Chapter 14:

Bill opened his eyes and realised that they must have fallen asleep eventually.

He had so many things going though his head when he had lay down with Hermione, that he was unsure he would be able to sleep at all.

He smiled at the memories of finding out that they were still married and that they were also bonded. He rolled over towards his sleeping wife and smiled a mischievous smile, as the ideas of how to wake her up flew through his mind.

His fingers slid over the flawless smooth skin of her stomach, taking its time to travel over parts of her body, stimulating her nerves and senses while she slept.

As she moaned in her sleep, he let his fingers travel south, through the curls that lay over her mound, until he found her nub and started to draw circles over it with his fingers, her hips bucking involuntary.

Hermione's eyes fluttered open and she moaned her hips rising from the bed as his fingers penetrated her.

As his fingers slid in and out of her she grabbed him by his hair and pulled him down into a kiss.

They kissed furiously, his lips almost bruising in intensity. Breathing hard, mouths and tongues battling, as his fingers sped up to the same pace as their tongues.

She was gasping for air as their lips finally separated, her whole body tingling as he kissed passionately down her jaw, burying his face in her neck.

Her hips bucked again and her inner muscles contracted around his fingers as she spiralled into her first orgasm of the morning.

He pulled his fingers out of her, raised them to his lips, but before he could put them in his mouth, his wrist was seized and his fingers enveloped by Hermione's hot mouth, her tongue wrapped around his digits cleaning them of her own cum.

Bill whimpered, as every stroke of her tongue sent tingles straight to his groin, making him harder then he thought possible.

Removing his fingers from his wife's mouth, he thread them through her hair so he could control her movements, and started to nip at her throat, lick down her collar bone and finally sucked a nipple into his mouth, as he moved over her, positioned himself and thrust into her hot, tight core reviling in the breathy moans vibrating through their now joined bodies.

Each thrust of his hardness inside her seemed to crush the bundle of nerves between her thighs, her clit sparking every time he ground into her.

Her hands spread over his shoulders and she could feel the muscles in his back tense and release as he thrust into her, hips pistoning against her own.

She screamed his name, as she climaxed again. Bill moaned loudly into the crook of her neck, as her inner walls clamped around him sending him over the edge, his cock spurted inside her, warm fluid filling her body.

He rolled off her onto his side, sated from their love making and pulled her back against his chest, trying to slow his furiously beating heart and even faster breathing.

"Mmm, I love you Wife," Bill growled into her neck.

"And I you Husband," Hermione replied.

After resting their bodies for an hour Bill figured now was probably a good a time as any to talk to Hermione about Christmas. He rolled over and gazed at her, took a deep breath and prepared himself for what ever her reaction would be.

"Hermione luv,"

"What's wrong sweets?" Hermione asked rolling over to face her husband.

"I never got the chance to tell you this before everything happened, but I got an owl from my mum inviting me and my other half to the burrow for Christmas."

The smile that had been fixed on Hermione's face disappeared almost instantly at those words.

"Oh um, Bill your family hates me right now, and they don't even know that we are together as a couple, let alone married, maybe it would be best if you went alone, my presence will just ruin the day that is meant for family."

Bill took hold of Hermione's chin, "But you are my family Hermione, my new family, the one that I need more then anything in this world."

Tears fell from Hermione's eyes before she could stop them she buried her face into the crook of Bill's neck and started to sob.

Stifling the last of her sobs she took a deep breath and looked up into Bill's eye's

"I'm sorry I don't know what's gotten into me, that was the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me Bill, I love you so much."

Bill smiled at his wife, "Hermione eventually they are going to find out about us, I think it would be best if we defuse the situation now, rather then later, because the longer we leave it the worse it will get."

Hermione sighed, she knew that he was right, she nodded at him knowing he would realise what it meant without her having to use words and smiled, still worried, into his chest as she was engulfed by his strong arms.

Hermione and Bill packed what they needed for a weeks holiday in London. They had come to a decision eventually that they thought would be best for everyone's sanity, mainly theirs, they would spend Christmas day at the burrow but they would be staying in a hotel room for the duration of their holiday hoping that having a place they could go to if they needed at any time would decrease the stress they were under.

They knew that there would be shouting and might even have a few hexes thrown around, but they hoped to defuse the situation before it got to violence.

As they portkeyed to their hotel room they took a deep breath and started to unpack their belongings.

Three days was enough time to unwind from the stresses of work and just enough time for them to realise whatever happened at the burrow, would happen no matter what, so they shouldn't worry about things they can't and don't really want to change. So once they realised everything was inevitable, they decided it was time to relax and enjoy their time together, because they had earned it.

Standing behind her on their balcony, hands on either side of her hips holding the rail he smiled and started to nuzzle into her neck.

"Mmm, Hermione, Sweet, did you realise that this will be our first Christmas together as husband and wife?"

Hermione smiled at him as she turned to face him, her arms going up around his neck.

"This would be the best Christmas I have ever had. No matter what happens tomorrow, you are everything I have always wanted and everything I will ever need Bill, you are my husband, my soul mate for all eternity and I can not think of a better Christmas gift, or a better way to live the rest of my life, then with you."

Bill took her lips in a passionate kiss. That was something no one had ever said to him before and he was suddenly very pleased that every other thing in his life had gone wrong, because it all led him to this moment, and most importantly to her.
