Severus Snape A Soul Undiminished

Chapter 54 - Unconstrained

Sirana's weariness was replaced by the warmth of Severus's body and mind seeping into her. It had all been worth it. All of it. She had made it through, and the relief was overwhelming.
She burst into tears. She didn't want to do that. It had been such a long road, and she was so happy to be back home. Severus felt like home to her, and she had fought so hard to make it back to him. He held her tighter, and he didn't let her go until her tears subsided.
She finally looked at him. "I'm sorry. I didn't want to cry. I'm okay now. I'm just so relieved to be back home—with you."
Severus pulled out his handkerchief and let her wipe her face. "Please, don't be sorry for your tears. They are shed from love. I love you, Sirana. I don't have the words to tell you how much. But I do. More than anything," he spoke softly, stroking her hair.
She smiled at him; he had no idea how his words always touched her heart. She could see his eyes were glossy with their own tears.
Severus didn't let her know that his own tears had threatened to fall. His throat hurt from holding them back. He didn't want

her to worry for him. He wanted to be there for her. She had made it through hell and back to be with him, and he would make sure she knew how grateful he was for her—how much he loved her. He kissed her, letting his mind touch hers, letting her know what his words couldn't express. He planned on using his body to do the same. She didn't even complain when he picked her up and carried her to their bedroom, but he could feel her smile under his kiss.
He laid her down on the bed. He watched her watching him as he took off his clothes. She smiled, her eyes smoky, as he unbuttoned his shirt, baring his chest. He still didn't know what she saw in him, but when he touched her mind out of curiosity, he was soundly shocked at her attraction to him, and to the reaction of her body to him. He felt her peek in his mind in turn, and he could see her blush at his unconstrained attraction and desire for her. He rid himself of his trousers and shorts, and his body undeniably attested to what was in his mind.
Sirana hadn't forgotten how attractive Severus was—she had thought about him every day she was away. But the vivid reality of him here in front of her was profoundly powerful. She felt like the room was charged with electricity, and as he climbed into the bed with her, she felt like it tingled all over her body. When he laid next to her, she felt the intensity of his heat touching her body, all of her senses tuned into him. He started slowly, stroking her face and hair, and she was grateful for his gentleness. He always seemed to know what she needed. He kissed her forehead and then her cheek, moving to her mouth. He kissed her tenderly, and she melted under his soft kisses.

He looked in her eyes as he moved to kiss her breasts, and she gasped as he took her nipple in his warm mouth, his hand moving to her other breast, kneading it softly, then matching the movement with his fingers on that nipple to his mouth on the other. She instinctively arched up to him, and he moaned his satisfaction at bringing her pleasure. He let his hand trail slowly down her body, resting on her mound. Severus massaged her slowly, and she couldn't help but squirm with the need for him to touch her more deeply. He let his fingers slip in, rubbing her more firmly, and she moaned his name.
Severus wanted nothing more than to bring her pleasure, and he relished in the way she responded to him. He heard her say his name, and he couldn't hold back from her any longer. He moved his mouth to hers, kissing her once more, then raised up to look at her as he moved over her with his body. Her eyes told it all, and as he guided himself to her, he saw her bite her lip in anticipation. He pushed into her, groaning his own pleasure as he slid all the way in, hearing her gasp hoarsely. Severus felt the rush of heat move through his whole body, and he moved in and out of her slowly, taking long strokes deep into her. He could feel her tighten on him, her whole body flushing with the heat building inside of her. He heard her say his name, "Severus...I'm so close...please..." He maintained his pace, slowly driving into her. Sirana's hands were on his back, her fingers grasping at him, and he could feel her moving closer and closer. She gasped suddenly, her whole body contracting, and he could feel her spasms as he moved in her. It was an exquisitely gratifying feeling, and he savored every moment of it. Severus could feel himself getting closer, and he lifted

himself higher on his hands, thrusting his hips forward and up, grinding into her in long, slow strokes. His own climax hit slow and hard, and he let out a deep groan that caught in his throat, making him gasp at the prolonged intensity. He fell to her side, pulling her to him. Even with the chill of the room, they were both covered with a sheen of sweat, and he pulled the blanket over them. She snuggled into him, and they lay, talking and holding each other late into the night.
