Chapter 14
I freeze for a fraction of a second, but then I feel my body responding even though a voice in the back of my head is telling me this is really, really stupid.
I take a step back to lean against the bookshelf behind me and pull Malfoy by the collar towards me without thinking. For a brief second, he pulls away and looks at me questioningly, like he's trying to read exactly what I'm thinking. But I close my eyes and press my lips to his as I enfold my arms around his neck and entangle a hand in his platinum blond hair.
He responds by pressing me into the book shelf and kissing me like I've never been kissed before. My mind goes fuzzy from a combination of his scent and the feel of his body against mine. I feel my heart pounding faster than it ever has as I unconsciously wrap my legs around his waist. I hear him mutter something, but can't pick out what it is. He pulls me closer and I feel his hands against the exposed skin on my lower back. My brain is half-heartedly telling me to pull away because nothing good can come of this, but the stronger part of my brain is telling me that this is worth it because I've never wanted anyone in my life as much as I want Scorpius Malfoy right now.
The next thing I know, I'm being carried briskly to the couch. Malfoy sits down with me still wrapped around him and I run my hands against his bare torso under his shirt. I loosen his tie slightly and unbutton his oxford, leaning into him.
What are you doing, Rose? I think to myself. But I ignore it as he pulls me even closer. I melt into him like this is something that was always meant to happen.
He then quickly flips us over so that I'm lying underneath of him, never stopping our kiss in the process. His hand squeezes the underside of my thigh as he moves his lips to my neck and I gasp slightly. He loosens my tie and pulls it over my head. I watch as he unbuttons my top three buttons, never taking his eyes off mine. He kisses my chest as he slips an arm under the small of my back and arches my body into his with a gentle pull.
Oh my God. I try to come to my senses, but Malfoy has worked his way to my neck again. I pull him up towards me and it's my turn to kiss him. I kiss his collarbone and I feel him hold me even more tightly. He whispers, "God, Weasley…" and I take this as a sign to continue.
"We can't do this…" he says quietly, but instead of stopping, he brings his hand to my cheek and kisses me deeply.
The only thing I can think is that this is not the kind of kiss two enemies share.
And with that kiss, the lust is replaced with something of a totally different nature. Malfoy leans his forehead against mine and locks eyes with me. We are both breathing heavily as silver meets sapphire. My mind is blank except for the want, the need, for him to kiss me again like he just did.
But he suddenly sits up to face the fireplace. I watch him closely as his face turns to something that looks suspiciously like realization.
He stands up abruptly and I follow suit.
"Malfoy…" I say, but he puts a hand on my arm and steps closer to me, stopping me in my tracks.
He looks at me for a brief second and then does the most surprising thing he's done all night.
He brushes his lips against my forehead.
I feel my heart racing and I know it's for vastly different reasons than it was five minutes ago.
He turns around quickly and walks to his bedroom, but before he closes the door behind him, he looks back at me.
"Goodnight, Weasley," he says quietly, and I see that emotion on face, plain as day. The emotion I've seen so fleetingly so many times. The emotion I've never been able to decipher.
But this time I know exactly what that emotion is, because it's the same one that I know is displayed across my face right now.
He closes the door and I'm left alone in sheer panic because I've just come to the realization that I don't hate Scorpius Malfoy after all.
