Look Here, Woman

[Sumner Drage]

Twilight had settled over the small shopping village. The once giggling crowd of rowdy teens were slowly replaced by a more serious lot, those more interested in adult activities than merriment. Broad back perched against a wall, a cigarette smoking in his hand, Sumner Drage watched the stacked blonde close up shop, keys jingling from the keyring in her slender hand. Light grey eyes narrowed against the smoke as he took a drag, the tall pureblood lifted his chin arrogantly to anyone who chanced to see him in the mouth of the darkened alley way.

Cherry extinguished beneath his booted foot, he exhaled one last cloud of smoke and hummed deep within his chest. She wasn't what he would have gone for years ago. He'd had a thing for older women with dark hair and dark eyes, way out of his league. Then the hell kat he'd dated had cured him of the brunette variety. She'd literally chased him into the arms of her best friend. That fiery female he'd gone without for too long. Far far too long. She'd always been sassy but lately it seemed as though she wanted to establish her independence. Staying later at the shop, picking up more practices, taking on more responsiblity.

Sumner thought it time to show her he wasn't content to sit around and wait until practice season started for him. Or let her call all the shots. He wanted his wife and he wanted to keep her on her delicious painted toes. Which was why, as she passed the alley way without so much as a glance over at him, Sumner pounced.

Long, strong arms darted around Lily Drage, one hand covered her mouth and with a decadent laugh, Sumner pulled his petite blonde lover into the darkness with him.

 

[Lily Drage]

It had been a long day. First, this morning was practice, then it was her day to work at the shop overseeing the younger staff members. Many of them were able to run the place on their own, but Courtney and she liked to split the load for the most part. The only downside to her insane schedule was her lack of time with her husband. Lily Drage had only one thought on her mind as she finished up the books for the night and closed up Gladrag's Wizardwear -- getting home to Sumner.

Never in a million years had she thought that her life would have worked out this way. She loved her husband with all of her heart and soul, but just two short years ago, both of them thought they were in love with other people. The Slytherin that had held her heart, well, the pair of Slytherins, were no match for the Ravenclaw that owned hers now for all of eternity. They were the perfect match for each other in bed and out. Friends and teammates first, becoming lovers followed and turned into a love that neither of them had known before. Just the simple thought of Sumner Drage brought a loving smile to Lily's face as she headed out the door and made sure to lock it tight before starting down the street.

Her eyes forward, she made her way quickly with one thought in mind. Strong arms quickly slid around her waist, a hand over her mouth as laughter echoed in the alleyway and pulled her into the darkness. Squirming against the strong hold did nothing against the seemingly wall of man that held her to him. An all too familiar wall of man. Her pulse began to race as she realized it was her husband that was her captor, the scent of sandlewood and cigarettes mingling in her nostrils. She was curious what he was up to, so she opted to play along, fighting against the hold that he had her in, her free hand attempting to remove the hand from her mouth to no avail.
