Draco's Choice Chapter 3 By HPFangirl71

For Draco Malfoy, nothing in the world mattered but this moment. It was like time had froze and the world melted away. None of it mattered in this moment. The old hatreds, the blood purity issues, his family responsibility…. All his tough choices, they just melted away. All that mattered was her kiss, her scent, her warmth and the feel of her skin touching his. It was all he wanted and needed. She was his everything at this moment frozen in time. His mouth hungrily fed on hers, filling them both with a fire and passion rarely felt.

Draco felt Hermione's hands tugging at his shirt, pulling greedily at the buttons holding it in place. His own hands had reached round her back to slowly slide up the camisole top she wore to trace the delicate curve of her shoulder blades. Her body was on fire at his wanton touch. Soon they were both naked from the waist up and sprawled upon the small couch in Hermione's office. He bent his head to take her breast in his mouth. Hermione let out a moan, which only fueled Draco to suck all the harder. First one breast then the other, as she let her hands travel to his waist and explore his manhood under the thin pants he wore.

Draco was finding it hard to resist her any longer. He lifted off her skirt and removed her lace panties, then also the last of his own clothes. She looked so wildly beautiful laying there flushed with anticipation and desire. He knew she wanted him as badly as he wanted her, yet he would make her wait just a bit longer. He wanted to savor this moment for as long as possible. He took her mouth in his only to pull away again and place his lips upon her inner thighs and her already wet sex. He indulged in the taste of her, all the while making her beg for more.

There was no doubt that Draco was talented in that respect and soon he knew she had had enough and was anticipating the closeness they would share. He spread her legs wide apart and positioned himself to enter her. As he thrust deeply and quickly into her, she cried out his name several times. He silenced her with his mouth forcefully on hers, letting her taste her own salty sweetness on his lips. They let an animal instinct take over till they were both sated. They lay entangled in each others naked bodies, sharing soft gentle kisses, reveling in the heat of this wondrous moment.

Hermione finally broke the tranquil peace of the afternoon . When she spoke it was soft yet firm, "Draco, I meant what I said in my letter. You need to be honest with Pansy." She looked into Draco's face only to find a hard grim mask upon it. She knew this face, it was the mask he used to protect himself. He'd turned this face on her many times during their bitter rivalry at Hogwarts. Draco pulled away from her and got up, starting to re dress himself. He turned to face her, a look of pain and fear replacing the mask.

"You don't understand Hermione, I cant tell her. It'll destroy my family, not to mention what my father's reaction will be!" She glared back at him in anger, " Oh yes Lucius! We wouldn't want to disappoint him now would we?! His only son having a lurid affair with some filthy mud blood whore!", she screamed at him. Draco grabbed her by the shoulders, a look of shock clearly written across his face. "Don't ever say those things about yourself… I love you and I cant bear to hear it.", his eyes were rimmed with tears now as he pulled her into his arms, kissing the top of her head. Hermione mumbled an apology into Draco's hard chest, which didn't escape Draco's ears. " I know this is hard on you baby, but we'll get through this." He pulled her away from him to look into her eyes, "Please trust me little lioness, I'll figure this out. I promise you." He said it with such conviction that Hermione immediately believed him, how could she not when she loved him so…. She'd have to try harder to be happy with these moments they could share, these precious stolen moments. Soon they were both dressed, sitting close together sharing the lunch Hermione had brought for them.

Suddenly Draco got up, "I almost forgot, I got you something this morning." He blurted out. Hermione let out a giggle and told him he didn't need to buy her presents all the time. Draco looked adoringly at her, drinking in the beautiful sound of her laughter. Why had he never realized how sweet and gorgeous she was back at Hogwarts? Shaking his head he broke out of his reverie and handed her the gift. He sat next to her as she unwrapped the silver paper that wrapped the present. When Hermione opened it she let out a surprised gasp and Draco could see tears at the corners of her eyes. "Well it was supposed to make you happy.", he scowled at her. Hermione giggled again and wrapped her arms tightly around him. "You silly man, I am happy!", she cried out. "In fact I've never been happier!" She grabbed his face between her hands and kissed him very gently and sweetly. Draco was very happy and relieved that she liked his gift.

Looking up at the clock though, they realized they both needed to get back to work. Sadly, Draco kissed Hermione goodbye. After removing the locking and silencing charms on the door he quickly exited her office. Hermione settled down at her desk fully intending to get right back to work. Her eyes though happened to glance upon the gift Draco had given her. As she watched the picture of Cinderella and the prince kissing on the cover, she thought about how unfair it was that her prince charming had to go home to his evil wife. She longed for a true happily ever after but in the same sense would never trade what she had with Draco for anything in the world. She was terribly confused by her feelings, she was torn by wanting to do the right thing and not wanting to hurt Draco. She had never felt so protective of anyone as she was of him. She only hoped that deep down he loved her as much as she loved him and one day soon he would be strong enough to make the right choice so they could truly be together.
