I apologize profusely for this very long wait! School has been crazy, the whole family has been sick and is on the mend, the muse was uncooperative... so, it's been a long time coming, but I hope you enjoy!

Thank you to everyone who has been reading and reviewing. It means a great deal to know that you all are enjoying the story so much!

As the door swings open, Hermione lets out a soft gasp and her eyes widen in surprise. The entire bedroom is softly light by about a dozen candles, and the soft, warm scent of vanilla is filling the entire room.

Tom tugs on her hand, gently leading her farther into the room. She gazes at the gently flickering light for another moment before turning and looking up at him with a wide smile. "You did this for me? What about… you know…?" She trails off, a flush spreading across her cheeks.

"You mean… what, you thought it would be all whips and chains?" Tom lets out a laugh as he reaches up, his hands cupping her face as he smirks. "This is your first time, love - if you want it to be. I'm not expecting anything, but I wouldn't have thought to take you that far just now when you aren't prepared."

Hermione's eyes search his for a long moment before she pushes up to kiss him, throwing her arms around his shoulders and hugging him tightly. He chuckles against her mouth and returns her kiss with enthusiasm, his hands stroking and pushing her hair back from her face as they kiss.

As it becomes heated, he gently leads her closer to the bed. His hands move down her back and sides, stroking and pulling her tighter against his front.

She moans softly as his fingers stroke the sides of her breasts, and she arches up against him, breaking their kissing with a gasp. "Ohh, please…"

"Are you sure? This is what you want?" Tom looks down into her face, one thumb circling and rubbing against the side of her breast through her blouse.

"Yes, I'm sure. I want you." She leans back a little and reaches down, pulling her shirt off with only a small struggle involving her hair.

He laughs softly and reaches up, helping her untangle a curl from a blouse button before leaning down and pressing his hot mouth to her bare shoulder.

Tom nibbles her collarbone lightly as he tugs her over to the bed and sits her down on the mattress. Dropping to his knees in front of her, he kisses and trails his tongue along the curve of her breast, his fingers stroking the soft, warm skin of her back and waist.

Letting out a gasp, Hermione reaches up and runs her hands through his hair, whimpering when Tom turns his head and tugs her nipple into his mouth. His hands move down and tug her legs up to wrap around his still clothed chest. She sighs softly and rolls her head back against her shoulders as she strokes his hair, his mouth busy suckling and tugging at her nipple.

After a moment, he releases her breast with a pop, glancing up at her from under his lashes with a smoldering look before he leans over and suddenly latches onto her neglected nipple, causing her to yelp softly in surprise.

He chuckles against her skin as he worries at the flesh between his teeth, gently pulling back and tugging at the nipple just to the point of discomfort before releasing it. Tom chuckles again and kisses her sternum lightly, and then shifts back to reach down, unzipping her skirt and tugging it down her hips.

Hermione bites her lip as she leans back on her elbows and, dropping her legs from around him, squirms back on the bed, tilting her hips as he removes her skirt and shoes, then smirks up at her.

Giggling softly, she pokes his chest with her toe before sinking her teeth into her lower lip again as Tom grabs her ankle and with a quick jerk, pulls her arse to the edge of the bed and leans in, stroking his lips against her inner thigh.

Kissing his way up her skin slowly, he flicks his tongue out and drags it along the expanse of thigh before pressing a kiss to the curve of her hip. Hooking his fingers in her knickers, he tugs them down her legs carefully before tossing them over his shoulder, already forgotten before they even hit the floor.

Tom leans in and swipes his tongue against the arch of her hip before pushing her to lay back on the mattress. She shudders and sighs softly, curling her fingers over her mouth as his mouth travels between her thighs, kissing and licking at the skin teasingly.

She gasps out when his teeth graze her skin before he kisses the same spot. Moving his mouth, he lightly flicks his tongue out against her soaking center. Hermione's hips arch from the bed and he splays his long fingers across her stomach, holding her down against the bed as he begins to lick and flick his tongue over her.

Tapping against her clit with every few passes, Tom growls against her hot flesh as she arches up into him, crying out softly with each prod against the bundle of hypersensitive nerves.

Hermione moans out, her back arching off the bed when he wraps his lips around her clit and sucks, swirling his tongue around the sensitive bead. Her fingers clutch at his hair, one leg curling against his shoulders as he holds her other leg down with one arm.

Tom's hot mouth covers her entire slit, tongue delving and thrusting into her until she screams out, her orgasm rushing over her as he continues to lap at her, drinking from her.

He crawls up her body slowly as she settles, pressing light kisses along her stomach, and ribs, up along the swell of her breast until he kisses her neck. He pulls back slightly to look down at her face, smirking as she lays beneath him, eyes closed and panting.

A moment later, once she's regained her breath, Hermione cracks one eye open and grins at him, nose wrinkling. "You have far too many clothes on to be in bed with me right now, mister."

Tom smirks, propping his head on his hand as he looks down at her with an arched brow. "Anyone ever tell you that you're awfully bossy, sweet?"

She laughs and nods. "All the time, actually." She grins and rolls over onto her side, reaching out and unbuttoning his shirt with one hand, eyes flickering up to his face periodically as though checking to be sure she's allowed. "Now, about these clothes…"

He snorts out a laugh before he slides off the bed and, standing right by it, begins to strip his clothes quickly. Dropping his shirt to the floor, he shucks off his trousers and pants together and leaves them behind as he pulls open the drawer in his bedside table. Withdrawing a condom, he unwraps it and quickly rolls it onto his swollen erection before crawling back up onto the bed.

Hermione bites her lip, watching him undress and move back onto the mattress, her eyes smoky and glittering in the flickering candle light. She tilts her head, letting her eyes roam across his pale, naked skin as he crawls on top of her and tilts his head down to kiss her.

She sighs softly and wraps an arm around his shoulders as she returns his kiss, her lips moving against his until his tongue lightly brushes her mouth. As soon as they part, he delves into her mouth, groaning softly at the flavor of lingering spices and toothpaste.

Tom shifts, kneeling between her legs and nudging her thighs up to wrap around his hips as he slips a hand between them, slowly stroking his fingers along her pussy. Hermione gasps out and arches, pressing her breasts into his chest as he circles her clit with his fingertips before withdrawing his hand to grasp his cock.

"Ready, sweet?" He strokes the blunt head of his cock along her slit, grinning as he bumps it against her clit and causes her to whimper each time.

"Please! Yes, I want you inside me!" She groans and arches her hips up into his still teasing cock, rubbing her slit along his length as he echoes her groan.

Grasping himself, he pushes the head into her pussy and pauses, lust-darkened eyes flicking up to her face before back down as he begins to push into her slowly. After moving in a few inches, he draws back out slowly, then moves in again. Pushing and pulling, moving slowly and carefully as she gasps out beneath him until he's settled completely inside of her.

"Fuck, you're tight." He groans and tilts his head back, tendons straining in his neck as he gasps before drawing his hips back and pushing into the clutch of her pussy a bit harder and faster. He looks back down at her and clenches his jaw as he thrusts again. "All right?"

"Yes! Oh, God, do that again! That feels amazing!" She gasps as he thrusts again, his swollen cock stroking along her walls in just the right way and causing her muscles to clench and flutter that only makes him grunt and curse again.

Shifting his hips, he grasps her hips and pulls her into a better position as he begins to move faster and harder, thrusting into her soaking pussy and growling each time their hips meet.

Hermione cries out when his pelvis grinds against her clit just right, and her entire body shudders. Grasping his shoulders and arching back against the mattress, she cries out again as he thrusts into her even harder.

Tom slides his arms beneath her, fingers curling around her shoulders as he leans in and kisses her on the mouth, hard and sloppy, as they move together faster and faster until she's throwing her head back and screaming as he tenses and grunts as his orgasm tears through his body. He buries his face into the mass of curls spread across his pillows as he pushes a hand between her legs and rubbing steadily at her clit until she spasms, and her cunt clamps down on his softening cock with her own orgasm.

Slumping down against her, he pants into her hair as his heavy body presses her down into the mattress. After a moment, he tries to roll off of her but her arms and legs tense, keeping him in place as she mumbles against his damp shoulder, "No. Stay."

Nodding, he settles down against her again, bracing some of his weight on his elbows to keep from crushing her completely as he presses his mouth to her shoulder, kissing her skin over and over lazily.

Hermione sighs deeply and rubs her fingers through the fine hair at his neck before finally sinking back into the mattress completely, her legs and arms falling to the rumpled duvet as she lets out a little laugh. "That… that was fantastic."

Tom huffs out a soft laugh as well, turning his head a little to look down at her before he rolls over and collapses onto the bed beside her. "Yes, it was."

She laughs again, turning her head just enough to look at him. She smiles, moving a hand to reach out and stroke his chest gently before he captures it and kisses her fingers lightly.

"Just a moment." He smirks at her before carefully slipping off the bed and disappearing into the loo. After a few minutes, he reappears and takes a moment to blow the candles out, the room going almost pitch black. He moves back to the bed and tugs the blankets from underneath her then crawls back up, gathering her in his arms and holding her tightly against his chest. "There, that's much better."

"Much better." Hermione sighs deeply and nuzzles her head under his chin, stroking her fingers along the swell of his bicep idly as she relaxes in his embrace.

I think I'm in love with you… Her eyes pop open at the idle thought that floats through her mind as they lay together in the dark room, listening to his slowing and deepening breathing. Shit. I'm in trouble now.
