Love Thy Enemy

CHAPTER 40:Morning Glory





Hermione lay next to Lucius for a long time watching him sleep. Lucius sleeping was a lesson in beauty. His long, flaxen hair spread over the pillow and tangled around his ears, the sharp, angular features of his handsome face were relaxed and he looked so peaceful. She could stay like that for hours, just staring at him.





She shifted closer to him and kissed his lips. He frowned slightly in his sleep and reached up to rub his nose. She smiled and kissed him again, this time he jerked slightly and opened his eyes.





“Good morning, Lucius.” She said pushing his hair back from his face and tucking it behind his ear.





“Good morning, love.” He smiled sleepily. She knew he didn’t sleep well without her, he had told her as much so she felt some guilt for waking him up. “I haven’t slept so well in months.”





“I’m sorry I woke you.” She said, running her fingertips lightly over his brows.





“I’m not. Come here little witch.” Lucius rolled her onto her back and shifted over her, careful not to put his weight fully on her. “I should have loved you slower last night.”





“I didn’t want slower then, but if you are up to it now….” She taunted, raking her nails lightly down his smooth chest.





“Oh, I’m up to it, but if you want it slowly then you had better sheathe the claws.” Lucius ran his hands slowly over her shoulder and cupped her breast. She was just a little fuller now than she had been before her pregnancy. She was also a lot more sensitive and responded more to his touch on her breasts. The corner of his mouth lifted in a half smile when she whimpered softly.





“I missed your hands on me.” She whispered.





“I missed having them on you.” He slid his palm lower to curve over her lower stomach where just the slightest curve was beginning to form. “When will you begin to show your pregnancy?” He asked, looking down at his hand resting against her.





“Soon, my clothes are already getting too tight.” She arched into his touch when his fingers slid lower and between her already slick folds. “You really should come with a warning.”





“Not necessary, you are the only woman who would benefit from it and you already know what I’m capable of.” He stroked over her sex, dipped his fingers into her and spread the moisture over her tender flesh.





“Somehow I doubt that I know everything.” She moaned, her eyes rolled back and her nails bit into his shoulders.







“Don’t worry, I’ll show you. There’s no rush now is there?” He lowered his tone and watched it take effect. “Some things will have to wait of course, until our child is born.”







“What things?” She asked, barely able to process his words as her brain went foggy with desire. His lips were playing along her throat, licking and sucking her skin gently. He slid lower in the bed, his mouth laying a trail of tiny kisses and bites over her shoulder and collar bones.







“No need to discuss them now, besides, I’m a little busy pleasuring my wife at the moment. Now unless it’s to scream my name, keep quiet, love.” Lucius lowered his head and captured one turgid nipple between his lips. He laved the bud with his tongue and then sucked hard. She mewled softly and arched her back; her fingers went to his shoulders and bit into the taught muscle.





“Maybe slow is overrated.” Hermione muttered as Lucius took his time alternating his attentions between her breasts. His lips slid lower and he nibbled along the bottom of her ribcage.





“Maybe you just need to learn patience?” Lucius said, kissing her tummy softly before sliding lower.





“Oh really, and this is coming from Mr. Instant Gratification?” Hermione said somewhat breathlessly as Lucius moved between her legs and draped her thighs over his shoulders.





“I thought I told you to be quiet?” He said, looking up at her from between her legs.





“Sorry.” Lucius ran his tongue over her plump lower lips before slipping between to lap and suck at the little nub that would send her soaring. She lifted her hips and pressed harder against his mouth. He continued to torment her sensitive sex with his tongue until she was whimpering and groaning, her body twisting and writhing as she climbed higher and higher. “Please, Lucius!”





Lucius loved hearing her cry his name. He brought his fingers up to join his tongue, dipping them just slightly inside her as he continued to lick at her. She was practically sobbing in need before he slid them fully inside her, moving two fingers back and forth within her slowly as he sucked her clit. She cried out hoarsely as the wave of intense orgasm crashed over her. She bucked and pulsed against his lips and fingers as Lucius continued to assault her over sensitized sex until her crisis passed.





She was breathing heavily and whimpering slightly as Lucius crawled slowly up her body. He settled his hips between her legs and pressed his tumescent length inside her. She was still pulsing with little aftershocks around him as he slid easily inside her slick passage. Her whimpering turned into soft keening cries when he began to move slowly within her.





Hermione slid her hands down his back and pressed her nails into his backside, urging him to move faster, harder inside her.





“I thought we were going to take this more slowly this morning.” Lucius said, rotating his hips against hers.





“That was before……oh god Lucius more!” She wrapped her legs around his hips and used her feet to pull him deeper.







“You don’t play fair, love.” Lucius hissed and began to move at a faster pace. “But then again, neither do I.” He continued to thrust inside her until he felt the soft rippling of her channel around his shaft, and when he was poised on the cusp of release he stopped.





“What…..why…..”





“Say it.” He said roughly. “I won’t move until you say it.”





“I love you.” She said softly.





“That’s it……” He began to move within her once more. Long, sure strokes in and almost all the way back out that had her head thrashing on the pillow. A litany of ‘I love you’ was spilling from her lips. “I’m going to come, love, come with me.”





He thrust a couple of times more and she tightened around him, instantly triggering his own release. He spilled into her as she cried out, her tight, convulsing sheathe milking the seed from his body. He fell onto his elbows, trying to keep his weight off of her, but she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pulled him down to her anyhow.





“I need to feel you on top of me, Lucius. Soon I won’t be able to, don’t deny me now.” She kissed his cheek, his ear, the side of his neck. “I really do love you.” She sighed, content to lay there and feel his weight over her after so long without him.





Lucius withdrew slowly and shifted so he could rest more comfortably against her without putting too much of his weight onto her abdomen. His head was resting on her breasts and she was running her fingers through his hair, gently combing the slightly tangled length.





“I may not say it a lot Hermione, but I promise you that I feel it too.” Lucius said quietly. I love you was not a phrase commonly used in the Malfoy home. He had not heard it as a child and he regretted now that he had not told Draco every day how much he was loved. He would do better by his children with Hermione. He would never doubt that his children knew how much he loved them.







“Then it will make those times you do say it all the more special. I know it’s not a sentiment you are used to, but it will get easier with time, I promise.” Hermione kissed the top of his head. Her stomach growled loudly and Lucius began to laugh.





“Alright, love. Playtime is over; it’s time to feed the baby.” Lucius moved off of her and got out of bed, pulling her with him. He grabbed her robe from the closet and wrapped her in it and called for breakfast to be brought to their room. While they waited he pulled her into his lap and held her close, enjoying the scent of her curls and the feel of her in his arms.
