"Mione, wait," Ron yelled as he chased after Hermione.

The brunette stopped and spun on her heel to glare at him. "What Ron," she snapped as her eyes narrowed at him.

Ron ran a hand through his ginger hair, looking quite abashed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ruin that moment back there, I just. Well, it was bloody unexpected is all," he stated uneasily.

She wanted to stay angry at him, Merlin knows she did, but he was one of her best mates and she couldn't stay angry at him. "I know, Ron," she replied gently. "I don't think Severus had planned on it either, I know I sure didn't," she added with a blush. She really wanted to see Severus though, to see if he had once again regretted on kissing her.

Severus stormed to his dimly lit chambers and poured a glass of firewhiskey. He was angry at himself for once again getting entangled with Hermione and that he was in deeper than he should be with her. The fire in the fireplace danced, making his shadow look like it was dancing itself. He took a long swill from his glass and hissed as it burned going down. His mind was a jumbled mess and he couldn't figure out one coherent thing. He chided himself for her being a student, but corrected himself that she was no longer.

It was the same dance he had every single time he saw her and he hated it. She was a beautiful young woman and he was, for lack of a better term, a monster. He murdered innocent people, lost his best friend to a slurred remark, hated Harry and took his pain out on the boy, he was a horrible man and she deserved better.

As he was about to pour his third glass of firewhiskey, there was a gentle knock on the door adjoining the two rooms. He was going to ignore it, but was defeated and swung open the door for her. The pale light from his room seemed to only amplify her beauty as she stepped into the room and closed the door. "What is it," he asked as he walked over and poured his glass of firewhiskey and handed her one to drink.

Hermione bit her lip as she looked at him, he was so beautiful, especially in the fire light, that it made her ache. "I wanted to see if you regretted kissing me again," she asked as she took the offered drink.

He wanted to say yes, just to get her far away from him, but he couldn't. Instead he turned his back to her and brought his glass to his lips. "No," he replied after a long pull from his drink.

That simple word seemed to give Hermione a jolt and she smiled in spite of herself. She then finished her glass in one go and headed over to him, resting her hand on his shoulder. "Why won't you look at me," she asked softly.

Severus was barely able to control himself mostly sober and he was far from that now. He turned to face her quickly and loomed over her. "Why," he snarled as he began advancing on her, making her back up. Her chocolate eyes grew huge and she nodded as she fell back onto the couch. In a lithe motion, he was straddling her and had her pinned between his body and the couch. His face was mere inches away from hers and his hot breath caressed her face. "Because I can not trust myself around you," he then added as his eyes bore into hers.

Hermione's chest rose and fell in rapid successions as she gazed up at him. She wasn't scared, especially with feeling his hard member pressed against her stomach. "Maybe you don't have to," she breathed as she glanced up at him through her lashes.

He couldn't control his urges any longer and roughly pressed his lips to hers. When she responded in a positive manner, he nipped her bottom lip gently, begging for access. Hermione parted her lips for him in the form of a soft moan, allowing his tongue to slip inside and seek out hers.

Severus gripped the back of the couch, trying to restrain himself from going further than a lustful kiss, however Hermione bucked her hips up against his, making him growl almost inhumanely. "Hermione," he growled against her lips in warning. He was a man usually in check of his urges, but with her doing that, his control was waning.

Hermione gripped his shoulders, urging him to let go into lustful desires. Normally she wasn't such a person, especially since she had only been with Ron once and it was less than spectacular. However, her body was telling her she needed this, she needed him. Her tongue delved deeper into his mouth as their tongues danced and caressed each other in a hungry need.

Unable to control it, Severus groaned into her mouth before pulling away slowly for air. "Woman," he breathed, finally acknowledging that she was in fact a woman. He got up off of her and pulled her up swiftly before yanking her into his arms once more. His lips caressed her neck as the two began slowly undressing each other.

Once all the clothes had been shed, Severus stood, admiring the beauty before him. He however, felt almost shamed since his skin was marred from curses and torture. Hermione reached out and gently caressed one of the scars, making him shudder slightly under her touch. Her brown eyes gazed up at him as she closed the distance between them and kissed him again.

Being as gentle as possible, Severus laid Hermione down on the animal skin rug in front of the fireplace and slowly moved to straddle her. "Are you sure," he asked breathlessly.

Hermione gazed up at him and nodded gently, "I'm sure," she replied softly.

Severus nodded and gently guided himself into her, stopping occasionally to make sure she was okay. She moaned softly and wrapped her legs around him, pushing him in to his full extent, gaining a moan from him as she did so. He admired her beneath him as he made sure to keep his pace slow and steady. Her soft moans and pleas for more were music to his ears and he was determined to give her exactly what she pleaded for.

After hours of passion, Hermione had fallen asleep beside him. He pulled a blanket down from the couch and covered them before gazing softly at her. Never had he thought he could fall for such a beautiful creature, but what's more is, he never thought a beautiful creature could fall for him in return.
