"Someday you'll cry for me like I cried for you, someday you'll miss me like I missed you, someday you'll need me like I needed you. Someday you'll love me, but I won't love you."

PASSION BURNS DEEP

She couldn't recall how she had come to be standing in the middle of a deserted corridor but somehow she knew what she was doing. Turning in the right direction, Hermione made her way back to the Gryffindor common room alone. She planned to grab a book and settle beside the fire to read.

Draco was napping on the couch in front of the fire, so Hermione curled up in a chair and opened her book. The fire crackled warmly in the grate, sparks dancing around like a fireworks display. It didn't occur to her that Malfoy shouldn't be there in the Gryffindor tower with her.

"Having fun, my little bookworm?"

Hermione jumped up startled, she had forgotten that Malfoy was in the room. He had come up behind her chair and was reading over her shoulder; when she stood up, her book slide to the floor.

He bent down and picked up the fallen book.

"I didn't mean to startle you," he said kindly.

She stepped forward to take her book from him.

"There's something I wanted to do this morning, but I didn't get the chance to".

"Oh, and pray tell what that might be".

She backed away from him as he took a few steps towards her. He laid the book on a table as he passed by it. Hermione's back hit the wall behind her and she realized there was nowhere to go. His face was inches from her own.

"Instead of telling you, I'll show you".

'There's no backing out now,' she found herself thinking. "Yes, please do."

His lips came gently onto hers for the quickest second. He pulled back, waiting for her reaction. She grabbed his collar and pulled him back to her. This time he kissed harder.

She teased his mouth by nibbling on his lower lip. He wanted to scream when she wouldn't allow him full access into her mouth.

She pulled away, eyes shinning with excitement.

"Had enough?"

"Not until I have the whole thing".

She giggled and slid out from his grasp and ran playfully behind the couch, biting her lower lip.

"What do I get if I catch you?" He was enjoying himself immensely. She really was good at playing hard to get and her body was driving him insane.

"You get whatever you want," she ran her tongue over her lips, her mouth was so inviting.

With one arm he vaulted over the couch to land in front of her. He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close.

"Whatever I want?" he asked seducingly.

"Yes, Draco, anything".

"But first I have a favor to ask you".

"What?" she asked smiling.

He leaned forward whispering in her ear. "Keep calling me Draco. Malfoy seems so harsh".

In answer, she kissed him again, this time allowing him full access. He wrapped both arms around her. One was still around her waist, the other one on the back of her head.

She instinctively knew what to do with her own. With one hand she ran her fingers though his soft blonde hair. With the other hand she unbuttoned his shirt, running her fingers softly down his chest.

He was now at the mercy of her touch. He moaned for more. She ran her hand over one of his firm nipples, gently caressing it lightly.

That did the trick; he couldn't stand it anymore. He picked her up and she wrapped her long slender legs around his hips.

She arched her neck as his lips wondered downwards. He didn't stay in one place so as to not leave any unwanted bruises. She grabbed at his hair, never wanting to let go.

He put her on the couch and gently lay on top of her. He was pulling her shirt off, as she was unbuckling his belt. Every time her fingers brushed against him, shivers ran though his body. He had never experienced anything like this before.

"Wait, Draco," she finally gasped.

Hermione," he whispered urgently. "You're not going to make me stop are you?"

"No, of course not. We just can't do this here."

"Fine then, we won't".

He stood and picked her up again, cradling her insanely gorgeous body to him. As he ran his fingers down her, he couldn't help but notice that all her curves where in the right places. She shivered under his touch and moaned for him to hurry up.

He carried her up the stairs to her room and closed the door behind them.
