Flying Blind

Chapter 19 Marital Bliss and Heartache

As a wedding gift, Minerva McGonagall informed Draco and Ellenore that they could leave Hogwarts for the remainder of Christmas break, so that they could have a little peace and quiet until the start of next term. On hearing this wonderful news, Ellenore smiled and wrapped one arm around Draco as she held out the other hand for Blinky to apparate them home.

Draco opened his eyes after kissing his wife to find that they were now standing in front of a large manor with well-manicured lawns and fragrant gardens filled with white roses, lilies, and jasmine and honeysuckle vines. The Manor was, indeed, as grand and beautiful as his family home in Yorkshire. He breathed in the sweet scents around him as they walked up the cobbled stone path hand in hand.

“Stop for a second, Elly.” said Draco as they reached the steps that led into the house. Before she knew what was happening, Draco swept her off her feet and carried her over the threshold of their home and refused to put her down once they were inside.

“Draco, darling, you can put me down now.” said Ellenore as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

“No, Mrs. Malfoy, not until we are in the master bedroom.” said Draco in a seductive tone.

“But, Draco, don’t you want a tour of the house first?” she asked as she saw the look in his stormy grey eyes.

“The only thing I want a tour of, my dear wife, is your naked body.” said Draco as he started climbing the grand marble staircase that led up to the second floor. Ellenore blushed crimson as she read his thoughts. “Where’s the bedroom?” asked Draco as he stopped in the middle of the upstairs hallway.

“It’s the big door straight ahead of you at the end of the hall.” said Ellenore as Draco carried her down the hall. Ellenore pulled her wand from her sleeve and pointed it at the bedroom door, which swung open, then shut behind them once they had entered the room. Draco placed her gently on her feet and kissed her tenderly as he kicked off his shoes. He took her wand away from her and placed it on the nightstand as he guided her toward the king sized bed in the centre of the room.

“No, magic, Elly.” he whispered into her ear as he moved around behind her and gently removed her tiara and veil. Ellenore moved to remove her choker and earrings, but was stopped by Draco’s hand on hers. “No, leave those.” he said as he trailed soft kisses from her ear down the side of her jaw and neck.

He began to slowly unbutton the back of her wedding robes as she moved her long hair out of his way. Once all of the buttons were undone, Draco slowly and deliberately moved the dress down her shoulders, gently kissing her skin as he moved. As Draco slowly moved his hands and lips down the path of her wedding robes, Ellenore felt warm and tingly all over. Draco let the dress fall to the ground as he kissed his way back up her body. Ellenore expected him to remove her bra and knickers in the same manner, but he surprised her when he picked her up and carried her to the bed and laid her tenderly in the centre.

“Don’t move.” he said as he removed his clothing and flung it across the room. He climbed onto the bed and lay down beside her. Before Ellenore could speak his name, he placed his finger on her lips to silence her. “Patience my darling, Mrs. Malfoy, you’ve made me wait this long. I intend to take this slowly. By the time I’m done with you, you will wish that you gave into me long before now.” he said as he reached under her back and unclasped her bra. Draco removed her bra and tossed it over his shoulder as he kissed down her collarbone, slowly and tenderly moving his hands over her exposed breasts, making her gasp. As he moved lower down her body, he took one of her nipples into his mouth and moved his tongue around before giving it a gentle suck and nibble. Ellenore let out a soft moan as he simultaneously sucked and teased her breasts, making her nipples rise to hard peaks.
