Punishment

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Draco slowly woke. Confusion seeped through his fuzzy thoughts. Why had he woken? He was freezing. Where were his covers? He half heartedly groped around, not wanting to fully waken. He had dreamed of being with Hermione. All he wanted was to return to that blissful place in his mind where all was right, and he was with the woman he loved.


His fingers brushed soft flesh and he froze. What was going…HERMIONE! All of a sudden, his mind cleared and he shot up. They had made love last night. He could hardly believe it. The gorgeous, elusive Gryffindor princess had wanted him, with a passion.


Draco began to harden as the details of their night flashed through his mind. Hermione gasping, her tight wet flesh clamping down on his cock, that wonderful mouth, her flashing eyes.


She was still sleeping. It didn’t surprise him; he had given her quite the workout. What amazed him was that she was sill there. Other girls would have slinked off when he fell asleep. Not Hermione.


Not wanting to wake her, but needing to touch her, Draco let his fingers glide over every inch of exposed skin. She was warm and soft and perfect for him. His cock was throbbing painfully but he ignored it, he didn’t need gratification, all he needed was her.


She looked adorable, her mouth was slightly open and she lay on her stomach, her arms tucked under her. One of her legs was hanging off the bed. What really fascinated him was her hair. It spread out gorgeously on the pillow. He wanted that hair to glide over his body and tickle his cock; he wanted to wrap his hands in it as he took her from behind. Gods, stop it Draco!


If he didn’t stop now he wouldn’t. He closed his eyes and willed his erection away. It was no use. Her smell wafted to his nostrils and he gave up all hope of controlling himself.


Gently, wanting her to ease into consciousness, he moved the blanket away from her. Her creamy skin invited his fingers to glide down her back. She moaned a little and he stilled. Smiling, Draco began to place kisses over her skin. A brush of his lips against her shoulder, a slight nibble at her waist, a caressing hand on her hip. He couldn’t get enough of her.


He hoped fervently that she felt the same way. It felt right, being with her.


Sighing, Draco stopped his ministrations. They needed to talk. He didn’t want this to be a one time deal. He wanted her, all of her, for as long as she would have him.

“Wake up, Hermione.” The voice repeated. Hermione tried valiantly to ignore it. She was so happy, she didn’t care if she missed classes, just let her bask.


A deep chuckle made her start. What was a man doing in her…Oh! Draco! Hermione gasped and sat up. She couldn’t believe he was still there. She blushed as she remembered what she had done, what she had said.


“Good morning, love.” He said softly as he leaned over to kiss her. Oh, his lips were warm and powerful she could kiss him for ages. Wait…love? He called her love?


She slowly backed away, reluctant to face him. “Draco, we have to talk about this. It isn’t right, we should never have…”


“Stop Hermione. Nothing in my life has ever felt as right as this. Whatever this is, I want it, and so do you. Admit it, you still want me.” He demanded, fear coloring his voice as he stared deeply into her eyes.


“Yes, I do. I want to be with you…but how.” She broke into a sob. “How will I be able to look my friends in the eyes? They’ll never trust me, they’ll hate me. Draco, I can’t stand that, they’re all I have.”


Draco felt a deep pain. He hated to see her unhappy, but he had to be with her, no matter what. “If they are truly your friend, they will love you no matter who you’re with. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you Hermione, and I won’t let this become sordid. I want everyone to know that you are mine, and I am yours.”


Hermione stared at him in wonder. She couldn’t believe this was the same boy who had mocked her for years. The boy she had hated, but wanted, for so long. She didn’t think for a moment that he was using her. What they had was real; she felt it to the core of her being.


“Are you sure Draco? You have to be absolutely sure. Once our relationship is made known, everything will change.” Hermione asked him worriedly.


Draco smiled and pulled her into a hug. “I want this Hermione more than anything. I’ve never been surer of anything in all my life. Are you?”


“Yes, you’re the one I want. Everyone will just have to deal with that” Hermione replied, snug and happy in his arms.


Draco thanked Merlin for his good luck. The woman he cherished wanted to be with him. She had not spoken of love but it would come. He was certain.

I know, it's short and it took forever. I've had to deal with life for a while but I'm back.
