Chapter 7: Worth A Shot
Draco watched her as she walked out to the stables and take out a black horse. He couldn't help but feel like a bit of a stalker. She got on her horse and rode it slowly. Suddenly she sped up and rode it faster then he had ever seen her ride before.
Bloody hell, slow down He thought as he tried to keep up with her, on his broom. She had stopped. Draco went down and got off his broom and saw her standing in a clearing. The clearing had trees covering it and sunlight was shining through the small spaces between the branches. Her horse was tied to a tree. She was kneeling down near a small creek.
He stepped on a branch, accidently. She turned around and drew out her wand. "Calm down it's just me" Draco said lazily as he stepped out, into the clearing.
"Draco, you scared the hell out of me, what are you doing here?" Karina asked putting her wand away.
"I came to see you, since I haven't talked to you in a while." He said walking over to her horse and petting it. Karina just watched him quietly.
"Okay well you saw me, now you can go." She said with her arms crossed. Draco just shook his head.
"Fine, then I'll go" She said going over to her horse. "Are you that scared to be alone with me?" He asked. She didn't turn around to look at him but said "I'm not scared to be alone with you".
"Really?Because you avoid me, you rush out of the classroom after each class ends so you don't have to talk to me, can you at least look at me?" He said angrily. All the frustration,all the hurt, he had felt for the past couple of months was coming out.
She turned and stared at him. "You wanna know why I avoid you? Because of my friends, After the night of the Yule Ball, my friends avoided me, my own friends! My mum is barely here and I almost never get to see my father, so I have no one except my friends and If I was with you, they would probably never talk to me again, and I couldn't live with that. So it's better for me to avoid you." She said fiercly with tears welling up in her eyes. Draco just stared at her, he understood that she didn't want to lose her friends since they were important to her but couldn't she understand that she was important to him?
"Now can I go?" she asked. "No, answer this, you think about being with me?so why not?" He said.
"Didn't you just hear a word i said?" She said. "Yeah but and hear me out on this,what if we secretly dated each other?" He said. Karina opened her mouth, as if to say something, but then closed it. It was a tempting offer, and it could possibly work.
"That would work but...why would you bother to risk so much?" She said confused. He put his hands on her shoulders and said "Karina, we'll never know if there can ever be an "us" if we don't try and find out ".
Karina looked into his grey eyes. They were filled with hope. She sighed and said "okay..". He hugged her and she leaned her head againest his chest. She could smell his cologne.
Draco stroked her hair and kissed her forehead. It was suprisingly tender, something she hadn't excepted him to do. She looked up at him and leaned in. He kissed her gently. She opened her eyes and looked at him. He smiled and kissed her again. This time, he was somewhat rougher, in a sensual way. Her body was fitting itself to his, as he held her.
His mouth was pressed againest her's. His tongue was in her mouth, as if it was exploring every part of it. A slow burn was taking root in her belly. She felt a dire need for more. And he was more then willing to give her more. He kissed her until the blood was roaring in his head. She tasted like sin. And if kissing her made him a sinner, he didn't care.
After what seemed like ages, they finally broke apart, both breathless and slightly flushed. " Draco..." she whispered. Her hands clutched his shirt tightly. He wanted nothing more than for to start ripping his clothes off but he knew she wouldn't do that, at least not yet.
After he finally caught his breath, he said "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that". She gave him a little smile and started to kiss his neck. He gave a low moan and felt weak, as if she could do anything she wanted to him and he wouldn't be able to stop her.
She nipped at his ear and whispered "enjoying yourself?". He laughed and said quietly " you have no idea". He kissed her softly.
"Now aren't you glad you agreed to give us a try?" He said smiling. "Yes I am" She said as she walked over to tie her horse loose. "You're going?" he said clearly suprised.
"Yeah it's almost nightful and I don't want my mum to worry." She said.
"Can I see you again,tommorow?" he asked eagerly. She bit her lip and said "sure, this same spot, tommorow, around noon?" she said. He nodded still a bit flushed.
"Oh and before I forget" She said. And as if out of nowhere she was up close to him and she kissed him, intensly. She heard him give another low moan. "I'll see you tommorow." She said quietly. Karina got on the horse and said "Bye!". He smiled and waved good bye, and he watched her ride off. He flew back home, feeling exhilarated. He still remembered how she tasted, how her lips felt.
