Written for the livejournal community, dramione_ldws (last drabble writer standing for those who don't know), for Round 8, the anniversary celebration, challenge one. The prompt was "adore and need" with the requirement that it be set post-Hogwarts, epilogue not included. Apparently the story was too cliched according to one of the feedback messages. *shrug* I like the cliches thank you very much.

Feeling a pair of familiar, graceful hands tracing her curves slowly, sensuously, Hermione closed her eyes briefly, wanting to savour the moment. Her husband was always affectionate in this way: touching her, kissing her sensitive areas, or simply staring into her eyes or roaming his gray eyes over her body. What she found affectionate, her oldest friends found possessive.
Draco scoffed at the word, though he never truly denied it. Hermione was his one true beauty that he never believed would accept him. After six years together – three married – and hundreds of nights outwardly showing their love, Draco knew that his wife was the only woman who could make him feel like a real man. He felt both powerful with her words of praise and sweet caresses, and also reeled in by her beauty, charm, and sharp tongue.
Turning around, Hermione's cinnamon colored eyes gazed into her husband's gray orbs with a loving affection only they could understand. Draco wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close, but was stopped by her growing baby bump. They shared a soft laugh, and he slowly rubbed her stomach, soothing their six-month old baby growing within. Resting her head on her husband's chest, Hermione knew their child was enjoying the feeling of Draco's hands soothing his – or her – mother's stomach as well.
Read and review please!
