Properly Reunited

Severus felt like he was dreaming, floating along through some teasingly wonderful dream that would end with him crashing down hard and alone. But then Hermione laid her hands flat on his chest and tiptoed to kiss him. The gentle fluttering against his lips made him close his eyes in hope that it was real.

Slowly she slid her hands under the thick wool of his robe and pushed it off of his shoulders. She pressed her face into his chest again and nuzzled the warm material. Severus forgot to breath until he brought his arms up and hesitantly touched her back. When the younger woman muttered something into his clothes he let go.

"I said don't let go." She said more clearly.

Releasing the breath he didn't know he was holding, he ran his hand over her back, holding her close, inhaling the scent of her hair. Hermione deftly undid the buttons on his jacket and slid it off before giving his shirt the same treatment. Then for one breathless moment, she nuzzled his bare chest like a large cat, humming her satisfaction.

Severus remembered to breathe again and hesitantly touched the hem of her shirt. "May I?"

She moved back just enough to raise her arms and nod. The older man rolled the fabric up until he could pull it off over her head. Severus barely touched her skin, almost afraid she would shatter if he was too harsh. His gentle touch brought goosebumps across her flesh and she laughed under her breath. The tiny movement rippled her stomach, soft and flat, with the barest of white lines remaining as proof of her previous pregnancy.

Severus was fascinated with her belly button and sunk to his knees to kiss the divot. He lightly ran his lips across her stomach, holding her hips still, before moving upwards. In a fit of selfishness he pressed his face between her breasts and inhaled. She slid her fingers through his hair, barely scraping his scalp and sending waves of pleasure down his spine as he smoothed his hands over her breasts.

He reached behind her back and tugged at the strap of her bra, unable to unhook the clasp. But before she could do it for him, he just pulled it up over her head, allowing her breasts to bounce free where he was instantly captivated by them again. He nuzzled and rubbed his face against her smooth skin, delighting in the soft roundness of her form.

More sure of himself, Severus leaned back slightly and fingered the band of her pants, begging permission with his eyes. Her smile was all the answer he needed and he quickly undid the fastenings, sliding them down her hips. Severus planted kisses on her hips, thighs, knees, and stomach, delighting in the breathy moans that issued from her mouth.

Leaving her panties in place he stood and captured her mouth with his. So intent was he on remembering to breath but unwilling to break the kiss, that he didn't notice Hermione had undone his trousers until he felt her cool hand on his member. The sensation blew little sparks behind his eyelids and he moaned low on his throat.

Hermione pushed his trousers down and backed toward the bed, falling backwards into its enveloping embrace. Severus kicked off his pants and stood for a moment with his fingers plucking at the elastic of his boxers. She wetted her lips and nodded so he pushed those to the floor as well.

Fighting the urge to run, Severus let the younger woman examine his fully aroused form. She finally hooked her thumbs in her panties and kicked them off to the floor. The brunette then opened her arms and smiled. Carefully he crawled on top of her and just embraced her, exhilarated by the feeling of her naked body pressed against his. She wrapped her legs around his hip and pulled him close, trapping his fully erect cock between their bodies.

His hips involuntarily twitched forward increasing the friction between them. Severus bit his lip and forced his body to remain completely still. Hermione finally whispered in his ear. "I want to feel you inside me."

Quickly losing all conscious thought, he angled his hips and positioned himself at her opening. The instant he felt her tense up, he tried to get off of her but she clung to him.

"Please, don't run away. I just need some time to relax." She spoke calmly and he allowed himself to be pulled over her again.

This time however, he delicately slid his fingers down to her sex and caressed her warm folds until her legs parted and she relaxed. When his thumb caressed the bundle of nerves centered at her clitoris she moaned again and arched her back slightly. Combining the sweeping motion of his thumb with a delicate press of his finger he breached her inner folds and nearly came undone when she mewled.

Severus kept up the ministrations until Hermione begged him for more and tried pulling his hips even with hers. This time, when he positioned himself at her entrance, she used her legs and pulled him down into her hot folds. The Gryffindor cried out in pleasure as he sunk full to the hilt inside her.

Unable to help his desire, he began thrusting and sucked on her neck. Hermione rolled her hips with each thrust, rubbing her clit against him. Unexpectedly she clenched all of her muscles, moaned loudly and arched her back in pleasure. The older man quickly followed with a few quick thrusts into her spasming body.

Severus bonelessly rested his weight on his elbows and let his head rest against her collarbone. He couldn't resist kissing her skin until he felt something wet against his cheek. The older man looked at her and tried to scramble away again when he saw her eyes squeezed shut and tears clinging to her lashes. But as he tried to pull away she clung tightly to him.

"I hurt you. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Severus attempted to remove her arms and escape.

"I didn't know it could feel like that." Hermione sighed into his neck.

Instantly he froze. "I didn't hurt you?"

"No! That was amazing." She kissed him passionately. "Thank you for coming back."

"Thank you for giving me a chance." He hugged her tightly and actually laughed. "Mine." He growled possessively.

"Yours." She agreed.
