My blood runs cold. I don't dare to say I word, I only stare at him. What does he mean? Does he mean what I think he does?

"Tell me where the problem is." He commands, still peering me down.

Come up with something. "What problem?"

"Oh don't play clueless now Roselee, I hate when you do that." Draco spits out, allowing his eyes a slight roll to the side. He is mad. And yet I don't answer him. I simply don't know what to answer him. "So? What's the matter?" He continues.

I shake my head again. Perhaps my thinking on why Draco reacts that way isn't quite correct. I really hope it's not. "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Jeez I just told you not to play dumb. You are not dumb, so stop acting like it."

"There is no problem." I add quickly. His stare intimidates me so I try to focus on something else but his glare makes it impossible for me.

"Why didn't you come then?"

Shit, he knows.

"I did." Lie. Such a gigantic lie. Actually, I wasn't able to come in weeks. Since Draco started to be extra over-careful, I stopped feeling the overwhelming pleasure I used to feel with him on top of me. I am not saying I don't feel anything, I just feel less. Got used to the maximum he is giving me nowadays.

"So now you are lying to me? I know that you didn't. You never do."

Oh, he knows.

Biting my bottom lip, I swift my gaze away from him. "How would you know?"

"Because I know." He says right away. My eyes wander to the side, right to his forearm which is placed right next to my head. They glide along his Dark Mark. I quickly look away, meeting his eyes again. His features soften up a little, noticing my glance at his arm. Before Draco clears his throat his eyes harden up again. "So what's the matter? All these weeks you haven't finished once, Rose. Not once. And I thought I was just being dramatic but in fact I know that you didn't enjoy this at all just now. It feels like you are in thoughts completely else where."

I start to shake my head. "No, I really did enjoy it, Draco. Really."

He clicks his tongue again, sighing. "You are not being honest with me."

I remain quiet for a moment. "...I did come."

Draco only shakes his head, his eyes breathily lowering to my still bare breasts before finding mine again. "I know you didn't. I would normally feel it."

"How?"

Draco licks his lips before looking up a bit, recalling a memory or sorting through some thoughts. "Well firstly, when you get close, your entire body tenses up. You shut your eyes and throw your head back. Then, your right leg moves up, just a little, and you hold your breath for three seconds. Your lips part just enough for me to notice and when it hits, you catch a silent breath." I stare at him in wide shock as he continues talking. His voice is quiet. His eyes brooding. "You didn't do any of that for a while now."

Not even I myself knew I was doing these things on the regular basis. I never thought Draco payed that much attention to such small things about me.

Wow, now I truly feel bad about lying to him all this time. But I couldn't help it, I just didn't want to disappoint him. "I'm sorry, Draco." I mumble, trying to sit up but he is leaning his weight onto me what makes it impossible for me to do so. His hands grab my wrists, pinning them down and his eyes darken. So I stay down, sighing out. "I just.. you are right, I did not finish."
