Spinner's End

Chapter 6

Raven again had no idea what to wear. She had a nice long soak in the tub to calm her nerves. Then as she looked at her dismal collection of clothes she decided that she needed to get a decent pair of shoes and nylons to wear with the few evening cocktail dresses she owned. On this night she wore a brilliant blue, satiny tank top with a matching knit shrug. She added a smooth fitting black skirt, black tights and her stand-by, worn, black pumps. She also wore a gold beaded necklace to break up, she hoped, the dark colors.

Severus stood in front of his large wardrobe mirror and looked at his overly thin body. He wore only a small pair of black, bikini briefs. He considered adding some chest muscles like a body builder. He changed his mind, something like that would be an annoyance to maintain. He thought that he looked more pale than usual. He never liked his pale complexion and was envious of the people that would go out into the sun and turn a rich bronze color. When he went in the sun he only burned, peeled and seemed even whiter than before.

He waved his wand and suddenly he wore a pair of black trousers and a dark red shirt. Raising his eyebrow at his reflection in a puzzled look, he decided that he looked like he should be in a Mariachi band. In a blink the shirt was gone again. In another blink the trousers disappeared too. He sat on the edge of the bed. He thought that Raven looked too good to actually be seen with him. Each and every time he saw her he felt that she became more and more desirable.

Today he had so thoroughly enjoyed her childlike delight at the simple paint color change in her house, he felt like laughing with her in delight. He wanted to tell her that he had changed the color for her. He had an almost over-whelming desire to be the source of her delight.

He stood up; looking in the mirror he suddenly appeared in black wool trousers, a black wool high-buttoned waistcoat, and a high collar white silk shirt all covered by his heavy black wizard robes. He stood looking at himself. He wanted to go to Raven now. He regarded himself in the mirror and thought how Raven would think he’d gone mad or possibly that he had a part in a play. He dispensed with the wizard robe, then the waistcoat. The collar on the shirt with out the robe looked odd too. He made the collar on the shirt look more ‘normal’. With a small smile he chose to keep the black wool trousers. He had always liked that the front of these trousers buttoned, and that the buttons were towards the side. To him the look was just more polished. He looked at the slightly long sleeves, with the French cuffs. He decided to keep the full French cuffs on the shirt tonight. He wore emerald and gold cuff links.

He looked at his reflection in the mirror again and gave himself a scrutinizing look. He concluded that it had taken him too long to decide what to wear. As he prepared to leave the room he slid his wand inside his trouser pocket along with thin small vial of his own special potion.

Raven let out a little yelp as the doorbell rang. She dashed down the stairs but as she approached the door she decided to count to ten before opening the door. She only made it to seven. She pulled the door open. She looked at Severus and thought that he looked fabulous. Glancing surreptitiously at his trousers she noted that they buttoned down the front and that the buttons were towards the side as if the material lapped over inside the front, similar to Navy style. She noticed the French cuffs on his shirt. With the pants and the cuffs she was reminded of a bygone era. He raised his arm up and pushed his shiny black hair out of his eyes. Raven caught the flash of the gold at his cuff. She felt her heart pound harder; it truly was like a bygone era. She smiled brightly at Severus.

“Good evening. “ Severus said. His eyes had already quickly appraised Raven immediately upon her opening the door. He particularly admired how the shiny blue top she wore hugged her body. He liked further that she wore a judicious, small sweater over the top. It showed a level of decorum of which he admired.

“Hi.” Raven managed to rasp. She exited the door with her purse in hand. She stepped onto the pavement ahead of Severus. He noticed that her skirt was also very nice fitting. Raven turned, looking at Severus, she caught him looking at her body under her close fitting skirt. Severus seeing Raven turning towards him, walked towards her, offering his arm. Raven placed her hand softly upon it; the two proceeded down the street.


The pair had spent the evening talking over dinner, not paying much attention to what they ate as they made their way through the meal. They lingered over cognac after the meal. Neither wanting the night to end. They walked slowly back to Raven’s house, yet arrive there too quickly never the less.

Raven opened her door then turned to Severus.
Severus looked down into her sparkling green eyes, lit from the street lamps behind him. He stared into her eyes, his mind seeing pools of emerald. He slid his hand up and gently brushed his thumb across her lips as if brushing off a crumb. Sliding his other hand behind her and into her shining dark hair he pulled her towards him, kissing her lightly upon the lips. He held her so softly that Raven felt as if she were being embraced in a cloud.

Severus held Raven lightly, as to permit her to pull away if she desired. He had experienced women pulling away from him the past and he since then, he always prepared for it to happen again.

Raven did not push Severus away. She slid her hands above his waist, around his back and returned the kiss. She kissed him very softly.

Severus placed his hand behind Raven’s head, his hands tangled in her thick dark hair, pressing his lips onto hers. Raven parted her lips, yielding to him, his tongue probing hers. Raven shifted her arms up around Severus’ neck; trying to pull him towards her and feel his hard, thin body. Severus leaned into her, his tongue desiring even more of her. He pulled her body against his, until he could feel her small breasts pressing into him.

Pulling his mouth from hers he turned and kissed her cheek he kissed his way his down to her neck. He caressed the side of her neck with his lips. His strong, thin arm encircling around her back, pressing her into him. He slid his tongue in the hollow of her shoulder kissing and suckling as he went. He slipped the shrug sweater off of her shoulder and pulled the strap of her tank top down also. He peppered her bare shoulder with feathery kisses. He noted that she seemed to not be wearing a brassiere. With this thought in his mind he suddenly turned kissing her again on the lips, his tongue searching for hers. He slipped his right hand from her back around to her stomach. He slid his hand upwards until he was just under her breast. Raven arched her back, his touch calling to her.

Gently and slowly Severus slid his thumb up and over Raven’s small upturned breast, feeling her hardened nipple thorough the material of her shirt. Raven let out a small mewling sound. She pressed her body against his. She could feel the buttons of his trousers rubbing against her stomach.

Severus pulled his mouth from Ravens and said, “Here.” He almost lifted her in through her front door.

Just inside the door Severus kicked the door closed with his heel. He did not want to let go of Raven for a moment, as he feared she might suddenly come to her senses and kick him out.

He pressed her against the inside of the closed door. His hands wrapped around the sides of her face his tongue longing for hers again. He glanced at her through half closed eyes, he could not believe his luck in being with her.

Moving his hands over her shoulders he slid her shrug sweater completely off of her. It came unbuttoned and fell to the floor. Severus kissed lightly on Raven’s lips. His hands hovering over her breasts, through his downward gaze, he could see them right beneath his palms. He slowly reached forward, bringing his palms into contact with Raven’s breasts with the lightest touch. He could feel both hard, nipples pressing into his palms. He made small circular motions. Raven moaned softly into Severus’ kissing mouth. She tried to pull him towards her, to feel her body pressed into his. Severus blocked this with his weight as he continued his striations on her nipples. Raven pulled her mouth from his breathing in deeply. She removed her hands from his back and plied them towards his neck and into his hair. She could feel the softness of his long, straight hair as it slid through her fingers.

Severus let out an involuntary husky breath himself. He hadn’t really experienced a woman running her hands through his hair and enjoying it, as Raven seemed to be.
He looked into her eyes as she was watching her hands and looking at his hair. She suddenly noticed Severus looking at her look at him. “ You’re hair is so nice and soft and straight.” She whispered to him, pulling his head towards her neck.

Severus could feel his heart pounding in his head. He began kissing Raven on her neck, with his hands now on both sides of her shoulders, he began sliding her tank top straps down her arms. Gently he slid the front of the tank lower on Raven. Feeling this, Raven then slipped her hand between the buttons on Severus’ shirt. She could feel his chest muscles, she slipped her hand back out from between the buttons unbuttoning one of the buttons, she placed her hand back inside his shirt. She reached up to his chest feeling his small nipple. She slid her middle finger gently over it. Teasing at it with gentle, soft strokes. She could feel it become harder. Pulling her hand away she moved to the outside of his shirt, unbuttoning more buttons.

Severus slid the tank top lower on Raven. He lifted it over her anxious nipples, sliding it onto her waist. Raven breathed in deeply. She reached around his back with both arms and pulled herself towards him. Severus was surprised to find that his shirt was completely opened to the waist as Raven suddenly pressed her small bare breasts into his now bare chest. She hugged onto him briefly. Pulling back slightly she then slid her breasts back and forth gently across his hard chest. He only had a small amount of hair, but Raven seemed to be enjoying the sensation. Severus looked into her face. She seemed to be entranced with what she was doing.

Severus pushed her away slightly as he wanted to look down at her semi naked form. He looked at her tiny breast pointing towards him. He kissed at Ravens neck, one arm around her neck plying her hair as he slid his other hand again to her nipple. Sliding small kisses down her body he reached her other nipple with his lips, kissing her breast, he then softly kissed her nipple. Darting his tongue out he gave a small lick to her the tip of her nipple, he quickly then blew his breath across it. He could see it grow even harder. Smiling, he pulled the hard little nub into his mouth with his teeth. Raven moaned out loud at this action. Her hips moved involuntarily against Severus. He moved his mouth then to her other nipple. Suckling it harder, he could feel it become yet harder in his mouth.

Raven moaned again, running her hands through Severus’ hair. She looked through half closed eyes at him enjoying her naked breasts. She wanted to feel his naked body against hers. In her mind she could picture them naked in her bed, Severus above her, his dark eyes, drinking her in.

Severus suddenly had an image of himself leaning over Raven in her bed. He knew though that the thought was hers and not his. Due to his Legilimens ability and the emotions of the moment, Raven’s thought had become available to him.

He moved to look into her face, her eyes looking deeply into his. Severus pulled her towards him, kissing her deeply. Raven pulled her body against his, enjoying the feel of her nakedness against him. She slid her hands up over his back, she caressed down his shoulders, sliding his shirt before her hands as she went. The shirt sleeves bunching at his wrists, Raven worked the cufflinks loose, letting them drop to the floor, she slid the shirt completely off of Severus. She engulfed his sinuous body with her own. Severus stood still and let Raven do as she pleased, for it was pleasing to him also.

Raven hugged her body into his. Severus put his arms around Raven. She pressed her face into his chest. She could feel the heat his body was giving off. Pressing herself back from him she looked at his naked chest in front of her. Then she looked up at his face. He was watching her look at him. He suddenly pulled her into a deep kiss, his tongue wrapping around hers. Severus slid his hands down over Raven’s slim posterior. His hands engulfed and over lapped her. He pressed her pelvis into him. Raven could feel his firm shaft pressing into her stomach. She reached up, her left hand gently touching his hard shaft. She let her hand slide the length of it. Severus pulled her hand away. Looking into her eyes, with an almost questioning look, he thrust his hips against her.

Raven’s body responded involuntarily to his trust as she pressed into him with several small thrusts of her own. Becoming more aroused, Raven could feel herself becoming wet. She could feel herself losing control.


Severus slid to his knees before her. Pulling her stomach against his face, holding her. He slid his hands over her small bum. Pressing her body against him He reached to the back of her skirt feeling for a zipper. How he longed to use magic.

She reached back towards his hands. She pulled his hands away from their activity.
“ Not yet.” She whispered. “Really, not yet.”

Severus heard her through his fog of arousal. He attempted at the zipper again. Her hands again pulled his away. Pulling her towards him he placed gentle kisses on her bare stomach, his hands still engulfing her small tight bum. Moving his hands up her bare back he slid his finger tips over her back with feather light touches, keeping his face pressed against her, breathing in the scent of her skin.

Raven ran her hands over his soft black hair, smoothing it down from her messing caresses of earlier. She could stand here like this all night. The feel of Severus pressed into her body and her hands running through her hair. She felt as if she were in a dream. She closed her eye letting her head loll backwards in the pure relaxation and feeling of perfection with the situation.

Severus held his face against Raven and felt as though his life were somehow blessed. He felt the normal cat like tension slip from him as he knelt here holding her. He felt a level of relaxation he hadn’t felt for years. Except for the fact that the wooden floor was very hard, he felt as if he could have stayed like this all night. He didn’t know how long they did stand there like that, each not wanting to break the spell.

Severus turned kissing Raven on the stomach, he came slowly to his feet.

“I’m sorry. “ He said softly to Raven. “I think we have to move.”

“Oh, no, I should apologies.” Raven said. “I’m sure your knees are killing you.”

As Severus came to his feet Raven slid her arms into her tank top, pulling it into place. She reached out and pulled him towards her. She pulled him into a hug, her face pressed against his still bare chest “ I could have stayed like that all night.” She whispered. “All night.” She repeated.

Severus looked down at the top of her messy curls. He pressed the bottom of his chin onto her head. He decided that since she was so honest and forthcoming that he should be also. “I could have also.” He agreed huskily.

Raven released her grip on Severus; looking downward she caressed his forearms, liking the sinuous feel of them. She slid her hands along his arms, towards his large wrists out onto his large hands, which were wrapped at her waist. Sliding them back onto is strong forearms she slid closer to him and kissed his chest.

Severus watched her with interest. He longed to perform legilimency on her but he restrained himself. He found himself curious as to the way she touched him. In his limited experience with normal woman, it seemed to him that she actually liked him.

He slipped his arms from her hands and pulled her into him, again in an embrace. He didn’t want to leave and cross the street to his own house. But he knew that he couldn’t stay here with Raven if she was not ready to do more with him.

“I really must leave. “ He said finally.
“ Oh, I know.” Raven whispered. “ If you stayed, well, I think we know what would happen. I’m just not ready yet, Severus.” She stated. She sounded as though she were apologizing for her feeling.

“ I understand.” Severus said, pulling her closer to him, he hugged her. “ Don’t sound apologetic. “ I respect your decision. Woman are just different then men and that part I like.” He said smiling. He pulled her away from his chest and kissed her forehead.
