Forbidden touch

~What the f*ck just happened?~

I walk out of the bathroom with my heart in my stomach and my palms are sweaty. I see Narcissa talking with Pansy's parents, Lucius is nowhere to be seen which makes me even more anxious than I already was.

So, I walk over to Draco and Pansy and pull them into the hallway, hoping nobody saw us.

"What the hell is going on Knightley?" Draco asks with an attitude.

"Is everything okay? You look like you're going to be sick." Pansy looks me up and down then stares into my eyes with a worried look in hers.
"Lucius just caught Narcissa and I in the middle of... well you know. But, now I can't find him and I'm freaking the fuck out." I run my hands through my hair as I pace around the dark hallway, listening to my heels hitting the wooden floor.

"Fuck Knightley. What did he say?" Draco's all attention is on me and so is Pansy's which makes me feel a bit more anxious.

"Well he looked at Narcissa and I as she fixed herself up and he said 'The Parkinsons are here and they wanted to say hi to you. But, I can tell that you're a bit... Occupied. Do you want me to tell them you will speak to them later?' He showed no emotion. I know he doesn't usually show emotion but I thought, in this circumstance, he would show at least a little bit. But nothing. Then Narcissa left and so it was just him and I and he looked at me and said 'So, you and my wife?' and I told him it was nothing but then he said 'It didn't sound like nothing' and fucking walked off to Merlin knows where." I keep pacing, knowing that if I stop moving, I'm going to throw up and I don't want that to happen in this dress.

"Fuck." Draco sighs, his hands now in his hair as well.

"Shit K." Pansy sighs as well and leans back up against the dark green wall.

"I don't know what to do guys. What if he tells someone? Narcissa would be sent to Azkaban probably and I doubt I'd be allowed to visit her or ever come back here again. I'm freaking the fuck out guys." My legs start to get tired from walking back and forth but I don't bother stopping.

"Okay, the party is almost over so, let's wait until everybody leaves so we don't look super suspicious and look for him afterwards." Pansy says, getting up from the wall.

Nobody says anything. The only thing you can hear are my heels hitting the floor and the distant laughter and music coming from the ballroom. All of a sudden, I feel a cool hand grab my wrist and yank me back, causing me to stop moving. I felt like I was going to be sick, thinking that Narcissa followed us or Lucius, but I look to see Draco looking straight into my eyes.

"Stop. Everything is going to be okay, alright? I promise you, nobody will say anything to anybody. Now let's get back to the party so nobody throws a search party for us and drink and dance and get everything off of our minds for at least an hour okay?" He doesn't look away from my eyes. His ice blue eyes pierced into my cool blue ones. A sudden wave of calm fills my body and I take a deep breath in.

"Okay." I open my eyes and nod my head.

We walk back into the ball, Narcissa is now talking to different people and there's no sign of Lucius. We walk over to the table where all the drinks are and I chug two glasses of champagne and drink half a glass of white wine.

"Okay, let's go." I grab their hands and go right in the middle of the ballroom.

A server came by with a tray of champagne and I grabbed a glass and chugged it within seconds and put it back on the tray.

I try to let myself go, to forget everything but I felt Narcissa's eyes on me, I felt Lucius's eyes on me even though I didn't see him anywhere. And so, when another server came by again, I grabbed two more glasses of champagne and chugged them as fast as I could.

At this point, I could tell I was far from sober. My head was spinning even when my body wasn't. I no longer felt eyes on me, I just danced and drank and danced and drank.

That is until, when I went to reach for a glass of champagne at the drinks table, a hand grabbed my wrist and yanked it away from the glass.

"I think you've had enough." Their voice was cold and dark, I felt their breath when they whispered in my ear, "Follow me, now." And I watched them walk out of the ballroom and so I followed.

I follow them out into the hallway, then into a room I've never seen before.

"Sit." Their voice appeared in the dark. I look around, letting my eyes adjust to the darkness and find a chair.

All of a sudden, the lights to the room and I look to see Lucius standing in the corner, his long blonde hair resting on the shoulders of his dark green suit. He was truly beautiful, he and Draco looked very similar. Their eyes are the same color, but I believe Lucius's eyes are a bit darker than Dracos. His jawline was more defined than Draco's and so was his cheekbones. His lips were more plump than Dracos were, his lips were always a bit thin but I never minded.

"We need to talk." He walks closer to me, sitting across from me on the couch. I look around to see that we are in his office.

Draco was never allowed to come in here. None of Draco's friends were allowed in here. Not even Narcissa came in here.

"Listen, if this is about you finding Narcissa and I in the bathroom, I promise it was just a one time thing and that's it." All of a sudden, the drunk feeling that was once filling my body was now fleeing and I could feel myself begin to get anxious every second that passed.

"Now, you and I both know that isn't true. I've known about both of you for quite some time. So don't lie to me Knightley." He leans over, his elbows resting on his thighs, his eyes staring right into mine.

I had no idea what to say, my heart was racing and I felt like I could pass out at any minute.

"I promise I'm not mad." He doesn't look away once, even when I look away and down at my feet, I can still feel his eyes on me. And yet, I didn't feel uncomfortable like I usually do when he says hello and goodbye to me, no, I felt comfortable. I may feel anxious, but I'm not frightened by him.

And so, I look up. I look directly into his eyes and don't look away. "Then why am I here? If you aren't mad then why did you bring me here?" I raise my eyebrow, I ignore the nervousness in my body and how much I was shaking. I didn't want him to see that I was anxious, I want him to see that I am completely fine. "Now, if you don't mind Mr. Malfoy, I'm going to go back to the party and drink some more." I smile at him and start to walk to the door when a hand grasps my wrist.

I turn around and smack him without thinking and he drops my wrist. I put my hand over my mouth, staring as he looks down to the ground then meets my eyes.

I've never seen him this angry before. His eyes were now much brighter than Draco's and his right cheek was bright red.

"Fuck, I am so sorry." I say, feeling embarrassed and sorry.

He stares into my eyes. Within a flash, his hand is around my throat and he pushes me up against the door.

"You hit quite hard Knightley," His face was close to mine, I could feel his warm breath on my face. I don't look away from his eyes, instead I stare right back at him, not showing him how much I am actually liking this.

"It looks like it." I smirk, "Do you need an ice pack? It looked like it hurt." I look at him and smirk even more.

He comes close to me, his lips inches away from mine. One more step and our lips will meet. "Do not ever hit me again." His lips now just below my ear. "Ever." His lips gently graze over my neck. I to the left as he continues to kiss me neck and I breath in deeply.

He looks at me, his eyes on mine. He takes a step back, his hand comes off from around my neck. "Now get out of here." He stares at me as he walks even closer to me than he was before, his lips right in front of mine

For a second I thought he was going to kiss me, but that was just what I wanted and he knew that, and he wasn't going to let me have it.

"And don't tell anybody about this." He says as he twists the doorknob and opens it.

Once he closes the door and I'm left alone in the dark hallway, I fall back onto the wall and run my hands through my hair.

"What the fuck just happened." I whisper to myself.
