Chapter 10 : Honey on the Moon

Hermione and Draco dropped their bags in their room aboard the cruise liner. They were doing a cruise that would take them out to sea for three weeks up north. Hermione was grateful it was at least a magic cruise. She could deal with having to stay muggle, but Draco definitely could not last three weeks without doing magic.

She claimed the bed closest to the balcony, and Draco just gave a defeated sigh as he plopped down on the first bed. He always took the bed closest to the window, what was that crazy bitch thinking?

Hermione gave a smirk. Thankfully she knew more about him than he knew about her.

"What are you smirking about? Are you out to ruin my whole vacation?"

"This isn't a vacation, this is our honeymoon; and yes, yes I am trying to ruin it."

"You know, a happy husband makes for a happy marriage, Hermione."

"Too bad there isn't a thing in this world that could make you happy when it comes to me. Well, nothing shy of dropping dead." Draco gave a smirk, she was catching on. "You know what, I think I'm going to go down and mingle with some people. They'll be better company than you. When you're done sulking, you can find me in the dance room."

"And just why are you going to a dance room? You have no dance partner, nor formal clothes."

"Its a muggle dance floor, and tonight is pop music. Kind of like a dance club. I don't need a partner or a nice dress to get low." Hermione stepped out of the room and walked down.

Draco was getting impatient. It had been four hours since Hermione left. She hadn't returned and he was sure that once she realized how boring she was, that she would come back to the room. But, she never did come back and as much as he hated her nagging voice, he hated silence more.

He was starting down the hall when he saw Hermione giggling with three guys. They seemed to be having a great time and two of the guys seemed to be getting pretty cozy next to his wife. As he got closer he saw her face tinged red on her cheeks and the wine glass in her hand. That bitch has been down here drinking this whole time. He was feeling his anger building up at this point; after all, who gave her permission to be out talking with other guys.

"Hermione, you're really pretty you know." The man to her right was hitting on her

"You -giggle- must be blind -hiccup-! I'm not -giggle- that pretty at all."

"Not, you really are." The man to her left interjected. "Why would you ever think you weren't?"

"Haa! No really! Its the truth. I'm just a nerdy bookworm." Hermione was wa more than obviously drunk at this point. "Even my own husband -giggle- thinks I'm a waste of oxygen."

"Well, you're husband doesn't know what's right in front of him. Perhaps we could show you how you should be treated?" The man to her right was offering lewd suggestions as his arms wrapped around Hermione's waist.

"I don't think -giggle- my husband would -giggle- appreciate that offer."

"Let him watch and he can take notes. We could please you."

"That won't be necessary, gentlemen. I know damn well how to get my wife screaming my name without your dirty help." Draco interjected, grabbing Hermione's arm and practically dragging her up to the room.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!"

"I was -hiccup- talking! That's all."

"There was obviously more to it."

"No there wasn't. You're -hiccup- overreacting."

"Over reacting?" Draco scoffed. He couldn't believe the things she was saying. He didn't care if she was drunk, she can obviously think well enough to form coherent sentences. "He had his arm around your waist!"

"He was just being friendly." Hermione giggled.

"They were propositioning you for a gang bang, Hermione!"

"What do you care?" Even in her drunken stupor, she could send hatred his way. "You're the one who said I wouldn't get any affection in our relationship."

"Is this punishment for what I did in the club?"

"Why? Is it tormenting you that other men want me?"

"Yes! You're my wife. You can't just go gallivanting off with whomever you want!"

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were jealous." Hermione got real close to Draco, practically straddling his lap. "Does it make you jealous that other men want me?" When did her voice change to that sultry, seductive purr? Draco tightened his fingers on Hermione's waist. "Well, too bad, Draco Malfoy. I'm not an unlikeable person! I'm plenty capable of having a man and if my own husband isn't going to even try to satisfy my needs, they WILL be satisfied somewhere else." Hermione got off his lap and went for a nice cold shower to sober up before going down to the party once more, this time with Draco right on her heels.

"Draco, really. If you're not going to dance and have a good time with me then what was the point of coming down here?"

"To keep my harlot of a wife away from other men."

"Harlot? Hardly. You've had more lovers in two months than I have in my entire sexual history."

"So then you're admitting you've only been with Weasley?"

"Not at all. And it's really none of your concern who I've been with."

"How can it not be? You may have some unknown disease."

"I think you're at a higher risk than I am for that kind of thing."

"Who dammit?"

"None of your concern!" Hermione got up from the table overly flustered. She was here to relax dammit. Well, if you disregard the whole husband part, she might be able to.

Draco had lost sight of Hermione for over two hours. He finally concluded she wasn't in the dance room and headed back to their room to look for her there. When he opened the door, he found the room dark and unoccupied; just as they had left it earlier. Where the hell did she disappear too? Draco was starting to get a bed feeling, and it had something to do with those guys from earlier.

A/N::

Hey guys sorry this one took so long! I have been trying desperately to finish up Forbidden Touches and get on to Part Two in the Forbidden Series before I could focus on my other stories. And of course my "The Parents" story is being WAY neglected. D: I'm so rushing. But I definitely want to get at least one running fic finished. I've never completed a chapter fiction all the way out. So I'm really trying my best.

Hooray! Draco is getting the urge to play the knight in shining armor :D I'm so happy for him! See? He's not a total ass. I wouldn't do that to him XD. Sorry this chapter is a little short, but it was written in the midst of all this commotion n.n next one I will make good and long for you. Well, I will try to atleast =)

By the way, if my horizontal break line isn't above my "A/N::" then I have no idea how to put horizontal breaks because what I was doing for my previous chapters, for some reason unbeknownst to me, has stopped working. So if anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. =)

Check out my other fics please!
