Shades of Grey

Jealousy in the Pub

"Bella, come out!"  Hermione shouted from the living room.  "You've been in there for awhile and honestly, you are only meant to be getting dressed.  What's taking so long?"

"These muggle clothes aren't for me."  Bellatrix huffed out from behind her parent's bedroom door.

Hermione had convinced Bellatrix that she should go and pick something of her mother's to wear in the muggle world today because the corset wouldn't cut it.  It took her a whole 30 minutes to shove Bella into the room and the older witch slammed the door like a child while complaining loudly.  Hermione could only shake her head and laugh. 

"It can't be that bad.  I'm sure you look fine.  Just come out."  Hermione urged the other witch. 

"You aren't seeing it from my side, love."  Bellatrix called out before cracking the door open. 

Hermione took that as a sign to walk into her parent's room.  She found Bella looking over herself in the full length mirror in the corner of the room.  Bella had settled on a pair of black trousers, a chunky knit dark purple turtleneck sweater and a long black overcoat.  Her hair was worn down with wild curls framing her face. Bella looked up and met eyes with Hermione through the mirror.  "Well?  Is it as bad and I'm picturing it?"

Hermione swallowed and smiled.  "Bella you look gorgeous.  Seriously, if I haven't told you before, you should wear trousers more often." She said as she not so subtly grazed the older witch's body.  Bellatrix smirked and turned to face the brunette. 

"So, this look is working for me?"  Bellatrix smiled while reaching up to brush a strand of hair from Hermione's face. 

"You could make a burlap sack work for you, Bella."  Hermione flirted back.  Bellatrix trailed her eyes up and down the younger witch.  She was clad in a pair of black skinny jeans, a white scoop neck t-shirt and a red flannel.  She wore a pair of white vans and completed the look with a black beanie hat.  Bellatrix smiled in approval.

Bella closed the distance between the women and reached out to pull Hermione down into a kiss.  Hermione moaned feeling the soft lips press against hers.  Bellatrix smirked into the kiss at this sound.  Hermione brought one hand to rest on the back of the other woman's neck deepening the kiss.  Bellatrix swiped her tongue across Hermione's lower lip and was granted access.  They explored the new sensations with soft strokes of their tongues.  Their mouths were soft and languid as they both explored the new depths. After what seemed to be an eternity of slow exploration, the need for air was overwhelming. Bellatrix pulled back biting Hermione's lower lip, pulling it and sucking before letting go.  Hermione whined in protest as Bellatrix placed a small kiss on her lips and rested her forehead against the other woman's. 

When Hermione opened her eyes, she saw Bella's eyes have darkened with lust and she knew her eyes would mirror the want and need.  Bellatrix all but growled when she saw the need her the younger witch's eyes. 

Hermione was the first to speak, "that was..."

"Something we should do more of, frequently and as often as possible?"  Bellatrix finished with a smirk.

"Well yes but I was going to say breathtaking."  Hermione smiled. 

"I supposed it was that too," Bellatrix said placing a line of open mouthed kisses along Hermione's jawline.  She felt Hermione shiver at the motion and she let out a slight chuckle at Hermione's reaction.

"Bella, that feels amazing."

"But..." Bellatrix said leaning back in to suck a particularly sensitive spot on Hermione's neck near her pulse point.

"But... if you keep this up, we won't be leaving the house today."  Hermione managed to say while Bellatrix's kisses were unrelenting on her neck.

Bellatrix pulled back and looked into Hermione's eye.  "I'm failing to see the problem here, love."
