Chapter 20

Notes: Hiya lovely readers! I know it's been waaaayyyy too long for this chapter but real life hasn't let up for me lately. I've been working on my various stories to try to get back into a mindset where I could write on this one. Thank you all for patience, it is much appreciated. I would also like to say to any who think this has/is moving too fast on some aspects, it is a fanfiction and I go where the story leads me. Not to be rude, but if you don't like it then don't read it, simple as that. Thank you to all who have and continue to have an interest in this. I promise the next chapter is already written, just needs checking over and will be up soon. Love you all!

When dusk fell and a knock was heard, Hermione had been absorbed in her book completely. After the second knock, she realized her vampires were there. As a smile blossomed, Hermione rose to greet her vampires properly. When they entered, hugs and gentle kisses were given.

"Where are the others?" Eric asked as he looked around the quiet tent.

Chuckling, Hermione answered, "Harry and Draco are locked in the workout room until they come to a truce or kill each other and Severus is in the lab."

"Ah, finally had enough of their antics, min älskling?" Godric inquired.

"Merlin, yes!" Hermione exclaimed on an exhale. "I am so tired of their dancing around each other, their bickering and lingering looks. So when they started up today, I magically sent them in there before sealing and silencing the room. I so do NOT want to hear what they get up to."

Godric and Eric chuckled at her exasperation and were surprised she hadn't done this sooner. It was obvious to everyone else that the two wizards were attracted to each other but had yet to figure out how to break their old habits when in each other's presence.

"Is Severus still working on his secret project?" Godric asked his witch, as he watched her for any tells she might give.

"Yes he is." Was the only reply Hermione would give. Both vampires had tried over the last few weeks to get any information from their witch but she had stayed tight lipped over whatever project her mentor was working on. Of course, neither one could figure out why they weren't told any details. It wasn't like it would have to do with them, could it? They couldn't think of any potion that would or could be made that would have anything to do with them. However, both knew something was amiss when their witch would only smile with a twinkle in her eye. They were certain that it wouldn't be anything to harm them but they couldn't figure out what it could be the Potions Master could make for them. It was a situation that had both vampires extremely curious but they dared not push Hermione or Severus for any details, they would both become closed off and, as Eric had found out, could be hexed for bugging them too much.

Godric chuckled when he remembered that night. Eric had tried to get information about the project when Hermione and Severus had shared a silent conversation Eric had missed before both of them pointed their wands at him and quietly sent a hex each at his child. Eric had stiffened when the first hex hit him then twitched before he started chuckling. Then something happened that Godric hadn't seen in far too long, his child had gracefully fallen into the nearest chair laughing heartily. It was a sound Godric had missed hearing and then realized, when he caught Severus' smirk, that he had sent a tickling spell towards him.

After several minutes, Severus finally released Eric of the spell and told him to stop asking. Eric, taking a few moments to gather himself, had smirked at them with a tilt of his head. They learned then that Hermione had sent a stinging hex and Severus had indeed sent a tickling jinx. Chuckling, Godric had told them that nothing else would be asked, message received.

As they settled in, the conversation flowed as smoothly as it always did. Personal questions were still kept to a minimum but all three had managed to continue to learn about each other, their lives and their respective worlds.

They say 'timing is everything' and Hermione found herself agreeing. The night had been like all the others since she got here except for the ending. As Godric and Eric had stood to leave, Hermione gave Godric a hug as normal but when he went to kiss her cheek, she had turned her head to quietly thank him for another enjoyable evening causing their lips to meet. She had frozen at first, her mind blanking of everything but the feel of his cool lips on hers, then her brain caught up and realized Godric was waiting for her reaction. He still held her gently but his eyes were watching her closely. When Hermione's eyes fluttered closed was when Godric pulled her closer to him and moved his lips over hers. After a few moments, Hermione decided to deepen the kiss and was rewarded with a low, quiet groan and arms tightening around her.

They kissed until Hermione had to pull away for some much needed oxygen. When her eyes met Godric's, she couldn't hold back the sharp intake of breath. His eyes had darkened in his state of arousal and Hermione found herself captivated. Instead of pressing for more, Godric gave her a lingering touch of lips before he smiled and backed away before he walked out.

Eric had watched his Maker and their witch embrace as usual before things turned heated. He held his breath when he saw their lips meet and wondered what would happen. He and Godric had wanted to properly kiss their witch but didn't wish to push her too quickly. So it was with baited breath that Eric watched the slight change in their dynamic. When Hermione allowed the kiss and then showed no resistance when it was deepened, Eric quietly let out the breath he had been holding. He had to admit that it was quite the sight to watch as their witch relaxed into his Maker's embrace and returned the passion given with her own. Eric hoped he would be allowed the same opportunity but if she didn't instigate it, neither would he. It was her choice and hers alone.

When Godric stepped away and walked out of the tent with a smile, Eric waited patiently for Hermione to come back to reality. The look on her face was priceless, from what Eric could see, she was shocked, pleased and slightly aroused. He smiled gently as her fingers ran over her lips as her eyes started to slowly focus.

Hermione couldn't believe just how wonderful kissing Godric would be. Oh, she had dreamt of it often enough since meeting the ancient vampire but her wonderings held nothing against the real thing. Her lips still tingled from the pressure of his and she could still taste him on her tongue. It was nothing overwhelming or particular even but a subtle taste that was Godric. She smiled after a moment as reality slowly cleared the fog from her mind. Realizing she wasn't alone, Hermione slowly turned around to face Eric. Should she kiss him the same or would it better to keep things status quo with him until she figured out what direction things were going? She bit her lip as she slowly raised her eyes to meet his.

What she saw she couldn't believe. Eric was watching her cautiously. Hermione knew if she wanted to keep things platonic, he would honor her wish but, if she wanted to take things further with him, he would be alright with that as well. Allowing her gaze to brazenly check the Viking out, her lips parted as she saw him slowly walking towards her. When her eyes sought his out once again, Hermione's breath caught in her lungs. There was undisguised desire there and Hermione knew she wanted both vampires and they would be okay with that. When Eric's arms wrapped around her waist, she rose on her tiptoes to meet his lips. This kiss became explosive as soon as their lips met.

When Eric lifted her up, Hermione wrapped her legs around his waist and held on for dear life. Godric's kiss had been passionate but slightly restrained; however, Eric's kiss was all consuming. Hermione couldn't help the moan when their bodies came into full contact. His hard chest and strong arms were heavenly to feel and she couldn't help but tighten her legs around his waist. She had no clue how long they kissed, same as with Godric, but she knew she didn't want it to end. When her lungs finally demanded she give them air, Hermione broke the kiss. It took her a moment before she opened her eyes but when she did, she was met with a pair of icy blues that held the promise of pleasures beyond her imagination when she was ready. After gently kissing Eric, Hermione untangled her legs and he allowed her to slide down his body. Hermione almost moaned again when she felt the evidence of his desire for her but managed to keep it to herself, however she wasn't able to completely suppress the shiver that ran down her spine. After her feet were on the ground, Hermione looked up and smiled with a slight tint to her cheeks, not quite believing her brazenness. However, when Eric smiled at her and leaned in to place a gentle kiss to her forehead before stepping back to leave, she sighed in contentment.

This definitely changed their relationship but, Hermione hoped, in a good way. She stood there and closed her eyes as she relived both kisses. She was sure that Godric had held back, at least a little, when they kissed but Eric sure hadn't. She giggled when she thought about it all. She had kissed both vampires and enjoyed herself immensely. She hadn't known how to broach the topic of a relationship with either of them. She wasn't sure if they would consider a threesome or if she would have to choose between them. Sighing happily, Hermione felt she could finally breathe knowing that they seemed to have no problem sharing. Her face turned bright red when that thought crossed her mind. A quiet chuckle escaped her lips when she thought of how many of her old friends and classmates would be floored by her wanting to be in a threesome with two ancient vampires; Hermione shook her head as she headed towards her room, she was curious what her dreams would be.

Godric couldn't keep the smile off his face when he stepped out to wait for Eric. The kiss had been unplanned but he couldn't bring himself to not feel ecstatic about it. When their lips had met, he had stood perfectly still to allow his witch to decide how it would go. If she had pulled away, he would have let her and thought no more of it. But she hadn't, she had allowed him to kiss her and then she had responded gloriously when he had deepened it. Her eyes had literally fluttered closed and he would have pumped his fists in the air if his arms hadn't been otherwise engaged with holding her close.

Her lips had been so soft against his and when she had allowed his tongue to caress hers, he had been in total bliss. When she had tightened her hold on him and melded her body to his, Godric had had to pull on all of his two thousand plus years to stay standing. Hermione felt wonderful pressed so exquisitely against him. He was quickly reminded what it meant to be a man, her curves complimenting his planes perfectly. It had been so long since he had felt such a rush just from a kiss and such intimate contact from another that he couldn't believe how wonderful it had felt. Godric knew things would continue at her pace and he was alright with that. Hermione would be well worth the wait, that kiss sure had been.

Eric wasn't sure what to expect but the look Hermione had when she turned to him had him on alert. Her eyes had caressed his body as a lover's would and it took all his discipline to keep himself in check. He allowed her perusal but when her eyes met his, he couldn't hold any longer. When he stepped towards her he was pleased to see her stand her ground. She met his eyes once more before he captured her lips in a heated kiss. He knew Godric had held back but he wasn't going to.

He appreciated Hermione meeting him half way and when he lifted her up, taking a chance, he couldn't help but groan when her legs wrapped around his body. It was heavenly, by the gods; it was as close to Valhalla he could get at the moment. When his witch had responded to his kiss with her own ferocity, Eric knew his life had just become a whole lot sweeter. She was so responsive that he couldn't help but wonder what it would be like once flesh met flesh. When his witch had to break the kiss for some air, Eric allowed her to see his emotions in his eyes. He actually enjoyed showing something other than cold or malice. Of course, he never showed those emotions to her but not enough of his time was in her presence so it was quite pleasurable to show her and take in her reaction. Then she surprised him by leaning in and giving him a gentle kiss before the petite witch unlocked her legs and Eric loosened his hold to allow her to slide down his body, making sure she felt his response to her. Just as her feet hit the floor, Eric couldn't help but feel the shiver that ran through her body and bit back the smirk threatening to form. Instead he held her a moment longer, noticing the pink hue to her cheeks before leaning forward to kiss her forehead, trying to convey that she was still precious to him. As he stepped away to leave, he heard her sigh and let a full smile to grace his face. It was a wonderful sound and he hoped to make her do it more often.

Once out of the tent, Eric noticed Godric standing patiently to the side. He observed his Maker and knew that they both were quite happy with the turn of events. Hermione was a wonderful woman and they knew she would be worth every second of waiting. As Eric stepped up to Godric, they both headed back to the cabin in companionable silence. Neither spoke of their encounters with their witch for some time, just enjoying the turn of events.
