I'm finally open to see...

[mynuet]

This is an AU. A sexy, sexy AU. With extra sex.

Summary: Malcolm and Millie share the love with Theo. Literally.

There was a crash as Theodore apparated into Millie's parlour right onto the edge of a table. He cursed and kicked the offending piece of furniture before looking up to see Millie and Malcolm looking at him as if he had gone completely barmy.

"Sorry, Millie," he said, raking a hand through his hair. "I just came from Azkaban." He swallowed hard before continuing. "Father's dead."

He sank into a chair. "I thought I'd feel relief, or maybe be glad. But I don't."

"Oh, Theo," Millie said, rising from the sofa where she'd been sitting on Malcolm's lap, "I'm really sorry." She kissed him on the cheek before wrapping her arms around him. "I can't imagine how you must feel."

"At the very least, I had hoped I would feel nothing," he admitted. "It's a heavy thing, having the whole family line right here." He pointed to his chest. Family, purity in that sense, had always been important. That much of his father's rhetoric had taken root in Theo's values, and until today, he'd not considered that the Nott line could very well end with him.

Malcolm continued to lounge on the sofa, content to leave the hugging to Millie. "If you actually end up procreating, I owe Orla a lot of money. I could've sworn you never would."

"I suppose I could let the line end with me," Theodore said, the smallest hint of a smile ghosting across his features. "But if it comes down to me deciding whether you or Orla win a lot of money, I'd rather support her."

He sobered again almost immediately, however. "I'm not sure..." He stopped, then tried again. "I don't know what to do. I never planned on settling down. And now my father is dead and I can't prove him right. I'm not the ruin of our family."

"Of course you're not." Millie moved over to the bar and poured three large drinks, passing one off to Theo and taking the other to Malcolm as she sat back down beside him.

One drink turned to two and the conversation turned lighthearted and general until Malcolm said meditatively, "Well, actually, now your dad's dead, you kind of are the ruin of your family, but you're the salvation, too. Since the family's just you right now, you're the worst and the best."

Theodore leveled his gaze on Malcolm as he considered his friend's words. "True," he said at last. "But let's face it. The only relationship I've ever had beyond friendship has been with Goldstein, and we are all aware of how well that worked out, are we not?" He leaned back in his chair and raked a hand through his hair. "Obviously I'm not very good at that sort of thing."

Malcolm's teeth gleamed in the dim light as he smiled, his words only slightly slurred as he said, "What you need is to learn how to treat a woman when you're not punishing her. I'd say you could watch a master at work, but Millie's a bit shy, and very firm on the concept of who gets to see me naked and fucking."

The alcohol made him heady, and his words tumbled out with no hesitation, for there was no pause needed to contemplate it. "What do you say, Millie?" Theodore asked, eyes flickering to her. "Think you could make an exception for me this one time?"

This was her dear friend, and she'd never deny Theo something he needed if it were in her power to grant it, but still her eyes widened a bit at the thought. "For you, Theo? Of course." She was just drunk enough that his request made perfect sense to her, so standing to retrieve Theo from his chair, she led him back to the sofa and pulled him down beside her and Malcolm.

"No excuses now, Baddock," Theo said, a hint of a smirk on his lips. "Teach me where I've been going wrong, then." His hand was still within Millie's smaller one, and as he watched Malcolm, he began tracing small circles on her palm with his thumb.

If he was going to do this, he might as well do it right, so Malcolm linked his hand through Theo's and guided it up to Millie's face, tracing a line down the side of it with both of their fingers. "The first thing to remember is that you need to make her feel beautiful, and like you appreciate the privilege of being with her. And since today you're getting a unique opportunity to touch my beautiful girl, being appreciative should be easy."

Millie met Malcolm's eyes and her heart began to beat faster at the intensity of his gaze. The sensation of both his and Theo's fingers ghosting along her face sent shivers down her spine, and as she listened to Malcolm's words, she moaned softly in anticipation of what was to come.

Theodore smiled softly at Millie before he responded to Malcolm's words. "You've always been beautiful, Millie." He assumed it was the drink that was making him sound so earnest, but in this moment it didn't feel awkward or out of the ordinary.

Their fingers traced Millie's eyelids, and then her bottom lip, and Theodore smiled to see her mouth fall slightly open again.

"The next step is kissing," Malcolm said softly, but instead of kissing Millie to demonstrate, he turned slightly to put his lips against Theo's.

That had been slightly unexpected, but only because it had come from Malcolm. Theo's breath caught nonetheless and he made a small noise of assent. Kissing's good.

"It's a bit different now that there's stubble," Malcolm said with a wink at Theo. "Still okay, though, so now you get to kiss Millie about like that."

Theo smiled at that, but pushed aside memories to turn to Millie. His hand came automatically to caress the side of her face, tilting her head back gently and capturing her lips with his.

Millie'd been thoroughly distracted while watching Malcolm and Theo, so when the attention was turned back to herself, she startled a bit before relaxing against Theo. His lips were soft, but insistent, and as she smiled against his mouth, she closed her eyes and yielded to the pressure, opening her mouth slightly even as Malcolm moved her onto his lap, splaying his hands over her stomach.

It was strange, watching Millie kissing someone else and not wanting to kill him. He was still jealous, but it wasn't consuming, and he thought maybe it was because he knew completely that Theo was only trespassing because he had permission, and it'd stop the instant he wanted it to. It was even possible for him to be happy that Millie was enjoying herself, because it was still due to him - he was just using Theo as a way to make Millie happy, and letting Theo know how much he was part of their lives.

The fact that it was kind of hot was mostly irrelevant.

The permission Millie had given him by parting her lips was enough for Theo, and he deepened the kiss slightly, tracing her bottom lip with his tongue.

Malcolm's hands were drifting lower as he caressed Millie, and she paused just slightly before bringing her hands to Theo's chest, exploring him as her fingers pressed demandingly against the thick jersey he was wearing. It was frustrating, and with a growl of irritation, she pulled on the offending garment while pushing her tongue into Theo's mouth, sliding it against his own. Struggling to pull it off of him, she pulled back to devote her full attention to the matter and then smiled down at Theo appreciatively when he shrugged out of his shirt.

"If we're taking clothes off already, what do you say we go find one of the enormous and comfortable beds this place has?" Giving Theo a slight shove, Malcolm helped Millie to her feet and then stood. "You two can argue on the way about who gets to take my trousers off."

Millie led them down the hall, saying to Theo with a giggle, "Since we're sharing today, I'll give you the honor." Turning into the first bedroom, Millie smiled at the sight of the two men before her and the bed in the center of the room. Pulling the pin out of her hair, she let it fall, and shaking her head, she slipped out of her shoes and climbed up onto the bed, gesturing to them both to join her.

Feeling slightly bolder now that they were in a bedroom and neither of the other two was looking put out about this turn of events, Theodore turned to Malcolm.

"Hardly fair if I'm the only shirtless one," he murmured, hands moving to unbutton the shirt his friend was wearing. He paused, using the now-open shirt to pull Malcolm towards him and capturing the other man's lips in a searing kiss. Sliding his hands over Malcolm's shoulders, he got the offending article of clothing out of the way before breaking the kiss. "Now you can show me how I ought to go about joining her on the bed."

Malcolm licked his lips and moved to stand behind Theo, looking past his shoulder to where Millie was watching them with breathless fascination. "Crawl up the bed. Kiss anything in your path - you go left, I'll go right. Feel free to do some improvising, or just look over at me if you need any guidance."

Theodore didn't need telling twice, and the both of them made their way up Millie's body, trailing kisses along her legs, and tracing elaborate designs with their fingertips.

Overwhelming would have been the word Millie used to describe the sensations the men were causing -if she'd been able to concentrate enough to think on that- but as it were, she was too busy working at keeping her breathing steady, and with her eyes closed, trying to figure out which hands belonged to whom. She gasped as she felt a tongue on the underside of her knee and reached out to pull both boys up to her by their hair, kissing the first one who made it up to her face which happened to be Theo, and then when she had snogged him to the point of breathlessness, she began on Malcolm.

As Malcolm and Millie kissed, Theodore began to work on her shirt buttons, gently tracing the skin that he revealed with his fingertips. As Malcolm shifted slightly, Theodore dropped his head to press kisses to the soft skin of her abdomen.

She leaned her head to the side so that Malcolm could get her favorite spot on her neck, while struggling to free herself from her shirt, all the while feeling as if her skin were pleasantly on fire from two sets of lips ministering to her.

Soothingly, Malcolm stroked Millie's arms, sliding her blouse down before unhooking her bra and letting that fall away, too. "Usually around this point, there's a compliment - Millie likes being reminded that I love every bit of her, but her sweet breasts are particular favorites."

Millie blushed, biting her lower lip and momentarily closing her eyes and steeling her resolve before looking up at Malcolm with a grin. He returned the grin and pressed against her side, looking at Theo expectantly.

"I've always loved your eyes," Theodore murmured to Millie, brushing a kiss across each of her eyelids. "You've always seen me." He grinned then, tracing a finger along her now-bared side. "I'll admit I find this particularly fascinating, as well," he said, lightly settling his hand on her hip.

"Thank you," she said, running her fingers through his hair, and pulling his head to one of her breasts she moaned as Theo's tongue darted out to taste her. "Mmm... Theo," she said softly, opening her eyes wide to look into Malcolm's when she'd realized what she'd said. Her breath caught in her throat at the smoldering look he gave her and with the hand that wasn't fisted in Theo's hair, she used it to work at undoing Malcolm's trousers.

With a crooked grin, Malcolm moved her hand to Theo's waistband. "Be nice to our guest, Mills. You promised he'd handle my trousers, so you have to handle his... And in the meantime, I'll find something to keep myself busy," he said piously, even as he tweaked one of her nipples.

"There is that. I did give my word." Pushing Theo away from her gently, she sat up and rolled him onto his back before climbing between his legs. "And I'd never dream of being impolite to a guest." She looked down at Theo with an impish grin as her hands deftly removed his belt and made short work of the fastenings on his trousers. Taking a handful of the fabric on either side of his hips, making sure to hook her fingers in the boxers underneath, she pulled them down his legs, smiling widely as Theo was completely exposed.

Feeling a bit awkward now that there was a naked penis in the room that wasn't his, Malcolm went with his strength and made Millie shiver as he stripped her of her remaining clothes, nipping playfully at her skin as he pulled her panties down her legs.

Theodore watched as Millie bit her lip. She clearly wanted to turn around and remove Malcolm's trousers, so he nodded. "Malcolm's overdressed, still, Millie," he murmured. "Would you mind fixing that?" As she turned, Theo sat forward and slowly trailed his hands down her back, over her arse and then gently dragged his fingernails along her inner thighs.

Millie shivered at Theo's touches, but excitedly reached for Malcolm, his trousers disappearing in seconds. Unable to withstand the temptation, she reached out and wrapped her long, slim fingers around Malcolm's length, gasping as Theo reached around her to place his hand around hers. Smiling at Theo, she leaned forward to kiss him lightly on the mouth.

Watching them trade kisses, Malcolm's excitement was mixed with just enough irritation for him to say, "So, is one of you going to start sucking my cock, or is there a more interesting plan on the upcoming agenda?"

Raising an eyebrow at Theo, Millie leaned over Malcolm, one hand still wrapped around him and the other grasping his hip firmly. She closed her mouth around him, sighing with the same sense of delight and satisfaction she always got from doing this to Malcolm. His fingers tangled in her hair, just to the point of pain how she liked it, and he pulled on her head while she squeezed and sucked with her hand and mouth like she knew he liked it.

With Malcolm and Millie both caught up, Theodore took a moment to simply watch before taking action of his own. One hand settled on Millie's hip as he slid the other up her inner thigh. He slowly parted her nether lips and brushed his fingers along her before dipping his head to taste her.

Millie's fingernails dug deeply into the skin of Malcolm's hip, even as her jaw went slack for a moment from the unexpected pleasure that Theo was delivering with his mouth. It took her some time to find her rhythm again, and she began to moan in earnest around Malcolm's erection when Theo found a rhythm of his own.

It might've been a boost to his pride to last longer, but with Millie moaning around his cock and obviously on edge, Malcolm didn't see any shame in giving in, his hand tightening in her hair before he loosened his grip, softly caressing the side of her face as she clamped her mouth around him and sucked hard. Gasping, Malcolm's eyes met Theo's and he almost laughed, because this was so surreal, but it felt good, so what the hell?

Theo would have smiled at Malcolm, but the sounds that Millie was making were pulling his focus back to her. He continued using his tongue and fingers, not wanting to stop until she was at least very close to her climax.

Her head resting on Malcolm's abdomen, she reached for his hands, needing something to hold as Theo was currently making her feel as if she were boneless, with his fingers twisting inside her and his tongue moving in a way that had her nearly begging for her release. Grasping her hands tightly, Malcolm whispered, "Come on, sweetheart, let Theo make you feel good. Let him feel how hot you are when you come, baby, come on."

Theodore was vaguely aware of Malcolm's murmuring, but as he felt Millie's body begin to stiffen, his attention was fully back on her. He increased his pace, and marvelled at how she seemed to come apart in front of him, clutching Malcolm like a life raft. As her heart rate slowed, he moved beside her, and kissed Malcolm, sliding his tongue along the other man's.

A bit hesitantly, Malcolm reached up and pushed Theo's hair back from his face. "All right?"

Theodore nodded, though desire was coiled in his belly like a too-tight spring. "All right," he answered, a hand straying to Millie's hair as well. "Millie?"

She lifted her head off of Malcolm's middle, and nodded at them, not really having words to describe exactly how all right she was. "I'm afraid that we weren't very polite, Malcolm," she said after a moment, her eyes going wide at Theo's hardness.

"Guess not," Malcolm said, and did his best to look casual as he put his hand around Theo, stroking slowly. "Reckon you should help me do something about it."

Blushing slightly, she nodded at Malcolm and winked at Theo, sliding off Malcolm's chest and arranging herself in between the two of them. Slowly, starting at Theo's chest, she licked her way down to his abdomen, her tongue dipping into his belly button and then swirling around it before continuing southward, finally flicking her tongue against the tip of him. Malcolm's hand was still wrapped around Theo, and Millie took him into her mouth, her lips touching Malcolm's fingers, and they began to work in tandem, Millie sucking and Malcolm stroking, while Millie let her fingers wander over the parts of Theo that Malcolm's hand wasn't covering.

Theo's head fell back, a low growl escaping him as he fought to keep himself from bucking his hips upwards. He managed to keep it to a low twitch, and as Millie gave a small hum, he couldn't keep from biting his lip. He opened his eyes to watch the two of them and tangled a hand into each head of hair.

Flicking his eyes up to Theo's face and then to Millie's, Malcolm grinned mischievously and wriggled down until he could kiss Millie, their tongues dueling around Theo's cock as Malcolm ran his hand down over Millie's body, caressing her skin until her hair was standing on end from the electric feeling of anticipation.

Millie squirmed against Malcolm's hand; she was quite certain he was teasing her, but then Theo moaned and all she could think of was bringing him the same kind of pleasure he'd provided her and she redoubled her efforts, sucking and nibbling greedily as Malcolm took a more relaxed approach, for Millie was intent on being the one who made Theo come.

Theodore could feel his climax building, the surreal nature of this encounter only adding to the sensation. He forced himself to keep his eyes open, wanting to watch every movement they made, determined to keep this experience in his memory. Watching Malcolm kiss Millie around him made his breath come in a ragged pant, and as Millie gained a determined look in her eye, Theodore knew he wouldn't, couldn't last much longer.

There was a gasp and a hoarse shout as he came to a shuddering climax, and as hard as he tried to stay propped up and watching them, he couldn't help dropping back onto the bed.

"Fascinating," Malcolm said, perhaps with a bit too much sincerity. Deciding the mood needed to be lightened, he pulled a cheeky face and said, "I hope I don't look quite as goofy when I come... Although, in the moment, it's not like I care."

Giggling, Millie kept her thoughts to herself, as watching Malcolm come was so high up on her list of favorite things that it was only him making her climax that ranked higher. Watching Theo had been nice though, and she felt a certain sense of pride at having helped cause the disciplined and controlled Theodore Nott to tremble.

"You look worse," Theodore mumbled, "Millie's likely the only one of us worth watching climax." He brushed a bit of hair off of his face and smiled at the two of them, feeling content and sated, for the most part.

"I'll agree with you there," Malcolm grunted, hauling himself up the bed before helping Millie up to lie more comfortably between him and Theo. "Assuming you've got any staying power, the next part involves cuddles and more telling her she's beautiful and sexy, and then we figure something out between the slower kind of making love and just hard fucking. Depends what the mood's like, really."

Theo smirked, a finger tracing some sort of design on the small of Millie's hip. "That doesn't sound like much of a hardship," he murmured, pressing a kiss to Mille's shoulder.

Facing Theo, she smiled lazily at him, leaning forward to kiss him on the mouth while reaching a hand behind her to stroke Malcolm's chest. "We're supposed to be showing Theo how to make love. Although, I don't think we're your average couple, so I'm not sure how to go about that..." she trailed off, content to rest between them for the moment, feeling the heat from both of their bodies mingling with hers.

With a smile, Malcolm said, "That's the thing. We just show him how we are and that's enough."

She turned to kiss him and he put his hands on her hips to encourage her to slide down on his cock, the heat of her body making him sink his teeth into his lower lip to hold back a moan of pure pleasure. "You feel like heaven."

Closing her eyes in sheer bliss and thinking the exact same thing, Millie cupped her breasts in her hands, her thumbs and forefingers tugging at the already taut nipples between them as she rolled her hips repeatedly against Malcolm.

Theodore had felt, after the combined efforts of the other two, he was fully sated. Watching the two of them moving together was incredibly hot, however, and he could feel himself growing hard again. A throaty moan escaped Millie, and Theo's fist closed over his cock, matching their rhythm stroke for stroke.

Feeling Theo moving beside them, Millie opened her eyes to see Malcolm staring up at her and Theo looking at the both of them, and she reached out a hand to caress Malcolm's face while wrapping her small hand around Theo's larger one and squeezing tightly. To be connected to both men like this was ultimately satisfying to Millie and as Malcolm began to relentlessly thrust up into her, she surrendered control and came violently, collapsing onto Malcolm's chest.

It felt almost too intense, watching his best friends in such an intimate moment, and there was a slight tinge of... something. Theo set it aside to ponder later as their breathing slowed and the couple shared a kiss.

Malcolm's breathing was still heavier than normal when he looked over at Theo and then back at Millie. Pressing his lips against her neck, he whispered to her, "I think Theo'd like to touch you, love. It's all right with me if you want to."

"But don't go far," she replied as she eased off of him and turned to Theo. "Was Malcolm right then, Theo?" she asked softly. "Would you like to touch me?"

Theo allowed himself a moment of tenderness as he tucked a lock of Millie's hair behind her ear. "Yes," he murmured. It was as simple as that; he wanted to touch her, wanted to find out what it felt like to move inside of her.

Lying down on her back, Millie smiled at Theo as she leaned into his hand. "Come here, then, because I want you, too."

Arranging himself over her, Theodore dropped his head to kiss her before entering her. A small gasp escaped him as he slid into her, inch by inch. When their hips met, he stopped for a moment, glancing at Malcolm for just a moment before he picked up a rather languid rhythm.

It didn't seem enough to nod and so Malcolm touched Theo's shoulder, laying his palm flat over the large muscle in much the same solemn way he had when he'd been offering comfort and acceptance to Theo in the past. The touch was brief, but it was enough, and Malcolm scooted back to let them have this moment together, knowing they'd each return in their own ways.

Millie felt conflicted at first, being with someone other than Malcolm in this manner, but Malcolm wouldn't lie to her and he'd said it was okay, so she relaxed and let the pleasure roll over her, lapping over her gently like waves. Looking up shyly at Theo's face, she bit her lip when she saw his expression and gasped as a flash of heat rushed over her body.

He had watched the reactions move over Millie's features, and as she gasped, he picked up his pace a bit. When watching Millie grew almost too intense, he dropped his head to press a kiss to the sensitive skin where her shoulder and neck joined.

Looking over at Malcolm, she caught his eye and smiled tentatively, feeling inherently wrong to be experiencing this kind of delight without him involved. She reached out her hand to him, not knowing exactly how to go about asking for what she wanted, but knowing that she wanted Malcolm to join them.

With his best attempt at an encouraging smile, Malcolm leaned on his elbow so that his body was partly curved around Millie's, and he could easily caress her face without interfering with Theo moving against her, or causing Millie any discomfort as she tried to hold onto both of them at once.

She wrapped her arms around Theo, scraping her fingernails down his back -something that Malcolm always seemed to enjoy- and she grinned as Theo hissed. Wrapping her legs around his back, she arched up into him, really beginning to let herself enjoy the experience of sex with Theo.

Theodore growled as she began to move against him, and his eyes focused on Malcolm. Supporting himself with one hand, he tangled his other hand in Malcolm's hair guiding the other man to himself as best he could. When Malcolm was there, Theo captured his lips with his own, kissing him hard.

"I don't care how we do it, but join us," he muttered.

"Yes," Millie moaned in agreement as she pushed against Theo's shoulders slightly, enough to roll him over onto his back with her atop him. She circled her hips a few times before leaning over him, placing a kiss on Theo's lips before looking at Malcolm, and saying, "Please, Malcolm?"

It wasn't his favorite by any means, but what Millie wanted, Malcolm would give her. After kissing his way up her spine, he eased into her, trying to work out how to handle the actual physical movements of this setup without being awkward and taking away some of the pleasure for Millie, and for Theo. Even apart from wanting to make the girl he loved and his best friend happy, he really hated the thought of showing Millie a clumsy, unskilled side of himself.

Millie's eyes widened and then closed as Malcolm joined with her, and she dropped her head on Theo's shoulder, overcome with the feeling of completion.

Theodore laced one hand through her hair, and his other moved to caress Malcolm's face. His two best friends here with him like this. It was overwhelming, but he didn't want to miss any of it. His eyes met Malcolm's, and they began to thrust in unison - long slow movements that threatened to kill him with their agonizing pleasure.

After a few excruciatingly long moments, Malcolm panted out, "Slow and steady's all well and good for tortoises, but if we don't get down to some good hard fucking soon, I'll have to nip downstairs and get a sandwich to keep up my strength."

Laughing breathlessly, Millie turned her head to the side so she could see Malcolm out of the corner of her eye. "Not enough for you, sweetheart?" Tightening her inner muscles, she gasped, unable to concentrate on anything but the feeling of both Malcolm and Theo moving inside her and against each other.

Theodore groaned as Millie tightened her muscles, and he did his best to move to semi reclining. Once he was more upright, he settled his hands over Malcolm's on Millie's hips and they began to move her in earnest. He sucked lightly where her shoulder and neck met, fully present in the moment and feeling himself beginning to near climax.

Biting gently at the other side of Millie's neck, Malcolm ignored the way his own body was tensing as best he could in order to concentrate on Millie, moving one of his hands around to a familiar spot made strange by the unusual angle, and he pressed down, desperate to make her scream and come before he lost control. "Come on, Millie. We're waiting for you, sweetheart. Come on. Beautiful, beautiful, lovely Millie."

Upon hearing Malcolm's words, Millie began to shudder, the feeling intensifying when she felt his teeth and Theo's lips on her neck simultaneously. "Malcolm," Millie moaned, knowing that he'd know she needed just a bit more to fall over the edge, and he didn't disappoint, and then Millie was nearly sobbing with her release, repeating Malcolm's name before catching Theo's face in her hands and kissing him hungrily.

Theo didn't think he'd ever been kissed mid-climax, and he returned her kiss passionately. As his own release began to wind down, he broke the kiss and brought a hand to Malcolm's face. His two best friends had just given him something incredibly precious and intimate, and he was duly grateful for it.

"That was a hell of a thing," Malcolm said with a small huff of laughter once he could. Softly kissing Millie's cheek, he rolled off the bed to get his wand, cleaning the three of them and the sheets with a few short spells before he crawled back into the bed and pulled Millie into his arms. "The last bit involves having a cuddle and falling asleep. D'you need a lesson in that?"

Smiling at Theo, Millie let her eyes close as she relaxed in Malcolm's arms.

Theodore shook his head lightly.

"I think I know the concept there," he said in response to Malcolm's question. He rolled out of bed and summoned his clothes to him. After sliding into his trousers and shirt he leaned over to press a kiss to each of their cheeks. With a small smile, he was gone.

Once they were alone, Malcolm sighed and spooned against Millie, pulling the duvet up over their shoulders. "Not a bad sort, our Theo, is he?"

"Not at all," Millie answered softly.

"Although," Malcolm said thoughtfully, "he really did look kind of strange when he was coming. One of these days you'll have to take a picture of me at the appropriate moment so I can be sure I don't make a face like that."

Millie groaned and reached up to tug on Malcolm's hair. "Be nice, Theo's sweet."

"As long as you still like me best, I'll be as nice as you could ever want me to be."

"I more than like you best, I love you," she said tiredly.

Smiling against her skin, Malcolm said, "I love you, too."
