Chapter Eleven: Animal Instinct

That night Harry was half asleep as Tom carried him up and to their rooms, laying the sleepy teen down he brushed some of his ebony hair back and smiled at him. Pulling the boots off the teen he removed the robe and picked Harry up to pull the blankets back and lay him down a second time, this time he was asleep, covering him up he moved to the bathroom and got in the shower. When he came out Harry was already curled into the blankets as if he were the king of the bed, sliding in next to him he pulled the lithe teen against himself and drifted off.

The next morning Harry woke first and was confused as to why he was in someones arms, then the memories of the wedding came back and with that came the headache from the wine Draco kept giving him, whimpering he burrowed into Tom's side trying to hide from the light of the sun, "Oh you're awake," Tom chuckled, moving his hand casually the curtains closed,and Harry slide back out of the blankets, "Headache?" getting a nod he summoned the teen some tea, "This will help."

"Thanks," Harry said softly drinking the tea slowly he waited a few moments and the headache vanished, "My memory goes blank right around the cake being served...what happened after that?"

"Well not much really, you pretty much fell asleep so I brought you inside and decided it was best for you to just sleep it off," hearing music he sighed, "Though I think our guests might still be partying down stairs with out us," getting a shrug he asked, "Wonder if Dumbledore even knows we married last night..."

"He does, I sent him a letter yesterday," Harry said with a small smirk, "Asked him if it was too much of an inconvenience for him to come, which he couldn't because he had a trail he had to go to involving one of his Order members," getting hugged close he smiled softly.

"You are trying to make him regret his decision aren't you," Tom chuckled kissing the teens exposed throat, feeling Harry shiver at the touch he smiled against his throat, "Ticklish?"

"Yes," Harry answered, he broke into giggles as Tom began to kiss his throat front to back and left it only to pull back and blow cool-air onto the moist skin, "St-stop that's mean," he gasped out.

"Heh, my bad but Harry I..." gazing at the teens face he sighed and flopped back onto the pillow and closed his eyes, he wanted the teen but also knew that if he was to just try and take advantage he would scare his husband away from him, however, because of the contract they had a week to consummate the bond. Getting the teen to curl to his side he sighed, "The contract..."

"I know," Harry said, he knew where Tom was going and smiled softly against his chest, "I'm okay with it...I'm not going to lie and say I'm not afraid of you, because I am terrified...but I know you won't intentionally hurt me...but..." hiding his face he mumbled, "You're the only person who will ever see me like that and it scares me..."

"Oh Harry," Tom pulled him up to gaze in his eyes with a smile, "I promise you here and now that I will treasure you and never use anything that might happen between us against you,"getting a sad look he chuckled at him, "What's wrong?"

Looking away Harry mumbled something, that something sounded suspiciously like, "What if I'm no good," which made Tom smile and chuckle softly.

"I highly doubt that Harry, you can tell if some one is going to be bad at sex in the way they act," Tom said, he gt a look that mainly demanded he explain and smiled, "See that look proves it, you my dear sweet husband happen to be a spit fire, a little hellion and I'm certain that you will be one of two things while having sex," tracing Harry's cheek he smiled, "You will either be very bold and daring or you will be meek and angelic when it comes to sex, or with our luck you'll be both."

"A meek hellion...hmm," Harry leaned up on one elbow as if thinking about what that would be like, "Might be fun-" getting tugged close and kissed soundly he melted against him, this was their first really intense kiss and he liked it.

"We should...go greet our guests," Tom said softly dropping butterfly kisses across Harry's face, getting a nod he smiled as the teen retreated into the bathroom, hearing the shower he could not help it he peeked, getting a great view of the teens nude back he slipped in the room and made sure not to make a sound as he watched Harry shower.

Turning Harry yelped, "Tom!" turning away from him he blushed from head to toe, "What are you doing!" not getting an answer he peeked over his shoulder and froze for Tom was stripping down, looking away he yelped again when the other man slide in behind him, "Tom!"

"Harry," Tom said sweetly, "We're gonna see each other naked in the future, thought a shower was a good idea to introduce the concept to you," he chuckled pulling the teen back against his chest he washed him down, by the end of their shower they were both really relaxed, Harry was casually leaning back against him while Tom nipped at his throat and shoulder. Pulling him out of the shower Tom wrapped a towel around the teens body and laughed as he shook his head like a dog, "Truly part of the Pack you are!"

"Can't help myself," Harry said shrugging, "Animal instinct."

"Instinct huh," Tom said turning a slightly predatory smile to the teen he smirked, "I'll show you animal instinct, "and so began their chase, Harry lost the towel on his way into the bedroom and was pinned naked to the bed by his equally naked husband who kissed him senseless, pulling back Tom chuckled and kissed him once more, "Okay time to get dressed," he was introducing Harry to the sensations of what it would be like when they finally did have sex so that the teen would not be as nervous.
