"I know there's something sacred and free and received by me only,
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile, and you use it only for me,
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile, and you use it only for me,
So use it, and prove it, and remove this world and its sadness."
Chapter 11 - Secret Smiles
Harry felt happy, warm, secure and contented when he found himself waking in the strong arms of the sexy blonde Slytherin. He would even go so far as to say he had never felt like this before, as good as this. He was facing the back of the couch, away from Draco and Draco had his arm around Harry's middle and his head buried into Harry's neck. One of Draco's legs was wrapped over Harry's thigh.
They were still fully clothed and Harry needed to move. He was lying on his own arm and it was beginning to go numb. As he tried to move, Draco sighed in his sleep and his breath tickled Harry's neck. It took a while of delicate wriggling but Harry eventually managed to turn around without waking Draco or bumping him off the couch. He was now facing the gorgeous sleeping blonde. There were a few stray strands of hair scattered over his face and Harry lightly brushed them aside, contentedly watching the sleeping Slytherin. He never thought it would be possible to be so contented with something so simple, just being close to Draco relaxed him completely and also stirred feelings in him he never knew existed. Who would have thought this blonde Slytherin could have given the Harry Potter those proverbial butterflies that muggles so often talked of?
When Draco woke half an hour later, he met Harry's beautiful eyes and smile. Their bodies were so close together, he felt so happy he might have burst. And he smiled. A truly happy and genuine smile.
Harry felt he might have exploded with happiness at that moment. He felt so special being on the receiving end of that could-be-award-winning smile that he'd never seen before.
There was no longer any traces of awkwardness between them, both pushed the problems they had been so caught up in the day before to the backs of their minds and for once, they concentrated on their own happiness.
They kissed softly and sleepily as Draco woke fully.
"Maybe we should get up." He suggested. "I definitely need to wash."
"The thought of spending the night in your clothes horrifies you doesn't it?" Harry teased.
"Of course! And it hasn't just been one night either!" Draco reminded him with a look of mock horror.
"Who's first in the shower then?" Harry asked grinning.
"Me!" Draco exclaimed and tried to move quickly off of the couch with the intent ff racing Harry to the bathroom, the result being, due to tangled limbs, was a large thump as he rolled off the couch onto the floor. Harry couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Ouch! That wrecks!" Draco said whilst trying to look as dignified as was possible whilst lying in a crumpled heap on the floor but he too had to laugh. Harry took the chance while Draco got up to jump over the back of the couch and make a beeline for the door.
"Oh no you don't!" Draco exclaimed and darted after him. Harry dodged out the door and made it half way up the stairs before Draco grabbed his ankle causing him to stumble and allowing Draco to dart in front of him. 'Two can play at that' Harry thought. "Draco! Oh Merlin what is that?!" Harry shouted, feigning horror, and Draco stopped in his tracks.
"What?" He asked and, as always, his hand immediately flew to his hair. As Harry caught up with him, he realised by the grin on Harry's face that he had been tricked.
"You cheat!" He exclaimed as the chase resumed and Harry reached the bathroom first and turned to face Draco, leaning his back against the door while Draco stood challengingly in front of him.
Harry felt both nervous and excited as they kissed passionately and Draco fumbled behind his back for the door handle, eventually finding it and letting them both into the bathroom.
Once in the bathroom they slowly and somewhat nervously began to undress each other. Hands and eyes roaming over each other. Drinking in every detail of each other's bodies. Their lips parted for no longer than a second at a time. Slowly and delicately they explored what they had waited so long to explore. Pausing when their shirts were removed to trace every contour of each other's necks, shoulders, arms, chests and backs.
By the time they were down to their underwear, they were a confusion of breaths, touches, smouldering looks and nerves. Their nerves though, were completely unnecessary as each wordlessly admired the others body.
They both blushed at seeing each other naked for the first time but were unable to tear their eyes away from each other.
Harry felt drunk, he had never felt emotions like this before and he was dizzy with anticipation for what they would do next.
They moved silently into the shower and under the jets of deliciously hot water. Kissing passionately and enjoying the feel of their soaking wet bodies against one another. They let their hands roam, their lips hardly parting. They could have stayed this way forever and a day but Draco moved his lips from Harry's and placed them back down in soft, sweet kisses along Harry's jaw line and down to the nape of his neck. Harry gasped in pleasure as Draco move his hands and mouth over his chest and stomach, working his way down until he was kneeling in front of Harry's throbbing erection. Harry tipped his chin up towards the shower head, letting the stream of water flow pleasantly down his neck and chest as Draco took him in his mouth and done unspeakable things to him with his tongue. Harry was in ecstasy, this was something he had only ever dreamed of and now he couldn't believe he was running his hands through Draco's soaking golden hair as he engulfed Harry. It wasn't long before Harry came with earth-shuddering force as he moaned Draco's name. He had dreamed of this for so long and he could barely believe this was happening. Draco stood again and they kissed deeply, Harry, enjoying the taste of himself in Draco's mouth, savouring the intensely erotic moment between them.
Harry wanted to return the favour for Draco but Draco wouldn't hear of it.
"Nuh-uh" He had whispered, smiling and shaking his head. "You won the race remember." But at that moment, as Draco's lips found the sensitive spot at the nape of his neck once again, Harry couldn't remember a thing.
A/N: Well how was it for you? Cigarette? Lame joke I know - but let me know what you thought (of the chapter, not the joke obviously). It's my first steamy scene and I honestly have no idea if this is good or not so please review! I need to know if I'm on the right track before I write any more scenes like this. So if you want more like this, it would be helpful if you reviewed.... Thanks in advance if you do review!
