CHAPTER WARNING: Smut alert- not the whole chapter.
Severus removed his coat and picked her up in his arms. Kissing her sweetly he took her back to bed and laid her down. At first, he only stood and stared at her and she became self-conscious. Just as she was going to say something he sat next to her. "You're so beautiful Hermione. I've wanted you my love. Never doubt it." She smiled and got on her knees to remove her gown. He pulled it over her head and then buried his face in her breasts, kissing and nuzzling and squeezing. His hands on her back caressing her satin skin, pulling her closer as he knelt on the edge.
She unbuttoned his white dress shirt and slid it off his shoulders. A deep sigh escaped her lips as his took a nipple in his mouth to suckle. Lightning raced through her body. "Gods I've wanted you so badly. Touch me Sev, please."
His hands began to roam over her silken skin. He had given her a salve to rub over her belly and breasts for the stretch marks. Severus had demonstrated its use the first time, but had become so aroused he dropped the jar in her lap and left quickly. Now he caressed her belly with relish, but there was more to be touched and he wanted to explore her completely.
Their breathing became labored as his hands made the circuit around her body, clenching her arse at the last. "Hermione." He moaned into her mouth as her lips parted to allow him entrance. He plundered her sweetness and then placed hot wet kisses along her jaw to her neck. By now his erection was straining in his trousers, he had to do something about that quickly.
He lay her back on the bed again, her eyes smoking with desire and her hands reaching for him. He stood and removed his pants and boxers, his need for her clear. Severus crawled in the bed with her, settling at her feet. Her eyes grew wide as she reached for his cock. He took her hands and pulled them over her head to lay on the mattress. "Next time." He whispered in her ear. "I must have you now or disappoint us both." He looked again at the lovely form of his naked wife beneath him. Severus gently placed a hand on her mound and dropped a finger between her nether lips. She was wet and ready, and he pulled her hips up onto his thighs and positioned himself. Slowly, oh so slowly he entered her and began to sweat with the effort it took to restrain himself. She felt so exquisitely warm and tight, but he would be sure she was able to take him before continuing. He was no centaur, but his thick eight inches were still impressive. Without his famous ability to control himself he would have finished at the first stroke. Severus needed it to be good for her, and so stilled himself to dial back his passions and began to rub her clit to inflame her need.
Hermione was out of her mind with the lust he had already built up in her. She almost screamed when he stopped. "Please baby, move for me, don't tease. It doesn't hurt, I swear." She hooked her legs behind his hips and pulled him in to the hilt. He felt incredible and she was desperate to release the tension he had created in her core. At last he began to move, faster and faster. With his fingers still rubbing her clit. "Yes Sev! Yes!" Her eyes rolled back in her head as an enormous orgasm shook her whole body. Hermione wailed and thrashed on the mattress, gripping the sheets as she arched her back and rode out her pleasure.
At last freed to seek his own relief he followed hers soon after. Gasping for air as he came hard, filling her with his sweet release, grunting and moaning her name. He was too weak to stay propped up over her, supporting his body by his arms on either side, and he dropped to the mattress like lead. Neither one had the strength to move or even speak.
When his breathing was more normal, he was able to pull her to his chest and wrap his arms around her. The warmth of her skin, the smell of her arousal making his cock twitch. Severus raised an eyebrow at its reaction and grinned but didn't move further. He would be ready again very soon, to Hermione's delight. Severus looked at the beautiful woman in his arms. She was snuggled into his side with such a look of happiness and contentment. A wandless spell pulled the covers back up from the floor and placed them gently on them both. A last sigh and they slept.

The new headmaster had taken over the running of things, which suited Severus. He spent his days in the dungeon labs making Hermione's potion and several others he wanted to keep on hand at their house. Phillip had volunteered to make potions for the Hogwarts infirmary. He was quite competent, and a notion began to take root in Severus' mind. The business of potions was a lucrative one, especially for quality. Phillip was in almost the same boat as he was. Perhaps they could be of assistance to each other when it was all said and done. He and Charlotte had taken a small apartment in Hogsmeade. Phillip had petitioned to the headmaster for a position as potion masters assistant, but had as yet no reply.
When it was time for Hermione's walk, Severus was at her door to make sure she did as the doctor had prescribed. Her appointments had gone well, but as the time for the tournament came closer, she became more agitated and stressed. He tried to help her out, but it was her show and she needed to make sure it was as perfect as possible. It would be her last effort here and it had to be right.
They had both met all the new handpicked staff by now. Headmaster Bloom had approved of them all and everyone was excited to begin. Hermione had gone to each one and introduced herself, asking if there was anything she could do for them. They had both been invited to tea more than once to tell stories of the old Hogwarts and their hopes of a new term. Everyone fawned over Hermione, and it was a source of pride for Severus. Not just because she was carrying his child, but that this magnificent, intelligent, stubborn woman belonged to him and he to her.
It didn't take long for the new headmaster to get under Severus' skin again. He had found Bloom and Hermione by the lake one day when he went to get her for her walk. He was concerned when he couldn't find her in her usual places. As he approached, he saw that they sat on a bench by the lake and Hermione was telling him about the tri wizard tournament, and the giant squid in the lake. He was beaming that smile again and Hermione was laughing and touching his arm. Severus had smoke coming out of his ears in anger and jealousy.
"I see you found someone to take you on your walk… wife. I would have liked for you to let me know, so I didn't spend twenty minutes looking for you. I was worried you might have fallen."
Bloom stood up and smiled blindingly at Severus. "So sorry old boy. We got to talking and didn't notice the time. My apologies." Severus' face was murderous. Old Boy? Just what did he mean by that? "Well, I'll just head back to my office now. It was a pleasant interlude Hermione. I hope to speak with you again soon." He kissed her hand and left humming.
Hermione was dumbfounded. She waited until the headmaster was out of hearing range. "Severus Snape! What is wrong with you? We were having an innocent conversation and you act like you found us snogging. It's nice to have someone other than a house elf to talk to you know. Especially with him being muggle born like me. He's charming and intelligent… and a perfect gentleman… Well!?"
Severus sat down on the bench next to her still angry but knowing he had over reacted. Hermione wasn't really, she just needed to let him know he was out of line. They both sat there in silence for several moments looking toward the lake. Severus began slowly. "My apologies. This spot… This spot is where you could find James and Lily if you cared to. I suppose it was a bit of a trigger for me when you said his name. Why is it every James I come across wants to steal my woman?"
Hermione sighed and covered her eyes. "Oh bugger."
