Draco doesn't even notice I'm standing there until he turns around to face me after he had been examining the necklace he found on the floor. He's holding the necklace out as he turns around his eyes meeting mine.
His eyes widen as we make eye contact and he looks me up and down, reminding me that all I have covering me is a white towel. I feel a chill run through my body as he stares at me with his mouth slightly open.
From where I'm standing I can tell that he's holding my necklace as light bounces off of the silver rose and dagger charms dangling from the tight linked silver chain. As the glare bounces off of the pendants into my face, I'm reminded as to why I'm here in the first place. I hurry over to him and snatch the necklace out of his hand and turn to hurry back to the girls' dorms when he grabs my wrist.
Taken aback by his sudden movement and cold hands, I fumble with my towel, almost dropping it. He realizes what he just did and pulls his hand back to rub the back of his neck. I scowl at him as I adjust the towel wrapping it tightly around my body.
"Are you done," I say sternly.
"What the hell are you doing out here in just a towel, are you mad?"
"I was going to take a shower when I realized I lost my necklace."
"You should've thrown some clothes on, were you not paying attention to when Pansy and I were explaining the rules, or were you too busy with Adrian," he snarls with a new look I haven't seen before.
"You can't blame me for not wanting to listen to your voice droning on and on about rules," I scoff.
"Do you know who you're talking to?"
"Yeah a fucking dumbass," I say and just as I'm about to turn around to walk away, he stops me by putting his hand around the back of my neck bringing me closer to him. I can smell his cologne and minty breathe all over again, his cold hands on my bare skin send chills down my spine.
"I'd stop talking to me like that if I were you," he says slowly, trying to keep his calm.
"Or what, you'll run off and tell daddy?" I mock him with a pout.
He pushes me against the wall behind me, being rough but gentle with it at the same time. He uses his free hand to tuck the loose hairs framing my face behind my ear. He brings his mouth close to my ear and whispers, "you don't even want to know the beginning of what I'd do to you." His warm breathe against my cold skin sends even more chills throughout my body. My breathing starts to get faster and I feel as though my heart is going to beat out of my chest.
Since I had tucked my towel in over itself so that it wouldn't slip after the close call just minutes before, I use my left hand to grab and push up on his hand that is still wrapped around my throat. Taking him by surprise, it comes off smoothly and I grab his wrist and pull it down to his side as I use my free hand to flip and push him up against the wall.
It's my turn to whisper something in his ear and so I lean in and say, "try me, Malfoy."
Everything happened so fast so he takes a couple seconds to realize what just happened but while he does that I turn on my heel and quickly make my way up the stairs and back to the girl's dorms to take my shower.
