A/N: SPOV
He was captivated by her, and needed to know if she was willing. She had nodded, and he had bared himself to her in a way that he had only done once before.
But as much as he wanted her kiss, what he needed was her trust and acceptance. Her submission would convey that, but he at least needed to know that he was needed by her.
Her taste was sweet and warm; not overly sweet, just a delicious flavor that he was able to savor as she was against the bookshelf. He thought hearing her moan would undo him; he had quite a fetish for the sounds he could make another utter under his control.
But the flick of her tongue had excited him, making him reply in kind. His passion was being forced to be unleashed; he wasn't used to the intensity that he seemed to have tonight, but was willing to go with it. She was responding and he wanted to claim her. Her neck is oh so naked, he thought playfully as he pulled away from her lips, chuckling with that look of dark masculine knowledge in his eyes.
"Witch, I'm very tempted to take you home and chain you to my bed 'till morning." He paused, collecting himself slightly. "But that would be inappropriate without having terms discussed, contracts written out, and a full review of your list. That all being said, it is late. And I'm not sure if you share a room with another Auror, I doubt the Ministry spared the expense.
"You do not belong to me as of yet, and that is why I am being so cautious. Suggestive, yes." He kissed her lips quickly. "Assertive, obviously." His lips and teeth took a firm hold of her neck and he savored the noises she was making. "Possessive..." He clamped his hands onto the smallest part of her waist, the closeness of their bodies proved to her how aroused he had become. "...only if you agree to it, my dear."
He stepped away from her, feeling winded as if he had flown a marathon. His body tingled, aching with need to be with her again. To assert himself over her, within her, and collar her as his own.
Taking his wand in his hand, he unlocked the library, and went over to finish his brandy.
"If you come to my quarters tonight, I shall devour you and quench a desire that has been long ignored within myself. I will equally strive to bring you wholly and completely if you wish it. If at any time you wish me to cease, say the word and I shall."
Severus' burning gaze at her ended as he closed his eyes for a few seconds, pressed his lips shut, and summoned his blank mask of indifference as he strode out of the library.
A voice called out, "I didn't know you were still here, Severus."
"Not any longer." He replied, slamming the door as he left, freeing the portrait to screech at her black little heart's content.
"FILTH! MUDBLOOD LOVERS AND TRAITORS TO THE OLD WAYS!"
With Mrs. Black screaming, nobody could hear the gentle pop of apparition as Severus went back to his quarters, unsure of where the night would take him.
