Conventions, Clubs and Caresses

Hey gang, sorry this one is SOOOO short, but I was having 'puter issues and I figured, a small chapter is better than no chapter!

sparkyCSI & fransen Thank you so much for taking the time to review.



Now, on with the show!

I hope you enjoy.



Hermione awoke to the delicious smell of bacon and French toast arousing her senses.



“mmm” she sleepily moaned as she stretched her arms above her head.



“Good morning, love” she heard the deep sensual voice in her ear. “I was wondering when you’d wake up” giving her a small kiss on her cheek Draco reached across her to grab a slice of bacon off the table next to the bed.



“Here, take a bite, it’s delicious” he placed the bacon to her lips and growled when he saw her small pink tongue dart out, slip under the bacon to lick his thumb and then bit down on the meat.

“Mm, that is delicious, so is the bacon” she grinned impishly before pulling him into a tight embrace.



“Thank you for last night” she smile dup into his handsome face.



“Thank you for coming with me. I was hoping to ask you after dinner if you would like to come with me, I guess it worked itself out in the end.” He leaned over her and softly kissed her lips, moving back and forth, nuzzling her nose with his own.



“what would you like to do today?”



“Oh My God” she bolted straight up in bed nearly knocking heads with Draco as she did.



“I have to get to work, what time is it? I’m gonna lose my job”



She started to get out of bed in a panic when felt a pair of strong arms pull her back down, pinning her body underneath him he calmed her nerves.



“Don’t worry love. I took the initiative to notify your office that you would be unable top attend work today and that you would be contacting them later this afternoon. I was quite hoping you would stay with me.” His eyes searching her expression for any type of displeasure for his actions.



“Oh, Draco, as mush as I would love nothing more than to stay here with you” ‘Forever’ she thought “I really have to get to work, I can’t just abandon my job”



“Hermione, I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that the past is full of wasted time. All those years we could have been together if I hadn’t been so arrogant and left you. . .I want to make it up to you now. Hermione Granger, will you be my wife? Stay with me forever, have my children”



Shocked, would definitely not appropriately describe the feeling Hermione was having at this moment. Her eyes flooding with unshed tears, the figure before her blurring in & out of focus as she blinked several times, trying to decide if she was still asleep or not.



“Draco, I. . . we . . . oh my” she closed her eyes and breathed deep. Inhaling his scent caused shivers to run through her body. Her mind playing images of her standing before her friends and family vowing to love the man next to her forever; seeing her belly grow with a love child; playing happily in the manor with several small children and all of them with Draco beside her.



“Shh, I know it’s soon, maybe too soon for you, but I can’t help the way I feel about you and I don’t want to waste another minute of my life wondering what it would be like to be with you forever”

Placing his fingers upon her lips he looked into her eyes, conveying the love he had for her.

Bending gently he took her mouth in a soft kiss. One that held promises of love and passion.



She returned the kiss, showing him just how much she loved him in return. Her arms pulling him closer to her body. Breaking the kiss for only a moment, grazing his lips, a mere breath away, she whispered “Yes”

Pulling him to her again hungrily, arching her hips to meet his.



“Make love to me” she whispered huskily



“Always” he replied before completely filling his every sense with Hermione.

Hermione opened her eyes and looked around, she hadn’t realized they had fallen back asleep. After their extremely energetic activities it was no wonder they both had nearly collapsed into a deep slumber.

She looked to her side and saw the most amazing man sleeping peacefully next to her with a hint of a smirk on his lips. She just smiled as her eyes roamed every inch of that gorgeous being. His hair had fallen over his eyes, giving him just a bit of a shy look. His arm was draped across her belly in a tight embrace. In an almost possessive grip actually. She watched his chest rise and fall with his steady breathing. Running her fingers slowly up his arm lying across her to land on his shoulder, she watched his smirk disappear only to be replaced with a full blown grin. Drawing small circles on his muscled shoulders she saw small goose bumps appear on his skin.



“I love you” she whispered almost so quietly that she barely heard herself.



His grip tightened on her waist and pulled her closer to his body, completely startling her.



“I love you” he whispered back, opening his eyes to look at the angel next to him.



“You were awake you prat” she playfully slapped his shoulder.



“How could I possibly sleep with your touch scorching my skin. I’m on fire just being near you” he nuzzled her neck, inhaling her sweet scent. “Now go back to sleep love, you have completely worn me out”



Turning on her side she snuggled her backside into his thighs pulling his arm around her waist and interlocking her fingers with his.



With her back turned to him, she would not be able to see the tears in his eyes. Pulling her closer to his body, fitting together like a jigsaw puzzle, he pressed his cheek to her hair, swallowing the dry lump in his throat. For years he had hoped that one day he would find true happiness. Only a small part of his brain had ever allowed his to dreams of that happiness to include the warm soft woman next to him now.

Closing his eyes, he fell into a quiet slumber.

Draco awoke to the cold crisp sheet of his bed. Looking around he couldn’t find any trace of Hermione anywhere? Her clothes were no longer scattered across the floor. Where could she have gone.

Dread filled his stomach as he pushed the nagging feeling of dread threatening to erupt inside of him. Had it been a fantastic dream? Did she not really accept his proposal to become his wife, making him the happiest wizard on earth? Taking a deep breath he sat up, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed he stood to make his way to the bathroom to relieve his extremely full bladder.



He pushed open the large bathroom door and stopped dead in his tracks. For before him was an angel floating in a large tub full of pink and purple bubbles humming quietly to herself. Her eyes were closed and she had not heard him enter. Taking a moment he leaned against the door jam watching the beautiful woman with her head tilted back, washing her tanned skin. Rubbing small circles over her slender neck and shoulders, dipping the sponge back in the water and moving it down her arms and hands, briefly crossing her breasts and down to her stomach. He watched as she circled her stomach lightly with a look of longing on her face. She had opened her eyes and was lost in thoughts of little Malfoys running around calling her mummy when she felt a pair of soft lips on her neck.



Closing her eyes she titled her head to give him better access, reaching behind her she grasped his head and pulled him down closer to her.



“Join me?” she purred as his lips worked a particular spot behind her ear.



Slipping his boxers off, he stepped into the tub, seating himself behind her, settling her between his legs.



His hands replaced hers that were still making small circles on her stomach.
