Chapter 26

Disclaimer: I don't own it. I just toy with the characters lives and they hate me for it. Vswimming12 is the best beta in the galaxy. lol.

His pale muscular chest was in full view. I watched as his chest came towards me. A trail of black hair tempting me as it traveled from his navel to underneath his cotton sweats. My mouth was dry, and I started to back away from him as he came closer.

He kept coming towards me and I kept backing away until I bumped into the end of the hallway. I swallowed hard as I tried to dart around him to escape. Unfortunately for me, I just wasn't quick enough. He grabbed me and trapped me against the wall. He pinned me with his body, his arms holding mine captive above my head.

I wriggled and tried to free myself, but it was no use. He was too strong for me. He shifted his hips slightly to relieve the pressure building in his groin and in doing so pushed his erection straight in between my open thighs.

"Ssssssss," I hissed as he pressed hard into me. I bucked my hips and moaned at the friction it was causing.

"Stop Mia", he said. I stopped struggling. I calmed my breathing and regained my senses.

"Why?" he asked. "Why what?" I said.

"Why did you back away? You were staring and backing away at the same time," He said.

"I don't know. I didn't …I don't know, okay?" I said as I tried to push passed him. He pinned me back against the wall. "Tell me," he hissed.

Warning bells sounded in my head and I obeyed without thought. It was an instinct from my father. Whenever he hissed something my self preservation kicked in and obeyed without thought for fear of punishment.

"Because a memory of my father and …" I trailed off. The realization of what I almost told him sunk in. I'd already told him too much thanks to his prying mind.

He wrapped his arms around me and said, "I'm sorry. I should have realized how that would look. Come to bed," And I did. We walked to his bedroom with his arm slung over my shoulders and my arm wrapped around his waist.

His bedroom was done in dark oak and chocolate browns. I loved it as my favorite wood is oak and color is brown.

His bedspread was a honey brown, "The same color as your eyes", he said.

It was well furnished and a good sized room. But what attracted my attention the most was the large king sized bed, in the center of the room.

"It doesn't bite, I swear," said Severus.

"I know. I'm… ahh…just getting a feel for it," I said.

"Whatever you say," he said as he climbed in under the cover and rolled onto his side facing the opposite side, waiting and watching me.

"Oh my god….ahhhhhhhhh….it's eating me." He screamed as he rolled down under the covers, making me jump from all the wailing he was doing.

I flipped him the birdie and climbed in, all the while trying to not show my amusement of his carrying on.

He tossed his arm around my waist and spooned me from behind. I felt warm and safe for the first time in a long time. I cuddle closer and let out a contented sigh.

Sleep found us quickly, and our dreams where anything but pleasant. We tossed and turned all night. Neither of us aware that we were both being plagued by the same dream.

Lust and passion are cruel to those who are in love. They left us wanting and desiring more now than ever.
