Chapter 35:

Hermione woke up to the rays of the sun shining against her fair face. It was a beautiful summer morning and Hermione couldn't have been happier.

She felt Draco's body next to her, and couldn't help but reminisce the magical events that occurred the previous night. Her body was filled with butterflies as to what would happen today. How would he treat her after the passion they shared? Would he freak out and back away from the relationship? Or would it bring them even closer?

Last night was very special to her. She gave up her virginity to a person she loved from the bottom of her heart. What made it even better was the fact that he loved her too.

She turned around to face him. He was stirring in his sleep, about ready to wake up. She looked at his calm features and couldn't help but admire his beauty.

Although he always made her feel beautiful and complimented her non- stop, deep in her heart Hermione knew that Draco was very popular among the females. But who could blame them? He was a very handsome guy.

His pale skin, and fair blonde hair was enough to drive any girl insane, but those deep gray eyes had handpicked him out of a crowd of attractive guys. Their color was so unique, especially when they glowed with warmth.

Draco woke up a few seconds later, he turned around to look at his girl and noticed that her mind was in a distant place.

"What are you thinking about, beautiful?" he asked, distracting her.

"Huh? Oh, nothing." she replied with a shy smile.

He kissed her on the neck and whispered "I love you." into her ear. He then got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

Hermione decided to lay in bed while he was gone, and take in the early morning air. She breathed deeply and stretched in every direction. She then decided it was about time to get up, she gathered her energy and lazily sat up.

Draco came into her bedroom wearing a sexy smirk on his face.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked her, seductively.

"To brush my teeth." Hermione simply replied.

"Why can't you stay in bed with me a little longer?" he asked, in mock hurt.

"Because, I usually brush my teeth when I wake up." replied Hermione, smiling.

She stretched her arm, and took the robe that was on her bedside table. After wrapping it tightly around her body, she finally got up and started walking towards the bathroom.

"Ouch." said Hermione, sitting down soon after she got up.

"What is it?" asked Draco, worriedly.

"It hurts when I walk." said Hermione, a little confused about the revelation.

"I told you." said Draco, a gloating smirk playing on his sexy lips.

"What?" Hermione asked.

"Draco Malfoy in action." replied Draco, as a bigger smirk replaced the existing one.

"Urgh, I thought you were joking." said Hermione walking painfully.

"Baby, I never joke." Draco answered sexily.

"What am I supposed to do now?" she asked angrily.

"Oh don't worry, it wouldn't last for too long, I was being gentle last night." Draco reassured her.

"Oh thank god." said Hermione rolling her eyes, as she made her way to the bathroom with a slightly annoying pain.

When she came back to her bedroom she noticed a box with a red rose on top of it on her bed. She was curious as to what it was and hurried to find out.

On the edge of the bed she saw Draco sitting down with a sweet smile on his face.

"What is this?" she asked.

"A present." replied Draco, grabbing her by the waist and bringing her down to sit on his lap.

"Oh wow, what is it?" asked Hermione, now with a wide grin on her face.

"Why don't you open it and find out for yourself?" replied Draco, kissing her temple.

Hermione pulled the box closer to herself. She brought the rose up to her nose and couldn't help but admire it's sweet scent. She placed the rose on her lap and reached for the box, taking her time in opening it.

Once she opened the box, her mouth gaped with shock. Inside the box was one of the most beautiful sights Hermione had ever seen. On a rich burgundy velvet pillow, lay a platinum and diamond necklace unlike anything Hermione had ever seen.

"Do you like it?" Draco asked her.

"Of course. It is so beautiful." replied Hermione, staring at her gift.

"Not as beautiful as you." said Draco, kissing the tip of her nose.

"Oh wow Draco, when? How? Why?" started Hermione. She had so many questions to ask but didn't know how to ask them. She was absolutely shocked.

"Shhh love, don't worry about anything. Just enjoy it, ok?" he asked her.

"Ok." she replied, pecking him on the lips.

"Now, let me put it on you." he said, gently taking the necklace out of the box. He opened Hermione's robe and brought it down to her shoulders, revealing her bare upper body. He ran his fingers on her skin, sending a chill down both of their spines.

He placed the necklace around her neck, and closed it from behind her. He then turned to face her and looked at her in admiration. The necklace fitted her beautifully. It contrasted her tanned skin, and brought out the glimmer in her eyes. It wasn't too small, neither was it too bulky. It was perfect.

Hermione got up and walked to a nearby mirror. She looked at the reflection that was looking back at her and couldn't help but smile with happiness. The necklace was absolutely perfect. Just like Draco.

Draco came behind her and placed his arms around her, bringing her into a close hug. Hermione sighed into his embrace and placed her hands over his. He started kissing her jaw line and nibbling on her ear, brining back all the memories from the love they exchanged a short time ago.

"Are you ready to come back to bed now?" he asked sexily.

Hermione couldn't help but giggle in reply, she turned around to face him and placed her lips on his. She kissed him for a few minutes, arousing and teasing him with her sexuality, and then walked away.

"I'm going to prepare some breakfast." Hermione said evilly, trying to walk out of the room before he had a chance to bring her back in.

"I don't think so." said Draco pulling on her arm, and bringing her closer to him. The then threw her on the bed playfully and laid on top of her.

"Draco, come on, I'm hungry." said Hermione, giggling.

"You'll eat later, don't worry, I'll even feed you if you wish." said Draco brushing kisses all over her body.

Hermione sighed deeply as she realized this was a lost battle. She embraced him, and was swept away in the passion of their love making.
