Chapter 13

Severus stretched languidly as moonlight flooded in his bedroom window and tried not to disturb Iris, who was sleeping soundly. It had been two weeks since they admitted their love. She'd stayed with him every night and had really only gone home to shower and change her clothes. He found he missed her in that short period of time that she was gone and silently mused at his abrupt turn around. If anyone woman can make me believe in fairy tales, it's Iris.

They'd finally completed rebrewing the code sevens. It had taken them much longer than anticipated because they kept getting distracted and finding other things to do. Most of them ending up with them in bed. He just couldn't seem to keep his hands to himself when it came to her. Not that she is much better, he thought fairly as he remembered her breaking an entire beaker of Deflating Drafts in her eagerness to get at him and couldn't help but chuckle.

"What's so funny?" He heard her sleepy voice ask.

"Just thinking about what a distraction you are." He said as he ran his hand up her arm and smiling as it goose bumped at his touch.

She snorted loudly and rolled her eyes.

"I'm distracting? You're the one who attacks me once an hour." She said in a mock hurt tone.

"Oh yeah. You like it." He said as he rolled on top of her, pressing her naked body into the mattress.

"Yeah." She coaxed as she raised her head to meet his lips.

He wound his fingers in the black mass of her hair and kissed her back passionately, until a noise on the stairs caught his attention. He broke away quickly, leaving her dizzy and confused.

"Wha..." She began but was silenced by his hand over her mouth.

"Shh. Someone's here." He whispered.

They both watched with baited breath as the door knob turned. A shockingly blonde head peered around and Iris thought fast. Shit! Malfoy again.

She pointed her wand at her hands and conjured up some wrist shackles and a blindfold then dropped her wand so it was hidden in pillows.

"Get off of me you sick asshole." She cried.

Severus whipped his head back around and stared at her in confusion but was met with a twinkling smile and suddenly understood what she was doing.

He pretended to grope her roughly in the dark shadows of the room and made faux grunting noises as he forced himself to play her game, no matter how much it pained him.

"Shut up bitch." He said forcefully.

"Stop touching me!" She shouted convincingly.

"Just lay back and enjoy it baby." Severus said.

"Snape?" Called Malfoy's voice from the doorway.

"What is it?" Severus asked irritably.

"I need to talk to you." Lucius said.

"Now?" Snape demanded.

"It's urgent." Malfoy insisted.

Snape climbed off Iris and squeezed her hand sweetly and reassuringly before meeting Malfoy at the door.

Iris could hear them whispering but couldn't make out what they were saying. She didn't know how long she lay there chained to the bed but she finally heard Malfoy speak louder.

"Is that the nosy woman from the other week that you knocked out." Malfoy asked.

"Yes." Severus answered.

"Been raping your prisoner? Excellent. I must say she's a hot little thing." He said as his gaze raked lewdly over her nude form.

"Yes." Snape ground out through clenched teeth as he willed himself not to punch Lucius.

"Mind if I have a crack at her?" Malfoy asked.

At this Severus felt disgust rise up in his throat as he watched Iris go rigid on the bed. I'm sure that's not what she had in mind at all when she concocted this idea, he thought quickly.

"Get your own prisoner." Snape said smoothly.

"But I've been in Azkaban so long. And yours is so... willing." Malfoy said as he made his way over to the bed and trailed a hand up Iris' naked thigh.

Severus watched her tense and felt terrible. He'd never wanted to hurt anyone as bad as he wanted to hurt Malfoy right now. He thought as fast as he could and finally an idea came to him. He made sure that Lucius wasn't looking at him, which wasn't hard since he was practically salivating over Iris, and with a wave of his wand made it go cold in his room. Then he cast a Depression Charm over the room and knew he had Malfoy's attention.

"Do you feel that?" Lucius asked as his eyes roamed the room.

"Feels like Dementors." Snape said as he too let his eyes search the darkness.

"Go Lucius. I'll get rid of them." Severus continued after a convincing pause.

"Thank you. And don't forget what I said." Malfoy said and Disapparated with a pop.

As soon as Malfoy had gone he rushed over to where Iris lay bound and blinded. He waved his wand to end the spells he used to get rid of Malfoy and then he disposed of her hand cuffs and tugged her blindfold free.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"That was disgusting." She said as she shuddered.

"Quick thinking though." He said as he stroked her cheek.

"It backfired a little." She answered as she sank into his palm.

"Are you ok?" He asked with concern.

"Yes. Sorry."

"Don't be. It worked." He said still trying to get the image of Malfoy fondling Iris out of his head.

"What did he want Severus?" Iris asked.

"Come on. We better get started on that Deflector Potion." He said deliberately avoiding her question as he made a production out of looking at the sun light pouring in his room now.

"Sure." She said as she allowed her question to be put off. For now anyway.
