A.N. Seeing as I'm suffering from insomnia and I'm not getting any response for this story, I think I'll just go ahead and post the last chapter. Thanks to those who are reading and I hope you join me for my next story.

Chapter 4

Draco sighed as he walked into his apartment early Monday morning. Suitcase in hand, he toed off his shoes and dropped the suitcase in the foyer. He was exhausted and all he needed right then was a nice long nap, preferably curled around his wife.

"Draco?" her voice came from the direction of their bedroom and he followed the trail of roses from the foyer, down the hallway, to the bedroom.

On the bed, wearing back lacy lingerie was Hermione Malfoy, nee Granger. He smiled ruefully at her position, kneeling on the bed, her hands on her hips, the matching silk robe falling off her slender shoulders and a smirk on her face.

"Hello beautiful," he greeted her as he walked to the bed loosening his tie.

"Hello handsome." Her hands came up to caress his chest and unbutton his dress shirt. "How was the business trip?"

"Long, and tiring. I couldn't wait to come home."

"I couldn't wait for you to come home," she said smiling sweetly. They leaned into each other, their lips meeting in the middle and their arms wrapping around each other. As he lay her down on the bed, Draco couldn't help but think he was getting the homecoming he deserved.

Draco's eyes snapped open. The shower in the adjoining bathroom was running and the space where Hermione had been was still warm. He rose mechanically, a blank mask on his face and disregarding his lack of clothing, and headed to his office.

Once there, he reached into the cabinet and pulled out an ax. He had been preparing for this moment for months and had bought and stored the ax in a place where Hermione never went. He took a test swing at the window in his office. It shattered with a resounding clang and he wandlessly vanished the broken glass. Draco exited his office and made the trek back to the bedroom with the ax.

But before he could go into the bathroom and satisfy his urge, the water stopped. Draco barely had time to store the ax under the bed before Hermione emerged in a towel, drying her hair with another towel.

NO! he silently screamed. This wasn't supposed to happen!

"Hey," she said looking around warily. "I thought I heard something."

He swallowed roughly, trying to think of a lie to explain his standing in the middle of the bedroom naked.

"Yes," he said in a trance. "I heard something too. I think we should call the police. Someone was trying to break in."

A.N. Yeah I know sucky ending but I tried to stay as close to the song as possible. Please review.
