A/N: There's more fluffy goodness! Also, smut. You've been warned.

"Hermione, you're glowing!" Came the gleeful observation of Salome Snape.

The curly haired witch blushed prettily, pausing as she poured herself a cup of tea. She tightened the belt on her silk lilac robe, a shy smile on her lips. "Well, last night Severus told me he loved me," she admitted, grinning when the other brunette squealed and pulled her in for a hug.

"I was hoping he told you soon! I know you make him happy and I'm just glad that my brother has found someone to love and you love him in return right?" She pressed, a knowing smirk on her face.

Hermione nodded emphatically, "Of course I do. I'm just excited to finally be able to say it. I thought it was too soon. Now I know the timing was just right."

"Yes, I agree. And now I won't feel bad about leaving for Italy this morning. It seems that I'm needed back home, but I just wanted to say goodbye. Where's Severus?" Salome asked, and for the first time Hermione noticed that she was fully dressed and in the corner of her eye she saw a suitcase by the entryway.

Hermione's smile dimmed, "Oh you're leaving so soon? But we were just getting acquainted…. Oh please tell me that I can write to you? I feel like you and I were becoming fast friends. Oh, and last time I checked, Severus was in the loo. He should be down in a minute."

"Of course you can owl me! I was hoping you would! I don't have a lot of female friends so I'm grateful to have found one in you," Salome replied, smiling softly. "And yes, but I'll be back. Probably sooner rather than later. Besides, based on that glow I think I'm leaving at a good time. You two need your space so you can bask in this moment," the slightly older witch added sagely.

At that point the master of the house entered into the dining room in his monogrammed robe, greeting both women with a soft smile. "Good morning ladies. Salome, your suitcase is in the entryway. Are you leaving already?" He asked, joining them at the table. Seemingly without a thought, he instantly took Hermione's free hand and she knew that she was beaming again.

When the amber eyed witch looked up, Snape's sister gave her an indulgent smirk and nodded, "Unfortunately yes. I'm needed back home. And I dare say I won't be missed too much," she laughed. "Thanks for your hospitality and congratulations to you both. I hope that you have continued happiness. Now, I should get going. My international port key will be activated soon and I don't want to miss it."

Both Severus and Hermione stood, exchanging hugs with the foreign witch and well wishes for safe travel. When she left, Severus turned to her, a mischievous grin on his face. "Uh oh, what is that look for?" She questioned, although she had a sneaking suspicion.

"Well ...now that we have the Manor to ourselves, I was just thinking about how much I could truly enjoy my breakfast this morning," he answered simply.

Oh. That wasn't at all what she'd thought he'd say. Perhaps she hadn't read that smirk right. "Well you're in luck, Lola scored us some apricot jam." She moved to take her seat at the table only to have Severus cross in front of her and steal her seat. "What are you doing?"

"I'm having breakfast," he stated simply, whilst grabbing her by the waist and plopping her onto the table. Hermione gasped, still confused, but interested to see what he did next. She was unprepared for his long fingers to sweep up her legs and push up her silk teddy while his teeth untied the belt on her robe. She was instantly exposed because she wore no knickers and he licked his lips at the sight. "Accio apricot jam," he called, and the jar flew into his outstretched hand. The next thing she felt was a cold, wet, substance dripping onto her thighs and down her slit. And then his head bent forward and she was trembling as his tongue slid across her flesh. Eagerly lapping up the sweet, citrus preserves.

"Oh God…." she breathed, arching into his mouth, her hands reaching down to affectionately rake through his silky long raven locks. "Severus!" She cried when his tongue found its way inside her tight opening. Darting in and out in a frustrating manner. Her walls flexing in anticipation.

He lifted his head and grinned, spooning out more jam and spreading it across her mound. This time his eyes made contact with her own as he licked it up. That is until he became focused on the task at hand, latching onto her needy clit and sucking. Hermione nearly bucked off the table when he did that, especially when a lone finger probed her pucker and slid into her all the way to his third knuckle. She was finding she quite liked that full feeling and when combined with his tongue lapping at her now sopping wet cunt, she knew she was close to climaxing. "God I love this," came Severus's lustful baritone.

"L-Love wha-what? The jam?" She asked, not thinking clearly. Her mind was essentially mush at this point.

"No, your pussy," he answered and that did it. She came right then. A soft cry escaped her mouth as she tugged on his hair, her body tensing. He didn't give her time to recover and within seconds he was ramming his hard cock into her hungry vagina. His mouth met hers in a slightly sloppy, passionate kiss. He tasted of jam and her own essence and the reminder of his erotic actions and made her wetter, if possible. She pushed the robe off of his body, desperate to feel only skin as he pumped into her. Both of them groaned when he slowed to a teasing pace. His own hands tugged at her teddy, pulling it over her lifted arms and flinging it behind her back. With her breasts now bare, he bent his head and sucked.

"Oh my god, baby…." she moaned, rubbing his back, clutching him closer. Her hands swept across his rippling muscles. And then they were kissing again and Severus sped up, and her moans soon turned into shrieks. In the background you could hear the clatter of silverware and the other dishes, the creaking of the table and the thudding their actions were causing along with the wet sounds of a rigid cock pistoning in and out of a tight, wet pussy.

"Hermione…" she heard him groan in her ear, as her nails raked down his back, and her walls clenched around him.

"That's it, cum with me love. Please, I want you to fill me Severus. I love you! Fill me up, give me all of you!" She cried, her second orgasm taking hold as he roared to completion, giving a few quick pumps before tensing up, his throbbing cock twitching inside her and coating her walls with his sperm.
