Chapter Six

Alaina was still incensed the following morning as she walked toward Snape's rooms. First he hexes her, putting boils on her ass. She had finally calmed down, and the bastard had the guts to kiss her? Oh hell no. Alaina paused as inspiration struck. As soon as the Potter boy left, she was going to have some fun. Severus Snape wanted to kiss her? Well, he was going to want to do a hell of a lot more than that before she was done.

Snape opened the door to his rooms, smirking when he saw Mackenzie. He had cheated somewhat, and employed a bit of Legilimancy against the woman the previous night. After all, he was a Slytherin, and the woman wasn't aware. Severus had been a little stunned when he realized that although the American witch was furious with him, she was also attracted. He knew that it would be a while before she forgave him for hexing her with boils, but he pushed those thoughts aside as the two adults walked towards the small bed containing Harry Potter. The teenager looked considerably better as he adjusted his tie before standing up. Both adults were surprised as the boy extended his hand to them both. Alaina smiled at the boy before Snape led him to the hallway.

Alaina followed the two males out and returned to her rooms. She had been so rattled by what had happened last night that she had almost forgotten that she needed to go to Edinburgh. The weather was getting distinctly chilly, and Alaina decided that riding her bike wasn't exactly a brilliant idea. Instead, she reached into her bag and removed her other form of transportation—a specially modified black pickup. Alaina grabbed her purse and CD case before leaving her rooms and heading toward the Great Hall.

"Mackenzie!" Alaina turned to see Severus Snape rushing towards her. "Albus said that you were heading to Edinburgh today and asked me to pick up a few things." Alaina nodded, and Snape followed her outside. When she stopped in the driveway, Snape frowned.

"Mackenzie, we need to go out of the gates to apparate." Alaina shook her head as she quickly enlarged the truck. She grinned broadly when she saw the expression on Snape's face. "We're not apparating, we're driving. Well, I'm driving. You can either get in or stand there looking like a fool." Snape glared at her before gingerly sliding into the passenger side.

Alaina climbed into the driver's side, hiding her grin at her passenger's obvious discomfort. She quickly started the ignition, and as soon as they were out of the gates and away from the school, Alaina lit a cigarette and hit the power button on the radio. She carefully inserted a mixed CD she had burned and began singing along with Amy Lee. Singing was one talent that she did possess, and although she would never be able to do it for a living, she still enjoyed a variety of good music.

For his part, Severus was wondering what other secrets the odd American woman was hiding. This was one of the first times he had been out of the castle since June, when the Dark Lord had discovered his duplicity. His left forearm, where he bore the Dark Mark, was a thick mass of scar tissue, and if it hadn't been for Fawkes, he would have died. Snape knew that the Dark Lord had put a price on his head, but at the moment, he really didn't care.

Alaina and Severus arrived in Edinburgh, and much to his chagrin, Snape was stuck holding Albus's order of bloody lemon drops. He was surprised at two of Alaina's purchases though. She had bought several large tins of Walker's biscuits and a case of English breakfast tea. When he questioned her, she simply shrugged before giving him a wicked grin.

"I sleep in the nude, and rarely wear more than my pant…er…knickers in my rooms. I do not feel like having to call a house-elf every time I want a cup of tea and a cookie." Alaina turned to enter the next store, leaving Snape with that mental image.

Snape was still reeling when Alaina declared that she had nearly finished her shopping. The two stopped for lunch before getting back in Alaina's truck to return to Hogwarts, after stopping at a video store. She planned to purchase a few DVD's, and Charity had asked her to pick up a few war movies for the Muggle Studies classes. Alaina was still trying to hide her attraction to the man next to her. He wasn't conventionally handsome, she thought as she looked at him through her lashes, but there was something striking about him. She couldn't figure it out, but she was certain that she had seen him before.

Alaina walked into the comedy section, and found a section dedicated to Kevin Smith. Alaina picked up Dogma and her jaw dropped. THAT was why she thought she had seen Snape before. Alaina had a crush on Alan Rickman since her early teens when she first saw Die Hard and later when Robin Hood came out. Severus Snape could have passed for Rickman's twin. She grinned as a group of women passed, pointing and whispering at her bewildered colleague.

"Severus, take a look at this." He took the box from her and paled at the resemblance between himself and the muggle actor. Alaina smirked as the poor man rushed her out of the store and back to the truck.

It was nearly suppertime before the unlikely pair got back to Hogwarts. Severus rushed down to his quarters, nearly colliding with a stunned Minerva McGonagall. Alaina chuckled as she handed the older woman her requested purchases.

"Do I even want to know what happened, Alaina?" Minerva asked as Alaina shook her head.

"Have you ever heard the saying that everyone has a twin? Well, poor Severus saw his, in a manner of speaking." Alaina refused to go into further detail. As she stopped by her office, she was surprised to see Harry Potter standing there.

"Is there something you needed, Harry?" The boy turned towards her, a lopsided grin on his face. "Where are your friends?"

"Snogging in the common room, I think," he said with a shrug, accepting a piece of shortbread and cup of tea from her.

"Any reason that you aren't doing the same?" Green eyes clouded over, and Alaina saw the fatigue and world-weariness that was common in war veterans, not sixteen year old boys.

"Like it or not, I'm a bloody target, and I will not allow anyone else to die because of that. Ron and Hermione have been my friends since I was eleven, but I will not allow Voldemort any more ammunition. Maybe when the war is over." With those words, Harry Potter stood up and left her office. Seconds had passed before she sensed a presence nearby. Alaina smirked and shook her head.

"Was there something that you needed, Severus?" Alaina arched an eyebrow as her colleague entered her office and snagged a piece of shortbread, closing the door behind him. Alaina handed him a cup of tea, which he quickly drained. Alaina was starting to get a little perturbed when he set down his teacup.

"I don't believe we finished our discussion last night."

"I wasn't aware that we were having a discussion last night." Whatever else Alaina had intended to say was cut off. A tiny moan escaped her as she melted into his kiss. One of her hands was draped around his neck while the other was fisted into his hair. Breathing heavily, she pulled away from him.

"Severus, I don't like to play games. If you want this to go any further, then the floo to my quarters will be open between 9:30 and 10:00 tonight." With those words, Alaina left her office for dinner.

As soon as she finished her meal, Alaina walked back to her rooms. She decided that she wanted to do circuit training that evening, and removed the shrinking charm from her Bowflex. An hour or so later, she looked at the time, and decided that a bath would be in order. Alaina relaxed back into the tub, part of her wondering if Severus would actually show up. With a flick of her wand, a Bon Jovi cd began playing.

Alaina didn't have to wait much longer. She had just finished drying her hair when the fireplace turned green and Snape stepped out. Alaina was pleased that he had left his robes and coat behind. Snape stood there in a white shirt, black trousers and his dragon hide boots. He arched an eyebrow at the music in the background.

…so I save a prayer for when I need it most. To the Father, Son and Holy Ghost; and sign it from a sinner with no name. When I meet my maker, will He close the book on the hearts I broke and the lives I took…

Severus felt a slight kinship with the song. Alaina smiled softly at him.

"It's called Santa Fe, by one of my favorite bands." Alaina turned the volume down and looked at Severus. "Have you decided what you want from me, or are you planning to stand there all night?"

In three steps he was kissing her. One hand was tangled in her hair while the other cupped her breast. Alaina moaned as his lips trailed down her heck and collarbone. Something inside her flickered into life and steadily began to grow. Alaina's hands began to slide from Severus' neck and down to his chest. Her hands began to deftly undo his buttons as Severus began to kiss a line from her mouth, under her chin and down her neck. Alaina began to feel hot inside, like a flame was trying to grow into a raging fire that threatened to consume her.

Severus was still trying to grasp that Alaina was willingly coming to his bed. Even as his hands began tugging at her shirt to bring it above her head, he was in awe of the woman before him. As Alaina's shirt flew off to the side and his own was pulled from his shoulders, Severus felt how hot she was getting. "You're enjoying yourself I see..." he purred in her ear, feeling her shudder in his arms. He nipped at her earlobe and Alaina let a little mewling sound escape from her mouth.

Alaina didn't answer, instead she tugged the shirt from his arms and threw it to the floor and leaned in to taste his flesh, to make him feel as good as he was making her feel. "Severus, please...Don't stop..." she whispered breathlessly into his ear. Her hands began to fumble with the button of his trousers and Severus groaned as her hand brushed against his erection.
His hand moved to her bra covered mound and began to palpitate the flesh beneath his palm. With a sudden movement, Alaina was on the bed and Severus was above her, kissing her with a fire that had not been there a moment ago. His mouth left a burning trail that paused at the fleshy valley of her bosom and Severus released her sensitized mounds from their prison.

Alaina nearly giggled as Severus discarded her bra with a toss over his shoulder, only to have her mouth form an 'O' as his lips and tongue began to lavish attention on the pert nipple that was before him. Severus' other hand crept down to the hem of her jeans, toying with the button there until it finally popped free and he did the same with the zipper.

As he lavished its twin with the same amount of attention, he slowly slid Alaina's pants down. When they reached her ankles, Alaina kicked them off impatiently and pulled Severus back up to her. She kissed him rather soundly and practically tore his pants away in her haste to get him undressed. Her eyes widened, however, at the size of the bulge that tented his boxers. She steeled herself and parted the slit in his boxers to free his aching flesh and her mouth dropped in her surprise.

Severus wasn't huge, but he was definitely well endowed. He had to be at least close to eleven inches long and an inch and a quarter wide. Her curiosity plowing over her hesitancy, she reached out and fondled the thick shaft gently. Severus inhaled sharply as she wrapped her warm hand around his rod and his hips bucked forward a bit at the sensation. His eyes nearly went to the back of his head when her tongue laved against the flange experimentally. Noticing his reaction, Alaina became a bit bolder and wrapped her lips around the shaft and began to suckle him softly. She grinned inwardly as Severus gripped the headboard for support and he cursed and praised her at the same time. Severus stopped her quickly, and laid her flush against the bed.

"Please Alaina...I want this to be about your pleasure...Not mine..." He whispered against her lips. He kissed her and raised himself back up. Her blush crept all the way to her chest as he looked at her. Just as in his dream, her breasts were perky and just the right size where they nestled into his palm. His hands traveled like a whisper over her smooth belly and his fingers hooked into her underwear. As Severus drew them away from her, he was able to smell her arousal. It was clean and musky, just the way a woman should smell. As a last minute thought, Severus summoned his wand and cast a contraceptive charm on her. His eyes traveled her body one more time and Severus kissed his way down her body, following the trail his eyes had.

When he reached her mound, Severus locked his eyes with Alaina and his tongue darted out and stroked along her slit and over her sensitive nub. She bucked upward for a second and a slew of obscenities rushed from her lips as Severus held her down.

Alaina felt the world losing focus as Severus continued to send her into the heavens, the coil in her belly tightening more and more. Her praises fell to his ears and her hands tangled into the sheets beside her. All Alaina knew was the rapturous feeling that Severus was bestowing upon her and that he was the one doing this.

Without a warning, Severus flicked his thumb over her nub repeatedly and sent her crashing into the waves of orgasm that followed. Her shriek of ecstasy brought a smile to his face and he lapped up every drop he could. Severus kissed his way back up her body and then captured her lips in his own, allowing Alaina to taste herself on his lips.

Alaina kissed Severus back with all the passion that he was bestowing on her. She sat up and removed his boxers, her hands touching him again and fondling his erect manhood. "What if I want this to be about your pleasure as well?" she whispered against his lips as her hand stroked him gently.

Severus was taken by surprise when she took him into her mouth again and began to suckle his flesh in earnest this time. He was shocked by the amount of passion she displayed in the bedroom, and he hadn't even touched her with his cock yet. If this was how it would be with Alaina Mackenzie...He wasn't sure he was about to let her go any time soon. He knew that she was supposed to return to America after the year ended, but Severus wasn't sure he could watch her walk away. Severus felt the beginnings of his orgasm building and felt an electric shock that ran from the base of his spine up his cock. He pulled Alaina off of him as he spent his load on her chest and fell back for a moment; drained from the pleasure she had bestowed him with.

"You definitely know what a man likes, don't you?" he panted huskily after a few moments. She smiled at him with an impish grin and traced a path up his inner thigh to his manhood. Her simple touch elicited a reaction and he began to grow hard once again.

"I don't know what your first clue was, but I do believe I am enjoying this event thus far..." she said sexily. She crawled up to him and kissed him, allowing his passion to spill over to her. Her skin felt as if it was ablaze, even after everything that had happened and she let him guide her back down to the bed.

Severus gently parted her folds and found her to still be wet as she had been earlier. He stuck a finger in to the middle knuckle and hissed at how tight she was. Gently stroking her, mimicking the act with his finger, he waited until his finger slid in smoothly before adding a second. With a quick thrust, he sheathed himself inside her and he heard Alaina cry out.

Severus allowed her time to adjust to his size and he nuzzled her neck gently. Alaina nodded and looked at him. "Yes Severus..." she replied. She made to move up a bit, but it caused friction and her mouth went slack at the sensation. "Move...Please..."

Severus grinned and drew away a little and thrust back into her.
Her tightness was putting pressure on his swollen rod and he felt as if he were being drawn in by a magnet. He could hold out though...He felt he needed to give her the most mind shattering orgasm that he could while still being a gentle lover.

Alaina was matching Severus thrust for thrust, but at the same time, felt that he was going a little slow. "Severus...please..." she pleaded. She jammed her hips down, and she felt him tap her cervix. The action earned her a deep groan from the man above her and she moaned in delight at the sensation.

That was the cue that Severus needed. He plowed through her softness and hit bottom with every thrust, adjusting his stroke so that he could bring her to climax. Soon, he felt the familiar tightening around his shaft and Severus heard Alaina keen as she began to orgasm once more. The lightening like sensation raced down his spine and after a few more strokes and the milking sensation of her walls around him, Severus exploded with a groan into her.
Alaina lay beneath Severus, completely spent and very sated. "Damn…" she whispered. She felt Severus roll off of her and he collapsed on the bed beside her.

A/N: Here is the lemony goodness I promised. Had to mention the gorgeous Alan Rickman as well. I tried to stay with the Canon timeline somewhat. This is my longest chapter ever. Anyway, please tell me what you think. Oh and don't worry, Alaina and Sev will still be butting heads.
