Hermione was sleeping on one side of the bed, in a fetal position facing away from the door. It was past midnight when she heard the door creak open. She knew it was Draco. For the next few seconds there was complete silence and Hermione wondered if she had really heard it. But then she could feel the bedsheets crumple and a weight on the bed. She didn't move even an inch and kept her eyes closed.

Slowly a hand crept along her waist. "Hermione?"

She didn't budge. "Can you hear me?" he whispered again but Hermione ignored him.

She could feel his warm breath tickle her ears and neck. She was immensely enjoying this but controlled her urge to smile and remained still.

"Hermione? Are you sleeping?" he tried again but got no response. She knew how much Draco craved for her whenever he had had a hectic day and today was one such day. She wanted to see what he would do if he thought she was sleeping.

She heard him sigh. He placed his hand gently over her stomach and aligned his body right behind her. Hermione was smiling at this point but he couldn't see her as she was facing away from him. He pressed his chest against her back, buried his face into her bushy curls and tried to snuggle closer to her.

It was a sweet gesture but Hermione had something else in mind. She didn't know what made her do it, perhaps she wanted to annoy him a little. She moved abruptly, which made him take his hand off her and deliberately took up a position in which he wouldn't be able to cuddle with her.

She was teasing him and the thought gave her an immeasurable amount of satisfaction. She had an irresistible urge to open her eyes and see his face but she controlled herself. She was sure Draco would have a miserable look on his face right now, like that of a child when his favorite toy is snatched away from him.

She heard a low groan and had to bite the inside of her cheek to stop herself from laughing. Just a few more minutes and then she would stop this game, Hermione promised herself. But the next moment there was a rustle of the sheets, she could feel him get off the bed and hear the door open and shut.

This shocked Hermione. She never wanted to piss off her husband so much that he would get up and leave, she immediately opened her eyes only to see Draco standing next to the door with a devilish smirk on his face.

"I knew it! I can tell when you're faking it darling" he said confidently and climbed onto the bed. Hermione's mouth was wide open in amazement and he took the opportunity to shove his tongue down her throat. He pushed her down on the bed and positioned himself on the top of her.

Hermione soon broke the kiss. "Ouch Draco you are too heavy" she said. Draco realized that he had put his entire weight on her body and got up. He put his body weight on his hands and knees, he was on all fours caging her.

"You were enjoying yourself, weren't you?" he asked already knowing the answer. Hermione just burst out laughing. She put her hands around his shoulders and pulled him closer still not being able to control her laughter. "I hate you" he murmured snuggling closer to her. "No you don't" she replied.

Draco rested his head on her arm and wrapped his arm and leg around her body like a baby. "You love to torment me, don't you?" he asked. "What? I was pretending to be asleep not dead!" Hermione said as she stared at the ceiling with a smile on her face.

Draco unbuttoned the first few buttons of her shirt. "Please don't do such things ever again" he said quietly. Hermione couldn't see his face but he sounded a little serious. "I was only joking. What happened to you?" she asked in a worried voice.

"Nothing. Just had a bad day today" he answered. "Oh…are you okay?" she asked while gently stroking his hair.

Draco was fondling with her breasts. He twiddled her nipple and took it into his mouth every now and then. "Yes. I am now" he replied.

They lay in bed that way, cozily wrapped up in each other's arms and sleep took over them.
