Never mind sleep. There was no way in hell Harry would be able to sleep with Severus holding him the way he was. Somehow Harry ended up on his side with Severus spooning him. The warmth on his back was almost too much to handle. His heart fluttered in his chest. He longed to bolt from the room the more soft breath caressed the back of his neck, sending tendrils of pleasure riding along his nerve endings.
Harry wiped his forehead with the back of his arm. It was incredibly hot in the room. The heat was stifling, making it hard to breath. Harry squirmed against the iron clad hold Severus had on his waist. Strong wiry arms kept him in place. There was no way he'd be escaping tonight. He couldn't resign himself to the fact that he was trapped against the man he loved and couldn't do anything about it. His body was getting away from him the longer he was held by Severus. All the blood in his brain was being drawn away and pooling in certain nether regions that didn't need to be stimulated at the moment. Harry's body was sensitive to every little thing that happened with Severus. One breath, fluttering of eyelashes, anything sent his heart in search of the outside world.
I don't know how much longer I can stand this. Harry furiously tried to think of something to do to get him out of this situation before Severus woke. His Professor specifically told him to concentrate on studying for the following week. Curiosity was one of his downfalls though especially when it came to people he cared about. Harry was glad he came down to check on Severus, but he'd have to ask him about Bella. She had a certain something about her that was not like the rest of the House Elves Harry knew except for maybe Dobby.
Harry settled more heavily against Severus. I might not get another chance like this for a long time. Harry decided to try and enjoy being this close to Severus. Who knows when the next opportunity might present itself. He was still worried though.
I don't think he cares for surprises that much. And this was one huge surprise. Harry let his body relax, letting sleep claim him, his body still hyper sensitive to everything that was Severus.
A soft gasp puffed against his ear, waking him from a wonderful dream. Harry's heavy lids did their best to open, but it was so hard when he so comfortable and warm.
"Harry," the whisper made his blood sing with want. Gooseflesh danced across his skin as he snuggled closer the warmth that was secured against his back. He moved his arm, clutching at the one that was wrapped around his waist.
Arm around his waist. Wait a minute…Harry's brain pieced everything from the night together causing him to fall from the bed. Dark eyes looked down at him, wide with nothing but shock in their depths. Severus's eye lids drooped, hooding eyes darkening with lust. Harry gulped, wanting to pull covers to hide his body although he was fully clothed. Something in the way Severus stared at him had him in flight mode which was what he was about to do when long fingers wrapped around his wrist hauling him to his feet and back on the bed.
"Not so fast my little sneak," Severus growled. He pulled Harry flush against his body and Harry stayed limp. He was too stunned to make any sort of move. "Now why is it when I woke up this morning I found someone in my bed?" Severus breathed out. Lips close to Harry's. Close enough to feel every word almost pressed to his lips.
Harry licked his lips. They were so dry. He breathed through his mouth, trying to regain some balance. He was off kilter and falling to pieces. His brain was not able to compute the idea of being in bed with Severus. Awake. And in kissing distance. It was one thing when he was asleep, now he was lost in the depths of dark eyes that were undoing all his resolve to bolt to the door. Harry bit his bottom lips, chewing on it while he tried to get his brain to work again. Severus waited patiently, rubbing his nose against Harry's slowly, from side to side. The simple gesture was so strange and sweet. The light touching of noses brought them even closer together.
Harry somehow found words, but they came out low and rough. His throat was so dry and his tongue felt big and clumsy in his mouth. "Ah, you see last night you didn't come down to dinner and I was worried so I came to check on you. I met Bella and she wanted some help getting you to bed and then I tried to get off a layer or two of your robes, but then you grabbed me and pulled me down on you and when I tried to get Bella to help me she was gone." Harry knew he was babbling and he couldn't seem to stop the words once they started to come out. He closed his eyes waiting for Severus to explode, push him off the bed, and tell him to get out. No such thing happened.
"You were worried about me?" Severus asked. Harry opened one eye to make sure Severus wasn't pulling his leg. His brow was pulled down; his lips turn down in a deep frown, nostrils flaring.
Harry tilted his head to the side. "Yes, I was very worried about you. I know you wanted me to focus on the books that you gave me to read, but there was no way I could. Not without making sure you were okay." Harry looked down, red staining his cheeks. I can't believe I'm telling him this. He'll probably tell me to leave now.
A soft chuckle reached his ears. What? Harry glanced up to find Severus lightly laughing. Harry's heart squeezed at the sight. He reached out with his hand and caressed Severus's cheek. Harry wanted to stay in bed with him forever. There would be nothing on earth that could make him happier. Severus stopped laughing, his eyes filling with lust again. He leaned forward closing in on Harry's lips when a light pop filtered from the other room.
"Master Bella has breakfast for you and Mr. Harry Potter. Bella will bring it to you." Harry scrambled away from Severus, almost falling off the bed again, but Severus brought him closer.
"You're not going anywhere now that you're in my bed." Severus's look was predatory. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. Harry nodded not sure what to make of the statement while he waited for breakfast.
