My Thanks To All My Readers And Reviewers...Enjoy-S.S.
Snape's Bedroom, Spinner's End, Muggle World...
Ragged breathing had been the only sound that filled the room as Severus Snape's pale sweat blasted body had crashed onto the bed. He scooted as close to the far wall as he could get while the equally winded Virginia Holton crawled further onto the bed and collapsed onto him. Neither had said a word in the wake of their third act of frantic coupling that morning. The bed sheets had been tangled in their limbs as they attempted to gather their collective strength. Snape had a question that had been plaguing him ever since he had seen the strange scar along Virginia's arm but had not known the best way to approach it. His obsidian eyes met her amber ones as she pressed her soft lips into his pale ones.
"T-That was a hell of a distraction woman." he said slicking his sweat drenched raven hair back from his sallow pale face.
"I thought so." replied Virginia kissing his exposed pale chest.
"But the fact remains that I have questions." he replied.
"I didn't doubt that you would." she said meeting his gaze once more.
Taking a moment to lie on her back beside him in the rather small bed, she prepared herself for the soon to be launched rapid fire questions. Snape sat up looking over her exquisite nude form with heat behind his obsidian gaze despite having just sated his lust.
"That scar on your forearm..." he began unable to leave well enough alone. "Why those words...surely you aren't...?"
"A witch?" asked Virginia seeing no point in keeping at least this aspect of herself a secret from him for very long.
Snape had been caught off guard by her words. He had never considered that she might have been capable of magical aptitude. She had gave no indication of such a thing and it was a startling realization to say the least.
"I..." he began unable to fathom how to approach this new development. "You mean to tell me we've been taking the bloody car to get here and all this time you were capable of apparation?"
Virginia didn't say a word.
She got up from the bed and made her way toward the bedroom door.
Snape leapt from the bed fearful that he might have driven her away again.
"Wait." he said grabbing her arm and pulling her close to him.
"Let me go Severus." she said not wishing to stay in his presence any longer.
"No." he replied. "Look I won't pry into your past so long as you don't leave."
Standing in the center of his childhood bedroom, Snape continued to hold the woman whom had taken hold of his weary heart in against his exposed pale chest. It was quite a sight having the two of them sharing an seemingly random moment of vulnerability despite being devoid of clothing.
Virginia sighed and attempted to pull away from him.
"Severus I have to go." she said sadly. "T-This isn't going to work."
"I can't..." he replied in a broken voice that only made the tears continue to stream down her cheeks. "I can't not see you again...just please...we can forget this conversation ever happened..."
Virginia sighed once more noting his frantic expression.
"I don't know how to feel about you." she said. "When we're together it...it shouldn't be this...perfect."
Snape suddenly leaned down capturing her lips in a desperate kiss.
She had been caught off guard when he lifted her up off the floor carrying her back to the bed like she had been a bride being taken across a threshold. He lied her down amid the wrinkled white sheets and crawled onto the bed peppering her bare flesh with kisses in a bid to sway her from her thought of leaving him.
"Virginia could do little but moan as he did his best to appeal to her desire for him.
"You are a very calculating and manipulative man Severus Snape." she said giving in to his antics at last.
"All the better to keep you on your toes love." he replied before continuing to kiss her sweat slick body.
The auburn haired woman found that it was more or less difficult to ignore his persistence and remained contented to allowing him to further persuade her.

The Sitting Room, Spinner's End, Muggle World...
The fireplace had been lit and the warmth that spread all over the house had been welcome. The flickering yellow-orange flames had been a source of light as well with the numerous bowls spread along the hard wood rug covered floor. Virginia Holton had been sitting on the aforementioned rug with something of a black silk robe draped over her shoulders and a black silk scarf covering her eyes as Severus Snape sat beside her dipping his long pale finger into the nearest bowl and producing a piece of fruit that he rather sensuously touched to her soft pink lips.
"Try and guess this one." he said with something of an arrogant smile as she attempted to bite down on the rather juicy fruit before he pulled it back to just being out of he reach.
"You git." she said knowing full well that he had been amused.
In reply Snape pressed his pale lips into hers before allowing her to eat the piece of fruit.
Virginia seemed to be concentrating quite a bit as he watched her intently.
"That was...Ananas comosus.." said Virginia with a knowing smile. "Otherwise known as the Pineapple."
Snape smiled feeding her another cube of the yellow fruit from the bowl.
"Your turn." she said.
The Potions Professor allowed her to blindfold him. He had been quite amused to note that she kissed his neck in the process in a bid to create a distraction for him. It had been an understandable ploy given that he was ahead 5 to 3 and that his being a Potions Professor as well as a moderate cook gave him a distinct advantage.
Virginia reached into a bowl at random and pulled a cube piece of fruit like he had before and placed it into his waiting mouth.
No sooner had the cubed orange colored fruit hit his tongue, the Potions Master knew what it had been.
"Cucumis melo..." said Snape with a smirk. "Otherwise known as Cantaloupe also known as muskmelon."
Once more Severus Snape had won again.
"Care to go another round?" he asked.
""What for so you can win again?" she asked never understanding it.
Snape chuckled a bit before taking off the blindfold and pulling the pouting woman into his lap. She straddled his waist not at all letting up on her expression. The Potions Master kissed her neck chuckling a bit as he did.
"Close your eyes." he said.
"What for?" she asked.
"Just close them." he replied.
Due to curiosity getting the better of her, Virginia humored him and closed her eyes.
Snape ran his fingers along her back and began kissing her exposed breasts.
"What do you feel?" he asked almost losing himself in his own antics.
"I can feel you kissing me." she replied.
Snape sighed reluctantly pulling back from her.
"Try harder." he replied. "Look beyond the obvious notion of touch and simply feel."
Once more he kissed her exposed breasts and she let out a soft moan.
"What do you feel?" he asked again continuing his antics.
"I-I feel the heat from your lips." said Virginia biting back a moan. "I feel the tingling your kisses cause to shoot up my spine."
Snape smiled against her soft warm flesh.
"Good." he said. "Now apply that to your other senses."
He reached into a random bowl and took out another cubed piece of fruit.
This one had been red and quite naturally full of juice.
"Citrullus lanatus." said Virginia with a smile. "Otherwise known as Watermelon."
"Very good." he replied kissing her belly and grasping another cubed piece of fruit. "Try another."
This time he had chosen something a bit more difficult.
From the moment the slightly acidic and musky juices hit her tongue, Virginia seemed to know exactly what it had been.
"It's a passion fruit." she said. "Passiflora edulis."
"I believe you have the tools needed to master this game of ours love." said Snape in approval of her rather keen intellectual mind.
Virginia smiled opening her eyes as she leaned into her lover's arms.
"Can...well does this little trick of yours work with anything?" she asked with an arched brow.
Snape chuckled darkly as he returned to kissing the exposed flesh of her belly.
"It works for anything pertaining to focusing the senses." he replied. "Contrary to popular belief we use more than five in our daily lives it just so happens that there are five that we rely on the most when assessing new information...due to my past exploits and extensive study...I've mastered certain aspects of mine that are quite different from yours...but given enough time you could obtain your own level of effortless fluency."
The auburn haired woman had been impressed.
"You know you're incredibly sexy when you give a lecture." she said kissing his pale lips.
"And you are incredibly sexy when you play the roll of an attentive student." he replied as his eyes flickered with heat once again.
"Should we commence with class down here or should we retire to the bedroom for another lecture in biology?" asked Virginia in an enticing a manner.
"I suppose I could further impart my knowledge of the carnal arts with an eager pupil." he replied rather entranced by the prospect of bedding her again.
As he rose to join the already eager woman whom had taken him by the hand and lead him up the stairs, he had no idea how close his words had been to the truth given the object of his affections true identity.
