Bellatrix had always been haunted by her love for the Dark Lord but she had recognised that her master would never return her feelings. B/V
This is another challenge for Lewrah's forum this time it is a sonfic and is exactly 500 words (not including the lyrics. I choose to do Kelly Clarkson's 'May I Have A Kiss'
Bellatrix Black thought she must be haunted. Haunted by a terrible phantom that engulfed her thoughts. It chased her when she sat in the family dining room, while she lay in bed at night, and most of all, when she stared into her master's ruby red eyes.
It haunted her now. She knelt on cold stone and her body felt chilled as she stared at the tall, thin frame of her master. His waxy face contorted into a satisfied expression.
"I am very pleased with your assignment Bella, very pleased. Taking out two of the Ministry's best Aurors on your own. Very impressive."
"Thank you my Lord," Bella replied. Her voice was reverent as she lowered her head in recognition of his words. "But my Lordship deserves nothing less."
"Indeed," her master murmured and his thin lips curled into a smile. "But such loyalty and skill deserves to be rewarded. How shall I reward you then?"
Her traitorous phantom seeped into her mind. Her heartbeat rose to a rapid pace and foolish thoughts dashed to the forefront of her mind:
I just want a kiss
I just want to know what it feels like to touch
Something so pure
Something I'm so sure of
Bellatrix was not a fool, so she never said the words that the phantom in her heart whispered. She realised she could never say them to him.
I'm unworthy
I can see you're above me
The Dark Lord could not love. He could never see her as anything more than a servant, so she never voiced her secret desires. Bella had always assumed that the same process that had caused the loss of his thick dark locks and his face to become waxy and like a monster, had caused the destruction of his humanity.
I see that you're torn
I've got some scars of my own
Seems I want what I know is gonna leave me hungry
But she still loved him.
Over the years she had offers from dozens of pureblood males, but she had to be foolish enough to love the one who could never love her back. So she swore she would just serve him and not let her true thoughts escape.
If I can't have forever
Can I have a kiss
Instead she merely looked at her Lord directly in his beautiful ruby eyes and rejected the words of her phantom.
"I do not need a reward my Lord. There is no greater pleasure than serving you,"
A smile remained on thin lips that she longed would touch her own.
"Stand," he murmured again, and Bella dove to her feet.
"So loyal," the Dark Lord whispered and he took a long, deliberate step closer to her. His long fingers stretched out a little and traced her jaw. Her body shuddered with pleasure and, before she could stop herself, she moved her head closer and savoured his touch.
Don't move
I want to remember you just like this
Don't move
It's only a breath or two between our lips
"You refuse to request the one thing you most desire. Silly girl," the Dark Lord chuckled as he spoke in her ear. "You do not see the thing you most desire is a way to serve your master."
Bella's heart was pounding. The hands at her sides were shacking and before she could even comprehend his words she felt cold lips on her own. She gasped a little but moved her own lips against his.
In a fiery, passionate kiss.
