Chapter 2: The Tension Breaks
A few days later, Hermione returned to work at the castle. She was very shy around Severus now, though her colleague tried to make it so nothing was awkward. Finally, she could not stand it anymore, and tried to apologize again.
"What I did the other night was way out of line, Severus. I was frustrated and I'm sorry. If you want, I can resign right now and…."
"Hermione…." Snape's soft voice made her look up from the floor. Severus had a soft smile on his face. He approached and suddenly put his arms around her.
"I wanted to tell you that I have fantasized about you too….ever since you started working with me."
Hermione's heart almost stopped. The rational part of her brain wanted to tell Snape off, remind him of her situation. Even as she tried this, though, her voice seemed weak.
"Severus… please don't do this. I'm a married woman."
"In a sexually thankless marriage," Snape finished for her. "I could give you what you need." Their faces were inches apart now; Hermione found herself putting one hand through the hair at the nape of Snape's neck. Her eyes began to flutter close and their mouths drew closer.
"Severus…" she panted. "We can't. I'm married –"
All at once, he spun her about, and cut her off, crushing his lips to hers. Hermione gasped into Snape's mouth. She wanted to pull away, but found that she could not. He kissed so much better than Ron….
Snape's one hand went to her waist, then groped lower. He caressed her bum, even as his other hand ran along her cheek and into her curly brown hair.
"Mmmmm…..no, no…." Hermione protested weakly. Snape insistently gave her bum a squeeze.
"Yes, yes," he hissed. At last, Hermione gave in.
"Hmmmm….." she hummed in pleasure as her eyes closed at last and she kissed Snape back. She dug her nails into the black robes along his shoulder blade, while the other hand played with his neck. She opened her mouth as his tongue explored to grant him access. Snape's hands went all over her green dress, trying to find a strap so he could undress her. Hermione certainly was not opposed to having sex with her colleague, and once Snape boldly hitched her leg to his waist, she went over the point of no return.
She leapt straight into his arms at that point, folding her legs about his waist as Snape staggered them back into his private chambers. They frantically ripped at each other's clothes, wanting to be naked and in coitus immediately. As soon as this task was done, Snape threw them both into his shower. He hoisted the married Weasley up the wall, and wasted no time in filling her vagina with his member.
"Fuck….fuck…..uh, uh," Snape grunted as he pounded into Hermione with a fury. "You're so tight. Has your pathetic excuse of a husband ever had sex with you?" It was meant to be a rhetorical question, yet Hermione still answered him.
"Not….since….Hugo….was a…..baby…." she panted with each thrust, as she flopped against the wall and shower droplets rained down on them.
This seemed to invigorate Snape, and he slammed into Hermione again and again, determined to make her come. At last, with an airy scream, she did. They cleansed themselves and stepped out of the shower. But before long, Hermione now eagerly took the initiative, making love to her Potions master in his bed and chambers. They kissed and stroked and petted heavily all the while, moaning in between each touch. Hermione had not felt this sexually liberated since her wedding night at least. When both finally came a second time in bed, they fell asleep in each other's arms.
Severus and Hermione kept up the affair for years afterward. Hermione's work gave her a legitimate excuse to be with Severus often. Sometimes, they would even work at his cottage in the country, a secluded area where they could act as a couple and be free from the wizarding press. Ron nor Rose and Hugo ever suspected a thing.
The arrangement worked. Hermione could take out her sexual frustrations with Snape (under protection, of course, ever since their first time together) and still be married to Ron and keep her family intact. The fact that she got away with it made the affair even sweeter.
