Chapter 52

Lucius gaped like a fish at his saucy witch, who flounced out of bed. She was trying to be strong despite the figurative slap in the face by Potter. He was glad that on some level, he and Severus were part and parcel as to why she has been able to hold onto a facade of being strong through this. Still, he hadn't thought she would bounce back and be so cheeky; Lucius was somewhat hesitant to admit he was enjoying this new side of Hermione.

He saw the gentle and loving smile on Sev's face and loved the way that it softened the harsh features of his darker lover. Lu knew it was because of the beautiful witch who seemed to brighten up any room she walked into. She had certainly brightened up their lives from the very moment she had shown up outside of their home. He hoped that her light never left their lives and home. He knew that both he and Sev would do anything to keep her there.

Lu was lost in daydreams about Hermione and how much their lives had changed in just three short days that he totally missed the positively steamy rumble of Severus' voice talking to him. Finally Severus was able to break through.

"Lu? Lucius… LU!"

"Huh? Oh what? Sorry love. Seemed to be wool gathering there Sev…"

Severus chuckled and smiled obligingly at Lucius. "Oh, I know. I was calling for you for a moment before you returned to reality, here. You know Lu, you don't have to daydream about her or even imagine what it would be like once she is in our lives. Hermione is here. She is ours and I, for one, am not going to let her escape anytime soon."

Lu smiled at Severus and was amazed at just what a turn of events had taken place for all of them in what seemed like a blink of an eye. Sev's gentle smile reminded him that this was in fact real. The fact that he could still feel the warmth of Hermione being in his arms just a few minutes ago also helped cement everything in his mind. It was absolutely wonderous that this was finally happening for them. Something that he and Sev had spent 20 years thinking was a pipe dream was actually happening and it still made Lucius want to pinch himself in disbelief.

With a grin Severus followed Hermione into her wardrobe and Lucius flopped back on Hermione's bed with a smile so wide his cheeks were starting to hurt. He could heard the playful shriek followed by the giggles from Hermione and the dark rumble of Severus' chuckle. It was the most perfect thing Lucius had ever heard.

It was difficult to resist every urge in his body to jump out of the bed while both of his lovers were distracted and run into Potter's suite. He still wanted to have Harry at the end of his wand begging for forgiveness, but Hermione had all but promised to overlook one hex or curse so he had to make it a good one. Lucius also had to make sure that it didn't leave any permanent damage. That didn't mean that it couldn't serve as a reminder for more than few seconds. His grin only grew as he began to plot and plan.

After a few moments and a few more giggles from the other room, he saw Hermione run out of the closet, smile at him lounging on the bed and then dash into her ensuite and he heard the distinct sound of the muggle lock turning. He also felt locking wards being put over the door to that room. He simply raised his eyebrows at the smug looking Severus who came sauntering out of the closet with his hair mussed and a smile that should have been outlawed, it was so sinful. It was also not lost on Lucius the large tent in the front of Sev's sleeping pants.

Lucius made a show of pointing his eyes to the erection and with a lecherous grin said to Severus, "Have fun in there, did you?"

The self-satisfied smile that Severus was sporting seemed to only grow even larger, which Lucius hadn't thought possible. It also simply lit up Sev's face and made him look younger and even more handsome. It almost took Lu's breath completely away. He had always found Sev to be handsome, but seeing him so happy and carefree now that they had Hermione, it just brought a new glow about the man he loved and it was awe inspiring. Lucius was so blown away he almost missed when Severus responded with an slight laugh behind his voice.

"Oh Lu it turns out our little witch is quite ticklish… she squirms in the most delightful way when she's trying to escape it. She is so lush and delightful, Lu, this was a happy side effect of having her squirm against me. It is a lovely, delicious and quite frankly Lu delightful response to having her curves against me…"

"Oh, I am sure it was delightful, Sev. You know how much I love her curves and her form. I could hear her sweet laugh from here and I can't wait to have more of that in this house. We have needed her for so long and I am so amazed at how quickly she has swooped in and brightened up our lives… It is more than I could have hoped for." Severus was nodding along with everything that Lu said and had an expression of just pure joy on his face. It quickly changed to surprise with the next few words that Lu said.

Lucius started to slither out of bed and stand in front of Severus while saying,"You were also right about another thing though Sev… That is quite a delicious side effect that Hermione seems to create in both of us. Since our witch seems to have locked us out of her bathroom… well it leaves us two options."

Lucius slid onto his knees and reached for the knot that still tied Severus' robe closed. Sev's bright and cheery grin had turned into a positively carnal smirk, he was clearly quickly getting the hint at to what at least one of the solutions would be for his not so little problem. Severus had been a bit disappointed that Hermione, after a bit of snogging and tickling, had run off to take a bath and locked the door. He had so wanted to join her in her tub, but he also knew that would most likely be pushing her too far too fast. Especially with the morning she had just had, so while he was slightly disappointed to not being able to splash around with a soapy Hermione, this was going to more than make up for it.

Severus allowed his robe to drop to the floor and puddle around his feet. Lucius was rubbing his the bare skin right above the low slung pajama pants that he was wearing. He could feel the goosebumps rising along where Lu was lightly brushing his fingers around the top of silk pajama pants. The pants which were normally so cool and comfortably now felt like a luxurious prison for his now throbbing hot cock.

Lu looked up at him through lust glazed eyes and licked his lips. In a husky voice Lu reminded Severus that there were in fact two options, "You know, Sev, like I said there are two options here. I can let you take care of this." After saying that Lu firmly grabbed Severus' cock through his pajama pants and grinned with a suggestive look in his eye.

Then he looked up at Severus and said, "But we both don't want that… do we, Sev? Hermione is probably taking a bath am I right? So we have a bit of time and I would love to help you with this." Severus nodded eagerly at Lucius, agreeing with all he said and wanting his help so desperately with what was now becoming a slightly painful problem.

Lucius started to toy with the string of Sev's pants and had a positively devilish smirk on. He was clearly enjoying toying with his partner and clearly loving being able to have fun and drawing out Sev's suspense. He began to slowly pull the string and said, "You are nodding your head yes Sev. Yes to my help or yes to Hermione most likely taking a while in the bathroom? Do you think she would mind us borrowing her room for a bit? She did seem to enjoy watching us yesterday, didn't she, love…"

Sev moaned aloud as Lu undid the rest of the bow holding up his pajama pants and let them pool at his feet. When Lu blew a warm breath on Sev's bobbing cock. With that tease, whatever block Severus had on talking broke and in a cracked yet still dulcet voice he began to plead. Lucius thought briefly to himself that he was fairly certain doing this would have been a better interrogation technique than even veritaserum. Certainly not as truthful but he was sure in that moment he could get Severus to answer any question he wanted. Still he wanted to hear just a bit of pleading from Sev before he gave in.

"Yes. Yes to all of it Lu… please, please, please suck my cock. Oh god, please touch it again. Seeing you down there on your knees practically begging for it is one of the most obscenely suggestive things I've ever seen, and Merlin I just want to slide my cock into those perfect lips, Lu. Yes she is taking a bath, but Circe, I hope she walks in on this again. The only thing hotter than you sucking my cock would be our witch watching you as you did. Oh, I will beg however you want Lu but god, please touch me again. For the love of magic, touch me…" and then his pleas turned into an inarticulate moan.

Lucius wrapped his hand around the base of the nearly purple cock that was wagging at him, nearly perfectly lined up for with his mouth. It was glistening and weeping from the tip and Lucius was suddenly hungry for it. Hearing Sev beg was simply icing on the cake and it certainly helped that his lover's voice seemed to get even more delicious and erotic the more turned on he got.

Taking pity on the what looked like extremely painful erection that Severus was sporting, Lucius decided to start to provide some relief. He blew lightly again on the weeping tip, and physically felt and saw Severus' body shiver all over. With a sadistic grin, Lucius then leaned down a bit farther and blew on the sensitive underside and Sev's moans only got louder and more pronounced.

When he reached the base of Sev's cock Lucius leaned forward a bit and began to lave and lick at his lover's balls. He loved the salty taste of them and knew it was a kink that Severus enjoyed more than most. They had built up such trust in each other that they had very few secrets or hidden pleasures and Lucius made a note to himself to let Hermione in on this particular kink of Sev's.

"Ohmygod, yes, Lu! YES! Fuck! Suck on my balls please… oh fuck!"

Lucius had been expecting it but it was still a bit jarring to feel Sev's hand grasp onto his hair rather harshly. He was rather glad that hair pulling was one of the things he loved. Otherwise his long, elegant locks would have been shorn quite a while ago thanks to Sev's penchant to grab fairly harshly with his strong hands. Sev used his grip on Lucius' hair to direct him even closer to his balls, which were beginning to draw closer and closer to his lover's body.

Lucius knew that if he didn't stop toying with Sev soon, this blow job was going to be over before he could even really start it. He pumped his hand up and down Sev's turgid length one last time before pulling off of his lover's tight and sensitive scrotum with a pop. The groan that Severus let loose when he did release the delicate sack was music to Lu's ears and he rose up and let his tongue draw up the length of the swollen and throbbing cock.

He let Sev keep his hand threaded in his hair and even allowed his lover to press him forward into taking the close to exploding cock into his mouth. Lucius was no fool, he knew how much Sev loved being in control. So while the dark haired wizard would beg and plead when Lu really wanted him to, all of their sexual adventures would usually end with Severus being in control in some way, shape or form.

Reaching his hand into his own pajama bottoms before he got too lost in the delicious cock that filled his mouth and throat, Lucius freed his own aching member. He began to stroke it in time with his movements up and down Sev's cock. Severus seemingly controlled those movements with each push of his head and pull on Lu's hair to bring him back. Severus always liked to push Lu's limits slightly when playing these sexual games. He always knew when to stop, but also knew that Lucius like to lose control just as much as he liked to have it. Thus he had no compunction about the fact that Lu started to gag as Sev pushed him to take his cock down to the root. Lu spluttered a bit but then continued to bob along his lover's cock while moving his hand rapidly along his own.

Lu took back some of the control when Sev's movements started to stutter. He knew that Sev was getting close because he was losing some of that tightly wound control that he so valued. Lucius loved driving Sev to this point before taking him over the edge. The grunts from his dark haired lover were getting louder and his hand was still tangled in Lu's long blonde locks, but it was no longer directing how deep or fast Lucius was moving on his cock.

"Oh Melin… Oh god. Fuck please. I am so close… I am going to cum. Merlin I am going to cum down your throat Lu. Take it all Lu. Take it...LUUUU!"

With that final shout from Severus, he retook control slightly and pushed Lucius all the way to the root of his cock and released his load into Lu's mouth and almost straight down his blonde lover's throat.

At almost the same time as he felt the warm release of Severus flooding his tongue and mouth, Lucius also came all over his hand, pajama pants and the carpet on Hermione's floor. He could feel Severus holding onto his head almost as a lifeline and the shaky legs that came from that post orgasmic high.

Lu leaned back off of his knees and sat on the ground and whispered a spell to clean up the mess he had made. He made a lazy grin and looked up at Severus who still had his eyes closed and a blissed out looked on his face. Lucius loved seeing that look and loved that he was the one to have caused it. Seeing that smile on Sev's face and realizing it was a simple pleasure that brought it there, Lucius realized that the other member of their triad needed to have a reason to smile.

He knew however that they couldn't push her too far sexually before she was ready and he was fairly certain that though they had been progressing rapidly, she probably would like to slow down just a bit. Lucius also wanted to show her that despite all the upheaval that had taken place, that he and Sev were very serious about properly courting her. Well, at least somewhat properly. They were not about to give up the physical aspect that they had already started and he was willing to bet Hermione would be unwilling to give it up either.

Looking up at Sev, who had managed to regain some of his bearings, he smirked at his darker lover. It would be immediately evident to his lover that Lu was up to something. Sev finished tying up his pajama pants and was looking patiently at Lu, raising his eyebrow as if inferring that he was waiting for whatever new scheme Lu had cooked up.

Lucius got the hint and in a still slightly husky voice started to explain his idea to Sev. "Sev, I love seeing you smile like this, my heart. I think that we need to make our lovely witch smile after everything that has happened, and with this business with Potter. We should get her out of the house and take her on a date tonight. I think I can get Draco to assist with getting everything moved up, but I really believe that rather than waiting this could be a nice way to show her this isn't all about sex for us. It also would be nice to let Potter stew over his apology and what he has done. I think that she needs to feel special and cared for and I think that taking her out and pampering her could be just one way to do that."

"Lu do you really think that we can organize that in only a few hours? Your plans with Drake were more than a bit elaborate. I mean, I would love to take Hermione out. Don't doubt that in the slightest. However, I want her first date with us, really her first date ever, to be something truly special. Not rushed and slapped together." Severus was clearly open to the idea but slightly unconvinced that it could be pulled off in less than a day. It was already almost noon and Lu knew it was a long shot but he was going to do his damndest to make it work.

"Sev, everything is possible when you know the right people and aren't afraid of throwing money around. I would empty all of my vaults at Gringotts to make the two of you happy and we know the right people. Lord knows some of them even technically owe us life debts, even. I am sure we can make it work and most of our plans were involving going into muggle London or closing down things for privacy. It may take a bit of bribery, but I am sure I can get it done. Plus, I own the wizarding spa we were going to send Hermione too, I can floo call the manager and have someone over here to pamper Hermione in moments. It will be a hectic afternoon but I think it could be more than worth it. The war is over and she has had a lot come at her. She took care of us in front of Potter last night, she thought first of Harry before herself this morning and she accepted this bond almost without a second thought. She deserves for something wonderful to happen to her and we can make it happen, so why wait? Why put off seeing that magnificent beaming smile when we surprise her if we can do it now? It's not like we have anything planned for this evening, and I know that I can make it work, will you help me Sev? Can we do this for our witch?" Lucius was close to pleading by the end of his little speech and it was clear that he had managed to at least somewhat convince Severus that it could work.

Severus was somewhat skeptical that it could work but with Lu so passionate about it and making some very valid points, it wouldn't hurt to try. He thought that even if they could only get someone from the Spa over to pamper Hermione and the rest couldn't be organized, that would at least be something, showing that they were thinking about ways to make her feel special and cared for. As like most of Lu's schemes, Severus was coming around and agreed, albeit slightly reluctantly at first. "All right Lu, we can try. If it doesn't all work out, we can at least have someone come from the spa to pamper her and that could be special. I think we should wait to tell her about going out until we can get it all sorted. I would hate to have her all excited and a flutter and then we can't come through due to time constraints. She has been fairly consistently let down, Lu, and we are not going to join the list of people who have done that to her."

Lucius hopped up faster that Severus had expected and was nodding his head along with all of his demands. Sev could tell that while Lu was listening and visually agreeing, in his head he was making a list of all that needed to be done to get this accomplished. Similar to the little witch who was lounging in her bath behind the locked door, Lucius when he put his mind towards something rarely failed. Sev knew Kingsley was not going to be undisturbed today and that an unholy amount of galleons were about to be bandied about like they were nothing. He still was amazed at the sheer wealth that Lucius had amassed. The Malfoys had always been wealthy and upper crust, but Lu was an investing genius and had more than quadrupled the worth of the family vaults. He was certain it was enough that even if they were to live and eat as extravagantly as possible for the rest of their days, he, Lu and Hermione would not even make a small dent into the gold the Goblins were protecting for the Malfoys.

With a smile at how excited Lu was, and seeing how the blond was already getting ready to walk to his study to start making calls and demands, Severus cleared his throat a little loudly to regain the attention of his lover. "Um, Lu. We should probably leave a note or send a patronus through the door to let Hermione know we will be in your study and to expect someone from the spa shortly. I don't think she would appreciate neither of us being here after her bath, nor do I think she would like it very much if some random spa employee was waiting for her instead. In fact, I would be a bit worried that you would be out a spa employee if you just sent one in here without any warning to our witch. The war may be over but wartime instincts are still a thing and don't think I missed you having your wand right where it used to be when you slept during the first war, last night. You were ready in case you had to pop up and attack. Hermione has been on the run for a bit over a year before this, she is probably more tightly wound than either of us when it comes to sudden attacks."

Lu's face fell slightly and then he said, "You are absolutely right Sev! What was I thinking! Of course we don't have to tell her about the date but we can't just send someone in here with no explanation! Perhaps we can send Spiffy…"

Severus cut him off quickly right there. "Perhaps not an elf. She likes Spiffy but she is still not totally on board with the idea of house elves and I think one interrupting her bath would not be welcomed and would probably scare the living daylights out of her. I will write up a little note and I have a spell I think that can slide it under the door and deliver it to her without interrupting the locking charms. I will take care of this bit. You go get started with the planning, Lu."

Lucius crossed back over to Severus and gave him a quick but hard kiss on the lips and murmured, "Thank you my love, for everything." Then with a bright smile he was out the door muttering about who to floo first.

Sev was shaking his head with a grin and headed over to the beautiful desk that had been set up in Hermione's suite. After a quick inspection he was pleased to see that Lu had it stocked with almost anything you could think of for writing. From bound and blank journals, to notebooks filled with lined muggle paper to parchment and all of the quills, pens, pencils and markers one could dream of. He had to wonder where Lu had managed to find all of this to stock their witch's room, or how he had even learned about some of the muggle items in here. He had certainly given up pens and pencils, much to his chagrin, when he went to Hogwarts. He had missed the ease of writing with them for a while, but now being so used to using a quill, he grabbed a stunning peacock one as well as crisp piece of parchment and one of the many black inkpots that were stocked. He could have chosen a much more garish color that Lu had also stocked the desk with, but decided against giving himself a headache as he wrote out the short message to Hermione. Really, who would write with hot pink ink? He shook his head again and began to scratch away.

He smiled as he wrote the small missive to the petite witch who had waltzed in and simply warmed up the entire house and their lives in just a few short days. As soon as he had realized that Hermione was their third, Severus had assumed she would be a force to be reckoned with and that if they had a chance to be a triad her kindness would warm and light up their lives. But the reality was so much better than even the best of his hopes and daydreams.

He read over the missive one last time before put the quill in a rest to allow the remaining ink on it to dry. The note was as follows:

"Sweetling- Lu and I are going to make some plans for later this evening, which will involve you. Consider it a bit of a surprise from us to you. That being said, we thought you could use a bit of a relaxing morning and afternoon… In a short while a there will be a worker from a spa that Lu owns, waiting for you. They are instructed to pamper you with the works. Whatever you want, they will help with. Please, enjoy this little treat from Lu and I and please, for the love of Merlin, relax and enjoy. You, above all else, deserve it, Hermione, so please at least indulge us and put yourself first.

-All my love, Severus"

He smiled at all of the insistence he put in the note, knowing it might be overkill for anyone else, but for Hermione Granger it was most certainly necessary. He doubted even growing up her mother had ever taken her to a spa day. He knew that because she had really lacked many female friends at Hogwarts she most likely didn't even know about the magic of wizarding spas. Lucius had sent him, once, under great protest from Severus. It had taken a bit of goading afterwards, but even Severus had to admit wizarding spa was one of the most magical places in the world.

They were able to use magic to perform the best soaks, massages and charms that were suited to each client. Spas in the wizarding world were so much more than beauty charms or glamours. Yes, they did that and finished with that, but it had shocked Severus and he was sure it would shock Hermione that it really was so much more. Before they would spell hair, nails and makeup, wizarding spas were all about helping the wizard or witch get in tune with relaxing and working with their magic. Severus could remember how finely tuned he had felt leaving that spa. His magic had felt like it was flowing better than it ever had and he had felt almost as if he was floating on a cloud.

He knew if Hermione relaxed and allowed the spa employee to do her job, it would be close to an addicting experience. If she did enjoy it, he would not be averse to joining her at her next spa experience. They would maybe just not mention his tagging along to Lu. Severus hated to hear 'I told you so' from Lu, and sometimes especially about things that Sev put up a fight about, Lu was the worst about gloating.

Severus folded up the note and whispered the spell that sent it under the door to Hermione in her bath. He watched the note slide under the door and smiled as he grabbed his robe and left Hermione's suite. He would let Lu work on the planning and organizing of their potential outing tonight. He honestly still had his doubts that Lu would be able to pull it off, but knowing Lucius if his initial plans didn't work out they would be doing something even bigger and grander than what they had discussed.

As Sev left Hermione's rooms, he made a decision on what his contribution to Hermione's first date was going to be. He started off to Lu's study to let him know that he was going to be stepping out to find the perfect thing for their witch to wear tonight. Lucius had filled her closet with wonderful clothing, but Severus wanted to find her just the right dress and maybe a few jewels to give to her for what was hopefully going to be a momentous event for them all. He was going to show her that Lu wasn't the only one who was planning and thinking about her and this date. He also was going to show both of his lovers that he had a bit of fashion sense behind his normal all black uniform. With that thought, he grinned and swept of down the hallway to let Lu know and get his little mission started.
