Chapter 3: What lies beneath
A/n: Thank you somekindofwildgirl, SkathaScribbles, and risi for the reviews! I love hearing from all of you.
He never moved so quickly in his life as he followed her into her bedchamber. She removed her robes and sat on the edge of the bed. He wasn't sure what she wanted him to do but he followed suit and removed his heavy robes as well. He was wearing his traditional black trousers and jacket with a long line of buttons all the way to his neck. He was thankful it hung just over his manhood as his trousers were not doing a great job hiding his erection.
She was wearing a dress of dark green, he couldn't help thinking how she always wore dark green, the colors of his house. She also was buttoned up to the neck, but now he knew why she was always buttoned to the neck. He walked in front of her and she made no move to undo the buttons so he gently reached down and undid the first. She simply watched him with her eyes pleading him to continue. He had reached the fourth button which lay between her breasts and as he unbuttoned it, he let the back of his hands accidently rub against her nipples. They were hard and inviting and he could hear a barely audible moan escape her lips.
Beneath her dress he could just start to visualize her bra as he slowly pushed the top of her dress open. Black. Again, he approved of her color selection. He could just make out the top curve of the mark as it traveled in one direction under her bra on her left breast and in the other direction down towards her stomach. He would not be able to see much more from the position she was in.
She must have read his mind because she scooted her bum back about a foot and then lay prone on her back. To reach her Severus had to get on top of the bed. He placed his left knee on her right side and elevated over her. His face was even with hers but he kept about two feet of space between their faces. He was fighting with every ounce of his being not to rub his erection on her leg. He placed his left hand next to her head for support to keep himself elevated over her as he used his right hand to continue to undo the buttons on her dress.
He had gotten as far as her belly button when the scar from the wound he healed just three nights ago was visible. He used the scar as the excuse to touch her. He used two fingers on his right hand to trace the ridges of the scar from top to button. It ran from her belly button to about three inches higher. She shivered under his touch but she didn't stop him or flinch away. The scar transected the beautiful design on her chest and he let his fingers glide from the scar to the mark. Up her stomach and across her sternum and stopped when he reached the material of her bra.
Heat was emitted from her core to her breasts as he got oh so close to touching her nipples. She hadn't felt a lust and passion for a man like this since the mark was placed on her body. She didn't want him to stop. He was admiring the Celtic knots that weaved in a smooth pattern from her breast to her belly but he still saw only part of the picture. Thinking with her body and not her mind she lifted her right hand to her left shoulder and gradually, seductively, lowered her bra strap to reveal the top part of her breast.
Severus took the hint and pulled the left side of her bra below her breast revealing her half naked chest to him. He inhaled deeply as then traced his finger over the knots, over the top of her breast and down to her nipple.
She instinctively closed her eyes and then lifted her right hand up to his chest looking for some piece of material to grab. His coat was tight and buttoned so high that she essential had nothing to hold on to and instead just raked his chest with her nails.
Severus thought he was going to explode. He had to place his right hand on the other side of the bed to keep from grinding his erection up the length of her body. His face was even with hers and his black hair falling like a curtain on either side. In a low, long drawl he said " I need…to see…all of you"
It was not a question or a command but a matter-of-fact. She looked into his eyes and nodded her assent. She was rather sure she would not have been able to form words at the moment. Severus enjoyed the tension and sexual nature of undressing Minerva but now he needed to see all of her and quickly. He removed his wand from his pocket and placed it gentle on her stomach as he muttered "Diffindo" and the remains of her dress ripped down the middle.
Minerva arched an eyebrow at him and finally found her voice when he favorite dress was split down the middle "Well, I am not sure that was necessary!" she said as she arched up onto her elbows.
"My apologies" he whispered with a smirk that clearly indicated he was not in the least bit sorry.
Their faces were now about two inches apart and she could see the lust in his eyes and she wanted him just as badly. There was a major problem though in that she was half naked, save for panties and her bra half on her, while he was fully clothed.
"You seemed a little over dressed for this event" she smirked back.
"Please" he began "feel free to rip off my clothes as well"
Since she was half-naked and thus, wandless she decided to take him up on his offer the traditional way. She reached up to the top button near his neck and she ran her finger over it. She didn't open it, she just caressed it, the then next button and so on as she trailed her finger down is black jacket. When she got the last button she opened it and reached inside and carefully ran a finger down his length. He closed his eyes and moaned as he pushed his cock into her hands. She ran her palm up and down as she watched his face.
He opened his eyes and saw her staring at him with a smirk on her face. He decided it was time to wipe that smirk off so he grabbed her forcefully by the back of her neck and drove his lips to hers. She was pressed firmly to the mattress and she was loving every moment of it. She lifted her hands from his body and ran them over his face and into his hair were she held on to the back of his head as he drove his tongue into her mouth. She worked her hands down his back and then tried to find a space to get her hands between them so she could remove the rest of the buttons. She was final able to get two hands on his shoulders and she pushed at him to break away.
He finally did and he narrowed his eyes at her in a look that bordered between lust and anger. She actually rolled her eyes at him and said "For Merlin's sake, take your clothes off!"
