After dinner, Dobby had been kind enough to serve hot cocoa along with warm nourishment to contrast the cold weather outside. I carried the cocoa with me as Abraxas and I retired to the library. Slowly, I pulled the mug of deliciousness away from my mouth and stared at Abraxas. Compared to the first time I saw the man, he was quite changed already. He now wore a soft smile, and held himself in a humble manner rather than being harsh and pretentious.

I straightened my posture and moved closely to the man. Again, I drank from the mug and looked up to the man as I swallowed. Sighing, he leaned down to kiss away the milk that rested upon my upper lip. Placing the mug on a floating silver tray, I kissed him back and grabbed his hand. Gracefully, we walked towards his bedchamber, taking in the ornate décor of the manor.

We disrobed each other between kisses, and made our way to the grand four-poster. Straddling the man, I began showering him with little affections from my lips. Our naked bodies moved comfortably against one another. Rhythmically, I began to swivel my hips while sitting in his lap. Like a slow growing fire in a cold, stone hearth, the heat we created kept the winter chills at bay. The man watched me in ecstasy as I rocked and rolled his firm flesh into me. Between my sighs and his moans, our breathing became heavy, but I did not stop until I was satisfied.

A burning sensation scraped its way down my thighs and I looked to see Abraxas' fingers digging into my skin. My smile broke into a wicked grin. In an instant, I had pinned the man's hands above his head. With force, I bit Abraxas' neck and sucked till deep purple welts and bruises blotched his skin like a spotted snake's scales. His shocked gasps soon became sensuous breaths and he begged me continue the rough play. It had been a long time since anyone begged the way he did. I expected Lucius to beg, but his father, never. The most tremendous smile lifted my face and I dragged my nails down his back and set them into his smooth rump.

"Let's play a game." He suggested.

A smirk lit my face as he suggested a dominatrix act. Since we were both in agreement, I acquiesced and stepped into the dominant mindset that often times stole me. Dismounting the man, I took up my wand, flipped his body with a wave of the birch, and constrained him to his own bed with my signature, black, snake ropes. Abraxas looked at me with intrigue and excitement as I approached him slowly. "What is it that you want?"

"You," he replied. With one forceful movement of my wand, I conjured a soft leather whip. A downward drive, and the black whip thrashed the man's backside. His cry of pain smoothed into a moan of pleasure as I ran my cold fingers over his flesh that burned bright red.

"That is no way to speak to a lady." I chided and allowed my fingers to skitter up the man's spine. The pale body curved from my chilling touch. "If you beg, you must address me appropriately. I am your empress, now."

"Yes, Empress."

"Good." I smirked at the man's response. "Now tell me, how bad have you been?"

"Not nearly as horrid as I could be." Abraxas glanced sideways at me with a conniving fire in his brown eyes.

Titling my head, I arched an eyebrow and gave the man a swift whip across his backside.

"Empress." He hissed and I kissed where a red welt began to form from my last strike.

"I am under the impression that your son is more wicked than you; although, I have struck his soft spot several times." My chuckle caused Abraxas to fight against his bonds in protest.

"What have you done to Lucius?!"

With a thud, my foot pushed the man back down onto his bed. I stood over him and played with the whip tails that extended from my wand. Chiding Abraxas, I cooed, "Oh, it's not what I've done to him; I think you may want to know what he has done to me." My dark eyes narrowed and a wicked grin passed my face upon seeing his astonished countenance. "Your son sure knows how to get what he wants, oh yes; and he is ever so persistent."

"Why are you telling me this?" Abraxas pressed his face into the pillows before him.

"You asked." I replied and moved his long hair off his neck and shoulders with my foot. Tracing my whip down his arm, I placed my wand on the nearby bed stand and sat on the middle of his back.

"Is this part of the game?"

"What game?"

"Maven."

"Empress." I corrected.

He shook his head with a sigh. "I can't tell if that was part of the game or not."

"No matter." I shrugged.

"It does matter. It matters a whole lot to me."

"What is it that you really want?" The question I asked was accompanied by my hands stroking his bare sides. Tracing his spine with my tongue, I began biting his shoulder muscles.

"Love, Empress." The man's simple reply was despondent as he quietly admitted his secret.

I held no pity for the man I caressed. "That is something the Empress is incapable of giving, but pleasure is my forte." Carefully, I picked up my wand and vanished the black ropes into diamond dust. I ended the act, but the truth that still radiated in my words were put in question again.

"Maven."

"Yes?"

"What you said about Lucius."

"Oh," I laughed, "the silly boy fancies me."

"I can't say that I'm surprised." He chuckled. "Why do you continue to say you're incapable of love?" Underneath me, Abraxas rolled over to face me.

"All the heartbreak I've experienced." I clenched my jaw. "I sensed that you knew that though, so why did you ask?"

"You blame yourself for others hurting you?"

"I was foolish enough to not recognize when I was being hurt."

"Maybe you thought you deserved to be emotionally punished."

"After all I've done, don't I?"

"Not at all, dear heart." He gave me a gentle smile.

"I'm not a good person."

"I was hoping there would be some shred of goodness in you Riddles." The dry humor was his way of telling me he refused to believe me. "Even if you chose not to marry me now, I will always regret not marrying you."

I kissed him and he felt the regret I held for many things.

"Could we still be friends, Maven Riddle?"

"Friendship is possible." I smiled; glad to come to some sort of agreement with Abraxas.
