Custodis Venit

After a long sleepless night Hermione readied herself for her 11 am meeting. She sent Hugo off to Ginny's and got dressed slowly and carefully. She took her time pinning her hair up and slowly putting on some light make up. Her stomach was full of butterflies and anticipation about seeing him again. His burning kisses still felt hot on her skin as she remembered the last time she was with him. But then the sinking feeling of her nightmare returned. She had never been more torn in her entire life. She grabbed her briefcase and prepared to apparate to Draco's house.

His house was out in the country. And she landed outside the black iron gates. The house was surrounded by a beautiful garden full of magical plants. The trees surrounding the house were turning fall colors in stark contrast to the deep blue sky. She opened the gates and walked up the cobblestone path to his front door. Before she even knocked he was there, opening the large metal doors for her.

"Hello." he said with a sly smile.

"Good morning." she replied blushing. Her stomach did another flip.

"I'm glad you could come."

"Well, you're the boss." she answered, laughing nervously.

He chuckled.

"I think everything is in order. Oh, I forgot to mention that I had a visit from Asteria. She threatened me with the gloves."

Hermione's mouth dropped.
"What did you do?" she asked.

"Told her to go ahead and try to get what she wants for them."

She covered her mouth with her hands.
"I also told her that if she tried it I would rescind the divorce offer. She seemed to think that she could do better with the gloves."

"Oh Draco, this is such a mess. She is going to try and ruin you and you look so calm."

"All she is going to do is make a fool of herself. And leave this sham of a marriage with what she came in with. Nothing."

Hermione swallowed hard.

"All the same. What if…what if she puts two and two together and figures out about what we…"

"Asteria can't add." he joked.

"Be serious." she scolded.

"I am. Don't worry about her." he said walking closer to where she stood nervously tapping her foot. He placed his hands on her shoulders and pulled her close. She sighed as the smell of his skin hit her nostrils. She felt much better as he held her and rested his chin against the top of her head.

"I missed you." she blurted out.

He was taken aback.

"Really? You did?" he asked.

"Well…" she started to stutter.

"I missed you too." he said pulling her to face him. "More than I can say."

"I thought…by your letter…that maybe you…"

"What? Didn't want to see you anymore? That couldn't be further from the truth. I just didn't want anyone else to see it and think…well…know the truth. You don't know how hard the last few days have been for me. Wondering how you were, what you were thinking, what you were feeling. Wondering if you had forgiven him. Wondering if he was lying next to you totally unaware how beautiful and special you are."

Hermione's eyes welled up with tears.

"The truth is Hermione that I have felt lost and alone without you. I don't know what the future holds for either one of us, but I do know this; I want you in my future."

She stood on her tiptoes and pulled his head up to kiss him. The soft feeling of his lips on hers melted any doubt she had. She knew what and who she wanted. And she knew that she could make it work with her kids as well. He pulled the small of her back so that her whole body rested against the length of his. Hermione dropped her papers onto the floor and wrapped both of her arms around his neck. Quickly he lowered his arm and scooped her up into his arms without breaking the intense kiss. Work was forgotten. Gloves were forgotten. Spouses were forgotten.

He carried her up the steps and into his massive bedroom. She never imagined what his bedroom would look like. But it was definitely not this. The walls were a deep stained teak wood with cutouts for shelves and the ceiling was high but done in wood slats in a slightly lighter color. The wall on the left of the bed was done in a light tan with a larger cubby insert. It had light colored cushions to make a lovely seating area. Soft lights lit this area. The floor was deep hardwood, with a large area rug in the middle. Tan with deep brown trim. The bed sat on a huge deep mahogany platform with ball feet. It was covered in an off white bed set with deeper pillows and a deep soft throw on the edge. Around the edge of the room were French doors with bamboo blinds filtering the morning sunlight. The whole room smelled of sandalwood and some spice she didn't know. But it was pleasant.

He kissed her softly again breaking her concentration on the room and reminding her of why she was there. She kissed him back with more fervor than before. She needed to be with him. Consequences be damned. He navigated her over to the bed and set her down. She knelt as she kissed him, unbuttoning his shirt slowly. Her lips slid down his jaw line to his neck, then to his chest, leaving a little red trail of passion as she went.

He moaned in appreciation, a deep throaty moan that sent Hermione right over the edge. She ripped off his shirt and tossed it to the ground. Draco pushed her down onto the soft bed. She yielded to the firm pressure and lay there anticipating his next move. Her breathing was shallow and ragged as he removed her skirt and shoes. The shock of red panties that lay underneath had him grinning wickedly.

"You didn't wear these in anticipation did you?" he teased. Hermione blushed deeply.

"Of course not." she replied before pulling him back down on top of her. He kissed her all over her legs and thighs ending near the waist band of the flimsy panties.

"Such a shame to take these off.," he smiled "but I think it will be necessary." A flash of white teeth gripped the elastic and tore them off in one tug. He began kissing his way back up her legs and when he reached the short curly hair that was now slightly damp he sighed.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked.

"You are just so beautiful. Do you trust me?"

"Of course."

"Then close your eyes." he told her. "And relax."

She did as he asked. And before long she felt the tip of his tongue probing her. His soft hands slowly parted her legs, massaging her gently as he kissed her. Hermione had never really been a big fan of this. But she was suddenly changing her mind. He was so loving as he sucked lightly on the skin surrounding her clitoris. She felt twinges of pleasure as he worked his way closer and closer, his hands massaging her backside now.

She moaned softly as her back arched in pleasure. She felt alive and happy as he continued to use his tongue in ways she didn't think was possible. The familiar wave of orgasm swept through her body leaving her trembling. She ran her fingers through his hair pushing his head down further into her. Draco growled a little and nibbled on her skin sending more shockwaves through her. She cried out loudly.

"Oh!"

He smiled as he continued, not letting her have a break. She came over and over again, her head spinning by the fourth or fifth time. Finally she couldn't take it anymore. She reached down and pulled his head up towards hers and licked his lips as he pulled off his own trousers and shorts. Soon Hermione's shirt was gone as well as her bra, leaving her able to explore his body and him to explore hers.

In Hermione's entire marriage she had not been a big fan of oral sex, giving or receiving. But since he had just changed her mind on the receiving, she figured she should try the giving part too. She pushed him firmly onto the bed so that his head rested on the soft pillows. She kissed him softly on his lips, then his neck, following the lines of his smooth chest downwards. He was already hard, and her hand stroked him from the bottom to the top of the shaft. He shivered. Her lips parted and kissed the tip gently, then a little more until her tongue ran around the edge several times. She felt him tense up and relax in between each circle. She licked her lips again. He tasted clean with a hint of spice. She licked him up and down several times before taking him fully into her mouth. He moaned again, louder than before and thrust his hips upwards in rhythm with her motions. She rubbed his thighs as she went up and down on him leaving him clawing at the sheets and moaning her name over and over again. Feeling he was close he pulled her upwards on top of him and kissed her with all the passion he possessed. She sat down on his hardened member and slid him inside of her.

Her body rocked with an intense orgasm as she leaned forward to kiss him. He fondled her breasts as she rode him harder and faster. She sat up straight as a final orgasm took control of her. She screamed out his name as his hands rested on her hips helping her finish as he came in time with her. Both of them were left panting and gasping for air as she climbed off of him and laid beside him, her head nestled in the crook of his shoulder. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"That was amazing." he said.

Hermione head was still dizzy.

"Yes, it was. You are amazing." she said gripping his hand inside of hers.

"That was all you." he replied.

She blushed.

"I'm filing for divorce." she blurted out. "I know what I want. I need to be happy for once."

He looked at her and she was smiling at him. She looked like an angel.

"I love you Hermione." he said holding her chin. "You may not feel the same, but I thought you should know how I felt so that there are no barriers between us. I love you and I want you to be happy."

She was stunned. She didn't know he felt this intensely about her already. She knew how she felt about him. She knew she was making the right choice.

"I love you too. More than I though I ever could. Seeing you smile the way you are is all I need to know."

Hermione kissed him again before lying back down on the bed and falling fast asleep in his arms.

They thought they were both happy and safe for once. But for once they were wrong. Just as the happy couple was falling asleep in each other's arms, Asteria was collecting something from the house. Tiny little black circles that ran to her in the front yard as she chanted. "Custodis Venit"

Roughly translated from latin "Custodis Venit" means spy camera...my latin is horrible, please forgive me :)
