Lavender, Lemon, and Firewhiskey

Chapter 2

Tonks woke up to the bright sun filling her room. Checking the antique clock on her nightstand, she wasn’t surprised to see that it was after noon. Stretching, she reached over, her hand brushing the side of the bed where Severus had slept; it was cold. Telling herself she shouldn’t be disappointed, she shrugged into her violet silk robe and headed for her private bathroom. Frowning at the knock that sounded on her door, she sighed, pulling her robe tighter.

“Not now, Mad-Eye..” she called out

“Nymphadora? It’s Severus. May I please come in?”

Shocked, she pulled the lapels of her robe closer together and opened the door. Severus stood there, balancing a tray with numerous silver-domed plates, wearing a thin grey t-shirt, black silk pajama pants, and an endearingly nervous smile.

“Hi” she whispered shyly

“Good morning. Or, well, afternoon now I supposed”

She tilted her head to the side, not even realizing she was staring till he asked again if he could come in.

“Oh! Of course, sorry..”

She stood back and waved him inside, sealing the door behind him. Chewing on a fingernail, she followed him as he carefully set the full tray on the nightstand. He smiled softly at her over his shoulder as he lifted the lids off the plates.

“I remember you telling Molly once how much you loved her French toast. I’m sure I haven’t duplicated it exactly, but I hope it’s still satisfactory”

This time she couldn’t stop staring; he really looked incredibly sexy, ready to serve her breakfast in bed.. Severus cleared his throat and continued

“Strawberries, clotted cream..”

More silent staring, as she remembered the feeling of those long-fingered hands, touching her in all the right places..

“Earl Grey Breakfast Blend.. Nymphadora?”

“Huh?”

He was looking at her, one eyebrow raised expectantly

“Right, sorry.. It all looks amazing, Severus. Thank you, you didn’t have to go through so much trouble”

“No trouble at all” he whispered, reaching over and smoothing an unruly curl behind her ear

Suddenly she wanted nothing more than to lean against that strong chest and feel his arms around her again. As if he’d read her mind, he lightly brushed her cheek, then held out his arms with a gentle smile. Taking a shuddering breath, she held on to him tightly, only relaxing when his arms came around her and pulled her even closer. He tucked her head under his chin, stroking her hair as he rocked her gently. Sighing contently, she slipped her hand under his shirt, lightly stroking his back; he was so warm..

“Nymphadora..” he whispered, tilting her chin and kissing her slowly

She buried her face in his neck as they parted, knowing she was clinging to him but unable to stop

“What’s wrong?” he whispered, brushing light kisses to her temple and cheek, before resting his forehead on her shoulder

“Nothing..” she murmured

He pulled back, running his fingers through her hair as he eyed her dubiously. Blushing, she smiled slightly and lowered her eyes.

“I..I guess I wasn’t sure what to expect when I woke up. Part of me wanted you to still be here, and that part was disappointed me wanted you to still be here when I woke up, and that part was disappointed when you’re weren’t. I’m just..confused”

Severus laid his forehead against hers. “I’m sorry, of course you are.. I should have left, I’ll go now”

He let go of her and started towards the door

“Severus, no!” Tonks cried, reaching for his hand. “I never said I wanted you to leave!”

He turned back, griping her shoulders

“I’m sorry, Nymphadora. I’m so sorry.. I don’t know what to do. I want to do right by you. Tell me what to do, please..”

His voice broke. She grabbed his chin, kissing him hard then lightly stroking his face.

“I don’t know what to do either” she whispered “But I know I don’t want you to leave” She pulled back and took his hand, tugging him toward the bed. “Lay down with me. Just..hold me”

Nodding once, Severus slid back into the soft, welcoming sheets, pulling Nymphadora against him and holding her tightly. She sighed and snuggled closer, draping a slim leg over his. He loved the feeling of her against him, loved every sensation: the smooth silk of her robe under his hands, the warmth of her breath as it seeped through his thin shirt, the way her arms held him tightly. Flashes of last night ran though his mind; he wanted more than anything to untie that robe, kiss her sweet-smelling skin from head to toe, and make love to her over and over again. He could never have enough.. But instead, he ran his hands through her hair, just watching the curls fall through his fingers. She lifted her head slightly to press a soft kiss under his chin, then lightly ran her hand in soothing circles over his chest. This feeling of peace and contentment was heady, the longing dangerous.. He needed to leave before his heart was completely shattered, though he knew deep down it was already too late. He stiffened and pulled away, sitting on the edge of the bed, his back to her.

“Severus? What’s wrong?”

She reached over and ran a hand down his back. Now.. He had to leave now or he’d never be able to.

“I really should go, Nymphadora” He started across the room “I need to get back to Hogwarts”

“Hogwarts? But Severus, it’s Sunday. Surely you don’t have to leave now..”

He made the mistake of turning and looking at her. She sat, clutching that robe to her neck, her hair falling all down her shoulders and back, looking at him with a slightly lost expression. He felt his heart being ripped in two.

“Nymphadora” he groaned, pulling his hair as he paced the large room. “I can’t do this, I can’t just be a distraction to you, something to keep you occupied and warm your bed until Lupin comes back”

She gasped, recoiling as if he’d struck her

“Is that really what you think? How dare you..”

“What else am I supposed to think?” he interrupted her angrily “I’m not going to delude myself into thinking that someone like you could actually have feelings for me. I’m not a fool Nymphadora. I know what last night meant”

“Then explain it to me!” she shouted, rising to her knees on the bed “If you think you know bloody everything, then tell me what last night was!”

He reached for her wand on the nightstand and cast a Silencing charm on the room, then leaned in close

“You don’t know who I am, Nymphadora”

His voice was dangerously low and she couldn’t stop herself from inching away

“I’m not a good man. I’ve lied, I’ve tortured, I’ve killed, for God’s sake! I’ve done things your young, innocent mind couldn’t even begin to comprehend.”

“I’m not a child, Severus!” she shouted, rising on her knees again and shoving him back “So I’d bloody appreciate it if you’d stop talking to me like one! And I know everything that you’ve done! Do you honestly think Dumbledore didn’t tell me, or anyone else in the Order who wanted to know? ‘Trust him’ was not enough for some of us, you know!”

“Then how could you let me in your bed, why did you..” He broke off, pacing again

“I heard what you said last night, when you thought I’d fallen asleep” He fell still, standing with his head down, but kept his back to her. “So you listen to me dammit and you listen hard, Severus Snape.. I’ve seen a side to you in the last six months that I would bet very few, if any, people have seen. You’ve protected me, taken care of me, practically kept me alive.. That’s the man you really are, Severus. That’s the man I’m falling in love with!”

He whirled around at that, rushing to the side of the bed and pulling her to him. “Say it again” he whispered, searching her face as he held her tightly by the shoulders.

She reached up and laid a hand against his cheek. “I love you” she breathed, quietly but surely

“Again” he murmured, sliding his hands up to cup her face

“I love you” she choked out through her tears, as his mouth closed on hers..

“And I love you, I always have” Severus whispered when they parted, tearing up as well but not caring in the slightest; he knew she wouldn’t judge him.

Indeed, she simply reached up and pulled him in for another kiss, slipping her tongue into his mouth. He moaned softly, sliding his arms from her back to her waist and slowly undoing the knot of her robe. Slipping his hands inside, he took a moment to just savor the warmth and softness of her skin, before sliding it off until it fell at his feet in a pool of silk. Stepping back slightly, he ran his eyes over the bare skin he had been fantasizing about just minutes ago. Moving toward her again, he caressed her shoulders, then slowly moved his hands over her breasts, brushing her hardening nipples lightly as he heard her breath catch. He slid his hands to her waist, pulling her to him and kissing her deep and long, as he let his fingers trail teasingly down her stomach, between her legs. He kissed down her neck to her breasts again, stroking her till she pulled his mouth back to hers, kissing him hungrily. He paused for a moment to let her tugging hands pull his shirt and pants off, then lowered her carefully back onto the bed. As he settled on top of her, pushing into her slowly as she wrapped her body around his, he knew he wasn’t going back to Hogwarts today, or anywhere else for that matter. Not to mention all the time he had spent on that brunch..

Tonks woke up this time to a darkening room, and the feeling of Severus’ fingers trailing lightly from her waist to her shoulder, then down her arm and back again. She stayed still, despite the goosebumps, just enjoying his touch; until he moved her hair aside and started kissing her neck while one had lazily caressed her breast.

“Mmm” she murmured, turning her head so his lips brushed against hers. “Wotcher” she breathed, smiling.

“Hello” he whispered, turning her to face him and wrapping his arms around her tightly, kissing her full on the mouth

“What time is it?” she muttered, when she could speak again

He looked over her head at the clock, his eyebrows lifting in surprise. “Nearly seven. I believe we’ve wasted the day away, my love”

“I wouldn’t exactly call it wasted, now, would you really?”

She ran her foot lightly up and down his leg, remembering the sensitive spot right behind his knee. He laughed and rolled her onto her back, kissing her until she saw stars.

“No, I defiantly would not call it wasted” he whispered, staring into her eyes; his were full of a tenderness she never thought she’d see in him.

“I love you” she whispered, reaching up and pulling him down for a quick but searing kiss, then pushing him onto his back and rolling onto her stomach, her chin resting on his chest. “And..you’ve always loved me, you say? Care to elaborate?”

She giggled at the horrified expression on his face. “Don’t feel like sharing? I told you, it’s only fair” She reached up and played with the ends of his hair.

“No, no it’s alright. I’ll tell you” He took her hand and kissed it, then laid her palm against his cheek.

“I was only joking Severus, really. It’s ok”

“No, I want to tell you”

And oddly enough, he really meant it. He smoothed back her hair, kissing her forehead, then laced his fingers through hers.

“I guess I’ve always respected you, even when you were my student. As infuriating as you could be” She giggled again as he pinched the tip of her nose “You never backed down, never seemed afraid of me. I knew you had great talent, that’s why I pushed you so hard. I knew you could be anything you wanted”

She lifted her head from his chest, looking at him quizzically

“When I signed up for Auror Training, Mad-Eye said a good deal of my acceptance came from an anonymous reference from a Hogwarts professor. Was..was that you?”

“Yes, it was” he answered softly “I told you, I believed you could be anything you wanted”

Grinning hugely, she stretched up and kissed him hard. “Thank you”

She smiled against his mouth, then slid back down his chest again, cupping her chin in her hand

“Go on” she said cheekily

Laughing, he ruffled her hair. “I just told you about an act of complete selflessness, and you want more?”

“Of course” she grabbed his hand and kissed it

He was quiet for a moment, trying to think of where to start, twirling a silky curl around his finger. “I guess I really started feeling something for you when you joined the Order. I saw what you’d made of yourself and I couldn’t help but feel proud. And then you came right over and greeted me like an old friend!”

She burst out laughing at that. “And, if I remember correctly, you asked me if I had been hitting Sirius’ stash of Firewhiskey, then turned around a walked off!”

He looked away, embarrassed. “Yes, sorry about that”

She scooted up his chest to turn his head and kiss him again. “Being snarky is part of your charm, Severus” she teased, then nuzzled and kissed his neck for a moment before, sadly, resuming her place at his chest.

“Well” he cleared his throat “After a while, I realized I was actually looking forward to the meetings I used to dread, because I knew I would see you”

She blushed prettily at that, her dark lashes sweeping over her high cheekbones. “I looked forward to seeing you too. I’d always hoped we could be friends. But you never really sought me out. Why? I was always happy and willing to talk to you”

He cupped her lovely face gently in both of his hands. “I am sorry. I was not intentionally brushing you off. Or maybe I was, I don’t know. Black always kept his eye on you, as did Lupin. We don’t exactly have the best history..”

“It’s ok, I know. They’ve told me” she whispered, covering his hands with her own

He took a deep breath and continued “Anyway, I figured it would be in everyone’s best interest if I avoided any kind of confrontation with them. And then.. Well, we all noticed something was going on between you and Lupin. So I pulled away even more. I wasn’t going to stand in your way; he’s the better man for you anyway, Nymphadora. I have no idea what I’m doing, I’ll only hurt you..”

He suddenly couldn’t speak past the lump in his throat. She squeezed his hands tightly.

“He left me, Severus. Yes, Dumbledore asked him to go, but he didn’t even put up a fight. He said it was probably for the best, he was too dangerous for me anyway. Sometimes I wonder if he ever even really loved me..”

Her voice trailed off as she lowered her head to hide her tears. He griped her waist and shifted her up so they were face to face, then holding her achingly beautiful face in his hands again.

“I can’t answer that, Nymphadora. But I can tell you one thing for certain: I have never loved anyone as much as I love you. And I know I never will”

She was crying freely now, and he was as well. But it didn’t matter. All that mattered was them, this moment..

Tonks didn’t even bother trying to brush her tears away; she knew, as Severus leaned forward to kiss her like he never had before, that more were sure to follow. She held on to him tightly as he rolled her over, kissing his way down her neck. He could feel her pulse throb under his lips, the feeling so intensely errotic..

“Severus” she whispered, tangling her fingers in his hair and hooking a leg around his hips.

Now it was his turn to gasp, feeling how hot and ready she was for him. He started to lower his head to her breast, but she lifted his head, crushing her lips to his.

“I love you so much” he breathed into her

“I love you..too” her voice was nothing more than a strained whimper

Drawing back, he slid into her, making love to her so gently, his eyes never leaving hers. He lifted her up so he could wrap both his arms around her, holding her so close and so tightly that she didn’t know where he ended and she began. Every touch, every sensation seemed magnified, the feelings so intense she almost couldn’t stand it. Severus ignited a fire in her that she had never felt before, and if she were honest with herself, it confused her even more. Was this real, true love? Or just heightened passion and lust? As she looked into his beautiful onyx eyes, she knew in her heart that the love shinning from them was real. And that gave her the courage to open her broken heart to him and let him in.
