Chapter 20
Promises

Hermione looked deeply into Lucius’ eyes. The tremble in his voice was so uncharacteristic of him that she was a bit concerned. She decided to get this conversation moving along by answering him.

“No Lucius. I have never thought about other types of magical bindings other than marriage. I’ve read about them but never really considered partaking in them. Why do you ask?”

“Hermione, I have noticed that you have taken a liking to me as much as I have to you. The contract that was signed designated you to be of service to Draco and myself, but there was a loophole in the contract that nobody but me and my solicitor knows about.”

“And what is this loophole you’re speaking of Lucius?” Hermione asked, a bit defensively.

“Call it wishful thinking, but I put in a clause that you could magically be bound to myself or Draco if you saw fit. Not in a marriage binding, but in another way.” he replied.

Knowing that it was if she desired it put her defenses down a couple of notches. At least he wasn’t trying to force her into a binding.

“What binding is in the clause?” Hermione asked.

“The Corpus Modus Enim Vita.” Lucius said quietly.

“But Lucius, that would bind me to the person for life with no marital ties. That’s like being a … slave for the rest of my days on this earth.” she said to him.

“Hermione, it is different from marital binding, I understand your feeling of discomfort. If it’s something you would never think of please tell me now.”

“I’ve read about that spell in depth. My body would be bound to that person for life. I could never sleep with another man. I could never have a real marriage binding. And if that person were to not want to be with me anymore, I could still not be with another man. This spell cannot be reversed. It’s til death do us part, but without the marriage. I don’t know Lucius, I’ve never even thought about participating in that particular spell.”

“I understand Hermione. I’m sorry I brought it up.” Lucius turned from her so she couldn’t see how dejected he felt.

“Wait, is that what you and Draco were arguing about this morning? Does Draco want me to be his slave for life?” Hermione said, gasping with shock.

“Hermione, it is not Draco that wants you to be his for life. But that is what we were arguing about.” Lucius said, still turned away from her.

Hermione got down on the floor on her knees in front of him so he would have to face her. She saw the rejection on his face and it dawned on her that he wanted to perform the spell with her, not Draco.

“But Lucius, why would you want to bind me to be your slave for life?”

“Pet, I can’t offer you the binding of marriage while the Dark Lord still lives. It would mean the death of us all. But I have terribly strong feelings for you and the thought of you with another would send me into a rage. I need to know that you’re mine for life.”

“Oh Lucius, can’t we wait for the Dark Lord to be killed and then discuss a marriage binding?”

“Hermione, nobody knows how long it will take Potter and your friends to kill the evil bastard. I can’t wait that long. Please consider it? If somehow the Dark Lord can be killed for once and for all, we could discuss adding the marriage binding to the Corpus Modus spell. You have been a beacon of light since you came to the manor and I couldn’t bare to lose you.”

Hermione stood up and climbed into his lap. She had no idea he cared for her like that. She wouldn’t have thought he had it in him to care for a muggleborn. But he obviously did. And she cared deeply for him too. She took his face in her hands and began planting kisses on him.

She then wrapped her arms around him and pulled him in for a deep kiss before whispering in his ear ‘Yes Lucius’.

Before she could even think, he swooped her up and walked her into his bedroom, sitting her gently on his bed. He knew that this spell had to be done correctly, and passion was part of it. They both had to feel it for the spell to be effective.

“Are you sure Hermione? I don’t want you to have any doubts.” Lucius asked her.

“Yes Lucius, I’m sure.”

That was all he needed to hear. He slowly started to undress her, drinking in her supple skin as he was doing so. She also knew how the spell had to be cast and started undressing him in return, his alabaster skin inviting her to touch him all over. She leaned forward and tentatively licked at his slightly perspiring skin. He gasped at the touch of her tongue. She was so arousing and had no idea. He would teach her to appreciate her talents.

When they were both devoid of their clothing, Lucius pulled her up onto the bed. He began to explore her entire body with his own tongue, tasting her essence. He suckled on her nipples until they were pert and she was squirming and lightly moaning. He continued to lick his way down her stomach, reaching her core. He let his tongue laze slowly across her clit, causing her moans to become louder. He then started alternating between sticking his tongue into her channel and flicking at her clit. Hermione was bucking upwards to meet his tongue and spewing out incoherent words mixed in with Lucius’ name. She was so close and he knew it. Suddenly he stopped and pulled away from her.

“Gods Lucius, don’t stop… please?” Hermione said.

“ Love, you know how this spell works and it must be a combination of techniques.” Lucius replied silkily as he stood up.

Hermione got off the bed and got down on her knees in front of him. She took his cock into her mouth slowly, seductively sucking him as if he were a lollipop. He moaned as she took him deeper but still retained the suction on him. His cock was large and she wouldn’t be able to take him all the way in. She broke the suction and just began thrusting her mouth over his huge organ, taking in all she could. He could feel it hitting the back of her throat but she didn’t gag. Somehow she managed to get him even deeper, delving into her throat. She did that twice before she felt his balls start to tighten indicating his release. She held the base of his cock firmly to stop it and removed her mouth from him. She did indeed know how this spell had to be cast.

He pulled her with him to the bed. This was the time that the casting would begin. The spell had to be done in such a way that either one or both of the casters had to be stopped from sexual release twice, meaning that on the third attempt at release they would culminate the bond by mutually climaxing. They both had to say the spell together but the person who the spell was cast on would be marked forever. It would be a small mark that would barely be noticeable but the effects would be tremendous.

“Are you ready, pet?” Lucius asked Hermione.

“Gods, yes Lucius.”

He wanted to face her as they cast the spell, it was very important to him to have deep eye contact with his Hermione. He looked into those eyes and saw the love she held for him. Sure it was hidden amongst the desire but there was definitely love. He made his decision.

“Hermione, I want you to mark me also. I want us to both be bound to each other. Will you do that?”

“Lucius, are you absolutely certain? This is a lifetime we’re speaking of.” Hermione said.

“Yes pet, I’m completely certain. Will you?” he replied.

“Yes love, I will.”

He again began kissing her neck, biting lightly on her ear. They both wanted each other so bad that they knew it wouldn’t take long to culminate the spell and be each other’s forever. Hermione pulled him close to her, kissing him passionately. Lucius was aching to be inside of her and there was no reason to prolong it anymore. He entered her swiftly and began pumping his hard cock into her hot pussy. She was so tight around him, so hot and wet.

The kiss was broken as Hermione began to moan in pleasure at her lover plunging into her. Gods, the man was hard as a rock. He began pistoning into her pussy. It seemed they wouldn’t have to time out the mutual climax, as they were both very close to doing so. He could feel her walls begin to tighten around him, milking him to come in her.

“Now Hermione!” he yelled out to her as they came together, gripping each other.

“Corpus Modus Enim Vita!” they both said in unison.

Hermione picked a spot on the side of his neck so his hair would cover it and began to suck on that spot as she spoke the words over in her head three times. While she was doing this, Lucius had picked a spot that was a bit more conspicuous, her left breast. He also began to suck and repeat the spell as was necessary. Around the whole bedroom, a white light formed, sealing the spell.

They lay on the bed next to each other feeling the magic still swirling around them. Lucius pulled Hermione next to him to hold her close and he could feel the love flow from her. As the white light dissipated, they held each other and began to fall into a peaceful sleep.

They had been asleep for only an hour or so when Lucius screamed out and clutched at his Dark Mark. He was being summoned again. Damn.

Hermione awoke when Lucius screamed and saw him clutching his arm. No, he couldn’t be taken from her already. He was already out of bed and getting into his Deatheater robes when he heard her start to cry quietly. He walked over to her quickly and placed a kiss on her precious lips.

“Don’t cry pet. I’ll return as quickly as I can, I promise.” Lucius said to her.

He then turned and apparated out of his room to go stand beside the Dark Lord yet again.

A/N: Sorry it takes me a while to get the chapters up but I promise to try to get them up quicker. The binding is done and it wasn’t supposed to be fluffy but it did turn out that way. Sorry for anyone who’s disappointed. Review, critiques, anything but flames welcomed.
