A/N: I had meant to post this earlier but Happy Valentine's Day!
"You will join me tonight?" Luna asked him as he stepped from the bathroom that night, freshly showered and donning his green night clothes Luna was so fond of. "After such a lovely day, it would be a shame to part now."
He sighed. "Luna, I-"
"You should, and you can." She turned on her heel and headed back to her bedroom wearing one of her many oversized jumpers, this one in green.
He followed as he had somehow become accustomed to of late; like a moth to the flame, knowing the danger but still drawn forward. He did not protest as she pulled back the bed sheets and pulled him in beside her.
"I want you to be my first." Luna looked at him, her face serious, eyes dancing with question.
"What do you mean?" He pulled away, looking down at her, brows tight.
She chewed her lip. "Will you…" she paused as a redness flushed across her cheeks. "Can we?" She laid a hand on his hip as she leaned closer. "Please"
"I already stole that from you, Luna. Your first time." His teeth clenched as he fought against the memories of that night, pulling back from her touch.
She gave him a quizzical look. "You can't steal someone's first time, Severus."
"What nonsense are you speaking now, Luna?" He snorted as he pushed aside the painful visions.
Her eyes darkened as her face soured. "You can do a great many things to an unwilling person, but that's not sex." She hissed as she shook her head. "Sex is consensual. So to steal someone's first sexual experience just isn't possible. It must be freely given. It cannot be taken by force."
"Who taught you this?" He touched her cheek, relieved to see the darkness fade.
She swallowed as she glanced away. "It was what Ginny told me when I told her what happened. That the whole thing about virginity is just some silly notion created by ancient men." She blushed. "That the real gift is the consent."
"And you believed it?" He searched her eyes for insincerity but found none.
"I made up my mind to. I prefer it that way."
He considered her words, as with many things Luna seemed to believe, they had a certain innocence to them, even if he could not agree with them. Certainly in this case, there existed an optimism for her own future at least, and perhaps a hint of forgiveness for his past actions. There was really no point to arguing it. "Yes. I see."
"Don't add that to your list of things to feel guilty about." She locked eyes with his again.
He nodded as he thought of the conversation he had had with Minerva weeks ago. "I will try. But don't waste such a gift on me, Luna."
"Shhh." Her finger touched his lips. "This is not for you…" Her lips followed her finger.
His mind was quieted by the captivating sensations moving through him as the witch's kiss deepened. He moved to push her away, but his arms wrapped around her frame instead as his lips responded to hers. He wanted this, but he did not deserve it.
Her hand reached for the buttons of his night shirt as she pulled her lips from his with a lopsided smile, her dimple on full display almost as though she knew his fondness for it. Her enchanting silver eyes watched his face as her fingers worked their way down, one at a time, until his flesh was revealed to her fingertips.
Her glance followed her soft touch. "So many scars…" she mumbled as her soft fingers caressed his imperfections along his abdomen, ribcage, and chest before resting along the most insidious one over his trachea.
"Yes…" he whispered as he watched her. And even more unseen to the eyes.
"They must all have stories." Her mouth lowered to his neck, and she touched her soft lips over the puckered flesh sending a tremor through him. "I know this one…" She did the same to the raised scar above his left nipple. "And this one?"
"The Dark Lord. Punishment for Potter's escape on his birthday."
She moved to his ribcage, another soft kiss raising gooseflesh down his limbs. "And this one?"
"Bellatrix Lestrange in a fit of anger over some perceived slight shortly after the Dark Lord's return."
Her brows knitted momentarily, before she shifted her body down to his frame, her long hair tickling him in her wake, and treated the raised flesh beneath his navel the same as the others. "And this one?"
"Sectumsempra," he sighed. "The night I taught it to the Dark Lord." He tensed as he resisted the memory.
Luna's fingertips brushed over his hip bone before resting there, as her lips trailed back up his body, driving away all memories and reanchoring him in the present. Her other hand gripped his other hip as her fingers massaged his flesh.
Severus groaned softly as his body responded to her touch. "Luna…" he whispered.
"Shhh," she giggled as her lips returned to his.
He slowly sat up, bringing the witch with him. Brushing the hair from her face, he looked into her deep silver eyes. "Are you sure about this?"
She smiled. "More than most things." Her hands moved to rest on his shoulders. "But if you aren't…"
He searched her for any sign of doubt. Finding none, he snaked his arms around her frame and pressed his lips to hers.
Her fingers twisted into his hair at the nape of his neck as her body relaxed into his.
Tentatively, his hands moved down her body to her backside, massaging the soft flesh beneath the hem of her jumper.
She wiggled beneath him as his fingers trailed upward beneath the garment along her flanks, over her growing womb, and up her chest. A soft gasp escaped her lips as his thumbs brushed over the peaks of her breasts. He repeated the motion, and the witch trembled against him.
Their lips met again as Luna dragged her fingertips from his neck down his body to his hips, her thumbs rubbing circles and sending jolts straight to his groin.
When finally their lips parted, he pulled her shirt over her head, and looked down at her body. Her arms instinctively moved to cover her nudity as her face flushed pink.
He pressed his lips against hers again and reached for her hands between them. Pulling away, he looked into her eyes as he slowly brought her arms down to her sides. He caressed her collarbone, his gaze following his actions, and dragged his fingertips down between her breasts. He suppressed a shutter as his mind fought against the memories of the last time he had seen her in such a state. He could not help but realize how her body had changed, fuller, softer, and most importantly, willing. "You are magnificent, Luna."
Her face flushed brighter as she glanced down at herself.
His thumbs teased her nipples again, and she cooed as she pressed her lips against ear. He repeated the treatments as her lips moved along his jaw and took his once again.
She pressed her weight into him, and they fell into the mattress as she giggled. She lay beside him, her lips still on his, as her hand moved down his chest, abdomen and to the waistband of his silk pants.
His breath hitched in his chest when her hand crept under the fabric to rub over his sensitive flesh. His body responded immediately, and she wrapped her long fingers around him with a wicked grin.
Gasping, he tensed with sudden intense pleasure that swept through him. It had been so long since he had been touched that way by another person, and even longer since it had been anyone that actually cared for him. If she kept that up, he would not last much longer.
As though sensing his thoughts, Luna tugged his pants over his hips exposing him to her large, curious eyes.
He watched her as her gaze swept over him and her hand grasped his length once again. Her lips lowered to his, taking his bottom lip into her mouth as her hand continued to draw euphoria from him with each stroke.
On the brink of no return, he pulled away and rolled beside her, allowing his sensations to quell. He stifled her sounds of complaint with his mouth as a hand slid down her flank and tugged her knickers down her thighs. She raised her hips, and he pulled the garment free. His hand moved between her knees and traced circles up her soft, inner thigh as she mewled.
She gasped when his fingers found their target between her thighs, bringing a rare smile to his lips, breaking their kiss. Her eyes met his, as his fingers explored deeper, prodding and stimulating her. His smile widened as he glanced down at her breasts to see them rise and fall more rapidly with each moment. Lowering his head, he took each into his mouth as her body arched against him.
"Oh gods, Severus…" she breathed as her fingers twisted in his hair.
He chuckled as he probed deeper and quicker, causing her to writhe beneath him.
The witch whimpered as her body spasmed and only then did he slow his efforts and return his mouth to hers.
She returned his kiss deeper than before as she rolled onto his chest. Her hand moved to his groin again. "Will you be my first, Severus?" She whispered into his ear as her grip tightened.
He reached a hand out to tuck her hair away from her face, and she looked down at him, her eyes full of desire and question. "If you wish it."
She smiled as she straddled his hips. "Very much."
He held his breath as Luna took him inside her in a smooth, slow motion until their hips met, and they both gasped.
He waited, his heart pounding in his chest and echoing in his ears until Luna pulled away and moved against him again. Closing his eyes, he ran his hands along her flanks and rested them on her backside. His pleasure grew and spread as her pace increased.
Realizing he was holding his breath, he inhaled her scent and returned the sweet air to his aching lungs. He tentatively met her movements and stroked his fingers over her rounded form to her breasts, massaging them and gently tugging.
Their tempo swelled as her fingers dug into his shoulders. Her soft whimpers grew louder until she threw back her head. "Ohhh," she moaned as her hair settled about her shoulders and breasts.
"Oh, Luna," he echoed as he felt her body tightened around him. He could hold back no longer. Pulling the witch to his chest, he released with a groan.
They lay together as both caught their breath. With a contented sigh, Luna rolled beside him and nuzzled her nose into his ear. "Thank you."
He turned to face her, reaching to stroke her cheek. "Thank you."
Their lips met again, gentle and tender. She pulled back with a dreamy look in her eyes and laid down beside him, tucking her head beneath his chin and draping an arm over his side. "Good night, Severus."
He inhaled her earthy scent and sighed with contentment. "Good night, Luna."
Her scent and warmth washed over him as his eyes fluttered open the following morning. He pulled her closer.
He felt the tickle of her lashes against his neck followed by the soft touch of lips against his collarbone.
"Good morning," she murmured against his chest and burrowed closer.
He stroked her hair. "Good morning." He wanted to stay here in the moment forever, but Luna squirmed.
"I don't want to move, but I have to," she protested as she pulled free from his grip. "But I promise to be quick."
He watched in silent awe as the lovely blonde climbed nude from bed and reached for her discarded jumper, pulling it over her head.
The door creaked as she left him alone with his thoughts. He rolled and stared up at the ceiling with a sigh. If he had not just witnessed the perfection of Luna's bum on full display, he would have sworn last night had been nothing but an inappropriate but vivid dream.
He smiled to himself as he allowed the memories to creep into his head. There was no denying it now, despite his best intentions, he had developed romantic feelings for the quirky former student. But considering she was soon to be the mother of his child, perhaps it was not all that inappropriate afterall.
Luna entered the room, a soft smile on her face. She pulled free from her clothing again before climbing back into the bed beside him. "That's better."
He wrapped an arm around her as she stroked her fingers down his flank.
"We don't have to get out of bed today, you know?" She giggled. As she wrapped her body to fit his perfectly, her stomach rumbled.
"We must do something about that at the very least."
She sighed. "First my bladder, now my stomach."
He kissed her forehead.
She smiled. "Oh."
"Yes?" He raised a brow.
She pulled away to look at him. "That was sweet."
"Did you doubt I was capable of such?" His lip twitched into a half smile.
"Not at all." She chewed her lip for a moment. "I just wondered if you would ever care for me enough to show it."
His face dropped as Luna's bluntness washed over him. "I have been unsure how such affections would be received and still unsure they are entirely appropriate."
She stretched to kiss his nose. "Your feelings are safe with me, Severus, and I've never been one to understand appropriate." She looked into his eyes. "But I never doubted your ability to care." She kissed his lips, and her stomach growled again.
He pulled away. "Let's get you fed. I can make those pan cakes you are so fond of."
She sighed as she snuggled against him once again. "Okay. Just one more moment."
