Suffering Part 6: No Longer

Chapter 5

It had been ages since you last visited Spinners End, the small, cozy house that once held so many memories. The house had become a bit cramped for your growing family, but today was a special day.

Severus had planned a nostalgic outing just for the two of you, back to the lake near the house where so many of your fondest memories were made.

As you strolled hand-in-hand through the thick forest, you couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and nostalgia. 

The day was perfect, with the sun shining brightly and a gentle breeze rustling through the trees. Severus had packed a picnic, and you carried a small bag to collect rocks for your ever-growing collection.

"Remember how we used to walk here almost every afternoon?" you said, smiling up at Severus.

He nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "I do. It feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?"

"It does," you agreed. "But it's nice to come back and relive those memories."

When you reached the lake, the sight of it took your breath away. The water was calm and clear, reflecting the blue sky above. The trees surrounding it had grown taller, but the place still felt like your own little haven.

You reminisced about all the important spots. The big rock he fucked you against, the spot beside the water where you got married.

You remember it like it was yesterday, the first time he took you there and gave you his mother's green onyx ring, which you still wore unless you were poorly trying to make a point.

Severus spread out a blanket on the grassy shore and began unpacking the picnic. He had thought of everything, from your favorite sandwiches to a bottle of chilled wine. As you settled down, you couldn't help but feel a rush of affection for the man beside you.

"Look what I found," you said, holding up a smooth, flat stone. "Perfect for skipping."

Severus chuckled. "You always did have a knack for finding the best ones."

You stood at the water's edge and expertly skipped the stone across the lake, watching as it bounced along the surface before sinking.

Severus joined you, his stone skipping even further. You both laughed, the sound echoing around the serene lake.

After a while, you returned to the blanket, sitting close to Severus as you enjoyed the picnic. The food was delicious, but the company was even better. You leaned back against him, feeling his strong arms wrap around you.

"This place holds so many memories," you murmured, looking out over the lake. "Do you remember the first time we made love here?"

Severus's hand gently caressed your arm. "How could I forget?"

You turned to look at him, your eyes filled with affection. "Sometimes it feels like a million years ago."

He smiled, his eyes darkening with a mix of nostalgia and desire. "It does but I wouldn't trade what we have today for anything. Come to Daddy," he whispered.

You leaned in, capturing his lips in a soft, lingering kiss. His hands moved to your waist, pulling you closer as the kiss deepened. The world around you seemed to disappear, leaving just the two of you in that moment.

When you finally pulled back, you were both breathless. "I've missed this," you admitted, your voice barely above a whisper.

Severus brushed a strand of hair from your face. "So have I, my love."

You lay back on the blanket, pulling him down with you. "Remember how we used to make love right under the stars?" you asked, your voice playful and flirtatious.
