CHAPTER 10: Feelings

The following morning Severus Snape woke up with a smile on his face.

She does something to me.

I'm waking up smiling, I've never done that in my life. However I wonder if she regrets staying with me last night? Why would she fall for a wizard like me? I'm twenty years her senior.

While Severus's thoughts were ticking in his head like a clock, Hermione started to stir. Her eyes lifted, and then she realised what had happened that night. However she had no regrets, she was glad he felt the same way.

She stared at his face, what an intricate man laid before her. She could see lines of pain that had etched his face, for what seemed like years of pain filled the lines. Though dispite all of that, she loved his face, infact she loved everything about him, she couldn't belive that he said that word to her last night, and she replied back?

She continued looking at his peaceful face.

However, Her staring did not go unnoticed.

"Carry on staring like that and you will burn holes into my face."

She was taken back at his comment, bringing her back to reality. "Oh? Sorry... Good Morning, How are you feeling?"

Snapes eyes flew open, "Blessed, because I have the most kindest, loving witch in my bed."

Hermione went red, but she smiled. "Oh stop teasing..." she sat up.

"No, please stay here, don't get up yet." Moving closer to her body, Hermione sighed, but complied and lay beside him once again. Snape bought her body into an embrace, and playfully rolled on top of her, despite the fact that it still hurt to move that fast.

They both stared intently at one another.

Hermione was the one to break the silence. "Severus? Did you really mean what you said last night? Or was it just in the heat of the moment?"

His face looked unfathomable at that point, although his face looked like a confused puppy to Hermione.

"You know me Granger, I am not a person to joke..." he growled in a low tone, which she thought was sexy.

She closed the gap inbetween them, and kissed him, their arms once again intertwined.

Severus could feel Hermione push her hand through his hair. Something that he was quite proud of himself, and hardly EVER let anyone touch it. However Hermione? Well... how could he deny her of that privilege?

He had already layed out his emotions and feelings on a platter for her. He knew there would be a breaking point somewhere. Even though she was aware of it now, he felt he began to become fond of her long before he even woke up. Now that he had? Although he had been awake for three weeks now, Severus felt like their 'relationship' between them had grown... From the loving touches, to the warm looks throughout the day, even when she came down to comfort him when his dreams unsettled his mind.

For Severus, today was a milestone, and opportunity to take this forward.

Hermione was asorbed by the love that Severus was offering her, and she was basking in it. She too felt that what was happening between herself and Severus had indeed started while he was asleep. While he had been awake he told her that he heard everything she said to him. Which made Hermione happy. She had unconsciously made the decision in her mind that she had fallen in love with him, and hearing him confirm it meant alot to her.

So does that mean that we are official now?

The kissing grew deeper and could feel herself becoming rather flustered, she could also feel that Severus was enjoying himself too.

Severus was still on top of her, and the more he kissed her, the more he could feel himself become rather aroused.

The arousel that Severus was showing was rubbing against Hermione's thigh, turning her on too. She grinded against it, rubbing herself on him both enjoying the pleasure it gave them.

Severus had to stop, he knew if he carried on two outcomes could possible happen, he would either end up making a rather sticky mess in his underwear like a randy teen, or taking things even further. However he didn't want to rush things for her, she might not be ready yet. Plus it had been 20 years since he had been intimate with a woman, and he was worried he would no last long.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked breathlessly. Snape looked at her, with a tenderness in his eyes. "Is this what you want?" He mumbled. "We don't have to do this."

Hermione felt a pang of sadness when he suggested to stop, she really didn't want him to.

She kissed him again, "Hey, let's just see what happens, dont stop" she said between kisses.

She carried on grinding with him as it felt good to her. To be honest it felt good for Severus too, too good, he knew he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

I guess she chose randy teen option.

Hermione could feel the pleasure in herself grow, but she could feel from the way snape was groaning into her mouth, and his hip movement's, that his pleasure was building too!

"Severusss" she hissed at him with pleasure, she tried to make her sentence before it was too late for both of them. "Let's not end like this, I'm ready" it almost seemed like she screamed it at him.

Severus was more than happy to comply to her wish, they were both reaching the edge anyway.

He quickly pulled down his underwear letting himself free. Hermione did the same, with her knickers quickly off she threw them on the floor. "I hope you will pick them up later..." he moaned in his silky deep voice. Hermione giggled, before feeling Snape get himself into position.

He looked at her, his face was full of passion and lust, before he asked one more time.

"Hermione... Are. You. Sure?"

"Yes."

A pause.

Then suddenly Hermione felt the most amazing rush come over her body as Severus became one with her. Hermione had been intimate once before, however nothing compared to what she was feeling in that moment with Severus. They were now one, and it felt perfect to the both of them, they were the right fit for each other, and their souls collided washing them both with pure ecstasy.

They rolled over.

Hermione and Snape never took their eyes off each other, as they could both feel the warmth and the joy reflect off each other.

As they reached a rhythm that both suited them, she could feel Snapes breath become more shallow and faster. Which made her body react the same way, building and building until she knew any second she would fall off the edge into Oblivion.

Snapes pace went quicker, the feeling of being inside of Hermione was something indescribable. She began to tense up and close around him tighter, she was near the edge. Snape got used this feeling and just as he felt her get tighter, he felt himself go ridged and just let go, feeling himself release his pleasure inside of her.

Hermione was at the edge! And just as she felt Severus release she followed suit, bringing herself to feel the most exquisite pleasure and ecstasy absorb her body.

Hermione fell next to Severus, both panting from pleasurable delight.

A few minutes passed basking in the afterglow, Severus sighed, "What is this?"

Hermione layed there thinking, "Honestly Severus? I don't know... what do you want this to be?"

Severus froze.

How do I respond? I know what I want, and that's her. What do I call this, courting? No that's too old fashioned...

"Hermione?"

"Yes Severus?"

"I don't know how to say this..."

Hermione layed there confused, what is he going to say?

Severus looked at Hermione in the eyes, feeling very out of his depth.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

Hermione snorted, "Girlfriend?"

"You know...Partner... Hermione, I'm sorry... I'm not good at this."

She looked back at him seeing him all out of his depth.

"Severus, you are very adorable when uncomfortable..." She hugged him tenderly seeing his face blush.

"And yes... I will be your 'girlfriend'..." She whispered amusingly.

Severus breathed in, saying his thoughts aloud.

"You are so perfect Hermione..."

They were still in the bed when all of a sudden Hermione's belly made a rather large rumble.

"Breakfast?"

"Breakfast." Hermione smiled.
