Not so smooth Jazz

by Chilisha

Hands rubbed over my back lightly as the credits began rolling on the movie I'd only been paying scant attention to. Truthfully even though I'd been the one turn on the tv I couldn't tell you one thing that happened to save my life. Between the soft hum buzzing away inside Jazz's chest and him well, being him, the tv left much to be desired.

Time skip: 6 weeks

I sighed as I plopped into the seat next to Harry who had just cleared it of books with a smile. "You look rather ruffled. Something wrong?" A small grumble was offered in his direction before deciding to try my hand. I was 17 now after all and Ratchet had cleared me for sex. *Maybe you could help me out with this later on.* He perked up, nudging me. *Sure, Sam. You know I'd do anything for you. What do you need me to do?* A small chuckle escaped. *Me.* Harry's eyes widened and he choked on his drink, coughing it from his lungs into a napkin. *Did you just ask me to have sex with you?!* One brow arched toward my hair line, regarding him. *Well it was either you or Draco and he has a girlfriend. I don't have anyone else I feel close enough with that I'd feel comfortable in losing my virginity to.* His face was very red and it was quickly gaining attention. "Are you OK Harry?" Hermione asked, watching him in concern. "Yeah! I'm just- A bit of juice went down into the wrong pipe. I'm fine!" For a moment longer she watched him before returning her attention to her food. *Sam I honestly don't know what to say! I mean!- I want to! But I've never had sex either, and I'm nervous.* I shrugged, shifting closer to him. *Its your choice Harry, but you should know better than to be nervous around me. I mean, if you suck, I'll just tell everyone, no pressure.* He pushed me lightly at my joke, the first hints of a smile coming back. *So how do you plan on doing this?* His interest sparked excitement in me and I found it even harder to sit still then before. *I figured I'd just sneak into your room after everyone is sleeping.* Harry blew out a sigh, looking over at me intently. *So we're really going to do this?* He asked, pushing around a carrot on his plate that he seemed to have little interest in actually eating. *I would very much like to. Believe it or not Harry, girls want sex too and Jazz raised me not to be ashamed of my body or desires. He doesn't share the same views as everyone else about sex being something private. He did make quite sure to caution against bedding down with just anyone. The muggle world carries a rather large of risk diseases that can be commuted through sex.* The carrot my hopeful bed mate been pushing around was stabbed and stuffed into his mouth finally, though I suspected it was done more to keep him occupied than being hungry. *Yeah, my parents gave me the same talk. Why don't you just wait for me in the hall? I'll leave a few minutes after you so it doesn't look suspicious.* A plate of my own was filled and I scuffed up some potatoes to munch on. *Sounds good to me. Thanks Harry.* He nodded lightly, taking a bite of chicken. Nothing else was said between us and I could still feel that he was quite nervous...

The stone was cold and rough against my back as I waited the several minutes for Harry to come around the corner. His head turned quickly, searching for me until he saw me standing there. "There you are. Come on, before we're caught." My hand become engulfed in his bigger one and he hurried down the hall, reframing from dragging me when I didn't move quick enough, but only just. The secret entrance came into view before long and he announced the password, gaining entry for us both. It wasn't until we were safely tucked into his room that he finally relaxed. A deep sigh whoshing from his lungs as he slumped back against the door, looking quite flustered. "You need to relax. It's me, Harry." A disheartened look crossed his face and I wondered if he was having reservations about what we were about to do. "I'm just really nervous, Sam. What if I do the wrong thing?" A small sympathetic smile played my lips up as I moved over to him, winding my arms around his neck. "I'm quite sure neither of us are going to be inherently good at this tonight. It's our first time but we're not going to get any better by running from it. Now disrobe, Mr. Potter." He cringed. "You sound like Professor Snape." "What ever makes you feel better about this." His eyes widened so much I was almost convinced they might fall out as his face it grew as red as the hoodie hanging on the desk side chair. "That will not in any way make me feel better! Oh no! Sam~..." My friend bemoaned, covering his face. I snorted, in little mood for stalling at the moment. My clothes were stripped away one by one and my friend swallowed thickly, watching as each article landed near my feet. Fingers twitched in my direction, just being restrained to his side. Heat was quick to pool behind his eyes and I tipped my head. "Well?" He shook his head quickly, as if to clear it before yanking at his own clothing much less gracefully than I had. His shoulder hit the wall hard enough to rattle the door as he jumped around, trying to free himself from his socks. Bright green eyes caught mine, though he still seemed hesitate to come over, so I went to him. A gasp hissed from him as I ran my fingers down his middle, making his cock jump between us. "Come to bed." I caught his hand, and he followed with no farther reserve, smoothing his palms over my butt as I climbed onto the soft comforter. The contact felt quite strange but I found it exciting in a whole new way. My hips shifted, planting firmly against the mattress as Harry joined me. "What do want me to do?" I chuckled softly, scooting over so we could reach each other. "Just touch me. Doesn't matter where right now, just where ever you want." He swallowed thickly, warm fingers reaching out to brush against a hardened nipple. I gasp into the contact, leaning forward into him and he rolled it between his fingers lightly. "You like that?" My head bobbed, watching him from one eye as the other slipped closed. "Yeah... Feels good, Harry." The positive affirmation helped in no small way to embolden my partner and he leaned forward, kissing my lips gently, making me mew into it. They were warm and soft against mine and I wound an arm around his neck. Hot breath tickled over my face and my lips trembled against his as another hand ran the lenght of my side. Goosebumps followed his path, prickling my flesh as I gasped into his kiss. "Your skin is so soft..." He hummed, mouth leaving mine to nuzzle at my neck. "Ah... I like that." Soft lips curved against the hollow of my throat and I lolled my head back, giving him more skin to play attention to. One hand found his chest, fingers just barely touching him and he hissed against my throat. I smirked at his response and lowered my chin, forcing him away from my neck so I could nip at his ear. A sharp breath made his chest jump under my fingers and I swung my leg over his lap to straddle him. His cock stood proudly between us, the slightly flared head brushing against my neatly trimmed patch of hair. Under me Harry swallowed thickly, muscles tightening against me as my blunt nails traveled down his trim chest. There was little to no muscle to speak of, just smooth toned skin. It wasn't likely to remain that way though. Harry groaned, hot breaths tickling my shoulder as I leaned in to drop several love bites over his neck. Hands slid over my sides, lingering on a few spots that made me gasp. "Sam..." He pushed me back some, panting as we looked at each other. Bright green eyes shimmered with lust and he took them from me, lips and teeth plucking their way from my collar bone to my breast. My chest jumped as I sucked in a sharp breath, drawing a giddy pleasure from my partner. "How does this feel?" He asked, nose brushing along the valley of my breast. "Feels really good, Harry..." A hot mouth blazed a trail of kisses to my left nipple, sucking it between his lips to roll against his teeth. I keened loudly, arching forward into him. His eyes widened at my reaction before nuzzling into my soft flesh. My hand slipped down his middle, curling around his cock. It was hot and firm against my fingers and jumped into my attention. Harry gasped, muffling his groan into my chest. Harsh pants washed over my skin as he pulled away. "Sam I'm going to-!" He broke off, eyes screwing tightly shut just before something hot splattered over my belly and right leg. His cock pulsed hotly in my hand, hips jerking forward as he groaned. "Did you just..." Harry's face reddened and I blew out a sigh. "I am so sorry!" His lenght wilted in my hand and I flicked him an annoyed look when he opened his eyes. Tissues were snatched from the box next to the bed and he quickly wiped away the rapidly cooling mess he'd covered me in. He looked quite embarrassed and rather flustered. "Um... So, what now?" My legs slipped from his lap, flopping onto the bed. "Now, you help me finish." Harry watched me for a second before carefully brushing over my curls, slipping between moist folds. A thoughtful look crossed his face and I shifted my hips, spreading my legs to allow him full access. "Would you mind if I try something? I saw- Some videos where guys would... Um. Lick, the girls they were with." A half amused grin crossed my face. "Go for it. You don't have to act so nervous, Harry. Nothing wrong with watching porn. I've done my fair share of exploring the internet to see what I like." My bed mate nodded softly, crawling toward me on his hands and knees until he was leaning over me. Lips pecked kisses along my belly, making my skin jump into the contact as goosebumps prickled up my flesh. They blazed a path downward, pausing just above my folds as his fingers jittered against my sides. A breath pulled in my scent before his tongue darted out to touch my clit. Air hissed between my teeth and my fingers found there way into his hair. "Do you like that?" "Oh very much so! Keep going..." A half smug grin crossed his face and he nuzzled into my moist folds, tongue dipping into me as I gasp. The digits in his hair tightened, and I ground down onto him. Warm breaths tickled against my heated skin and my clit was gently rolled between his teeth and tongue. Pleasure knotted deep in my belly and I keened loudly, lips parting on a gasp as the blanket became bunched up in my clenched fist. "Harry please! Ah!" His nose nuzzled firmly into my thin patch of hair as he sucked at clit firmly. Fingers probed against my entrance and I gasped as they became pushing in. Pain tinged my pleasure and I jolted away from him, getting a surprised look. "That hurt..." Surprise shifted to concern and he smoothed over my hips. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you." I blew out a sigh, settling back onto the bed. "I know. It's different for girl to lose their virginity. There's a thin piece of skin covering me that you'll have to break and it will hurt but it has to happen. Maybe not tonight though since this turned out to be more of a foreplay session than sex. Try just one finger." Harry didn't look quite convinced but did as I said and I sighed as a single digit penetrated into me. My hips shifted, allowing him to reach deeper and I ground down onto him. "Is that OK?" I bobbed my head quickly and he brushed something deep inside me that drew a startled gasp from me. "Ah! Do that again!" This time he looked quite intrigued as he stroked over that little spot. A hot tongue found my clit once more and I arched into him, keening as I felt the coil of pleasure snap. A sob was muffled into my balled up fist and Harry just continued on licking away until I pushed myself back to escape the odd discomfort following my orgasm. "Did I hurt you again?" My head shook side to side. "No. Just felt really weird after I came." Confusion flickered over his face. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize you got there." Fingers brushed over my leg and I nodded lightly. "Yeah... That was good Harry... Really good." A giddy smile played onto his lips and he turned around so he could lean back against his pillows, pulling me over against his chest. He wasn't nearly as warm as Severus I noted, curling next to him. "So... Are we going to be doing this again? I would really enjoy if we could." I giggled, kissing his chest as I ran my fingers over it. "I would enjoy that too. It was really nice Harry. Hopefully next time we can actually have sex." A light blush colored his cheeks. "Yeah... I'm really sorry about that." My shoulders rolled in a shrug. "Don't worry about it. We're both new at this, and we'll get better." Harry hummed, leaning over to kiss the side of my head. "Thanks for tonight. I really enjoyed your company." My eyes flicked up to his before snuggling closer. "Me too, Harry. I can't wait until next time." We may not have had sex, but this was quite nice and I was glad I'd come here tonight...

The hot burn of angry eyes skated over me for what must have been the hundredth time in as many seconds and I just knew that Severus had found out about me and Harry. Speaking of which, was enduring an equal number of hateful looks. I was spared the hate, but the deep disappointment was just as bad. His back turned on me, rode snapping sharply at the air and something hit my hand. The crumbled piece of paper was quickly covered as Severus stalked back the row and I read it quickly. ~What's wrong him? Do you think he knows?~ I flicked a glance to Harry who was giving me a pleading look until my god-father smacked him roughly in the back if his head with a book. "Eyes to yourself Mr. Potter!" He snapped with enough contempt to make me wince. Draco nudged me, trying to cover his laugh. "I take it he found out about your ill thought out expedition." I sighed, scribbling my response while Severus wasn't looking. ~Oh I'm quite sure he knows. Just grin and bare it, Harry. Sorry.~ The note was tossed over and he snatched it, only having a second to look at it before our Professor noticed it and quickly became its new owner. "You two! After class!" He snarled angrily, paper catching fire in his hand. Fingers clenched around it, burning embers fluttering from his palm as the flames were starved of air and smothered in his fist. My head thumped against the desk, groaning as angry eyes lingered on me...

Class ended far sooner than I'd hoped and everyone scrabbled to get away from my god-father's angry aura. The room emptied in less than half the time it took any other time and Harry was grabbed by the back of his shirt when he began to move. The doors slammed behind us, locking tight and Harry looked really scared as he was shoved from behind his desk. "You both are going to fill ten pages! Front and back! And you! I am very disappointed in you!" An angry finger stabbed in my direction as Harry was bodily shoved into the seat next to me so he could glower over us both. I groaned loudly, head falling backwards. "It wasn't even real sex! He came on my leg before he could even inside me!" Hands slapped onto the desk before us. "Good! You will not be seeing ~Mr. Potter~ outside of a class room, again!" My hands flew above my head. "That is totally unfair!" Severus stalked quickly around to our side, trapping me in my chair as he snarled down at me. "It may have escaped~ your notice! But life, isn't, fair!" Harry flinched away next to me but I held my god-father's angry eyes. "Honestly Professor I don't understand what the big deal is!" I elbowed Harry to shut him up as Severus slapped 2 books of parchment onto the desk. "That is my little girl you're sneaking about with Mr. Potter!" Harry snapped to attention and I groaned. "He's my god-father." Shocked eyes turned to me. "What?!" Our Professor yanked up his sleeve and shoved Harry's head roughly toward the desk. "Write!! You!! Since you can't seem to be trusted to remain where you belong, I will ~personally escort you to every~ class! And you'll be sleeping in my chambers, until such a time I feel I can trust you again!" My arms snapped against my chest, glaring at him, it was Harry that spoke up though. "She's not a child! And she's not yours to order about, Professor! She's not your daughter!" My eyes widened and I shoved Harry back into his seat. "Stop!" "I'm defending you!" "Well don't!" I snapped, pushing him bodily down as I stood to calm Severus who looked quite distressed. Clearly the thought of me growing away from him had scared him quite alot and I felt badly for him. "Hey. I'm not going anywhere, Severus. I'm always going to be your little girl and no matter how big I get or who I'm with I'm always going to need you. Your my dad, blood or not and nothing is going to change that. I love you, and I'm not leaving, not ever." Dark brown eyes caught mine, holding them for a moment before pulling me over into his arms. "Do you swear to that?" I nodded, hugging around his middle, his warmth seeping through his clothes into me. "I swear, Sev. Just because I'm seeing Harry it doesn't mean I'm going to stop needing you. But I also have needs of my own, needs that you, as good as you are to me, can't meet." He sighed, fingers cradling the back of my head as his thumbs brushed back my hair. For a long few moments we stayed like that before he finally pushed me back enough he could meet my eyes once more. No small amount of relief clouded them and I cupped his cheek. Warm breath tickled my wrist and he leaned into my open palm before he spoke once more. "I know. I am sorry for reacting as I did. You must understand though, that I have been alone for most of my life and I do not want to lose your affection, miss placed as it may be. You are the one person I have come to lean on more than anyone else and having you leave my life scares me more than facing Voldemort." My eyes softened farther, hugging him once more. "I'm not going anywhere. I promise. I know how much I mean to you because you mean just as much to me! No amount of rushing hormones, or boyfriends are going to change that. So, can you please call a truce with Harry?" His eyes flickered behind me, a light scowl taking up residence on his handsome feathers. "I will concede to you seeing Mr. Potter if you'll agree to sitting through detention while I lecture you about sex." I really tried not smirk, but I knew I failed when my god-father narrowed his eyes. "I actually already had this talk so I'll just-" "Sit down, Potter!~ You'll just, ~do what I tell you to!~ If you do not pay attention~, you will, not, be, seeing, my daughter!" Snapped Severus, shoving Harry back into the chair via a hand planted firmly atop his head. "This talk is directed at you since I have my doubts that your parents informed you of the female anatomy." Harry buried his face and I elbowed him. "Look, it'd actually do you a lot of good. He's been around longer than us and has no doubt made his rounds. Having someone with experience to talk with is a good thing."

My placation did little to soothe the deep blush occupying his cheeks, but he at least uncovered his face and gave his attention to Severus. "Fine. To be clear though. I sit through sex ed, and then I'm allowed to see Samantha, right? I'm not going to be poisoned or anything?" Our Professor tipped his head slowly, cutting his eyes at Harry. "Rest assured, ~Mr. Potter.~ If I were so inclined,~ to poison you, I would not tell you, I planned to do such." Next to me, my partner squirmed uncomfortably. "And, moving right along." I injected, pulling them from the increasingly awkward silence that was stretching between the 2 men. My god-father was the first to speak as he spun a chair around to straddle, arms resting on the desk. "How far along did you both get?" Harry's face darkened considerably and when words weren't forth coming I answered for him. "Just touching and kissing for the most part. Exploring each other. He used one finger inside me while he was eating me out but that's far as it went." Severus heaved a sigh, his discomfort with the whole situation overwhelmingly apparent but he refused to back away. It really was quite sweet the way he worried over me. "Did you have any pain when he penetrated you with his finger?" Once more Harry remained mute, face growing increasingly brighter. "A little, that was with 2 fingers though, and he stopped right away." My god-father nodded, doing his very best at remaining professional through this even though I could tell he was struggling. "Then your hymen is most likely still intact. Are you paying attention, Potter?!" He snapped up nodding rapidly. "Yes Professor!" Severus glared at him for good measure. "The hymen is a thin membrane that usually covers, at least in part, the opening of the vagina and is painful to a woman when broken. There is a way to alleviate that discomfort however and I fully expect you'll use it to the fullest of your abilities. You will wait until she orgasms and penetrate her durning it. Sex, most notably, orgasm, releases as abundance of benificial chemicals into your brain and in most cases the pain can be negated in its entirety. In order to do that you need to familiarize yourself with her body. That may well take several sessions but I won't have you hurting her for your impatience." Uncomfortable as he was, Harry nodded his head and finally managed to contribute something to this conversation other than awkward silence. "I don't want to hurt her either, Professor and I'm OK with just foreplay until I better understand what she needs. I-... There was a spot inside her that she really liked when I touched..." I was certain his face couldn't get any redder as I giggled and reached over to hold his hand. Severus inclined his head. "Its referred to as a Grafenberg spot, or G-spot more commonly and does bring intense pleasure to a woman when utilized correctly. The clitorius is also very sensitive. I trust you were able to find it?" A hint of contempt leaked into his voice and Harry just looked confused. "That little nub you were sucking on at the front of my vagina. It's called a clitorius." He perked up some, nodding. "Yeah, found it just fine." My god-father inclined his head slightly. "Perhaps you aren't a complete lost cause. When becoming intimate do not underestimate the power of foreplay. It's especially important for woman since if they are not moist enough it will cause undo discomfort and can even lead to tearing. I'll share with you something it takes most men quite a while to learn. Woman like sex just as much as us and they're far more willing to participate if they get something out of it. That means ensuring they orgasm as well. You don't just climb onto her and begin having sex. Take the time to warm her up to it and utilize other parts of her beside just reaching down to fumble around her vagina. Most all woman have certain spots placed around their body that garner strong sexual arousal. If not a spot, an action. Such as kissing certain places, biting, hair pulling or a show of dominance or submission, either from yourself or her depending on her personality type or even simply mood. You can quickly learn what these spots and triggers are if you pay attention to your partner. To demonstrate I'll find one on Samantha. Watch her face and the way her chest rises. Fluttering lashes, shuddered eyes, quivering lips, hitched or rapid breathing. Those are all signs that you've found a turn on spot." Fingers gently caught my jaw, drifting down along my neck, to my shoulder before light pressure was applied. A small gasp escaped as his slightly rough fingers gently pinched at my neck until I batted his hands away with a shiver. "She doesn't look like she was enjoying that." Harry said brushing the hair from my eyes as Severus smirked. "You'd be quite wrong, Potter. Right where her neck meets her shoulder is trigger area and placing soft bites there will go a long way in boosting her arousal." Beside me Harry looked quite confused. "You mistake discontent with suppressed excitement. She only dissuaded my advances because she has nothing to do with the pent tension at the moment. If you do not believe me, then try it next time you're learning her frame. I've had a few more years to learn these things than you, young Potter." Hands pressed smoothly against the desk before Severus rose to his feet once more. "I believe that's quite enough for now. You both will be late to dinner if I keep you much longer." His face softened considerably as he regarded me. "Should I expect you to be spending the night with Mr. Potter again?" My chair scratched softly against the floor as I stood from it, slipping from behind the desk to hug my god-father. "Not tonight. I'd like to spend the night with you. I know that you're nervous about me and Harry and I need you to be ok. As much as you've watched over me all this time it's the least I can do." Warm hands cradled the back of my head as he bent to drop a firm kiss onto the top of my head. "That will be very much appreciated. I greatly enjoy the limited time we are able to spend together durning the school year." Curious eyes skittering over us finally made me pull back to regard Harry. "No one else needs to know about him being my god-father. Understand?" Harry nodded slowly as I extricated myself from Severus's warm arms to face my friend. "I understand, Sam. I wish you would have told me sooner though." A heavy sigh whoshed out. "We're not going to get into this. Let's go eat. I'll see you a bit later, Severus. I love you." The smile usual only reserved for when we were alone tugged up his lips and he offered a small wave. "I love you well, Samantha. Enjoy your meal." Harry's fingers entwined in mine, leading me from the room...

Severus POV: The door closed behind us but only just before Zera was busy unfastening my buttons. Slim fingers divulged inside the fabric, and I sighed, scooping her up to sit against my hip as I made my way to my private chambers. Her slightly cool skin felt good against me as I flopped back onto my bed, just letting her to exploring my now bare chest. "Having fun?" A bright grin covered her face in the low light as her fingers tickled along my over heated flesh. "Of course. I enjoy making you feel good, Sev. The satisfaction I recive from getting to touch you is just a bonus." I chuckled softly, wrapping my arm around her shoulders to snuggle her close. "You're going to have me spoiled. I'll not know what to do if you ever decide to move away." Lips pressed soft kisses against my side and I shivered. "I prefer your petting. Please reframe from putting your mouth on me." A flicker of mischief crossed her face and I cut my eyes at her until she chuckled. "Fine fine. I don't want to make you uncomfortable, Sev. Just feeling needy." I sighed, petting over her sides lightly. "Perhaps I should take you to Mr. Potter's room?" Her head shook, hair ticking my chest. "No. I'll be OK. I want to be close to you tonight." My eyes flicked down to her, carefully petting away her hair so I could meet her baby blue ones. A soft smiled played my lips into a subtle curve. "I must say, I enjoy being chosen over your boyfriend." Zera giggled against my chest, fingers petting just a bit more firmly. "I'd always choose you, Severus. You have become the most important person in my life. More so than the blood family I have left and certainly more so than the fling I'm having with Harry, and that's not likely to change." A single brow arched upward toward my hair line and she leaned up, kissing my cheek softly. "I love you, Severus. And I'm honestly not so sure it's a merely a crush anymore... I know I don't have any experience to back it up, but I also know just how I miss you when you're gone. How much I crave your touch and how much it hurts me when you're unhappy. I would do anything you wished of me in a heartbeat and I would lay down my life to save yours." My eyes widened, just watching the girl in my arms. The steadfast conviction written over her face told me just serious she was and a shaky breath rattled my chest as it was drawn in rapidly. "Zera... I honestly don't know what to say." It was true. I could count on one hand the number of times I'd been struck speechless. How was it I had faced down Voldemort and killed him, granted he'd let me, but I hadn't known that at the time. And yet his teenage daughter had me literally trembling with emotion. "You don't have to say anything, Sev. I already know how much I mean to you and that you would always protect me no matter what, even at the cost of your own life. We do love each, just not in the same way. I can accept that because I know you'll always be there. I know there's still a rather large part of you that only regards me as a fickle teenage girl, but I truly hope that you can find your way passed that. I'm far more emotionally sound than any other child, male or female and you need to realize that. It takes a lot of effort not to jump you, Severus. Honestly, I'd much rather it be you to take my virginity than Harry." I swallowed thickly, catching her trailing fingers to keep them pressed to my chest. "Zera you-" Her disappointed look cut me off. "You're doing it a again... I know full well that you have no desire to have sex with me. I'm merely expressing how I feel." Perhaps I hadn't been giving her enough credit. She really was an amazing young woman after all. I was quiet sure any other girl her age would have conceded to a blubbering mess long ago. I knew from experience how hard it was having someone you loved so close and yet not being able to have them. A long sigh whoshed out and I pulled her close, kissing her head firmly. "I will do my best to begin treating you as the young woman you are, Zera. I hope that you'll forgive my thoughtlessness. It's often times hard for me to reconcile the fact that you're nearly grown. I suppose I have become so preoccupied by the little girl who was completely enthralled by my mere presence that I have missed the fact that you've grown. Rest assured, I will do my very best not to allow it to happen again. You are quite literally my entire world, Zera and I would do anything to keep you happy." A soft smile caught her lips and she nuzzled into my side. "Thank you, Sev... I love you." The fingers held captive against my chest smoothed pets over as much skin as she could reach and I kissed her head. "I love you too..."...

Samantha POV: Sara, as usual, was the first to spot me as she played century and the place she'd been lording over like a territorial kitten was patted rapidity. I slid into it quickly and she propped her chin in an open palm, watching me intently. "So.~" She drew. "I've heard several people saying they saw you in Harry's room." Next to me, my bed mate covered his face and I rubbed his arm. "Yes. This time the rumors are at least in some part true. We spent the night together and while we didn't have sex, we did spend quite some time exploring each other." A huge giddy grin spread over her face and she yanked me into a hug. "My little girl is growing up!!" The squeal garnered a flurry of attention as heads turned to regard us before inevitably going back to their breakfast. "OK, firstly, we're the same age, Flufflepuff, not to mention I'm bigger than you. Secondly, me and Harry aren't boyfriend and girlfriend. We are friends and will remain such. But there's no one else that I feel confident in exploring this with." A blush colored her cheeks and Harry nudged me, bringing my attention to him since Sara seemed in no great hurry to add anything more to our conversation. *How did it go with Snape? Didn't give you hard time, did he?* He asked and I smiled. *No. Despite how he puts on a cold mask durning class he is really very sweet when he has me alone. He's honestly an amazing god-father, Harry. I guarantee no one else would cater to me the way he does.* A sigh escaped my friend and he squeezed my hand. *I'm glad. I hope soon you'll decide you can trust me to tell me who you're patents are and stop lying. Honestly, that kinda hurts Sam...* The plate I'd been filling paused over a platter of home fries before being sat down so I could regard him properly. *I never lied to you Harry. Until just a few year's ago I had no idea who my parents were. Or that Severus was my god-father for that matter. Since finding out I merely did not make you aware of the change in status. But I never lied to you. I did not want you knowing about Severus because I knew you would insist on talking about it and I'm just not ready to tell you about my parents yet. I love you, Harry, and I don't want you to look at me differently. So please. Just let it go.* He really didn't want to, that was quite clear, but with a sigh, he inclined his head. *Alright Sam. I'm sorry, I just hate to see you so upset. Just know that, no matter who they were, I wouldn't treat you any different. You're my friend and it's not as if you could control who your parents are or what they did. I'll be here when ever you're ready to talk, Sam. Don't forget that. Ok?* Our eyes caught and he brushed my hair away so he could see me better as I sighed. *I'll Remember, Harry. Thank you for not pressing.* He rolled his shoulder in a half shrug. *No problem. You coming back to my room tonight?* A light smirk played with my lips, making him blush. *I would very much enjoy that, Harry. Come on, we should eat before classes start.* He nodded, returning attention to his half empty plate as I resumed filling mine...

Severus watched me closely as I shifted against my seat and I knew he at least expected that I'd finally, after almost a month, because of his insistence, had sex with Harry. I hadn't been prepared for being this sore the morning after though. "Are you OK Sam? You look like your uncomfortable." My head bobbed, doing my best at fighting back my cringe as Sara looked me over. "I'm OK. Really." The subtle way her eyes cut at me, left me know she was having none of my fibs. "You're a bad lair, Samantha." That was untrue. I was ordinarily a very good lair. I just wasn't so good at hiding my pain. "Tell me what's wrong." I sighed, finally stabbing the potato I'd been chasing around my plate to give it a disgruntled look. "Just a stomach ache." She looked at me hard and it was only a book landing on the top of my head that broke her gaze. "My office, Reilly." The book holding me down was snatched away and I heaved a sigh before climbing from under the table to follow my god-father who already had a substantial lead on me...

The heavy door to his office was open as he stood back, allowing me entry first before shutting it behind us. " Am I to assume that I'm correct in my guess that yourself and Mr. Potter have indeed become intimate?" I sighed, inclining my head to him. "Yeah. We had sex last night. Didn't expect it to hurt this morning though." A small kettle found its home above an open flame on his desk before it's drawer slid out smoothly. The top was lifted away and a small bag was dropped into it to simmer. A strong arm slipped around my waist and I was lifted from my feet. Not for long however as he stepped around his desk and carefully arranged me to straddle his lap once he took his chair. Fingers drifted over my back and I mewed at the change in temperature. Heat began seepping into my belly as well. He was so warm and felt so good as I laid there. His over heated frame quickly acted was a hot compress against my aching belly, helping in no small part to ease the cramps. "Your body will adjust and in the mean time, this will soothe the ache." Just his body heat was doing that by itself without what ever he was brewing, but I knew I couldn't very well hang off him like a leech all day. "Thanks Sev... I feel a lot better even since I've been here. You're like my own personal heater." He chuckled softly, pulling me just a bit more snugly to him so I could soak up more warmth. Well kept hair tickled my face as he leaned his forehead against mine, far too close to really see me. For a long moment he just stayed right there and my eyes fluttered closed, just enjoying the feeling of him pressed into me. "I trust Mr. Potter was able to perform adequately enough that you were spared most of your discomfort last night? The question asked so suddenly made me jump a bit and I realized that I'd been nodding off. "Oh, yeah. Harry did OK, just sore this morning..." Severus hummed lightly, pets growing a bit more firm against my back. "I believe you'll find the pain to be much less next time, unless of course he becomes too rough with you, in which case he shall go missing without a trace." A snort of laughter escaped and I nuzzled against his neck, drawing in his bitter leathery scent. It was such an odd smell, yet one that drew me in like nothing ever had and I couldn't get enough of it. Most days his scent was all but lost under the vapor of potions from class and it was a rare occasion that I got to smell him before they adhered to his skin. Even showering didn't always remove their fragrance but, I supposed, they were just as much a part of him as his own scent after so long. It wasn't as if they smelled badly, most of the time anyhow, just different. Severus sat forward and I could hear the glass lid be uncovered from the tea kettle before a steaming mug was placed in my hands with the upmost care. Sugar was spooned into it before I was allowed to take the spoon for my own. "What is it?" My nose drew in the steam finding it to be quite an odd smell. A sort of bitter mint. "Birch bark and Valerian root. It will alleviate your discomfort." My brows furrowed, staring into the greenish yellow liquid for a second longer before I decided to stop acting like a child. This was going to make me feel better and I was scared to drink it because it may taste badly. A small sip was taken from my cup to find that, while not my first choice in beverage, it wasn't nearly as awful as I'd convinced myself it would be. "Just take it slow. It will take a few minutes to work but you should feel much better in time for your first class." Fingers brushed away my hair so it wasn't getting in my drink as my god-father watched me intently. For several minutes we sat there in mostly quite with him finding various little places to play pets along while I sipped my mug empty. I did feel a lot better now and I kissed his cheek as the mug was sat down. "Thank you, Severus. I'm really glad you're my dad." He smiled, catching my face to pull me down so he could press several firm kisses to my forehead. "I'm glad you're my daughter, Zera. I trust that you're feeling better now?" I nodded and he helped me from his lap, making sure I had my feet before he let me go. A shiver ran through me at the sudden change in temperature and he chuckled at me. "Come on, we both have classes that need tending and you shall not be late." A warm hand caught mine and I tucked myself back into his side, just enjoying the last few moments I had before we were needed else where...

I grunted as yet another person shoved me roughly as they ran by and I finally decided to follow to find out just what was going on... Ahead of me, a crowd stretched and I caught Hermione near the back. She jumped under my hand and Draco was at my side almost instantly. "What's going on?" Her books were clutched closer and she glanced nervously through the other students toward where a very distraught looking woman was standing. "That's Bellatrix Lestrange! She's

broken out of Azkaban and is demanding to see the child she had with you know who! Could you imagine!? Someone that awful going to school with us?!" My heart sank, and Draco swatted her with a hand full of papers. "Can't you ever just keep your mouth closed Granger?!" She looked quite shocked at being hit but I turned away, taking a shaky breath. "Sam you-" "Not now Draco. Just... Not now." His hand froze, half way to me before falling back to his side. "I'll go with you." I didn't bother answering. Harry looked quite shocked and I knew he had already figured it out. He made to say something but I cut him off with a hand, no good could come of what ever he was about to say anyhow. A deep breath was sucked in and I finally began picking my way through the crowd until I emerged out the other side. Severus was standing in line with the other Professors in defense of this new threat. He didn't miss me though and caught my arm before I could get passed him. "You do not have to go out there." "Yes I do. I've hidden far too long already. Let me go, Severus." My arm was snatched away even though there was little I'd like better than to hide in his robes at the moment. "HA! There's my girl!" My mother threw her arms open as not so hushed gasped chased chatter behind me. My feet froze against the grass for a moment, and it took every ounce of effort I had to make them move once more. Several yards ahead of me, my mother paced back and forth like a dog at the end of its fence even though there was nothing stopping her from coming toward me. Each step became harder to take than the last until I finally was just in front of her. Just out of reach and it only added to her increasingly distraught toe touching just forward from her place. As if she couldn't take even one step nearer to me. "Please come here!!" My chest rattled on a sharp intake of air before I spoke. "Don't not take me from here." Her head nodded rapidly and it was only with the greatest of force that I managed to close the distance between us. Arms snapped tightly around me, dragging me bodily against her chest as hands raced frantically over my frame as if she didn't know which part to inspect first. They caught my face suddenly, dark brown eyes catching mine as she roughly petted back my hair. "You look so much like me! Except your eyes! You have your fathers eyes!" Thumbs brushed over them and I was finally able to relax just slightly when she kissed all over my face. For all my fretting, this wasn't nearly so bad as I feared, even though I was likely to lose most of my friends over it. "Oh you have no idea how I missed you Zera! You are the only thing that kept me from going completely insane in there!" My feet lost contact with the ground as she lifted me up and I finally hugged her back. "I missed having a mother..." Arms tightened almost painful around me before I was allowed to stand on my own once more. "Its OK! I'm here now! I'm free and I'll be there just was much as I'm able!!" Fingers returned to my face once more and I finally saw just how terrible she looked. As if she hadn't slept in months. Sickly pale skin outlined dark purple bags under her eyes and I reached up to touch them only to have my hands caught and kissed more times than I could count. Against my fingers her lips were scratchy and appeared to have been bitten through more than a few times upon closer inspection. The joy in her eyes suddenly turned to heartbreak and she clung tighter to me, teeth catching her already torn lower lip. A deep burning anger settled in her and it was enough to start me trying to pull away. Sadness followed quickly after wards and she tried to soothe me. "I'm not angry at you! I have to go! I will see you again though! I swear! You watch her!! You hear me, Severus?!! You watch my girl!! If anything happens to her to her I'll kill you!!" Several steps were lost back, taking her from my arms as she covered her mouth with a hand, watching me with tears pooling behind her eyes before suddenly, she vanished. My legs wobbled but Draco must have noticed because he slipped an arm under mine, keeping me from sinking to my knees. "Its OK, it's going to be ok. I won't let anyone bother you and neither will Severus." A sharp breath was sucked in and I leaned almost entirely into my cousin, using him to keep me up as he began walking us back toward the crowd that skittered back, eyes wide. All but Harry, who jogged several yards toward me and I swallowed hard, wondering if he would try to hurt me for not telling him before now. He didn't look angry though, but his posture expressed a great deal of nervousness as he rubbed the back of his head. "Ah... Sam I-..." He groaned, hand falling to his side as it upturned. "...At least you didn't get his nose." He said at last and my eyes fluttered slightly wider. Of all the things he could have said or did, I never expected him to make light of it. A sharp bark of laughter accompanied a wash of tears and I cleared the space between us to hug him tightly. Arms caught me, and he smoothed over my back as I used his chest to hide my tears. "Thank you, Harry! Thank you so much!" His grip tightened some and he blew out a breath. "I told you, Sam. I don't care what your parents did. You're my friend, and they don't reflect on you. Come on. Let's go talk where we can be alone." I nodded against his chest, letting him dry my tears with his sleeve before leading me away from the prying eyes of others...

My feet carefully picked their way across the rough rocks next to the lake before plopping heavily onto a larger flat slab of stone. Harry joined me only a second later and wrapped an arm around me snugly. "I'm really glad you're still here, Harry... I was scared to lose you." Soft eyes turned to me and he pushed back my hair to meet mine. "Honestly I suspected for a while. Not exactly that your father would be Voldemort, but that your parents had been followers of his. Guess I know why you were so upset that day you meet my dad... Are you OK? I know you didn't want anyone to know about this." My legs pulled up to my chest, arms winding around them as I rested my chin on my knee. "Honestly... I don't know... I'm quite sure not everyone will be as understanding as you are. Everything I've worked so hard at putting together was just shattered. The weirdest part is, I'm glad. Until today I couldn't even remember what my mom looked like Harry. I got to see my dad in Severus's memory. Dumbledore showed me... He wasn't all bad you know. My dad... He did bad things, truly awful things, but at the end of his life he did find it in him to love. Severus killed him. He let Severus kill him. Because of me... He wanted to know about my future so he had a seer make a prophecy. It said that I would be killed if he lived... So he... Didn't..." My chest quivered on a breath and Harry squeezed me tightly, hiding his shock as best he could in order to comfort me. "Severus thought it would be better for me to grow up away from all this though, and he was probably right. That's what made me blind. At least Jazz says so. Because I had to watch him kill my dad, I couldn't cope and I shut down. It's all in my head, but, even knowing that, I don't know that I'll ever see on my own..." Silence fell between us as my friend struggled to find words and I turn my attention to the water. The lake stretched out before us, shimmering with the intricately dazzling sunset. Small ripples played in the dying light, dancing the pink and orange rays against its glassy surface as I fought to stay in control of my scattered emotions... "My mom was scared..." I said after nearly half an hour of more or less comfortable quite and Harry jumped, apparently not ready for me to speak. "Someone was there, and they scared her..." The burn of eyes flickered over me following my suddenly speech, and he finally said something. "There were a lot of teachers there." My head shook. "No, it wasn't them. Maybe part of it, but she kept half looking behind her and it must have been them that made her leave." This time he looked concerned. "Do you think everything is ok? I mean, your mom is no weak woman, and if someone can scare her, Dumbledore needs to know." I heaved a sigh, glancing his way as my cheek rested on my knee. "Yeah, you're probably right." Even though I knew that, I couldn't bring myself to move just yet. "Hey. I'm not going to let anyone bother you, Sam." Fingers entwined in mine, tugging lightly and I finally followed him away from the lake...

An enraged snarl tickled my ears and I blew out a sigh as I recognized it to be Severus. The next turn confirmed to my eyes what my ears already knew and I picked up my pace. My uncle was slammed bodily against the wall, feet leaving the floor to dance in the air Severus lifted him by his throat "Put him down!" My snap brought both their attention to me and my god-father's hand finally uncurled from Lucias's neck, letting him stagger when he hit the floor. "He is!-" "Not responsible for my mother showing up here. I do not know how she got out, but it was not his doing, Severus. I need to speak with Dumbledore, uncle Lucias, I'd prefer you come with me until Severus can get a handle on his temper." He nodded, quick stepping my way as he rubbed at his abused throat. There would no doubt be bruising there tomorrow given the angry red hand print burned into his flesh. "I could not help, but over hear, that you wanted to speak with me." Sounded the slightly raspy yet kind voice of the headmaster behind me. "Yes. We may have an issue." He lowered his head to look at me over the top of his glasses. "Perhaps, my office would be a more fitting place, to have this conversation?" A deep sigh whoshed from my lungs and I nodded, following him when he turned to walk away...

The door closed behind Severus just slightly more gently than being slammed as his eyes weighted heavily on me. "What is it that you think is wrong, Samantha?" Harry shuffled closer to my side, nudging me when I didn't answer right away. "When my mother was here, she was scared, and not of any of you. Who ever had her spoked was off behind her some ways and I'm worried that they may come back." Severus stiffened next to me, unease leaking into his usual relaxed posture. "I see. And, who else knows about her being, your mother? I'm too assume, that she was under their control after all, so it only is fitting, that they were aware, and brought her for a reason." My head shook some, glancing around the room. "I haven't told anyone else. I just can't figure out how someone else could have.-" My eyes widened suddenly, fingers going slack next to my side. "Zera? What is it?" "No he-... Fucking hell!" Severus spun me around to face him, looking quite on edge. "Jazz! That's the only person I can think of that knows and is crazy enough to do something like this!" My god-father drew back some. "I didn't think you told him?" I snarled, fingers tightening into a white knuckled grip at my sides. "I didn't! But he's probably in the school right now! And he's got this whole bloody place bugged with cameras! He is the only one that could have gotten my mother out of Azkaban! She could have-... No... That's why she was scared!... That thing on her neck! It was Pincer!" Dumbledore looked quite surprised, though so did everyone else. "The Cybertronian centipede?" Severus asked and I nodded sharply. "They're able to link up with human systems by biting into the base of your neck! One word from Jazz and he would have severed her spinal cord. He was right there!" Several looks were traded around the room and I groaned, sinking down into the nearest chair. "Unfucking believable... That bloody mech is a menace!" Severus breathed out a sigh, relaxing some as he patted my shoulder. "That may be, but at least we know that there isn't a threat now. Jazz has proven himself quite capable of handling himself and managing to gather control over your mother is testament to that. He'll be ok." A half glare was tossed his way. "Its not Jazz I worry for! He makes a game out of torturing people like my mother to death and for all I know that was only him filling her last request! I need to go home! Now!!" My god-father nodded sharply, leading me at a quick pace off the grounds so we could aparate back to my house... The door flung open and I ran inside, only to find my mom on the couch. She jumped up when she saw me and the relief nearly made me fall. It was only by Severus's quick reaction that I managed to stay off the floor until my mother drug me into her arms. "Jazz told me you'd come looking before long!" I hugged her back tightly, just thankful to see her. "I had to make sure he didn't kill you!" A low chuckle sounded from across the room and Jazz stood from the chair. "Naw lil lady. Woulda sure made meh night taking apart something pretty as her, but ah know ya need yer mom. Took ya longer than ah thought to figure it out. Maybe yer losing yer touch." A grumble was given in his direction as he made his way over to kiss my head. Scary as the mech was, he was still a hell of a good guardian...

Sunshine coiled tighter around my neck, hissing loudly as she feed off my discontent at being stared at. It was clearly bothering her as well and the area I sat had quickly become almost completely empty. The only people who dared sit near me were Harry and Draco. Even my perpetually bubbly Flufflepuff had opted keep several spaces between us. She kept looking my way but refused to move any closer. My fork clicked down onto the plate and I heaved a sigh, sweeping my eyes around the room. The hushed whispers died as my gaze passed over them and they finally looked away. Draco jumped up suddenly, hands slamming onto the table hard enough to make it jump. "What are you all looking at!!? Take a bloody picture!! It'll last longer!!" The others at least had the audacity to look repentant as they snapped their gaze from me. "I'm OK Draco. I knew it would be like this when I went out there to see her. This year is almost over anyhow, then only one more. I can get by until then." A hand landed on my shoulder suddenly, making me look up to Severus. "You 3. Come with me." My plate was taken from in front of me and he held out his hand to help me up before leading me away from the prying eyes of others...

I sagged in relief once I reached his office and he picked me, going to our usual chair where I was sat on his knee. "Thank you Sev... I really hope they move on soon, but I know they aren't likely to. It's only going to get worse when word gets out to the parents. Dumbledore is probably already enduring the back lash of this..." My Professor sighed, fingers running up and just behind my left breast to a spot that usually helped to relax me. "This is not, by any stretch of the imagination, going to be easy on you, Zera. I think perhaps it might be best, if you continue your schooling back at home." I shook my head. "I'm no quitter, Severus." A half smile caught his lips before it fell into sadness in short order. "Zera. Many of the parents have already found out about your being Voldemort's daughter and are threatening to remove their children if Dumbledore does not have you taken from the school. I know you aren't a quitter, but under the circumstances, I feel it best that I take you home." His eyes held mine and my fist tightened around my fork, before forcing down a thick swallow. "Um, yeah... I mean. I learn better with you anyhow, and this way I can stick close, right?" Over warm lips pressed firmly against my forehead. "I'm sorry Zera... I never wanted this for you." A shaky breath was pulled in and I spun around in his lap so I could hug him. "I know, Severus... It's not your fault. I wish he would have waited until I graduated... When do I need to go?" My god-father pushed me back some, brushing the hair from my eyes as he kissed my head. "Just as soon as you finish eating. It will be better this way and it will give you much more time to spend with me." The edges of his lips twitched into a smirk and I pushed him lightly at the truthful joke. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. It would be nice have him to myself full time. "I'll go get my things. Thank you, Severus." He inclined his head. "I would much rather spend my time with you than near a hundred other teenage girls that are fighting their hormones and scribbling my last name after their instead of paying attention." His pout was just too much and I giggled madly. "You better be nice, I may not have scribbled but I've done my fair share of looking." Harry snapped his eyes to me. "What?! Professor Snape?!" Severus leveled him with a firm look. "Make no mistake, Potter. Just because she has a crush on me, doesn't mean I am interested in her the same capacity as you. I simply do not dissuade her feelings with the understanding that she will not over step boundaries. She is a child, and there is nothing going on." A sharp breath escaped and I slid from his lap onto my feet. "I better go get ready. Dumbledore knows that you're coming with me correct?" My Professor nodded once. "He suggested it and you will still graduate, you just won't have the ceremony in school." Draco stepped behind me, hands touching my arms lightly. "I'll help you get everything ready... I'm sorry this happened." My head tipped, meeting his eyes as I leaned back into him. "Its OK. This could work out better. I am going to miss you though." Fingers combed back my hair lightly. "I'm going to miss you too, but I'll come by to see you when ever I can. Promise. Come on. Best to get moving before parents start showing up." Draco pushed me lightly, and I willingly followed his lead from my god-father's office...

Feet shuffling quickly behind me took my attention from Draco to a very nervous looking Sara. She stopped several yards away and looked for all the world like she expected to be struck dead at any second. Hands balled in front of her chest in a clear attempt to shield herself from me and I turned away from the fear I saw in her eyes. "Not now, Sara. Just go. She's already upset enough." She shuffled closer. "Sam... I don't!-" Her words broke on a whimper before suddenly she was clinging to my back. Small arms encircled my waist as she cried into my robe. I heaved a sigh, just letting her hold me for a long few moments. Professor McGonagall rounded the corner ahead of us, and stopped for only a second before making her way to me. The fear and nervousness I saw in near everyone else's eyes was missing in her's as she put a hand on my shoulder, bending slightly to look at me. "Are you OK Miss. Reilly?" I inclined my head. "As much as I can be given the current situation. Thank you, Professor." There was a sadness in her eyes that I hadn't seen before and after a second she pulled me into a hug, bringing Sara with when she refused to let go. "I am very sorry." Warm hands cupped both cheeks when she pulled back and I leaned into the contact. "Its probably for the best. I do learn a lot more just on summer break than here anyhow. Severus is very good at teaching one on one." A light sad smile crossed her face. "Then he will be going with you?" I nodded. "Yes. Since he told me a few years ago of being my god-father, he has spent the off times at my home. I'm sure he'll return here once I've finished my final year." Draco nudged me and I glanced to where he was to see my god-father making his way toward me. "Have you gathered everything?" I nodded, forcefully pulling myself from Sara's arms as she whimpered. "Don't go! Please Sam, I'm sorry!" Finally after much wiggling I managed to get free and hold her at arms length. "This has nothing to do with you, Flufflepuff. You need to compose yourself and clear away those tears." "But you're like my big sister! And you're leaving me!" She wailed loudly, trying her best to grab me. Severus caught the back of her robe though, pushing her toward McGonagall. "Enough. Come Zera." Sara whimpered loudly and I sighed, dropping a hand on her head to rough up her hair as big tears leaked down her face. "You will just have to get by without me for the remainder of your stay, then, should you wish, you may move in with me." Tear filled eyes widened and I wiped at them. "You really mean that?!" I nodded lightly, catching her hand to squeeze. "I really mean that. But for right now, I must go. I shall see you at another time." A fist balled up, scrubbing roughly at tears as she sniffled back as many as she could. Severus let her go, holding out his hand to me and I cuddled into his side quickly. "Its going to be ok." He soothed, leading me away...

Time skip

Severus POV: A deep breath left my lungs as I stared at the ceiling, memorizing the pattern of knots in the stained cherry. Small fingers twitched against my chest as Zera tense up on a inward stretch that curled her into a tight little ball. Hair tickled my side and I smoothed it down until her eyes came mine. "Morning, Sev." A soft smile curved my lips and I held her a bit more snugly. "Good morning, Zera. I trust you're finally ready to get up?" Her head bobbed, soft cheek rubbing over my peck she was using as a pillow. "I'm hungry..." Bright eyes flickered up to mine and I chuckled, pulling her into my arms to sit us both up. "I'm quite sure that Maria will have breakfast fixed before long. Come on." Her feet landed on the floor and she groaned, arching backwards until her hands pressed flush to the floor. The thin night shirt she wore fell up to pool around her breast as her middle rose toward the ceiling. Smooth lightly tanned skin was exposed and my hand moved on its own to graze over her taught flesh. Her belly jumped into my touch, a small mew being drawn from its owner. Her skin was so soft under my fingers and I relished in the feeling for a few seconds longer before forcing myself to pull away, much to her discontent. Why was it that I found my self increasingly unable to keep my hands to myself around her? Perhaps my loneliness was finally getting the better of me, though somehow I doubted that. No, truth be told it was almost assuredly because the little girl I had raised was gone. In her place was a beautiful young woman that still demanded to spend just as much time laying on or next to me as I'd allow. "Why'd you stop? I like belly rubs too Severus." She pouted, finally righting herself to straddle my lap. Behind my boxers my cock jumped to attention and I sat her to the side. "I need to use to restroom, and you need to shower as well." She huffed, leaning over me to cuddle for a moment longer until I finally forced myself away from her. Cold shower it was yet again...

Samantha was already sitting at the table with Potter munching on some toast when I came down and it hung from her mouth as she waved at me. Maria sat down a plate in our shared spot and Zera hoped up, letting me slid in under her. "Hard to believe that schools out already." Mr. Potter said, looking at me and I nodded. "Yes, time has seemed to go very quickly. I'm sure that Zera will very much enjoy having your attention again." He grinned, looking to her as she stole an egg from my plate. "Hell yes! I was about going crazy!" She said, wiggling against my leg. I managed to bite back my groan, but only just before I caught her hips. "Stop your squiggling." Surprised eyes turned me before a sheepish blush covered her face. "Um, sorry about that. Wasn't thinking about what it might be doing to you, Sev." A sigh whoshed from my lungs and I flipped my robe over my lap when she hoped down. "Wait... What happened?" Zera pulled a face toward Potter. "I was grinding against his leg, what you think happened?" His cheeks darkened several shades as he promptly looked away from me. "Don't look so flustered, it's not as if he can control that anymore than you can. Now hurry up. I'm horny and I'm not in the mood to wait." The young man still looked rather embarrassed as he hurriedly finished off his meal before leading her away...

My eyes narrowed on Potter as he looped an arm around Zera and kissed her. It shouldn't bother me, but it did and I found it increasingly more difficult to maintain control around the younger man. My dislike hadn't gone unnoticed either, and Zera's distance was only adding to my frustration. For the last few months she had been distancing herself from me, since Mr. Potter had graduated, or close to it. A giddy laugh sounded from her and my fist clenched, anger I didn't recall having bubbling up inside. Before I even knew I what I doing, the table between us was behind me and I had Mr. Potter by the back of his shirt, dragging him away. Zera tried to follow but a firm look stopped her. "You stay here!" Lashes fluttered open a bit wider and she backed several steps, swallowing thickly as I shoved Potter down the hall in front of me. He struggled only until I snarled and finally picked up his pace to match mine so he wasn't being shoved, even though I still did my best to push him every chance I got. It was childish I knew, but at the moment I wanted to do more than push him. "What is wrong with you?!" "Walk!" I snapped, hand shoving his shoulder when he tried to turn. He stumbled and I caught his arm so he didn't end up getting hurt before continuing to push him down the hall. Finally at the end I let him stop and he glared at me. "I want you to leave Zera alone!" His fist balled at his side and he stared me down. "She is her own woman and if she wants to be left alone then I'll do so. But that's for her to tell me, not you." My eyes narrowed, backing him against the wall to pin him with my glare. "~Do not tempt me,~ Mr. Potter! You will do as I say!" My hand snatched the front of his shirt, yanking him to just a breath away. A hint of nerves crossed his face that quickly turned to anger. "I honestly don't know what your issue is, Professor! Are you jealous?! She's your god-child, not your girlfriend! She's not even 19 yet and doesn't need someone twice her age!" Air hissed through my clenched teeth as I glowered at the young man in my grip. Why it that those words hurt so much? He snatched his shirt from my hand, putting several steps between us as he looked away. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have.-" "Shut up." I couldn't stay here, I'd just end making things worse. The house flickered away as I aparated to the castle, quickly making my way down into my chambers to be alone...

Samantha POV: My brows knitted together as I finally searched the last room I could think of in search of Severus. I hadn't seen him since yesterday, and Harry seemed to be avoiding me as well. Something must have happened between the two of them. A last despondent look was given to the empty room before I decided to wait on one or both of them in the kitchen. Severus had missed breakfast and I highly doubted he'd be absent for lunch as well... I was proven wrong, and now I was quite worried. Harry had finally come out of hiding but my god-father still remained to be seen. The fact he was refusing meals when he was always hungry made my stomach knot up and I snatched Harry's arm, when he stepped close enough. "What happened?! Where is Severus?!" He winced away from me and I knew what ever he had done wasn't going to be too my liking. "Harry Potter you tell me what you said this instant!" The arm I was holding pulled away and he wiped down his face even though there was nothing there. "You're not here all the time, Sam! He bullies me when you're not around!" My eyes narrowed. "What, did you do?!" Fingers came to rest in his hair, tangling to hang onto the side of his head. "I told him he was jealous and that you didn't need someone that old..." My eyes widened, yanking back from him. "Harry you... You said that to him?!!" My fist balled up at my sides and he tried to catch me. "Don't touch me!!" His eyes widened, fingers hanging between us. "Samantha, I'm sorry!" Several steps were taken my way and he grabbed my arm. I snapped, a sharp slap ringing through the room. The stinging hand clenched tightly as I took in the angry red hand print across my friends face until he reached up to touch it. "We're done!" My chest hitched, and I spun around, aparating away to calm down. My private room at the midnight sun surrounded me and I breathed out a sigh, taking a moment to collect myself before stepping out. Katelyn noticed me before I made it to the first landing and she hurried up to me. "How on earth did you sneak by me?!" A menu was tucked into my arm and she smiled. "I'll go get Pierre!" I nodded my thanks, turning to head back up to my room. It was only a few minutes later that Pierre pranced over and lifted me into his arms to spin me in circles. "Oh Pierre... I'm having a really bad day. Please, could you get me wine, chocolate, and something with a face to chew on?" He gushed over me, setting me back down in my seat. "You really shouldn't drink dear, but I suppose if you really want me to, I'll get it for you." I inclined my head. "I really want you to. I promise not to make a habit of it until I'm 21, but I really need something right now." A large hand cupped my cheek before he hurried to get the items I requested...

The door opened once more and a tray was spread out between us just before I was lifted from my seat and sat on his lap so he could cuddle me. "We have tiramisu, shrimp, steak and my favorite wine! Now you sit right here and tell Pierre all about it! What happened to my girlfriend?!" I heaved a sigh, picking up a spoon so I could eat my dessert. "Well, you know that I like Severus." He hummed. "Of course. I know he likes you too girl. I don't think he knows just how much he likes you though." My head bobbed, scuffing up chocolate mousse to let it melt against my tongue. "Well, Harry told him that he was too old and that I didn't need him." Pierre gasped. "Oh girl! He did not!" "He did! And Severus left! I haven't seen him since last night and I know that he was upset because he didn't come back for breakfast or lunch!" Fingers petted through my hair, undoing the tangles as he bounced me on his knee. "I can't even! Men can be so insensitive! We girls have to stick together! Oh I hope Severus will be ok! I know he loves you so much!" He gushed, filling a glass to the top with a deep, almost bloody colored wine. "Here! We can share this." It touched my lips and I sipped at it. It smelled quite sweet, but carried a slight bitter taste that covered the alchohol quite nicely. "That is very good Pierre. Thank you." He nodded, fingers continuously petting over my hair until I finally relaxed. Another long draw was taken from the crystal glass before I handed it to him to drink, turning back to my dessert. "Would you mind if I take that with me?" The deep Burgundy bottle was slid closer to me before he held out the cup so I could drink again. "Sure thing, Sammy. Just promise me you won't over due it. One glass like this half full will be plenty for your tiny little frame." I smiled swirling the glass in my hands when he let me hold it. The shimmering liquid danced behind the beveled crystal, and kept turning even after my fingers stilled. "I was actually asking for Severus. I'm sure he could use something right about now." It clicked softly against the table when I sat it back down. "Oh of course. And you tell him he better be coming to see me soon too!" The first hints of a smile since my god-father came up missing crossed my face and I slumped backwards into my Teddy bear. "I really lost control just before I left and I'll have to apologize later." Pierre flicked his eyes down from where he towered over me, even sitting. "What happened?" A snort puffed up my lips and I picked one of the swirled chocolate shavings from my mousse, placing it onto my tongue to melt. "I slapped Harry... I didn't mean to! But I was so angry and I told him not to touch me because I knew I'd snap! But he grabbed me anyhow and it ended just as I knew it would." My elbow fell roughly onto the table as I leaned forward to wash down my chocolate with more wine before snatching a shrimp from its skewer. "Oh girl don't even bother! No means no! Don't you let no man put his hands on you if you don't want them there!" My giant yet remarkably sweet guardian chided lightly as I ate. "He was only worried and upset. That's the first time he's seen me mad and he really just wanted to help. I just wasn't in any mood to accept it after what he said. I guess I'm partially to blame too because I knew that Severus was jealous. Honestly having him get all angry and pick at Harry when he thought I couldn't see was thrilling. I've never had a man get possessive over me as he did and it's exciting. It made me feel good to have someone want me like that. Probably really annoyed Harry and that's why he snapped, but things never got bad! It was just petty stuff like making him get up and go somewhere else to sit even if it was someplace that Severus didn't want to be. He wanted it because Harry was there and he made sure he got it too. He'd purposefully take his towel from the bathroom and anytime he saw him he'd just reach out and smack the back of his head. I should have stepped in but in all likely hood he probably hadn't even figured out just why he was angry at Harry. For as smart that man is he has blind spot a mile long when it comes to his own emotions. I just assumed that he'd figure them out on his own and confront me in his own time. Didn't work out so well though..." The spoon scraped bottom, clicking softly against the smooth bowl before I licked it clean for the last time. Over me, Pierre sighed exaggeratedly and rested his chin lightly atop of my head. "Sounds like you have quite the mess to resolve, girl. But you know I live for drama like this!" He gushed and I chuckled, catching his much larger hand to squeeze. My fingers barely fit around it and while I was admittedly on the short side, I still found his size quite comforting. Him and Ben were both huge and weren't above using their size as an intimidation threat if they thought I was being harassed in any way. All they had to do was stand behind me and who ever the perceived threat happened to be, moved along quickly. "Are you OK now, girl?" I nodded, leaning back away from the table as he let me. "Yes Pierre. Thank you very much for letting me steal you away from work for a few moments." A big hand waved me off as he helped me to my feet once more. "Girl you know I'm here for you anytime! All you gotta do is tell me! Now perk up that pretty face of yours and go to that man before he works himself into a tizzy!" A bright smile played up my lips and I hugged him tightly before finally going to face Severus...

Severus POV: The fire flickering away in front of me did no more to still my scattered thoughts than brewing potions or my failed attempt at reading. My door squeaked slightly and I tightened my fingers against the smooth arms of the chair. I had made it quite clear I wasn't too be bothered. "You know, Harry's views don't reflect on me." My eyes widened, spinning around to see Zera making her way up to me with a dark colored bottle in her hands. "Thought you might need this." It was half empty by the look of it and I narrowed my eyes. "Don't give me that look. I'm not drunk, I just needed to calm down. Sev. You know how I feel about you, so why let something stupid said out of anger get you so upset? Harry had no right to say those things to you, but honestly, you're over reacting." My jaw clenched, snatching away the bottle to down half its contents in a long drag. It was very good I noted, and the alcohol was covered almost completely. Zera rounded to my front, a knee talking home on either side of my waist so she was straddling my lap. "What are you doing?..." A light smile curved her lips and she leaned forward, touching them to mine. They were so soft and I sucked in a sharp breath, pressing into her kiss before I could think better of it. A warm tongue darted to touch my lower lip and I groaned, fingers fumbling to recork the bottle and set it down before falling to her waist. A sharp intake parted her lips and I took full advantage to deepen our kiss. The sweet taste of wine and chocolate still clung to her lips and I knew she could feel my cock jump to attention against her leg. The thin fabric separating us suddenly seemed as if it were miles thick. She ground down against me and I gasped, finally wrestling back some semblance of control over myself once more. A startled sob was pulled from her as I pushed her backwards to hold at arms length. "Zera I-... You're so young." Annoyance crossed her face and she batted away the hands keeping her from climbing back into my lap. "Severus. I am almost 19 years old. I am quite capable of making my own decisions." Fingers found purchase against my chest, working free the buttons there one by one and I couldn't for the life of me make her stop. "Mr. Potter.-" "Is only a friend that I've been fucking. And I'm not even doing that anymore." Cool digits splayed over my burning skin and I hissed at the temperature change. "I shouldn't feel this way. You're my little girl..." Teeth nipped at my neck. "I'm not a little girl anymore, Severus. You know that as well as I do." My shirt was pushed down my arms, fluttering to the floor as it gave up hold on my wrists. Lips kissed over my throat and a sharp breath hissed between clenched teeth. "Please Severus... I know you want me..." She whispered and I caught her hips, the haze of alcohol already beginning to cloud my mind. "I sincerely hope you'll not regret this in the morning..." Cool breaths tickled my ear before her tongue traced its shell. "Please. I've been waiting to get you like this since I was 14. I'm not likely to change my mind after all this time." I groaned as her fingers tickled down over my middle, petting the light path of hair leading under my trousers. "You've been drinking..." A soft snort blew at my hair. "I've had 4 sips. I'm hardly drunk, Severus. Maybe you need to be though. Drink." The Burgundy bottle was taken from the table and pushed into my hands for me to once more half its contents. A deep breath was sucked in as my lips left the bottle and Zera took it back, taking a much smaller sip before handing it to me once more. "You need to relax. Finish that and stop over thinking this." My fingers took back our shared drink and I drained it. "You're certain that you want to do this?" A miffed pout was directed at me before my trousers were unfastened. "I'm quite certain, Severus. You have no idea just how much I've wanted this for so long." My hands caught her hips despite myself as she began pulling away. Even though I was quite concerned about her having reservations over our intimacy, I still didn't want to be alone. "Please, don't go..." Her eyes softened, sliding back onto me so she could kiss me lightly. "I'm not leaving you, Sev. I just want to do something." Legs slid smoothly over mine until she sank to her knees in front of me. My eyes widened, a sharp in take of air hissing through my teeth. "You don't have to do this, Zera..." A smirk played with her lips, and I tangled my fingers into her soft hair. "I know, but, I would very much enjoy like it if I did. Have to, Severus. Please." My eyes widened, watching her kneel between my thighs. "Zera... Let's go back to the room." The hand in her hair, tugged lightly, guiding her up until I picked her into my arms. My trousers fell around my ankles and I stepped out of them on my way to bed...

It dipped slightly under Zera's weight but she didn't stay there long and I tossed a single pillow beside my mattress to save her from any discomfort as she dropped to her knees. It was quickly tucked under her legs and a smile of gratitude was given as her fingers brushed every so lightly against my legs. Tickling until they reached the edge of my boxers. Cool digits vanished under the hem and I gasped, reaching down to still them. "Zera..." Soft lips pressed against my stomach, playing open mouth kisses to my navel where her tongue dipped into. I groaned, fingers falling away from her's and she tugged down my boxers, letting my length spring free to stand between us. My legs hit the back the bed and I sank onto it, watching Zera intently as she picked a trail of warm kisses until she was nuzzling into my hair line. A low hum sounded from her and my flesh jumped into her attention. The soft slid of her tongue ran up from my navel clear to my ear as my breaths shuddered from me. A glistening trail of saliva shimmering in the dancing light of my candles. I groaned, catching the edge of her shirt and pulling it over her head. Our contact broke, but only for a moment as the fabric came between us. Her bra was unhooked as well, revealing her breast to me. One was taken into my hand and I pulled her to me, kissing down her neck to nuzzle between her breast. "You're so beautiful..." She was so soft against me and relished in the feeling. The faint scent of raspberry tickled my nose from her body wash as I kissed a path down her belly. "Severus..." Fingers tightened into my hair, pushing me back after a second so she could kneel between my thighs once more. "Please. I would very much enjoy if you took control. I've asked Harry, but it makes him very uncomfortable." She said, kissing the inside of my knee. I sucked in a harsh breath, fingers pulling firmly, but not terribly roughly at her hair. "You tell me when." Excitement edged into her eyes, and the prospect of having someone that shared in my fascination for the rougher aspects of sex was thrilling. Cool breaths tickled my over heated skin as I pulled her closer and she nuzzled the base of my cock. A sharp hiss escaped as I watched her intently. Lust shown brightly in her eyes at the show of control and I growled lowly. Just seeing how much she enjoyed this offered its own gratification. Her tongue traced from base to tip, following the path with ever so gentle love bites as her eyes held mine. I pulled back just enough to brush the flared head against her lips. "Suck!" The command made her eyes flutter slightly wider with arousal before she obediently took me into her mouth. Her head turned slightly, working me down until the head passed her mouth and slipped into her silken throat. My eyes screwed tightly shut and I bucked forward before I could stop myself. Zera gasped sharply, a moan chasing it quickly and when our eyes meet again I realized just how much she'd enjoyed it. Another sharp thrust was given and she opened wider, lavishing the under side of my length with firm strokes of her tongue. My fingers tightened into her hair, using the grip to guide her on and off of me for several strokes before pushing her back so she could draw a deep breath. Fingers took up the place of her mouth and for a few seconds she panted before sinking back onto me. My head fell backwards and I bucked forward roughly, relishing in her sweet moans. One hand slipped a bit lower, palming my sack. I groaned sharply, working her mouth faster against me as I felt myself near the edge. Zera's nose brushed and bumped against my groin with each thrust and a shout was muffled into my fist was the tight knot of pleasure snapped. Soft hair was bunched more tightly between my fingers and I pulled her face flush to my groin as I reached orgasm. A sob choked from the kneeling woman and she swallowed down everything I gave to her. My fingers loosened and I carefully pulled her back, the last spurt landing on her lips to be licked away as she gasped for air. Disheveled blue eyes meet mine and I lifted her by her arms onto the bed so I could crawl over her...

Samantha POV: Severus landed over me, dark brown eyes burning into mine as his thick cock throbbed hotly against my leg. "You're still hard." He smirked, one slightly elongated canine peeking out as he did so. "It always takes me several orgasms to find relief." A shiver ran through me as hot fingers drifted over my sides. His mouth fell to my neck, blistering breaths washing over my skin and I whimpered, shifting up to grind against his leg. "So impatient. Perhaps I'll have to punish you?" Something jumped inside my belly and I gasped. The hem of my pants were grabbed roughly, lifting me from the bed as I squealed. "Please! Ah! Severus please!" Fabric pooled around my ankles before it was yanked from me completely. "Hold me down! Push me into the bed and take me! Show me that you're in charge!" Surprise flickered across his face before he chucked. "Rest assured, Zera. By the time I'm finished with you, they'll be no doubt who is in control." His already dark chestnut eyes grew several shades more so, becoming home to a wicked promise that I couldn't wait for him to fill. Hands pushed me back against the bed roughly before his much larger frame pinned me firmly to the mattress below. One hand caught both of mine, pressing them above my head as he knocked my knees apart. Burning fingers trailed down my middle, dipping into me as I gasped. "Severus please!" Teeth caught between my neck and shoulder sending a fresh wave of lust racing through me. My back bowed upward just as much as I could, trapped as I was. Lips smoothed away the slight ache of my bitten skin where there was sure to be a mark tomorrow. Fingers pulled out of me, and I felt his throbbing cock press against my entrance. A sob of anticipation made my chest jump before he bucked into me, sinking to the hilt. I squealed, arching into him. His hold wavered slightly and I shook my head rapidly. "Don't! Please Severus!" My hands were shoved back down and he rolled his hips forcefully into mine. The flared head found my G-spot on the first thrust, rubbing against it firmly as I keened. Even as many times as me and Harry had sex he still struggled to locate it each time. Severus had no issue at all with that. A dark chuckle rumbled from his chest into me and he began a heavy pace into me, hitting deep with each rock of his hips. Hot flesh pressed me firmly down and just being at his mercy had me teetering on the edge already. My mouth parted on a silent scream as he kept pounding against that little spot with each thrust. The tight coil of release snapped inside me and my scream was far from silent this time. Hot tears squeezed from behind my lashes and I sobbed out my pleasure. I'd had sex plenty of times but this was so much more intense. A new, more raw pleasure broke deep inside me and my eyes squeezed tightly shut. Something hot and wet gushed over my thighs and my face grew beat red in embarrassment. Severus didn't seem bothered in the least as he groaned loudly against my neck, teeth scraping lightly over the tender flesh as his thrust grew more frantic. "Zera!!" He snarled, jerking me into him roughly, before locking us together. Scolding fluid rushed into me, spreading warmth deep inside and I sobbed as he filled me up. Strong muscles tensed ryhmaticly against me as he emptied himself fully. For nearly a minute we stayed like that before my hands were let go. "I trust that was to your satisfaction?"

My head lolled sideways, panting for cooling air as his touches went from restraining to soothing. "I pissed myself..." He snorted a laugh, pushing back my hair. "No you didn't. You just ejaculated." My brows pulled into a tight knit. "I thought only guys did that." Amusement crossed his face. "Clearly~ Mr. Potter has been slacking in his duties. Fear not, Zera. I'll be tending you from now on." Fingers brushed lightly enough to tickle down my wrist, picking a warm path to my chest where they were joined by lips. The shift in demeanor threw me for a moment but I quickly found this new exploration of my frame equally as enthralling. Just seeing him look at me with such desire sent my belly into a mess of fluttering butterflies. "Sev..." He smiled, lips picking a path to mine where they brushed in gentle touches that reflected none of the aggression I'd willingly endured. "That was honestly amazing... Harry never made me feel like that." He chuckled heartily, nuzzling against my cheeks and neck until I giggled. "Mr. Potter is merely a child. I think you'll find myself much more suited to filling your needs." Fingers tickled along my sides and I jumped away from it, giggling loudly at the feather light touches. They persisted though, chasing me around the bed before finally trapping me against the wall to continue his assault to my ticklish belly. A giddy squeal was wretched from me and he finally let up, just hovering over me. The biggest smile I'd ever seen covered his face and I knew without a doubt that I very much enjoyed the company of a drunken Severus. He was so sweet and playful now, as if any and all cares had been washed away by the wine. "Well I hope you enjoyed your liver while you had it because I'm going to keep you drunk constantly from now on." He laughed richly, nuzzling his nose into my throat where several kisses were splayed. "I love you, Zera. As more than just my god-child. You have grown into such a remarkably beautiful young woman and I count myself truly lucky to have your affections." Fingers caught mine, rubbing them gently before each digit was kissed. His soft tongue darting out to touch just the tips of my fingers as he watched me intently. I swallowed thickly as his eyes traveled over my frame. Goosebumps followed along their path, prickling up my flesh as Severus chuckled. A hot mouth found my collar bone, nibbling lightly as he mapped out every inch of skin with the same diligence he used when brewing potions. I sucked in a shaky breath. "Fuck potions. Your ass need to start teaching sex Ed." Chocolate eyes rose to mine, amusement clear in their dark depths. "That, is a class I would very much enjoy having you in. I think I'd much prefer to keep it one on one though." Digits trailed along my sides, tickling in the best of ways as they went. "I don't think I ever realized just how truly soft you are. You feel amazing pressed against me like this and I can't even imagine how I kept myself from you this long." His soft tongue dipped into my navel and my flesh jumped into the attention, a sharp gasp filling my lungs with much needed cool air. He was only feeling me out but it was already getting to me. Hot breaths skittered over my belly and I whimpered under his ministrations. "You sound so sweet... I'm very glad you came. It would have been a shame to miss this because of Mr. Potter's misinformed beliefs." My head bobbed rapidly and he groaned, sitting up to carefully roll me onto my side. A questioning glance was tossed his way as he settled behind and mostly around me. My leg was hitched upward and my unspoken question was answered as he slid back into me. Our previous pleasure ensuring that I was plenty wet enough to avoid any discomfort. "Ah Severus... Hummm. Harder." His angle shifted just slightly and he found my G-spot, aiming each thrust at it as I clutched at his blankets. His empty hand didn't stay that way for long as he palmed my breast, gently rolling the hardened peek between his thumb and pointer finger. Already I could feel myself getting close and he'd barely started. This had to be some kind of special skill that surely only he possessed. The flared head of his cock rubbed firmly against my G-spot with each thrust and his other hand slipped between my legs, lightly pinching my clit. A strangled scream escaped at the extra contact and I came with a sob of his name. He wasn't finished with me though and unlike the discomfort I felt after an orgasm with Harry, this only got more intense. Though to be fair, he had left my clit, and that seemed to be what caused the feeling. Tears streaked down my face as I writhed under him, completely out of control of the pleas, screams, and moans that sprung of their own accord from my lips. There was no part on my body that didn't feel the scorch of pleasure traveling through my veins. "Please!!" Lips pulled up against my throat, bearing his teeth there as he grunted loudly. His pace picked up and my sobs with it as the hot burn of another release chased the heels of the last. The harsh slap of skin meeting skin filled the other wise quite room and he bit at my neck where he'd already marked me. "Severus I'm going to!- Ah!!" A scream interrupted my words and for a second I didn't realize it was me. Release flooded me for a second time and he bucked frantically into me, yanking my hips flush with his. Teeth tightened around my neck but any pain that may have been was lost in the sea of ecstasy. Several loud grunts sounded next to my ear as he tensed and relaxed on his own orgasm. His scolding hot seed was shot deep inside me, filling me to capacity until it trickled out, joining my own mess on our entwined bodies. Harsh pants filled the room as each of us worked on coming down once more but the sharp twitch of his cock still very hard and needing inside me had my eyes snapping to him. "You're an animal!" A wicked smirk crossed his face and he began pumping into me yet again. "You have no idea..."

I groaned as he finally pulled out of me, the bed soaked heavily in our combined fluids but neither of us had the strength or will power to be bothered with clean up after our near 4 hour session of love making. Severus grunted, flopping at my side limply as his seed trickled from me. An arm wrapped snugly around my shoulders, pulling me into him before what had to be the last of his strength was put into wiping away the quickly cooling mess from my thighs. "Sorry." I sighed, nuzzling into him. "Don't be. I'll shower in the morning, right now we both need sleep after that." A light nod was my only answer before he flipped a sheet over us, the only thing that had survived our lust unscathed. "I love you, Severus..." Over heated fingers smoothed against my back and he leaned in to kiss my head. "I love you as well, Zera. I'm sorry it took so long to figure it out." I smiled, only just keeping my eyes open to see his as he brushed back my hair. "You are well worth waiting for, Severus. I'm just glad I finally got your attention." A light chuckle rumbled from him and into our connected chest. "I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up with you though. I'm used to being the demanding one." My lover smirked. "Next time I'll go down quicker. It's only because it's been so long." Fingers brushed back my hair and I leaned into him, just enjoying his heat until I finally slipped off to sleep...
