Two Lives
Chapter 11:
A very angry and pissed off Severus Snape.
Gulping, Jade stood away from him, not wanting to be hit again. He was mumbling under his breath pacing back and fourth in front of her, not even looking or showing he knew she was there. She didn't like that, having never been ignored by Severus before.
"I'm sorry," she said hoarsely.
"What!" yelled Snape. Calming slightly he said "Oh, it's not you. Guess what? Nathan is coming for you. They sent him home; congrats he will be here tomorrow."
"What?" she said. She could not believe this was happening! Nathan was coming home, coming to get her. Shaking, she realized how much she didn't want to go back to him.
"No!" she yelled.
Severus was to her before she knew it, cuddling her for all he was worth. If she was only going to have tonight then he was going to make sure she remembers it. Wiping the tears from her eyes he shushed her with his mouth. He wanted to taste every bit of her. The kiss was desperate, needy and Jade knew it was saying goodbye. All she could think was that it was going to be a long goodbye.
With a sigh she leaned into the kisses. She had only been with Severus twice. He was offering again and she was not going to deny herself or him anything. It took Severus a while to get the clothes from her. Taking his off he pleasured Jade for all he was worth.
Severus led her to his room. They both slid onto the bed, he climbing on top of her. Jade wiggled at the feeling of Severus over her.
Severus placed his other hand on the small of Jade's back to keep her still as he nipped a bit of flesh between his teeth and lips, Jade crying out and writhing. He was careful to keep from causing too much pressure, even though he wanted to bite down and pull at Jade's nipples. He didn't want to scare her. He pulled back, releasing the nipple with a pop, looking down at a panting Jade.
She could not say a word, not thinking she wanted to anyway. Severus didn't seem to want her to as he went back to exploring. When he got to the place he wanted to be, he made sure she was slick enough for him to enter before thrusting home where he belonged. Jade cried out with pleasure at the feeling of Severus hitting her sweet spot. He continued to pound into his lover enjoying every second of it.
With one last pounding thrust, Severus pushed himself deep into the hungry heat of his lover and rocked his hips trying to crawl inside her as spurt after spurt emptied from him. He closed his hand over Jade's as he shook. Turning over, he cuddled Jade to him. She was now too far gone, to exhausted to even move. She fell asleep without the help of dreamless sleep.
Severus breathing heavily eventually calmed down before he too was off to dreamland. He for the first time slept without trouble, which surprised him. He was not used to sleeping soundly, needing dreamless sleep potion as well.
Waking up blinking, Severus wondered why he had a feeling of dread in his stomach. Then he remembered. The Dark Lord had called and told him Nathan had been kicked from the trip and would be coming for Jade. Also he said if Severus brewed potions, Jade might be his to play with. That made him smirk at the man, hiding his elation.
Severus looked over at Jade and could not help but dread what this day would bring. Would he ever get to hold Jade in his arms again? Would he ever see her again? Would she be hurt all the time? Would he ever be able to heal her? Thinking back to when he had first brought her here, he found himself worried. He didn't want Jade hurt, not even for a minute.
With a sigh he sat there petting her hair and smoothing her face with his hands, thinking about last night. It had been the best he could have given her and he knew she enjoyed it more than the other too that was for sure. He loved Jade, he really did and he wanted to give her something to remember him by.
"I'm going to miss you, you know," said Jade, making Severus stop. He had thought she had been asleep. Obviously not.
"And I you," said Severus, starting to run his fingers up and down her cheek. She leaned into the loving caress and sighed. 'Yes I'm really going to miss this.' She had loved Severus for so long and her dreams had come true even if only for a while.
"I have a feeling he will hit me when we are still in the manor. He knows I love you and would want to rub it in my face that you don't," said Jade softly. Severus did not want to correct her; he didn't want to admit he loved her. He knew they would never be together and to love someone you are never going to be with is hard. Even more so if you admit it in front of said person.
"I want you to promise me that you will go along with that. Don't stop him or anything please," said Jade. She knew something much worse was going to happen to her, knowing Nathan more than she ever wanted to.
"I promise," he said, thinking he was making it for nothing. However, he should have listened to Jade for she knew what she was talking about. She knew him better than Voldemort, his parents or his fellow Death Eaters.
"Good," she said with a sigh.
She had breakfast, hardly eating anything. She had to get used to hardly getting anything to eat again. Nathan hardly fed her and never left her alone for long, meaning she could never sneak food. Not that she would want the food in that manor anyway. It was horrible and stale. Nathan usually brought fresh food home, but only enough for him and a small portion for her.
The floo flared, causing Jade to tense and she turned into the person she had been when she came. There was no emotion on her face accept fear. The blow Severus had landed her two days ago was still there. She thought perhaps they could get away with him thinking she had just gotten it right now. Clutching her cheek Severus realized she was playing her part. He of course played along.
"Ah Severus, I hope you have been taking care of what is mine," said Nathan, looking worse for wear. His clothes were dirty and bloody and he was shaking slightly as if he had been under the Cruciatus curse.
"I have," said Severus curtly turning into his role as Spy within a blink of an eye.
"Well let me see...what why have you healed her! I didn't give you permission," snarled Nathan.
"Watch your mouth, I'm the favorite to our Lord and I will do as I like," said Snape.
"WHAT? I will tell him you are healing her! I had a job to break her!" snarled Nathan.
"Yes, and you are not doing a good job either," Said Severus. Wishing he could take that back. Now Nathan was going to end up being harder on Jade and it would be his fault. He wished he could apologize to her but knew he could not.
"I will be telling our lord," smirked Nathan. He didn't like the fact that someone other than himself had the spot as the Dark Lord's second. He knew the others would destroy him and realized that was why Malfoy and the others had hurt him as bad as they did. He was no longer the Dark Lord's favorite. Malfoy had been jealous as well as annoyed that it was not him who had the second spot as the Dark Lord's favorite.
"Go ahead. He will learn that this bitch sneaked into my potions lab and stole from me! She took healing potions so all the marks I had on her were gone!" sneered Snape, apologizing in his head for calling Jade anything of the sort, knowing she would not hear.
"Really?" said Nathan turning his steel cold eyes to Jade, causing her to flinch. She knew what was coming and was not looking forward to it one bit.
Before either Severus or Jade knew it, Nathan was over to Jade slapping her face. She fell back onto the floor going limp, knowing fighting him was useless and if she didn't struggle it didn't hurt so much. Jade's eyes glazed over as she thought of what Severus must be thinking of her. She didn't like those thoughts at all.
Severus watched, his eye twitching slightly as Nathan hit the woman he loved. He hated woman beaters and Nathan was the worst of the lot. How could he have thought Jade had liked him and left him for Nathan bloody Nott? It was stupid and so unthinkable.
He watched, showing no emotion not interfering as she was raped brutally. Thankfully it was over in ten minutes, but to Jade and Severus it felt like hours. Jade fell unconscious after what Nathan had done. It was a relief. Severus let out a sigh when Jade fell unconscious. At least she was not feeling the pain.
"Are you quite finished?" asked Severus. He was glad the pain and shame was not in his voice, but he could feel the pain and shame slam home into his chest. Making his chest hurt. He didn't think he could handle this.
"Yes," said Nathan out of breath.
"Good then get out of my manor," said Severus.
Nathan was gone within minutes. Severus then fell to the floor shoulders shaking, unable to believe this had happened. 'Jade had known! She had known this was going to happen!' thought Severus as he remembered the promise she had asked of him earlier that day.
