She is smooth, calm, collected. Cold and calculating. She's the ice that soothes his burn; cools his passionate frenzy.

Her obvious beauty is what draws his attention, but it's her cool demeanor that makes him stay. Makes him want her.

Her long, pale neck looks even milkier in the moonlight and all Lucius can think about is pressing wet, hot kisses to every surface of it; tangling his fingers in her golden tresses; digging deeper towards the darkness that glints in her eyes before it's gone just as suddenly as it appears—an ability that Lucius finds himself admiring. Just another thing to add to his steadily growing list of things that make Narcissa Black perfect.

He's not wary of her, as are the rest of the students that attend school with them, but it's the night of his parents' party during the winter break of his sixth year that Lucius' interest is piqued.

That night that he gets his first glimpse of the real Narcissa Black—that glint in her eyes. That night that he decides he wants her, and not just physically. That night that Narcissa becomes his without even realizing. That night that Lucius becomes determined to unearth Narcissa's darkness and discover just how passionate she can be.

He is rough, frenzied, chaotic. Hot, but similarly calculating; he is devious. He's the spark that ignites her fire. Her fervor. And, while she does not know it yet, he is the one that gives her life.


A/N: This is going to be a series of (relatively) short fics about the lives of Narcissa and Lucius (if you couldn't tell from the description/summary, haha) who are one of my favorite pairings in the world. While I cannot promise consistent updates, I will tell you that I have every chapter planned (and a few already written, but in the incorrect order haha) and I promise not to abandon this series, which I have seen quite a few times and each time leaves my heart just a little more broken. With that said, I hope you enjoy(ed) my writing and hope that you will continue to enjoy it. Thank you for reading and please feel free to leave me a review! :)
