Disclaimer: None of it belongs to me.  You know the drill, I get nothing, it all belongs to J.K. Rowling…the lucky witch.

Author's Note: Okay, so here's a little extra for those that want it.  I realize that after a long and torturous wait, I let some of you down by making the ending very PG.  I have decided to add this last little chapter for those that love a little Severus/Hermione burning love.  Be forewarned that the following chapter has explicit sex in it…if you don't like that, then don't read it.

Chapter Seventeen – A Night Together

"It seems that I now have you trapped." Severus pulled out his wand to ward the door and cast a simple silencing charm.

"What do you plan to do with me now that you have trapped me in such a helpless state?"

"I would hardly ever call you helpless, Hermione. You can be a dangerous witch."

"I promise to be bad if you come over her and show me how I really make you feel."

Severus smiled evilly and stalked slowly over to Hermione. "I can tell life will never be boring with you."

Hermione giggled at Severus' words and watched him approach her with confidence.  Her eyes began to sparkle with lust and love as he came closer.  Once Severus reached her he grabbed her waist and pulled her body next to his.  Hermione looked up into his eyes and melted into his gaze.  She bit her bottom lip nervously from his nearness.  All of sudden she was nervous.  She wanted this moment to happen for so long, and now she was at a loss at what to do. 

Severus was close enough to feel his hot breath as it passed over her flushed cheek.  Their noses glided over each others as Severus looked longingly at her lips.

"Hermione, you better not leave me this time.  I need you tonight, and I will not let you leave once you are mine."

Hermione shivered at the sound of his deep voice; his breath ran across her ears with each word.  "I'll never leave.  You are mine Severus, and I'm never letting you go."

With those simple words Severus pulled away slightly to look into her eyes.  He saw the commitment and love that she had for him and knew that he was home.  Severus closed his lips over Hermione's and wrapped his arms around her.  The kiss was slow and sweet, but utterly complete.  Hermione moved to his every touch as her body begged for more.  Severus heard a small moan escape Hermione from deep inside her throat and became inflamed with lust.

He prodded her mouth for entrance and was greeted with complete openness.  Hermione moved her hands up to run her fingers through his hair.  She pressed her body closer and moved one knee up to wrap her leg around his waist.  She wanted to desperately get closer, but didn't know how.

Severus used this as a sign to get things moving faster.  He broke off the kiss and forcefully pushed Hermione on her bed.  She gasped with surprise and smiled wickedly from the thrill.  Severus and Hermione were panting wildly in short breathes.  Severus started to unbutton his many buttons on his coat, when Hermione sat up on her knees on the bed and stopped his hands. 

"Let me do that."  Severus watched silently as she took her time to unbutton each and button.  She used her free hand to roam over the newly exposed white shirt; the only thing that kept her from her destination.  Once she had divulged Severus of his coat she moved up to his shirt and pulled the ends free from his trousers.  She grinned like a school girl as she reached her hands under his shirt to feel the warm chest of her new lover beneath her fingers.  Severus closed his eyes at the feel of her soft hands covering his flesh for the first time. 

"Oh Hermione, you don't know what you do to me."

"Just wait, I can do so much more."  Hermione pulled her hands out from under his shirt and became frustrated with the number of buttons left to undo.  Finally she grabbed the shirt from either side and ripped it open with a quick pull.  Buttons flew off and bounced around the cold stone floor.  Severus opened his eyes suddenly in slight shock; but soon forgot what he was going to say as Hermione moved down to kiss and lick his chest.  Hermione loved the feel of his toned chest.  She wanted to taste all of him and more.  She ran her tongue up the middle of his chest and stopped only to pay attention to his nipples. 

Severus was enjoying it all so much, but was starting to feel that Hermione was a little too overdressed for the occasion.  As Hermione continued to pinch and kiss at him, Severus started to unbutton her shirt and pull the offending garment from her body. 

Severus was greeted with a beautiful sight as Hermione's breasts were fully opened to his eyes; since she had chosen not to wear a bra that evening.  Severus grabbed her breasts and began to pinch and fondle them.  He wanted to taste her.

Hermione finally moved up to Severus's face and stared at him intensely.  She teasingly licked his lips once with her tongue.  Severus became incensed with passion and savagely attacked her lips.  They fought for control as they each rubbed their up against each other.  Hermione moaned loudly at the sensations that were taking over her body.  Her hard and sensitive nipples were pressed against his chest, the rubbing causing pleasure she didn't know possible. 

Hermione couldn't keep her balance much longer as she feel deeper into a state of arousal.  She grabbed Severus' shoulders and pulled him onto the bed.  Once he was laying down in front of her, she straddled his hips and kissed him with everything that she had.  Her hips instinctively bucked slightly on top of his erection, as they created friction between the many layers of remaining clothes.  Severus hissed at the sensation and grasped her hips in a way to slow her movements a little.

"These clothes are getting in the way."  Severus grumbled as he tried to pull at the clasp on her skirt.

"I can take care of that."  Hermione leaned over to the side of the bed and grabbed her wand.  With a quick flick of the wand and few soft chants they were both naked.

Severus groaned at the sudden flesh contact that was very apparent on his erection.  Hermione rocked slightly in the same manner she was before and leaned down to kiss his collar bone.

"I think we should change things up a bit.  Unless you want this to be over soon."  Severus knew he couldn't take much more of that kind of stimulation, as his arousal strained for release.  Severus sat up to meet Hermione and kissed her lips as he rolled the both of them over on the bed.  Hermione moaned with content at each small movement.

Severus began to kiss down Hermione's neck and taste every inch of her.  Hermione shivered as he traveled down her body and came to her breasts.  He took one in his mouth as he fondled the other with his hand.  After his careful attention to both of her breasts he moved further down.  Severus reached her belly button and playfully licked inside as he roamed his hands over her hips.  He moved still further down and felt her open her legs slightly in anticipation of his arrival.  Severus ran one hand across her belly just above the dark curls that led him to his destination.  His other hand moved slowly up one of her thighs as he faced her core.  Hermione shook when she felt his hot breathe move over her.  Severus kissed each thigh and moved his hands up to her core.  Hermione closed her eyes and moaned with the new contact. 

Severus kissed her and began to lick at her inner folds.  He used one hand to push a finger slightly in her.  Hermione gasped as she felt him find her clit and roll it slowly over his tongue.

He continued his ministrations and began to drive her wild.  Hermione was breathing hard and coming closer to going over the edge.  Severus entered her with two fingers and began to stimulate her with both of his hands.  He looked up at her face and watched the pleasure wash over her.

"Come for me Hermione.  I want to see you."  Hermione opened her eyes as the sudden wave of pleasure began to surge through her body.  She looked down to meet his eyes and rode out the intense climax.

At this point Severus became fully aware of his aroused state.  He moved up to reach her mouth and kissed her softly.  Hermione tasted herself and reveled in every second.  She moved her legs to allow him entrance.  Severus situated himself at her entrance and pressed his arousal lightly on her.  Hermione moaned and begged him to please continue. 

Severus kissed her lips savagely and pressed himself forcefully in.  Hermione took in a sharp breath as she felt him completely in her.  Severus groaned at the sudden sensation and waited a little before he began to move in and out in a slow and loving motion.

Hermione wrapped her arms around his back and began to scratch with her nails as she came overcome with it all.  She met each thrust with her hips. 

Severus began to move faster.  He placed his forehead against hers and looked his gaze with hers.  They both were breathing hard as their rhythm became frantic.  Hermione let out a cry as she bucked up harder from the contact.

Severus nuzzled his nose in her neck and began to move wildly.  Her grabbed her hips to try and keep some control as his thrusts started to became powered with need. 

Hermione held on as she felt her body start to climax once again. 

"Oh Merlin!!!  Severus!!!!!"  Hermione became lost in her orgasm as she continued to move with Severus.

"Hermione, Hermione, Hermione."  Severus began to chant her name softly in her ear with each thrust.  He needed her.   Severus felt himself start to lose control and groaned loudly at release.  When he came to the end of his release he thrust up into her hard one last time as softly saying 'mine' into her ear.

Severus layed down on top of Hermione as they both tried to get their breathing under control.  Severus realized that he was laying on Hermione and pushed up on his hands to move.  Hermione grabbed him tightly and held him next to her on top of her body. 

"Hermione, I weigh too much, let me get off of you."

Hermione just smiled up at him, "I love the feel of you pressed on top of me.  I want to stay this way for awhile…if that's ok."

Severus kissed her nose and then her lips in a sweet chaste kiss and layed back down on top of her.  Severus closed his eyes as he started to feel tears form at the corners of his eyes.  He was no longer alone, and Hermione was his love.

Hermione sighed contently as she traced her fingers slowly along Severus's back, tickling him. 

After a little while they moved to get under the covers.  Hermione laid on her side as Severus spooned up against her with his arm around her waist.  He kissed small kisses along the back of her neck and rubbed her belly as they laid there.  Slowly they both feel asleep in each other's arms. 

Hermione knew her dreams would be good that night, because finally her life was complete.  She would never be alone and would always be safe from harm with Severus by her side.

The End

Okay, I warned you all of the R rating in this chapter.  I hope you all like my first attempt at a sex scene.  I was a little flustered at trying to describe all the events and keep things moving along.  But, like all things, time and experience will make things better.

Thank you for all your help and reviews throughout this long time.  I appreciate every word.    -CelticWords
