TW Sex

I walk across the room, leaning against the railing beside him. The castle grounds outside the tower are covered in snow, reflecting the light from the crescent moon.

We're both silent, just staring out at the sky above us and the snowy ground beneath us.

"I missed you," His words came out softly.

I glanced over at him, memorizing the way that the moon light illuminated the dips and curves of his pale face.

"I missed you too," I say, which surprises me.

Silence comes over us again. Not the uncomfortable kind that makes you unsettled, but the kind that makes you feel almost peaceful.

He's wearing a jumper and pajama pants, sneakers on his feet.

"I'm sorry about the other night," I admit, "I practically threw myself at you, and I wasn't even that drunk. I'm sorry."

Regulus smirked, "I'm not."

I stare at him, waiting for him to continue.

"I'm just sorry that the both of us weren't sober," He continued. "Normally I would say 'fuck it' and do it, but not with you."

"Not with me?" I ask, my heart flattering.

Regulus shakes his head. "I don't want that with you-, well, I do," He interrupts himself, "I just don't want it to be that way."

"What way?" I questioned, leaning closer to him.

"I don't just want a drunk hookup with you, Meredith. You deserve more than that," He says, staring at me.

Our eyes are locked together.

My mind is racing a mile a minute, my heart pounding in my chest as I process the wait of his words.

"Reg?" I whisper.

His eyes soften, "Yeah?"

"Kiss me."

Regulus takes my face in his hands and closes the distance between us. His lips brush against mine before he properly kisses me.

I wrap my arms around his abdomen as our bodies practically curve together.

He kisses me slowly, like we have all of the time in the world. I kiss him back, needing to be even closer to him. Our lips curve together, stealing my breath.

When we break apart, our foreheads stay pressed together.

My heart is beating rapidly, my hands fiddling with the hem of his jumper.

"Are you okay?" Regulus whispers, pulling back just enough so that he can look me in the eyes.

I nod, feeling his cold hands on either side of my face. "Yeah, I am," I respond. "Are you?"

"Yeah, I am," He says, nodding slowly.

I pull away from him, sitting down on the ledge and letting my legs hang. Regulus follows, sitting beside me.

"What's going through your head?" Regulus asks.

I shrug, "This, this thing between us, should feel wrong."

I can feel his eyes on me.

"But, it doesn't," I continue. "It feels so right, and that scares me."

Regulus pulls his legs up and turns to face me, his knee resting on top of mine. "I know," He says, "You're driving me mental, you know that?"

"I am?" I ask, pulling my legs up and turning to face him.

Our knees are touching, our faces close enough that I could just lean in and kiss him.

"Yeah, you are," He admits.

I lean in and kiss him this time, holding his face between my hands. This time it's different though, so many unspoken words passing between us, so much passion.

Regulus's hands are on my waist as I lay down, bringing him with me. He's propped himself up on top of me.

He laughs softly, "Merlin, we are so close to the edge."

"What? Scared of heights?" I tease.

"No, scared of falling to my death," Regulus says.

I move further from the railing, closer to the solid walls. I kick my sneakers off, moving them off to the side.

"Come here," I whisper.

Regulus wastes no time, and before I know it, his shoes are in a pile with mine and he's back on top of me and our lips are pressed together.

His lips move down my neck unless he's kissing the spot just above my collarbone. The spot that he knows will make me crumble.

I bite my lip to keep quiet as he leaves a love bite on my neck.

Regulus kisses me again, with more passion and desire.

I flip us over so that I'm on top. My legs are on either side of his waist so that I'm straddling him. I kiss his neck, finding the spots that make him inhale sharply and make his heart beat faster.

I leave a love bite on his neck, making him squirm under me.

"Fuck, Meredith," Regulus mutters.

He's growing hard beneath me, and I move my hips softly, needing some sort of friction.

We kiss again, and I'm blinding fumbling with the waistband on his pajama pants.

"Wait, wait, wait," Regulus says.

I pull back from him, resting my hands on his chest.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asks, staring at me.

I nod, "Yes, I'm sure."

Regulus nods before switching us so that he's on top of me again.

We're kissing again, blindly fumbling at each other's pants.

I raised my hips up, and he takes my sweatpants off, throwing them behind my head. He kicks his pajama pants the rest of the way off and throws them in the direction of my sweatpants.

He kisses down my neck, stopping at my collarbone. "Are you okay?" He asks.

This is my first time.

I nodded, "Yes, I'm perfect."

Regulus kisses me again before moving down, kissing the insides of my thighs.

My entire body craves him.

He kisses up my thighs, getting closer and closer. He presses a kiss against me through the thin fabric of my underwear, and my entire body feels like it's on fire.

Regulus slides my underwear off, his lips returning to my inner thighs. He presses one last kiss against me before coming back up towards me, taking his underwear off.

I quickly glance down.

Holy shit.

We kiss again, bodies desperate for more.

"You ready?"

I nod in response, kissing him again.

He slowly pushes into me, sending shock waves through my body.

It takes me a minute to get adjusted before he starts moving in and out of me. His pace is slow, making the pain quite bearable.

I slide my hands up the back of his jumper, my fingers memorizing every muscle in his back.

Regulus starts going faster, and the both of us are breathing heavily. At this point, we're not even kissing anymore, our lips are just lazily pressed together.

"You feel so good," He groans, his forehead falling against mine.

I let out a moan as he hit the perfect spot inside of me.

"Right there," I whisper. "Please don't stop."

He keeps pounding in and out of me, and I can feel myself quickly approaching the brink as he hits all the right spots.

"You're taking it so good," He praises.

I moan, not sure if it's from him or from his words.

He goes harder, holding in moans as we both get closer.

"Fuck, I'm going to-"

Regulus fucks me harder, and I feel myself falling apart against his touch. My back arching, my breathing heavily, as I moan his name.

"So good, so beautiful," He groans.

He lets out a moan, his eyes fluttering closed as he comes inside of me.

"Fuck," Regulus says, collapsing on top of me.

He slowly pulls out of me, pressing a gentle kiss against my lips.

Regulus reaches behind my head and hands me my clothes as he lays down beside me.

I slip my underwear back on and put my sweatpants on as he's tying his pajama pants.

He reaches for me, pulling me close to him as our bodies radiate heat.

We lie like that for a while, staring up at the stars as we catch our breath.

"I'm on birth control," I say, turning my head to look at him.

He's already staring at me. "Okay," He replies, "I was going to use the spell if you weren't."

I stare back up at the sky, making shapes out of the stars in my mind.

"You don't regret it already, do you?" Regulus asks, his voice quiet.

I turn and look at him again, shaking my head. "No, I'm glad that we did." I exhale slowly. "Do you regret it?"

"No," Regulus answers, "But I regret not doing it sooner."

I kiss him softly, my hand brushing through the soft waves of his hair.

Regulus smiles at me when we break apart and pulls me closer to his chest.
