Just one month later, Olivia sat at her new desk on the third level of the Ministry of Magic headquarters . Minister Weasley told both of them that she was so pleased with the work they were doing for the Ministry, they'd both earned promotions. The best part is that the Minister was also appointing them new offices … right next to one another, with a connecting door. Lucius had a very large, very elegant office that befitted both his title and his position, she was so very proud of him. She wasn't left out either. Along with the new office came a raise in salary and, ah finally, a new flat. One that was nowhere near her creepy landlord who'd begun stalking her every movement. She'd see him outside the coffee shop she frequented, the bookstore she loved, and, once, she thought she'd seen him across the street from the Ministry building.
The final straw had come when, one night, he'd gained entry with his master key and took pictures of her while she'd slept. Putting down his camera, he then freed his dick from his trousers and worked himself into a powerful orgasm, his seed ejaculating all over her comforter and the photos. She woke up when she heard the door shut to find herself surrounded by photos of herself sleeping and the sweet scent of semen. Both disgusted and frightened to death, she'd stayed awake all night, wrapped in a threadbare blanket and jumping at every noise. When the dawn light finally brightened the windows, she broke down and fire-contacted Lucius. When he answered, she burst into tears and told him what had been happening. He immediately flooed over to take her back to the Mansion. A visit from Lucius seemed to have the proper effect of scaring the shit out of the would-be stalker and seemed to put all that nonsense to rest
At least they both thought so.
She spent the remaining week of her lease sleeping at Malfoy Manor while moving into her spacious new flat.
A huge yawn interrupted her musings. Lord, but she was tired. Her head kept drooping, eyes closed and nearly succumbing to the sand man. She had not had a decent night's sleep since starting this job. Her nights were filled with dreams…dreams of Lucius.
Erotic, sexy, mind-numbingly sensual dreams that had her brain short-circuiting each morning when she saw his face. Each day when just the timbre of his voice wound around every nerve in her body until it reached the heat between her thighs and she felt the fluttering of her wet channel in response. She tried to pretending that she hadn't spent all the previous night listening to it purr wildly pornographic things into her ear after he'd flipped her onto her stomach and, raising her hips, entered her slick silken core in one smooth thrust, causing her to cry out with immense pleasure. He wrapped her in one powerful arm, reaching down to use his fingers to stimulate her clit and to rub the skin stretched taut where they were joined. He wouldn't let her move her hips, even as she begged him, and used her internal muscles to squeeze his hard length, a siren's call to her mate.
Instead he chuckled darkly and used the power of loving, seductive words fueling the fire until...finally...his control broke, and he gave a mighty thrust and she came…so hard…around his hard length she could still hear his cry of fulfillment over her own.
"Olivia?" Suddenly, his roughened tone spoke next to her ear, and she jerked her head up, only to have her eyes immediately enslaved by his. He held out a hand. "Come into my office." She reached out and allowed him to pull up.
In a sleepy daze of desire...she was sure that she must have fallen asleep, and was deep in the throes of one of her intensely erotic dreams. Lucius picked her up with ease, and carried her into his office. As he put her down, he allowed her soft body to rub along the hard length of his, causing her to shiver in anticipation. After locking the door, he coaxed her over to sit on the bearskin rug before the fire. Rain spattered on the windows, and a chilly wind howled by, but in this room, warmth enfolded them. He turned her and threaded his fingers through her red-gold curls to cup her skull, drawing her face up to his for a bold, searching kiss.
"I seem to be having trouble sleeping since you've come to work for me. Tell me, why is that?" His tone was that of patented disbelief, and should've been insulting had she not felt the same way, and was completely mesmerized by his kisses.
"I … I … don't…" was all she could gasp before his mouth devoured hers in carnal delight and it was her last coherent thought for a long, long while. She came to only when she felt the softness of the bearskin on her bare back and his calloused palm caressing one plump breast with pleasure.
"By the gods, you are exquisite…" his voice was breathless and his eyes were caressing her and he was driving her mad with the light, teasing touches on her breasts. He was bending over to taste her relentlessly, her scent…like lavender and vanilla drove him wild.
"No …no, my lord … please!" She had to repeat her plea louder to get through the glaze of passion that filled him, but the panic in her eyes had him pausing.
He crooned to her, pulling her in for comfort. "My dear, I would not hurt you for anything; it is alright…" ruthlessly he tamped down his passion, realizing then that, even these days of casual sex, she may be a novice at lovemaking and he must have frightened her by moving too fast.
She remained in the circle of his arms for a while, enjoying the strength of his arms and the feeling of his fingers rubbing up and down her back. Condemning herself for being all kinds of a fool, she should stop this charade, but she needed this memory. He was her soul mate, the other half of her. If she lived to be a hundred, she knew she would never find another who would suit her as he did, and so, selfishly, perhaps, she lay within his embrace and pretended, just for a while yet, that he loved her in return.
Author's Note: Thank you all who've stopped by to read this fanfic. Truthfully, I love the characters of Lucius and Severus and have always thought they deserved happier endings. (yeah, I'm an HEA geek). Please, if you've just found the story, or are following it...take a second to review. It helps me feed those crazy plot bunnies!
