Chapter 15 of 20
PyttanHer forced, unhappy and loveless marriage had ended when Draco Malfoy was lost at sea. Now he's back.
15
It was awkward kissing someone so tall, and apparently, he had problems with her height too because he backed her to the bed, kissing her all the way over.
"I could kiss you ... touch you ... all night," he said between kisses, his voice a low rumble close to her ear.
They reached the bed and the two of them toppled over. Hermione landed on her back with Severus on top of her, his weight pinning her to the bed. He took hold of her wrists and pulled them over her head and kissed her again. Hermione tried to wriggle her hands free, wanting to touch him, but instead, he held on tighter.
No. Not pinned to the bed without any possibility of getting away. She tried to free herself, but couldn't. She bucked hard, wanting to get him off her. That seemed to get his attention, and he lifted his head.
"What are you doing?" He looked at her, black eyes narrowed.
"Please! You need to let go." The words came out as a panicked babble, and she hated that. She could hear her own shallow breaths, but couldn't control them.
Something ignited in those black eyes of his. Anger?
Please, please, not anger.
"I am not satisfactory, after all?"
It was going all wrong.
"Please." She tried again. She need to tell him why or he would ...
"You could have had me look like anyone, but no..."
She tried to free her hands again.
"Draco used to pin me down." She blurted out the words since she would start crying any minute now. Her head was spinning. She wasn't sure if it was the alcohol, or the situation, or both, but she was reeling.
"Pardon?"
He let go of her hands as if she had clawed at him and supported himself on his arms, lifting his weight off her. He didn't stop looking into her eyes, though.
She tried again. "He liked to pin me down, so he could do what he wished, without me being able ... I hate it."
Severus was kneeling on the bed beside her now, not touching her at all.
"I suspected he hurt you. I forgot."
She just nodded as she sat up. He stroked her cheek, then trailed his finger down her neck and over her shoulder. It felt nice, and her heart rate slowed down. He tugged her closer until she was seated on his lap.
"I'll not hurt you." His voice was again a low rumble in her ear. "Please, let me touch you." He held her closer and kissed her. "If Draco was alive, I'd make him pay," he said, and then he kissed her again. She let him because she wanted to.
He took his time kissing her, and by the time he started to fumble to get her robes off, she didn't mind him touching her. He failed to get the robe off though. When he trailed his hands over the front of it, he scoffed.
"Your robe is fastened with hooks? Did you do this on purpose?" Severus's voice was no more than a frustrated hiss, and she couldn't help it; she giggled. She had never giggled before, during or after sex, in her life. She dragged her teeth over the right tendon on his neck by way of an answer and listened to his low moan.
"Get it off or I'll rip it off." She met his eyes and realised he meant it. Her robe would be ruined in a matter of seconds if she didn't remove it. She slid off his lap and rose. But standing there she felt herself stiffen again. She was standing on the bed with him kneeling in front of her, intending to strip naked. She couldn't do this.
He smiled, and there were those dimples again. Focusing on that smile, she started working through the hooks as fast as she could before she lost courage again and left the room, running. The robe fell around her feet, and she kicked it away. She unfastened the bra and threw it on the floor, then got rid of her knickers and stockings.
And the intent look he gave her, like he wanted to devour her ...
"Even your nipples blush," he said and pulled his robe over his head and then got rid of his underwear.
Embarrassed as she was, she still couldn't help looking. He struck her as well proportioned. A bit too thin...wiry, hard muscled and angular. A lot like a Muggle long distance runner. She didn't dare to look at his groin. She wasn't sure she wanted to know. She wasn't sure about what she'd got into, in fact.
Then he was on his knees at her feet, holding her hands, pulling at her until she bent down. He kissed her again, and she almost fell down in front of him.
"You are beautiful." His hand went to her breast, and he brought his mouth to it and sucked at the nipple until it was so sensitive she didn't know if she wanted to push him away or press him tighter to her, making him, somehow, suck it harder.
She ran her hands over his back. It was so smooth, and his response to her stroking him was immediate: He hissed and pulled her closer.
"Straddle me." He used a huskier version of his Professor's voice now. And, oh Merlin, he wanted her to sit on him.
She jumped when he put his hand between her legs, but his touch...as decisive as it was...didn't hurt at all.
The finger he slid into her was long, and she could feel the hard knuckles as they entered her. She shivered at the feeling, but it still didn't hurt.
"You're wet. It will not hurt. Straddle me. You will take me tonight, not the other way around. Trust me. Please." He pulled his hand free again and just held her, nuzzling the side of her face.
She buried her head against his neck, took two deep breaths, and when he drew a soothing hand over her head, she did what he had asked her.
It was easy. She hadn't even thought it could be so easy. No grinding. No humping. No pain. He just slid into her. And when she took him, her clitoris scraped against the thin trail of dark hair running down from his navel to his groin and they both moaned.
"You feel nice," she said in a low whisper.
"I'm not nice," he answered, wrapping his arms around her and pushing hard. She moaned as she felt him thrust into her.
"You liked that?"
"Yes! Yes, again, please."
"Say my name." He didn't move and forced her to be still when she tried to move instead.
"What?"
She tried to kiss him, but he pulled away not letting her.
"Say my name."
She tried to move, to get him to move, but he was holding her still, impaled on him.
"Please, Severus, again." She was panting from the pure frustration of it.
Finally, he did it again, and this time she managed to follow his movement. He buried his head in her neck and nibbled at it as he pounded hard into her. She dragged her nails along the small of his back because that seemed to excite him. But she wanted more, so she moved her hands, holding onto his shoulders, and rode him in unison with his movements. Then she couldn't do anything anymore. Every muscle in her body locked, her head fell against him, and she couldn't even breathe as he continued to thrust into her. Every one of their movements made his pelvic bone hit her clitoris and her body coiled tighter each time.
Then he changed pace and went just a little bit faster.
Her body went out of control. She screamed herself hoarse from the pleasure of it all and thrashed so hard she felt his arms tighten around her to keep her in place. When it was over, she was sobbing, hanging like a limp rag over his shoulder, moaning from the aftershocks as he continued to thrust into her. She felt him grow inside of her, and he roared her name as he came.
She didn't want to move. She could stay where she was forever.
"You need to get some sleep. You'll sleep here with me from now on."
She nodded without lifting her head, which was still resting on his shoulder. Merlin, she was exhausted. How he had the strength to start issuing orders she didn't know.
Without letting her go, he managed to lay them down and cover them both with the duvet.
"You do know you're mine now?"
She nodded again. She didn't really have the energy to discuss the wording. He needed to amend his idea of ownership, but they could discuss that later.
"Yes. Yours. Go to sleep now." She snuggled closer to him and he put his leg over hers, making it almost impossible to move. She didn't mind.
Severus was there with her, and she felt safe for the first time in years, and the best part was that he had managed to prove what she had never quite managed to convince herself of: Draco had been wrong about her.

What an incredible adaptation! I love it. Im a huge Kleypas fan so it was an even greater joy to read. I love your Hermione. She was traumatized and damaged, but still recognizable. It was a verybelievable characterization. Your Severus was great, too.
Response from Pyttan (Author of Deception)
Thank you so much! It's my very first story featuring HGSS, and I was quite nervous writing it. I'm a Kleypas fan too, btw ;).

Well, that was an uexpected development. What with Severus being "Draco'. How is it that Severus was a metamorphagus? Why did you give him that particular talent? I can see that as being really handy for spying though.
Response from Pyttan (Author of Deception)
The truth is that when I wrote this story, my first idea had nothing to do with Severus at all. He strong armed his way into this story and just took over. As far as the metamorphmagus thing, well, my idea really is that if you meddle with Dark Arts, home made hexes and Potions and then get bitten by a large venomous (?) snake, you are bound to be affected by it in some very interesting ways. I had to cut that part out of the story though, since I didn't manage to fit it into the story very well. It ruined the pacing, and it felt very constructed and strange. Instead I let Hermione make the metamorphmagus connection, and then I left it in the hands and minds of the readers. I did concider a Polyjuice take on the situation, but that didn't flow very well either and left me with some major problems to explain away. And it would have been very handy talent for a spy wouldn't it? ;) Thank you for reading and reviewing!

I hate when you want to be mad at someone, then something happens and you never get to vent your feelings. When he's better, she'll have to take it out on him in bed, lol. I haven't tried to take over your story for awhile, huh? I would love it if Draco was off on his own agenda trying to pose as Snape ;)
Response from Pyttan (Author of Deception)
Yeah. It is so very frustrating. And it's typical that Severus is the one to do just that exact thing. And as far as taking over the story ... nooo. Severus is still the man with the agenda. ;)

And..... ????? Gods, woman, it's 1:45 AM here in Colorado - I'm already up much too late working on IHN (yes, really, I am, I am....) and you feed me this tiny morsel of intrigue ???? Oh, but can't we all empathize with Hermione, here - furious and frantic, all at the same time - and longing for another of those sob inducing sessions, no doubt. /g/
Response from Pyttan (Author of Deception)
I want you all to keep reading! I needed to do somehing that would make you keep at it ;). And yes: you get so angry when a loved one behaves recklessly and here Hermione really has more reason than most to be angry. I would be livid from the worry alone and adding his highhandedness ... I would say he got off easy with the migrain. And I think the both need to sob a bit ;)

Ahhh! I love how possessive you have written Snape, very "in character". Like Hermione, I (as a reader) feel simultaneously intrigued and frightened by him -- and I do love it when Snape is portrayed this way. I love the ambiguity of his nature, and the extremes his personality tends to fluctuate between.
Response from Pyttan (Author of Deception)
I love ambigous Snape too. The way his moral compass sometimes seem to point in the right direction for all the wrong reasons. And there is no doubt in my mind that he is prepared to do plenty to get his way. I'm very happy you told me this since it's exactly how I wanted to depict him. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
Response from KingPig (Reviewer)
"The way his moral compass sometimes seem to point in the right direction for all the wrong reasons." This is the best description of him and his nature that I've ever come across!

Problem solved - the real Draco is confronted with his own doppleganger and drops dead from shock !! Nice and neat...
Response from Pyttan (Author of Deception)
Nice and neat, that is true. But Severus wouldfind that so very unsatisfactory...
Response from moiramountain (Reviewer)
Yeah, if I were the real Draco, I'd be heading straight for that deep dark ocean that supposedly took me the first time - jump in, take in a lungful of water, and get it over with - far better than what Severus has in mind for me, no doubt.

What a crazy position for Hermione to be in. She wants Draco gone for good, but is unwilling to use the one means at her disposal. And for Severus, she is important, so does he ignore her and kill Draco to ensure her safety (and his position), or does he respect her wishes, but take the chance that Draco show up to claim his old life and his wife? And just what is Draco doing anyway? If it really is Draco ...
Response from Pyttan (Author of Deception)
Horrible position, I agree. And you have just put me in a position where I can't answer even one of your questions without giving the plot away. ;)

I am intrigued by how eagerly he wants her. Is there a back story? Did he have an interest in her before all of this went down? Or is he just a man and by default, cannot resist being with her? I was torn in my feelings about him. On the one hand, he seems really seems forceful with her, but then he was also careful and considerate. I just don't know what to think. I do want to know more.
Response from Pyttan (Author of Deception)
Severus decided to return in the guise of Draco after Plucky ran into him. He assumed Draco and Hermione were happy together, and since he really didn't mind having a nubile young wife he decided to try this little ruse (opportunist, yes indeed). Then, as it turned out, things got complicated, and he found himself attracted to the new Hermione, damaged as she is. And yes. He is both very domineering but still considerate, in his own way and when he choses to be. That is very much the way I see him ... And there is more. Five chapters to be exact and two of them are in queue. I hope you'll like them. Thank you! I love concrit reviews.

I want to say that was sweet... but it is not quite the right word. It was sweet for him to let her be in control to show he wouldn't hurt her, but I fear his possessiveness may be as strong as Draco's cruelty.
Response from Pyttan (Author of Deception)
I would say that your fears are very well founded. His sweetness is, after all, rooted in the desire to have her, to bind her to him, rather than anything else. And in a way he is very sweet, but Hermione is a very brave woman, taking him on. Thank you for reviewing. I might even dare to try writing erotica again.

I love how strikingly vulnerable you have presented Hermione, all while allowing glimpses of her inner strength ring through during the more intense moments. I also really enjoy the slight struggle Snape seems to have between showing empathy for Hermione's situation and his innate need to dominate.
Response from Pyttan (Author of Deception)
Thank you for telling me! That is exactly what I was trying to show the reader. After all Hermione has been through, she is still a very brave, even bold person. And Severus--dominant and devious as he is--is still working so hard to make this something that can bring them together, maybe for the first time making the right choises. I felt very uncertain about my ability to convey what I wanted as I wrote this chapter. I tend to avoid writing erotica, and I wanted to bring the characters and the story forward too, so your review makes me very happy.
Response from KingPig (Reviewer)
Please don't avoid writing erotica -- you do it so well!! You can manage what few writers can -- the ability to write a steamy scene that is not only very "hawt," but also actually propels the story forward, and portrays the delicate balance within your characters between a driving, instinctual need and the fragile fear of a deeper intimacy -- and you do it with a natural ease. You are a very talented writer, and if nothing else, this chapter proves that you can easily and deftly handle the double-edged sword that is Lemony Goodness.
Response from Pyttan (Author of Deception)
You made me tear up now. Thank you! I was so nervous about this, and I never expected it to be recieved so well. It means a lot to me. So much I might even dare to write erotica again ...

It's heartbreaking finding out what Draco did to her. I wonder how Severus can be so sure he's dead? A million fiery deaths would still be too good for him.
Response from Pyttan (Author of Deception)
Draco turned out worse than I thought when I started writing the story. And yes, I thing Draco snogging a Dementor would be a good punishment for him in this story ... Draco has been gone for a long time, so Severus is really only taking a calculated risk, which is what he tends to do I think. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the story. It's nice to have you along for the ride.
