Chapter 12.
Later that evening, Hermione came to meet Fleur as she was leaving the office. She kissed her chastely on the cheek, but discreetly ran her hand down Fleur's back before quickly grabbing her ass.
"You are incorrigible," Fleur laughed with a faint blush.
"Can you blame me when I'm dating a woman that looks like you?" Hermione said with a confident smile.
"What are you doing meeting me after work? I thought you would be home later tonight," Fleur asked, beginning to walk down the street with Hermione.
"Yes, I have another therapy session this evening, but I wanted to get in some happy Fleur time before dredging through old battle scars for an hour," Hermione said, frowning at the thought of the difficult memories she was working through in her therapy. Fleur took her hand and squeezed it.
"I'm proud of you," Fleur said softly but firmly, "I know it can't be easy. But you're finally working through some of this stuff instead of letting it destroy you."
"I know, I know," Hermione sighed, "Its just unpleasant is all. Okay, I had better duck away now, but I'll see you at home, love."
Fleur smiled broadly at the term of endearment as Hermione squeezed her hand one last time before quickly crossing the street and disappearing into the crowd.
Fleur continued walking through the after-work crowds on her way home, humming lightly and musing over what she could make her and Hermione for dinner that night. It was some time before she noticed someone had fallen into step with her. Startled, she glanced to her side to see Ron walking beside her.
"What do you want?" Fleur asked icily.
"I thought I told you to stay away from Hermione," Ron growled.
"Bit hard when we live together," Fleur retorted coldly. She picked up her pace but Ron easily matched her increased speed.
"Hermione is naïve and trusting, she needs protecting from people like you," Ron said stoutly. Fleur stopped in her tracks, widening her eyes with disbelief.
"Needs protecting?!" Fleur replied in shock, "Have you not noticed how the war has changed you three? Its hardened you all, toughened you. Hermione is the one that everyone was worried about me needing protection from. Especially after she spiralled into such a dark place with you."
"We were fine together!" Ron bellowed back, drawing stares from passersby. Ron noticed this and took a step back from Fleur, raising his hands, palm outwards. He lowered his voice before adding, "Just stay away from her, okay?"
Fleur was momentarily struck by the coldness in Ron's eyes. Before she could say anything else, he turned on the spot and apparated away.
Hermione and Fleur cuddled together on the couch after dinner, watching another one of Hermione's favourite Muggle movies in the background.
"You've been quiet since you got home, was therapy okay?" Fleur asked gently. Hermione sighed and put an arm around Fleur, drawing her closer for comfort.
"Well, its never nice… It was just extra draining today," Hermione said tiredly. Fleur leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips.
"I'm proud of you, mon amour," Fleur said earnestly. Hermione smiled, cupping Fleur's cheek with her hand and drawing her in for another kiss.
"Is that so? How about you show me how proud of me you are?" Hermione asked with a sly smile. Fleur blushed, feeling the familiar arousal jolt through her at the way Hermione was looking at her. She moved to straddle Hermione's lap, putting her arms around Hermione's neck. Hermione's eyes moved hungrily up and down her body.
"This is how proud of you I am," Fleur purred, leaning in to kiss Hermione deeply. Hermione let out a light moan of approval, her hands moving up Fleur's thighs to grab her ass, before running up her toned back.
They kissed deeply for a while before Fleur finally pulled away and began kissing and nipping at the sensitive skin of Hermione's neck.
"Ah, you make it hard for me to keep my resolve to go slow," Hermione said breathily. Fleur could feel Hermione's pulse racing as she kissed at her neck. Fleur sucked on her earlobe before tugging on it lightly with her teeth. Her lips brushed Hermione's ear lightly as she leaned in to whisper.
"I think we've been slow enough already," Fleur whispered with longing.
Hermione's resolve broke.
Her hands frantically moved to Fleur's clothes, all but tearing them off her. The feverish need of Hermione was turning Fleur on even more.
"What do you want?" Fleur asked, her voice barely above a whisper. She was beyond excited at this point. Hermione was watching her intently.
"Go down on me," Hermione replied. Fleur felt another jolt at Hermione's tone being one that was not asking, but demanding. Fleur slid off Hermione's lap to position herself on her knees in front of Hermione between her legs. She undid Hermione's jeans as Hermione pulled her shirt off. Hermione moved to help her with pulling off her pants and underwear.
Fleur was tempted to prolong the teasing by kissing her way slowly to Hermione's pussy, but Hermione tangled a hand in her hair, encouraging her to dive in straight away. Fleur leant in, surprised and pleased at just how wet Hermione was. Her first lick resulted in a strangled moan from Hermione, which made her smile before continuing. She wrapped her arms around Hermione's thighs, beginning to lick in short concentrated strokes. Hermione let out a string of exclamations before calling Fleur's name. Fleur wasn't sure she had ever been this turned on by someone saying her name before. She doubled down on her efforts, enjoying how much Hermione was writhing and moaning with pleasure. After what felt like some time, Fleur finally brought Hermione to a shuddering and breathy climax.
Fleur returned to sit in Hermione's lap, smiling a self-satisfied smile. Hermione was looking at her with pure, unadulterated adoration, which made Fleur's heart swell.
"Was that okay?" Fleur asked.
"I think you already know the answer to that," Hermione smirked, "Now do you want me to return the favour?"
"Yes," Fleur admitted, blushing again. Hermione smirked again, standing up and scooping Fleur into her arms in one fluid motion. Fleur was startled as Hermione carried her to her bedroom. She threw Fleur onto her back on the bed before climbing up on top of her and beginning to kiss her neck.
"You have no idea the things you do to me," Hermione murmured in a husky voice, continuing to kiss at Fleur's neck. Fleur's neck had always been particularly sensitive, and she struggled not to arch her back at the sensation of Hermione kissing her. While kissing her, Hermione's hands were roaming down Fleur's body, kneading at her breasts, gripping at her hips, roaming ever lower.
"Mon amour," Fleur moaned. Hermione smirked into her neck, pleased at finally eliciting a moan from the blonde beauty.
"I want you so bad," Hermione whispered, causing Fleur to shiver and goosebumps to break out on her skin. Hermione's hips were rolling against her rhythmically, driving her wild. Fleur went to run her hands down Hermione's body but Hermione grabbed her by her wrists, pinning her down. Fleur let out another moan and writhed beneath her.
"H-Hermione," Fleur panted, her eyes darkened with desire. Hermione smiled, sitting up momentarily and grabbing a wand from the side table. She wordlessly bound Fleur's wrists above her head. Hermione put the wand back and returned to her slow exploration of Fleur's body.
"Tell me what you want, baby," Hermione said in the same bold voice that drove Fleur to the edge.
"I want you, Hermione," Fleur whimpered, pleadingly.
"And what do you want me to do?" Hermione said, running a hand gently over Fleur's sensitive nether regions. Fleur tugged at the magic bonds that were holding her in place, letting out another moan.
"I want you to fuck me," Fleur said finally, desperately. Hermione smiled into her neck before resuming kissing at it as she slid two fingers inside Fleur.
Fleur let out a loud moan as Hermione began, slowly at first, to fuck her hard. She worked her way up to a faster pace, nipping at Fleur's neck between kisses and continuing to roll her hips against her. Fleur arched her back, moaning loudly.
"Say my name," Hermione said breathily, "I want to hear you say my name as you finish,"
Fleur let out a louder moan, writhing in pleasure before complying, calling out Hermione's name. Hermione then moved down Fleur's body, sucking and nipping at Fleur's nipples and kissing down her stomach, still thrusting her fingers into her rhythmically. Before she could kiss any lower, Fleur climaxed with a shudder, saying Hermione's name one last time.
Hermione sat up, grabbing the wand to unbind Fleur before wrapping the blonde in her arms.
"That was incredible," Fleur panted. Hermione kissed her temple.
"I'm so crazy about you, Fleur," Hermione said softly.
Fleur pulled a sheet over them and they settled into cuddling in bed together.
"I should tell you," Fleur said finally, "Ron has been giving me a hard time about you. He has approached me twice now and told me to stay away from you. He thinks you need protecting from me."
Hermione's body stiffened and she tightened her arms around Fleur.
"He's out of line," Hermione said finally, "He has no right to approach you like that. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. I'll speak to him."
"You don't have to fight my battles for me," Fleur murmured. Hermione shook her head.
"No, I need to tell him about us anyway," Hermione replied, "I'll meet him tomorrow and tell him to back off."
Fleur leaned forward and kissed Hermione's nose gently. Surprised, Hermione broke into a smile and she kissed Fleur back softly on the lips.
"I'm falling for you," Fleur admitted.
"Good, because I'm falling for you, too," Hermione replied with a smile.
