The Becoming Habit

[James Dalton]

James closed his eyes and hummed to himself as he rocked back and forth upon one of the hills of the nearby meadow.
He had not taken Antoinette away in a while. It was getting to him. He needed her. Needed her love. Needed his way..
But he had discovered he could get his way. He had discovered that perhaps she was not the only one.. Yet with anyone else, James just felt empty and hollow afterwards. Just so empty.
He thought about this and began humming the tune he had hummed to Antoinette once from the shadows of Beauxbatons in the hope she would hear it and find him. But she hadn't.

 

[Svetlana Khamidouline]

Svetlana wore a dress, one rather revealing upon her beautifully tanned skin. She was truly a Russian beauty, but she was also...full of desires. She made men fall at her feet which were graced with high heeled stilettos. She adored the attention, and she adored the outcomes. Svetlana was always left pleased in the end. Svetlana now entered a meadow, and she smiled graciously at the sky. It was nice to finally get out and enjoy the weather of March. Spring. A time for mating, some would say. Then again, for Svetlana, that time was all the time. Leaning against the tree, she failed to notice a few cute male just meters away and in the distance of her dark eye sight.

 

[James Dalton]

James stopped humming abruptly, for now his ears picked up on something behind him.
It was only a slight sound but it was a sound nonetheless. A sound of light footsteps through the meadow.
James turned his head. A girl was leant against a tree not far away. A dark smile formed upon his lips and he stood up, walking with a confident stride towards this beauty. His next target.
"Does a diamond often stray far from it's homeland?" He said smoothly, approaching this girl.
He smiled softly. It would be a while before he could judge if she was going to put up a fight or not.

 

[Svetlana Khamidouline]

Her brown eyes narrowed in on a cute male. Couldn't be at all that much younger than her. But he was highly attractive. It made Svetlana turn on her charms, and she smiled, "Oh, is that a pick-up line for a lady? I don't think that it will work on this one. Try harder though." Svetlana narrowed her dark colored eyes, and she smiled seductively. Her teeth nipped at her bottom lip. Was she really playing hard to get? Truth be told, she was not hard to get at all. Svetlana was actually pretty easy when one touched her physically. Words did not have much affect on her.

 

[James Dalton]

"That depends," James said with a darkened half smile, stepping closer to the girl. "On whether or not you want it to be.."
He stepped closer. Now he was right in front of her, smiling on the outside but on the inside he hungered for his prey.
Still, he must be the gentleman and not merely snatch his prey from the ground.
"My name is James." James spoke softly, taking the girl's hand and planting his lips on it for just a moment.
He looked up at her, his eyes dark. They weren't always like this. Only when he had found something he desired.
"James Dalton.. And I have never met such a rose." He gave her another half smile, this one a bit more cheeky and playful.
Perhaps it was not a good idea to tell her his real name but he had not cared at that point in time.

 

[Svetlana Khamidouline]

Now that this man was closer to her, Svetlana could see just how handsome the man was. It could have taken her breath away. Little did she know that she was being sucked into this man’s aura a little too fast than the others. What made this man so different from all the other males? There had to be something. And her skin tingled from where his lips touched her hand. “I’m Svetlana Khamidouline.” The eyes were so dark, it mystified this brown-eyed girl. “Ah, a rose you say? That is a swell compliment, Mr. Dalton.” Svetlana cast a charming smile, almost mirrored to his. However, she was unaware of how dark he was, that he was a Death Eater. Svetlana did not associate herself with such dark crowds…until now.

 

[James Dalton]

James raised his left eyebrow in a flirtatious manner.
"Hm, yes." he gave a soft laugh. And then he took hold of her waist in one hand and her hand in his other.
"Enough talk." James said, his eyes dark and suddenly his grip became forceful. Powerful. "Let us get down to business.."
He smiled at her darkly and pushed her back into the tree, his lips first on hers, then roaming down her neck.
James was not a sane man; if he wanted something, he took it regardless.

 

[Svetlana Khamidouline]

Svetlana glanced down, watching his hands, but when his eyes were darker it seemed, and his grip sent a shock through her body, Svetlana wondered if she had doubts. This was moving awfully fast, more so than she ever thought possible. Svetlana’s back hit the tree, just enough to force herself into reality, and feel soft lips on hers. Oh how she missed lips on hers, the feeling of them. She shuddered, her arms wrapped around him, only drawing him in closer; her fingers snaking through his hair. Svetlana felt the lips on her neck, and her blood burned. “Will the business be extracted here, James?” She buried her face into his shoulder, allowing just a few nips so he could get the fact that she was willing.

 

[James Dalton]

James smiled though he continued to kiss down her neck.
"I see no reason why not," he managed to breath in between the kisses.
And then James forced himself upon her, holding her so her back was still against the tree.
He had changed since he had last seen Antoinette- because he had not seen her for so long.
She was the one he wanted. When he closed his eyes, he could pretend that it was her who was with him.

 

[Svetlana Khamidouline]

This man, his forcefulness was rather intriguing. Svetlana was excited for this new experience. Her hand clinched a fistful of hair, and Svetlana released a subtle moan. All this man was to this woman was an another time. Just another experience for her to add to her collection. The consequences were unseen, and Svetlana closed her dark brown eyes with hints of green. Never had she done such a sin out in broad daylight, in a meadow no less. Svetlana had to admit, this was going to be much more enjoyable than her most recent experiences. No strings attached, right? "Do to me what you will, James Dalton." However, Svetlana had no idea what a world of trouble she was getting into. As someone personally against the Death Eaters...she was about to commit a sin with one.

James lay on the ground, flat on his back, catching his breath.
He was smiling, nonetheless.
The meadow was silent but for the breeze rustling through. The breeze that rolled over James' body, soothing his skin.
Only now did the thoughts come back to him.. Antoinette. He loved her. He loved Antoinette and nothing could change that.. But what if she found out? What if she randomly apparated and caught him laying there with another woman?
James stood up suddenly, pulling on his clothes and grabbing his wand.
He looked to Svetlana, saying nothing and panicking, he thought to the little place he had made just for him and Antoinette.. He wanted to be there.
He shut his eyes, having to think hard about it and then.. 'Crack!'
James was gone. Gone to the home for him and Antoinette, a plan in his mind.
She'd never have to know he'd been unfaithful, right? She'd never find out..

That was where James was wrong.

 

[Svetlana Khamidouline]

Svetlana had her brown eyes closed, and she had a subtle smile on her face. Though a crack snapped her into reality. James was one of the best she had been with, but she was a little irritated... He left before she did. Svetlana shrugged and she thought to herself, Fun without strings attached... She put her clothes back on, and she could feel the breeze. Little did she know that James had changed her life forever. Her eyes sparkled in the sunlight, and she glanced up after putting her shoes on. She made her own exit, before she smiled to herself. Svetlana was always cheery after some fun. No harm in that, is there?
