A/N- This story is basically going to chronicle all the events leading up to Black Ice! Enjoy and review!
All I feel is warmth inside as she smirks devilishly at me. The warmth however, is quickly blocked out as cold runs through my veins at the thought of what the future could now hold. I let out a sigh, but quickly rearrange my face to hide any signs of my worry or guilt.
It can wait. I don't have to tell her yet. She's going to be angry; let's not break the peace yet.
She walks towards me, each elegant step with meaning and perfectly timed. I find myself rooted to the ground as she gets closer. I am transfixed on her beautiful eyes, and I don't even notice when she's right in front of me.
She grabs me by the collar, and pushes me into the wall, kissing me ferociously. "What took you so long? Two days without contact? My my Lucius, I think that equals to two nights in the guest room for you!" Throwing me a challenging look, she starts to strut off.
Before she's out of arms reach, I grab her wrist, pulling her back towards me. I kiss her again with stronger ferocity; I can't help but notice the smirk on her perfect rouge lips. "Now Narcissa, what makes you think you can talk to me like that?" I pull her close to me as roughly as I can without hurting her.
"Let's not make that three nights…" She raises her eyebrow, stepping a pace away from me, before smiling slightly. "And, my dear, I can talk to you however I like because I am…I quote 'your sunshine, your fireball, your love, your soul mate, the one you will protect until your dying day'" She looks triumphant, and moves to stalk off again.
I gulp, 'protect until my dying day' did I really say that? Of course I will try, but recent developments…- no. Stop thinking like that. Once again, I grab her, and when I've got hold of one delicate wrist in my hand I latch onto both, making sure she can't get away this time. "Cissy; play nice, I've missed you…" I bite at her neck, and as I work my way up I tangle my fingers in her hair, tugging on it a little.
"Mm…" She groans, her small nails digging into my scalp. Suddenly she pushes me off, "I am angry at you. But hate sex… sounds good. Especially when you're so vicious today." She winks, and grabs at my hand, but stops mid step. "We make a trip to the bedroom, but you're still not sleeping there tonight. Got it?" She drops my hand and crosses her arms, but I know she knows she's already won.
Neither are you Cissy…Neither are you. I pretend to show defeat, roll my eyes, and let her lead me to our 'holiday'…
I back into the corner as Narcissa comes closer and closer, eyes burning with fury. I knew she wouldn't take this well. "Please don't make this harder than it has to be… I don't have a choice!"
"You said Lucius. You promised! You promised that the Dark Lord would never come before me should this problem arise. You are a pathetic weak excuse for a man." She hisses, right in my face by this point.
I wouldn't do this if I didn't have to. He'll kill her, he'll kill us both. I am weak, I am a coward. I know I am Narcissa, don't remind me. "I know Narcissa. I am. But you have to come, you don't have a choice, just as much as I don't!"
She clenches her jaw, and takes several deep breaths, clearly trying to calm herself. "Lucius Malfoy, you will do something about this now. I will not come with you on your little Death Eater mission. I refuse!" She then attempts a pathetic hit, but her fist ends up meeting the wall. Instead, she grabs her wand and starts shattering anything she can in the room.
I grab her arms, and flip us round so she is now in the corner. "Stop! Listen, it won't be that bad. I promise. I promised to always protect you and I will, you're forever by my side." And I mean it. I wrap my arms around her tiny waist against her struggles, and eventually she stops trying to break away from me and starts raking her fingers through my hair.
"I'm sorry. I'm just scared… you forget the effect those people have on their peers when you haven't been around them in so long, and I know this is going to be such a struggle." She rests her head in the crook of my neck, still breathing a little erratically.
Feeling completely relaxed from her rhythmic touch, all I can do for now is offer her a reassuring kiss, and I do. "Come on Cissy, we really don't have long."
She looks frightened, but still angry. I know its best not to test her tonight. "I love you." I smile slightly, and leave to give her some thinking space.
A/N- So how was that? I just came up with so many ideas after writing Black Ice, and the feedback for it has been really good so I thought why not! Next chapter is going to be Narcissa's POV, on their first night with the Death Eaters. Oh, and upcoming chapters should be reasonably longer.
