A/N: Lemons, guys... so many lemons. I've never written anything like this before, so tell me what you think.

I do not own Harry Potter...

"All the time." The words tumbled out of his mouth louder than he intended.

"What?"

"I think about it all the time. Us. You and me. Together."

"You do?"

"Yes. Is that crazy?" He raised his eyebrows, feeling suddenly very unsure.

"Preposterous."

"Does that matter to you?"

"Not a bit."

They both smiled a bit stupidly at each other before Hermione crawled toward him and kissed him softly on the lips. He closed his eyes and brought his palms to her face, settling his fingers in her curls. She backed away for a moment, just enough so their noses barely touched and their breath mingled. He was in complete and utter shock... His brain swam with delirious happiness. Was this actually happening?

His eyes shot to her lips as her tongue darted out the slightest bit to moisten them. Not able to wait another moment, he captured her entire mouth with his, causing her to groan and her arms went around his neck. He was overwhelmed by the feel of her body against him - his arms slipped around her waist and pulled her even closer. They both fell back onto the bed in a tangle of arms and legs.

"I just..." he spoke between kisses. "I don't deserve you..." He was practically panting now as her hands snaked inside the front of his shirt and began caressing every inch of his chest. He sat up, breaking their frantic kissing just long enough for her to help him off with his shirt. He had never seen her grin like that. He felt himself blush as she continued to explore his body with her hands.

"I want you too." She confirmed breathlessly. "So much...you just..." She was struggling to find proper words while his strong hands were searching her curves continuously. "I didn't know how you felt about me." She wasn't sure before tonight, but right now he was not leaving her any room for doubt.

"You're amazing." He spoke the words emphatically, pausing his ministrations for only a moment to look in her eyes. "I wish I would have realized sooner."

He rolled them so he was on top, leaning on his elbows and began kissing down her jaw toward her neck. She let out a moan as he nipped her ear with his teeth before sucking it gently. The noise she made caused him to have a visceral reaction in his pants and he chuckled in her ear. "You like that, yeah?"

"Mmmhmm…." Hermione was certain she lost all power of speech. She turned her head toward him and captured his lips with hers again, opening immediately at the feel of his warm tongue against her own. It was Draco's turn to moan now, but the sound was all but swallowed by the witch beneath him as she ran her nails over his scalp.

"Take off my shirt." She panted in his ear. Grinning, he wasted no time removing her pajama top and tossing it behind him. Her skin was deliciously warm against his but he raised up on his forearms so he could drink her in with his eyes before kissing her lips softly again.

"Granger... You're so fucking beautiful."

She smiled and blushed. God, he loved to see her blush… He kissed her deeply once more before moving down her neck and chest as he ghosted her breast with the softest of touches. Tweaking her nipple, he brought the other into his mouth, sucking it gently. Hermione was moaning and writhing in earnest now. Draco smiled at the sound and spoke low before doing the same to the other side, "Do you like that, love?"

"Yes...yes, Draco." She could only manage little whispers because her nerves were completely on fire as she ran her fingers over his broad shoulders.

"Mmmm...I like it when you say my name." He passed his lips over her breasts, teasing her with his breath.

"Do you?" She smiled. "I like it when you call me 'love'."

He smiled as he kissed his way to her navel, massaging her breasts and stroking her sides as he did so, which elicited another moan.

"Come here." She grasped at his head, bringing him up to face her again. She kissed him deeply, cradling his face in her hands and searching his eyes. "Draco?"

"Yes?"

"Do you love me?" She wasn't entirely sure why she needed to know right now, but things were moving quickly and she wanted to be sure this wasn't just a one time deal for him.

His cheeks colored as he answered, which she found ridiculously adorable. "More than anything." His smile was beautiful and his tone was certain - almost as if it was a relief to finally say it. He kissed her so deeply, with so much feeling, it almost made her cry - she was so happy.

"Good." Her fingers played with the soft hairs behind his neck. "Because I think I love you, Draco Malfoy."

Her skin against his chest and her arms around his neck and her fingers in his hair felt amazing and warm and just right. He laid down beside her so they were facing each other and as tired as he was, he was almost afraid to fall asleep. Not for fear of nightmares, but wondering if all of this was actually not real at all.

"You know I'm a mess, right?" He attempted a smile, but she didn't miss the hint of uncertainty in his eyes. "You could do so much better than me..."

"Stop it." She admonished him gently, shaking her head. "Did you apologize to me?" He nodded. "Did you mean it?"

"Of course I did." His eyes were wide with sincerity.

"You've proven yourself to me over and over these last few weeks. I love how you care for me so sweetly." She brushed his hair off his forehead and trailed her fingertips down his cheek before kissing him softly. "I like being close to you."

He studied her eyes for a moment as he trailed his fingertips gently down her side and squeezed her hip. Her hand rested on his bare chest and he wondered if she could feel his heart threatening to burst through his ribcage.

"What do you want from me, Hermione? I'll give you anything you want…. I'm completely at your mercy." Every galleon, his family name, all of it meant nothing if he couldn't have her.

"Just you." With those words, she trailed her hand down his abdomen and grasped at the waistband of his sweats with her fingers.

Oh.

Draco nearly came unglued. He leaned in to suck her bottom lip into his mouth with a throaty groan and pulled her warm body toward him again, reaching around to squeeze her bum with both hands as he rolled her on top of him. She kissed him firmly and sat up, with her knees on either side of him, and removed her pajama pants. Draco bit his lip as she gingerly stepped out of them and tossed them to the floor while never taking her eyes off him.

She was now all but naked on top of him and he just couldn't get everywhere he wanted to be at once. He raised his hips and slid his pants down, Hermione helping to remove them completely then she was back on top of him, kissing him and grinding her hips into his. Grasping her hips with both hands, he continued to rock her back and forth over his impossibly hard cock.

He couldn't help but groan an expletive at her movements - this woman was killing him in the best, most excruciating way. Rolling her back on her back, he began exploring her body again with his lips and tongue. She moaned and arched her body into his kisses which made him smile. His lips were planting soft kisses just below her navel and he looked up at her, begging permission to continue his journey south. Her response was to buck her hips slightly toward his chin. Sweet fucking merlin... he thought as he grasped the sides of her knickers and slid them down her thighs.

His grin was downright predatory, but she wanted him so badly. She wanted this. She smiled shyly at her own boldness as he removed her knickers the rest of the way, stroking the length of both of her legs as he settled back down between them.

"So fucking beautiful..." he whispered again. "Is this okay?" He asked huskily as his fingers moved higher up the inside of her thigh.

"Yes…." she answered with a breathy whisper.

"Fuck, Hermione….. You're so wet…" he groaned as his fingers teased the surface of her cunt.

"Yes... Yes…" she panted. She knew she was, but him telling her how wet she was, let alone the amazing things he was currently doing with his hand was making it infinitely worse….or better such as the case may be.

He raised up to capture her lips with his as he continued to stroke her pussy and swallowed her moan as he inserted first one, then two long fingers inside her. She moaned wantonly and thrusted her hips with the rhythm of his hand.

"You're so soft and wet, love." He whispered between kisses as he continued massaging her womanhood. "Is this for me?" He planted a soft kiss just below her ear that made her shiver and she could only nod slightly in response. "Will you let me taste you?"

The very thought of his face between her legs made her moan with pleasure. "Please...please…"

He chuckled at her pleading, but he would not keep her waiting. Moving down her body again, he settled himself on the bed between her legs, spreading her thighs further apart with his hands before giving one slow lick to her slit. She cried out incoherently with pleasure. Grinning again to himself, he set to work on her, licking and sucking with his lips and tongue. Her skin was absolutely vibrating with pleasure. How is he so good at this? She wondered silently. Once she was properly wound up, he added a finger, and then two while he continued to attack her clit with his tongue. She couldn't handle any more.

"Draco... I'm... I'm gonna…"

"Go ahead, love. I want you to come." He continued thrusting her with two fingers.

"Yes...ohmygod…. Don't stop…" she gasped, rocking her hips harder into his face as he ate her furiously.

"That's it…. that's a good girl...Just like that…"

With a shout of his name (which he very much enjoyed) and an incoherent shriek, Hermione came undone. She had never ever felt like that before.

Placing a kiss on the inside of her thigh, Draco smiled to himself as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. He had to admit he was quite proud of himself for leaving her in this state.

"Was that alright?" he asked mischievously as he kissed her. She tasted herself on his lips, but she didn't care.

"Mmmhmm… needs practice." She panted. She smiled saucily as she reached for the front of his boxers and stroked his hard length through the fabric. His smirk was gone in a heartbeat as she massaged his aching cock, making him groan and collapse into her neck.

"Granger… are you sure?" he growled. "I don't want you to think this is all I want."

"I'd like that now, please." She continued stroking him, crooning in his ear. "Pretty please, Draco."

In a flash, he was standing, removing his shorts, and then he was back on top of her. He held her in his arms, kissing her lips, her chin, her jaw, before looking at her intently. "I want to see your eyes when I come inside you. Is that okay?"

"Yes….I want you…" she panted as he lined himself up and slowly pressed himself inside her. She couldn't help but gasp as he entered her fully, stretching her deliciously and they both groaned.

"Hermione... So fucking tight. You feel so good."

She bit her lip and wrapped her legs firmly around his waist as he began to move. He rocked his hips against her a few times before pulling slowly out almost completely and pressing in again. She closed her eyes and arched off the bed as he kissed her neck and continued his slow, methodical pounding. The sounds she was making were driving him absolutely mad and he was having a hard time keeping his slow pace. He wanted to bring her over the edge again.

"Look at me." His tone was soft but commanding - she had no choice but to comply. She looked in his eyes and could tell he was close to coming undone, but the way he looked at her was something she would love to get used to. "Are you close, love?" he panted.

"Yes…" she hissed just as he brought his lips to hers again. "Talk to me, Draco. I want you to talk to me…"

He grinned. So….straight-laced, rule-following Hermione Granger liked the dirty talk. Who would have guessed? "What do you want me to talk about?" he teased. "The charms essay that's due on Monday? My Christmas plans?" He chuckled into her neck at her sound of irritation but drilled into her harder before growling in her ear. "Do you want to hear about what I want to do to you, Granger?"

"Mmhmm...yes…" she moaned as she raked her fingernails down his back.

"I want to fuck you just like this until you can't see straight."

"Yyyeeess...please… fuck me..."

"I want you to come for me just like this. I want your tight little pussy to come all over my cock."

"Mmhmm…yes...more…."

"Just like you did on my hand, Granger, you got my fucking hand all soaked, didn't you?"

"Yesyesyes..."

"Will you be a good girl and come for me again, princess?" He sped up as he felt her walls grow tighter.

"mmmhmmm...so good…" He smiled, but he was on the verge.

"I want you to do something for me, yeah?... Can you do something for me, love?" He brought one hand between their bodies and massaged her clit causing her to scream as his hips slammed into her again and again.

"Anything... I'll do anything…" Hmmm... he couldn't help but think, I'll just file that one away for later...

"I want you to say my name…. I want you to scream it...when you come. Will you do that?"

"yes yes yes... Keep doing that…"

"Good girl." Draco couldn't handle any more talking. He was nearly exploding, so he tried to think about literally anything else while he hammered into her furiously, waiting for her to climax.

"YES….god...fuck Draco…. that's it... I'm...ohmygod Yes! Draco!" With a scream of ecstasy, Hermione came as her hips bucked into him of their own volition.

After three more thrusts he unloaded inside of her with a groan and collapsed on top of her, peppering her jaw with kisses.

He rolled off to the side, still inside her and held her in his arms while their breathing slowed. Hermione rested her head against his chest and sighed.

"So." That one syllable was all she could handle once she caught her breath.

"So." He echoed as he ran his fingers through her hair.

"Umm...I very much liked that."

"Did you? I couldn't quite tell."

She giggled. The reality of what they had just done - and all they had said - now made her quite shy. She buried her face in his neck, embarrassed by their vulgar words. "I can't believe what I said…"

"I know..." He laughed with her. He was just as shocked at her naughty mouth. "Such a dirty little minx, you are!"

"You were just as bad!" She sat up to look at him.

"Well, I meant every word, princess." He noted her rosy cheeks at the nickname that had tumbled out earlier. "I only hope you're not going to just use me for my body." They both chuckled before he turned and looked at her earnestly. "Because I intend to be around for as long as you'll let me. I want to make you happy, Granger. I want to show you that I can be better than I've been. I want to take care of you, if you'll let me... I want to make you feel safe."

Hermione knew there would be details for them to work out. She was certain a relationship with Draco would be full of complications, but if she was honest with herself, she knew she was a complicated enough person that something too easy would seem boring.

"That sounds wonderful to me." She looked up and kissed him sweetly on the cheek.

They fell soundly asleep in each other's arms.

Whhheewww... I hope that was okay! I'm honestly a little embarrassed - I've seriously never written anything like this before. I had intended to end the story here (with them realizing their feelings for each other), but now I'm wondering if I could continue it. Maybe as a separate story? Thanks so much for reading - your reviews are so much appreciated! xoxoxoxo
