Chapter 12. Connection

POV Draco

Returning through the floo soaking wet was not a pleasant experience. Being wet the soot stuck to them like glue leaving a black mess behind them every step they took. Hermione, still holding husband pulled him along up the stairs towards her parents bedroom. She had avoided the room earlier but he was not going to mention it now so he let her drag him through the room and into the ensuite. Once inside she dropped his hand and turned to face him.

"This bathroom has a separate tub and a shower so I figured it was the best choice…I am not allowed to shower unsupervised yet and I didn't want to make one of us wait. I'll take the bath so I don't have to stand and risk falling."

He barely registered a word she spoke, struggling to hear anything over the pounding of his own heart. She handed him a towel and set her own on the counter near the tub. She removed her shoes and socks before gesturing for his help to climb in the tub. Swiftly he clasped her hand and steadied her as she stepped up and over into the large clawfoot tub. Worried about her feeling modest, he turned around to allow her to undress.

"You don't have to turn around." She said softly, and a tingle ran down his spine.

Fuck.

He turned slowly and raised his head to look at her. She was still fully clothed and ferociously chewing on her lip. She unbuttoned her shirt and slowly removed it, tossing it into the hamper.

Fuck!

"Could you hold out your arm so I can steady myself to take my pants off?"

He flexed his hand, willing it to steady, and extended his arm out for her. She undid the button of her trousers and grasped ahold of his hand with one of her own as her pants slipped down, and used the other to toss the pants into the hamper with the shirt. She turned her back towards him causing his breath to catch in his throat.

"Could you?" she asked, and Draco nodded as he gently unclaimed her bra, allowing a finger to linger on her skin.

"Thank you"

She turned around and slowly slipped her bra down revealing her breasts.

Fuck!!!

He gulped audibly he locked his eyes to hers, afraid to look down.

"Is something wrong?" She asked worriedly, suddenly covering herself.

"NO!" He shouted unintentionally. He took a breath, "No. I'm sorry. I just…. I know what you've been through and I don't want to objectify you."

Her eyes darted around, and he could tell she was debating with herself. When she found his eyes again, she grabbed the hem of her underwear and slid them down. His eyes bore into her and their tether quivered. She turned the tap on and sat down as the tub began to fill. Draco realized he was still staring and quickly turned towards the shower. He removed his shirt and pants before his nerves kicked in.

Pull it together! She did it, you can too!

He glanced over his shoulder and could tell she was watching him intently. With his back still turned he removed his boxer briefs in one swift motion, tossing them into the pile with his clothes. He heard a squeak from behind him and he steeled himself to slowly turn and face her.

Like he had done with her, she kept her eyes trained to his. He had never felt shy in his entire life, and yet standing here before Hermione in the nude had him feeling flushed. He turned and stepped into the shower which sat directly across from the tub tucked into the wall. It lacked a door so they were still able to see each other as he let the water run over him.

"Can I ask you about something I saw while I was in the coma?"

Shit.

"Of course. I had meant to ask you something myself about the same thing."

"Oh. Okay, you can go first." She said turning off the tap.

"Um… Alright." He said, turning his head to the left So he could look at her. "While you were in the coma, did you see everything that I saw? What I mean is, was it like you were living through me for those entire five weeks, or were they just glimpses every now and then?"

"Well first, I didn't see it through your eyes at all. I am positive it was only your memories, however I "lived" them , so to speak, like you do when you view a memory in a Penseive. I could see you and move around the scene."

"So it was only some of the memories?"

"Yeah, it would show me one scene, and then randomly it would fade out into a void and I would be there for a while before a new one appeared. I only saw 5 or 6 before I woke up." He sighed in relief. He had been so worried about her bearing witness to one particular memory of himself after he had woken from a very vivid dream involving her. "Why do you ask?"

Shit!

"Well…I just…" he was so flustered he couldn't formulate a lie to tell her. "What I mean to say is that i…uh…"

"Draco? Is there a memory that you are worried I might have seen?" He broke eye contact and faced the wall.

She will know if you lie.

"Yes." He said, both of his hands on the wall in front of him, his head hung under the shower.

"Tell me."

What?

He turned to look at her. She was lying back fully in the tub, her arms hanging over the sides exposing her breasts completely.

Does she know? Is that why she said that? If she doesn't…she doesn't know what's she's just asked me to do..

Draco could swear he could feel her inside his mind, but she was too far away to be using Legilimancy.

"Granger I don't think you know what you're asking."

"You hesitating tells me I do."

Her golden brown eyes looked like fire and he burned under their gaze. She didn't like secrets and he couldn't blame her. Not after all she'd suffered.

Just do it. Coward.

"You had been out for 29 days the night I sang to you. That was also, as you saw in that memory, the first time I had really felt the tether again." She nodded her head in understanding and he looked down at his feet, "Well Pomfrey came by and forced me to go down to my dorm to get some rest, threatening to kick me out permanently if I didn't. So I did. I went down and I went to bed, only to wake from a… vivid dream… about you. It was such an intense dream that I got up to go have a shower to… relieve my discomfort."

Silence but for the sound of the shower filled the room. Moments passed, minutes, maybe even hours, Draco didn't know, he was frozen in place, afraid to move.

"Show me."

"Granger.." he growled.

"Please."

He braced himself against the wall with his hands, her plea had rushed straight to his cock and heat rushed through his veins.

"Tell me about the dream"

"It was during the Yule Ball. Only instead of being rescued from going alone by Krum, it's me that gets to take you. You were still wearing that silver dress, fuck you looked so beautiful. You reach up and kiss me and all I want to do is whisk you away somewhere so I can have my way with you, but when you pull back, the Great Hall is empty except for us. You leap at me, wrapping your legs around my waist and kiss me again. I can smell your shampoo and I pull your hair free of that awful bun you have it in. Don't contain your hair Granger, I love your wild mane."

He reached down and took his hardened cock in his hand and slowly began to stroke it.

"What happened next?" from the corner of his eye he saw her leg draped over the side of the tub.

Fuck! Is she…..?

"I press your back up against the wall. Your legs are still around my waist so I slide my hand up your right thigh, and use a severing charm to cut your knickers off and they fall to the floor." He can hear movement from the tub and he risks turning his head just slightly to get a peak.

He sees Hermione, with her head leaned back, leg over the side of the tub. One hand is between her legs and the other is intensly massaging her breast. He can hear her little mewls and he groans deeply, fighting his desire to rush over to her and bury himself inside of her.

Keep it together, this is what she wants.

"Tell me more"

Fuck I'm not gonna last

"I pull my cock out and press it to your entrance, but you stop me. I was confused at first, but you placed your hands on my shoulders and pulled yourself away from the wall. You grasped my cock and lowered yourself on to it and the world suddenly felt like all the air had been sucked out. I couldn't breathe, but I didn't care, I just wanted to stay inside you forever, even if it killed me."

He was pumping his cock furiously and he turned to glance at Hermione. She looked close herself.

"Keep going Draco, please."

"I slid one of my hands between us, and rubbed your clit with my thumb which caused you to squeeze around my cock… fuck Hermione I… I'm so close."

"Are you going to do all those things to me?"

"Fuck. Yes Hermione, all that and more."

"Like what Draco? What do you want to do to me?"

"I want to bury my face between your legs and make you come on my tongue. Fuck. I wanna feel you squeezing around my cock…"Comment by paul saldivar: Oookkay so some ideas:
Have her chime in with what SHE wants him to do to her, like hell yes she wants him to go down on her. Or have her get a little bit shy, and ask if he'd let her go down on him, and then he can picture her on her knees sucking him off which gets him closer….
Or he can share a fantasy about her riding him in his dorm, and again, mental picture here, but she's also super into it and then BOOM "oh fuck" and they both….ya know ;)
But I'm a big fan.
ORRRR one more thought, sorry,
If you want them to have some physical contact here, he can abandon the shower and kiss her etc real steamy like while they both still finish. It's a mess, we love it, and he get in the tub with her and it's way cute.

"Draco." She sighed, "Come kiss me." He halted his movements.

What did she say?

He turned to look at her and her eyes locked with his.

"Please" she begged.

Fuck…

He took a step towards her and paused. Blood was rushing in his ears as he took in the full view of her in the tub, her skin was flushed pink.

"Draco… Please."

He closed the distance in an instant, slamming his mouth into hers. Wrapping her arms around him, she pulled him into the tub on top of her, causing the water to spill out over onto the floor.

He didn't know what she wanted so he continued to kiss her, one hand bracing himself with the edge of the tub, the other returning to stroking himself. He could feel her arm brushing against his and the sudden sensation of her hand on his, pulling it away from his cock. He looked at her confused but her eyes sparkled mischievously. Chewing on her lip she slowly reached forward and took his cock in her hand, using the other to guide his hand between her legs.

"Touch me." She breathed, and a growl ripped from his throat.

She began stroking him and Draco swore under his breath. He moved his hand hesitantly, using two fingers to gently rub circles around her clit. She gasped against his mouth and he felt courage bubbling inside. He increased the pressure and he knew by her ragged breathing that she was getting close.

"Cum for me Hermione." He said, slipping his finger into her while circling her clit with his thumb. She came apart beneath him, writhing against his hand.

"God's you're so perfect Hermione."

She continued stroking him and he devoured her mouth again. His body tingled with his impending orgasm, and he gripped the edge of the tub so tightly his knuckles turned white.

"Fuck, so good. I'm close love."

She increased the speed and a moment later his orgasm tore through him and he moaned her name into her mouth, savoring every second of bliss that coursed between them.

He drained the water on the tub and cast a cleaning and drying charm them both before scooping her up into his arms and carrying her to her bed. Drawing back the covers he placed her gently down and covered her up. He turned to walk away, prepared to sleep on the couch downstairs, but her tiny voice halted him at the door.

"Stay."

He turned to face her, barely seeing her curls poking out from under the blanket. He swallowed his fear and walked over to the other side of the bed, pulled back the covers and crawled in beside her. She shifted herself over to him and curled up to his side. He wrapped his arms around her and flicked his wand, closing the curtains and turning off the lights. Placing a gentle kiss to the top of her head, lingering long enough to smell the lavender, he closed his eyes and they drifted off to sleep.
