[Epilogue Part II]
The noises of their Apparation triggered a fire in the younger Malfoy's home, a modest manor compared to that of his ancient family's. Oil lamps throughout the center of the house lit immediately, dimly lighting the room upon their master's arrival. Draco had everything in his house enchanted to serve him, so that he could spend more of his energies in self-loathing. But he needn't to do that anymore now that Katie had returned in his life, penetrating every facet and corner of his soul.
They hadn't separated since Diagon Alley, still locked in each other's embrace as they clung to each other's passions. Katie took Draco prisoner again; kissing him as if she were about to lose him while Draco pressed her hips firmly against his, making her feel what was growing there. Repeating the same old dance from years ago, Katie pushed his heavy coat off his shoulders. Helping her, Draco shifted his arms back and let it slide down to the floor before proceeding to unwrap her thick grey scarf from her neck. Katie shrugged out of her cloak, letting it fall next to his crumpled coat on the dark wooden floor. Golden streaks of light were flickering all throughout the house, reflecting on their pale skin and dancing in each other's eyes. Draco's framed her face with his hands for a kiss before tugging her wool pullover up her sides and off her shoulders, leaving her brown wavy hair a mess. He released a sigh of admiration as he pulled the elastic from her hair, allowing it to bounce freely.
Suddenly becoming aware of what they were doing, or about to do, the pair paused and stared at each other in the soft fire light, feeling the gravity of their past bring them together again for a tender kiss, a gentle reminder to prolong their reward.
Katie slowly started unbuttoning his silken black shirt, remembering the last time she did this amid the terror of the battle for Hogwarts. She wanted to see his skin again, to feel it's soft warmth against hers. When she opened the front, she made to take it off his shoulders, but Draco gently held her wrists away again like he did before.
"It's still there," he warned.
"I'm not scared anymore." She demanded, begging him with her eyes. Seeing that she truly wasn't scared, Draco released her wrists, looking down vacantly.
"Hey, don't go away again." Katie threatened, holding his face up again. "You are not that same boy anymore."
Gently, Katie's hands traveled up and around his shoulders pushing his shirt back. Gravity took the rest of the shirt down, gathering at his lower back, caught on his wrists. It was a beautiful sight for Katie to finally watch the shirt come off. His steely eyes bore into her as she found the Dark Mark. It had faded considerably since the Dark Lord's defeat, but was still very much there like an old scar. She dared not touch it, fearing it was still alive and could hurt him.
Instead, Katie tugged her Henley top over her head, causing her hair to billow out even more. Draco gasped at the sight of her, enjoying the differences between her 23 year-old and her 18 year-old bodies. Draco snaked his left arm around her, forcing her against his hard chest as he kissed her deeply, angling her head back. Katie kissed back just as fiercely, shoving her tongue past his lips. Spurring Draco on, she reached behind her back and snapped her bra free, allowing him to grab it and yank it off impatiently, bringing his right hand back up to cup her breast.
Caught up in each other, Draco and Katie danced their way to the couch near the fireplace, holding desperately to each other. The firelight cast long, dark shadows over Draco's chest, spreading up to his face as he collapsed into the center of the couch, bringing Katie to sit atop his lap. Her thighs wrapped around his sides, taking him prisoner once more as she kissed him, burying her hands in his wavy blonde mop top.
"Save me, please." He whispered desperately and holding her close.
"But I am." She responded, unlatching his belt buckle and pulling it out from the loops in his pants. His slender fingers slipped forward to undo the snap on her trousers, pulling the zipper down. Katie stood up from his lap and slowly pushed them down past her knees. Draco did the same while remaining on the couch, but leaned forward to take hold of her hips, placing kisses on her stomach. His kisses trailed up her waist and in between her breasts while his hands followed a similar pattern of devotion.
"Take me to bed, Draco." Katie implied, pulling his wand out from his trousers and gently running it between his pecs.
Draco placed his hand on hers, removing his wand from her grip and instantly Apparated them upstairs. No time for this Muggle fuss of walking up stairs. They landed with a snap, already horizontal on his bed. It made a creaking sound as the sudden weight of their bodies sank into the mattress. Upon their instant arrival, the hearth came to life, throwing shadows across the ceiling and warming the chilly room. Draco's bed, Katie noticed, was all white linens and blankets. In fact, the whole room was a shade of light greys and whites with small gold and emerald objects scattered about the room to accent. She loved how bright and pure the room felt, and how plush the bed was—completely opposite of the darker world Draco used to live in.
"Well, this isn't a dungeon." Katie joked, leaning into the soft pillows.
"No it certainly is not." Draco agreed, crawling over her and leaning in for a kiss.
Katie obliged, pulling him down on her chest, feeling every exposed rib as she held him close.
"These bones weren't always this thin, what's happened to you, Draco?" Katie asked, breaking the kiss and feeling his sides. Draco sighed in frustration, but answered her anyway.
"I don't eat much in the middle of winter, because I remember that's when I cursed you. I can't not think about what I did to you whenever it snows."
"Winter's lovely bones, then?" Katie mused, pushing his bangs out of his eyes. "Remind me to make you pancakes in the morning." She said plainly, choosing not to think of how sad he could get sometimes. She's already seen him at his absolute lowest. But Draco just smiled at her offer, thinking of how fantastic that would be.
"I want your lovely bones," Draco said, grabbing a handful of her supple thigh and squeezing it right before he slapped it. Katie chastised him, but was silenced again as Draco kissed her open mouth, sliding his tongue between her lips.
Katie moaned in delight as his hands started exploring her breasts, feeling each one and then dropped his head down to take a nipple into his mouth. Katie started squirming with delight at the new sensation of his tongue on her. But Draco wanted her to keep still, pressing her wrists down above her head and slowly grinding his hips down on hers, his hard-on impossible to hide anymore.
"Stay still, love. I haven't even started yet."
"There is no chance in hell I'd just lay still for you, Malfoy." Katie challenged, wrapping her legs around his waist and pushed him on his side, perching herself victoriously on top.
"Damn Quidditch muscles." Draco smirked, squeezing her thighs again. And for once, she smirked back at him.
Not playing around anymore, Katie leaned down, pressing her breasts against his chest as she kissed him feverishly. Draco's hands traveled up her arms planted on either side of his head, across her shoulders and down her back, squeezing his hands around her ass. Katie moaned at his touch, gliding her hips cruelly over his desperate erection. Draco gasped in anguish at her movements.
"Oh, Katie I need you," he breathed in her ear slowly like a man on the edge.
Katie dismounted Draco, settling beside him as she tugged her rather wet panties down her legs. Draco did the same, arching his back up to tug his briefs off his bum. Katie grabbed the briefs and yanked them off his legs, intending to climb back on him, but was interrupted by a wandering hand settling in between her thighs. Katie gasped aloud when his fingers stroked her wet folds, closing her eyes at the sensation.
Draco pushed Katie back into the bed with a forceful kiss, leaning over her once more. Her legs moved apart to allow him to settle in between. Continuing his attention to her sopping wet lady parts, Draco slithered down between her thighs to lap up her arousal, fingering her sensitive button at the same time. Katie gasped loudly in delight, arching her chest up at the delights of his persuasive tongue. He was relentless as he drove her closer to her release, breathing heavily on her heat and making her moan with exquisite agony. Moving his fingers quickly, Katie couldn't hold it in anymore, letting the rushing wave of energy flow through her body, her legs trembling around Draco's sides. He pulled his fingers out of her folds slowly, sucking provocatively on them as he sat up.
Running his dry hand through his ruffled hair turned Katie on even more, causing her to sit up and kiss him again, tasting herself on his lips. Wanting to return the favor, she slipped her hand between them to grasp his manhood. Draco immediately groaned into her mouth, a dark and needy sound if she's ever heard one. He slid his tongue into her mouth, desperate to taste her again. Katie tugged and squeezed it repeatedly, finding him start to lose his composure as they sat on the bed.
"Please let me have you," he begged, his voice even thicker with want.
They had never gotten this far while at Hogwarts together; something always came between them, or they simply weren't ready yet. But Draco felt convinced that he could only ever be with Katie until the day he died.
Katie smiled deviously at him as she released her desperate prisoner once more. She made him lie backwards on his bed, wrapping her legs around him as she settled over him. Draco slid his right hand between them to hold himself up, ready to enter her. Katie's warmth found his tip and glided over, swallowing his length up. Both Draco and Katie moaned at the long- awaited, absolutely divine sensation. His head sank back into the foot of the bed as his hands found purchase, grasping her thighs tightly. Katie's hands were on his chest as she propped herself up, adjusting to the burn of her virgin inner muscles being forced apart by his thickness. She let out a deep breath as she finally became comfortable, testing the waters, as she started moving. Draco took the hint and started rotating his hips up slowly.
The feeling of her tight warmth was overwhelming to Draco, and since he never took on lovers or allowed himself any self-pleasure, he feared it would be over all too soon after they started. But he used his sharp will to restrain his release until later; they deserved it after all these years of waiting.
Draco continued to roll his hips up, drawing a sudden loud moan from Katie. She moved her arms on either side of his head, and leaned down, taking his bottom lip in between her teeth. He uttered a small laugh at her lustiness, slapping her ass once more. They returned to kissing, breaking apart every bit to gasp and moan at each other's sudden movements. Feeling dominance kindle like a wildfire in his gut, Draco pulled out and suddenly flipped Katie on her back, shoving himself back in.
Katie was stupefied for a moment as she felt him withdraw from her. Gravity cheated her, as she found herself on her back. Feeling him thrust back in suddenly left her dizzy and seeing spots as she clutched onto his arms, suppressing the need to yell aloud.
"Scream it, love, there's no one around for miles." Draco urged as he rolled his hips wickedly into her again.
Katie could only gasp for air as he tortured her, but when he slipped his right thumb down between their sexes to test her clit again, she didn't hold back. To Draco's sheer delight, she screamed his name begging him for more. She opened her eyes to look at what he was doing, only to discover his marked arm teasing her clit as his hips rotated forward. Somehow, she found it incredibly sexy to see his Dark Marked arm pleasuring her. His steely eyes were peering out from behind his messy bangs, staring right at her; Katie was completely taken aback by this sudden glimpse of his dark beauty. Katie felt her inner muscles involuntarily clench around him, making him shut his eyes and drop his jaw in sweet anguish. Katie felt like a sadist, thoroughly enjoying his face like that, and made him do it again as she came moments later, crying out her joy.
It was coming closer for Draco, that sweet release. He tried and tried, but when she started returning her hips up to meet his, he broke down. The delicious pain from the bottom of his spine ignited, making him shove into her faster. She wrapped her legs around his back and held onto him as he came, pushing erratically and groaning the loudest, most beautiful sound she's ever heard him make.
Utterly spent, Draco rolled his eyes back as he departed her tight warmth and settled beside her.
"Merlin's balls, Draco. Is that what I've been missing this whole time?" Katie teased.
"Silence woman, I can't even think right now." He whispered huskily. Katie laughed triumphantly, holding his face in her hands as they stared into each other's eyes. He was still heaving to catch his breath as she kissed him sweetly.
"Forget making pancakes for you tomorrow, I'm making them now so we can do that again." She declared, moving herself to get off the bed.
But Draco caught her arm gently, urging her to stop. "Wait, stay here please. I want to ask you something."
Draco sat upright and pushed his hair out of his eyes again, causing Katie to notice the anxious look on his face. She sat on her knees at the edge of the bed, waiting for him to continue.
"What is it, Draco?" she asked softly.
He hesitated, trying to collect his scattered thoughts. Downstairs the grandfather clock struck two, neither one of them caring how late it actually was. Finally, Draco took her hands and spoke softly.
"I've been living alone for the past five years not just to make myself feel the loneliness and regret that I deserve to live in, but because I needed to make sure you—every blessed ounce of you—would be absolutely worth it."
Katie looked into his boyish eyes, finding an innocence there she'd never seen before, smiling.
"You are such a beautiful person, and I never want to wrong you or lose you again. Which is why, Katie Bell, as naked as the day I was born," Draco chuckled as he leapt off the bed and knelt before her, his head angled up at her with a strange new seriousness in his face. "I'm asking you to marry me."
Katie's eyes widened and her smile spread. She was breathless for an answer, but slowly nodded her head yes. Draco's heart swelled at her acceptance, he didn't plan on asking her tonight, but felt like it may have been the best night to ask after all. He immediately sprung off the floor and took Katie's face in his hands, kissing her with all his might. Katie did not expect him to ask anything like this until he kneeled quite bare, in every sense of the word, before her. It shocked her when she accepted; she did not know Draco had the capacity to love like this. But she knew he would certainly try again for her.
Draco continued kissing her as they both lay back down on the bed, stretching out their entwined legs. She wrapped her arm around his side and held him closer to her as they kissed, loving each other after their long-awaited reunion.
"Do I get a ring?" Katie asked.
"Tomorrow we'll go pick one out after those long-awaited pancakes, love." Draco winked.
Katie couldn't have thought of a better ending to their long and turbulent love story than for him to ask her this. In time, all of his past faults against her would be reconciled. They were finally free.
