Chapter 4:

"Hello, Beautiful"

When I didn't move Draco grabbed my forearms and leaned down to kiss me. I hastily turned my head to the side, his full lips his lips making contact with my cheek instead of his intended target. He pulled away, a smile tugging at his lips. His eyes burnt into mine until my head dropped, my fingers fiddling with the strap of my bag.

"Come on"

I reluctantly stepped outside, turning to close the door and lock it. I had only just place the keys in my bag before Draco entwined his fingers with mine. His large hand was warm, If I hadn't been so frightened of him the gesture would have comforted me. We crossed the road and ended up under the same street lamp he watched me from.

"Don't look so nervous, 'Mione"

I noticed his strong forearm and the top of some tattoo, but my eyes were soon diverted from it when his strong arm wrapped around my shoulder, I looked into his stormy gray eyes making a smile flit onto his face.

"A-are we Apparating?" I asked nervously. He nodded, winked and all too soon I felt the familiar jerking sensation behind my navel and then we were standing in the middle of Diagon Ally.

"Were here"

I nodded and tugged my jacket tighter around my body as the wind whipped around us. I was pulled under Draco's strong arm again as he guided me through the crowded streets. We continued to walk along the cobble stoned streets, stopping outside of a small restaurant. Draco removed his arm from my shoulder and spun me around roughly. I gasped as his fingers pushed my hair from my shoulder, his mouth holding a smirk. His lips brushing the mark that was still fading from my neck.

"Maybe I should give you another one, So people know your mine" His raspy voice whispered.

"No"

I began to back away but he caught my forearm, tugging me into him.

"Maybe later" He smiled.

***

Draco gave the man at the front desk his name and, after the man stared wide eyed from me to Draco and back again, we were lead towards the back. I had a terrible feeling Draco asked for the most secluded area of the small restaurant. I sat opposite Draco, taking my jacket off and hanging it on the back of the chair. The waitress handed us our menus then our drink orders before hurrying to another table.

Draco scanned over the list of meals offered, not looking as I bent down and pulled my phone from where it was stored in my bag. I held the menu up, hiding myself while I opened the text.

From Katie:

How's it going? Are you alright? XX

I was about to reply when my shield was taken away. I shoved my phone back to it's original place before looking up and meeting Draco's hard gaze. He decided not to mention my phone and asked what I would like instead.

"I'm not hungry" I blurted.

"Pick or I'll do it for you" His tone held a hint of annoyance.

I stayed silent as he called the waitress over. Her ponytail swayed as she hurried quickly to our table and jotted down our orders.

"Anything else?" She asked politely.

Her eyes hesitantly landing on Draco's before she quickly diverted her attention to me. I could tell she felt on edge around him. She gave me a sympathetic look, almost as if she knew I was being held here against my will.

"No, Thank you" I smiled.

Then we were left alone. Draco tilted his head to the side, eyes locking on my face.

"Do I scare you?"

I was about to reply 'No I fought the Dark Lord', but I stopped myself; I didn't want to relive that. My silence was all the confirmation I needed. He showed off his dimples as he smiled at me. Draco's hand was about to reach across the table when the waitress returned with our drinks clutched in her hands. I thanked her for the water, mentally praising her for the interruption. All to soon she was gone again and I was left with Draco. I felt uncomfortable as his Mercury eyes stared at me from the other side of the table.

"Has anyone ever touched you before?"

"W-what?" I replied in confusion.

He didn't say anything but I gasped upon feeling a hand on my knee under the table. He chuckled at the reaction before swiftly getting up from his spot and sitting to the right of me. His hand immediately went back to my leg. My breath hitched in my throat as his hand slid up my thigh, my body was frozen. Draco intently watched as my chest rose and fell. I thanked Merlin I didn't decide to wear a dress, who knows where his hand would haven ended up. When his fingers skimmed my crotch I shot out of my seat,my chair screeching across the floor as it was slid backwards.

"I've got to use the bathroom" I gushed.

"Don't be too long" Draco called behind me, laughing as I rushed away.
