Chapter One
Dinner with the Malfoy’s
(AKA the Devil’s mistress)
Sunlight poured through the floor to ceiling windows of Rose and Scorpius’ bedroom, warming the couple. The windows looked out into the backyard and the smell of freshly baked bread came through the vents, causing the couple to stir in their beds. The room was simple with white moulding and crowning, pale blue walls and a four poster bed, white curtains stirring in the sweet smelling air.
Rose opened her eyes before her husband, the first thing she saw was him, and this was what she wanted out of life; waking up beside Scorpius every day and going to sleep in his arms at night.
Turning over, she stretched and glanced at the clock. “Shit!” she cried, tumbling out of bed and onto the floor, white sheets twisting around her long pale legs. “Scorp!”
Scorpius rolled over and peered over the bed at her, narrowing his eyes in confusion “What the hell are you doing, Red?” he asked drowsily.
“Its seven thirty!” scrambling to her feet Rose dashed into the bathroom “We’re both going to be late, now get up before I have to whip that fine bum of yours.”
Grinning, Scorpius got out of bed and walked over to her, looking regal as a god in his sunlit nakedness; wrapping his arms around her from behind, he leaned down to whisper in her ear “I love it when you wear my shirts,”
Suppressing a laugh, she nudged him towards the shower “Go on now, I’ll hop in after.”
“Why don’t you join me?” he asked, winking flirtatiously “It’ll be more fun.”
“You prude, just shower!” Rose escaped her husbands grasp around her slim waist and dashed into the bedroom, but stopped short as a wave of nausea hit her. Grasping onto the bedpost as the world spun, Rose breathed deeply; this had been happing a lot lately in the past few days-Scorp liked to joke it was from all the paint fumes.
“Rose?” Scorpius asked worriedly, coming out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped low around his waist and dripping with glistening water droplets, hair plastered to his forehead.
Taking a moment to admire Scorpius, Rose smiled feebly “I’m fine, just…I got a bit dizzy, and that’s all.”
Putting a hand to her forehead, Scorp frowned “You feel a little hot; maybe you should stay home from the studio today.”
Shaking her head fiercely, Rose backed away towards the bathroom “No way; I’m talking to that dealer today, remember? I’m not staying home.”
“I hate how stubborn you are.” He said, but smiled “Well, I love it too, just not when you’re sick.”
“I am not sick.”
Shrugging, Scorp kissed her forehead as she tried to take off his shirt “Who’s the doctor, anyway?”
