Chapter 3 An Unexpected Thanks
Hey again! I read over my last chapter and I have everything planned out! I write so often, it scares me, so the next chapter after this will be up soon. I hope you R/R Hint, Hint so yeah! Anyways, here it goes!
Disclaimer – Does Kit, sound like J.K.Rowling to you? I didn't think so! So anyways, that means I'm not her, I don't own Harry Potter, I only own the idea's and made up names, and if the names are yours, which I try really hard not to do, than I am so sorry, but you should be happy that your name is really cool and is being used in my story! Enough with this, get on with the story!
Hermione had been standing there all night long, having men of many different ages, some that smelled of smoke and beer, coming in and looking her over and touching her in spots where she would much rather not have them touch her.
None had bought her though, because Dallik had priced her so high for some reason. She had found herself making conversation with the scared girl beside her, looking about fourteen. She had run away from home, hoping life away from her abusive parents would be better than where she was now.
"It will be okay." Hermione said. "Just keep believing it."
The girl, whose name was Shandi, shook her head. "Thanks, but I know better than to believe that shit."
Hermione laughed. "You're a little smarter than me I guess. Its funny really, its only the sort of stuff you hear about in books, you never expect it to be where you are." She said, looking down.
Shandi nodded. "Thanks Hermione. You gave me hope, in a strange sort of way." She said.
Hermione laughed. "I'm glad I could, Shandi."
Just then, a fat bulky man pushed his way in the door. He looked over at Shandi. He grinned and hit her butt.
"Her." He said to Dallik, pointing at Shandi.
Dallik nodded. "Very nice choice sir, she is on the low price of three-hundred and fifty."
The man grunted a hit, but still paid up. "Better be worth it…" He muttered.
Dallik untied Shandi and the fat man grabbed her and dragged her out of the store.
"LET GO OF ME YOU BASTARD! TAKE YOUR GRIMY LITTLE PAWS OFF ME! HELP!" Shandi screamed and kicked with all her might, but the man shoved her in the back seat of his car and pushed by a man in a long light brown coat and a fedora hat.
The car drove off and Hermione looked helplessly out after it. She looked over and saw the eyes of the man that was shoved out of the way on her. She looked away quickly, but she could still feel his eyes on her.
There was a ring of a bell, signalling that someone had walked in. She peered over and saw the man in the trench coat still looking at her. She lifted her head higher and stood strongly. She didn't want to give up her fight, and this man was not going to take her.
"How much is she?" The man whispered to Dallik.
Dallik laughed. "Well sir, she is of the highest quality…" He said. "So we have her on for two thousand."
"What?" The man asked in shock. "But you sold that last man's woman for only…"
Dallik sighed. "All right sir, one thousand."
"Five hundred." The trench coat man said.
"I took off a thousand dollars! You should at least be able to pay be half of what she is worth! Look at that piece of ass- sculpted work I tell you! Even the great artist Leonardo D, wouldn't doubt that!" Dallik said.
The man in the trench coat reached for his wallet and pulled out the money, counting them in fifties and twenties. He gave over three one hundred bills and finally another twenty to seal the deal.
Dallik smiled and untied Hermione, still keeping her hands bound with rope. "The other one sure made a fuss, and we can't attract too much attention." Said Dallik, "So I'll just tape her mouth shut. Don't worry, it wont ruin her lips, which will still be perfect for you pleasure." He said.
The man thanked Dallik and grabbed Hermiones' arms. He pulled her out of the store, and Hermione made no motion as to try to get away. She had seen Shandi's efforts, and she didn't want to try and fail.
The man walked quickly with her down the dark streets of New York and he turned toward the docks. He walked onto the dock of where his boat-home seemed to be, and Hermione tripped and fell to the ground.
The man still said nothing, and he knelt beside her and took out a pocketknife. Hermione held her breath. He wasn't going to kill her, was he? She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"That was really stupid of you, you know." The man said calmly. "How the hell did you get yourself into that situation?" He asked. He started to cut away at the rope around her hands. "And I'm surprised to see you here, you know. New York doesn't seem to be the place you would like."
Hermione looked at him in confusion. He threw the rope down to the side of her and he looked up at her. She couldn't see his eyes, but she could feel them looking her over. He reached up and took his hat off, revealing his grey eyes and blonde hair.
Hermione looked at him in surprise and he reached up and pulled the tape off her mouth.
"Draco…" Hermione whispered.
He nodded. The moon shimmered off the water as they heard it hit against the shore and the moon and stars made just enough light to see their faces.
"Oh my god…" She said, holding her hand over her heart. "You're the one who bought me? And now you're going to…"
He laughed. "No… only if you want me to, I mean, I don't want to hurt your feelings by saying I don't want to and everything." He said.
Draco took off his trench coat and his sweater. He pulled his sweater over her head and he smiled at her. He was wearing baggy blue jeans and a black shirt with a silver chain necklace. His hair wasn't totally slicked back, it had a few strands down and he hadn't used a lot of gel.
Hermione stood up with him and let his sweater make her body warm as it smelled of pepper. Not the sort of pepper that makes you sneeze, but the sort that was spicy and made you feel warm inside.
She didn't bother to pull the sleeves up on the sweater, because the arms were too long for her. She just let her hands stay in and keep warm. She hugged him tightly and started to tell him what had happened while he was gone.
"What are you talking about?" Draco asked.
"Victor has gone mad and sleeping around with everyone, he was trying to hurt me, and kill me with his gun, and then I ran and took the first flight and met Dallik, signed a contract because I needed work, and I got myself into a really big mess and…" Hermione stopped as Draco put a finger to her lips.
Hermione paused and looked into his eyes. They were the kind of eyes you could get lost in forever, the kind of eyes that made you want to forget everything. Draco moved his hand along her cheek and ran his thumb over her lips. Hermione breathed deeply and pulled closer to him.
Draco moved his hand down her neck, and wrapped both of his hands around her hips. His eyes moved from her eyes to her lips, and then back to her eyes. He pulled her close to him and moved his head down close to her lips and paused for a second. He stopped and bit his lip, looking away.
"Its okay…" Hermione whispered.
She took her hand and moved his face back toward her. She closed her eyes, and pulled him close to her, finally touching her lips with his. She took a deep breath in and moved more urgently toward him. Hermione opened her mouth slightly and allowed him to push his tongue into her mouth.
She moved her mouth with his, her body pressing closer to his and she could feel his heart beating against his chest onto hers. She could feel him breathing and she could smell his sexy fragrance.
Draco pulled away from the kiss and smiled at her. She smiled back at him, looking into his eyes. He took her by the hips and lifted her into the air, swinging her around and then kissing her lips once again.
Hermione giggled. "Draco…" She said.
"I take it you don't have anywhere to stay tonight?" He asked, picking up his coat and her purse.
She nodded. "Yeah…" She said.
"No worries. My boat has an extra room." He said.
Hermione looked at the boat. "I can't believe you live on a boat!" She said.
He laughed. "I can't either, but its roomy, its comfortable… and its affordable!"
Hermione laughed. "No, that's not it… Its just whenever we would cross the lake in Hogwarts in those boats, you used to be deathly afraid of them! You could tell that you were trying to cover it up!"
This time, Draco laughed. "Its just because those waters had the large creatures which in first year grabbed my leg and tried to pull me into the water. Then Hagrid came over and pulled me out of its grasp saying, 'don't worry, he's just a little hungry'. I didn't really like the feeling that something in the depths of the waters was trying to pull me out of the boat to have me as a snack."
Hermione smiled and giggled a bit. "Okay, I can understand that." She said.
He smiled and brought her into the boat. It was comfortable in they're, all draped in velvet and deep reds and purples. There were also deep greens, blacks and a little brown. He led her down the hall and there were two doors at the very end.
"My bedroom is here." He said pointing to the right. "The spare is right across from it."
Hermione smiled. "Thanks so much! I promise when I find a job and get more money, I will get a house and I wont bother you."
Draco leaned down and kissed her.
"You're not bothering me." He said.
Hermione laughed and kissed him again. "You are so romantic sometimes." She said.
Draco laughed. "If that's what you call romance… you know, saying that you're not bothering me." He said, kissing her neck.
Hermione smiled. "I've never really felt wanted. Being so out of place at school and having to hang with mostly guys, which turned out to be not so bad. And then having a cheating lying, abusive fiancé…" She said.
Draco kissed her cheek. "You better get some sleep." He said.
Hermione smiled. "Thanks." She said.
Hermione smiled and closed her new bedroom door, after spending a minute staring into his eyes. She leaned against the door and sighed, jumping on the velvet bed and snuggling her face into the blankets. She was only on the bed for a couple of minutes until she had realized that she had fallen asleep.
Hey again! I hope you liked it, and I hope that it was good enough! Anyways, I must be more careful cause just when I was finished typing the kissing scene my mom came and almost read some of it! So I hid it and just pretended I was doing something else! Anyways, the next chapter is coming up! SO PLEASE R/R! Thanks!
