The first few days of break passed without event and before I knew it, it was Christmas Eve. I looked around the rooms in Hogwarts that I shared with my husband and smiled. After a bit of pestering on my part, Severus relented and let me decorate our rooms in the spirit of Christmas.

Being so far away from home and my family was hard and I needed the decorations to cheer me up and make me feel more at home. With Severus, I felt at home, but when he wasn't by my side, I often felt lonely. Decorations were a small concession from Severus to make me happy.

I found myself with growing feelings for Severus. I knew I loved him. Whether it was a comfortable love or if I was in love with him, I didn't yet know. I did know that I was content by his side and always felt better when in his presence.

Walking back into the bedroom, I found Severus still soundly sleeping. I hated to wake him, but we were expected in Hermione and Draco's rooms soon. I sat on the edge of the bed beside Severus and gently placed my hand on his face.

"Severus? Dear, it's time to wake up. We need to be in the Malfoy's room in an hour and I'd love to share a shower with my sexy husband," I whispered in his ear.

"Mmmm. Good morning, wife. A shower with my beautiful wife sounds quite pleasant. Perhaps I should take you up on the offer," he drawled.

"Should you now?" I asked in a sultry tone while running my hand through his hair.

"Indeed. If you go ahead and get the shower ready, I will drag myself out of bed and meet in momentarily," he said huskily.

"Please do…and hurry. I need you," I said. With that, I let my hand slide from his hair, down his chest, to his sizable erection, where I cupped one of my favorite parts of my husband as I stood up and made my way to the shower to get it ready, stripping my clothing along the way.

After stepping into the shower, I let the hot water pour over me and lose myself in it. Before I knew it, the curtain was pulled back, revealing a naked Severus. Damn, my husband was sexy. I stepped aside to allow my husband room to join me.

Severus wasted no time in pleasuring me this morning. As soon as he stepped into the shower, he was turned toward me. He pulled my wet hair from my neck and kissed me behind my ear. I moaned in pleasure and ran my hands up his chest, through his sparse chest hair, stopping at his nipples, playing with them for a moment before moving up and burying my hands in his hair.

I tugged his head toward mine and captured his lips, entwining our tongues, causing Severus to moan and push me against the shower wall. His cock was rock hard against my stomach and only served to turn me on even more. I lifted my leg and wrapped it around his hips, desperately trying to create friction along the way. Severus reached his hand under my thigh to help support me, lifting me higher, opening me up, and pressed his cock against me. I continued to kiss him and grind against him, still searching for more friction.

The feelings we were eliciting in each other were amazing, but I was too short to comfortably make it work in this position. Severus seemed to realize the problem and picked up my other leg to wrap it around him, holding me against the wall. Bingo! Problem solved!

The tip of his cock was now pushing right on my clit and I moaned in ecstasy, grinding even more against him. Severus suddenly entered me and I cried out with pleasure as his cock hit all the right spots. Moving my lips to his jaw and neck, I nipped along the way and found his earlobe and nibbled, making Severus thrust into me harder.

I loved how hard I could get my husband and how worked up we could get each other. Who knew when I first heard about this marriage law, how utterly amazing I would find my match. I truly got lucky with Severus. He was a fantastic man and a superior lover.

I quickly found myself nearing my climax and clenched around Severus. He felt me tightening on his cock and sped up, pounding into me harder and harder with each thrust. Severus reached one hand down between us and rubbed my clit, making me cum with amazing force. I saw stars as I felt him pounding faster and finally grunting as he released himself inside me.

I felt myself sliding down the wall as Severus' legs gave way and suddenly we were sitting on the floor of the shower in a tangle of limbs, panting. Severus' lips were on my neck, softly kissing the tender flesh there.

I still couldn't believe how amazing this man truly was.

"Thank you," I whispered softly.

"No, thank you," he whispered against my neck.

We slowly made our way out of the shower and back to the bedroom to get dressed for our Christmas Eve celebration with the Malfoys. Once we were ready, we leisurely strolled the halls, hand in hand, making our way to their portrait.
