I promise (book one)

Chapter 42~ Everything

(Hermione)

I watched Astoria open the door quickly and hide behind it, as Draco sped through the door running to me. His arms wrapped around me and held me to his bed tightly.

Just as fast the door was opened, it now held closed probably locked by Astoria.

Draco's strong sent invaded my senses, working almost like a calming but enticing energy. It was something like, spearmint, and cut grass. There was something else, something I could not name. Books.

He seemed to be everything beautiful all at once.

So I let myself become swept with him.

His face seemed to find its way to the crook of my neck; he began pressing hot kisses to me, breath tickling me a bit. As if natural I leaned my head outwards giving him more room to do as he pleased.

I felt his warm tongue on my skin,then soft nipping as he pulled my skin a bit. I gave a sigh which he took as a prize and began again.

My hands found their way to his shirt and slipped under to feel his cold skin that was slowly heating up. It was as if a fire had been light inside of me, I had never known was there.

Just as I moved my hands I could feel his shirt buttons opening one by one, I hadn't seen him shirtless before. Maybe I have, maybe the reason why this feels so right is because it is not the first time we do this.

I gave in everything, and I gave every part of me to a man I do not know, but I do not regret any moment of it.

Because this man held me in his arms, cradled me tightly, and moaned my name with not lust in his eyes but love.

This is the man I want to spend my time with. Because I will not be forced to follow in his shadow, and he would not follow in mine. We are equals, in this bed and in our lives.

I awoke then next morning wrapped tightly in cool skin that refused to let me go. I was barren of all clothing as was he, but I never felt to relaxed and warm in my life. My muscles though sore, I have never felt better.

This can't be the man who hurt me. Not if he could love me so tenderly.

I ran my fingers through his soft hair absent-mindedly. Slowly I saw a smile creep up his face and his eyes come to life.

"Good morning." He said with a grin.

"Morning Draco." I began.

He pulled me close and kissed me softly. I felt myself flush and he simply just laughed.

"Why did you just kiss me?" I said.

"Because I wanted to." He laughed.

"But we just woke up-"

"I don't care. You are still you, and because you are you that means I can kiss you."

"Draco, its too early for confusing words." I sighed.

"I know. " He laughed then kissed my cheek.

I rolled my eyes and stifled a laugh as he stretched a bit. He turned to me and caught me staring at him then smirked. "Come shower with me." I said offering me his hand.

"What?"

"Come shower with me."

"Draco you are bloody mad."

"Maybe, but you are showering with me."

Before I even had time to defend myself I was pulled into his arms, stark naked, and was being carried off to the bathroom.
