Severus knew Harry had a point but he was still not sure about this if he was honest with himself. Harry was not the only Lupin who was on his brain. Spending time with Remus had reminded him so clearly of the friendship that he thought he had lost. There had been times he had hoped for more than friends. Remus had always been there for him, even when he took the mark; he helped him become a spy. The werewolf in Remus had made it hard to be friends publically and the marauders but the war was over and Remus was the only marauder left. He told himself his concern about how Remus would react if he knew about Harry and Severus was concern only over losing a friend he had worked hard to get back into his life finally. And that was part for he knew that Remus was over protective of his son and he would likely tear apart anyone even in his human form who threatened the safety or the happiness of his cub. But he kept thinking about Remus when ever he thought about Harry and he wondered if there was another reason for it. He was extremely attracted to Harry and he could not deny he definitely wanted to bed his little lion but he found himself reluctant to do so, both because of Remus and because of Draco warning him not to hurt Harry.

But he was having a date with Harry on Friday night. He would have preferred Saturday as Harry had quidditch practice Saturday morning but Lucius had already claimed it. But he at least had Harry the night before he was going to be with Lucius and while he knew Lucius was groaning that it meant he could bed Harry first Severus was not sure he would take Harry to bed, not his first night. Merlin the words of his nephew and his friendship with Remus were going to his head. Harry had practically begged him to take him to bed, but for some reason something kept holding back Severus in his mind from taking the next step.

He decided not to head for Hogsmeade but invited Harry for dinner in his rooms that night. Harry had smiled when he had made the suggestion and there was something about the look on Harry's face which made him aware of how close they would be to his bedroom. Harry arrived right on time.

Harry smiled as he came into the apartments and pulled him down into a long hard kiss. "How about we skip with dinner and go straight for the dessert."

Severus laughed. "I always knew there was a reason you never topped in potions, you have no patience. I said no bedding before a date and that includes dinner."

Though Harry pouted Severus drew him in for one more long tender kiss and then brought him over to the table and pushed him down into a chair. Severus had ordered some fine steak and potatoes; something that was not usually served at school other then for feasts but that he knew was Harry's favourite food. The smile definitely confirmed that and since Harry was of age he had brought some wine as well.

Harry looked at him as Severus poured him another glass of wine "Trying to get me drunk are you? Easier to get me in bed or trying to help your team win?"

Severus put down the bottle. "Well it might be easier for Slytherin to win if Gryffindor's seeker broke his neck but I thought it just might loosen you up a bit."

Under the table Harry's hand had reached across and ran up between his legs and Severus tried to hide a groan as the young fingers caressed the fine cock. Severus was reluctant to and it took everything in him to stop Harry but he used his wand to start up the music and drew Harry into his arms for a dance instead. He could feel Harry was indeed a bit of a light weight and had gone a bit tipsy dancing with him. His hands strayed to the fine tight ass and he could not get his mind off of sinking into the ass and he could feel himself growing hard from just the thoughts of it. And his hardening cock had not gone unnoticed by Harry.

Harry drew away from him a bit and looked up into his eyes. "We have had inner and danced and it seems your body is agreeing with me, time for dessert."

Severus chuckled and scooped Harry up off the ground. "Well never say I was one to argue with that logic."

Harry found himself deposited on the ground in the bedroom and his hands went to Severus' shirt buttons after encouraging the older man to do the same. Severus ran an admiring hand over the fine rock hard chest, happy his little one was a quidditch player. He tilted Harry's head up to get a better aim for a long drawn kiss, not having to tug on the lip to encourage the mouth to open for his, his tongue sliding in the young mouth. His hands ran along the fine chest, fingering the nice pink nipples, squeezing and massaging them until they grew nice and hard.

He had moved to Harry's ever so sensitive earlobes eliciting a deep throated moan from Harry which continued when his mouth continued a long drawn out path down his neck, he felt Harry's hands on his belt undoing the buckle o it.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Severus kissed him tenderly when the knocker was not going away. "I will send Draco off, maybe draw us a bath."

Harry pouted but he nodded and Severus headed for his door but was surprised when he found Lucius on the doorstep instead. He had known Draco had been concerned about Harry but he had never expected Lucius to come. It was playing dirty even for his friend to come during a date.

Lucius leaned against the doorframe. "I had an interesting conversation with my son about playing games with Harry. Did you tell my son about our little bet?"

Severus heard the bath water running so he looked at Lucius. "Of course I didn't. He thinks the two of us are just interested in the same guy and having fun."

Neither of them had noticed Harry standing in the doorway of the bedroom or that he had gone across to the door to the potions lab. Severus was glaring at Lucius who quite clearly knew he had a date with Harry that night. He knew what would happen if Harry knew there was a bet to see who could seduce him into the bed the fastest. It was one thing to be naturally competing and attracted to him but Harry would definitely not like to learn this has started over money.

He looked at Lucius. "Either get out o here or I will find out where your date is tomorrow and cut in on it. We both know you didn't come here over Draco."

Lucius smirked and shrugged. "Severus even if you bed him tonight I will win in the long run. I don't plan on a one night stand with him. But have fun tonight."

Severus stared at his brother's back as he retreated down the hall, surprised Lucius was actually looking at this as more then just a bet. He had been but he thought Lucius was just playing the field and having some fun since he was single. He might just be having some fun but it seemed Lucius had every intention of seeing this more then once. Severus felt a twinge of jealousy but reminded himself he had the young body waiting for him and the fat lady hadn't sung yet.

He went into the bedroom and bathroom but found Harry gone. "He heard us."
