Seven - Forever!

Severus muttered the password, "Beautiful", and pulled at the ring in the nose of the gargoyle. The statue slid back into the wall and stairs appeared. He waited for Bellatrix to pass and closed the hidden entrance behind him. They climbed the stairs, a lot of them, before they reached a heavy wooden door. Snape took a key out of his pocket and unlocked the door that opened itself after the lock was released.

Behind the door laid a small living room with a fireplace, two armchairs and some bookshelves next to the high window on the opposite wall. The furniture was old and had mahogany stuffing, and the heavy velvet curtains were a deep emerald with silver sparkling in the sunlight that lightened the room. The high ceiling was out of white stone, like the walls and the floor. Two doors led from the room into a study and a bedroom.

The study was similar to the sitting room, but instead of a fireplace and armchairs, there was a huge table and a chair. The floor was wooden in that room.

The bedroom suited the rest of the little flat, having the same colors and ancient furniture-style, but the wooden floor was hidden under thick, dark green carpets with a pattern of silver snakes and roses on them, just like the hangings around the huge bed. The sheets were silvery white satin and a beautiful Muggle-picture decorated the wall behind it:

A being, called "Angel" by the Muggles, stood on a rock in an deep blue- green sea in front of a blue sky, holding a bunch of white roses in his hands, silvery hair falling around him.

"I studied their religions a bit." Severus said, standing closely behind her in the middle of the bedroom, "This is the arch-angel Gabriel, the angel of water and purity. Do you like it?"

"Yes, it's beautiful."

"Not half as beautiful as you, my love!"

"Sev-"

He silenced her with a kiss. "I -kiss- love -kiss- you -kiss- so -kiss- much!" he breathed against her neck, snuggling his head deeper in the curve under her ear, suckling the sensitive skin. She sighed blissfully. "I missed you!"

He walked her backwards against the bed, until she laid down on it, pulling him with her. His hands quickly opened the buttons of her robe, pulling it off. Underneath, she wore a tight fitting shirt and some worn-out jeans. His fingers nestled with the button, while she pulled the shirt off and exposed her well-formed, milky-white breasts. His robes had fallen to the floor long ago and were quickly joined by his pants and boxers, until they were both naked.

Her arms were thrown around his shoulders, pulling him close, kissing hard, while he stroked up her inner thighs. She moaned in delight and spread her legs for him to kneel between them. His mouth wandered deeper, moving to one nipple, enclosing the pinkish butt with his teeth gently and sucking it, feeling how it got hard under the seductive ministrations.

He gasped when she grabbed his cock and pumped him gently to full hardness, while their tongues battled fiercely behind the joined, bruised lips.

When she spread her legs wider, he put one hand deeper and began to stroke her clitoris, making her pant blissfully. She rubbed her hips against him to signal him, she was ready and needy and he positioned himself. "It has been so long, love!"

"I need you! Love you!"

"I love you more than anything else!"

Then he entered her, in one long swift movement. She moaned loud and scratched her fingernails along his back. He knew it would hurt under the rough fabric of the robes he usually wore, but it didn't bother him, while the pain mixed with pleasure.

Again he thrust forward, hard and deep, making both of them pant with need for release, while he brought her to orgasm, following quickly after.

She cuddled against him, pulling the blankets higher. He put an arm around her waist and pulled her closer. "I love you. I can't say it often enough, you drive me crazy!"

"We forgot a contraceptive charm, dear."

"I don't mind, do you?"

"Another bastard?" she joked.

"I'd like that."

"Me too."

"May I ask you question?"

"You already asked one, but you may ask another one, darling."

Suddenly he turned her around and pulled her in a sitting position on the side of the bed, before he kneeled on the floor in front of her. "Will you marry me?"

"Oh - oh Severus! I don't know what to say - eh, of course I know - yes, I will. Yes!"

"I love you, I vow I'll always protect you and your child!"

"This is so sweet of you, oh Merlin, I'm not going to cry!" but she did.

He sat beside her and pulled the woman on his lap, hugging her briefly and kissing her hair. She lifted her head and kissed him back, smiling brightly under her tears of joy. "Forever!"
