Entangled Again || With Sebastian Sallow

Ch 27: ILY 🌶️

Strolling once more through the rose garden, Juliet linked her arm through Sebastian's, huddling closer for warmth as it was a bit chilly outside.

"I'm impressed you didn't resort to violence tonight, Seb," she said admiringly to him.

"Well, at least someone, kicked Leander's ass. He had it coming," he smirked. "It was a matter of time, and it was actually nice it didn't have to be me for once!"

Juliet nodded in agreement.

"But in all seriousness..." he continued. "I have been doing a lot of work on myself, to deal with my anger and figuring out how best to channel it."

"It shows," Juliet's face softened, squeezing his arm in hers.

They heard some nervous muttering in the bushes, and soon came across the source of the chatter.

"What are you two doing out here?" Mr Moon scowled at them, quickly hiding his bottle of redcurrant rum behind him.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Might we ask you the same, Mr Moon?"

Juliet stifled a giggle as they watched Moon try and compose himself. He was clearly sloshed.

"Just... get back inside, the gardens are off limits to students for the rest of the evening. Don't you have a dance to attend?"

Sebastian made a point of looking at his watch. "It's almost midnight, Sir. The dance is almost at an end. Students will be pouring outside any minute, making their way back to their dorms and–"

Mr Moon scuffled to get to his feet. "Goodness, is that really the time? I best be off then. Errr... good evening to you both." He bowed awkwardly before scurrying off into the night.

Once he was out of sight, Juliet and Sebastian burst into laughter.

"Ohh, I'm not ready for this night to end just yet," Juliet looked up adoringly at Sebastian. "Are you?"

Sebastian looked down at Juliet's hands on his waist, and then back up to meet her gaze. He shook his head slowly.

"Then how about we... uh... go up to my room?" she asked, her voice filled with nervous excitement.

A wave of heat flushed over Sebastian, as he imagined her hands all over his naked body.

"Oh, is there something you want to show me in your room?" he asked her playfully.

Juliet bit her lip in anticipation, biting back the urge to respond saying something cheesy like "My body".

She looked around, there was no-one else in sight. It was a Hogwarts tradition to lose one's virginity after a Ball. And while she was no virgin, she still wanted to have sex. So perhaps she was just... leaning into tradition?

"I want to show you something magical," she grinned. "What do you say?"

Sebastian chuckled. "Is that so? Well, I accept your offer, Ms Brooks. But I have no interest in being caught on the way there by one of our cock-blocking Professors," he held his hand out to her, and she gingerly placed her hand in his. They cast the disillusionment spell and snuck up to her Room of Requirement.

Once they were in her room, they removed the spell and came into form. Sebastian admired the way Juliet's dress hugged her curves, glittering from the fire in the wall sconces lighting the room. The mischievous sparkle in his eyes matched her own.

Juliet led Sebastian out into her favourite Vivarium, her very first one that had appeared. She kicked off her heels and left them by the entrance, enjoying the feeling of the cool grass under her feet. After they tended to her animals, Sebastian conjured a picnic blanket and sat down cross-legged, pulling Juliet down to join him.
