Billie bit her lip watching her family give them space. She wanted Tyr and Puck to be distracted by their girlfriends so she would be free to enjoy some time with her boyfriend. They had missed out on so many months together because of his stupidity in breaking up with her, and her even worst stupidity in allowing him to leave her without a fight. All that mattered was that they were back together. She could look up into his eyes and know that he loved her as much as she loved him and it was perfect.
"I can never repay you for coming with me, Lorcan. I hope you know that." While she was sure he would never call her on the repayment, she would always feel a debt to her boyfriend. Meeting her brothers was an intimidating experience, and she felt like he passed with flying colors.
"But I hope you know I'm going to be just as much of an emotional wreck when I meet your parents." She teased, knowing that he loved his mother and was very close with her. What girl was ever good enough for a mother's baby?

She leaned up and kissed him softly on the cheek, knowing that they had to stay even a little proper in front of her brothers. At least for now. Shea and Perse seemed to do their duty in distracting. Billie would have to thank both of the blondes later for it.
"Do you want to go swimming?" She asked, motioning towards the ocean. It was the perfect time of year, an off season so the beaches were void of tourists. The air was cool, but still warm enough that they could swim without catching colds. Billie trailed her fingertips over the edge of the tshirt he was wearing, curious if he would take it off before going in the water, or if he would keep it on. Either way she was sure that it would be the sexiest thing she had ever seen.

From the way he talked about his parents, she knew that he was a little bit of a momma's boy. There was nothing wrong with it, she knew that both of her brothers were too. She loved the way that he respected his mother and believed with all of himself that she was a wonderful person. She knew that he would love her mother, because Lyra and Luna seemed to have a lot of the same traits. They were both hard working women who loved their children.
"Goodness I hope so." She wanted him to meet her mother at one point. It was only fair after what she was putting him through with her brothers.
"I just hope she's okay with all of who I am. My father and all that."

There was no secret that whenever werewolves were brought up, Fenrir was close behind it. They would talk about all of the murders at his hand, at how many families he tore apart or how many lives he ruined. Billie was half that monster and it was something that drove her insane. She would never be able to change it, and that was probably why no matter how much she loved Lorcan. How much she wanted to grow old with him and give him all of the things that he deserved, she would never give him children. At least not biological ones. She felt sick knowing that any children she had, would be part of the monster who raped her mother.

It was a conversation for much later, she would be able to figure out a way to discuss such a deliciate issue without hurting his feelings. When he agreed to the swim, Billie pulled off the white dress she had been wearing, revealing the black bikini she bought with this moment in mind. She still felt self-conscious about the scars on her stomach and chest, but she knew that Lorcan still thought she was beautiful. She kept the signs of her attack hidden from her brothers, not wanting them to see just how close to death she had been. If they knew, there was a chance she would have been duct taped to her bed in London and they never would have allowed her to return to the school she loved so much.

"So let's go swimming." She took his hand and bit her lower lip gently, happy that she picked the bathing suit that tied at the sides so she would show just a little bit more skin for Lorcan. She wanted to see how he would react to it, especially with her brothers out of sight.

Billie knew that she was always going to be part of her father. People could try to convince her otherwise and they could try to tell her that she was a good person, but she knew that deep down the blood of a monster created her. There were times when she had no idea how her mother managed to love her, let along agree to carry her. Lyra showered her with love and always made sure that Billie felt accepted in their family. She never blamed Billie for the destruction of her marriage, even though she knew that Puck and Tyreese's father left because of her.
"All traits that I share with most of my siblings on his side." Showing that she inherited more from her father than his lycan genes and light skin tone.
"I try not to let it get to me, I just worry." She knew that Fenrir was responsible for many deaths during the Battle of Hogwarts, there were times when she would run into people who's families were affected by her father. It nearly killed her every time they realized who she was and hated her for it. Lorcan was the first person at Hogwarts who just opened his arms for her and gave her a friendship.

He smiled at her and wasn't afraid to hold her hand in public. He still wasn't. It meant more to her than she would ever be able to express to the man who she loved more than life.

That appreciation for him seemed to be mirrored in his appreciation for her in a bathing suit. When she went shopping for the bathing suit, she assumed she would be buying something that would perfectly cover the scars on her chest and stomach, something that wouldn't draw too much attention to her and something that would be flattering to her curvier frame. Until she decided that she just couldn't physically care. Sure her brothers dated twigs, but she wasn't one. Billie had a bust and hips and curves. She held herself with confidence that might have been damaged a little bit when she was attacked and scared. If her mother could wear hers with honor, so could Billie. Lorcan's jaw practically hitting the floor helped with all of it. She bit her lower lip, trying to not let on just how much she was enjoying seeing his bare torso.

Thank Merlin Tyreese and Puck were somewhere else.

Without a second thought, Billie returned his kiss. When she dated Alex and Nerys, the kisses were nice, but it was never anything like kissing Lorcan. When he would pull her close and manage to take away all of her problems with his lips. She flushed herself against him, feeling the pressure from him against her stomach. She wanted to pull away and blush, but that would mean breaking the kiss from Lorcan. When he did pull away from her, she laced her fingers with his. There was no better rush and seal of approval than having her boyfriend get to flustered and excited from just the sight of her in a bathing suit.

"Yeah, let's go." She held his hand and walked towards the water, shivering a little when she stepped into the ocean and felt the cool water on her toes. Feeling a little mischievous from how excited she got Lorcan, Billie reached down and cupped her hand and dragged it up, spraying the former Hufflepuff with some of the cool water before letting go of his hand and rushing to get further into the water and away from any retaliation, all the while laughing from it.

Being with Lorcan, it helped her see that there was so much more to love about herself than she ever could have thought. She could have obsessed over the new scars on her body, she could have hid away in her home forever, or just walked around with a painful chip on her shoulder about it. Lorcan helped her see the beauty in the world, and the beauty in herself.

When he held her close and kissed her, it was a wonder that she ever left his side. He was the best at protecting her and she knew that she wouldn't have survived this year without him. She ran her fingers over his bare chest, grinning at the sparks that she swore she could always feel between them.

She had kissed two other people than Lorcan, both women, but neither of them could compare to the perfection of Lorcan.

Billie glanced over at her boyfriend and knew that the day would come that she would be able to know what it was like to have him inside of her. Something that she had been sure to save just for him. She might have dated others after he smashed her heart, but something as intimate as that, it didn't feel right with Alex or Nerys. They might have cared for her, but neither of them could ever love her the same way that Lorcan did. No one could.

With a cold, harsh splash Lorcan let out a small shriek. He grinned and wrapped his arms around Billie, restricting her arm movements to the side of her body. He placed his lips around her and toppled the both of them sideways into the cold water of the ocean. Kissing her as he did and then parting from her but taking hold of her hand as he came back up to the surface of the shallow water. Laughing and with his free hand Lorcan pushed back his.

She laughed when he wrapped his arms around her, trying to keep her balance but failed. When they crashed into the water, Billie held her breath and swam up, breaking the surface with a smile at Lorcan. Billie swam to the deeper area, enjoying the crystal clear water around them. Her family was out of eyesight, probably enjoying their blonde girlfriends in the Australian sunshine. Billie was able to stand in the deeper area, but still wrapped her legs around Lorcan's waist and grinned at him,
"Thank you for coming."
