Dangerous Illusion

Chapter Twenty

Harry woke to the softness of a few rays of sunlight hitting his face. Draco must've forgotten to close the balcony door before crawling into bed with the dark-haired Omega. Harry couldn't be mad at the Alpha though; this was their first time sleeping in the same bed for over a month. Not that the Omega would ever admit it, but he hadn't slept this well since they returned to Hogwarts when he found out about Draco's true identity. Harry took in a deep breath enjoying the woodsy scent with a slight minty undertone; Draco's natural scent was intoxicating. The Omega couldn't help but wish that when they claimed each other not a lot of his own scent would mix with the silvery-blond Alpha's. The Omega didn't know how well the sweet stench of caramel and the salty scent of a beach would mix with Draco's. Finally harry heaved his eyelids open and was surprised to find his head rested on Draco's bare chest. The Alpha's pale skin was so clear and gorgeous in the early morning light Harry couldn't help but to blush. Draco's skin was so soft as well and the Lycanthrope also seemed to radiate an unyielding heat source that caused the Omega to hum in content. He was glad he didn't have to shiver up into the thick duvet that pooled at his waist for warmth on this Winter morning. His blond Alpha was all the extra heat he'd ever need and oh it sure was delightful. Harry broke away from that thought when he heard a soft snore escape from Draco, the Omega smiled at the sound. Harry lifted his green gaze up to stare at Draco's sleeping face. The way the soft morning light caught his almost silver hair really just sold the fact that this man was perfect in every way possible. Not to mention how relaxed his face looked, it'd been so long since Draco had been able to relax fully at school and it felt amazing to Harry to see that look on his Alpha's face again. Turning his gaze down onto Draco's lips, Harry had to fight the urge to lean up on his elbows to press a chaste kiss onto them. The Omega could just stay here all day and if given the option he just might do it. They had two more days to prepare for the upcoming Winter Solstice Ball so it couldn't hurt if they had one day just to themselves. Harry could at least dream, couldn't he? Finally, Harry lost the battle within his mind about kissing his Alpha, so he shifted slowly to lean up on his elbows. Harry reached for his glasses from the nightstand to his left and slipped them on his face before turning back towards the sleeping Alpha. Harry shifted all of his weight onto one elbow and used his other hand to gently run his fingers through Draco's soft silvery tresses. The Alpha shifted softly in his sleep almost as if he was leaning into the Omega's touch; it made Harry's chest tighten in so many ways describable. He tried his best to move slow enough and with the right amount of gentleness to his touch to not wake him up. Harry moved his hand out of Draco's hair to run the back of his hand slowly down the Alpha's cheek. Harry paused his movements when he felt Draco's cheek twitch twice under his hand, the Omega held his breath as if it would help the Alpha stay asleep. The muscles in the blond's face eased and went slack seconds later and Harry sighed out. That was too close of a call but even the fear of waking his Alpha couldn't stop his hand from moving down to the corner of Draco's mouth. The Omega's hand stalled for a second before me moved to trace his thumb over the Alpha's slightly chapped bottom lip. Harry's face flushed slightly as he moved his hand to gently cup the side of Draco's face and leaned down closer to his Alpha's lips but hesitated mere inches away. Harry paused to take mental picture of how perfect this moment was and a note to thank Lune when he finally got the chance to talk to the Lunar God. The Omega finally closed the distance between their faces and pressed their lips together gently. That was the worst mistake in Harry's life. Draco laughed softly against Harry's lips and the Omega pulled back quickly as his face flushed darker with embarrassment. Surprised green eyes met teasing grey ones as Harry moved to hide his blush behind his hand.

"Someone seems eager." Draco's teasingly snide comment made Harry's blush darken and him to throw a half-determined punch to the Alpha's chest. Draco faked a pained groan and moved his hand to rub at the spot he was struck. "You shouldn't be so quick to attack someone who could overpower you easily." The Alpha's voice was mocking as he sent Harry a wink. The Omega growled as Draco moved to sit up and the Alpha flashed his teeth in a fake sneer. "Good morning love."
