Disclaimer: See Chapter 1

Author's Notes: Hope you guys liked the first 4 chapters!  I made a mistake in counting in the previous chapter.  I said there were 11 more to go.  I meant to type-get this-8.  Sorry.  Anyway, like I said, Lucius as a "real" person comes out more as the story progresses, and that's basically what's happening here.  Actually, the story could do without this, but I thought it was cute…so, here it is…Warning!  This is a very short chapter!

ACT 1: THE COMING OF THE DARKNESS

CHAPTER 5

"Hold on to me love

You know I can't stay long…"

~My Last Breath by EVANESCENCE

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, LUCIUS MALFOY?!" Narcissa screamed as Lucius reappeared with a crack into the bedroom they shared.  He walked to his bed and fell onto it, facing the ceiling, and gave his wife no answer.  He merely looked up at the ceiling, Lilith still in his thoughts.  "LUCIUS, FOR MERLIN'S SAKE, ANSWER ME!" Narcissa shouted, stomping to the bed.  Lucius just turned and gave her a nonchalantly plain look.  "Work," he said, "Where else did you think?"

Narcissa threw her hands into the air.  "Gods above, Lucius!" she cried, "You could have been practically anywhere!  You could have at least told me you were leaving!  I was sick with worry, Lucius, SICK WITH WORRY!" "I'm touched," Lucius replied flatly, staring back up at the ceiling.  Narcissa moved to slap him, but as her arm came down, Lucius took it, and pulled her to the bed.  He shifted so that he hovered on top of her.  Without a word, he took her lips roughly, and she returned his kiss as such.  She locked him to her by gripping at his head, at his back, at his clothes, anything to keep him pressed against her.

His hands tangled in her hair as he brought the kiss to a slower, more tender pace.  He did love to kiss her.  He relished the sweet taste that was uniquely akin to his wife.  As his tongue entered her mouth to duel with hers, he reveled in the small moan that escaped her throat.  She was breathless when he pulled away.  "I hate it when you do that," she whispered as Lucius smiled down at her.  "Do what?" he asked with mock innocence, "I don't know what you're talking about?" "Lucius, you know I am at your mercy when you kiss me like that," Narcissa answered.  "I do," Lucius said, "So?" "So, now, I'm going to 'forget' to be mad at you, just because you kissed me like that," Narcissa replied, "Just don't worry me like that again." "I'll try," said Lucius, "If you could just help me with a huge problem…" Narcissa gave him a knowing smile.  "I think I can remedy that," she answered, and proceeded to rid him of his clothes.

A/N: I told you it was going to be short!  Anyway, on to the next chapter!
