Voldemort stared at her naked back as she slept in the bed beside him. The pale moonlight slipped into through the small space between the curtains, illuminating what little he could see of her face. He couldn't describe the range of emotions ringing through him right now, emotions he prided himself on never having. But it was different with her. She brought out a side of him he forgot he had, a side he probably never had.
She rolled around, her body now facing his and her eyes opened. They stared at him, delving into his soul and he felt so vulnerable under her gaze. If it was anyone else, they would be dead before they could fathom a thought. But he allowed it from her, and he always wondered what she found. She saw something he didn't, but whatever it was, it was enough for her to be in his bed.
He brought her close to him and whispered against her skin, "I don't deserve you."
She sighed against his chest and then placed a kiss to his jaw, "Don't say that. No one but you could ever fill my night."
They fell asleep like that, the moonlight across their faces, their dreams of one another, but both knowing that they would have to go their separate ways come morning: she to her husband, and he to his cause. They were never truly meant to be.
