Part 6 – Too Close
*You know I'm not one to break promises,
I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe.*
Hermione heard the first sounds of the morning and smiled softly as felt the arm around her waist pull her a bit closer. She froze for a second and tried remember what had happened the night before. One eye slightly opened to find her body tucked into the bed at Malfoy Manor with Draco. Inwardly she cursed; she had made it a promise to herself not stay until the morning here with him. She dreaded the whole next morning conversation and having to leave him awake as well as probably try to convince her to stay in bed.
She really, really slowly moved from her side to lay on her back with his arm now only half-way draped across herself. But her bare arse hurt against the silky sheets. Her eyes flew open and had to cover her mouth from the squeak that almost broke from her lips. Last night, holy shite! What I had asked him to do?
*At the end of it all, you're still my best friend,
But there's something inside that I need to release.
Which way is right, which way is wrong*
A headache threated to start as the whole scene replayed in her mind. It was amazingly sexy, totally scary that she would let anyone do that. The knife, his nails, and oh the spanking had been totally unexpected. Yet, what had she really expected when she came over. No idea really. She just wanted to feel something and oh did she feel something. A blush crept on her lips as she had given over her control to her close friend from the past few years and he handled her well. At one point, she even felt totally relaxed and free. Well, Hermione Jane Granger, I guess you're a bit kinky. Cool.
*How do I say that I need to move on?
You know we're heading separate ways*
To her left, she heard a slight snore from her bedmate and it made her smile. Draco looked so handsome laying there next to her, but she couldn't stay. If she got out of bed now, she could keep her promise to herself. Draco was a great guy, but she had to stop coming to him for sexy time. Truthfully, it had helped her heal some of the pain. But Hermione knew she had to leave, maybe even leave the city for a while till things settled down with the whole Harry disaster.
*And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
There's nothing I can really say.*
She looked at his face and had to admit that somewhere along the line she began to fall in love with him. Never would she had cheated on Harry and she just had to get away from this sexy Slytherin till her heart had healed. It was always a bad idea to go from one relationship to another.
*I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more,
Got to be true to myself.*
With a bit of stealthy maneuvering, Hermione got out of the bed with Draco still sound asleep and headed to the connected bathroom. She took care of the morning necessaries as she started planning on her trip to Hogwarts for the summer. Minerva had sent her an owl earlier the day before offering her an internship over the summer to get away from things and to get off the 'map' as they say. And that sounded perfect.
*And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
So I'll be on my way.*
The door silently opened and she peered out to see the still sleeping young man. Her heart gave a tug at the thought of just crawling back in bed to his arms. Maybe wake him with some sneaky, well-placed licks. Hermione shook her head and sneaked to the walk-in closet where she knew he had some of Ginny's things for her to wear. Well, it was better than going back to her place naked.
After an adjustment to some jeans and a green jumper, Hermione grabbed her shoes from the floor by the book case and gave one last look to Draco, who cuddled her pillow. She tip toed over to his desk and left yet another note… one last note before she went back to her apartment to pack for the summer.
Dearest Draco,
You've given me more than I can return,
Yet there's oh so much that you deserve.
There's nothing to say, nothing to do.
I've nothing to give,
I must live without you.
You know we're heading separate ways.
Thanks for a night I will always remember.
H.
