We Can Not Do This.

"Narcissa we cannot do this" Snape hissed as her hand ran down her chest

"He'll never know"

"Narcissa no" he almost pleaded "He is your husband and my friend"

"He is not my husband, to be my husband he must love me and love me he does not"

"He does, he loves you"

"Prove it"

"Maybe you are the one who doesn't love him" he stated trying to ignore her roaming hands

"He neglects me"

"He does his duty, Narcissa stop it! He does his duty to keep you and Draco safe"

"Why are you resisting me?"

"Because I do not believe this is what you truly want" he sighed

"And does that belief hurt you?"

"Yes" he sighed cupping her cheek with his hand "But much less than betraying my friend will"

"But this way you'll also be helping a friend"

"Helping her to forget yes but I don't want to be the one who helps people to forget"

"Go on Severus, tell me who you're saving yourself for"

"I am not saving myself for anyone but this will not help, it will make things more complicated if anything"

"You were always there for me, even when it could have been the end of you… what happened?"

"…I am still here for you but I will not be your play thing"

"When did I say that I did not want this?"

"The fact you said helping a friend kind of gave that impression" he growled

"Severus, do I have to spell it out for you… I. Want. You."

"Narcissa…"

"And you want me. What more matters?"

"Lucius matters"

"He'll never know"

"But I'll know"

"Severus, you have more on your conscience than most, I think sleeping with me would be barely recognizable on the radar" she stated matter of fact tone

"You do not know what I have on my conscience" he growled darkly pulling away from her

"I did not mean to upset you or anger you"

"You did neither" he stated flatly and her hand came up and cupped his cheek

"Severus, I am truly sorry, I did not think, I should not force myself upon you like this, your right I was not thinking, but that doesn't mean that I don't want you, I want what will make you happy, what will make it easier for you, and if I am not that then just tell me and I will leave you alone" this was the Narcissa he loved the open, none death eater self the one he first knew, the one that didn't have to change to survive

"This is the you I like" he smiled slightly

"This is the me I like"

"Give me time and I will come around, but today is not the day"

"Okay my love"

"Must you really call me that?" he grimaced

"You really know how to ruin a moment don't you" she laughed

"Yes" he smirked before leaning down and kissing her, gently at first, then slowly getting more passionate until he split away "Staying away from you is always hard" eyes slightly pained

"Then don't stay away"

"If I did not stay away then you would not be leaving my arms"

"That doesn't sound too bad" she smirked

"Oh, it is utterly terrible" he winked
