A Step Closer…

Hermione gently pressed her lips to Severus', lingered for a moment, then pulled away.

Severus just continued staring.

"Severus?"

"Come here." Severus cupped her face and covered her lips with his own.

He kissed her softly, his mouth half open. When he pulled away, Hermione was blushing, her lips slightly apart.

But Severus wasn't done.

Pressing his lips again to hers, he encouraged her to part them.

Hermione gasped when Severus' tongue touched hers but then pressed herself against Severus, surrendering herself to him.

When the two finally broke apart they were slightly breathless.

Severus smirked at Hermione's rosy cheeks.

…….

Sigh. Do I have to do everything around here? First I have to marry you, then I have to hold you, and now I have to show you how it's done properly. Come here…

:D

Thanks again for your reviews guys! Hope this lived up to your expectations.

By the way, that was a special twig that would have held you guys no matter how long I took, but since I only took one day I guess you won't have to worry about falling to the rocks far below. :D No cliffies this time!
