Shade (A Severus Snape Fanfiction)

|chapter eleven|

Kathryn's POV

The first thing I thought when waking up was that I felt uncommonly warm. I slowly opened my eyes, still disoriented from sleep. I was in Severus' bedroom, on my side and facing the wall. Severus was pressed against me, his arm wrapped tightly around my body hugging me close as he lightly snored against my hair.

I held back a chuckle as I the thought hit me that Severus Snape was a cuddler. I thought back to the night before, my cheeks turning red as I remembered the way he had fucked me, and then made love to me, and fucked me again. My body was deliciously sore and covered in love bites.

It had surprised me that Severus had been so.. forward during sex, so vocal. Not that I was complaining. I had really enjoyed the dirty things he said.

The last thing I wanted to do was leave his warm embrace, but my bladder was painfully full and I desperate needed a shower. I slowly eased out of his hold, being extra careful not to wake him. He stirred for a moment, but he didn't wake up. After a little searching, I found the bathroom and finally relieved myself before turning on the shower, waiting for the water to heat up as I searched for a towel, which I found in a cabinet. I placed it on the countertop before stepping into the steaming water with a sigh of contentment.

I wet my hair and reached for the bottle of shampoo, smiling to myself as I took a moment to smell it. I continued to smile like an idiot through the remainder of my shower. Once I finished, I stepped out and wrapped the towel around my body and silently went back to Severus' room in search of something to wear.

He was just as I left him, and I resisted the urge to climb back in bed with him. I tiptoed to the dresser, finding a drawer of black t-shirts after opening a couple. I flung it over my arm and tiptoed my way back to the hallway. I returned to the bathroom and pulled on Severus' shirt  and raked my fingers through my wet hair in attempt to untangle it.

I wished like crazy that I had a toothbrush but settled for a swig of mouthwash from the bottle on the countertop. I went to the kitchen next and made myself a glass of water. Just as I raised the glass to my lips, a strong set of arms wrapped around me from behind.

"I could get used to this sight," he murmured against my damp hair which he moved over to one side before placing a kiss on my shoulder blade, making me smile.

"I hope you don't mind that I borrowed a shirt."

"Not at all. In fact, I quite like it," he whispered against my ear before gently nipping at it. He rolled his hips against my backside, his erection standing proudly to attention in his briefs. I placed the glass on the counter and turned to face him. He wore a shirt like the one I had on and underwear, his hair still messy from last night's activities. I wasted no time and stood on my tiptoes, wrapping my arms around his neck as I pulled him into a kiss, moaning softly as our tounges fought for dominance.

He lifted me suddenly and deposited me on the counter, nearly knocking over the glass of water I had left there. I wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling him in as close as possible as his lips began to assault my neck in hot, wet kisses. I hooked my fingers into the band on his underwear and had just began to tug them down when a knock sounded at the door.

Severus froze, his dark eyes looking into mine worriedly. "Go to the bedroom and hide. Stay quiet," he ordered. He used to his wand to summon his clothes as I started for bedroom. "Just a minute," he called, his voice filled with annoyance.

I rushed for the bedroom, but halted to a stop when I remembered my wand and coat still thrown on the floor in Severus' study. Severus had already opened the door though and was speaking to someone, but I couldn't make out what he was saying.
