Hello lovelies! I'm SO SO sorry that it took me this long to update this! It's just that school and a lot of other things got in the way and not to mention I had SERIOUS writer's block for this one chapter! But I finally got it! This chapter isn't as long as I had wanted to be honest, but honestly, at this point, I just wanted to get this chapter out because I felt so bad for neglecting it for the longest time. I don't know when I'll be able to get the next chapter up since I'm really busy this holiday season but I will do my best to try and get something up. I'm really sorry again for leaving this alone for the longest time and thank you to everyone that has stayed and followed my story :) Now, onto the chapter!

The next morning, I woke up filled with a strange sense of euphoria. I didn't know how to explain it, but I woke up feeling happier and more fulfilled than I had in a long time and I didn't know why. I opened my eyes and saw clothes and shoes strewn all over the bedroom floor. All of a sudden, everything came flooding back to me in incredible detail.

Hands moving all over while making quick work of shirts.

Sweet, sweet kisses placed all over each other, repeatedly.

Just thinking about what happened sent a shiver down my spine. All of a sudden, I felt an arm draped over me. I gently turned around and saw Draco snoring softly next to me, his chest rising up and down gently. I propped myself up on my elbow next to him and for what felt like the longest time, I stared at him. I made sure to commit every single detail of his body to my memory; the angular line of his jaw, the structure of his shoulders; everything. After, I made sure that he was asleep, then I gently ran my hand down his chest. I started at his neck, then I slowly made my way down. All of a sudden, a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist and stopped me.

"That tickles" Draco murmured breathily. I chuckled as he relaxed his grip and I moved closer to him.

"How're you feeling?" he asked me quietly.

"I don't know. There are so many things running through my mind right now I can't really pinpoint one feeling." I whispered in his ear.

"Well, I feel pretty damn good to be honest." Draco told me. I laughed, how could he be so calm after what had just happened between the two of us, after what I had just done?

"Well I'm glad that you can be calm and have coherent thoughts." I retorted. Draco laughed at me then pulled me closer.

"Oh trust me, I am not calm, and I am certainly not coherent." he whispered in my ear. I felt a shiver run down my spine.

"I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one." I said breathily. Draco laughed at me again, noticing that his voice had a very powerful effect on me.

"It's just, I never imagined that something could feel so...good." I admitted sheepishly. I looked at Draco, expecting him to make some kind of snide remark or comment, but he didn't say anything; he just kept looking at me, as if he were trying to study me like I was a rare species of bird.

"I mean, I had been kissed before, but none of it ever felt right, you know? I feel like-" I took a deep breath; after I said this, there was no going back.

"Like what love?" Draco asked me, with a slight hint of concern in his voice.

"Like I was waiting for last night my entire life." I told him softly, looking down. There it was, how I truly felt, out in the open. I couldn't take that back anymore. There was a moment of silence in the room; I felt myself growing nervous; should I not have said that? Did he feel the same way? Should I have just kept my mouth shut? I opened my mouth to say something else, but just when I did, I felt Draco press his lips to mine. I stiffened at first, but after I got over the initial shock, I began to kiss him back, and as I did, memories from last night resurfaced in my mind; fresh and sharp like a brand new quill. After a moment, Draco pulled away and began to whisper in my ear.

"Oh Hermione, I've been waiting for last night for my entire life too." he pulled back and looked me straight in the eye. I could tell that he was completely sincere. I felt a warm glow spread in my body as I began to kiss him. As he began to kiss me back, I felt him use one hand to roam my body and the other to pull the sheets back over our heads, and as he did, a small part of my mind was able to squeeze one thought out before it became consumed with "Draco"

"I could get used to this."

I hope you liked it! I'm really sorry about the length, but I just wanted to get this chapter out. I will try and make the next chapter better. I have a pretty good idea for it too :) Please review (and please be kind!)
