Briar POV
"Faster!" I roll my eyes for the third time in the past twenty minutes at Snape's reminder to do better and be faster. Over the past few months, Blaise and I have been training side by side to try and build a synchronicity when dueling and fighting as it will give us more of an advantage on the battlefield. One thing I learned from being Harry's protector is that if you trust your protector, you'll survive longer. Unfortunately, Harry didn't trust my judgement that day in the Ministry of Magic and it could've ended my life. I have made it my priority to trust Blaise as it can save both of our lives on the battlefield.
Speaking of Blaise, I've learned he has little quirks that remind me of Cedric when he was alive. Training the past few months has built a friendship and I find myself looking to him as a brother figure that I haven't had since Cedric was murdered. Blaise has become one of my closest friends. Well, he is my only friend as Snape doesn't think it's a good idea for me to have any contact outside of the Manor, especially to contact Draco.
Draco.
A sad smile graces my lips when I think of how I've been unable to visit him in his dreams. Unfortunately, Snape didn't tell me my bond with Draco couldn't exist while I had a protector because I had to be bonded with Blaise instead. As a protector, Blaise has the ability to connect with me mentally when I allow him in on the battlefield or during training. It's not a two-way bond like Draco and I have because all Snape did was perform a spell that would bind our minds, but it's strong regardless. While I enjoy having an extra advantage on the battlefield, I miss Draco and the presence of him in my head.
THUD!
I turn to see Blaise has taken down one of the practice dummies which means we finished our "mission" for the day and it's now his turn to disarm me. Turning to me, I raise my wand defensively, but find myself crinkling my brow in confusion when I see Blaise smirk in my direction. Before I can cast a defensive spell, a litter of puppies are on top of me as I lay on the ground and they're all licking my face. I giggle in happiness and silently thank Blaise for making practice more bearable. It has been a rough few months and we rarely have time to act like the teenagers we are.
"Mr. Zabini, I said to disarm her. Do you think this is a game?" Snape drawls, but I can see a slight smile on his face as he watches me scoop up one of the puppies so I can place kisses all over it's little face.
"I think she's pretty distracted and disarmed, if I do say so myself," Blaise says in a smug tone as he crosses his arms over his chest. I look at the little puppy in my arms and stare into its blue eyes and find myself thinking of Draco yet again. He would be returning home for Christmas break soon and I can't wait to finally be in his arms again.
"I'm going to name you, Sky," I coo at the little puppy in my arms. Its tongue hangs out of its mouth and I see it smile up at me. I turn my beaming smile in Blaise's direction. "Awww he's smiling at me! Look, Blaise!" Blaise chuckles at me and shakes his head.
"Yes, it seems she is," he says. Glancing down again, I realize all the puppies are gone and I pout up at Blaise.
"Rude," I mutter. I stand up and huff at him and cross my arms over my chest. Snape goes to leave the room signaling our training is finally done for the day and Blaise walks over to throw his arm around my shoulders. He starts to walk me towards the dining room so we can go eat dinner and ask Narcissa when Draco will be arriving.
"Awwww don't be angry at me. You couldn't keep the puppy forever," he teases.
"I could've! Draco and I would be great parents," I pout childishly.
"Oh? Would you really? Does Draco know he's going to be a father? I didn't know you were with child," he teases. I roll my eyes.
"Obviously, I'm talking about the puppy, Blaise. I would know if I was pregnant," I huff playfully. I continue walking and make the mistake of not watching him.
"I better check," he shouts and attacks my stomach with his hands. I squeal and start running away from him. "Now look who's properly disarmed!" Running around the corner, I find myself running into the foyer with Blaise hot on my heels.
"You cheated! Snape said to disarm me, not conjure puppies to lick me to death," I say teasingly.
"But they're puppies! They're your weakness which technically is what disarming entails so I followed Snape's instructions," Blaise says in a matter of fact tone.
"What the bloody hell is going on here?!" I turn my head towards the source of the yelling and see Draco standing there. Oh, Merlin how I've missed him. I take a quick once over and find warmth spreading throughout my body at seeing him after so long. A huge smile overtakes my face as I yell his name, but I stop short when I see his face. My smile falls when I see a deep scowl etched into his face.
I chuckle nervously as I see he's angry for some reason and rub the back of my neck when I hear Blaise stop behind me.
"This uh…This is my protector assigned to me by Snape," I mumble nervously as I watch him chuckle in a very humorless way. I notice his hands are clenched at his side as her eyes Blaise up and down. Blaise throws his arm around my shoulders as if he is immune to Draco's glare. I can feel myself stiffen as I watch Draco eye his arm around me with distain.
"Hey, mate," he says cheerfully. I watch Draco's eyes narrow in anger. Quickly analyzing the situation, I realize he must be angry at Blaise's presence and I honestly can't hold in my excitement at seeing him. He may be angry at Blaise being here, but he's my protector and he needs to be here so we can work on keeping each other alive. Quietly deciding I'll deal with Draco's jealousy later, I feel my lips spread into a huge smile again and start to run towards him. I see his eyes widen in confusion for a moment before I jump to wrap my legs around him and my arms slide around his neck. I bury my nose into his neck and find myself melting as I inhale the smell that is just Draco and sigh when his arms wrap tightly around me.
"I've missed you so much," I say and hear my voice quiver slightly as I remember all the nights I had a hard time getting to sleep without him by my side. His arms tighten around me when I say that and I feel his muscles relax a little bit at my affection. I unwrap my legs from around him, but keep my arms tight around his neck and bury one hand in his hair, reveling in how soft it is.
Merlin, I've missed feeling his hair between my fingers.
"Briar, what the bloody hell is going on?" I can hear he's trying to keep his anger under control and I appreciate his effort to wait until he hears my side of the story, but I'm also confused by his question. I pull back and look into his eyes and see his jealousy, anger, and sadness swirling in his eyes as he battles to figure out which emotion should take prominence.
"What do you mean? Blaise was appointed my protector by Snape and we've been training the past few months. You know I wasn't allowed to tell you who my protector was, but now that you've seen him, it doesn't really matter anymore," I say with a shrug and hear Snape walk into the room behind us.
"Why haven't I heard from you?" I can hear the sadness in his voice and I can feel his confusion radiating off of his body. I have to take a moment to look at him in confusion because Snape told me he informed Draco about our bond being on hold until after I broke the bond with Blaise. Once the final battle is done, Snape will lift the bonding spell he placed on us and Draco and I will be able to bond once again.
"What do you mean? Snape told me he informed you about my bond with Blaise and how our bond will be renewed once the final battle is done? Once my mission is complete, you and I will be able to get our bond back," I explain with confusion written all over my face. I see Draco's eyes light up in anger and before I can even stop him, he's in front of Blaise and his fist has connected with Blaise's face.
"You bonded with her?! I'll kill you!" My eyes widen as I realize Draco thinks I slept with Blaise. He leans down and is about to hit Blaise again who is spitting blood on the floor, but I step between them and place my hands on either side of Draco's face. Before I can even say anything, Draco rips my hands off his face and he takes a step back in disgust. I can feel my anger rising as I turn to look at Snape.
"What the hell, Severus?! You told me you were updating Draco!" Snape shrugs his shoulders.
"Mr. Malfoy has enough on his plate and he needed to stay focused," he finishes. I can feel my shoulders tense in anger.
"So, you let him think I was ignoring him all this time instead of telling him you bonded me and Blaise?" I turn to look at Draco as I see his fists clench at his sides again. "I know what you're thinking, Draco Malfoy and how dareyou think I would sleep with Blaise," I growl in annoyance. I see him look down in shame and I swing around to look at Snape again. Blaise has now gotten up and is wiping the rest of the blood off of the corner of his lip.
"Really, mate? You had to go for the face? This is my money maker," Blaise groans and I find myself rolling my eyes. The last thing he should be doing is egging on an angry Draco.
"Severus, go home. Training is put on hold the entire Christmas break," I say with an air of finality. I see him open his mouth in protest, but I cut him off. "I don't want to hear anything from you other than a goodbye. You never should've lied to me or Draco. You and Blaise can continue practicing, but I'm taking a break while Draco's home," I growl.
I turn to Blaise and share an apologetic smile with him. He comes over and gives me a hug before kissing the top of my head.
"I'll see you after the break, love. You take care of yourself and don't get too out of shape," he teases. I chuckle softly and find myself silently thanking him for being able to lighten any situation. Both of them leave the room and I see Snape angrily glare at me one last time before stalking out of the room. I turn to look at Draco and see Narcissa is standing over by the fireplace in shock.
"I'm so sorry, Narcissa. I thought Severus was updating him," I whisper apologetically. She gives me a small smile and before I know it, she's wrapping her arms around me in a motherly embrace. I find myself missing Molly, but quickly shake that thought out of my head before I can get upset.
"You have nothing to apologize for," she says before turning to Draco. "You, however, better apologize for thinking so low of Briar. I've watched her mope around the Manor at night because she can't sleep without you and the first thing you do is accuse her of sleeping with your best friend?!" I flush in embarrassment as I didn't realize Narcissa had seen me walking around the Manor in the early hours of the morning when I missed Draco. "I'm ashamed of you and you better start apologizing the second I leave!"
She turns to look at me and places her hand on my cheek with a small smile. Turning to glare at Draco one last time, she turns and walks out of the room to leave Draco and me alone. I stand in front of him with my arms crossed in anger and wait for him to start apologizing.
"Well?" I stare at him expectantly and see him look up at me. While he still seems embarrassed at jumping to the conclusion of me sleeping with Blaise so quickly, I can also see some underlying anger from when he first saw Blaise chasing after me. Before I can even comprehend that he moved, I feel his hand in mine dragging me upstairs. Stumbling over a stair, I'm able to right myself quickly and follow behind Draco. While I'm confused on what he's doing, I can't help, but get excited when I realize he's headed towards his bedroom.
Turning the corner, he drags me into his room before I feel my back being pushed against the closed door harshly. His lips meet mine in a frenzied kiss and I can feel his teeth scrape my bottom lip before he sucks it into his mouth. His tongue licks my bottom lip possessively and I hear the distinct sound of him locking the door behind me. Leaning back after a few moments, he breathes harshly as his forehead rests against mine. His words come out in puffs against my lips.
"I'm sorry I assumed you slept with Blaise. I just saw his arm around you and I…" He doesn't finish his sentence, but instead groans before pushing his hard on against my thigh as his lips latch onto my neck.
"Draco," I gasp. I can feel my panties getting wetter by the second and I let out a whimper when his hand slides into the front of my training pants. His finger seeks out my clit and starts to rub it teasingly.
"Mmmm you're so wet, baby. Is that all for me?" I let out a gasp when his finger slowly glides across my slick folds before quickly entering inside me.
"Fuck, Dray. Please," I groan. I open my eyes and stare at his dark irises that are almost pitch black in arousal. He nips at my bottom lip before leaning away from me slightly again. I chase his lips and whine when he doesn't let me kiss his lips.
"Answer my question. Who are you soaked for right now?" His voice is husky and so low that I can only describe it as a growl.
"You," I say breathlessly as he adds another finger to pump into me. I push my hips toward him, silently begging him for more. He groans and rewards me with a hungry kiss. His tongue seeks mine out and he quickly wins the battle for dominance. My hand reaches around and grasps his shirt desperately to bring him closer until his free hand slams my hand above my head against the door.
"No touching until I tell you it's alright," he growls and I find myself getting even wetter. At this point, I'm trying to rub against his fingers inside me harder, but I know I won't be satisfied until I can finally have him inside me again. It's been months since the last time I had him and seeing him get possessive over me has me practically begging him to slam his cock inside me.
"I need you. Please, I'm yours. Just please. I need to feel you," I beg. His thumb joins his two fingers that are torturing me, but it rubs against my clit. I would have thought that would help relieve the ache inside me, it makes me want him even more.
"I didn't hear you. Who's doe are you?" I smile at him slightly and see his eyes are vulnerable. He needs to know I still want him and not someone else. Staring into his eyes, I lean forward to place a slow burning kiss onto his lips before whispering against them.
"I'm yours, Draco. I always will be," I whisper affectionately and that's when he loses it. I almost scream finally when I hear his pants buckle being unbuckled. He yanks his fingers out of me and brings them to his face to lick each digit as he stares me in the eyes. I stare at him in hunger and groan when I hear him groan in approval at the taste of me on his fingers.
"You taste so good, baby girl. I can't wait to have my cock so deep inside you, you can't walk straight tomorrow. Turn around and face the door," he orders.
Yes! I find myself screaming in my head. We've only tried this position one other time, but he gets so into claiming me as his that I enjoy every second of being his submissive. I love when he gets possessive and orders me around in the bedroom.
Turning towards the door, I feel him slide my pants and panties off in one swift move and I have to bite my lip to quiet my whine as I feel him slide each pleasurable inch of him inside me from behind. My fingers dig into the wood of the door and I push back towards him to take more of him greedily. Once he is fully inside me, he doesn't give me any time to adjust before he's thrusting hard and deep into me. I groan as his arms come around and grab my breasts as his thumbs rub my nipples.
"You feel so good, baby. It's like your pussy was made to have my cock in it. Tell me, who's pussy is this?" I whimper as he thrusts my body forward towards the door over and over again.
"Yours. Always yours," I moan helplessly. All I can focus on now is how good he feels driving into me over and over again. I feel his lips on the side of my neck and I don't hesitate to tilt my head to the side so he can suck on the sensitive skin there. I know he wants to mark me, but I just feel myself getting more soaked at the idea.
"Oh, you like when I mark you, don't you? You like other guys knowing who you belong to?" I nod my head as I'm unable to string a coherent sentence together at this time. He continues to thrust into me again and again before I start to feel the first signs of my orgasm approaching. I notice his thrusts are getting more desperate which means he's just as close as I am.
"Yes! Dray. Close. Please. Fuck," I whimper out as I can barely speak. My mouth opens in a silent scream as I feel my walls clench around him greedily. I hear him groan my name behind me and I can feel him finishing with me. Slowly, his thrusts slow to a stop before he pulls out and I slump against the wall. Before I can slide to the floor in a boneless puddle, his arms wrap around me and I find my head cradled under his chin with his arms stroking up and down my back soothingly.
"I've missed you too, my doe," I hear him whisper as my eyes start to close in exhaustion from our love making, but also from training since early this morning. The last thing I remember before I slip into much needed sleep after months of not sleeping properly is Draco's lips pressed against my head before I feel him lay us on the bed. Once my head falls into the crook of his neck, I feel the covers being pulled over my naked body and strong arms wrap around me before I succumb to a dreamless sleep.
