CHAPTER 25 Fighting Temptations... And Failing Miserably!
"I missed you!" Ron groaned while trying to kiss her and all Hermione could do was smile back and kiss him back just as fiercely. The need and desperation between them was electrifying as Hermione struggled with the heat welling up inside her. They miraculously steered their way through the hall and up the stairs, something that if Ron wouldn't have been so occupied at the time, would have found quite a feat.
"I missed you too", Hermione moaned pulling away from Ron's lips long enough to utter those words. She leaned away from him to gaze into his clear blue eyes, her breath taken away by the intensity and passion she saw welled up in their clear aquamarine orbs. Ron's arms were around her waist, not letting her go, while Hermione's own arms were tightly wrapped around his neck, her fingers brushing against the sensitive skin at the base of Ron's neck, that was driving him crazy. Hermione smiled at Ron, as she felt his warmth radiating off him.
"Stop looking at me like that Hermione Granger, or I might be forced to do unspeakable things to you!" Ron growled pulling her closer and kissing her fiercely, to which Hermione could only giggle and kiss him back. With a backwards movement of his right hand Ron had opened the bedroom door and led Hermione inside, still holding tightly to her, as if afraid of losing her. Once they stepped past the threshold of Ron's bedroom the kissing changed as did their own actions. Suddenly a desperation came above both of them to be free of their binding clothes and without a backwards thought they began ripping each others clothes off, Ron actually managing to rip off a few buttons on Hermione's shirt as he struggled to remove the offensive article of clothing from her. Since Ron was clad in only his boxers, Hermione took to feeling every muscle on his chest, running her hands over his six pack that he had developed over the years, kissing every new inch of skin she discovered. Ron cupped her bum, drawing her tighter to him, breathing hot kisses down her neck as she groaned against him. Without a backwards thought, Hermione's blouse lay in a crumpled heap on the floor and soon forgotten about as Ron pulled down her bra, just enough to let one taunt nipple show. Looking like a dog who found a bone, Ron cupped her naked breast, bending down low to suckle at the nipple, teasing it with his teeth. Hermione moaned against his neck, loving the feel of Ron's lips on her bare skin, drawing him closer with the arms that were wrapped around his neck. With his body pressed to tightly to her, Hermione could feel how much she had affected him, for he was hard and pressing firmly into her stomach. Hermione unwrapped herself from Ron and gently backed away from him, breathing heavily, her hair tousled from Ron's fingers running through it, her lips were swollen and red and her heart was beating frantically against her chest, so hard she was sure it was going to break free at any moment. She looked at Ron who was also breathing heavily and when Ron made to take a step towards her, she held out her hand.
"Wait Ron, I need to know something first", Hermione gasped as Ron took another step towards her, hunger and passion burning in his eyes.
"I don't think I can wait much longer. You're driving me crazy!" Ron growled taking another step towards her and Hermione was forced to take a step backwards to avoid being wrapped in his arms again. Though that wasn't a bad thing at all, quite the contrary, but right at that moment she needed her wits and that she could only have if she wasn't wrapped in his strong arms.
"What about Krista?" she gasped looking Ron all over, noticing that though he was wearing only his boxers, he still looked dishevelled.
"What about her?" Ron growled taking one more step towards her, once again forcing Hermione to back away again.
"Do you love her?" Hermione asked.
"No, I love you!" Ron replied taking a few more steps towards her, forcing Hermione to back into a corner with no means of escape except past Ron, and he looked like he wouldn't allow her anywhere. Ron placed his arms on the wall, thereby effectively trapping in Hermione. He leant down and kissed a trail down her neck to which Hermione could only respond by groaning.
She pushed Ron away from her, but managing only to make him stop his onslaught of kisses on her neck. "Are you still with her?"
"No" Ron said and he placed his full attention on her. "She dumped me after that fight. And she was right, I needed to sort out my story and what I wanted".
"And what is that?" Hermione asked apprehensively.
"What I want is standing in front of me, looking like I'm about to give her the worst news ever", Ron replied seriously though the corners of his mouth curved upwards in a smile at the last part. "Now will you stop worrying about everything and let me kiss you, because if you hold me back anymore, I might just explode!" Hermione chuckled and seeing her smile, Ron captured her lips in a hungry kiss. "And if you think you're going anywhere think again, I can take you right here!" Hermione's mouthed an Oh, and before she could say anything Ron was hungrily kissing her once more, his hands that had been trapping her in the corner once again began their wandering up Hermione's stomach and upon finding her chest, began their assault on them once more. Hermione was too caught up in hungrily kissing Ron back to notice this, or much else at that moment. Soon her bra joined the small pile of crumpled clothes on the floor, thanks to Ron's clever work with his fingers and she was standing in front of Ron with nothing but her trousers on, yet at that moment she didn't feel ashamed as she would have in front of anyone else. After-all this was the same lanky eighteen year old who first captured her heart all those years ago.
Ron's fumbling hands became more frantic and it was not long before he started unzipping her trousers, pushing them to her knees. Hermione responded by kicking them off as she concentrated all her attention to kissing Ron, her hair deeply entwined in his fiery red hair. Ron brushed aside her knickers and with two carefully placed fingers, pushed past her folds and deep into her centre.
"Oh Ron!" Hermione cried out, holding on tightly to his shoulders for fear of her legs giving way, for the pleasure she was feeling was too intense. Ron's fingers were slickly moving in and out of her, causing her to cry out more than once and sending her near the edge. It had been too long for her, far too long and here was Ron causing all those intense feelings to come back again. Hermione thrust her hips closer to him, her back arching into him as she clung tightly to his shoulders, feeling the heat rise within her to boiling point.
As the heat rose within her, and her orgasm neared she cried out, "Oh God Ron!" clinging tightly to his shoulders, but just a second before she would have come, Ron pulled his fingers out of her.
"Why'd you stop?" Hermione breathed, looking at him disappointed.
"I want to be inside you when you come", Ron growled licking his fingers that had been inside her only seconds before.
"I can't stand this much more!" Hermione panted, her breathing going back to normal. "I want you here and now!" she commanded and with that she began kissing him fiercely once more, her tongue demanding entrance as she led him towards the bed. She broke the kiss and looked at him seductively, pushing him onto the bed and standing over him.
"My, my Ron", she purred climbing on top of him, holding herself up with her arms as she kissed him lightly in the groove between Ron's ear and jaw.
"I need you too", Ron growled capturing her lips in a long kiss, from which Hermione pulled away from.
"Ah now Mr Weasley, we'll have to teach you some patience!" Hermione chuckled, taking a firm hold of Ron's boxers and pulling them to his knees. There standing gloriously erect in front of her, was Ron's manhood and what a sight it was. Hermione stroked the base of it lightly, causing Ron to buck his hips in anticipation.
"'Mione!" Ron moaned, "Please!"
"Tut, tut, tut!" Hermione purred, brushing along his length once more, circling his base with her fingers and tracing intricate patterns along his length. The sight in front of her fascinated her, and like she was with everything else, she began studying him once more. She grabbed him tightly around his width and with gentle strokes began moving her hand up and down, causing Ron to groan.
"Don't tease me 'Mione!" Ron moaned, but Hermione just continued with her actions, moving her hand quicker up and down his length. Then suddenly she stopped and Ron looked up to see why she had stopped. She was smiling mischievously at him and then took his full length in her mouth, sucking him hard.
This time it was Ron's turn to cry out "Oh God!" Hermione continued with her assault, taking his full length in her mouth, then sucking hard and starting from the start again. Within minutes Ron was lying back on the bed, unable to move much as the pleasure he was feeling was over-whelming him. His own release was close and if he didn't stop Hermione soon he would come hard in her mouth.
"Stop Hermione, stop!" he breathed pulling away from her. He pulled her towards him on the bed and captured her lips in a searing kiss, tasting himself on her lips. He quickly kicked off his boxers and pulled her closer to him, flipping her over so she was lying below him. "I want to be inside me when I come", he breathed in her ear and when he saw her smile at him, he entered her slowly. Burying himself to the hilt, Ron was dimly aware of Hermione crying out, but he was too preoccupied with the pleasure he was feeling. Starting slowly first, their tempo increased and the only sounds that could be heard in the room, were Ron and Hermione's moans and the sound of their two bodies frantically slapping into each other. Hermione was nearing her own peak, the intense heat was once more welling up deep inside her, was rising and threatening to over-power her with the force. She buried her head in the crook of Ron's neck as her own orgasm came with such force upon her, her thighs clenched tightly and she cried out Ron's name and collapsed into his arms, feeling nothing more than the bliss that was surrounding her. With Hermione's orgasm coming upon her so quick, Ron was nearing his own release and with Hermione's orgasm it pushed him further over the edge. He gripped Hermione's shoulders tightly as his own release washed over him, a haze of multicoloured stars exploded at the back of his eyes, the power of his release making him cry out. He whispered Hermione's name over and over again, as he collapsed on top of her, his energy spent.
"I love you Hermione", Ron whispered raising his head and smiling at her.
Hermione smiled back simply and kissed him on the lips, replying, "I love you too Ron". Ron snuggled tighter to Hermione as she wrapped her arms around them, sleep beckoning both of them and a few minutes later they were both asleep, wrapped tightly in each other's arms.
Hermione blearily opened her eyes for the sun was shining right into them, but when the blinding sun hit her sleepy eyes, she shut them tightly and groaned. Why on earth didn't she draw the curtains before she went to bed. She rolled over, in the hopes of getting a few more hours sleep, when a thought hit her. The sun never shone through her bedroom window in the morning.
Damn!
Now Hermione was fully awake, as her eyes sprang open, taking in the scene around her. She was in a bedroom she had never been in before and the sun was shining in through the open window. She rolled over and to her relief and surprise she saw Ron lying beside her, the quilt tangled around his long legs, his head lying haphazardly over the edge of the bed, his fiery red hair tousled and standing on edge and his arms sprawled wide. Hermione smiled as she turned around to look properly at him, drawing the quilt up higher over her naked body and rested herself on her elbow as she observed Ron. He really was quite cute in the morning. With his tousled hair and innocent look on his eyes, he looked no older than fifteen, though he had grown an aura around him that spoke of maturity and sense. Hermione smiled and leaned down to kiss him lightly on the lips, something she was hoping he wouldn't awake from, but nevertheless he began stirring, groaning as he opened his eyes.
"Hermione?" he said groggily.
"Morning Ron", Hermione smiled at him.
"Morning", Ron replied smiling back at her, rubbing his eyes and opening them properly to view Hermione.
"Did you sleep well?" Hermione chuckled.
"Brilliantly, why do you ask?" Ron replied yawning and stretching, taking up even more room than before, if that would be possible.
"Because you're taking up three-quarters of the bed, most of the blanket is wrapped around your legs and your arms seem to need a lot of space", Hermione chuckled.
"Well you didn't seem to mind yesterday", Ron replied a glint in his eye. "Anyway I'm not used to sharing my bed that often".
"Oh is that so?" Hermione asked, drawing the quilt up higher and looking at him, mock offended.
"But for you I'll make an exception", Ron smiled and then drew his arms out to her. "Come here Hermione". Hermione smiled and laid herself down beside Ron, letting him wrap his strong arms around her.
"So what do you have planned for today?" Hermione asked looking up at him.
Ron looked down at her face and kissed her nose, replying, "Well I plan to have another few goes with you and maybe get out of bed around midday for some breakfast", Ron smiled mischievously.
"Come on Ron, I'm serious!" Hermione cried looking up at him affronted.
"I am, I have no intention of letting you out of this bed before twelve, so don't even try and argue with me!" Ron replied placidly. "You had better not have anything important planned", Ron added raising an eyebrow at her, making Hermione giggle.
"Its Sunday!" Hermione cried giggling even more.
"Well knowing you, you'll probably go to work and be the only one there!" Ron replied cheekily.
"Ron!" Hermione cried. "You know work isn't the only thing I care about!"
"Oh and what else were you planning on doing?" Ron asked genuinely curious now.
"I was planning on seeing Harry!" Hermione replied dignified. Then she lowered her face and looked at Ron's arms wrapped around her. There was silence.
"You're worried about Harry aren't you?" Ron asked soothingly, causing Hermione to look up at him and nod her head slowly.
"I don't know what's wrong with him, and I hate it that I can't help or figure this thing out", Hermione sighed.
"You will figure this out, just give yourself some time and Harry's strong. I'm sure he'll come out of this in his own time", Ron said soothingly making Hermione smile.
"I'm just so worried and that gets me worked up".
"Don't let it, now I want you to relax and just lie here with me ok?" Ron asked to which Hermione nodded her head and smiled.
"For now, there's no problems, no explosions and no comatose best friend", Ron added rubbing her back with his hands, whispering nonsense into her ear to which Hermione could only smile. They lay like this for a few minutes, each revelling in the comfortable silence that had settled on both of them, when Hermione snapped them both out of their reverie.
"Say Ron", Hermione asked and Ron looked down at her. "What would you say if I asked you to tell me what you thought was 'The greatest thing there is'?"
"Why do you say that?" Ron asked frowning slightly.
"Just a general curiosity, I'm trying to work on something", Hermione replied looking up at him, their gazes meeting.
"Well I would say love, but that's just me", Ron mused.
"Love?" Hermione asked perplexed. "Why would you say that?"
"Well mum has always raised us to believe that the greatest thing you could wish for was to be loved and sure wasn't it that what saved Harry form Voldemort when he was a baby. Harry told us that Dumbledore had told him that love was very powerful", Ron mused. "Does that help with whatever you were working on?"
"I don't know", Hermione said thinking. "Surely it can't be that easy?"
"Why not, What else is so great and powerful?"
"But that would mean that the power of the book was love alone. No it has to be something else. I mean love can't be tampered with", Hermione said perplexed.
"Sure it can", Ron said frowning himself as he looked down at Hermione. "I mean if you tell someone in love lies about their partner, that's tampering with it, for it will make the person doubt the other and therefore doubt their love".
"God that's quite a good point. Where did you learn of things like this?" Hermione asked drawing away from Ron al little to scrutiny him.
"Come on Hermione, give me some credit will you? Just because I don't like books very much, doesn't mean I'm stupid and know nothing!" Ron frowned at her.
"I'm sorry Ron, I didn't mean it like that", Hermione replied quickly. "Its just you've never been that clued in when it comes to emotions".
"Well I know some things!" Ron frowned.
"I don't think I'll ever understand you fully!" Hermione said amazed and then kissed him lightly on the lips, deepening the kiss.
"I'll forgive you this time", Ron frowned but then smiled at her. "But only this once!" He leaned in and kissed Hermione back, deepening the kiss and drawing her closer to him. When they finally came up for air again, Hermione smiled at him as she snuggled closer for comfort.
"Say Hermione?" Ron asked and Hermione raised her head to look at him. "What are you doing the rest of the day?"
"Well I was going to go to my office and work on this book theory that you have. See if love could really be it, and then I was going to go and visit Harry. Why do you ask?" Hermione asked.
"Well...this is going to sound so stupid", Ron said blushing furiously as he struggled with the words, but Hermione ran her hand over his cheek and smiled at him. "I was wondering if you would like to go to lunch with me, as a date", Ron finished the last part quickly. When he noticed Hermione thinking he added hastily. "I mean you don't have to!"
Hermione looked up at him and smiled and added, "Of course I would like to. Shall we say about two in the Elf's Den in Diagon Alley?"
"Yeah and afterwards we can go and see Harry!", Ron replied and smiled down at her.
"But now I have to go and work", Hermione said sitting up, the quilt still wrapped tightly around her.
"Oh come on Hermione, stay another while", Ron pouted.
"I can't Ron, I have a lot to do before lunch", Hermione chuckled as she kissed Ron lightly on the lips and got out of bed and began her search for her underwear.
