Chapter 9

�I
hope you like Italian,� Hermione told Severus softly as they both followed the
waiter to their booth seat. �I do come here often, and I enjoy the food here a
lot.�

�Anything�s
fine,� Severus said as he allowed her to slide, following after her.

Hermione
faced him, slightly surprised that Severus sat beside her, instead of across
from her. She wasn�t expecting that, nor was she expecting him to take hold of
her hand above the table.

�Signore,
Signora, our menu for our Valentine�s Day special,� the waiter said in a thick
Italian accent, handing it to Severus. �I will return when you are ready to
order.�

�Thank
you,� Hermione said kindly, and glanced at the menu along with Severus. The
menu offered a nice selection of dishes; from the appetizers, main courses,
desserts, and of course, wine.

�Oh
shit!� Severus muttered softly, not liking what he saw. He pulled his hand away
from Hermione�s, rested them both beneath his chin and just looked at the rose
that stood in front of him.

Hermione
frowned, and wondered what was wrong. �We could go somewhere else Severus if
you don�t like it here.� Was it the romantic atmosphere that he didn�t like?
�Do you want to go somewhere else, maybe a pub?�

Severus
shook his head. �I said it was fine, and you can order anything you please.�

There
was a tone and a look in Severus�s voice that Hermione noticed. It was one that
she heard when he was angry. �What would you like to order then?� she asked.

�Anything,�
Severus answered. Honestly though, he didn�t want anything.

While
they were in the cab earlier, he tried to lose his erection, hoping it would
soften. Reciting potions ingredients, and whatever
else popped in his head at that time that wasn�t related to sex. It was hard to
do since there was a very attractive witch that was either sitting right next
to him, or was glued to his side.

The
restaurant had a nice menu. Severus had no doubts that the food tasted good.
But it wasn�t the taste he was worried about. It was more of the ingredients in
it. Oysters, artichokes, truffles, and of course dark
chocolate, to mention a few. Problem for him was that they were aphrodisiacs. His libido was already
giving him some trouble, and it was hard
to ignore.

Cursing
at fates, Severus asked why he was being tormented all the more when Hermione
promised that he would be free from it for the night. Deliberately, she may
have not been doing it, but she was tormenting him. First it was the movie,
next the humiliation of snogging and losing his head
in the middle of a sidewalk, and for minutes which seemed like hours, he was
throbbing hard and painfully beneath his jeans.

Hermione
didn�t know what to do or say. She didn�t want to make him angry. So far, she
had been enjoying her night, but ever since the kiss, it was obvious that there
was some tension between them. Was it a mistake, and was she to blame? She was
the one that kissed him first on the cheek, further leading to something else
more passionate.

For
her, the kiss was the high point of the evening so far. If things were going to
go downhill from there, she didn�t want the night to continue on. She would rather
choose to go home, than to let the evening turn into ruin.

�We
can go home,� Hermione said softly, with a hint of sadness in her voice. �We
don�t have to continue on if you don�t want to.�

Severus
turned to face Hermione and frowned. �What makes you think that I want to go
home? We had a deal that we were to have a date, and I am still upholding on my
word.�

�The
kiss�� Hermione said uneasily. �You�re mad. Was it a mistake?�

�No,
it wasn�t,� Severus said tightly. He knew where the discussion was leading to
and he didn�t want to go there. How was he supposed to tell her that he was
about to explode in his pants if he ate any of the food that was on the menu?

�Then
what is the problem?� Hermione asked. �Please tell me, I don�t understand.�

�My Gods woman!� Severus growled in a low tone so that others
wouldn�t hear him. �Minutes ago, we were about to shag on a lamppost. And then
now, there are all these aphrodisiacs on the menu. Who knows, maybe we�ll be
shagging up here on this very seat?�

Hermione
blushed for a second as she tried to hold in her laughter, but she couldn�t.
She burst out laughing, launching herself at him, and wrapping her arms around
his waist. �You really are a funny man Severus, in a disturbed sort of way. I
don�t think we would go that far in a right state of mind.�

�We
weren�t in a right state of mind,� he pointed out. He stopped breathing for a
moment, when he felt her hand flatten on his stomach. If she went any lower,
she would notice his hardened erection. He prayed that he wouldn�t cum in his
pants anytime soon, hoping that he could hold it until later. Otherwise, he
wouldn�t be able to forgive himself not just for embarrassment, but also for
his manly pride.

Hermione
chewed on her bottom lip and had to agree with him. She still wanted him, and
felt herself get wet again just thinking about the drugging kiss that they
shared earlier. In all her life, she had never been turned on by him in such a
way. He only had to do so little, and it affected her so much. His voice, his
lips� the rest was all imagination and wishful thinking.

The
night was going better than she had ever imagined. For weeks, since the time
they had planned the auction, she tried to imagine how things would go. The
kiss was a complete surprise. �You don�t regret our kiss then?� she finally
asked.

Severus
didn�t reply to Hermione with words. Instead, he lowered his head and kissed
her ever so softly. This time the kiss was softer and gentler with no rush.
�Does that answer your question?� he asked her when he pulled away.
