A/N: Warning! First chapter does have a sex scene. BUT it is more emotionally descriptive rather than graphic so its not too bad. Thankyou's must go to JKR the genius who created the fictional characters which captivate my imagination so well!!! and also the fantastic fans which urged me to get up this sequel. You are all fantastic!
The sound of the roaring waves trouncing the cliff face was exhilarating.
Draco Malfoy closed his eyes and breathed in the sea salt.
'This is freedom... This. Is. Bliss.' He thought.
Two arms encircled him from behind. They were tender and warm as the figure pressed themselves fully into his back. Draco smiled into the wind as he opened his eyes and gazed out at the vast blue expanse of water in front of him, the sun lazily twinkling off its surface.
Draco turned and stared into two brilliant orbs of russet brown. She smiled cheekily.
"C'mon lets go swimming." She exclaimed and left a small kiss on his lips before turning and fleeing down the grassy knoll shoeless.
Draco grinned and chased after her. Her long chocolate locks and flowing white top fluttered with the breeze in unison, as she carefully weaved her way down onto the isolated beach.
Hermione Granger felt the sand between her toes and flew her arms wide. Grinning towards the sky and twirling in circles. She heard Draco chuckle behind her as he broke onto the beach. Hermione ran towards the water and splashed in the salty waves.
"Hermione you are crazy!" He said as he neared the waters edge.
"Get in here you pompous arse! Worried you'll ruin your expense trousers?" She said slyly.
"Well as a matter of fact yes that is exactly what I'm worried about!" He said haughtily.
Hermione let out an exasperated groan and ran out of the white wash towards him.
She grinned wildly as she leapt onto him sending him stumbling backwards as he caught her in his arms.
"Now you are all wet so I don't see why you can't come in? The water is lovely…" She said cheekily.
Draco looked at the woman in his arms. Stray wet tendrils stuck to her glowing features and he felt the familiar pounding of his heart against his chest. She pulled away and grasped him by the hand pulling him into the water with her.
"Hermione! Hey this is so not fair!" He said as he was being dragged in with a ridiculous grin plastered on his face.
"Oh come on! If you didn't want to come in I'm sure you could over power me Mr. Malfoy and you wouldn't be grinning like a lunatic either!" She yelled over the wind and the waves.
Draco pouted as a wave engulfed him from waist down. Hermione broke into a fit of giggles and Draco couldn't resist joining her. She was contagious.
He took her in his arms amidst their laughter and swiftly brought his lips down to hers. Hermione felt alive at the touch of his soft lips upon hers. She brought a hand up to his pallid face which dripped with the salty water of the ocean.
They sunk shoulder deep into the water as they kissed feverishly, Hermione with her legs wrapped around Draco's waist as he held her in his arms.
Suddenly they felt the watery swell of a wave sweep over them and they were engulfed by its merciless hold. They came up gasping for air as the wave continued past the two lovers and faltered into nothing but white foam on the sandy shore.
Panting, Draco carried Hermione from the water and up onto the sand. Hermione giggled saying she could walk up there herself, but Draco refused to put her down. Hermione gave in and melted into his chest.
He carried her across the soft sand and up the grassy hill which separated Shell Cottage from their secluded beach.
Bill and Fleur were staying with the Weasley's and had offered Draco and Hermione the chance to relax with some peace and quiet in the form of their cottage for the remainder of the summer break.
Draco reached the cottage and fumbled with the door handle as Hermione let out an impatient groan and attempted to slide out of his arms.
"Hermione stop trying to wriggle away!" He said as he walked into the entrance hall.
"It would be so much easier if I just …" She was cut off by Draco.
"I'm trying to be romantic Granger for Merlin's sake!"
"Fine! Oh sweet Prince Charming, sweep me away into your castle chambers and make love to thy sweet helpless fair maiden!" She giggled.
Draco dropped her onto the couch and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Please don't tease me Granger your jokes really are shocking."
Hermione began to blush a little as she looked up into his swirling pools of grey.
"Who said I was joking?" She said shyly.
"Well… weren't you?" He said unsure.
Hermione shook her head no, slowly not losing eye contact with the ashen-haired man in front of her.
Draco felt an overwhelming head spin at the thought. Hermione and Draco were yet to make love. He had never pressured her as he knew she was still a virgin and he would simply have to wait until she was ready.
He of course was far past his virginity days, having had many a girl throw themselves on him in which he willingly accepted their advances and shagged them senseless in his Slytherin dormitory.
But none of them had ever meant anything. Never had he been nervous. And as he once again swept Hermione up in his arms and lead her upstairs to the bedroom he felt as if his lungs would collapse. This time it meant something to him. This time he wasn't just shagging a horny teenage girl. This time he was making love to the woman he loved.
He laid the drenched Hermione down onto the duvet and leaned in over her, Salty water dripping off him onto her bodice and mingled with hers. Her white flowing top clung to her perfect mounds in a way which left Draco no resistance to the need to cup one in his hand where it seemed to fit perfectly.
Hermione held Draco's gaze the whole time as he leaned up and brought her to a sitting position as he knelt in front of her on the bed. Her eyes were full of warmth which made Draco more comfortable, knowing she was doing this because she wanted to and not simply for him.
She slowly undid the buttons on his dark blue oxford and slid her hands down his toned arms as the shirt fell behind. His chest glistened with the water of the salty ocean and Hermione traced her arms up his defined muscular back.
They leant in with their foreheads touching, water droplets pooling between them. Draco reached his hands beneath Hermione's shirt and began to slide the gauzy material up revealing her wet abdomen which shuddered at his soft touch. Hermione held her arms above her head as Draco pulled the shirt over and dropped it behind her on the duvet. Slowly and deliberately they removed every article of clothing as Draco leaned in and captured her mouth with his yearning kisses.
The act was unhurried. They were in no rush to meet any final destination, but simply savour every moment; every bead of sweat mixed with salty ocean droplets, every soft, sweet touch mixed with the passionate thrusts of longing, every gasp of pleasure which was drenched deep from within the heart and spilled out into their love making.
Draco placed a kiss on Hermione's forehead and fell quivering beside her. He entwined his fingers with hers as she turned on her side to face the one and only person in the universe who could capture her yet leave her liberated all in the same instance.
It hadn't hurt. Draco did it with such grace and softness, yet at the same time a passionate and fiery hunger that she had never experienced. She reached up and traced her spare hand across his pale, chiselled jaw. It was drenched with a mixture of the sea water and sweat.
Any doubts she ever had about his feelings were banished with their consummation. They hadn't simply made love, they had poured every drop of lust and love and passion into it to show each other how much they meant to each other. And it was ecstasy.
"I will love you forever Hermione, you know that right?" He said softly.
Hermione closed her eyes and snuggled up against his chest. Draco instinctively wrapped a protective arm around her body trailing over her curves.
"Yes." She whispered.
They fell asleep in the bed drenched with the water from the ocean they had brought with them, yet not caring in the slightest.
A/N: First chappy? It doesn't rly get far into the story but I felt it was necessary just to show you where Hermione and Draco's relationship was at the moment. Please review and tell me what you thought. ALSO throughout the story i'm hoping to come up with a new title. Your thoughts are welcome if you can think of a suitable one.
