Hermione shivered in anticipation for what would be happening. She knew he must have overheard the conversation they had at the burrow today. Her ever inquisitive mind caused her to wonder what he meant. Just as she meant to inquire, Severus placed a finger over her lips.

"I know you, my darling, and it is not in your nature to just let things happen. But please do me the courtesy of enjoying this experiment without question." The words floated over her cheek and into her ear, sending chills from her head down to her toes. She nodded in acquiescence.

"Good, my little Gryffindor. Now, I ask that you divest yourself of your clothing, and then I will lead you to the bed."

"Hermione, I want to try something. I want to see if I can bring you pleasure without ever touching you."

Hermione made to dispute, but again, Severus quieted her.

"I want to see if my voice can truly bring you to the heights of pleasure that my body normally can."

Damn it Severus, why do you have to be so bloody sensual and arrogant? The restrained witch wondered to herself.

Hermione felt the bed dip as Severus climbed onto it.

Before he spoke a word, she could feel his warm breath on the plains of her stomach.

"Hermione my love," he started in his most sensual, baritone voice…
