Ooooooooo, Severus/Bellatrix?
Pretty, pretty, pretty please? You can make it as deliciously dark as you like. :)
Of course the characters aren't mine! But I'm eternally grateful that I get to borrow them. Not Beta'd (like usual) excuse the mistakes.
Dark Torment
It was pitch black when he awoke. The Dark Lord had punished him unmercifully for his indiscretions. Getting close to the Granger girl, caring for her, had been reason enough to be Crucio'd to unconsciousness.
Now he was lying naked on a cold cement floor stripped of his garments by unseen hands. Voldemort had left him alive. Only to be tortured. Death would be to easy a penalty for his betrayal.
Footsteps echoed as a small flicker of light approached. White skin glistened and wild eyes raked over his naked form. His torturer had arrived… in the form of Bellatrix LeStrange.
