The Morning Shower Dilemma

"What are you doing?" Severus asked as Aurora pushed him, her hand somehow scalding him even in spite of the fact that it was much cooler than the warm water that was falling on his body.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" Aurora responded as she managed to maneuver herself under the spray of water, essentially displacing Severus until he was behind her while she tilted her head back, her long, thick, wavy, dark hair quickly becoming wet and losing volume.

"I don't have time-" Severus started to snap in turn, his irritation mounting, especially as another part of his anatomy started to rise to the occasion.

Severus tried very hard not to look down at Aurora's slender, and currently very wet body... somehow the ivory of her skin becoming so much more tempting as it glistened...

Severus shook his head and scowled at the dark head in front of him.

"Neither do I. Which is why I'm sharing your shower... I don't have time to wait for you to finish," Aurora responded as she quickly lathered and washed her hair, he eyes shut.

"Where do you have to be?" Severus scoffed.

It was six in the morning, and Aurora didn't have day classes... he earliest class didn't start until ten at night. Which made their... socializing schedule somewhat difficult.

Aurora was now done with the washing of her long hair and Severus rather found all thoughts petering out as he watched her intently as she proceeded to wash her body.

"I'm supposed to meet Septima over something or other... I'm not sure what as I was half-asleep when she was talking about it yesterday during lunch," Aurora replied with a frown, not even turing to look at him when he placed his hands on her hips to help her keep balance as she bent over to retrieve the soap she'd somehow managed to drop, much to Severus' consternation as he felt her hip brush against his... "You know how Septima is about punctuality... honestly, I don't know how it's possible but I think she's even more anal retentive than you."

Severus didn't respond to this, not really being able to think about Septima Vector while Aurora Sinistra was, as always, proving to be an incredible distraction. And as always, incredibly obtuse about what she was putting him through, even as Severus couldn't help his fingers squeezing almost painfully into Aurora's well-rounded hip.

"You're hurting me, Severus," Aurora snapped as she turned around suddenly and pushed his hand away from her, finally looking up, her mouth opening comically in an O of surprise even as Severus took his hand away from her.

"Really Severus?" Aurora then asked when she recovered, sending a pointed look towards his pelvis before looking at him with a teasing smile.

Severus couldn't help scowling at her.

"Are you done yet?" Severus retorted, not deigning to comment on her question or look.

"I'm sorry, Severus," Aurora stated, though she didn't sound terribly contrite considering he could hear the laughter in her voice. "I could tell Septima I overslept... It really wouldn't be a first," she suggested while tracing her hand on a path down... down... down...

Severus wanted to tell Aurora that while she might be perfectly content to not keep her appointments that he was not- but Aurora was really too tempting, and what sort of man would say not to such a gorgeous witch?

Though, he was unsure whether he'd be able to tolerate Albus' knowing looks... but then it also wouldn't be the first...
