He moved his hands from her cheeks to her back and pulled her flush with his body, dragging his mouth back to hers. She moaned when his tongue clashed with hers and he felt a tightening in his groin. She slowly began to move her mouth with his finding a rhythm that made his head spin. He moved his hands from her back to the back of her thighs and lifted her to wrap her legs around him and backed her against the nearest tree. Nipping at her sensitive spots then flicking his tongue over them he provoked another moan from her and he began to lift up the bottom of her shirt.

"Father!"

Chapter 10-Summoned

"Shit." Lucius dropped Hermione and turned around, trying to keep her hidden behind him.

Hermione didn't object, she really didn't want to see Draco right now, especially not after just being caught snogging his father.

"Yes, son?"

"I-I um, wanted to talk to you, but if your busy…."

You kinda ruined the moment, Hermione thought savagely.

"No, go ahead and wait in the kitchen, I'll be there in a moment."

He waited for his son to disappear before walking Hermione up to her bedroom, while keeping her hidden, he dropped her off with a mumbled we'll talk about this later, and headed back down to the kitchen. Hermione watched him go with tears in her eyes, It's going to be like last time, he's just going to walk away and not talk to me! She shut the door and went to curl up on the bed.

As Draco heard his father take who ever it was upstairs he wondered, who is he seeing? Why does he have to keep her a secret? Even from me? I'm going to find out who she is.

Lucius put a silencing charm on the room as he stepped in but found out that hadn't been necessary. Hermione was fast asleep on the bed. Smiling, he sat down beside her and watched her sleep. She really was a good person, how could he ever manage to show her his tender side when it was buried so deep beneath his cold Death Eater exterior? He sighed, one day maybe it'd be possible, but as for now….

Muffling a curse his hand slapped to his left forearm. He was being summoned. He jumped up, scrawled a note to Hermione and hurriedly left, afraid of his master's wrath. When he arrived he forced his cold demeanor back to where he didn't want: front and center.

Hermione awoke and stood to go try the door. She found it magically locked. Now she was pissed at him. That is, until she turned around and found the note. She skimmed it over and smiled. Okay so she'd stay put…not that she had a choice.

Granger, I've been summoned, I will come back as soon as possible. I've locked you in because I don't want Draco to see you before I talked to him. So stay put okay?

Hermione went into the bathroom and began to fill tub. If she couldn't leave she might as well relax. As soon as the tub was filled with hot water and suds she undressed and sunk in. She sighed, she hoped nothing bad would happen to him.

Pacing his bedroom, Draco knew his father left now he had to find a way to see the woman. The question of who it was had been bugging him. He went downstairs and tried the door to his father's bedroom, he was shocked to find it was locked both by key and magical wards, he also could tell there was a silencing charm over the room. He cursed, he couldn't believe his father was so determined to keep this witch a secret. Fine.

Lucius trudged up the stairs and entered the bedroom, fumbling with the wards and stumbled to the empty bed. Empty? Where was she? Then he heard the water in the tub draining. Ah. He lay there waiting, when she appeared wrapped in her towel he smiled, she was beautiful. She was humming and running her fingers through her hair. About to drop her towel to change he decided it was a good time to make his presence known.

"If you'd prefer me to leave I will, but on the other hand I wouldn't mind staying."

She had spun around at his first words, now she was smiling slightly at his words. She scurried over to the bed and flung herself at him, giving him a giant hug. He laughed into her towel covered stomach.

"Glad to see me?" He asked.

"Are you alright?"

He sighed. "As well as I ever am after a gathering. I wish it was like a job I could just quit but I can't, he'd-"

"Kill you, I know."

On that note she grabbed her clothes and went to change in the bathroom. When she came back she climbed up on the bed and curled into his side. He draped his arm around her and sighed. His life would be perfect right now if Voldemort didn't exist and his all too curious son wasn't upstairs concocting ways to find out about Hermione.

"You know, it doesn't matter that you're a Death Eater."

"What?"

"It doesn't matter." She repeated.

She took his left arm in one hand and with the other, traced his dark mark with one finger. Her delicate touch making his skin tingle. She bent her head and placed a feathery kiss on the skulls mouth. It doesn't matter that you're a Death Eater. What had she meant by that exactly? Was she implying what he thought she was?

Lucius bent his head and brushed his lips against hers. He nearly laughed when she bent her head up for more. He kissed her again, this time running his tongue along her lips until she eagerly opened her mouth. After a moment he pulled away.

"I also wanted to talk to you about that."

"About what?"

"Us, what happened in the garden. If we are going to be…something I think we should take it slow."

Hermione laughed. "I'd say we're beyond certain point though yes?"

He looked at her confused for a second then grinned. "For instance, I'll be staying here tonight."
