"Oh my god, Bella!"

The curly haired young woman was hunched over laughing at the memory of that night. She was so young then, Oh how she wished to have done things differently. Bellatrix had been everything Hermione wanted in a lover. Things just happened too fast and honestly, it terrified the young lawyer; even if she refused to accept that reality. It was well into the night as both women continued to lounge at the restaurant. Most of the staff had already went home, but since Bellatrix was good friends with the owner, they were allowed to stay a little longer. During the entire recap, Bella watched every movement of the younger woman across from her. Her heart cried as the older woman took in the sight of her ex-lover laughing. Oh, how Bella missed that smile.

"You were so nervous, I couldn't not tease you. It was like you were begging me to." Both women had lost count of how much wine they'd both consumed but neither really wanted to let go of the current mood. Getting up, Bellatrix approached Hermione with the intention of leaving. Hermione had other thoughts however. "Hey, kitten, I think it's time we maybe head out. If we stay here any longer the place might reopen and the owner won't be too hap-" Hermione had decided that she was tired of Bellatrix talking. Watching the woman approach her sent a new wave of excitement through her and all she wanted to do was touch her. "You know, that pretty mouth of yours can do so much more than talking right now." The younger girl breathed on Bella's face. Hermione had stood up as Bellatrix reached her side of the table.

With amazing stability and speed for someone who's ridiculously intoxicated, Hermione was pressing her body into Bellatrix's causing the older woman to lean onto the table for balance. With a grin the young lawyer leaned in to whisper in her ex lover's ear, "How about we find other ways to keep it occupied". Any refusal Bellatrix had, died once she felt teeth softly nibble on her ear. Gritting her teeth, Bella tried her best to fight the sudden arousal she felt for Hermione. Yes, they were alone in the restaurant, but still... Bella couldn't do that to a friend's place, right? It's like a principle or something. Hermione on the other hand didn't really care. Her ministrations moved from Bella's ear to her jaw and down to her neck. A moan escaped from Bellatrix causing Hermione to giggle. The younger woman sucked on the pale skin until it turned red. She knew the hickey would last for a couple days and that made her happy. People needed to know who Bella belonged to. Bellatrix on the other hand had thrown all thoughts out the window and dug her hands into the messy curls pushing Hermione closer to her. Bella sighed as Hermione lightly bit at her pulse point. God, how she missed the feel of the girl's mouth on her. Switching positions, Bellatrix suddenly had Hermione up on the table with her thigh pressed roughly against the the younger woman's heated core. Their wine glasses and plates crashed onto the floor but neither noticed as eager hands roamed the other's body.

"Be...Bella... I need...I need you, right now." Hermione was on fire. All this touching was driving her insane and the thigh pressed to her center was not helping the situation either. With Bellatrix touching everywhere but where she needed her the most, Hermione felt like she was suffocating and only Bella can bring her up for air. Hearing the younger woman's plea, Bellatrix grabbed her jaw and roughly kissed her. In their drunken state, both women moaned in pleasure and pain as teeth clashed together. Bellatrix had taken Hermione's lower lip between her teeth and bit into it hard. With Hermione's gasp, Bellatrix thrusted her tongue into the young woman's mouth. The mixture of blood and wine amplified the taste of Hermione for the older woman. Sucking the bottom lip to stop the bleeding, Bellatrix trailed kisses down the girl's jaw and down her chest, biting her the top of her breasts. Positioning herself in between Hermione's legs properly, Bella wrapped Hermione's legs around her waist. Placing one hand on the girl's lower back to keep balance, Bella brought her free hand and rested it on Hermione's thigh. Both women were heated and so the teasing would have to occur another time. With a silent agreement, Bellatrix tore off the underwear Hermione was wearing and ran her hand up the length of her soaking center. Hermione shuddered at the feeling of Bellatrix's hand playing with her folds. Wanting more leverage, the younger woman leaned back onto her forearms.

Without warning, Bellatrix plunged two fingers into Hermione, the younger woman gasped loudly as Bella stilled her fingers, allowing Hermione to adjust to the sudden intrusion. Pulling her fingers out slowly, a low wonton groan came from the curly haired woman. "Oh...Bella..." taking this as her okay, Bella continued to plunge in and out of Hermione at rapid speed. "You are so tight, kitten." The older woman could feel herself get aroused at how well Hermione wrapped around her fingers. Hermione didn't hear much of what Bellatrix was saying. The young woman had lost all control of her body and laid back fully onto the table, unknowingly giving Bellatrix more access to her. Using her other, now free hand, Bella started circling the girl's clit with her thumb. She was determined to make Hermione cum, hard.

"Fuck, kitten. You feel so good." Withdrawing her fingers, at the whine from Hermione, Bellatrix chuckled and plunged four fingers into the girl. Hermione screamed at the pain from being stretched so abruptly. She couldn't take it. She had forgotten how good Bella was with her hands and the pressure building up in her lower region was too much for her brain to comprehend. "Faster! Yes! Yes!" Bellatrix could feel the pressure build up in her stomach. Hermione's screams were driving Bellatrix close to her own undoing and she didn't care. It wouldn't be the first time Hermione managed to make the older woman cum by just moaning. With that thought in mind, Bellatrix kneeled down without withdrawing her fingers or slowing them down and replaced her thumb with her mouth. The scream Hermione let out almost drove Bella over the edge. Nibbling on the bundle of nerves in front of her, Bellatrix lost herself in the scent, sight, sound, and feel of the woman she will always love. She could feel Hermione nearing the edge, her walls were tightening around Bella's fingers slowing them down a bit. With a bite to her clit, Hermione came undo shouting Bellatrix's name.

"Bella! Oh my..Oh my go-ughh" Bellatrix continued nibbling on Hermione's clit as she rode out her orgasm. Feeling the pressure build up again, Hermione prepared herself for her second orgasm of the night. Bellatrix's fingers were still inside her, but instead of withdrawing them, Bella slowly moved them in and out, gradually building in speed. Feeling her walls tighten again, Bella curled her fingers. "Bella!" Hermione's scream hit Bellatrix hard and following the love of her life, Bellatrix came as well.

Out of breath, Bellatrix rested her head on Hermione's thigh in a weak attempt to catch her breath. Hermione on the other hand was on the verge of sleep. For a quickie, it surely took all the energy she had left. Standing up, Bellatrix surveyed their setting and the woman before her. Chuckling to herself, Bellatrix decided to call her driver. It seems Hermione was spending the night with her. She had no clue which hotel the girl was staying in, and sure, she could always call Draco or someone and find out, but where's the fun in that? "Seems we've made quite the mess here, Kitten." Hermione couldn't keep up. She was utterly drained, her response was merely a huff as she struggled against her exhaustion. Realising that she'll have to carry the younger woman, Bellatrix quickly wiped her fingers off and hooked her arms under Hermione's legs and back. With all the energy she had left, the business woman lifted her now sleeping lover off the table and made her way towards the elevator. Bellatrix was surprised the Hermione still weighed so light. In the immediate moment, she decided to store that info away until they were both sober. She needed to make sure her pet was keeping herself healthy.


The ringing of someone's cell phone rose Hermione from her deep slumber. Groaning she noted how sore her body felt. The sudden stab of pain in her head prevent the young woman from opening her eyes. She had been facing the bloody windows. 'Who sleeps with the curtains open already?' she thought while she turned around and buried her face into black curls cell phone forgotten. She relaxed after a while and then automatically froze when realisation hit her. Hermione bolted upright in the bed, only to notice that she had been sleeping next to a very naked Bellatrix Black. The older woman was still very much asleep to Hermione's luck. The girl sat there with a hand over her heart trying to calm the rapid beating. The blood rushing through her ears picked up as memories from the previous night came back to the young lawyer. She had slept with Bellatrix. Well, not sleep, they'd had a quickie at that restaurant they went to. Covering her now blushing face with her hands, Hermione silently scolded herself for not having better self-restraint. She had told herself, when the two first parted ways, that she would never sleep with the woman again if they ran into each other. But alas, here she was, naked and in bed with said woman. While the young woman was on the brink of a mental breakdown, she hadn't noticed her bedmate awaken.

Bellatrix had felt when Hermione bolted upright. At first, she assumed that the girl was gonna get up and leave. When she didn't feel Hermione move, Bella thought it was safe to continue sleeping until she heard the girl whisper things to herself. Cracking an eye open, Bella tried to stifle the laugh bubbling up at the sight in front of her. There sat a naked and very red Hermone, hands in her face and shaking her head vigorously. Her bushy hair swishing with the motion made it even more comical in the older woman's eyes. She must have been thinking back on their episode at the restaurant if the girl's full body blush was anything to go by. Placing a hand on her back Bellatrix softly spoke, "Good Morning, pet. Did you sleep well?" Hermione sat up straight when she felt the hand on her back. For some reason, she couldn't bring herself to turn to Bellatrix. In her mind, turning to Bellatrix would only make everything they did, real. "What are we doing, Bellatrix?" Hermione couldn't pretend like everything was alright, the situation needed to be dealt with now that they were both awake. No point in holding onto what used to be. Bellatrix removed her hand from the girl's back as something stung her. It was the words the woman spoke, or more so, how she spoke them. Bellatrix wasn't expecting such a cold tone from the younger woman. It brought a sudden emptiness to her heart.

"What do you mean?" Bellatrix's voice was barely above a whisper. She didn't want to anger the young woman at the moment. It seemed as if she was struggling with her emotions and Bella didn't want to make it unnecessarily harder for her. Gritting her teeth, Hermione launched herself from the bed and rushed to the bathroom. The slamming of the bathroom door made Bella jump. She was honestly confused as to why Hermione was so angry. Trying to not get irritated with the younger woman's brash attitude, Bellatrix got up and decided to throw on some clothes. It'd make their impending conversation easier if she was clothed. Approaching the bathroom door, Bella listened as the shower ran on the other side, knocking, she said a loudly enough for the girl to here "I'm not sure what the problem is Hermione, but I promise we can figure it out when you're done. I'll be out on the balcony making call. Just let me know when you're out."

Hermione was furious. With herself or with Bella, she wasn't too sure. She just knows that she's upset. For what? She had know clue either. She knows that she enjoyed her night with the older woman. Of course she did, Bella always knew how to have a good time. That wasn't the problem. Hermione slammed her fist on the tiled wall of the shower realising she was angry with herself. The memories from last night brought back the feelings she thought she had locked away for the Black matriarch. All that hard work, undone overnight because of a good fuck. She was absolutely livid with herself. This was why she couldn't stay with Bellatrix, she had reasoned. The woman made her weak. Her mere presence clouded Hermione's mind and drove out all logical thoughts. It terrified and excited Hermione. Bellatrix always knew how to bring out this primal, instinctual side of her. The side who saw no logic in the world, just action and reaction. The side of her who enjoys fucking in the middle of a restaurant at four in the morning. The part of her that wanted to fuck the woman outside in the alleyway of the club. She had no control over herself when Bellatrix was involved. Hermione prided herself on self control and with Bellatrix in the picture, such notion was nothing but a thought.

Feeling refreshed and walking out in just her towel, Hermione realised that she'd have to wear her dress from last night until she can get back to her hotel. Reminding herself to check the time after getting dressed Hermione grabbed her dress, while looking for her underwear, she facepalmed remembering Bella tearing it off her. The question of whether the pieces of thong were still on the restaurant gave way to a brief chuckle from the younger woman. 'Guess its commando today, just gotta make it back to my hotel without any issues.' she thought. Now fully dressed, Hermione made her way to the balcony to get this situation over with. Truthfully, she wasn't really angry anymore. Her shower had taken all the anger she had in her, but the woman wasn't gonna tell Bella that.

"Listen, Bellatrix, about last ni-" Bellatrix had raised her hand, effectively silencing the now wide awake young woman. With a defeated sigh she said "I know. It was never supposed to happen. It's alright, no need to drive yourself mad. Last night doesn't change anything. We're still strangers. I'm back to being just Draco's aunt and you're back to being Draco's friend." Hermione was stunned. Yeah, that was what she wanted to tell the woman, essentially. Hearing the words leave Bellatrix's mouth with such emptiness left a sour feeling in her heart.

"You're free to leave whenever you want. I'm gonna go shower." Hermione stood there in silence, watching the woman walk towards the bathroom. "Oh, and it was nice seeing you again, Kitten." It was something in the way Bellatrix said that last sentence that triggered Hermione into a response. Without thinking the young woman stormed upto Bellatrix from behind and pushed her into the wall next to the bathroom door. Turning her around, Hermione brought her face close to the older woman's and seethed. "You don't get to act like this Bellatrix. You don't get to act all defeated. We both know last night shouldn't have happened." Smirking Bellatrix ignored the slight pain in her shoulder from when the girl pushed her into the wall and stared into those brown eyes she loved so dearly.

"It was a lapse in judgement because we were both intoxicated. Don't make it seem as if either if us wanted." Hermione stepped back when she realised Bellatrix made no move to respond.

"I was doing so well without you, you know. And then you just had to appear and fuck shit up for me." Frustrated with the other woman's lack of response, Hermione growled. She needed to calm down. It was unreasonable for her to get so worked up considering Bellatrix had did them both the favor and wrapped up their situation neatly. But this is Hermione we're talking about, the young woman, had a knack for complicating things sometimes. Rising from the wall, Bellatrix placed herself in front of the woman. Looking straight in her eyes Bellatrix prepared herself for the words she's been holding onto since Hermione called them quits. It was early, she tried being civil and ending it how Hermione wanted it to end, and yet the girl just had to choose now of all times to be complicated. Bella was irritated and if Hermione wanted to argue, then she'll get an argument.

"No, Hermione. You-" pointing to Hermione. " Don't get to behave this way. Ever since we started this thing of ours, I've been accommodating. Never truly objecting your wants and needs." The older woman was breathing heavy as her emotions took over.

"Yes, we fucked last night. You, wanted it, incase you forgot. Yes, I admit that I could have resisted better. But what can I do? I'm weak when it comes to you. Everything I do was for- is for you. You never stopped to understand that though. And now that I've even pushed my feelings aside and helped move this situation along for YOU...You're suddenly upset with me. Do you know how much it hurts me to tell you that last night shouldn't have happened?! To pretend that after today we're back to being distant acquaintances who only saw each other when the situation calls for the both of our's attendance. NO, you wouldn't know. Have you ever stopped to think about how I could possibly feel in all this? Sure, I should've held my ground in some of the decisions you made for us during our triste. But I don't regret any of it because I did it all for you. And I'd do it all again if it meant that you'd be happy. So," Bellatrix took a deep breath in order to calm her breathing. Turning to the woman, she continued "So, if you'd please just leave. I honestly don't want to fight with you right now. You're upset and that's understandable but we can't sort out our issues while angry. I don't want to hurt you." Which a heavy sigh, Bellatrix turned and entered her bathroom. With the click of the door, Hermione was brought out of her stunned state. Bellatrix's words felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over her head. The young woman felt cold to her core. Her heart felt just as empty as it did the night she decided to walk away from Bellatrix. Steeling herself for the journey back to her room, Hermione wiped the few tears that fell down her cheeks and left the hotel room. For the first time since the initial parting, Hermione questioned if the choice to split was the right decision or not. The thought of Bellatrix hurting over it, tore at her heart.
