Chapter 58 - Teased

She woke up at 2:56 a.m. and looked around. The room was dark and she was alone. She sat up and slid her feet off of the bed.
“ Rus?”
She whispered Cyrus’ name into the darkness of the room. She heard a thud on the first floor. She pulled herself up off of the bed and made her way out of the room.
Aurelia was still asleep and the lullaby still rang out of her bedroom. Kit made her way down the stairs and saw a light on in the living room.
“ Cyrus?”
“ I’m in here, Kit.”
Kit followed Cyrus’ voice into the living room. He was sitting on the couch, sketching something on his sketchpad.
“ What’re you drawing, Rus?”
Cyrus looked up and blushed.
“ I was drawing you, from the wedding. Your beauty was absolutely stunning. I wanted to make a tribute to that day. It made me the happiest man in the wizarding world, I can promise you that.”
Kit blushed as well, grinning and brushing loose strands of hair behind her ears. She walked over to him and sat down beside him, looking down at the sketchpad. The drawing was so intricate. It detailed every aspect of Kit’s wedding gown and veil. The only thing left undone was the face.
“ I’m not quite finished with it. I just can’t seem to get your facial expression right. It was too beautiful…”
Kit smiled and laughed, hugging Cyrus.
“ I love you, Cyrus… I love you so much.”
Kit threw herself into his arms, hearing his sketchbook and quill hit the table. She pressed her lips against his lips forcefully, hoping he would catch the drift. He did manage to catch on. He returned the kiss eagerly, rubbing her waist and hips in the process.
“ Oh Kit… mmmm…”
Cyrus pressed Kit down against the couch on her back. He slid his hand under her shirt and continued his enjoyment for a moment. Kit seemed like she was holding back, though.
“ Why aren’t you into this?”
Kit blushed, rubbing her head with her newly freed hand.
“ I think we should take this to the bedroom… ya know? Maybe avoid waking our baby… please? I don’t want her to wake up during that…”
She blushed again, still embarrassed by her and Cyrus’ rendezvous that happened occasionally.
“ Oh, alright… I think I can wait that long…”
“ And, Cyrus, you’ll be… you know… using that spell… to avoid another unexpected pregnancy… I believe Remus would slaughter you if I expected another baby…”
Cyrus nodded, smiling, not just with his face, but his eyes sparkled with love, too.
“ Kathryn Riddle… you are my life now… I will do whatever you say…”
“ So… if I said to wait until tomorrow to continue this… you would do it, right?”
“ What? No! You can’t just lead me on like that and then give up! I…!”
Kit silenced him with a deep kiss.
“ Oh hush, I was kidding! Meet me upstairs… I need to check on something…”
Cyrus nodded and stood up, fluffing his mussy blonde hair. He waltzed happily up the staircase, humming to himself.
Kit followed behind him slowly, slowing to a stop in front of Aurelia’s door. She opened the door and peeked into the star-lit bedroom. Aurelia’s eyes were closed and her chest rose slowly and steadily. She had her lips slightly turned into a smile. She must’ve been having a nice dream. Kit looked around and then walked over to her daughter, stroking her cheek gently. She just leaned against the crib bars, gazing and stroking her cheek. She felt a slight breeze as the door opened slowly. Warm breath came down the back of her neck.
“ She looks like you…”
Kit smiled at Cyrus’ warm voice. He was right. She nodded taking his hand in her free one.
“ I say she looks more like you, Rus… she’s beautiful… just like her daddy…”
Cyrus kissed the hollow just behind Kit’s ear. She withdrew her hand from Aurelia’s crib and turned to face Cyrus, a wicked grin spreading across her face.
“ Meet me in the bedroom… I’ll join you in a moment…”
Cyrus smiled and nodded, taking his hand back and walking quietly out of the room. Kit turned back to face Aurelia, bending over and kissing her forehead before leaving the room.
Kit made her way into the bedroom, catching Cyrus making muscles in the mirror on the closet door. She held her breath to keep herself from bursting into laughter. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite work.
“ Haha! Oh my god! Cyrus! Haha!”
Kit felt her eyes beginning to water as she laughed. Cyrus turned fluorescent pink with humiliation. He took a huge step in the exact opposite direction of the mirror, folding his arms across his chest, sulking. Why did Kit walk in on that?
“ Come on… it wasn’t that funny…”
“ It was hysterical and you know it! Oh gosh!”
Kit covered her mouth to try and suppress her giggles, but to no avail. She closed her eyes and took three deep breaths and then calmed down.
“ Oh Cyrus… I love you…”
“ Yeah… okay…”
Kit moved towards him, taking his hands in hers once she got close enough.
“ Don’t be angry… I love you… now we’d better get going before I change my mind again…”
Cyrus couldn’t help but to smile at her. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him gently.
“ Play nicely, alright?”
Cyrus grinned and nodded, taking Kit in his arms and laying her down on the bed on her back. He began to kiss her and finally decided to take off his clothing and Kit’s along with it. His clothes were deposited at the foot of his bed and he refused to break his kiss with Kit. The early morning continued with muffled sounds from the master bedroom.
