Precarious (Severus Snape x Reader)

Chapter 22: Good Girl

"Are you going to do something about it?"

-

Severus was awake and readying for the day before you had roused, and you took great pleasure in watching him dress once again. You carefully analyzed all of his taut muscle and smooth motions as he donned his button down, then covered it with his robes. You were imagining yourself undoing every button he fastened when he leaned down to plant a fresh, minty kiss to your lips.

"Good morning, darling," he said quietly, brushing your hair from your eyes. You smiled and blinked slowly.

"Morning."

"Are you excited for the day?" he asked as he stroked your cheek delicately with his thumb.

You nodded sleepily. "Yeah, I suppose I should get up."

He helped you extricate yourself from his bed and ghosted his hands along the hard protrusion of your hips. He bent to kiss you once more.

"You're perfect," he muttered, pulling you into an embrace. You breathed him in deeply and found yourself yearning for a time turner so you could fall back into bed together.

"I need to go back to my quarters," you said reluctantly, feeling your heart tugging at you to stay wrapped in his warmth. "I have to shower and change clothes...and feed Brew."

He snickered. "You could shower here," he offered.

As enticing as was the thought, you knew that if you undressed in his bedroom, you would both be very late. You had a staff meeting at eight and it was already seven o'clock.

"I don't think that's a good idea, given that we can't keep our hands to ourselves," you replied, smiling suggestively.

He dragged his bottom lip through his teeth and loosened his grasp.

"You're probably right."

He released you, and, with a final kiss, you departed and scurried toward your quarters, still clad in his shirt. You filled Brew's bowl and cuddled her for a moment before heading to the bathroom and starting the shower. Although you had only been gone for a few minutes, you missed Severus fiercely and began to grow excited to see him again. Your eagerness prompted you to hurry through your wash, and after twenty-five agonizing minutes, you strode back to his classroom. He was sat at his desk when you swung the door open.

"Back so soon?" he drawled as he stood to greet you.

"Couldn't stay away." You kissed him deeply, savoring the taste of him, and felt the warm stirrings twinkle in your belly.

"We don't have nearly the time for what you're thinking," he chuckled.

"Shame."

You laced your hand through his and he lead you up the dungeon stairs to Minerva's classroom where the meeting was to be held. Disappointingly, he released your hand when you approached the door, but you knew in your heart it wasn't because he wanted to. It would have a foul connotation if the two of you were seen touching so familiarly by other teachers. You were surprised to find that most of the professors were already there, as it was only seven thirty-five.

Maybe we'll start early so there will be time to-

Not today, maybe tonight.

Severus' thought echoed in your head as it interrupted yours. You scowled at him for shooting your idea down so quickly, before you could even voice it. He gestured toward a polished oak desk and pulled a chair out, and you smiled up at him as you took your seat.
