Chapter 3- Leading up
Megan bit her lip and went around behind Draco's desk. She massaged his shoulders and smiled.
"Is it hard?"
He looked at her sharply.
"Your job. You seem stressed."
Draco relaxed a bit to her touch and sighed.
"Yeah. It is. I had to catch up the week I lost."
Megan turned his chair around to face her.
"Can I call you Dray?"
He smiled and sighed.
"Sure. Call me anything you want."
"Cool."
"What do I call you?"
"Anything you want."
His hand went around her waist.
"Anything?"
Megan smiled playfully.
"Hey, you are my husband after all. I can't deny you anything."
Draco's eyes turned smoky gray with desire.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
His breath was quick.
'We're gonna do it.'
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
She couldn't breathe.
'Are we really going to do this?'
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
'Oh God yes!'
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
'Oh God no!'
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
'I'm ready. I've been waiting so long.'
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
'I'm not ready. I'm not. I'm really not.'
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
"C'mon..."
Draco took her hand and began to lead her up the stairs to the master bedroom. She held him back.
"Wait!"
Draco turned to her.
"What?"
"I....I'm not ready yet."
Draco rolled his eyes and looked at her.
"I'm not, Draco. I'm really not. Its my first time and...I guess...I don't want it to be like this."
"We're married Megan. Its only natural..."
"Draco...this isn't natural and you know it."
Draco looked at her for a long time then sighed. All tension seemed to have been released. This had never happened to him before.
"Okay. I understand. We'll take it slow."
"Thanks."
Draco walked her to her room and smiled. He leaned down and kissed her heatedly. His hands trapped themselves in her hair as his mouth searched hers. He felt her melting in his arms. They pulled away breathing hard and looking in each others eyes.
"Was that a good start?"
Megan didn't speak at all. She only rested her forehead to his chest and stayed there for a while. Draco didn't understand it but she was so shaken up that if she pulled away she'd slip to the floor.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
She couldn't sleep and it was obvious why. Draco was inside her brain, he took over her completely. All with a kiss. She could still feel him, smell him, taste him. She tossed and turned all night. She was sweating, aroused and moaning. The next day she greeted him with a soft kiss on the lips. Her heart skipped a beat when she looked into his gray blue eyes. He smiled at her.
"Sleep well?"
He grinned and she knew he'd heard her. She lied.
"Better than ever."
Megan said goodbye with another kiss and he was off to work. The phone rang and she picked up. It was her sister Karen.
"Hey honey, how are you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm great actually."
"You didn't..."
"Oh no! Not at all!"
Karen sighed.
"Whoa you almost scared me there."
"Well not yet."
"What do you mean not yet?! You mean you want to?!"
"Karen he's really sweet. We've had so much fun these past weeks and we got to know each other so much better."
Karen was silent for a while.
"You didn't fall for him did you?"
Megan didn't answer.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
Draco pulled back and looked down at Megan. She still had her eyes closed. Draco kissed her chin then bit her lip tenderly. She opened her eyes slowly and smiled at him.
"Draco...can I ask you something?"
Draco pushed himself off her and they sat up on the couch.
"Shoot."
"Well I was...I was just wondering...I was wondering if you weren't mad."
"Why would I be?"
"We haven't really gone that far. I thought that bothered you."
Draco put his arms around her and lay her back on the couch, he grinned.
"Nope. This is good enough for me if its good enough for you."
Draco's tongue played around in her mouth and she sighed and slid down lower into the couch. Draco followed the set example and let his hands roam down to her abdomen. He slid them slowly up her shirt and she pulled away. She looked at him a second then began to unbutton his shirt. Draco kissed her neck while she did and he pulled away only to get her shirt off over her head and slide his own off. He brought his hands to her buckle but she shook her head and gave him a pleading look. He nodded and drew his hands back. Things stayed the same for over a month.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
Megan found herself letting him go further and further. It was only a matter of time until everything came off and she gave it up. One day Megan woke up and found she wasn't alone in her bed. Draco's arms were around her waist and they were barely dressed. How that happened she didn't know. She drew herself out of his arms and sat up in bed. He felt her moving and sat up too. He smiled and kissed her shoulders. Megan didn't want to think much about it but now there was no way around it.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
Draco had a visit from his father that afternoon.
"How is married life treating you Draco?"
"Its okay."
"Okay?"
Draco just nodded and tried not to meet his father's eyes.
"So when should I expect the news of a grandson?"
"We don't really know about children yet."
Lucius searched for Draco's eyes. Then a devilish smile crossed his face.
"You haven't done it yet have you?"
Draco became absorbed in his papers.
"Definitely not. Tell me Draco, are you even close to getting her?"
"She's only seventeen and...we're just getting to know each other first."
"Draco...you should have done her a long time ago."
"Father please..."
"No Draco. You need to produce an heir! Do you understand that?"
Draco nodded.
"I understand. I just...I'd rather talk to her about children first."
"Talk to her? Draco you are not married to her so you can play house! Her family owes us money. That's why she married you in the first place. And if you think, for one second, that she loves you then, you've got to wake up. Get her pregnant and that's that. After that you can do as you please with any woman you want."
Draco gave his father a determined look.
"And what if I don't want to?"
Lucius gave him a sharp look.
"What do you mean by that?"
"What if I fall in love with her?"
Lucius gave a deep laugh and rose from his chair.
"Love? Spare me the sentimental chatter Draco."
Draco watched his father walk out of his office and forced down the urge to curse him. Lucius was ruthless sometimes. Draco was born by the time his father was 22 and he guessed that's why he wanted Draco to have a son already. And Draco had to admit...he did want children. Draco then began to think about what he had told his father about falling in love with Megan. He began to wonder if he had or if it was merely lust. Draco had never been in love before and that was a subject he was not entirely familiar with.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
Megan tried to pass the free time by walking around the house. She came to stop by the master bedroom and tried the knob. It was open. She pushed the mahogany door open and stepped onto the creamy white carpet. Megan stood in the middle of the room and looked around. It was so well decorated and it was already her favorite room in the house. Megan sat on the king size bed and ran her hands over the smooth red satin covers. She lay back on the bed and fell asleep.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
Draco apparated into the house and went to his room. He knocked on Megan's door but there was no answer. He figured she must be somewhere in the house so he set out to look for her. He saw the door to the master bedroom was open and frowned. When he stepped inside he smiled. Megan was on the bed, sleeping on her side. Draco shook his head wryly and made his way over to her. He lay down next to her and touched her face softly. She whined and turned the other way. Draco smiled and kissed her cheek. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled up at him.
"Hey..."
Draco echoed her.
"I must have dozed off."
Draco looked at her.
"You are so beautiful when you wake up."
Megan laughed. She reached out to tuck a stray hair from his face.
"How was work?"
"Fair."
He looked down at her then kissed her.
"Are you happy with me?"
Megan looked up at him and smiled.
"I am."
Draco leaned in again.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
Megan was delirious. Her head was spinning, her mouth was dry and her heart was speeding. She was happy, but she felt like crying. All because of him. He kissed her again, deep and long. She deepened the kiss and he crawled over her. She pulled his jacket off and he drew away. She smiled and pulled him back down. Draco followed along.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
Draco was amused that for the first time she seemed to be leading. He lost his senses and grew wild. She didn't stop him and soon they were gasping for breath. Draco shook his head, trying to keep his mind straight. She was crying but he couldn't stop. It didn't feel right, it wasn't the way he wanted it to be, but it was happening and his body was reacting. He hadn't been with anyone since they had gotten married and that was almost 3 months.
"Oh my God!"
She threw her arms around his neck and they reached it together. Draco pulled out of her and rested his forehead against hers. They caught their breaths then kissed. Draco looked into her eyes.
"I love...I love you."
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
Megan woke up the next day at around two in the afternoon. Draco was sleeping beside her. Everything came back to her as soon as she moved. She felt like her abdomen was on fire. She felt confused. Draco rolled over to her side of the bed but remained sleeping.
'Holy mother of Christ.'
Megan sighed and slid back under the warm covers.
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
Draco woke up as relaxed as ever. He stretched his arms out only to find that Megan was laying on his chest resting comfortably. As he looked down at her he felt a strange sense of deja vu. He felt right with her in his arms. The memory of the previous night came back to him and he sighed. She was a virgin alright, and the first one he had ever been with. He had tried to be gentle and to please her...he wanted nothing more than to please her. He was willing to teach her everything and he hoped she was eager to learn.
'Next time we'll be better."
Draco just stared at her. In time her body would grow to fit him. He never had realized how easily he could hurt her, even without meaning to. Megan sighed and opened her eyes. She focused on him and they just looked at each other.
"So..."
Draco leaned up on one elbow.
"Yeah..."
Megan bit her lip. Draco tried to sleek his bangs away from his face.
"Well...it was bound to happen."
Megan nodded silently.
"You...er...you wanna talk about it?"
Draco shifted his eyes away a little. He really wanted to know what she thought but she shook her head silently and he accepted it.
"Okay."
They were silent a while longer.
"I think we should talk about it though."
She just smiled at him.
"You'll be late for work."
Draco looked at the clock and chuckled.
"Its past lunch."
Megan looked at the clock too and smiled.
"Long night."
She looked at him again and smiled shyly.
"It was."
Draco whispered. He kissed her forehead.
"You were so sweet."
Megan's face turned red. Draco laughed.
"It was my first time."
"I know."
She was silent.
"Who was yours?"
Draco looked away. He didn't want to tell her his father had set him up with a prostitute for his 16th birthday. It was a kind of welcome to manhood present. He had been a pig back then. Insatiable. But for the first time in his life, last night, he had made love to someone. Not raw unpredictable sex, but love. He looked at her expecting eyes.
"It was nothing. I...it bothers me to talk about it."
Megan gave him a half smile.
"Okay then."
Draco traced her jaw softly.
"Did I hurt you?"
Megan bit her lower lip and he knew the answer.
"I'm sorry."
"It's all right. I'll get used to it, I guess."
Draco nodded and they stared at each other for a while. Draco then laughed.
"Why should we regret what we did? We're married!"
Megan grinned.
"You're right. I mean, we have been for three months now."
"Yeah."
Megan looked away.
"Still...last night was kind of..."
"Illegal?"
Draco finished for her. He bit his lip and grinned.
"Guess that's why it felt so good."
Draco looked down at her. He reached into the side table and smiled. He pulled out her wedding ring. Megan smiled at him and he took her hand.
"Do you, Megan Angela Sanders take me, Draco Alexander Malfoy, to be you lawful wedded husband? Your lover and your friend? To have and to hold, to love and cherish, through sicker or through poorer, for as long as we both shall live?"
Megan laughed.
"I'm serious!"
Draco slid the ring into her finger and smiled.
"I do."
She looked at him as if trying to figure him out. Draco kissed her hand and met her eyes intensely.
"What is it?"
"I was just...I wondered."
He smiled.
"Wondered what?"
Megan searched his eyes.
"Did you really mean to tell me you loved me? Or were you just so caught up..."
Draco looked at her and faltered for a second.
"I'm starting to."
Apparently that was good enough for her. She pulled herself into his chest and lay there. Draco felt his heart would burst if he didn't tell her how much he loved her. Somehow no words came out. All he could do was stroke her hair soothingly.
Megan bit her lip and went around behind Draco's desk. She massaged his shoulders and smiled.
"Is it hard?"
He looked at her sharply.
"Your job. You seem stressed."
