Gringotts Prompt Bank (Pairing – Draco/Lavender), Getting Around Challenge (Draco/Lavender)
It was purely physical between them. That's what they told themselves. After all, he was a Death Eater and she worked for the Order. They shouldn't have even taken the moment to get together. However, as she dug her fingers into his back as he pushed against her, Lavender couldn't help but wonder how long this would last. She wanted it to last.
"Careful," she muttered, "watch the bruise."
"Sorry," Draco replied. He shifted, doing well to keep his thigh from pressing against the deeply set bruise along her lower thigh.
"Not your fault," she threw her head back, trying not to gasp as he danced kisses down her neck. "Don't stop that."
He chuckled into her neck, and Lavender felt her body tingle. He very rarely laughed, never smiled – at least not for the world to see. Feeling the welts and scars along his shoulders, she understood why. It was a dangerous world they were living in; no matter what side you were on.
But in this room, with each other, Lavender felt safe. It was one of the few places that she felt that way.
She was falling for him. Of maybe she was just falling for the way he made her feel.
