Delusion (A Severus Snape love story/Harry Potter fanfiction)

Chapter Forty - As We Always Dreamed

Chapter Forty

Melody closed her eyes, feeling the ground reappear beneath her feet as their lips broke apart. She pressed her forehead against his, noses brushing as his warm, shaking breath grazed her cheek. She shivered as Snape's cold, frozen fingers stroked her jawline gently and slowly fluttered open her eyes.

"Don't." She pressed her finger to his lips when he went to speak, other hand tracing the creases of his robe as he frowned. She pouted slightly, eyes focused on the top button of his shirt as she fiddled with a loose thread coiling from the centre. "I don't want to go over it... please." She glanced up, eyes filling as he stroked her nose with a thin, elegant finger.

She sighed, leaning into the embrace as his lips pressed against hers tenderly, tasting faintly of peppermint toothpaste. Their mouths worked in sync as her fingers curled through his hair, smoothing out the knots as his hand slipped around her waist.

Melody couldn't help but smile as his kisses became stronger, more desperate. Their tongues collided as his fingers crawled upon her leg, finding their way beneath her dress and fingering the lace of her underwear. A small growl rose in his throat and she shivered, breathing becoming ragged as his lips trailed from hers, eager kisses pressed down her neck as he tasted the perfume staining her skin.

She moaned as he kissed her harder still, hands warm against her cold skin as his fingertips brushed her hips, slowly tugging at the top of her underwear. His mouth made contact with her chest and she groaned, fingers scraping his scalp as she dragged him tighter to her. She shifted her leg, hoisting herself partially onto him as her arms wrapped around his neck, lipstick printing across his jaw line as her teeth grazed the surface, lips tingling as the stubble brushed the flesh.

Snape growled once more as she nibbled on his earlobe, warm, sweet breath tickling his ear as her tongue brushed it gently, sending him into a frenzy as his body ignited with a desperate yearning. He pushed her back until she hit a wall with a small moan, Melody hastily slipping his buttons through the holes before abandoning the shirt all together with a smug flourish as he smirked, pulling his lips away and pressing his forehead against hers.

"Melody," He breathed as she raised a perfectly manicured eyebrow, finger tracing his jaw as she pressed her other hand against his bare chest.

"Did you miss this?" She interupted, sliding her hands across his bare torso as her lips brushed his collar bone, shivers fizzling up his spine as he growled huskily.

"Do you even need to ask." He growled as she giggled, hoisted around his waist as he pushed her harder into the wall, mouth colliding hungrily with hers as she gripped his chin, tugging his face closer still so his warmth heated her cold body.

She mewed with pleasure as his warm fingertips stroked her shoulders, hands working to slowly slide the straps of her dress down until they brushed her wrists. Gently, his mouth began to caress the revealed skin, peeling her dress back further still as she giggled with his hot breath against her skin.

Suddenly, she cupped his chin in her hand, dragging his nose up to brush hers as she smirked slyly, tutting when he tried to kiss her again, small frown peppering his features and creasing his forehead.

"Impatient man, aren't you." She purred, giggling when he burried his head into the crook of her neck, planting kisses on the tender skin beneath, causing goosebumps to errupt across her skin. "Can't even wait until we're inside before undressing me..."

"You're one to talk, Miss Weasley. If I didn't know you better then I'd think you were trying to lure me into your bed."

"Whatever gave you that idea?" She whispered, pulling herself out of his grip as his eyes ran the whole length of her body. He snarled and she smirked, stepping slowly backwards until she hit the front door of the Burrow. "And besides, you and I both know I don't need to lure you to my bed..." The door clicked softly and she sank inside, bolting to the stairs and giggling when Snape's fingers brushed her skin.
