LIFETIME MATE

Chapter Eleven


Hermione and Kat decided to come home two weeks later, after helping Ginny get into a routine with the twins. Braeden proved to be a supportive and attentive older brother, which made his parents very happy.

Katrina went to her room to put her things away after talking excitedly about Mya and Lily. Hermione quickly put her things away and looked to the answering machine in the living room. She listened to the first one, it was her parents. She would call them right away, letting them know the news about the twins. The second message she listened to the deep sound of Chase’s voice. She listened to it, then rewound it to listen to it again. Kat had come in, and had listened in the second time around. “Who’s that mum?”

“He’s a man I met last year when I went to meet Ron and Lavender in London.”

“Are you going to call him?”

“Later I will. Do you mind?”

“No. He has a nice voice. What does he look like?”

Hermione laughed. “He is very nice and very handsome looking. He has black hair and green eyes.” As she picture him in her mind. “I really like him.”

She first called her parents telling them about the twins, then let Kat talk to them about her visit. Kat had let it slip a m a man called for her mum. Well, her mum then had to talk to Hermione asking about this Chase guy.

About an hour later, Hermione hung up with her mum and was about to dial the number Chase had left. She let it ring once, then hung up quickly, suddenly unsure.

Kat noticed her mum’s nervousness, and quietly left the room. Hermione took a deep breath, then dialed the number again. When she finally heard his voice on the other end, she smiled, glad that she decided to call. She had apologized for not calling earlier and explained about the twins. He had asked her to go out on a date, dinner and a movie. They arranged for him to pick her up at her house then drive into London for their date. Hermione hung up the phone nervous and excited at the same time.

The date was arranged for the following weekend. He would be picking her up Friday, early evening. Hermione’s parents asked Katrina if she wanted to visit with them for a few week, as theye ple planning on going camping. Braeden was asked also, but he wanted to spend the time as home with his sisters.


The day before the date, Hermione and Kat went through Hermione’s closet trying to figure out what to wear for the date. “What does one wear on a date these days?” She held up a sundress. “What about this?”

“Where are you going for dinner?” Kat asked sitting on the bed.

“We’re going for pasta.”

Kat got off the bed and went to the closet. “How about this and this.” She held up a pair of maroon dress pants with the matching vest.

Hermione put it on with a black tank top that had a scalloped neckline that showed the upper swell of her breasts. “What do you think, Kat?” She asked as she stood in front of the mirror.

“You look great mum. But then I think you always do.” Kat smiled.

“Thanks honey. You all packed for your camping trip?”

“Yes. It should be fun. I’ve never camped before.”


The following day Hermione flooed her way to her parents with Katrina. Stayed a shorile ile then apparated back to her own house. Tonight was to be the big date with Chase. She dressed carefully that night, taking care of her appearance.

She was ready well before the time he was to arrive, she kept glancing out the window for signs of a car. When she finally saw some kind of red sports car drive up, she went to the door to greet him. He took her breath away as he climbed out of the car. He was wearing grey dress slacks and a black dress shirt, his hair hanging loosely against his shoulders. He looked dangerous but incredibly sexy.

Chase looked around, taking in the house. The flowers that surrounded the grounds, and the forest that he could just make out at the back of the house. He came up the front steps to see Hermione waiting for him. ‘She’s beautiful.’ he thought to himself. He came up and gathered her in his arms to kiss her lingerly on the mouth.

“We should probably go.” Chase said as he pulled away. “A bit of a drive to London.”

“We could always stay here.” She said hopefully.

He was tempted, very tempted. “I do like the sound of that, but I also want to go out on an actual date with you.” He grinned as he held her hand to walk her to the car.

She smiled in agreement, then he helped her into the car, then went around to the other side and climbed in behind the wheel. “So, how are your friends babies doing?’ He asked to start the conversation.

“They’re doing great. Ginny and Harry are still trying to get used to the night feedings.” She chuckled.

The rest of the drive was spent talking about things non-personal, like some of their friends or what books they liked to read. They decided to see the movie first, then get a bite to eat. The movie was some fantasy movie, that they frankly didn’t pay much attention to. As when they first sat down in the back row, Chase put his arm around her shoulder, while Hermione put her hand on his thigh. She was watching the movie, when about halfway through she felt her hair being tucked back, exposing her neck to him. He leaned in and licked the column of her neck. She tightened her hold on his thigh as she closed her eyes, holding back a moan, as he lightly bit into herk.
k.

She moved her head to the side, looking into the green of his eyes in the darkened room. He cupped the side of her face with his hand, as his thumb ran along her full bottom lip. She flicked her tongue against the pad of his thumb, watching as his eyes followed the movement in the dimness of the theatre. He leaned in to kiss her softly, lingering on the warmth of her mouth.

Hermione’s heart skipped a beat at the gentleness of his touch. She realized then, that she was falling for him, hard.

He kissed the corner of her mouth and smiled. “I wanted a bit of an appetizer before dinner.” He whispered in her ear. She smiled, then snuggled against him as they continued to watch the movie, his hand caressing her bare arm.

They watched the rest of the move and walked to his car hand in hand. He backed her up against the car, pressing his body close to hers, to kiss her hungrily. “Do you have to go back home tonight?” He asked.

“No.”

“Stay with me tonight. I have a hotel room until tomorrow.”

She kissed him on the mouth and put her arms around his neck. “I didn’t bring any nightclothes with me.” She smirked.

He gave an answering smile.” You won’t need any. I’ll keep you warm.”

She agreed, then they went to have dinner at a local pasta place. Over the wine and after dinner, Chase was looking at her intently. “What? Do I have sauce omethmething on my face?” She asked.

He smirked. “No.” Then looked serious. “I’ve been wanting to tell you something for awhile about me, and I’m not sure how I should do it?”

She reached across the table to take his hand. “Will it affect what we have right now? Tonight?”

“Probably.”

“Then don’t. You can tell me another time. I’ve had a feeling that you’ve been keeping something hidden, and truthfully, I have a few things myself that I’m not ready to share quite yet. So for tonight, let’s enjoy it and live for the moment.” She smiled hopefully, not wanting this night to end.

Chase looked uncertain, but smiled back. “Okay, but I will tell you soon.”

“Sounds good. Now where’s your hotel room. I’m ready for dessert.” She asked seductively.

Chase laughed and helped her up where they proceeded to pay for their meal and drive to his hotel. Once they were in the hotel room, Chase pulled Hermione close to him, molding her body to his. Chase heard her sigh when she put her arm around his neck while the other she placed on his chest. He kissed her softly, slowly, and lingered on the taste of her.

He left her lips to trail his tongue along her neck, nibbling his way to her ear to draw the lobe into his mouth. Hermione moaned and pressed herself closer to his warmth. He drew back to caress the side of her face as if he was memorizing the softness of her skin. He looked into her eyes. “I want to make love to you Hermione.”

She ran her fingers through his hair then pulled him close. She moved her mouth closer to his, their breaths mingling. “I want that too Chase.” Right before their lips met.

They slowly undressed each other, while their hands reveled in their bare skin. They sighed as thbodibodies pressed together, skin to skin. He ran his hands down her back where he felt her shiver under his touch, then placed his hands to her bottom, pulling her against his hardness. He was so ready to take her now, but he wanted to take it slow, so he brought his arms around her bottom to lift her up against him. She wrapped her legs around his waist, still not breaking contact with his mouth.

He walked to the bed and leaned down to the center of the mattress, laying her head against the pillows. He lay beside her on his side, exploring her body with his hands and fingertips, lingering on the sensitive areas that he has found over the past year.

Lips then replaced hands, and tongue replaced fingertips as he slowly savored the feel and taste of her skin. When he reached the apex of her thighs, he used both hands to lightly skim along the inside of her thighs as he leisurely probed his tongue along her wetness.

Hermione’s body was on fire from his caresses and kisses, but when his tongue made contact with her clit, she moaned as she clutched the sheets at her sides.

He took his time laving around her inner folds and clit, as she moved her hips for more. He slid two fingers inside her, then drew out, then back in again. Her hips meeting the thrust of his fingers. “Chase.” She moaned. “Please.”

He placed his mouth over her, flicking and sucking on the sensitized nub relentlessly as his fingers increased their tempo in and out of her. She cried out as her climax washed over her, her inner walls contracting around his fingers.

She felt his lips move against her, as if he was saying something against her throbbing clit. He moved up to lay on top of her, then kissed her mouth deeply, her tasting herself on his lips and tongue. He put his forearms on either side of her face, his fingers caressing her neck as he entered her warmth. Hermione raised her hips to meet his slow thrust. They both closed their eyes as her heat enveloped his shaft.

He buried himself deep inside of her then looked down at her flushed face. “You feel so good Hermione, so tight.” As he pulled out until just the tip of him was at her opening, then slowly entered her again, deeply. Her legs brushed his as she moved them up to his thighs where she used them to pull him closer to her.

She ran her hands along his back and arms, as he slowly thrust into her. She looked up to watch him, then to kiss his neck and shoulders. She tangled her fingers in his hair to pull him down for a kiss on the mouth. As their tongues touched and dueled, they moaned into each other’s mouths as his thrusts quickened, bringing them closer to their release. When he felt her pulsating around him, he buried his face into her neck where he bit softly into her skin, as he plunged once then twice into her where his shaft throbbed as he emptied himself deep inside of her.

He looked down at her and kissed her lips and smiled. “It seems we always end up in bed, don’t we?”

“I don’t mind.” Hermione said returning his smile as he shifted off her to lay on his back.

Chase gathered her close, kissing her cheek as he linked his fingers through hers. He closed his eyes, enjoying and relishing this moment, as if it was the last.
