CH 21 - LAUREL AND DRACO – THE BEGINNING
Previously:
The song was ending and obligingly, he took Teeny’s hand and led her back to the bar in Laurel’s direction. Her heart began to beat fast again as he neared, his eyes locked on hers. She watched approvingly, as he came toward her with long purposeful strides, Teeny at his side, looking more than a little irked. He stopped in front of her, turned away from Teeny and with a stunning smile, offered his hand.
Even though the music was blaring around her, even though Tad stood at her side - arm outstretched with drink in hand and the crowd was mulling all around them, in that moment, when his hand touched hers and she looked into those amazing, silver eyes…the world fell away and she only saw him.
Their eyes locked and she felt her knees go weak as he bent and kissed her hand, his eyes never leaving hers, his lips so soft against her skin, inviting, promising….
“I’m Draco.”
_______________________________________________
Laurel hadn’t realized she was holding her breath until he stood up, his gaze so intense, searching her face…
She blushed, suddenly shy ”I’m Laurel….Draco.” her voice breathy and soft. She held his hand in both of hers and he was surprised by the intimate gesture, it disarmed him.
His eyes seared into hers, he wanted to hold her. ”Dance with me Laurel?” his voice low. It sent shivers down her spine hearing her name from his lips.
“Yes.” ‘OH YES…’
Laurel moved to step closer to Draco but was stopped by a strong hand on her arm. She looked down at it and back up to its owner…”I believe the lady is with me this evening.”
It was Tad.
“Get your hand off of her.” Draco’s voice was menacing, he took a threatening step toward Tad. He wouldn’t mind dropping this muggle fool right here and now. No need for his wand, he could easily take him down with one blow.
“She’s with me….Laurel is this guy bothering you?” Tad looked huffy and irritated. He still had her drink in his other hand.
Laurel’s brow arched imperiously, she was still VERY PEEVED at Tad for daring to grab her derriere, when she spoke her voice was crisp, “Actually, Tad, HE is with ME and the only one bothering me is you!” Teeny sniffed at this, eyeing the entire display before her with bored, detached aloofness. Draco took another step toward Tad and Laurel held him fast. She took the drink from Tad’s hand and gave it to Teeny, “You look like you could use this.” she cooed. Teeny rolled her eyes.
She turned back to Draco, “How about that dance?” took his hand, hers fit so perfectly in his, and they drifted to the dance floor.
Laurel knew this boy was in her life for a reason. She just didn’t know what that was yet. What she did know was that he took her breath away and that she had NO intention of letting him get away from her anytime soon.
----- -----
Finally she was in his arms.
Two things struck him at once, the first, was an instant desire to protect her. He had to fight back the impulse to wrap his arms around her even tighter, the last thing he wanted to do was frighten her. Although, he was frightened, and not just about Harry being in jeopardy or for his own personal safety and now for hers, but of these feelings that materialized out of nowhere for this muggle girl that he’d just met, yet felt like he knew …
The whole thing was absolutely crazy and more than a little unsettling.
Draco didn’t allow himself to feel like this. Hell, before tonight he didn’t think he even KNEW how to feel like this. But he was, and it was scaring the crap out of him. And, Malfoys DO NOT GET SCARED.
Second, he just could not seem to control his physical desire for her. He was almost overwhelmed at her just being in his embrace, so close, Draco NEVER lost control or got overwhelmed at anything, he prided himself on it…Not lately though, first his mother, then Harry and now Laurel.
Although with Laurel, well it felt different. He didn’t seem to mind so much, feeling a little light headed with her pressing so eagerly against him. She felt good against his body, like she belonged there. And Merlin help him, those hips of hers were driving him mad moving against his, rhythmically, perfectly, excruciatingly perfect. His head swam from her scent - she smelled like orange blossoms and cocoa butter and her skin was so soft.
He caught sight of Tad eyeing him angrily from the bar and grew jealous again, “Did that stupid prat hurt you?” he asked, protectiveness taking hold.
“Who, Tad?” Laurel laughed, “When?”
“When you were dancing before…did he?” Draco looked angry.
“No.” she answered, still smiling and shaking her head amused. ‘He didn’t stand a change against me’ she grinned inwardly.
“Draco,” she said, wisely changing the subject as his eyes were on Tad again and he was scowling. “You have a very interesting name.” His eyes snapped to hers instantly. She was beaming at him and he relaxed.
“Your parents must like mythology?”
Draco’s mood slipped, and so did his smile at the mention of his parents. “Why would you say that?” He looked suddenly preoccupied.
“Your name…Draco…Dragon, I just figured…”
His eyes widened and turned very blue, (she noticed how his eyes changed color all the time.) Draco’s heart began to beat uncomfortably fast, ‘She knows what my name means?’
She went on as if in a trance, “Dragons,” she sighed, “are such amazing beings, incredibly intelligent, loyal, honest…” Draco’s hands tightened around her waist unconsciously pulling her closer to him, “fierce, strong - completely misunderstood and misjudged.” She looked at him now, deep into his eyes, “I just can’t decide who they named you after; A Golden dragon, a Silver or well of course, a Platinum dragon.” she fingered a lock of his hair gently and smiled.
Draco’s heart was beating faster now, “Why a Platinum dragon?” he asked in a husky voice.
“Well, they are the King of dragons, the strongest, most loyal, brilliant, beautiful…” she trailed off, her cheeks turning red.
“They’re the king of GOOD dragons.” he corrected.
“Mmmm, yes I know.”
Draco groaned inwardly, he had absolutely no defenses against a smart woman, they were his true weakness – Which is precisely why he never let himself get close to one. And this muggle girl, for him to even consider getting close to her was absolute madness. If his father ever found out…Yet, the thought of not seeing her again didn’t seem like an option.
“Now why would you assume I’m a good dragon?” he purred, his gaze challenging.
She shrugged and looked deep into his eyes, her right hand cradling his cheek – He couldn’t move, he was mesmerized looking into her eyes, they lit from within as if a veil was being held before a candle, glowing faintly…Suddenly his breath caught in his chest and she pulled back. “I’m a very good judge of character, you might say.” she said softly.
He blinked, stunned for a moment.
She was beaming at him again, a wide, dazzling smile, ”My god, you’re amazingly beautiful.” she murmured more to herself. She had looked into his soul, ‘His spirit, its so powerful, radiating strength, conviction…incredible.’
“I do get that reaction quite a lot from women.” he drawled.
She laughed, “I just bet.”
Laurel was breaking down all his defenses and fast.
“You’re a good man Draco.” she stated.
Draco’s eyebrows shot up…Now Draco had been called a vast array of things in his 17 years, but GOOD was not one of them. He tried to think back quickly, ’Nope, never.’ he surmised.
He gave her a sheepish smile and winked, “Just wait until you get to know me.”
“Ah, promises, promises” she sighed dramatically and chuckled. Laurel felt like she’d known him for a lifetime already. She was completely at ease.
Draco’s thoughts had wandered back to what she’d said about dragons and something was beginning to form in the back of his mind. ’No, it couldn’t be…could it?’, he steered the conversation back a bit. “So, have you actually seen one?” he asked casually.
“I’m sorry, seen one what?”
“Well, a dragon of course.” he was fishing, ’She knows a lot about dragons’…
She grinned at him playfully, “Not until tonight.” (Which was almost true, she’d seen a baby once, for like a second, when her family was on holiday in Romania when she was 7. They have large colonies there and they were lucky enough to come across one being transported to a reserve, but that was ages ago.)
She turned now, resting her cheek against his heart, melting into his arms and he felt her sigh into his chest. He hugged her close and groaned inside, ’Draconious Lucius Malfoy, you are in serious trouble.’
So much more than he knew…
_____________________________________________________
A/N: Oh, don’t they just make your heart melt! My fav part of the whole chapter is when Laurel tells him his parents must have named him for a Platinum Dragon and he asks why and she says cuz they’re king of all dragons, loyal, brave, beautiful…He corrects her that they’re king of the GOOD dragons and she just says yes she knows. He melts and so do I actually. Laurel is just so open and trusting of him already…it is so sweet, I just love that part...Oh and my other favorite part is at the very end when Draco says to himself, \' Draconious Lucius Malfoy, you are in serious trouble\'...(I actually stole that from a Johnny Depp interview) he was telling some reporter what he was thinking when he met his wife in some club and asked her for drinks. He said to himself, \'Johnny boy, you are in serious trouble....\' I thought it was so perfect and something Draco would do. HUM...guess I\'m in sharing mode tonight...Anyway, just thought I\'d tell you.
And, in case anyone is confused or has forgotten, remember that Laurel’s gift is reading souls. She read Draco’s soul when they were dancing, that’s why she made the comment about him being so beautiful. She was referring to his soul…
Anywayyyy…Onto the next chappie kids. You know I have to keep up the 2-fur specials for a while longer!
See ya there!…If you want to drop me a note here and tell me what your favorite part was, I’d LOVE that!
A/N: Well kids, they’ve made eye contact…they’ve touched hands…Now let’s get these two crazy love-birds together!…Well, at least we TRY to get them together…grin!
