Arranged ✸ REGULUS BLACK

T W E L V E

My legs were sticky, my fast heart beat was slowing down, and I'd never felt so fucking good. 

"That was amazing." 

I laughed lightly at Regulus's words. He lifted his head from my neck, helping me sit up. 

"It truly was." I responded. He smiled, bringing a hand to my cheek and pulling me in for a passionate kiss. I moaned as his other hand rested on my side.

"Mmnn! Reg!" I muttered with a laugh, pulling back when his hand travelled up, to close to my boobs. 

"What? No round three?" He chuckled. 

I smiled, running a hand through his dark hair, "Need I remind you that my dress is currently is shreds on the floor, and we've both cummed twice?"

"I thought I told you I'd replace it." He muttered, lips attaching to my neck. 

"Oh." I breathed as he nipped my skin lightly, "Reg..."

"Still no round three?"

I lightly pushed him away, getting off the desk with a laugh. The instant my feet touched the floor and I stood, I swayed, my legs giving out. Thankfully, Regulus's arms quickly wrapped around my waist. 

"Definitely no round three." He decided, picking up his black jacket and putting it over my shoulders. I smiled at his caring nature and movement to cover me from the cold air. 

"Let's get you some clothes." 

I laughed, "You too!"

By the time dinner came, my legs weren't as shaky, and I could stand without relying on Reg. Still, that didn't mean my core ached any less. I didn't regret the sex we had one bit, only the after effects. I felt like if he mentioned it again, I would flush red and have to hide for at least a month. 

We sat next to each other at the table, the house elves appearing with our food. 

"Have you written back to St Mungos?" Regulus questioned, resting his chin on his hand. 

"Not yet. I'll do it tomorrow." I responded, taking a breath, "You... you won't mention it to my parents will you? I don't think they'd be pleased."

He nodded, "I won't. They don't have a say in what you can and can't do, Rose. Not anymore." He took my hand. 

"That's the benefit of this marriage." I joked. 

His mouth opened, mocking disbelief, "The benefit? And here I thought the sex was."

I blushed brightly. Of course he had to mention it. 

"On a serious note through," He continued, "The Dark Lord may... require your skills from time to time."

"What do you mean?"

"If one of the death eaters hurt themselves, it is possible you may be called upon to assist in healing them. I'm sure it'll be rare; I just want you to be aware." His grasp on my hand tightened.

"When... when's the next meeting?"

He sighed, "In two days time. We're both expected to attend."

Silence enveloped us, the sound of our knives and forks against the plates echoing. Being a pureblood sucked.

I lay in bed, looking up at the roof. Ever since dinner, my mind had been plagued with thoughts. Serving the Dark Lord came with prices, such as the constant risk of safety, and the possibility of having a family; for they'd be at risk. I shook the thought of the snake-like man out of my head. 

"Reg?" I questioned. 

He was undressing himself, left in only pants at the moment. He hummed, stopping his movements and looking at me. 

"Have you ever thought of raising a family?" I continued, sitting up. 

He was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Sometimes. Why?"

"My mother will probably be calling my soon, and she's always had grandchildren in mind."

Regulus smirked, sitting on the bed next to me, "I'm sure we'll have no problem with that."

His husky tone made me tingle, and shift slightly. 

"I'm being serious Regulus."

"So am I."

I shook my head, "Answer me honestly, have you ever thought about having children."

"It's crossed my mind."

"How many would you want?"

"As many as you would want to have." He answered, without hesitation. 

I smiled, "So if I wanted to have lots..."

"We'd have sex a lot, and the house would be filled with children."

"And if I only wanted a few?"

"We'd still have sex a lot, but we could use protection."

I bit my lip, "You're really fine with either?"

"With you? I'll be fine with anything."
