Word Count: 378

All Hermione really wanted was to curl up with a good book and a glass of wine. She might even put the tele on and watch a movie or have some music on for some background noise but all she knew that today had been a hellish day and all she wanted to do was relax.

She kicked off her shoes, threw her briefcase on the floor without a care and wandered into the kitchen, heading directly to the glass cabinet. It didn't take her long to grab the largest glass and fill it almost to the brim, taking a sip and sighing with relief. She needed this after her day at work with all those morons!

She dragged her feet to the living room, plopping herself onto the couch. She took another sip and reached for the remote. Clicking the power button served no purpose and she narrowed her eyes at the box, her brow furrowing when she noticed the paper stuck to the screen.

"What on earth?" she whispered, placing her glass on the table before walking over to the television. "Turn me on instead?" she read, ripping the paper off and looking at it again, trying to make sense of it. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the plug out of the socket and she couldn't help the smile that blossomed on her face.

"Marcus!" she called excitedly, not expecting him for another few days. "Why is the tele unplugged with a note on the front saying 'turn me on instead'?"

"I think you know why," he called back, his voice taking a particular tone that she was all too familiar with.

"I don't think you need my help," she told him, leaning on the doorframe as she stared at her boyfriend. Her naked boyfriend. Her naked boyfriend who was very aroused if the slow movement of his hand was anything to go by.

"You practically helped me," he replied. "All I had to do was think of you." He shot her a wink and she couldn't help but chuckle. "Now, I think you look stressed and I know the perfect way to relieve that."

"Oh, do you now?" she raised an eyebrow at him. He smirked.

"Yes. Now, remove your clothes."
