The Little Flat

Chapter 3

They stood next to the bed, kissing passionately; they each untied the sash holding the other’s robe closed. Moving from her lips, Severus made his way to her neck, kissing, licking, and nipping each sensitive spot as his hands pushed the robe off her shoulders allowing it to fall to the floor.

He took a step back and let his eyes feast upon the vision he uncovered.

“Mmm, you know I love how you look in this gown, witch. It shows off all your assets to perfection,” he said as his eyes roamed over her body, his hand stroking her naked thigh and hip.

Hermiones hands made their way beneath his open robe, making contact with his skin as she wrapped her arms around his waist. Even after two years together, just touching him sent a thrill through her and straight to the core of her being. Bringing her body flush with his, she rested her head against his chest and sighed softly.

“I love you, Severus.”

His arms tightened as he drew her even closer, as he laid his cheek on top of her head, “I love you, too, Hermione.”


Slowly they removed what clothing was left on the other, laying down on their bed face to face, touching, kissing, and expressing without words the depth of their love.


Hermione wrapped her hand around his cock, remembering the first time she saw it and wondered if he could fit all of that inside her, she slid the head of his cock between the lips of her pussy before placing him at the opening.


Severus entered her, slowly, savoring the feel of his body becoming one with her. His eyes held hers and he could literally see her love for him within them.


Hermione felt as he slowly filled her, oh, how she missed this, missed him when they could not be together. Her mind, body, and soul seemed to sing out
in the glory of their lovemaking. She wrapped her legs around his waist and moaned deeply as he started driving rhythmically in and out of her, bringing them both slowly to the pinnacle of rapture.


“Oh, Merlin. Hermione, I love you…Gods, how I love you. Come with me, love. Come with me,” he said his breathing becoming heavy as he drove into her harder and faster.


“Yes, Severus…Yes…please…harder, Severus,” she pleaded with him as she felt her world about to explode around her.


Hermione felt her world implode as Severus thrust harder into her.


Her pulsing around his cock sent him over the edge, also.


The two lovers, sweaty and sated, held on to each other as their breath and heartbeats slowly came back to normal. Severus moved off his lover managing to grab hold to her bringing Hermione onto her side as he held her close.


“Mmm, that was…wonderful, Severus.”


“I do aim to please,” he said somewhat smugly.


“I’m so glad I don’t have to leave tonight, that I can spend it here in your arms,” she sighed as she burrowed closer to him putting her head on his shoulder.


“As am I, love.”


Should I talk to her now, or wait until the morning? Mmm, perhaps now, would be best, she’s relaxed, sated…happy. Severus thought as they lay in each other’s arms, basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking.


“Love, there is something I want to discuss with you, it’s something I’ve been thinking about for quite a while now.”


“Hmm, and what is that, Severus?”


“Well, you know I’ve been teaching for nearly thirty years now…and you know I only started teaching because Albus required it of me. I believe it’s time for me to ‘retire’ from teaching, I’ve never really enjoyed it, and I have wanted to dedicate more of my time to researching.”


“If that’s what you’d like to do, Severus, then I support your decision. Will you be moving back to Spinner’s End or are you moving into the flat?”


“Neither, Spinner’s End does not have adequate room for a proper lab nor does the flat. Albus, left me a small estate…I’ve been thinking of moving there.”


“That’s wonderful, Severus. Where is it located? Scotland?”


“No, itslocatedinspain.”


“It’s what?”


“It’s…located in Spain.”


Hermione sat straight up in the bed and turned to face Severus. “Spain! Are you…Do you…” Hermione didn’t know what to think or what to say. Was Severus leaving her?


“Are you trying to tell me that you’re leaving me?” she said as she tried to hold back the tears.


“No, love, I’m not leaving you. We’ll still see each other, we just won’t be together as often as we are now. Of course, you could move to Spain with me.”


Hermione hung her head, “When will you be moving?”


“A few days after the Leaving Feast, that’s what I planned. I still have to write my letter of resignation Minerva is not going to be happy.”


No longer able to hold back her tears she turned away from Severus so he wouldn’t see her cry. Merlin, what am I going to do without him? Just knowing he wasn’t too far away made everything else bearable!


Severus noticed her shoulders shaking slightly and knew there were tears streaking down her face. He sat up and took her in his arms.


“Hermione, love, I’m not leaving you, I love you. But there is so much I’ve wanted to do with my life, and staying where I am…I just, feel as if my life has gone stagnant.” He could feel the warmth of her tears against his chest and it was breaking his heart, but he couldn’t allow the situation between them to hold him back any longer.


“There is still four months left of school, please, my love, consider leaving Britain with me. Leave Weasley and come start a new life with me in Spain.”


“I want to, Severus, more then you could know, but…”


“No more buts, Hermione. You need to stop worrying about what others think or say, it’s past time for you to put Hermione first. I can’t promise that what we have now will always be enough for me. I want you to be my wife; I want to have a family with you.”


Hermione cried even harder with his words.


“Come, my heart, let’s lay down. Let me hold you tonight and wake up with you in my arms.”


Severus held her as she cried herself to sleep. When he was sure she was safely in Morpheus’ care, he too slipped into sleep.
