Taboo Eros (Severus Snape x Student)

=Chapter 11=

I walked into my chambers and Sage quickly ran over to the fireplace, shivering.

I waved my wand and summoned sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt for her to wear.

"Put this on." I said as I handed her the clothes. Without hesitation, she took them and started to undress right in front of me. I turned my head away to give her some privacy, but I couldn't help, but peek every now and then. She was beautiful. All of her curves and her skin looked so soft. I need to stop. I grabbed a book from my coffee table, sat down on the love seat and pretended to read. I couldn't read. I was so damn distracted by how beautiful she was.

She joined me on the love seat.

"Thank you for the clothes." She said shyly. I nodded.

"We need to talk." I said putting my book down and facing her.

"About?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

I held up a finger telling her to wait one second. I grabbed two glasses from under the coffee table and poured some fire whiskey. I handed her the drink and she took a sip.

"I think that it is fair that I explain why I told you that we can't happen."

"You think?" She asked me sarcastically.

"You better take another drink." I suggested.

"Is it that bad? You don't have to tell me."

"I want to." She nodded and sipped her drink. I took one too.

"I loved someone once before and she ended up loving someone else." I started.

"I'm sorry. She must have not seen what I saw in you." She said to me grabbing my hand.

"I'm not done yet." She nodded for me to continue.

"This drove me to a dark place and to this day I regret. Lily was her name and even though she fell in love with someone else I still cared for her, but at the same time I vowed never to love again." I paused and took another drink.

"I was stupid and in a rage that I didn't think about my actions. So, I joined you know who and became a Death Eater." I stood up and took off my robe and vest. Then I started to roll up my shirt sleeve where the faded tattoo was. Her eyes grew big in disbelief. She reached out and ran her hands over the tattoo. She gulped and didn't say anything.

I continued, "He ended up killing Lily and since then I have been a double agent working with Dumbledore exposing you know who's secrets." She looked at me and quickly stood up in front of me.

"Thank you for telling me, Severus." She grabbed me in a hug and this time I hugged back. I was so afraid that she would not understand and really hate me. Her reaction shocked me.

"You were right you know." She added as she took a step back grabbing my arm and pulling me back down on the love seat. I raised an eyebrow.

"I have been testing you. I've been upset and acted quite childish."

I didn't know what to say so I reached out to her cheek and rubbed it with my thumb looking her in her eyes.

"So how do we go about this?" She asked me.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you told me your reasoning, but does that mean we still can't be together?" I knew she was going to ask that and I really didn't get to think about it because I didn't think she would understand.

I took another sip of my drink. "I have been a complete idiot with you. So tell me what you would want? If we have a relationship, it will put your life in danger."

She took a sip of her drink and started, "Severus, I am sure that you can take care of me just fine."

"I just wouldn't be able to live knowing that I was the cause of you getting hurt or worse. Dead."

Sage POV

I was still in shock in what Severus had revealed to me, but I was more in shock that he trusted me with such secret information. He is so brave for being a double agent and I respect him on a whole new level. Every single person in this school thinks he is evil and cruel, but he is just a broken man.

I kissed his cheek, "Severus, you know I'm too stubborn to die."

A small smile played on his lips.

"You aren't going to change your mind in the morning and kick me out again are you?" I asked him jokingly.

He shook his head and smiled again. I love his smile. It makes me so happy.

He stood up and finished off his drink pulling me to his bedroom. I sat on the bed and watched his every move. He took of his white long sleeve shirt and removed his pants leaving only his black boxers. His body was lightly built, but I could see scars all over his body.  He pulled the covers back on the bed and slid under them pulling me right next to him. I smiled and let out a deep breath of comfort.

"We don't need to have a relationship. We could just be friends." I said to him giving him another option.

He sighed, "I know, but I couldn't imagine someone else putting hands on you like I want to."

"And how would that be?"

"I will show you in time." He said as he kissed the top of her head.

A few minutes past and we sat there in silence. Enjoyable silence.
