Chapter 9°A peculiar discovery.

 Malfoy took his sweet time returning to her, alas when he did return, he came bearing gifts, well food and books... But she was very grateful. He placed the bowl of berries and fruits in her lap and kissed the top of her head, Hermione noticed there was less food in her bowl than normal, yet she dismissed it and ate quietly, she didn't want to come across as ungrateful, Draco had been so kind to her as of lately, she didn't want to ruin this. When she was finished and couldn't eat any more fruit, she placed the bowl in front of her and looked up to find Draco staring intensely at her with his arms crossed, he was leant back against his chair and smirking at her. She scanned him from head to toe, he was wearing plain black dress pants that clung to his crotch for dear life, they looked as if the seams were struggling to stay stitched together, she knew why... He also sported a loose white blouse that was rolled up his veiny arms showing a clear image of his irritated dark mark, he must have caught her staring because he shifted his hand to the front of his chair and leant forward.

"Enjoying the view?"

"Oh, I-"

She blushed feverishly and shook her head, dropping her gaze she cursed herself mentally and suddenly found her hands very interesting, she picked at the skin around her thumb out of habit, she didn't have to look at Malfoy to know he was wearing his signature smug expression, she needed to stop adding to his already inflated ego or he was going to combust

"I'll be leaving in a moment; will you be ok while I'm gone?"

Her chest swelled, he cared for her, he wanted to know if she would be alright, her wolf quietly celebrated until she calmed down and composed her thoughts

"...Yes, I'll be ok, thank you"

He leant forward and shifted off his seat, pacing slowly over to Hermione he bent down in front of her never once breaking their uncomfortable eye contact. He plucked a strawberry from the almost empty bowl in front of her and took a raised it to his lips slowly taking a tasty bite, she swore time slowed. Hermione's stomach pooled when she saw the remanence of juice on his red lips, his tongue darted out and narrowingly missed the liquid that sat on his bottom lip, she wanted to reach out and wipe it with her thumb then suck the juice, she wanted to lick it off his chin. He used his thumb to wipe the corner of his mouth, but the bastard porously missed the liquid again, it was getting to her, how could he miss it twice... It was defiantly intentional

"See you when I get back love, don't wonder about love, it isn't safe for you when I'm not here, I can't protect you if I'm gone"

He lightly kissed her lips, she sat there frozen still in her daydream about his dam mouth and where it had been. He walked out of the room, she shamingly licked her lips and tasted the remainder of him, now all she could think about were his lips, his very red lips, the lips that kissed her moments ago, the lips that explored other places... God! She was pathetic

Despite Hermione's breakfast she still felt hungry for something else, Draco had only given her some fruit, she supposed it was a fair breakfast all considering her being a prisoner and all, but she needed something more, she was oddly starving, her stomach rumbled.

He did tell her not to wonder about...

Maybe she could just-

No, better not. She didn't want to give him another reason to be mad at her, she didn't like it when he was mad... Hermione waltzed over to her trunk of bits and bobs she had been collecting, she felt like Ariel, she collected the strangest items. She picked up one of her now many books and re-opened the last chapter she was reading, she summarised the last chapters page, her eyes catching on the red fabric that lay in her trunk, she stared briefly at her red cloak, it made her practically invisible last time... maybe she could-
