Chapter 5
(A/N: This is going to be very strange as the only romantic experience I have comes from fanfic so if this is weird or wrong that's why…I was going to do the whole smut myself, but I was a coward and didn't. Nothing belongs to me bar the idea)
After the Malfoys had departed, Severus and Minerva found themselves awkwardly staring at each other across his room. Severus finally broke the awkwardness by stepping forward and pulling Minerva into a hug. "It's so good to be able to hold you again, Tab. I've missed you so much". Minerva smiled into his shoulder at his use of the nickname he'd given her himself after he had discovered that she had been the tabby cat that had taken to following him around, of course, the name had been given to the cat first but over time it had just become a nickname for either version of her. "I've missed you too Sev, more than I can say, It's so good to see you again and to be with you like this.".
Min pulled back and they stood holding hands for a while before Sev seems to break out of a trance and gestured to the whiskey he'd placed on the side table, "shall I pour?". She nodded and took a sit on the sofa as he poured them both a glass and then sat down next to her. "Well, here we are…" "Finally, many would say" they met each other's eyes and started laughing and blushing. Severus raised his left hand and slowly ran it down Min's face, causing her to close her eyes in pleasure. She raised her right hand and held his hand to her face. She then slowly turned her face and softly kissed his palm before turning back to him to find his eyes impossibly dark and intently focused on her making her blush heavier and the butterflies in her stomach flutter faster.
"Severus..." she whispered huskily, blindly reaching around him to put her drink down without breaking eye contact, she then hovered her mouth over his, their lips barely brushing as he put down his drink, and raised his hand to cup the back of her head, pulling her close to passionately kiss her. She responded immediately, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him closer, pretty much pulling him on top of her, not that he minded.
Sev moved his lips to Min's jaw and throat, following her as she stood and backed away towards the open door of his bedroom, beckoning him to follow with a seductive look before turning around and sauntering towards the bed. Severus had never moved so fast in his life, he flung himself towards the bedroom door, slamming himself into it to close it and he eyed the site before him.
Min had started to remove her robes, eying him mischievously as she could see the pure lust and love in his expression. "You joining me or do you expect a show, my prince?" she asked. Severus's mind went into overdrive at the thought of Minerva doing a show for him and him alone, and all that would contain. He took a deep breath to calm himself to not just pounce on her as all his instincts were telling him to and said, "while that would be…divine, my goddess, is there anything you wish to discuss before we get started?"
Minerva giggled softly as she removed her blouse, " 'get started'? Sev, you're making this sound like a business meeting or something! And no, my love, no discussion required, all I want tonight is you and you alone."
"Oh Tab, you just took the words right out of my mouth".
"Must have been when I kissed you..." Minerva said mischievously, smirking before he dived for her. Everything that happened from then on was in all seriousness and with full love and intention behind every movement.
