AN: I noticed that the first two chapters had a lot of mistakes, so I edited them. I have also added a few words that I have missed in the original story plot. Please bear with me. The Microsoft I was using wore off on me and I can't update it as of yet. I will work on it, in the meantime if you see any mistakes you can't live with, point them out, please, it would be greatly appreciated :D

Painful Pleasure

The next time Harry opened his eyes it was too darkness. He knew someone was in the room with him by the soft breathing and the slow rustling of parchment next to him, but he was too comfortable to open his eyes. His head hurt a lot and if he were honest with himself, he would admit that everything hurt, not just his head. He kept his eyes closed, willing sleep to come back and claim him, but when it became apparent after 10 minutes that he would not fall back to sleep, he groaned and wiped a hand down his face. It came up again to rub at his left temple, and the figure in the room started. Harry's body tensed. Severus got to his feet and peered over at Harry, who suddenly thought it a good idea to feign sleep.

"Potter," Severus snapped, "I know you are awake. Why, prey tell, are you pretending to be asleep?"

Reflexively, and not for the first time, Harry's body relaxed. His eyes cracked open a fraction to seek out obsidian. Green eyes brightened a bit when he found them.

"Oh Severus, "He sighed and said man noticed the relief in his voice, "I had a horrid dream that became frightening."

Severus arched an eyebrow, and Harry took that as a signal to continue.

"I had a dream that you didn't know we had married and that you and the ferret were dating. I tried to explain to you that we were married and that I loved you but you told me in so many words to piss off. And then I dreamed that Nagani had gotten to you before I could. I dreamed that I left you in the Shrinking Shack and when I came back you were barely breathing and I was worried that you would die and..."

"That actually happened Potter."

Startled by the use of his surname, Harry looked into black eyes to see anger and a bit of confusion, and the relaxed look that he had vanished in an instant. It was replaced with dread and panic. Severus watched as Harry went from enthusiastic to crestfallen. He could see the war of emotion battling in his eyes as he realized what was going on, though Severus could not make out a single one.

"Why are you here," He asked abruptly "Why are you not with Dray-um I suppose I should call him Malfoy now?"

"I am not with Draco," Severus emphasized, "because some Gryffindor decided to scream for me and would not settle if not by my touch!"

Harry looked shocked before realization dawned on him.

"I'm sorry. I have a lot of nightmares. I haven't had a dream that bad in years, but it seems that the look in your eyes when you left triggered it."

Severus frowned, trying to remember a specific look, but curiosity got the better of him.

"What do you usually dream about that makes you scream so... throatily?"

"The war," Harry answered simply.

Severus' look made Harry continue.

"I sometimes dream that I wasn't in time to save you. That you bleed to death before I can get to you. Last night, I dreamed that I was chasing you. But no matter how much I ran I couldn't catch you. I tried screaming for you to stop, I tried sticking your feet to the floor so that you couldn't move, but you just kept running. You never looked back at me. Never once acknowledged that I was behind you. You just kept running and for a moment that felt like an eternity, I lost you. When I found you again you were covered in blood and gasping for breath and..."

Severus unconsciously placed a hand on Harry's shoulder, noting that the shaking stopped and he seemed to be breathing a little better. Harry looked up at him, his deep emerald orbs pooling with pain, that Severus didn't recognize of course.

"Thank you for sitting with me. I know I must have been..." Harry trailed off searching for a proper word.

"Ghastly," Severus supplied.

Harry blushed lightly, averting his eyes.

"Ghastly," he conceded with a nod of his head.

"I'll say," a voice said from the door way and two heads turned to see Draco standing in the doorway scowling at them.

"Potter," Draco greeted, his words dripping like venom.

Harry only looked surprised for a moment before he spat, "Malfoy," in a voice with equally as much venom.

Draco smirked at still being able to get a rise out of Harry and decided to see if he could rile Potter up. With a sway born of arrogance, Draco sauntered toward Severus, pleased to see the lust creep into his eyes and noticed that Severus' eyes never moved from those hips that were tentatively swaying back and forth as Draco walked. When Draco was close enough, he was glad to hear the growl that tore from Severus' mouth and was pleasantly surprised to be pulled, rather roughly, into Severus' arms and kissed breathless.

He could hear the bed sheet rustle behind him but didn't actually care at the effect that this kiss was having on Harry at that moment. Severus made him forget that he had a higher brain function as he kissed the breath away from him, growling lowly all the while. Poppy's office door opening had them jumping apart, but neither pulled away from the other as Severus deep obsidian eyes bore into Draco's pale gray.

"Severus," Poppy not looking up from the parchment in her hand, "I shall wake Potter up and then you can leave. I'm sure you are a tad sore so take a potion before doing any strenuous activity or you will probably regret it. Oh..."

She had looked up from her papers to see that Draco and Severus were nearly devouring each other with their eyes, and Harry looked as though he didn't want to look, but his body clearly said that he wanted to cry, or simply scuttle away, as he peeked at the couple through his lashes like a naughty child sneaking a glance at his parents kissing. Poppy was ready to scold Severus for his lack of considerations in this delicate situation before Severus all but growled out.

"I believe that it is time to go. I shall be collecting on your debt to me once you get out of here Potter."

Harry's eyes widened in surprise but he nodded anyway and watched as Severus all but dragged a smirking, and all but beaming, Draco out of the hospital wing.

"I am sorry dear, Severus does not seem the type to understand a fragile situation."

"It's all right," Harry tried to say but it came out barely above a whisper.

Poppy knew that it was not. She watched though as sad eyes slowly morphed into fire as spirit came back to them.

Harry would make Severus see how much Harry meant to him, even if it meant competing with Draco Malfoy. He smirked as Madam Pomfrey handed him a potion.

'Let the game begin!"

Severus laid Draco out on the couch when they got back from the infirmary. He was not letting Draco up, not even to speak and Draco was growing a bit frustrated. Not only did he want to lay into Severus for spending all night with Potter, he also starting to feel the effects of Severus' lips at the base of his neck and it was frustrating him, in more than one way.

"Severus," Draco voice came out breathless and needy.

Severus hummed his reply, sucking a piece of creamy skin into his mouth to nibble on.

"I love you."

Severus snorted before slowly unbuttoning Draco shirt and pushing it down his shoulders. Draco assisted him by pulling his arms out of his sleeves and Severus bent to lick a path to a pert nipple before drawing it in. Draco moaned, slightly offended that his endearment was not returned, but when a cool hand slipped into his trousers and a warm tongue dipped into his belly button, all thought fled and he uttered a guttural moan.

Severus chuckled cockily, using wandless wordless magic to vanish Draco's offensive trousers before nipping at his newly exposed erection. Draco thrust forward, trying to gain friction on his aching member but Severus held him still as he engulfed Draco's cock in one swift movement. Draco grunted and came hard with the suddenness of it and sagged a bit when he came down from his high.

Severus chuckled a little bit, preparing Draco for entrance. Draco never noticed as two slicked fingers entered him and quickly found that spot that made him see stars swiftly. Severus laughed, lowly and deeply all the while looking into Draco's eyes and smirking cockily when grey finally met obsidian.

"Now I am going to fuck you," Severus said causing a fine shiver to work its way up Draco's spine before he found himself full of Severus.

As Severus pounded them both into oblivion all Draco could think of was his plan. The first part of it was a success and he had no doubt that the next part would be as well because he was Draco Malfoy, Slytherin prince extraordinaire. He had no idea where that last part had come from and blamed it on the man currently pounding him to oblivion.

To be continued

AN: Truthfully, I hadn't expected this to go so well. I plan on making a few changes, probably nothing noticeable, but I thought I would give you fare warning, not to mention something for this week. The next chapter will be up next Wednesday and revision of this chapter will probably happen before that, so if you want to wait to read that's fine :D. Again if this doesn't get a lot of hits I'll be discontinuing. I'm sorry that I have not gotten to review replies but I will try sometime in the week to come. I am eternally grateful for all of your nice comments and anticipation, and I hope to see most if not all of you wonderful readers in the chapters to come :D Hope you all enjoyed the chapter.

Until next week =)
