For the rest of the week Both Viktor and Hermione tried desperately to see one another. Every time they would come close to contact, something would happen to keep them from their reunion. They wouldn't get a moment to even say a simple hello. Then at night Hermione would wait in her bedroom for him to fly to her window, only to find he never would. What she didn't know was that he was being forced to sleep on the ship for his own safety since their run in with the death eater, and there for couldn't get away.

Hermione now sat in her work room sitting up on a work table overlooking her broom for dobby. She had yet to give it to him hoping to do so when her next flying lesson with Viktor was, but so far there hadn't been one. She sighed heavily as she looked at not only his broom but all the ones that hung on her wall. In that moment she was reminded very much of Viktor. She jumped off the work table and walked out of the room. She slowly made her way to the window and stared out at the maze that was clearly visible from her tower. She could faintly see people moving about readying it for its use the next night.

I can't believe the final task is already upon us… She thought as she stared at the haunting structure. I can't believe he's going to have to go in there…

She couldn't help but shudder as she forced herself to look away. She was sure that Death eaters were going to be swarming the Maze. At first she was worried for Harry but now she was worried for Viktor as well. She wished to convey her fears, and have him quell them like he had the last two times around but he was no longer around to do so. Hermione walked over to her bed and sat down, her eyes drifting to a picture of her and Viktor before the yule ball smiling at each other as he leaned in and kissed her cheek.

"Why won't he come see me?" she asked herself softly as she held the picture in her hands. A knock sounded and she jumped looking to the window. She smiled expecting to see Viktor but stopped seeing it was empty. "Great I'm imagining things." another knock sounded and she jumped turning to the door.

"Hermione its Padma!" she rushed over and opened it up.

"Padma? Everything okay?" she asked a little alarmed.

"I have a message from Viktor conveyed to me by Jamous."

"Okay what is it?" she asked with a bright smile.

"It makes no sense."

"That's his message?"

"No I'm just saying the message makes no sense."

"What's the message Padma?" she asked a little annoyed.

"To meet him in the most secret place you can think of…" Hermione smiled softly. "See makes no sense."

"Thank you…" she said with a smile as she leapt forward and hugged her. "Thank you!" she rushed into her room and grabbed her coat. "Cover for me if something happens?"

"Sure of course." Padma said with a nod as she watched Hermione run off. Hermione never stopped running. She knew it would take her an hour to walk to her destination but by running she could get there in less than thirty minutes.

-o-

Viktor slowly paced the cavern. He had managed to sneak away and was thankful to his friends for helping him do so. He rubbed his hands together and checked his pocket watch which held the photo of him and Hermione dancing.

"Come on Luff… Where are you?" he asked quietly. He had been waiting for near two hours. Still she had not come. He wondered if she had decided not to. Wondered if she was angry with him for not coming to see her instead. He heard the sound of something sliding and smiled as he turned to see Hermione coming out of a dark space and into the open. "Hermione…" she smiled and rushed to him her arms wrapping around his neck instantly. He smiled lifting her up into the air. He felt like he hadn't seen her in years. Her absence in the past week had been unbearable and he realized just how much he needed her.

"I was so scared I wouldn't see you before the task…" she said as she kissed his cheek. He pulled away and smiled down at her.

"I'm sorry I haf not been to see you. Karkaroff kept me on ship when not in class."

"That's why you weren't in your cabin? I came to find you a few times there."

"He said I had to be with others because of death eater in maze…"

"I didn't think he would put you there if I had known I would have snuck on the ship." She said. "How did you get away?"

"Dobby snuck something into Karkaroffs stew this night at feast. Then the boys kept him busy on ship giving me time to sneak out."

"What if he finds out you're gone?" Hermione asked alarmed.

"He won't he's very ill. I don't know what Dobby did but I'm going to buy that elf a tailored set of dress robes." He cupped her cheek. "I had to see you Mina…"

"Is everything alright?" He slowly nodded with a smile. "No it's not…" she said leading him over to a moss covered boulder where they sat down. "Viktor what is it?" she asked softly.

"Everything is fi-."

"Fine?" she finished for him. "You're not. I can see that clearly in your eyes… Please tell me what's wrong… I could help…" He nodded and looked down at their entwined hands, somehow finding strength to speak in the sight.

"After seeing death eater in maze… I think you are right I think there vill be many death eaters in maze…" he said. "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep Harry safe as I promised you… I fear I vill let you down. But I assure you I vill try my hardest… I vill make you proud Mina."

"Viktor you could never let me down. You could try your hardest to do so and you wouldn't be able to. It's just not possible." He smiled. "As for making me proud, you already have…"

"What if I can't keep Harry safe Luff?"

"Let Harry worry about Harry… You just keep yourself safe…"

"But Harry-."

"Viktor…" she said silencing him. "You stay safe." He couldn't ignore the passion that was held within her eyes. "Understand?" he slowly nodded.

"I'm… I am…" he looked away. "I am nervous…" He admitted quietly.

"You don't have to mince words with me Viktor…" she said softly his hands held in her lap.

"I'm scared." He said suddenly. "Very… Very scared. Does this make you feel less about me?"

"I would think less of you if you weren't scared to be honest…"

"You wouldn't be scared…" He said with a smile.

"Are you kidding me?" she asked making him look to her. "I would be absolutely terrified. I'm not talking a little terrified I mean like curling up in a ball and screaming for my mum terrified." He laughed softly. She really did know how to make him feel better. "I'm terrified now to be honest…" he looked to her. "I'm very scared for you Viktor…"

"Scared for Harry as well?"

"I know somewhere deep down I am… I just can't feel it because I'm so scared and worried for you…" she said with a soft smile. "At the beginning of the year when you and the others were chosen as champions. I didn't even have an inkling that I had feelings for you, but when your name was spit out of the goblet of fire… I smiled because I knew that you felt very proud at that moment but I was so very worried about you. Then when Harrys name was spit out… I was worried for him, but in the end my mind kept going back to you…" she looked to him. "I knew that I was worried for him that night, as I am right now. But I couldn't hear the thoughts because like that night, right now my heart is screaming so loud that I can't hear my mind…" He cupped her cheek and captured her lips with his in a deep passionate kiss. When their lips broke apart he kept his forehead resting on hers not wanting to break contact from her. "I have something for you…" she said with a soft smile as she reached into her coat.

"You do?" he asked and she nodded.

"It's a good luck charm of mine…" she pulled out a bracelet that had delicate charms all around it. "I wore this through all my Adventures here at Hogwarts. Wore it all the times I should have died but lived…" he smiled. "If this bracelet could protect me from a three headed dog, Devils Snare, a Basilisk, Dementors, a Werewolf and countless run ins with Malfoy it should be able to protect you from whatever awaits in that maze."

"I think it was you who protected you from all that…" he said.

"Hush it was the bracelet…" she said with a smile and he laughed softly. "It helped me beat you in a duel didn't it?" she asked with a smile.

"True, you would haf not won without bracelet." He said with a wicked smile.

"Don't push it young man."

"Not young. Prehistoric remember?" she smiled.

"Cradle robber…" he laughed. "You don't have to wear it just thought it could help. Stupid idea really." She said feeling quite vulnerable in that moment.

"I vill wear gladly and proudly." He put out his wrist and Hermione clasped it around. "How does it look?"

"Manly very manly." She said tapping a charm of a sunflower making him laugh.

"Real men wear charm bracelets." He said. She smiled softly thumbing the pendant he had given her that hung around her neck. "What are you thinking about luff?" He asked after a moment.

"In all honesty?" she asked.

"Yes…" he said.

"Swimming…" he laughed.

"I was too… The pool looks inviting." He said glancing at it.

"I'm going for it, it will take my mind off the task." She took off her jacket.

"If you're going I'm going. I would gladly accept any notion to get mind off task." He said taking his own coat off. They both threw off their shirts and slipped out of their jeans and shoes. Viktor took Hermione's hand and she laughed as they ran to the water and jumped in. They both resurfaced a moment later. Before he could say anything she splashed him. "Hey!" he said with a laugh.

"Ha ha got you." She said before he could splash her she dove under the water pulled him under by his foot and got to the surface. The minute he came back up she splashed him again. He laughed before diving under the water and picking her up by her waist and throwing her up out of the water were she splashed back down with a squeal ten feet away.

They played for an hour. Just enjoying the mischief of it all. It was the first time in a long time the two had just spent a vast amount of time playing. They never played, Viktor feeling too old. Hermione feeling the same. They had had moments of games but they ended a moment later with a smart joke or a snappy comment. Hermione smiled as she swam back to the shore and got out of the water Viktor following suit.

"It's never cold when we get out I wonder why that is?"

"It's because of the crystals in the water and the residue they produce. It gets into your pores keeps you warm even in the most frigid of temperatures." She explained as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "I'm going to miss doing this with you next year."

"We vill still do… I vill make sure of it." He said with a smile.

"You'll really come visit me?"

"If I don't see you I go crazy. This would not be good for me so of course I vill come see you." She only smiled.

"You should become the flying couch here. We could become quite the scandal… You the attractive new teacher, me the impressionable student who seduces said teacher. We could actually have a lot of fun with that in our private time." He laughed as she smiled and laid back. Viktor let his eyes roam over her perfect body. Without thinking his hand went to her neck and he let his fingers slowly drag down her slender frame. Hermione smiled softly her eyes drifting closed at the sensation.

"I haf to ask." He said.

"What do you have to ask?" she inquired with a smile as she looked to him.

"I haf seen you without parts of clothes a few times, some of those times being a surprise. But every time I do you always haf lacy beautiful things on underneath… Do you own anything that isn't lingerie?"

"Not a thing." She said with a smile.

"Was this for me?" he asked.

"Not at all… It might sound strange but when you wear stuffy uniforms like I do it's nice to know that underneath it all you're wearing something beautiful."

"It's not beautiful on its own Luff… You make it that way, with your body." He ran his hand across a laced up detail on the side of her pink lacy board shorts. "it's just fabric…" he slowly moved over her body before he could do anything Hermione placed her hands on his chest and pushed him so he would lay back down. She climbed up onto his body, and Viktor sat up his arms wrapping around her. She kissed the right corner of his mouth then the left before finally kissing him straight on the lips.

Viktor pulled away after a moment his forehead leaning against hers. He let his eyes drift closed as he relished in the feeling of his arms around her warm petite frame. He took a small breath inhaling the smell of vanilla that naturally rolled off her.

"Can I come to your room tonight?" he asked softly his eyes still closed.

"Won't Karkaroff come looking?"

"Just say I can stay with you…" He said. "Please…" Hermione looked to see his eyes were closed, a thoughtful worried expression on his features. She kissed his forehead nodding as she did.

"Of course…" They stayed like that for a long time, before finally Viktor relinquished her and they began to silently get dressed.

-o-

Hermione slowly got off Viktor's broom. He did the same and let it levitate by its own magic. She smiled at this as she moved forward and closed the windows. When she was done latching the lock she turned to see Viktor slipping out of his shoes and coat. Neatly placing them at the foot of her bed. She watched him with a soft smile. She was glad he had asked to stay, but something in his demeanor worried her. His mind had gone back to the tournament. She could see that clearly. All she could do now was be with him as we worried. All she could do was try to make him feel better with a calm presence and a soft hand to hold his.

"I'm going to get ready for bed okay?" she asked, he only nodded as he took off his shirt. Before she could walk into the closet Viktor grabbed her hand and spun her to face him. She made a surprise noise as his mouth crashed against hers in a heated kiss. She was about to protest at the sudden movement but stopped herself instantly.

This is what he needs… And I think… I mean I know… That I need it too…

Her arms moved around his neck as he lifted her into the air causing her legs to wrap around his waist. He moved forward pinning her against a wall as he instantly threw off her shirt. His eyes went to Hermione's and he smiled at the blush that filled her cheeks. One of his hands dove into her hair as he moved forward and kissed her deeply. Hermione groaned as she slowly slid down Viktors body her mouth moving against his in a slow sensual way.

As her feet touched the ground she let her hands roam down his body. She smiled feeling the muscles ripple under her touch. Her hands halted at his belt and with a soft expression she undid the buckle and unbuttoned the jeans before doing the zipper. Instantly the pants dropped, before she could do her own she felt his hands go to her jeans and instantly take care of them. He lifted her up into the air causing the jeans to drop to the ground. She smiled as her legs wrapped around his waist once more.

He carried her over to the bed and laid her down. His mouth slowly trailed down her neck as his hands moved up the back of her body where he undid the tie in the bra and released it from her. He rested his head into the middle of her cleavage the sensual vanilla scent over whelming him as he began to kiss down her body. Hermione's back arched as she felt him slowly begin to slide the panties off her. Her eyes drifted closed as she took a shaky breath. She was complete exposed to him, for the first time Viktor was seeing her completely naked. She felt him slowly move up her bare body before his mouth kissed each corner of her mouth.

"You're so beautiful Hermione…" he whispered. "So very beautiful."

She let a soft moan escape her as she felt him slide two fingers into her core slowly. His other hand leisurely cascaded down her body leaving the skin beneath his touch heated and sensitive. All the while he let his hand pump into her deeply and slowly. Hermione's back arched more as waves of pleasure overcame her more and more. Viktor's mouth crashed against Hermione's as a loud heated moan escaped her.

Viktor felt the need to touch her everywhere. If he didn't he feared he would lose himself completely and just disappear. The feeling of her body writhing under his in pleasure kept him grounded, kept him present. He smiled feeling her push down his boxer briefs, he kicked them off gladly. They were now skin to skin, body to body almost nearly soul to soul. He kissed her neck and moaned as he felt her hand move around his member to stroke it slowly and sensually. He positioned himself between her legs out of sheer instinct. He wanted nothing more than to burry himself in her. He wanted to feel Hermione completely surrounding him in a moment of sheer passion. His eyes snapped open and he instantly pulled away. His hands going to cover his face in disgrace.

"No…" he said shaking his head. "No good…" Hermione slowly sat up feeling vulnerable at the sudden lack of contact.

"Viktor?" she asked softly.

"No good…" he said in Bulgarian as he shook his head. He went to get up but Hermione stopped him.

"Hey… What is it?" she asked placing her hand against his heated cheek.

"I'm so sorry…" he said quietly not raising his eyes to meet hers.

"What? Why?" she asked as he wrapped the covers around her and then himself.

"Almost went too far…" he admitted quietly.

"It wasn't too far…" he slowly looked to her as she took his hands in hers. She pulled him back down over her body her mouth moving against his slowly. He pulled away less than an inch as Hermione removed the covers that separated their bodies and let them fall to the ground beside her bed. He let a hand rest over her blushing cheek as he looked her over with uncertainty.

"You want to… You want us…"

"I'm ready…" she said her lips so close to his they brushed against them as she spoke. His mouth moved over hers. Instantly he could feel the heat of her body sinking into his.

All he could think is how she would feel surrounding him. She said she was ready. She wanted them to completely give themselves to each other. Still he couldn't give her what she was so ready for. He closed his eyes and slowly pulled away. He grabbed the sheet and put it around her body once more as he got up. Hermione watched him pull on his boxer briefs before then pulling his jeans on.

"Viktor…" he stopped. Her voice hadn't broken, hadn't shaken, hadn't given any sense to sadness but still he could hear it hanging there in the stillness. He had rejected her and he couldn't imagine how she felt at that moment.

"I can't…" he said softly.

I know that I shouldn't fight with him… Tomorrow is a big day. I don't want to fight… I just want to know why… But I'm afraid his answer is going to hurt me… When I'm hurt I get angry… It's a horrible trait but it's one I possess… he slowly turned to see very clearly from her expression she was at war with herself. I can't help but wonder if it's me… If I did something… I mean it's not that he's nervous… He's had sex before… It's clear that he doesn't want to have sex with me… That's… That's hurtful… I'm not angry though I'm sad… why am I so very sad?

"Luff?"

"Is it me?" she asked before she could stop herself. "Okay don't answer that." She stood the blanket still wrapped around her body tightly. "Please don't answer that." She smiled. "This is fine. This is okay… Yeah... Okay… Well I'm going to go put some clothes on…" she grabbed a bundle off her dresser and headed into her private bathroom. The door closed rather quickly and he stared at it in disbelief.

"Is it me?" her question echoed in his head. He hadn't meant to make her feel that way at all. It wasn't her. In all truthfulness it was him. The door opened and Hermione came out her hair up in a ponytail. She was now in pink cotton shorts and a white t shirt. She smiled at him as she re did the bed.

"You should get some rest. Tomorrow is a really big day. I have to check on this new broom I've been crafting before I go to bed… I'm stabilizing a core and that's always tricky… I might be a while." She said as if nothing had happened. "Night Honey…" she kissed him on the cheek before heading past him.

"Hermione?" he asked as he watched her head into her secret work room.

"Mhm? Oh you probably want something to sleep in… I got these a few days ago in case you needed them." She handed him a pair of red sweat pants. He set them aside.

"No I well yes I needed them. Thank you." She nodded at him with a pleasant smile. There was no trace of the insecurity he had just seen a few short seconds before. Still the memory of the look on her face when she had asked him if it was her was crippling. The look of it made his stomach turn with guilt. "I was going to…" his voice trailed off he didn't know what to say. "It's not you." He suddenly said.

"Oh…" she said with a tilt of her head. "That's… That's nice…" she grabbed a brush from her work station, knelt, and began to scroll a design over the wood of Dobby's broom. "I can't wait to give this to Dobby… I hope he'll love it." Viktor tilted his head.

"I think we should talk about it." He said. "What just happened…"

"No no that's okay." She said with a smile. "Besides we just did. It wasn't me so that's good. I'm okay; you're okay so everything is okay. Now Viktor you really should get to bed. Tomorrow is a huge day you probably have to get up early for task preparation."

"Actually no I don't… I get to sleep in." he said.

"Oh good than if you go to bed now you can get even more rest."

"Hermione it wasn't you." He said again.

"I know you just said that." She said with a smile.

It had to be… There was nothing else stopping him. It wasn't nerves he's had tons of sex ten twelve times like he said before. What is it about me? I mean what made those ten twelve girls different? What made them sexually more desirable to him then me?

As she turned to look away he could see the same expression from before. Pure insecurity. It was eating away at her slowly. He could see that plainly. He didn't understand why she wouldn't talk to him about it.

I can't discuss this now. I don't want to get hurt. I don't want to hear from him that he doesn't want to be with me. He's being so sweet saying it's not me. I know it is though. I know I didn't do anything wrong. He was responding I could feel that. It was something about me that stopped him. Maybe I'm not… Appealing enough?

"Hermione I want to talk about this." He said.

"We did it wasn't me so it's talked about. Viktor you should really go to bed."

"I don't want to go to bed." He said trying not to raise his voice in frustration.

"Oh… Well do you want to help me with Dobbys broom? I could use some aesthetic advice." She said tilting her head at it. "I keep going back between Red and Gold to having it just be plain with his name in gol-."

"Hermione I don't want to help with damn broom either."

"Oh then… What do you want to do?" She asked quietly as she set her brush aside.

Does he want to fight with me? He's pressing this talk-. He wants to fight before the task so he can break up with me. Because if we fight before an important moment like that he has grounds to. Grounds that don't involve my body. It's his way of letting me off without hurting my feelings… Now I know we can't fight… If we do he's going to leave me. I can't handle that right now. I already feel horrible about myself.

"I want to talk."

"About what?"

"Do not play dumb Luff its unbecoming…" he said quietly.

"Get it over with." Hermione said her jaw clenched as she stared at him with a blank expression.

"Get what over with?" he asked with a tilted expression.

"Break up with me already. We don't need to have a fight that gives you grounds to do so … So now that you have my permission do it. I'm fine with it go ahead."

"No no." he said quickly before he looked to her. "You're fine with me breaking up with you?"

Oh my god he really is… Hermione felt something twist inside her. She felt ill.

"Y-yes." She said trying to regain her ground. "It's fine. I would understand I mean our relationship has run its course. You'll have no use for me next year so…"

"You're not an object I use Hermione…" he said completely horrified. "I want to be with you next year."

"You just said you wanted to break up with me."

"Fairly certain I didn't." he said thinking back on his sentences.

"You asked me if I was fine with you breaking up with me. That insinuates you leaving me."

"But I don't want to."

"Then why do you want to fight?" Hermione asked thoroughly confused.

"I do not wish to fight."

"Then why do you keep pressing the issue of talking about you not wanting to have sex with me?"

"Because we should talk about it."

"See I don't see why we should…" she said. "I mean you said it wasn't me so it wasn't me."

"We should talk because you still seem upset."

"Can I ask a question?" she inquired.

"Of course Luff…"

"Are we breaking up?"

"No Mina!" he said still horrified at the notion. "Do you want to?"

"Do you want to?"

"No!"

"Oh… Okay then… So, why are we still talking? You should be in bed." Hermione said with a relaxed look.

"Damn it Hermione we're talking because we need to talk!" he said getting a little frustrated from the run around.

"We kind of just did."

"It's not you Hermione."

"I know you've said that like twelve times now." She said with a smile.

"You don't think I want to have sex with you." He said.

"Well you don't…" she said.

"What would give you that idea?"

"The fact we were just on the bed I said I was ready and you said No…"

"I want to have sex with you." He said.

"I'm kind of not in the mood now though…" she said confused once more.

"Not now Hermione." He said.

"Uhm…" she closed her eyes for a minute. "Okay…" he thought back on it as she looked at him.

"That was confusing…" he said.

"Incredibly…" He took her hand and led her over to the bed where they sat down.

"I want to make love to you."

"Again not really in the mood…" she stated.

"Not now."

"And we're back to square one." She said sighing heavily.

"Ahk… Okay Luff let me speak yes?"

"Do I have to? Can't we just go to bed and pretend this whole thing never happened? I'm okay with pretending it didn't happen in fact I'm more than okay with it so let's rewind like we just came in through the window and act like you didn't grab me and start snogging me in the needed way you did. That you didn't take my clothes off and lead me to think you wanted to have sex and then utterly shoot me down while eradicating all the small precious amount of self-confidence I spent years building… Okay? Yes sounds like plan." She waved her hand the lights going dim. "Night Viktor I love you…" Viktor waved his hands the light going back on. "We're really going to do this aren't we?"

"Afraid so…"

"All I want to know is why you would have sex with those tarts that followed you around like pathetic puppies and you won't have sex with me. I'm a catch. I'm beautiful I'm smart and as of late I'm a downright vixen."

"I never slept with pastries…" he said.

"Wonderful here comes the language gap…" she said. "Those girls before me remember the ten or twelve ones? The ones who probably acted just like that tart in the cabin that I thought you were cheating on… Oh… Oh my god…" she said standing. "Oh my god…" Hermione instantly felt sick.

"I know what just went through your mind and no I'm not cheating on you with pastry-tart girls." He said standing and taking her hands in his. "Remember how you say you over think things." she nodded. "You're doing that now. You're letting your mind run away with you completely and its clouding your ability to listen to me or even want to listen to me." He said with a kind hearted look.

"I'm not trying to be childish here I'm really not… I just I don't want to fight. I'm so terrified of fighting with you right now… Not to mention it isn't bloody right to. Tomorrow is a huge important day that could either result in a small chance of you being victorious, a bigger chance of you being hurt, or the biggest percentage in the lineup you being killed. I can't have the memory of us fighting the night before to be one of the last memories I have of you if something really terrible goes wrong… Also I still think you want us to fight so you have better grounds then not finding me sexually attractive to break up with me…"

"That's what you think? You think that I don't find you sexually attractive?" he asked. "luff I find you very attractive. I find it hard to keep my hands off you all the time. Even now I want to reach out throw you on the bed and continue with what we were doing…What would ever make you think you weren't absolutely stunning and alluring to me in every way?"

"Viktor I was yours for the taking and you shook your head at me and said no good what am I supposed to take from that?" she asked pain flickering across her features. He stared at her for a long time.

"You're right… What were you supposed to take from that? I'm sorry luff I was idiot. I wasn't saying no good to you I was saying no good to me…"

"I don't understand..." She admitted.

"You've never had sex before…"

"I know." She said with a shrug.

"Which means you didn't know what you were asking for…"

"I have a general idea of what sex is Viktor…" she said with a smile.

"Yes you do I don't disagree that you have knowledge of it… But you don't know about what will happen."

"Yes I do. I could draw you a diagram if need be." He tried not to smile at this comment but continued trying to convey his point. "I really could…"

She really is a little too adorable at times…

"Luff what I mean is that you don't…" he shook his head. "You have no… Ahk!" he said shaking his head."I cannot say what I'm trying to say…" he said frustrated with himself. "Uhm…" he looked up in thought. "Hermione I didn't want to hurt you." He said. "Does this make sense?" she slowly began to nod as the pieces slowly came together.

"Oh…"

"You understand…" he said with a relieved look.

"I think…" she said as they sat back down on the bed.

"I wanted to make love to you I wanted to receive the gift you wanted to give me, but I didn't want to take it with risk of hurting you. I haf never been with Virgin but in studies the first time for a woman it says it can be painful. I can't stand the thought of hurting you…" he admitted quietly. She smiled softly. "It was hard for me to pull away you haf to believe that but I couldn't… I couldn't bring myself to do that to you…" she slowly nodded before taking a breath.

"You really are a good man… A real gentleman… Maybe a little too much but you know better to much of a gentleman then nothing at all…" she said quietly before looking to him. "I thought it was me and you know the other reasons I gave. I really did let my mind get away from me… I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry for the whole no good statement. I never thought you would think it was directed at you…"

"Well any person with a regular brain wouldn't but my brain just ran with it and started spinning all these horrible thoughts. I'm sorry. I'm really embarrassed about this."

"Don't be this was all just a result of a bit of a language block I think…"

"We've never really had trouble with it before…" she said with a smile.

"We were both confused I think." He said.

"So… You wanted to have sex with me tonight? You were ready?"

"Of course." He looked to her. "Were you really ready?"

"Yeah I really was… Now though remembering how painful it can be… I could wait." He laughed while she smiled looking to him. "I'm kidding… I was ready… still am…"

"We will Luff…" he said his hand going to cradle her cheek. "Just give me time to maybe find a way that would protect you more…"

"You really are kind in every single way possible aren't you?" she inquired as he moved forward and kissed her. When he pulled away he had a mischievous look. "What is it?" he had a wicked smile as he began to push her back on the bed. "What happened to being a gentleman?" she asked with a small smile and playful eyes.

"I'll be no less a gentleman then I haf been before… Just… Don't take my pants off." he said as he kissed her. She giggled as his hand waved causing the lights to go dark. "Luff I said don't take my pants off!"

"I'm going to be no less a lady then I have been before…" she said and this time it was his turn to laugh.
