Wide Awake: Chapter 13

"Of all the things in this world you could hate, Cinnamon is at the top of the list?" Hermione asked pulling out her keys an unlocking the door.

"Well my list has shortened considerably since the war." Bellatrix said irritably.

"I'm sorry Bella; I didn't mean to poke fun." Hermione said.

She felt like she couldn't say anything right today. But Bellatrix didn't seem to mind because she pulled Hermione to her and kissed her as they crossed the threshold, closing the door behind them.

"I know Hermione. You are just curious…and I find that sexy." Bellatrix said breaking the kiss.

"Oh do you?" Hermione asked raising her eyebrows.

"Yes and I am anxious to see how far that curiosity goes." Bellatrix replied lifting Hermione in her arms and placing her gently on the couch.

Hermione moaned as Bellatrix began to kiss down her neck.

"Let's take this off." Bellatrix said removing Hermione's coat and her own cloak as well.

Something thick landed on Hermione's stomach and she looked down to see what it was. It was a letter.

"Um Bella what it that?" Hermione asked.

Bellatrix picked up the letter and threw it to the floor to join her cloak.

"Nothing, just a letter." Bellatrix replied.

"A letter from whom?" Hermione asked.

"Cissy." Bellatrix said dismissively.

All thought left Hermione's head for a couple seconds as Bellatrix continued her assault on her neck, but that letter kept nagging at her. It seemed like a long letter judging by the sheer weight of the envelope, and she thought that Bellatrix should read it.

"Stop thinking about the letter." Bellatrix snapped.

"But…it might be important." Hermione said.

Bellatrix let out an irritated groan and reached down for the letter, getting off Hermione. She sat up and ripped open the letter. Hermione watched as Bellatrix's dark eyes narrowed as she read the words on the first page of the parchment.

Hermione could tell that whatever Narcissa had said in the letter didn't much convince Bellatrix of anything. And Hermione knew that Bellatrix didn't want to talk about Narcissa right now, but it was no use putting it off. She would have to deal with it sooner or later. After a couple of minutes Bellatrix crushed the letter in her hands.

"Not good news?" Hermione asked apprehensively.

Bellatrix shook her head. Angry tears were threatening to fall from her eyes. Hermione placed a hand on Bellatrix's arm and she took it as a good sign that Bellatrix did not shake it off.

"Maybe we should call it a night." Hermione suggested after a short silence.

"No…I wanted this date to be perfect…and Cissy…had to go and ruin it. I should have read the letter this morning." Bellatrix replied.

Hermione wasn't sure what to say, because she didn't want to say the wrong thing again. But it looked like Bellatrix had other plans; she threw the ball of paper across the room and resumed her kissing of Hermione's neck. Hermione took it as a sign that Bellatrix was trying to think of something else before she lost her temper and Hermione wasn't going to complain, Bellatrix's mouth was amazing.

"Mione…" Bellatrix whispered.

"Yes?" Hermione replied.

Bellatrix looked down at her, a light blush covering her cheeks and chest. Hermione saw a plea in those dark eyes that surprised her.

"Let's go upstairs." Hermione suggested.

Bellatrix wrapped her arms around Hermione, and for a second Hermione thought Bellatrix was going to break down, but she was engulfed in a cloud of black smoke and a few seconds later they landed on Hermione's bed with Hermione on top. Bellatrix had just apparated them upstairs.

"Make me forget Mione…" Bellatrix pleaded pulling the younger woman to her.

She didn't ask what Bellatrix meant, because she knew it was about the words in the letter. She began to kiss down the column of Bellatrix's throat, forcing small moans and gasps to fall from Bellatrix's lips. Though she was curious to know what Narcissa had said in her letter, she pushed it out of her mind for the time being, making a mental note to ask Bellatrix about it at a later time, right now she just wanted to focus on the beautiful woman beneath her.

"Hermione…" Bellatrix gasped as she felt the younger witch gently squeeze one of her breasts.

Bellatrix spread her legs so Hermione could settle herself between them, her skirt riding up her creamy legs, touching the skin of Hermione's torso that had become exposed when she shifted position. Hermione could feel the heat coming from between the dark witch's legs and wanted badly to touch her, but wasn't sure how far she could go now. She decided to take a chance and run her left hand down Bellatrix's thigh, moving beneath her skirt. Bellatrix's sharp intake of breath told Hermione that she had not been expecting it, but it was not unwelcome.

"Please Mione…please…make me forget…make me forget everything…" Bellatrix pleaded.

Hermione wasn't sure if Bellatrix was in any fit state to make a decision like that, but Bellatrix didn't wait for Hermione's brain to stop in its pros and cons battle. She gently grabbed Hermione's wrist and pulled it towards her heated center. Hermione got the idea and snapped out of her musings, kissing Bellatrix as she stroked her though the fabric of her lace underwear.

"Fuck." Bellatrix moaned.

Hermione placed kissed between Bellatrix's breasts, nipping at them through the fabric of her dress. Her own arousal was becoming more apparent as she continued to elicit moans from the older woman. Hermione's thumb brushed against Bellatrix's clit and she felt Bellatrix's hips jerk forward. She knew what Bellatrix wanted, but at the same time she knew that this was going too fast. She thought back to earlier that day when Bellatrix had effortlessly brought her to orgasm, she wanted to do the same.

"Gods yes…" Bellatrix gasped as she felt Hermione move the thin piece of fabric out of the way.

Bellatrix clutched at Hermione, running her hands though her bushy, brown hair, pulling her impossibly closer to her. Hermione wasn't too sure what to do; she had never really done anything like this before, except on herself. Then she moved her thumb over Bellatrix's clit. The reaction was instantaneous. Bellatrix moved her hips forward, pushing them into Hermione's hand.

"Fuck…gods…don't stop." Bellatrix said between pants.

Hermione moved her hand against Bellatrix's center, making her moan louder. Bellatrix's head was spinning. The girl was a fast learner indeed. Another brush of her clit, lips on her neck and the weight of Hermione's body moving against her set her off. Her hips bucked and she threw her head back, clutching at the sheets as her orgasm ripped through her.

"Her…mione…fuck…gods…yes…fuck!" Bellatrix moaned loudly.

Hermione kept moving her thumb against Bellatrix's center until her orgasm subsided. Hermione removed her hand after a few minutes and Bellatrix wrapped her arms around the younger woman breathing deeply. Hermione lay there listening to the sound of Bellatrix's rapid heart beat. They lay there in silence. But the sound of tears broke their moment of bliss.

Bellatrix had started crying.

Hermione looked up into Bellatrix's dark, tear filled eyes.

"What is it? Did I do something wrong?" Hermione asked.

Bellatrix shook her head and pulled Hermione back down on her chest. She continued to hold Hermione for what seemed like hours.

"I…I haven't been with any other women…outside of my sisters…" Bellatrix said after a while.

Hermione opened her eyes. How could she not have known? It was obvious that she and Narcissa were intimate regularly, but it never occurred to her that there was more to their sisterly relationship than Bellatrix had let on during their sessions. The letter had proved that Hermione concluded.

"So I was your…first?" Hermione asked not sure if she had worded the question right.

"In a manner of speaking, yes." Bellatrix replied her voice thick with emotion.

Hermione said nothing she just laid there continuing to listen to Bellatrix's tears. She wasn't going to mention the letter, but Bellatrix seemed to know what she was thinking about.

"Cissy told me that she…doesn't want to see me until I…apologize for scaring you." Bellatrix said.

Hermione looked at Bellatrix confused.

"But you don't need to…I understand." Hermione said.

Bellatrix shook her head, there was more and Hermione was curious.

"I…I tortured her Hermione. I tortured my own sister!" Bellatrix shouted.

Hermione sat up and looked at Bellatrix in shock. Bellatrix had mentioned that she had tortured Narcissa many years ago, but Hermione had never thought it could happen again.

"I know…I am a monster." Bellatrix said softly.

Hermione said nothing, she wasn't sure what to say, but this nagging voice in her head told her that she should say something.

"I don't think you are a monster." Hermione said.

"You're a fool." Bellatrix said dryly.

"A fool who wants nothing but to be with you." Hermione said.

"She tortured me back…I guess I deserved it…and who is to say that I wont do it to you if you make me angry?" Bellatrix asked,

There was fear in her voice, and that was a little unsettling to the younger witch, she hadn't known Bellatrix to be afraid, except when she herself was tortured by Bellatrix. But she knew too that she could handle it if the situation ever came up.

"I don't think you will." Hermione said matter-of-factly.

Bellatrix gaped at her.

"Seriously, I don't think you would. Though you hurt Narcissa…there is a deeper connection there, a much older connection…I don't think you would hurt me." Hermione continued.

"But she is blood Hermione." Bellatrix argued.

"All the more reason for it to make sense, look, Narcissa is equal to you in skill and in intelligence, and well I may be equal in intelligence, my skill is no match for yours, though I think there was a subconscious choice for Narcissa to challenge you, to see who would win…and well I dare say that she did win." Hermione said.

"Well…yes she did win. But the fact of the matter is, I don't trust myself." Bellatrix admitted.

"I do." Hermione said simply.

Bellatrix moved off of the bed and stared out the window, it had started to snow again.

"Why? You are a fool, a brilliant fool, but a fool nonetheless." Bellatrix said wrapping her arms around herself for comfort.

The cold hadn't bothered her in a long time, not since Azkaban.

"I may be a fool, but I know that if you wanted to hurt me, you would have done so by now…not effortlessly bring me to orgasm." Hermione said.

Bellatrix could hear the smile in the younger woman's voice and she turned to face her.

"You enjoyed that did you?" Bellatrix asked, a smile gracing her lips.

"Wasn't it obvious?" Hermione asked in mock concern.

Bellatrix uncrossed her arms and tapped her chin in thought.

"Hmmm I don't know, I think I will need a re cap of events to figure out if you really did enjoy it." Bellatrix replied moving towards the bed.

Hermione swallowed, she couldn't keep her eyes off Bellatrix's hips, which were swaying as she walked closer and closer to the bed. Bellatrix leaned down and placed a kiss on Hermione's lips. Hermione moaned and pulled Bellatrix down on the bed.

"You said you wanted a recap…well here goes." Hermione said.

She straddled the older witch, and pressed her lips once more to Bellatrix's neck. Bellatrix moaned and ran her hands the length of Hermione's torso.

"I had an intense burning…" Hermione continued.

Bellatrix gasped as Hermione sucked lightly on her pulse point, lightly biting as she pulled away.

"And you made it go away." Hermione finished kissing Bellatrix once more on the lips.

Bellatrix moved her hand down the length of Hermione's legs, stopping at the wave of heat that met her hand at the apex of the younger woman's legs. She began to rub Hermione though the fabric of her slacks. Hermione threw her head back and moaned at Bellatrix took it one step further and unbuttoned her slacks, sliding her long fingers over her clit. Hermione ran her fingers though Bellatrix's curls and pulled her closer, moving her hips to the rhythm that Bellatrix had set.

"Yes…fuck…Bella…yes…" Hermione moaned.

Bellatrix frowned a little, she loved to hear Hermione as she pleasured her, but she was quick off the mark.

"Much like Rodolphus." Bellatrix thought bitterly.

The loss of motion in Hermione's hips snapped Bellatrix back.

"Where did you go?" Hermione asked softly.

" I'm here M, I am right here." Bellatrix said resuming her stroking.

Hermione's mind went blank as Bellatrix pushed her palm against her center, that drew out a loud moan from Hermione who bucked her hips harder.

"Fuck…Bella…I'm…cumming!" Hermione moaned as her orgasm hit.

Bellatrix continued to rub as Hermione rode out her orgasm, shuddering and falling forward, so that she was lying on top of Bellatrix. She felt arms encircle her and she lay there panting. After a few minutes Hermione glanced at the clock.

"It's getting late." Hermione said.

Bellatrix looked over at the strange contraption that Hermione had referred to and closed her eyes. She never spent the night, she usually was the fuck once and leave type, she and Rodolphus didn't even sleep in the same room.

"Would you like me to leave?" Bellatrix asked.

"No, actually I want you to stay, but if you're not comfortable, then I won't force you. I want to do this at your pace." Hermione replied looking at Bellatrix.

Bellatrix considered the young woman for a moment, as much as she wanted to stay, she needed to see Narcissa, and to be alone to think for once. She hugged Hermione tight to her body, and Hermione knew that Bellatrix was going to leave.

"As much as I want to love…I think that it would be better if I left." Bellatrix replied.

Hermione sat up and rolled off Bellatrix getting to her feet. Her legs were shaking and her head was spinning.

"I understand Bella. We have made progress." Hermione said cheerfully.

Bellatrix got to her feet as well and straightened her skirt. They walked down stairs and Bellatrix put on her cloak.

"I will send you an owl." Bellatrix said.

"I had a really good time today." Hermione said softly.

Bellatrix smiled at the young woman's innocence.

"I did too…thank you for today." Bellatrix said pulling Hermione into a kiss.

"No, thank you." Hermione replied breaking the kiss.

Bellatrix hated long goodbyes so she opened the door and left without another word. Hermione watched as Bellatrix walked down the dark street and turned on the spot vanishing in a cloud of black smoke.
