"Um Draco?"
"You don't like that?" He pulled away.
On the contrary, she liked it too much. That simple kiss had ignited something deep within her. A fire she had never known before. At once she felt an alarm go off in her head. She needed to stop this thing before she lost control.
"Draco, um, here's the thing." she said, "I believe in being honest."
"I know. That's one of the things I like about you."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Draco. I know what your thinking."
"You do?"
"We should probably think this over carefully."
"We should?"
"We don't want to rush into anything"
"We don't?"
"I'm just getting used to being alone. I dont want to be tied down."
Draco smirked at the sexual innuendo she had missed, "Hermione?"
"Yeah?"
"Could you just shut up for a minute?"
Her mouth dropped open in surprise and Draco came in for the kill. Before she knew what he was doing he'd pulled her closer and slipped his tongue passed her gaping lips. The kiss deepened as he grasped her waist with his strong hands. His lips were gentle and persuasive. He wrapped his strong arms around her and brought her closer to him. Before she knew it her hands had slipped around his neck as she surrendered.
"Hermione?"
"Huh?" she was at a loss for words.
"I think we should move this somewhere more comfortable."
Draco kissed his way to one ear and nipped Hermione's earlobe gently, and she forgot what she had been about to say as she melted in his arms. "I dont think..."
"Finally!"
She knew it was too late as his warm lips crashed against hers again. A tidal wave of desire engulfed them both. He abandoned her mouth to bury his face between her throat and chest to breathe her in.
As he pressed his lips against her throat, Draco growled, "I have half a mind to sweep you up in my arms and carry you to your room."
Filled with a desire she had never known before, that's precisely what she let him do.
