Draco POV
On Thursday morning I walked St. Mungo's and made my way downstairs to the apothecary labs. Today I needed to find Ginny sometime and see if she could watch the kids tomorrow night. I needed a night alone with Hermione and I knew that Hermione needed a night alone with me even more. I could tell by the way she touched me and kissed me last night that she was dying for some alone time, for some time like we used to have before the kids.
I loved Ellie and Luke to death and would do anything to make them happy, but they did seem to have a way of interrupting when things were getting heated between Hermione and I. Last night I was lost in Hermione when Luke had come to the door, to say I was a little disappointed would be an understatement, but it was what it was. I knew Luke was scared and he came first, no questions asked. With all of that being said, I still needed some alone time with my wife. It had been so long since we'd actually had the chance to be alone together without any interruptions or without the worry of interruptions.
I got to work on some potions that needed to be created and made my rounds while I waited to make sure everything was in order. Over the last few years I had worked my way up in the apothecary system at St. Mungo's and was now the Head Apothecary on staff. I was in charge of making sure everything was running smoothly and talking to any patients with concerns about the potions we were administering them. I worked closely with the Healers and the different workers within the hospital. This gave me the chance to get out of the apothecary lab every now and them, which was nice. The lab as in the basement of the hospital and slightly reminded me of the dungeons at Hogwarts.
"Hey Draco," a voice came from my left as I walked away from a group of new apothecaries, they'd just graduated and were still learning the ropes of how things were done at St. Mungo's. I turned to see Shawna, one of the other main apothecary's on staff. She was blonde and skinny, like a model. She was hot, don't get me wrong I still noticed those things, but she was nothing compared to Hermione. She didn't seem to care that I was married, since she'd started working here she'd been flirting with me and making advances which I never responded to. One of these days she'd get the picture that I was completely taken and had absolutely no interest in her.
"What's up Shawna?" I ask, making sure to stay a good distance away from her, she was awfully touchy feely.
"You're needed in Room 206," she informs me with a coy smile.
"Thanks Shawna," I nod. "Watch over everything down here for me while I'm gone," I say. She may be annoying and not completely professional, but she is reliable and good at what she does.
"No problem Draco," she purrs and I walk away, not looking back. She reminds me an awful lot of what Pansy was like back at Hogwarts, chasing after me without realizing I had no interest. Pansy had changed over the years though, after she'd met Ron they'd become attached at the hip and were still going strong with two kids as well.
I made my way up to the second floor and down the hall to 206 where I found a patient sitting in the room with a redheaded Healer, Ginny. "You called for me Dr. Zabini," I say as I enter the room. It was perfect that Ginny was the Healer that needed me, since I needed to speak to her as well.
"Good morning Malfoy," she smiles over her shoulder at me as she continues to write something on the chart in her hand. "This is John and he was just treated for splinching. I've prescribed him some pain potions for any residual pain he may have and he wanted to talk to an apothecary about the possible side effects," Ginny informs me as she sets down the chart and turns to face me.
I nod towards Ginny before I turn towards John. "Good morning John, I'm Draco Malfoy the Head Apothecary on duty. What questions can I answer for you today?" I ask.
I answer all of John's questions before Ginny sends him on his way. When Ginny and I are alone in the room I say, "Do you have a minute Gin?"
She glances down at her watch before answering. "I'm free for the next half hour. Shall we head to my office?" she asks, looking up at me with her green eyes. I can tell she knows something is up.
I follow her to her office and when we are in the closed office, Ginny turns to me. "What's up Draco?" she asks as she takes a seat at her desk. I take a seat in one of her office chairs before answering.
"I need a favor," I say as I cross my legs, getting comfortable.
"And what might that be?" Ginny looks at me, her interest piqued.
"Are you busy tomorrow night?" I ask.
"Not that I know of, what's up?" she asks.
"Would you mind babysitting?" I ask the question I came to ask, hoping Ginny would help out. Hermione and I needed a night alone together because I didn't think Hermione could take it much longer. She'd made it clear last night how much she wanted me...needed me...and I needed her just as much. We needed one night alone together, that would tide us over for a little while.
"Not at all," Ginny smiles. "Romantic night out?" she asks with that familiar twinkle in her green eyes. That twinkle she used to get back at Hogwarts when she knew that Hermione and I were sneaking off to get up to no good in my dorm room.
"Something like that," I smile as I think about spending the night alone with Hermione.
"Good because Hermione needs it," she says with a knowing smile.
"How'd you know?" I smile.
"We've talked and whether she told me straight out or not she's been more stressed out and irritable than usual, which usually means she needs some Draco loving," Ginny sends me a playful wink.
"That's very true," I laugh. "I need it too," I add with a sigh. I'm just better than hiding it than Hermione it turns out.
"Well then consider it done, we'll take the kids on Friday night and you can have the night to yourself for some sweet hot loving," Ginny waggles her eyebrows. "Consider it practice," she smiles as she rest her hand on her bloated belly.
"How much longer?" I ask, Ginny and Blaise are expecting their first child within the next few months.
"Four months," Ginny smiles, her face glowing. "Does this mean Blaise and I aren't going to have time to get it on when this little bundle of joy pops out?" she asks, a sudden fear in her eyes.
"Possibly," I nod. "Between work and taking care of the kids there isn't much time for anything else," I answer honestly. Hermione and I do the best that we can to make alone time, but it's not what we were used to before the kids. Instead of getting it on every free second we have, we only can a few nights a week and even then we don't have long. I know Blaise and Ginny's sex life is even wilder than mine and Hermione's ever was so they might have a little adjusting to do when the baby comes.
"Damn," Ginny curses with a pout. "We owe you Gin, we'll babysit whenever you guys need some alone time," I promise with a smile.
"Thanks," Ginny smiles, her mood brightening again. "We'll do the same for you, starting tomorrow night. Feel free to drop the kids off after work tomorrow, we'll have a little sleep over," Ginny smiles.
"Thank you Ginny," I smile.
"No problem Draco," Ginny smiles as I stand to head back to work.
I make my way back downstairs with a smile on my face as I think about just exactly what Hermione and I will get up to tomorrow night. I can't wait to feel her lips on mine again and her body pressed against me.
I can't push the fantasies out of my head as I head back to work, it makes the minutes tick by slowly. The thought of Hermione's hands on me roaming my body as mine are wrapped in her hair angling her mouth to mine so I can kiss her deeply. I let out a frustrated sigh as I look up at the clock, it's lunch time. I bite my lip as an idea pops into my head.
"I'm heading out for lunch Shawna, I'll be back in an hour," I say as I take off my white coat and hang it up on it's hook.
"See you when you get back," Shawna calls, but I'm already halfway out the door.
I quickly make my way out of St. Mungo's and along the busy streets of Wizarding London until I reach the Ministry of Magic. I follow the familiar path to the Aurors offices and find Harry in the lobby, heading out for lunch. Harry is in charge of the team that Hermione works on and is therefore her boss. "Hey Draco, what are you doing here?" Harry asks when he sees me. Since Hogwarts times I've become close with both Weasley and Potter, we buried the hatchet and are not friendly.
"Visiting my wife," I smile. "Is she in?" I ask, hoping she is. If not, then I just wasted my time rushing over here.
"Yeah, she's in her office. Do me a favor Draco and make sure she takes lunch. She's been working way to hard on this case and needs a break," Harry says and it doesn't surprise me.
"Will do," I smile as I make my way back to Hermione's office where her door is closed.
I knock on the dark wood and wait. "Come in," Hermione yells distractedly from behind the door.
I open the door and enter the office, making sure I use all of the charms and spells that will keep anyone out when I close the door. I have something planned and it's not the kind of thing that I would want anyone to walk in on.
"Do you have time to come back later? I'm kind of busy right now," Hermione says, not looking up from the papers on her desk.
I make my way over to her desk and around the side until I'm standing next to her. I reach out the brush her curls off of her neck as I lean in and whisper in her ear, "I have no intention of leaving this office until you've screamed my name," my voice is husky and I can feel my body reacting to my own words.
Hermione jumps in her seat as she turns to face me. "Draco," she gasps when her eyes meet mine. "What are you doing here?" the shock in her voice is evident.
"You," I answer simply before crashing my lips to hers. It doesn't take long for Hermione to kiss me back and soon our tongues are battling for dominance as Hermione sits in her chair and I lean down to her level, tangling my hands in her long curls.
"Mmmm," Hermione moans against my lips as she pulls me closer, she can't get enough and neither can I. I start to pull away and she follows me, her lips still firmly planted against mine as she rises from her chair. I turn us to she's positioned against her desk, trapped between my hips and the desk. We both let out a moan as I grind my hips into her's, showing her just how badly I want her. Hermione jumps up onto her desk and wraps her legs around my waist, her skirt riding up her legs. As we continue to kiss I let my hands roam over her gorgeous curves and her exposed thighs. One hand dips underneath her skirt and touches her where she needs me most. "Mmm, Draco..." Hermione moans at the slight contact and throws her head back. I take this as a cue to continue on.
I remove my hand to which Hermione moans, instead I use my hands to pull her hips to the end of the desk. I push up her skirt even father and pull off the lacy black panties she has on underneath. With one look up into her dark brown eyes I know she knows exactly what I'm about to do and she can't wait. I don't drag it out, I use my fingers and my mouth to give Hermione exactly what she wants and exactly what she needs.
When she comes down from her high, I stand up straight and give her a long kiss. I know she can taste herself on my lips and that makes it even hotter. When I pull away from her lips and back up she reaches out for me saying, "Where are you going?"
"I've got to get back to work," I answer, looking at the time. I have just the perfect amount of time to grab lunch and head back to the office.
"Can't I return the favor?" Hermione asks, looking up at me through her lashes. She's damn hot right now and she knows it.
"I'd love for you to babe, but I have to get back to work and so do you," I sigh, wishing it wasn't the truth. I want nothing more than to let Hermione return he favor, but we both know we don't have time for that.
"Harry won't mind if my lunch runs a little over," Hermione assures me as she slides off her desk and makes her way over to me, wrapping her arms around my neck.
I lean down and give her a quick peck, "Ginny said yes, you can repay the favor tomorrow night," I drop my eye in a wink and Hermione's face lights up.
"Oh trust me, I will," Hermione promises before pulling me down for one last heated kiss before releasing me. "I'll see you at home," she smiles at me. I can tell that the little magic I worked on her helped relieve some of that stress she'd been keeping bottled up.
"See you babe," I smile before giving her one last peck and leaving her office. When I'd woken up this morning this wasn't how I saw lunch going, but I definitely wasn't complaining. I was happy I'd gotten the chance to give Hermione exactly what she was craving most, I just wish she'd been able to return the favor but time wasn't on our side. We'd make up for all of it tomorrow night when we had the chance to be completely alone. I had so many things I was dying to do with Hermione tomorrow night, I couldn't wait.
Thanks for reading and I'd love to know what you think!
