The Fractured Flame | Draco Malfoy Love Story

Chapter Forty One: The Morning After

His eyes flashed in another warning, "Just as I never would have guessed you have a praise kink."

"I do not." The words left her mouth immediately following, "I'm lying."

Draco laughed at the blush forming on her face, "Don't worry love. I intend to spend the rest of our lives finding out what kinks you have."

Hermione felt her heart beat faster, noticing that his face for once held no secrets. He looked at her openly with all his emotions there for her to see. "When you say the rest of our lives..."

Draco nodded, another smug smile on his face. "I'm going to marry you one day, Hermione Granger. There's not a doubt in my mind about that."

"Is that supposed to be a proposal?" Her voice turned incredulous, feeling him hitch her leg over his waist.

He winked, "Give me some time to plan, and then I'll give you a proper one. For now, rest. Because I plan to wake you up with another orgasm."

The Morning After

It was early afternoon by the time they both made it out of bed, showered, and were in the midst of making lunch at Hermione's apartment. Draco wore a pair of suit trousers that Cadskey dropped off and they were hanging low on his hips; making her mouth water. It was insatiable the amount of times they'd had each other already.

She woke up to them spooning. Draco didn't hesitate in the slightest, lifting her leg to start another love making session. Then there was the bathroom counter and then another time in the shower. He had a few marks on his chest and his back was slightly red with scratches. Easily curable with an episkey charm or a wiggenweld, but he said he was proud of them. Visible proof he'd made her feel amazing. They both looked properly shagged and she didn't miss his smirk when her legs wobbled getting out of the shower earlier.

Now she was introducing him to bacon sandwiches with lettuce and tomato and crisps on the side.

"Do you need to leave again to have a final talk with Blaise?" Hermione inquired, sitting at the counter with him, "Any chance of him changing his mind about tonight?

He bit into his sandwich, thinking for a moment while his hand rested on her left thigh in a casually possessive manner. Draco shook his head after swallowing, "I've been trying all week. If Astoria and I weren't able to the last few days, then he's made up his mind, and he needs to live with his decision."

"You mentioned earlier that Theo and Blaise were able to find pieces of the relic to put it back together with the Elder wand. What if he's unable to? That doesn't sound like an easy task; recreating a Dark Artifact." Hermione pointed out, popping a crisp into her mouth.

The salty tang and the savory flavor of the bacon was a heavenly combination. It seemed that Draco was quite taken with it too since he was about to finish his sandwich in the time it took her to work through half of one.

"I'm counting on it not working and Potter can let him go with smaller charges."

"Draco, stealing the Elder Wand isn't a small charge." Her brows furrowed together, "He's guaranteed a one way trip to Azkaban, no?"

He was silent.

"Draco..."

She was met with more silence.
