A/N Hello everyone, please enjoy Chapter 7 x
Harry unlocked the front door to his home and staggered inside, he had never been so tired and worn out in all his life, this level of exhaustion had seeped into his bones, sucked the life from his very core, leaving him nothing but a sagging heap.
In the last three weeks he had learnt more medical terms then he had in his entire life. Fractured NOF (neck of femur) splenectomy, Staph infection, collapsed lungs, Neonatal, were words he'd never imagined needing to know, now you could ask him anything related to those two terms and he could rattle off an answer with no problem at all.
Three weeks earlier
What had started out as a harmless shopping trip in the city had ended in two women fighting for their lives in a London hospital. Three weeks earlier Perry and Lorna had taken the train into the city to have a day out and do some shopping, Nick and Harry were at home doing a few odds jobs around the house for Perry.
Severus was teaching the summer course on offer and would be meeting up with Harry later. It was around 3pm when the phone rang, Nick answered his face becoming a deathly shade of white, his hands began to shake, so bad in fact, Harry had to take the phone from him and sit him down before he fell. There was a police officer on the other end, who relayed to him that Lorna and Perry had been the victims of a vicious mugging and had been taken by Ambulance to St George's hospital.
On autopilot, he ended the call and dived into action, first he went and packed a bag for Nick, then he drove them to his home where he packed a bag for himself, while he was doing that, and he rang Severus and left a message. Then he rang Draco and had left a massage for him as well. The drive to London was interminable and the conversation scarce. Nick just stared out the window, not moving an inch. Harry was concerned that he was on the verge of a heart attack or stroke.
At the hospital they were met by a Doctor and Nurse, who explained that Perry had a ruptured spleen and was being prepped for surgery, Lorna had a fractured hip and was also being prepped for surgery. They were shuffled into a waiting room and told someone would be back to fill them in as soon as was possible.
Harry's phone rang a few minutes after arriving, it was Severus returning his call, and so he went out into the street outside the hospital and told his partner what had happened. Severus immediately wanted to come to London and support Harry and Nick, there was nothing more in the world he wanted in that moment than to fling himself into Severus' arms and never let go. He accepted because in all reality he didn't know what to do, or what to say.
No sooner had he hung up from Severus, who was on his way, then his phone rang again and it was Draco calling to say that Luna had gone into labor and they were at the hospital in Sussex. He sent his love to them and told his friend to ring when the baby had been born.
He went back inside and told Nick what Draco had said and that Severus was on his way. His foster father only nodded in response. Harry sat beside him and held his hand, it was a simple action, but the only thing he could think to do.
Three hours passed by and they hadn't heard a word about Perry or Lorna. He had rung Ellie and told her what had happened, she was coming down the next day as she was visiting her family in Scotland. Severus arrived and Harry sank into his arms, relishing the comfort his embrace provided if only for a moment. He spoke to Nick who could only offer another nod in response, he seemed unable to communicate, just sat staring with his hands clasped tightly in his lap.
A police officer turned up half and hour after Severus and explained what had happened. Lorna and Perry were coming out of Harrods when two youths one woman and one man approached them and demanded they had over their handbags. Being who they were the women stood steadfast and refused to hand over anything.
They attempted to yell for help and that's when the assailants became violent, one grabbed Lorna's handbag and tried to rip it off her arm, Lorna swung out at the woman and she was punched in the face for her troubles, losing her balance Lorna fell and hit the pavement hard, hearing a sickening crack as she landed. Perry was punched in the stomach and thrown to the ground, she hit her head and the male kicked her side when she tried to keep her purse away from him.
Harry felt physically ill as the officer recounted the events; he was clutching Severus' hand as tight as he could manage. The Officer went on to tell them that two people came to their aide and called an Ambulance. One was a nurse, who was able to stabilise Lorna's hip until the paramedics arrived.
'Have you caught them?' Nick asked it was the first time he'd spoken a word in hours
'Not as yet Mr. Flamel, rest assured they will be caught and punished to the full extent of the law' the officer tried to assure him.
'Let's hope so, that woman means the world to me, hell she is my world and I will see that justice is served' Nick snapped
'We will find them Mr. Flamel' the officer said grimly
Nick didn't offer an answer after that, he only sat down and continued to stare into space. Harry's heart broke at the sight of his foster father looking so defeated. 'Thank you Officer' he said 'we appreciate you coming and telling us what happened' Harry said shaking the officers hand.
'We will keep in touch' the officer said and left the room.
Two hours after the Police had been to see them, a Doctor came to tell them that Perry was out of surgery and now in the recovery room. Her spleen had been successfully removed and the Doctor didn't foresee any complications, although she would be spending a significant amount of time in hospital. Lorna was still in surgery, her hip had been worse than first thought and she was having an entire hip replacement performed.
It was after midnight before they heard anything about Lorna, she had come of out the surgery and her hip replacement had been a success. This good new was tinged with worry and concern as the Doctor left the room, Harry received a call from Narcissa to say the baby had been born but there were complications and they were arranging for a helicopter to provide transport to St Georges' Hospital.
He relayed the news to Severus and Nick, who were equally worried for the newborn and his parents. While on the phone to Narcissa she told Harry that Andromeda had offered them the use of her townhouse, it was only a few blocks from the hospital and would provide them with a shower and a warm bed to get some rest.
'Why don't you come and grab some sleep?' Harry asked Nick, who appeared to have aged 5 years in the last few hours
'I need to be here when Perry wakes' Nick said weakly
'The Doctor said she won't be properly awake till morning now, she won't forgive you if you aren't bright eyed and bushy tailed come morning' Harry tried to lighten the moment.
'No she wouldn't' Nick laughed lightly 'Bit of sleep wont hurt I suppose'
'I'll go and let the nurses know we are leaving and where we can be contacted' Harry said leaving the waiting room and going to the nurse's station.
An hour later they sat around a dark mahogany table, in Andromeda Black's townhouse, she had everything ready by the time they arrived, including a room for Narcissa and Amber who were traveling down from Sussex. Harry sipped at his lukewarm tea and let it soothe his throat, there hadn't been a lot of opportunity to drink at the hospital, he didn't quite trust that it wouldn't come straight back up after he swallowed anyhow.
'This is very kind of you Andromeda' Harry said as she showed him where his room was
'Think nothing of it love, just happy I can be of some help' the woman smiled and it reminded him of Draco.
Narcissa and Amber had arrived half an hour earlier and it was now nearing on to 3am, Harry had settled a distressed Amber, who was wrought with worry about her mum and the new baby. He had laid with her while she drifted off to sleep, her intermittent sobs, turning into soft snores as her breathing returned to normal.
Sure she was settled for the moment, he left his goddaughter and went back out into the living room. Andromeda had given him the room closest to Ambers should she wake in the night and need someone. He was just getting ready to climb into bed when a soft knock at the door stopped him, when he opened it Severus was standing on the other side, he wore plain blue pyjama pants and a t-shirt of the same colour, it was all Harry could do not to drool at the sight of his lover.
'Just wanted to say goodnight' Severus said, not missing the hungry look in Harry's eyes
'Think you mean good morning' Harry chuckled moving over to the man and wrapping his arms around his waist.
'You ok?' he asked kissing the mop of black hair
'Yeah, just tired and worried, but ok' Harry mumbled 'It's Nick I'm worried about'
'Once he sees Perry tomorrow I am sure he will feel better' Severus assured him
'We all will' Harry yawned
'Time for bed my gorgeous young man' Severus hummed
'Mmm look forward to the day you will come with me' Harry murmured, freeing himself from Severus' arms and staggering over to the bed.
Severus' pulsed raced at Harry's words, he desperately wanted confirmation of what he'd just said, wanted to stay rooted to the spot, until he was sure Harry had actually said what he thought he'd heard.
But one look over at his lover who was near fast asleep, told him this was no time for such things and Harry had more than likely not realised what he'd said in his tired state. Kissing him gently on the forehead, Severus left the room and returned to his own.
Nick grasped his wife's hand tightly as though it were his only lifeline and should he let go, horrible things would happen. A nurse had rung them at Andromeda that morning to tell them that Perry and Lorna were both awake and had been moved to a private room, which they shared.
The look of relief on Nicks face when Harry relayed the message was something he would never forget. Amber was anxious to see her mother and father as well as her new little brother. She had informed everyone at breakfast that his name was Angus Harrison Malfoy; he looked all squishy and had no hair. The laughter that rumbled around the table was a welcome release after the worry and anxiety of the past 24 hours.
'Nick love, no need to hold on so tight' Perry winced 'I'm not going anywhere'
'Sorry' Nick said and eased the grip on her hand ' I was so deathly worried about you'
'I know' Perry smiled squeezing his hand 'but the Doctors tell me I am a tough old bird and will be fine in a few weeks'
Harry spent time with his foster Mother and Lorna, then went up to the Neonatal Intensive Care ward to see Draco and Luna. He was shocked to see his friend who was normally so refined, look so disheveled. As soon as he saw Harry, the blonde launched himself into his arms and sobbed relentlessly.
They stayed like that in the middle of the ward for over 20 minutes, Harry just holding his friend and letting him get his grief and pain out.
Amber had gone in to see Luna and was becoming restless, Severus who had been with Harry, offered to take her to the park just down from the hospital, let her run off some energy. He was beyond thankful that the man was there, Harry wasn't sure he would have gotten through the last hours alone.
'Come and meet your godson' Draco sniffled, pulling away from Harry and composing himself. 'Luna and I were going to ask you together, but things happened rather quickly'
They went into the ward where the baby was being looked after. Narcissa had explained the night before, that little Angus had suffered what was called a Spontaneous Pneumothorax seconds after being born.
A pocket of air had gotten caught in the plural space between his lungs and caused one of them to collapse. Chest drains had been inserted to remove the air and allows the baby to breath, unfortunately as they were preparing to do this, his other lung collapsed and the force was pushing his heart.
That's when they made the decision to transport him to the city. Harry looked into the crib and saw his tiny godson, a mass of tubes coming out of him, monitors beside him being and whirring every few seconds.
'Hello little man' Harry said softly, taking the tiny hand in his own. 'You certainly gave us a scare'
'I've aged 10 years' Draco remarked 'but I'd happily age 100 as long as it meant he would be ok'
'He will be fine Drake' Harry said putting his arm around his friend and pulling him closer
And so it went for the next weeks, alternating between visiting Perry and Lorna then going to visit Draco and Luna. Angus was doing better each day and a week after being admitted all the tubes and monitors were removed, he was breathing on his own and getting stronger with each passing minute. The specialist told Draco and Luna that all going well, they would be able to go back to Sussex, and spend a few days in hospital there before going home.
Lorna was up walking with the aide of the Physiotherapist, who was relentless in her direction that she get up and walk everyday for least a few minutes.
Perry was healing nicely, until her second week, when she contacted an infection that had her going down hill very quickly. The Doctors acted quickly and she was given antibiotics through a drip to stop the infection from spreading.
It turned out that a nurse hadn't performed the correct infection control and hygiene procedures after dealing with another patient on the ward, who had been fighting an infection at the time and as a result passed it on to Perry. Needless to say that particular nurse was dragged over the coals and threatened with the loss of her job.
Severus had reluctantly had to return to Sussex for teaching engagements, but kept in touch with Harry via text and phone calls in his absence. He hadn't mentioned the comment made the night they were standing in his room at Andromeda's not that there'd been time for such a conversation to occur.
It played heavily on Severus' mind though, more than he would normally allow. Harry had never made mention of it, so the older man could only conclude that he hadn't been aware of what he was saying.
Finally the day came and Perry and Lorna were given the all clear to come home, Lorna would need to get in touch with the Physiotherapist in Sussex and keep up with her rehabilitation, Perry would need the district nurse to call at least twice a week to change her dressing and check the wound.
Draco and Luna had left with Angus a few days before that. Amber and Narcissa had gone home as well. Severus was already back in Sussex, so that left Nick and Harry to get home, along with Perry and Lorna. Ellie had arrived the day after the attack and offered to drive Lorna back while Harry, Nick and Perry went in the other car, making it more comfortable for both the patients as possible.
He dropped his bag on the floor and walked into the kitchen, he filled the kettle up and flicked the switch, his stomach gave a tentative growl, not expecting to find anything of any substance in the fridge or cupboards, Harry nearly fell to his knees, when he opened the fridge door and saw the shelves had been stacked with food, the freezer was full to the brim with ready made meals, each one labeled. The pantry was restocked with staples. When he saw his favorite brand of tea, Harry instantly knew who his fairy godmother had been.
Dragging his eyes away from the glorious sight before him, he looked around the house and noticed that it had a particular shine to it, the dishes were no longer in the sink, the living room was tidy, and smelled as though the vacuum had been run over the floor.
Racing into his bedroom, he saw the bed had been neatly made and all his clothes folded on the chair in the corner. Without thinking he went back the way he came, took his keys from the lock in the front door, and got into his car.
Checking his watch, Severus tapped the screen of his phone and opened the messaging app, Harry should be home by now and he wanted to send him a text before going to work. A car pulling into his driveway and the ringing of his doorbell had Severus abandoning that for the moment, while he went to see who his early morning visitor was.
'Harry' Severus said in astonishment when he opened the door and saw his bedraggled lover on the other side 'I was just about to text you, why on earth aren't you home in bed?'
'Wanted to see you' Harry said tiredly
'Come in' Severus smiled, moving so he could come in the door. The older man didn't have time to close it behind him before he was pinned to the wall Harry's mouth plundering his, warm wet tongue pushing again his lips, seeking entrance.
It took a few seconds for instinct to kick in and before Severus gladly parted his lips and kissed the man back, Harry's hand tangled themselves into the strands of his hair, moans escaping as he explored the wet cavern of his lover's mouth.
'Thank you' Harry panted as he broke the kiss, leaving Severus feeling bereft of the contact. 'You cleaned my house and cooked me food'
'I didn't want you to come home to nothing' Severus said coyly
'You are a wonderful man' Harry said laying his head on Severus' chest, the sound of his heart near lulling him to sleep
'You need sleep Harry' Severus said, rubbing the small of his back 'come you can sleep here' He led the exhausted frame of his lover down the narrow hallway to his room, sitting Harry on the edge of the bed, he went over and pulled the curtains closed, by the time he had made it back, Harry had tipped sideways and was laying on a pillow.
Smiling at the sight, Severus maneuverered his lover, until the covers were drawn back and his shoes had been removed.
'Sure it's alright to sleep here?' Harry asked
'Positive' Severus said leaning over and kissing the messy black mop 'I will be home about 5, would you like to have some takeaway?'
'Mmm please' Harry mumbled 'Night Sev'
'Night love' Severus whispered and left the room.
Harry woke a few hours later, he lay there breathing in the scent that was Severus, and aromatic and spicy was the only way to describe what he smelt. It felt wonderful to be in Severus' bed, all that was needed to make it perfect was the man himself.
Over the last few weeks when he had been in the hospital, sitting there while Perry and Lorna slept, or while Draco and Luna took a rare moment to spend together, Harry had thought a lot about him and Severus and where their relationship was going.
At first he couldn't help but think that he was keeping the man at arms length because of his lack of enthusiasm towards intimacy.
All that changed that morning, when he'd seen his fridge, cupboards and freezer stocked with food, and his house sparkling in the morning light.
He was ready to move on to the next step and he wanted to take that step with Severus, the man had wound his way into Harry's heart and he couldn't be happier.
Smiling at the thought of being with Severus in that way, had butterflies swarming his stomach. Reaching down onto the floor for his jeans, Harry pulled out his phone and opened the messaging app.
Just woke up in some gorgeous mans bed and thought of you
Do that often?
Only when they smell really good and are bringing me takeaway for dinner
So it's just the food you want then?
Maybe, could you meet me at the beach after work, bring the takeaway and wear something comfy?
What about the other man?
Can sod off, have a better offer. I like your bed
I like thinking of you in my bed
Good xx
Severus' hand shook as he read the response from Harry, did this mean he was ready for more? Did Harry want to take the next step in their relationship?
His fingers itched to ask more questions, but he refrained from doing so it wouldn't serve well to read too much into a text message, better to wait until he saw Harry face to face.
Severus willed the rest of the day to go faster and more often than not found himself looking at the clock on the wall, trying to make the hands move quicker with his mind.
Harry slept for another hour or so then got up and padded out to the kitchen. Severus had left him a note on the table, telling him to help himself to whatever he wanted, and where the fresh towels and flannels were should he want a shower.
He decided against the shower, the temptation to do other things far too strong to ignore, instead he made a cup of tea and wandered around looking at how his lover lived.
The house was tastefully decorated, the living room bright and airy, a floor to ceiling bookshelf covered one of the walls, and Harry couldn't help but go and peruse the shelves. He ran his fingers along the spines sporadically pulling one out and reading the back cover.
By the time he got to the end, there was a small pile of books he would ask Severus if he could take home. Harry spent the remainder of the morning visiting Nick and Perry, then Lorna and Ellie and on his way home Draco, Luna, Amber and little Angus.
He rang Draco before he arrived, to see if it was all right to stop by. Truth be told he was dying to hold his godson, as he hadn't had a chance in the hospital.
'All he does is sleep and cry' Amber said petulantly from her place on the sofa
'He is only very little Amber' Luna said gently 'he doesn't know how to tell us what he wants yet'
'Well I don't like him' she hissed stomping off to her bedroom
'Trouble?' Harry asked as he nursed his godson
'Only since we brought him home' Draco sighed 'In the hospital she was all over him, helping Luna bathe him, feed him. Now she wants nothing to do with him'
'She'll come round' Harry said looking at the small hand grasping his 'You're too cute not to like'
'Feeling clucky there Harry?' Luna giggled
'No' Harry said resignedly 'my way of life won't allow me to be clucky, doesn't matter though I'm more than happy being Uncle Harry'
Luna shared a look with her husband that said Harry may well be happy being Uncle to her and Draco's children, but that didn't mean he didn't have a yearning for his own.
'Feel free to babysit anytime you like' Draco said trying to break the awkwardness in the room.
'I will' Harry smiled watching as Angus' eyes drooped and he nodded off to sleep in Harry's arms
Chinese takeaway bag in hand, Severus got out of his car and looked out towards the ocean. He could make out the silhouette of somebody surfing in the distance, and as the beach was fairly deserted he assumed it was Harry.
Going to the trunk of his car, Severus took from it a picnic rug and tucked it under his arm. Locking the car, he descended the steps and walked towards to the shoreline.
Laying the rug down he set the bag food on it and sat down to wait for Harry to come back in. The young man was a picture of elegance against the backdrop of the rich blue sky and the ocean. He rode the board with ease, sensing each wave before it came and acted accordingly.
Gliding into the shore, Harry got off his board and tucked it under his arm, Severus' heart swelled and blood rushed to his groin at the sight of his lover coming towards him, everything seemed to be moving in slow motion as Harry jogged over the dunes and made his to Severus.
A warm smile pulled at the corners of his mouth, when he got closer, he tugged on the hem of his shirt in an attempt to hide his growing bulge.
'Hello' Harry smiled 'won't be long I'll just go and get out of this'
'No hurry' Severus choked out like some help getting that off? He wanted to add
A few minutes later Harry emerged from the change rooms, dressed in shorts and precious little else.
He tugged a shirt on over his head and Severus licked his lips at the sight of the naked tanned chest, dusky nipples and a trail of hair that led beneath the waist band of his shorts, Severus had never wanted to follow anything more to see what lie beneath, what treasures awaited him.
'Smells divine' Harry sniffed as he sat down on the rug and kissed Severus hello 'Golden Dragon?'
'Of course best Chinese there is' Severus replied, taking the containers from the bag and setting them on the rug. 'How do you feel after that?'
'Good, more awake now' Harry grinned 'thanks for the lend of your bed this morning'
'I'll send the bill' Severus answered
'Charge much?' Harry snickered biting into a mini spring roll, lathered in sweet and sour sauce
'Depends who it is' Severus said not missing a beat
'Loan your bed out often then?' Harry quirked a brow
'Only to special people' Severus said softly
'I see' Harry said clearing his throat, before taking another roll and biting a piece off
They sat in companionable silence and ate their Chinese, a pod of Dolphins had come to play in the waves, and every few seconds one would dive underneath the water then spring into the air before ducking under again.
'Fancy a walk along the shoreline before we head off?' Harry asked, packing away the remains of their dinner
'Love to' Severus smiled, getting up from the rug and holding his hand out for Harry.
Fingers entwined the couple strolled along the beach, chatting and watching the rise and fall of the waves, the Dolphins had moved on and were now further out, probably on the hunt for fish.
'Got to have a cuddle with Angus today' Harry said casually as they walked
'That's good' Severus replied, they settling in at home?' The thought of Harry holding a child sent shivers through his body.
'Yeah I think so' Harry said 'Amber isn't going too well, she doesn't like him apparently'
'Touch of jealously perhaps?' Severus wondered
'Say so' Harry said 'Seen it happen at school with some of the kids, new baby arrives and the attention is no longer on them, she'll come around'
'I'm sure she will' Severus agreed 'our programs on tonight would you like to come back to mine and watch it?' maybe borrow my bed again, this time with me in it
'Yep sounds good' Harry answered
This is what it feels like to endure torture, Harry thought. He was snuggled into Severus' side watching their program and his body was on fire, he had done everything he could to will his erection away, but it had other ideas and wasn't about to be ignored.
Normally he would have excused himself to the bathroom and taken care of the problem, but he wasn't at home and it felt uncouth to do it while in someone else's house.
He realised that he didn't want to dash off like a hormonal oversexed teenager and jerk off in the loo.
No he wanted to experience what it was like to have someone give him pleasure and release, to run their hands over his body and touch him in places that could make him scream. Oh mercy, it wasn't possible to be this hard, you could hang hats off his dick.
'Sev?' Harry asked trying to get his thoughts to focus
'Yes Harry' Severus answered lazily
'Um I've been thinking and I would like to be close to you' Harry stammered
Severus tore his gaze away from the television and looked at his lover 'you are close to me'
God this wasn't going well Harry groaned inwardly 'I want to be very close to you, I- I want to m-make love with you' Harry sputtered his face burning red hot
'Are you sure?' Severus gaped not daring to let the excitement build
'Very' Harry said clearly 'I don't know if this is something you're ready to hear but, I love you Severus' he added looking at his knees
'I am more than ready to hear that' Severus whispered crooking a finger under his chin and tilting his head so their eyes met 'I love you too and it would be an honor to make love to you'
'Can I ask one thing?' he said quietly
'Anything' Severus answered
'I don't deal very well with dirty talk or things like that' he said almost sadly
'Hey, you are too beautiful a man to be reduced to talking dirty to or using vulgar language in the bedroom' Severus said firmly 'there are many phrases I can use'
'Thank you' Harry said
'Come with me' Severus said gently leading Harry to the bedroom, and taking his lips in a sweet and tender kiss, melting into the embrace, happy to let Harry take the lead and suckle his tongue before deepening the kiss, small moans escaping those perfect lips.
Severus moved to Harry's neck and kissed his way down, running his tongue over the collar bone, nipping lightly at the flesh, as he moved onto the edge of his jaw, taking his earlobe into his mouth, his whole body tingling with the sounds Harry was making.
Taking the hem of Harry's shirt in hand he pulled it over his head and let the garment fall to the floor, he ran his hand over the warm skin, tweaking dusky nubs, between his thumb and forefinger, relishing in the trembling of Harry's body.
'Can I take your shirt off?' Harry asked his voice unsteady
'Be my guest' Severus purred watching as Harry unfastened the buttons of his linen shirt and let it fall to the floor beside his own. Harry bent forward and took a dark nub into his mouth, swirling his tongue around the peak, while he attended to the other with his fingers.
'Oh god Harry' Severus moaned throwing his head back, jolts of pleasure shooting through him as a hand snaked beneath the waistband of his pants and lightly cupped his erection, massaging his balls gently.
'Think these need to come off' Harry whispered hoarsely pulling the pants over slender hips, pooling at Severus' feet. Next came the trunks he liked to wear, his erection springing to life standing proudly against his stomach.
'Gorgeous' Harry breathed as he got down on his knees and licked a line from the root of Severus' cock to the very tip. He engulfed the head of Severus' dick and the older man hissed in pleasure, burying his hand in the dark raven locks.
'Mmm' Severus moaned 'so good my Harry so good'
Harry hummed in agreement and continued to bob is head up and down on Severus' length, loving that he was making the man lose all control, his balls were tightening as Harry massaged them in his hand.
'Harry please' Severus groaned, his hips thrusting forward of their own accord 'please I want to be inside you'
Harry removed his mouth from the engorged flesh with an obscene pop and looked into the lust filled orbs of his lover 'Was it good?' he asked
'It was amazing' Severus said pulling Harry to his feet 'but I am desperate to feel you around me, I want to feel your body pressed against mine'
'Ok' Harry said shakily
Severus led him to the bed and gently laid him down; he took a jar of lube from his nightstand and a condom wrapped in a deep purple packet. 'On your hands and knees my beauty and let me prepare you' Severus said gently
Harry complied and got up on all fours, his arse exposed for Severus to see. Taking the lid from the jar he coated his fingers liberally, a fruity scent assaulted Harry's senses, it smelt like strawberry and lime mixed with flowers.
'Divine' he heard Severus whisper as a lube coated finger circled his entrance, Harry sucked in a breath when that same finger breached the first layer of muscle, a burning sensation coursed through his body. 'Just breathe my love, it will get better I promise'
'I trust you' Harry replied the burning starting to subside and pleasure taking over
Severus added another finger and brushed them over a nub of nerves that had Harry seeing stars and arching his back. 'What was that?'
'Your prostate love' Severus grinned 'your sweet spot'
'I like it' Harry replied letting out a yelp when Severus brushed over it again
Severus kissed each of Harry's cheeks and ran his tongue over his now stretched hole, Harry moaned in response and gave his arse a little wiggle. 'I think you're ready' he whispered
The older man knelt back on his legs and gently flipped Harry over; he held the packet containing the condom in his hand 'Would you like to do the honors?'
'God yes' Harry answered, ripping the packet open and taking the condom out.
Sucking the head of Severus' cock lightly, he rolled the condom over the turgid flesh, watching as his lover's eye darkened filled with wanton lust and desire.
'Now lean back between my legs and slowly impale yourself on my cock' Severus guided the young man backwards, holding his dick steady as Harry lowered himself down onto the hardened shaft. 'Rest your head on my shoulder'
Harry did so and Severus wrapped his arms around the taut chest, softly kissing Harry's neck, nibbling on the tender flesh. 'Move whenever you're ready' he whispered in Harry's ear.
Harry moved up and down, the discomfort giving way to ecstasy, his whole body alights with desire. 'Oh Sev, this is so good' Harry mewled, increasing his pace.
'You are perfect darling, absolutely perfect' Severus purred in his ear
'Please Sev, hold me, fuck me' Harry whimpered losing all control and loving every minute
Severus tightened his grip around Harry and thrust himself into Harry, the young mans head lolling on his shoulder, he made sure to hit that blessed sweet spot as often as he could, basking in the screams and whimpers that escaped Harry's mouth.
'Yes, oh god yes' Harry writhed as Severus slammed into him again and again, he reached up behind him and placed an arm around his neck, his lover latching onto the exposed skin of his neck, suckling as he thrust into the tight heat.
'Exquisite' Severus breathed, nuzzling Harry's ear
'Make me cum Sev please' Harry pleaded
'With pleasure love' Severus purred, wrapping his hand around the hard member, sliding it up and down, dipping his finger into the slit of his lovers cock, beads of pre cum leaking gathering around the head.
'Oh, god Sev, mmm' Harry moaned, 'never loved anyone as much as I love you, please don't ever let me go'
'Never darling you are mine' Severus whispered
'So close Sev, need to cum' Harry panted, feeling his orgasm closing in, the feeling of having this beautiful man inside him almost too much.
'Let go Harry, cum my beauty' Severus growled as he pumped faster, his own release nearing closer
'Sev, oh god Sev! Harry cried out, spilling his seed over his lover's hand, shuddering with the force of the orgasm, he closed his eyes and rode the delicious wave, letting it take him under and consume him so when he surfaced he was boneless.
'Harry, Harry' Severus whimpered as he thrust almost maniacally into Harry 'What you do to me, god you are perfect so perfect' One last thrust and Severus emptied himself, feeling Harry's arse clench around him. He entwined their hands and rode out the last wave of his orgasm, gently kissing Harry's neck.
Harry took their joined hands and wrapped them around his chest, never having felt so safe, so desired, so sated. 'That was amazing' he said turning to kiss Severus' cheek
'You are amazing' Severus said softly basking in the after glow. 'I have never been as happy as I am right now'
'Me either' Harry concurred moving and feeling empty when Severus slipped from his hole.
The older man removed the used condom from his now spent and flaccid penis, tying a knot in the end and sitting it on the floor.
He stood up and stretched his legs, pulling Harry to him and kissing the top of his head. This man had become his reason for living and he never wanted to let go.
'Would you like a shower?' he asked
'Yes please' Harry replied 'will you join me?'
'I will' Severus answered and led them into the bathroom.
Showered and refreshed Harry and Severus went out into the living room, Harry sat down on the sofa while Severus went into the kitchen and put the kettle on.
He smiled as thoughts of the bedroom flowed through his mind; it had been better than he ever let himself imagine it would be.
His heart thumped against his chest at the mere notion he could have this for the rest of his life. The kettle sounded and Severus poured two cups of tea and took them into the living room.
'Harry will you stay with me here tonight?' he asked sipping his tea
'Thought you'd never ask' Harry chuckled 'you would have been hard pressed getting me to leave, and if I did I was taking the bed with me'
'Oh so you're only staying because of my bed?' Severus feigned affront
'Yeah' Harry laughed 'thought you knew that Sev?'
'Cheeky brat' he huffed
'Aww poor Sev' Harry cooed shuffling over and snuggling into his side 'are your feelings hurt?'
'No and don't think sucking up to me will get you out of trouble' Severus sniffed
Harry laughed out loud and set his tea down on the coffee table 'Will this make it better?' he said, nibbling on Severus' ear lobe and licking the shell of his ear
'No' Severus remarked his voice wavering
'What about this?' Harry muttered moving to his neck
'No' Severus squeaked 'Only thing that will make it better is if you move in with me'
Harry paused his ministrations on Severus' neck and sat upright, regarding the man next to him. 'Could you repeat that please?' Harry asked his voice barely audible
'I want you to move in with me' Severus said clearly, turning so he faced Harry, terrified that he'd said the wrong thing and was about to lose the man he loved. 'I know you might think it's too soon, but it feels right, everything about us feels right'
'I… was… going… you' Harry sputtered unable to form complete sentences.
'I've ruined it haven't I?' Severus said glumly
'No, no no you haven't' Harry said, moving so he was straddling Severus. 'You haven't ruined anything I am kicking myself because I was going to ask you to move in with me and you beat me to it'
'Really?' Severus asked hope rising in his chest
'Yes, nothing has ever felt as right as it does when I'm with you' Harry said reverently 'now we just need to decide where we are going to live'
'How about we compromise and get something together?' I have always fancied living in the country' Severus smiled
'What about the University?' Harry asked
'I never planned to stay there indefinitely, in fact I have another career in mind'
'Tell me' Harry said delightedly
'I think I'd rather show you' Severus smirked, lifting Harry off him and vanishing down the hall.
When he returned he was holding a large black folder that looked to be filled with wads of paper. He sat back down on the sofa and opened the folder.
'Apart from chemistry, I have always wanted to write a book' Severus began ' I could never come up with a plot and didn't know how to start, then I met you and inspiration struck, it was our mutual love of crime books that got the juices flowing' he added quickly, sensing where Harry's mind was going.
'What's it about?' he asked
'Read a few pages and find out' Severus grinned wickedly and handed him the folder. Harry sat it on his lap and turned to the first page, titled THE SECRETS OF A WIDOW
