The Tease
Chapter 3 – The Tease
A/N: I know this is a short chapter. All my chapters are longer than this one, but I just couldn’t get more out of this chapter. Sorry. Will be better next time!
And thank you to Chelsea for re-beta-ing!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Looking around Severus’ office, Hermione was startled; this wasn’t the office she had been expecting. Lying on the grey stone floor was a thick carpet that almost stretched from one side to the other. Torches cast a flickering light from wrought iron brackets, and hanging from the ceiling was an old-fashioned muggle chandelier, complete with a chain connecting it to a pulley system so it could be lowered for lighting. Lining two walls were dark stained wood shelves full of books. Walking over she was surprised and pleased to find not only textbooks and potions reference manuals, but also classic titles from muggle authors. He was indeed more rounded than she’d thought.
Hermione cast a smile over her shoulder, “Great library you have here.”
“Thank you.” Severus managed to say in a calm voice, which belied the turmoil he was feeling inside. One smile from her beautiful lips and he was like a stammering schoolboy inside.
She bent over to look at a selection of first edition eighteenth century spell books which specialized in medical healing, and he almost dropped the tea he had been drinking while waiting for her to show up. Her muggle jeans seemed to be sitting low on her hips, so low that he was sure they were only held up with magic. Bending over only made them go down further, and oh gods help him - he could feel his cock stiffening again. Moving to stand behind a tall backed chair, he cleared his throat.
It wasn’t enough that he had thought about her in his dreams for years. He tried to never think about her in his lucid moments because Severus wasn’t the type of man to delude himself. She wouldn’t want him even if she knew of his attraction for her, but in his dreams, he could have her because, there at least, he was everything he secretly wanted to be; strong, heroic, and good looking. She looked at him with barely controlled desire in his dreams and, in the dark of night, sometimes her barely controlled desire became uncontrollable desire. His fascination for her had never waned. He often wondered if it would have faded had she not kept in touch during her graduate studies, but he had looked for her owl every day for almost four full years.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” Hermione stood up and realized Severus was staring plainly at her belly button. A flash of desire ran across his face, but was gone within a second. “I should just go and get my robes. I’m really not dressed for company and I know... I’ll just go and get my robes shall I?” Hermione was reminded of the cruel way he had told her to put her robes on five years ago. “Still a school, right?” She asked brightly, trying to sever the tension she was feeling with a slight joke at her own expense.
“Not at all necessary. I promise you I can control myself at the sight of your belly button,” Severus lied smoothly. “Let’s just continue on so you can finish unpacking. You are to start teaching in the morning, correct?”
And so they sat in opposite chairs with a low table between them, talking about class schedules, her duties, and where she might be of help in his research. He gave her a pile of paper work detailing grades, assignments, personal assessments, and detention lists. They also worked out a schedule for when she would be available to help him with his research. It wasn’t required of her, but she’d never been able to pass up extra work. It helped fill her lonely days and nights.
A loud grumbling sound came from Hermione's stomach at half past eleven. A blush stole across her cheeks as she looked at Severus' rather amused look.
“I’ll be right back,” he said as he stood and walked through a door which she could only assume led to his private rooms as she’d never seen his private space, only his office and potions workroom.
Returning, he placed a small plate of cookies in the middle of the table. He hoped she liked raspberry tart cookies and judging from the smile, which lit up her face, she did. As she leaned over to the middle of the table to grab a cookie, Severus was unexpectedly treated to a show as he could see straight down her tank top. He looked away, unwilling to invade her privacy, but the image was burned into his mind.
“Mmmm,” Hermione said licking her lips. “Very good cookies.” Her tongue darted out again to catch a stray cookie crumb. She looked over at Severus and her breath caught. He was watching her tongue and she could tell his breathing was more than a little uneven. Without thinking about whether it was a good idea or not, she brought her finger up to her mouth and slowly sucked the sticky raspberry filling off the end of it. As she watched his eyes follow her lips, warmth filled her body. Gracious, after all this time, and after so many unkind words between them, she still wanted him.
Severus cleared his throat, “Very well Hermione. If you have any questions, we can discuss them in the morning. We both have classes to teach in a little more than,” glancing at the nearby antique grandfather clock, he continued, “nine hours.”
They both stood up and he bent to retrieve part of the stack of papers and files he’d given her. “Lead the way.”
He followed her back to her door, carefully keeping his eyes straight ahead. He wouldn’t become one of those old men who ogled young women walking in front of him, but a quick glance confirmed that the low riders were very low indeed and his hands ached to touch the soft skin of her bare hip.
Before he realized it, she had removed the wards over her door, opened it and led him inside. His eyes immediately looked through the door into her bedroom before he pulled them back to search for a place to set the papers down.
“Good night Hermione. I will see you tomorrow,” was all he got out before leaving. Shutting the door, he walked quickly back to his rooms.
A cold shower and a stiff drink later, Severus finally laid down in his bed. It was going to be hard to work with her. She was a genius and would certainly be a great teacher, but on a personal level… shaking his head he tried to fall asleep. On a personal level, she affected him more than was good for a... working relationship, which is exactly what she had very clearly asked for.
Ignoring the ache in his groin, Severus tried to block out the erotic images his mind kept throwing at him. Hermione lying on her back, nude, with her fingers playing between her legs. A wicked moan, his name whispered as he kissed up her leg, the taste of her womanhood… ohh, this wasn’t good at all. He flipped onto his stomach and tried to fall asleep again, ignoring the small involuntary thrusts his hips made into the bed, searching for something, which wasn’t there, and, in fact, hadn’t been there for so long…
And I’d like to thank
Witch (She reviewed first and twice *GRIN*)
ShilohDark – Thanks for the suggestion – it helps!
SorceressFujin – it gets more interesting – stay tuned it
Skydancer – I thought it was memorable
EmmylovesDraco – thank you and I will
Addie – He’s a rather nasty sort huh?
Skydancer – thankie for the warm fuzzies *need them
Witch – here ya’ go!
Hilda Malfoy – Yeah – he’s a right berk huh?
Siriusnremus – I actually had to take it down from here because of a massive hiccup when they switched their databases over years ago. If you ever go to reread old stories, you’ll find words combined, missing, spaces inserted and disappearing randomly. That’s what happened to my baby so I had to take it down and re-beta it. Plus, they added categories and I couldn’t put the old story in a new category. I left the shell of the old story so I could keep my reviews, and I’ll update that one at some point, I just didn’t wanna loose my story altogether =) Thanks for asking. GHT is up next *grin* I’m actually working on the ending for that bad boy
Sheedy – Thank you and I will
Brainorgan – I enjoy keeping in character. I really tried to for the whole story. It was hard, because can you really picture Severus in love with his current character?!
Addie – it’s all for you baby!

“I heard you call out my name when I opened your study door. I thought I heard you moan and call my name. Was I right?” He needed to know for sure. He could be wrong – it could have been any of a number of things.
“I – I…” She blushed and nodded. It was as if a hot blade of desire stabbed through his body from head to toe.
“It's unbelievably arousing to know you were dreaming about me Hermione,” he murmured to her, pressing his almost painful erection against her hip again as if offering her proof. Her answer to his declaration was to clasp his face between her hands and kiss him, with her tongue licking over his lips before twining with his.
“Touch me, please…” she begged against his mouth, and he realized she was rubbing her bare breasts against his body. The heat she was giving off was unreal, and he knew this was going to be a fast and furious joining. Going slow would have to wait until the next time. Dropping his hands to rest inside her robes, Severus grasped her around her ribs, under the fullness she was aching for him to touch. He cupped her from underneath, bringing both breasts higher as he trailed kissed down her neck, licking as he made the journey to her valley. She arched her back, trying to bring herself closer to his mouth, closer to the release it would offer.
