Body and Soul

Soft shades of purple and red lit their backs as they walked down the hill, the path growing harder to see as they went further towards their destination - picking their way through tree roots and rocks strewn carelessly about, making the way treacherous the further on they went. She stumbled once and he grasped her arm with his hand, silent still, and helped her the rest of the way.

They stepped through a shield of trees and into a clearing, and she gasped softly at the scene before her. The sun was nearly faded from view, and reflected on the water in front of them was a glorious cascade of colors and shades, making the water seem as though it was alive and breathing. Severus let go of her arm and began to get undressed, and she did the same, slightly self-concious, even though he had seen her nude before.

Finally, they were undressed, and she shivered as a breeze caressed her body, the only movement that she had noticed since they had arrived in this place. Severus walked into the water and she followed him, biting back the cry of shock that surfaced as the chilled water covered her body. He submurged himself to his neck and waited patiently as she did the same at a much slower pace then he had done.

Without a word he waved his hand and a small flower appeared in his grasp - it\'s stems were swollen at the nodes and notched - the petals that he crushed in his hand were a delicate purple, almost mirroring the last of the sunset that now tinged the edge of the horizon. Severus pulled her close and began to wash her - his hands soft and warm against her skin, making her notice the chill of the water even more as it swirled up in small waves as they both moved in an intricate dance.

When they had both washed completely, he pulled from her and made his way back to the shore. Narcissa followed in his wake, the bite of the air making her nipples taught and a warm heat began in her center as she looked directly at Severus, awaiting what came next with both trepedation and excitement.

As soon as she stepped from the water, Severus caught her hand in his and led her to a tree that stood tall and straight, well away from the other trees which ringed this clearing. The bark was smooth and almost shiny in the darkness which now surrounded them, and he pushed her against the trunk until her back was flush against it. He pulled her hands around the back and the vines which were around the base of the tree slowly slithered upwards and bound her hands together - and then her feet - pulling her tightly against the tree and allowing minimal movement.

Severus waved his hand again and four small candles that she had not seen in the darkness sprang to life, creating shadows on his face that made him seem to be someone else entirely. She bid her heart to still itself and watched as he prepared for the ritual, the water dripping from his black hair and his pale skin reflecting the shimmering candle light that struck it.

Satisfied finally, he moved until his body was almost touching hers and caught her eyes with his own. Soon she was lost in the fathomless black and barely registered his hand lightly stroking her nipple. He bent his head and broke eye contact with her, clamping his teeth into the tender flesh of her neck and his mouth alternating on her - always between a sharp bite and a soothing kiss. His hand moved down as he marked her, his long fingers stroking her center delicately, teasing her until she strained at her bindings - the intense mixture of pleasure and pain coarsing wildly through her body.

He trailed his lips down her neck, taking each nipple in turn, teasing them to hard peaks with his tongue and letting his teeth graze them until she was panting with need. He trailed his lips father down, kneeling on the ground before her. A soft bite on the tender flesh of her thighs caused her to stifle yet another moan, and then he captured her heat with his mouth, sliding his tongue inside of her and savoring the tase of her in his mouth. He nibbled and sucked, his tongue exploring her - one finger sliding inside, rubbing at her nub with a constant, steady pressure that caused her to beg softly for more, her words finally breaking the silence that surrounded them.

He stood up then, pulling his mouth and finger from her just as she was nearing orgasm, and with one movement of his hand the vines released her and she pulled away from the tree and was once again lost in his eyes. She dropped to her knees suddenly, her eyes not leaving his, and only broke contact when she took his hardness in her mouth, swallowing him completly. Her tongue slid along him as she pleasured him, her mouth moving in a slow, sensual rhythm along the length of him. His legs shook slightly as she took him so deeply into her throat, and he wrapped his fingers in her still damp hair, his grip tightening until she moaned while her mouth was filled with him, her tongue never stopping it\'s delicate teasing of his length from inside her mouth.

He thrust towards her, the intense pleasure she was giving him spiralling him to the very edge of his control. With a soft groan he pulled her up, capturing her lip with his own, savoring the mingled tastes of the both of them as he wrapped his tongue around hers and sucked softly, his hands touching every inch of her in a heated exploration she matched with her own hands trailing everywhere they could reach.

The candles flickered then - once, twice, and as their bodies moved against each other, nearly bringing them both to orgasm once again, the flames shot high, bathing them both in a clear white light. With a murmured groan he pushed her against the tree once more and thrust into her, pulling her legs up even as she wrapped them around his waist. He moved in her, his thrusts fast and animalistic, their bodies soon becoming slicked with sweat as he drove deeper inside of her. Soon her cries of pleasure sounded around them, and as he felt her climax - her walls tightening around him - he bit once more into her neck and spent himself into her with a loud grunt, shaking slightly as she lay against him for support, her own limbs releasing and quivering slightly.

The candles flickered once more, and without even a hint of a breeze they went out in a blink, leaving them once more surrounded in darkness. He pulled from her gently, and helped her lower herself to the ground, laying beside her on a soft bed of moss. He pulled her close to him, and spoke softly, almost reluctant to break the silence. \"You are forever mine now, Narcissa. Body and soul, we are one.\"

She closed her eyes and sighed contendly, letting his words fade away before she answered him. \"Body and soul, we are one.\"

Severus smiled and waved his hand once more, bringing his cloak over to them, and covering them both with it. \"I love you Narcissa.\" He could feel the weariness beginning to overtake him, feel the magick that seemed to almost shimmer around them settle in and take hold of the both of them, wrapping an invisible line around them, binding them to one another.

\"And I love you, Severus.\" As she spoke those words, a soft humming surrounded them, and they were enveloped in a soft white light. And then the darkness was once more, and they slept, both wrapped around each other, and smiles on their faces.
