Hermione's P.O.V.

It was an early morning for us, just past four a.m. I'd probably only have an hour or two before the wedding brigade came in after us. I was still in a cocktail dress from last night, apparently I had passed out when coming to the room. I was pretty drunk, so I didn't really remember. Draco was there though, wearing only his boxers.

His smooth chest, tight and toned. He only had a few few hairs and they were right where I wanted them, a happy trail just below his belly button that went just to his boxers and vanished. I purred with delight.

I undressed myself, dismissing the idea of pajamas as they'd only be changed when we had to get ready anyways. I climbed into bed, and laid my head down on his chest. Draco stirred and awoke. He yawned, reached over to the night table and grabbed his watch and groaned.

"Hey" said his voice husky with sleep.

"Hey" I whispered

"What are you doing up?" he asked rubbing his hands on my shoulder first, and then lightly down my arm giving me the chills.

"I don't know why, just woke up I suppose." Draco nodded and kissed my shoulder and then down my arm. I moaned.

I swung my leg over him so I was completely on top, and I kissed him.
Draco moaned into the kiss, and met my lips with equal forced. Our tongues battled, and I felt myself flipped over so I was on bottom and he was on top now. Draco's fingers met my core for the first time, and I cried out.

"Are you okay, do you want to stop?" he asked concerned I shook my head fervently

"Ok god, keep going please it's been so long!" Draco grinned and kissed me hard. He sucked on my bottom lip hard, and I couldn't stop from crying out.

He found my sweet spot, and rubbed as I moaned and cried out. Draco cleared his voice "Hermione there's something you should know."

"Hmm? What, tell me" I demanded as he had continued flicking my clit, he stuck a finger in and then two. I cried out.

"Tonight, we're going to have to have sex in front of the wedding party." Draco explained and then growling "God, how are you this wet?"

I stopped dead in my tracks and sat up scooting away from him"What?"

"I'm sorry its a pureblood tradition to make sure we 'seal the deal' so to say."

"But Draco, It'll be our first time, don't you want it to be special?"

"Don't you?"

"Of course," Hermione replied breathily.

"Let's just see where this goes then. I know its not ideal, but at least its just you and me right?" He kissed down her abdomen, and then licked her lower abs, and then kissed her lips. She cried out as he licked. Moments later crying out as she flowed into orgasm, and woke up.

Hermione sat up in bed breathing hard, panting. Her hair was still curly, a bow headband wasn't doing its job anymore, and she blew some bangs out of her face. She was still in her cocktail dress, and her head pounded a little. She picked up Draco's watch: it was four am, she had a headache, and was very horny.

She laid down on Draco's chest and sighed. She wanted him bad. Really bad. He was sound asleep, snoring lightly and she cursed. Hermione wanted to wake him up and have her way with him but they weren't going to get very much sleep today. And they'd be up quite late tonight she she thought it was best to let him sleep. Her muscles were quite sore from all the standing, especially in those heels.

Hermione got out of bed standing on the ground, she cried out in pain "Merde"

Draco sat upright very fast.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" He asked

"I'm sorry go back to bed. I didn't mean to wake you." he reached out and held her hand, tugging gentle a gesture for her to come back to bad, she tugged back. She didn't want to sleep she wanted to bathe, and relief on many levels "I'm just really sore. My legs, feet, and back are killing me so I was going to take a bath you can go back to bed." She said quietly, as much as she wanted him to join her, Hermione was still quite shy around him, she felt she owed him so much after all he's done for her.

"I'll carry you, I'm up already right?" Draco said getting up, he walked over to her and scooped up his future wife.

As he carried her he quickly muttered a quick spell, and when they got to the bathroom it was lit with candles, the bath was ready and flowing with bubbles, the air smelled like jasmine and sandlewood. He set Hermione down, and she pulled him into a deep kiss. She pulled at his boxers, beckoning him to join her.

He pulled away from the kiss "What are you doing Mrs. Malfoy?" he asked her

"Getting closer to my future husband? I just really want you, is that so wrong?" He walked out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom

"That would be the alcohol talking missy, you'll get plenty of Draco later."

Well that didn't work, plan number two? "Draco Malfoy! Look at you, you're filthy! Discusting you smell of...booze and cigars. You need a bath.."

"Then I'll cast a spell, or use one of the guest bathrooms."

"They're all occupied. So how about you just join me, and I can swear I'll be on some of my best behavior."

"Hermione, what's going on? I thought you wanted to take it slow."

Hermione put up one finger leaving the bathroom, walking back in nude. Her hair was still sexily messy, she leaned against the door frame.

"I never said that, you just decided it. Besides Draco Malfoy, are you really going to deny a naked woman who is begging for you." Draco walked farther out of the bathroom.

"Yes"

Plan three? Think what have you read any spell that would help, or...Hermione growled "Draco, I know."

"You know what?"

Hermione took a deep breath "I know what we have to do in front of the wedding party after the party, as a way of making sure we seal the deal...I read about it" She lied, she didn't know. That dream had been her first clue but it made all too much sense. And as much as she hated to admit it, they were practically royalty it would only make sense.

"We don't have to," Draco stopped, he came back to her, and looked at her with sorry eyes "I was going to think of something. I mean it wouldn't be necessary if they think we've already had sex, so we would have already consummated the marriage."

Hermione sulked back into the bathroom, and got in. She exhaled. Oh my god. Oh my god, our first time is going to be in front of all the death eaters, in front of people who have physically just abused me and have verbally and mentally hurt me for years, and I have to consummate my in front of them. She held her breath, and looked really spooked. A house elf appeared with cup of chamomile tea, and handed it to Hermione "Poppy thinks mistress looked upset."

Hermione exhaled nodding, "Thank you Poppy." She couldn't help it but she felt her eyes begin to well up. Her breath sped up as an impending panic attack began. After five breaths she held her breath trying to calm down.

"Mistress, you is getting married today. Try and smile, Master Draco is a good boy. Master Draco will never hit you, and he'll buy you pretty shoes and jewelery." Hermione nodded again and the house elf disappeared.

Hermione exhaled feeling calmer already, ignoring the tea she called out "Draco..."

"Yes..."

"Come take a bath please. They know we haven't, they asked me earlier when they kept filling my champagne glass."

Draco sighed, and walked over slowly. When he came into the bathroom he too was naked. "I don't want to get too carried away, I mean you're weak and I..."

"Draco Malfoy, are you going to make me beg? Get in the tub!"

"Lord woman! I'm getting in, I just thought I should warn you...we never talked about all this and I was worried for your sake."

"Draco, this is not my first time taking a bath with another man, or many other things for that matter. I trust you, and I want you while we are in private quarters not surrounded by everyone else. Can you please just stop fussing? Normally I appreciate it, but right now you're making me feel like a baby, and I don't feel very romantic..."

"Well we don't want that now do we?" Draco remarked sitting down in the bath. He groaned as the hot water caressed his skin.

"This was a good plan Mrs. Malfoy" he said sitting on one of the benches built into the bath.

Hermione nodded got on top straddling him. At first he began to argue but she put a finger to his lips as if to say "shh" and he stopped. Hermione laid her head on his chest, and relaxed. She took a deep breath, and cuddled him. She nuzzled his neck and peppered his collar bone with kisses.

He hugged her tight, and kissed her shoulders lightly. It was just such a sweet gesture that she teared up a little. They were going to make love, and that made her smile and feel like a pubescent teenager and she loved it. She began to kiss him tenderly. He waited until the kiss had escalated to a higher level and then pulled away suddenly saying "finite incantatem" pointing his wand at Hermione, dropping her from his embrace, she was surprised at the fast change and fell out of his lap.

"Draco! What the hell?" Hermione yelled angrily splashing him.

"So you want to kiss me now?" He asked smugly

"Well not right at this second when you're being an idiot. Why did you do that?" Hermione turned away from him, pouting. She was mad about the way he was acting tonight. First refusing her, and then leading her on before dumping her advances.

"Because, you were clearly under some sort of spell. The Hermione I know wouldn't act like that. She and I are still trying to get better acquainted, I'm sure your mother put you up to this and I apologize that woman really won't stop..." God that was hard, she was all sexy and her spelled self really seemed to be enjoying everything. I hope I get a chance to witness that side of her again as we progress she just seemed so happy.

"Draco, there was no spell. I had a sexy dream about us and I was in the mood. You know, well I guess you probably don't, but when I was with Harry we did have sex. When we were closer we actually had a good amount of it too. But things had been bad with us for almost eight months now if we had still been together. I missed being close with someone. I like cuddling-"

"Darling you know we can cuddle right? We don't have to have sex , I don't think we're ready." Draco chided

"Ugh. Draco, I enjoy having sex, and I like you. You've been absolutely flawless since I've been here, and I have feelings for you. And I, ugh!" She stormed out of the bath, and threw on a large towel like a blanket around her shoulders. She went back into the bed, and faced away from his spot. Hermione didn't know why but her hormones were going batty, she felt herself begin to cry silently.

Her curls wet, some sticking to her damp skin. Draco stayed in the bathroom for a minute, cleaning up from the earlier festivities.

Draco climbed back into bed still nude he edged up to his mate and kissed her shoulders, and then continued his path and kissed up her neck. Goosebumps emerged, he knew she liked it. He smiled and continued on up to her ear lobes.

"I'm sleeping." Her voice cracked and she pulled the large blanket like towel she was curled up in over her head.

Draco removed the towel and smiled sadly, the woman he loved was crying. He tried to kiss away those tears,

"Why are you crying love?"

"I was just getting very excited, finally getting to be with you and then being outright denied, it hurt my feelings. I thought you understood, I thought you realized my actions were my own we just talked about it. I wasn't expecting it, and I don't know why but my emotions are a little crazy right now. But I love you Draco. At least I feel like I'm starting to really care for you and have feelings. So I guess wanting to show you my feelings and then being denied really hurt."

Draco kissed her tears away, he put her arm around his neck and then carried her out of bed, softly padding across the room into the bathroom. He silently said a spell and the room was very softly lit with candlelight.

He moved them back into the bath, candles lit, bath warmed, bubbles flowing.

"I'm sorry you felt like I was denying you. Can we start over? I very much liked the position you were in before." She looked back up at him, gazing into those silver eyes she's always had a thing for and wanted to but couldn't make herself nod, and found herself doing the opposite.

Draco felt his heart break. He'd really hurt her. In his head he contemplated how much had changed, he would have never cared this much about a woman back at Hogwarts. He liked girls, he slept and dated girls back then, but he didn't really love a girl.

It hadn't been that long, but he felt himself sad that he had hurt Hermione. Maybe it was from nursing her back to health, or maybe it was getting to know each other slowly but realized then how much he loved her.

Hermione's mind was racing, she didn't know what to do. She could feel his sadness as though it were radiating out of his pores. She felt bad for turning him down, but at the same time she herself felt badly because he had hurt her feelings. She relaxed a bit, and let her head lay on his chest facing him.

It was kind of sweet really, he was only looking out for her. Her parents had been really on her case about having babies, and so it really would make sense for them to put an imperius on her to try and get with him.

He kissed her forehead and hugged her tighter. She felt a sense of tightness in her chest as if her heart quivered at the gesture.

She got into his lap again facing him as she had the first time, and kissed his neck lightly. Draco moaned appreciative that she had consented, he really had hoped she'd forgive him.

They held each other for a couple of minutes, whispering soft bits of admiration. Draco scooted off the bench, and onto a lower one so they were up to their collar bones instead of waists.

"May I wash you?" Draco asked and she agreed quietly.

He used his wand like a faucet and wet her hair, and set his wand back on a dry shelf.

He squirted the shampoo onto his hands and began to rub it into her scalp. Hermione silently wet her hands over and then wet his hair with them repeating the process until it was enough for her to do the same. They massaged the cleaning solution onto their partner's head. She paused and closed her eyes, just feeling.

The smell of the shampoo: coconut and shea butter wrapped around her senses and she was savoring every second of it. She took his wand and rinsed his hair, he did the same. He took some conditioner and worked it into her locks, playing with her hair a little.

She kissed his nose, and laid her head on his mid-chest so he could continue his work. Finished with her hair he grabbed the sponge and began to wash her body, she couldn't take it anymore. She got up slightly and knelt on either side of him and kissed him passionately, her arms on either side pinning him down. He threw the sponge and kissed back with equal fervor.

He grabbed his wand and got out of the bathing pool. She followed him draping herself in the large towel again. Draco kissed her hard as she towel dried her hair. He walked her backwards to the bed. Stealing kisses as she finished drying her mane as much as she could. The back of her knees hit the baseboard first. Draco lifted her a little and threw her on the bed, not too hard.

He leaped onto Hermione, straddling her. He kissed her collar bone first remembering not to suck to hard, hickeys weren't fashionable ever but especially not on a wedding day would be an appropriate reason. But the real one was that knowing how Hermione was he figured she probably wouldn't appreciate lip shaped bruises with her shoulders so clearly in view.

He licked up her neck, and in the curve of her ear licking and sucking softly. The sound and feel of it driving her crazy. He peppered her jawline with kisses as he went back to her lips, wanting to make out with her again, savoring her lips and tongue all over again.

This time he toyed with her breasts. They were large for her being such a small girl, at least a C perhaps a D, he'd ask her later. He moved down deciding he had to taste them too, finding her perky nipples he mentally thanked Italian genetics for her petite curviness.

As he sucked her breasts Hermione moaned, she squirmed underneath him. It was like sensory overload, had it really been that long? Was she really that depraved? Whatever you wanted to call it she was dripping with pleasure.

"On your knees" Draco growled and she obeyed going to her hands and knees her ass facing Draco. He groaned, kneading her cheeks still impressed with her curves. Not thinking he smacked her ass, he sat up alert as he heard a groan thinking that he hurt her until she said "More"

Draco looked incredulously at her ass and repeated his ministrations loving to watch as her flesh jiggled softly, the sound was sharp and to the point, he liked it. Dipping a little further he felt how wet she was.

He felt it drip down her thigh stopping at the crease of her bent knee. He groaned at her eagerness, and licked up her leg cleaning her up, Hermione moaning the whole time.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Malfoy, I seemed to have neglected a very important part of your anatomy. Would you let me kiss it and make it up to you?" He asked looking into her eyes, her eyes widened a little. Harry would never do that, said it was dirty when she begged him. She could hardly believe her luck she couldn't help it, she just moaned "Please?"

Draco smirked very pleased with her response. His tongue began drawing small figure eights not quite touching the clit, and making Hermione squirm in annoyance as he deliberately was teasing her. Only every so often would she get a flick of the tongue as he would then continue licking anything else but the spot she longed for. She'd groan and he'd smirk against her lips.

"Please Draco, more please" He smirked again at the desperation in her voice, and obliged his bride in the sensations she so longed for.

He pressed his whole mouth to her core, he sucked hard on it. Then would flick his tongue slower first, but then faster. She began moaning louder and more frenzied, he could feel she wanted to come so badly.

He stopped immediately, shifting his position to be lying next to her. She breathing frenzied, her body moist all over. He leaned over her with one eyebrow cocked, and she grabbed his head pulling him into an excited kiss. A swirl of tongues, the sucking on his bottom lip, then biting it oh so softly before joining his tongue again.

She stopped, and began kissing down his chest. He told her she didn't have to, that if that was too much that she could stop and they could wait. It wasn't too much. She came face to face with his member, and felt bizarre for looking at it and thinking it was beautiful.

Hermione kissed the tip softly and slowly, and then dove in and took in his cock all at once. Draco moaned loudly, he hadn't been expecting that from her.

Licking and sucking, swirling and lapping she gave him her all. Draco though going crazy with pleasure began rubbing her clit. Hermione moaned into his manhood, the vibrations nearly making him lose it.

Draco moved away from her, and when she looked at him with a question mark on her face he told her they were moving a bit fast and that he wanted to focus on her a bit more. He scooted downward and began licking her pussy again, savoring the taste and enjoying making her squirm with pleasure.

Her moaning intensified and he could tell she was getting close. He moved, scooting upwards he went to mount her, she stopping him saying she really wanted to ride him and he obliged her.

It took mere seconds for her to come, as waves flowed through her she continued on. Hot and flushed she cried out, groaning feeling it build up again she panted and went harder than the first time. Really riding him, she cried out even harder she slowed down bracing herself as her orgasm kept flowing she exhaled and moaned in splendor.

Draco couldn't take it he cupped the back of her head and said "May I turn..?" and she nodded breathless from the stream of pleasure that wouldn't stop.

Draco flipped her over, pumping in and out hard, she began to come again he pussy clamping around his member even harder than the first time and he couldn't bear it he sped up and groaned his warning that he was getting closer. She wrapped her legs around him, and put her arms around his neck as they both rode out their passion. He came inside her, and rolled to the side she followed by lying on his chest.

They laid there for a while not saying anything, she was getting close to falling asleep when she kissed his chest and whispered "Thank you".

Draco looked down at her and smiled "My pleasure" he said kissing the top of her head.

They had only slept for an hour before a crowd came. First cheering from behind the door trying to wake them, then barging in and pulling them out of bed and each other's embrace.

"Come on time to wake up, you kept us up all night with your non-stop moaning and panting, now it's time to get ready" Helena remarked

"Wait, you heard us?" Hermione asked quickly shocked

"Honey the whole house heard you. Silencing spells are first year knowledge, I mean I know you were raised muggle and all but..."

Hermione swatted her "Not because of my upbringing, isn't that the man's job anyways? Not my fault you raised a gnargle Narcissa." Draco's mother chuckled at the playful jibe.

And so they were up and ready to begin the long day ahead of them the men with brooms and quidditch supplies to play one last game among the men, the women casting an array of spells to prepare Hermione for the big day.

They saw each other one last time, and made eye contact smiling at each other. They mouthed their good byes and were carried off in very different directions Hermione groaning as her eyebrows were magically plucked.
