Author's note:

Dear readers,

another chapter for you to enjoy. I'm truly sorry for the long hiatus, but I was busy with my studies and writing a wedding newspaper for my brother as well as battling a case of writer's block. I hope that I'll be able to update once on Sundays from now on, although I can't promise anything because the new term at university started four weeks ago and I'm pretty occupied with work. Thank you so much for reading, reviewing, favoriting and/or following my story. You are truly awesome. ;)

Have a nice Sunday,

Chapter 14 – Heartbreaks can be mended by gentle touches!

Master bedroom, Prince Cottage, Cornwall, December 1978

Severus nudged his newly wedded wife playfully in her naked side. Damn, Olivia looked like a forest nymph with her ruffled honey-blond curls, sweat-plastered skin and rosy cheeks. She had the well-shagged, satisfied and dazed aura of a beautiful woman who had been pleasured with multiple orgasms by her insatiable new husband. Severus couldn't help but smirk smugly at her. He was proud of his bedroom skills and had perfected them with the love of his life over the last years. He always aimed to pleasure her multiple times and explore her sexy body like the map of a new landscape. Sure, he knew every soft spot that made her moan in desire, cry out in ecstasy or lose her ability to speak in orgasmic bliss, but he always longed to explore something new of her body and make their love life exciting.

Olivia smiled happily at her husband and expressed in a playful voice, "Damn, I love how you always secure that I enjoy myself multiple times during our lovemaking. You really are a generous lover and overachiever between the sheets, my love. And I'm such a lucky woman to have bagged you. If the gossiping ninnies at our wedding knew what I passionate lover you are, they would have turned green out of envy. Merlin, I would have been forced to beat them away with a stick if they knew what is hidden under your robes. Thanks for always worshipping me like a queen, Severus." She gushed with sparkling honey-brown colored eyes and kissed her husband passionately on the lips. Severus embraced her naked body tightly, returned her kisses with vigor and played with her wild honey-blond curls. Salazar, how he loved to feel her perky breasts pressed against his muscular chest, her full cherry lips pressed upon his pale ones and her delicate fingers sunken in his broad shoulders. Sometimes, he was overwhelmed with the happiness, love, and bliss he felt in her arms. She felt like home and he couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with her.

He deepened their kisses for some minutes, nipped gently on her bottom lip because it elicited a sensual moan from her lips every time that made him feel like the most powerful wizard of the world and entangled their tongues in a passionate dance because he was addicted to her natural taste. He would have loved to spend the afternoon in bed with her, but his stomach started to grumble and he knew that she must be hungry as well because they had spent the last four hours making love in their huge four-poster bed. And good sex really tired one out and burned a lot of energy. Thus, he regretfully pulled his lips away from his gorgeous wife and exclaimed in a cheeky, smug voice, "Well, my love, I'm lucky to be able to call such a true goddess and firecracker between the sheets my wife. You spurn me on to exceed your expectations in bed and satisfy your needs multiple times. You don't have to thank me for pleasuring you. It is my job as your lover and I love every minute of our lovemaking. I'm sure that the old ninnies of the Wizarding world would be shocked to death if they viewed our lovemaking sessions in a pensive. But they wouldn't admire me. They would only be jealous of your perfect body, vocal ecstasy, and unworldly flexibility between the sheets. I thank my lucky stars every day that I'm the only one who gets the privilege of seeing your body wither in pleasure and shatter in orgasmic bliss." He swatted her lightly on her naked butt and husked into her ear, "I would love to bend you over our kitchen table and have my wicked way with you again, but you have truly exhausted me and I need to eat something, Liv."

Olivia started to giggle, drove her fingers through his thick, sweat-plastered ebony locks and messaged his skull gently, "Well, Severus, I can't help myself but shag you as often as I can on our honeymoon. You are like a highly addictive drug and I long to be near you every minute of the day. And if I seem to recall everything right, you didn't complain about my insatiable carnal desires. In fact, quite the opposite, for you attacked me with your maddening kisses on our couch. So don't play the angel of innocence." She pecked him on the cheek and sighed, "But your famous ratatouille with rice sounds like heaven right now. And you are right. We really need to recharge our energies for tonight." Olivia kissed him gently on the lips, disentangled her limbs from his and stepped out of their comfortable, blue satin sheets covered four-poster bed. She gazed over her shoulder at her husband's stunning naked physique. She loved the abs and muscles swimming at the Merlin Institute Swimming Center had given him, although she loved her husband more for his brilliant mind, sweet nature and dark humor. And nature had been very kind to him in gifting him with a huge, thick cock that could drive her body to unimaginable pleasures. Rowena, she really was a lucky lady.

Olivia winked sexily at the love of her life and held out her hand to him. "Come on, Mr. Sexy Back, get up from the bed. If you want to spoil me with your self-cooked ratatouille, we need to get a shower first. And I can't wait to soap every centimeter of your skin." Severus took her hand, pulled her on his lap and husked into her ear, "I also can't wait to lather your sexy body and wild mane with your body wash and shampoo. It was a genius idea of me to create your own body wash and shampoo that sooth your skin, enchant your natural scent and make your hair shine. I love your honey, vanilla and roses scent and your argan oil and roses shampoo turns your wild curls into smooth, beautiful waves. I hope that I can bury my hands in them later tonight." He squeezed her naked butt, stepped up with her from the bed and carried his squealing wife into the bath-en-suite. They had tiled it with stylish taupe-colored floor tiles and cappuccino-colored wall tiles and equipped it with crème-colored sanitary china and crème-colored bathroom furniture. He loved it because it looked so warm and homey. Olivia was his life and he loved their unconditional, easy love. He loved the home and life they had built together and he couldn't wait to fill his brain with more happy memories of blissful days.

The Prince heir placed his wife on the bench in their huge rainforest shower and summoned their body wash and shampoo bottles with a non-verbal, wandless Accio. He caught her body wash and shampoo in mid-air and directed his bottles onto the bench beside his beautiful wife. Olivia smiled at him lovingly and bit her bottom lip sexily. "Damn, I'm such a lucky bastard to call this stunning, good-hearted and intelligent goddess my wife. I can't believe what a fool I have been at Hogwarts to notice her beauty this late. My obsession with Lily Evans really turned me into a blind, hormone-driven and pathetic drama queen. I'm so grateful that Olivia managed to beat some sense into my thick skull and made me see the true wonders of life and love," Severus thought in a dazed voice. He moved closer to his love, squeezed a hazelnut-sized drop of her shampoo into his hands and began to massage it gently into her hair. She sighed into his ministrations and moved her head in languished movement. "Oh, Severus. You really are a true master at head-massages. I know why I love your talented hands and fingers so much," Olivia uttered in a husky voice and caressed her husband's chest lovingly. Severus smirked at her, intensified his rubbing motions on her temples and enjoyed listening to her sensual, carefree moans. "I long to worship every square centimeter of your body, my love. And your voluminous, shiny honey-blond curls are one of your best features. They deserve to be truly worshipped," he whispered in her ear and lathered her wild curls with the foam of her shampoo.

Satisfied with his handiwork, he bent down to kiss her sweetly on her lips and squeezed a generous amount of her honey, vanilla and roses body wash into his huge hands. He started to lather her sexy, well-trained shoulders with her unique body wash and enjoyed listening to her quickened heartbeat and labored breath. "Damn, I can smell her arousal. I bet that she is dripping wet for me and I long to be inside her lovely, tight cunt. But I really shouldn't get distracted like that. Sure, our honeymoon is supposed to be a highly-pleasurable, adventurous lovemaking marathon, but I don't want to make it all about sex. Hell, being a randy, married teenager is my boyhood dream come true, but I don't want to reduce Olivia to a living sex doll. I know that she would be more than happy to enjoy some passionate shower sex with me right now, but my rational mind tells me that we both are too exhausted and hungry to make it into a mind-boggling, pleasurable experience. Besides that, I also enjoy to spoil her with massages, self-cooked meals and walks around the beautiful hills and parks of Cornwall. Thus, tune out your sexual thoughts, Severus, and focus on enjoying your time with your beautiful wife", Severus scolded himself in his mind and soaped his wife's breasts and toned midriff with lazy motions.

He smirked at his wife's flushed face and husked into her ear, "I would love to make love to you inside our shower now, Liv. But I realize that I would probably only be able to give you a poor performance because I'm exhausted from our hours in bed and really hungry. I promise to make it up to you tonight, my love. Although your moans and sexy body drives me nearly insane with desire and lust, I promise to cook you my famous ratatouille with rice to satisfy our growling stomachs. You know how smug I am about my powers in the kitchen." He whispered into her ear and gently soaped her beautiful vagina with his body wash. He could feel that she was wet for him and was tempted to bury his face between her legs to pleasure her orally, but he only hunched down on his legs to massage her labia sensually and enjoy her strong grip on his coal-black locks. He loved that he could arouse his wife with a few gentle caresses and that she always gave him the feeling to be truly desired. "Dear Merlin, I love that you are already wet for me, my sweet butterfly. I like how you are leisurely massaging my dark curls and make me feel loved, desired and cared for. But I fear that we must delay our sexual adventures till tonight." He kissed his trembling wife on her lower abdomen and raised his head to kiss her gently on her blood-red lips. He clung to her body and non-verbally activated the water stream of their rain-forest shower.

The feeling of her sweet lips pressed against his narrow ones, her slippery breasts pressed against his muscular chests and her hands roaming down his broad shoulders nearly let him forget about his promise to restrain from sex now, but he managed to gain control over his distracted mind by imaging Albus Dumbledore stumbling in pink, star-embedded boxershorts through the Great Hall. Severus directed the streams of his shower with a nifty non-verbal spell to wash Olivia's body and hair gently and rubbed her shampoo out of her smooth honey-blond curls. He nipped at her bottom lip gently, groaned due to the pleasure of feeling her gentle hands and the fresh water running down his spine and deepened their kisses. He could sense that she longed to touch his body and lather him with his body wash and shampoo, thus he pulled regretfully back from their mind-boggling kisses, turned the water stream off and accioed his body wash and shampoo. He handed them to his sensual wife with a sly grin and husked into her curls, "I can see in your eyes that you long to soap my body and massage my hair, Liv. You will undoubtedly pay me back for my affectionate caresses to your aroused vagina mere minutes ago. But please keep in mind that I need to up my game in the kitchen in some minutes. So, regretfully, no funny business is allowed, my sexy vixen."

Olivia smirked at him, bit her bottom lip sexily and whispered into his ear, "I promise to not neglect any part of your glorious body or lovely hair. I love every fiber of your body and I want to give your dark locks the best head massage of your life, my love. Although I must confess that I'm hungry and would probably not survive a passionate shag in the shower right now, I love to tease you. And you're sure as hell gonna get some payback for your cruel teasing." She winked at him, scoped something of his herbal shampoo – a unique blend of peppermint, lavender, and tea tree oil – into her hands, untangled herself from her husbands hunched body, stepped up from her shower bench and stretched herself on her tip-toes to reach her standing husband's beautiful dark locks. She urged him to bend his head slightly and look her straight in her honey-brown eyes because she loved to see his reactions to her ministrations displayed in his stunning onyx eyes. They looked like the dark night sky, but whenever Severus enjoyed something immensely or felt comfortable in his skin, dark-blue specks started to appear in a halo around his obsidian irises. Olivia massaged his shampoo gently into his wet locks. She kissed him lightly on the tip of his nose and smiled blissfully at his relaxed expression.

"Merlin, I really love this man from the bottom of my heart. I live to see him happy, carefree and enjoy himself. Sometimes, I can't believe how strong he is. He has risen like a phoenix from the ashes of his abusive childhood, teenaged bullying, and love-starved adolescence. I'm so proud and happy to call him my soulmate and can't wait to spend my happily ever after with him and our future children. I know that Severus is afraid of messing them up, but I tell him every time when the topic 'children' comes up that he is going to be an amazing dad. He is fiercely loyal, protective and caring. On top of that, he has the unique gift to love someone unconditionally and help someone nurture their talents and inspire their minds. I know that our children will love his bedtime stories because his entertaining tales in his smooth, velvet voice make everyone hang on his lips, and chase with him through forests to collect potion ingredients because his enthusiasm for potions and love for nature is infectious. I can't wait to see a little girl with blond curls and onyx eyes taking a piggy-back ride on his strong shoulders and an adorable little boy with coal-black hair and honey-brown eyes telling him animated tales of his childhood adventures," Olivia smiled at her relaxed husband, rubbed his shampoo into his scalp with slow, circling motions and sighed into his ear.

"I love that you can let yourself go in my company, Severus. I long to see your facial features relaxed in bliss or pleasure because I know how difficult it is for you to let your Occlumency shields down, trust other humans and live in the moment. It makes me feel special and loved to see that you trust me unconditionally and be the real you when we are together without any masks. Although I must confess that I can't take my eyes from your muscular shoulders and rock-hard abs – the swimming exercises at the Merlin Institut in New York and your running in the Central Park are really paying off – you have to realize that would love you to the moon and back if you had a beer belly or skinny frame. I have fallen in love with your skinny, self-destructive teenage self because I love your gentle soul, genius mind, and kind heart. You love me for my true self and always support me in every part of my life. You are my best friend, one true love and soulmate. Thus, I hope that you are prepared to be stuck with me for eternity, my love." She uttered in an emotional tone, put her hands around his head and kissed him passionately on the lips.

Severus returned her kisses with vigor, put his hands gently around her waist and husked between kisses into her ear with midnight-blue specks dancing in his eyes, "I will always love you, Liv. You are my lifeline, my light in times of darkness and my joy in times of dealing with utter dunderheads. You know that I love you unconditionally, and although I can't get enough of your sexy curves and smooth skin, you realize that I will worship every new curve and cellulite mark on your body. I love you for your pure heart, fierce friendship, and sunny personality. Merlin, I can't even list all the things I love about you without turning into a love-crazy, besotted fool. And you know how much I normally despise emotional fools. And damn, you really give the most erotic and amazing head-massages, my love." He breathed in her flowery scent and embraced her tightly. Olivia sighed into his caresses, smiled brightly at him and uttered in a playful voice, "Well, I live to make your dreams come true. And I know how much you enjoy my massages and I enjoy to witness your expressive responses. Thus, I can't wait to soap your glorious body with your body wash." She winked at him, put a generous amount of his unique body wash – a self-created mix of sandalwood, mint, and coconut – into her hands and hunched down on her legs. She started to scrub his muscular, strong, with dark hair dusted legs, went up to soap his fit tighs with gentle circular motions which made him moan loudly and caressed his beautiful, semi-erect cock with soft strokes which made him throw back his head in bliss and grab her wet curls lightly to stop her.

"Liv, please stop your thorough soaping of my privates, you little minx. I know that you can't get enough of my glorious cock and believe me he also can't get enough of your touches, but I can't afford to stand behind the cooker with a hard-on. And we don't have time for the funny parts right now. I promise to make it up to you tonight," he mumbled between heavy breaths and tried to regain control over his sexual urges by counting potions ingredients inside his head. Thankfully, his wife only bit her bottom lip and stroked his cock with a devious smirk once, before she moved on to lather his rock-hard abs and fit torso with his body wash. She stepped onto her tip-toes, massaged the cold substance onto his arms and whispered into his ear, "Well, Severus, I can't help myself but worship your impressive cock. You are aware that I'm totally in love with him and I can't wait to feel him move inside me tonight. Merlin, I'm only glad that the silly, shallow witches at Hogwarts didn't know what mother nature blessed you with. I'm sure that they would have lusted after you like wanton nymphes if they had gotten a peek on your cock. I'm such a lucky woman to have you all to myself." She kissed him gently on his cheek, firmly kneaded the sud of his body wash into his shoulders and back and turned their rainforest shower on with a subtle raise of her wrist.

Olivia gently rinsed the shampoo from his dark locks, locked her honey-brown eyes with his obsidian ones and attacked his lips with passionate kisses while she enjoyed the warm water crashing down on their bodies. She took care to scrub the body wash from his body by directing the stream of their shower non-verbally and wandlessly to the right spots and admired the suds running down his unique body. She loved to chill on their bed and trace the scars on his body with gentle caresses for they told his life story and showed what a brave, brilliant and strong man her husband was. They were like a map of his life and although Severus had been ashamed of them the first time she had seen them on his skinny teenaged body and tried to hide the red, angry ones from her view, she had gained his love by kissing every single one of them and mumbling that they were a sign of his strength and courage. Naturally, she had been enraged and heartbroken for her boyfriend because nobody deserved to have a torso full of crisscrossed faded scars, red, badly-healed cigarette burn wounds, white curse scars, and ragged cuts and cursed his bastard of a father and the Marauders, but she hadn't pitied him. She knew that Severus would have bolted if he had detected the tiniest bit of pity or disgust in her eyes, thus, she had tried to show him with her soft kisses, gentle touches and encouraging words that he was a brilliant, strong survivor whose keen mind, gentle soul, kind heart and lean body attracted her. She was madly in love with him, the real Severus Prince, some cruel scars couldn't turn her away from him.

Sure, she had wanted to search for Tobias Snape and throw him in jail for domestic violence against his wife and son as well as hunt down the narcissistic, cruel and self-centered Marauders, give them a tongue-lashing and hex them into next week, but Severus had uttered in a teary voice that they weren't worth the trouble, would get their karma in the end and he loved her for being such an empathetic, protective and lovely girlfriend. They had snogged like mad after his love declaration, engaged in a heavy make-out session and slept in a tight embrace on a comfortable bed in the Room of Requirement. Olivia came back from her trip down memory lane, smiled at her love and turned off the shower with a turn of her wrist. She admired the water drops that were running down her handsome husband's abs, stepped on her tip-toes to wring out his dark locks and intertwined her fingers behind his neck.

She gazed him with her brown eyes full of love and wonder in his obsidian eyes, pecked him on the lips and exclaimed in a cheery tone, "Well, this shower was certainly relaxing and enjoyable, Mr. Snape. I wish that we could shower together every day because I love to soap your sexy body, massage your stunning dark locks and admire the water running down your torso. Thanks for always making me feel loved and desirable, my love." Severus embraced her waist tightly, gently put a stubborn honey-blond curl behind her right ear and smiled at her. "Damn, Liv. Remind me again to shower as often with you as possible. I certainly love to cover your lovely curves in soap foam, snog you like a love-crazy teenager and enjoy your teasing messages. You know that I will always love and desire you. You are my soulmate and I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together." He kissed her gently on her head and bend down to carry her bridle-style out of their shower.

He enjoyed hearing her delighted squeals and accioed two towels onto their bathroom counter. Severus softly placed Olivia back on the ground, enchanted the smaller towel to wrap itself around her head in a turban-like style and rubbed the bigger towel lightly on her wet body. After some minutes, he was satisfied with the dryness of her skin and wrapped the towel around his sighing wife. He smiled at her, admired her natural beauty and expressed in a cheeky voice, "I hope that you will choose to wear your sexy, skimpy black lace lingerie and your stunning, tight silver slip dress for dinner. It will be easier for me to tear these off your body later on." He accioed a towel for his hair, rubbed it dry and dried his body with a quick Drying-and Refreshing-Spell before he dressed with an easy Dressing-Charm in grey boxers, grey jeans, and a dark green shirt. He winked at his laughing wife and rushed out into the kitchen. He had to cook his ratatouille as fast as possible for his stunning wife after all.
