A.N. Chapter contains scenes of a sexual nature. Rated M for a reason. This is my only warning.

Draco had forgotten that the outside world existed - he had grown content with his life. Then their killer had to reappear, on the night he and Ria had arranged to go on another date. In total they had been on three now, four if he included the one when they took Teddy to the cinema. Their eyes would find each others across the table - hands would brush against the others - it was quite endearing and rather frustrating. Though they had kissed, they hadn't gone much further because Teddy was mainly around and Harianna was rather hesitant, not that he could blame her.

'Just how bad is it?' Draco asked when he reached the landing. He had just reached Harianna's, when his watch at gone off. Luckily it was before he made it through the door, or Ria would have insisted in coming along, and with Teddy away for the night spending it together here was not how he envisioned their time together.

Weasley looked rather pale, and was struggling to answer. Weasley shook his head. In truth Draco had forgotten what killing came next after the double killing, until Ria reminded him. Draco pushed the door open to the bedroom and suspended from a rope was their victim. The victims' hands had been tied behind her back. The female was naked, and there were lacerations to her skin and ligature marks and the victim had been gagged.

Draco closed the door again, 'stupid question - there goes date night.'

'I wondered why Ria wasn't with you.' Weasley said, 'does she even know you're here.'

'Not really.'

'you can't protect her from it,' Weasley said, then he dropped his voice, 'she writes this kinda stuff for a living.'

'Could we just log the scene so we can get back to where we are meant to be normally.'

Weasley held up his hands, 'touchy!'

It was times like these Draco loved the fact they could use magic to log everything - he had learnt in his training that when Muggles did it, that it would take several hours to itemise a crime scene. Even with magic it wasn't until four hours later did he return Harianna's.

He opened the door and was greeted by a stunning sight. Harianna had been going up the stairs - by the looks of things - wearing a black dress, her long hair was down in loose curls. Draco greeted her with a tired smile.

'Another one?'

'The hanging.'

Harianna stood about three or four steps up the stairs. 'Oh.' She sunk to sit upon the a step. 'I thought you'd changed your mind - that ... doesn't matter, you missed dinner -' she pointed to the kitchen, 'I made some - just in case ... why didn't you tell me or send for me?'

'I was hoping it wasn't out killer,' Draco said, capturing one of her hands bringing her fingers up to his lips, 'I was hoping that I wouldn't be too long.' he kissed the back of her hand, 'that I wouldn't miss this - are you tired?'

'Not really.'

'Come join me - I think I might have brought some of the wine that was at Manor before I had it destroyed back with me.'

'You did, it's at the back of the cabinet.'

'Did I,' Draco pulled Harianna to her feet gently, 'I wondered where I put it.'

'You actually put it in the pantry - I moved it.' Harianna said, walking down the steps, 'Draco - just how unpleasant was it?'

Draco winced, 'It wasn't exactly nice - come - no more talk of James Evans, because I don't want him to spoil the rest of our night.'

'But Draco.'

'You can find out in the morning Ria,' Draco said, 'from the report and photographs - now can we talk about bunnies and rainbows or some such nonsence.'

Harianna giggled, 'bunnies and rainbows?'

'First thing that was not violent to come to mind.'

She looked amused, Draco just smirked.

'Bunnies and rainbows,' she shook her head, 'fine I'll give you bunnies and rainbows.'

Draco kissed her swiftly upon the lips, went in search for his dinner as his stomach was beginning to talk to him. They curled up on the sofa afterwards, Draco had an arm nestled around Ria, his other hand holding the glass of wine. They sipped at wine, and exchanged lingering kisses.

Draco didn't know if it was the alcohol that gave him the confidence to do it, or if it had been the amount of desire he had pouring through his veins. But his hand - glass of wine now long forgotten - was buried in Ria's hair, Ria was now pressed against him, her arms were resting upon his his chest, her hands nearby his neck. His free hand had skimmed the hem of her dress the moment they had found themselves in this position, his hand then run down her back towards her bum to the hem of her dress. Draco didn't want to push Ria into anything ... but when her body was brought closer to his as their kisses grew from slow and sweet lingering kisses to tongues swirling and passion building, the hand that had been in her hair fell. In one swift motion Draco had brought the hem of her dress up and underwear down.

Ria was not as wet as he thought she would have been, but he had time - Teddy was gone for the night - and despite his own aching arousal he knew he had to take his time. If he rushed her now ... he'd lose her for good. It was difficult given their position for him to be able to pleasure her - Draco moved gently pushing Ria back into a sitting position ... slowly he inched a finger inside her. Harianna didn't flinch but she did grip onto his shoulder. Even like this Draco had to be patient - it wasn't the perfect position or place to be - but he didn't want to move her - not now he had gotten this far - he didn't want to spook her into stopping this - and he was a selfish bastard, well more he had selfish reasons.

Ria's wetness built up and Draco was able to slid another finger in - Ria gasped and then moaned and that was enough for Draco. His free hand went to the back of her dress and unzipped it. He tugged one strap to fall off her shoulder and pushed the other off rather awkwardly. The straps dropped far enough that he didn't need to pull the dress down - it exposed Ria's bra. Then he unclasped her bra and slipped the straps off exposing her breasts. Draco released Ria's mouth - her breast were bigger than he imagined them to be, considering her slender frame. He pulled the straps from her arms for easier access, entered a third finger, and kissed the newly exposed skin.

He didn't bit or nip at her ... not sure if the action would unsettle her. He swept his tongue across a nipple until it hardened then repeated the progress with the other one. He made sure to stop at any indication she no longer wanted this but Harianna seemed too far gone in her own lust. Desire filled her eyes, her hips moved against his fingers. Then quite suddenly something else filled her half closed eyes. Her eyes closed, completely her head fell back as she reached her climax. Then Harianna's eyes snapped open, widening, filled with wonder and embarrassment. She looked like she couldn't believe what had just happened.

They did make it to Harianna's bedroom after that - Draco had shred his own clothes much quicker than he had when he'd taken off Ria's. Then he did something that made him nervous as how he knew Ria to be feeling, for the first time since being with someone, he spread out his wings - having not wanting to fall into being stuck with the wrong person, it was how he had managed to walk away from Astoria so easily. There was no going back after this, he knew that and the Veela part of him agreed that this was it, Ria had been the person he'd been looking for.

Harianna did tense when he tried to enter her much later - but he instinct told him it was the position rather than fear - Draco went back to kissing the scars upon her body that she tried to stop him from seeing - Harianna seemed more concerned by them than anything else about her body. But Draco found he didn't care that they were there, or where she had got them from - though he had gathered how - it wasn't until Ria had collapsed from another orgasm, that he was able to enter her. It was maddening the frustration he had even now as he kept his thrusts slow - but the frustration was due to the fact that they lay side-by-side as he made love to her. The position was effecting him far more than he thought it would - and it was clearly having the same effect on Ria. Until finally his frustration became the completion that he had craved and Harianna lay drained beside him.
