Chapter 14 Stay the Night
Stay the night
There's room enough here for two
Stay the night
I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night
Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us, nothing is in the way
Have some friendly conversation
And if you still don't have a clue
Unless there's something else you've got in mind
We've got better things to do
Chicago "Stay The Night"
As they stepped out into the cool night air, Alexis realized that Remus still had her cloak. She felt warm enough as Snape still had an arm around her shoulders.
Pulling the squashed, disposable lighter portkey out of his pocket, he held it out to Alexis.
They were soon standing at the gates of Hogwarts heading up to the castle. Snape was enjoying the walk. He had never had a chance to walk in the starlight with his arm around a female companion, as a boy and a teen he had been to shy and insecure.
As a man he hadn't had the opportunity to be involved with the type of woman who wanted starlight walks. He supposed if he was willing to pay them extra for the time they would have walked with him in the starlight. Alexis was different from any other woman with whom he had spent time. She had nothing to gain from forming a relationship with him. He could not understand why she would want to spend time with him. But he had decided that he would enjoy her company as long as she would allow it.
Alexis was just enjoying the comfort of having Snape's arm around her holding her close. It felt right to be with him. Just then she shivered and he started to run his hand up and down her arm in an absent manner as if trying to warm her. It was definitely warming her, just not in the way he most likely intended. Alexis had started toward the main entrance when Snape steered her down a side path. Glancing up at him she saw a hint of a smirk on his lips as if he was waiting to see how long it would take her before she broke down and asked him where they were going. Alexis just leaned her head into Snape's shoulder and let him lead her on.
Snape looked down at the woman walking next to him and realized that thanks to the absurdly high heels she was wearing that the top of her head was just slightly under his chin. He was able to tilt his head just a little and breathe in the perfume of her hair.
Just ahead of them the path ended in an ivy covered wall. Alexis still refused to look up at Snape and question where he was taking her. Snape continued to walk and continued to urge Alexis toward the wall. Alexis was beginning to be concerned that Snape meant to walk her straight into the wall and was tensing for the impact when with a tingle they stepped through the illusion and into a dimly lit tunnel.
"You are just full of surprises tonight," Alexis muttered.
Snape just continued down the tunnel leading her to a flight of stairs and finally to a sturdy looking wooden door. Muttering some spells Snape released the protection on the door and led Alexis into his rooms. Turning back all Alexis could see were the stones of his wall.
Giving the smug Potions Master a delighted smile, "You're really full of surprises tonight."
"No snake ever has just one exit from his den, shall we have that night cap?" Snape replied as he led her to the love seat in front of the fireplace which he lit with a wave of his wand.
"I probably shouldn't have anything else to drink, but tomorrow is Saturday and we should be able to sleep in."
Snape almost spilled the wine he was pouring at her use of "we" and "sleep" in the same sentence as it conjured up images of lazy mornings spent in bed together.
Snape handed Alexis her glass and settled onto the love seat beside her. He was pleasantly surprised when she shifted closer and maneuvered his arm until it was once again around her.
"That's better, even with the fire it is a bit chilly in here," Alexis snuggled closer to Snape taking a small sip of her wine.
Snape was filled with nervous tension, on the one hand he very much enjoyed the feeling of the warm female body pressed so invitingly to his side. On the other hand, what did he do now? He was more than ready, willing and if she kept wiggling like that he was going to be embarrassingly obviously able to take the next step, but was she ready?
Alexis was staring into the fire wondering if Snape was ever going to make his move. She had done everything but issue an engraved invitation to the man to kiss her. What else was she going to have to do? Leaning forward she put her now empty glass on the floor, using the move to shift even closer to him.
The warmth of the fire and the drinks were combining to make Alexis very sleepy. Snape was turning out to be a very comfortable pillow.
Alexis stifled a yawn and snuggled closer her eyelids starting to droop, it had been a long, full day and she was very tired. She would just close her eyes for a moment.
Snape looked down at the woman cuddled so trustingly in his arms, she was fast asleep. He was waging an internal debate about waking her and sending her back to her room or just letting her sleep in his arms all night, he liked the thought of waking up entwined as if they were lovers.
Just then Alexis started to stir Snape sighed, it looked as if the decision was going to be taken out of his hands. Alexis sat up abruptly and looked around in a daze, she was never very alert right after waking up.
Pushing her hair back she looked up at Snape, then smiled. "Morning?"
"Not yet, you fell asleep you need more rest," Snape told the sleep befuddled woman.
"Emmm, Ok," with a yawn Alexis got up Snape watched in confusion as she headed into his bathroom. He could hear the toilet flush, the water running and then a minute later Alexis came out wearing his pajama top which hit her just above the knees.
"Goodnight," Alexis smiled at Snape and then headed into his bedroom.
Snape stood up and followed her into the room watching in disbelief as she pulled back the covers and proceeded to climb into his bed. Although this did give him the opportunity to satisfy his earlier curiosity; yes she was wearing the green silk panties with the silver ribbons.
Snape walked to the edge of his bed, Well I finally got her into my bed.
"Alexis."
No response.
"Alexis," slightly louder.
"What?"
"You're in my bed."
"Hmm?"
"Alexis you're in my bed."
"OK, I can scoot over," and suiting actions to words Alexis scooted over and held the covers up for Snape to get in, "Hurry up there's a draft."
Snape wasn't sure what to do, how was he going to get her out of his bed and into her own, and why did he even want to.
"Are you getting in because I am getting cold and my arm is getting tired."
"I'll be there in a minute," Snape abruptly decided to go with the flow.
"OK," and Alexis dropped the bed covers and snuggled back into his pillows with a deep breath. "Ummm smells good, smells like Severus," she mumbled.
Snape turned and headed to the bathroom, he thought about getting out another pair of pajamas since Alexis had the top to the pair he had set out to use. He had stopped using nightshirts after a rather embarrassing moment last year. Finally deciding it was easier just to wear the bottoms, plus he kind of liked the idea of sharing night clothes with Alexis, Snape disrobed and pulled on the bottoms. Reaching for his toothbrush he realized that Alexis had used it first. After a moments thought, he realized that he didn't mind it. Usually he was extremely fastidious about not sharing anything with anyone. But sharing a toothbrush was only slightly more intimate than some of the kisses they had shared and if he was really lucky, they would be sharing something even more intimate in the very near future.
With a wave of his wand Snape extinguished the lights in the bathroom and sitting room and walked into the bedroom and approached the bed. The only illumination was coming from the fireplace. Looking at Alexis in his bed made him wish that he could look forward to this every night. As if she felt his silent scrutiny, Alexis rolled over to face him. With a deep sigh, she blinked open her eyes and smiled, lifting the covers invitingly.
Without any hesitation, Snape climbed in next to Alexis.
"Ohh, your feet are freezing! And so is your chest."
Before Snape could move away in embarrassed indignation, Alexis had draped herself across his chest and was rubbing his feet with her feet to warm him up. "Is that better?" came the sleepy question.
Snape had gone from icy cold to burning hot in seconds, the feel of her unbound breasts separated from his skin by only a thin nightshirt was making it hardto think. The feel of her hands rubbing his chest and arms was sending the blood throughout his body in a heated rush.
"Yes, much better," came out in a strangled tone.
"Good, I have a hard time sleeping if I am to cold," and with a sleepy kiss to his neck, Alexis drifted off to sleep leaving Snape in a very uncomfortable state.
Snape shifted trying to get comfortable, Alexis was draped over him and he had managed to get his arm around her so it was no longer pinned under the weight of her body. His usually loose pajama bottoms were uncomfortably tight and he was trying to concentrate on something other than how Alexis felt in his arms, hoping if he ignored his "problem" it would go away. This became even a more Herculean chore when Alexis shifted in her sleep throwing her leg over his legs and causing her thigh to press against his "problem." If she shifted any further she would be laying on top of him. Mumbling and stirring in her sleep, her thigh began to rub against him, he didn't think it was possible but his "problem" had just gotten bigger.
Snape let out a low moan as he felt Alexis slid her hand across his bare chest accidentally brushing his nipples causing them to bead up in reaction.
"Severus are you all right," Alexis asked without opening her eyes.
"Just peachy," was his waspish reply through gritted teeth, if she wiggled one more time he would not be responsible for his actions. He would not usually take advantage of a sleeping woman, but this was ridiculous.
"Ok."
Alexis finally settled and fell deeply asleep; it was much, much later before Snape was able to do the same. It was only after he had counted the various ways to take house points from the Golden Trio that he was able to relax enough to fall asleep.
Severus was dreaming, it was the type of dream he had not had since his hormonal teen years. Prominently featured in the dream were Alexis and her green silk panties. He had started to pull the ribbons free on her panties with his teeth, when she pulled away from him, Snape started to frown. This wasn't the way these dreams were supposed to go. Alexis was shaking a teasing finger at him in a "no you don't" manner. Snape was seriously frowning now, this was his dream, how dare she tell him no!
Suddenly Alexis had flipped him over and now she was on top of him. This was more like it, although he really would like to get back to those green silk panties. Alexis started nibbling up his neck; Snape arched it to give her better access. When she reached his ear she gently began sucking on the lobe.
Remembering that this was his dream, Snape started running his hands up and down Alexis's body. Slipping his hands down to her bottom, Snape ran his hands over those green silk panties and up under the nightshirt she wore. He felt his body hardening even more at finally feeling her soft skin. Running his hand up her back and around her side, he hesitated only briefly and then reminded himself it was his dream, cupped her firm, round breast in his hand, gently pulling on the nipple until it hardened for him. He felt and heard Alexis gasp against his neck at the touch of his hand on her breast.
Then it was his turn to gasp as her hand slid down his chest, to the waistband of his pajama bottoms. He continued to knead and gently pull on her breast as he wondered how far his dream Alexis would go. He could not believe it, as he felt her hand slip inside his pants and then he wasn't thinking at all as he felt soft fingers gently running up and down the length of his erection. Then he felt her hand take a firm grip at the root of his problem and begin to stroke it all the way up.
He was jolted back when he felt Alexis gently pull away from him, damn and blast things couldn't go right for him even in his dreams!
Then he felt the covers being pushed out of the way, his pajama bottoms were being tugged down and he heard a soft voice, "Lift your hips."
Refusing to open his eyes and "wake up" Severus immediately followed the softly spoken command and felt his bottoms completely being removed. The cool air of the room was quickly replaced by warm breath followed by warm, wet lips gently closing over his throbbing erection. It was all he could do not to erupt at that moment.
The silken, swirl of her tongue was driving him to the edge. But she would stop as he was about to go over and gently sooth him back down. He felt her mouth leave him and then he felt her tongue on his testicles. Gently sucking and rolling them in her mouth. He couldn't stand it any more. He had to see what she was doing to him as well as feel it. Snape opened his eyes and discovered that he was in paradise. It was not a dream, Alexis was kneeling between his legs with her mouth on his testicles.
He groaned at the sight of her pink mouth stretched by him, Alexis looked up with a wicked twinkle in her eyes and gave him a wink.
With a last gentle suck on his testicles she released them to take a long slow licking nibble up the length of his shaft. Meeting his eyes she slowly began lowering her mouth until she had his full length completely engulfed. Using one hand on his erection and the other to gently massage his testicles, Alexis began to stroke him with her mouth and tongue. This time she wasn't going to pull him back from the edge, he was going all the way over.
Snape felt his whole body tightening and he tried to warn Alexis so she could pull away, "Alexis, I'm about to."
Alexis just re-doubled her efforts.
Snapes hands clenched the sheets in a white knuckled grip as his body tightened and then he was falling over the edge.
As he came back to himself he felt small licks on his still twitching penis. Looking down through half shut eyes he saw Alexis looking like a cat who has gotten the cream.
"Just cleaning up a little," Alexis responded to his quirked eyebrow.
Snape used one finger, all that he could move, to motion her up to him.
Alexis shifted until she was lying on top of him, supporting most of her weight on her arms. Forcing the languor from his limbs, Snape snaked a hand around her neck and pulled her mouth down to his. He saw surprise in her eyes as he gave her a long, wet open mouthed kiss tasting himself on her tongue.
Alexis closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss. It didn't take long for Snape to recover soon he was hard again reversing their positions and rolling her over onto her back.
Using his right hand he began to unbutton the top she wore using his nose to push the side further open (sometimes it comes in handy having a big schnoze) his hand continued until all the buttons were undone. By this time, his nose had pushed the shirt all the way off of her chest, in the process running across the tip of each breast. Snape's nose began to brush back and forth over her hardened nipple. Not wanting the other breast to feel neglected Snape repeated the motion on the left nipple.
Alexis was writhing in frustration, wanting him to touch her with something more than his nose. "Please Severus."
"Please what?"
She could feel his breath tantalizingly on her breast.
Arching into him, "Severus please."
"Is this what you want?"
Snape gently blew a breath on the rosy nipple causing it to harden even more. Then with a wicked smirk he gently closed his teeth over the extended nipple, scraping the sensitive skin lightly.
He was rewarded with a gasp.
"Or perhaps this?"
Closing his lips around the turgid tip he began to suckle. Firmly pulling on the tip and swirling his tongue around it.
"Oh yes that feels good," Alexis ran her fingers through Snape's dark hair holding his head close to her breast.
Snape's hand slithered down Alexis body until it came her green silk panties. Slipping his hand between her thighs he found unmistakable evidence of the effect he was having on her. Using the wet silk, he gently began to stroke her clitoris, soon as he touched her there, Alexis arched against his hand.
Snape smiled against the breast he was currently suckling and teasing. He was alternating between the two so that neither would feel neglected.
Can't play favorites!
Moving the fabric to one side, Snape slid a finger into Alexis's slick, tight passage causing her to arch against him again and leaving her gasping for breath. Moving his thumb against her clitoris, Snape tried two fingers inside the hot, wet, tunnel. With all of the attention Alexis had received Snape was easily able to slide the two fingers in.
Flicking his thumb against her and moving his fingers in and out, Snape was quickly rewarded with the sounds of Alexis panting his name in an increasingly frantic tone. He felt her body tense and then her passage contracted around his fingers as wave after wave of pleasure rolled over her. On a sigh she relaxed back into the bed, with eyes closed and a satisfied smirk on her lips.
Snape looked at her for a moment wondering what he had done that would possibly make such a beautiful woman want to be with him.
Alexis opened her eyes to find Snape staring at her. Quirking an eyebrow at him she just continued to smile.
Snape then slowly lifted his hand to his mouth and without breaking eye contact he began to lick his fingers clean of her essence. Snape watched as Alexis's eyes darkened in renewed ardor and then she pulled him to her for another kiss.
Just then there was a loud banging on the outer door shocking the couple apart.
"Were you expecting someone?" Alexis queried.
"No and whomever it may be will regret having ever been born," Snape snapped as he lunged to his feet and grabbed his dressing gown off the end of the bed.
Alexis could hear him stomping into the other room muttering curses and threats under his breath.
She would almost feel sorry for whoever was at the door almost, if she also wasn't feeling the frustration of having been interrupted at such a pleasant moment.
With a loud BANG, Snape flung open the door, "WHAT IS IT?"
