to curl up in together.

"Come here-" he said, his hand reaching to pull her closer toward him, a grin tugging at his lips.

Daphne shifted in the bath, slowly and carefully but a bit of water still managed to splash over the side. Normally it would have bothered her, worried that she was making a mess or that it would ruin the expensive finishes. That didn't bother her here, one less thing to stress over.

She settled in against Cormac, just as perfectly as she always did, and turned just enough to catch him in a slow kiss.

"Why don't we take baths more often?" she asked him, brushing a bit of messy blonde hair from his forehead.
