Chapter 17
Guilt
It was nearing the end of March. Winter was slowly ebbing away into the distance and spring was gladly welcomed. The air was fresh and clean, although still chilly. It was an appreciated change to the bitterness of the winter months. The snow was gone except at the very tops of the surrounding mountains.
Although the land was dry and frost free it was still icy to the touch. However the first signs of greenery was blossoming, along with the rich promise of lush vegetation. The first appearance of wild flowers mingled with heather and in the succulent grasslands could now be seen that was previously covered under the thick covering of snow and ice. Trees were gradually forming leaves and buds. They no longer appeared like eerie twisted spectres dotted on the landscape.
The lake had finally thawed.
Severus Snape had just come from breakfast feeling unusually content and was now making his way back down to the dungeons. He and Taya Matterson had been together just over two months. For the first time in his fifty years he was feeling joy. Love was like nothing he really had imagined. At least not with her. It was better than that. She was sweet and caring, but with a mischievous side to her as well. And perhaps a little too overly affectionate for his taste, not that he was complaining. The potions master loved her unconditionally if not a little to possessively, but Taya didn’t seem to care or notice. She was still too wrapped up in their new unbridled romance.
To her it was like a dream. Her greatest fear was that one-day she would wake up from it. The beginning of their relationship hadn’t been elementary nor was it any easier. Severus was still dealing with his hidden demons. His past still depressed him, which was to be predicted considering the circumstances of his upbringing and lost childhood. That hurt her, but she presupposed all those years of repression, his hidden anguish, he was feeling a little overwhelmed by it all and she. Only now had he really began to explore his softer quieter more innocent side complimented by a favourable passionate sexuality.
There were times he required isolation and needed to be alone. Perhaps to assimilate the newfound reasoning and expectancy that he wasn’t entirely infallible and could no longer live on nerves, wits and independence alone.
Taya had given him reason to go on, to live and to trust again. To accept help when offered and bathe in the glory of freedom. Had it not been for that letter she had found on his desk he may never had let himself fly free.
Her returning to Hogwarts hadn’t exactly enraptured him and the distinct possibility of re-opening old wounds had terrified him but there she was, a new colleague and quite un-expectantly his lover.
Sometimes he felt as if she was treating him like a child, but that was only sporadically, neither the less it was a trifle embarrassing. Perhaps she was trying to get him to find that lost little boy trapped inside his mind. He had to grow up fast in the late sixties. His childhood was lost the moment his mother died.
The telepathy between he and Taya had grown impenetrable during those few months. Over time both realised they could control their minds at will, only sharing what they wished the other person to see and feel. This was a great improvement on their relationship. She had feared the times when she was unceremoniously dragged unconsciously down into his eyes.
In one way linking like that was a blessing, during love making it was an added bonus, she could impose feelings upon him, intense powerful sensations both physically and mentally that could literally send him into the apex of desire simply by mind touch alone. Both could feel what the other was feeling thus sending her into the stratosphere as well.
In more strained times, strong negative emotions had also wrenched Taya into him against her will. Now that she had mastered the ability to consciously will herself from being dragged down into the darker pits of his soul she could afford to give him more of her direct attention instead of worrying about her own emotional well-being.
There were times when she did choose to reach into those dark uncharted regions of his mind. Those times sharing with her his deep harrowing experiences were traumatising for both parties and it wasn’t easy.
She knew that he probably would never entirely get over what was done to him, but the fact that he was now able to accept it, gradually put it behind him and move on was a welcoming blessing.
Sometimes while alone in each other’s company they would cry in each other’s arms, just to release the tension. Other times it was the only thing that would ease him, make him feel better and help him become strong again.
Despite his occasional weak spells Severus was strong. He had always been a strong man. He had to be. Only with her did he consent himself to be taken through the esoteric gateway into warmth and light.
"I’m sorry." He took her hand.
"You can understand can’t you?"
"It’s not the all and be all of it. Sex that is."
"You can’t help it, being a bleeding nymphomaniac." His mouth twitched slightly then spread into a fiendish smile."
"Oi!" She slapped him on the arm playfully.
"It’s not as if you aren’t getting any is it?" Her mouth opened in surprise.
"Severus! How crude."
"Crude? Considering some of the things you have done to me I thought it was rather tame in comparison to your actions." The smile seem to spread to his eyes. They were twinkling oddly. "As they say, ‘action speaks louder than words.’" He turned around. "Come here." He patted his lap.
"Oh, an invitation to sit on the Potions Master’s knee?"
"Yes. Hurry up now." She stood up and stepped nearer. Taya leaned forward as if to kiss, but his hands abruptly grasped her behind almost roughly and dragged her closer still. She gasped. "Did you like that?" She smiled shyly. "And do you like this?" He slid a hand under her long skirt, fingers lightly flickering up her bare thigh. Abruptly he pulled her legs apart. She looked shocked. "Sit facing me." She obliged and straddled him, pushing herself down onto his legs. Immediately she felt his arousal pressing almost into her. Had not been for their clothes Taya wondered whether he would have taken her there and then. She felt her cheeks flush at the thought. Automatically her pelvice started to rub against him, riding him until Severus himself found that he was quickening against her.
Taya felt the rush of familiar sensations hit her like a steam engine at full speed. She cried out his name in a throaty scream.
"Silence."
"Huh?"
"Subtleties isn’t a virtue with you is it?"
"What? Oh..."
"You can get off me now." He tried to push her away but she did not yield. "Had I known you would try something lihat-hat-"
"What were you expecting then?"
"Taya it’s nearly ten o’clock. I have work to complete before my first class within the hour."
"It’s not very nice to be taken for a ride like that?" She said angrily.
"It wasn’t?" He scoffed. "You seemed to react quite the contrary."
"I didn’t mean...you know what I ment you annoying git." He smiled at her.
"I was merely going to kiss you."
"Bollocks Severus," she snapped. "I knew exactly what you were thinking. And you were as hard as an iron rod."
He cleared his throat and pretended that he hadn’t heard her last sentence.
"Did you honestly think I was going to let you have your way with me here in my classroom just before my first class? The door’s open. There nre no charms put on the room. What if one of the students came down here early?"
"I’ve never known anyone to turn up to a Potions lesson early," she palavered.
"Yes okay. But the point being-"
"You were nasty to tease me like that."
"Come now," he touched her face.
"Unfortunately you tried to push me off before I had the chance and I don’t feel very able now. I’ll hold that thought for this evening then." She pushed herself off.
"What?" He frowned the saw the rapidly progressing grin spread across her face. Understanding suddenly dawned on him. Severus scowled his most intimidating glare. Taya chuckled and circled him for a moment. He looked up at her.
"You are disgusting," he drawled. "Absolutely fowl." She giggled.
"I know." And with that her tongue lightly stoked the tip of his nose.
"Pervert!" He growled.
"Yep. What other names can you think of?" He didn’t reply. Instead he answered her with a kiss then stood up.
"Off with you now. Before I pick you up and resort to physically throwing you out."
