Chapter 5 ~ A Voice in the Dark

True to her anal-retentive nature, Hermione had boxed, bagged and packed everything in the flat up in record time. She wouldn’t be leaving for Hogwarts for two days, but when she was nervous, she tended to overwork. A job that should have rightly taken two days, was completed. Now she had nothing else to do. Plus she was tense, anxious and unable to sleep. She spent most of the night walking from room to room, making sure she hadn’t forgotten anything, but this was a bust, because everything she needed was already packed. She then tried having a nice, relaxing cup of tea but it didn’t calm her at all. In one day, she had the solution to her problem of work, living quarters and getting into university. In one day her dream of doing something truly important came true. But it was so much...so much.

Standing in the almost empty living room, Hermione didn’t want to think, to admit that she was afraid. That she felt very small and alone. She had always wanted to make a difference in the lives of others, but she had never experienced what it was like to have the weight of responsibility on her shoulders. Certainly, she wasn’t alone in her efforts, but it felt like she had taken on something so large, it would swallow her. So many lives would be counting on her. She was afraid of failing them. She wondered if Severus ever felt like this.

***************************
Severus, lying in his bed idly, staring at the canopy overhead, and thinking about all that had transpired that day, mentally felt Hermione call his name. He reached out to her mind and immediately was aware of her condition. Maybe...maybe she would...

*****************************

Hermione walked into her bedroom and sat down on the edge of her bed. She dropped her head into her hands, but didn’t cry. She just sat there, feeling the weight of it, trying not to think of anything.

Can’t sleep, Hermione?

She started. That was Severus’ voice. He was using their connection to speak with her. She was feeling lost and lonely, so she responded.

No. I can’t.

Would you like me to come and give you reason to sleep?

Hermione wavered.

No.

The voice in her head seemed to sigh.

Hermione, why do you deny your need for me? I know you want release. Was I such a terrible teacher?

No. You were a wonderful teacher. But that is all you were. You said nothing more.

All I was? And yet you still think about me pounding into your body. You think about my tongue down your throat, you think about me licking your clit. You think about swallowing me whole, riding my cock. I’ve seen it, in your dreams that you block out when you wake, unable to face that side of you that has no reason. That makes me more than a teacher. That makes me an obsession. I don’t mind being your obsession. Let me come to you. Tonight. Now.

Hermione felt a familiar warmth gush out of her, despite herself. The voice in her head gave a small, sexy laugh.

I know what just happened. Let me come, Hermione. Admit you need me.

Severus, stop tormenting me.

You are tormenting yourself. With me, you can let go of everything. You are frightened, let me show you there is no need to be frightened of the role you are to play. I can comfort you. Let me come to you. Admit you need me. That’s all you have to do.

What then, Severus? You will leave me.

Yes, but I will come to you any time you call me.

What if I want more?

I will give you all you can take, all that you can stand...and beyond. You know my hunger.

What if I want more, Severus?

You don’t. Not now. You are making excuses. You are trying to find a reason to maintain control, where there is none. All you need is me... at this moment in time. I will satisfy that need. Let...me...come.

But, Severus...

Let me come. At least to quench the desire that is constantly burning inside of you. To bring you relief. For a while. You need me.

* silence *

You wanted me to be the one with you last night. I know what happened. He couldn’t give you what you needed.

Severus! You spied on me?

I saw your thoughts today, before you let me in. I saw your thoughts when you changed into your robes. I could have had you today, Hermione. When you were naked under your robe. I only had to touch you. My touch is electric to you, it sparks you. You wouldn't have been able to deny me. But I held back. But now, you need my touch. Let me touch you tonight, Hermione. Let me take you where only I can take you. Give in, Hermione. Give in to the truth burning between your thighs, creaming your walls. Admit you need me, Hermione and I will come to you now and give you pleasure after pleasure after pleasure...

Oh...gods

Hermione’s body was on fire at the thought of him buried deep inside her. Every fiber of her being cried out for his powerful possession, his sweet pain, his all-consuming hunger.

Yes...yes...Hermione. You feel the honesty of your need. Tell me what I need to hear. I am burning too, burning to be inside you, burning to taste your flesh again..

She broke. She couldn’t deny him any longer. She knew he’d become her weakness and she needed his strength now.

Come, Severus...come to me. I do need you. I need you badly.

Hermione was suddenly aware of a deep, feral growl that made her hair absolutely stand on end.

I will be there soon.

A/N: Sorry, LUVTHELAB...she just couldn’t hold out any longer. Severus is just too delicious, too persuasive, and too damn good to deny. Large lemons on the way >g.
