Amelia sat curled up in bed staring out the window all morning, her legs tucked securely under her. She decided to throw on a hoodie and leggings, not caring what she looked like. Her eyes were bloodshot from the strangling she endured the night prior along with the crying she had done after.
Severus' crow perched on her windowsill watching her. He was obviously upset with his master but she welcomed the company.
Her throat felt like it was on fire and she was having trouble moving her head. Severus didn't check in on her until later in the morning. She hadn't moved from her room.
There was a quiet knock at her door. "Amelia..." she heard him say. He couldn't enter because she had warded her door after she got back into her room. She knew of course that if he really wanted he could get past them but he was respecting her wishes.
"Amelia please open the door"
Even if she wanted to respond he wouldn't hear her, her voice too damaged. After another knock she rolled her eyes and flourished her wand, opening the door for him.
He didn't hesitate to walk into her space. Immediately he was at the side of her bed in a few long strides, sitting on the edge and touching her leg. She didn't look at him.
"Amelia I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was you." He was practically pleading. "Please look at me." He begged, his thumb rubbing circles on her leg.
Part of her was angry with him but another part knew he was telling the truth. He didn't know it was her. She slowly closed her eyes and when she opened them they were brimming with tears and looking directly into his. The red around them making her hazel eyes shine brighter, the water in them making them seem even bigger. It broke something inside of him.
He moved his hand to touch the side of her face, the movement of her head although slight made her wince in pain. He immediately stood from the bed and left only to come back a moment later carrying a small silver jar.
He took his place next to her and raised it to her face. "May I?" He asked quietly.
With great difficulty she said "You may" Her voice was horse and gravelly. At the sound of it he grimaced in what looked like pain.
He gently massaged the sides of her neck. His hands creating a soft pressure that made her sigh in relief. The pain subsiding within seconds. He focused on the front of her neck eliciting a soft moan from her once again. The vibrations of it causing his fingers to tingle. He didn't want to stop touching her and neither did she but he had to. The reason for this contact was not a happy one he had to remind himself.
Once he was done he closed the jar and placed it in her hands. He touched her cheek once again, his thumb rubbing the side of her face. Her eyes darted from one eye to the other, waiting for him to speak.
"I'm so sorry for what I did...I was in the middle of a nightmare and I thought...I thought you were someone else." He dropped his head. "I thought...I was being attacked."
Amelia placed her hand over his. "I know. I just wanted to help you."
Amelia rose from the bed, pulling him up with her.
"I understand Severus. It was an accident." She smiled up at him sweetly. Then kissed him on his cheek. She looked deeply into his eyes, showing him that she truly forgave him, placing one hand on his cheek and softly kissing the other. "I'm going to shower then after we can talk about this more."
After a hot shower and another application of the cream Severus brought her, her neck was back to normal and her voice was no longer horse.
Amelia threw clean clothes on and walked into an empty living room. Confused, she walked back down the hall and opened his bedroom door. It was empty as well. Turning she saw him sitting on the edge of her bed. He was stroking his crows feathers softly, apparently apologizing to him as well.
"Severus... really it's ok-i shouldn't have spent the morning pouting." She said as she sat back down on the bed.
"No Amelia. I..." Severus searched for the words. He believed her but had to explain himself. " I relive the worst parts of my life every night. I'm not a good man Amelia..."
Amelia sat in silence. She hurt so much for this man for many reasons. He dropped his hand and Amelia's followed, holding it between her smaller ones. She swallowed thickly, trying to push her voice forward not wanting to throw more guilt at him. "You've done so much good for others."
He watched as her fingers moved over his knuckles, soothing him. He shook his head and pulled his hand away. "The good does not wash away the bad."
Amelia sat on her heals and moved closer to his face. Reaching out she pulled his chin towards her, resting her forehead to his. Her hazel eyes searching his black depths, immeasurable shame and regret manifesting through his unshed tears. "The bad does not wash away the good." she countered.
Amelia placed her hand on the other side of his face and closed her eyes. He nuzzled his nose along the side of hers and closed his as well, breathing her in deeply, angling his head only slightly.
The next thing Amelia could feel was a soft pressure against her lips. She pressed against him a bit harder and she could feel him part his. She followed his motions as their tongues met, caressing against each other. They both sighed into one another, he tasted like mint and coffee and smelled like leather and smoke. An earthy scent that shot straight to her core.
The kiss soon became heated as Amelia pulled him on top of her. Her fingers wove themselves through his raven locks as he left wet kisses along her jaw and down her neck.
Sitting up, Severus pulled Amelias shirt over her head and looked down at her. Her skin was completely flushed and she was practically trembling.
Severus straddled her still clothed hips and placed her hands on the bottom of his shirt, allowing her to pull it off herself. Giving him the piece of mind that this is what she wanted as well.
Amelia ran her fingers over his chest, marveling at how beautiful she thought he was. The hair in the middle of his chest was thicker as it dispersed across it, trailing downwards into a clean line and disappearing under his belt.
He placed large hands on top of hers and nodded towards her chest. For the second time that morning he asked. "May I?"
Amelia had to hold back a moan. Hearing him speak while they are both half naked was almost too much. She couldn't trust herself to tell him so she just nodded. Pulling her up to him, he ghosted the top of her black bra with his finger tips. Touching her skin ever so slightly. She had to squeeze her thighs together just to try and relieve some pressure from her core, she was practically vibrating.
"I want you... to tell me with your mind." He said. His eyes never leaving her ample cleavage.
'Take it off' she thought and his eyes locked onto hers.
...'with my fingers or my teeth?' Her responded, the corners of his lips curling into a smirk.
'Surprise me...' At that, Severus turned her around and pulled her against him. She could feel his hard length against her ass. Arching her back, she pressed against it even more, teasing him. Severus grabbed her hips and thrust up, practically growling in her ear.
"Tell me you want this" He whispered against her neck.
Amelia reached back and pulled his lips down to hers, rubbing herself against his cock once again. 'fuck me Severus' She pushed into his mind as she kissed him desperately.
He didn't need to be asked twice. Flicking his fingers, they were suddenly completely naked with the exception of Amelia's bra.
Severus ran his hands slowly over her hips then her sides, finally cupping her large clothed breasts. He squeezed them gently as his hands moved back down. One hand rested on her hip while the other trailed further south, stopping on top of her mound.
He moved his mouth away from hers while he slid his middle finger into her slick folds. She gasped and arched her back even further while he moaned slightly at the contact.
Amelia could feel his hot breath against the back of her neck as he rubbed her skillfully.
"Severus..." she groaned. Amelia then felt his mouth against the back of her bra. One sharp snap and it was on the floor with the rest of their discarded clothes.
"Gods you have beautiful tits" Severus breathed, looking over her shoulder, his finger still preoccupied while the hand that was resting on her hip reached up and massaged one gently. They were large and round, the perfect size for his hands. Spilling over as he squeezed gently. He thought about what it would feel to lay his head on them, press his lips to them, rub his cock between them...
Amelia was panting at this point. His finger now joined by another, rubbing her vigorously. The coil in her abdomen tightening with every second. He could feel her body become warmer as she neared her climax.
"Sev-Severus don't stop-"
He lifted his mouth to her ear and spoke lowly, his voice was crushed velvet and dark chocolate. Sinfully rich and deep. "The first time you cum... will be in my mouth."
At that Amelia moaned loudly, not knowing what was going to make her cum, his hands or his voice. Immediately he pulled away from her. The loss of contact made Amelia whimper in defiance, her pussy aching to have his fingers back to doing what they were previously.
She laid on her back as he moved on top of her, her legs parting to create more contact. Amelia could feel his erection pressed against her warm heat causing her to thrust up gently, hoping he would fuck her into oblivion right then and there.
His skin was warm and welcoming, she just wanted to wrap her entire body around him and never let go. His mouth was on hers again, hungrily moving from her face down her body.
He stopped at her breasts and moved his lips over her hard nipples. She wanted to scream at that point, they were painfully sensitive. He massaged them gently and kissed each one then licked and kissed between them before continuing his decent.
Amelia ran her fingers through his hair as he kissed and nipped his way to her opening. She knew what was going to happen next but jumped when he kissed the the inside of her thighs instead. His nose began to nuzzle the fleshy skin as he breathed deeply.
'I love your thighs' She heard him think, not sure if that was meant for her to hear.
She watched him through half hooded eyes, her heart was beating out of her chest. 'please...I can't take it anymore' She thought desperately.
Understanding her loud and clear he buried his face between her legs. His tongue flattening and slowly licked her wet folds before wrapping his lips around her clit.
Amelia squirmed as he sucked and nipped at her. He then hummed lowly as he sucked, the vibration causing her to arch off the bed. Severus splayed a strong hand over her midsection, keeping her in place. His other hand was holding one leg open so she didn't crush his head between her thighs.
"Sev-Sev-No... Oh fuck..." She moaned and panted. The noises she was making was almost too much for him. He moaned with her.
The bedroom was filled with nothing but sucking and lapping noises until she finally reached her peak, her eyes practically rolling in the back of her head.
"OH GOD SEVERUS!" she cried, cumming hard and pressing her hand to the back of his head. She moaned loudly as he drank in her sweet nectar, on the brink of cumming just from the sound and taste of her. His name on her lips as she came down from her shattering orgasm.
Looking up at her he couldn't help but smile. She was disheveled looking, her hair was a mess, her entire body flushed. Amelia was breathing shallowly and he could see her rapid pulse in her neck. Her eyes were half closed and her lips were red and swollen from their heated kisses. A ghost of a smile lingering there. Something foreign welled inside of his chest. Something he hasn't felt in a very long time. She was beautiful. He was fucked.
