Like It's Yours
They had worked together for almost 5 years now. Starting almost immediately after the war. Draco inherited the family business and Hermione was quickly head hunted by Draco for her intelligence.
They worked together with relevant ease. In fact, throughout all their years of knowing each other and the time that they worked together, they had grown quite close. Despite their rocky start. Hermione worked hard in his favour to clear his name after the War as she had studied magical law to become a lawyer. She claimed it was to help her S.P.E.W efforts. But Draco had a suspicion that she liked a good verbal fight and she liked to win. She was the lawyer for Malfoy Industries now, and the unlikely pair got along very well. They could joke around and have a good laugh.
Hermione started by being given the role of Manager of Staff and Sales, to which she took seriously. She loved her job. Her colleagues were hard workers and they got along very well, and her boss was Draco, with whom she adored working with. This funded her studies to Magical Law which only took two years. After getting her degree Draco pulled her into the office and offered her the head Lawyer position, for three times the wage. Additional days off and bonuses and even offered to pay her loans for the degree. Of course she accepted. Knowing it would mean more time one on one with him. Which she enjoyed more than she would admit.
Draco had gotten with Pansy after the War. While Hermione had never met her after the Battle of Hogwarts, she had heard a few things about her from Draco. Draco however, didn't talk about her much, and would shrug off any questions Hermione had.
Hermione and Ron had tried to make a relationship work however it failed very quickly and ended up causing more hurt than happiness. It took Draco's gentle persuasion in his own way of insults and comical mick- taking, but Hermione got his point easily. She deserved to be treated better than that.
Hermione, for once, looked forward to work every day, especially the days she knew she would be with him because he worked hard, which she respected. But she could be herself around him. She was single, and when comfortable with someone she could be very open. She frequently made innuendoes or crude vulgar jokes, to which Draco laughed and joined in. At first he was a little taken aback. But never one to back down from a challenge it didn't stop him. Overtime, it became more frequent and enjoyable. And now he relished in being able to share that side of her. One he knew she was rarely like around anyone else.
She would never dare speak like that in front of Harry and Ron, but they didn't see her the way Draco did. Sure, she could be herself around her but they didn't think of her as a woman. They thought of her as a friend, which meant whenever she made a comment or a joke, they would be overly cautious about how they replied and usually would change the subject. Draco however would happily join in, which she found rather nice.
Hermione was respectful of the fact that he had a girlfriend. She would rarely ask him about his own sex life, but more talk about hers and let him join in to the conversation at his own pace. She detested cheating, and had strong views that flirting isn't cheating, however there is a line. She made sure to never cross that line.
Her moral compass was based on thinking;if she had a boyfriend, what would she do. What would she say? She used the exact same method when she was single but she was conversing with someone who was in a relationship. Namely Draco.
Draco had been querying her on how to boost morale amongst the staff. The summer had just begun and everyone was getting brought down about having to be inside working when the weather was so beautiful outside.
Draco and Hermione sat in his office, from 9am until almost 4pm. Lunch, tea and coffee were brought in throughout the day with various snacks. The pair had discussed multiple different ideas to increase morale. In reality, most ideas drifted off into tangents but the main part was that they had finally come up with a workable solution.
It was Draco's idea, Hermione regretted to admit. A party. A big summer party where they could all go and have a few drinks. It would be themed. And they would all get a week's paid holiday. To spend with their children which were still on their summer holidays, or by themselves.
They had decided on a theme. "Famous." And they had set a date. Friday the 19th June.
Hermione had been planning her outfit for hours, days even. She wanted to look good. She had been single almost a year. She had a few relationships since Ron, all less than satisfactory and not lasting longer than a few months. She would never get with a co-worker. Especially as she was the boss. She knew that Draco had a girlfriend and would never try and sabotage that.
However, a year of being single, really did knock one's confidence. All she wanted was a bit of flirting, and a few second glances to get her back in the game. She had finished her look by taming her hair, now considerably longer, almost to her hips. Into beautiful beach waves. She had honey highlights giving her hair a defined look and curled the right way got her many second glances.
Clothing wise she had opted for an oversized jumper that came to her middle thigh and knee-high black boots. She spun around in the full-length mirror and smiled. She applied a soft natural touch of make up before heading out to the party.
The night was filled with drinking, dancing and socialising. It was held in the offices. Draco and Hermione had spent all day cleaning out a floor. One of the big board rooms was the dance floor. The kitchen had been opened up for drinks and snacks and there was a small number of seats in the corner as well.
Draco and Hermione had been careful with their drinks, not wanting to get too drunk as they were the bosses.
After midnight people started to leave. Draco and Hermione started to drink, by 2am it was just the two of them remaining. They sat on the sofa after dancing solidly for an hour.. Their bodies ached and begged for sleep but they weren't giving up just yet. The alcohol pumping through their veins was enough to keep them going.
They had been laughing solidly for the last few minutes. Neither could remember what it was about though. Hermione had broken one of her rules. She had a strict no touch policy with Draco, as she wouldn't touch him if she had a partner. However, while dancing (She didn't really count dancing as touching because it was the flow of the room. That wouldn't have bothered her if she had someone) No. They had finished their dance and she placed her hand lightly on his chest. She was pleasantly surprised by the muscle she felt beneath.
She wouldn't lie, her breath caught in her throat and her eyes hovered on his a few seconds more than they probably should have. Many of her colleagues and subordinates had had given her second glances, and third and fourth. A few couldn't take their eyes off her. Which gave her confidence, but she was a little irritated that she hadn't caught Draco checking her out. But that was the alcohol talking. Sober she probably would have been relieved.
By four am, the party had fizzled entirely and Draco and Hermione had finished their attempt at tidying. They walked out of the building, being careful to lock up behind them. Draco lived a fair while away. A good 20 minutes fly. But he was not stupid enough to fly while drunk. He did, however know that he could not walk that distance safely. Hermione lived only a 5 minute walk away so he decided to walk her to her front door and then wait at the bus stop just up the road for the Knight Bus.
While walking Hermione started singing, the alcohol giving her the confidence, as she had dressed as a famous singer and Draco had quizzed her on who she was meant to be. He had to admit that she was not a bad singer either.
They arrived at the bus stop where they were due to part ways, when Draco and Hermione found the separation hard. She gave him a quick friendly hug, but neither wanted to go.
"I have an idea" Hermione said with a smirk. Draco knew her well enough to recognise when she was playing her dangerous games. And she had that messing around glint in her eye. She grabbed his hand and pulled him back to the office, beyond and into a small alley
"Where are we going?" Draco asked she stopped, turned to face him, placed one finger across her lips and said "Shhh" she pulled her hand away from her mouth and stayed still for a few minutes. Her eyes catching his. His eyes dropped from hers to her lips and then back to her eyes. He took a step forward. It was only then that she turned and carried on walking, before she begun something she knew she couldn't stop herself from finishing.
They arrived in a large field, on a small slope. It was very secluded and Draco could almost guarantee that hardly any people would see them. They sat on the hill, overlooking the valley in which Malfoy Headquarters stood proudly.
They watched the hills opposite as the sun started to rise. Feeling the warmth of the sun rays, Hermione started shivering, not realising how cold she actually was. Draco put his arm around her shoulder and she leant into him. Another broken rule. But she didn't care.
They watched the sun rise. The rays caught his face, lighting up his strong jawbones and dark sexy eyes. She couldn't deny that this man was a walking sex symbol and deep down she was jealous of Pansy greatly.
He must have had a similar thought as he looked down at her with want and desire. As though he was using every morsel of his resolve not to crack and kiss her.
"We can't" She reminded him in a very quiet voice. Almost afraid to admit out loud that they were both thinking the same thing
"I wouldn't" He said, but he still could not tear his eyes away
"I wouldn't let you" She challenged. The twinkle back in her eye. He lowered his eyes at her challenge. They loved a challenge. They both did. It was what brought them to be so close in the first place and that fuelled most of their flirtatious banter throughout their working relationship.
Maybe he was testing her, maybe he was testing himself. Either way he could not deny himself any longer, he leant down, desperate to taste her lips. To feel how soft, they were. They looked soft. They gleamed from where she had applied gentle lip gloss, and he was eager to taste them against his lips.
She let him lean in. He got closer until he was centimetres away. when she smiled and turned her head. The shock of her movements brought him out of his desired daze, and realise exactly what he had done. Silently thanking her for turning away as he didn't trust himself to.
Once the sun was up, she couldn't hold back any longer. She pushed him so he was laying down and positioned herself so she was laying on her side beside him. It was Sunday and they had no work. The only contact between their bodies was that she was using his forearm as a pillow.
She fell asleep quickly and awoke a few hours later. Draco was awake but only just, either her stirring had awoken him or he awoke very shortly before she did. She checked her watch and was amazed to see that it was almost lunchtime, she rolled back over so she was face to face with Draco.
Again, their lips so close together, Hermione knew it would only take half a second to readjust so she would kiss him. But she couldn't. She wouldn't let herself. And yet, she didn't move from his presence.
Eventually, however they parted ways and Hermione made her way home, clambering into the soft sheets of her bed and drifting off to a blissful sleep of thoughts of her blonde haired boss. Draco however, now sober enough to apparate, arrived back in his living room.
He wanted so badly to sleep but every time he closed his eyes, he saw her. He could smell her. He remembered her soft hair, her silky skin, and his desire built. Deciding that he needed a shower and some food her gave up on the concept of sleep. Deciding instead to go and see Pansy that day.
Draco Knocked on Pansy's door
"Oh Draco. Wasn't expecting you to knock. Come in" She said opening the door. He walked in and kissed her with everything he had in him. All his desire from the previous night came pouring out in passion she could not match. He loved her, but she wasn't Hermione. He couldn't joke with her, he couldn't have the crude conversations that he could with Hermione.
He had never kissed Hermione. Merlin, he wanted to! And he had thought about it in the past. But he never had. But he knew that if he did, he would have sparks. He didn't get anything from kissing Pansy anymore. It had been too long. He felt a warm glow in his stomach after a while of kissing, But Hermione just glanced at his lips last night, and sparks shot though him!
His hands wrapped around her waist and pushed her gently into her bedroom onto the bed. He kissed her as his hands made quick work of her clothes which flew gracelessly to the floor, crumpling upon their descent.
His hands trailed her body. Desperate to feel her. To get that spark again! He trailed his lips down her body. She wasn't exactly unattractive. He always knew that Hermione was attractive, but she never really stood out to him until that night. It was almost as though a cover had been lifted from his eyes. He was desperate for her. He needed her. But he was almost turned off by the woman before him.
Her moans broke him out of his monologue. Her moans had never bothered him before, but he heard Hermione hum and moan last night, not paying attention to herself, she was humming and moaning as she danced away. Pansy's moans now sounded forced, like she was trying too hard. Almost like porn star moans. Draco doubted whether she was making those noises because she knew she should or because she was actually feeling it.
She took control and started riding him. Now too focused to be moaning excessively. He started to lose himself in his thoughts as she pleasured him. He started picturing Hermione being the one to go down on him.
He lost control over his breathing. He wanted Hermione! He couldn't get her out of his head! Pansy moved and started riding him. Her moaning continued as she used Draco to bring herself closer to the edge.
Draco needed to get Hermione out of his head. He picked Pansy up and threw her down onto the bed, thrusting in to her so hard it was as though he was pushing his thoughts if Hermione out through his member.
However, the thoughts were having an adverse effect as he was just imaging it was the long-haired co-worker he was drilling. But it was too late to get the thoughts out of his mind, as he felt himself drawing closer to the edge.
He found his release on the thought of Hermione. He lay beside his girlfriend after one of the best climaxes he had ever had. However, he was filled with regret and remorse.
Draco must have fallen asleep but he awoke in Pansy's bed. The guilt hit him like a ton of bricks falling from a great height onto him. Pansy walked into the room and lay next to him
"Drakey, why are you so tired?" She asked. Draco cringed at the nickname pouring from her lips like a sickly syrup. No. He was done.
"Pans we have to talk" He said. The next thing he knew was a hard slap across his face. Did she know? How would she have found out?!
"How dare you cheat on me! Who is she? Who did you sleep with?" She asked horrified
"Pans I didn't cheat on you" Draco said confused. She dropped her hand and kissed his cheek where she slapped him
"I'm so sorry Drakey, I shouldn't have accused you" She said. Draco pushed her off
"Pansy. We still need to talk?" He said
"What about?" She asked sitting next to him.
"Pansy, I don't want to do this anymore" He said
"Do what? Here? Let's go on holiday. Don't say you can't get the time off work, you're the bloody boss!" She said. Her dressing gown had opened and she was now pacing around the room, her underwear beneath on show.
"No! Pansy no holiday! Pansy I want to break up with you" He said. Her pacing had led her to the other half of the room, her back to him. And she froze at his words.
Another hard slap.
"Get out of my house" She yelled. He picked himself up off the bed and complied. Closing the door behind him. He hadn't expected her to take it very well, but there was a lot less arguments than he had thought there would be.
He walked out and had no idea where to go. He made his way back to the office and sat at his desk, thinking over the last 24 hours.
Monday came, and very few people turned up, most deciding to take their weeks paid holiday now, instead of later on in the year.
Hermione walked into Draco's office
"You look like shit" Hermione said
"Aren't you full of compliments" He replied. And they were back to normal. They had a long talk about him and Pansy. Hermione couldn't hold back the glints of excitement at the thought of him being single.
Leaving work at lunchtime, they went to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink. One drink led to another, and the pair finally stopped drinking at 9pm.
"You … You know 'Mia. You know why I broke up with Pansy?" He asked, incredibly drunk now
"Why?" She asked curious but just as drunk as him. He giggled
"I fucked her" He said
"I … I didn't peg you for a guy … A guy who leaves a woman for disappointing sex" She joked
"NO! No, no, no! I didn't leave her for the sex I left her for the orgasm!" Draco explained.
"What's the difference?" Hermione asked after a second of silent contemplation
"I thought of someone else" He admitted quietly.
"Who?" Hermione asked curiously. Draco's eyes slowly moved up and caught hers. It took her a few minutes to gather what he was saying. "Oh" She responded.
"Well … I could never lie to you and tell you that the thought had never crossed my mind" She admitted. Draco collared over Tom and booked them both into a room. They made their way upstairs and as soon as the door closed, he pinned her to the wall, hips to hips, lips millimetres away. Their eyes locked and they couldn't hold back any longer. Their lips met in a fiery spark of electricity.
Their clothes fell to the floor, as they were chucked across the room with no care whatsoever. Draco kissed down her neck to her collar bone, taking a moment to suck on her pulse point.
Merlin, he wanted her! He took her by the hand and led her to the bed. Every touch of his lips, his fingers on her sent her through rounds of ecstasy. Sparks shooting through her, straight to her core.
Draco ran his fingers, his nails over her soft skin. He had never felt so much desire. He couldn't hold back anymore. He kissed her passionately as he thrust into her, gently at first. Hermione moaned a breathy moan, reaching a beautiful pitch as her pleasure overcame her. Draco couldn't help but compare her to Pansy. The softness of her body, the realness of her moans.
He had made the right choice. He wanted her, now he had her. And he had no regrets. He kept her feeling pleasure. Different angles, different paces.
Hermione was in pure ecstasy. Sure, it had been a while since she had done this, since she'd been with a man. But nothing compared to this. Nothing prepared her for the pleasure she was feeling from his masterful skills.
"Please" She moaned as she felt herself drawing even closer. Smirking, Draco slowed down.
"Draco please" She begged, rocking her hips, desperate for any type of release. Giving into her polite commands, he flipped her over onto her hands and knees and thrust into her again. Harder faster. Her breath caught in her throat as she came undone for him. His fingers toyed with her clit and the other with her nipple.
She tightened to beautifully around him, she was tight to start with but this was something else entirely. Her vice-like grip as she reached her climax was enough to spur him over the edge.
Collapsing next to her after his blissful climax, he pulled her into him.
"I needed that" He muttered into the skin of her neck
"It was a long time coming" She replied.
They slept very well that night, and their night events continued the following morning, in the bed, and the shower. They got themselves to work about 11am, and had to work hard to make things normal. Hard to fight the urges which now possessed them.
Three weeks later however, they gave in to their urges again, and actually begun dating.
5 years later, they were happily married.
