AN: You know how I've been telling everyone who would listen that this story is rated M? This chapter is why! It contains fairly explicit sex between three people. If you are under 18 DO NOT READ!

Severus had served their favored drinks. They were sitting on what had become their favorite couch in the house. It was actually a large, over-stuffed leather loveseat, but it was just large enough for the three of them…as long as no one minded their thighs pressing against one another.

At the moment it appeared that no one did.

Severus had one long arm around the back of the seat. He was tall enough to drape it comfortingly across both Lucius and Hermione. The witch was snuggled in between them.

Severus continued to pet Hermione as Lucius watched. She touched Lucius much the same as she normally did, but the feeling was different tonight.

Apparently his old friend had picked up on his interest and had found a previously un-mined vein of exhibitionism. Severus was generally intensely private…but he was obviously enjoying Lucius' rapt fascination as he teased his lover…nothing explicit, just lingering caresses in socially acceptable places…but he watched Lucius while he touched her.

At the moment her face was buried in Lucius' chest while Severus had loosened her robes enough to massage her neck. His fingers were actually brushing Lucius' chest and the witch's breasts were pressed against him. Thanks to the liquor he was only semi-hard. If he'd been sober he would have cum in his pants like some untried boy.

Severus moved from massaging the witch's neck to her breasts. She arched backward, giving him a perfect view. Her nipples were hard against the cloth of her robe, her face was glowing. She liked the idea that he was watching her.

Lucius groaned. He clasp Severus' wrist.

Silver eyes met black.

"Severus…"

The dark man kissed him chastely. Lucius looked up, shocked.

"We belong together…you, me, her…it isn't right with only two of us, but with all three…"

"I don't know…you know I've never…"

Hermione covered the hand that wrapped around Severus' wrist. "This is a first for all of us…why don't we go to the bedroom and get comfortable and see what feels right? If nothing else, I want to touch you…I know how I want the night to end. I want to fall asleep between the two of you."

Severus nodded.

How could he deny them? He knew; in that moment that he didn't just want the witch. He wanted Severus too.

He leaned forward and kissed the dark man's lips with a soft brush of skin.

"Very well then…take me to bed."

LMHGSS

They were a bit tipsy but the managed to get to Severus and Hermione's wing well enough. Severus seemed to want to hold on to both of them. Lucius was shocked to find that he didn't mind.

They finally arrived at the bedroom. Hermione sighed and removed her outer robes immediately, leaving her in a fetching silk camisole and boy shorts. Her clever little fingers removed Lucius' robes quickly, his white button down shirt and slacks followed. Severus had removed his own robes and was watching the progress.

He pulled Lucius to the bed. "You're tired."

Lucius laughed. "I've had a bit much firewhiskey and I'm still as weak as a day-old hippogriff. We should have waited to do this."

Severus ran his long fingers over his skin in a soothing motion. "This doesn't have to be anything more than sleep if that's what you want. Hermione and I will be able to feel you close to us…we'll know that you are safe."

"Severus, if you're doing this out of a sense of…obligation…" The last word hung in the air like an executioner's ax.

Hermione climbed to his other side. "Not obligation…realization. You nearly died, love…it made us…both of us realize how much you mean to us."

He wrapped his arm around the witch and hugged her tightly. It was a small scrap of normalcy. He kissed her forehead.

"So if I wanted to go to sleep, we'd all just lie down and sleep?"

Severus smirked. "We'd let you sleep…and we'd eventually join you."

Lucius looked at them. "How do we even start this?"

Hermione whispered. "Like this."

She rose to her knees and kissed him, teasing his lips with soft nips and lingering licks. Very quickly her tongue was plundering his mouth and he was holding her small frame flush with his bare chest.

She pulled away as Severus moved closer. Lucius examined the other man, checking for signs that he was secretly upset.

His black eyes were troubled. "The two of you are so beautiful." He sighed.

Hermione pulled the dark man close and Lucius held him securely to his chest. Lucius kissed his neck, surprised that he would be comfortable with such a show of affection. Severus leaned back and Hermione moved to kiss his thin lips.

She whispered "I love you."

He smirked and kissed her. "I know."

She and Lucius laughed.

Lucius pulled them all back to the headboard and kept Severus snuggled to his chest. This wasn't hard. It was a relief to touch him like this, to kiss and hug him and finally, finally hold him when he showed those rare moments of vulnerability.

Hermione caught his eye and grinned. She started kissing Severus with intent, pushing his dark head into Lucius' chest. Lucius kissed the other man's temple and held him firmly as Hermione continued her siege on his lips. Lucius wrapped his other arm around her slender figure, pulling her tight against Severus.

His hand found her pert little bum and he ran his fingers over it as Severus occupied his hands in her knickers.

The witch was quickly aroused. Severus smirked at Lucius and nuzzled his neck. "Eagar isn't she? We need to move to continue." Lucius kissed Severus softly. "Do you get to taste her first or shall I?"

Severus laughed. "I do. You've always been a breast man…and she has the most beautiful set of breasts you've never tasted. It's more than time to rectify that."

Severus pulled her knickers down to reveal a lovely trimmed thatch of moist curls. Lucius pulled the silk top off, sliding the material across her nipples sinuously.

Severus was right. Her breasts were absolute perfect circles. They weren't quite a handful, but they were extremely sensitive; she gasped when he ran the smooth pads of his thumbs over her pebbled nipples. He kissed her pink mouth as Severus kissed her lower lips.

He watched the way Severus kissed her sweet core and approved. Hermione preferred to moan her approval.

Lucius turned his attention to her pert breasts. He was no longer half-erect. His cock was straining against the silk of his boxers, pre-cum soaking the fragile fabric. He licked and nipped at her erect nipples, sucking most of one entire breast into his mouth. He could have spent hours enjoying her but, in between the two of them, they brought the witch twice in what seemed like only a few moments.

Severus pulled him down.

He ran his thumb over her clit as Lucius watched. Her hips bucked. Severus grinned like a kid at Christmas. "She's ready. You've waited longer."

His friend pushed him toward her open, willing body. He looked at Severus again. "Are you sure?"

Severus kissed him, Hermione's taste still on his lips.

Hermione smiled at them. "We're sure. Now that we both know that we love you…and we love you like this…what else can we do?"

Severus moved to kiss Hermione. "Nothing else."

Lucius wished he had his hair to hide his face.

"You know…I feel the same don't you?"

Severus relaxed slightly and Hermione looked relived. "It's good to hear it out loud."

Hermione grinned. "You need to take those off." She motioned to his boxers. They were sticky with pre-cum. He grimaced as he slid them over his hips.

Severus watched as Lucius positioned the tip of his cock in her folds. Lucius wanted to ask again, to make sure he was welcome, but Hermione shifted her hips and he groaned as he sheathed himself inside her.

He buried his face in her neck. This was what he'd been missing. He was inside a woman that he adored. He wiped tears from his eyes and felt Severus cradle his face with one hand. Then they were both kissing his face, hands caressing his skin, and Hermione was moving under him.

Lucius felt her getting closer, her walls tightened and he allowed himself release.

Severus kissed the witch softly and helped Lucius move. "She can cum again with the proper stimulation."

With that he watched as Severus plunged into the witch who arched and moaned wordlessly.

She opened her whiskey-brown eyes and beckoned to him as Severus pounded fiercely into her.

He couldn't believe it when she positioned him so that she could take him into her mouth. She was very gentle, moaning as Severus continued his steady, almost rough pace.

Severus slowed a bit as he watched Hermione's clever mouth slowly coax him to another erection. When he was soft, he was considerably smaller and she could take the entire length of him in her warm mouth. He quickly grew to a size that was unmanageable and she began using her hand as well as her mouth.

He watched as Severus' rhythm changed. He had a full view of their bodies. Severus was flicking her clit with his thumb as he moved in and out of her in hard strokes. She was humming around Lucius' cock as Severus came.

Severus rolled away and she used her hands to urge Lucius to take Severus' place.

She arched as he entered her and Severus moved to toy with her breasts.

He pulled out his wand and Lucius raised a brow as he felt a healing spell wash over all of them.

"That's cheating old boy."

"We're Slytherins."

Hermione was apparently tired of their discussion because she flipped Lucius to his back with a practiced roll of her hips and thighs.

She moved like the lioness that she was, her mane of curls thrown back, back arching, eyes closed.

Severus moved behind her and pressed his body to hers as his hands teased her breasts for Lucius' viewing pleasure.

Her panting cries announced another orgasm.

She fell forward on his chest, spent. He was still inside her. He pulled out as Severus moved to the other side of the witch and cast cleaning spells. Lucius was almost sorry to see the white stains disappear from her thighs. He compensated by taking her left breast in his mouth and deliberately sucking until he left a large, satisfying mark.

Severus smirked and did the same on her right side.

Severus moved the kiss her and nuzzle her neck. Lucius moved up for a kiss of his own.

Hermione sighed happily. "Well that was satisfying."

Severus laughed. "For you witch. I hope you feel up for another round soon. "

"I hope you'll be willing to bring me a healing draft."

Severus summoned one and caressed her face and kissed Lucius' head. "That can be arranged."

AN: I swear…this chapter gave me hives! I'm sure I'll see a dozen errors as soon as I post it, but it wouldn't come until the last minute!

Thanks to dragoon811 for acting as a sounding board…this update wouldn't have happened today without her help! (check her out, you might like her work!)

I'm not done…I think this needs another chapter and an epilogue. I'll try to update Saturday, but expect another chapter on PTSD first.
