Close Enough

Ch 66 The formal Bonding.

I was in the garden standing near a trellis covered in what looked like a mossy vine with small white flowers every so often. I stood looking out upon the small gathering of loved ones and acquaintances of my mate, attempting to be patient in my waiting; failing miserably. I did not fidget, however without my extensive training in stressful situations from my parents I could tell that I would have been unable to stand still for even a moment. In an attempt to keep myself from becoming self conscious I look around and inspect everyone else; a good way to make one’s self feel better in an ‘all eyes on you’ situation, find everyone else’s flaws.

Severus stood next to me in a high collared dress robe, all black, that was very simple yet elegant. His hands were clasped in front of him casually as he too surveyed the crowd. Everyone around us were standing not too far away, and were all holding a single while lily, something Pansy insisted upon she claimed that it would mean a lot to Harry. All Harry’s band members were standing close to where he would stand when he arrived, Cord being the closest of the lot. Blaise and Pansy stood close to my side, looking nearly as anxious as I felt. There were not many other’s in attendance, a few professors and other students, my attention was quickly drawn from them as the doors from the manor opened and a single figure walked out.

Harry walked slowly, yet confidently, down the path toward me never once his eyes leaving mine. His hair was mostly pulled back, yet some still fell in his face. He wore a long tunic style shirt made of some gauzy material that flowed around him, over long trousers of the same material. Before he reached me Blaise leaned close to my ear and whispered to me.

“Traditional wedding attire for the sub in a Creature ceremony.” He paused in a way that said he was trying to remember something, “it has something to do with purity, and bringing a clean self to the union. Cloe told me.”

I merely nodded as he leaned away again and Harry finished approaching me, he quickly made the one step up to be on the same level as Severus and I, and turned to face me full on. His skin seemed to glow at this distance, not golden or sparkly but white. I took the opportunity to smile at my mate, he was close to me again I could smell his amazing scent. A few moments and it clicked in my head that I would be completing the bond with my mate tonight, this pleasant thought was interrupted by Severus beginning to speak.

“It has been bid by the stars that these two before me be bound together for all eternity.” He pauses and takes something from the inside of his robes. “The stars, the skies, the gods, the heavens all command through the ancestors that Draco Lucian Malfoy be bound with his mate Harry James Potter on this night.” He holds his hands between myself and Harry palm up, presenting a long and sharp looking intricately carved dagger made of silver. “They shall be bound mind, body, soul, spirit, and blood from now until the end of time.” Taking the dagger in his hand I watch as he gingerly drags the tip across my mates palm, causing a small amount of his blood to spill forth. I growl slightly and narrow my eyes at my godfather, it is a moment before I realize he has done the same to me. Cloe hands him a chalice and takes the dagger from him, holding it as though it was the most precious thing she has ever held.

“I bind thee.” Severus carefully takes my hand and Harry’s and places our cut and bleeding palms together. He holds one hand around ours causing pressure and our blood to flow together, while the other hand holds the chalice under our joined hands to catch the stream of blood. “I bind thee together, never to part, by your own magic and blood.” He removes his hand from around Harry’s and my joined hands which immediately fall apart. I shift my eyes for a moment as my hand falls to look at my palm and notice that it is no longer cut, no longer bleeding, and there is not even a scar.

Severus hands Harry the chalice and steps back. I watch carefully as Harry holds the goblet gently with two hands, it resting ever so delicately on his fingertips. He takes one step closer to me and bows his head slightly while he raises the cup to my lips; I drink two healthy swallows before the cup is retracted. I am mesmerized as Harry shifts the goblet in his hands before raising it to his lips, taking great care to place his lips exactly where mine had been as he does so. In two swallows the cup is empty and handed back to Severus as he steps forward again.

“Your souls, your blood, you magic bind. The stars bid, we follow. Eternity awaits.” At these last words he steps off the raised patch with the trellis, as do all those who were close. Harry now stands directly in front of me and takes both of my hands in his and smiles up at me. I am unsure what to do and look out around us. Everyone is forming a circle and clasping hands tightly with one another, we are surrounded. They begin to chant and I can not make out or really understand the words, I watch Harry’s eyes light up at my confusion.

“They are blessing our life, our love, and our future family.” He whispers, leaning a little closer to me. “Wishing us luck, fortune, and happiness in our eternity together.” I feel the magic in the air surge around us, whirl like a cyclone, it pulls at my clothing and hair. Before I can even understand what is happening Harry’s lips are on mine in a tender coaxing kiss, I growl deep in my throat and wrap my arms around him pulling our bodies close together.

I have no idea how long we stayed like that, how long our first kiss as husband and husband lasted, but I do know that when we pulled back we were not the only ones out of breath. I looked around and most everyone was slightly flushed and breathing a little hard. I grinned and looked down at my mate who was slowly licking his lips, savoring the taste of our kiss.

“Draco, I think you might want to go ahead a whisk your little mate away” Cloe comments from a little ways behind me. I turn to look at her and smile. “I’m serious Draco. Unless you really want to complete the bond right here in front of us, then I guess you can stay.” She smiles wickedly as it dawns on me why she is saying this. I realize that now that we are bonded I can have what I want and what my mate desperately needs. I grin at her and we smile as everyone waves as we leave, me practically dragging Harry along by the hand into the manor and up to our suite.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


We made it half way to our room before we stopped the first time. I caught a strong whiff of Harry’s scent as we were making our way down the corridor, unable to control myself I pushed Harry against the wall and sealed our mouths together. He let out a startled squeak as his back hit the wall, but quickly responded to the kiss wrapping his arms around my neck and pulling me deeper into the kiss. He willingly parted his lips and allowed my tongue entrance into his warm sweet mouth, I dove in sliding one of my thighs between his putting pressure on his groin. He moaned and wriggled against me at the new position, causing me to realize we were still in the hall and I pulled away. My mate’s sad whimper at the loss of my body pressed firmly against his made me grin at him.

“Love, let’s do this in our room, instead of the hall.” He sulked for a moment but took my hand quickly and nearly dragged me down the hall toward our room. I would have laughed had I not been fighting the urge to just rip his clothing off in the hallway at that very moment and have my way with him right here for everyone to see. His draw his scent, everything about him seemed to be overwhelming me at the moment. As he came to a stop outside our door and fiddled with the handle, I slid up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist while kissing the side of his neck. A few moments later we both stumbled into the room and I pulled away for a moment.

“Harry, are you sure about this? I mean we can wait, I don’t want to push you…” I trailed off looking uncertain and feeling like I wouldn’t be able to hold back much longer even if the answer was no. I pace as far across the room as I can, just in case.

“Draco, I said I was ready.” My mate said in a soft seductive tone as he slowly walked toward me. “You know that I can not lie to you, why not check the bond to make sure that I am ready?” he suggested with a mischievous gleam in his eye as he slowly stalked toward me. “I mean, it would be the easiest way for you to make sure.” I watched, jaw nearly hitting the floor, as my mate begins to slowly undress as he finishes crossing the space between us. “But I tell you I am ready.” When he finally reaches me he only has on pair of white silk boxers, and he leans close to my ear whispering, “What’s wrong Draco? Not sure what to do now that you have permission?” I felt frozen, unable to move; bastard was using the link, not fair. Harry slowly circled around behind me reaching his hands around the front and slowly removing my clothing as he spoke. “Well, I guess that won’t be a problem. You see, after our little ceremony downstairs, as far as my Creature is concerned we are bonded. Which means I have my full inheritance.” After my shirt falls to the floor he moves back in front of me to use his carefully skilled hands to undo my pants. “Do you know what that means?” My pants fall to the floor, “I’m a sex demon, remember? This is what I am made for.” His hand slowly traces and pattern down my bare chest, down my stomach, and suddenly my boxers are gone. “Now my lucky mate, whatever shall you do about it?” He smirks up at me while he slowly ghosts his fingers over my erection.

Finally I feel whatever was holding me has let go and I scoop my mate up and nearly throw him onto the bed before climbing on top of him successfully pinning him underneath me. “That was not nice Harry.” I growl slowly licking the slide of his neck causing him to moan loudly. “You should not tease a very pent up Vampire, someone might get hurt.” I felt Harry chuckle softly and grinned into his neck before pushing myself up slightly and looking down at him. “You seem to still be far too clothed for this activity my mate.” I state with a slightly quirked eyebrow.

“Well, I did undress most of the way, and undress you.” he grins at me. “I think this one is yours.” I gently kiss his lips before moving down to his chin, across his jaw and down his throat. I spend a fair amount of time causing a harsh love bite at the base of his neck before kissing down his chest. I smirk to myself as I lick gently at my mate’s nipples, causing his back to arch violently upward and a gasp to erupt from his wide open mouth. Kissing down his stomach I loop my fingers in the waistband of his boxers and pull them down and off throwing them over the side of the bed.

“Much better.” I growl as I lean down and inhale deeply the heady scent of my mate gently nuzzling my face inside of his hip and next to his shaft. I hear him gasp yet again and set to work, forming a plan to make him beg for me. I lick gently around the base as I slowly push his legs further apart before moving on to his, as I soon discovered, very sensitive balls. If I didn’t know any better I’d say that he howled at the first pass my tongue made over them, his cock beginning to twitch already.

The sounds that Harry is making are nearly enough to send me over the edge all by themselves. I pull him close to the edge by ghosting my fingers over the head of his cock while I gently, but thoroughly, lick every inch of his cock and balls. I restrain myself from causing any friction to my own body, as I know that I want to be inside of him when I cum, I want to be taking him, causing him to scream and moan. I whisper a smart little spell I learned and slowly slid a finger into him.

“Oh gods.” I hear him moan loudly as I feel him squirm, attempting to take more or to get me to move faster I’m not sure. I slowly remove my finger most of the way and just as slowly push it back in, once it is fully seated back inside him I finally take the head of his cock into my mouth. I hear it beginning as I take my time slowly licking him, concentrating on keeping him just close enough to the edge. He mumbles, “Please…. Draco… I…” there was a long pause that was broken by a moan as I added a second finger, “I want…… please….” I pulled back from his cock allowing it to pop out of my mouth and nearly hit Harry in the stomach.

“Please what? What is it that you want?” I ask, smirking as I take care to begin rubbing his prostate with every stroke of my fingers. “Just tell me and it’s yours.” I whisper huskily and I watch my mate moan and writhe on our bed, eyes closed and head back.

“You…. you…. I want…. I need…. You….” his eyes fluttered open and he looked at me, his eyes nearly black with desire. “Please… Draco…. please… “ I smiled at him and slowly nudged his legs up toward his chest and his feet on my shoulders.

“Yes love… this may hurt…” I slowly remove my fingers, but quickly position myself at my mates entrance, willing myself to be able to go slow and not just slam my way home. “I’ll go slow okay?” Harry wriggled slightly and whined at the loss of my fingers but gasped and stopped moving when I began to slide into him. “Shhh…” I closed my eyes as I slowly sank into my mate’s tight heat, marveling in the feeling of being completed as well as completing at the same time.

“Draco….. please… move..” I hear Harry moan from beneath me. I open my eyes to find him looking up at me, nearly pleading with his eyes for me to take him. It takes me a moment to realize that I am and have been fully inside of him, that he and I are one as we are meant to be. Shifting my weight slightly I start to thrust into him, slowly, savoring the feeling that it bringing; feeling what Harry is feeling through the bond. Our eyes lock as I begin to thrust harder, deeper, I can feel Harry pushing and drawing from the bond. I know exactly how close he is and the feeling of both of our sexual energies swirling through the bond is driving me insane, I don’t know how much longer I can hold out.

“Harry… i…” I begin, but just then he removes a hand from where it is wrapped in the sheets and places it on the back of my neck and pulls me close before I can finish. We meet in a heated kiss, one that you would think could only be shared between someone and a dementor. Harry pulls me back slightly; he looks deep into my eyes before turning his head. I know what this is, I know what he is doing, he is offering what I need.

I bow my head down to his neck, my thrusts now slower so that I do not rip his throat out. His hands grip blissfully painful into my back as I sink my fangs into his throat and draw my first drink of my mate. He moans and bucks up into my thrusts now, I drink deeper moaning deeply to myself; swimming in the feeling of ecstasy.

Just as I was about finished drinking Harry pushed more of his magic into the swirling in the bond and we both stood at the edge of the abyss. With one final thrust from me I felt Harry’s muscles clamp down on me as he orgasmed and came all over our chests. The feeling caused me to pull off his neck and cum into his now convulsing body, before dipping my head back down and closing the wound I had created.

I could feel his smile on the side of my neck as I placed a gentle kiss over the spot where I had fed. I gently pulled out of him and murmured a cleaning charm before pulling my mate tightly to my chest.

“That was amazing.” I hear Harry say softly.

“I know.” I felt Harry jump against me and pull back to look at me.

“You know what?” He looked confused.

“You said it was amazing, I was just agreeing love.” I smiled up at his confused face and pulled him back down to my chest.

“Draco I didn’t say that out loud, I thought it.” He mumbled as he relaxed into my chest and fell asleep. I sighed and snuggled him close thinking, ‘I wonder what other things will be different now.’ I sighed contentedly and joined my mate in a restful slumber.
