Unavoidable Attraction

So close

"I'm almost done with this box." Hermione said picking up the last few bottles to label. "Are there any more?"

"No that's it." Severus said not looking up from his pile of work. "Looks like you'll get to leave early tonight."

"Oh really? I thought maybe I'd stick around. You know, see the potions master in action."

"There's really not that much to see. I just have mounds of paperwork to complete. Rather boring stuff you wouldn't want to watch."

Hermione giggled at his oblivion. She finished writing on the last bottle and she put the box back up against the wall. She slowly made her way over to door in the back of the classroom and used her wand to lock it.

When Severus heard the click, he looked up confused. "What are you..." he started to ask but the smile on her face told him everything.

She walked up to his desk and leaned over it planting a big kiss on his lips. She could feel the shock in his lips and she giggled at this. She felt his hand reach up and rest on the back of her neck. He pulled her closer into him and she slowly got onto his desk. Leaning forward into him while on her hands and knees.

"Come here." He's whispered when their lips parted slightly.

She steadied herself by putting her hands on his shoulders as she came down and straddled him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him again.

The tips of his fingers traced her back slowly making her arch. She broke away from their kiss and let out a soft moan. His hands continued to wander over her body before resting on her hips.

He looked up at her and smiled.

"So you do know how to smile!" Hermione exclaimed as she took a fistful of his hair in her palm

He laughed and began to place gentle kisses on her neck and down her chest.

When she took a sharp inhale, he paused. He looked up at her with a slight panicked expression. "We can't."

"What?" Hermione looked at him with a pouty face and went in for another kiss but he stopped her.

"Hermione please. I want to. Trust me I do, but you're my student."

"Well," Hermione stood up and straightened her skirt. "I didn't hear any complaining when I first sat down."

"No...but i..."

"But what Severus?" She didn't mean to sound harsh, but she had been waiting for that moment. The special moment they could have shared. "is it just that you see me as a child still?"

"No it's not that at all. It's against the rules."

"Because you've always been one to follow rules." She smirked. She went and gathered her book bag and walked to the door.

She was angry at him for stopping her so she decided to add a little extra bite before leaving. "By the way, Ginny knows."

She laughed at the look on his face as she shut the door but that quickly faded away when she was alone.

They were so close.
