Lily's P.O.V.
Erebus and I just sat there for a while, him holding me while I sit there useless. I sniff and wipe under my eyes, before getting off of his lap and offering a hand. Erebus grabs my hand and smirks.
"What's with the smirk-OH!" Erebus jerks me back onto his lap and locks his arms around me.
"I don't want to see you cry anymore." He says as I lean into his embrace. "Everything will be okay" he whispers. With his eyes locked on my own, he leans closer. My heart was pounding faster and faster as he came nearer. Looking closer, I notice a small scar on the bridge of Erebus's nose. And for a fleeting moment I began to wonder how he got it. A tingling feeling enveloped my body and suddenly I wanted to know everything about the man standing in front of me. And more than anything, I wanted to feel his lips on my own. Just as the longing became unbearable, his lips met mine. The warmth of his mouth sent a current running through my body. I scooted further onto Erebus's lap and wrap my arms around his neck as I begin to lose myself in his peppermint breath and soft lips.
And just like that the kiss was over. I suddenly became aware of my surroundings.
"Uh...I have to go," I mumble, before getting up and stepping back to create space between the two of us, "I don't want to freak my brothers out."

"Of course not," Erebus chuckled as he rose to his own feet. I huffed and stepped closer to him.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask. He steps closer to me and wraps his arms around my waist, leaning down and resting his head in the crook of my neck.
"I just find it quite amusing that your siblings would "freak out" if they knew about your predicament." He mumbles, I could feel the scratchy stubble of his beard as his warm lips trailed across my neck. I let out a sigh and wrap my arms around his neck once more.
"We shouldn't be doing this" I whisper. "The boys are literally in the room behind us." Suddenly, he turns around and pushes me against the wall, putting a finger to my lips.
"You should relax." Erebus murmurs before smiling as the space between our mouths grew closer ever so slowly. I rolled my eyes before welcoming his intentions, wanting nothing more than to be held in his arms. Swiftly our lips met and set a fire in my heart, the flames dancing much like our tongues. We separated slowly, savoring the feeling of being within each other's arms.
"I can't do this." I say in a soft voice. Erebus sighs and runs his hand through his hair.
"I should apologize." Erebus says as he picks up the bag of food and hands it to me. Our hands meet as he hands me the bag, and I turn to unlock the door. His sent overwhelmed me as he wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned towards me. I stopped breathing as his lips grazed across my neck again before he whispered into my ear.
"But that would imply that I regret my actions." My eyes widen as all the oxygen leaves my lungs. Erebus's warmth leaves me and I quickly turn around to face him. Only to see nothing behind me.

He was gone.







Its short I know, I didn't have a lot of time!
