Here it comes, Mary thought. Now he's going to tell me that I have to leave now. That the danger is now over, and we have to go back to the way things were before the troll had entered the castle.

"I know", Mary sighed, trying to stop the tears escaping from her eyes. "I'm not supposed to be here. The deal's still on, you just got scared because of the troll. I'll be leaving now."

Mary stared at her toes, failing miserably at the task of not crying in front of Severus. The weeks without Severus had been torture, it was true. But somehow, being able to spend just a few minutes with Severus like they used to do, was even worse. Because now she had to leave again. Leave, with a fresh memory of how it felt to be near Severus. To be seen by Severus. To be spoken to by Severus. To be touched by Severus.

"Fuck the deal."

In bewilderment, Mary turned her dark green eyes to Severus, a couple of tears hanging on the edge of her eyes. Softly, Severus placed the palm of his hand on Mary cheek and wiped those tears away with his thumb.

"Didn't you hear me before?" he spoke softly, looking into Mary's eyes with a new kind of affection. A kind of affection Mary had never seen in anyone's eyes. Or had she? Had she seen an identical affection in someone's eyes? In eyes similar to Severus'? Even if she had, she couldn't remember whose eyes they were.

"I'm never letting you go", Severus whispered. Carefully, he leaned closer, placing his soft lips on Mary's.

The sensation of Severus' lips touching Mary's sent electric shocks all over her body. Those lips, so soft and so familiar. Lips, she thought she would never again feel on hers.

With a soft grunt, Severus pressed harder into the kiss, his hands slowly sliding down Mary's back, finding their way to her hips. Gently, he pushed Mary's back onto the soft surface of the sofa whilst sliding his hand up Mary's side. After a while, he pulled away from the kiss and rested his body on his elbows, looking at Mary with a soft yet sorrowful look on his face.

"I thought I'd lost you", Severus confessed, a sparkle of fear lighting up in his eyes. With a soft smile on her lips, Mary wrapped her arms around Severus' neck.

"Getting rid of me isn't that easy", she smirked, causing Severus' body to jerk with laughter.

"Really?" the raven-haired man questioned with a raised eyebrow. Not waiting for Mary's answer, he leaned into another kiss, this time more forcefully. Eagerly, Mary parted her lips, allowing Severus' tongue to enter her mouth. As Severus' tongue explored Mary's mouth, his hips began slowly pressing against Mary's body, causing a soft moan to escape Mary's lips.

"You naughty girl", Severus purred into Mary's ear, gently biting her earlobe. If Severus had planned that bite to be a punishment for moaning in such a way, he had failed miserably. The sensation of his teeth softly nibbling her skin made Mary's head spin. Unable to control herself, another, much louder, moan fled her lips.

Chuckling, Severus lifted his head so that he could look into Mary's eyes. An amused sparkle glittered in his dark eyes as his lips formed a loving, yet teasing smirk.

"You have a thing for that, don't you?" he murmured as he watched the effect of his actions had caused on Mary's body. The look in Severus' eyes made an embarrassed blush climb on Mary's cheek as she shyly looked into his eyes.

"I- I guess I do", Mary confessed, trying to cover her eyes with her hands. Her hands, however, were stopped by Severus, who grabbed them, making it harder for Mary to avoid his eyes. To Mary's surprise, the look in Severus' eyes had changed. The sly and lustful look had been replaced with a mixture of surprise and concern.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked. His voice had taken a more serious tone.

Blushing vigorously, Mary tried to avoid Severus' eyes.

"I mean... I guess... I've never really...", Mary stuttered as she struggled to speak, trying to cover her face so that she wouldn't have to look at Severus.

Quickly, Severus pulled away, sitting on the sofa with a shocked look on his face.

"Shit", he muttered, combing his fingers through his hair in an attempt to calm himself down. "I'm sorry, Mary."

Confused, Mary removed her hands from her face and looked at Severus, unsure of what was going on.

"What for?" she asked from Severus, who was now looking at Mary with an apologising smile on his lips.

"It seems that I indeed do sometimes forget the difference between our ages", he mumbled. "For some reason I had thought that you had... Well, that you had been with someone."

Another rush on embarrassment shot through Mary's body, making her blush even harder than she had been a minute ago.

"Is that a bad thing?" Mary asked carefully, biting her bottom lip with a mixture of embarrassment and concern in her eyes.

"No! No, no, not at all", Severus replied quickly, taking Mary's hand back into his. "There's absolutely nothing wrong with that."

Gently, Severus pulled Mary up, a reassuring smile on his lips as he wrapped his arms around Mary's body.

"I just have to keep that in mind when I'm with you, so that you don't get an impression I'm pushing you into something you're not ready for", Severus explained, wiping a strand of hair off Mary's face.

Mary stared at Severus, a newfound emotion taking over in her heart. After a while, Severus' dark eyes turned to Mary's, a warm smile forming on his lips.

"In this relationship, you are the one who determines the phase", he said.

For some unknown reason, those words made Mary feel like she could cry. Not out of sadness, of something else. Something, she was yet unable to comprehend.
