A/N: Home from Hogwarts for the summer as a married couple. They are finally sleeping in Dinah's bed in London, which she has hoped they would be able to for a VERY long time now, since they seem to have slept everywhere else already :D

FROM: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE – Home

In a moment he exited the bathroom with his bathrobe tied around his waist, and him most certainly naked underneath. Dinah squirmed a little as early sexual pangs began to gently spark in the area between her legs.

Raising an eyebrow at her reaction, he climbed into bed next to her and smoothed the covers over their sitting forms; "There. It is as though this is the end of an normal day, as though we have been living here like this all our lives. You wanted to come here sooner and we were unable to, but now we can sleep together in your – our bed."

She blushed, reaching to trace the collar of his bathrobe, letting the bare skin of her fingers brush along his chest and collarbone as she did so, causing him to shift around as well. She smiled; "It's perfect. Except of course that there's no buttons this time."

He smiled, lifting one of her hands to his lips; "There will be ample opportunity for that in the future. And besides, I feel like you're going to start forcing me to wear Muggle clothes again very soon."

Dinah grinned a little wickedly; "Possibly. Oh, you know!" she laughed, looking around them; "You put me on the wrong side!"

"Oh," he frowned, looking to see that that was indeed the case. His frown quickly turned to a smirk, though, and then to a smile as he turned back to her; "It feels natural like this, though. Perhaps we shall have opposites sides in the dungeons and in the Muggle world? It might be… fun."

"Hmm," she considered this, looking around and nodding; "You're right, I do like it like this." She laughed and shrugged; "Well, why not? It works." She leaned forward, pressing her lips to his as his arms wandered around her waist, pushing her robes apart and then sliding his warm hands along her body and up to her shoulders, pushing the robe off the rest of the way as she slid her fingers up into his hair and let herself lean backward, their mouths opening and their tongues mingling together.

When they took a breather and sat back up a bit, she let her hands move to untie the robe from his waist, pushing it apart to reveal his bare chest and sliding her fingers up and down, eliciting a groan from him. Smiling, she moved to straddle his lap and rub up against him as his hands stroked along the inside of her thighs. She whimpered a little and pressed herself into his hand when it found its way between her legs, wrapping her arms around his shoulders for leverage as she rocked against his caresses, the little sparks now coalesced into a full flame.

"Merlin, Severus, you feel so good," she growled, reaching one hand down from his shoulders to return the favor, stroking up and down along his erection.

"Likewise," he grunted, leaning forward a little as they shifted around to get into better positions. As their mutual strokes increased in fervor he moaned a little and pressed his lips to hers; "Dinah…"

"Severus!" she rasped, spreading her legs for him, unable to wait any longer. And then her muscles cried out their celebration as he entered into her, his strong body pinning her back to the bed and his tongue driving into her mouth. She lifted her hips from the ground to match his thrusts and help them both along as they groaned against each other, always demanding more and then giving it right away.

As he released inside of her Dinah wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling herself as close as possible and following just seconds later with a gasp of pleasure, colors flashing before her eyes as shockwaves rang throughout her body, their tremors of orgasm matching and then slowly dying away together as their muscles relaxed and they collapsed onto the bed.

"Mm," Severus murmured into her neck; "Good?"

"Yes. Oh, yes. Perfect. Thank you," she slid her fingers into his damp, greasy, silky hair.

He tilted his head to kiss her; "I told you I would make it special."

Laughing, she snuggled close and melted into his embrace; "You did. I'll never scold you again for waiting so long to stay here with me."

"I appreciate it," he laughed along with her.

"Granted, we still have to sleep. I said sleep here," she pointed out, grinning.

"I could probably sleep, after all of that," he admitted, chuckling.

"Probably," she chuckled as well, grasping his arms and guiding them to wrap around her waist; "It's not too early for a nap."

"Mm," he agreed, resting his chin over her shoulder and his head against hers, pulling her back tightly against him. He pressed his lips to the upper part of her neck just near her ear, and then whispered; "We're home?"

"Yes," she sighed, closing her eyes and smiling along with him; "Home."
