James opened the door. It hadn't taken him as long as he'd thought to get his shopping done. Which pretty much meant that he'd done a really great job or he'd completely buggered it up. He wasn't sure which.

"Hey," he murmured, "You showed up. That's a good sign, right?"

Grinning, he ran a hand through his hair.

"Was there some doubt regarding my showing up?" she inquired as she eased into the room, assuming he'd left room for her to do so. "Did you manage to stay out of trouble this afternoon, or do I not want to hear about it?" she murmured as she set her bag down near his desk, turning slowly to face him.

“Ah,” he replied, running a hand through his hair. Maintenance, you know. “Mostly stayed out of trouble. I mean, I saw the lads about, but that’s about it.”

But really, in a town this size, how could he not see them around?

He noted the bag she’d set down, and he smiled warmly, shutting the door and moving closer to her.

“Really are staying, huh?” he murmured.

He was still getting used to this whole privacy thing, and his mind was beginning to entertain some very interesting ideas.

"Unless you don't want me to," Lily murmured, reaching out to tug lightly, teasingly, at the front of his shirt when he stepped closer. "I mean, I'm perfectly content sleeping alone tonight," she continued as she eased her body a little closer to his, her hands sliding lightly over his shoulders

“Are you?” he asked, “Well here’s the problem, you see. I’m not. And … you know, I really think I need you to stay with me in the night.”

Easing his arms around her waist, he grinned to her. Well, absolutely horrific shopping aside, this was turning out to be a rather good day.

"No? Seems to me you were okay with it the past two nights," she teased a little as she pressed herself lightly against him, liking the way it felt to have their bodies pressed together.

She thought she'd like it a little more with less clothing in the way, but she'd take what she could get.

"But I guess we can try it your way," she whispered as she leaned in, her lips brushing along his jaw before she nuzzled at his throat softly.
