"FASCINATING THE BAT" (+18) *Severus Snape.

CHAPTER 21 🦇

Two weeks had passed since the meeting between Severus and his students, also counting the private meeting with Granger.

He hadn't come back to look for them and they dedicated themselves to being patient.

In this period of time, the three of them, in their own ways, were analyzing and rethinking each shared second and future ideas about this complex relationship.

If there was any.

Severus from the day after his appointment with Granger was struck by a harsh truth. He was starting to develop feelings of attachment towards that chestnut and it scared him. And despite being a mature man, he didn't know how to handle such situations. He was trying to make sense of how this could be happening. He was a cold man and suddenly a sense of well-being and exhilaration was fighting inside him to take control of his actions.

It was crystal clear to him that he only felt it when he looked at The Know-it-all and on occasions he could even swear that not finding her in the same environment where he was, a powerful emptiness weighed on the pit of his stomach at the sight of her absence of her.

And that was very bad.

A silent and cruel threat to him, by his own judgment.

Because what the hell would he do if he fell in love with her?. How would he bear to live without her body and company?,How could he enjoy other women if all he thought about was her skin?.This was the last year of Gryffindor and there he would start her real life. One where he would have no place. He had already lived like this once and he was betraying himself again. No, he again he would not let himself.

He was having a very stressful few days.

He had even considered neglecting Granger and focusing on the sensual redhead. But no matter how much he saw her, the latter, as an easy way out of his needs, which had increased because of the book-eater, she was no longer as attracted to him as at first. and there was the matter of not wanting to create disturbances or misunderstandings between them.

He would have sex with her countless times, that was real, but afterward he knew that it wouldn't be enough to calm the desolation that only Hermione Granger filled with her moans, her scent, her taste, and her heat.

Even the memories of his last passionate encounter with her became torture.He had told her that he was her owner and he even promised to repeat the experience again, but now he wasn't sure he wanted to. He knew that he would get more and more involved.
And luckily in all those days, where he kept his distance from her, and where He only saw them in class, she never let him know if she was wearing the underwear he gave her under her uniform.

He hated being so soft and weak, and realizing that so much painful past that he suffered, was not a good lesson for him and made him sick. Life insisted on wanting to subdue him over and over again and he always survived, to go through another fucking test again.

When he got into this game, he never believed that he would feel anything like... honey. He didn't evenI could give it a suitable name.

On Hermione's part everything was in chaos, she was the same or worse than her mentor.

It wasn't enough for her that at the first strong physical contact with him, she was branded like cattle, metaphorically speaking.

She knew in the first minute after he shared her bed with her that she was more than interested in just sex.

This interest already expanded to every part of that man. Why lie to herself, Severus Tobias Snape was driving her crazy.

And yes, she didn't want to share it anymore, but that was something she couldn't demand, nor prevent it from happening. Because her vying for her attentions against her friend was never going to happen.
